NORTH EfiO GHAFT
WILL BE PROBED
Some Interesting Disclosures
Promised When the County
Grand Jury Meets.
BIG SENSATIONS IN STORE
District Attorney Cameron Plans
General Overhauling of Things
Where There Is Any Suspi
cion of Wrong-Doing.
There will be a general overhauling
of conditions throughout Portland
when the county grand jury gets into
action. The first Monday In September
Is the date upon which the Fall term
f the Circuit Court opens, and District
Attorney Cameron will start operations
with the grand Jury immediately
thereafter. A big batch of sensations
is in store, according to information
Obtained yesterday. '
Aside from the ordinary humdrum
nd routine of indicting a few murder
ers, risitlng the Tarljus public build
ings and going through the usuaJ evo
lutions of a grand Jury, the liveliest
kind of a time is predicted by those
who profess to know the facts. That
District Attorney Cameron wtll carry
efore the jury everything that he
knows of In relation to the affairs of
the city and county Is hi own state
ment. He said yesterday that he will
place before the members of the Jury
the ugly charges made about the North
End district, about which considerable
has been published.
The North End graft rumors alone, it
Is said, will create enough sensations
for a while to keep the public inter
ested, when the grand Jury delves Into
the eases. The rumors and publications
relating to this affair are to the effect
that there is an organized ring of men,
some of them more or less prominent,
which controls vice and reaps there
from a big revenue. It will be the
duty of the District Attorney and the
members of the grand jury to investi
gate these things, and to indict all
who may be found to have violated the
laws, if any such are discovered.
Will Ask About Petition to Mayor.
In this connection, it is ald that,
unless Mayor Lane and the Executive
Board take some action regarding the
recent petition of property-owners and
merchants in the North End district,
which seeks the removal' of the women
Inmates of disorderly houses and their
male companions, the grand Jury will
seek the reason. The petition has been
in the hands of the city officials now
for six weeks, but nothing has been
done regarding it thus far. It was re
ferred to Mayor Lane and the police
committee of the Executive Board, and
it is for them to report upon.
District Attorney Cameron is very
reticent as to what matters he will lay
before the grand Jury for investiga
tion, but he made the significant state
' ment yesterday that everything in the
city about which there have been ru
mors of violation "of law. or that may
later be found to need attention, will
be Investigated. He eaid: "The power
of the grand Jury is almost unlimited.
Its seven members can investigate any
thing they wish to investigate, with or
without the suggestion or advice of the
District Attorney. I. will lay before
the grand Jury some matters that have
been brought to my attention, but it
would be improper, it seems to me, to
state at this time what thee are. The
affairs of the city and county will be
carefully looked Into."
"Will the North End graft charges
be probed?" was asked.
"Yes, they will be investigated," wa
the reply.
Rumors About Gambling.
It is said there is a great deal of
gambling in progress in Portland at
this time, which is being conducted
without police interference, and Dis
trict Attorney Cameron acknowledged
that he had been informed there iseuch
a state of affairs,
"I have heard there Is gambling, and
as a matter of course, will ask an In
vestigation at the hands of the grand
jury on that point," said District At
torney Cameron.
It is known that rumors of a sensa
tional nature have reached the ears, of
the District Attorney, on many matters
that will prove of great public Inter
est, and it is thought that the first ses
sion of the grand Jury under the new
law will prove to be one long to be, re
membered. . It Is said to be a fact that
a good many men are quite anxious
over the prospects, and are wondering
what will be the outcome.
Much information will be desired by
the members of the grand Jury on the
various matters to be investigated, and
many subpenas will be be Issued, Those
who have proclaimed against the mor
als of the city or who have made
charges against the administration will
undoubtedly be invited to furnish the
grand Jury with all possible informa
tion on the subject. Among these will
probably be Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougber.
minister of the White Temple, who re
cently declared that conditions in the
North End district are very bad.
MORE STABLES FDR TRACK
ASSOCIATIOX VOTES UPOS AD
DITIONS TO PADDOCK.
Railway Company Will Extend Loop
and Have Double Line of'
Service to Grounds.
At yesterday afternoon's meeting, the
directors of the Country Club and Live
stock Association voted to erect two more
racing stables with a capacity of 100
horses. This move was necessary from
the fact that the eight barns already
completed will accommodate but 160
horses, while 2T0 have been entered in the
early and late closing events up to date.
The two buildings ordered will be larger
than any of those already constructed
and it is expected that 300 speeders can
be accommodated In case the entries in
the events of the six days' meet will re
quire It.
Authorization for a paddock with 25
stables was also made, this building to
take care of the contenders in the dif
ferent racing events between heats. The
Judges' stand was ordered. It will be
one of the most complete and welt
equipped in the West and will be modeled
after the latest designs of the grand cir
cuit courses.
Tie directors also voted to erect open.j
bleachers adjoining the steel and concrete
grandstand to seat 8oOO people. Work
upon this will be begun before the end of
the present week. With the grandstand,
which has a seating capacity of more
than 3000. and the bleachers, the Country
Club will be able to furnish the best of
conveniences for no fewer than 11,000
people. This will not include the thous
ands tha will view the races from the
center field, nor those who will drive
out in automobiles or other, coneyancea,
adequate arrangements for which are be
ing made inside the mile oval.
It was further decided that the Associa
tion should undertake the expense of
opening up at least two streets from
West Avenue to the entrance of the
Country Club tract to accommodate
pleasure vehicles.
Announcement was made that the Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company
has arranged to extend a- loop from the
Rose City Park line covering Coleman
avenue. Braxee street. Marine Avenue
and Stanton street. A franchise has al
ready been granted by the City Council
for the laying of the temporary tracks
on these thoroughfares, which, in connec
tion with the lengthening of switches and
the equipment of a double trolley system,
will give almost a double-track service.
The transportation committee reported
that if necessary it could be arranged so
that temporary tracks could be laid from
the Montavllla line, which Is already double-tracked,
-over West avenue to the
west entrance of the club grounds.
Contracts for painting the 12 show
barns, the 10 racing stables, the paddock,
the 8000 feet of fence, and the Judges'
stand. 25 structures all told will be let
this week.
The contracting firm which Is building
the one-mile race course reported that it
would be completed by a week from to
morrow, and Superintendent Brooker
vouched for It that it would be as speedy
a course as there is on the Pacific Coast
Although nearly a dozen applications
are on file from racing stables of the
Northwest to use the track for warming
up their racers, these requests have all
been refused. It was decided yesterday
that not a hoof-beat would be allowed on
the track until, the warming-up heats for
the race meet.
No action was taken on the 160 con
cession applications on file with the gen
eral management committee. These mat
ters will be held over for several weeks
until the more Important preliminaries
have been adjusted.
WILL ENTERTAIN ATHLETES
TWO CHICAGO CLUBS FLAX TO
HONOR OREGOXIAXS.
Gilbert Dodges Reception and Comes
on West Ahead of His
Fellows.
The Illinois Athletic Club and the
Chicago Athletic Club, of Chicago, have
responded to the letters sent out by
Director E. E. Morgan, of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, in which
the announcement of Oregon's Inten
tion to celebrate the victories of
Forrest C. Smlthson, Dan J. Kelly and
Alfred C. Gilbert is made, and each of
the organizations requests the privilege
of entertaining the Oregop athletes.
With Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and
Salt Lake City in line, four of the
eight towns where stops en route home
had been planned for the boys, have
been heard from. Those yet to respond
are Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo and
Kansas City, and replies - from those
places are expected very shortly.
According to a telegram from New
York received by The Oregonian yes
terday, Alfred C. Gilbert succeeded In
dodging the New York clubmen and
took the first train out of that city for
his home. This means that only two
of the Oregon athletes will come West
with the reception committee, but. as
Gilbert is coming directly home, his
presence at the big celebration in Port
land can easily be secured. Cupid
plays a conspicuous part in the hur
ried home-coming of Gilbert, for the
world's champion pole vaulter is to be
married shortly after his arrival. The
bride-to-be is Miss Mary Thompson, a
former schoolmate of Gilbert's and one
of the most charming daughters of
Seattle.

MRS. ZENAIDE
ing the marriage, and both are said to
have been in Portland yesterday. Neither,
however, could be found.
Despite the gloom and worry immedi
ately following the abrupt termination of
the wedding proceedings yesterday after
noon, there were only emiles at the din
ner last night. The prospective bride
groom was In the beet of humor, but
grew wrathful at the slightest mention of
the balking of his plans.
The prospective bride was gowned in
white. She also was wreathed in smiles,
and excepting the humiliation and morti
fication to which she was subjected by
the arrest of the man she was to have
married, she likewise enjoyed a happy
mood. She refused to speak against the
old man's eons, but expressed her anger
at the means they employed.
The culmination of the love affairs of
the wealthy Salem merchant and the
Portland matron will be watched with
Interest. His sons declare that the wed
ding ceremony will never' be performed.
The prospective groom is emphatic in
the contrary.
Aged Lover Determined.
"As well try to stop the Willamette in
Its course as try to keep me from marry
ing whom I please," he said. "I will be
married and that tomorrow. I have al
ready engaged two attorneys who will
secure my release in the morning and
then the ceremony will be performed.
It's my business whom I shall marry and
whether or not I shall marry."
At the conclusion of the dinner the
wealthy prisoner was conducted to the
County Jail and the bride-to-be was ac
companied by friends to her residence
on Hancock street. Mr. Meyers was not
In the least dlsturoed, and assured his
bride-to-be that everything would be all
right tomorrow.
"They say I'm crasy." he said while In
the Jail, "and they put me In jail, the
first time in my life, by the way, and
now eee who gets the worst of it. It's
merely a case of dollars. My sons think
that I am going to lose my money by my
marriage. Just let them leave that to
me, and I will also have a say In how it
Is disposed of."
Sons Upbraid Aged Man.
Mr. Meyers came to Portland Friday
and arrangements for the wedding are
said to have been made at that time..
He returned to Salem Saturday night
and. he says, was severely upbraided
and denounced by his sons for his con
templated action. .
He returned Sunday and yesterday
arrangements were made with Dr. J.
Whltcomb Brougher to perform the
ceremony In his study. He waited at
the designated place, but the couple
failed to appear.
Mr. Meyers went to the clerk's office
In the Courthouse to secure a license
at 2 o'clock. But the warrant of arrest
had been placed In the hands of the
Sheriff early- in the day and he had
notified the clerks In the County
Clerk's office to refuse the license and
notify htm when the aged man ap
peared. Detectives are said to have been
employed for several days in tracing
the movements of the aged merchant
and only a few moments before his ar
rival at the Courthouse a private de
tective rushed breathless into the
clerk's office and informed the Sheriff
of his approach. He offered no opposi
tion when arrested, and showed resent
ment only against his sons.
Mrs. Du Rette has lived in Portland
for the past year. She resides with
her son at 213 Hancock street, and ar
rangements to leave the house had
been completed. She is a widow and
formerly lived in Salem.
Mrs. Da Rette Feels Humiliation.
"The humiliation and mortification of
such proceedings are almost unbeara
ble," she said. 'I have known Mr.
Meyers for a number of years and
know him to be an honorable man. I
dont know what his sons could mean
by any such proceedings for he is as
sane as anyone. I scarcely know what
to do and do not know what to say. I
have never been a party to any news
paper notoriety and wish I could avoid
it.
"Mr. Meyers asked me to go to dinner.

with him at the Portland this evening
and I am going. He telephoned me
that he would meet me there and I
want to be with him." '
She Is a modest and rather stylish
woman in appearance, and is perhaps
45 years of age. When her boh se
cured employment In this city a year
ago she followed him and established
a residence here.
Groom-to -Be Discusses Affair.
Mr. Meyers, In the parlor of the jail
yesterday afternoon, talked freely ot
the affair. He was averse to the no
toriety, but declared he had done noth
ing which could not stand publicity.
He Is the father of six sons and for
years has been one of the most promi
nent merchants in the state.
"I have known Mrs. Du Rette for
more than 10 years," he said, "and re
serve the right to marry if I want to,
and to marry whomsoever I please. My
sons nor any one else has no right to
Interfere, and they certainly have no
right to say I am crazy. I am as Bane
as I ever was and propose to be mar
ried tomorrow.
"When I went home Saturday night
my sons upbraided me outragiously,
and told me that if I was married to
Mrs. Du Rette, they hoped both she
and I would drop dead."
Attorneys Dan Malarky and George
W. Caldwell have been retained in be
half of Mr. Meyers. They will likely
institute, habeas corpus proceedings
this morning to obtain his release.
"Outrage," Says Malarkey.
"We will use every endeavor to secure
Mr. Meyers' release tomorrow," said
Dan J. Malarkey last night. "It was
an outrage to throw him in Jail.
"Mrs. Du Rette is a highly respected
citizen of Portland and has known Mr.
Meyers for the past ten years. She
has no mercenary motives, and in proof
of this he and she went before an at
torney this morning and had a settle
ment. He gave her a note for J10.000.
payable at the time of his death, with
out interest and without security. She
was willing to abide by the agreement,
which certainly shows that she was not
actuated by any mercenary motives. Mr.
Meyers. I have been told, is worth prob
ably $200,000, apd a settlement like that
Is certainly not unfair to his children."
