THE 3IORMXG OREGOXIAX, TnTJRSDAT. 3IARCH 3, 1910. LIGHT OFF, WOMAN WRECKS HOSTELRY Irate Landlady Vents Spleen on Owner of Dawson Hotel. OFFICIALS MAKE ARRESTS Because Light Company Turned Off Gas, Owing to Uncollectible Bill, Proprietress Smashes Furni ture Caught at Depot. Splintered furniture, broken mirrors, upturned stoves, ruined upholstery and carpets in each of the 21 rooms of the Dawson Hotel Annex, 209 Clay street, mark the wake of the wrath of Pauline Brown, who until yesterday was pro prietor of the place. She and Samuel Ruby were arrested by Constable Wag ner on a warrant charging the pair with malicious destruction of personal prop erty. The woman was subsequently re leased on $500 bonds. Rubyn was un able to furnish the necessary collateral to guarantee his appearance in court. The demolition of the furniture came as a climax to a grudge between the woman and Michael Goldberg, the owner of the rooming establishment. Woman Leased From Goldberg. Several months ago the Brown woman leased the place from Goldberg. In the specifications of the lease, Gold berg, after fitting all the rooms with new furniture and carpets, reserved the right to cancel the lease by giving the lessee 30 days' notice. Since Jan uary 1, Goldberg has endeavored to enforce his rights under the lease and secure possession of the premises. Mon day afternoon the Brown woman ap proached Goldberg and offered to pa.y him $125 in advance for rent for the present month. He refused to accept the money. For the past two weeks the Port land Railway, Light & Power Co. has made a futile effort to collect a light bill of ill from the woman. While she was dickering with Goldberg on Monday about the rental of the prem ises, an employe of the light company visited the premises and cut oft the light service. Apparently angered by the fact that v she was unable to secure lights with out the payment of a bill which she protested, and believing Goldberg to have been indirectly the cause of the actions of the light company, the woman proceeded to vent her wrath upon Goldberg's new furniture valued at $1800. She is said to have been aided in her capers by Rubyn, well known to the police. The damage done 1b estimated at $1000. Keen-edged knives, an ax and a plentiful supply of water were the principal weapons used in the de struction of the contents of the rooms. Expensive mattresses and couches were silt the entire length; chiffoniers, tables, dressers and chairs were shat tered by blows from an ax; carpets and bed clothing were ruined by soot and water. In the eagerness of the de Btroyers to wreck th place several Btovs were upset. The soot in the pipes had been deposited in heaos on the par. pets and bed clothing and water aided in Desmircning these. Damage Done, Taxi Ordered. When the damage had been done the woman ordered a taxicab and left the place about 10 o'clock Mondav evening. She expected to leave the city for New Tork yesterday. Her plans in this re spect were foiled by the discovery of the damage by an employe of Goldberg. The woman was traced to the Grand Central station, where she was arrested on warrant issued through the District At torney's office and sworn out bi- Gnlri. berg a few minutes before. Rubyn was ubsequently taken Into custody. Behind the recent clash of the litigants in me case lies a series of police esca pades of the woman and Goldberg. The woman succeeded In escaping from the .- clutches of the law last week aftT- aha had been arraigned in the Municipal ouri on several qharges made by Gold berg against her. A. Walter Wolf .and W. W. Banks, attorneys, who have been retained by the Brown woman and Ru byn in the present case, at the time of her arraignment before Judge Bennett succeeded in convincing the court that Goldberg was more to be cen aured than the woman. The court scathingly arraigned Goldberg and in his reprimand caustically referred to him as being "Portland's most undesirable citl zen." The woman was acquitted of the charges. Goldberg's troubles evidently do not come singly. He will undoubtedly be taken to task for harboring an alien for Immoral purposes. Late Monday night Immigration Inspector J. H. Barbour ar rested Marie Jauthier, a French woman, in the Dawson Hotel, 314 Second, street. The hotel is conducted by Goldberg. The woman claimed she was the landlady of the place. She is now being held by me j-eaerai authorities awaiting the ar rival of a formal warrant from Washing ton for her arrest.

In his address Tuesday night before the Waverly-Richmond Improvement Asso ciation, which met in the hail on bast Twenty-sixth and Clinton streets, L. E. Rice said that the voters of Port land would have to choose at a special election, soon to be called, between a free water measure or a modified form of the present method of-laying water mains and conducting the water de partment. He said that one branch of the subcommittee, of which he is the chairman, has already framed a meas ure looking to free water by provid ing a tax of $1 for every lot inside the city per annum to provide for operat ing expenses and then paying for ex tensions out of the general fund of the city. Mr. Rice then said that the majority of the committee favors making the cost of a six-inch main the basis of laying all water mains; that is, no matter how large the main, the abutt ing property will be assesed the cost of a six-Inch main, which is estimated at $35 for each lot. However, this money will eventually be returned to the lot owner. Mr. Rice read statistics of 60 cities, and of these 45 have wa ter systems that are self-sustaining. Dr. C. H. Raffety, former member of the Water Board, spoke briefly, urging that an amendment be made to the charter that will enable the city to lay water mains where contractors bid too high. He said that the former Water Board laid mains for a third less money than contractors now charge, and he gave it as his opinion that contractors have entered into a conspiracy to force the cost of laying water mains as high as possible, which can be defeated by the city being empowered to lay Its own mains. A resolution was adopted indorsing the movement to close the bridge draws during the rush hours, and it was de cided to get up a monster petition of 100.000 signatures to present to the War. Department. W. D. B. Dodson. Allen R. Joy and J. A. McNamee were appointed to prepare the petitions and place them in the "hands of all push clubs. About 2000 copies of the peti tions will be printed. This plan was considered better than a mass meet ing. G. C. Johnson, John P. Sharkey and W. J. Guy were appointed to select a street that should be opened to the Reed Institute site. T. G. Farwell was appointed to ascertain the cause of the delay in the improvement of Division street from East Tenth to the city limits. CABINET PLAN TALKE REPUBLICANS COXDEMX FORM PROPOSED. Representative Republican Govern ment Upheld by Speakers at Meeting. Principal among the speakers before the Portland Republican Club at the con vention hall of the Commercial Club Tuesday night was C. N. Mc Arthur, Speaker of the House of Representatives at the 1900 session of the State Legisla ture. The subject for discussion was "Shall Oregon Maintain a Representative Republican Form of Government?" Other speakers were Judge M. C. George, presi dent of the club and newly-elected chair man of the Republican State Central Committee; O. A. Neal, J. E. Eddy, F. E. Beach and Peter Hume. Mr. McArthur directed his remarks to a discussion of the various measures. In cluding a wholesale revision of the state constitution, which have been suggested by the People's Progressive Government League .of which W. S. U'Ren, C. E. S. Wood, E. S. J. McAllister, C. Schuebel and a few others are the moving spirits. The ex-Speaker applied his remarks prin cipally to a discussion of the amendments suggested by this organization pr.ovidlng for a board of people b Inspectors of gov ernment; eliminating the abuse of the emergency clause, preventing "log-roll lng" among legislators and prescribing a system of proportional representation and. providing a cabinet form of state government, under which the Governor would appoint all other state officers. "The average American citizen is op posed to the surrender of his elective power," said Mr. McArthur in disapprov ing emphatically of the proposed cabinet plan for administering the government of state affairs. "The people of Wasco, or Sherman, or Douglas counties are far better able to Judge the qualifications of their candidates for Sheriff, District At torney and Judge than is the Governor at the capitol, and, being responsible to the people, rather than to the executive, these officials are more likely to render effi cient service under the elective system. The people of the state, likewise, have a right to select their own state officials and any attempt to curtail this right would be at variance with the great principles of our Government. "The cabinet system may have Its place In certain European states, but It is un American and not In keeping with our ideals. Ours Is not a Government of monarchies or oligarchies, but is and should be maintained as republican in form." WOMAN GAGGED; ROBBED Mrs. II. Prosser Bound by Thieves Who Steal $2 5.

Judge Bronaugh with his subject of "What to Do With the Boy." told of the difficult position surrounding the Juve nile Court and of methods by which de linquent boys might be helped. "There are 400 boys under parole in this city," said Judge Bronaugh, "and only three officers to look after them. The work is far too heavy for them and they cannot do it Justice. The best way to help the delinquents is to get a lot of men interested and let each one take charge of a boy and be 'a big brother' to him." Probation Officer Teuscher spoke of the necessity of getting a big brother who could interest himself In the same thing the boy Is Interested in and thus find out Just what he wants and lacks. Conditions Produce Delinquent Boys. R. R. Perkins," religious director of the T. M. C. A., dwelt on the conditions which produce delinquent boys. Telling of a special Investigation which he had made In St. Louis in 1906, Mr. Perkins said: "I found that 70 per cent of the boys who came to the Juvenile Court were from five of the 12 police precincts and 30 per cent of them were from one pre cinct. "There were 656 people in that one pre cinct while there were less than 50 to the acre in the whole city. There was not a park or playground In the whole district. Seventy per cent of all the de linquent boys in any city are generally arrested within an area of 10 per cent of the city." GAMBLERS PLEAD GUILTY Juliaetta. Men Fined $2 00 for Play ing "Stud Poker."

The Owl Drug Company's gramme advertising, the donation of prizes and the pur chase of tickets for various public affairs, and the same con dition presents itself to us in Portland. As our Company dep.ends upon the general public for its patronage we should contribute our share toward the public good, but owing to the fact that requests are so frequently made and we do not want to unjustly discrimi nate, we have concluded to discontinue contributing cash prizes or merchandise as well as the purchase of tickets or advertising in programmes. In its stead we have a plan that will place our little help where it should be a policy consistent with the spirit of Portland and therefore our store in the future will furnish prescriptions absolutely free to the worthy poor upon pre sentation of a note or an order from any licensed physician or surgeon in this city. Within a few days we will notify every doctor in this city that a note or an order on the back of their card will be sufficient to obtain without charge any prescription they may write. We believe the public will heartily approve of our plan. 1Y SHUT BY BILL Extradition of Packers Sought by Act of Congress.
