OLDS & KING WILL AID 00M PAUL Portland Friends of the Boers "to Hold a Meeting. GERMAN CITIZENS LEAD THE MOVE Incident .at the Annual Dinner of the Commercial Club Aronses Some Indignation. A number of Boer sympathizers in Port land have united to form a society for the purpose of raising money to assist Oom Paul and his followers. Arrange ments are now making to secure a hall uid speakers for a meeting, the date of, whioh is not yet fixed. Judge Thomas O'Day will be one of the speakers. No' others have been selected. While the society -will receive into mem bership any who are friendly to the Boers in their present war -with Great Britain, there is little doubt that the majority of members "will be Germans. A prominent German said yesterday that probably 09 per cent of his countrymen in Portland are In sympathy with the Boers. "This," he said, "is natural pwing to the close ties between the -Germans and the Dutch." The present movement owes Its existence to an Incident at the annual dinner of the Commercial Club. At the close of British Consul Laidlaw's response to the toast, "The Queen," the guests gave three cheers for her majesty. This was taken by the 3oer sympathizers to be an affront not only to them, but to Americans, and it is to counteract what they term the unpatriotic effect of those three cheers for her Britannic majesty that the com ing pro-Boer meeting Is to be held. One of the promoters of the new society said yesterday: "At a banauet in honor of the -queen, It would be proper for Americans to cheer for the .queen, but -what right have they to (do so at a purely local affair, when the queen Is now at war with a country with whom, many American citizens sym pathize? We German-Americans will go to a German dinner, perhaps, and cheer lor the emperor (I never do), but we do not cheer for him at banquets or other occasions attended By Americans. We re sorvc our cheers for the country of our adoption. And another thing which has angered the Boer sympathizers was the fact that Captain Coghlan, of 'Hoch der ICaiser fame, an American naval officer, should join in the cheers for the sovereign of another country. We are going to hold a meeting to show that there are Amer icans in Portland, who are not friends of Great Britain." The first meeting of the Boer eympathiz--ers, which was little more than a com mittee meeting, was held in the Union block Wednesday night, but the proceed ings were kept secret. A number of well known citizens were In attendance, some of them being natives of Germany and some of Ireland. The tone of the meeting was moderate, but it was determined to make some kind of a showing, and to that end committees were delegated to secure a hall and speakers for a public meeting. It is the intention to make this meeting as rousing as possible, and to have every man In Portland, who Is a Boer sympathizer there. Several prom inent men have been Invited to speak, but so far as known. Judge O'Day Is the only one who has accepted. i SAYS HE DID A FAVOR. Chinese Btstanrater Defense for Selling- Champagne. The case of Lee Wing Gow, a Chinese restaurant-keeper, accused of selling liquor without license, occupied Judge Hennessys attention for quite a while yesterday af ter afoon. License Collector .Beach testified that he, 4n company wlfh. two other men. visited Gow's refectory on Monday last, and "were furnished a bottle of Chinese gin with the lunch, the whole bill amount ing to $1 50. A pint bottle, wrapped with straw, vas produced in evidence, as Mr. Beach had retained it after tasting of the stuff. This bottle cost 40 cents, or a quart bottle -would have amounted to 80 centsl? the Chinese waiter told Mr. Beach aCthV time. The defendant's attorney produced evi dence to show that the waiter who served the party was not a regular employe of the establishment, but was simply volun teering his services on tne occasion; that the bottle which the defendant averted contained Chinese champagne, was not kept in stock, Tut was procured at the store of Pong Ling Ti, on the corner of Second and Pine streets. Lee Wing Gow, i through an Interpreter, stated that liquor is procured at some other place when his -customers call for It, and that he made no profit from Its sale, as he paid just as -much "as he received for It. He furnished only Chinese gin, or champagne, as an ac commodation to his patrons, and therefore did not need a license. In rebuttal. Mr. Beach said the waiter "had no time to o out for the 1 quor, as it was produced immediately on being called for. The waiter did not leave the restaurant in quest of it, so far as the complaining witness knew. uounsei ior me oerense said the Chi- given ihelr time and services for a num esebusiness men of -Portland are always f ber ot years toward keeping up the com- wnung to pay au lawrni jicenses exacted by the city, but as this bottle had been procured for Mr. Beach by a party not at Till connected With the restaurant, he asked that the case be dismissed. Deputy City Attorney Xavis, on the other hand, thought that if Lee "Wing Gow was let off, it would be the duty of the city of Portland to refund the casii paid "by seven restaurant-keepers, who have procured liquor licenses' since the late or dinance was passed.

In "Captain Swift," which 'was present ed by the Neill company to a crowded house at the Marquam last night, Mr. James Neill has an opportunity to display a talent, for strong melodramatic acting which not one of the earlier plays has .given him. As the Australian bandit, hias queradlng as a gentleman In London so ciety, he compels the sympathy of the audience. They throw respect for the law to the winds, take no heed of the repeated reminders of his dark past and watch with breathless interest the progress of his love affair with the girl who has given her heart to him; his exposure and his brief attempts to escape. To them the 'villains 'are the servant who is striving to effect his downfall, and the detective, who Is on his track. Never does It occur to them that he has met with retribution. Thief and hypocrite though he may he, he is to them a hero, and one whose for tunes are of the most vital and all-absorbing Interest. Few men can do this In such a character. The company is fully equal to the de mands of the play, which are great Frank Mac Vicars, as Mr. Gardiner, in tnor most grateful If not the most Important role, made an excellent foil for Mr. Neill In the more dramatic passages, and was delightful in the little love scenes with Mabel Seabrooke, a character which was charmingly played by Grace Mae Lamkln. George Bloomquest, as the hot-headed Harry Seabrooke, supplied what comedy the playwright has seen fit to interpo late, and his manly portrayal of the frank, open-hearted boy won him repeated ap plause. Bdythe Chapman in a taxing emotional role, that of Mrs. Seabrooke, the mothei of Swift, did a superb piece of acting, and in the heavier scenes shared honors equally with Mr. Neill. In the character of Stella Darblsher, Julia Dean had rathe a different part from any which she has thus far portrayed, and her versatility was strongly brought out in the last act, when she meets her lover for the last time. The remainder of the company was aa mlrably cast, and the performance wa given without a single weak spot. The audience was one of the most apprecia tive of the week, and the company wan obliged to respond to recalls at the close of the three first acts. Tonight "Captain Letterblair" will be given, and at the matinee this afternoon "A Bachelor's Romance" will be repeated. a INCREASING MAIL ORDERS. Postofflce Department Encourages Trade Thronsrh. the Mails. ,PhQstmaster Croasman. has Just ordered from the postofflce department a 'large number, of blank applications for money orders with the names of such dealers, merchants, etc., who desire them, printed therein. The general public has very little Idea of the Immense amount of business done in Portland and in all cities by mall orders. This trade has been hampered by lack, Qf facilities' for sending exact amountssafcly through 'the malls, or "by carelessness pn the part of the remitter' m oDtatning money orders at points where issued. "This impediment," said Mr. Croasman, "has- been lessened by the large number of money order offices recently established In all parts of the country. And It i3 probable that in a short 4ime the money- pr4er. system will be, extended, to ay the irAlla AAA Wl7 VMUAlfct J. "It all recall dealers and others receiving remittances would call the attention of their correspondents to the desirability, safeness and cheapness of remitting by money order. It would be better." To facilitate this the postofflce depart ment has agreed to furnish dealers with the applications with their names printed as has been stated. In sending out their catalogues, circulars and( .letters, ond of these blanks can oe enclosed by the mer chants. The advantages can be readily seen. The remitter will be reminded of the money-order system as a convenient method of sending exact amounts. The back of the application will sh6w the fee required. The payee's name being prln$ed2in the application will Insure cor re5tMssuancejofJtho,nrd.er,vand the re mitter having the application at hand can All in the balance and send it to the post office by any messenger to obtain the order. By general use of these specially printed applications a much larger -remittance ,ty money order Jjl je. encouraged, and there will he a Tessamount'of postage stamps sent through' 'the malls?" . Postmaster Croasman desires to ca'l the attention of all dealers -frho may want these applications. All that Is necessary Is to notify him. Snnnj-slde Volunteer Firemen. The Sunnyslde fire company has decided to make an effort to raise the money with which to connect up the tower bell of the hosehouse at Sunnyslde with the elec trie fire-alarm system. The company has arranged to give a dance on the evening of February 14, In the hall above the hose- house, and the volunteers hope for a larj attendance on that occasion. Thev have pany. and have responded to calls for fires without pay. There are two paid men, the driver and the foreman. The company deserves the appreciation of the commun ity for their services In protecting property at Sunnyslde. They think that it will help them to do this by attaching the bell to the fire-alarm system so that they can hear the fire alarms and know whether ,thelr services are required. 1 .aw i in Pianos Organs.

Mr. McGinn does not regard Manila at all promising until after the insurrection is quelled, especially for profession men. Of the Oregon boys discharged there, or who have gone to the Islands as civilians, he says there are none but who look forward to their return to the United States with fond pleasure. "Charley Jarmin Is still in the custom house," said he, "filling the same position tendered him when he was mustered out. He received slight injuries recently from a fall, which were temporary. F. W.

They want to get enough, at least, to come back to the United States In style. None of them thinks of living there permanently. One cannot go Into any business there yet without permission from the military au thorities, which is often hard to get. An effort is made to stamp out gambling, but many games are running, either undpr cover or by connivance. The saloons are now limited, it being the purpose of the authorities to permit no additional saloona within certain districts. It is about im possible to get a license for a saloon on the Escolfea or anywhere within a reason able distance of the central or business portion of the city. "The administration of justice Is scan dalous. Murders and robberies are com mitted day after day without apparent capacity on the part of the soldiers to get hold of the offenders. Some persons are arrested, but nobody seems to be brought to trial. This is all caused by the Filipino judges, as there seems to be some sort of an old law In force which permits the&e j Judges to keep persons accused from trial I almost indefinitely. The Filipino judges are universally regarded as corrupt. What is needed is the establishment of Amer ican courts. All the European people ana the most of the Filipinos themselves mis trust .the Filipino judges. There Is room for great Improvement In the department of justice "From what I could gather, the Filipinos will likely try to hold out until after our next presidential election, as they believe the anti-expansion party of this country very strong. You will consider, however, that I left the Islands about the beginning of the present vigorous campaign. Froni what the Insurrectos have learned, they have formed an exaggerated Idea of tne antl spirit in the minds of Americans, for few of them seem to appreciate that Amer ica is there to stay." BYSTANDER WAS INNOCENT Witness to Recent Hold-Up Dis charged From Custody. J. B. Farr, who had been accused of complicity In the attempted hold-up of John Hughes last Monday evening, was yesterday discharged by Judge Hennessy, after hearing all the evidence In the case. Hughes testified that he saw three men approaching him along Willamette boule vard on the evening in question, and, fear ing a hold-up, lossened his pistol in its scabbard, but did not draw It, as he should have done. When within a few feet, two of the men pointed pistols at him and told him to throw up his hands He then fired at the one on the right, who he said was preparing to shoot h'm, but as Hughes quickly ducked his head, the bul let from the robber's pistol missed his left ear. The two men turned to run, and Hughes took a hasty shot at the middle of the second man's back, and then pro ceeded to put a bullet Into Farr's body, but the cylinder refused to work. "Stand where you, are or you're a dead man," said Hughesand "Farr exclaimed, "Mr. Hughes, don't you know me?" "I don't know anything just now," said Hughes, and he kept Farr covered with the pistol until an officer was met. Farr testified that he was walking be hind the two men, and gaining on them quite rapidly, when they met Hughes ana ordered Tilm to throw up his hands. Then the shooting took place, three shots be ing fired In less time than it takes to tell It. Farr covered his face with the lappel of his coat in his excitement, though he could not tell just why he did so. Hughes, he said, was fearfully excited, and Farr tried to explain that there was no connection between him and the high waymen. Several witnesses were on hand to prove Farr's good character, and, "as the defend- lant appeared toptelij. a- straightforward siory, tne case against mm was dis-' missed. The police have been working on the matter ever since the incident, but report nothing new In regard to it. They do not think Hughes hit either of the men who tried to rqb hlni.

Administrator Charged "With Con tempt for Obeying: Order of Pro bate Co'nrt Litigation Notes. There was a hearing before Judge Fra zer yesterday upon the order of the court directing John F. Logan and O'Day &. Tarpley to appear and show cause why they should not be punished for contempt for refusing to turn over the property of the estate of P. C. McCann, deceased, to F.C. Miller, the receiver. Miller was ap pointed receiver of the moneys and other property pursuant to escheat proceedinga filed, in behalf of the state of Oregon by Chester V. Dolph, special counsel. The estate Is valued at about $7000. There are numerous perplexing ques tions involved In this controversy. The county court removed J. S. Cooper as admlnstrator of the estate last October, and appointed John Logan as administra tor. The escheat proceedings were insti tuted between the time of the removal of Cooper and the qualification of Logan as admlnstrator. Subsequently, Judge Cake, of the county court, directed Admlnstra tor Logan to distribute the estate to the heirs. Judge Cleland, on the motion to appoint a receiver, hold that upon the fil ing of an escheat information, and until the matter is disposed of, the jurisdiction of the county court absolutely ceases, and that court has no jurisdiction to determine who the heirs are. If any, but such per sons must appear in the circuit court, which has exclusive jurisdiction, to deter mine their claims and the question to escheat. In the argument In that case, Messrs. O'Day and Tarpley, attorneys for the heirs, contended that the county court has abso lute and exclusive jurisdiction oer the question as to who were the heirs, and that court had found the persons they represented to be the heirs. This same sort bf argument, with numerous additions, was made yesterday before Judge Frazer. It was asserted that the presumption of law was In favor of the heirs; that the es tate was probated In the county court, and Judge Cake was fully satisfied who the helr3 were, and ordered the estate turned over to them. Counsel urged that they represented these heirs, and came Into the possession of the property rightfully, and nothing to the contrary has yet been shown. There was nothing to hinder the county court from acting as It did. No restraining order had been served upon them. This was the first time they had been cited to appear. John F. Logan has filed an answer set ting forth that he turned the property over to O'Day &. Tarpley, attornejs, for the heirs, In obedience to the following order of the county court, made Novem ber 3, 1899: "The court, having found that James McCann, Kate Wood and Annie Mc Donough are the brother and sisters of the deceased, P. C. McCann, and the sole helrs-at-law In the estate of P. C. Mc Cann, It Is therefore ordered and adjudged tiafcfas such they are entitled to the e tate of P. C. McCann, deceased, and P. C. Mc Cann having died intestate, said heirs are entitled to said estate, share and share alike, and John F. Logan, administrator of the estate. Is hereby ordered and directed to pay to James McCann, Kate Wood and Annie McDonough, share and share alike, the cash now In his hands, and also to deliver to the heirs 10 shares ot stock of the First National bank, of Indepen dence, Or." ' ' - Mr. Logan states that he fully obeyed this order and was discharged as admin istrator by the county court, and his bonds exonerated and held for naught. Chester V. Dolph presented the case In behalf of the receiver, and W. D. Fenton spoke on the opposing side. fc Hnwson Divorce Suit. The divorce suit of Maggie vs. Sidney Hawson was the interesting feature in Judge Cleland's court yesterday. Several witnesses will be examined this morning, when the trial Is expected to close. Th& s defendant called witnesses to prove that iie "did not Indulge excessively In Intoxicat ing liquors, and did not neglect' his busi ness, and also, to establish that the plain tiff, when she married him, nine year ago, knew he was a drinking man. Ex-Governor Moody, whose warehouse at Arlington was managed by HawsOK .from 1S91 up to the time it was sold n to -FebruaryyiSft), ,saldj-he tad no fault find. The business was not nezlected. H6 never saw Hawson, Intoxicated. Sheriff W. F. Wllcbx, of Gilliam county, testified that he had seen the defendant drink a little too much when he resided at Fossil before his marriage, and once oi twice at Arlington. The witness said th was generally in the evening. Mr. Hilton and several others testified somewhat In the same manndr. Hawson. In his own behalf and in sup port of his croSs complaint, took the witness-stand and denied that he ever pointpa a revolver at her, but said he told her he was sometimes tempted to end his own life with a revolver. He admitted the razor scene, but stated that the threat was against himself and not her. He ce nled various other charges. He testified that F. M.

Hawson said at different times he accused his wife of being untrue to him, and sometimes she Would sob herself to sleep and at other times she would pas the matter off with some remark, but she never resented the accusation. v Mrs. Hawson in rebuttal explained that the reason they did not come together was that she promised to return to her hus band If he would stop drinking; and he did not keep his promise. Probate Matters. Cora Elizabeth Walker was appointed administrator of the estate of her hus band, Reginald Robert Walker, deceased, comprising 150 acres of land in Multnomah county, valued at $1000; a farm In Benton county valued at $3500; Insurance amount ing to $5000, payable to the estate, and legacies of deceased through his mother, Sophia Walker, a3 an heir of Charles Sis sons, of Middlesex, England. The heirs are the wife and two children. Walker left a will dated July, 1895, devising all of the estate to his wife. The children are not mentioned in the will,, and it i3 therefore void "under the statute of Ore gon. Walker died suddenly recently at his residence on the Macadam road. Labbe Bros., who allege that they are creditors of the estate of Charles J. Gal lagher, deceased, to the extent of $923, have filed a petition stating that Kate Glldner, the administratrix. In her Invent ory of the estate, mentions property valued at only $100.
