' Una; the. threata made yeaterday that
'trouble would happen at noon.
Soma sort of. an agreement wtt ar-
"' i rived at. but the exact nature of It could
. 'not' be learned' because' of ithe poaltlve
(refusal xt President H, W. Ooode and
Director of Works Oskaf Huber to give
' (any 'information. Newspaper men were
'not permitted to crow, the bridge lead
line;, to, the government building either
'(luring..', working hours or at luncheon
time. The officiate a la ted that they, had
'received word that "everything la quiet
land the guards are there," which was
' nhe' extent of .their Information and as
.much as they 'cared to have the public
(know.
Prom another soiSrce t was learned
that Contractor jJ K. Bennett had
granted the worklnfrmepfi' demand for
tne aoomton or me oouar - a, monin
'doctor' a fee. To a reporter the eon'
'tractor declared he was glad to-do so,
for the plan had been a nuisance from
the' beginning and all; the benefit he
' had' received from It was the extra la
. W of collecting the fees. . The other
demands., save one, were practically
granted at the time of the first strike
'several weeks ago. The one clause In
the grievance which Bennett did' not
.grant is as follows:.1 .......; r-
"That J. E. Bennett shell have no au
thority to hire or discharge any man
Employed on the work, such power to
be vested In Mr. Ward, the superinten
dent, he to be In honor bound to em
Iploy only capable men In the different
.mechanical lines and to protect the In
terest of Mr. Bennett In every way."
enrprlae4 the Workmea. ,
, It Is understood thst this clause was
'surprise to many of the workmen who
'attended the meeting at which it waa
(supposed to bave been adopted several
'nights agoj In other-words, that It waa
' 'inserted In the protest and passed on
'later. Mr. Bennett was'emphatio In his
reply to a question aa to whether - he
would concede ithe above clause.
"No."', he fairly shouted, "pot if I bave
to tie up the whole Job: I won't give
it hem -mother Inch and least of all will
jl torn my business over to a highway
robber, t have positive and absolute
'proof that Ward la the man who stirred
:up the strike. He la a labor agitator
.from at' Louis, and a member of a crowd
it hat follows expositions year after year,'
engaging In lust this sort of work.. He
'it waa who wrote the protest of the men.
Including the clause placing in bis hands
entire authority to hire workmen, . He it
waa who discharged the men they e(
mand shall be reinstated. The only men
I have let out were showmen who were
employed in order to keep them here un
til the opening of the fair, who were on
the payroll, but doing nothing. "
" i . - Ward Discharged the Ilea. .'
' "He himself discharged the local men
about whom the: agitators complain. I
have (he protest. In pen and ink, and It
Is written in the same hand and with the
same ink as Ward's accounts:' That's
how I know he la the head and front of
the strike movement. Now, there's the
whole case In a nutshell. This Is the
man, working against my Interests sll
the time, to whom they ask meMo turn
over my business. Not much I won't!"

As to the hospital fee, which has

This, as the courts have often "decided,

The strike at present .appears to be

Portland. "Feb. 1 2. 10I. Editor of
Ths Journal: Referring to the article
In this morning Oregonisn, in wnicn
the city t' board of charities Is criti
cised for1 not attending . to a case of
destitution - reported at lit-- North
Eleventh street, we feel that the true
atata of affairs should be placed be
fore the psblie. 1 This family was
ported tctT the Visiting" Nurse aasocla
tlon by the Women's union.. The nurse
Visited the house and found a Child 111
with symptoms of either scarlet fever
or measles, - As the rules of the asso
elation forbid attendance on contagious
cases, she reported the situation' to the
president, who In turn, notified the
of flee, of Dr. Zan. receiving the assur
ance from .that office'' mat tne matter
would receive the proper attention,- ana
that if It were not a contagious ease,
the nurse would be notified. The nurse
further reported that the Women's
union, through Miss Russell, had taken
or- sent groceries - to the family, - She
mentioned thia fact to Mrs.. Wilson at
the city board of .charities. ' That re
mark of-the nurse was the only notice
that the city board of' chartUea had
even received - that . there waa such
family In the city; and in no way do
we feel. Jadglng from our knowledge
of the case, can that organisation be
charged with neglect.
In our work In .the visiting Norses'
association we 'have found the advice
and experience of tbe city , board of
Charities Invaluable, and we have learned
that -until our patients asked directly
for aid that we are In no way authorised
to asaume that they wish material re
lief. We learned this through uncom
fortable experience. , Klndltg that fam
ilies were In need of wood, provisions
or clothing, and In our seal forgetting
that we were dealing with human people
wlttr-tniroen rights, reporting their ne
cessities to ths city board of charities.
we were Inet at our next visit with se
vere condemnation that we dared assume
for an Instant that because they were
poor that charty" was needed.' So that
at in the esse at izs jsortn tsieventn

has learned that poor people have rights

dividuals must respect their right to

Ths writer wishes to express ner re
gret that there has been so much mis

tlon of the methods ' ' of associated
charity work, as t Is a repetition of
tne experience or every organisation
which attempts, to systematise tbe greet
work of giving 'and helping.". Jn the old
days, when every men knew his neigh
bor. Investigation was unnecessary? But
In these days of hurry and worry.,' it is
necessary to, have system, organisation,
and to bave at. Its head a man with
brains; with Judgment, who serves as
a. connecting link, as Jt were, between
the recipient and the giver, doing for
tbe public that work which It Is too
busy to do for. itself. And on the other
hand, doing and planning for the weaker
one In auch a way that he Is perma
nently helped Instead of ) being further
pauperised. , '-.'". ' ,- n -
Many Instances could be; recorded,
would f spa oe permit. In the short life
of the Visiting Nurse' association, which
show the absolute necessity of such van
organisation ' as the city board i of
charities. - One "will stlfnce -a case of
consumption wh.. reported visited by
the nurse reported ai-needy and ,our
friendly . visitor 'Investigated; (If any
better word can be suggested we would
be glad to uae it).' Through the city
hoard of chart-ties records we found that
the family received such -aid as wss
necessary. Ws also found that three
church - societies" were helping, each
fondly clinging to the Idea that "It was
helping a poor family." Had there been
tha co-operation which should exist be
tween all the charity workers in the efty
the church societies would have gone to
the records of the city board of charities,
and Instead of four sources being
drained of supplies 'there, would bave
been tbe proper kind of relief given. In
desperation vthe husband finally ap
pealed to one of the vlattora to "please
quit bringing clothes, we have a whole
room full now,"
This Is only- one of many cases and
only serves to emphasise the fact that
the day Of tbe indiscriminate giving
of charity Is passed. Voluntser work
in ths field of charity Is too apt to be
spasmodic, 'and becomes-weary just at
tha tlma when "standing by" Is most
needed, - and here Is Where ' ths paid
worker, proves himself the best friend
of tbe needy, and he is worthy of his
hire. While he cannot do without the
sympathy and. enthusiasm of the volunteer-worker,
we must have the trained
worker, to prelect both the needy and
the generous public d rat from the Im
positions , of the chronic "taker" and
from tb "tendency of the charitably, in
clined. t further weaken the already
weakened member of society, by reliev
ing him of all hl burdens and leaving
him none of the responsibilities.
.With Mr., Strong, tbe writer feels that
this discus'skm- la bound to refculujls
benefit to the community.- Out pf It, we
hope to sea s closer eo-operatlon 'among
the charity workera In our city a bet
ter. understanding of. the. associated
charities Idea, all Of .which will tend
toward a greater degree of helpfulness
for
r our poor, as well as a saving - of
money for
those who .give. Most re-

tour of Inspection. One would Infer
from . what has been said that I went

of police to inspect, the place." -
Councilman Flegel stated yesterday
that Chief Hunt haa been aeen In i
loons after 1 o'clock In the morning, and
that ho knows many houses are .violat
ing the city laws by doing business, af
ter that hour. He refused to name any
particular saloon whlc button chief bad
visited until yesterday, when he stated
that Hunt and one of bis officers had
been at tba Alcasar saloon after- dos
ing hours one morning; that they bad
found ths place open, but had mads no
arrests. .,' .,'..'
"It happened this way,- began Chief
Hunt "About a year ago George
Howell of the executive board made a
statement at a meeting that the chief
did not enforce the law In reference to
closing saloons after 1 o'clock In the
mornings, .and that ths saloon men paid
no attention - to, -the ordinance. Mr.
Flegel ..recently made the asms state
ment r- .. ',. c
"The captain of police in charge of
the relief and sergeants and patrolmen
declared the accusation untrue. To sat.
laf y myself I decided . to investigate.
One morning at I. o'clock I telephoned
Captain Bailey to send Sergeant Slover
to my house. With the eerfeent I made
a tour of inspection of the central part
of the city. In passing the saloon men
tioned Sergeant Slover : called my at
tention to the fact . that men were al
lowed to sit in the f hairs in the pool
room ana sieep, oui insi me ooor oe-
twecn the barroom and the poolroom
closed. He said these men were
out of employment and had. no means
to secure a bed and were . aiioweo to
sleep in the- chairs by the proprietor.
The front door was closed. We went
to the rear door, passed through a wlnd-
ng .hallway and entered the pooiroom.
where we found the men sleeping, as
stated. As - we approached the bar
room door it was opened by somebody
Inside.-. There were only two men in
the barroom, who-stated they were only
cleaning the place, and we found no
one drinking at the bar. : There was no
evidence that trade was carried on. I
"I gave - instructions ' to Sergeant
Slover ' then men. must hot be allowed
to remain In the poolrooms, with the re
sult that this custom was broken up.
"The city attorney., through bit re

"very recently a complaint was toagea
as-atns, a aaloon keener bv natrolman.
wtio stated he heard loud talking In tho
saloon after closing hours. The deputy
city attorney decided that the evidence
was not sufficient to Justify arresting
tne man. . -
'I was enly waiting for Mr. Flegel to

times two or three of my men accom
pany me.
I wish to say that saloons are not
kept open after hours. Ths orders I
have issued' to my men te see that ths
oral nance is eniorcea are obeyed."
Mr. Flegel said that saloons, bad all
outward semblsnce of being closed, but
that rear doors are open, that tba bar
rooms sre , filled with men and that
women are to be found in many places.
He declares he haa no" doubt ha would
be able to satisfy' any unprejudiced
court or board of his contentions. .

Arrested for passing spurious chock
for f (00 on L Gevurts tb Sons, furniture
and carpet dealers, 173 First street F. J.
Beailyf a wealthy Salem contractor, gave
iwuiu.sna was meami iron cuaiuvr
It was agreed that he should return ar
ticles he had secured or pay their value,
but instead it appears that he left the
state and went to Saa Francisco, from
where the police were notified today
that, he had "again been arrested and
waa being held on ths -charge.
- The affair la la many wsys one of
the most pussllng and mysterious with
which ths police - have had,to deal.
Beatty Is well known at Salem. an& Aai
a host of friends.. He is sal4 to' be
worth considerable money. . .
A few weeks ago ha went to tbe firm
named and said ha was Bates and that
be - lived In Alblna. He showed docu
ments which satisfied the members of
the firm that bis financial standing wss
good, and he was allowed to order goods
amounting to l00. Giving the meas
urements of rooms In his Alblna house,
ss he claimed, Beatty had carpets cut
for them. ', All bs took away from the
stors were' lacs curtains costing -140.
For ths srtlcles hs agreed to purchase
he gave a, check for liOO on local
bank,' signing, ths name of Bates.'''
When the . check was presented for
payment It was dishonored. A com-plalnt-waa
sworn out a warrant Issued
and Beatty was brought from Salem.
accompanied by jL. H," McMahan, his at
torney, who gave 160 cash bait Jt Was
Agreed not to prosecute Beatty,' provided
tne curtains were returned or their cost
paid, on tha theory that the man 'was
mentally unbalsnced.
Beatty waa given until Februsry 0 to
fulfill the agreement - Instead of dotttt
as he promiaed, hs left Salem and went
to Ban Francisco. How he happened to
be arrested there Is a mystery to ths po
lice and to the members of the firm
which lost ths curtains. They hsd not
Intended taking any steps in the mat
ter for ssvsraJ days ret on account of . a
knowledge of Beatty's financial standing
and a belief that be could be found at
anytime. ' . i ' f
The police .deny that the) arrest waa
made at their request One theory en
tertained Is that Attorney McMahan may
have discovered that Beatty bad gone to
San Francisco, and sent word to have
him held. :-,-. ..... ... . , .
The fact that Beatty left Salem and
went to San Frsaclsco to avoid paying
140 for the curtains has strengthened tha
belief that the man has become Insane. :
