local army of gamblers has been the
Portland club, located lit Fifth and
Alder streets, and owned by Peter
(Irani, Nnthun Solomon and Harvey
hale. It has been part and parcel of .
(he republican machine, and Grant,
Holoinon and Dale have been among
those who lit tended the Inner councils
of the politicians.
Two political campaigns have been
fought, based largely upon the ar
rangement effected with the Portland

however, appeared to be the sheriff's,
and victory came today, when ths
pleas of guilty wers entered In all
cases against the Portland club own
