judge Gatens Releases Bunco
Steerer on $100 Bail.
Latter Flees.
JUDGES CLASH, POLICE MUM
Chief Coi reclares Mayor Simon Ad
vised Him lo Await Action
of Committee Before
Making Move.
Following th action of Judge Gatens,
of the Circuit Court, in peremptorily or
dering the- release of Frank "Watson,
bunco-steerer and confidence man, con
victed of vagrancy, the latter yesterday
added more sensation to the scandal cen
tering about the gang with which he
worked, and the Police Department, by
skipping his bail and leaving the city.
To further complicate matters a clash
Iwtween Judge Bennett, of the Municipal
Court, and Judge Ciatens, of the Circuit
Court. Is Imminent. Judge Bennett yes
terday seriously considering whether he
should issue a bench warrant for Wat
eons arrest and have him brought back
Into the custody of the police.
It 1b claimed that Judge Gatens entirely
overstepped his authority in issuing the
order which liberated Watson. This con
tention is upheld by Deputy City Attorney
Sullivan, who tried the case of Watson,
and by Deputy District Attorney Fitz
gerald, to whom Chief of Police Cox ap
pealed for advice on Monday night after
he had received the order to release Wat
eon from Judge Gatens. '
Judge Is Criticised.
.TurizA Gatens action Is severely criti
cised by Deputy District Attorney Fitz
gerald, who says that the order iesued
by Judge Gatens In the Watson case was
worthless, the Circuit Court not having
acquired Jurisdiction in the case.
The facts in the case are that Attorney
King called at the house of Judge Gatens
during his dinner hour and upon the re
quest of the attorney the judge Issued an
order for Watson s releaje, setting the
bail at one tenth of the amount set by
Judge Bennett. 'Judge Bennett had set
Watson's bail at 500 cash or 000 bonds,
end as the law in cases of appeal on mis
demeanor specifies that only bond is ac
ceptable, in Watson's case the bond
would necessarily have been $1000.
"Judge Catena acted entirely without
authority." said Deputy Fitzgerald yes
terday in discussing the case. "In reality
both Judge Gatens and Chief of Police
Cox are technically in contempt of the
Municipal Court. The order written by
Judge Gatens calling for the release of
Watson was not worth the paper on
which it was written. I talked with Judge
Gatens the night the man was released
and told him he would be in error if he
commanded the man's release and he eaid
that he would go ahead anyhow. I also
advised the Chief of Police what course
to pursue and told him what the law was,
but he evidently did pot have the courage
to stick it out In the face of an order
from the Circuit Court.
Attorneys Shy Client.
That Watson lias gone beyond the juris
diction of both the Municipal Court and
' the Circuit Court and does not Intend to
return is admitted by his attorneys. H.
. C. King and Tom McDevitt, who failed
to produce their client yesterday after
noon. Some doubt was expressed to these
attorneys that Watson was still in the
city and they agreed to have him appear
at the police station during the afternoon
to show that he had not run- away, but
they evidently were unsuccessful in locat
ing the man. as Watson failed to put In an
appearance about police headquarters.
The man's disappearance and the fluke
which has occurred through Judge Ga
tens" order greatly aroused Judge Ben
nett and Deputy City Attorney Sullivan
yesterday. During the afternoon follow
ing the session of the Municipal Court
they went to the Circuit Court to move
before Presiding Judge Bronaugh to have
Judge Gatens' order vacated, but owing
to the absence of the Judges at the meet
ing of the bar association, the matter
was not discussed. It will probably be
brought up today.
'It may be too late." said Deputy City
Attorney Sullivan, "for the man may take
advantage of this opportunity to get out
of town, but we will take the matter up
before Judge Bronaugh tomorrow. It Is
a great disappointment for me for It will
virtually mean that this man will es
cape punishment. After his victim,
Buren. was spirited out of town it be
came impossible to indict him before the
grand jury without a complaining witness
and the only other opportunity the law
would have of punishing this fellow
whom we know is a thief, . was to bring
him in on the vagrancy charge. The
Jo'JO posted as ball to await the action of
the grand jury is not in jeopardy as un
doubtedly the Jury, without the testimony
of the complaining witness, will not find
a true bill against him. The order of Judge
Gatens releasing him from his 90 days on
' ' the rockpile and reducing his bail to J100
would have the effect if ha has taken
; advantage of the opportunity, of decamp
lng, of allowing him to pay his way out
of his difficulty for $100 fine and escape
the rockpile sentence entirely. I was
very anxious to prosecute him."
Judge Gatens Talks.
Judge Gatens said last night: "If I had
known the real facts in Watson's case,
I would not have issued the order. His
attorney came to me and. while he did
not misrepresent anything to me I was
not acquainted with the real facts and I
acquiesced to his request, believing that
It was all right. Had I known that the
provisions of the city charter had not
been complied with, or had I known that
Judge Bennett had placed this man's
bonds higher than J 100. I would have de
. murred. That is always customary out
I of respect to another judge. Often a
. Judge la imposed upon and while I can't
' say that I was imposed upon by the at
torneys in this case, I can reiterate that
I was not made acquainted from any
source of the real facts in the case. I
think the course of the City Attorney's
office to seeking to have the order va
cated before the presiding judge of the
Circuit Court is perfectly proper and
should be granted. If the case were be
fore me, I should do so. That is the
proper method 6f procedure."
The release of Watson was the sub
ject of a great deal of discussion yester
day in legal circles and the opinions gen
erally expressed by attorneys discussing
the matter seemed to be that Judge Ga
tens had "put his foot into it." Coinci
dental with Watson's flight from justice
the announcement by Judge Bennett that
Harvev Dale and most of his gang had
fled from the city, caused a new situa- t
tion in the case. It is pointed out that
Dale and his crowd would not have left
town if they had not had good reason to
place a safe distance between themselves
and the possible results of the investiga
tion stirred up by the determined police
magistrate.
"I have received Information from j
most responsible eye witnesses that Har
vey Dale and several of his gang left the
city on Monday night after the announce
ment of this affair on the Shasta Limited
train." said Judge Bennett. "If I wer
In a position to employ the necessary de
tectives I would like to run this thing
down to the bottom." he continued.
"Some one ought to do so. I have shown
the way in this matter. Some one ought
to carry it through. Provtsion ought to
be made from some source to ferret this
matter out and show up why these men
were allowed to operate in this city."
Late in the afternoon. Judge Bennett
received further information that another
resort of the bunco gang had been
brought to light near the depot at 104
North Sixth street. This place was li
censed by the City Council recently and
has-been the hangout for the steerers
who have worked from the depot up to
Washington street. :
"Spindle" Stevens, in charge of the
place, was visited yesterday afternoon by
the police and instructed that if it were
not closed he would be arrested on the
gambling charge. The place is conducted
with games of chance, similar to the
"fish pond" and like deceptions and a
number of men working as cappers are
known to have been floating up and
down Sixth street, acting in a suspicious
manner toward strangers.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan, after
hearing of the place from Judge Bennett,
visited it and informed the police that it
came under the ban as a gambling place
and should be closed. Sergeant . Goltz
was then Instructed to prevent further
operations there.
Chler of Police Wait.
The avalanche of sensations let loose
upon the Police Department by Judge
Bennett in his allegations that protec
.i t.. hn o-ranterl this gang did not
stir the department Into much of an In
vestigation yesterday. ,
Chief of Police Cor said last night
that nothing definite had yet been done
In the way of looking into the charges.
He had consulted Mayor Simon, he said,
who had deemed it advisable that before
the police underwent the throes of the
probe the matter should be carefully laid
before the police committee and that the
affair should be conducted with their
advice and under their guidance. The
police committee will meet this after
noon for that purpose.
"It is hard for me to believe that any
of the men under me have been dishon
est." said Chief Cox. "I can't believe it
without proof. If," however, we do find
that anv crooked work has been going
on. I will insist on having the guilty
man get his just punishment."
"I don't believe that there is any foun
j.. .i. f.. the rharires." said Captain
Baty. "It is quite possible that a gang
may have pulled off a trick in this town
without this office being aware of it. but
that any direct collusion between swind
lers and any man in this office has oc
curred, I deem impossible. If Judge Ben
nett has any Information in this mat
ter why doesn't he tell it? Why doesn't
he 'come out with it? I think it Is his
duty to do so. We are willing to make
any sort of an investigation if he will
give us a few of his facts."
SIMOX WANTS INVESTIGATION-
Judge Bennett to Be Summoned Be
fore Police Committee Today.
Mayor Simon held, a conference with
Chief of Police Cox and Detective Cap
tain Baty at the City Hall yesterday
morning, after which he announced that
a thorough investigation of the sensa
tional charges made by Municipal Judge
Bennett will be had. The police com
mittee of the Executive Board will hold
a meeting this afternoon for the purpose
of taking testimony, and Judge Bennett
will be summoned to tell under oath
what he knows about "certain persons"
standing in with bunco men and grafters.
"I think it proper that Judge Bennett
shall tell the police committee what he
knows about alleged crookedness In the
detective bureau." sai Mayor Simon.
"His allegations are serious, and should
not be passed by without a rigid investi
gation. This I have ordered, and the
first session of the committee will be held
In my committee-room tomorrow after
noon at 4 o'clock. I have instructed that
Judge Bennett be summoned and placed
under oath, that he may tell to the
members of the committee what he
knows about alleged misconduct in the
Police Department. I also instructed
Chief Cox. if it develops that any officer
has 'stood in' with criminals, to dismiss
such officer at once, without ceremony,
as I will not have any such men on the
police force."
Chief of Police Cox went to Judge
Bennett yesterday morning, he told Mayor
Simon, and asked the judge for detailed
information concerning the startling alle
gations made from the bench the previous
day. According to the chief. Judge Ben
nett said that he had no positive infor
mation: that all he had said was founded
on hearsay evidence, and it might not be
true.
Mayor Simon thinks that, if Judge .Ben
nett knew of any misconduct on the part
of any police officer, he should have
conveyed that information to the chief,
or some one in authority over the depart
ment, so that an investigation could have
been made at once.
Chief Cox and Captain Baty declared
to the Mayor that they have no informa
tion whatever which would cause them
to suspect any member of the Detective
Bureau or any other branch of the police
force of misconduct, and both told the
Mayor that the reports of bunco games
and crimes in general have been exagger
ated. There have been a few isolated
cases, the chief said, but nothing to indi
cate that any gang of crooks have been
operating here.
Mayor Simon also was told yesterday
by Councilman Dunning that Harvey
Dale, the alleged leader of the alleged
gang of bunco men and criminals, had
gone to San Francisco.

as Confirroatpry of w . '
. Belief. " I
1 ,
A party of mysterious surveyors has ap
peared in University Park and is run
ning a line across the east end of the ad
dition from north to south. It is believed
that railroad interests, presumably the
Milwaukee Railroad," are ' behind . their
movements. The line, is being made with
unmarked stakes and runs Just along the
side of the alley in the line of blocks be
tween .Fowler and Wasbburne streets in
University Park.
It Is believed that this may he the
entrance into Portland by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul. That this road
Is coming to Portland seems assured now
from recent developments in . the State
of Washington, and 1n a dispatch from
Washington . It has been given out that
Everett and Portland are to be made the
Pacific Coast terminals.
Route Surveyed Before. . .
The University Park line now being sur
veyed Is not the first along virtually the
same line. Several years ago a party of
surveyors set a line of unmarked stakes
along the alley and a Bhort time later
pulled the stakes up. After an interval
of a few months surveyors again put in a
line of unmarked stakes, allowing them
to remain, and some of them are there
now. Almost simultaneously with this
survey an option was secured from Fran
cis I. McKenna by the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle on the line of blocks, the rail
road men telling exactly what was wanted
of the ground and saying that it was
wanted for the right of way for the line
into Portland.
Ultimately this line was dropped
and changed to a route further west,
owing to the difficulty of putting the
bridge over the Wllamette River south
of the proposed right-of-way. It was
stated, however, that this was a possi
bility for an entrance to Portland, and
it is believed that what was once
thought practical by the S. P. & S. and
later rejected may now appeal to the
Milwaukee.
Forty Acres Mysteriously Sold.
Mysterious buying and rumors of
other buying in the vicinity of Guild's.
Lake, are also interesting in the same
connection. A tract of 40 acres at
Guild's Lake, owned by the T. J. Tot
tle' estate, was bought last week for
$100,000. It lies almost directly in a
line with the survey being run in Uni
versity Park and it is regarded as pos
sible that the same interests may be
buying terminal grounds there. Other
rumors are circulated, all more or less
intangible, of options which have been
secured on property bordering on
Guild's Lake and it is at all times re
ported that real estate men, represent
ing themselves as agents for railroads
are negotiating for the options.
If the survey through University l arx
ultimately develops into a right of way
for a railroad, it is believed that it could
be used only as a tunnel. Just west of
this survey is the proposed Maegly tun
nel for the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company. This tunnel parallels the sur
vey now being made, and it is pointed
out that If a railroad should cross Uni
versity Park along this line on the
ground level it would be so far in the air
when the river was reached that a bridge
would not prove feasible.
ROWE IS XOT TO BE REPLACED
Veltch Coining as Extra Representa
tive of Milwaukee In Portland.
J. R. Veltch. of Chicago, who was re
cently appointed general agent for the

cago last Saturday and would probably
confer with other officials of this road
at Seattle before coming to this city to
take up his work.
The assignment of Mr. Veitch to this
city as general agent of the Pacific Coast
extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul la understood to be in addition

BONDHOLDERS PLAYSAFE
POKTLiAD PEOPIiE COMBINE TO
SAVE SION-ETT.
Action Suggested to Depositors in
Defunct Oregon Trust & Sav
ings Bank.
Portland people, representing $400,
000 of outstanding: Omaha telephone
bonds, met In Alisky Hall last night
and resolved to take such action as
would conserve their interest in these
securities.
A committee consisting of John Kler
nan, chairman of the meeting:; James
O. Elrod and Eugene Cohen, was ap-
oolnted to confer with similar com-
rolttees representing' the holders of the
same telephone bonds in Los Angeles
and Omaha, as to the most advisable
plan of action to follow. This com
mlttee will submit a report for the con
firmation of local bondholders at an
other meeting which will be held In
the same hall Tuesday night, Novem
ber 30.
This action was suggested to the de
posltors in the defunct Oregon Trust
& Savings Bank, who accepted Omaha
telephone bonds In part settlement of
their, claims, as a means of realizing
full value for their securities. The de
positors, represented at this meeting,
decided on the action which was taken
following a talk by'F. H. Stow, who
was once connected with the Omaha
plant.
Mr. Stow declared that without any
indebtedness, the plant In the Nebras
ka city was worth $1,400,000, provided
$500,000 worth of bonds on the mar
ket, which had not been paid for. were
wiped out. He advised the bondholders
to get together and pool their interests
with the residents of Los Angeles and
Omaha, who held the same class of
securities, contending that In so doing
It would be possible for them to realize
dollar for dollar for their Investments.
Otherwise, Mr. Stow declared that if
it became necessary for the property
to pass through a receivership, bond
holders could not expect to realize mors
than 10 cents on tne dollar. .
It was the general opinion of the
heavier bondholders, including P. I
Willis, Eugene Cohen, Charles E. Rum
elln and Jacob Rosenthal, that the best
course for the holders of Omaha tele
phone bonds to pursue was to get to
gether, pool their interests and, if nec
essary, to take over the control and
management of the property and place
It on a paying basis.

Snow, sunshine, and
just enough "snap" in
the air to make you
hurry that is a com
bination that brings the
roses to one's cheeks.
There is only one
drawback the possibil
ity that one's hands and
face may be chapped.
But that is only a pos
sibility. Use pure soap Ivory
Soap. Rinse your hands
and face in cold water
and satisfy yourself that
they are thoroughly dry.
Do this and you need
have no fear of cold or
