MAY COLLECT BID
City Expected to Act Against
United Railways.
COMPANY TO MAKE FIGHT
Kavanaugb Has Ruled That $100,.
O0O Is Forfeitable Council May
Pass Matter Up to Executive
Board for Action.
Preliminary step. , will be taken this
week by the city authorities to enforce
the collection of a bond for J100.000 from
the t'nlted Railway. Company. This bond
was glx-en by the railroad company to in
sure the construction of electric railway
lines between Portland. Salem and Hllls
boro. Falling to construct one of the
roads and not having; completed the other,
the company has been declared delinquent
by the City Council, which, on the ad
vice of City Attorney Kavanaugh, will un
dertake to collect on the bond.-
Followlns the failure of the United Rail
ways to live up to the conditions Imposed
under the bond, the instrument was re
ferred to Mr. Kavanaugh for an opinion.
That official held the instrument-was col
lecttble. It now appears to devolve on the
ame official to advise the members of
the Council whose duty It Is to undertake
the collection and In what manner to pro
ceed. Some of the members of the Coun
cil contend that the task of realizing on
the bond Is an executive and not a legis
lative duty and for that reason It Is up
to Mayor Lane and the Executive Board
to get the money. It Is the opinion of the
Mayor and the members of the Executive
Board that the responsibility rests with
the Council which carried on the negotia
tions with the Vnlted Railways and ac
cepted the bond which has been declared
forfeited.
The controversy as to which department
of the city government should make the
collection will in no way interfere with the
determination of the city to collect the
J10O.00O from the railway corporation. The
subject this week will be referred to Mr.
Kavanaugh. who will be asked to say
whether l Council or the Mayor and the
Executive Board should, institute the nec
essary action to collect the bond.
Undoubtedly litigation will have to b
resorted to if the city gets the money to
which It considers it Is entitled. The pres
ent backers of the United Railways, as a
defense, are contending that since the
bond was given, the corporation has
passed through the hands of a number of
different owners, while its attempted ef
forts to comply with the conditions of the
bond, all being In good fajth, have been
hampered by unfriendly interests. They
deny that there has been any wilful In
tent on their part to evade any of the
responsibilities their predecessors assumed
and declare that any attempt to force the
collection of a bond that has b?en de
clared forfeited on technical grounds
would seriously embarrass the corporation
in its construction of an. electric line to
Hillsboro. The building of this road is
now in active operation.

GAR GANG ARRESTED
Nine Hoodlums Captured on
Mount Scott Line.
HAD LONG BEEN NUISANCE
Youths Who Had Frequently In
sulted Women and Otherwise
Made Themselves Obnoxious,
Taken by Sheriff's Deputies.
Nine young hoodlums, who for mora
than a month have been making them
selves obnoxious late Saturday nights to
passengers on outward-bound Mount Scott
cars, even going to the extent of sitting
in the laps of women passengers and at
tempting to force them to drink whisky
and beer, were arrested early yesterday
morning and brought to Portland on a
special car. They were then locked up in
the County Jail, but were later released
without bail.
The youths were booked on a charge of
disturbing the peace, and their release
without bail was decided upon after con
sultation with Sheriff Stevens. The nine
will appear before Justice of the Peace
Bell this morning to answer for their con
duct. The members of the gang are as
follows: Fred Krausse, of Nashville; Guy
Hildreth, Nashville; M. V. Lockwood, Tre
mont; A. L. Lake, Laurelwood: C. Larln,
Arleta; Archie Mays, Arleta; C. E. Cle
ments. Millard-Avenue Station: John J.
Boland. Lents and H. J. Huffman, Arleta.
, Nine Deputies on Car.
To capture the boisterous gang, nine
Deputy Sheriffs were detailed to board the
last two-car train leaving Portland for
Lents at 12:30 -o'clock. General Superin
tendent Fields, of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, made a request
for a number of deputies. He said the
police had been detailed on the case Au
gust 1, but that, on account of their uni
forms, the hoodlums had been careful of
their conduct on that night. On the Sat
urday night following they had renewed
their obnoxious behavior.
Last Saturday night Deputy Sheriff
Martin boarded the trailer at Alder
,tm rvimitv Sheriff Sweenev at Sal
mon and First streets, and Deputy Sher
iff Boyer at Madison and First streets.
When the car reached East Twenty-ninth
street Deputy Sheriffs Beatty. Hunter,
Lillls and Schulpieus stepped aboard. Be
sides these. Deputies Leonard and Con
stable assisted in the round-up.
By the time the train reached Clark Sta
tion the hilarity of the youths had reached
a high pitch. The yelling could be heard
for blocks. Whisky and beer flowed free
ly. As there were but few passengers on
the trailer, and none of the gentler sex,
the hoodlums had things their own way
until the train stopped at Clark Station,
when nine deputies took the entire gang
in hand. They were held for the arrival
of a special car, sent to Portland from
the Milwaukie-carbarn.
Made Trouble for Months.
"We have had trouble with these hood
lums for two or three months." said Su
perintendent Fields last night. 'They
have been in the habit of taking the last
car out on Saturday nights, drinking whis
ky and swearing. The train crew was
entirely unable to handle them. Matters
went to such a point about two months
ago, that they had a pitched battle, in
which the conductor tried to put them off,
and was assisted by the motorman. The
car crew was unable to handle the row
dies and received some severe bruises.
"On one occasion the young fellows sat
in the laps of some of the women passen
gers, otherwise insulting them, and at
tempting to pour liquor down their
throats. When the women tried to defend
themselves and the conductor attempted
to Interfere, the hoodlums told him to
mind his own business and continued their
shameful conduct. From previous experi
ences he knew that it was useless to in
terfere. "We have also had a great deal of
trouble with the block lights on this divi
sion. In several Instances the glass was
broken. Of course we do not know
whether this is the gang that did It, but
such things are a source of danger to the
trains.
"It is but a short time since a railroad
tie, laid across the track, nearly caused a
wreck. As It was. the motorman saw the
obstruction in time to stop the car before
it had gone farther than to wedge the tie
under the pilot."
Not the least Interesting of the happen
ings In connection with the arrest was the
appeal of Fred Krausse to Deputy Sheriff
Boyer to let his friend Hildreth off.
Krausse offered to take the punishment
for both' himself and his young friend if
the latter might be let off. Krausse's
father Is a partner In the wholesale boot
and shoe firm of Krausse Brothers.
F. H. Herrick and N. A. Cornett are
conductor and motorman, respectively, on
the car on which the arrests took place.
