POLICE AND GAMBLERS One Victim Says They Are Working Hand & Hand The Mayor Is Very Wrathy. Frank Hellen's Methods as They Are Pictured by One Who Claims to Have Been a Victim of the Vice; 'A young man came . Into my office just before noon and told me a tale of woe which I do not doubt is the truth," aid Mayor Williams today. "He gave the name of Porter and asked me if there was any way I could help him to get back to his home at Ogden. Utah, as he did not have a cent, and his tools were in pawn for $11. A little ques tioning brought out his tale which is nut at all surprising to me. H ELLEN BROKE HIM. "Ha said that last Monday he was in duced to visit the Portland Club by a newly-made friend and becoming fascin ated with the play took a seat at a faro tabfe. Frank Hellen was dealing. Porter says that when he went into the place he had $330 on his person, but that it did not last long and soon he was broke. "In the goodness of 'his heart Porter says that Hellen gave him $15 and aJ vlsed him to go up to the Oem Club, and see if he could not play even, or at least win money enough to carry him horn. The poor fool instead of taking tho money and redeeming his )ols, so ns might go to work, took Hellen'B advice and went up to the other gambling house. Where he again went broke. I could do nothing for the man, as I have no funds at my disposal with which to help stranded gamblers. A POLICEMAN PRESENT. One feature of Porter's story which greatly displeased nta was what he had to say about the police being cognizant of the fact that gambling was going on - right beforeAhelr eyes. "He informed me .that while he was en gaged at the faro table a policeman en tered the room- and nodded familiarly to ENLARGE DEPOSITS Bonds at Market Instead of Bar Value, SHAW WILL RETURN Will Increase Government Honey in National Banks to $18,000,000. WASHINGTON, Sept 24. It has been given out here today that Secretary Shaw has conoluded to return to Washington With President Roosevelt.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept 2.-An Import ant conference Is to be held here at Speaker Henderson's cottage within a day or two. Senators Hanna, Quay, Pen rose and Dolllver will attend. WASHINGTON'S VIEWS. ' WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 The proposed conference at Speaker Henderson's cot tage In Atlantic City at which Senators . Hanna, Qusy, Ponross-and Del liver wIM be present, is looked upon here as es pecially significant. All of .the Senators are commojfly rated as being very much devoted to the Interests of the - highly protected Industries, and. Indeed, they are referred to generally as those upon whom the representatives may most surely, de pend to do nothing against the trusts. Speculation la rife regarding the mean ing of the meeting, and some believe that It Will be a part of a plan locking to those present. After aceptlng a cigar from one of the gamblers the officer Is said tq have leisurely strolled out. He could not help but see that gambling was going on. ,If jthls is so, a bad state of affairs certainly exists." THE LAW IS PLAIN. After considerable research the Mayor has resurrected an act passrd by the twentieth legislative assembly in im, amending the Portland city charter. Section 83 of this act, which upholds the Mayor in his every act regarding vice, reads, in part, as follows: "Whenever tho Mayor or any member of the Board of Police Commlsloners re ceives satisfactory Information that any room, house or premises within such city, or within" four' miles of the corporate limits thereof, is used as a common gam ing house, or premises for' playing within for wager of money at a game of chance, or if the same 1s kept or used for any lewd or obscene public amusement or the deposit or sale of lottery tickets or poli cies, It shall be lawful for the Mayor or such member of the Board of Police Com missioners to direct the Chief of Police or any officer of the force to enter such house or room and arrest all persons found therein offending against the law. and seiie all Implements of gaming, lot tery tickets and lottery policies, and con vey any person so arrested with the arti cles seised, before the police Judge. "The Chief of Police shall cause suen arrested persons to be vigorously prose cuted and such seised articles destroyed, a'hij the Commissioners shall rinse the owner of the premies or his agent or rep resentative to cause the use of such un lawful purpose to cease. " Washington,' Immediately take steps to Increase the deposits of government mon ey' in the national banks to the market value of the bonds deposited. Instead of the par value of the bonds, which are now averaging from IS to 18 per cent above their face value. This action will therefore Increase the amount of government money on deposit In the- national banks to about J18.0O0.000. It is more than likely that an order will be Issued by the Secretary tomorrow cov ering the matter. WONT REDUCE BAIL ST. LOUIS, Sept. 24. The Court has declined to reduce the bail demanded for the release of the four boodllng Alder men, whom he held In fifteen thousand dollars each, and remanded to Jail be cause they are unable to furnish it.

The merchants of Burns have sent In a letter to the Cham ber of Commerce, protesting against a forest reserve, as they claim It would cut them off from the rest of the state. wards the embarrassment of the Presi dent. Speaker Henderson's recent spectacular act has certainly caused the President embarrassment. And the meeting of the men who are not very loyal Roosevelt men with the man who hurt Roosevelt more than any other man or set of men ever did, is thought to have some import ant bearing upon the coming political status.

CRIMES ARE SIMILAR Gosdy Resembles Man Wanted for Murder Committed Two Years Ago. NEW YORK, Sept 24. It U more than likely that another murder will be attrib uted to Young, who is accused of killing Mrs. Pulltxer, In New York, last week. , The police, who are doing everything possible to get at the bottom of the mys- REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR 4 1 4 GOVERMOR OPELL FROM A tery surrounding the murder of Mrs. Pu litzer, are now working on the theory that Youpns. the man accused of doing away with her. is the same person who. In lS9 enticed Mrs. Kate Feeley away from her home and brutally murdered her, literally hacking her to pieces. The crime was committed In October of that year and was one of the most fiendish of any that had ever been brought to the attention of the police of the city. The fart that the murder of Mrs. Pu litzer was accomplished In much the same manner as that of Mrs. Feeley, has led the police to suspect that the same party Is guilty of both crimes. Working on this theory, developments have been brought to light which leads those employed on the case to assume that Youhg ls the per petrator of both the murders. The offi cers say that Young answers very closely the description of the man who Is sup posed to have killed Mrs. Feeley, and the slmilnrtty of the two crimes almost con vinces them that Young Is the man want ed.

MACHINISTS RESTRAINED udge McPherson Issues Sweeping Injunction. OMAHA, Sept. 24 The Union Pacific Railroad, through Its counsel, has ob tained a temporary Injunction against striking machinists. In which the latter are restrained from In any way Inter fering with non-union men who topk their places. The order was taken out from United States District Court Judge McPHerson at Omaha, and is very sweeping in Its detail. Among other things It restrains the offlusra of the internatJanal Associa tion of Machinists or others from' doing anything towards agitating any feeling tending to cause violence. - Excitement over the Injunction goes on among the'' strikers, who make threats freely.

As was expected Governor Odell was unanimously renominated by the Re publican State Convention here this morning. Although the slate prepared was not carried In Its entirety the convention took action as predicted and gave Governor Odell its unanimous vote to be the choice of the Republican party as the candidate for the Governorship of the Empire State. The platform strongly endorsee President Rooaeveit and pledges him the support of the delegates in the next Presidential campaign. This ac tion was hardly expected In face of the fact that Roosevelt has assumed an attitude on the tariff question which has not been wholly satisfac tory to many Republicans of the State. The platform also cordially approves the action of the Admin istration In regard to affairs in the Philippines and the bonsummatlon of the work In Cuba. Another feature of the platform is a plank advocat ing a protective iariff This was undoubtedly an, Odell con vention, as he secured practically everything he demanded. For a while there was a Uttle t xcltement over.the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor Sheldon, as the man advanced by Piatt was not satisfactory to the Gov ernor, who refused to accept the nom ination should Sheldon's name be placed on the ticket. However, after some annlmated discussion, Shelton's name was withdrawn, which resulted in Stat Senator frank Higgins re ceiving the unanimous nomination of the convention to be the running mate of Governor Odell. r Arithmetic, 25c; Natural System Writing, io. , c; -Lecenan aeries Music, oc; First Music Reader, S2c.
