THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1907. MOB HATCHED ITS PLOT IN SALOON Only Rougher Element Took Part in Driving Japanese Out of Town. MAYOR FIRM FOR ORDER tilttle Brown Men Made no llesist anee and Promptly Left Kail road Will Not Jteturn Jap anese Section Crew. WOOnRTKX, Or.. Fob. 11. (Special.) "You Japs come In here and take place rf white man. White man here two, three years. "White man got family, you Japs cut pay. you got out riplit now. If j-ou no grt out we come two, three, four, live hundred strong, blow Jap house all to pieces, blow you, too." "Walt till bossy man come, then we jo." "No, we no wait, you Ret out before tomorrow night; you no get out we blow you up." In these terms, according to what C. T. Ogle has been able to learn regarding It, Al. fcMgcr. ex-barber and bartender at the Knterprlse saloon here, and Eugene Wright, whose name was connected with a recent Portland robbery. informed seven Japanese section hands on this di vision that their presence in town was no longer needed-. These two men, it Is said, were made spokesmen for a mob of between EO and SO which went to the Japanese bunk house last Saturday night to rid the town of the little brown men. The plot, it is said, was hatched 'in the Enterprise saloon, and from this point the mob. largely composed of rowdies, and increasing In size as It went, made Its way to the home of A. Schwabauer, ectlon boss. fall on Section Hops. They informed him of their designs, and told him to remain inside the house If he did not want to be hurt. They then went out to a lot adjoining the bunkhouse, located southwest of the de pot, and it is said tired sereval shots, after which the spokesmen went up to confer with the Japanese, while the rest of the crowd remained In a field away from the house. At first the Japanese were reluctant to go. but when told that they might be rotten-egged, stoned or blown up. they very willingly consented to leave, and went to Portland on the overland train about noon Sunday. "The mob wanted, the Japanese to pull right up and leave immediately." said Station Agont S. T. Johnson, "hut the Japanese argued the case and were final ly told that it would be all right if they went before Sunday night. The Mayor came to us and said that If they would stay, he would see that they were pro tected, if he was compelled to Jeopardize every good man in the town. Mayor Stands Firm. "I told the Japanese what the Mayor eaid, and that 1f they would stay I would see that they were not interfered with. They were afraid, however, and left. I had telegraphed Superintendent Fields about the matter and he replied that the railroad company would furnish full protection. "The mob was largely composed of Jioodlums. I do not think any section hands were among them, although there possibly was one. The sentiment of the responsible people of the town is to petition the railroad company to take the Japanese away when they seriously compete with white labor. "I do not believe the sentiment against the Japanese is any stronger here than elsewhere on the Coast, as it Is strong throughout the west. A. Schwabauer. section boss at Wood burn, handed his resignation to the com pany Saturday and went to Portland to day to learn whether or not it would be accepted. He said on his return tonight that the company would not accept his resigna- tlon, hut that no more Japanese would he fent to vvoodtmrn to work on the rail road. Xo Arrests Will Be Made. When asked if any arrests would be made, he replied. "No." Frank Usselman, the one white who has been working with .the since the whites were discharged, man gang said tonight: "Japa came to work February 4; yes terday they quit. I am the only one left here now; boss and Japs being in Portland. "It was two weeks ago Sunday that the boss showed me a letter from head quarters snying that the whites were to be discharged, and Japs sent down from Portland. Ha told me tonight that he had heard the Japs had been run out of Gervals, a small town near here; there were seven of them there, too, one white man working with them. "I dont like to work with Japs, for it Is very difficult to make them under stand what is required. They work for J!. SO a day, while the whites get l.aO. don't see how it is Japs were sent here. for we have had the premium section for two years. My boss has a gold medal for his good work." NOT IMPORTANT, THINKS AIBA Japanese Minister Will Not Report Wootlburn Incident. T. Alba, local Japanese . vice-consul. declared last night that he probably would not report the AVoodburn incident either to the Japanese Minister of Wash ington or the home office. He said that as yet he has made no investigation but that if the facts are as represented by the newspapers he should not consider the affair of much importance. "From what I have been able to learn so far. and according to the reports in the newspapers the Japanese boys were willing to leave Woodburn and they have all secured other employment. While they were threatened there was no vio lence and the white men who declared they would drive out our countrymen were drunk. All that must be taken tinder consideration. "You must understand that at the pres ent time I cannot tell what I will do as I have made no Investigation. Prac tically all I have learned came through the newspapers." JIOVSE PASSES DAIRY BILL, Measure Creates Two State Offices; Annual Cost $3000. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 11. (Sneclal.) With but six negative votes, the House this morning passed Beals' bill provid ing for the appointment by the State Food and Dairy Commissioner, of a cheese and dairy inspector and a creamery and dairy commissioner. These appointees are to receive an an nual salary of 11500, and an allowance J of $1000 per annum for traveling ex penses. The bill was favorably con sidered by the House in committee of the whole with Rodgers, of Marion, In the cair. Campbell inquired if the House was not getting away from Us policy of economic legislation by proposing the creation of two additional offices. Be sides, he considered the bill unconstitu tional, because it appeared to embrace two subjects. .But his opinion in this regard was ruled upon adversely by the Speaker. Perkins, Beals, Burns and Chase then spoke for the bill. "I recall that it was but a few days ago," said Beals, "that the gentleman from Clackamas and Multnomah offered no objection in the consideration of the general appropriation bill when an item of $8800 was appropriated for the pro tection of the game of the state. I should like to inquire if the dairy in dustry of the state is- not of sufficient importance to warrant the expenditure of $5000 per annum for its protection and betterment?" Chapin spoke for the -bill, and said it had been indorsed by the State Dairy Association. Jackson did not think that one visit annually to the different sec tions of the state, required of these officers, would prove sufficient to be of any value to this industry. Newell and Jones, of Lincoln and Polk, urged the enactment of the measure in behalf of the dairy interests of the state. A vote being taken, ' but six votes were cast against the measure. as follows: Campbell, Dye, Huntlev. Jackson, Jones of Clackamas , and Purdy. NORMAL ISSUE IS DODGED COMMITTEE SENDS APPROPRIA TION BILLS TO HOUSE. Provides for Drain, Weston and Ashland Recommends $100,00 0 for the Seattle Exposition. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) Among the appropriation bills favorably reported to the House this morning by the com mittee on ways - and means were those appropriating $100,000 fcr an Oregon ex hibit at the Ala-ska-Yukon-Pacific Expo sition at Seattle: for the maintenance and support of normal schools as follows: Drain. $27,000; Weston. J.-o.wO. and Ash land $40,000, and $ir,o.000 for additional buildings at the State Agricultural Col lege at Corv-allis. Members of the com mittee, in the absence of any specific Instructions from the two houses as to what appropriations should be made for the support of the normal schools of the state, concluded favorably to report all of the bills carrying appropriations for these institutions back to the legisla ture and let the subject be disposed of in the two houses on the merits of the claims of these schools and in accord ance with such legislation bearing on the subject as may he enacted. Considerable opposition developed in the House this morning to the bill by Representative Edwards, which proposes to transfer all moneys received from the United States from forest reserves to the school funds of the different couiTtes, and providing that the per capita tax for school purposes be raised from $6 to $S. After several attempts had been made to get the bill shelved, it was finally re ferred back to the committee on judiciary for amendment. Edwards made a strong plea for the passage of the bill in the interest of increased advantages to many districts in the state that are now un able to hold more than three months' terms of school annually. Barrett of Washington opposed the bill because It would increase by $12,000 annually the taxes in his county. Dobbin actively at tacked the measure for the reason that It would divert from the treasury or Wallowa County about per annum that is now received from the Govern ment for grazing privileges within the forest reserve in that county. Campbell raised the question of the constitutionality of the bill, since the title embraced more than two subjects that were not germane. A motion to have the till rereferred to the committee on re vision of laws was unsuccessful, as was also the motion of Indefinite postpone ment by McCallon. After Jackson had argued In support of the bill, a motion to refer the measure to the Judiciary committee for such changes as may he considered necessary to make -its consti tutionality unquestioned, prevailed. The joint committee appointed to inves tigate the Patton Baby Home at Portland today submitted a report complimentary to that institution and the work it is do ing. The report includes a recommenda tion for an adequate appropriation by the state, that needed Improvements may be made at the Home and for its further maintenance. Representative Newell's bill to prohibit public officers from conniving at and In any way allowing violation of the criminal statutes of the state or criminal ordi nances of a municipality was favorably ieported by the committee on revision of laws in the House today. The purpose of the bill is declared to be to prevent ob struction of justice, and heavy penalties are prescribed for all violation. Representative Barrett of Umatilla dis. played his scrapping proclivities in the House this morning when he secured the reference again of two of his bllli that had been adversely reported from the committee to which they had been re ferred. One of the measures provided more stringent measures for the extirpa tion of Russian and Canadian thistles and the other related to stock running at large in Eastern Oregon counties. The House committee on claims this morning reported Speaker Davey's bill, appropriating $100,000 for the reimburse ment of Indian War Veterans for the use of their horses during the Indian wars of 1S55-6, recommending that the amount of the appropriation authorized therein be reduced to $50,000. The report of the committee was adopted. Committee on medicine and pharmacy in the House today favorably reported Senator Smith's bill for establishing and enforcing quarantine regulations In this state. Favorable report has been made by the House committee on penal, reformatory and charitable institutions on the bill of Senator Kay providing for a revised sys tem of credits to be used in reducing the terms of convicts in the State Peniten tiary as a reward for good conduct. House bill 324. Connell, proposing im portant revision of the state land laws, was today made a special order for 2 o'clock next Thursday afternoon. Routine of the House. SALEM. Or.. Feb. It.

PUZZLE TO SOW Banking Law Causes Law makers Much Tribulation. CONFLICT IN ARGUMENTS State Regulation Is Opposed by Vltra-Conservatives as Well as by Irresponsible Bankers Legis lators Are Seeking Light. SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) whether the state banking law shall be a near approach to the National Banking act or a much more lenient measure, is the issue now being discussed by those members of the Legislature and of the banking fraternity who are taking an interest in Haines' Senate bill 10S. The bill was drawn by a committee of bank ers who believed in the enactment of a law lenient in Its provisions, and then amending the law from time to time as experience disclosed a need for it. Though not very 3trlct in its requirements, the bill met the opposition of some who asserted that it was too exacting in its terms, and who, in reality, oppose any state banking law. On the other hand it met many criticisms from those who thought it too loose in its provisions, and who would make it conform more nearly to the Federal law. There are some private bankers who oppose a banking law of any kind. Among them is A. Bush, who conducts an institution recognized as one of the solidest banks on the Coast. He has always run his business in a conserva tive manner, and without any interfer ence from the outside. He wouldn't like to have any young bank examiner coming around to look over his, books and tell him how he should run his business. There are also some proprietors of banks who have been doing business upon prin ciples far removed from safe banking. They do not want the banking act. Want a Mild Measure. Proprietors of private banks generally are willing that the law should be enacted but they do not want it very stringent. Bankers who are doing business under the National act. or who have become accustomed to viewing the banking busi ness from the standpoint of the National act. want the state law to include many precautionary provisions that the private bankers do not consider necessary. Senator A. J. Johnson, who served for some nine years as National Bank Ex aminer, wants the state bank examiner to be vested with power to close a hank whenever, in his opinion the conditions warrant such action. The bill proposed by the. committee of bankers provides for closing a bank only upon authority from the Board of Banking Commissioners, thus guarding against hasty and ill advised action. The Senate Committee on Banking has acquiesced in the sugges tions made by members of the execu tive committee of the State Bankers' As sociation, with a view to making the bill more stringent in several particulars. The bill as introduced limited loans to one person to 25 per cent of the capital stock with an exception in case of loans on real estate or collateral security of value equal to the loan. The com mittee has agreed to amend the bill so as to make the 25 per cent limit applic able to real estate loans also. The Haines bill.as Introduced, required each bank to keep on hand cash or balances due from other banks or cheeks on other banks, a reserve equal to 15 per cent of demand deposits and 30 per cent of time deposits. In Portland the reserve must be 25. per cent of demand and 10 per cent of time deposits. Will Amend the Bill. In response to the request of men who desire a more stringent law. the com mittee on banking has decided to amend the bill so as to require that at least one-third of the reserve must be cash in the vaults. This amendment is op posed by some of the Portland banks and by some of the banks in the Interior. Some of the small Portland banks claim that this 5 per cent cash reserve is more than is necessary. The interior banks say that it would not be safe for them to carry so much cash in their vaults, as the money would be a constant temptation to robbers. This requirement will, however.' be insisted upon by the banking committee. Opposition has been -tnade to the pro vision of the bill which limits the owner ship of real estate to the home of the bank and to a value equal to 25 per cent of the capital. Some banks already own homes that exceed this limit and want the limit raised or removed en tirely. It, has been asserted that those who want the bill made most stringent are really opposed to a state banking act and' hdpe to get it so severe in its terms that it cannot pass the Legislature. While Senator Haines concedes that his bill is lenient, he believes it is the best plan to make the law lenient at first and strengthen it In the future, thus per mitting the banks to accommodate them selves to the regulations. GOVETIXOR CONSIDERS VETO Juvenile Court Bill Now Facing the Last Hurdle. SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. An expense of $10,920 a year will be put on Multnomah County for Juvenile Court officers should Governor Chamberlain not veto the bill of Senator Beach, relating to that sub ject. Governor Chamberlain is now rumi nating over the bill, and sounds from his office Indicate that he is weighing a veto. Further expense ensuing from passage of the bill would be between JfiOOO and JS00O for building a detention home at Montavilla and probably $500 a month for maintenance, making perhaps J23.0C0 new expense to Multnomah County the first year. The new salary expense would be as follows: Per month Judge of the court 50 Chief probation officer 150 Three deputioH, each $100 8flD Superintendent Detention Home 125 Stenographer S5 Matron r.o Kmergrenoy expenses.....' 50 Deputy District Attorney 100 Total w $010 COFFEY SECOND CZAK REED Gives Campbell of Clackamas a ' Taste of Authority From Chair. SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) Campbell of Clackamas exploded at Coffey of Multnomah tonight in the House committee of the whole, when the latter was presiding. Campbell grew red in the face and then white, cried out loudly for his constitutional rights and Coffey whacked his pavel. Coffey was hurrying the committee through the reading- of a tax bill and pushed past a section containing the 3 per cent rebate for early payment of taxes, declaring it adopted and not noticing that Campbell wanted to make an argument for its elimination. The Clackamas lawmaker slammed Jdown. Ilia bill file, shouting: "Mr. Chalr- man, you are the servant of this House and not its dictator. I will not allow you to put this down me in such fash ion. I demand my constitutional right to be heard." Coffey surveyed him calmly from the pulpit, then said: "The gentleman shall see that not I, but the House, is put ting this down him. It is moved and seconded that we reconsider the pre ceding section. Those in favor will Bay aye." Almost a dead silence fol lowed. "Those opposed will say no." A big "No" echoed through the chamber. "Does the gentleman understand that the House Is putting it down htm?" asked Coffey, whereupon Camp bell reiterated his constitutional rirrht and business went on as before. New Bills in the Senate. SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) Bills were Introduced in the Senate today as follows: 8. B. 211.

BLOW AT Tin BARDf.S HOUSE PASSES BILL TO TAX THEIR HOLDINGS. Requires Them to Make Truthful Return to Assessor Heavy Pen alties for Failure to Comply. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) An unsuccessful attempt was made in the House tonight to defeat Representative Beals' bill for the assessment of tim ber lands in proportion to the amount of timber each subdivision contains. The measure requires every person, managing agent or officer of any cor poration or association owning timber lends within the state liable to be as sessed, to furnish the Assessor of '. e county with a list of such property, accompanied . by a verified statement of a schedule showing the kind and character of timber standing- on said land, and probable amount of such tim ber, as a basis for making an equitable assessment of the property. Failure to furnish the Assessor with the information called for, under the provisions of the hill, is made punish able by a fine of from $25 to $.")0. The bill finally passed with only five neg ative votes, those so voting no being Brix, Farrell, McCue, Purdy, Wash burne. 'Beals explained that the purpose of the bill is to enable Assessors to make an equitable assessment of this prop erty, and that In Its operation no pos sible hardship can result to individual timber-owners. McCue took issue with the author of the bill and contended that the measure will work a hardship on the small timber-owner and invite perlury in state ments that are required of owners of this property. He held that It shou'J be incumbent on Asseeso-s to deter-, 'mine the value of timber lands, as well as other lands he is called upon to as sess. Farrell agreed with McCuo and moved an Indefinite postponement that was defeated by a decisive vote. Freeman denied thnt any Inconvenfence could result to individuals in complying with the provisions of the measure, since much of the timber land of the state is already cruised. He said much of this land has been escaping Its proper shan of taxation and should be made to con tribute its share to the revenues of the county in which it is located. Chase recognized merit in the bill. but Prix, who owns timber land, wanted the assessment of such land left with the Assessor. Washhurne said he could not ex- support the bill because it did not empt counties that had gone to the ex pense of cruising their timber lands, as Lane County has done. He feared thnt the measure might Impose an unnecessary burden on owners of such lands in his own county. Newell heartily indorsed the bill. A vote was then taken, resulting in 52 ayes. 5 noes and 3 absent. SENATORS WAXT MORE PAY Adopt Knowles Resolution to Raise Per D-iem of Legislators. SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The Senate today adopted Knowles' resolu tion submitting to a vote of the people a constitutional amendment raising the compensation of members of the Legisla ture from $120 a session to JiOO a ses sion, or from $3 to $10 a day. Senator Kay advocated amendment reducing the pay to $7.50 a day, but this was rejected. Senator Johnson arfrued that the compen sation should be left at $3 or raised to $10 a day. He had nevfr heard any farmer or business man advocate paying the legislators less than- $10 a day. Sen ator Bailey said that he has always felt that his own services and those of Sena tor Kay were worth only $7.&0 a day, but since there are some members who think their services worth more than $7.60, he would favor the $10 provision. Senator Bingham deplored the intro duction of this "salary grab" and op posed it. He said the legislature had been elected to do something for the peo ple, but thus far they have done noth ing but- pass appropriations. "We ought to get down to business and quit wasting time trying to raise our own salaries." exclaimed Bingham. "If we don't do better than we have so far the people won't be willing to pay us more than 30 cents." Senator Nottingham tried to have the resolution killed by postponement, but the motion was defeated by a vote of 15 to U. After several motions were made to defeat the resolution, and all had been defeated, the question was presented up on the adoption of the resolution, with the fololwing result: Ayes Bailey. Beach. Caldwell. Cole. Coshow, Hodson. Johnson. Iaughary, Ma larkey. McDonald, Mullt. Scholfleld, Slchel, Smith of Umatilla, Whealdon 13. Xofts Bingham. Booth. Bowerman, Coke, Hart, Hedges, Kay, Laycock. Miller of Linn. Miller of Linn-Marlon, Nottingham. Smith of Marlon, Wright, President Haines 14. The amendment will be voted on by the people in June. 1908. Bill to Tax Does Defeated. SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The dog family has a sufficient number of friends in the House to exempt it from the Tax Collector, for the present at any rate. When Representative Upmeyer's "by request" bill, proposing to tax ca nines at from $2 to $5 a head, according to sex, came up in the House this morn ing. Coffey proposed that the further con sideration of the bill be Indefinitely post poned. "It is moved and seconded," an nounced Speaker Davey. "that this dog goned bill be Indefinitely postponed." A vote on the motion being taken, the bill was almost unanimously disposed of. There ought to be a tea and coffee class lor giz in. every sUiooLSf hilling a Best. FRUIT MUST BEAR E OF GROWER Perkins Bill Requires That Name and Address Go on -All Packages. GETS CREDIT FOR QUALITY Measure Is Intended to Promote Bet. ter Methods in Marketing Fruit. Heavy Penalty Provided for Violations of the Law. SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. The passage of Representative Perkins' bill, requiring the marking of boxes of green fruits bo as to show the name and address of the grower and the name and address of the packer, will probably do more to pro mote good methods in fruitgrowing than anything else that has occurred in Or egon up to the present time. This law, which will go into effect three months from the close of this session of the Legislature, will compel every grower and packer to bear whatever criticism may be due him for the shipment of in ferior fruit, and will insure to every grower and packer due credit for the shipment of fruit of superior quality. During the first season, while growern and packers are becoming accustomed to the law and preparing to observe it. there will be some Inconvenience and expense, but the advantages will far more than repay the loss In this respect. Growers or packers will find it necessary to pro vide themselves with rubber stamps with which to print upon the boxes the names of growers and packers. While these names and addresses could be written on the boxes with a crayon, this method would be slow and would impair the ap pearance of the box. How the Law Will Work. In practice thn law will probably work out something like this: Box factories will provide themselves with machines lor printing the names of packers upon the emit? of boxes, so that the boxes will be marked with the names and addresses of packers before they are made up. Then the packers will secure rubber stamps bearing the names and addresses of their principal patrons, so that when a lot of fruit Is packed the boxes can be quickly marked, "Grown by L. T. Reynolds. Snlem. Or.," or any other name, as the case may be. Growere who pack their own fruit for shipment will find It necessary to buy their boxes already marked or provide themselves with sten cils or rubber stamps for the purpose. For a year or two manufacturers of stencils and stamps nhould do a good business among growers and packers, but as supplies of this kind last a number of years, the rufh of business in this line will be only temporary'- As this law will be of interest to every fruitgrower and packer In Oregon, the text of the law is here given In full: Text oT the Law. Section 1. Any person, firm, assooctation er corporation engaged In growing. Belling or packing green fruits of any kind Tvlthln the State of Oregon, shall be required, upon packing any such fruit for market, whether Intended for fale within or without the Slate of OreKon. to stamp, mark or label plainly on the outside of every box or pack age of green fruit so packed the name and pontoffire address of the person, firm, asso ciation, or corporation packing the same. Provided, further, that when the grower of such fruit be other than the paeker of the same, the name and postoffice address of such grower shall also prominently appear upon such box or package a-s the grower of such fruit. Pec. 2. It, shall be unlawful for any dealer, commission merchant, shipper oi vendor, by means of any false representa tions whatever, either verbal, printed or written, to represent or pretend that any fruits rr.entionel In section 1 of this act were raised or produced or packed by any person or corporation, or In any locality.

Tha nostrils are stopped up and a constant dropping of mucous back into the throat keeps up a continual hawking and spitting. The patient has dull headaches, ringing noises in the ears, and often slight fever and a depressed, half-sick feeling accompanies the disease. The blood becomes so fully charged with catarrhal matter that stomach troubles are brought on, the kidneys and bladder are afiected, and if the blood is not purified of the poison the lungs become diseased because of the constant passage of impure blood through them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such treatment ; these cannot reach the poison-laden blood where the real cause is located, and can only give temporary relief PURELY VEGETABLE the bottom of the trouble, rids the blood of the catarrhal matter, reinvigorates the cir culation, and cures this disgusting disease permanently.

Again, I know that many men suffer FOR YEARS and prac tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR EVER trying to dose themselves with some patent nostrum that never could cure. And further, it is evident that many men will run to what thev call "cheap" treatment. NO TREATMENT AT ALL is what "cheap" treatment means in nine cases out of ten. The last state of the man is worse than the first. Just before you go a line further in this announcement, stop and ask yourself as to whether YOU are following in the foolish footsteps of the man who NEGLECTS himself t Are YOU trying to cure yourself with nostrums?
