LENTS ROADHOUSE 01JERS ARRESTED Secret Trip by Grand Jurors to Holly Lodge Results in -Indictment. OTHER WARRANTS PENDING rolk-e Department Is Blamed and Graft Hinted at In Report or Body, hut Evidence Is Held Intangible Cox la Angry. Following a quiet visit of three members of the December grand Jury to roadhouaes Christmas eve. Edgar Hollenbeck and Mrs. A. FItxgerald, nronrletnra of Ilollv Lodge, a resort near Lenta, were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Ie-onard and Bulger last night on an Indictment accusing them 01 sen tner llnttor without a license. A. Anderson. C. W. Helmer and S. A. Baker, the Jurymen who tasted high lite to entrap the roadhouse owners. Hoiie-ht llmtoe aa casual Visitors. It is said. and. upon returning to Portland, authorised the Indictment which ac cuses Hollenbeck and Mrs. Kltxgerald. Both were released under bonds. Five secret Indictments were re turned by the grand Jury Just prior to Its discharge yesterday at noon by Prealdlng State Circuit Judge Cleland. One of these bills is disposed of by the arrest of the Holly Lodge pro prietors. The others, said District At torney Cameron, concern minor esses. Jurors Hold Mysterious Card. The five warrants were turned "over to th Sheriff's office yesterday after noon. In addition to the secret trip of the trio of iurrmen to the road- house It Is known that a card circulated Ke on. of th reaorta. announcing it as th best nlace for "a quiet time was scanned by the dellberators In th .rand inrv room. This is lakn to lend color to th prognostication, d- splte District Attorney Cameron a as sert'on that other madhouses are un der surveillance. In the final report of the grand jury to Judge Cleland an air of mystery is noted In two places. After blaming most of the police officers for lament able Ignorance of their duties and ac cusing them of Ignorance of what is transpiring In the North End and else where, the report expresses the Jury men's surprise at the Ignorance shown by one member of the police commis sion as to "current events m the ponce department." The Commissioner chid by the dellberators Is not named. The other cloudy point in tne re port is: "it would be well for .he In coming grand Jury to give this latter Institution (Baby Home) some atten tion." When asked to Interpret the grand Jury's reference to the Baby Home. A. Anderson, a member of the body, said the Investigators felt that the management of the charitable In stitution had cleaned up the place In expectation of the grand Jury's visit. Another said that some 01 tne names were puny. Graft Evidence Slight. Asked concerning- th alleged graft Inquiry. Foreman Wheeler, of the grand Jury, said that slight evidence of graft b the police In the North fcnci naa been submitted, but that it was In tangible. Indefinite and investigation would have been useless. He also de clared that the report that Chief Cox had demanded the grand Jury to in vestigate his department for graft was buncombe. "Chief Cox." said Mr. Wheeler, merely asked me to make a special report concerning graft. I did not make any special report, as I did not find anything to report." Direct contradiction of Foreman Wheeler Is msde by Chief of Police Cox In a statement made yesterday. Mr. Wheeler has a bad memory." said Chief of Police Cox. "The fact is that I was one of the first witnesses called before the Jury, and at that time I told them that I wanted them to probe these graft reports. One of the members of the Jury. I don't re member which one, but I remember Just where he sat. replied that they would do so, and would let me know If they found anything-. Cox Is Indignant. "I do not believe that the grand Jilrors found any indications of grsft- If they did. they were surely remiss In not bringing: indictments, which Is what I have asked for all along. The report of the Jury does a great In justice to this department In first charging remissness and inattention on the part of the officers, and then. In the latter part of the document, after the Impression had been made, allow ing that we are handicapped by rul ings of the court which make It almost Impossible for us to get evidence In these casea. The fact Is that my of ficers frequently sj things that do not look right, but they have to consider the matter of evidence and whether they can establish their casea In court. If they make arrests and fall to cure convictions they simply make hemselves ridiculous and lay them selves open to suits for damages." Chief Cox was asked If he would repeat to th grand Jury his demand for a thorough Investigation. "I will not." he replied. "I have made that request to tiie last two Juries, with no avail, and shall not go about begging for further action. It would seem that the failure of two succeeding Juries to Indict anyone. In the face of the public interest there has been In the matter, should be sufficient to satisfy reason able persons tnat there la nothing In the reports." Alleged Robbers Indicted. The only indictment released for publication accuses Robert Wilson. Thomss Shea and George la Deux of robbing the store of Myer Wax of 22 suits of clothes. It watches, nine over coats and a quantity of other wearing apparel. Deducting this indictment and th bill upon which Hollenbeck and Mrs. Kltxgerald were' seised, four more warrants are to be served. The grand Jury's complete report Is: "Our attention was called by the No vember grand Jury to a large number of bawdy-bouses running In the city, harboring prostitutes and selling li quor without a city lloense. with little or no opposition by the police. On evidence secured outside the police force we returned 11 true bills against these establishments and understand they have all been closed up by the poll. al this time. "It would appear to us that there Is a lack of sympathy and co-operation on the part of Chief Cox and his officers In working with the county officials and the grand Jury In their efforts towards suppressing bawdy-houses and kindred evils. "Most of the police officers testifying before this body showed a lamentable ; Ignorance of bawdy establishments running for some length of. time on their regular beats, and seemed to be unfamiliar with city ordinance No, 4710 for the suppression of bawdy-houses, which reads In part: It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police and all po licemen to institute presecutlons for rthe violation of this ordinance when ever he shall have reasonable cause 10 believe that any person or persons have been guilty of a violation of the same. Police Are Handicapped. "It was conclusively shown by evi dence before us that these bawdy houses were selling liquor without a city license. This offense ' does not come under our Jurisdiction, but be longs to the police department, and no effort has been made to follow up the matter that we know of. It Is only I fair to Chief Cox to state that he Is handicapped by a recent decision of tne local courts whereby an officer who has bought liquor, for Instance In an effort to secure evidence, cannot be used as a witness. In view of this we would suggest a small fund be apportioned the police department by Mayor Si mon or the proper authorities so that outside help can be secured and ex penses met in securing evidence. "We appreciate the courteous assist anc of the Police Commission, but were somewhat surprised over the lack of Interest in and the Ignorance of cur rent events In the police department, as shown by one member of the board. We would recommend more diligence on the part of Sheriff Stevens In se curing evidence of liquor selling by roadhouses, as same would be benefi cial to the county. "We have visited the county poor farm and found the conditions there to be excellent. The place seemed to be clean and orderly and the Inmates well and properly cared for. Mr. Jackson, the superintendent, and his wife seem to be untiring in their efforts to make those unfortunates as comfortable as possible. "The County Jail we found to be clean and the Inmates had no com plaints to make. The City Jail is de cidedly lacking in all things necessary to such a place, and especially is this true as to lack of room. "Matters at Kelly's Butte are -as usual, and we have no comments to make In this case, nor In regard to the Baby Home, which we Inspected. It would be well for the incoming grand Jury to give this latter institution some attention." E urn SAILORS TO COMPETE WITH CREWS IX BOATS. . Motor Craft to Hold Sway in Afler- noon- Seamen to Partake of Feast In Evening:. Puch an enthusiastic co-operative spirit has been evinced by firms and Individuals on the waterfront in assist Ing to hold the races planned for Mon day morning between seamen of vari ous flags, that the committee reported last evening that the financial list represented $160. After a few addition al collections today the programme will be finally decided on. prizes fixed and executives of the Seamen's Mission in formed as to what will be available for the spread Monday evening, to which all seamen from ships in port will be welcomed. Today officials of the course will be selected, flags arranged for the differ ent boats and rules of the race and swimming events given out. In view of the fact there will be motorboat race in the afternoon, the committee desires to complete the satlors' programme by IS o'clock, and a prompt start will be Insisted on In the first event. Captain Nsnander. of the big coaster Bear. Is willing that his crew be represented, and if a bxat can be prepared the ship will be in line, while others may be in cluded in the list at Brown & McCabe's today. Yesterday the Portland Lumber Com pany contributed $10, the Willamette Iron & Steel Work $10, Inman-Poul- sen $10. Boston Market $5, Columbia River Pilots $5. Joseph Supple to Shaver Transportation Company $5, Meyer. Wilson & Company $5, Taylor, Young & Company $5. L. Oetlnger $2.50 Merchants Exchange $2.60, Ed Schmidt $2.50. T. A. Stewart $5 and C. H. Karvacque $2.50. Harbormaster Speler will have charge of the course with the patrol launch Elidor, and he wlil Insist that all motor craft give the small boats plenty -fit leeway, because the rules provide pen altles for fouling, and each coxswain will be expected to hold well to the position allotted after the signal Is fired. REIMBURSEMENT IS PLAN Proposed Legislation Would Pay for Tubercular Cows Killed. A flat rate of $25 for each cow killed by official order will be paid from state funds to dairymen owning tubercular cat tle if the bill to be drafted by a com mittee of the Consumers' League is made law by the State Legislature. Such bill was proposed at a meeting of the committee held yesterday morning in the offices of Dr. Calvin S. White. The other members of the committee are Mrs. A. E. Hockey. W. W. Cotton, John Forbls and Austin Buxton. Besides the flat rate It Is proposed by the terms of the bill to permit the dairy man or owner of the condemned cow to realise whatever sum he may from the carcass, but it is also proposed to make the bill stringent enough so cattle slain by order of the dairy inspector shall not be sold for rood. The members of the committee were In favor of requiring that the test for tuberculosis In cattle be enforced first about Portland, as bovine tuberculosis is centralixed here. It should then spread until the disease has been eradicated from the state. LAW WOULD STOP HANGING Representative Clyde Preparing- Bill to Abolish Capital Punishment. An effort to abolish capital punish ment In Oregon will be undertaken at the coming Legislature by Representa tive Clyde, of Multnomah, who is now preparing a bill for presentation early In the session. He will be backed by several others of the Multnomah dele gation and by those Interested In prison reforms. The bill will be equipped with an emergency clause. The stand is taken by Mr. Clyde that capital punishment has not served to reduce the number of homicides, as sta tistics indicate. "Legalized murder" is the term he applies to the present sys tem cf executing murderers for their crimes. Should his measure go through It will serve to save the lives ot a number of convicted murderers now on their way to the gallows. The abolishment of capital punish ment is recommended by Superintend ent James, of she state prison, in his last annual report. There are many supporters of the Idea In Oregon and Clyde will have considerable help in his support of the proposed law. DEADLOCK IS SEEN Selling and Bowerman May Have to Beat Third Man. BOTH SIDES CLAIM VOTES Presidency of Senate Promises to Bring Sharp Contest Dark Horse Expected to Enter Race and Result Is at Best Uncertain. Deadlock between Ben Selling, of Multnomah, and Jay Bowerman, of Gil Ham, for presidency of the State Senate may develop when the balloting hour ar rives, with a third candidate possible. This is the newest belief as to the possi bilities of the organization contest and is held by those keening closely In touch with the legislative line-up. Putting aside their respactlve claims to majorities; neither Mr. Bowerman nor Mr. Selling has more than 11 votes that can be counted on to a certainty. That leaves eight votes In the doubtful class. One of the two candidates must receive five of those eight votes in order to ba elected. Sixteen vote ase required for election. The Gilliam County man claims not only five, but six of thosa eight. Mr. Selling, on the other hand, claims Are of them for himself. Someone Is mistaken somewhere. Should each of them get four of the doubtful votes the result would be a deadlock and that is Just what Is being predicted by local pollti csl observers. Just who the third man to step In might be there Is no Intimation. Albert Abraham, of Douglas, has been men tioned end It is probable that he would be agreeable to Mr. Bowerman, if not to Selling followers. Dan Malarkey, of Multnomah, is also suggested in several quarters and it Is said he would be suit able to both competitors - should both reach the conclusion that neither could win. , In the Bowerman camp are 11 Senators who will likely stand by their candidate to the end. The Bowerman pupporters sre Wood. W. N. Barrett, lister, C. A. Barrett, Abraham, Chase, Norton. Mer ryman. Parrlsh, Burgess and Bowerman. In addition, John A. Carson, of Marlon, is looked upon as a Bowerman man. With Mr. Sealing are Malarkey, Fatton, Calkins. Bean, Dlmlck, Albee, Locke, Kellaher, Joseph and Selling. That is a total of ten. Mr. Nottingham, of Mult nomah, Is claimed as the 11th certain Selling supporter. But Nottingham is by no means certain in his affiliations with Selling. Thus Bowerman has a shade the better of the argument, with a basis of 11 cer tain vote and one probable vote. The eight Senators in the balance are Notting ham. Von der Hellen. Hawley, Sinnott, Hosklns. Miller, Oliver and MeCulloch. Both sides are claiming Von der Hellen. Bowerman supporters claim Hawley, Sin nott and Hosklns as well, while Oliver and MeCulloch are claimed by the Selling camp. Miller's incinations are totally ungauged. for, as a Democrat, he has In the past been disinclined to vote for anyone bearing the Republican label.
