AN OPERA BOUFFE STAND
Democratic Governor With Negro Pri
vate Agent Would Make Good
Moving Picture.
I A dispatch from The Dalles dated
Sunday, June 1, tells a story of the sud
den activity of Governor West in that
J little city, in the way of cleaning up
the red-light district. The governor,
went at it in first-class grand stand
shape. He did not say anything to the
sheriff or the other officers, but just
butted in, and took charge of the affair,
' much as he did in Portland.
The governor said in an interview
Sunday:
'"While passing through The Dalles
some time ago on a train I saw women
on the porch of one of your resorts in
their gaudy clothes and painted faces.
I was taunted by friends, who said:
'That is the way the la wis enforced.'
I decided to investigate, and sent spe
cial agents here. They gathered evi
dence, and I ordered them to close the
TesortB. Sheriff Chrisimnan refused to
lock the prisoners up, so I came up hero
today to see that they are confined and
the houses closed. I have no desire to
i prosecuto the poor girls who have been
in houses or the so-called 'guests' who
were caught. That 's up to the district
attorney, and I have no suggestion to
make. All I desire is that the houses
be closed and that the landladies and
l their maeques be prosecuted. ' My spe
cial agents, Prosecutor Ringo and the
militiamen will romain in The Dalles
until the cases are disposed of."
The governor sent three special
agents to The Dalles, Tom Kay, James
T. Williams and George A. Ycaton, one,
Williams, a negro, at one time em
ployed as a cook in a local restaurant
there, to investigate the situation.
These and Truant Officer Bemington,
alone knew of the intended raid, which
wns made Saturday night. Four local
ministers were sworn in as deputies by
CnnqlntilA TTitrnnr wlin nrai nnll.,.1 ..
., ,,.
on to make the raid, and 32 women and
one man were arrested. The sheriff was
called up about midnight, but he re
vised to look the prisoners in jail with
out a commitment, especially as the
prisoners were brought to him by
strangers, and who, so far as he knew,
had no authority to make arrests and
the whole party was held under guard
all night at the Washington hotel. When
Attorneys Fred W. Yilson and R. R.
Putter tried to see the prisoners they
A were refused admission, and the bie
negro shoved a gun at Attorney Butler,
who, by the, way, is a state senator,
and the latter, after being roughly
VanillaI rrnl '.a Y.a.,1. am.:....t 4W 1 1
uu.'..v.i, nv "' BKalufl 1113 nan.
and threatened to shoot the first one
who touched him.
Sunday morning Governor West,
with 11 militiamen and Attorney Ringo,
of Portland or Salem raided The
Dalles and took charge of the situation.
Sheriff Chrisman imprisoned those un
der arrest. The governor says he only
wants the keepers of the resorts and
the man C'arTol prosecuted, the latter
' .' . for living off the earnings of a woman.
I Just why the governor took the militia
to The Dalles is a mystery, and why he
has conceived the idea that Ringo is
the only honest and competent attorney
in the state, is another. The matter is
lip before Judge Bradshaw today, and
as "Brad" is not excitable, and level
headed, the matter will probably be set
tied without calling out any more
1 1 oops.

Jefferson City, Fo., June 2. Colonel
William Nelson, publisher of the Kan

state supreme court, released today from
contempt of Judge Guthrie, of Kansas
City, on the ground that Guthrie, who
tried Nelson, had prepared his verdict
that Nelson was guilty on the night be
fore the trial. The opinion said:
"We are clearly of the opinion that
the publication (condemning Guthrie)
is neither literally or substantially
true, but was highly contomptous of the

Justice Brown concurred in the par

from the rest of the opinion.

' President Wilson also said he did not
contemplate testifying personally be

Complaint is made that there is I
mud hole on Lee street, between Nine

way. The street commissioner is re
quested by all who travel that way to
have that hole dug up and hauled away
or if that cannot be done, see Stolz or
some cf the concrete paving contractors
and have the "mix" changed; it is too
rich.

It is expected that there will be s
lurgo attendance at the Board of Trade
rooms tonight when the committee
named to consider the advisability of
organizing a new commercial club or
joining with the Illihee club will make
its report and action will he, taken on

Tlieic has been a strong sentiment ex
pressed for a booster commercial club
neparate from the Illihee club. Some
believe the club should have social fea

organization with the sole idea of
boosting would bring better results.
I'ndoubtedly there will be much of

Five robberies and an attempted one
occurred in this city last Saturday, one

Mrs. Joe 'Albert was the vicitm of the
daylight theft. She had just stepped
into the Capital National bank for the
purpose of making some final arrange
ments before leaving for Portland, and
Had loft her suitcase in the waiting au
tomobile. The traveling bag contained
Mrs. Albert's gown and other valuable
clothing which she intended to wear
while attending a weddiirg which was
to take place in Portland. When sho
returned to the machine, the suit case
was gone, and, up to the present time,
the police who were immediately noti
fied; have been unsuccessful in locating
the guilty parties.
Mrs. Albert valuos the clothing stolen
highly, but she was not detorod by rea
son of the fine garmonts being stolon,
and went to Portland on schedule time.
Dentist's Trousers Rifled.
While J. C. Griffith was Bloepiog
peacefully in his home, 1307 Court

and stole the dentist's trousers and
shirt, which were hanging in an adjoin
fWHA.nrt police wore notified, and
after a good long search, found the ap
parel in front of houses along 14th
street.
In summing up his loss, Dr. Griffith
finds that he Is out about $150. The
trouser's pockets contained a solid gold
watch and chain, $12 In money, a pock
et knlfo and other trinkets, whilo the
shirt was decorated with a pearl stud
and some handsome cuff and collar
buttons. The clothing was not damaged
in tho least when found by tho police,
but the valuable are missing and no

It is believed that the owner or owners
of the housebreaking tool may have
succeeded in forcing the rear door and
getting away with something.
The police are In the dark so far, due
to tho fact that no clew was loft at any

There are evidently two bands of burg

place any suspicion today as to who Is
