NOT AFTER MONEY

Patrol Driver Isaacs Denies
Charge of Grafting.
HIS CALL ON CHIN SEN
Merely Dropped in to Gossip, He De
clnres Charges Against Three
Orricers Are Heard by Civil
Service Commission.
Charged with grafting in China
town, Patrol Driver Isadore E. Isaacs
yesterday afternoon before the Police
Commission denied that he had been
authorized by any one to solicit for
an alleged $:I0,.,IO fund -being raised
to assist in the election of Thomas C.
Ievlin to the Mayoralty. He ad
mitted having talked the matter over
with Chin Sen, a Chinese merchant,
but said that he was only repeating
street gossip and that he was not after
any money. The case was taken under
advisement.
One night last week Captain of Po
lice Bruin and Sergeant of Detectives
Haty overheard Isaacs asking Chin for
money, and the patrol driver was Im
mediately suspended. Bruin and Baty
were concealed behind a curtain in
Chin's place of business and listened
during the entire conversation. Isaacs
ailed upon Chin by appointment and
told him tiiut if Devlin were elected
gambling would be allowed to flourish
in Chinatown and said that consequent
ly the Chinese would be expected to
contribute liberally to the campaign
fund.
The heads of the police department
do not believe that Isaacs was dele
gated to solicit for any campaign fund,
and think that Isaacs manufactured
the story with the hopes perhaps of
wrturlng money from the Chinese for
himself. That is the general inter
pretation of the story.
That Star for Sheriff Stevens.
It was brought out at the investiga
tion that five months ago Isaacs had
taken $22.iO from Chin ostensibly for
the purpose of raising a fund to pur
chase a gold and diamond star for
Sheriff Stevens. Chin willingly gave
up the money when called upon, but
later when he learned that the star
hart never been given the Sheriff he
informed certain members of the po
lice force, who carried the information
to headquarters. It was thus that
Captain Bruin and Sergeant Baty were
enabled to overhear the later conversa
tion between the patrol driver and the
Chinese. Chin 'squealed," so It is said,
because ue thought he had been the
victim of misplaced confidence.
VestTday afternoon when upon the
stand Isaacs admitted having received
the $22.50 and said that he had done
It upon the suggestion of Charles
Lewis, a barber who is now in Alaska.
He said that Lewis was raising the
money and that he turned the J22.0
over v.- him.
The police Ray that there is a "trait
or" among their ranks who has been
informing the Chinese of raids planned
againxt gambling dens, but they are
unwilling to make the out and out
statement that it Is Isaacs. Time and
time aain the police have planned
raids on dens, but when the officers
arrived (here they found no evidence
if gambling. They suspect that the
Chinese wore, warned.
It would be a very easy matter, say
the police, to stand in the doorway of
the police station and signal to the
Chinese who occupy buildings across
the streets. Receiving the signal, the
Chinese could have sent out couriers
to Inform all the dens to cease opera
tions. Patrolman Gitlriings on Trial.
Patrolman Giddlngs, who covers a
beat in Lower Alhina. appeared before
the committee on charges preferred
against him by V. M. Ogden. a carpen
ter, who alleged that Giddings had
been derelict of duty. The investiga
tion unearthed a neighborhood quarrel.
Mrs. Agnes Zander, one of thenelgh
bors of Mr. Ogden, was alleged to have
used abusive language towards Mr.
Ogden in the presence of the patrol
man. Mr. Ogden. his wife and his daugh
ter Mamie all testified to the unbecom
ing and scandalous conduct of Mrs.
Zander, who they said ' kicked the
patrolman in the stomach and knocked
his hat off when he attempted to
reason witli her. Patrolman Giddings
denied nearly everything alleged by
the members of the cden family, and
bad about a dozen witnesses present
to testify to his good character. The
case was continued.
The committee tried to confine the
wknes-ses to the case in hand, but they
wanted to tell of the sprees indulged
in by the various neighbors, of their
rows over fences which one man want
ed another to buy, of "funny" valen
tines circulated about the neighbor
hood which caused hurt feelings and
about everything that transpired since
Lower Albina was placed on the map.
Valentine From Miss Ogden.
Patrolman Giddings produced a
comic valentine sent him. which he
said came from the Ogden household.
Miss Mamie Ogden. a telephone opera
tor, admitted having sent it.
Patrolman Sloan appeared before
the committee on the charge of having
been seated in a saloon watching a
game of cards while on duty. Ser
geant of Detectives Baty testified as
to the incident, and the case was taken
under advisement.
BIG SHIPS PACIFIC FLEET
Indiana and Iowa Will Join Wiscon
sin and Oregon.
SA.V FRANCISCO, Feb. 23,-It Is au
thoritatively, although unofficially re
ported in local naval circles that the
formation of a strong armored fleet on
the Pacific Coast will be Inaugurated by
the dispatching to this, city at an early
date of the battleships Indiana and Iowa.
These two battleships will form the nu
cleus of the Pacific battleship squadron,
which will be further strengthened by
the addition of the new battleship Ne
braska, now nearly completed at Seattle,
and the battleships Wisconsin and Ore
gon, which are now being extensively
overhauled at the Puget Sound naval
station. These live battleships may be
reinforced during the next few months by
two more from the Atlantic.
It Is said to be the policy of the Navy
Department at this time to unite the Asi
atic fleet and the Pacific Squadron into
one great fleet, its component vessels in
terchangeable and all tuider the command
of one of the three Vice-Admirals, which
it is 'thought Congress will authorize at
an early date.

At a meeting of the trustees of .this company held at the offices of. the company, 402-403 Oregonian building, Thursday,
February 21, 1907, proposed expenditures amounting to Eighty-three Thousand, Seven
Hundred and Fifty Dollars 'were authorized for the fiscal year 1907-1908.

COSt Of S15,OOQ. (Fifteen Thousand Dollars.) . .
Work will be vigorously pushed as soon as the snow is off the ground. We intend making an active strike for OIL!
Ourholdings embrace more than 12,000 acres of the Richest Oil Land in the Kayak District on Behring River, Behring
Lake and Katalla Bay, Alaska.
The J. Pierpont Morgan and Guggenheim Railroad (of which Katalla is the terminus), crosses our land on the West
Shore of Behring Lake. Supplies for this road are now being rushed to the front.
Several thousand acres of our land are contiguous to those of the English Company owners of the famous Gusher,
which threw an 8-inch stream of oil 110 feet in the air for three days before it could be capped, whereby stock in
the company jumped Sixty-two and a Half for One
Do you realize what this means? It means $62,500 for every $1000 invested; and great as this profit appears, It is
as nothing compared with some of the returns which have come from judicious investment in. oil.
