"FELT OUT"
Knight of Green Cloth Calls on
Simon at City Hall.
AMBITIOUS TO OPEN GAME
Gambler Told by Executive That
There Is No Chance for Man of
His Calling in Portland Ad
vised to Go to Seattle.
"Nothing doingr" is virtually what
Mayor b.mon told a representative of a
number of gamblers who called at the
executive office in the City Hall yes
terday morning and "felt out" the head
of the municipal government. While
the man's face -was familiar to the
Mayor, the latter having seen him about
the city at various times in the past,
his name was not . recalled and his
Identity Is therefore unknown, but the
turn-down he get was none the less
effective. Portland will not be a good
place for a business which once flour
ished here.
"1 want to see you Just a moment,"
aid the polished knight of the green
cloth as he entered the office of the
Mayor's private secretary!
"Walk in. sir. said the Mayor, who
happened to be waiting at the door,
after the conclusion of a conference
with several men.
"What wculd happen If I should rent
a little room somewhere and start a
quiet llttUt game;" was the query put
to tho Mayor by the aforesaid knight
of the green clotn.
"It would not run long." jyomptly re
plied the Mayor.
"Well. I don't mean that I want to
open a big gambling-house and run it
wide open." persisted the man, "I sim
ply want to run a small game 'on the
square.' in a quiet way."
"You cannot do so in Portland while
I am Mayor." said the executive firmly.
'Well, "they run quiet little games In
Seattle." said the man. "and I thought
maybe it would be permitted here."
"I was in Seattle myself last month,
replied Mayor Simon, "and I know that
It is a fine city: I advise you to go
there and run your little game; you
can't do it here."
"Thank you," said the man, smiling
ly, and he walked out.
It was thought by some that Mr.
Simon would "open the town a little"
when he became Mayor. Because It
was believed that he would overlook
"quiet lltlte games." a number of the
old-time gamblers have visited the city
from time to time.
STORK EXCUSEF0R SPEED
Fast Driver Discharged When He
Explains His Hurry.
There are Instances in Portland
where fast driving is permissible. At
least there is one Instance which formed
a precedent In Municipal Court yester
day morning when G. H. Spaff. of 340
Second street, was discharged after be
ing arrested by Patrolman Leavens
while driving faster than the law al
lows. Spa'f explained to Judge Ben
nett he had received news from home
that a visit was expected from the tra
ditional stork and was racing against
time. He won. too, despite the fact he
was delayed by the patrolman long
enough to post a $5 ball.
Ample evidence of the truthfulness
of his story, he said, cauld be obtained
by a visit to his home or from a cer
tain Portland physician.
"Congratulations,", said Judge Ben
nett as he wrote "discharged" opposite
Spaf f's name, while court attendants
laughed

VOTE ON QUESTION CLOSE
Several targe Property-owners 'Pro

They Will Derive No Ben
efit Therefrom.
Oak street, from West Park to Burn
sdde streets, -sill be opened, if the City
Council adopts the majority report of its
committee on streets, recommended yes
terday afternoon. However, two mem
bers of the five present dissented, and
a minority report will be submitted, as
suring a verbal battle when the matter
comes up again for final decision, Wed
nesday, August 25. ADOut 50.000 Is in
volved in the project, with 63 lots favor
ing or at least not remonstrating, and
19 lots opposed.
' The Council street committee held' a
special meeting yesterday afternoon, for
the express purpose of afTording an op
portunity for those concerned to be
heard, and a number appeared, both to
remonstrate against and to urge the
opening of the street. All were given
the privilege of the floor by Chairman
Annand. who gave them every chance to
present their views. After the matter
was left with the committee. Mr. Annand
was' called upon to decide it, as Council
men Belding and Kubli voted against and
Councllmen Wallace and Menefee voted
for opening tho street; Mr. Annand
voted to open it.
Among those who protested against the
opening and declared it an unnecessary
expense and annoyance to property
owners were C. K. Henry, Benjamin I.
Cohen, president of the Portland Trust
Company; C. V. DWph, Robert T. Piatt,
H. B. Linthicum, representing the Weln
hard estate, and others. They argued
that the assessments recommended by
the viewers are out of all proportion to
the benefit to be obtained, and also that
the whole project ia unnecessary, thei'e
being, they said. plenty of streets
already.
The Corbett estate, Isaac Swett and.
others urged the adoption of the view
ers" report, saying that the opening of
the street is essential to the growth of
the city and for the accommodation of
traffic.
"As far as I am concerned," declared
Mr. Henry, "I fail to eee where I derive
any benefit at all, although my assess
ment Is JS000. My property is near Sec
ond street and close to the river; if some
who maintain old shacks on Front, First
and Second streets would tear them
down and put up modern structures, it
would benefit my property more than
this proposed opening of Oak street."
"My company is assessed $1960," said
President Cohen, of the Portland Trust
Company, "but I will say frankly, with
out hesitation, . that personally I would
not give a J10 bill for the benefit I will
gil if the street is opened."
Several others, representing large prop
erty interests spoke likewise, and a few
who appeared urged the committee to
recommend to the Council the adoptlen
of the viewers' report, thus ordering the
street opened.

MAN DISCOVERS RARE COIN
Reads of Findings of Freak 18 47
$10 Piece, Has One in Pocket.
George Jackson, 408 Concord building,
reading in yesterday morning's paper an
Associated Press account of a man In
San Francisco who bad paid Into the
Police Court a $10 gold coin which
proved to be one of six freak pieces
coined in the year 1847, and valued by
collectors at $500, examined several coins
which he had in his own pocket, and dis
covered its duplicate.
The difference between the freak colhs
and others is that the words, "In God
We Trust" are omitted. This omis
sion was made by accident and six coins
escaped into circulation before the stop
order was received. These coins are now
sought eagerly by collectors. Jackson
does not remember from whom he
obtained the freak piece.
