1 any. First and Madison streets, were in
evidence yesterday in a jury trial before
Justice of the Peace Kraemer. when a
fuilelohP country youth, Lorin Wooy, of
Eugene, sued the Demartini Company to
recover $22-3, one-half of which "Wooley
t-ays he lost while playing "21" at. the
Demartini place, between December 7 and
December 14. Mr. Demartini insisted that
he did not run the garni, and that the real
principal Is Nick Burelback. F. Burley
testified that one of Demartinl's men asked
him to mark the cards, purposely to win
"Wooley. money. The case will be con
cluded today.
The jurors were: "W. H. Courteney, H.
Harris. F. H. Harrington and A. L. Pike.
Two other jurors were to have served,
but they were out of the city. Lawyers
Judge Bloomlleld and William ReJd repre
sented Wooley, while Lawyers A. C. Em
mons and W. J. Makelin looked after the
Demartini end. The complaint set forth
that Lorln Wooley visited Demartinl's
December S and S; that he engaged In a
game of "21" with a dealer in the employ
of the Demartini Company, and during the
progress of the game he lot $110. So ho
asked that the Demartini Company be or
dered to pay him $220. double the sum he
lost at cards in their place, as provided
by law.
In taking the witness-stand, "Wooley tes
tified that early in December before he
met tne Demartini crowd he and a part
ner soid a stHblo they conducted at Eu
gene, for $2?00. "I got half the proceeds
for my share, and with 5500 in my pockets
1 came to Portland," proceeded the wit
ness. "I went to Demartinl's place and
I'ayed 21 with a dealer there employed
by Demartini. I lost and he raked in the?
money. I must have played one week
from December 7 to December 14."
The Demartini people asserted with dig
nity that they had nothing to do with the
alleged gambling games spoken of by
"Woolly and stated that Nick Burelback
personally ran the game's, and that, in
stead of winning any money In the games,
he lost. In a sharp bit of cross-examination,
one of the Demartini witnesses ad
mitted that the drawings from the games
wont into the common fund behind the
bar.
"We will have the IVmnrtlni crowd
swearing next thnt the whole they do at
Uulr place is to attend to the bar trade,"
commented one of Wooley's lawyers, sar
castically. The surprise of the hearing came when
F. Hurley took the stand, and showed how
difficult it was for any one. not an expert,
to win any mnnoy palying "21" at De
martini's. "There Ls such a thing as
m;:rked cards," went on the witness, sig-
Jicantlj. "Demartini runs the games.

cember, as I was sick, and asked me to

kid one nijtht." Then Burley took a por
tion of a deck of cards and manipulated
tN-m with the assurance and rapidity of
a . exjwrt. He showed how easy it was
s to arrange them that he could deal a
fci-h ard to himsoif. without the victim
bfinp "on" to the deception, and he throw
on the talue several cards from a pack he
lu-'d, and It was impossible for a lay mind
to determine whether the cards came from
the top or the bottom of the pack, as it
r'-s-ed In Hurley's hand. He also showed
the jury several marked -cards. "For ex
ample." he went on: "this card" holding
up a six spot "looks to be all right. To
the casual observer, not an expert, there
are no marks on the back of the card to
g'vo ti hint as to its face value. But
without looking at the face value of this
card. I know it is a six spot." And Bur
Icy showed a peculiar white mark at the
right-hand corner on the back of the canl.
He showed other peculiar. t!nv white
haps, the greatest honor bestowed on
Oregon products at the Buffalo Exposi
tion, or any other exhibition.
The American Pomological Society com
prises all the noted horticulturists and
fruit savants, both professional and prac
tical, actual growers of the United States
and Canada. It was founded In 1S4S.
and Its first president was Marshal Plnk
ney Wilder, the veteran enthusiast in
horticulture.
Silver and bronze medals are awarded
for perfect fruits, and the llrst presi
dent left a fund of $1000 to the society,
the Income of which is used in buying
the medals. The honor was noteworthy,
not only because of the distinction which
goes with Its award, but because of the
additional fact that the Oregon display
at Buffalo amounted to but 250 plates,
while others had entered as high as 1000
plates. The names of those who con
tributed to the winning display are:

WAITERS WILL CARRY ON WAR
Not XJiNcoiirnRcd by Itccent Judicial
DccIkIiim.
The waiters are not discouraged. They
do not lament the late decision against
banners, although they do not agree with
the line of argument whereby the decision
was reached. For example, they do not
understand how the rights of a piece of
property extend to the middle of a street.
It is their purpose to delve into the ques
tion deeply by legal Investigation.
The president of the Walters' Alliance
said yesterday that the members of the
union would adopt some now method of
carrying war Into the enemy's country.
They realized that banners had served
their purpose for the present. A svstem
of picketing Is now in force. The pickets
observe what persons enter "unfair" res
taurants, and learn their names. If they
habitually patronize "unfair" establish
ments, members of the alliance will visit
them to try the effect of moral suasion.
"This -method will be very effective." said
a labor leader yesterday. "It will ac
quaint bus-ines men with the justice of
the labor side of the controversy. It will
also snow them how closely their Interests
are bound up with those of labor unions.
Flaunt a banner in the eyes of some men
and it antagonizes them. Reason wim
them and they are tractable."
The Waiters' Alliance has 200 members,
all of whom are employed. This is re
garded as somewhat remarkable for a
time wnen there Is a labor dispute. Owing
to the thriving condition of .the alliance
its members are content to make progress
slowly, since they all have work. "We
have lots of time." said one. "and can
afford to spend time In attaining our ob
ject. We are in no hurry."
There are about 0) restaurants In the
city. About 21 of these are regarded as
the leading establishments. Seven of
these have signed the union schedule, and
14 are obdurate. The oflicers of the allance
think they have succeeded remarkably
well.- "The 14 'kicking restaurants." said
one. "confess that they don't want any-

After a lingering illness, which ex
tended over several months. Margaret E.
Blackburn, wife of Rev. Alexander Black
burn, pastor of the First Baptist Church,
of this city, died yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, at the family residence, -127 Mar
ket street. Three of the six children were
at the bedside when the end came. The
funeral will be held Saturday at 2 P.
M.. from the First Baptist Church, and
the services will be conducted by Rev. C.
A, "Wooddy. D. D.
Mrs. Blackburn had been prominent in
church work ever since her marriage to
Dr. Blackburn in 1S6S. She was one of the
organizers of the Women's Baptist Home
aiission Society, and for several years
was vice-president of the organization.
In sunday school work she proved unus
ually efficient, and during Dr. Blackburn's
pastorates in Eastern fields she was par
ticularly active in this branch of church
'work. She entered into the fullest con
ception of the duties of a pastor's wife,
and was the writer of a book, "Some
Things a Pastor's Wife Can Do." She
also was author of a volume titled "Kath
erlne Conway." Mrs. Blackburn was born
In Macomb, 111.. September 11. 1B47. and
her maiden name was Margaret Eliza
beth Hall. She was educated in the pub
lic and private schools of her home town,
and afterwards attended the Phlpps
Union Seminary at Albion. N. T. Since
her residence in Portland Mrs. Blackburn
had been ill considerably, and was thus
prevented from doing as much work In
the church departments as she wished to
do. The six children who survive are:
Mrs. Walter O. Haines, of Portland; Mrs.
S. A. Smith, of Elizabeth, N. J.; George
N.. of Woodland. Cal.; Alexander M.. of
Norfolk. Conn.; John H., a member of the
graduating class at the Naval Academy,
Annapolis. Md.; Nathan B., a student In
the Portland High School. Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. Haines and Nathan B. Blackburn
were present when death came. Since
Saturday Mrs. Blackburn had been In the
family residence, where she was brought
from the country, to which she had been
taken In hope that the change might be
beneficial. While the shock of her death
has bowed the family In grfef. It was not
entirely unexpected.

"The purpose of the Lewis and Clark
Chic Improvement Association just now
is to secure enforcement of the present
city ordinances." said President F. B.
Gibson yesterday.
"There are plenty of laws, and they
will rectify most of the evils without
much recourse to new ones. By taking
this procedure we think we can enlist
the co-operation of citizens better than by
insisting upon new ordinances. Our asso
ciation proposes to show the people that
many laws are powerless simply because
they are not executed. This is not meant
as a reflection on the police department,
walk should be permitted to be torn up
in front of a. building longer than a spe
cified time, and all rubbish should be
cleared away within the time of the
building permit.
"I think a means can be devised for
keeping the police more familiar with the
city laws. I find this is greatly needed.
I suggest that the association Issue a
pamphlet containing the most Important
of the city ordinances, so that both the
police and the public may know what
they are."

PORTLAND, Feb. 20. (To the Editor.)
Many citizens are disgusted with ,the

Council in tljeir effort to Increase the li
cense for liquor dealers. I hear that some
of the Councllmen also think City Attor
and removal of obstacles and rubbish
therefrom, we shall attend to at once.
The aid of public sentiment will be court
ed to abate the nuisance of obstructions
on sidewalks In front of stores. In this
city there are no alleys, so that some
merchants, notably wholesale, have to use
the sidewalks In their business, i sug- ney Long's opinion on the legality of the
gest that the privilege be not extended so special meeting, and the ordinances In-
far as to allow goods to be displayed for
sale on the sidewalks. This would re
move the nuisance in front of such places
as grocery stores and fruit stands. Fur
ther. I would propose that all obstacles
of whatever kind, empty boxes and all,
be removed by 6 o'clock P. M. In front
of some places empty boxes remain for
months.
"It would be well to require that build

the date of their issuance and expira

would not drag on for months. No tide-

be taken with several grains of salt.
Some of the best lawyers in the city scout
the Idea of the Council entering Into ony

everywhere licenses are annulled when
ever this Is deemed advisable. As a num
ber of saloon-keepers professed to be anx

Council may accommodate them, even If
this should render It necessary for a num

Mr. Swetland said yesterday: "I have
sent to the County Court, in accordance
with the opinion of the District Attorney,
a list of supplies which the primary law
requires me to furnish Judges and clerks
of election. As the time Is necessarily
short. I have no doubt the court will call
for bids at once. In the general election
the state furnishes all needed supplies,
with the exception of ballots, envelopes
and a few incidentals. Under tho new
law the county bears the expense of the
city primary. There will be 57 polllng
places in the city to be selected by the
County Court. The law requires the Clerk
to notify the Judges and clerks appointed
by the County Court. I am required to
give 10 days' notice by publication of tho
date fixed by me as primary day, and the
notice Includes the names of Judges and
clerks, tho places where the polls will be
located, and the hours the polling-places
will be open.

Judge Cake says thaa a man will bo
sent out to select polling-places at once,
as It will take some time to cover the
whole city. Two years ago this duty was
performed by H. P. Emery, the Court
house carpenter, and he also put up the

for the primary election, and the law pro
vides that there shall be one booth for

Articles of Incorporation.
The Portland School of Domestic Scl-
Not What a
Man Says of Himself
Counts for much, and this Is good logic and applies to
every business house in Portland, and we do not believe
there is a successful firm in the city but what will say it
owes its prosperity In a great measure to its friends, and
it's a pleasure for us to acknowledge that In a large meas
ure we owe our prosperity to the many friends that have
spoken a good word here and there for us.
But What Others Say of Him
This same principle applies to every piano and organ
that's sold. We might till the columns of the dally press
full of self-praise and quote low prices, but that does not
count for much. It's what those say that have bought
your instruments, and it's what others say that have
bought a Knabe. Steck. Hardman. Fischer, Packard or
Ludwlg piano or a Mason & Hamlin. Estey, Packard or
Chicago Cottage organ that gives them the reputation of
being the best pianos and organs made. "We have the ex
clusive sale of all of these reputation-builders. All of these
lnsrturaents sold on our easy-payment plan. If de&ired.
Yours for low prices and liberal treatment.
