of tha same aire, and It was In the
battle to keep the latter from belna;
diverted from the path of virtue that
the other artrl and the two policemen
stated an amateur drama that was
plave.l without a falter.
When Gertrude Pohl was first
tempted by the Ollverei pair she told
her eiperlence to Myrtle Marshall.
After; hearing the story the alrl said:
-Why. they are nothing but a pair of
white slavers."
.Mock Marriage la Snare.
Fha at length prevailed on her com
panion to lay the case before the po
lice, ar.d Patrolmen Taft and Acker
man were assigned to help her. At
the same time Miss Marshsll lent her
self to the approach of the alleged
slavers. In order to gather evidence
against them.
It was arranged that the two police
men should take a room la tha Barton
Motel, nest to that occupied by the
girls. The plot opened Thursday morn
ing. Tha plana of the Olive res pair
Included a mock marriage for tha two
girls, under cover of which. It was sup
posed the fact that they ware minors

found to marry the Pohl rlrl for IS.
but at the last moment he demanded
lie and refused to go on with the cere
mony. Then, assert tha officers, a
tramp waa picked up to play the part,
but be. too, backed out. Aa a last re
sort, they say. Ollveres Intended to
marry tha girl, taking- tha name of bis
brother.
From tha first tha policemen were
afraid that the Pohl girl would expose
their plana, aa she showed anxiety to
communicate with Ollveres. To avoid
thla they gave out that aha had been
attacked by nervous prostration, and
then secured a uniformed trained nurse
to remain In the room and carry out
the deception. Even this waa npt ef
fective, aa Ollveres. on learning of tha
girl's supposed Illness. Insisted to Miss
Marshall that ahe should be sent to a
hospital.
Tie officers foresaw that thla would
place the girl entirely In the clutches
cf OllTerex. so they made hasty ar
rangements to place the girl In a hos
pital themselves. Then all their plans
were blocked by the stubborae of
tha girl, who refused to be moved.
Police Harry to Rescue.
She was finally persuaded by the
prayers of Miss Marshall and went to
the Good Samaritan Hospital.
With tha Pohl girl out of he wsy
.he pair turned all their attention to
Miss Marshall, who pretended to fall
a ready victim to their snares. Jt waa
arranged that the three should go to
Vancouver Friday night. In order that
tha policemen might have time to pre
pare. Taft and Ackerman Instructed
the girl to kill time so that she could
not take a car befora S:10 o'clock. She
managed so well that It was after t
o'rhn-k before her companions were
ready to start.
Taft. on learning when they were to
leave Portland, ran to the police sta
tion to give arord to Ackerman. who
was nailing in an automobile, with a
view to beating the streetcar to Van
couver and hiding hlmsel In a secret
place before the arrival.
All worked out well, through the
clever management of the girl, and tha
expose of the plana came In the Vsn-ro-jver
Hotel, In the hearing of the of
ficers. Tne Ollveres pair are now in custody
of tha Federal officials and will be
taken before the next Federal grand
jury, f-ffort la now under wsy to i
cure a position for Miss Marshall, who.
through the loes of time occasioned by
her work on tne case, lost ber place
as waitress In a restaurant.

mendation of the wsys and means com
mittee to the City Council meets with
the approval of that body. The de
partment will also have two new motorcycles.
John B. Coffey, a member of the po
lice committee of the Executive Board,
appeared before the ways and means
committee yesterday afternoon and
asked that the committee recommend to
the Council the appropriation of 1000
for the purchase of the motorcycles,
police patrol and ambulance combined.
and an automobile for Chief of Police
Slover. He said the police committee
had about $3000 In its fund, but that
this Is not sufficient for the purchsse
of this equipment. Ha said the patrol
automobile would cost about $4500. and
a seven-passenger car for the Chief
between $3300 and $300.
The ways and means committee de
murred to the appropriation of such a
large amount aa $(000 from the general
fund, but agreed to recommend an ap
propriation of $2000. to be added to the
$1000 already In the ponce runa. it
is thought that If the motorcycles
and the patrol automobile were pur
chased. Chief Slover might wait until
after the first of the year for his auto
mobile.
Chief Slover said the department had
four motorcycles, but that two of them
re crinDled now almost beyond repair.

Onlv their constant readiness for

family to give their balloon ascension
as scheduled at The Oaks Sunday aft
ernoon, as while the big gas bag.
which waa to be used In tbe triple
parachute drop, was being filled a wind
squall cams up which drove the fabric
against the trees, making ascent Im
possible. After vainly trying to clear
the balloon. Broadwlck told his audi
ence that It they would move over to
another clearing he would have a sec
ond balloon ready In a few minutes.
Ten minutes after the change waa
decided upon Miss Tiny Broadwlck was
swinging In the breexe above . the
crowds of spectators. Tbe violence of
the wind made a triple drop Impos
sible, but the girl seronaut made a
beautiful single drop, landing In Sell
wood. Sunday visitors at the Oaks, how
ever, were not as disappointed as was
the plucky girl aeronaut. For them
tha ascensions were sufficiently thrill
ing. Other aacenslons will be given
at :30 on Tuesday. Thursday and Sat
urday of this week, and Saturday aft
ernoon Miss Tiny Broadwlck will es
say a triple drop again.

Police Net Tightens About
Alleged Parasite.
WOMAN ALSO IS HELD
KfforM of Km ploy ct of Bartender to
Hare Klther Prisoner Freed
Cnder Ball Ar Futile.
Slover Foils Scheme.
Around Louis Sossman, bartender In
the notorious Burnslde street "bottle
house of William Margulls and now
under arrest on a charge of being a
parasite, bas gathered all the power
ful protection of the underworld, and
for two days a battle has been going
on to obtain the release of him or the
woman arrested with him on the one
hand, and so to arrange things that
the two may not get together and con
coct a defense, on the other.
Margulls In person has been almost
constantly around the Jail since the ar
rest, but so far all his offers of ball
have been met by Increases of the re
quired surety and additional charges.
Margulls hss been more frequently
about the police station In recent years,
and time was when his wsy was made
smooth and he had remarkable success
In getting ball arranged to suit him. As
a prosecutor of the flotsam of the
North End and a defender of those that
prey upon them, he was continually In
the courtroom, always wearing a
diamond as big as a pea, and aald to
be worth $1500.
Woman's Ball Raised.
Sossman was arrested early Sunday
morning In a room at the Hotel Levens,
sfter Patrolmsn Lytle and Swenness
bad seen Sadie Sanders, a woman of
the streets, hand htm $14.60 which she
took from her stocking. As soon as
daylight came machinery waa put to
work to obtain the release of the wo
man, concerning whom more solicitude
was shown than about her companion.
The policemen assert that this was
done that her prospective testimony
could be worked over.
Attorney Farrell. employed by the
defense, after trying for several hours,
gained the ear of Chief Slover Sunday
and protested against ball of $2S0 being
exacted from the woman on a common
vagrancy charge.
"That does seem rather cxtortlenate,"
said Chief Slover.
After finding out tha nature of the
case. Chief Slover saw Farrell again
and said;
"There was a mistake about that
ball, all right. It should be $500 In
stead of $250.'
Attorney Farrell had made all ar
rsngements to obtain the release of
the woman, but waa unable to meet the
Increase, and sha spent Sunday night
In Jail.
Police Hold Pair.
The battle was renewed In court yes
terday snd Judge Taswell was pre
vailed upon to lower Sossman's ball to
$350 and the woman's to $360. Patrol
man Lytle and Swenness entered a pro
test, and to block the reduction, (lied
a stste charge against Sossman of
taking the earnings of a fajlen woman,
and demanded that the woman be
placed under bonds as a material
wltnesa Then Judge Tsiwell consented
to fix Sossmsn's aggregate ball at
$1000 and the woman's at $500. -
In court yesterday Sossmsn de
manded a trial by Jury snd the case
wss set for Wednesday afternoon. In
the arrest of this man. with his power
ful connections, policemen say they
hsve struck at the very foundation of
the parasite business, and this appear
ance Is borne out by the extreme activ
ity witnessed about the station In the
effort to get one or the other of the
prisoners free.
FRAUD FOUND EASY HERE
Attorney Page Tells Realty Board
of City's Weak Laws.
That sundry loopholes In the law
make It possible for unscrupulous op
erators to thrive In Portland with Im
punity waa the declaration of Deputy
District Attorney Page before the
Portland Realty Board yesterdsy.
Mr. Page aald that fraud was prac
ticed among many dealers not members
of the Board but that the law waa
so lsx thst It was Impossible to bring
cases against Irresponsible dealers.
"We have Instances of crooked desls
brought to our attention continually,
but In almost every case the operators
have been able to hide behind the de
fects of the law." aald Mr. Page. "As
long as the law remains ss It Is. our
office Is powerless to d3 anything ex
cept with rases where we have strong
legal evidence. The atatute requiring
written evidence of fraud before a
prosecution can be hid snould be re
pealed. It Is the man who makes the
oral misrepresentation that we must
deal with."
Mr. Page referred to the McCarthy
rase, which waa before Judge McGinn
recently, aa an example of how far un
scrupulous dealera can go In their
transactions without being criminally
liable.
On motion by O. K. Jeffrey the Board
will request the City Council to adopt
an ordinance making It eompulaory for
all realty dealers to sbmlt to certain
tests before being permitted to engage
In ths business legally. Mr. Jeffrey
waa named aa chairman of a commit
tee to draft a license law to be sub
mitted to the Council.

ELOPING WIFE IS FREED
NEITHER SHE NOR HCSBAXD
ALLOWED TO TESTIFY.
W. Brannock, Who Found Hl Two
Children After Long Quest,
Loses Case Strangely.
rt .n amazlna- leKal jucarle. W.
Brannock. who aearched two yeara and
11 k ftoo to And hla elopms wire
and h two children, lost hla ease In
the Municipal Court yesterday when
tne cnara-es against ui
A. Lovegrove, her companion, came .to
trial. '
" Because the attorney for Lovegrove
argued sucoesefully that the woman
could not testify as to her conjugal
status, and that Brannock waa likewise
barred from testifying because a hus
band cannot give testimony In a crim
inal case against his wife. It waa Im
possible to prove that the two defend
anta were not married, and the case
was dismissed.
Mrs. Brannock. It la alleged, fled
with Lovegrove and her two boys,
from Taft. Cal- lnApril 1909. Bran
nock pursued, and for two years has
been going from place to place, work
ing' at odd Joba to support himself
while he carried on the search. He
located the fugltlvea at a lumber mill
near Sandy and caused their arrest.
Deputy District Attorney Henneesy
began the proceedings by moving to
dismiss the charges against the woman
and using her as a material witness.
Brannock. apparently desiring a con
viction against his wife, started to
make a protest against this action but
was hushed by the prosecutor. The
dismissal waa ordered and the woman
took the stand, while her husband, her
recent companion and the two chil
dren sat In a row below her. Attor
ney Haddock, law-partner of Judge
Tazwell, and attorney for Lovegrove.
hut waa overruled. "
" 1
"What Is your name?" asked Hen
nessy. "I object." said Haddock. "The whole
gist of this case Is In this woman's
name, and by her answer she may con
vict herself. While the District Attor
ney has dismissed the charge against
her, she still may be accused before
the grand Jury."
The court Instructed the woman that
she might use her discretion about an
swering. She sat mute.
"Are you a married woman" pur
sued the prosecutor.
Again objection was made, and tha
woman refused to answer.
"That Is all. The state rests," said
Hennessy.
Testimony of Brannock was exclud
ed on the contention that he could not
give criminal testimony against his
wife, though by raising that point the
defense virtually admitted the very
fact that was sought to be proved by
the evidence.
There still remained a charge of
committing an Immoral act. but Had
dock contended that the Supreme Court
had held that a gnin and woman found
together were to be presumed to be
married unless otherwise shown, and
this charge also was dismissed. The
litigants left the courtroom together.
CREMATORY TESTER READY
I. E. Otis Here to Supervise Trial
of Garbage-Burner.
D. E. Otis, whom Mayor Rushlight
has chosen to take charge of the offi
cial test of the new garbage crematory
at Guilds Lake, has returned from a
trip to Tillamook. Mayor Rushlight
said yesterday the test will probably
begin this morning, and that It will last
for four months.
"At least it will begin as soon as the
agreement Is signed," ho said. "That
agreement Is now In the hands of City
Attorney Grant, he having been asked
to draw It up In legal form."
The Mayor added that If the crema
tory meets the requirement of the speci
fications to burn 150 tons of garbage
every 24 hours, and to other specifica
tions to which the company agreed to
comply when It took the contract to
build the crematory, it would be accept
ed. Otherwise, he said, it will be re
jected. The ways and means committee yes
terday decided to recommend to tho
City Council for passage an ordinance
appropriating 11000 from the general
