SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1900. . 9SSa 5E JOE DAY'S COIN .City Has No Fugitive Fund at Present. . BORROWS FROM DETECTIVE He "Will Advance the Sum Needed to Brlns Back From Goldficld, Ne vada, B. E. Vickcry, YVlio Is Wanted for Forgery. .DETECTIVE DAY. RANKER. There Is no fugitive fund with which to send officer to distant places for the return of prisoners, and on this account R. E. Vlckery will be brought back from GoWfield. Nov., to thl8 city, on a charge of obtaining money under false pre tonsos, on money advanced by Joe Day. Tears ago the City Council voted K00 for a fugitive fund, and the state agreed to reimburse it when used, to as to kep It Intact. This has not been done, however, and for more than a year there has been no money oir hand to use in oases of ncesltj. All prisoners who have been brought here have been returned at the expense of the officer who made the trJp or the complaining witness, with the understanding that they will be reimbursed In due season. Many are still waiting for their money. Portland's fugitive fund Is exhausted, the slate has failed to reimburse It and tlu're is ho money at the jjommand of iActlng Chief of Police Grltzmaeher with -which to dispatch an officer to Goldfield. New. to brins back to this city B. E. Vickcry on a. charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. Therefore Joe Day will advance it. K.or a time -there was a first-class pros pect that Viekory would escape prosecu tion because there is no money at hand to use In bringing him to Portland for trial. He "is characterized by local offi cials and men who knew him, as a clever fraud. His particular style of swindling Is .aid to have been by moans of bogus checks. He worked into the conflcUnee of hln alleged victims by presenting a card of membership In the Olympta. "Wash., lodge of Elks. Frank Griffith, a saloonkeeper, is the complaining witness. He caused the is suance of a warrant, and Vlckery was arrested and Is being held, pending the instructions of the local police. Captain of Detectives Bruin first announced that he would make the trip after Vlckery, but during the day lie changed his mind and decided to send Staff Detective Dnj. Day is the riches man on the head quarters detective staff. He has ad vanced oxpense money amounting to quite -a sum in making other long trips, and is said to have wearied of waiting for the Ktate to reimburse film. Vlckery Is alleged to have cashed sev eral worthless checks while in this city, among his victims being John B. Coffey, a tailor; Frank Griffith, saloonkeeper; "William Grant, cigar merchant, and the Gevurtz Furniture Company. FRED I PERIS RELEASED CHARED WITH ESIHI2.ZL.i:MI3NT AT SA1I' I..VKIC It I" Said Effort "Vn Made to Collect Civil Debt by. Criminal ' ProccsN It is said, that the authorities at Salt lake caused the arrest of Fred E. Perkins in this city to collect a civil dobt by means of the criminal process. Perkins. .'luce coming to Portland, has been engaged In the automobile busi ness. He was arrested more than a month ago on a warrant from Salt L.akc on a. charge of ombezzlcment in connection with the business of a mining company. His father. K. V. Perkins, of Flagstaff, Ariz., was vis iting Pasadena at the time.- He cam here in response to telegrams from hi son and settled the ease by paying the money. A Salt Iike officer wanted to take the accused back anyhow, but Governor Chamberlain refused to Issue a warrant of extradition. Over a week ago Shoriff "Word arrested Mr. Per king la response to a letter from Salt lake on a second charge, and looked him up in the cWiity Jail. Mr. Per kins employed Joseph A. Strowbridge, Jr.. to attend to the case. Mr. Strow bridge telegraphed to Mr. Perkins' wife at Kansas City, his father at Flagstaff and to Salt Like and received various answers. These snowed that the em bezzlement charge was connected with the Farmlngton Gold Mining & Milling Company. The names of Dr. Walllng ford and Hartman were mentioned in the telograms and also statements that a deal was In progress to settle with Perkins father for $1660, and that the District Attorney at Salt Lake was try ing to bring about the settlement. Yes terday afternoon Sheriff Word sent a. telegram to Sheriff Emery at Salt Like containing the following message: "I have been compelled to release Perkins." qf tho mountain Just toppled In and filled up the hole. The small Island In Crater Lake Is undoubtedly the remnants of the peak." KTVf 3RE persons swoar off from smok 1 I lng the first of the year than .you: would Imagine," said a cigar clerk in one of the leading hotels yesterday. "I have noticed It particularly among the travel ing men. They will stop smoking for a few days or weeks, but in time they all come back. "It is an actual fact that on January 1 the cigar stands do not have so many sales as they had a few days before. There is quite a noticeable decrease. But every day. from then on. as the old patrons come dropping back, the business increases until It is back to its normal condition. Not "one man In a hundred will hold off from smoking more than three months. "You sec that man sitting there,' said the clerk, pointing to a miserable, discontented-looking mortal who had his mouth full of gum, which he was chewing with such force that his whole body rocked from tho motion. "When he first quit he would not look at a cigar stand, and when he took a seat in the lobby he always turned his back this way. But hp Is gradually giving in. For several days he held out all right, and then he began casting his eyes In this direction whenhe would pass by. 2Cow he lounges atound on the counter and plays the slot ma chine for gum, so I am sure that he will be smoking again within two days at tho most. It is laughable and sometimes really pitiful to see a man trying to quit the habit." GEORGE J. WHELAX. president, and Edward "VVlse. treasurer, of the United Cigar Store Company, wt;o have been guests at the Hotel Portland, left last night for San Francisco, while here Mr. Whelan and Mr. Wise held several con ferences with local cigar men. but tooth ing was given out for publication. Mr. Wise was asked last night when the com pany would make an entrance in Portland, but declined to give out any statement other ihan that there might be something later. They registered at the Hotel Port land from New York G. TV. KIger. the Tillamook iimberma'n. is a guest at the Perkins HeteL By many of his friends he is known as "Handsome George." although he never refers to himself as such. Mr. KIger is in Portland dosing tip a deal whereby he dlpposes of large timber Interests in Tilla mook County. His friends have men tioned him as a likely candidate for State Representative" from Tillamook County on the Republican ticket. RD CRAFT HERE, RE SAYS POLICE CHIEF GRITZ3IAC1IER IS CONFIDENT.

"I was prospecting through South ern Oregon, and by accident I ran Into Crater "Lake. That was about 58 years ago. My first Impression of this great scenic wonder was that the mountain had just caved In, and I have always believed that such was the formation tf IL "I believe a great cavity was formed by the continued eruptions under this grea't mountain which now holds Crater Lake.

Member of Hop Sine Tons: l-'nils to i Pay Ills Dues ami Seeks to. Join .Another Society, Which Causes Trouble. Ah outbreak of hostilities i. foared in Chinatown, resulting from strained rela tions between rival tongs because a humble Chinese doecrted one society while owing dups. He expressed his Intention of joining another organization, and .hereupon a notice was posted on the Oriental bulletin-board at Second and Oak streets, wnrnlng the various tongs ngnlmH the outcast and throaicninc trouble If he "No graft exists to my knowledge, and f-hould be accepted Jn any of tbem as a member boforo "squaring" himself with tho Hop Sing Tong. Intense excitement prevailed throughout the district all day, and continued una bated last night. Groups of Chi nose wero to be seen standing along Second street, chattering excitedly over the prospective war. Police precautions were taken to avert serious trouble, and preparation have been made to put a sudden stop to any highbinder operations that might occur. Conservallvc Chinese last night pre dicted that there would be no serious trouble, but the more restless element looked for an outbreak at any moment, and weapons were loaded and placed In handy positions In practically, every Chi nese abode In the city. Because of the trouble, a meeting 6f the Hop Sing Tong has been called for tonight, at which matters will be dis cussed. A great deal depends upon this gathering. It Is reliably stated that the Hop Sing Tong is determined, to exact payment of the faithless member's dues before It will consent to drop the case, and If he is admitted Into any of the other societies. Hop Sing Tong will hold that society responsible for the man's dues. Should the money be refused, it is said that blood will flow. There arc perhaps 15 tongs in China town, but the really powerful ones num ber only five. Of these the Suey Sing Tong is regarded as the most formidable. It was rumored yesterday that the out cast member of the Hop Sing Tong In tended affiliating with the Suey Sing Tong. and this awakened the desperate Jealousy of the other society, and led to the posting of the notice yesterday morn ing. , "While the notice was posted more es pecially for the Suey Sing Tong. it was also meant as tf warning to the Hip Sing Tong, the Bow Leong Tong and the Bow On Tong. It applied equally to the hisser organizations. Interest now centers about the meeting scheduled for tonlghu and tho police will be In readiness to meet any situation that may develop. , It lias been a year since there was any serious trouble in the Chinese district. A battle was fought along Second street at that time, and one white man was wounded. BAR ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS Kcport or Committee on Death or John II. Mitchell Heard.

Some, like Hoar, hae been longer In the service; some, like Spooner, have greater readiness In debate; some, like Beveridge and For aker, may surpass him in the fervor of oratory; some, like Hanna and Aid rich, may have greater powers at com mand in, the commercial and financial world: but take It all In nlL there is probably no man In the Scnato more effectively equipped -with those native qualities and acquired resources which enable a man to win the sympathy and support of his felloHTnon."

A well-Informed member of the ways and means committee of the Council makes the following statement with ref erence to the salary warrants of the plumbing inspector and his deputy: "In the controversy over tho appoint ment of the plumbing inspector between the Council and Mayor Lane, the latter contended that he was entitled, as Execu tive Officer of the city, to make the ap pointment, and under this contention named William Hey. Thomas EL Hume had been plumbing inspector under the Williams administration, and also under that of Mayor Rowe. In looking up the matter the Council found that Mr.,HuIme had not been regularly appointed since the adoption of the new charter. An ordi nance was accordingly passed appointing him plumbing inspector and fixing his salary at $73 a month. The controversy was in this condition when it was taken into the court, and the attorneys for the respective, parties stipulated a. statement of facts to be submitted, to the court sub sequent In accordance with the forego ing. When the matter came up for ar gument before Judge Cleland. the attor neys for Mr. Hey raised the question that the Mayor had a right under the state laws to appoint the plumbing inspector. Up to this time It had beA generally con ceded that the state law was invalid, and that Judge George had so held; but on the question being raised by Mr. Hey's attorney. Judge George was of the opinion that he had not passed on this particular question, nnd consequently it was argued before Judge Cleland, who held the law good so far as the appointing power of the Mayor was concerned. Up to this time no attention had been paid to the state law by the city officials. "Section 5 In the state law provides that the plumbing Inspector appointed by the Mayor 'shall receive such compensa tion for his services from such city or town as may be fixed or allowed by the proper authorities thereof.' This would make it the duty of the Council to- fix the plumbing Inspectors salary. This has never been done, and consequently the ways and means committee has no au thority to audit or allow him any salary." This statement from the Councilman Is given publicity for the purpose of cor recting an erroneous Impression wherein the motives of the ways and means com mittee In holding up the salaries are questioned. Kills a Bis Cougar. Jesse Hendricks, a logger of Holton. a town about 25 miles from Portland on the Oregon side of the Columbia, was In the city yesterday afternoon endeavoring to dispose of the pelt of a cougar he had killed in the morning back of the logging camp in which he Is employed. Upon arising yesterday morning Hen dricks noticed fresh tracks near the camp, and calling his dogs tracked the cougar to the forest where the beast was treed and shot by the huntsman. The cougar had been feeding on the carcasses of two deer that had fallen victims to the rapacious beast. The animal meas ured seven feet from tip to tip, and Its coat was sleek and thick, denoting that It had not been suffering from lack of food. Hendricks says that the cougars have been waging a war of extermination upon the deer of Columbia and Clatsop Counties and that a bounty should be offered for all pelts secured.
