Iron Doors at "Aetna Club"
Encountered by Coffey and
Police Chief Slover.
PLACE ORDERED CLOSED
Tables and Paraphernalia for Gaif

mit Craft Inquiry.
Orrat4 under the ciiIm of the
"Aetna Club. a completely equipped
rambling den at 2JJS Stark street, be
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, was
raided and closed yesterday by Chief
of Tollre Plover and Police Commis
sioner Coffey. The place was In charge
of "Tip Ryan, who represented that
he was "assistant secretary" of the
club. The resort, which is said to hare
been started by professional ramblers
from Seattle, was the first of a cjroup
of rambling dens to be opened In this
city, had been in operation for several
days.
On Tlsitlnf the resort, the first thins;
the officials met with was a great Iron
door, capable of withstanding; any or
dinary attack. Passing this, they
found themseWes In a small anteroom
and confronted by a locked door. In
answer to a knock, they were admitted
to the "club rooms" after Ryan had
recocnlsed Chief Slover as a police
officer. The visitors found nothing In
the room. except a number of tables,
such aa are used for "21." poker and
other rambling frames.
Membership' Card Miown.
Ryan, who was the only man In the
place at the time, explained that the
"club" was Incorporated for social pur
poses, and was open only to members.
In substantiation of his contention.
Ryan exhibited to the officials a copy
of the constitution and by-laws of the
"organtzaion. also a membership card.
In form like an ordinary visiting card
and evidently printed In quantities. Hi
also produced an alleged "merbership"
book. In which all "members" were re
quired to register their names, he said.
The clubroom contained no library,
bar. lounging place, or ether conveni
ences usually found in clubs. Nothing
was to be seen but a number of card
tablea and other rambling parapher
nalia. While the management com
piled apparently with all the formal
ities of Incorporation, admission to
membership. It Is known, was easily
obtained. "Membership" cards were
distributed among "eligible" candi
dates downtown, and these were the
only qualification for admission to the
club."
"This does not look murh like a club
to me." declared Commissioner Coffey
to Ryan: "and It must close Immedi
ately and remain closed. If any at
tempt la made to reopen It. the police
will not only raid the place, but the
equipment will be confiscated. We do
not propoee to permit any gambling: In
this city."
Graft Inquiry Admitted.
Further developments In the alleged
graft scsndjl In the police department
may be expected at any time. Ieplte
the muteness of Mayor Rushlight.
Chief Slover and Commissioner Coffey,
It Is known that an inquiry Is being
conducted Into the affairs of the de
partment. This was admitted yester
day by W. II. Fltigerald. a member of
the police committee, .of the Executive
Board, who. when asked concerning
graft In the police department, said
"we are still looking into things."
"What do you th.nk of the charge
that graft Is bring carr'ed on In the
police department 7" waa asked.
"I think the department can be Im
proved." waa the response of Mr. Fltx
gerald. "What will be the policy of the ad
ministration as to a restricted dis
trict?" "You must Judge by our deeds and
acts not by our words." was the an
swer. "But. it Is proposed by the adminis
tration to drive undesirable women out
of tne residence districts and the
question naturally arises what are you
going to do with th-m If you do not
place them In a prescribed district?"
"You know what the law is." said
Commissioner Fltxgerald. That was all
he would aay.
I'nder the smoke of an anti-vice cru
sade on houses of lllfame and gambling
s.nce the Rushlight administration
took over the reigns of the city gov
ernment, vice of all character has not
only grown but thrived In the North
Knd.
Housea In the well-known restricted
district In the North End have been
occupied by denlacna of lie under
world since the antl-vke cruad be
gan, and the number of resorts has
multiplied with the understanding that
"It is all right."
Policemen In charge have said noth
ing, patrolmen walk their beats and
hear the sounds of revelry Inside, auto
mobiles discharge their passengers and
atand on the streets waiting for the
revelry to end and take their drunken
passengers borne.
(amblers have flocked to the city
and dissolute women have come from
afar, word having been sent that "the
town la open."
Officers In the Police Department
know of these conditions. It Is not
uncommon to hear officers mention by
name male parasites who prey on
women of the underworld. The police
nt only know their namee, but have a
list of places they Inhabit.
It Is suspected that Mayor Rush
light, before tackling the social evil
situation, will attempt a reorganiza
tion of the police department. It is
this suspicion that la causing more or
leas concern among the members of
the department. Equally Interested
are the large number of supporters of
Rushlight In the election who were
promised Jobs by the Mayor and are
anxiously awaiting for him to "deliver
tha goods."
toxTiM'ors HMDs rrtGED
Mr. Ixtla G. Baldwin Compare I'n
dcelrable Women With Rats.
Suggesting continual agitation of the
social evil problem and asserting that
the policy of her department la un
alterably opposed to the proposed re
stricted district on which several
members of the police board are said
to be working. Mrs. Lola O. Baldwin
said yesterday that If tha business of
the "parlor houses" was made precari
ous by police raids and continual pro
secution of housee known to be such
wa9 waved, the problem would solve
Itself and systematic efforts to estab
lish a vice district of proportions In
Portland would fall.
"It Portland became known to all In
ks nuslneaa aa a. bad town, tha change
In the number of disorderly housea
would at once become noticeable and
the commercialized form of the vice
would soon disappear. The fault so far
has been that the houses were allowed
tacitly to stay and they have improved
their oppotunltiee- A continued state
of uncertainty on the part of the own
ers of the 'parlor houses' and places of
assignation would soon make It so that
they would avoid Portland as a losing
proposition.
"1. both officially and personally, am
opposed to the commercializing of vice
and will fight any attempt to do so.
The establishment of a restricted dis
trict would be licensing the evil and
would attract mora of the undesirable
class to the city because; the persons
running such places would then be se
cure. It would be like setting aside a
certain portion of a new house for tffe
accommodation of the rats which one
would naturally suspect would come to
the house. If the rats found that they
were unmolested In the place set aside
they would increase and soon the place
would have to be enlarged. With more
enlargements and with protection the
next place would soon become too small
for them and In time they would taku
possession of the whole house. That
Is the way I look on any attempt to
license the social evil In Portlanl."

COW CREEK RANCHER SHOOTS
NEIGHBOR IX HOME..
Warning of ex-Owner Who I-oes
Farm by Divorce Is DlsrefrardcU
by Man Who Is Shot.
GLENDAIjE, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Henry Bangert, a rancher living on
Cow Creek, near here, shot E. B. Hels
ter, a neighboring rancher while -the
latter was lighting a fire in his stove
early this morning. Bangert fired three
shots, one of them hitting Just above
Helster'a right eye. causing a painful
but not a serious wound. Bangert, who
was but recently diyorced from his
wife, who was awarded the ranch in
the settlement, has continually an
noyed Mrs. Bangert and the Heister
family, who leased the ranch from her.
A few days ago while the Heister
family was In town, Bangert nailed up
their gate and placed a sign over it
warning the Helsters to leave the place
within three days. Heister did not
take the warning seriously as Bangert
was supposed to be a harmless crank
and had threatened him several times
while under the fnfluence of liquor.
Bangert took his rifle this morning
and waiting under Helster'a house un
til he arose, he deliberately tired at
him through the window, two of the
shots going wild, the other inflicting a
flesh wound only. Deputy Sheriff Law
son arrested Bangert at his ranch
shortly after the shooting and brought
him to Jail in this city.
