TESTFOB "WOMEN IN THE-BDX" LAW Turn Halle Management Will Bring Action in Courts to Decide Matter. POLICE RAID THE RESORT RepecUble Women Are Caught In the Dragnet and Victims De clare Their Intention to Fight to the Finish. The ordinance recently passed by the City Council which provides for the exclusion of women from saloons Is to be tested much sooner than expected, and this contingency was brought bout by the raiding of the Turn Halle Cafe by Patrolman W. Fuller, a new man on the police force, yesterday af ternoon. Charles Klrchner. one of the pro prietors of the resort at Fourth and Yamhill, and five women patrons of the place were placed under arrest by the newly appointed officer, who entered the resort and finding- the women there decided to act upon what he construed to be his duty, beveral women were present, but the officer beinjr alone, despite his threat to use his Run, was unable to prevent them from leaving; before making1 the arrest. Case Will Be Contested. Mr. Klrchner says that his cafe com piles with all of the provisions of the city ordinance, and that the arrest is totally without warrant. He further more -contends that the police officer w ho made tho arrest had absolutely no rtftht to interfere with his business, and that he will contest the case to the limit. It Is also possible that the pro prietor will file charges against the officer as soon as the case has been decided by the courts. The Turn Halle has been operated for above 20 years and has frequently been In trouble with the police. It Is known as a resort for theater-goers. The new ordinance Is said to be very stringent In its wording and it is pre sumed that upon Its wording the offi cer took it upon himself to act, for it was generally admitted at police head quarters that he had received no orders to make any arrests in the case of the resort mentioned. What the Law Provides. Following is City Attorney Kava TtauKh's interpretation of the ordi nance; Ordinance No. 1M00 Is violated If any li censed liquor draper, or th owner or pro prietor of any aaioon, barroom, drinking chop, or place when Intoxicating liquors are kt for sale or sold at retail or served, either by himself or by any servant, employe or acent, etiall suffer or permit vir female per son to enter u h place lor the purpoea of drinking or buying any Intoxicating liquors, or to remain or loiter In or about any room, bvx. booth, alcove or place adjoining and connected In any way with amen place.

When ratrolman Fuller reported what he bad done to Chief Grltzmacher the chief asked by what authority he ha.l acted in the matter. A secret ses sion followed, loiter the chief ordered Captain of Police Bailey to book Klrch ner and his p.ntrons. The latter were assessed ach and the proprie tor ISO to Insure appearance in the Municipal Court In the morninjr. Later the chief Instructed his staff to arrest only the proprietor of re sorts, but to take the names of the patrons. The women arrested yesterday after noon are of respectable families.

The preliminary hearing; of the case will be heard before Municipal Judge Van Zante this morning. BUTTER MARKET IN PERIL Dr. Withy-combe Sonnds Warning to Orefron farm must take care lest Eastern competitors crowd them out of their butter market at horns, says Dr. James Wlthycombe. director of the experiment station of tha State Agri cultural Colleua. The danger Ilea In Impairment of the cream quality that goes Into the butter. The cream la held ao Ions that It becomes stale be fore reaching; the creamery, or is ex posed to sun In shipment, until fer mentation and almost putrefaction hare robbed it of Its flrst-claas quality. Increasing; quantities of Minnesota butter are coming; Into the Oregron market, on acconut of the Impaired grade of the Oregon product. The Minnesota market Is about cents a pound under that of this region, and. as the Minnesota butter can be laid down here at a cost of between 1 and 2 cents a pound, there Is a margin of 4 or S cents a pound for admission of the outside product. Dr. Wlthycombe discussed this mat ter for publication last nlgh with some reluctance. He said that he did not wish to utter sentiments that might sound to many persons pessi mistic or sensational. lie remarked, however, that he felt It his duty to make known the alarm that is already felt by creamery men and others who behold the growing Importations of outside butter. "Large part of our butter." said he, "does not reach the standard of 11 and 15 years ago, when farmers brought their whole milk to the creameries and the cream was worked up into butter at once. Our dairy Industry has made progress In many directions in that time, but It Is menaced now by a very serious danger. 'The cream la kept too long on the farm. It is not properly cooled and handled after separating. It is fre quently bauled long distances, In the RECALL OLD DAYS White-Ribboners Review Their Pioneer Struggles.

The Middle Western States lost the lead In cheese to Canada for fail ure to keep pace with modern im provements, in the race for supremacy. "We have laeai oairy conamons in this state, but we shall have to make better use - of them in order to cope with rivals. Shipments of cream need to be more frequent from the farm.

WANTS FIRE PROTECTION Xorth Alblns Club Starts Campaign for Engine-House. With the same persistency that the North Alblna Push Club pursued the fire-hydrant Investigation and discov ered SO that were rusting on a back street in Portland, the club has started a campaign for a fire-station and a fire engine to protect the growing district. At the last meting of the club a com mittee composed of 12 men was ap pointed to start the movement for fire protection, with instructions not to cease labor until success can be re ported. At the last meeting of the club J. TL Nolta read from the report of allow ances made for fire protection, in the different portiona of the city. North Alblna fire station Is mentioned, but the place for the appropriation was left vacant, and this vacancy Is what caused the movement. Councilman Vaughn was present and promised his co-operation. Mayor Lane, who also was a guest of the club, commended the energy of the organization. North Alblna has a small fire house built on Alblna avenue at the expense of the property-owners and supplied with a hose-wagon. The peo ple Insist that a fire engine fully equip ped should be placed in that district, and point out that several million dol lars worth of Improvements have been made and more are In progress.

In San Francisco, before the great dlsrter, began the romance of Hong T'.ng and Ling Sing that culminated yesterday In their marriage by Justice BelL The ceremony waa witnessed by half a dozen countrymen and several attaches of the court. Attired In the latest of Oriental fash ions, her smooth-combed tresses re splendent with many quaint and, curi ous ornaments, the unblushing 'bride accompanied the groom to the County Clerk'a office, where they secured a li cense, and then went with him to Justice Bell's office. She wore no rosea, but the smile was there. The groom, one of the non-progressive Chinese who refuses to part with his queue, had the long black braid neatly decorated with black and white bows. In his hand he carried email pieces of red paper, his friends doing likewise, which were scattered along the street to the Justice's office, a sym bol or token of good will toward all men, and a hope for good luck in the future. With the aid of an Interpreter, they answered the questions prescribed by law, and at the conclusion of the cere mony, the groom distributed cigars throughout the building. He produced a big handful of shining gold pieces, and seemed greatly astonished to learn that the costs were only nominal. Hong Ting and his bride had com pleted arrangements to be married in San Francisco when the disaster oc curred. She came to Portland and he followed as soon as possible. Tonight In Second street the Oriental marriage ceremony will be performed by regular priests, but both the bride and groom insisted on being married according to the American laws. It is one of the very few cases In local records where Chinese have adopted the American custom of mar rying. Prominent Chinese, however, declare that future marriages in this city will be performed according to the American custom. A strange wedding, perhaps the only known case on record, of an inter-marriage of the two races, was performed Monday by Judge Gantenbeln, who united In marriage a Chinese and an. Indian squaw. Chinese, as a rule, are very unfriendly to Indians, almost as much so as they are to negroes. WILL PLAY IN AUSTRALIA "The Clansman" to Make Six Months' Visit Next Tear. George H. Brennan, manager of "The Clansman" Company coming to the Heilig Theater next week, has concluded ar rangements with Director Williamson, of the Melbourne and Sydney theaters to play "The Clansman" in Australia in the Summer of 1909. The original company now touring the Pacific Coast will be taken across for a tour of the Australian cities of six months' duration and includ ing also visits to Hawaii, New Zealand, Manila and Hongkong. Director Williamson states in a recent letter to "The Clansman's" manager that Australia, as he styles It, is "America crazy" since the visit of the battleship fleet. He says that the Anglo-Japanese alliance is Intensely unpopular with the Australians, and he thinks It would re quire but one or two more disagreeable incidents like that alliance to. cause the Australians to break with the old coun try and Join hands with ours. . As "The Clansman" is the champion of white supremacy and as the Australians above all things desire a "white Pacific." Its popularity on the other side may eas ily be guessed at. "I can assure The Clansman.' " concludes Director William son, "of a magnificent reception in Aus tralia and a highly profitable visit." Amusements Wtui th n Aetata amy. - Tonight Twice Tomorrow.

WILL NOT SIGN LICENSES Tilth Ward Councilman Will Fight Opening of Eatlng-Houscs in Drinking Places "With All His Power. Councilman Cottel. chairman of tho Council committee on liquor licenses, declares that he will never sign a license for a restaurant In any estab lished saloon. He says he will fight, with all tha power at his command, all applications for restaurant licenses In saloons, believing that It Is wrong In prlnciplo and contrary to the spirit of the ordinance recently passed by the Council forbidding women to enter sa loons for the purpose of drinking. "I positively will not sign any license for restaurants to be Installed In sa loons," said Councilman Cottel. , "I will fight these applications, because I do not believe It Is right to grant licenses to persons who wish to put In little eating-houses Just to avoid the strin gent provisions of the ordinance aimed to keep women out of saloons. I feared all the time that. If the measure was passed, it would lead to a large In crease in restaurants, as to serve meals Is the only means of avoiding the pro visions. The law is virtually tho same as that proposed some time ago by Councilman Driscoll. I said at the time that I suspected something wrong with any reform measure to be fathered by Mr. Driscoll." Tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock Is the last moment of gTace for saloon keepers. By that hour tbey must have their licenses or It will be up to the police to close the saloons. While licenses are supposed to be taken out on the first day of each quarter, the city by a custom aliowa the proprietors to run until ten days thereafter. Be cause of the stringent features of the ordinance barring women from saloons. Borne of the' proprietors feared to take out their licenses, thinking that it would ruin their business. Less than one-half of the licenses have been re newed as yet. The saloohkeepers are endeavoring to find a means to escape the drastic terms of the Taw, which is now being enforced by the police. A number of saloonkeepers have been cited to appear before the liquor license committee of the Council at Its meet ing to be held next Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. It has been reported to the committee that the West Coast Oyster House, a Seventh street resort. Is still conducted by Ed Johnson, whose license was revoked some months ago. At that time John eon swore that he had quit the busi ness, and implored the committee to transfer the liquor license to Ed Ken nedy, which was done. Councilman Cottel. however, while passing the re sort recently, saw Johnson's name on the window In large letters as the pro prietor. License Inspector Hutchinson, when questioned by Dr. Cottel, said that Johnson pays for the license renewals each quarter, and that Kennedy ap pears to have little to do with the business of the establishment. It Is also charged that there have been numerous violations of the liquor laws at the plaoe, and a peculiar feature of the affair Is that the police have never been able to detect any violations. It is likely Johnson and Kennedy will be cited to appear and explain matters. REJECTS CHANGED TERMS Portland Firm Abandons Irrigation Contract in Montana. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Tha contract of the Pacific Coast Construction Com pany, of Portland, for construction of a dam on the Lower Yellowstone irrigation project in Montana, has been suspended and the Reclamation Service has been authorized to complete the work by force account. This action was taken as a re sult of the refusal of the contractors to complete the work in ' accordance with the terms of the contract, largely In the matter of time. H. S. Huson, president of the Padflo Coast Construction Company, said last night that after the contract had been closed for the construction of the dam referred to in the above dispatch, the Government notified his company that steel sheet piling was to be substituted for wood, and that no allowance would be made for the difference in cost of material, also that no allowance would be made In the time limit In which the work was to have been completed. Owing to the coming stage of water In the stream preventing the handling of the work in the time originally figured on, Mr. Huson said his company was un willing to undertake the work on the new conditions and so notified the authori ties In Washington. Shortly after this notice his company received advices that the contract was abrogated by the Gov ernment. FLEET READY FOR JAPAN Safely Rides Out Typhoon at Anchor' at Manila. MANILA, Oct. 8. Another typhoon has passed close to Manila and It Btill hovers near by. A gale blew last night, but was not troublesome to the fleet, which had received ample warning. Orders were issued that all shore leave men should report aboard their vessels last night. In order to provide against any possibility of being cut off from shore today. The storm Interrupted the loading of some supplies, but It is expected they will be loaded on the ships today. The fleet will be ready for sea this evening en route to Japan.

"'A friend of my family was visiting at our house and, seeing my condition, insisted that coffee was at the bottom of my trouble. I confess I was skep tical' but promised to try Postum In place of coffee. "It was nearly three weeks before I noticed much of any change, as my case was a bad one. Then I saw that my nervousness was gradually disappear ing. A little later I was able to sleep a part of the night on my left side, something I had been unable to do for 5 years at least. "I kept on using Postum, and the result is, so far as heart trouble and nervousness are concerned, I am a well man. "The best proof la that I am writing this with my own hand, a thing I was unable to do for several years prior to the change from coffee to Postum." "There's a Reason."
