Mayor Lane stilted in an inttrview yesterday that his policy of closing up all disorderly houses throughout the city has proved a success, and that it has been vigorously executed by the police deportment under Chief Gritz niacher. This policy will continue in force as long as the Mayor occupies the position of executive, he declared. His statement was occasioned by a ru mor to the effect that the policy is being abandoned. Yesterday morning Chief Grltzmacher detached two officers from the plain clothes staff and transferred them to the first night relief, as patrolmen. This gave rise to the rumor that the policy, of the Mayor to keep a strict watch on women who were formerly Inmates of disorderly houses was being gradually abandoned, and that, in time, the houses will reopen, and that things will run along as before the Mayor issued his closing order, some three months ago. "There is no truth In the statement that I have decided to abandon my policy regarding the North End dis trict." said Mayor Lane. "From re ports made to me by Chief Grltz macher. the policy has worked out successfully; there is not a house of ill fame in Portland that any of the policemen can find; they have all been closed, and they are to remain closed so long as I occupy my present posi tion, at least. I have no Informaiion about the transfer of two officers from the so-called moral squad, Jiut If they weer. I have e,very reason to believe it was done because the Chief did not need as many men to keep tab on the North End and simply put them to work where they were needed." Mayor Lane decided to close houses of 111 fame when a petition, signed by North-End business men, was sent to himself and the City Council. He first sent a communication to the Council, stating that it would require ten ad ditional policemen to enforce the law. Intimating that if the Council would provide salaries for that number, he wotild act. For a time, the matter went along without any definite action, but the Mayor at last asked for the extra detail, and the Council complied. The order closing all disorderly houses was then Issued.

Court Upholds Right to Spoon in Park KiMMlnc nt Illegal Just So Its Dark nnd There Is Nobodv Around, De cides Judge St-ubro4k. IX the case of the city versus spoony young couples, victory went to the vic tims of cupld. In the Municipal Court, yesterday forenoon, when Acting Judge Seabrook decided that couples visiting the park blocks are not required to follow pre scribed' rules of parlor etiquette. Lawrence G. .King and Miss Maud G. Mason were the defendants In the case. They were arrested several . nights ago by Patrolman Peterson for osculating in public at the Plaza block. It seems that there are so many people about at the Mason home that they had to go to the park block in order to escape prying young brothers and sisters, not to men tion an inquisitive mother. It was about 11 o'clock when the offi cer saw them sitting on public bench. It occurred to him that they were sitting too close together. Notwithstanding that he but recently completed a successful courtship by getting married. Peterson had no feeling or sympathy for the de voted couple and stationing himself in the shadows watched them for some time. Presently he placed them under arrest for 'making a public exhibition of them selves." But the testimony of yesterday's pro ceedings revealed that the night was dark, that few people were about and that being observed only by the police man they were not misbehaving in public. Mr. Seabrook questioned, too, the allega tion that osculation constitutes misbe havior, even when conducted publicly. It may not be authorized by etiquette or by good taste, but as to constituting improper conduct, the court was Inclined to dis agree with Peterson. The couple was promptly dismissed. Both are of age and work. The girl is Spanish and the man half Japanese, and half Spanish. Peterson admitted that the real reason for the arrest was his be lief that the man was a Japanese. As a result of the outcome of this case it is not unlikely that the police will attempt any further interference with young peo ple In the park blocks so long as the hour of their appearance Is seasonable.
