"PORTLAND MUNICIPAL ASSOCIA ' TIQN."- . -. ,. .-. - - - . . Municipal Association Also Declares Mayort and Chief Have Known Constantly of " Conditions Existing in City. NATION fJOT READY FOR WAR; PACIFIC V STATES HELPLESS (Continued from Pae One.) " In It effort to Vclean up" th clt7 the Portland Municipal association has Is sued an open letter to the citizens of Portland. The letter reads: ' , ., . "The,-Portland Municipal sociatim, having entirely, ' and rather lgnouUnl ously, failed to receive any belp from Joseph Simon, mayor of the city, or from Arthur M. Cox, chief of police, or . from Robert L. Stevens, sheriff of this county, or from Geprge J. Cameron, the district attorney, or from: the last grand Jury, of which H. A. Ueppner ,was fore man, in its attempt to secure enforce ment, of the laws covering prostitution, sale of alcoholic liquors to women anil minors In saloons, the sale of such liquors on Sunday, gambling" and like ffenses agalnBt and lnfactions of the taw, all of which Tiave been car Med on openly In thlikcity for a long time past, and having at times met with actual obstruction from officials sworn to en . force the laws, It finally concluded that the only course open to It was to appeal slrectly to the people of this city. This was done In a communication which was published in the Telegram and in The Journal last Saturday evening. "Since the said communication, oth er articles have appeared on the sub ject, purporting to quote statements of Mayor Simon and Chief of Police Cox from which it appears that these men have, in this matter, .assumed an air M virtuous, yet shocked, surprise, ming led with incredulity. ,They also express a desire for more light on the subject. and of having the whole matter ' again referred to another grand Jury,, for fur ther investigation i , ; tlf ; Blame Simon as "Manage." ' f "ThJS' has often been said to be a business administration" of the . city's affairs. . Mayor Simon is the people's business manager. If any manager of any mercantile or manufacturing con , cern were to plead Ignorance of so Im portant, a part of the affairs In his charge as the subject under discussion la of" the affairs-of this city, hlssteward shlp would, not Jong be tolerated. It is ; the '. business and sworn duty of the mayors. to know about these conditions and he does know about them, ' Ha has heeh Informed - of them and they are matters of common, knowledge. "It the statements of Chief of Police Coai as -.a his. Ignorance of the situation need refutation, It should be known that , more than. week .before Jhet publica tion of the said communication,- he had keen furnished .with a list of the names and addresses of the places complained or ,Dy me .Municipal association. tie did, nothing, t Moreover !; the condition has frequently been called to hla atten tion, for more than a yeaf last past s.: Attpi failing to secure results from tne mayor, enter i ponce or tne snerur, the district, attorney was applied "to. . Atet much urging on the part of the Municipal .association, and much relu tance and evasion on hlB , part -;v the agents of , the ; association were finally permit tod to appear - before ijthe grand Jury with the evidence they had secured, in 'some 19 different cases. That this evidence was sufficient to . justify the jury in bringing in Indictments against the guilty persons, is shown by the ' language of ihe foreman, Mr.' Heppner, . who said,. In effect that the condi tions: had proved to be so demoralising I that to have done so 'w.ould have turned jths whole town upside down.' 1? ,WU1 Ignore Officials. i " "The Municipal association wishes , to fsay, at this time, that It will not volun t tarlly again appeal for aid to eithef of i the first named wo officials. Neither "will it voluntarily; appear, before any more- grand - Juries with 'Mr Cameron jas its sword and buckler. It considers : i that such action would be not only , useless, but a waste of time. f i "There iwere witnesses who made statements and admissions to the agents of the association, to the effect . that the police were fixed' - and -being paid for roteetton,' whom the grand Jury 1mm had the power to compel to tes tify as to the facts, but did not sub poena. These witnesses are now scat tered . Md - their personality and the facts to which they were to testify no - doubt have been made known to those meet Interested. In defeating the efforts of the association. .' Under .the circum stances this evidence could not now be relied npon. 'The cases have now been practically quashed and the .work of. the association wasted. For these reasons to talk of presenting these matters again to the grand Jury, as- Mayor Simon and Chief Cox suggest, Is Idle and they know It -- 9''" "Chief Cox is indignant at the asser tion of the association that the laws of the state and city ; are not being en-, forced, and as evidence that they are enforced and of good faith and the care which he exercises in these matters, he proffers the statement voluntarily, that when he first took office he visited all of the houses of prostitution In the city and warned all the madames' (as he calls them), and tne Inmates, not to pay a cent toi protectlon,rwh!ch'unlaw ' ful action on his part seems to be his idea of his duties as chief . of police. Think of itl The chief of police going around and Visiting 'all of the mad mes' engaged' in criminal traffic, and peddlingfthe advice to them to keep their hands on their pockstbooks, in stead of closing their houses of prosti tution as it was and is his sworn duty o.do.! . :;..:.. V Statements Called Conclusive. "Again he says, 'When the mayor or dered all the houses of prostitution "closed in the north end, I did It ; thor oughly, and, the women went to the south end.' : No further evidence of the truth of the assertions of the Municipal association were, needed than these statements of Chief of Police Cox him self. They are conclusive as to the con ditions, and as to his knowledge of : them. ; His own evidence is all that a ! grand! jury will need for an investlga i tlon and for-indictments. " If Mayor Si mon stands for a clean city, as he says . he does, why did he accept this rubter- fuge and evasion as compliance with his said orders? -.(- "After having tried all the men and methods provided, by the law to secure law enforcement and failed, an appeal , has been made to the over lord of these unjust servants, to the people of this , i;ltjf ,UiJiielva..lnppel torhlp in this battle for right and decency; to the fathers and mothers of the sons and daughters - whose 'footsteps are being 1 beguiled and led astray; to all home i dwellers; and to all good citizens, both rich and poor, who desire to make of this city a decent abiding pUce for This was the substance of the report sent to congress yesterday by Secretary of War Dickinson in response to a reso lution by Representative iMcLachlan of California and was returned unread be cause' it was tnaxKed "confidential." The document, it is said, wilt be presented to congress today, with the word "confi dential" removed and will then be off! daily given to the public. , That It shows an alarming (state of unreparedness, especially on the JPa- cine coast, is admitted., The report, it is declared, says the country is wholly unprepared for war that there is a lack of the proper kind of men in the army; that there is a great need for guns and ammunition, for an Increase of mobile force and for improvement and exten sion of fortifications for coast defense. This is the official report. which General Leonard Wood prepared for the war department and which Secretary Dickinson passed on, replying to a reso lution risking whether the country could withstand an invasion on the Pacific coast by an Asiatic power. The report, as made by General Wood. is said to have answered "no" very frankly to .the question. . It Is expected that Secretary Dickin son will answer Speaker Cannon's let ter Informing him that congress could not receive a report , marked "confidential." Representative McLachlan, : whose resolution was the cause of the prepa ration of the document, intends to force the publication of the report if possi ble..

I tlon; If we are not prepared fur war the people have a right to know It "It would be, a crime against tne people and the betrayal of pos terity to ' deceive the public re garding the true situation. If we have an adequate army and Inadequate national defense, now is the time, when we are at pei.ee with the world, for the public to know it Now is the time to correct the situation before It is too late." I will fight to a finish to force the publication of this report" Other members, including Richmond Pi Ilohson, of Alabama, who Is an expo nent of naval expansion, agree that fur ther concealment ef the facts in the case would be criminal. Whole Country Should Know.. Representative McLachlan said 'that the fact that the war department con sidered the report alarming did not sur prise him. but that if such were the case he regarded it as a proper matter for the people to know and -act upon. The defenseless state Of the Pacific coast, he said,' was a matter of common knowledge to those who had-, studied conditions there, but . he did - not be- lleve the country at large realized that a foreign enemy could be landed which could destroy communication with . the east and hold the states west of the Rocky mountains for months before the rest of the country could make arty at tempt to dislodge the invaders, , .' It Is to correct this condition that be hopes, congress will provide ways and means, and It was to bring the matter to the attention of congress officially that the report was asked for. J v That the report wUl ? substantiate statements that McLachlan has. made, that ; It wonld be easy for a : foreign enemy t land large forces practically I without opposition and. that it would be a long time before-the proper de fenses and an adequate army could be provided, even If congress acted prompt ly. Is admitted by those who examined it . The desire of the secretary of wart to j make the report confidential and the t questions his '- action Involved have I tended to center the attention of con-' gresBmen on the matter, and when it Is finally submitted, as it is expected it will be, they believe the report will be read with considerable more interest than it would receive If It came in the ordinary course of business. t . r v ilElEULlATISD - b most painful ', WIIAT'O GOOD?
