Collins, Who Sought Out Bootleggers, Held for Is suing Spurious Paper, Tuesday Double Savings Pay at Meier & "Frank's SEVERAL ALIASES USED 18 Name or II. F. - Tucker Assumed When Appearing: as Witness in Prohibition Case Grief Conies in Motorcjcie Purchase. The perch of the "stool-pigeon" is a precarious one, as H. F. Collins, alias It. F. Tucker, alias John or Harry Coulson. can testify. While it is his boast that he has assisted Portland police in the apprehension of at least a dozen violators of the prohibition j law, conins nimseir is now in the City Jail awaiting trial on the charge of having passed a bad check. He was arrested yesterday forenoon at the Hotel Muller. Sixth and Burn side streets, by Detectives Coleman and Snow, at the conclusion of a quest for tho man who swindled Herman Schmidt, Fourteenth and Thurman streets, by passing a worthless $50 check in payment for a motorcycle. Detectives Coleman and Snow found the motorcycle at the Jefferson Cycle Company, 273 Third street, where Col lins had sold, it for $20 and a watch. I e of Alias Explained. It was Collins" proclivity at "stool-j Pigeoning tnat- Drought him to grief. In the dicker with Mr. Schmidt, who is a foreman for the American Can Company, he first save the name of jr. F. Tucker, later signing- the check as If. F. Collins. Mr. Schmidt re marked the discrepancy. Well, you see. I got into a jamb down at the police station the other day," explained Collins, "and I used the name of Tucker. That's why I happened to give it to you." A search of the Municipal Court rec ords by the two detectives and Deputy District Attorney Deich disclosed the name of H. F. Tucker appearing as witness in a prohibition case. One of the first arrests under the prohibition law was that of Pearl Schwab, of the Hotel Muller. who was convicted in January and fined $250 for a violation of the new Irw. Schwab and Collins are cousins, and the former charge that his relative acted with the police in securing the evidence that, convicted him. Collins denies the treachery. . . . Friends Procured Liquor. "Jle was the one who reported that I had liquor, although I kept it only for my own use," Schwab declared yesterday. "He did' not buy it himself, but he got others to come and get it, asking for a bottle as a personal favor. Why. he was here this morning, trying to get me to sell him a bottle, when the detectives arrested him." Collins freely admits that he was employed in the detection of prohibi tion violators, and that he appeared in court as a material witness for the prosecution. Kis home is at 6611 Mnety-fourth street, Lents. He is married and his wife is now working as a berry-picker at Albany. He for merly was employed as a lumberjack. "I don't care what becomes of me," said Collins despondently. "A man can't work when he's all busted up like me. I was hurt in a logging camp five years ago." Second Bad Check Found. Detectives Coleman and Snow charge that Collins passed another worthless check on D. M. Fleener, of 9128 Wood stock avenue, for $5. They hold the check as evidence against him. That he doesn't know his exact age. ueiween ana Zo years, is me singular statement made by the prisoner. an nwuy trom nome wnen I was 1.1 years old." he said, "and I haven't Kept track since then."

In a corked and floating bottle, found in the Willamette River yester day, at the foot of Host street, was a note that purports to tell of a suicide occurring nearly a month ago. Written with an indelible pencil on the reverse side ot a candidate's elec tion card was the message. The an swer. If it be other man a crude hoax, is somewhere in the Willamette. The note reads: "Parkplace. June 20. I shot myself and you will find my body in the W il lamett River at the Jennings boat house." The floating? message was found by Mrs. Archie McKenzie, wife of a nre lams, and it was turned over to De tective Captain Baty. The card upon which the note is written is that of O. W. Bastham.

ALBERS-WIN BIG SUIT DIRECTED VERDICT RETIR.XED IX ACTION FOR .-.0.000 DAMAGES. Michael MrGoonh, Plaintiff, Declared by Ju,dn-e - Catena to' Have Been Hnrt Tbrooith Cnreleaaneaa. A directed verdict in favor of Albers Bros." Milling Company and Henry Al bers was returned in Circulti Judge Catena' Court yesterday in the $50,000 personal injury suit brought against that concern by Michael McGough. for mer pantryman on the steamer Hono lulan. of the American-Hawaiian line. Judge Gatens instructed the Jury to return a verdicrt for the defendant on the ground that the testimony had shown conclusively that the accident resulted from the carelessness of Mc Gough rather than because of any neg ligence on the part of the defendant company. The verdict was returned on the 17th lay of Uie trial. JhU trial, was one ot the m-Ft persistently contested in the Circuit Court In weeks. The accident, -vhich formed the basis of the suit, occurred on tne early morn ing of February . 1915. The steamer Honolulan had arrived on the preced ing evening and had tied up at Albers docks Nos. 2 and 3. McGough went up town after the arrival of the steamer and on his return to the vessel about i o'clock in the morning fell through a bulkhead beneath the Broadway Bridge and beside the approach to the dock, causing partial paralysis of vari ous muscles. "BRADFORD" GIVEN TRIAL Insurance Companies Keoall I vetting Applicant Have Blanks. At least one particular of the re markable snarl evolved by Dr. William H. Bradford, who is believed to have been the missing San Francisco opto metrist. Dr. I. E. Axford, was discov ered to be fact by City Detective Haw ley yesterday. Before the disappearance of Dr. Brad ford from Portland and the correspond ing reappearance of Dr. Axford in San Franciaco Braitord solicited insurance for the Oregon Surety & Casualty Com pany and the Northwestern Hospital Company. Both concerns branded him as an impostor at first Inquiry. Yesterday they advised Detective Hawley that they did commission Brad ford to act; as their agent on trial, had given him application blanks on July 3. but had forgotten the circumstances, as he made no subsequent report. DETECTIVE'S NOSE BROKEN Prisoner Injures Mr. Howell Before Capture Is Kffected. So vigorously did two men resist ar rest early yesterday morning, that City Detective Howell's nose was broken before he had subdued them. The prisoners. Charles Samuelson, 87 years old, and John Schroeder, 54 years old. were being driven from a lodging house at Third and Burnside streets as the officer passed by. Both were drunk. As Detective Howell seized amueleon. Schroeder dealt him the blow that damaged his nose. While struggling with the two, the detective was joined by Patrolman chulpus. and the prisoners were subdued. With their heads bandaged, and the blood of the fray on their clothing, the men apoeared in Municipal Court yes terday morning, when Pudge Langguth continued the case for trial today.
