be thoroughly investigated by the

had a self-solicited Interview with the
inquisitors yesterday afternoon. Be
fore repairing to the District Attor
ney's office Mr. Sichel telephoned that
he wished to be heard and the grand
Jury, when so Informed, granted' him
the privilege. He was In the Jury room
for considerable time. Prior to. hi
hearing he announced that he Intended
to ask for a thorough probe of his ro
tations with the Police Department.
Police Captain Bailey was a wHno'S
yesterday afternoon and a call Is out
for Captain Stover, but he could not

sensational charges from bis uulult at

the Police Iepartment and the moral
Ity of the city, waa present yesterday
morning and. from conversations he
held outside the Jury room, it Is in
ierrea that he was forced to admit
his statements had been based purely
upon hearsay.
Vice Crusade to Bo Probed.
It became apparent yesurday that
the jury was delving Into the matter
or the premature announcement of the
crusade, when Ted LcmMng. a news
paper reporter who published MaheT
list of open houses, and Deputy Dist
rict Attorney llennessy. who Is, charged
Tiitn naving bared the secret, were
called into the Jury room.
Detective Ma her. upon whose Investi
gation of the underworld the present
probe started, was again a witness
yesterday, being In the jury room but
rew minutes. It Is known that he
Is under instructions to watcb the dis
orderly houses and report from time
to time during the life of the bodv.
impression exists that the Jury Is
about at the end of Its Inquiry Into
police conditions and that other mat
ters of Importance will soon be taken
tip. In a momentary lull of 'he stream
of vice witnesses yesterday. A. W.
Wells, chemist In the office of State
Food and Dairy Commissioner Balie
was in uie grand jury room, and It is
inferred that tho charges against the
state official of neglect of duty In a
recent trial In the Circuit Court will
again be taken up.
Perjury Charges Are Going On.
Persons connected with th- alleged
perjury on the initiative, petition of
Councilman Ellis for a competitive
paving ordinance, were la the District
Attorney's ante room yesterday, evi
dently preparing for a hearing on that
case. In which four men are held to
answer to charges of falsely swearing
to pages of forged names.
when the matter comes before the
Jary It Is probable Uiat the investing
tion will go deeper than the charges
against the four defendants, and thnt
a general probe of alleged irreguiart
ties In the fight for the paving ort'-
nance will be undertaken. This action
Is especially looked for since Elllj.
while under oath at the prellmlnary
hearlng, testified that he had bacn
offered a bribe of 13500.
At an early date the white slave
cases. Instituted by bherlff btevens,

from Burnside to Hoyt. 10 feet on each

and new proceedings to widen It 10 feet
on the west side were voted, when the
subject wss before the ssreet commit

There appeared to be too much opposi

the east side of the street and It was
thought best to try the other plan.
Several large buildings on the east
side of the street, the owners or agents
of which protested vigorously, became a

great. It was feared, to juatlfy the ac

Prickly pears, at 75 cents a dozen,

Application of the new tariff of the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
pany on the Springwater division, which
embraces the line between Portland and
Cazadero, has been suspended for an
other period of 60 days, which advances
the date to June 23. pending a hearing
by the State Railroad Commission on
the valiflty of the grounds which the
company advances for adopting it.
The new scale of rates was announced
to go into effect February 23. but the
State Commission held It up for w days.
which period will expire on Sunday. As
no time was had for a hearing another
0-day stay has been ordered.
In computing the new tariff the rate
department of the company figured the
fare between the terminal and between
Intermediate points on a baeds of 2
cents a mile. The price of commutation
tickets was fixed at 1H cents a. mile.
As a result the fares between points
near Portland have been reduced and
those along the Clackamaa River have
been Increased.
Persona living along that portion of
the line for which the fare will be In
creased are preparing arguments to be
presented to the State Commission
showing bow the Increase will work to
their injury. However, in the catse of
Lents Junction, for which the fare from
