CURTIS STEPS OUT
AT WEST'S DESIRE
Head of Penitentiary Said to
Have Fallen From Grace
-on trips.
B. K. LAWSON IS SUCCESSOR
Governor Issues Kuling Against Use
of liquor by Employes in or
About Prison and Lauds De
posed Man's' Efficiency.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Frank 11. Curtis syneriniendeni 01 tne
State Penitentiary, 'resigned under
pressure today, and following his res
ignation came the declaration by Gov
ernor West that there is likely to be
a bis shake-up among guards at the
prison, who have been using liquor,
and that there will be soma big
changes and more military discipline
about the place.
Curtis will be succeeded by Colonel
Burton K. Lawson. of Cottage Grove,
of the Coast Artillery Service of the
Oregon National Guard. Colonel Law
son served during the Spansh-Amer-ican
War. He was recently commis
sioned by Governor West to investigate
conditions at Klamath Falls.
The resignation of Curtis and the
threatened downfall of other employes
at the prison is said to be due to
"booze." Curtis left Salem about two
weeks ago for Poc&tello, Idaho, to
bring back a prisoner to Salem, who
had escaped as a trusty.
Wkerrabonts Not Knowa.
For several days he dropped prac
tically out of . sight until he reap
peared in Portland a few days ago and
telephoned to the prison that he would
be back to 8alem that night. Then he
paid he had gone up the Columbia
Kiver in search of two escaped con
victs from the Shellrock camp.
His long absence was attributed to
a fall from the "water wagon." For
this reason Governor West decided to
make a change at the prison. Imme
diately upon the return of Curtis to
Salem this morning he telephoned to
the Governor tendering his resigna
tion. "I am glad for one reason. I will
escape the painful duty of officiating
at the execution of the five condemned
men at the prison." With these words,
the deposed superintendent decisively
declared that his regime as superin
tendent at the prison la a closed inci
dent. Emphatically, be said he had no
statement to make, either as to Gov
ernor West or as to bis trip to Poca
tello, or as to anything in connection
with his summary dismissal and the
following resignation.
em Soryrlae Cartla.
The dismissal of Curtis came to him
like a bolt from the blue. He had no
knowledge of what had occurred until
u newspaper man told him over the
telephone that he had been discharged.
Immediately he called up Governor
West and submitted his resignation,
which was accepted. As a result he re
signed rather than losing his position
by dismissal.
It Is understood when the Governor
elevated Curtis to the superlntendency
of the prison following the ousting of
C. W. James that he notified him be
must leave intoxicating liquor alone
and that a breach of this instruction
would result In serious consequences
for the new warden.
At the time -of the Pendleton Round
up Superintendent) Curtis went to Pen
dleton and was gone for a number of
days. At that time he confessed to
having fallen by the wayside, and the
Governor extended another opportu
nity to him. Assured that his long un
explained absence, from the prison
while while on the Idaho trip was for
some purpose other than business
strictly connected with the duties of
his office, the Governor today decided
on dispensing with his services.
Governor Puts Baa on Boose.
Along with the acceptance of the
resignation of Curtis today, the Gov
ernor Issued a letter to the superin
tendent of the penitentiary that liquor
is hereafter taboo. This notice is as
follows:
This Is to advise you that the excessive
use of Intoxicating liquor by any officer or
employe connected with tne Oregon biace
penitentiary will not be tolerated. Any of
ficer or employe bringing liquor upon the
premises, eitner in, on or about nis person
vlll K rtlsoharred without further notice.
You are also advised that the use of
liquor by any officer or employe, even In a
moderate degree, and when away from the
Institution will militate against him should
the question of his promotion ever bo pre
sented to this office lor its consioerauun.
Efficiency la Praised.
Id an interview the Governor said:
Warden Bengen will remain at his post
and there will oe no iiaroeuiaw cuiusci i
the prison.
There U never anything I have done In
my life which has been so hard to do as
this has been today. Mr. Curtis la an ex
ceptionally efficient man. With work in
rnnnM.tinn with the Institution he has
proved himself highly capable and I have
nothing but praise for Mr. Curtis and the
manner in wnicn ne nas nunuien mo v1 -""
and the, men. There has been but one dif
ficulty at the prison and that has been
just plain, simple "bobse."
l nere are a numwr u suws, u - -ployees
at the prison who have been accus
tomed to Imbibing too freely and there will
be a weeding out among them.
Tfeia nAtii vhfi.h T have Issued to the
superintendent In regard to the conduct of
employes at tne institution i mean
word and I Intend to see that It shall be
.nf rtreed.
There will be no boose drinking In or
around the prison and wnen tne employes
. ntr Htv thev ere taklns their own
chances If they desire to drink then.
Cortla Long at Post.
Superintendent Curtis has been at
the prison since 1903. In April, of that
tau, he became a guard under Gov
ernor Chamberlain and was promoted
to the wardenship In July, of tne same
vear. This year, when Superintendent
James was deposed, Curtis was pro
moted, first to the joint superlntend
ency and wardenship, and when a.
question as to the legality of his hold
ing the two positions came up he was
made superintendent and John Ben
gen. former deputy waraen wa ad
vanced to tne waraensnip.
How Governor West happened to se
lect Lawson to succeed Curtis is more
or less Inexplicable.
"What Is Colonel Lawson s pontics.'
the Governor wa asked.
"I have no idea and furthermore It
makes no difference to me whether he
Is a Republican, Democrat or Socialist
I think he is efficient and that Is why
I appointed him." he replied.
The position of superintendent was
first tendered by the Governor to
August Huckestein, a prominent Dem
ocrat and cigar ' manufacturer of this
city. The tender was made to Huck
estein quietly yesterday afternoon.
After talking the matter over with his
Democratic friends Huckestein refused.
Political History Bared.
Back of this tender lies a little po
litical history. - When Governor West
was elected he promised Huckestein
that if any vacancy occurred in the po
sition of superintendent that he would
give Huckestein the Job, but expressed
himself as being favorable to retaining
James. When the question of ousting
James came up, the double position
which he offered Curtis brought out
complications which resulted finally
In Custls being given the position and
Huckestein being left out in the cold
Now Huckestein Is a candidate for
the Salem Postmastership. In addl
tlon, it Is highly probable the next
Legislature will put the prison under
the management of the State Board
and take it out of the hands of the
Governor. Should this happen It is
more than likely that the recently ap
pointed superintendent will lose his
Job. Huckestein evidently did not care
to take a" chance on losing the Post
mastership for what appears to be
at the best a short term as superin
tendent of the prison.
The deposed superintendent does not
know what he will do, but it is prob
able be will return with bis family
to his home In Portland.
Bridge Worker Injured.
A. Carlton, working for the North
srn Paclfio Terminal Company, re
ceived injuries to the head and a con
tusion of the eye as the result of being
struck by some heavy article. He
was working on the bridge, he said,
when something- suddenly struck him,
knocking him senseless for an hour.
The Red Cross ambulance conveyed
the injured man to the Good Samaritan
Hospital.
