FRITZ LICENSE IS
SAVED FOR WEEK
Mr. Kellaher Objects to Early
Revocation of Permit, While
Others Would Act at Once.
EX-MAYOR ALBEE TALKS
Police Testify That They Sat In
Games in Report and Sold to
House All Chips Won Open
Town Report Related.
City Commissioner Kellaher yester'
day stopped the City Council, tem
porarily, from revoking the license of
the fritz ool and card rooms in the
North End for permitting gambling-.
Mr. Kellaher interposed an objection
to the passage of the ordinance, and
It, therefore, had to go over until a
week from today n spite of the fact
that every other member of the Coun
cil favored putting the place out of
business forthwith.
The move against the pool and card
room was made after the Council had
spent nearly three hours in listening
to testimony and arguments about the
methods employed in the place.
It was said that the "house" Issued
B-cent merchandise checks, which were
used by the players as a stake in the
game. The winner of the poker game
took all the checks and the loser paid
for them at the rate of 6 cents for
each play in the game. The "house"
then purchased the checks back at the
rate of three for 10 cents, or took
them back at their face value for
mrechandise.
Officers Find Professionals.
Policemen testified that they had sat
in the games and had sold the checks
afterward. Also they testified that the
place was stocked with card sharks
or professional card players or "boost
ers" who kept the games moving. Also,
It was testified, men were employed to
buy back the checks at tne rate of
three for 10 cents after they had been
purchased at the rate of 5 cents each.
Patrolman Hunt said he sat in a
game recently in which he had won
checks and had sold them to the house.
He and Patrolman Wellbrook testified
that there were professional card play
ers or "sharks" in the place prac
tically all of the time.
Ex-Mayor Albee was put on the wit
ness stand and told that he as Mayor
had allowed the establishment to run
because of the large numbers of men
In the district who were better off in
the place than on the streets, and that
he had given at least two warnings to
the place against buying back the
checks or allowing tho players to
gamble for them.
House Warned. Say Police.
"Nobody could have wanted a better
proposition even in Portland's palmy
days," declared Mayor Baker. "If we
permitted that, every vacant building
in the city soon would be a cardroom."
Police Inspector Clark testified that
he warned Mr. Fritz, proprietor of the
establishment, that if the house bought
back the checks or allowed their use
for anything except merchandise, they
would be closed up.
Jack King, formerly an employe of
the place, on being called to the stand
by Mr. fritz, testified that formerly
the plan was to give every man in
the game one check at the expense of
the loser.
"When Mayor Baker took office," he
said, "the game was changed to 'Dyna
mite stud' and the loser paid, the win
ner took all the checks and the house
bought them back."
Mayor Baker asked Inspector Clark
If the word had not been passed out
when he was elected Mayor that the
town would be open.
"Yes," said the ex-Chief, "that was
the report, but I did not pay any at
tention to it."
Wide-Open Town Expected.
"And that was the general Impres
sion around when this 33 1-3 per cent
rake off game was started at Fritz"
place was it not?"
"Yes," said Mr. Clark, "it was ap
parently. They were saying the town
would be wide open."
"Well, she's open." said the Mayor.
Mayor Baker asked Inspector Clark
If he would consider the Fritz games
as gambling.
"I would consider It a pretty good
game for the house," replied Inspector
Clark.
Ralph Moody and Walter Wolfe, at
torneys representing Mr. Fritz, con
tended that the gambling. If there was
any such, was done by the men in the
place. Mr. Moody contended that Mr.
Fritz should not be forced to close
his place because people gambled there
any more than baseball games should
be prohibited because people gamble
on the game. He also introduced evi
dence to show that the place has not
been making money.
Commissioner Kellaher declared that
he objected to taking away the Frits
license for both the poolhall and the
card-room when violations had only
been in the card-room. Commissioner
Bigelow declared that that was the
only punishment possible.
Every other member of the Council
spoke for revocation, and when the
question was called to Tote Mr. Kella
her Interposed his objection, which
forced the measure over for a week.
HEW SHIPS PROMISED
TILLAMOOK iAD ASTORIA YARDS
TO GET CONTRACTS.
Admiral Capps Declares No Agreement
Exists Whereby Oregon Yards Will
Be Discriminated Against.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 28. As a result of a con
ference between Senator McNary, of
Oregon, and Admiral Capps, In charge
of the Shipping Board's construction
works, contracts for wooden ships will
be awarded Feeney & Bremer, of Tilla
mook Bay. and George Rodgers, of Sa
lem, whose yard is at Astoria. The
Shipping Board, declining to make pub
lic any details of ship contracts. Ad
miral Capps would not announce the
number of ships to be given these yards
or the terms of the contracts, but he
gave the Senator positive assurance
that these two yards would be awarded
contracts on which they bid some time
ago.
Admiral Capps added, however, that
hereafter the Shipping Board Is going
to concentrate on steel ships and will
let very few more contracts for
wooden ships.
He went on to explain that the
troubles between wooden shipbuilders
and labor were In a large measure re
sponsible for the curtailment of the
wooden-ship programme, although ha
admitted frankly the preference of the
Board for steel ships. Yards that are
now bidding, he said, as well as some
yards having some wooden-ship con
tracts, have reported that their men
will not work the lumber furnished be
cause it comrs from non-union camps.
The Shipping Board, he made plain,
will not get into this wrangle, and only
when a yard can show that its relations
with labor are such that work can be
pushed without interruption will it re
ceive contracts in the future.
Senator McNary laid before Admiral
Capps a mass of data he has collected
showing the financial and business re
sponsibility of the two yards above
named and also assurance that they
could complete ships in contract time.
Inasmuch as both of these yards have
gone to considerable expense to pre
pare for Government work on promises
held out by the old Shipping Board, and
inasmuch as they are sound concerns,
properly backed, the Senator protested
against further delay in awarding them
contracts.
Admiral Capps was forced to admit
that they deserved recognition, and
said contracts would be given both
yards at once.
Senator McNary also wanted to know
of Admiral Capps whether any arrange
ment such as proposed by Washington
state steel yards, which would operate
to bar Oregon yards from receiving
contracts, had been approved by the
Board. Admiral Capps said positively
no such agreement had been entered
into by the Board, and further declared
that there was to be no discrimination
against Oregon steel shipyards. He ad
mitted having reports showing that
Oregon steel yards were fully capable
of building steel ships for the Govern
ment, and Intimated that they would
get fair treatment from the Govern
ment. He is looking into the complaint
of J. R. Bowles, of Portland, and will
advise the Senator in that matter
within a day or two.
PROSECUTION HAY STOP
LAND FRAUD CASE RESTS ON VA
LIDITY OP SIGNATURES.
States Said to Be Working on Theory
That Transfers Were Made on
Names t Fictitious Persons.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 28. (Special.)
Whether the Pacific T,and and Live
stock land fraud orosecution will be
continued depends almost entirely
upon the report of handwriting ex
perts who now are examining signa
tures in the case. This became known
Monday upon the return of A. O. Bailey,
Assistant Attorney-General, from San
Francisco and Sacramento, where he
has been examining into evidence re
lating to the case.
The State Land Board has authorized
the Investigations into the cases to go
ahead, the investigations being along
the line of determining whether there
is sufficient evidence to attempt to re
turn to the state many thousands of
acres of land now held by Miller and
Lux In Harney and Grant counties.
It Is understood that the state Is de
veloping a new theory in connection
with the case. This is that a number
of the signatures appearing in the al
leged fraudulent transfers of years ago
were signatures of persons who did not
exist.

HEW BUSINESS SEEN
Chamber Goes After Matter of
Equipping Ships Here.
BIG VOLUME IS INVOLVED
Portland in Line for Increased
Amount of New Trade as Result
of Determined Effort to Se
cure Accessory Contracts.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
is going after the shiy accessory bust
ness for Portland manufacturers. Sec
retary Dodson said yesterday that
every effort is being made, to get the
Shipping Board to state a policy regard
ing ship contracts, and to include all
details of the ship in the one contract
If this were accomplished it would
mean an Immense volume of business
for local manufacturers and merchants,
for the equipment of a deep-sea ship
is a good proportion of the total cost
and would mean a big new avenue of
revenue for local men.
. Several local plants Interested in
making equipment have been watching
this phase of the work with Interest
because no policy has as yet been an
nounced, and the investment to make
the equipment was In some cases a
big sum.
"We know for a fact that in many
cases contracts for equipment have
been let in the East, and there Is a
possibility that the Government will
let more of the contracts for equip
ment in the East unless we are able
to exert the proper influence to have
the work done here," said Mr. Dodson.
"We are straining every energy to
have the Government consider the local
men in all this work, and we believe
that the next contracts will, indeed,
give the local men the opportunity
they desire, as It seems to be settled
that the next agreements signed by
the Shipping Board will be for the
delivery of completed vessels.
"The telegrams which we received
yesterday Indicate as much, but we
are still awaiting definite information
about the plans of the Shipping Board.

RANKS TO GET CHANGE
OFFICERS TO BE TRAINED FROM
NATIONAL ARMY.
Government Plans to Establish Schools
at Each of Divisional Camps
of Country.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Enlisted
men of the National Army, National
Guard and regular Army will receive
every opportunity to fit themselves for
commissions, it was learned today.
This Is in line with the policy of the
Government to take no more officers
from civil life after the second series
of officers' training camps, now in
progress, has been completed. There
after all additional officers needed will
be found in the ranks of the various
branches of the war Army.
To carry out this plan it has virtu
ally been decided to establish an of
ficers' school at each of the divisional
training camps. Men from the ranks
who show special qualifications will be
sent to these schools. With staffs of
French and British officers of experi
ence on the firing lines on duty at each
camp as advisers, an unusual opportun
ity for lecture courses will be pre
sented. The divisional officer camps will
make the third series of such camps
arranged by the War Department to
provide men to command the enormous
forces being raised for the war. No
line commissions will- be granted to
men from civil life after they are start
ed, except that a few men who were de
nied admission to the other camps.
through loss of their orders in the mail
or some other mischance, may be given
an opportunity in the third series.
PAVING STOPS FOB YEAR
CLACKAMAS COTJNTT LAYS FOUR
MILES OF HARD SURFACE.
Fundi Remain to Grade Four Miles
North of Marlon County Line for
State Highway Work.
OREGON CITY. Or., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Clackamas County has complet
ed Its road-paving programme for the
year with the laying of the final piece
of hard surface on the River road be
tween Concord Station and the H. G.
Starkweather property. This makes a
total of four miles which has been
paved this Summer.
It has been found necessary by the
county commissioners to cease opera
tions for the year because of grading
on Pacific Highway, work on which
started today.
Although there is still money in the
road-paving fund, this will have to be
used for the sub-grading of the five
miles north of the Marion County line.
The state road bond was not expected
when the county budget was made out
and no allowance was made for the
grading of roads to be paved by the
state. Hence, when the paving of this
five-mile stretch was authorized. It
was found necessary to transfer funds
from the paving budget.
This work was let by the State Board
of Highway Commissioners to the
Hassam Paving Company on force ac
count and Is expected to cost in the
neighborhood of $30,000.
