The criticism of Kay1 a action made
by Attorney John F. Logan haa the
approval of Mr. Fltsgerald and tho
court. Kay was cautioned b Mr. Flts
gerald when tha .complaint was filed
to make sure that Frit Bee litem, one of
the proprietors of ' the Quelle, named
aa defendant, knew the Richards womsn
to be a disorderly character. He failed
to bead thle advice and secured a war
rant of arreat from" Frank Henneasy,
clerk of the court, with the reault that
when the casea were called thle morn'
ing not only was , there no evidence
Showing Seohtem to be morally
sponsible, but not scrap ofrtestU
mony oven ahowlng the woman to be
guilty of the offense charged.- In faot.
Been tern is out of ths city-and the
complaint had to be changed r to make
Baron Bchlenk defendant.
It waa shown by ths testimony that
Violet Richards wss a disorderly woman
alx montha ago, at which time she left
I the city, She returned a few dajg ago
and nothing waa In -evidence -to ehow
that age adheres to hsr former mode
eif life. Tha nrnajimitlAfi - felling tn
make a proper ahowing the woman waa
discharged. ' By . request - of Attorney
Logan tho charge against Bchlsnk was
continued until tomorrow.
Mr. Fltsgerald aald: - ' ' . ' r
"If a disorderly woman should go to
tho Portland or Oregon grill and tha
proprietor did not know her be would
not be morally . reeponelble for Belling
her a cocktail or a glass of whiskey or
bear before her meal. The police are
supposed to know these women. When
they see them In a saloon K la thalr
duty to notify the proprietor of thalr
character and have them elected.' Then,
If the proprietor harbors ' them again,
having bean notified of their reputation.
he should be arrested and convictions
will alwaye reault.
'-There la no law prohibiting a restau
rant man from selling a meal or drinks
with a meal to a disorderly woman, 0ha
certainly haa tha right to live."
"It ia the offenders tne law la aimed
against," ' aald Police Judge Cameron,
"not women who are trying to reform.
Everything possible ahould bo done te
help these women to lead better Uvea
Instead of trying to drag them ' down
