Mayor, Judge Webster ind Commis
sioners to Confer Today on
Change Police Headquarters
to More to New Building.
It Is definitely announce by County
Judge Webster and Mayor Simon that the
City Jail. Municipal Court, police head
quarter. Justice Courts and Constables"
offices will be moved Into the new county
Courthouse when the building is complet
ed. Plans to this effect, made by the
architects. Whldden A Lewis, have been
approved by the various heads of depart
ments anrl are to be ratified tomorrow at
a conference to be attended by Judge
Webster, the County Commissioners and
Mayor Simon.
The only, subject to be decided is the
financing of the move, as the city will
have to pay a certain amount of rent to
the county for the use of the quarters.
This is said to be a minor matter by all
concerned, aa 9 per cent of the taxpayers
in Multnomah County are taxpayers in
Portland and It makes no difference to
which fund the money is placed. On the
whole, the move will. It Is said, save a
large amount of money now lost by the
maintenance of two separate establish
ments. Mayor Simon said yesterday:
"Yes. the change will be made and the
City Jail and police headquarters will be
moved. Now it is only a matter of rou
tine. The plans. I understand, have been
approved and it Is only a matter of
financing the change. That will be easy,
as Multnomah County and Portland have
almost the same taxpayers. It will make
little difference in the long run how much
money the city will have to pay the
county In rents: that is simply taking
money from one pocket and putting it
Into another."
Judge Webster said:
"It will possibly be a matter of a year
and a half before the police department
can be permanently housed In the Court
house. The work will go a little slow on
account of not building the Courthouse
ail at once, but the six stories on the
Fourth-street side will be finished some
time next year, and that will Just about
accommodate the county In fact, will
hardly do even that. Then the following
year some time, early perhaps, the Fifth
street side will be finished, and final move
can be made then. It Is a good plan and
will save a lot of money to the city as
well as to the county, as heretofore we
have been keeping up two establishments.
It Is only a question of time before Port
land and Multnomah County will be one
and the same and It is to this that we are
looking forward. There Is absolutely no
doubt that the change will be made. The
arrangements have all been completed,
and now It is only a matter of getting
the routine work done."
Chief of Police Cox Is highly pleased
with the plana as submitted by the archi
tects. "While the plans are possibly not Just
what we should have had If we had had a
building built especially for our own use."
said the Chief, "they are fine and will
give us all the room we will need for
years to eonie. and will give us a chance
to do better work. The new quarters are
designed, not for the Portland of today,
but for the Portland of several years
from now: In fact, for the Portland of 10
or 13 years hence. At first we will have
more room than absolutely necessary, but
this will soon be taken up by the growth
of the city and of the police department."
The plans prepared give police head
quarters about two-thirds of the first floor
and large room In the basement. The
Municipal Court Is placed on the fifth
floor and has ample quarters, while on
the sixth floor are an emergency hospital
and a Jury-root"-
LOST CASH STOPS NUPTIAL
Alaskan Loses His Purse Containing
f920 Wedding Postponed.
Wedding bells will not ring for J. Cope
land according to schedule. The loss of
J from his pocket has left Copeland
stranded In Portland, where he had
flopped while en route to San Francisco
to claim a bride. Copeland came to Port
land from Seattle on Friday evening and
secured a room at the Perkins Hotel. On
Saturday morning he arose at 9 o'clock,
stayed in the hotel for a short time and
then went to a Fourth-street barber
shop.
Soon after leaving the shop, he found
that his pocketbook was missing, and.
save for a few pieces of silver, he waa
left absolutely without funds. The gnoney
In the pocketbook consisted of three
$109 bills and 31 $20 bills. All search failed
to reveal the lost money.
Mr. Copeland Is an Alaska miner, and
while he is stranded here now. ho etlll
has interests In the North which will
make his wedding possible at a later
data. He reported his loss to police head
quarters and Detective Day has been put
to work to find the missing money if
possible. The unfortunate man took his
loss cheerfully. The detective department
brands him "the best loser In the world."

That city and county governments In

state and National Governments was to
educate the people in politics and politi
cal economy.
"They are too ignorant." he said, "of
public affairs to make any headway in
improving conditions as they now stand.
But the initiative and referendum laws
have thrown a responsibility on the shoul
ders of the people, making them the leg
islators and lawmakers, and hence they
will now become educated In public af
fairs through the operation of these di
rect laws. It throws a responsibility on
them which they must meet."
Remarks were made by D. W. Zeller.
Dr. W. il Smith, P. H. McGrath, Mrs.
Rounds and others along the same line,
agreeing in the main with Mr. Dufur's
Ideas. However, Mr. McGrath contended
that the failure of municipal govern
ments could be attributed to the influ
ence of the liquor-dealers, and that their
grasp on public affairs must be broken
before there could be any substantial im
provement. In connection with the meeting there
was an effective tableau. "Goddess of
Grain." Mrs. Dr. W. K. Smith was the
goddess. She was gowned in a cream
colored robe, decorated with wheat, corn

of the reigning queen of the harvest.

MURDER JUST AVERTED
GUARDSMEN" HOLD HAND OF
MAN" ABOUT TO KILL.
Italian Strikes Down Countryman
With Vicious Cut, but Further
Knifing Is Prevented.
Wliat was evidently Intended to be mur
der waa averted yesterday afternoon by
the presence of two members of the Ore
gon National Guard in the vicinity of
Park and Flanders streets. Glcento VI
sonl is now in the City Jail and will face
a charge of attempt to take human life,
while the victim, T. Kanatos, will be held
as a witness.
Kanatos was struck from behind with
a murderously large Jackknife in the
hands of Visonl. The blade entered the
top of the shoulder near the -neck and
ranged straight downward. The cut is
the width of the blade and appears to be
very deep. Aside from the loss of blood,
which City Physician Zlegler had great
difficulty In stopping, the man is not
seriously Injured. Had the wound been
an inch further toward the right, it would
have entered the neck and caused death.
L. R. Graham, of 73 Front street, and
D. W. Stoddard, employed by the Eastern
Manufacturing Company, were returning
from the militia rifle range when they
saw- Kanatos turn into Park street at a
fast run. Immediately behind- him came
Visonl. Kanatos was screaming and evi
dently In great fear. They saw Visonl
raise his right arm and" strike, his victim
falling Into the gutter.
Stoddard ran up, seized Visonl and held
him while Graham turned in a police call.
When questioned at the police station
neither of the Italians would understand
anything said to them, but It was ascer
tained that Kanatos came to Portland
from La Grande, arriving yesterday
morning. When searched, the officers
found about 1110 on his person, and the
theory is advanced that robbery was the
purpose of the assault.
PARTNER CHARGES THEFT
SALOON'MAN" HELD FOR ROB
BING CUSTOMER.
Gos Gereck Accuses Business Associ
ate of Stealing $150 Front In
toxicated Man.
Angered at the sight of his business
partner robbing an intoxicated man In
their saloon-at First and Madison streets.
Gus Gercek went to police headquarters
yesterday and asked that his partner,
Peter Grijinsky, be arrested. Gercek
accuses his partner of taking a watch
and about $150 in money from Harry
Boon. He says he asked what was going
on when he saw his partner searching
Boon's pockets and Grijinsky replied that
he was taking a dollar for the last round
pf drinks. Later, he says. Boon re
vived from his stupor anO said that $150
and his watch had been stolen.
Gercek then discovered that Grijinsky
had bought $57 worth of liquor from a
wholesale house. Knowing tha. the man
did not 'have that much money he has
tened to police headquarters and gave
the information. GriJinskv was arrested
by Detectives Day and Coleman yester- I
day afternoon. He was still carrying
Boon's watch and $110 in cash.
Boon, who is a veterinary and whose
home is at Marehfield, was still intoxi
cated when located. He was taken to
police headquarters and booked as a
drunk and will be held as a witness.
Gercek- will appear against his partner
In the morning. He has been associated
in business with Grijinsky but a short
time.

Testimony of Witnesses at Trial of
Woman Will Be Used In Fixing
Blame for Death of
Mrs. Real.
Frank Rodman. Jointly Indicted witTi
Mrs. Hazel Maddux for the killing of
Mrs. Mae Real on the Lin n ton road on
the morning of August 6. will be forced
to go to trial in the District Court next
Thursday morning.
The fact that the state was unable to
prove that Hazel Maddux was in part
responsible for the fate of the automo
bile victim, will not deter Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Fitzgerald and Page from
vigorously prosecuting the case against
Rodman. They believe that It was his
mschlne that left the Cliff Inn at a
frightful rate ' of speed and dashed
through the darkness to the spot where
Mae Real and het male companion were
exercising along the trail used by par
ties, of after-dark Joy riders. They are
confident that If allowed to delve Into
the Interim between 12:15. when Frank
Rodman was last placed at the Cliff Inn,
and the time of the killing, they can
show that Rodman and his female com
panion were the only two persons who
drove a machine along that route after
midnight.
Was Man at Wheel?
In the trial of Hazel Maddux, acquitted
by a jury last Saturday evening, it was
shown that a man and a woman sat on
the front seat of the auto which ran
down the woman, and the testimony of
several members of the Real party was
that the man was at the steering wheel
on the right side of the car. The chauf
feur for the Real party swore that It
was the man in the car who was doing
the steering when it went past his broken
machine. This was corroboratetd by
other members of the party, and was not
contradicted in any particular except by
the alleged confession of Mrs. Maddux.
In the account of the confession as re
lated by Ethel Noss, and said to have
been volunteered, while the two women
were at the Ranier-Grand Hotel at Se
attle, Mrs. Maddux was quoted as hav
ing admitted that she was driving the
Rodman car when the Real woman was
hit, and that her companion was the
owner of the car. It was the conflict in
the testimony on that point, as well as
the inability of the state to confirm the
confession, which caused the jury to
bring in the verdict of acquittal.
Mrs. Maddux With Rodman.
Mrs. Maddux admitted that she was
out in' company with Rodman, but the
state was not allowed to inquire where
they . went. It was admitted by Rodman
that he had taken a pleasure trip with
her. but his attorneys failed to ask him
where they went, and the state could
not get Into that chapter of the night's
history. They both agreed that It was
Just 1:15 when Mrs. Maddux dropped
from the juggernaut at a street corner
near her Jiome. This was confirmed by
the husband of the woman, who had
been watching for her return. Just how
all three of them determined upon the
minute bf the hour of her arrival was
not developed, because of the cleverness
shown by the defendant's attorneys in
defeating attempts to show where they
had been or what they were doing.
Proprietors of roadhouses along the
IJnnton road swore that they knew Rod
man and that he visited their various
places during the evening of August 4.
He was placed at the Cliff Inn at 12:15.
and had a woman companion. Mrs. Mad
dux confessed to having been with him
until 1:15. It is therefore reasonable to
conclude that she was the unknown
woman who, all the tavern-keepers said,
accompanied Rodman.
Light on Movements Sought.
It is now determined by the prosecu
tion that some means must be devised
to break into the tomb of silence sur
rounding the movements of Rodman and
his automobile after his midnight drink
with the proprietor of the Cliff Inn. He
may have rejoined his companion, who
ever she was. In the private room occu
pied by them at that resort and remained
there until about 2:30. when they made
a wild -dash for the city. Without being
able to do that it Is believed the state
will be unable to identify Rodman as
the driver of the death car.
It may develop that Hazel Maddux
will prove the angel of grace In sav
ing her companion of the midnight ride
from punishment. Having been placed
on trial for the killing of MrB. Real
and having been acquitted, it is urged
that she can now safely go on the
stand and admit that she was at the
wheel of the car which ran over Mrs.
Real. It is said that under the Oregon
statutes she could not be again placed
in jeopardy for the same offense.
Law Would Be Defeated.
Such a move would free Rodman of
the manslaughter charge. Another re
sult would be that the public would
be able to place the responsibility for
reckless disregard of human life as
shown in this affair, but the hands of
the District Attorney would be tied.
The possibility of such a close of the
Linnton road tragedy presents an in
teresting field of speculation. From
the "nerve" shown by Mrs. Maddux dur
ing the days when her own liberty
was at stake, it is believed that If ne
cessity demanded she would not hesi
tate to make such a sacrifice on the
altar of her friendship.
"BILKER" IS CAUGHT HERE
Alleged to Have Defrauded Hotel
Out of Board Bill.
R. I. Clifford, well known to the police
of all the Pacific Coast cities as a pro
fessional "bilker," was arrested Saturday
night by Detectives Coleman and Price,
on a warrant sworn to by F. I. Thomp
son, of the Perkins Hotel, charging him
with defrauding an innkeeper.
ClifTord left the Perkins in an uncere
monious manner several weeks ago after
having incurred a bill of $25. His arrest
was brought about through the activity
of the Western Hotelmen's Protective As
sociation. He is wanted In several other
cities, it Is said, for similar offenses.
MALLORY HOME FROM EAST

Rufus Mallory. member of the law firm
Of Dolph, Mallory. Simon 4 Gearin, has

Cor. Second and Washington Sts
Portland, Oregon
returned after an absence of three weeks
In which he combined business with
pleasure. Mr. Mallory first went to San
Francisco, where he had business before
the United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals. Later he went to Western New
York state, where he visited a brother.
H. H. Mallory, near Ithaca, and other
relatives.
"Business conditions generally through
out the East are good." said Mr. Mallory
yesterday. "There was a bountiful yield
of crops of all kinds this year, and ie
market prices for all products have been
high, making for the prosperity of the
producers and, incidentally, all other
classes. Potatoes are raised largely In
Western New York, and this crop was
being gathered while I was there. The
yield was good and the farmers were
freely disposing of their crop at a mini
mum price of 50 cents a bushel, which
netted them a comfortable margin over
the cost of production."
OPIUM HID IN FOREPEAK
SMUGGLED DRUG OX STEAMER
AT ASTORIA.
Chinese Mariners Conceal Poison on
the Cape Flnisterre Inspector
Finds It Xo Arrests Made.
ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.)
While searching the British steamer Cape
Finlsterre, Captain McDonald, which ar
rived this morning from Union Bay, B.
C, Customs Inspector Karlnin found 12
pounds of opium in the personal effects
of "No. 1" fireman and the donkey en
gine man, whlch'they had stowed away in
the forepeak.
The men are members of the Chinese
crew, and as the officers of the vessel
were evidently not implicated in the at
tempted smuggling and had no knowl
edge of the drug being on board, the
steamer was not detained. The opium
was confiscated by the local customs of
ficers and brought ashore here.
The Cape Flnisterre will leave up the
river tomorrow morning. As opium is
worth about $400 a pound when it is smug
gled, the find made today is quite a
valuable one. Neither of the Chinamen
having the drug has been arrested, and
probably will not be, as neither had made
any effort to either sell the contraband or
bring it ashore.
SHIP IS TO GO OX DRYDOCK
Steamer Breakwater to GetiXew Pro
peller While In Port.
Carrying an unusualy large load of
freight and- a large list of passengers,
the steamer Breakwater arrived on her
regular trip from Coos Bay last night, and
will go on the dry dock today for paint
ing, inspection and to get a new propeller.
While the vessel is on the dry dock, the
Inspectors will bore holes through her
hull to determine the condition of the
plate and Its thickness. It Is not believed
the vessel is in urgent need of a new pro
peller, but the old one will be replaced
by a stronger one simply as a matter of
safety.
The Breakwater is due to leave on her
next trip to Coos Bay Wednesday night,
and it is believed she will be off the dry
dock In time to leave on schedule time.
As soon as the vessel was tied up to the
dock last night, a crew of men was put
at work to hurry unloading her.
The Breakwater brought from Coos
Bay 350 tons of coal and 150 tons of gen
eral cargo. Two scows belonging to the
dredge Oregon ware a part of her load.
P. J. Barnes, the new mate, became the
father of a son Just before the Breakwater
left on her last trip south.
WHERE IS SHIP BUTESHIRE?
Reported Off Mouth or Columbia
River Three Weeks Ago.
The whereabouts of the British ship
Buteshire is a matter of great interest
among shipping men of Portland. The
craft was reported by the North Head
lookout October 23. She did not cross in
and recent reports from Lloyds give rise
to the theory that the report was false
and that the craft is either at Panama
or en route to the river. ,
The Buteshire sailed from Panama for
Caleta Colosa April 15. After being
buffeted about for 91 days by storms and
suffering considerable damage, she re
turned to Panama for repairs. This
would bring the date of return up to the
middle of July. Repairs at those ports
are necessarily slow. She received or
ders at Panama to proceed to the Co
lumbia River.
KERX FIXED, LEAVES DOCK
Vessel Rammed by the Elder to Re
sume Service In Month.
Extensive repairs have been made on
the steamer Daniel Kern, which was
lowered from the drydock at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. It is expected that
the vessel will be ready to be placed in
commission in about 30 days.
The Daniel Kern belongs to the Colum
bia Contract Company, and has been used
In towing rock barges to the jetty. On
August IS. she was struck by the steamer
Geo. W. Elder, off Waterford Light, in
the Lower Columbia. Before being used
for jetty construction, the Kern waa the
lighthouse-tender Manzanita.

With a fair list of passengers and about
1000 tons of general cargo, the North Pa

The voyage was made 'in good weather
