POLICE ON STRIKE
Rather Than Arrest Chief
They Give Up Stars.
COURTFINES HIM FORCONTEHPT
Mayor Arrlvea on the Scene, Re
leases Officer and Policemen Go
Back to Their Work at
. .. Walla Walla.
WALLA. WALLA, Wash., July 7. For
16 minutes this evening there was no
police force In the city of Walla Walla.
The chief was under arrest and ordered
committed to the city JaiL It was then
that each respective officer, rather than
take charge of his former superior, took
off his star and turned it over to the Litj
Police Judge. To save law and order
from complete rout, the Mayor hurried
to the scene and extended executive
clemency to the chief. Then the force
resumed Its stars and took up again fhe
discarded administration of office.
Chief of Police J. J. Kauffman arrested
an ex-convict named Stellinger, formerly
in the-Oregon penitentiary. The charge
-was drunk and disorderly and, after hear
ing the evidence, which le admitted to
have been strong. Police .Judge Glasford
dismissed the prisoner. Then Chief Kauff
man asked the court if he could not "ob
tain a conviction" and if the court in
tended to stand In "with thugs and gam
blers." "I fine you $5 for contempt," said the
Judgel
"Make it ten," exclaimed Kauffman,
and the obliging Justice followed his ad
vice. "Double it," said Kauffman, and it
was even as he had requested.
"I defy you and your court," shouted
the irate police chief, and then the fine
was made Vs and imprisonment for one
day in the city jail added. It was in
the attempt to execute this last mandate
that the Police Judge found himself sud
denly without a single supporter, and the
chief was enabled to walk out of the
courtroom free. The arrival of Mayor
George W. Babcock saved further
trouble.
Chief Kauffman has filed charges
against Judge Glasford, alleging conduct
in office prejudicial to the peace and
eafety of, the city. The matter will be
investigated at a special meeting of the
City Council tomorrow evening. The city
election comes July 14, and both men are
up for're-electlon.

Decimating "The Black Troop."
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The fame of "the black troop" now sta
tioned at Fort Meyer, In the vicinity of
Washington, reached the President of the
United States. He had beard of the troop,
with Its Captains and Lieutenants, former
Missourlans. prior to the visit of the dis
tinguished Frenchmen who came to Wasu
ington to participate in the unveiling of
the statue of Rochambeau. But when the
troop passed the reviewing stand and he
listened to the unstinted praise of the
ranking cavalry officer of the French
Army, his attention was arrested as it had
not been before. The daily rides on horse
back of the President have been famous
since his succession to the Presidency.
Soon after the Rochambeau unveiling he
sent word to Fort Meyer that In future
he wanted his orderly," who always ac
companies him on his daily, rides, to be
chosen from the "black troop." This was
all well enough if the President had been
less strenuous in his xerclse. Within 10
days after the .first call wastnade on the
troop for the President's orderly reports
were made to the commanding officer that
elx horses in question had been used by
the orderlies to the President. Although
mounted by experienced cavalrymen ac
customed to the care of horses and to
hard riding, the President's fl"ery thor
oughbred had completely worn out tho
animals. An indirect suggestion reached
the White House that more latitude be
given to the military officers In the se
lection of orderlies, and, for the good of
the "black troop," that the selections be
not confined to it.
NINTH WEEK OF STRIKE.
No Change In the Situation In the
Anthracite Fields.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Juiy 7. With
President Mitchell in New York and all
the other miners' leaders at Nanticpke
attending the annual convention of Dis
trict No. 1, strike headquarters was an
extremely quiet place today. The ninth
week of the suspension of anthracite
coal mining shows no change in the sit
uation, there not being the slightest in
dication that either party is ready . to
quit. The visit of the miners' chief to
New York continues to arouse interest.
No word of his movements in the me
tropolis has been received here, and there
is much speculation as to what caused
him to go there. The entire coal .belt con
tinues generally quiet, very few men con
gregating in the vicinity of tho collieries.
The large foce of coal and Iron .police
men, estimated at 3000, is kept constant
ly on duty for any emergency. Several
arrests were made in this valley of per
sons for Intimidating alleged "unfair"
workmen, but the arrests were made so
quietly as to cause no disturbance ot any
kind.
The district convention at Nantlcoke to
day disposed of much business of a rou
tine nature. About 400 delegates, repre-J
sentlng 75,000 mlneworkers, are attending
the convention, which embraces all the
territory from Forest City, 22 miles north
of Scranton, to Shlckshlnny, 16 miles
south of here. During the afternoon. Dis
trict President Duffy, of the Lehigh Val
ley District, and President Fahey, 'of
the Schuylkill territory, made brief ad
dresses, In which they urged the dele
gates to stand firm during the progress
of the strike.
Harry White, of New York, National
secretary of the Garment Workers'
Union, who is a member of the Civic
Federation's conciliation committee, ar
rived here today. Mr. White said he
came here to refer to the miners the co--operation
of organized labor. He said
labor leaders have held meetings recent
ly at which the subject was discussed,
and he was authorized to make the of
fer. Mr. White also said that several
individuals who were not connected with
organized labor in any way have inter
ested themselves in the miners' strike.
They desire, he said, to see the men win,
and they havemade a proposition to the
Civic Federation to help the mlneworkers
in a substantial way if such aid would be
of any use.
Too Many Injunctions.
CHARLESTON. W. Va., July 7. Pros
ecuting Attorney Ossenten, of Fayette
Count', was here today to see Governor
White to ascertain If something could
be done to check the Federal officers in
the enforcement of injunctions against
the striking coal miners. Ossenten re
ports a reign of terror in the mining dis
trict. He says Deputy Marshal Cunning
ham Is acting as guard for the operators
and is enforcing injunctions on every one.
He says the people are much wrought
up over the situation, as the deputy mar
shals are using their positions as Fed
eral officers to assume authority as armed
guards, and that civil Tights are made
subordinate to the deputy marshals car
rying Winchesters. The constables of
Fayette County arrested Cunningham on
a warrant from a Justice's Court, charg
ing him with affray, and because of that
arrest Cunningham arrested the con
stable on a charge of interfering with a
Federal officer and ordered him before
the United States Court.
Warrants for Strikers.
HARRISBURG. July 7. Sheriff . Relff
swore out warrants today for the arrest
of 10 strikers at Wllliamstown for incit
ing riot and interfering with his deputies
in protecting nonunion men going to and
from work In the mines at Lykens and
Wllliamstown.
The Sheriff says the situation in the re
gion Is critical, and that if there is an
other outbreak like that of last Wednes
day, when he and his deputies were as
saulted while protecting nonunion miners,
he will call on Governor Stone for protec
tion by the militia.
The Sheriff returned to the Lykens mill
at noon to assist his deputies in arresting
the strikers for whom warrants have been
issued.
i
President Mitchell' nt Nctt York.
NEW YORK, July 7. President Mitch
ell spent the day with H. M. Taylor, of
Braidwood and Coal City, III. Mr. Taylor
is a soft coal operator, and he said that
he had telegraphed Mr. Mitchell at
Wllkesbarre to meet him In New York.
He denied that their meeting "had any
thing whatever to do. with the strike of
the anthracite miners or with the strike
situation, or Tlth the approaching con
vention of the miners at Indianapolis to
decide the question of a general strike.
Ultimatum to Michigan Miners.
BAY CITY, Mich., July 7. Mining op
erators of Michigan met in this city to
day and presented an ultimatum to the
miners, notifying them, through Presi
dent Williams, that the scale submitted
at the recent joint meeting In Saginaw
must be accepted by July 12 or the agree
ment of the operators to adopt It will be
withdrawn.
Increased Expenditures.
In the last year of John Qulncy Adams'
Administration as President, tho National
expenditures of the United States were
$13,000,000. In the canvass of the Jackson
men against Mr. Adams for re-election
four years later, this expenditure was
called extravagant Twelve years later
still the cost of Government had run up
to $39,000,000, which was much harped
upon for its Increase by the Whigs ln(
their campaign against Van Buren In 1840.'
The appropriation bill for Congress the
present session carries the amount of
5925,905,2(52. Subtracting from it the Post
office appropriation and other special fea
tures, It Is reduced to $483,570,452. The
Chicago Record-Herald regards this re
mainder as a heavy Increase. It takes
the expenditure of the year 1897 as a fair
average of recent appropriations for each
year and compares It with what Is appro
priated by the present Congress for the
next year, with the following result:

Let Us Denounce Politely.
The Chicago Interior.
No man of conscience will hesitate to
say a vehement thing when it needs say
ing, but a man of conscience may be a
man of good Judgment in taking car.e not
to say even vehement things harshly. It
is poor economy to waste Influence by
engendering needless antagonisms. ' We
may not denounce sin softly, bilt in gen
eral It is unquestionably "better to de
nounce 'it politely. " - -

home yesterday morning from Everett,
where they played July 4-5, losing the
first game by a score of 6 to 3, and win

all In his power to make the club boys'
stay a pleasant one, and from what the
players have to say, he succeeded very
well.
The team arrived In Everett on the
morning of the Fourth, in a pouring rain,
which continued nearly all day. The
game was not called until 4:30, and for
this reason it was agreed to play only
seven innings.
The second game was played on the
morning of July 5, and again It was rain
ing. However, the wearers of the red
and white had become used to a slippery
ball by this time, and succeeded In win
ning a very close game.
The team shows a marked Improvement
In batting. It got eight hits the first
game, and 14 the second. Fenton and
Doblo each recelvea five, and the 12 others
were divided among the remainder of the
team.

IN CARE OF BLUECOATS.
Philadelphia Police Guard Unoccu
pied Homes of Millionaires.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Millions of dollars' worth of real and
personal property the homes of hundreds
of Philadelphia's wealthiest citizens are
now being zealously guarded by the police
of the Fifth District, the station-house of
which In located at Fifteenth and 'Locust
streets. The district embraces all territory
lying between Chestnut and South streets
and Broad street and the Schuylkill River, t
A walk along Walnut. Locust, Spruce. Pino '
and the Intersecting Btreets reveals long
rows of houses in each block boarded up
and unoccupied, the protection from fire
and theft of which is Invested in the Fifth
District bluecoats.
The responsibility of protecting these
properties, with their vast collections of
valuable furnishings and effects, la no sine
cure. The watchers must constantly be
on the alert for suspicious characters, for
the man wlth the Jimmy is always on
the lookout to do a job. Each unoccupied
house, too. Is examined each day to see
that It ha3 not been entered.
To state that there are already 1650 resi
dences In the care of the pqlice of this
district seems like overshooting the truth.
But such Is the case, and within another
month the number will probably reach
2000. Much of tho care of these properties
js assigned to Special Officers William A.
Esher and John H. Pollock, who are ter
rors In the eyes of evildoers. This pair
each Spring prepare blanks, which are sent
to every householder, requesting notice of
the length of time the house will be closed
and where the owner can be communi
cated with In an emergency. The blanks
returned are carefully gone over and lists
prepared for every block In the district,
so that Information concerning a certain
house Is always available. Many of tho
householders fall to return the blanks, and
the duty of reporting "family away" de
volves upon the officers.
A "dead line," similar to that enforced
against known criminals in the 'financial
center, which assures the arrest of all
those offending; Is In vogue In the Fifth
District. Esher and Pollock patrol the
two wards at all hours, in the hope of
running face to face with some crook
whose acquaintance they have already
made. If they do meet one of this class,
an arrest follows, and the chances are that
the prisoner will go to jail for a few days.
Suspicious persons are also carefully
watched, and many an unsuspecting per
son has been told at night that lOafilng on
the corners or near alleys Is an Injudicious
act. Despite the vigilance of the police,
thieves manage to ply their trade. Of the
19C0 houses vacated last Summer In thl3
district, six were entered and the con
tents overhauled and stolen. In all but
one Instance, however, Esher and Pollook
succeeded In effecting the arrest of the
robbers and recovering the stolen goods
for the owners.

Cut rates on pianos? You have heard of cut rates In drugs and groceries, but
cut rates on pianos how is it possible, you ask. That's just It. Before such a
thing could be effected there must have been a combination of very unusual con
ditions. In the first place. It means bujlns In large quantities getting out of the small
way of doing business. It means the cutting out of every useless and unnecessary
expense. It means the shipment of pianos wlthot hoxes, in special cars, which
saves big sums on freight charges.
Then It means the selling of pianos so excellent and satisfactory that the public
demands them.
We have accomplished just these things.
We bu for the four largest and busiest stores on the Pacific Coast one In Port
land, one In San Francisco, one In Spokane ana one In Sacramento.
We buy the best pianos that money can secure! If we- went all over the world,
with hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on pianos, it would be impossible
absolutely Impossible to get better pianos than we hae right here in Portland to
day at our Washington-street store simply because we already have the best that
money can buy Chlckerlng. Weber, Kimball. Decker, Vose there are some of
them. We have 25 other makes.
Here, you see. Is the combination. Here every condition is met. The result Is
Inevitable. We must sell more pianos than other houses and, of course, we do a
great many more. In April. May, and June we sold more pianos and organs than
any other house In the United States.
We not only sell more and better pianos, but we sell them cheaper, because of
our better facilities. The same grade of Instrument sold b- othtrs for as low as
$415, and sometimes advertised by them "as having been reduced from $500." we sell
for ab little as $2S6. and even lower. -
We not only sell more pianos, better pianos, and at lower prices, but we sell
upon the easiest terms. For Instance, you may come to our store and take your
choice of our beautiful and extensive line. Puy us 510 down and $8 per month, and
in a short time the piano Is yours. Or, If you wish to test the piano to prove that
nil we claim for It and more. Is true, we will allow you to rent any new piano, even a
Kimball, or a Weber.' You pay us the cartage and a reasonable monthly rental.
After a time. If you are satisfied with your Instrument, you may retain it. and we
vill allow you on Its purchuse price all you have paid us for cartage and rent. It
vou are dissatisfied with it. you may exchange It for another piano, anil again you
are at liberty to return it at any time, and all you will be out is the rent and cart
age. Either of these is an ideal plan for those who cannot afford or don't wish to
Duy outrignt.
