Apartment-House Owners Say Agents
of Vice Commission Imposed on
Members and Attempted to
Bribe Janitors.
While not denying- the sincerity of
the Vice Commission in its efforts to
fc arrive at the truth about conditions
J existing- in Portland, W. L. Morgan, of
Morgan, Fliedner & Boyce yesterday
Issued a statement, backed up by affi
davits, tending to show that much of
the report, particularly in the spe
cific cases with which he dealt, is
entirely erroneous.
One statement in the report of the
Vice Commission apparently pointed to
apartment-houses under the manage
ment of the company with which Mr.
Morgan is idontined. On inquiring
from members of the Vice Commis
sion, he ascertained that his surmise
was correct.
Immediately steps were taken to
look into the matter. A complete cata
logue of the names and occupations of
the persons living in the 14 apartment-
nouses under the management of this
company was prepared, affidavits for
the correctness of which are now filed
In Mr. Morgan's office.
Man Afford Cine to Houses.
In addition to this, the map pub
lished in the report of the Vice Com
mission was carefully worked out by
streets, so that it was possible ' to
locate exactly every house mentioned.
The catalogue of names secured indi
cates that the material gathered by the
commission was entirely erroneous, so
far as these houses are concerned. Mr.
Morgan does not attribute the incor
rect information to delinquency on the
part of the members of the Vice Com
mission, but to errors on the part of
informants and operatives who worked
tinder their direction.
"In the report of the Vice Com
mission published in. their pamphlet
and the daily papers." said Mr. Morgan.
"there is a paragraph which reads as
zoiiows:
' 'As an intensification of this ten
dency a startling example Is afforded
In the case of a group of 14 span
ment-houses under one management.
wnicn tne investigations of this com
mission classify as follows: Where
Immoral tenants are desired or pre
ferred, eight; where immorality is
countenanced: or ignored, five; doubt
lul. ore.'
"As Morgan, Flledner & Boyce are
the only firm In this city having th
management of 14 apartment-houses, i
is very evident to whom that paragraph
reiers. But In addition to that Infer
ence members of our firm have been
personally advised they were the ones
reterred to.

Bribery la Charged.
"While we believe the Vice Com
mission intended to make an accurate
report and not misrepresent conditions,
they were evidently imposed upon by
their hired detectives in this instance.
No member of the commission, or any
of their agents ever Interviewed any
or the members of our firm or the pro
prietors of the buildings.
"The managers or Janitors of these
buildings have the strictest instruc
tions concerning the character of the
persons to be admitted as tenants; that
' these instructions are carried out Is
evidenced by the fact that attempts
have been made to bribe them to allow
undesirable tenants to occupy apart
ments.
"We have every reason to believe the
attempted bribery was done by the
hired agent of the vice commission.
Perhaps the vice commission thinks
bribery is an honorable method to be
used in, endeavoring to tempt our jani
tors and representatives to Ignore our
instructions and thus permit their
agent to do something that would give
him a chance to report the building as
being run under lax methods.
"It might -be- po-ssible that, under
Btrong temptation, some of our em
ployes might fall and agree to be
bribed. Nevertheless, if an undesirable
tenant gets Into one of these buildings
by this method they certainly would
be ejected as soon as we became aware
of it.
"But we wish to say. that after the
most careful Investigation, we believe
a finer class of people cannot be found,
morally or otherwise, living in the
homes of our city, than are to be found
as tenants in our apartment-houses.
We resent, in the most emphatic man
ner, the slanderous Insinuations made
by the vice commission against our ten
ants. We resent the slur cast upon our
Ilrm by tne report. we believe In
having a clean city, and we are doing
our part, individually and collectively,
to make a clean and beautiful city.
"As proof that our tenants represent
the very best people In the city, we
have prepared under oath, a complete
list of every tenant In every apart
ment-house . under our management.
We leave it to the Judgment of the
public as to the class of people living
In our apartments.
Full List of Karnes Given.
The full catalog of names secured
from the 14 apartment-houses runs into
hundreds and comprises names of-many
people whose standing in the city i.3
above reproach, in one case Mr. iior
ran points out that In one block in the
map prepared by the vice commission,
two houses are Indicted as catering
to or soliciting, immoral patronage,
while the catalog of tenants shows that
the only unmarried women living at
that address has held a responsible po
sition in the high, schools of the city
for nearly seven years, and that the

None of the officials of the railroads,
express companies or liquor associa
tions had received Governor West's let
ters, addressed to them yesterday, rela
tive to the shipment of liquor into
"dry" territory. They probably will
get them tomorrow or TueBday, tomor
row being a holiday.
"We do not knowingly ship any
liquor Into "dry" territory," said H.
Beckwith, of the Wells-Fargo Express
ompany, "but we are not allowed to
open any package to investigate its
contents. '
W. H. Carroll, general agent for the
American Express Company, and F. A.
Korner, of the Great Northern Express
Company, made similar statements.
D. W. Campbell, general superin
tendent of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and Joseph H. Toung, president
of the Hill lines in Oregon, said that
they had not received the Ooyernors
letter as yet, and could not make any
extended statement until they do. Each
said that their lines carry very little,
it any, liquor, and that the law is
closely observed In this, as in all of
their other business.
Liquor Dealers Answer.
All of the breweries and wholesale
liquor dealers Interviewed said that
they sell to Individuals living in "dry"

Governor West aimed at in his letter.

District Attorney Cameron was rep

and Joseph H. Page, one of his depu
ties. Richard Montague appeared for
Governor West and Mr. Esterly. Judge
McGinn refused to listen to extended
argument, declaring that he thought he
understood the situation quite well.
In passing upon the question at issue
Judge McGinn said that it would be
within the province of Mr. Esterly to
inquire into the alleged delinquency ot
public officials and present evidence
against them before the grand Jury.
Jndge Gives Opinion.
The full text of the Judge's remarks
in announcing his decision is as fol
lows: "I feel that Mr. Cameron is the duly
elected and qualified District Attorney
of this district and he holds that office
by a tenure from which he cannot be
deprived without his day in court. This
is the spirit of our law and the spirit
of the common law from which our law
is taken. In fact, it was the boast of
the common law that it condemns no
man in his person or property without
his day in court; and to allow the Gov
ernor's order to stand would be true
Jedwood Justice hanging ln haste and
a trial at leisure.
I must therefore find that the order
of the Governor depriving Mr. Cameron
of the office of District Attorney did
not allow him his day in court and for
that reason is void and Mr. Cameron
Is entitled to his office and to its emol
uments. In this state, as I -view it.

been tried and convicted of such an offense.
Court to Aid West.
"But there is another side to this
case also. By the constitution of this
state the Gdvernor is commanded to
see that the laws are enforced. He
complains that in this city the laws
are not enforced against certain de
linquents and that one reason they are
not enforced Is that some officers of
the lav, of which the District Attorney
is one, are failing to prosecute certain
law-brtakers. 1 do not say whether
this charge of the Governor's is true
or not. In nothing, that I say do I
want to be considered as passing upon
this charge of the Governor's as to its
truthfulness or otherwise, but the Gov
ernor is clearly within bis rights when
he Is attempting ta enforce the laws
and the court should not ln any man
ner prevent nls doing so by placing
legal Impediments in his way, but
should aid and assist him.
'Upon the statement made by the
Governor that the District Attorney is
not doing his duty in the respects in
dicated, I have concluded that in con
nection with the Governor's appoint
ment of Mr. Esterly the prosecuting of
crimes Buch as relate to the public
morals, the public health and the pub
lic peace, and offenses connected there
with, including delinquencies dt offi
cials, shall be specially committed, to
Mr. Esterly's charge and that for such
purposes he is the special prosecuting
officer. He is to be Independent of
Mr. Cameron ln carrying out the Gov
ernor's wishes, but ln all other respects
Mr. Cameron is to be the District At
torney and he and his deputies are to
act as heretofore.
'If there are any official dellnauents
Mr. Esterly will have the right to try
them, but the Governor shall not take
away from Mr. Cameron his office "to
which he has been duly elected without
giving him his day ln court."
limitations Are Asked.
"I quite agree with the court In his
general statement as to the law, in
terposed Senator Fulton. "I fully con
cur ln that, your honor, but I would
make this suggestion as to the limita
tlon upon the power of Mr. Esterly as
special prosecutor, which- I think will
come within the statute. I am satisfied
that if the District Attorney has been
derelict it not only Is within tha power
of the court, but it is the duty of th
court to appoint an attorney to rep
resent the, state ln investigating that,
and Mr. Cameron does not wish to
throw any obstacles in the way of any
person acting for and on behalf of the
Governor. He is perfectly willing to
have it investigated by someone who
represents the state and the Governor,
but I tnlnk there should be that lim
itation upon Mr. Esterly's power.1
Judge McGinn then ruled as follows
"Mr. Esterly will have Jurisdiction
wherever there are any public
nuisances relating to the publio peace,
the publio health and the public morals,
and if there are any charges that any
officer is derelict In his duty he shall
have the power to bring these matters
before the grand Jury. If the matter
had not gone so far I would suggest
to the District Attorney that these
gentlemen be appointed deputies to act
with him, but owing to the attitude of
the Governor and the charges that have
been made, I oo not wish to be under
stood in anything I say here as reflect
Ing upon Mr. Cameron. I simply say
that the Governor, being charged by
law with the execution and enforce
ment of the law, has a right in this case
to select any instrumentalities and
agencies he deems necessah-y; but Mr.
Cameron's office cannot be taken away
from him without giving him his day
in court.
Comnensatlon Give No Worry,
"So far as Mr. Esterly is concerned,
he would ln all matters coming within
his Jurisdiction have the right to sign
as Special Prosecuting Attorney. I do
not believe that in such matters the
Governor or Mr. Esterly should have
to submit anything to Mr. Cameron.
That is my view of it,"
Asked yesterday regarding the
method by which he and his deputies
expect to receive compensation for
their work Mr. Esterly said that he
does not know. He said be was not
mucb concerned about that phase, of
the situation but believed that Gover
nor West probably would seek to find
some method to remunerate them with
state funds. Ernest R. Ringo. one of
the special prosecutor's deputies, also
said that he is not worrying much
about compensation, but is anxious to
be of assistance in "cleaning up thf
city.
Loyal H. McCarthy, appointed Mon
day by Mr. Esterly as one of his
deputies, appeared in the Municipal
Court yesterday morning prepared to
take up business as a regular repre
sentative of the District Attorney. Be
fore the proceedings had begun, how
ever, he was notified by telephone of
Judge McGinn's decision. He at once
vacated and Deputy District Attorney
Hennessy resumed the position Irom
which he had apparently been removed
on the preceding day, when the Gov,
ernor's appointment of Mr. Esterly was
made.
The only call Governor West has
made on the municipal police thus far,
although Mr. Cameron and his deputies
have repeatedly insisted that the cases
to which the Governor refers belong ln
the municipal Jurisdiction instead of
within the Jurisdiction or their office,
was a message to Chief of Police Slover
asking that Sergeant Kay and Patrol
man Stewart be assigned to his office
to assist in his campaign.
Governor West went to Salem yes
terday afternoon and will remain until
tomorrow. He has announced that as
soon as Mr. Esterly's work Is es
tablished and running smoothly, he
will withdraw from the city entirely
and leave the crusade in bis hands. It
Is probable, unless other complications
arise, that the temporary capital of
the state in Portland will go out of
existence before the present week Is
closed.
The mass meeting at first suggested

ready, we have already pledged to us
enough assistance to carry the petitions

tne movement.
Contributions to Be Open.
"Whether the District Attorney and
his friends ally themselves with the
campaign or not depends with them,
after it has been formally launched. 1
cannot yet say whether contributions
irom the liquor Interests will be re
ceived at all. .
'One thing is certain that the con
tributions will be received openly and
that everyone who pledges a penny to
us at the present time will do It under
the understanding that his name is not
to be withheld.
'There is no need to deliver the at
tack against isolated examples of the
Governor's activity ln the state, such
as might be pointed out in this county
and city. We believe that we have suf
ficient basis for the proposed action
and this will be brought to the public
attention so soon as the preliminary
work is done and we are prepared to
bring our campaign activity into the
