There Is much to he rtaaii-aw k tk
politicians In Senator Bournes return
There are those who would like very
much to discuss the question of the
United States district sttorneyshlp.
The subject of Mr. Bristol's retention
or dismissal Is agitating the minds of
many and the attitude of Henator
Bourne Is a thing not rlearly under

choice there are others who would like
to be and who hare asked the sages to

On the Anxious Beat.
The coming senatorial contest for the
seat now occupied by Senator Fulton Is
a very great reason why Mr. iiourne
snouia return in the near future ac
oordlng to some of the politicians. He
is sain 10 De practically pledged to the
support of W. S. U'Ren In return for
wnai u en aid Tor him In the last
oampalgn and before, though this Is
denied by some of Bourne's friends.
U'Ren has not announced himself and
rumors have connected the Bourne help
ing hand with the boom of every other
candidate In the field, though the pref
erence has been given to Frederick W.
Mulkey on account of hla championship
of statement number one. All the can
didates therefore are anxious to secure
Just about 10 minutes of Mr. Bourne's
attention in order to find out from his
own lips Just where he stands In the
senatorial fight
Borne of Mr. Bourne's friends argue,
however, that it will be a verv irood

Of all the members of th nnr thus

Anderson Is known to have served time
In the federal orison in South. Dakota.
Both are known as expert revolver

Hie capes that hswe so long distin
guished Portland's policemen and given
them the appearance of ths constabulary
of their mother country are to go.
Chief of Police Orltimachsr has let fall
the dictum that the famous capes must
be sunDlanted bv common American
dvercoats by October 19, when ths foros
win hold a dress parade and inspection
In winter uniforms. ,
On the same day ths short sack coats
which the police wear In summer will
be put away with moth balls and the

donned. .
The new overcoVts are to be mads of
blue cloth of tha same color as ths uni

tons shining up and down ths front.
Those of the men and there are a good
many who feel hurt at the abolish
ment. of ths capes will be allowed tha
solace , of short blue capes on ths over

to be optional with the policemen, and
ars merely In ths way of a balm to ths
Injured" feelings, j The overcoats and
capes are not to be heavy, but ars to
be of light waterproof cloth.
Chief Oritsmacher, It Is sa!d. ordered
ths change because hs has for some
time been sensitive on the subject of
the capes which have excited as much
comment on the part of the country vis
itors to Portland as the horse cars of
New York have subjected the metropo
lis to.

Dr. Bogart, a dentist, and M. Bird, a
plumber, all testified that thev had
given Spencer bad accounts to collect,
and that he secured money from them
on the pretense that he intended to com
mence suit. The sneciflc allegation of
Holbrook Is (hat the defendant mulcted
him of $6.26 by this method.
The accused man did not deny secur
ing the sums testified to by the wit
nesses for the state, but held that there
had' been no criminal Intent shown.
Spencer also set up the defense that he
had not been given sufficient time by
Holbrook in which to prepare the pa
pers In the contemplated suit.
Deputy District Attorney Haney in
his cross-examination of Spencer effect
ually knocked the prisoner's claim of
having been admitted to the bar in New I
lorn state, rne aerenaant Decani e rat
tled under the rapid fire questioning,
and was forced to admit that he had
only 'practiced law in the inferior
courts. Judge Cameron hap taken the

central police station for ths 84 hours
ending at 10 o'clock this morning, when
by official count ths various policemen
of Portland arrested within ths city
limits 44 persons on charges of Intoxi
cation. This Is a very large Increase
over all previous records, according to
local police authorities. Ths daily av
erage arrests on drunkenness charges
range from 10 to 16.
Chief of Police Oritsmacher' and
other officials of the police department
are unable to give any reasonable ex
cuse for the large number of persons
gathered In yesterday, last night and
during the early hours this morning
other than possibly rainy weather had '
a depressing effect on many inhabitants.
