HIS TRIAL RESUMED.
Capt. Prices Case Continued by
the Police Board To-Day.
Important Witnesses Have Mystic
riousIy Disappeared.
Gambling Tools Hastily Removed
from Alderman Parks's House.

The trial OF Police Capt. James X.
Price, OF the West Thirty-seventh street
station, who Is charged with neglect Of
duty In failing to suppress an alleged
gambling den In Alderman Charles
Parks's house at 35 West %Thirty-frst
street. was resumed before the Police
Commissioners at II o'clock this morn
ing.
Inc trial was begun a week ago Mon
day. and was twice adjourned because
of the failure OF Capt. Price to produce
material witnesses. The most important
witness. William Stone. who. It is
claimed. leased the nouse from Alderman
Parks, end his daughter. Mrs. Thomp-
son, who was his housekeeper. mystic
riously disappeared Immediately after 1t
was positively proven that gambling had
been going on in the house. Subpoena
servers from Police Headquarters
secured the city without success for
some trace OF either Stone or Mrs.
Thompson.
Capt. Price insisted that he. too, had
exercised every power at his command
to find the missing persons, but they
seemed to have disappeared as COM
pletely as II the earth had opened and
swallowed them.
Another important witness is Abe
Hyman. who piloted Reporter Sullivan
to the house. Neitler capt. Price nor
the detectives from Headquarters have
succeeded in locating him. The Com
missioners have had officers out for d
week hunting for some clue to his
whereabouts, but their efforts. according
70 their sworn statements, We're. pro-
ductive OF no better results than those
OF Capt. Price and his men.
Why any OF these witnesses should
run away is. in the estimation of the
Commissioners, a matter OF very plain
inference. There was no intention to
prosecute or punish them in any way.
They were even promised immunity
from possible arrest for the purpose OF
detention. 1t is not believed that the
parties left the city OF their W wolf

was brought 10 bear TO place them out

That there is less interest in this

to be a fact, for at 10 o'clock this morn

There were not a dozen strangers on

COULDN'T GET A STEAMER.
Consequently the River Was Alive With
Boats Saturday Night.

' DOdAo ANlbhN'
To one on the outside, it looked very
much like the river would be alive with
guardians of the law on Saturday night
as deputy sheriffs, deputy game pro-
tectors, and the gamekeepers themselves
/, from both Oregon and Washington
were hustling around in the afternoon,
apparently making preparations for a
, night raid on whoever dared venture
out fishing under the cover of darkness.
Game Warden Mcclure left on the
Iris for Ilwaco early in the evening,
but not without an understanding with
Commissioner Crawford, who 1t was ar
ranged should meet him on the other
side later in the evening and together
with posse of deputies they would
patrol the river. sAs the night wore on
1t became plainly evident that there
would be no boat carrying officers on
the river that night, for the Washington
commissioner retired early, announcing
that he was unable to secure steamer
for love or money, all of them being
engaged" Sheriff Hare was not in
the city, and the Oregon commissioner
was on the other side. doubtless in a
fever heat at the nonappearance of Mr.
Crawford and his deputies. 1t was too
dark just then to distinguish whether
there were any boats out or not, but
anyone who happened on the waterfront
at dayhreak on Sunday morning met a
sight that would have made the COM
missioners weep with anger All over
the broad bay, which at that hour in
the morning was as placid as sheltered
millpond, dark objects moved about, the
muffied sound of oars telling only too
plainly that they were fishboats, and
from the hurried manner In which they
were being pulled, ii showed they were
loosing no time in making shore before
Old Sol frightened up the waters, when
they could easily be seen. 1t was hard
work for them. as there was not enough
breeze blowing to stretch their sails,
and the homeward trip had to be ac-
by good, strong pulling.
In one Of the down town cafes, wherel
fishermen usually drop in for an early
morning cup of coffee, several hardy
fellows were openly telling that they
had been out fishing, and from their
1t is supposed that fish
were running heavier than usual.
There does not seem to be much Of
sentiment against the men who ilshed
night. in fact many PROMINENT
men declare the law unjust and should
be repealed. There is no telling just
what the future win bring forth
