lish Gray Birds.
E. House yesterday received a cable
pram from Dresden, Germany, Inform
ing him that 100 pairs of gray English
partridges had been shipped on the Ham
burg line of steamers for New Xork en
route to this city. The birds will be
brought from New York to Portland by
"Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, and should
arrive here In about two weeks. The
men who ordered these birds have been
waiting for about two weeks for the
cablegram announcing the shipment, as
they had been informed by mail that
they might be shipped December 2, and
certainly on the 9th. but some delay
occurred in getting the birds ready for
shipment as they are all wild, having
3ust been netted In the fields.

Boaton Lyrics In Grand Opera.
Charles Harkinson, business manager
of the Boston Lyric Opera Company, ar
rived in Portland Saturday in advance of
his organization, which plays an engage
ment at Cordrays early in January.
"The new artists which Colonel Thomp
son has added to his forces," said he yes
terday, "have certainly created a furore
wherever they have appeared. I refer to
the great prima donna contralto,
Signorlna Stefena Collomalni, the tenor
Russo, and the baritone, Alessandroni.
"They joined us in I)s Angeles, where
we did the largest business in the his
tory of the theater. I went from Los An
geles to San TJIego. San Bernardino gave
a guarantee of 51000 for one night Riv
erside and Redlands the same, while Sac
ramento put up $1400 for one night and
matinee of "Carmen," and every seat In
the Alhambra Theater. San Francisco,
when Collamalnl and the Boston Lyrics
opened last night, was sold last Friday.
"Portland Is to have a treat in the
coming appearance of Collamalnl that Is
but rarely offered them. She is undoubt
edly the greatest Carmen that has ever
sang the part. The press everywhere
declares her to be superior to Calve, De
Lussan. Hauck, or any of the other great
stars who have played the role. She is a
wonder superb, grand yes, majestic; her
art Is marvelous. Russo, who Is well
known in Portland, sings Bon Jose, and
needless to say, sings it grandly, while
Alessandroni as the toreador will be a
revelation. The rest of the characters
are sung by the members of the Boston
Lyrics. Collamalnl will sing Carmen,
Azcuena In n Trovatore, and Mlgnon,
during the Portland engagement."

MANY THUGS; FEW POLICE j
FORCE IS TOO SMALL FOR PORT
LAND'S NEEDS.
City Cannot Be Properlr Patrolled
by Present Xnmber of Officers
All Working: Hard.
The prevalence of highway robbers in
and around Portland, and the Inability of
the small police force to detect and ar
rest the robbers, are becoming matters of
general comment.
To an Oregonlan reporter Chief of
Police McLauchlan said yesterday:
"Do I think that highway robberies are
Increasing? No. In every large city there
Is a certain amount of that sort of thing.
"We have them every year."
"Why are there so many hold-up cases,
just now, and how do you explain the
fact that the robbers have not been ar
rested, so far?"
"Because of the inadequate number of
policemen In Portland's police depart
ment." replied the Chief. "To police the
city properly, we ought to have at least
double the number of officers we have
at present."
"We have men specially detailed and
are doing the best we can with the men
at our disposal. The robbers will be
caught; never fear. Naturally we do not
make our plans public."
That was all the Chief would say about
the matter. However, another official of
the police department was Interviewed,
and he said:
"The reason hold-up men have not been
arrested yet, Is because we have too few
policemen In Portland. Those responsible
for cutting the police force in two as
they recently did, are responsible for the
prevalence of hold-up cases, and the
growth of the hoodlum element. Those
citizens who think they do not have suffi
cient police protection, should not blame
the police. Blame the men who reduced
the police force In numbers.
"Otoe remedy would be to give to the
police department all the fines collected
In the Police court, aoout 4wu per montn.
which, with the money raised In the or
dinary way by taxation, would furnish
a sum sufficient to pay double the number
of policemen we have now. Every police
official Is overtaxed at present. The Chief
is on duty 15 hours a day, usually, and
the two captains work 12 hours each.
That Is too long. We ought to have a
third captain. As for hold-ups, they are
mostly occurring through the tough ele
ment that lost employment at the com
pletion of the Cascade tunnel. There are
more hold-ups In Seattle than In Port
land and they have 25 more policemen.
In Portland, last year, one hold-up man
was arrested and got 14 years' Imprison
ment, and another got eight years. Two
years ago we arrested about nine of these
men and they cot six to 20 years each.
The boy hoodlums will be arrested and
sent to jail regardless, this time, of the
fact that they are boys. Their parents
can't save them, any more. Too many
windows have been smashed on the East
Side."
Stnte Division Xot Timely.
Antelope Herald.
Hen. John Mlnto, In a letter to the
Statesman, again raises the question ot
the division of Oregon Into two states,
the Cascade Mountains forming a natu
ral boundary Hne. There are a great
many attractive features to such a plan,
and It seems not unlikely that it would
meet with much favor, especially In tho
Eastern portion of the state. Portland
Is the market and trading point of a large
portion of Eastern Oregon, and will al
ways be, but beyond these commercial
interest? there Is no community of in
terests between the two sections ot the
state. Their climates are different; their
Industries differ widely; and the wise
ones say there is even a marked differ
ence In the temperament and disposition
of the Inhabitants of the two localities.
The present controversy over the ques
tion of the propriety of the scalp-bounty
iJaw very aptly Illustrates the dlfferenco

between the Interests of the two sections

It Is probably a little early for the se

sooner or later the question will come
before the people of the state, and on thts

made for a division.
COMMERCIAL CLUB BILLIARDS
Dr. Miller Wins Another Game and

There has been little change In the score
of the billiard and pool tournaments at
the Commercial Club since last reported,
as very few games were played last week.
Following are the billiard scores, which
are practically the same, with the excep

Mnltnomnh Veterans' Association.
John E. Mayo, president of the Mult
nomah Veteran Soldiers and Sailors' As
sociation, will call a meeting of the or
ganization after the holidays for the elec
tion ot officers and for reorganization. It
is felt that the organization should be
under the control of the Portland G. A. R.
posts. At the start It Included the Mex
ican. Indian and Spanish War veterans,
but this would not work. This was shown
at the last reunion held at Hawthorne
Springs. Veterans of all these wars will
not fuse, and the result was a partial
failure. Only members of the G. A. R.
posts and relief corps took any part or
manifested Interest. It is desired to model
the association after those of other places
and put It under the management of the
local posts. Each post In the city will
be given a share In its management, and
at the reunions each post and the
Woman's Relief Corps of the city will
be given one day on the programme.
Pelton Brothers drove a lot of hogs to
Gold Hill Monday, 104 in number, which
averaged 215 pounds each. The hogs
wero bought by Mr. Hanan, of Roseburg,
who received them at Gold Hill ana
shipped them to San Francisco. Mr.
Pelton kept about 70 head of his largest
hogs, which he will make Into bacon.
He butchered 40 of them Tuesday.

NO FEES FOR CONSTABLES
W'UEttE SALARY LAW
AMEXD3IEXT.
XEEDS
Connty Ought Xot to Pay for Services
Rendered By These Officers
to Litigants.
The law placing the Constables and
Justices of the Peace of Multnomah
County on salaries instead of fees was
passed In 1S35, and has worked satisfac
torily so far as the Justices are con
cerned, but not so as to the Constables.
The law regarding the latter officers
was not well drawn, and does not pro
vide for the collection, as formerly, of
fees, and the payment of the same into
the County Treasury. The object of the
change was to save the large amount,
of fees which the county had to pay tn
criminal cases, which If the occurrence
was inside of the city limits could havb
been handled In the Municipal Court.
But under the old fee system the Justice
Court, as long as there was money In
It, drummed up all of the criminal busi
ness they could, and the law was changed
to put an end to this practice.
The new statute very properly pro
vides for the continuance in force of the
fees In civil cases previously collected
by Justices, and the payment of the samo
to the County Treasurer. In the case of
Constable, either by Inadvertence, design,
or lack of knowledge, the continuance
In operation of the Constable's fees, and
the requirement of their surrender 'to
the County Treasurer was omitted.
Relative to the office of Constable the
statute provides only:
"The Constables In all cities of 50,000
Inhabitants shall receive an annual salary
of $1500, which shall be in full for all
services or duties performed by said Con
stables, and no other fees, commissions
or compensation whatever shall be al
lowed or received by them."
Now. It certainly will not be seriously
argued by anybody that a Constable
should travel all over Multnomah County
serving papers from litigants, and the
county receive no money for the work.
Under such circumstances the county
would gain nothing under the new law,
which required It to pay the Constables
salaries. There are two Constables, one
on each side of the river. Their salaries
aggregate J3000, and on the West Side the
County Commissioners employ a Deputy
Sheriff to assist the Constable and pay
him 5900 per year. This makes alto
gether 53900.
The former Constables fees were as
follows:
"For serving a summons, order, writ
or process, 60 cents.
"For serving a subpena. Including the
copy and return, 25 cents.
"For summoning a Jury, Jl.
"For taking an undertaking or bond, $1;
"For advertising and selling prop
erty. 52.
"For advertising property without sell
ing.. 5L
"For keeping property, in cases where
a keeper is required, 2 per day of 24
hours or less.
"For return of an execution or sum
mons, where nolevy for service is made,
50 cents.
"Percentage on all sums collected on
execution .and paid over to Justice, 5 pet
centum." The advocates of cheap litigation will
probably oppose a bill providing these
fee-, but such a law should be passed,
nevertheless. The fees were collected for
years when pocketed by the Constables,
and there was no reason why they should
have bten abolished when the county as
sumed the responsibility of paying ths
Constables salaries. The new law was
not passed In the interest of litigants,
but, as stated, to do away with having
to pay fees in criminal cases to Justices
and Constables In criminal cases. The
county might as well have continued to
pay the Constables fees In criminal cases,
and been no worse off than it is novt,
since the fees In civil cases were re
pealed. If the county pays Constables
to serve papers, etc.. In civil cases It
will be doing something never done be
fore in the history of the state. Ir
litigants could pay when the Constable
got the money, they ought now to pay
fees for the benefit of the county.
Enough money can be taken In to pay
the Constables' salaries. The law per
taining to Justice Courts also might bo
amended to prevent persons residing
within the city limits being sued through
collection agencies or attorneys doing
business In the city, in outside courts,
duch as Powell's Valley.
JEWISH FEAST OF LIGHTS.
Most Characteristic Festival of the
Year Began Last Xlfrht.
The Chanuckah celebration of the Jews
began last night at Temple Beth-Israel
with a very beautiful and impressive serv
ice. In which about 200 children took an
active part. This is the Feast of Lights,
a very joyous occasion, and the most
characteristic festival of the entire Jew
ish year, continuing eight days. An im
portant feature of the opening service last
night was the kindling of lamps. Dr.
Wise lighted the eight candles, one by one,
by meens of the Shammas, having first
uttered the traditional benediction In He
brew, which was repeated by the 200 chil
dren iu English, as follows:
"Blessed art thou, O xjrd, our God,
King of the Universe, who has sanctified
us by Uiy commandments, and commanded
us to kindle the lights of Chanuckah."
The custom Is for each child to receive
a Menorah and eight candles. These are
taken to their homes. One of them, is
lighted by means of the Shammas, the
first night; another the second night, and
so on till on the eighth day, the entire
eight candles are burning. This is in
commemoration of the rededlcation of the
temple at Jerusalem and rekindling of
the traditional llchfthat burns day and
night before the Holy of Holies. About
175 B. C, Antlochus Epiphanes, King of
Syria, had Invaded Judea and attempted
to force the Jews to renounce their al
legiance to God and accept the religion
of Syria, which had by that time become
Eellenlzed. Terrible persecution

lowed, and the temple at Jerusalem was
defiled. The Jews were compelled to hide
themselves In caves, where they were
burned In large numbers. Meanwhile
Afattathlas had aroused the Jews to re
volt against this unjust tyranny and his
son, the famous Judas Macabaeus, a hero
of matchless courage, by his 'brilliant
talent for strategy, and his fine general-'
ship won the day against overwhelming
odds. The temple, which had been de
filed by the bldod of swine,' Introduced
even Into the Holy of Holies, was puri
fied, and the lamp rekindled. It Is in
commemoration of this taost heroic and
tragic episode in the history of the Jews
that the Feast of the Lights is observed
each year on the 25th day of Klslev.
The musical service last evening was
specially Interesting, an Important feature
being a vocal solo by Miss Rose Loewen
berg, "Glory Be to God In the Highest."
Her rich contralto toned, deliclously deep
and full, rang out through the spacidus
auditorium with alluring sweetness. The
quality of Miss Lroewenberg's voice is
characterized by a deep-throated, enthrall
ing beauty of tone that nover falls to de
light. The children of the congregation, under
the direction of Miss Zerllna Loewenberg,
gave several hymns with remarkably fine
effect, showing careful and intelligent
training. They sang with more vigor
and precision than usually characterizes
the work of a chorus of young children.
The choir gavea very beautiful anthem
by Tours, and a "Jubilate," hy Schnecker,
which contained a brief but charming so
prano solo by Mrs. Bauer.
A strong and stirring address was made
by D. Soils Cohen, In which he advocated
with striking power the brotherhood of

of the congregation In comforting- -and
succoring the oppressed, and uplifting hu

talk on the spirit of the Maccabaean he
roism, and the privilege that Is granted
each Jew today, not of dying, but (what Is
even grander and nobler In achievement)
of living for Israel, and passing on the
torch for the enlightenment of all man

"Work on East Grant street, which is
under Improvement from. East Sixth to
East Twelfth, has come to a standstill
on account of the rains. The street is
graded all the way through and side
walks are completed, but no gravel has
been put on nor can be put on until the
street Is rolled. Under the contract the
surface must be rolled before the gravel
courses are put on, but this cannot now
be done. The street Is saturated with
water, and It would be Impossible to pull
a roller over the surface. The contrac

work can go ahead.

to specify any qualifications of the Jus
tice of the Peace. Any person is compe
tent so long as he can vote, whether he
can read and write or not. If a justice,
In issuing process, is ignorant of the law
of pleadings and makes mistakes, a
lawyer can come Into court and have
the proceedings thrown out on a tech
nical point, apparently, hut in reality, on
the point of "Jack of knowledge of the
court." This is not as it should be. If
the rules governing pleading In the Cir
cuit Court are to be made compulsory
in the Justice Court, the qualifications of
a Justice of the Peace should be that he
is an admitted and practicing attorney.

Improvements at the Daby Home.
Some needed improvements are to fie
made at the Baby Home, at "Waverly, In
cluding fencing and a new barn, which
will cost about ?200. A hospital building
is also a great necessity for the Institu
tion and the friends are hopeful that it
can be had .next year. As it is at pres
ent it is almost impossible to stamp out
a contagious disease when once it is start
ed In the Home. The sick cannot be sep
arated from the well, and when a con
tagious disease gets started It generally
runs Its course before it can be stopped.
With a small separate hospital building
the sick could be quarantined.
