Jane 23. "Upon my informing him that this waa not the case he declared that he was under the impression at all times that the matter was formally up be fore you, or he would not have per mitted it to have been delayed as it baa been. "On several occasions Judge Morrow requested me to urge a determination of the application, as the DiBtrict At torney wanted it disposed of, and that something must be done. I explained to the judge that we were urging ex ecutive clemency and requested that the commitment be withheld until some action was taken by the Governor. "This the Judge consented to do, ex plaining that he considered it inappro priate to commit any convicted person while he waa seeking m. pardon from the Governor."

MORAL TONE IMPROVE PROHIBITION SAID TO BE DRIVING AWAY DISREPUTABLE ELEMENT. Will H. Warren In Report to Mayor Albee. Says Drunkenness In Room-lng--Hoases Infrequent. Prohibition not only is prohibiting splendidly in Portland, but it is driving out the underworld, according- to a re port on the city's moral conditions made yesterday to Mayor Albee by his secretary. Will H. Warren. The report is based upon evidence gathered by Mr. warren and. police detectives and plainclothes men. Mr. Warren reports that drunkenness in rooming-houses has been rare since January 1 and that there have been greatly improved conditions. He gives the names of 23 men and women who, he says, were notorious characters in Portland's underworld, who have left the city since January 1. The report says in part: Men and women from all classes of the underworld have left or are leaving here lor other places -where the laws either are administered with less severity or where prohibition does not Interfere with the full and free use of intoxicants. One of the most noticeable and remark able features of the new condition is with reference to the unfortunate women of the underworld, who, In spite of everything that could be and was done prior to the advent or proamnion, puea tneir trade tnrouirn out the city. Cutting: off of ample strong arinx supplies zrom tneir rormer b aunts has made it next to Impossible for them, in many instances, to live here, and, there fore, they are leaving for other places. Since prohibition became effective, in rooming-houses, where, on many occasions previously, tne ponce louna drunken men and women, they now find no drunken per sons and there has been a decided decrease In the number ot men frequenting estab lishments where questionable women reside. In fact, conditions have become such that drunkenness is en exception in hotels and rooming-houses. As to prohibition, it is prohibiting eplen dldly, and all that is needed to make it a first -class success is the lull co-operation of the courts and the juries. Some good stiff Jail sentences or roc kp lie "Jolts" for "hUnd-piggers" will be of great assistance in notifying the violators of the law what Is meant by its provisions. Three New Citizens Admitted.
