SOUTHERN OREGON
COMPANY IS SUED
Claimants Want Land Grant
ed for Building of Coos
Bay Wagon Road.
TERMS FIXED BY CONGRESS
Act Provides That Iand B Sold In
Tracts Xot L-arger Than 160
Acres, at $2. SO an Acre Land
Sold by Owners in Bulk.
Contending that applicants for Iffrtd
of the Coos Bay wagon road grant
should have the right to buy the land
In 160-acre tracts at a price not ex
ceeding $2.60 an acre, 86 applicants
have brought suit In the United State
Circuit Court against the present
possessor of the land the Southern
Oregon Company, whose chief stock
holders are "William W. Crapo, William
.T. Rotch, Elijah Smith and Prosper "W.
Smith, residents of New York and Bos
ton. These applicants want a total of
17,000 acres out of 92,000 held by the
company. Another suit will be filed
next week for some 1700 acxes more.
The would-bo purchasers base their
claims on the land srant act of Con
frress which donated the lands to aid
construction of a wagon road from
Roseburff to Coos Bay and which says
that the "lands shall be sold to any
one person only in quantities not
greater than one quarter section and
for a price not exceeding $2.50 an acre."
In opite of this language of the law,
the land haa been sold repeatodly In
bulk and now the possessor Is willing
to sell only the most worthless at $2.50
an acre
The land was granted by the United
States to the State or Oregon, which in
turn, by Legislative act. granted It to
the Coos Bay Wagon Road Company
"upon the conditions and limitations
therein prescribed" (in the act of
Congress). The Coos Bay Wagon Road
Company sold 36,533 acres of the land
to John Miller, alias Ambrose Wood
roof, In 1875, and sold the remaining
61,143 acres to William H. Besse,
in 1884. Woodrodf sold to Collls
P Huntington, Charles Crocker, Ice
land Stanford and Mark Hopkins;
Huntington, Stanford and Hopkins sold
to Crocker, Crocker to Besse, and Besse
to Russell Gray, Gray to the Oregon
Southern Improvement Company, that
company to Crapo and Roach, and they
to the Southern Oregon Company. The
land which the Coos Bay Wagon Road
Company sold directly to. Besse, he
sold to the Oregon Southern Improve
ment Company, that company to Crapo
and Rotch and they to the Southern
Oregon Company
ftales Alleged to Bo Void.
The Coos Bay Wagon Road Company
sold the lands, says the complaint of
the applicants for the land, "disregard
ing, disobeying and contemning
the conditions, restrictions and
limitations In said act of Con
gress and act of the Legislature of the
Ptate of Oregon," and the complaint
alleges the sales therefore were "ab
solutely null and void and of no ef
fect and conveyed no estate or title
whatsoever In or to any of said lands"
On account of the doubt, therefore,
that title has passed legally from the
Coos Bay Wagon Road Company, its
stockholders are made parties to the
suit, together with the Southern Ore
gon Company. The company Is now
dissolved.
The complaint prays for a decree
from the court as follows:
First That Congress created the grant
upon a "condition subsequent" which "was
and now U annexed to said estate" limiting
the selling price to $2.60 an acre and quan
tity which any purchaser may buy to 160
acres.
econd That the demand ox the claim
ants for tha land be declared valid and the
applicants be given first claim to the lands
ought and pay the Southern Oregon Com
pany tXSO an acre, together with all taxes
paid on tha land.
Third That the Southern Oregon Com
pany render an account ot all taxes paid.
Fourth That the Southern Oregon Com
pany executa deeds to tha apollcaats for
the lands they seek to buy.
fifth That If the company neglect so to
do. that the decree of tha court stand as
' a deed to tha lands In favor of tha appli
cants; also that a receiver be appointed to
protect the interests of all oarties.
Elxth That the applicants be reim
bursed by tha company for the costs of the
suit.
Seventh That the comsany ba decreed
trustee of tha lands, holding them for the
benefit of the State of Oregon, the United
Btates and tha applicants for tha land.
Bonaparte Party Defendant.
Attorney-General Bonaparte Is cited
as a party defendant In the suit, on
account of the interest which Govern
ment authorities claim the Govern
ment possesses in the grant
The applicants ask for a receiver
because of the many conflicting claims
to land that will be made, and the con
fusion and. Injustice that will result,
and because there Is danger that the
Southern Oregon Company may sell all
the lands Involved in the suit and com
plicate title to the land in some manner
The complaint cites that all the lands
sought are vacant, unimproved and
wild and wilfully withheld from set
tlement, thus retarding the growth of
mo cuuiuiuniLy x. a. Aiinot is attor
ney for the applicants.
BOXING BOUTS ARE FAST
Tommy Tracey's Pupils Give- Fine
Exhibition of Art.
It was a most enthusiastic aggrega
tion of admirers of the boxing game that
left Tommy Tracey's gymnasium at the
conclusion of last night's smoker, for
they had witnessed some of the best
amateur bouts seen In Portland in many
a day. With the exception of one match
wherein one of the principals got cold
feet and failed to show up, which re
quired a substitution, all were clean cut,
rattling good exhibitions of the manly
art. In the main event of the evening
only was a spirit of vlndlctiveness Bhown,
but In this case both - contestants were
trreatly desirous of winning and there
fore some of their gruelling tactics could
be condoned. At that they did not over
reach the bounds of amateur boxing
rules.
This bout was between Que Rosche, one
of Tracey's pupils, and Jimmy Donohue,
of Battery A, Fourth Artillery. The two
boys were evenly matched and both
deserved praise for the capable manner
in which they demonstrated their knowl
edge of the fistic art. Many of the fight
fans present thought Donohue should
have been awarded the decision because
of his work In the last round, but the
referee, Jack King, rendered his decision
calling the match a draw correctly, for
even if the soldier had a slight advan
tage In tha final round. Rosche had dis
played the better skill, as. well as
strategy, during the earlier minutes of
the bout.
Of equal size and possessed of about
equal skill the two men furnished a con
test such as has seldom been witnessed
in this city. " The red-headed lad from
South Portland, and the blue-eyed soldier
boy, exchanged straight arm Jolts, hard
blows to the head and body with as much
gusto as would have two seasoned ring
generals. Rosche is an old acquaintance
of Tracey's patrons, for in January he
was pitted against Sullivan, but at that
time was hardly in condition and lost the
decision. Last night, however, he looked
In perfect shape and really needed to be,
for his- opponent was a scrapper of the
whirlwind type, and between them they
had the crowd on edge at all times.
They mixed from start to finish of each
round. Another go between these two
would prove the best drawing card
Tracey could have.
The opening bout on the programme
was between Willie Bundy. a little fellow
and Nick McCarthy, a much taller fad.
This bout was declared a draw, but the
crowd thought Bundy should have had
the decision.
The cleanest bout on the programme
was the splendid exhibition given by Bob
Wheatley and Lou Young. These young
sters boxed four rounds during which not
one clinch was recorded, and both dis
played more than passing cleverness at
the game. Both were roundly cheered
by the spectators when they left the
ring, and the bout was declared a draw.
Prank Sax and "Kid" Wilson put up
a good bout which was also declared a
draw. Both were plainly tired at the
finish. .
What promised to be an exciting match
was Bpolled because of one of the men
falling to show up. This was the bout
scheduled between Ian Sullivan and Lou
Madden, the latter falling to put In tils
appearance. Sullivan gave an exhibition
bout with a 200-pounder named RusseL
JAP JAILS FOUR
STJRPHISES TRAMPS WTCILK
THEY RIFLE CAR,
With Shotgun, Ho Forces Thieves to
Surrender and Delivers Pris
oners to Chehalls Sheriff.
CHJETHAIJS, Wash., Feb. 2L (Special.)
A plucky Japanese cook employed on a
Northern Pacific construction car at
Napavtne held up four hobo robbers near
that place last nl?ht and the whole bunch
was landed In the county jail a few hours
later. The men, who give their names as
J. McDonald, Charles Anderson, Walter
Ilaselgren and Thomas Roberts, had en
tered the car during the absence of the
occupants. Taking an axe they broke
open a trunk and took two watches and
two razors.
The Japanese returned to the car unex
pectedly and the men fled down the
track. The Jap seized a shotgun and
pursued them, holding them up and
forcing their surrender. Sheriff Deggeller
and deputy returned with the men at
midnight.
A. M. Green, who but yesterday com
pleted & 90-day sentence in the county
Jail, was arrested again last night at Cen
tralia with a quantity of stolen goods in
his possession. There are 23 prisoners in
the Lerwis County Jail.
Yesterday, the County Commissioners
In special session and after a consultation
with County Attorney Harmon and Sher
iff Deggeller decided to provide at once
additional Jail quarters in the upstairs
rooms of the Courthouse.
BOND TO REPRESENT OREGON
Awarded First Place In Oratorical
Tryout by Two Points.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Feb. ZL (Special.) In the tryout
for Interstate orator, held here in Vlllard
Hall tonight, Jesse L. Bond, '09, won first
pla.ee and will be Oregon's representative
in the big contest. His oration was
"Evolution, of Character."
That the contest was very closely con
tested Is evidenced by the fact that Bor.d

small margin of two points. Whealdon's
oration was "Commercial Despotism,"
and was adjudged the best of 'all in com
position, but Bond won by his delivery.
Bert Preecott, Oregon's representative

BAILEY SUCCEEDS
PATRICK' 1RUIN
Popular Police Captain Be
comes Head of the City
Detective Force.
OFFICERS CHANGE PLACES
Late Inspector and Chief of Secret
Service Branch Steps Into Shoes
of His Successor Today.
Other Radical Changes.
Virtually a complete reorganisation
of the local police department will be
effected In pursuance of an order Is
sued yesterday by Chief of Police
Grltxmachcr. The order makes assign
ments and changes of officers and
patrolmen radical in character. The
principal change affects Captain Pat
rick Bruin, who Is now head of the
detective staff and Inspector of police,
and Captain George H. Bailey, now
In command of the second night relief.
Captain Bruin, by the order. Is relieved
of command of the detective staff and

tective Department.
placed in charge of the second night
relief, while Captain Bailey Is pro
moted to the office of captain of de
tectives and inspector of police, the
two officers changing places.
Besides this most Important change,
the rank and file of the police force Is
generally shifted about, numerous
changes being made among the men
from one relief to another, and from
one beat to another, and numerous
changes of the boundaries of beats are
established, which have ' been made
owing to the late additions to the
ranks of the patrolmen, to better facili
tate the covering of territory.
Among the Important personal
changes is one that affects Acting De
tectives Kay and Klenlen, heretofore
known as the "moral squad." Klenlen,
as has already been announced, has
been transferred from plain clothes
duty to uniform and assigned to a beat
in the residence district, but today he
will be moved to the North End
beat . where most of the city's
dives exist, and will be on the
first night relief under command
of Captain Slover. Kay has been
relieved from all work in connection
with gambling and other "moral" con
ditions and has been assigned to work
with Acting Detective Smith In keep
ing a watch over tha pawnshops and
second-hand stores.
For Good of Service.
When asked regarding the changes,
Chief Grltzmacher said that his order
Implied nothing further than what It
contained and that all changes were
for the good of the service. Further
than this he declined to discuss the
changes.
The Chiefs order has taken the entire
force by surprise, and it was discussed
with intense interest yesterday afternoon
and last night. In some quarters it is
said that there has been friction at vari-
Inspector Bruin. Who Becomes a
, Regular Captain of Police.
ous times between Captain Bruin and
Chief Grltzmacher, but neither of these
officials will admit this and well-informed
people In police circles scout the truth of
this rumor and call It Idle gossip.
While the change in Capatln Bruin's
case might be regarded as a reduction in
rank, it does not affect his pay, as he
receives the same remuneration as cap
tain of police as he did as inspector and
captain of detectives. Bruin was appoint
ed to the position he leaves today about
four years ago. He passed the civil serv
ice examination held at that time for
captains of police and was In the same
class with Captain Slover. Bruin passed
with the highest percentage )n fcie class
and was appointed to the newly created
office of captain and inspector of police.
At the time his appointment causd
considerable talk and was met with op
position by some members of the police
force, who maintained that the position
should have been given to one of the
"n who had been on the force prior to
fet t::.-:J?:'!'5- -..jr
that time and who had had experience
In metropolitan police work.
The opposition to Bruin culminated In
ouster proceedings, which were brought
by Patrolman Isakson with a view to
having Bruin's appointment annulled. The
City Council took up the matter and ap
pointed a committee ti look Into the
charges brought. The findings of this
committee were against Bruin, and the
matter was then taken tip in the Circuit
Court, which held that Bruin had been
regularly appointed by civil service regu
lations and refused? to remove him from
his position.
Prior to his appointment Bruin had
been in the regular Army for about ten
years. His record In the Army was a
good one. He entered it as a private and
after successfully working his way up
through the various grades was made
First Sergeant in the Fifty-ninth United
States Volunteers, then In the Philip
pines. He was promoted successively to
be Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant
and Captain of the Philippine Constab
ulary. At the time of coming to Portland,
Captain Bruin was away from the Phil
ippines on an accumulated leave of ab
sence. When he first arrived In, this
city he was employed by Mayor Lane for
some private Investigations which the
Mayor was able to pay from a fund spe
cially allowed him under the law. It
was Immediately after Bruin had made
these Investigations, which no doubt
dealt almost entirely with some mem
bers of the police fores at that time,
that he made application for an exami
nation for police captain.
It Is out of these- Investigations made
by Bruin that most of the Ill-feeling
against him on the force at that time is
said to have arisen. When seen last
night Captain Bruin said that he did not
care to discuss the change.
Twelve Years In Service.
Captain Bailey, who takes Bruin's po
sition at the head of the plain clothes
staff, has been on the police force since
1896 and has a brilliant record. Ho was
appointed captain four and a half years
ago. As a patrolman he served for sev
eral years at the Union Depot and on,
North End beats. During a greater por
tion of this time he worked with Patrol
man Gibson. . . . ,
The services of these two men In the
North End, where their reputation for
clean dealings was never assailed, are
said to nave been remarkably effective..
With the exception of one month Bailey
has been in charge of- the second night
relief since his promotion to. a captaincy.
Rumors of graft have never been asso
ciated, with his name and he has the repu
tation for quickness In ' action, good
Judgment, popularity with his men,
square dealing and executive ability.
When questioned last night regarding
the change In his position. Captain Bailey
said: :
"It comes as a tremendous surprise to
me. I almost .regret to leave the men in
my command. I have been with them so
long and have worked with them so well,
and I hope I have been well liked by
them. I will certainly do my utmost to
serve the city In the new position."
T
ADOPT BLANK RESOLUTION OF
APPRECIATION.
Sensation at Willamette University,
Whose President Has Recent
ly Tendered Resignation.
SALEM, Or... Feb. ZL (Special.) The
most startling sensation that ever agi
tated faculty and students of Willamette
University was sprung today when the
student body adopted a blank sheet of
paper as .a resolution expressing appre
ciation of the work of President John H.
Coleman.
This was a deliberate and direct slap at
President Coleman. At a meeting of the
student body yesterday, a resolution was
adopted directing that a farewell recep
tion be tendered President Coleman, who
resigned a few days ago. It was also
ordered on motion that a committee be
appointed to draft resolutions expressing
appreciation of Coleman's work at Wil
lamette. Since that time, however, it appears
that the students changed their minds.
When the student body met today t e
resolutions committee handed In a blank
sheet of paper, and It was adopted by an
overwhelming vote Then the students
reconsidered the vote by which yester
day's resolution was adopted directing
that a reception be given, and that reso
lution was laid on the table.
The nature and merits of the trouble
between President Coleman and the trus
tees are unknown to the public. Here
tofore the students have been very loyal
to Coleman, who stood high In their es
timation. Both the president and mem
bers of the board are keeping the details
of the controversy quiet, and it Is there
fore possible that the student body acted
today upon insufficient Information. Fur
ther developments are expected.
BALANCED ON MOUNT -HOOD
Full Moon Plays Part in a Beautiful
Optical Illusion.
Perching itself for a few moments
on the very top of Mount Hood, the
big, new moon illumined .that majestic
peak at 11 o'clock last night so clearly
that Its mantle ot glistening white,
toned to a soft, yellow hue, could be
distinguished plainly from Portland
and vicinity. Never before, say old
time OregonianB, has the moon been
observed to scale the summit so fairly
and with such perfect balance as last
night. The big, yellow disk apparently
could not have been more accurately
adjusted to the top of the mountain.
And as It passed on upward the top
of the mellow circle buried Itself In
a big black cloud, bo that no great
stretch of the Imagination was re
quired to fill in- the picture of an erup
tion from the peaceful old mountain.
From an- artistic standpoint, the
spectacle was one to be hoarded In
the fond memory, and those who saw
It may regard themselves as having
been peculiarly fortunate. Every year
the moon pays a visit to the big peak,
but possibly not once In centuries
would It climb to the precise central
point on the summit and present a pic
ture so perfect.
