COURT HOUSE THE CAUSE
Sem, Annual Reports of Treasurer He'll

pleted and Will Be Read Before Coun-
ty Court Tomorrow.

The semi.annual reports of County
Clerk Clinton and County Treasurer
Heilbom will be made public at the
meeting of the county court on Satur'
dav. Both officials are at work upon
their exhibits, which viii show the tinan
cial condition of the county up to July
!.
Treasurer Heilborn stated today that
the county was II months behind with
its payments--that it is within II
months months of being on cash basis,
Once before, quite recently, the county
was only seven months behind, and Mr..
Heilborn was sanguine that the county
would soon be paying cash for every
thing it bought However, the court
house construction set it back four
.months. There is in possession OF the
treasurer about $1,000, the amount re-
uuired by law to be kept on hand
Clerk Clinton's report will show that
the Indebtedness OF the county Is about
S65,OOO. Everything considered, this is
a good showing. The best showing
made in previous years was that for the
quarter ended January |, 1905, when the
indebtedness was $4,000. About $50
900 was paid out of the general fund
on account of the court house eonstruc-
tion, and this sum represents the in
crease in the debt. The supreme court
of the state OF Oregon has quite recently
decided that a county can not have an
indebtedness in excess of $1,000, al.
though in the port o, Portland case
which involved identically the same
question as that upon which the court
house case hinged, the supreme court
made an exact opposite opposite ruling

Chief whitman then told of his de-

town in the vain endeavor to suppress
the gambling evil, and said that all.
with the exception of Sergeant Cook,
who spoke Chinese. were to great ex-
tent unsuccessful. Sergeant Cook
asked for his relief from duty, saying
that if he was compelled to stay he
would end in the hospital. The other
sergeants in turn were either relegated
for failure to suppress gambling or re-
lieved after repeated request to the
Chief for transfer. Sergeant Cook.
whs is at present stationed in China
town, is the only sergeant TO have been
assigned to the irksome detail a second
time.
APPOINTS SERGEANTS.
The first sergeant appointed by Witt
man on becoming Chief was Campbell.
He was followed by Sergeant Cook,
who practically received his police and
Chinatown schooling under Whitman
at a time when Whitman was a SER
geant in charge of the Chinatown
squad.
After staying in Chinatown until al
most a wreck, Cook was relieved and
Sergeant Coogan appointed. Coogan
had been on the onerous detail barely
a month before he applied for relief
and got it. Sergeant Blank was the
next appointee and Chief Whitman told
of the circumstances connected with
his appointment. According to Chief
Whitman. Coogan and Blank have
been and are bitter enemies, and when
Coogan was relieved Whitman placed
Blank there, confident that the latter
would find out and report any delin-
quencies of his predecessor
MAYOR INVESTIGATES.
At this time the Mayor was making
an investigation and could find no evil
dence connecting the police with ac-
cepting hush money. He suggested,
however, that a notice warning Chi
nese against paying money to any one
under promises Of protection from
raiding be posted. This suggestion was
carried out and notices in Chinese and
English were posted under the super
vision of Detective Sergeant Mcmahon
Sergeant Sylvester followed Blank In
Chinatown and was succeeded by
Christensen. and soon afterward the
injunction, which lasted nine months.
was granted. Sergeant Ellis, who had
been twice promoted for bravery, and
had no stain on his record, was next
made Chinatown sergeant and received
the Chiefs fullest confidence. Ellis
was removed after Hutton made his
famous raid and Cook was reinStated.
Whitman testified that the Chinatown
quarter had always been source OF
anxiety to the heads of the department
and that Chiefs Crowley and Sullivan
had spent many sleepless night over
its affairs He then went on to tell OF
the decrease in the number of gam
bling clubs and his own visits to

Isaac Selby, convicted by jury in
Judge Lawlor's court on a charge of
assault to murder for taking a shot at
Judge J. c. B. Hebbard on November
2S, was sentenced yesterday to serve
seven years in San Quentin. His re-
quest to be deported to Australia to
serve his time there had previously
been denied.
When Selby was asked if he had
any legal reason why sentence should
not be passed upon him he said: Il
did not receive a fair trial. 1 was de-
MED my constitutional rights to de-

of ten days to consult an attorney,
which was granted.
