back in the discharge of their duty,
or suspended because of their activ-
ity, and in one particular case the
suspended officer was given to under
stand that he could come back again
when matters had quieted down, and
did return in about two weeks. This
suspension was brought about
through the arrest of a violator of the
Sunday liquor law.
"The chaotic condition of the
city's police force, from the testi-
money given, goes to prove that the
mayor stated to the chief of police
that he, the mayor, would be respon-
sible for the moral conditions of the
city during his administration. The
mayor stated before the grand jury
that the civil service law was the
cause Of the present conditions pre-
vailing in the police department.
Evidence from the civil service COM
mission denies this to be a fact The
executive board of the city of Port
land, in all of the other departments,
considered the civil service a wise
and beneficial law, and not a detri-
ment to the best interests of the city.
"One member of the police commit
tee stated that he considered his
presence on the executive board
nothing more than a cipher. Anoth-
er stated that when he attempted to
clean up graft and gambling and to
assist in bettering the conditions Of
the city, refusing to take a graft Of
$4,000 per month to allow these con-
ditlons to prevail, he was Immediate
ly given to understand that he was
not a police commissioner but only
a member Of the police committee

SUNNYBROOK
FARM is next

Klaw and Erlanger are beginning
very active fight against play pir-
acy in connection with three of their
prominent successes, "The Pink
Lady," "Ben-Hur" and "Rebecca OF
Sunnybrook Farm" which is to be
staged in Salem Saturday night,
April 9Th.
Through their attorneys, Ditten-
hoefer, Gerber and James Of New
York for the eastern country and
Mayer, Meyer, Austrian and Plat Of
Chicago for the west, they have sent
warning notices to the managers Of
theaters and producing managers all
over America charging care in the
presentation of musical pieces or
dramas which in any way resemble
these three theatrical properties.
Within six months there have been
four of the smaller repertory mana
gers who have attempted to make
productions of spurious dramatiza-
tons of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm" but in each case they have
been caught and stopped. Klaw and
Erlanger succeeded last year in OBJ
tanning an injunction in the United
States circuit court and on appeal
in the United States court of appeals,
preventing managers Of picture
houses from presenting the films
which show the race scene in Ben
Hur" and other portions of that Gel
ebrated dramatlzation of Lew Wal

The grand jury of Multnomah
county Saturday filed its report Of
which the following is an excerpt:
I'VE find by the evidence before us
that gambling, prostitution and graft
are being carried on to an alarming
extent The officials charged with
the protection of society have, either
wilfully or through negligence, to-
tally failed to carry out their duty.
I'VE find facts presented to us
that gambling is going on unmolest-
ed, and no reports of gambling by
officers in charge are being made,
those brought to our notice being
only those reported by private citi-
ems. 1t has been shown that pro-
fessiOnal gamblers are running
games openly, and those who can i'll
afford to play are often robbed so
that their families suffer from want
through losses sustained. Letters
have been received from anxious
mothers and wives, praying for re-
lief.
1--WE find further than the So
called social clubs, such as the Bea-
yer State club the Overland club and
others of like nature are being
used as subterfuge for places of
amusement for our young men, while
the are in fact nothing but grog-
shops and gambling dens where
games are running without let or
hindrance. The evidence shows that
this is well known to the police and
the authorities in charge, but all the
evidence presented to us has been
obtained through private citizens.
Testimony introduced goes to
show that the police officers are held

and not clothed with the authority to
take any action in police affairs, and
that his duties were only to o. X.
bills, receive complaints and report
back to the executive board, Of
which the mayor was chairman.
There is no doubt that there is a
great deal of graft going on, and a
great deal of money collected from
the underworld in this city, but we
have not the time nor the assistance
from the administration to prove
these facts. We find that the subsis-
tence Of some women is being paid
by the chief of police to hold these
women here as witnesses to appear
against parties now under the ban Of
the administration for alleged graft
ing The testimony of these women
is to be backed up by those now in
dicted for perjury.
"The grand jury doubts very much
the wisdom of trying to convict any
body under such testimony, 1t ap-
pearing to us like a case of the au-
thorities straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel. The grand jury
also questions the sincerity Of the
prosecution under such evidence.
"Bawdyhouses are operating all
over the city without the least in
reference, and there is no question
in the minds Of the grand jury but
what they are paying for protection.
Liquor is being sold in most all of
these places, and this must be
known to the authorities.
I'VE find the sheriff has been as
leep at the switch Of duty, and road
houses are running openly; liquor is
being sold by the drink or by the
bottle, regardless of license or per-
NIT; young girls and men are served
with liquor at the bar, and obscene
dancing is INDUCED in without in
reference from the authorities.
Some Of the grand Jurors have
visited these places and find the con-
ditions appalling, and we wish to
warn all those that they must not
expect any protection to their young
folks from the sheriffs office. If the
public knew the true conditions Of
girls ruined by reason of visiting
these places, they would rise en-
masse and demand that the persons
In charge Of our affairs turn in their
emblems Of authority. resign their
places of trust and give over the Of
flee to men worthy Of filling the po-
sitions. The invention of the auto
is proving to be a curse instead of
a blessing in these respects. The
officers sworn to do their duty have
done nothing to prevent this lawless-
ness, and during the four years of
the present incumbent in the sher-
iff's Office there has never been an
arrest made in any of these places
except on having It brought to their
attention by private citizens. Some
thing should be done by the public
to stop this destruction Of human
souls. Our ministers in the churches
have been d9rolict in their duty in
not making these facts known.
The grand jury would indict the
mayor of the city and the sheriff OF
the county, but upon advice Of the
district attorney we find that there
is no statute on our books by which
they can be held for their derellction
to duty. We therefore submit the
conditions as we find them for the
public to Judge for themselves.
