, board. H declared be would follow the
Instruction of the city council, which
ordered htm Wednesday to withhold the
.' salary of the police captain pending the
result of an investigation Into the legal-
Jty of his appointment, because the
council controls the appropriations of
' money to meet the expenses of the city.
The special committee appointed to
t-eonduct' the investigation- has- postponed
.the Inquiry for another week for the
stated reason that the city attorney's
- office is not able-to handle the matter,
t That there are breakers ahead for the
. city council In this matter Is predicted
by nearly every person who is familiar
with the circumstances surrounding the
appointment. .The examination for cap

- examinations under, the federal civil
service, say these people. .- The knowl
edge of the men Jo the duties- of the
office and their efficiency as officers
wss passed upon by Captain Nevlns.
. superintendent of the- local Pinkerton
detective bureau, and Postmaster Minto,
who formerly; was chief of . police. ...
The men were marked according to
their" practical knowledge of matters
which would corns under the surveil
lance of a captain of police In this city.
Captain' Bruin was marked highest on
the list because he displayed the great
est amount of Intelligence.
The members of the commission, 'of
which W. I Brewster and P. L. Willis,

bers. looked carefully into the charter
provisions regarding length of residence
'. of applicants berore passing upon cap
tain Brain and certifying his name to

the proceedings leading up to the ap
pointment are said "to be legal accord
Ing to the charter and the rules of the

1 In' the arguments - on the demurrer
if r.. Mnlr- took the -position that , the
legislature; had no right to deprive any
. person, minor or otherwise, of the right
to contract bis services for any -given
time. The law was also excepted to by
. the defendant as class legislation.
- Many Beelsloaa.
- In ' presenting the argument of the
' state. Mr. Oalloway held that a long
' tine, of decisions sustained the right of
any . legislature to enact laws for all
the people of a given kind, and when
the 'Oregon statute provided that all
minors were , subject to Its restraints,
the measure could not be regarded claae
legislation. In regard to the constitu
tional privilege of contracting services,
the .usual limitations that are thrown
. around minora were mentioned as an in
' stance where law and uasge recognised
the right of society to protect the young.
; In - Illustration, the necessity for
guardians and lack of voting privileges,
with other Instances, were cited.' The
state's attorney also argued that the
- right ef the legislature to guard minors
was beyond question, and if ..satisfied
that the Oregon statute had been framed
with usual regard to the Interests ol
society, the courts could not question
the legislature's exercise of such rights.

Accused by Pendleton Man and
Says He Is an English Heir.

Pendleton. Or- Dec. I. Percy Evans,
who is accused of passing four worth
less checks upon' different people In
this city, .and . who came up mlsslnr.
was captured and arrestea at onaa
lata last evening. He passed checks
amounting to more than $500. It was
through the efforts or Alarnnai uoriraan
that the trickery was found out, who
was given a check of 1400 to cash, but he
immediately telephoned to Portland to
find out if It was good.' The check was
drawn upon the Canadian yank of Port
land, -as-also were, the others, and la
response to the Inquiry It wss learned
that Evans bad no funda deposited there.
According to the, story told by young
Kvans his- father is one of the largest
distillery owners-ln the world, and l
very wealthy. Ills mother, so he says.
Was ' one" of the ladlea-ln.wsltlng to
Queen Victoria up to the time of that
lady's death- As to how he rams to
sojourn In Pendleton there is some mys
tery. According to his statement he was
sent to Portland to serve as s Id-decamp
to British Consul Laldlaw-during
the Lewis and Clark fair, but Just how
he acquired the position of head waiter
at Bingham Springs, a small station on
the O. -K. e. N. line a. few miles xrora
bere. Is not known. '
During tils stay at Bingnam . npnngs
Kvans made a number of acquaintances
In Pendleton, among them being Mar
shal Coffman, and yesterday when be
stated teat nia nouie tamer naa arnvea
in Portland, It was supposedly to meet
his father that he left here, but it was
learned that he left for Spokane, and be
fore arriving there was captured at
Colfax and brought to Pendleton last
night. ..:... ,;
Mystery la connected with the Evans
affair, as during his stay bere he re
ceived letters from a woman in England
purporting to. be his mother- and it la
stated that he also received checks of a
large denomination, not spurious, from
her. It Is certain that he -always had
plenty of money and he had more than
1100 when he bunkoed Pendleton people
with worthless paper.- That he bad an
accomplice In Portland la also thought
certain, for he was heard to telephone
some man whom he called "father", and
whom he aald was ill In a hospital there.
Theories are advanced that tne Engi
llshman is one of a gang of erooka who 1
had : him located here In the hope ot
making a big 'haul," and it la believed
that startling facts will be learned
when Albert Percy Watmough-Evans Is
returned to tais city.' his neanng wiu
some up Monday .morning.
' donau Laldlaw when asked regarding
the Statement made by Evans, replied
that there was absolutely no truth In
It. - Inquiry at the different hotels and

one connected with the man now under

powers, fell victims to his unlawful
work.- ' -
In this cltv the arrested man. went
under the nsme of Percy Watnough.
Many who are aald to have loat money
by him were unwilling to prosecute be
cause they, did not desire the notoriety
which would come With puDlicuy." a
complaint charging Watnough with ob
taining money by false pretenses, now-
ever, was filed June It by F. H. Powers,
proprietor of the Hotel Oxford, snd a
warrant of arrest Issued by Harry
Hogue,-then police judge, Descriptive
circulars were sent out and the authori
ties of large number of cities asked
to arrest Watnough on signt.
He went from here to Pendleton and,
alnrularlv enourh. remained there for
almost six months without being seen
by sny person whom he is said to have
victimised or the authorities discover
ing his identity.
His method of obtaining money Is to
represent himself as a young , English
nobleman and to move In the highest
social circles. - He received large re
mlttsnoes from bis relatives, 'but
sauandered the coin and borrowed from
all his acquaintances. In a few-Instances
at Pendleton he drew .checks on the
Canadian Bank of Commerce ot Port
land, though he had no funds in the in
