THE SUNDAr OBEGOCTAX. PORTLAND. AUGUST 8, 1909. CHINESE ATTEMPT RIOT JIT ACCIDENT Celestial Hit by Streetcar and Dies Later in Guod Sa maritan Hospital. POLICE AVERT TROUBLE When I re Gong Fa Is Hit, Big Crowd Gathers About' Crew of AVoodlawo Car, but Bluecoals Quickly Arrive on Scene. An Incipient riot wag narrowly avert ed In the heart ot old Chinatown yes terday afternoon when Lee Gong Fu. a Chinese cook, (ell a victim of the third streetcar accident in six hours. Had it not been for the close proximity of po lice headquarters, the lives of the train crew of a northbound W oodlawn car would have been Jeopardized. The China man died later. At a time in the afternoon when the thoroughfares in the vicinity of Sec ond and Oak were crowded with Celes tials. Goner Fu attempted to cross the tracks on Second street. A Woodlawn car operated by Motorman L. H. Ander son and Conductor J. H. Brown pulled into the main tracks from a spur half a block up the street. The car was under control of Motorman Anderson and was running; at a low rate of speed. When at a distance of 10 feet the motorman espied the Chinaman In the middle of the street. Anderson immediately sounded bis gongs and shouted a warn ing; at Gong- Fu, as lie applied his emer gency brakes. Heedless of the warn ings, the Celestial continued on his way and an instant later was struck by the front vestibule. He was burled several feet toward the curb. The accident was. witnessed by the throngs of Chinamen along; the street and when Motorman Anderson brought the car to a stand still a few feet distant from the point of the accident, a horde of the slant eyed individuals swarmed about the car and hurled threatening epithets at the train crew. Officials at police bead quarters a half block away were at tracted by the commotion and a squad of bluecoats were dispatched to the scene. Their apeparance had a tenden cy to stop the Chinamen from carry ing out their threats. Gong Fu was picked up and hurried to the Good Sa maritan Hospital in an unconscious condition. Upon a thorough examina tion at the hospital It was found that aside from suffering from a number of painful bruises about the body, the skull was fractured In such a manner as to cause the physicians to abandon all hope of saving his life. He died In the hospital about 11 o clock. Lee Gong Fu baa been a resident of the United States for the past SO years. He came to Portland three years ago from Astoria. Since that time until three months ago he was employed as a t-ook in House's Cafe, 228 Third street. He was unmarried and Is prominently connected with several of the local Chi nese societies. Johnny Adam, a messenger boy em ployed by the Western Union, narrowly escaped aerious injuries when thrown from bis wheel by a westbound Wash ington streetcar at Sixth and Washing ton streets and directly isr the path of a large touring car at 5 o'clock last evening. Fortunately the lad was ex tricated from his perilous position by the timely arrival of Patrolman Adams, who grasped the messenger's leg and pulled him from the path of the wheels of the car. He was able to proceed to his home with the assistance of sev eral of bis colleagues. N. E. Rarnmond. a traveling sales man, residing at 240 East Thirty-sixth street, attempted to alight from a rap idly moving St. John car at Peninsula Station last evening and was precipi tated to the pavement in such a man ner aa to injure his left leg painfully.

What the physicians in the land and the famous medicinal waters of sev eral hot springs were unable to do for him restore him to neann roruano pure and sparkling Bull Run water and wonderful climate is. accomplish ing for Colonel W. F. Tucker. U. S. A., retired, whose domestic troubles a year ago were the talk of the country. I'nder the strain caused by the wor ries and publicity to which he was exposed by the Bensational divorce suit of his former wife, daughter of General John A. Logan, Colonel Tucker's health gave way completely. He was attacked by a complication of kidney troubles, and for many months was under constant medical attention, al most at the point. of death. Colonel Tucker waa stationed In Port land several years ago In charge of the Quartermaster's service here, and the climate and water made such an impression upon him that he felt if he could return here he would recover. 1 1 1 hi- M.nt iAttremAnt from active service. Colonel Tucker, with his devoted wife, formerly Mrs. Piatt, form erly an Army nurse, decided to leave the springs and health resorts and oome to Portland to live. "I have been In Portland only two weeks." said Colonel Tucker at the Portland Hotel last night, "and the wonderful Bull Run water and splendid climate have made a new man of me. I feel better than I have felt In many months. The water Is restoring me to health. I am hopeful that If I stay here long enough, I shall completely regain my strength. This water is doing more for me than .all the physi cians and hot springs were able to ac complish. "I like Portland very much. It is a KAatti iti- nnri Its Hull Run water and mild climate are superior to any in the whole country.

Finally I beheld the full working of all the machinery which changed good, sound ' currency Into gaseous 30 per cent and finally no per cent securities, and now, breaking my long silence and redeeming my promise made to the press in an open letter, I wish to say that I take pardonable pride in the fact that my clients, by waiting and declining to surrender their claims In exchange for the so called "securities," have forced a good settlement and vindicated my Judgment and decision. To the gentlemen. Inter alia those constituting the 'depositors' committee' (?) so-called (God save the mark), who solicited depositors to "sign off and fall In line with the plans of this reorganization, I have no apologies to offer. They will, however, not miss them. Their only loss is in the bonus that they would have been paid for getting depositors to line up and enter the fold and help open the bank for the benefl of the few specu- latlng stockholders, .while the deposit ors themselves were being damned. And yet, their loss is only in filthy lucre, for of glory they had much for were they not press-heralded, as public benefactors, unselfish patriots that they were. Among them there should be no "wailing or gnashing of teeth," for have they not been paid all that the dear public was led to believe that they were to receive? So, In conclusion, permit no to close with the words of the old motto: "To my real friends, champagne. To my sham friends, real pain." It is a sad commentary on our bank ing Institutions that whenever banks fail their first appeal is to the de positors to help them out not mindful of the fact that they have betrayed their confidence, in permitting their moneys trust money to be loaned on Insufficient and often securities filled with hot air It Is like adding vitriol to bleeding wounds. C. J. SCHNABEU tG. A. R. OFF TO SALT LAKE) Over 100 Go From Portland to At tend National Encampment. More than 100 G. A. R. veterans left Portland yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock for Salt Lake City to attend the 'National Encampment, which begins there tomorrow. Three special cars were chartered for the trip. It is thought this may be the last great encampment west of the Rocky Mountains, as the ranks of the veterans are growing thinner every year. How ever, many of the veterans think that the last great gathering of the armies of the Civil War will be held on the Pa cific Coast. The reason is that the strongest sons came West after the war and the climate has kept them strong. In order that the crippled veterans may not be required to lug baggage all over the city looking for quarters, the com mittee on entertainment has arranged to let them stay in the cars during the, time of the convention. About 200 cars in all will be grouped together, and tney will be supplied with all possible conveniences. The Woman's Relief Corps, headed by Mrs. Russ Chamberlain, left for Salt ; Lake City Friday evening. In me party ' leaving last night were: Department Commander James P Sbaw.

The Pianola-piano has taken music out of the class of the so , called accomplishments, has made it an art to be enjoyed by all, rather than the exclusive posses sion of the privileged few. We wish now to call special at tention to our magnificent exhib it of Pianola-Pianos.

Many are deterred from inves tigating the Pianola Piano because o the erroneous impression that such an instrument costs $1000, $1100 and $1150.
