THE 3I0KXIXG . OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, -JANUARY 20, 1908. E TONGS ARE Quiet at Present, but Trouble May Break Out Any Moment. NEW YEAR MAY SEE END Peace Negotiations of Committee of Six Companies Broken Ofr by the Death of u I'ong, Prominent Member of One of Factions. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 19. (Special.) Though no further outbreaks have oc curred since the shooting three nights ago, the highbinders engaged in the present tong war have by no means set tled their differences, and a clash is ex pected at any moment. The committee of the Six Companies, which endeavored to make .the warring tongs come to a peaceable understanding, has dissolved, and at the best, the police expect the war to continue until Feb ruary 2, the Chinese New Year. The war as it now stands is between tile Hop Sings and Hip Sings on one side, against the Bing Kungs, See Yups and Sam Yups on the other. The Hip Sing Tong Is an organization closely allied to the Hop Sing Tong, and entrance into the fray was not at all unexpected. Up to the present the honors are with the Hop Sings, who have six deaths to their credit. These include IVu Kong, a Chinese interpreter, and an important member of the Bing Kung Tong, who was considered equal to at least- three or dinary Hop Sing men. It was owing to this death that the peace negotiations proved a failure. The Hop Sings were quite willing to settle with the Bing Kungs on the basis of Wu Kong being equal to one man, but the Bing Kungs refused to accept the valuation. Every available policeman is patrolling Chinatown in the hope that if Individual murder cajanot be prevented the presence of the poliK? force will, at least, make im possible a pitched battle. TELEPHONE ONCE MORE Wallace Resumes Sunday Service as Protection From Fire. WAL.UA.OE. Idaho. Jan. 19. (Special.) For first time in many' weeks Wallace itad telephone service today. Ever since the Supreme Court decided that the Sun day rest law of Idaho was constitutional, local authorities have enforced, the law with an iron hand. Whether resumption of telephone business toddy Is but the opening wedge to more liberal interpreta tion of the law remains yet to be seen. "When F. C. Lewis, manager of the tele phone company, was appealed to for an explanation of the changed condition of affairs he said: "We are simply open today, because a fire alarm system is out of commission. It is matter of protection to the city. Yes, we answer all calls, because we cannot tell till we answer them whether it is a fire alarm or not." When enforcement of law was first begun Manager Lewis was arrested and fined. The company paid the fine and shut up Sunday saop. BOOMERANG FOR GRAFTERS (Continued from First Page.) ern Pacift'. and Justice Hrnshaw of the Supreme Cturt of the State, and Justice Kerrigan of tl.e Court of Appeal.. The photograph was printed in the cam paign of 1907 by journals opposed to Glllett. but Gillett was elected, never theless. The picture was printed In the American magazine recently as illus trative of something interesting in the line of political affinities. Since the de. clslon of the Court of Appeal, of whtch Justice Kerrigan is a member, the pho tograph has assumed added interest. Related to the Grafters. A great deal has been said about the relationships of the three justices who rendered the famous decision. Justice Cooper is a brother-in-law of W. I. Bro berk and also a brother-in-law of Ga vin McNab. Rrobeck has been indicted for attempted bribery in connection with the street railway franchise se cured by the Parkslde Transit Com pany. McNab has been an open enemy of the prosecution. He is the leader of the regular Democratic party and has used every effort to thwart Francis J. lleney. McNab endeavored to prevent the renomlnatlon of District Attorney Langdon. Justice Kerrigan's wife is a niece of McNab. Justice Hall is a brother-in-law of A. A. Moore, attorney for Tatrlck Calhoun. Fink a Sop to Machine. Although the reform element in the state has always had the co-operation of President Roose-elt, California's rep resentation In the Senate has continued to control the Federal patronage. This patronage for the moet part lias been distributed in the Interests of the ma chine. An attempt was made to force Arthur Flsk out of the postofflce. He was appointed postmaster after serving as Speaker of the State Legislature. He has been considered a machine stal wart of late and has organized his district in the interest of the Southern Pncltlc. Charges were recently filed against Flsk and something of an in vestigation made. The charges were not very serious, alleging In the main that Fisk had made a political' center of (he postofflce. The charges are still rending, but In the meantime the Presi dent has sent Fisk's name to the Senate. The attempt to oust Fisk failed utterly for two reasons. First the op position had not settled upon a candi date who commended himself to the President; and. secondly, because the President felt that, having overridden the California delegation so often, he should give it this one office if no more. ' Bend Knee to Roosevelt. The California delegation is sensi tive, as the incident of the Berkeley postoffice has shown. In the Berkeley Incident the California delegation had decided upon Charles E. Thomas for postmaster. Prestdent Wheeler, of the University of California, told the President that Thomas was a machine man and urged the appointment, of Clarence S. Merrill. The President decided to appoint Merrill and sent his name to the Senate. The California delegation was greatly agitated and rushed to the President. They had learned that they could not hope for the appointment of Thomas. They wanted to save their respective faces, so they nsked the president to withdraw the appointment of Merrill so that the d'Migation could first indorse him to make it appear that the delegation was really naming the postmaster after all. The President smiled and is always MOR DRAWN INTO IR willing to oblige the California delega tion when the delegation docs as he directs. So he withdrew the nomina tion. Then the California delegation met and with serious demeanor decided that after all Merrill was its choice and in doiscd the man it was using every means to defeat. The delegation has nursed a secret enmity on this ac count, and in order to put Senator Perkins and the rest of the boys back in good humor, the President gave them the Fisk appointment. Senator Perkins has joined the clandestine knockers and Is hammering the President on every opportunity in private. In public he shouts so loud for Roosevelt that you . can't hear any one else. On the quiet he has Foraker badly beaten as an "anti." Perkins has a press bureau and keeps the country press of the state informed of "Washington happenings." In each weekly letter is a sly shot at the President or at Taft. Perkins will have a bigger battle than he has ever won when he comes up for re-election next January. He is already be ginning to "create sentiment." RCEF HAS NOTHING TO SAY Will Not Talk Regarding Refusal to Grant Immunity. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19. The case which will be begun against Abraham Ruef tomorrow before Judge Lawlor is the one in which indictments were brought against him for the alleged .bribery of Supervisors in connection with a franchise of an overhead trolley sys tem for the United Railroads.

Mack, of Buffalo; Urey Woodson, of Kentucky; Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, and James C. Dahlman, of Omaha. The committeemen had requested Mr Bryan to meet them.

' Mr. Bryan- left this evening for a month's lecture trip, during which he will visit Chicago, Birmingham, Ala.; New York City and Montreal. BRYAN TO LEND A HAND Will Aid Kentucky Democrats Elect a Senator. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 19. William J. Bryan has volunteered to come to Ken tucky and help the Democrats win the United States . Senatorship. Governor Beckham received a letter today from Mr. Bryan saying he would be here on Tuesday. No plan or programme has been ar ranged for the day, but it Is presumed Mr. Bryan will be asked by the Legislature to make a speech before he returns to Cincinnati Tuesday night. While nothing new has developed In the Senatorial race since the adjournment on Friday, everybody is talking of a pro posed combination between Republicans and antt-Beckham Democrats for the purpose of electing State Senator Wheeler Campbell over Beckham and Bradley. It ts urged that the Republicans, being ex tremely anxious to have the state re districted and to have control of the Prison Commission and State Asylum Board, are willing to let the anti-Beck-ham Democrats name the Senator, if they will help the Republicans pass the re-districting bill and the patronage bills. It Is claimed that all the antt-Beckham men will agree to vote for Campbell if the deal is made. Another ballot for Senator will be taken tomorrow, and it is expected that by Wednesday the question will be deter mined as to whether or not the deadlock will continue. NEVER SAID HE WOULDN'T Statement Attributed to Bryan De nied by Willis J. Abbott. WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. Willis J. Abbott, of the Bryan Publicity Bureau in this city, tonight denied the published statement that he had received a letter from Mr. Bryan to the effect that he would stand aside should it develop that one of the delegations to the Denver con vention opposed his nomination. "I have never received a letter from Bryan making the statement attributed to him." Mr. Abbott declared, "and I have not heard from him on political matters for at least three weeks. So far as the statement that he had expressed the most pleasant friendly sentiments to ward Governor Hoke Smith. Senator Cul berson and Governor Johnson is con cerned, it is literally true. I am willing, however, to state my personal belief not speaking for Mr. Bryan I do not doubt that any present probable nominee of the Democratic nominee will receive his hearty and loyal support." HOKE SMITH CANT ATTEND Official Duties Will Keep Him From Democratic Conference. ATLANTA, Ga.. Jan. 19. When asked today regarding the conference of old line Democrats to be held In New York next Thursday, Governor Hoke Smith said he had no information regarding the objects of the conference.

I received an invitation, but my official duties prevented my accepting." 1 500 Men Put to Work. NEWCASTLE, Pa., Jan. 19.

TO THEIR GOVERNOR British Columbia After Scalp Because He Vetoes Ex clusion Bill. LAW ANYHOW FOR 20 DAYS Canadian Procedure Gives Ten Days . for Disallowing a Measure, During Which Time It Is In Force. VANCOUVER. B. C-. Jan. 19. (Special.) While the legislators are gathered at Victoria talking of taking the scalp of Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmuir on the Japanese question, some of the astute politicians of the country are endeavoring to figure out by just what method it Is proposed to carry out the Impeachment. Particular difficulty is being met with in finding in Canadian history a prece dent for the official beheading of the governor. The governor is the appointee of the Dominion and in various questions dur ing his term of office he has proved him self to be the friend of the Federal administration, rather than of the gov ernment of British Columbia. The rea son Is readily apparent the Ottawa ad ministration is Liberal in politics, the provincial government is Conservative. What is really happening in British Co lumbia Just now is a big political fight between tne two parties with the mil lionalre coal-baron-Lleutenant-Governor as the chopping block. Bill Disallowed Each Year. Here is the situation: The Provincial government last year passed an enact ment designed to prohibit Japanese immi gration into British Columbia. Acts of the British Columbia legislature become law immediately they have been passed ana receive the assent of the governor. Dut atter ten days they must pass In re view before the federal cabinet This bill against the Japanese had been passed year after year by the government at Victoria and as oftun disallowed by the Ottawa administration on the alleged ground tnat it was against Imperial pol ity, as Great Britain and Japan are Triendiy powers. But last year the situation was differ ent. The federal government, looking with increasing disfavor on the attempts or British Columbia to force the lcgisla tion, sought a new means of killing the bill tnat would be less unpopular with the people of the West than disallowing the legislation had come to be There is a federal election in prospect, too, and the Ottawa government, though still wish ing to maintain its stand absolutely. sought a new method, in the face of the fact that last session the legislature passed tne act unanimously both gov- ernment and opposition uniting on the proposition against the Japanese. Governor's Veto a Bombshell. Then like a bombshell"" fell the an nouncement that Governor Dunsmuir had decided not to sign the bill and that the government at Ottawa would not be called upon to repeat its unpopular dis allowance. In the coming week the Legislature has set itself the task of finding out why. The rich Governor is to have an interest ing week. Hon. W. J. Bowser, the At torney-General, will on Monday afternoon bring in a new bill, an exact replica of its vetoed brother and its disallowed pre decessors. which will undoubtedly be rushed through the House. It will be passed tip to the Governor for his signa ture. If he refuses and he probably will not there is but one thing left for the government to do: that is to 'resign. It is a certainty that the vetoing of that bill means that either the Governor or the government party must go. On this question thejentire House is unanimous. But the Governor may sign the bill and it will become law. Then, with all the political ceremony possible, It will be passed up to Ottawa, to sec if the Federal administration still adheres to its former position that it should be disallowed. The Victoria administration figures that either way it cannot lose. If Ottawa disallows its bill, the conservatives will have obtained possession of a big political whip in the West. If Ottawa allows it, then It must be in capitulation to its arch-enemy at Victoria. Law In Effect 20 Days.. In order to play most fully both ends against the middle in the political game, the British Columbia government will see that for the ten days that the act is law before it can possibly be disallowed by Ottawa the provisions' of the enact ment shall be enforced to the fullest ex tent. Officers will be ready to take their positions the moment the Governor signs the bill and at all points of entry the Japanese and Chinese will be watched with the greatest of care. If a ship load comes along at that time, the pro vincial government will be more than pleased with the opportunity of turning it back. The bill is to be passed early in the session for another reason. If it becomes" law it will probably be disallowed im mediately after the expiration of the ten days of grace. The Legislature will still be in session and will solemnly go all over the proceeding again and a second time will pass it up to the Dominion government. - Thus the provincial poli ticians expect to have it enforced for at least 20 days out of the coming month. And that is something: especially when it is reported that the Japanese are pre paring to come In In large numbers. But as to the proposed impeachment of the Governor, on the ground that after vetoing the act he made a contract, acting as a coal-mine owner, for the im portation and employment of hundreds of the very Japs which the government sought to legislate against, there appear to be very few "cases on the point" in the annals of British jurisprudence. HAWAII NEEDS CHINESE Wants Modification of Exclusion Act Against the Coolies. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 19.

TALE DF CASTAWAY LIFE SHIPWRECKED SAILORS RES CUED AFTER EIGHT MONTHS. Subsist on Raw Seals and Fashion Rude Boat With Primitive Means ' to Reach Neighboring Island. VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 19. The steamer Moiwera arrived today from Australia," bringing further details than have been cabled regarding the finding of the cast aways from the wrecked bark Dundonald, who for eight months struggled to exist on the well-named Disappointment Island, 200 miles south of New Zealand. The Dundonald, as told, with a crew of 28. was smashed on the rocks of the Island on March 7. 1906, 12 being drowned. Fif teen survivors were found at Auckland Island, which they reached in a rudely fashioned boat eight "months afterward, by the New Zealand government steamer Hinemoa. The castaways lived on raw mollyhawks and seals and banked a Are and kept it going seven months, until May. Canvas from the ship .was their covering. Cold weather then came, with snow and hail, and with their bands only they dug holes In the ground, above which huts were built of sods and sticks. In these they lived on mollyhawks and seals. At first they cooked food on the tire, but later built a mud oven and cooked food on a pplt. They knew a government food de pot was placed on Auckland Island, five miles away, and finally decided to build a boat. In July a strange-looking boat was fashioned of crooked sticks and can vas, clothing and blankets saved from the ship also being used. A small bone saved from a bird, with a hole pierced In it, was used as a needle,' and some wire from the ship was used. The boat started July 31. but, failing to find the depot, the men came back August 9. They used four or the six valuable matches. A second boat was built In September and a third in October but these were smashed. They then sent the first boat ahead and, after walking through bush and scrub for 15 miles, the food depot was found. There was a good boat there, and making sails from their clothing, the boat's crew left their rude coracle and went back to Disappointment Island and brought the others to Auckland Island. The Hinemoa. passing with a scientific party, saw their signals a month after they reached Auckland and rescued them. Four days before the Hinemoa reached port, Mrs. Cunningham, wife of a pas senger from Sydney, bound to San Fran cisco with his family, died after giving birth to- twins and was buried at sea. Captain Hemming reports that he failed to find the United States whistling buoy at Swlftsure Bank and believes it has drifted away. The steamer Otter, which reached port tonight from Comox, reports that the steamer Vadzo is heeled over, settling on the ledge oft Cape Lazo." Her engineroom and holds are flooded in the main deck. The steamer Salvor is sheltering from the gale and will not go near the Vadzo until the storm subsides. ASSASSIN'S AIM IS DEADLY M. Sviridoff Felled by Brother or Mile. Ragozinnikova. KRASNO UFIMSK, Russia, Jan. 19. M. Sviridoff, president of the local Zem stvo. was shot today by a brother of Mile Ragozinnikova, the murderess of General MaximofTsky. director of the Departments of Prisons of the Ministry of the Interior, on October 28, last. It is supposed that the. murder today was committed in revenge for the refusal of M. Sviridoff to make any move in behalf of Mile Ragozinnikova during her trial. Mile Ragozinnikova was a daughter of a teacher in the Imperial Conservatory of Music of Perm Province. She presented herself at the weekly reception of Gen eral Maximoffsky In St. Petersburg and was admitted to his presence, drew a re volver and fired several shots at the Gen eral, six bullets taking effect. At the po lice -station a large amount of high ex plosives, sufficient to blow up the entire building, and its contents, was found in her corsage. Mile Ragozinnokova was hanged on Oc tober 3L BLOW TO LIBERAL PARTY London Newspaper Comment on the Election of Newton Abbott. LONDON, Jan. 19. The Liberal morning newspapers are obliged to confess that the result of the election at Newton Abbott on Saturday, when Captain Mor rison Bell, the Unionist candidate for Parliament, defeated the Liberal candi date, C. R. Buxton, is the worst blow that the present freetrade government has received, and reveals how strenuous ly the protectionist party is working, the successful candidate being a stalwart ad vocate of "Undiluted Chamberlainism." Rioting followed the declaration of the poll at Newton Abbott on Saturday night. Two rowdy radical mobs smashed all the windows of the Constitutional Club, held the police at defiance, maltreated and rolled in the mud two prominent suf fragists and kept the streets in a state of uproar until the small hours. Many persons were Injured in the scuffles. Northwestern People In New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 19. (Special.) Northwestern people registered at New York hotels today as' follows: From Seattle W. L.
