WESTS 'SPECIALS
Judge Tazwell Divorces His
Tribunal From Governor's
Vice Campaign.
RINGO'S TALK IS RESENTED
Magistrate Declares Prosecutor Ac
cuses First and Gets Evdienee
Afterwards and Reflections
on Jurist "Last Straw."
Replying hotly to reflections cast
upon him by Attorney Ernest Ringo, spe
cial prosecutor In Governor West's vice
crusade. Municipal Judge Tazwell, in a
statement yesterday, marked the com
plete divorce of his court from the
state official's campaign, as at present
conducted, giving as his reason his
total lack of confidence In those whom
Governor West has placed in . charge
of It.
"I know little about Ringo," said the
magistrate, "but it is plain to see that
he has adopted the policy which has
characterized the whole campaign, of
accusing first and seeking evidence
afterward.
He knows nothing at first hand about
the conduct of my court, never, to my
recollection, having appeared there. If
men are to be judged by the company
they keep. I should have a very small
opinion of Ringo."
Court's Integrity Attacked.
The occasion of the retort is re
marks made on several occasions by
Attorney Ringo, reflecting upon the
good intent of Judge Tazwell in nan
tiling vice cases. Once before the police
committee of the Executive Board and
again in Justice Bell's court, the special
prosecutor took occasion in the past
few days to announce that Judge Taz
well could not be depended upon to do
justice in vice cases. For two months
past only ' a very few of the "Gov
. ernor's cases" have been filed In his
court, all the rest going to the Justice
Court.
Judge Tazwell frankly says that he
will not accept the testimony of
Thomas Kay or of Patrolman Stewart.
working for the Governor, "on a stack
of Bibles a mile high." He bases his
attitude upon long experience with
the men as witnesses, in the course of
which, he says, he has become
thoroughly familiar with their reckless
manner of handling the truth.
admit," he says, "that I will convict
no one on their testimony unless it
Is well supported, and as long as Gov
ernor West employs them it is just as
well that they take their cases else
where.
Examination of the records of the
Justice Court since the special agents
began taking their cases there does
not reflect very severely upon Judge
Tazwell's conduct in handling them,
though he has been criticised frequent
ly for lack of severity in this class of
prosecutions, while Justice Bell has
been thoroughly trusted and relied
upon both by the special prosecution
and the public at large.
28 Women ArrMted.
Since the special agents began prose
cutions of Immoral women there have
been, according to the records of the
Justice Court, 28 such persons brought
before that tribunal. Of these six
have been fined, the fines aggregating
9116; three have been held to answer
' to the grand jury, five have been ac
quitted, three dismissed without trial,
four have been continued indefinitely
and seven are pending. There have
been, in addition, in the neighborhood
of a dozen men arrested by the same
agents, with varying results.
The avowed purpose of the prosecu
tions is not so much to punish the
unfortunate women as to make con
victions In their cases the basis for
proceedings, some time in the future,
against those "higher up." The work
occupies the full time of Kay, under
salary from the state, and of two
police officers, loaned for the purpose.
In the meantime, there has been a
noticeable disposition on the part of
the regular police to leave this class
of work to the Governor's men, and
arrests of Immoral women at the police
station are at a minimum.

BALL GROUNDS IN PERIL
B. M. LOMBARD BEGIJTS STJIT TO
OPEN WILSOX STREET.
Thoroughfare Which Has Never Been
Open to Traffic Cuts Through
Field About in Center,
Suit to force the opening of Wilson
street, which passes through the Pa
clfic Coast League baseball park, be'
tween North Twenty-fourth and North
Twenty-fifth streets, has been institu
ted in Circuit Court by B. M. Lombard
against the Portland Athletic Club.
owner of the Portland professional
baseball teams In the Coast and North
western Leagues.
Mr. Lombard wants an injunction
perpetually restraining the closing of
this portion of the street to traffic,
t has never been open.
The plaintiff owns four houses at
the southeast corner of North Twenty
sixth and Wilson streets. These are
rented, and he asserts that both their
rental and actual value is impaired be
cause of the present impossibility of
using Wilson street as a means of
Ingress and egress, the only route to
the property being along North Twen
ty-sixth street. The street, he con
tends, was never vacated and the Mc-
Credies have no legal right to appro
priate It. A temporary Injunction was
not sought, for the reason that an
emergency does not exist.
Should Mr. Lombard be successful in
his suit, the value of the baseball
grounds would be entirely destroyed, as
the survey of Wilson street passes al
most through the center of the park
and grandstand. Efforts to secure the
vacation of Wilson street have hereto
fore been unsuccessful.
The baseball grounds are owned by
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company. The property has been oc
cupied as a baseball park for nearly
20 years, states George S. Shepherd, sec
retary of the Portland Athletic Club,
which has a 10 years' lease on the prop
erty, with nine years yet to run.
Previous to last year the McCredles
had a lease on the property only from
year to year. When they threatened
to purchase property in South Port
land and construct a baseball park of
their own, the street railway company
acceded to the demand for a longer
lease. The old grandstands and bleach,
ers were removed and new ones con
structed and other improvements made.
It is now considered the finest base
ball park on the Pacific Coast.
I don t think there is any general
demand for the street," said President
McCredie, of the ball club. "Every year
certain individuals come forward and
attempt to make us buy their proper
ty on threat of suit."
MOUNTED POLICEMEN HERE
Sergeant Flffe Stops In Portland en
Route to California.
Portland policemen had an oppor
tunity Monday night of renewing their
cauaintance with Sergeant Fine, ottne
Uoyal Northwest Mounted Police of
Canada, who was passing through
Portland on his way to California to
bring back two wanted men.
During a talk on the exploits of the
famous body of men mention was made
of the 600-mile journey from Hudson
Bay taken by an officer of the name
of Pedley, in sole charge of a madman.
So great was the strain of keeping
close guard of a howling lunatic
through all that vast expanse that
Pedley himself lost his reason lor some
time after he had handed his man over
to the authorities.
I know something that would send
me mad much sooner than that,
though." said Sergeant Fiffe. "I was
over at Calgary recently, where they
have two men condemned to die, one
on January 5 and the other on January
15, I think.
"Three constables have the duty of
watching those men in what would be
to me an unbearable way. There. is a
wire netting facing the cell in which
the condemned men are and the officer
has to sit in front of his man for two
olid hours and never take his eyes
from his face. Then he has four
hours rest and goes back for another
two hours."

witnesses, liquor is sold without a
license: that two members of the police
department are permanent - lodgers in
the house, and that two otners, ac
cording to the woman herself, busied
themselves in "fixing" a case for her.

defense, the two young men set up that
they went to the place auout z o'clock
Christmas morning, with the general
understanding that It was a place of
resort. They found Mrs. Morrison in
her rooms, and on asking for beer,
were served without question. There
were eight or nine men in the party.
When the woman iemanaett sj ror

plainclothes officers, wno proposed
that they should pay ?15 and let the

24 hours. Excellent, too, for croup,

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with

the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or

This is just laxative enough to help
cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe

The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on

Pinex is the most valuable concentrated

The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
