12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1906. SAFE AND SANE FOURTH OF JULY Only Minor Accidents Are Traceable to Use of the Firecrackers. NO DISASTROUS FIRES How Independence Day This Year Compares in Weather, Accidents, Crimes and Fires With Pre vious National Holidays. Our revolutionary ancestors, or our an cestors who were less strenuous vin cele brating the great and glorious Fourth, probably rested more quietly In their graves yesterday than on any preceding day of the same nature for years. Instead of the deafening roar, the deaths, the accidents, and the hundred and one things which have, gone to give parents fright prostrations, pedestrians sore eardrums, the guardians of the peace a hardworking day and the Fire Department continuous labor, the 130th anniversary of the Nation pawed as quietly us a Sunday picnic In Portland. The small number of accidents, none of which necessitated more dressing than a rag around a burned finger or a kiss by a mother on the hand of a. youngster to quiet his alarm at being scorched by a firecracker, was due principally to the ban that was placed on the sale of giant crackers and cannon by the Chief of Po lice. The sale of fireworks in no way di minished from that of last July 4, but the sales were confined mostly to the small Chinese firecrackers and Roman candles. Portland's Sane Fourth. The "sane Fourth" which has been prayed for by many and scorned by "Young America" can be said to have struck Portland in a heap. From early morning until midnight there was inter mittent firecracker reports, but It wae not the continuous roar and the earnsplitting reports that usually take place on the Na tional holiday. During the day there were few people on the streets, and hundreds left the city to spend the day t pleasure resorts or in the country. In the evening, however, crowds which resembled those of the Sat urday night throng appeared. All the tuck seemed to have been taken out of them during the day, though, as celebra tions did not appear to be on the pro gramme, and the pedestrians were out more for show than patriotic duty. Just Two Fires. Contrary to expectation, there were only two fires yesterday, neither of which dam aged valuable property. The first was in a small livery stable at Fourth and Burn side streets. It was extinguished imme diately. An awning at Fifth and Morri son streets caught fire from a burning firecracker. The blaze was put out before it burned more than a small hole in the canvas. The number of arrests for violation of the ordinances regulating the shooting of firearms and cannon totaled seven. None of those arrested was held. One death and one accident occurred yesterday, not due, however, to July 4. Gordon Allen Drowned. Gordon Allen, 19 years old, employed by the Pacific Press Publishing Company, was drowned at 11 o'clock yesterday morning in the Willamette River off Ross Island. Young Allen was in a large crowd of picknickers who went out to Ross Island for the Fourth, and several of the boys went in bathing in the early forenoon. Allen was considered a good swimmer and when he was seen to disappear no one paid any attention, thinking that he was diving. The party of bathers re mained in the water for some time. When they came to shore they could not find young Allen. A thorough searoh was instituted for the missing boy, but no trace of him could be discovered Several of the swimmers dived for Allen's body but could not locate it. At that time Clarence H. Jones was passing the island in his rpwboat. Hearing of the accident he recovered the body. Dr. M. C. AlacLafferty, who was a member of the party, worked over the drowned boy for nearly two hours trying to re store him to life, but to no avaiL Young Allen boarded at 506 East Everett street with F. A. Coffin, who has com municated with the young man's parents, who 1W6 near San Jose, Cal Coroner Finley investigated the incident and had the body removed to his under taking establishment to await the decision, of the parents off the young man. Ernest Schmeer was struck by a street car on East Burnside street yesterday and was severely injured. He turned in the direction of the approaching car. Few Rainy Fourths. It has often been said in Portland that the Fourth of July always means rain, but a review of the Fourths of the last ten years does not bear out this state ment. Since 1897 there have been five years In which it has been fair and a like number in which it has clouded and rained, but a very few in which it has been so disagreeable as entirely to mar the celebration. Another significant fact which compara tive statistics bring out is that every year the Chiefs of Police have declared their intention of exacting a safe and sane Fourth, but the theories of evolution have gone on without change, people have been injured, fires have been caused and fire crackers have been exploded. This is the first time in many years that Portland has not celebrated the Nation's natal day by a grand parade and pyro technic display. Normal Temperature for Bay. The extreme temperature yesterday, 84 degrees, a drop from 101 degrees on Tues day, was nearly normal for July 4, al though somewhat in excess of the average temperature for Independence Day. On July 4, 190o, the maximum tempera ture was SI degrees, and for several pre vious days there was a warm spell. A Chicago paper reported a total of 2500 ac cidents on July 4, 1905, and 42 fatalities, which was said to be a decrease as com pared wun recent previous years. In Port land there were no fatalities on July 4, 1905. There were 14 fires and eight acci dents. The total fire loss was $5000. The celebration was held at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and Liberati's band played the National airs and other mu sical numbers. ,'ine Fires, Eight Accidents, On July 4. 1904. there were nine fires in Portland and eight accidents. The fire loss was $2000. There was a parade, a car nival and literary exercises at the Plaza block. The maximum temperature was SO degrees and the weather was clear. Mayor Williams, Commander Cottman, of the Wyoming. Colonel Jackson, Rev. William A. Daly and W. H. Rasmus took part in the exercises. On July 4, 1903. the weather was cool, and It rained some. There were few fires or accidents In Portland. A man was killed and a boy maimed for life as the result of a cannon accident at the Gov- Weil-Known Character Found Dead Yesterday Shakespeare has described how the im mortal Roman Emperor perished, but no body seems to know what caused the death of Julius Caesar, the colored mas cot of the Multnomah Club, who was found early yesterday afternoon stretched out, stark and stiff, on a pile of lumber under the Alder-street dock. Whether it was from the effects of the extreme heat or the Multnomah Club's "low Jinks" last Sunday, or a combina tion, that laid the local Julius Caesar low may never be known; but, in any event, when Expressman Sybert Iverson drove to the dock with some freight for the Regulator steamship line he found the old darkey, who has been a familiar fig ure around town for more than a score of years, in the cold embrace of death. Coroner Finley was quickly notified and took charge of the remains. He will be buried next Saturday from Finley's un dertaking parlors, members of the Mult nomah Club, local baseball fans and oth ers Interested In the old man's career hav ing contributed an amount sufficient to insure decent burial. The earlier history of Caesar is shroud ed somewhat in mystery, although it is common report that he came to Oregon about half a century ago with the Taylor family, of Corvallls, and had been born a slave in Virginia at a. period variously estimated from 75 to SO years ago. He assumed the name of the family that brought him here, and until he came to Portland was called George Taylor. How he achieved the cognomen of Julius Cae sar is also imbedded in doubt, but it is a fact that few knew him by any other title, although he had been a familiar fig ure on the streets of this city since many of its citizens were in swaddling clothes. Some say the name attached to him by virtue of a propensity to quote Shakes peare upon every possible occasion, and others that he got it on account of being such a constant hanger-on of theaters. Anyhow, it has stuck to him ever since, and, it Is presumed, will ornament the headboard over his grave. Rumor has it that he was a slave up to the breaking out of the Civil War, when he became -a fugitive nd was taken in by the Taylor family. At one time, it is said, he trained racehorses hereabouts, and also achieved quite a reputation as a Jockey, but In more recent years he seemed to have solved successfully the problem of living without work. Free access to the ball games and other places of amusement were considered his by right of tolerance, and, like Falstaff, he was a firm believer in the doctrine that "base be the slave that pays." In all respects he was looked upon as a privi leged character, and one of his favorite forms of amusement consisted In array ing himself In some garb appropriate to a ( public occasion. For instance, on St. Patrick's day he would come out attired in a complete suit of green, with a tall plug hat of the same hue, while nothing but clothes made from the National col ors appealed to him on the Fourth of July. Like his illustrious namesake, "Julius Caesar" was endowed with a consuming ambition, only it coursed in different channels. Instead of aspiring to become the world's greatest monarch, the local Julius Caesar contented himself with an overpowering desire to drink up all the gin that the stills of Chinatown were capable of manufacturing. He was near ly always under the influence of liquor, In consequence, and later In the after noon preceding the finding of his body staggered along Front street in an up roarious condition. Caesar had a great habit of wandering about the town shouting in his deep bass voice, "Play ball!" and many women have been almost frightened into hys terics by his sudden approach, accompa nied by this weird style of greeting. He ernment quarantine station, opposite As toria. The Portland and Seattle teams played baseball in the rain, there was a sham battle and a Catholic picnic at Uni versity Park. On July 4, 1902, the average temper ature was about 70 degrees. And it was cool in the evening. There was a parade and at night fireworks on Ter race Heights. There were few fires or injuries. Dashes of rain fell in the day time and the literary exercises were held at the Marquam Theatre. The Oregonian of July 4 contained the news of the ending of the Phillipine war and (that Haa-ry Tracy, the outlaw bad killed two officers near Seattle and wounded another fatally. The temper ature was mild and there was a cool breeze blowing. CHINESE DEPORTATIONS. Three Willing to Go and Two Appeal From Decision of Commissioner. There were all kinds of "chin music" in the Federal Courtroom Tuesday morning. A crowd of Chinese was be fore Judge Wolverton upon appeal from orders of deportation that had been pre viously entered by United States Com missioner Sladen, and Roger Sinnott, their attorney, undertook to explain cer tain features to the Court. "If your Honor please," said Mr. Sin nott, addressing Judge Wolverton, "we have here the cases of Chin Jew, Chin Kay Him, Chin Wah, Chin Suey and Chin Sing, who have been charged by Immigration Inspector John H. Barbour with violation of a Federal statute by being Illegally in this country. Three of my clients will not resist deporta tion, while the other two propose to make an issue of the case, and I ask that your Honor set Thursday morning for their trial." "Very well," responded Judge Wolver ton. "An order will be made accord ingly, and I will suggest, Mr. Sinnott, that you please indicate the ones to whom the deportation order shall apply, and which ones intend to resist the Com missioner's ruling." The lawyer looked puzzled for a sec ond before replying, and then said, "I think Chin Jew, Chin Wah and Chin Kay Him are willing to return to China with out further resistance, but I am not sure which is which. They are here in Court, and look so much alike that I will have to investigate a little." Sinnott, an interpreter, and all the Mongols held an animated conference in the rear of the courtroom, after which the attorney announced that Chin Jew, Chin Kay Him and Chin Suey were the ones to which the order of deportation should apply, while Chin Wah and Chin Sing would resist the efforts of the Im migration Bureau to send them out of the country. Judge Wolverton made an order accordingly, and set 10 o'clock this morning as the time for taking testi mony in the cases that are to be tried. Handsome Profit in Realty. H. J. Hefty, owner of a three-story brick building at Front and Alder, has sold the property to Otto Schumann. The consideration was $35,000. Six months ago Mr. Hefty bought the building from H. Wemme for $22,000. The property has a frontage on Alder street of 100 feet and 25 feet on Front street. The building is under lease to the Star Brewing Company, of Vancouver. POTTER SAILING DATES.

Jl'LirS seemed to be a monomaniac on the sub ject of baseball, and hardly a game was played on the local diamond without his peculiarities being very much in evidence. He was a general favorite with all, in spite of his well-known propensities, and yesterday when it became known that the old man had succumbed, Jerry Pow ers and Jack King started in to take up a collection to give him proper inter ment. In two hours they secured $57, while the Multnomah Club boys also con tributed $15, and expect to raise at least $40 altogether. Powers and King will can vass the wholesale district today, and It is believed an amount will be subscribed amply sufficient to inter the old man with becoming honors. In some of his maudlin moments Caesar would declare that he had. been married MOST ROMANTIC WEDDING BRIDE CROSSES ATLANTIC AND THE CONTINENT. Miss Ivy Richardson, of England, Married to J. E. Wilton, of New Zealand. A beautiful and romantic Fourth of July wedding took place last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Graves, 121 East Twelfth street, the bride having come all the way from merry England to wed the man of her heart's choice, and the marriage was the culmination of a romance which had its beginning across the Atlantic. The bride is the beautiful and accomplished Miss Ivy Pepita Cerda Richardson, formerly of Barcelona, Spain, and Barnard Castle, and more recently of Yorkshire, England, where she had been a pupil of Senor Barri. J. E. Wilton, the bridegroom. Is from New Zealand, son of the late William Wilton, the oldest resi dent of New Zealand. He was formerly part proprietor and manager of the Adelaide Critic, of South Australia. Mr. Wilton has been a great traveler, having gone around the world twice, and having visited Victoria, Western Australia, South Africa, Egypt. Italy, Ceylon, France and Belgium. While in England he met and won Miss Richardson, then a pupil of Senor Barri. As soon as Mr. Wilton decided to make Portland his home, hav ing been Influenced to this decision by Dr. J. L. Graves, of South Dakota, a brother of O. G. Graves, of Portland, he sent for his intended bride, who left England and came by way of Canada, arriving in Portland Friday. Both being strangers, Mr. and Mrs. Graves gladly offered their beautiful home for the wedding, and had the rooms decorated for the event. The ceremony was performed last night at 9 o'clock, the Rev. J. E. Simpson officiating with the ceremony of the Episcopal church, and using the ring service. Miss Grace Wilton played the wedding march as the principals and invited guests took their places before the' clergyman. Miss Eva L. Graves and Miss Ethel Wentworth supported the bride, and very quickly the solemn marriage ceremony of the Episco pal church was completed. This was fol lowed by the Introduction and congratu lations of the guests present, so that the bride and groom were made to feel that their new home would be among friends. Light refreshments were served. Mrs. Wilton Is an accomplished singer, also speaks four languages and Is a niece of Charlas Cornell, one of the commandants of the United States Navy. They will make their home in Portland. Recent Sales of Realty. The sale is announced of the quarter-block at the northwest corner of Fifth and Everett streets to George W. Klelser, of che firm of Foster & Kleiser, the consideration being $25, 000. Mrs. Anna Campion was the sell er. Several small dwellings of little value are en the property, consequent ly the price Is considered equivalent to ground value. It is believed the bill-posting firm, of which Mr. Kleiser is a member, will shortly erect a sub stantial brick structure on the prem ises to accommodate its business. Sale of a corner lot at Ninth and Couch streets has also been reported, the price being $14,000. A two-story building, occupied by the Portland Laundry Company, is on a portion of the ground. This will probably be renovated and enlarged in the near future. The property was purchased from the Weinhard estate. CAESAR. at one stage of his career, but was now divorced, and that he had a daughter at tached to a Vancouver convent in some way, but this report lacks verification. It is said also that he had trained with racehorses on nearly all the important tracks of the country, and was especially familiar with San JTraneisco and sur rounding territory. Last Winter the old darkey seemed to have reached the end of his rope financially, and an effort was made to send him to the Ppor Farm, but he Interposed such strenuous oDjections that the attempt was abandoned. His most telling argument In this connection existed in the contention that he would lose rank with such political leaders a Frank Baker, Judge Williams, "Jack' Matthews, Mayor Lane, Senator Fulton and others.

WELL POSTED A California Doctor With 40 Years' Ex perience. vln my 40 years' experience as a teacher and practitioner along hygienic lines. says a Los Angeles physician, "I have never found a food to compare with Grape-Nuts for the benefit of the general health of all classes of people. I have recommended Grape-Nuts for a number of years to patients with the greatest success, and every year's experience makes me more enthusiastic regarding its use. "I make it a rule to always recommend Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee, when giving my patients Instructions as to diet, for I know both Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digested by any one. "As for myself, when engaged in much mental work, my diet twice a day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich cream. I find it just the thing to build up gray matter and keep the brain in good working order. "In addition to its wonderful effects as a brain and nerve food. Grape Nuts al ways keeps the digestive organs in per fect, healthy tone.

REFUSE TO WORK VESSELS Lumber Manufacturers Likely to Re lieve Situation by Securing Crews of White Sailors for Vessels. Vessels manned by Orientals will find It exceedingly difficult to discharge and load cargoes in this port in the future. for the mill hands have armiated witn the Longshoremen's Union in the matter of blacklisting vessels that have sup planted the striking white sailors with Japanese or Chinese. The matter has been thoroughly threshed out among the longshoremen and mill hands, and they have conveyed their ultimatum to the mlllowners, and It seems practically assured that the Japs will be dispensed with on the coastwise vessels at least. The mlllowners recog nize the urgent need of this means of transporting the lumber product, and in formed the delegates of the two labor organizations that their wishes in the matter would be granted. This means that the steam schooners Johan Poulsen, Despatch, Northland and others calling here regularly for lumber will have other than Japanese crews on their next visit. As a result of this embargo on Japs, the steam schooner Aurelia lies at the Fort land Lumber Mill with only a small por tion of her cargo aboard, and It may be that she will have to proceed to San Francisco without completing her cargo. She is manned by a Japanese crew, and is therefore tabooed by longshoremen and mill hands. The Northland, which sailed Tuesday, left without completing her cargo, al though she managed to get most of the lumber aboard before the mill hands Joined with the other organization. Secretary P. D. Hall, of the Longshore men's Union, will visit each incoming coastwise vessel, and wherever Japanese are found the boat will not be worked by the local union, and by this means they hope to discourage the employment of the Orientals in the place of white sailors.

Lctnria at 1 1 -1 A A ir .... left out to sea shortly after noon. The big liners usually consume from eight to ten hours in the voyage down river, but the Arabia made it in much less than this, and was out to sea In the same length of time it would have taken other vessels of her size to get to Astoria. The Arabia's outward cargo, consisting principally of flour and lumber, is valued at $141,728. ROANOKE LEAVES TONIGHT. Has Full Passenger List and AH the Freight She Can Carry. Loaded to her capacity with freight and with a full list of passengers the steamer Roanoke is scheduled to leave for San Francisco this evening. The exact hour of sailing is indefinite owing to the large amount of freight to be stowed away on the vessel, but it is practically certain that she will get away before 10 o'clock. The Roanoke Is the only passenger ves sel on the San Francisco run at present and all her berths were spoken for days before her arrival, and her owners are looking for another vessel to co-operate with her. Conclude Inquiry Into Collision. The testimony In the Inquiry into the causes leading up to the collision off the mouth of the Columbia between the schooner Jane L. Stanford and the steam er J. B. Stetson was completed before In spectors Edwards and Fuller yesterday, and they will render a decision in a few days. Marine Notes. The schooner Alvena shifted from Van couver yesterday to the mills at Linnton where she will complete her cargo of lumber. The schooner Virginia expects to com plete her cargo of lumber at the Inman, Poulsen mill and will leave for San Fran cisco about the latter part of the week. The new steamer Multnomah will short ly be placed on the passenger run be tween here and the Willamette Slough. She is owned by Captain Goode and will be operated with the steamer America. The British ship Procyon, which is un der charter to load grain for Balfour, Guthrie & Co., will be loaded Jointly by that company and Kerr, Gifford & Co. on account of the difficulty of securing grain. The new steamer Kitsap, which was launched last Saturday will probably be given her trial run next Tuesday.

His sufferings were untold and constant misery, m fact, there waa nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. The family doctor seemed to be wholly incapable of coping with the case, and after various experiment of his, which resulted in no benefit to the child, we sent to Mason, 111., to a druggist and got a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and applied as per directions, and he began to improve immediately, and in about three or four days began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered, with the exception of a rough skin, which is gradually disappearing, and eventually will be replaced by a healthy one. "Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they cer tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.
