CHIEF FORCED TO ACT
Sends Out His Policemen in Plain
Clothes to Run Down the
Crooks Who Arc In
festing the City.
ASSISTING THE DETECTIVES.
Chief of Police Grltzmacher finds that
'he cannot control the headquarters staff
of detectives so as to keep doom crime
In Portland, and Is obliged to detail
patrolmen to work In plain clothes to
assist the high-salaried sleuths.
Thece are the patrolmen Chief- Gtitz.
xnachcr has named to assist: Kay.
Jones. Hlllyer. Burke, Anderson. In
addition to these, the police captains
frequently do detective duty, often as
sign their eergeants to such -work, and
It Is common for them to call In of
ficers from beats to do detective work.
This Is especially true during hours of
dutyfor the second relief, when etaft
detectives slumber and dream of re
warda and Increased salaries.
Seven detectives, drawing large salaries
from the city, are unable. It seems, to
accomplish the work for which they wero
appdintcd. In addition to the regular
headquarterstaff, Chief Grltzmacher has
been obliged to detail a special squad of
plain-clothes men. Increase of crime,
violations of ordinances by various classes
of people, and to keep down grafts or
divors kinds it has become necessary, the
Chief holds, to have these extra detec
tives. Police Captains Substituted.
In addition to a special detail of patrol
men to perform detective work, the cap
tains of police frequently And It neces
sary to take spins around town minus
their uniforms, or to dispatch their serj
gcants on detective duty. Frequently,
also, the captains call iu patrolmen from
their beats, order them into civilian
clothes and send them out to do detective
work. This Is especially true of the sec
ond relief, commanded by Captain Bailey,
ns during the hours his men are in charge,
Joe Day and his brothers of the high
salaried detective staff are slumbering on
downy beds.
An unwritten law of great strength and
wonderful duration, long In "vogue here,
says -that It Is against the good' of the
staff for any member to work after 11 P.
M., so the stations are without staff de
tectives all night. In cases-of burglaries,
robberies, "blown" eafes or other crimes
demanding immediate attention, it Is up
to the commanding officer to provide
means to capture, if possible, the perpe
trators. Xo staff detectives arc to be
had.
Regarded as Strange.
In. police circles It Is regarded as strange
that seven staff detectives "cannot take
care of the work devolving upon them,
and for which, it Is supposed, they are
paid. It Is pointed out, however, that
their time is quite largely occupied in
consulting City Councilman concerning
increases in salaries of detectives, such as
the recent vote to fix them at $115 a
month, Instead of $90, as now. Trips to
the old homestead, away down East, and
desperate chases after rewards also re
quire some time at the hands of the de
tectives. But whatever the reason, the fact re
mains that Chief Grltzmacher has been
obliged to detail special detectives to keep
down crime and clean up the city.
RETURNS TO STAGE
AFTER ABSENCE
OF A YEAR
EDITH ANGUS is to return to the
stage after almost a year's ab
sence, and her reappearance will be
gladly welcomed by the many friends of
that splendid young actress.
Miss Angus "was a member of the orig
inal Columbia Stock Company, and. in
the capacity of "second woman" with
that organization was immensely popu
lar until a serious and well-nigh fatal
'illness -orced her Into temporary retire
ment. Now completely restored to
health, she returned to active -work with
the Belasco Stock Company, and will
appear in important roles during tho
coming season. Most of her stage career
of five years has been spent under the
direction of Belasco & Mayer, who re
engaged her at the earliest possible mo
ment for the Portland company. While
not a native of this city. Miss Angus is
essentially a Portland girl, having made
her home here with her mother and
sistor, Marlon Barhyte, for more than a
year. She is a very capable actress and
a young woman of splendid social attain
ments, and It will be with great satisfac
tion that the local public will greet her
In "Audrey," Monday night.
COMPLAINS OFTHE WATER
Small Size of Mains Responsible for
the Condition of Shortage.
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 12. (To theDdr
Itor.) There has been considerable In the
newspapers of late concerning the condi
tion of the water supply of our city.
Many of our residents are complaining
and the cpnditlons throughout the city
certainly justify the complaint.' .
As a member of the "Water Committee
sf the Holladay Park Improvement Asso
ciation, I have had occasion to look Into
the situation and to ascertain. If possible,
the cause of the shortage of the water
wd the remedy therefor. That the cqn
iltions are bad Is unquestioned, as we
find complaints from a great many people
that during the hours when It is per
mitted to use the hose, no water can be
obtained In the second stories of the
nouses and in many cases not even in the
kitchens. I know personally where, for
several evenings it has "been Impossible
to obtain water in the basements of
houses for from one and a half to two
hours.
The cause of this shortage Is duo, not
so much to a lack of sufficient water, as
to the small size of the mains and the
large amount of waste, which Is going
on all the time.
These conditions cannot be remedied by
complaint to the Water Board, for It is
Soing the best In its power with the
money at hand. The remedy consists
solely in getting more money to be ex
pended for larger mains which shall form
the main arteries of the water system:

the city to the high pressure reservoir,
especially those portions lying on the
east side of the river.
Tho Water Department had planned to
make some such connections during the
present season, but owing to the Im
provement of certain business streets
down town, the money was diverted from
this purpose so that the mains could
be laid, and Inasmuch, as the Water
Department must make all extensions out
of the moneys which It receives as Income
from the sale of water, after the pro
portion for the sinking fund and the in
terest on bonds has been laid aside, the
extensions will, necessarily, be delayed.
The city has grown faster than those
who planned the waterworks ever Im
agined it could grow, and the only solu
tion which has occurred to myself, and
those who have gone Into the matter. Is
to Issue sufficient bonds, say J1,OX),000 to
bo cxpened In four years. This would
allofc'.. of proper changes being made In
the present system and the extension of
the main arteries so that sufficient water
could .be obtained for each district.
Another thing which is delaying the
extension of mains is the large number
of vacant tracts within the city limits,
tnrougn wnicn mains must be laid in
prder to reach other tracts which are
being built up. There are, no doubt. In
this city thousands of lots, each with
50-foot frontage. In front of which water
mains have been laid, and these lots are
not paying a single cent Into the treasury
of the Water Department. The rule of
the Water Department Is that main will
be laid as soon as possible when there
are sufficient houses on a. street to guar
antee a net Income of 6 per cent on the
investment, but this must include all
vacant lots as well as those which are
Improved. Some Eastern cities have a
tax of so much per foot for each lot
upon a street through which water mains
have been laid, and I think it would be
a wise plan if steps were taken to coUect
a tax of, say 25 cents per month for each
lot, as long as it was unimproved. As
soon ns a house was built upon the
lot, the 25-centK-per-montn tax could be
done away with and the regular water
rent take Its place.

Judge Cameron's Disposition
of the Case "of a Young
Californian.
HOBO SAID HE WANTS JOB
XEE F. STONE, MANAGER KOLB DIIX.
Lee P. Stone Isn't very careful he
will be listed among Portland's prominent
citizens and that would make -him staid
and settled, which would greatly Inter-,
fere with his 'business.
For Mr. Stone is one of the busiest the
atrical managers to be found on the list
and a traveler who is unhappy and un-
comfortable unless ho travels half wayi
round the world every year. Those who J
have enjoyed the Kolb and Dill engage- j
ment of tho Marquam may not know it I
but they have much to thank Xe Stono f
for, because he is manager of that splcn-
did organization, and has done much
toward its euccess.
As a director of theatrical ventures few
men have had a wider or more success
ful career than he. He was born in
Australia but is and has been for many
years an American. He has managed
some of the best stars of recent times
both In this country and abroad. He
calls Oakland. CaL, his home and there
has a. delightful bungalow where ho and
Mrs. Stone keep open-house for their
many friends. During his stay in Port
land he has become very popular and. has
made a host of acquaintances who will
regret his departure.
Records of a Day's Proceedings In
tho Municipal Court IVith the
'Sentences Imposed Upon
Various Malefactors.
F. Rogers, a young Californian, Is in
the City Jail waiting for Municipal Judgo
Cameron to secure for him a position
as a shoveler. On a charge of vagrancy
the defendant was arraigned In court
yesterday morning, and It developed that
he had been shifting from pillar to post
for several years, having no home. He
made the statement that he would work
if he could get a job.
"From what I've seen of you, I don't
believe you want work, but I'm going
to see whether you'll work. If given an
opportunity," remarked Judgo Cameron.
"Just go backl to Jail and I will get you
a Job, and we'll see what you'll do when
turned out to tackle work."
Back to Jail went Rogers.
Rogers Is a man of unusually largo
physique, and when asked If ho were
healthy and able to work he replied that
he was.
"What Is the matter with a young man
like you, who Is able and there Is plenty
to do, that you do not work?' queried
Judge Cameron. "It is remarkable. In my
estimation, for a man of your strength
and health to roam about, doing little
or nothing and living the life of a hobo.
Your clothes are the wprst ever; your
shirt is so filthy it is not fit to be seen.
It would mako a hog sick to have to
associate with you. In your present dirty
condition."
Rogers stood erect during the rapid
fire of the court, and cast his eyes floor
ward. He made no replies, except when
a direct question was put to him. Just
as ho waa about to be taken to a cell,
Rogers remarked that he wished he had
a Job now. It was then that Judge Cam
eron made him the proposition to go to
work.
Rogers said ho has no family and no
home, and, that he has been roaming
about to pass away the time for three
years.
Louis Grecnberg is a Roumanian, he
says, and while he waa on the witness
stand yesterday he developed a very sud
den Ignorance of the English language.
This occurred when Deputy City Attorney
Fitzgerald asked him If ever bid on any
goods In an auction-house at 63 North
Third street. Grecnberg could not say
a word, as he stated he could not under
stand. On direct examination, however. Green
berg talked rapidly In English, finding no
difficulty whatever in understanding
everything his attorney asked him.
Grcenberg was arrested for being a
"capper" or "booster" at the auction es
tablishment named, he being brought In
by Acting Detectives Kay and Jones
The officers testified that Grecnberg was
in the establishment Friday evening and
pretended to purchase a pair of field
glasses, but did not take them away.
Greenberg finally decided to leave town
and was discharged.
John Burton and John O'Keefe, race
track touts and undeslrablo men general
ly, arrested by detectives, were willing to
leave the city immediately, and' were giv
en the opportunity. Before discharging
them. Judgo Cameron summoned Chief of
Police Grltzmacher, who stated his will
ingness to have them leave.
Frank Spencer, arrested by Acting De
tective Hlllyer, of the Upshur-street sta
tion, was given 60 days In the County
Jail for having opium In his possession.
Acting Detectives Kay and Jones, who
have been doing plain-clothes duty for
some time, Friday evening arrested Joe
Le valley and Katie Williams, charging
vagrancy. Yesterday morning, when the
cases wero called in the Municipal Court,
Mrs. Sarah Levrton. mother of the Will
iam girl, took the stand and gave tes
timony a,ga!nat her daughter and Levalley.
The mother testified that her daughter
had been a. good girl until Levalley came 1
