VICE PROSECUTOR BLAMES WOMAN HOME RULE LEADER
RELATES HOW HIS FOR LURING MAN VICTIM OF ATTACK
iiiAni m iiiimrnrnl
Practice of Certain City Offi
"cials Defending Persons Ar
rested by Police, Hurts the
Cause, Asserts Esterly.
The practice by certain city officials
of undertaking the defense in court of
persons accused of law violations con
" i stltutes one of the hardest features he
----has had to combat in the present vice
situation m Portland, according to H.
: M. Esterly, special prosecutor in vice
'' cases.
' - "When men high in the city adminis
tration, as attorneys, will personally
' take up the legal defense of persons
arrested by policemen who are under
them, what are you to expectT Bald
i. .:' Mr. Esterly today.
"W'heri the policeman sees his boss
i defending a prisoner against whom he
Is the complaining witness. Is he likely
to press the case very hard? Could he
' be expected to do sowhjn in" so doing
he would be opposlng.iomeone with a
. good deal of power over the policeman's
Job? The result, Just as might be ex
, ' pected, is a dearth of convictions In
j which the prisoners are thus defended.
can't Blama Follccmsn.
"That is a situation gtave enough,
but the effect of one such case on the
police-Is a good deal more far,-reaching
than through the mere Importance of
' i the case Itself. When a perBon Is ar
rested for violating the law and gets
orf In the police court with a city offl
' Jclal defending him. the police go slow
In arresting other persons for similar
offenses, and the acquitted person In
V -rany event is not likely to be brought
" Into court again If the policeman be
lieves the law violation has been re
, peated.
"Of course, you can't blame the po
liceman. He Is likely to believe his
, Job depends on It, and naturally Is not
.anxious to incur the displeasure of his
' superiors. If he loses enthusiasm It Is
' what most folks would do In the same
circumstances.
"It only emphasises the Insidious
character of the evil resulting from tihs
practice by city officials. Their mo
tives may be of the best, but the effect
can only be to cause the police to slack
enthelr ef fortr against law breakers.
West In Conference.
I "It 1 a practice that Is Itself a vlola
. tlon of law under the United States
statutes If government officers followed
IV but unfortunately there is no city
ordinance In Portland that seems to
cover the situation. At the very best,
It Is certainly remarkably poor taste
on the part of the public official,
, sworn to do his duty and enforce the
laws, to help persons evade these laws."
Governor West was In Mr. Esterly's
office this morning, and held a confer
ence with the special prosecutor and his
four deputies. Every bit of the work
' ' done In the vice crusade so far, and the
plans for the future, were gone over In
- minute detail. Governor West expressed
; his entire satisfaction with what has
been accomplished and Mr. Esterly's
plans.

lata.
After his escape Sir Edward Carson
and the other, unionist leaders went to

The detective department was in
formed yesterday that a shot had been
heard Monday night in a room in some
building at"ourth and Washington
streets, and that It had followed a quar
rel heard on the outside. The report
was investigated with the Idea that it
might have some possible bearing on
the Barr case, but the officers say that
It proved to be merely a rumor, of
which they have heard many since the
shooting.
No further tangible evidence than has
already been gathered by the police was
presented at the Inquest yesterday aft
ernoon. The woman who was taken to
The Hut by Barr Monday night in com
pany with C. A. Bartcher and C. V.
Baldwin, and whose name has been kept
secret, was not called s a - wttrress.
Balwin and Bartcher told of being
taken out to tho roadhouse by Barr,
and of having returned before midnight

practically admit that they have de-
veloped their ease to a point where sus-'

ho is the guilty person, has some five '
days' start on the law, It has been
learned that certain descriptions have I
been sent out, however, and that the
man wanted, by tho local officers may
be taken ere long.

Explains Why Taft Is What He
Is and How Roosevelt Stole
Democratic Policies.
(Special to The Journl.)
Idaho Falls, Idaho, Sept. 81. Address
ing 6000 people assembled on the high
school grounds, William J. Bryan made
one of the two speeches he will make In
Idaho on his western tour. The speech
of the distinguished Commoner was cut
short because of delay in the arrival of
the train but he talked for more than
an hour on the Issues of the day.
He said Taft was honest and sincere
but was not in touch with the common
people, due to birth, environment and
the interests with which he was sur
rounded. He flayed Roosevelt unmerol
fi lly as an eleventh hour progressive
. .in has taken up the policies advocated
in llryan and the Democrats for 80
. i-ais, now that the victory has been
won. He also gav 'oosevelt credit for
honesty and sincerity, but said his great
fault was his towering egotism.
He Illustrated his points with apt
anecdotes and kept the big crowd In
fine good humor. He closed with a
plea for the election of Wilson and
Marshall and the Democratic state
ticket.
On arrival here he was entertained at
breakfast by local Democrats and left
at 11:35 for Pocatello, where he will
make his second Idaho speech this after
noon. The train's departure was de-
Nebraskan and allow him to finish his

In Montana Campaign Com
moner Says Roosevelt Is
All Wrong on Trusts.
(United Prom Leased Wire.)
Butte, Mont., Sept. 31. After cam
paigning Montana for "Wilson and the
Democratic ticket, William J. Bryan
closed his work In Butte last night. The
commoner spent most of his effort in
attacking Roosevelt's trust policy. Re
ferring to Colonel Roosevelt, he said:
"I say to you with deliberation and
with emphasis that no man In the his
tory of this "nation has ever taken a
position on the trust question so hostile
to the safety and welfare of the Ameri
can people.
"He says lh his platform and his
speeches that we ought not try to pre
vent monopolies, but we should Just
control them. I remind you that for
seven and one half years he was pres
ident, and he not only did not control
the trusts, but the trusts controlled
him. I remind you that while he was
president the steel trust went to him
and, while a panio was on, threatened
another an 4 terrorised him Into con
senting to the absorption of its largest
rival.
"Mr. Roosevelt stands for the very
doctrines that the trusts have been de
manding, vis: That they shall be rid of
the state regulation and relieved from
the embarrassment of legislative action.
Mr. Roosevelt wants to center the power
at Washington. After admitting that
the trust Is here to stay, he will allow
It to go on, to spread and grow, and he
would strHte tlwiv-4e tMw f tve
state to control It, and he would take
from congress and the courts the power
and put It In a bureau to be appointed
by the president.
"I challenge you to find anywhere a '
program which has so much of concen
tration, so much of centralization, so
much of the magnifying of the power
of the chief executive of the nation."

Tangle Over Senatorship Said
r to Be to Senior Senator's
Advantage.
Jonathan Bourne, whose uncertain at
titude la disturbing tne minds of the
politicians favoring candidates already
In the field for United States senator,
is now causing uneasiness of mind li
the Progressive! party, which refused
him a nomination at Salem.
State Senator Dan Kellaher, long the
champion of Bourne and original Bull
Mooser, Is now. outr with a call to the
frlenflaQXlBQurnfctQ-aasemble at the
east- aide library- next - Monday -night
He does not say just what is to be done,
but the purpose is understood to be to
extend a loud call to Bourne to become
a candidate. ' -
This Is done with the understanding
that Bourne 'Is waiting for "the call."
The senior senator has avoided telling
anybody what he intends to do, naively
declaring that he does not know him
self, therefore cannot Inform others.
The Progressive party difficulty
comes from the fact that It has already
made a nomination for senator in the
person of A. E. Clarki Kellaher1 was
a member of t'he Salern ' convention
which nominated Clark In preferenoe to
Bourne and F. W. Mulkey. Some of
the Progressives say. Kellaher '.should
be bound by the action of the conven
tion and they do not take kindly to his
boosting for Bourne.
,Jt ,laTeAlUeiUhat JEourne enters
he will draw part Of the Clark Progres
sive vote. Opinions are varied as to
whether he will draw more from Ben
Selling, the regular Republican, or from
Harry Lane, the Demoeratlo nominee.
Some of the friends of Selling say they
want Bourne in the fight, others say no,
and the same Is true of the supporters
of Lane.
AH around it is a tangle, from which
friends of Bourne believe he may profit.
