AIM IS AT CIGAR STORES Cut In Curfew Ace Limit Krom 2 1 to 18 Also Recommended Bnlld inur Inspector Reports Prog ress on Elevator Law. An ordinance prohibiting the placing of a bet on baseball games within the city was recommended for passage yes terday morning by the Council com mittee on health and police. It was ursed for favorable action by City At torney Grant, who sent In a letter with his recommendation, saying It Is noto rious that regular establishments for placing wagers are conducted here. Councilman Wallace moved the or dinance be sent to the main body with recommendation that It pass. Council man Jennings, committee chairman, was also In favor of this, but Council man Monks said he felt It might cur tail per5onal liberty. Later he was convinced by arguments of his col leagues and others present that the proposed law Is all right and voted for It. "I am not sure that I favor this proposition." said Mr. Monks, when the subject was first brousht up. "If Mr. Grant has any particular places In mind where wagers are posted, he should make the provisions hit them. If this law means that a man can't bet a friend a dinner or a cigar or some thing like that Just for fun. 1 will not vote for It. It would be foolish." Mr. Monks waa assured that the places sought to be hit by the ordi nance are cigar stores, where a regular betting scheme Is carried on. Tho committee also recommended an ordinance cutting down the curfew age limit from 51 to 1 years, placing men and women on an equal age basis. At present, the law requires all men un der 21 years to be off the streets at curfew hour, unleas accompanied by proper escort, and women under 18 years. The Vice Commission urged Its passage, as the police declare they can enforce such a measure much better than- the present one. Building Inspector Plummer reported that he Is making progress on a pro posed ordinance governing the opera tion of elevators, and the committee voted to give him all necessary time to compile it. An ordinance regulating electric wiring within the city was recommend ed for passage. It haa been approved by the various. Interests concerned and Is said to be an excellent measure. It will become part of the building code when passed. JOCKEYS OCT TEMPORARILY Ilookmnkrrs Contend Trio Have Not Bern Riding; Consistently. ALAN. Idaho. May 17.

UNION MEAT COMPANY NORTH PORTLAND, OREGON COURTS ALL RUSHED Deputy Threatens When Taz well Refuses Business. JUSTICES ALSO COMPLAIN Cases Said to Be Juggled From One Bench to Another Municipal Judge to Take Issue Before District ' Attorney. Judge Tazwell receded yesterday . , m i A smtftrtnln rrlmln&I complaint, leauinp from the office or . . . . . . .. n.) nc-eeen to the nistnci juwnrj, -" - -- Issue a warrant for the arrest of C. W. Fowler, a chiropodist, accused of lar ceny. This action was taken after Dep uty District Attorney Page threatened to call the munlclpa Judge before the grand Jury. Judge Tazwell announced that he would take the matter up with District Attorney Cameron, with a view to relieving the congestion In hla CThls was one of several tiffs betweefl deputies from the District Attorney's fflce and the municipal Judge. Only a few days ago Deputy Collier defied a threat of contempt proceedings in refusing to place before the court his evidence against ratrolman Maddux, charged with grafting. Deputy Collier than announced that he intended to have the grand Jury look Into TazwelVs conduct, not only In the Maddux case, but also In the ease of the domestic troubles of Seneca Fouts, in which Maddux is Involved as arresting of ficer. For several months a game of pass the buck" between the Municipal and Justice Courts, over the question of who shall try cases Issuing from the office of the District Attorney, is said to have been in progress. Tazwell is willing to receive all cases In which police officers are the complainants, and Justices Bell and Olson accept cases arising outside the city. But about half of all the complaints are in neither of these classes, and all the magistrates complain of congested dockets. Justices say their calendars are full of civil matters and that the presenta tion of one criminal case, if contested a any length, throws their entire sys tem out of order. They also point out tha they sit continuously during busi ness hours, while Tazwell Is at liberty aa soon aa his day's docket Is done, and usually soon after noon. On the other hand, they receive higher pay. Tho business In the Municipal Court Is Irregular aa to the amount of time consumed. On rare daya the docket is finished by 10:30 in the morning, and frequently there la no session after noon. When jury trials are demanded, or a series of raids is going on, as at present, the court alts all day, and Judge Tazwell also points out that frequently he Is called from bis bed to fix bail. WOMAN - SLAYER PLEADS 18-Vear-Old Boy Denies First De gree. Murder Charge. Before "Circuit Judge Morrow yester day afternoon Lew Torbet. the 18-year-old boy who shot and killed Mrs. Mar garet Bellalre because of her refusal to allow him to continue paying atten tion to her 15-year-old daughter, en tered a plea of not guilty to an Indict ment In which he Is charged with mur der In the first degree. It C. Kins, attorney for Torbet, urged the court to give still further time in which to prepare a plea, urging that the young man's uncle and foster father. W. T. Whitlock. who lives at Berkeley, on the Estacada line. Is still quite 111 and not prepared to go ahead with the case. Grief because of young Torbet's plight has aggravated hla condition. The boy's mother died when h was a baby, and he was the same as a son to the uncle. J Judge Morrow .refused the request, declaring that there was no legitimate reason for further delay. Presiding judre Kavanaugh will probably set tho date of trial In a few days. Harriet Bcllaire. the girl with whom Torbet was infatuated, has been re leased from the County Jail to the custody of Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, head of the department of public safety for young women. She was arrested Thurs day, to be held as a witness after Dep uty District Attorney Fitszerald haJ learned that Torbet's attorney was seeking to have the girl visit his client In the County Jail. STRASSBERG IS ON TRIAL Prosecution Opens In Case of Man Charged With Being Parasite. Sensational charges and counter charges. Involving public officials and many members of the local underworld, were hurled back and forth during: a two-hour session of the Municipal Court yesterday, to hear the case of Islo Strassberg, accused of being a parasite. Pursuant to a demand of the defense and an order of Judge Tazwell, Kras ner. Singer and Rosie Babcock, a courtesan, were in court as witnesses yesterday, but threw little light, except by inference, upon the motives for a series of raids upon the places kept by Strassberg and Meyer Kaplan. Wit nesses said that Strassberg had a bad reputation, both here and in many other cities, as one who followed upon the trail of parasites and levied blackmail upon them. It was asserted that his ostensible proprietorship of a restaur ant on Tavlor street was merely a blind to cover his other operations. Shortly after noon the city rested its case and the hearing of tho defense went over until Tuesday, in order that the court might take up before a Jury the trial of the same defendant and his asso ciates on a charge of gambling. JOKE THREAT MADE GOOD Visiting Shriner Taken to City Jail and "Fined" "One Round." A policeman descended on a knot of Shriners at the Portland Hotel yester day morning and haled Harry Leon hart, a circus operator from Xew Vork, to the City Jail. Superior W. I.

NEGRO LAWYER SCORED ATTORNEY DEMAND REOPEN ING OF SIMPSON CASE. Operations or Runners In City Jail Will Receive Attention at Hearing Next Friday. . j Scoring the conduct of Lew DawleV. a negro attorney who appeared for the man. Attorney John McCue appeared In Municipal Court yesterday to de mand the reopening of the case -of Hugh Simpson, a young railroad man from Ogden. convicted of peddling without a license and photographed as a criminal. - Operations of lawyers runners in the city Jail, which were exposed by the confession of a trusty Thursday, were again brousht up in this case. Simp son was picked up on the street by Detectives Swennes and Moloney, as he was peddling a watch. While awaiting trial in the prisoners' box. savs Simpson, the bailiff brought him a card of Attorney Dawley, and asked if he. wished to see a lawyer. Simpson replied that he had no objection to talking to Dawley, and was brought out for a conference. After a brief consultation, he asserts, Dawley ad dressed the court wltftout his sanction and offered to plead guilty on condi tion that no penalty should be im posed. It was so ordered and Simpson was taken in charge by the officers, who secured his photograph and Ber tillon measurements. Then he was re leased and at onco laid his caso be fore the members of hfs lodge. He gave Dawlev his order for 10 for his services, out of the 28 he had on de posit at the desk. Bailiff Padrick says that he took In Dawley's card at the solicitation of the attorney, "as he is instructed to do in such cases. It has been the custom to take attorneys into the prisoners' box at their request, and sometimes the lawyers managed to pick up several cases while conferring with one prisoner.. This practice has been stopped. Attorney McCue and Deputy City At torney Sullivan say they will ask the court to allow the widest latitude when the case comes to hearing next Tuesday, with a view to ventilating the methods by which business is 'rustled" by lawyers among the prisoners. Dawley was one of the attorneys mentioned Thursday in a confession by Louie Anderson, a trusty, caught in the act of soliciting business among prisoners. Industries of All Kinds I-nltpd Railways.
