llrnrl GreMltt.
Mr. Henri Gressitt was a guest
in Portland several days last
week and had many interesting
facts to relate about the Savage
production of Madam Butterfly,
with which he is connected. He
has the distinction of being what
might be termed an advance so
ciety representative, keeping sev
eral weeks ahead of the company
and interesting society In the
novel forms of "Butterfly" enter
tainments w h i c h are now so
much iu vogue in the East.
and the first speaker vas Governor
Chamberlain. In a brief address he
condemned the Government policy In
withdrawing vast areas of timber land
in Oregon. "Forest reserves for the
protection of water and timber are all
right." said the Governor, "but should
all timber lands that are now proposed
be withdrawn it will work a great in
jury to the lumber industry in Oregon
and seriously affect the commercial in
terests of the entire Northwest."
Governor Chamberlain was followed
by Mayor Lane, who spoke in a humor
ous vein and had the large audience
In an uproar during bis speech. The
theme of Mayor Lane's address was the
benefit to be derived by the association
of men of different professions.
"Chamberlain Is a good Governor,
but could he run a sawmill?" asked the
Mayor? "However, tho association of
hodles of men gives an' opportunity for
the exchange of ideas and perhaps the
Governor's address will be of benefit
to this association. Even the humblest
man is superior to the most brilliant
in some things, and often imparts
knowledge of great value. There is
nothing that tho efforts of combined
minds cannot accomplish and in the
future we may be doing business with
Mara and other planets. The best in
struction I ever received in my life
was from an insane patient and his
training fitted ine for the position I
now hold.'
.Mayor Makes 'Km Laugh.
A roar of laughter greeted this re
mark and the Mayor was unable to
continue for several minutes. He gave
as an illustration of what coriibined
and concentrated effort will do the rise
of the Japanese Empire to one of the
strongest powers in the world. Port
land he declared to be the greatest
lumber-producing citv in the world.
Franklin H. Cole wss the next speak
er, and he put the crowd in good humor
by a number of stories. He said in
piirt: "Your Governor said the Mich
igan and Minnesota lumbermen who
have visited Oregon tiave taken away
witli them nothing but pleasant mem
ories. There is no reason why they
should take anything else, as the city
seems will guarded by an efficient
police force." Mr. Cole touched on tho
car shortage and sta.ted that he con
sidered this the greatest handicap to
the lumbering Interests of the North
west. Mr. Cole is well known on the
Coast as publisher of the West Coast
Lumberman.
IJcckmarTs Strong Speech.
Victor P.eckman, or Seattle, was
called on next, and lie gave a strong
address and some startling statistics
concerning the present congestion of
traffic, caused by the car shortage. He
said:
"The condition in Oregon is nothing
compared to what it is in Washington.
In one place the grass has grown en
tirely over a loaded freight car. An
other Instance might be given where
a car was nine . days in going four
miles. .
"The average rate of freight cars on
the Northern Pacific is only 36 miles
In 24 hours, so it Is easy to see the
causes of the present congestion. Ore
gon Is to be congratulated on her de
termination to have a railroad commis
sion, and in a few years I feel assured
that great benefits to the state will
result."
A. C Dixon, who has been at the
Legislature on behalf of the railroad
commission, made a brief address,
praising the work of the Oregon Leg
islature in enacting railroad legisla
tion. The closing address was given by
George P. Cornwall. He told of his
experience at the Legislature, and ex
pressed himself as well pleased at the
passage of the railroad commission
bill. He said further: "Oregon is a
vast, undeveloped empire, and what we
need to develop it is box-cars."
After the banquet the members ad
journed to the club rooms.

TEN CHINESE IN DRAGNET
Kirs-t Kaid for Several Weeks Made
Last Night.
Ten Chinese were arrested at 10:30
o'clock last night in a raid at 145 Sec
ond street, led by Detective Sergeant
Baty, and assisted by Patrolman
James Anderson. Police Electrician Gif
ford and Acting Detective Kienlen.
Charges of gambling and of frequenting
a gambling-house were placed against
them and they were released on bail.
This is the first raid made for some
time in the Chinese district, although
reliable information is to the effect that
more than 20 fantan games' and several
lotteries are running constantly. Flormer
raids have been made by officers other
than those regularly assigned to China
town, and last night Acting Detectives
Hill and Mallett. comprising the China
town detail, were not in on this raid.
They have been singularly inactive for
many weeks, making no important ar
rests of Chinese.
A Chinese merchant on Second street is
authority for the statement that the
poliee are being paid $10 a week for each
fantan game, but he says he docs not
know which officers get the money.

jured, are rapidly recovering.
A jury impaneled by Acting Coroner
Arthur L. Flnlcy brought in the fol
lowing verdict yesterday .noon:
"That the deceased, Hugh B. Purdin,
came to his death at the Good Samari
tan Hospital on the 15th day of Febru
ary, 1907, about 2 o'clock P. M. from
the effects of injuries received about
11 A. M. of the same day by falling
from the flume bridge under course
of construction across Balch's Gulch,
about 200 feet south of Willamette
Heights Bridge. From the evidence
submitted to the jury, we find that the
accident was caused by the slipping of
tho sling which was improperly ad
justed around a 15-foot bent, while
same was being raised to a position,
said sling being fastened to a hook
and tackle, which allowed the bent
to fall across the stringers upon which
the workmen were standing, causing
same to break, precipitating the men 40
feet to the ground below."
Purdin's body was shipped to Hills
boro 'last night, where the funeral ser
vices will be held tomorrow under the
auspices of the Woodmen of the World,
of which order he was a member.

OLD-TIMEUS OF MULTNOMAH
CLUB HOLD REUNION.
Nearly Fifty Persons at Banquet at
Iticliards Hotel Revive Mem
ories of Other lajs.
Old guards ot the Multnomah Club
gathered at Richards' Hotel last night in
annual reunion. It was the seventh
banquet of the charter members of the
club and was by far the most successful
and thoroughly enjoyable of those that
have been held. In addition to the
charter members the first 300 members
of the Multnomah Club were privileged
to attend. There were nearly 50 present.
The veterans sat down to the rabies at
7 o'clock and remained there until long
after midnight. They enjoyed every
minute of it. Beginning with a sumptuous
spread the banquet was concluded with
a dozen or more of spirited addresses
dealing almost entirely with the Multno
mah Club. The good old times of days
gone by, the many memorable amateur
games and the pranks of the young men
who were instrumental In the organiza
tion of the club were revived, and all
were young once again. None of those
present was very old but they were
youths in spirit last night.
The banquet hall and the tables were
beautifully decorated. Suspended over
the hcaxls of the banqueters was an im
mense banner o'f the Winged M, and
the red and white ribbons, the colors
of the club, were criss-crossed about the
hall. Lined along the center of the
table from one end to the other were
dozens of the trophies of the club such
as silver cups won in hard-fouzht con
tests on the amateur field. The arrange
ments of the tables and the decorations
received much praise.
Edward Cookingham presided as toast
master. Among the speakers was President-elect
George W. McMillan, who re
sponded to the toast. "The Future." He
assured those present that he would
direct the best of his energies to the up
building and fostering of the organization
during the coming year of his incumbency
and congratulated those present upon the
great part they had taken in making
the Multnomah Club what it is. Dom

ViN HORN FILES ANSWER
SAYS HE DID NOT ELOPE WITH
NEW YORK MAN'S WIFE.
Hectares He Married Her After She
Had Secured Divorce and That
Her Children Now Have Home.
In an answer tiled in the local United
Stales Circuit Court Friday afternoon.
Willis Van Horn denies almost every
thing Edward E- Philpolt of Niagarn
Falls, N. says about him, partic-Uf
larlv regarding Van Horn's elopement
with the New Yorker's wife as set
forth in a J26.0W damage suit filed
here last October.
According to Phllpott. Van Horn,
who formerly resided at Niagara Falls,
not only eloped rvith the complainant's
wife Mary B. Philpott, but took the two
children. Edward W. Phllpott, aged 1-.
and Marion Philpott, aged 10. with him
when the couple came to Oregon In the
Summer of 1S05.
Van Horn, in his answer, admits that
he accompanied Mrs. Philpott from
Buffalo, New York, on or about the
26th day of July, 1!05. and came with
her to the State of Oregon, and that
nhe had with her her two children. De
fendant further admits that ever since
the --th day of February, 1906. he has
lived with Mrs. Philpott and her chil
dren, and has held himself and her to
be husband and wife.
That, f-xcept as above expressly ad
mitted, the clefenJant denies each and
every allegation contained In Phllpott's
complaint.
The defendant, a separate answer,
says that Phllpott. about a year ago.
procured a final decree divorcing him
from his wife. Van Horn also alleges
that Mrs. Philpott never had any love
or affection for plaintiff, but. on the
contrary, hud alwajB disliked him: that
plaintiff did not properlj- support and
care for her and the children; that he
was cruel, and mistreated her. and in
flicted upon her personal Indignities:
that hi depraved and selfish disposi
tion anu dissolute habits and degraded
course of life caused her great humili
ation and suffering-, in consequence of
which she and plaintiff lived together
unhappily: that such unhappiness was
not caused by any undue intimacy with
defendant. Van Horn; that she came to
the Coast of her own free will, and was
not enticed by defendant.
That in February. 1906. after she had
been divorced from Phllpott, she was
married to Van Horn, and 'that her
two children have a good home and are
contented and happy.

Here is the most peculiar border you ever saw in a. news

Piano Player roll of music.
You notice the short, light dots and then the heavy black
ones; you see the letters "P" and "F" and all the different
words all these are to aid you in giving expression to the
music. The makers of the Ceciiian say it is the only piano
player that does not play mechanically, and were you to
near a Ceciiian you would say so, too. It sounds just like
one of the artists of the Old World had come to live with
you.
