Governor's Action on Sheriff's
Appeal Antagonizes Muni
cipal Court and Police.
AUTHORITY IS IN CONFLICT
Alexander Rossi, Employed by Mr.
Word, Sentenced to 90 Days for
Assault and Judge Tazwell
Rules Against Executive.
Gage of battle in a four-cornered
fight, including Governor West. Sheriff
Word, Municipal Judge Taxwell and the
Portland Police, was thrown down yes
terday, when Judge Tazwell, on hearing
, that the Governor had Issued a pardon
for Alexander Rossi, instructed the po
lice to refuse to recognize it. The fight,
which Is due to ensue, will be based
upon an opinion of City Attorney Grant
that the ?tate executive has no pardon
ing power over city offenders.
Rossi was in the employ of Sheriff
"Word as an Informer and had been in
strumental In making a number of
raids Jn the tenderloin. Two women
who had been arrested by the Sheriff a
few days before, complained that Rossi
had assaulted one of them and he was
arrested by the police on charges of
assault and battery and vagrancy. He
was sentenced by Judge Tazwell to
spend 90 days in the city Jail and pay
a fine.
Sheriff Word" immediately placed the
case before Governor West, with the re
sult that a pardon was Issued yester
day. Having previously instructed the
police to ignore an expected pardon.
Judge Tazwell renewed the injunction
last night and the order will be obeyed.
Until two years ago it had been the
custom to submit applications for par
don to the Governor in all cases, but
City Attorney Grant rendered an opin
ion that this power.under the charter,
rests with the City Council. Since then
there hai? been no interference with city
cases by the Governor.
"I am going to stand pat," said Judge
Tazwell. "1 have not only Mr. G-aot's
opinion, but also a letter written by
Governor West to me in 1911, when he
accepted tho rule and expressed his
pleasure at having the burden of ex
amining these cases taken from his
shoulders. Unless they beat me at
habeas corpus proceedings or the Coun
cil grants a pardon, Rossi will stay in
jail."
SEVERAL MAY GO FREE
Rncrnl of Start and Wedemcyer
Decisions Will Affect Others.
It Is now almost certain that as a
result of the reversal by the Supreme
Court of the convictions of Dr. Harry
A. Start and E. E. Wedemeyer. prac
tically all the cases of a similar nature
will have to be dismissed. H. L. Tabb,
who lias been in Jail six months or
more awaiting trial, was released yes
terday morning with the consent of the
District Attorney's office. It is ad
mitted that the refusal of the Supreme
Court to permit the showing of acts
other than those specifically charged
in the Indictments will make it prac
tically impossible to secure convictions.
Wilson T. Hume, attorney for Dr.
star.t. and Attorney Neal, for E. E.
Wedemeyer. both of whose cases wera
reversed because of the introduction
of evidence of similar acts, yesterday
riled motions in Circuit Judge Kava
tKLiigh's court asking for the dismissal
of the indictments against their clients.
They take the position that the law
under which their clients were con
victed was repealed by amendment at
the last Legislature and that the au
thorities hold that a defendant cannot
be brought to trial under a repealed
statute. Start and Wedemeyer could
not be tried under the new law either,
as the offenses charged against them
occurred prior to its passage.
Arguments on the motions to dis
miss will be heard before Judge Kava
Mush this morning. Any decision on
the question would apply also to E. S.
X McAllister, who was convicted in
the same manner as Wedemeyer and
Start.

OAKLAND MUSICIANS TAKES TO
THEATER AXD DINED.
Concert of Heavier Music Numbers
Is Played by the Boys at the
Hotel Oregon .
A reward for good service falthfullv
and well performed was given last
nignt to the boys of the High School
band, which was brought to the Festi
val from Oakland with the "Royal
Oaks." when the Royal Rosarians enter
tained them at a theater Dartv at the
Kmpress and an after-theater banquet
at the Hazelwood.
From the day of their arrival the boys
have been pressed into service on all
occasions, and have marched and played
in every pageant of the Festival, in ad
dition to serving as a reception band
in meeting visiting delegations and es
corting them from the station to the
hotel headquarters.
All day long they played, almost in
cessantly; on the excursion up the Co-
umDia luesday, and on the preceding
day it was the music of the Oakland
boys band that accompanied all of the
serpentines and dancing that marked
tne opening of the Rose Festival.
This band consists of 25 boys, out of
an aggregation of 600 which is being
organized in Oakland to play during
tne ranama-racillc Exposition. Di
rector Smith expects to increase the
band to an even 1000 before the opening
of the exposition in 1915.
W. T. Buchanan, of the Royal Rosari
ans, had the Oakland boys in charge
at the theater party and banquet. The
block of seats at the Empress were
given the boys through courtesy of the
theater management.
Between 8 and 8:30 o'clock last night
the boys gave a concert at the Oreeon
Hotel, at which they played a heavier
class of music than they had been pro
ducing, in the parades and serpentines.
.Members or the band are: Curt Kuhn,
Shirley Martin, Irving Chinn, Grant
Snow. Claude Matthews, Guy Winton,
Wiley Martin. Melvin Lyon. Georee Gor

ing the proper method of helping to
wipe them out, are features of the
monthly report of the city health de
partment. Just issued. The report for
this month is the first to contain in
formation outside the routine city
statistics.
Following are the fly and mosquito
warnings:
The best method of swatting the fly Is
to prevent htm multiplying. Clean up. re
move all decaying animal and veeetable
matter aid keep the stables absolutely clean,
as the manure pile is the great breeding
place. The box or barrel of garbage stand
ing for a few days affords a fine breeding
place. Get the metal garbage can and keep
It covered with the metal cover and have it
emptied at stated intervals. The fly is a
very great ca.rler of disease. It is a great
contamlnator of all food supplies to which
It has access. Typhoid fever in many In
stances it traceable to the fly. Infantile pa
ralysis has been traced directly to the com
mon stable fly. Of course, "swat the fly,"
but better, by far, destroy his breeding
ground by cleanliness.
While the ponds have been liberally sup
piled with oil. this will only interfere with
the breeding on these places. You must
remember that any vessel which contains
water and is exposed to the open air will
become a mosquito breeding place. The
long, wet grass and the vines and shrub
bery afford a hiding place for the little
pests. The mosquitoes of this city do. not
epread malaria. Therefore, they are not
especially dangerous, but extremely annoy
ing and well worth making an effort to get
rid of. r
Festival Sidelights
A SPONTANEOUS feature of the day
was an informal parade through
the streets by the combined Police and
Firemen's Bands, headed by Police
Captain Moore, after the vehicre parade
had broken up. Without prearrange
ment, someone suggested that the two
bluecoat organizations combine for the
march home, and all adopted it at
once. Selecting marches familiar to
both organizations the bandsmen
trooped through the busines district,
over 60 strong, playing rousing airs
in perfect rythm. They were greeted
warmly along the line, disbanding at
the Police Station. The suggestion
given by the incident is likely to be
made use of on other occasions.
VISITORS to the Rose Festival will
today be shown through the
Union Meat Company's packing plant
in North Portland. Cars to Kenton and
the establishment to be viewed may
be taken on Second street. Uniformed
guides will be on duty to show the
guests through the place and to ex
plain its workings to them.

LIVELY TO JOIN TRIBE
BLACKFOOT INDIANS TO INI
TIATE VISITOR AT OAKS.
Redskins to Make Final Appearance
at Amusement Park Tonight and
Then Will Go to Spokane.
Daniel O'Connell Lively, livestock
commissioner of the Panama-Pacific
Fair of 1915, is to be made a "first
American" at the Oaks Amusement
Park at 8:30 tonight.
Immediately preceding the big fire
works display, Mr. Lively will be taken
into the Piegan tribe of Blackfoot In
dians by the Glacier National Park In
dians. Chief Three Bears, with two
live bears in attendance, will pronounce
the incantation and old Medicine Owl
will daub the San Franciscan with the
paints that will make him a blood
brother.
The Indians declare that they are
conferring this honor on Mr. Lively so
that they may have a brother at court
when they visit the fair in 1915.
After the ceremony, which will take
about half an hour, the Indians will
dance around Mr. Lively, and Princess
Dawn Mist will be the tutor of the
Commissioner.
Incidentally the Princess sent last
night to Ed Davey, one of her rescuers
at the Oaks, a beautifully embroidered
Indian purse. She had already pre
sented Kirk, the other lifeguard, with
a native belt.
Immediately after their performance
at the Oaks, which will conclude with
a war dance, headed by old Three
Bears, who still wears a Sidux scalp
proudly at his waist, the Indians will
be taken to the Great Northern sta
tion, whence they will leave at mid
night for Spokane and the Glacier Na
tional Park.
The appearance at the Oaks will be
their last public one, and the Indians
last night asked a newspaper reporter
to "write to people of Portland that
we have been very happy and pleased."
During their stay in Portland the
redmen have been the guests of the
Multnomah Hotel. At- 5:30 today they
will be Manager Cordray's guests at
the Oaks to dinner and will then pay
their last visit to the attractions of
the Trail.

Ill FOURTH STREET.
Northern Railway, opened the show at
the Empress yesterday afternoon, the
redmen themselves suggested that
they be allowed to go on the stage.
Thunderous applause was won by every
song and dance of the gaily-bedecked
visitors.
When the redmen completed their
share of the vaudeville bill they were
escorted to boxes, from which they be
held the remaining six acts of the show,
every one of which was applauded vo
ciferously by the tribesmen. Del Adel
phia, magician, particularly amazed the
Indians by making a canary, cage and
all, disappear right before their eyes.
"Heap medicine man,' exclaimed Lazy
Boy, old-time war dancer, at sight of
this feat.
When Julia Rooney, comedienne, sang
"Jingle Bells," the orchestra bells ac
companying her, the Indians shook the
bells, with which they are decorated. In
time with the girl singer. Miss Rooney
seemed to be the most popular enter
tainer with the Indians, her act being
the only one giving them an oppor
tunity to "join in."
Prominent among the Indians who
took the flyer In vaudeville were Fred
Big Top, Eagle Calf, the interpreter;
Lazy Boy, John Kicking Woman and
James Short Grass. Before the Indians
gave an exhibition of their war dances,
stepped to the accompaniment of their
tomtoms, each of the redmen was in
troduced to the audience by W. Griffin,
cicerone of the party. A round of ap
plause greeted each name.
After the show the redmen assembled
in the lobby of the theater and in grati
tude for the afternoon's entertainment
they Initiated H. W. Pierong, manager
of the Empress, as a member of the
Blackfeet tribe. "Chief Good Show" Is
the Indian name they conferred upon
the theater man. Mr. Pierong now Is a
double Indian, as he was made a Sioux
in Duluth a few years ago for his ef
forts In having water piped to the ex
position grounds where a tribe was sta
tioned for the period of celebration.
"Chief Cold Water" is Pierong's Sioux
name.
Rex Oregonus and his suite will at

In his department a few weeks ago of
second degree murder for the killing
of Nels Miller. The Judge will call in
the Jurors who returned the verdict and
question them relative to what mental
processes resulted In the verdict. The
District Attorney's office is opposed to
this. Deputies Murphy and Collier, who
prosecuted Young, declaring that the
Judge has no right to do It.
When the verdict was reported there
was appended a recommendation that
mercy be shown in passing sentence.
Judge Gatens at that time told the jury
that the only punishment possible undsr
the law or second degree murder is
life imprisonment and then polled the
Jury, all its members answering In the
affirmative when asked if second-degree
murder was their verdict. Deputy
District Attorney Murphy says that
Judge Gatens action in calling in the
Jurors now and questioning them is an
invasion of the province of the Jury,
the province of which was to pass upon
all questions of fact.
"I believe they are trying to force
us to cut down to manslaughter, which
carries a penalty of only from one to
16 years in the Penitentiary, but we
will go to trial again before we will
consent to It," declared Mr. Murphy.
REWARD OFFERED THIEF.
Visitor Robbed of Watch Will Give
$100 for Its Return.
F. A. Walton, of 259 Thirteenth street,
came within a little of being a hero
last night, when he seized a man who
he thought was a pickpocket and Intro
duced him to a policeman at Washing
ton street and Broadway. But investi
gation showed that the supposed thief
was in reality a victim of thieves, and
Walton accompanied Dwight E. Clough,
an electrical engineer, to the detective
bureau to explain how Clough lost 200,
a gold watch valuable intrinsically and
through associations, and a ticket to
New York.
Walton thought he saw Clough hand
a watch to another man and believing
that Clough was one of a party of
thieves, drew the attention of a police
man to him.
Through the fact that the watch was
given him by employes of a Roanoke,
Va., waterpower plant, of which he was
superintendent, Clough Is willing to
give the thief 1100 for the return of
It and his ticket, and will ask no ques
tions. He is staying at the Perkins
Hotel. His home is at Ocean Park,
Cal., where he lives at 615 Raymond
