are aiding In tha campaign, aa sre the
deputies from the office of Sheriff Stev
en, with their combined efforts It la
be tiered that tha macquereaux and other
brands of undesirable cltlsens will event

In telling of their meeting wnn worm
Kalaran and Jim Toka. Creeks, the
story of the two California orphan girls
brought tears rrora me eyea oi
their Inoulsltor and Judge la United
Elates Court at a preliminary hearing
veaterdav. KHvu bad been oroereo
cut of Portland for procuring Carrie
Jrhnson to tour the Northwest with him
and confiscating the profits of her busl
nrsa. Kalaran was accompanied by
Tnkn and Mrs. Johnson, and ultimately
slopped at Eureka- There the men met
the girla. who had Just lost their only
parent. One girl waa employed In a
laundry and the other In a restaurant.
The Greeks made violent love to the
Iris and oromlsed them marriage aa
soon ss they could reach Portland, where
It waa alleged that tha men can money
and friend. The girls came here with
Kalavan and Tokae. and were located
at the Perkins Hotel, where they re
malnrd for two days before their money
waa exhausted, the men visiting tnem
each day. On the third day their money
save out and the Craig girls were unable
to procure either food or to take their
luctage from the Hotel- un me lounu
nunt the men appeared and. according
to the girls, fonnd them In such a deplor
able state of collapse that they fell easy
victims. On the following day. tney
were taken to the Empire - Rooming'
House, at Sixth and Stark streets, which
is operated by Mrs. Carrie Johnson, and
which waa purchased by tha money
earned by herself and saved by Kalaran
and Tokas.
Mr. Johnson, say the Crelg girls, sup
plied them with meala and rooms until
such time as they refused to go out on
tha streets to solicit trade, when Mrs.
Johnson rebelled, and wss assaulted by
one of tha Greeks. Kaloran. sirs, jonn
son admits that she wss Jealous of the
Oaiz airls.
When interviewed. Mrs, Johnson said
that Kalovan had taken her away from
her husband twice, and that if the Greek
made a practice of beating her twice a
dav. she would still love mm. airs.
Johnson testified that she met Kalavan
at Spokane, and that he threw such an
Influence over her that she left her hus
band and children to trarel with him.
In their tour they made the lumber
nmii of tha Northwest on pay days.
and ahe says that Kalavan took all the
money. After she learned of the girls
from Eureka. Mrs. Johnson went back to
her husband, and they decided to come
to Portland, where he purchased a res
taurant. They were doing well when
Kalavan returned to Portland with the
Craig girls and insisted that Mrs. John
son return to him. The conference be
gan at tha Postofflce and ended on Coun
cil Croat, where Mrs. Johnson says she
aa-reed again to desert ber husband and
children,
To the police Mrs. Johnson has always
asserted that she waa a victim of Kava
lan under promise of marriage, but In
appearing before Immigration Inspector
Barbour sbo strengthened the case
against tha Greeks by stating the truth
as to not having expected marriage. She
cruld not marry the Greek If she wanted
to. Mrs. Johnson will be Investigated as
a party to the procurers' conspiracy.
The case of Pavld Westman. tha ex
emplovo of the street railway company,
presents one of the most revolting sit
uations with which Federal officers ever
had to deal. Westman Is sccused by his
wife and sister-in-law of having placed
them In the tenderloin business and
hcarded their gains In tha stocking of
his bar-v.
Assistant I'nited Piste Attorney
Ktui last night announced his Inten
tion of pushing the cases against Nathan.
Kalavan. Tokas snd Westman to the
extreme limit of the law. It was under
stood yesterday that one of the men
wishes to tell all he know of the Inside
rf the white slave traffic, under promise
of Immunity. Government officers will
not permit the offer to be accepted un
nu they are satisfied that they have
heen able l explore the ramification
of the organisation which Is no longer
doubted to be preying on the youth of
America
Judge Taswell. of the Municipal Court,
yesterday sentenced Kalavan and Tokas
to -o dava on the rockpile and to pay a
fine of Sl each. The case of West
man will he considered this morning In
that way. the men will be held until the
Federal grand Jure can have time to In
vestigate the cases. Sadie and Annie
Craig were yesterday held by United
State Judge Bean as Important wit
nesses, and In default of bonds In the
sura of no each were sent to the Cath
olic Home) for safe keeping. It Is prob
able that officers of the court will be
called upon to pay the bill for their safe
keeping, the Governmental appropriations
not recognising any refuge other than
the County JalL Believing that the Craig
girla were more sinned against than sin
ning, the court will see that they are
not annoyed or surrounded by had Infln
ancea pending the trial.
Kalavaa 1 believed to be one of the
rhlef procurer among the foreign popu
lation oa the Coast, aside from the
French colony. He speaks a number of
languages and Is accomplished In music
After his sentence yesterday, he asked
for an appeal of his case, and bonds of
ItJOO In the cases of himself snd Tokas
waa fixed by tha court. It Is believed
that the men will furnish the bonds and
that the money win be put up by the
MiitiMf wht.-h la behind tha Immoral
traffic.
Jt'athaa is being held In the County
Jail without bonds. His trlsl will be the
first to be called to the attention of the
Federal Court In November.
FRUITS OF LOCAL OPTION
They Are Preferred by Writer Be
fore Impossible Prohibition.
PORTLAND, Oct. lX-To the Editor.)
I make these suggestion as to the
prohibition issue: "Our devout advocates
of state-wide prohibition preach scath
ing sermons Impugning the motives of
those voters who refuse to Join In seeing
things ss they now see them." The
man who votes "no" November t simply
Indorses the vote cast by these reform
ers when our present laws were enacted.
If their votes were moral and right then,
can we not continue that same law with
out committing a crime T The uncom
promising prohibitionist had the same
license to arraign them In 1901 for vot
ing local option that they have today
for arraigning us who still eeueve in
local option. They must realize that
temperance baa been advanced more,
morals have been better supervised un
der local option than they have or caa
have under prohibition.
Many a sealoua minister of the gospel
has been arraigned by the "holiness
band" for falling far short of perfec
tion, with much semblance of truth in
the; arrala-nment. Yet it remains a fact
that the church at large has accoro
pllshed a thousand tiroes more for re
form than the more ostentatious "holler
than thou" crowd. Regardless of all
the high-sounding theories of total pro
hibition, after more than 4 years' ap
plied laws, local option can challenge
comparison In results. Local option la
a constant educator and accomplishes
largely what is claimed for It. Prohibi
tion professes to be perfection but Is the
mother of more perjury and hypocrisy
than any other class of laws.

Candidate for Judge of Circuit Court
Fights Case of Alleged Assault
and Court Reserves Judg
ment Till Today.
John Ditchburn, candidate for Judge
of the State Circuit Court, appeared In
Municipal Court yesterday to stand trial
for an alleged assault upon J. C. Mc
Fadden. a fellow-attorney. In the bar
room of the Kamond Hotel, Front and
Morrison street. October 27. So con
tradictory was the evidence In the case
that Judge Taswell expressed hesitancy
to decide it and reserved Judgment until
today.
Shrimps, not politics, were the moving
cause of the Imbroglio, declared Dltcn
burn, in testifying In his own behalf.
It waa when McFadden smeared with
the Juice of those succulent crustaceans
the shiny and clerical broadcloth which
the candidate for Judge affects, that the
trouble commenced.
Ditchburn said that, on account of an
old feud between them, he had endeav
ored to avoid the Esmond Hotel when
McFadden was there, but upon the day
at Issue he went In to transact some
business with I P. Branstetter and en.
countered his enemy.
Fish Dinner Starts Trouble.
Branstetter. McFadden, Charles Carl-
eon and C. W. Hayes were enjoying a
refection of shrimp In the back of the
barroom and, when Ditchburn saw Mc
Fadden. he took him to task for writing
a letter to Judge Gatens In which Ditch
burn waa attacked.
Then, he say. McFadden put out his
hand to shove him aside, and In so do
ing smeared his immaculate coat with
the Juice of the fish. That aroused his
Ire. and he drew back to strike, but was
prevented by Branstetter. who forced
him out of the room. Branstetter's hands,
also, were covered with the Juice, and in
the outcome Ditchburn s coat waa plen
tifully soiled. He had a mortal antip
athy to the smell, he said, ana tneroDy
lost his temper.
The testimony of the witnesses for the
prosecution nut a different color upon
the case. McFadden was called first
and said that this was the second time
that Ditfhburn had assaulted him.
nraviouB attack having been made In
the Courthouse, it was oecause ne un
grown tired of being abused that he
brought the preesnt prosecution.
Without warning. Mcraaaen eaia,
Ditchburn came up behind him in the
Esmond saloon, laid his band rougniy
unon his arm and. with an oath, said.
Ton scoundrel, what did you write that
letter to Judge Gatens forT" McFadden
drew away, he said, whereupon Ditch
burn struck him a stinging mow upon
the cheek.
