ICEE TELLS OF
DEAL FOR CLAIM
Government's Chief Witness
Says He Sold Land to
Lumber Company.
PAID $50 BY J. H. BOOTH
Documents Arc . Also Introduced by
Prosecution to Show That Re
ceiver Took Precautions to See
That Agee Got Land.
1. Thomas Agee, principal witness for
the Government In the Booth-Singleton
conspiracy case, yesterday testified that
In 1900 he made an aKteement to sell his
lieu land selection to the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company for J3H0- The witness
said the agreement was made with Thom
as E. Singleton and that the first pay
ment of . on the consideration was rjfid
by James Henry Booth at the Roseburg
Land Office when Booth was the Re
ceiver A see had told only in part his
version of the alleged conspiracy when
court adjourned. His examination will be
resumed i.y 1'nited States Attorney Mc
Court this morning.
Agtt Is not a brilliant witness, having
a decidedly poor memory. In his testi
mony he Is quite uncertain as to exact
dates, prefacing his statements Invari
ably with "I think." He certainly does
not give evidence of any coaching lie may
have received since reaching Portland
,tvo weeks ago, since which time he has
been attended daily by a special deputy
marshal. If he has been primed for the
case, he very effectively disguises the
fact while on the witness stand. He is
slow in responding to questions and it is
only by the most patient work on the part
of the District Attorney that the story is
drawn out of the witness. Agee is 50
years of age and has resided all of his
life In Douglas County.
Offered $300 for Claim.
It was admitted by Agee that from
191 to 1R97 he resided at Oak Creek. Doug
las County, which he claimed as his resi
dence. He told of making a trip to east
ern Douglas County in the Fall of 1892,
accompanied by Charles Stearns and
"Pug" Atterbury and of locating on his
homestead the following June. Between
lf3 and 1KW, Agee said he visited the
claim not to exceed four times and during
the year 1S95 rented a farm at Oak
Creek.
"In the Spring of 1900," testified the wit
ness, "I saw Singleton in Garden Valley.
He wanted to know what I would take
for my homestead but I told hlra I did
not know that I wanted to sell it. Then
Singleton said: 'Bob,' meaning Robert A.
Booth, "will give you t3f for the land."
I agreed to accept the offer and Single
ton said he would see the Booth boys
about it.
"Not long afterwards I met Singleton
who told me to go to town and Henry
Booth would give me $50 on the place. A
few days later I went to Roseburg and
called on Henry Booth at the Land Office.
1 asked him how he was fixed for money
and he replied that he guessed he had
some. I then told him that Singleton had
told me to call on him and he would give
nie $50. Henry then gave me that sum.'
Protest Admission of Letters.
Over the objections of counsel for the
defense. Judge Wolverton yesterday ad
mitted as evidence for the prosecution
several letters from the official letter
press copy book of the Roseburg Land
Office. The purpose of the letters was to
show that ex-Register Bridges was in
Roseburg on December 7. 1900. when
Agee'g lieu lnnd application was made
out by James Henry Booth, although the
PPer .-omainea a notation tnat Bridges I
no Bimriii ui.iii me iiiv at me time.
and furthermore that Bridges did not ap
ply for leave of absence until December.
The prosecution declared further that it
would be shown by the . letters that If
the Agee lieu land application papers had
been forwarded to Washington on Decem
ber 7 they would have reached the General
Land Office not later than December 12,
whsreas they were not received there un
til December 17. Allowing the customary
time of five and a half days tor trans
mitting mall from Roseburg to Washing
ton, the Government inferred that the pa
pers in the Agee application did not
leave Roseburg before December 12, or
five days subsequent to the date of the
letter. In the meantime, contended the
Government, one of the letters, dated
December 10. from James Henry Booth,
as Receiver, to an applicant for the same
land, advised the applicant that the land
already had been filed on.
The real purpose of offering these let
ters In evidence. It was admitted by the
Government's prosecutors, was to support
ine contention ot tne prosecution that
Booth had a criminal intent and was pro
ceeding in a manner that would insure
Agee's getting the land so that he could
convey the land subsequently to the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company in com
pliance with the alleged conspiracy.
Contention f Defense.
Mr. Malarkey and Judge Webster, for
the defense, contended that the letters
had reference to the selected lieu land
while the indictment charged that fraud
had been committed in the entry, settle
ment and Improvement of the reservation
land. For that reason they challenged
the relevancy of the evidence.
In overruling the objection. Judge Wol
verton held that the scope of the indict
ment included all transactions affecting
the transfer of Agee's homestead for a
lieu land selection. Since the letters were
Included In the official records of the
Land Office and related to the alleged
fraudulent transactions on which the in
dictment was based, the court ruled that
they were relevant and admissible.
i i. F. Woods, of Forest Grove, was
called during the afternoon and testified
aj to publishing In the Springfield News
notice of final, proof by Agee of his
claim. Mr. Woods said he received the
money for the advertisement in a check
from James Henry Booth, Receiver of the
Roseburg Land Office. On cross-examination,
however, he explained that this
customary and not to be construed
a suspicious circumstance. Mr. Woods
said that it invariably was the practice
of the entrymen to leave with the Re
ceiver of the Land Office the fee for pub
lishing their final proof notice and that
the money was always remitted by that
official to the publisher upon receipt of
proof of publication.

SALOONS WIN FIGHT
Measure Excluding Women Is
Lost in Council.
DEFEATED BY AMENDMENTS
Heated Controversy Precedes Vote
on Measure and Also Ordinance
Raising License of Grills,
Which Is Referred.
Word battles, charges and counter
charges and a tremendous amount of
Councllmantc speech-making character
ized the proceedings In the City Council
yesterday afternoon, when the members
were considering ordinances increasing
the annual license fee of cafes and res
taurants where liquor is sold, an,d one
aimed to keep women from entering sa
loons. The net result was nothing, as
neither measure was passed. The first
measure was referred to the liquor license
committee and the other was defeated.
after one of the most remarkable series
of parliamentary skirmishes on record.
An attempt to add amendments of the
most drastic nature "killed" the ordin
ance, which was fathered by Councilman
Driscoll and which was drafted by City
Attorney Kavanaugh. Councilman Kella
her. who said he favors keeping women
from saloons, but whose intentions were
openly challenged by Councilman Cellars
and Menefee. endeavored to have an
amendment tacked onto the original mea
sure that would, if passed, prohibit wo
men from entering saloons, hotels or res
taurants where liquor is served. This
was so drastic that it called forth open
denunciation from Mr. Menefee and Mr.
Cellars, both of whom arose and declared
that, in their opinion. Mr. Kellaher offered
this amendment for the purpose of mak
ing the measure so obnoxious that its en
forcement would be impossible. Mr. Kel
laher most emphatically t denied the al
legation. Bennett Also Wants Change.
Councilman Bennett offered an amend
ment, the terms of which would prohibit
any screens or obstacle in any dining
room, but he could not. with the present
disorganization of the majority faction,
secure Its adoption, and finally abandoned
his effort. The kellaher amendment car
ried, and when the final vote was taken,
the celebrated "women in saloons" ordin
ance suffered an ignominious defeat. It
is now "dead." and it is most difficult to
predict what, if any, future action will
be taken.
The Council spent one hour with the or
dinance. Several attempts were made to
adjourn, but failed by one vote. Amend
ments galore were offered, only to be de
feated and others substituted. While all
of the members of the Council spoke
loudly in favor of moral reform along the
lines suggested In the Driscoll ordinance,
and although drastic amendments were
proposed, it is known that the retail
liquor dealers, backed by the brewers,
were opposed to the proposed ordinance.
Relative to the proposed ordinance, cal
culated to increase from J300 to J800 an
nually the license of restaurants and
cafes wherein liquor is served, the Coun
cilmen were also divided and, after
squabbling over its terms and 'proposing
some amendments, referred it back ' to
the llquor-llcense committee for further
consideration. This is a case which in
volves the hotel and restaurant inter
ests, as against the liquor dealers.
Councilman Baker was the first 'to at
tack the proposed ordinance increasing
the license and expressed the belief that
it simply was aimed at certain small res
taurants and hotels, and in the interest
of larger . establishments. Councilman
Vaughn championed it and Mr. Baker,
in a characteristic speech, said it was a
grandstand play on the part or some
Councilmen, to get their names in the
newspapers." He said that these Coun
cilmen, at every session, seemed to think
they must in some way attack -the sa
loons, or make it appear that they were
going to start some big reform. "Just
as a b& grandstand play." Mr. Vaughn
replied, saying he spoke from honest mo
tives and a sincere desire to protect in
nocent young women who, he said, much
more frequently meet ruin in hotels than
anywhere eb?e. He said he would re
frain from any "grandstand plays," and
leave that for others.
Councilman Beldlng spoke In favor of
the ordinance, as he said he knew the
i restaurants, cafes and hotels where
liquors were served, are the real start
ing places for the ruination of young
women. He especially charged this as
being true in the case of Chinese res
taurants. He declared these establish
ments should have no licenses.
Councilman Cellars here made the fol
lowing suggestion: "I think there Is a
way to solve this matter. We have four
old detectives who are not working, al
though the city is paying them. They
should be set at work to investigate con
ditions and report to us. They would
mighty soon find out some things."
Mayor Has Ready Retort.
"A very poor suggestion, gentlemen,
if you'll allow me," spoke up Mayor
Lane. "Those old detectives never would
find out anything for you."
Mr- Baker charged, during another
speech, that the ordinance then under
discussion was, as he firmly believed,
introduced to "sidetrack the ordinance
which is to prohibit women from enter
ing saloons," and intimated that Mr.
Driscoll, author of the "women" meas
ure, had experienced a change of heart
and wished to see the original ordinance
defeated by this newer one. Mr. Dris
coll replied by saying that he stood ready
to vote for the passage of both ordi
nances. The Council was so disorganized yes
terday, owing to Mr. Driscoll's desertion
of the "solid ten," that it could not de
cide anything definitely and wound up on
these two measures in a very unsatis
factory manner.
RUSHLIGHT HEADS COUNCIL
MEMBER OF MIXOR1T1T FACTION
CHOSEX PRESIDENT.
Election Something of Surprise, but
East Side Man Is Given Ova
tion by Colleagues.
A. G. Rushlight, Councilman from the
Seventh Ward, was elected President of
the City Council at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and his ascension to that posi
tion is the greatest victory for the minor
ity faction ever recorded. He succeeds
A. N. Wills, whose term expired. Im
mediately' after his election, his col
leagues demanded a speech from him, and
A. G. Ru-thllght, Elected Presi
V
dent of Council.
simultaneously Mayor Lane yielded the
chair and gave way to the new president
In a brief and carefully-worded speech
President Rushlight declared that his
policy, when presiding, would be to treat
all with strict impartiality.. He said
that, as president of the Council, he
would expect and demand from each
member compliance with parliamentary
rules and said he hoped each would assist
in transacting th6 business with dignity
and with the one purpose of serving the
city to the best advantage. He was loudly
cheered.
Mayor Lane, whose close personal
friendship for President Rushlight is
well known at the" City Hall, bade the
new president continue in the chair, and
Mr. Rushlight wielded the gavel from the
time of his election to 6 o'clock, during
one of the most turbulent sessions of the
Council. The Councilmen, Mayor Lane
and many friends took occasion, at the
close of the meeting, to congratulate Mr.
Rushlight on the manner in which he
conducted the business while in the chair.
Mr. Rushlight is serving his second term
In tne Council, and is recognized as one
of the most fearless and progressive
members.
With Mr. Rushlight as President of the
Council, and with Councilman Driscoll
voting with the minority faction since his
desertion from the "solid ten," the situa
tion is so changed that it leaves the ma
jority faction practically powerless. How
ever, it is understood that there Is a dis
position on the part of all the members,
and the Mayor included, to "bury the
hatchet," and get down to business.
The election of Mr. Rushlight was in the
nature of a coup, and was a big surprise
to some of the members of the majority
party. ..The charter requires he election
of a president of the Council at this time
each year. This had been overlooked by
some, and at 2:30 o'clock Councilman Kel
laher suddenly moved that the Council
proceed to elect. Councilman Annand,
leader of the majority, moved to take a
recess of 10 minutes, but the disorganiza
tion of his faction was so complete that
the motion was lost, and the election fol
lowed. Mr. Rushlight secured eight votes;
Councilman Bennett two votes, and Coun
cilmen Dunning, Vaughn and Menefee one
vote each.
COXRAD BOBS UP OXCE MORE
Supposed to Be Behind Board of
Trade Saloon Application.
After a long fight, in which many
of the members of the City Council be
came embroiled to the extent of hurl
ing abuse at each other and accusing
each other at times of various offenses
and bad Intentions, the application for
a transfer of the license ot the saloon
conducted by E. H. Spranger to F. X. A.
Bouthellier was referred to the liquor
license committee. . It was sought by
the applicant to secure the license for
the operation of a saloon soon to be
opened In the Board of Trade building.
The charge that John Conrad, of Pull
man Cafe notoriety, is behind the new
establishment brought about the bitter
fight and final action.
Councilman Wills, among those who
signed - the application, said publicly
he did not know Conrad was connected
with the new place, and wished to ex
punge hls name from the document,
but City Attorney Kavanaugh advised
against this, saying the record should
stand. Councilman Kellaher, who did
not sign the application, sarcastically
asked Mr. Wills if it was dark in the
room when Mr. Wills signed the paper.
The whole fight was more a rebuke
to Councilman Driscoll than anything
else. It is said, as Driscoll has de
serted the so-called "solid ten" faction,
because they failed to support him in
his attempt to keep alive the Pullman
Cafe license and openly championed
the cause of John Conrad.
Councilman Belding exposed the al
leged connection of Conrad with the
Board of Trade saloon, and said he had
found It to be "a pretty shady propo
sition." Councilman Cellars arraigned
the police for their failure to furnish
the Council with sufficient evidence to
revoke some saloon licenses, especially
some in the North End, where, he de
clared. not only do disreputable women
frequent, but their male companions
also, attired in fine raiment and costly
gems. loiter without mterlerence.
Councilman Baker replied, declaring
that the police, four months ago, did
present enough evidence, but the Coun
cil would not revoke.
During the general debate, which
waxed very warm. Councilman Baker
said he voted for the Pullman Cafe li
cense on the previous occasion at the
special request of Mr. Driscoll, who was
then a member of the "solid ten." but
that he would not do so again. Mr.
Driscoll said he would believe a state
ment made by Conrad in preference to
"some Councilmen.
By the adoption of a report of the
committee on Judiciary, the City Coun
cil vesterday afternoon smothered the
ordinance proposed just before the last
electton by the liquor dealers, fixing
districts on both sides of the river for
saloons. The Councilmen deemed it an
unwise measure, and therefore refused
to pass it.

BATHS NEJUISEWEHS
Location of Public Swimming
Tank Causes Trouble.
APPROPRIATION IS BEATEN
Council Rejects Bill Carrying $1000
After Revelations by Mr. Kella-
her Health Officer to
Investigate.
A public scandal may develop over the
swimming baths, recently taken In charge
by the city, as it is said by Councilman
Kellaher and other citizens that the
establishment has been located where
many small sewers empty into the Wil
lamette River. The City Health Officer
will probably rigidly investigate this
matter today. An effort to pass an or
dinance appropriating 31000 out of the
City Park fund, to further fit up the
bathing-house, was defeated yesterday
afternoon in the Council.
"I object to the passage of this ordin
ance at this time, said Councilman Kel
laher, when the measure came up for
final passage on the first introduction be
fore the Council. "When this bath-house
was taken over by the city. It was with
the understanding that it was to cost
nothing for its equipment or operation.
We have already passed an ordinance ap
propriating 3500 for use in fitting it up
and now comes one more, seeking 31000.
will not vote for this, at least until
have had time to Investigate. I think the
Park Board has made a bad mistake in
Its selection of a location for the baths,
and it may make just as big a mistake in
spending 31500. I want to know where
this money is going before I vote for the
appropriation."
IiV view of the fact that Councilman
Kellaher is a strong supporter of Mayor
Lane, and that the latter made a per
sonal plea for the passage of the ordln
ance. Mr. Kellaher's statements have
great significance. Councilman Belding
told Mr. Kellaher that the latter's objec
tion to the passage of the appropriation
ordinance "is a mighty small piece of
business." and a strong effort was made
by many members of the Council who
favored the ordinance, but Mr. Kellaher
refused to submit.
When the baths were turned over to the
city It was understood by Mayor Lane
and the members of the City Council that
there was no Indebtedness and that no
expense would be Incurred in the opera
tion. However, when the establishment
was formally taken over, it was found
that it was in poor condition, and 3500
was spent on repairs before it was
opened. It is still in bad shape, and 31000
additional is required, according to Mayor
Lane, Parkkeeper Mische and members of
the Park Board.
The location for the baths was selected
by Parkkeeper Mische and Captain Speler.
harbormaster. It is said that several
sewers have an outlet In the immediate
vicinity, making it a most unclean spot
for bathing purposes.
ARMY OFFICER IS DINED
Brigadier-General Brush Enter-
' tained at Arlington Club.
A dinner was given at the Arlington
club last night complimentary to
Brigadier-General Daniel F. Brush,
commandant of the Department of the
Columbia.
The guest ot honor and his staff
were dined by some 50 members of
the club. Ex-Senator Gearin, presi
dent of the club, acted as toastmaster
and made a graceful speech of wel
come to General Brush and his officers,
expressing a desire for a closer asso
ciation between the citizens of Port
land and the Army men stationed at
Vancouver Barracks. General Brush
made a happy reply and a number of
other informal talks were made.
The distinguished soldier and the
members of his staff made a splendid
impression and as a result of the din
ner the relations between the promi
nent Portlanders who were present and
the Army officers will be much closer.

LAND CASES ARE DELAYED
Xo More Trials Will Be Begun Until
September 28.
When the Booth-Singleton conspiracy
case has been ended, the land-fraud pros
ecutions in this state will again be sus-
oended until September 28. Judge Wol
verton had arranged to hear argument
this month on demurrers In the cases in
which George Waggoner and Rufus S.
Moore were Indicted for alleged conspir
acy In connection with Government sur
vevinr contracts In this state. But, fol
lowing a conference between Tracy
Becker, representing the Government, and
Dan J. Malarkey and Judge weoster, wn
anoear for the defendants, it was an
nounced yesterday that these cases would
be continued until September 28.
At the same time, Judge Wolverton In
structed Clerk Marsh to notify all of the
Jurors, aside from those serving In the
case on trial, that they would be dis
missed for the term. When the case
now on trial is over, it is expected the
usual Summer vacation, extending
throush the month of August, will be de
clared. It Is suspected that with the
termination of the Booth conspiracy case,
Mr. Becker will cause to be dismissed sev
eral of the minor land-fraud indictments
that have been dragging along In th
court for over three years. It Is also
possible a definite date may be fixel,for
the retrial of the J. N. Williamson case
and the long-promised trial of Binger
