COUNTY CLERK
CAUGHT IN PINCH
HI
County Clerk Fields was one of the
last to make a deposit wits the Title
Guarantee & Trust company. On the
last day It was open for business he had
$515 placed to his credit, th money
having ueen derived from hunters'
license fees. In all h had about 12. mm)
of such fees In deposit with the Title
concern.
The county clerk divides his business
among the banks, having cash on do-,
posit in seven different banks. '!th
the Title Guarantee At Trust ho placed
the money that came from hunters'
licenses, amounting to about J4,5"0 per
year. From time to time he made re-1
mlttanees to the state treasurer. Aftrr'
tne holidays were declared he sent the'
treasurer a check on tho Title account,
but It was returned to him with the coin-! T'l'nnL'C stpil
ment that a check could not be received, i v.t'"'V mrui
but if ha would send the cash it would
be placed to his credit.
Mr. Fielnn is In doubt as to the status
of the 2,H00 deposited with the Title
concern. He Is certain that the county
Is not liable for it, the county clerk
being In this case the collector for the
state. As to whether he In personally
liable for the amount he does not know.
There is no bubonic plague in Fort

Health Officer Ksther C. I'ohl. I'r.
Pohl stated today that the only thing
to give oxrusu for a report that tho

before the city hoallh board yenterday.
lr. Mattaon stated t the meeting
that he had examined about 4't rats and
two of them were of suspicious charac
ter but that the probability un tin y

PWBERG BANKS NOT
g HURT. BY TROUBLE
Convinced that there Is a grave ques
tion as to the legality of proceedings
in the police court in state cases where
final Judgment is Involved during the
legal holidays now being declared by
Governor Chamberlain, Deputy District
Attorney Dert Haney announced today
that only preliminary proceedings would
be taken up In the future.
"After examining carefully the stat
ute covering the matter I believe there
Is a doubt as to the legality of sentenc
ing defendants convicted in the police
court," says Haney. "My interpretation
of the law is that we uun without dan
ger of reversal by the upper courts deal
with preliminary matters where Judge
Cameron Hits soil ly as a magistrate, but
In cases going to final judgment ho be
comes a court, and is to my mind pro
hibited from acting during legul holi
days. At any rate, there is a question,
anjl I do not intend to take any
chances."
Haney's stand Is believed to be tho
result of the announced Intention of
an attorney to ask for a writ of habeas
corpus in the federal courts in tho case
of B. H. Hoekwald the "Rns meter
thief" who was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment several days ago by
Judge Cameron on t he grounds that he
is deprived of his liberty without du
process of law. Vii t if a judicial de

SEARCHERS HAVE CLUE
TO HAMANN'S RETREAT
Confronted by conflicting opinions
from the legal advisors of the stato
and county officers, County Clerk
Fields has decided to tilnv a safe gumo.
For the present at least he will con
tinue to refuse to record deeds or other
papers involving the title to property.
llecuuse of pressure brought to bear
within the lust few days irom those
who are anxious to transact business
with the county clerk's office, the coun
ty clerk yesterday requested uilvlee from
the attorney-general and the district at
torney. Uoth were prompt In reply
ing, Attorney-Oeneral Crawford using
tho telephone this morning to Inform
Mr. Fields there is no impediment to
opening hi" office ns usual. Later In
the day came a written opinion from
District Attorney Manning, containing
the contrary advice.
A mooting of the bar association to
discuss the question has been consid
ered, and Secretary Fisher today se
cured authorisation from V. M. Cake
president of tho association, to call tho
meeting. Mr. Cake Is at Uaker City,
and along with tho authorization to call
th meeting came the expression of
opinion that the clerk has no right to
open his office for recording Instru
ments. Because of the apparent di
vision of sentiment among numbers of
bur It has been decided to allow the
matter to rest for a few duys. and no
meeting has been called.
Mr Mannings opinion reads as fol
lows :
"Replying to your favor of Novem
ber 6, 1907, as to whether the county
lerk should record Instruments at this
time, I desire to say that section 100j
of iteiilnger and Cotton's code pro
vides that the county clerk shall kcop
his office open for the transaction of
business on every Judicial day from 8
to 12 o'clock In the forenoon, and from
1 to & o clock In the afternoon. And
section 946 of tho statutes, as amended
I by tho laws of 1S93. page 10.1, provide
that January 1, February 22. May 30,
j July 4, the first Monday In September,
and December 25, and any day on which
j an election is held throughout tho state,
I or any day appointed by the president
of the Cnlted Stales or by the governor
of this state, as a day of fasting.
thanksgiving or holiday, shall bo non
judicial days, except for certain pur
poses therein mentioned, which, In my
Judgment, does not in any way apply to
tho county clerk.
"This section appears to be the last
enactment of the legislature on tho sub
ject of non-JudlclaJ or holidays. I am,
therefore, of the opinion that you aro
not authorized toljoeelve or record In
struments or do tfusiness as a county
clerk on this day."
Construction Begins Where
Abandoned by Forces
Two Weeks Ago.
One of the best sign of the rapid
clearing of tho financial situation Is said
to be the ordering of resumption of
work on railroad projects that were
abandoned In the Pacific northweBt two
weeks ago. The Hurrlman companies
havo ordered work resumed in a num
her of places on new construction, and
lorcoa are belna- reoranlxed.
Work will be resumed Immediately on
tho II waco extension, tho Pendleton

home.
Miss Jacobs, according to the story
she told Deputy District Attorney Ha
ney yesterday afternoon, had trouble
with the musical director of the com
pany In Ban Francisco two weeks ago
and was given notice to quit. Hor time
expired yesterday and sho went to
Hairy Frazee, tho owner, and asked for
a ticket to Chicago, as It is the uni
versal custom in theatrcdom to furnish
transportation home to discharged ac
tors. Frazee, according to the story,
refused to give the ticket and Miss
.iwih told him he would havo to do
no; that she would make him do It,
whereupon the gentleman Is reported to
have said:
"How will you make me do it? It Is
a legal holiday here and you can't sue
me and the company will be oujt of the
state tomorrow.'' '
Miss Jacobs then sought out Mr. Ha
ney, who was unauie, nowever, iu uu
anything because of the hoHday. Con
sequently the owner of the show went
his way, leaving the lady to sing that
pathetic song of tho Royal Chef, "I want
to go back, oh please lake me back, to
my dear old Chicago home."
To make matters worse, Frazee let
out the old manager of the company at
the same time Miss Jacobs was re
leased and W. A. Junker was put in
charge. The old manager told Mr.
Haney that It was the custom of all
road companies to furnish transporta
tion to released members, but he was
unable to do. .anything for the girl.
W. A. Junker, the new manager, told
Haney that he had been given strict
orders to furnish no transportation to
Miss Jacobs, and that he knew nothing
of the case and so was not in a position
to assist her. Therefore Miss Jacobs
Is now stopping at the Antlers, waiting
for money from home. It is understood
that Frazee did the samw thing with an
other member of his company while
playing in Denver not long ago. ,

Tom Doyle was arrested by Detective

side streets on a charge of larceny. Tho
detective saw Doyle "lift" four pair
of shoes from the display-rack in front
of tha Hub clothing store and the ar
rest followed. The prisoner's record is
rlow being investigated.
Although a poker game was being
conducted openly In a lodging-house at
Second and Burnslde streets over Krlck

of the existence of the illegal gaming
until Robert Carlson, an unsuspecting
logger, had been "plucked of 1130 Dy

Then, upon the complaint of the vic
tim of the unscrupulous gamblers, De
tectives Baty and Maloney wore de
tailed to make an Investigation with the
result that eight arrests were made in
a raid on the place in question. The
police had no difficulty in gaining ad
mittance, although the way was barred
by a lormhiable strong door, similar to
those used In the Chlneso quarter.
In the municipal court this morning
Attorney iogan entered pleas or guilty
for the octette, and Judge Cameron im
posed 120 sines apiece. Hugo Frltx,
proprietor of the resort over which the
gambling den was conducted, sublets
the upper portion of the building to
Sheridan as a lodging-house and was
not aware of the existence of the game
until the raid.
Evidence tending to show that the
distributive rates of the O, R. A N. In

These rates, It was brought out, were
considerably higher than prevailed out

for the last lo years. He corroborate!
the testimony as given by Mr. Lewis
and Mr. Hahn concerning any material
reduction in rates und said that the
fforts of the Jobbers to tbls purpose
had been practically without result".
Mr. lloneyman said that what reduc
tions in rates had been made did not
redound to the benefit of the whole
salers of Portland. In a way. he said,
they have been almost restrictive in
aiding the city shipping Interests. He
did not believe the consumer had been
benefited In the least.
Questioned by Mr. Cotton relative to
tne rates in errect out or wpoKane, .Mr.
lionevmnn said they were not as low as
the people In general Imagined.
Basis fot mtg-olatlon.
Mr. Honeyman said the Idea of the
Jobbers in taking this action against
the railroad company was for the pur
pose of helping Portland and other
coast cities. The desire of these deal
ers, he said, was for a basis of rate
regulation. This was desired particu
larly so that goods could be shipped out
of Portland at a rate which would give
the wholesaler nnd the consumer the
benefit of a lower distributive rato.
After the examination of Mr. Honey
man, Attorney Teal said to the com
mission that he would like to have ta
bles produced by the railroad company ,
which would show tha value of the O.
R. A N. property In Oregon, and also
the cost or the road. A statement show
ing the actual cost of conducting the
company's freight business in the state
and a separate table relative to the In
terstate business was also suggested bv
Mr. Teal as possible evidence of throw
ing some light on the question.
Mr. Cotton objected to furnishing
these details on the ground that they
were Immaterial and that it would ne
cessitate a great deal of extra work,
and that the case would necessarily be
delayed. Acting upon tho suggestion of
Mr. Teal that the commission decide
should it desire any of these tables, the
matter will be taken under considera
tion by the commission members.
The oase will be continued tomorrow
morning, beginning at 9 o'clock In the
New Market building.
