In the Municipal Court today when the
10 Chinamen, arrested In a palatial
gambling den at :5 Everett street Sat
urday night, will appear for hearing.
Strenuous efforts were made yesterday
by W. W". Banks, attorney for the ac
cused Celestials, to prearrange the mat
ter so that the men under arrest might
escape with a fine of probably IS each
on entering pleas of guilty, rather than
subject the municipal authorities to the
trouble of prosecuting gambling
charges against each of the men under
arrest and secured by a deposit of J30

would not agree to a minimum fine for
these offenders and. If necessary, will
appear personally In the Municipal
Court to-lay to Insist that the China
men Included In the raid of last Sat
urday night are fined an amount that
he regards Is warranted by the offense
with which they are charged.
A few unfortunate women, undertak
ing to ply their trade In the outlying
districts, are being arrested and haled
Into Police Court. Disorderly houses In
the heart of the city are not disturbed.
The small army of maciuereaux that
Infests the prominent street corners of
tie business district enjoy Immunity.
When It comes to detecting these
leeches, members of the police depart
ment apparently are suffering from
Impaired eyesight. They seem to be
unable to distinguish the man with a
dinner-bucket from the man who lives
off the earnings of a woman. Just why
this oversight goes cannot be under
stood by those who give to Mayor
Rushlight any credit for sincerity in
his announced Intention of driving
these parasites out of the city.
Ivnnovan Important Witness.
Angered at the fact that when Kd
Iwnnvin, proprietor of a North End
saloon, was arrested Tuesday on a
charge of conducting a disorderly
house, he was allowed to go on hla
own recognisance without ball. County
Ietectlve Maher yesterday applied to
Julge Taxweii for a bench warrant for
Ionovan. Tazwell Issued the warrant
and Iwnorin was taken to the police
station by Patrolmen Stack and Lytle.
where he was required to put up $000
bail.
Ivtnovaa is believed to have some
evidence which Maher needs In the
coming session of the grand Jury and
the release of Donovan without any
ball to hold him In the city led to a
scurrying about at the station yester
day until Ionovan was brought in and
the ball put up.
Patrolman Parker declares that tie
did not get a fair deal from the Police
Department. In thmt he was suspended
without being railed before the Chief
and asked to explain hla conduct, tie
says he did not know of his suspension
until ha came to report off from his re
lief and his star was taken away from
him. Explaining the circumstances
which led to charges being placed
against him, Parker said:
"Charges preferred bv Mabel Maa
C"tl and Christian Kens against me
are wholly untrue and without any
grounds. 1 have at no time spoken
over half a doxen words to any one of
them. These young ladles got on the
merry-go-round last night anil hail no

when told, had to be taken to the sta

Investigation to Continue.
The graft charges against County
Wtectlv Maher and others undoubt
edly will be brought to a close this
morning when Arroand Fercot. Frank
Mlnto and possibly one or two others
will be taken before the County Court
to tell what they know. The final
hearing was to have been held jester
day by the County Court, but the In
ability of Fercot to attend on account
of sickness caused a postponement. He
probably will be on hand this morning.
In a deposition taken yesterday at
Seaside. Fercot declared that he had
never paid a cent for "protection pur
poses to county officials or anyone else,
tie said that when Tony Arnaud testi
fied before the County Court that he

the "protection Jackpot. "he must have

I'croot Make Denial.
"If Tony said I gave him some
money." said Fercot, "he must have
been crazy: there must be something
behind him. I always considered him
as a crasy fellow, anyway. He acts as
a crasy fellow to me part of the time.
Fercot's denial along with that of
Donovan to the same effect Wednesday
makea the whole proposition look like
a frame-up against Maher and the
others. Maher said last night that he
is going to take the matter up further
at once: be Is far from through with
the leaders of the North End aggrega

thing against him. bat which failed
when Fercot. Donovan and others went

Oregon, which offers one of the most
fertile fields for irrigation in the world,
has contributed an Immense sum to the
reclamation fund, and has received very
Ittle In return. The articles of Mr.
Howard will merit careful reading, and
will call attention to the important
part that Irrigation will play In the de
velopment of the state.
Mr. Howard Is accepted as an atitnor-
Ity on development subjects. w hue
he confines the product of his type-
rlter to development subjects, he finds
ready demand for his material In all
parts of the country.
His writings have been read with
eager Interest by people in the North

James Sullivan, Recognised in Port
land, Saja He Struck Fatal Blow
In Relf-Defense Oath to
- Widow Fulfilled.
After having been trailed over half
continent for 18 months by the
brother of the man he is alleged to
have murdered In Kansas City In May,
1910, James Sullivan was recognised on
the street yesterday, arrested and
lodged In the city Jail by Detectives
Moloney and Graves to await action of
the Kansas authorities.
Sullivan In alleged to have cut the
throat of Thomas Weeks, aided by
Herbert Cushlng. who Is now serving
SO-vear term in the Missouri folate
Penitentiary for the crime. The crime
was committed In the Kansas City
stockyards after a quarrel over money.
"our dai-s after the crime Herman
Weeks, brother of the murdered man,
who could not leave his wife In the
care of neighbors because he Is too
poor, took his wife and worked nis
way West, following on the trail of
the man whom he supposed to be his
brother's murderer.
Clew Found In Denver.
At Denver Weeks heard of him by
description, when Sullivan was known
as "Plckhandle Burns ana was impli
cated In a stabbing case. Sullivan left
Denver and went to Seattle, then to
Vancouver, B. C. to Calgary, Alberta,
to Prince George. B. C then to Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho, then south to California
nd to Mexico City with the oroiner or
his alleged victim only a day or two
behind all the way.
In Seattle Weeks nearly apprehended
Sullivan. He had followed him rrotn
Denver and in frequenting the labor
er'a retreats, he saw Sullivan. He hur
ried to the police station for an otricer
to arrest the man. When he came back
with a policeman Sullivan had disap
peared and Weeks could not pick up
his trail again.
Both were compelled to earn their
living as they went, Sullivan as a
walking boss for grading; outfits and
a laborer and Weeks as a blackface
comedian and character actor on vaude
ville circuits. Weeks, each day when
his work was done, wandered through
the hangouts of road and grading out
fits, looking for men who answered the
description of Sullivan. At each city he
touched the Information was given him
that Sullivan had gone on further. At
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, he lost the trail
completely for several months and only
picked It up again by an accident.
Petc1lvps Make Arrest.
Hampered by having to provide for
his wife as well as himself. Weeks
came back to Portland several days
ago and was out seeking a position
when he saw Sullivan on the street.
He hurried to detective headquarters,
where retecttves Moloney and Graves
were assigned to the case. They found
Sullivan on Burnslde street.
Questioned. Sullivan first gave his
name as Burns, but later confessed that
he was the Sullivan wanted for Weeks'
murder. He said that he did not kill
Weeka from anger, but did It in his
own defense after Weeka had thrown
him to the ground and was about to
kill him.
"I made an oath to my sister-in-law
that I would go out and get Sullivan
when my brother died," said Herman
Weeks, "and now I have kept the oath.
Sullivan and my brother were com-,
pantons from boyhood. They had an
old grudge for a long time over some
money."
