Fish Commissioner, met at the -capital
yesterday afternoon and received the
monthly report of the Master Fish WaF
ner H. O. Van Dusen. of Astoria, for th
month of September, showing his receipts
and aUo tha progress made at the dif
ferent hatcheries. The matter of th
erection of dams in several streams of

on Clackamas Creek and one on Johnson
Creek, in Clackamas County; one on the
Umatilla River, and one on the Umpqua
River, near Shedds, had. been complained
of in this connection, and as the success
of the hatcheries was threatened, he pro
posed to take prompt steps to have the
fishways Installed.

month of September is as follows:

cf licenses issued during the month of

Will a Portland Jury Render a Verdict
of Guilty Even If the Evidence ,
Be as Gear as Day
Judge HcGinn's Piteous
blersCity Attorney Says "It's up to the
Jury" Hogue's Clear Charge
Judge Henry McGinn,- with an eloquejnc worthy of better cause, yes
terday mad the most peculiar and sensational defense In a gambling case
ever heard In the Municipal Court. He said: ,
"My clients have been hounded and hunted Ilk wolves and lion. They
have beer) dragged here Ilk criminals to appease th thirst for virtu of
thefchuroh "people, who have on a spasm of Tform.""
"It was a sorry day when the men became gamBlers. They, however,
support themselves and families by this avocation. They have mad It
their business and could not do anything els. 'When th wav of goodness
was not rolling over the community these men were allowed to follow their
- occupation without molestation. If it was right than to gamble, It Is right
now. Th men are only doing what they have always done. Because a streak
of short-lived virtue Is abroad these men are dragged her Ilk criminal.
These men have gambled and will gamble again and will not be molested.
That they should be punished now is not fair. Remember these men are
poor and since the crusade have been out of employment at their business.
They have no money and to convict them would work a great hardship.
To find them guilty you must not only suspect that th men were gambling
but have evidence that they were."
A Jury- consisting uf Anthony Neppacli,
William Sheehy. W. W. t'easley, Hugh
McGuire, John Schaid and Francis Seely
yesterday disagreed in bringing in a Ver
dict In the gambling case after being out
seven hours. When the Jurors went into
the room it wa thought that they would
not be out for over a few minutes before
thev would return with a verdict of
guilty for a part, if not all, of the
defendants. The evidence showed that
the men were gambling, and not one cir
cumstance tended to raise a doubt that
such wa not the case.
The evidence showed that Ayers was
sitting back' -Of a - gambling table en
gaged in dealing faro. No rebuttal of
any kind Was brought out to show that
this was not th caHf. In view of the
strong testimony. Judge McGinn, for the
defense, made- no- attempt to show that
the men were not gambling, but made his
plea that the men should not be pun
ished In view of the wave of -urity that
was sweeping over the town. The de
fense was practically an admission that
the men were guilty. The testimony was
very conclusive By what system of de
duction or argument a Jury of Intelligent
men could disagree in the cas" is a mys
tery. .'(
THE ARRESTS.
The defendants, William Ayres, David
Schiller, William James, Ibomas Bragg
and A. C. Baxter, wer arrested for gam
bling at the Portland Club on September
3-
Officer Parker, who made tne raid, tes
tified that he had gained entrance to the
Portland Club while the doorkeeper was
off his guard. When he entered the room
he found William Ayers sTttlng back . of
a table on which wa a faro layout.' in
front of him was a' box containing the
cards. Players were sitting around the
table with checks in front of them and
distributed over the 'layout. One man
was keeping cases. In a drawer in the
table was $139.50. The apparatus and the
money was seized and introduced as evi
dence. GRANT'S TESTIMONY.
Manager Grant, of the Portland Club,
stated that he was the manager of the
IJlace. When asked who fh owenrs were.
he refused to answer, a-itlrig that there
were- people connected lwtn t wno wouia
not care to have their nsfifies mentioned.
His attorney made a hard fight to have
these names kept from publicity. Grant
stated that the plflce had been bought
from Frank Hellen. That no gambling
had been conducted In there since he
had taken charge to his knowledge. That
the gambling tools were stored in the
place from the time they had been used
there. He stated he vwatf in the room
where the alleged gambltrfg took place a
few minutes before, and a few minutes
after the raid, but had noticed no signs
of a game. When asked If Ayers nad
an interest In the house, he stated he
had not, but made himself at home about
there, and kept his money and books
in the safe In the gambling room. That
he may have been Interested with Hellen
at one time, and may also have been
one of the dealers, in the place. Grant
said he did not know to whom the money
found in the place belonged.
BRAGG AFTER CHANGE:
Tom Bragg, the well-known gambler,
stated that he was a speculator.- He ad
mitted having been employed a a dealer
in the Portland Club fbr a number of
years. He said he went upstairs from
the saloon to get gold for 810 In sliver.
It was at this critical period when Offi
cer Parker appeared on fhe scene. He
could not explain how It happened he
went upstairs after money If he did not
know that a game was Tunning.

Plea for the Poor Gam
Baxter, but whose right name is Bar
clay, was put on the stand, no was at
one time a police captain of the city, and
since leaving the forfre, has been identi
fied with the Portland Club. He was
one of the men taken in during a raid
by Officer Church. The evidence at that
time showed that the men 'Were In a po
sltlon where everything against them in
dicated that they were gambling, but the
Jury dismissed the defendants, on the
basis that the men haTT been notified
beforehand that the officers were com
ing, and had framed up so that tne evi
dence against them would hardly be
strong enough for a conviction. Banker
Mills and several other men who were
on the jury had no hesitancy in stating
that the trial had been a f race. -..At the
trial yesterday Barclay stated that he had
not been gambling for tne reason that
he did not have the slightest knowledge-
how the game of faro was played. Yes
terday he testified that he did not know
the men who were arrested with .him, al
though It is a fact that h. ha been in
timately associated with a number of
them for years.
AVERS WAS SILENT.
Wm. Ayers was present, but was not
put on, the stand. The evidence showed
that he was dealing the game and that
in ail probability tne bank roll seized
belonged to him, as no one else laid any
claim to it. The case as it stood would
not admit of his being pu? in the wit
ness box and swear that he was not
gambling in the face of tho evidence.
The idea of the defense, apparently, was
to get off a number of. the men, against
whomthe testimony would In' a techni
cal sense admit of doubt.
McGINNS RIGHTEOUS PLEA.
Judge McGinn, with an eloquence
worthy of a better-, cause, tried to im
press upon the Jury that, tne poor men
who by force of circumstances were
gamblers, were being hounded .by the
police. That they had a livelihood to
make for themselves and families. That
their business was gamblrffSf, and that
the business was considered right at
any time that a spasm of virtue was not
overrunning the community, rle made no
attempt to disprove the charge, but quot
ed law to show that In order to find the
men guilty, the jury would have, to be
certain that the defendants were gam
bling, and must have more than a sus
picion that such was th case.
PROSECUTION'S SIDE.
Prosecutor McNary made a brief state
ment to the jury. He explained that the
men were found in a well-known gam
bllng house. The men were all well
known gambers. They were playing at
a game of faro. The money and layout
were seized "and were In evidence. Tf"a"
conviction could not be 'secured on such
a showing. It would be Impossible to
convict in a gambling case. That the
policy of the administration wa to en
force the laws. The police had made an
effort In this direction an tne city at
torney had left nothing undone. It Was
up to the jury to do th rest.
JUDGE HOGUE'S CHARGE. '
"Gentlemen of the Jury, you have beard
the evidence in th case, and are sup
posed to use your judgment a to tb
guilt or innocence of th defendants from
th testimony Introduced. .You ar to use
common sense. You can weigh every
circumstance In connection with tn cas
and if you think th defendants wer
gambling it i your duty to bring in
a verdict of guilty. If you teei satisfied
that they were not guilty of th offense,
or, if there la any reasonable doubt on
this score, you must bring; in a verulct
in their favor. Th men under th Char
ter have no appeal from the findings of
the jury, and your action Is final."

CAUGHT IN A BAD TYPHOON
At Hong Kong She Was Damaged
by Fire to Extent of $12,000.
The British ship Dynomene, Captain
Snodden, arrived In port yesterday. She
comes in ballast from Hong Kong via
Victoria, B. C. ,
The Dynomene was 44 days in reach
ing; yictorla, where., she lgy 10. days
waiting for order's. , The owners 'were
waiting for charter rates to Improve, but
finally accepted 26s 9d from the Portland
J Grain Company. This is the lowest rate,
f the captain states, that the owners of
the ship ever accepted.
MANY MISFORTUNES. 1
On her last voyage the ship has been
very unlucky. While discharging patent
fuel for the British Government, at
Hong Kong, the cargo took fir in some
inexplicable manner, and the hull of the
vessel was damaged to the extent of $12,
000. Five weeks were consumed In mak
ing repairs. Shortly after leaving Hong
Kong, she was caught in a tpyboon in
the China seas. The storm came upon
her In the most violent manner and the
hawser reel was torn asunder. Waves
came surging In " from every direction,
and all loose articles about the deck
were swept overboard. The nost severe
part of the storm contmuea from early
in "the morning of August ltd' late in
the afternoon on the following day. Had
i not soon subsided, the ship would have
been in a disabled condition.
NOT HEARD FROM.
The British ship Lyderhorn sailed from
Hong Kong on the same day as the Dy
nomene, and as she has not been heard
fronv.Jt.ls presumed that she waa also
caught In the typhoon. Fear are enter
tained for her safety. She Is en route to
the Pacific Coast and should have been
heard from several day aiHbwHo!w'
