The Board of Trade had a spasm yester ay. The organization was very near unto jleath for a while and several members pad begun to sing requiems. But timely restoratives revived the flickering' life -fcpark to a vital flame. The board is all jhe better for its almost mortal experi ence, it has received a new lease of life and has emerged from the affliction Stronger than-before. "Everything is lovely," say its members. 'It turned out all right," remarked Vice President Killingsworth, who presided In the absence of President P. E. Beach. The turmoil grew out of .the question RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT BOARD OF TRADE. ess?- ? F. E. Beaca. whether to retain James M. Moore as j secretary. He was let out after a big -hubbub and (Max M. Shillock was elected, jt was the annual meeting of the board 'for election of new officers. Mr. Moore )iad sent out notices that the meeting would begin at 8 P. M. He had forgotten that the by-laws required the' session to begin at 2 P. -M. "on the second Thursday of December." But C. M. Idleman hadn't overlooked this. So at 2 P. M. he acted as a bell-wether vtoaT flock of some 30-gen-,tlemen who "butted Into" the headquar ters of the board and proceeded to hold 'the "annual meeting." Only about eight or 10 actual members were on hand. Of these. .Mr. Moore insisted only six were in good standing and qualified to "vote. But the other "disqualified" members vot ed just the same and when Mr. Moore re fused to receive Mr. Idleman's flock into the fold, the meeting promptly elected C. W. Miller secretary, who received them. The newcomers didn't have to be elected to membership, because the by-laws pro vide that anybody may join the board by isigning the roll and paying the required dues. Secretary Moore Let Out. The newcomers" captured the meeting and proceeded to choose officers. Presi dent Beach was re-elected and (Mr! Moore was kicked out, or rather he resigned be fore he was kicked out. He attempted to save himself by voting SO proxies, but his scheme was voted "out of business." Then the board adjourned to meet at 8 P. M., Mr. Moores hour. In the evening session it reconsidered Its afternoon action, but did the "same thing over again." Mr. Moore was defeated by a vote of 26 to 19. The trouble was an afterclap of the Irri gation convention. Mr. Idleman and his followers "had it in good and hard" for Mr. Moore. In that convention they had tried vainly to "do him up" and had al most wrecked the body in their attempt JAMES M. MOORE. Removed a Secretary of the Board of Trade. But they relented just as the convention was about to pile up on the rocks of Mr.. Moore's personality. However, they nursed their grudge, and yesterday, "sprung" it Their victim was no match for them, and quickly succumbed in the. maelstrom. "Snap judgment," declared Mr. Moore's, friends. Mr .Idleman. .waved . his. .hand .over. . his if ',Z?P'V flock. "Look at them," he exclaimed. "The best men Jn Portland, f don't know of any better. If bringing 30 of such men Into this "body Is going to kill it, for Heav en'.B sake let it die! These men have come in according to the by-laws. There's nothing crooked about It. It's all straight business. Revenge on Mr. Moore? Not a bit of it But we want better records and accounts In the office of the secretary." The "flock" consisted of: Major A. F. Sears, A. King Wilson, J. E. Morson, C. C. Hutchinson, C. N. Scott, W. D. Mc intosh, O. W. Rosendale, Miller Murdock, H. W. Thlelsen. E. E. Lytle. D. B. Pot ter, W. A. Laldlaw, G. M. Brown, J. C. W. Daly, Oscar Huber, H. L. Chapin, W. D. Wilkinson,- J. H. Palmer, E. A. Mid dlebrooks, Clarence H. Gllbejt, O. H. Pe terson, J. 1C Kollock. Emmet Drake, W. O. Waddell, J. B. Ryan, W. H. Grlndstaff, C. W. Miller and T. D. Rowland. Moore's Proxies Barred. Mr. Moore's attempt to use proxies was supported by Chairman Killingsworth, but the board ruled otherwise. "Then I resign," declared Mr. Moore, hotly. The chair appointed C. W. Miller tem porary secretary. Mr. "Moore in abdicat ing carried off the roll. "Hey, there!" shouted Mr. Miller after him. "Where's the roll?" After diplomatic negotiations the roll was returned The board then elected a permanent president and secretary and adjourned un til evening. , Gulnean Gets Excited. "There are more grafters in Portland to the square inch than In any city I know of," cried Thomas Gulnean excitedly at the opening of the evening session. ""And they've come into this board." Rev. G. B. Van Waters, just before Mr. THE SEW SECRETARY. Max M. Shlllock. Gulnean's explosion, had prayed "that all may work together with unanimity for the -furtherance of one purpose and ob ject," but .Mr.. Gulnea.n didn't believe in letting the other fellow make the "unani mity." "It was all snap Judgment that meeting this afternoon. I protest There was no reason for It except that some individual had an ax to. grind. Why should these gentlemen all of a sudden take so much interest in this board. - Evidently we have bumped up against some graft of the gen tlemen," and Mr. Guinean hinted at irri gation. "It's a disgrace. -The curse of this city is that a few men run the whole thing." Mr. Idleman was touched up, but grew generous and In a loud voice proposed, to set aside the proceedings of the after noon. ""That's the right spirit" exclaimed the chair, and Mr. Gulnean and Mr. Idleman shook hands. The board adjourned after adopting the resolutions approving the effort to have the National Livestock Con vention in 1904 held In Portland; com mending the proposed immigration bu reau: recommending the passage of a bill by Congress appropriating money from land sales for state schools of mines and mining. Praise for Mr. Moore. Vice-President Killingsworth said last night that Mr. Moore was entitled to a good deal of credit for his services to ..the board "He has been very faithful;" said Mr. Killingsworth, "and I think this ex pression of appreciation is due him. He has worked under many disadvantages. His efforts have helped to build up the Influence of the .organization." Mr.' Moore took things philosophically last night, He said: "My only regret is that I was forced to resign. I have contemplated engag ing in other .work for some time, -and "should 'soon have resigned anyhow. J took f" ( ' " hold of the board when it had no money and little influence, and I think my ef forts have tended to its lmprovementa I am quite content to leave and my only regret is that I am forced out" CHINESE DEN RAIDED. Nineteen Fan-Tan ' Gamblers Taken nnd 203 Seized. Nineteen Chinamen and $263 15 in money were, captured by Policemen Roberts and Patton as the result of a raid last night at a Chinese gambling-'house on Second street near Oak, within a stone's throw of the police station. The police have been trying for some time past to effect an entrance to the house, at a time when play was progress ing, but the chance did not come until about 8 o'clock last night, when Roberts and Patton observed a Chinaman slink along a dimly-lighted passage leading to the room where an exciting fan-tan game was in progress, and they walked with soft-footed tread after him. The lookout man only saw his fellow countryman, and when the policemen emerged, the look out man gave a yell. But he did not get an opportunity to shut the heavy door, and the next moment the police were among the excited Chinamen; who wtfre mostly standing around the fan-tan table. , All visible gambling Implements were seized, also the contents of the "kitty." The prisoners were conveyed to the po lice station, where the dealer, Chlng Yuen, was released on ?100 bail, while the other 18 furnished $50 bail each for their appearance at the Municipal Court CROWDS AT G.

SHOWING HAtJPTS PROPOSED JETTY. ENGINEERS TO DECIDE PLAN FOR BAR IMPROVEMENT MAY BE ADOPTED THIS MONTH. " Board Is Divided Upon-Proposal of Lewis M. Haupt- f or-a. Reaction.' Jetty. " - The Government board of engineers which will decide upon a plan for improv ing the Columbia bar Is now in ses sion at Washington. It met at New York November 14 to consider a proposal of Lewis M. Haupt to built a reaction breakwater on the bar. The board ad journed soonafter to inspect Aransas Eass, Texas, 'where Mr. Haupt says his jetty has been a success. From private sources of information It is learned that the board is divided in its opinion of the efficacy of the Haupt jetty. Mr. Haupt has written the following let ter from Philadelphia to The Oregonian .further describing his plans: "It has been authoritatively stated that the worst grade the railroads of your state have to contend with Is the bar which obstructs the mouth of the Colum bla River, causing serious delays to the shlpments of your products-. This Is un- doubtedly true, and it has long been an interesting problem to open the channel so as to reduce this gradient to zero. "It is not necessary to review past his- tory, which is so well konwn to your business community; but a few words of encouragement may be apropos at this time. The Oregonian of October 3 and 5 contained some illustrations showing a plan for the opening of the mouth"" and the fixing of the channel by natural forces, but did not sta)te the evidence upon which the predicted results were based, so that it may be pertinent to sub mit this evidence in the form of a photo- graph showing the location, curvature, depths, breadth and length of the chan nels which the river, even when divided by middle grounds, is able to create and maintain, for such an exhibit is Irrefut able. "Extending the Investigation therefore to the site of" Astoria It .will be seen that there are two well-defined channels, hav ing depths varying from 30 to 100 feet separated by a bar which is too shallow BliailUVV for navigation, being bare even at high water at Desdemona shoal, and having only from 4 to 12 feet of water for over four miles of its fength. It should be noted also that the deepest water is at the points where the tidal currents meet with some resistance which changes their direction and causes them to flow In curves whose radii are approximately Ave miles," maintaining the depth of over 50 feet for between seven and eight miles. The most striking example of this is the reaction produced by Point Elllce, where the depth reaches 100 feet arid a counter scarp Is thrown up abreast of It which canalizes the channel perfectly. Another Instance Is found extending from Astoria to Point Adams, but In a less degree. "These are admirable Illustrations of the results of the reaction of the banks upon the currents, arid are precisely what the reaction breakwater Is designed to compllsh when properly placed across the crest of the bar extending from deep water Inside to deep water outside. It, however will have the advantage of re- reiving me juiiil uisuiiai B ui liiese umieu currents to counteract the waves and drift, and will create such a region of activity that no 'drift can lodge therein. The local reaction thus created will cause the material now obstructing the channel to be scoured out and be thrown across to the north spit, where the waves and littoral currents "will again attack and carry it along shore as though no breach had occurred In the continuity of the coast line. "As every harbor inlet has its special local conditions, the solution must be worked out with reference to them, and what .may be successful at one point may prove to be a failure at another. Be . cause the Golden Gate has Its bar at a greater depth and farther out Is no cri terion for the Columbia problem, as the amount and direction of the shore drift, which is the principal factor In bar build ing, Is quite different, so that the ef fluent currents at San Francisco have .less work to do. The Columbia bar is deeper when the river Is in flood, even though it Is they more heavily charged with sediment, showing that the river silt Is of less importance than the littoral drift from which the crossing on the bar must be defended by a, high-water struc ture, strong enough to resist the full dis charge of the river and breakers, and pro tected from undermining by a substantial apron along its Inner face, as was done at Aransas Pass, where the work has been remarkably permanent "The design which has been submitted for the Improvement of this entrance will be found to be based upon a careful analy sis of the available natural force which will be utilized to create and maintain the channel, instead of upon an attempt to remove the obstruction by mechanical de vices which would be enormously ex pensive. If at all practicable. The effort to remove the bar by projecting the con centrated discharge of the river upon Its Inner slope hag been tried without suc cess, and a repetition of the same by the use. of two jetties would merely repeat the experience, at more .than, twice the cost and with the same ultimate result The bar wouldelude the jetties, and no dredging would be possible beyond them. "This solution is therefore offered In the Arm belief that it will accomplish all that is predicted for it, as shown by the chan nels which exist today in consequence of the reaction, not velocity, created in the bed of the streahi. . "LEWIS M. HAUPT." ; COMING ATTRACTIONS. Scond Symphony Concert. , , 1 At the second symphony concert, to be given Tuesday evening, December 9, at the Marquam Grand Theater, Miss Eliza beth Patterson Sawyers will play several numbers. Miss Sawyers, who Is a sister of Mrs. Fletcher Linn, of this city, Is a pupil of Dreyschock, of Berlin, and also of Oscar Ralf, and has had great suc cess, both as a teacher and soloist The Indianapolis Sentinel says of her: "Miss "Sawyers Is possessed of a splendid tech nical equipment, displays much enthusi asm In performance, and gave striking demonstration of her musical taste, poetic sentiment and great breadth of Interpre tation." The box office will open for subscribers Saturday morning. "Fiddle-Dee-Dee" Makes Hit. "Flddle-Dee-Deo," Webber & Field's funny burlesque, which is playing this week at the Marquam Grand Theater, Is meeting with the success it well de- serves. The company Is playing at popu- lar prices, -something out of the ordinary for the Marquam, and people are taking j advantage of it and enjoying this clever company, which is composed of a bevy of pretty girls, who can both dance and sing. There is not a dull moment in the play, "something doing" all the time. , Miss Jessie Moore and Harry Cashman are making a decided hit in their "skit,'-' ; "The Opera," and the burlesque on the sextette from " Ulorodora is simply "It. If you want thoroughly to enjoy your self, forget your troubles and drive dull care away, be sure and see "Flddle-Dee-Dee."

"Shall We Forgive Her?" will be the offering at the Baker Theater all next week starting with Sunday matinee. A problem play, dealing with the old and ever new question of sex vs. sex, as does this splendid play, may Invariably be depended upon to draw immense houses despite the expression which Is often heard, that the modern theater patron does not care to be forced Into thinking ! hi. Ti.Vlot lc anon In mlmlm-r T to nyti , pretend we do not want the p,aywright to hold u thc mlrror to that sIde of numan nature that Is the lcast plca8Bnt and narrows the dcepest sympathies of I tfiQ soul After witnessing a play like "Shall Wo Forgive Her?" the conclusion of the aver age playgoer Is that It Is a play of more than ordinary merit. It calls for the sterner qualities that are In man and woman in this battle, of human sym pathies with that Puritanical sense of the eternal fitness of things. There is some thing about this splendid domestic drama which brlng3 forcibly to mind that chap ter In "Tess" "The Woman Pays" and so she does. Such a well-constructed drama as "Shall We Forgive Her?" when Interpreted by such competent artists as those compris ing the Nelll Stock Company and staged as well as the production at the Baker next week will be can meet with only the highest praise from those who witness It Coming to Cordray's. It is only a year but It seems longer since the managers first began to talk about putting on "A Little Outcast" So much has been said about it, its magnifi cent settings, startling electrical effects, etc., that local theater-goers will be grat ified to know that it will be presented at Cordray's Theater for one week-, begin ning with a matinee -Sunday, December 7. The story is an -old one, always new, of love and devotion, but given in an en tirely new way, and brimful of those touches of nature which make all the world akin. Laughter and tears are close together, and there Is not one dull mo ment In the four great acts of the pro duction. The company has a strong cast, and the production is the talk of the sea son. The usual ladies' and children's matlneo will be given Saturday. Miss Sonic to Give Recital. Marie A. S.
