CASE TO COME UP MONDAY (ult I Hoped to Break Vp Syen Whereby Ton; and Fmlll- ' Instruct Xe-trcorrier How to Conrinc Anthorltlea. AJthoucli declaring- that they wer. not In any way connected with the underground railway ayetera by which Chines laborer are securing: admit tance to tha United States. Attorneys Slnnott and Banks consumed a large rart of yesterday afternoon In attempting- to Induce United States Commis sioner Cannon to allow ball In the case of Chin Wah. arrested by Immigration officers on charges of being; unlawfully In the United States. Challenged by Assistant United States Attorney Evans at the last moment to go to trial on the Issues of the depor tation case, the representatles of the wealthy Chinese merchants declined to submit evidence. Chin Wah la an In. mate of the County Jail and haa been Incommunicado since his arrest. He Is not allowed to receive visitors, or present of any kind. Prisoner Ieuled Gift. Baskets of flowers, parcels or fruit. Chinese delicacies and other Innocent appearing- presentations have been sent to the Jail, but under the Instructions of the United States Marshal, not an Item of any of the articles which msy contain a message of Instruction will be allowed to reach 'the Imprisoned Celestial. The case will be heard on its merits next Monday. In the meantime. Commissioner Can non has withheld a decision of the ball question presented at the hearing. Attorneys for the Incarcerated Chi nese cited two ca-ies from United States Courts wherein Chinese were declared to be entitled to ball under charges af fecting their participation In criminal matters, but It was contended by As sistant United States Attorney Evan that Chin Wah Is charged with being a Chinese laborer unlawfully within the United States, and therefore the action Is of a civil nature, which precludea the Idea of his securing liberty on bonds. The Government contends for the right to detain any Chinese for Investigation as to bis right to be in the United State. Suit I Interesting-. Tha suit Is one of the most interest ing over presented to the Federal courts. In that it Involves the Idea of breaking; up the system of aiding Chi nese in securing admission to this country In violation of the Immigra tion laws. It hss been charged that the system of "tongs" or families by which the Chinese people cling to gether requires that whenever a mem ber of a family is arrested the tong hall furnish all the aid within Its pow er. In carrying- out this plan it Is ar med that Portland Chinese of stand ing; have been compelled to not only furnish bonds for the appearance of Chinese nnder arrest for violation of the Immigration law, but t.sve been compelled to establish a school for their Instruction. As ooq a released, the Chinamen would be sent to school, and no matter how Ignorant he may have been at the time of his arrest. It Is said that the Chinaman would be ready to re. cite the alphabet In English, count money and relate the history of his American ancestors when presented for trial some weeks later. At all times. It Is said, the Chinese delayed trial for as long- a period as possible. No Understanding- Shown. Testerday Chin Wah sat In the court room without displaying- a particle of understanding of the procedure. His glittering eyes watched the officers of tne court during every moment of the hearing, but otherwise he apparent ly knew nothing of what was going on. Attorneys Honks and Sinnott have not begun habeas corpus proceedings to svure the liberty of their client, pre ferring to try out the Issues before the court which will of necessity have tha larger part to do with deportatlona at future times. Immigration officers of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor have con. tended for many months that Chinese immigrants are not entitled to hall and have been sustained hy ludge Ilanford In the feattl district.

In 1SS Mr. Tuttle. then 20 years of age. and Mr. Thatcher, then IS years old. worked together at Oswego, It. Y, as Western Union commercial tele graph operators. The same year Mr. Thatcher left and went to Buffalo nd thereafter, till yesterday, the paths of the two men were widely divergent. Mr. Thatcher was not aware that the friend of his youth wns in this par: of the United States. "I'd have known. Harry anywhera by that cast of Jaw," declared the Port land man. "Very few men have It and It Is a thing that does not seem to change." The Minneapolis visitor came back with: "Well. Joe doesn't look- a bit older; I guess neither of us do. except that we have both become gray. I've got Joe beat, though. He's partly bald and I've managed to save my hair. Tha two friends spent the day In visiting points of Interest around the city. Including the rooms of the com merclal Club. Mr. Tuttle Is preslden of the Minneapolis Commercial Club.

"I don't wish to appear disloyal to Mln neapolls. but I must say that they beat our quarters all hollow. Inci dentally. Portland comes nearer my Ideal of the model city than any city I have ever been In. except, of course. Minneapolis. At that I believe your city will be in the same class as our when you get 300.000 population. whlcH I do not think will be long." This Is the telegraph magnate's first visit to the Pacific Coast. He came out with a trainload of railway of ficials and other prominent men from the Twin Cities to attend the Dry Farming Congresa at Spokane, and do elded not to miss the opportunity to visit Portland.

Our price ' j i PROTEST-IS HEARD Dairymen Feel Effect of Pub lic Protest at Prices.' DEALERS ASK FOR HEARING Manx Persons Cancel Orders for Milk and Cream City Attor nejr bald to Have Evidence of Collusion by Healers. Feeling; that they have been unjust ly treated by the publlo In the agita tion which ha arisen a the result of tha recent advance In the price of milk, the dairymen of the city, ac cording to a statement made last night by Robert Ireland, manager of the Hazel wood Cream Company, have started a movement toward seeking an audience with the member of the Commercial Club and the Consumers' League, believing that they acn per suade these people that there Is no profit In the milk business at prevail ing prices. "We have had dozens of telephone calls from people to cancel their orders for milk and cream since this agita tion commenced, said Mr. Ireland, "and X am Informed that other firms In the city have had the same experience. We are not malefactors and we are not making money on the distribution of milk at the rates now In vogue. If It were possible to effect a consolidation of delivery systems. It might be pos sible to maintain the present prices and. operate at a reasonable profit. If this Is not done, a great many of the smaller dealers will be forced out of business by gradual loss of capital." David Brown, of hpokane. president of the Hazelwood Cream Company, ar rived in the city yesterday, and con ferred with Manager Ireland as to ways and means of subduing the pop ular agitation. They nave aeciura to lslt C. C. Chapman, manager of the promotion department of the Commer cial Club, and obtain his views as to the expediency of taking the subject nn with that body. Later they will aeek an audience with the officers of the Consumers Leafrue, wltn a view to obtaining permission to explain the milk situation In detail to tne memDers of that organization at a public meet ing. Asked If he would take It up at the next meeting or tne Dairymen Protective Association. Mr. Ireland sold: The Haxelwood Cream company would not dare to take the initiative In a matter ot that kind. The smaller dealers would at once suspect that our company, being strong financially, was scheming to monopolize the milk b"usl nss and there would be rharees of combine to control prices' on the part of the public. Wei feel that the Com mercial Club or ' some organization more or less publlo in character should make the first move. The publlo should first be educated to the necessi ty for it." ' Reports were current aronnd police headquarter yesterday that the detec tive in the employ of the City Attor ney's office had obtained positive proof of collusion on the part of the milk dealer of the ctiy, but whatever Information has been secured will be kept under cover until tha commence ment of prosecutions. Inquiry among the dairymen of the city yesterday developed a determina tion on their part to adhere to the new scale of prices despite the protests of the public Commenting on the actions of several persons who are said to have declared that they will refuse to pay In excess of the old rates, one of the milk dealers said: "All persons who receive milk from us must pay according to the schedule, which went Into effect October 1. I have'nt heard of any dairyman who has even thought of going back to the old prices." Manager Ireland, of the Hazel wood Cream Company, says that four farmers visited him yesterday and an nounced their Intention of discontinu ing the keeping of milch cows if the city ordinance relating to sanitary con ditions must be complied with, on the ground that they will be put to great expense " .
