THE MORNESG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBKUART 11, , 1903,
IGNORES THE POLICE
District Attorney and the
Chinese Games.
CONSTABLE MADE THE RAIDS
31r. Mannlne Announces Ills Deter
mination to Enforce Laws Against
Celestluls ns IVell a. White
Gambler.
Whether District Attorney Manning
thinks that the iolice authorities are not
sincere in their stand against gambling,
and do not want to stop the Chinese
games, or whether he thinks that it Is his
duty to assist the Police Department in
enforcing the laws Is a topic of much
discussion among the oUicers of the law.
Several days ago Mr. Manning visited
Chief of Police Hunt and told him that
he meant to have Chinese gambling
stopped as completely as the games of
chance were stopped among the white
people, and that he was going to make
complaints against several houses where
he knew that games were conducted.
"I will serve any complaint that you
bring to me, and will get all of the evi
dence that 1 can to convict the offenders,"
was the declaration of the Chief at that
time. Monday night the raid was
made by Constable Jackson and his dep
uties. The District Attorney's action in
calling upon the Constable to make the
raids instead of the police caused some
comment, but, when it was learned that
he also Intended to try the cases in Jus
tice Reld's Court, instead of the Tollce
Court, many expressions of surprise were
heard.
District Attorney Manning, when asked
for an explanation of the matter, replied:
The cases can be tried in one court as
well as another, and as the Constable
made the arrests, they were taken to the
Justice Court. The reason that I had the
Constable make the arrest is because he
knew something of some of the games,
and will be able to give good evidence
when the trial comes off." Mr. Manning
says that he has taken a determined stand
against Chinese gambling, and that he
will see that it is stopped.
"I believe that gambling should be al
lowed to go on through a system of
monthly fines." said he. "That was the
policy of Mr. Chamberlain, and I Intend to
follow up his policy as closely as I can.
He started the fine system once, and with
in a few 'nonths several thpusand dollars
were paid into the City Treasury. That
was called a public graft, and the thing
was changed Into a private graft. The
white people are not allowed to gamble,
and there is no reason why the Chinese
snortd be allowed to conduct their games.
White people go into their places of busi
ness and play their money. The Chinese
games have never been stopped. Every
form of game that Is known to them has
been running all of the time, and has not'
been stopped even for a short time."
"Were the. lotteries not stopped?" he
was asked.
"None of the Chinese games have been
stopped." said he. "They have been run
ning full blast, but I am determined that
ey will be stopped as completely as the
white games were stopped."
"I offered to assist Mr. Manning In his
fight against the Chinese games," said
Chief Hunt, "and the offer still stands
good. Any time that he wants me to
serve a complaint for him, he will find me
ready. He held a conference with roe sev
eral days ago. and said that he intended
to make complaints against several of the
Chinese gambling-houses. General Bcebe
and Slg Slchel, two members of the Police
Commission, were present. I told him at
that time that I would be glad to assist
him In any way that I could, and that' I
would sene any of his complaints against
Chinese."
"Would you arrest them if a complaint
was not made?" the Chief was asked.
"There is no use to make an arrest un
less there Is some chance of conviction,"
replied the Chief. "Every time that there
seems to be evidence to warrant an at
tempt at conviction. I place them under
arrest. Just a few days ago I placed two
of them under arrest, and they were con
victed in the Police Court. They will
come up for sentence tomorrow. I be
lieve that the District Attorney and the
police should work hand in hand, and am
glad to see Mr. Manning has taken the
matter up."
PROMISE OF A SCANDAL
State Capitol Commission Has a
Sleeting: at Olympia.
OLYMFIA, Wash.. Feb. 10. (Special.)
The State Capitol Commission at a meet
ing called today held back from the esti
mates of the contractors on the Cap!
ttol annex over $16,123 at the request of
the American Bridge Company and an
other subcontracting company, the former
being in charge of the steel roof con
struction and the latter the construction
of expanded metal flooring.
There Is a tale back of this action by
the commission that promises to furnish
come sensational developments bordering
c-n scandal In the suit brought by the Goss ,
Construction Company against the Cap
itol Commission for twenty odd thousand
dollars in extras; and which suit is now
In progrers of trial.
The primary cause for holding back the
J1C.000 on the principal contractor was
the allegation of the subcontractors that
they believed they would not receive the
money due them if the amount of the.r
estimates for work and 'material fur
nished were paid to the Goss Construction
Company. The commission has already
allowed the Goss people $GO0O for expand
ed metal fioorlrg. and the subcontractors
who put In this flooring allege that they
have received but $2000 of the amount.
Both subcontractors have now taken ad
vantage of a clause In the contract be
tween the Goss Construction Company
and the Opltol Commission which pro
vides that any person or firm furnishing
the contractor material or labor may ap
ply for and secure the retention by tho
"commission of any sums in dispute be
tween the contractor and such persons or
firms.
The cause on the part of the American
Bridge Company and the expanded metal
people for -the beller that they will not
receive their Just claims. Is asserted by
them to be based on an attempt made
by the Goss Company to force them to
furnish' evidence in behalf of the Goss
Company In the legal action against the
state above referred to. The suit brought
by the Goss Construction Company hinges
largely on its ability to prove that the
plans of the architect, W. A. Ritchie, are
defective. The company It is alleged, has
written to both the subcontracting com
panies, asking that they furnish witnesses
who will testify that the architect's plans
in the matter of specifications for the ma
terial furnished by such subcontractors
were defective, and that they were the
cause of the delay In the shipment of the
roof trusses by the American Bridge Com
pany from Pittsburg. As an inducement
for furnishing this testimony these lat-
ter,.tt is alleged, held out the promise that
the allowances for work and material fur
nished would be made early and would be
liberal, and also contained the Intima
tion that if such testimony was not forth
coming the amounts due would be held
back.
These matters were under consideration
by the Capitol Commission today, and
were fully discussed. That the commis
sion. Is satisfied as to the truth of the
charges is indicated by the fact that they
refused to allow the. Goss Construction
Company's estimate of $10,113 on steel
roofing and $3000 for flooring. These
amounts will be held out until the con
tractors and subcontractors can reach an
agreement as to which of the two sums
shall be turned over to them.
In addition the attorneys for the state
In the Goes suit Intend to secure copies
of the letters In question and use them
as evidence in the case. Employes of the
expanded metal people have already given
testimony derogatory to the state's case,
and an effort will be made to show that
this testimony was Induced under threats
and the actual holding back of $1000 due
them.
ARIZONA TO AID THE FAIR
People of Nevada Are Also Anxious
for Representation In 11)05.
PHOENIX, Arlz.7Feb. 10.-Speclal.)
Governor Brodie. of Arizona, expresses
admiration for the ambition of the State
of Oregon in taking the initiative for the
Coast and Oriental Fair. He said today
that it wac his conviction upon hearing
what had already been accomplished
toward the project that it would be a
great thing for the North Pacific Coast
and the West generally, and would con
fer permanent benefits to the West. The
Governor is favorable to an appropriation,
and will make some recommendation
shortly.
Speaker Powhti. of the House of Dele
gates, has arranged for a hearing for me
before the Legislative Assembly In a com
mittee of the whole 'tomorrow. THe
Speaker thinks we may get $3000 or $10,000
for the Arizona state display at Portland,
and some members believe more should
be diverted from the $30,000 appropriation
which the territory made tor St- Louis
some time aso.
As evidence the people of the territory
arc wide awake to the advantages of ex
ploitation through the Exposition, the
Legislature authorized an Issue of bonds
to provide for the purpose. Arizona's dis
play will surely be among the best in 1903.
Earnest work in promoting official inter
cut In the centennial in what mlsht be
thought an unprofitable region meets with
encouragement. Lewis and Clark litera
ture command! pleased attention.
Among tht- hundreds I have met many
emphasize on our Oriental features, wMcn,
for the tourist and pleasure-seeker, will
enforce a full attendance from that stand
point, and the argument which 1 advance
that the importance of the West Coast
Interests and industries as a whole are
fully as Important to us as to St. Louis
is not denied anywhere.
As an Inducement to settle the West it
!s conceded there Is nothing better.
Among the conflicting Interests at each
state capital it is something to secure
agreement on the promotion of a state's
Interest as a whole.
The topic of Lewis and Clark is made
vitally Interesting through the willing
co-operation of the newspapers. Nevada,
which is Just r.ow entering upona fresh
lease of prosperity, has voted to incorpor
ate in the fair bill i provision to send her
mineral display from St. Louis to Port
land. If the appropriation of $3000 docs
not get through this session, it will be
easy to get $10,000 In January. 1903.
the centennial hold-over Legislators as
sured me. The House at Carson City fa
vored dividing half with St. Loub. but
the Senators fought it. Upon the eve of
my leaving Carson City the bill, carrying
$20,000, was cut to $10,000. The outcome
Is yet to bo heard.
In these appropriation matters each
state prides Itself on doing as fairly well
as its neighbor. Commercial organiza
tions are an excellent factor in promoting
practical Influence in favor of state dis
plays. In this connection disappointment Is
felt over California's proposed appropria
tion. The work of promotion now under
way is not a day too soon.. And will pave
the way for larger additions later.

Xcrrcll, Chief of Geological Survey,,
Tells of Irrigation Plans.
BAKER CITY. Or.. Feb. 10. A letter
has been jecelved by F. L. Moore, of this
city, from F. H. Newell, Chief Engineer
of the United States Geological Survey,
at AVashlngton, which is of considerable
importance to all of the arid land states
that arc expecting Government'aid in the
matter of Irrigation. The letter In ques
tion wad called forth by a letter which
was forwarded to the Secretary, of the
Interior in regard to various Irrigation
schemes in this county, formulated by the
Baker County Irrigation Association. Mr.
Newell says:
"The suggestion was made and repeated
in the newspapers that, to serve as guide
or suggestion. It would be desirable for
the people of Oregon to unite as in other
states, and call to the attention of the
Honorable Secretary of the Interior, cer
tain Important projects, which, in their
opinion, were worthy of consideration;
pointing out the one or two In the state,
which, from all the facts, might be con
sidered as of prominent importance.
"Thl- course was suggested In order to
put a. stop. If possible, to the flood of
letters, petitions and requests from all
ports of the country, and to slfl out the
few in each state which the citizens of
the state themselves believe to be of most
Importance. The facts which are dis
cussed are not those as to the needs of
any community or locality, but simply as
to whether there is ample water supply,
whether lands are of such character that
they can be Irrigated, and the cost of irri
gation refunded to the Treasury."
This version of the department's atti
tude In regard to Government aid of irri
gation .In the arid states upsets a number
of well-laid plans, and Is directly opposed
to the action of the Oregon State Irriga
tion Convention at Portland, last Novem
ber, when, acting as they supposed In
harmony with the wishes of Mr. Newell,
th'5 delegation refused to commend any
particular Irrigation scheme to the de
partment, but left the matter for each
county to make such representations as
might seem desirable. In closing his let
ter, Mr. Newell asks If it Is possible for
the citizens of Baker County to get to
gether with those of other counties and
determine upon which project In Oregon
they desire to unite. t
German Kxhlbit at St. Louis.
.BERLIN. Feb. 10. The .conference of
representatives of the agricultural depart
ments of all Germany, called by the Ger
man Agricultural Society, met today.
Herr Dewald, the Commissioner of Ger
many to the St Louis Exposition, ex
plained the plans of the fair. The confer
ence passed a resolution to the effect that
it was In the interest of German agricul
ture to make the fullest possible repre
sentation at the fair, and advocated that
the empire and the individual states ap
propriate money for exhibits.
Riotous Strikers Rnle Cadis.
CADIZ, Feb. 10. The strike which was
begun here recently as the result of gen
eral dissatisfaction with the existing- con
ditions. Is rapidly spreading.. Rioters to
day forced the proprietors of all the stores'
to close, and meetings were held at which
violent speeches were delivered, the speak
ers pledging themselves to continue the
fight with the use of firearms If necessary.
An attempt to wreck an express train by
the removal of a rail was discovered In
time to avert a disaster.
Limit Pot on Their Mourning;.
BREMEN. Feb. 10. About 500 employes
of the Vulcan ship-yard at Vegasack, 10
miles from here, left work yesterday to
attend the funeral 'of a fellow workman.
Their action resulted In a reprimand from
the management, and a threatened strike
on the part of the employes. The matter
was eventually settled through an agree
ment that half the workmen In any of the
departments shall have the right to at
tend a funeral.
TO PLAN THE 1905' FAIR
STATE COMMISSION- TO MEET LEWIS
AXD CLARK DIRECTORS.
Although State Lair Is JTot Yet In
Effect, Future Wort Will Be
Mapped Oat.
On Friday afternoon a combined meet
ing of the directorate or the Lewis and
Clark Fair Company and the State Com
mission will be held in the office of the
Chamber of Commerce at 216 Washing
ton street. The State Commission Is not
legally In office yet, and the meeting'on
Friday will merely be for discussing
plans of the two bodies.
According to the best authorities, the
State Commission will not be In office
until 90 days after the close of the Legis
lature. But, Inasmuch as a great deal
has to be accomplished by the commission
before 1903, it has been decided that in
formal meetings could be held in all pro-

prlety, so that future work could bo
mapped out and plans prepared.
Section 3 of the bill creating the Lewis
and Clark Centennial ' Exposition Com
mission says, among other things: "As
soon as said Commissioners shall have
been appointed and this act shall have
taken effect, they shall, upon notice given
to them by the Secretary of State, meet
at the City of Portland. . . . ."
Secretary 'of State Dunbar, in a letter
written to Secretary -Reed on February 2,
says: "As there is no emergency clause
provided in the act. the same does not
take effect until SO days from the end of
the legislative session. Therefore, 'In my
opinion, the commission cannot organize
prior to the act taking effect. I suggest
the matter be taken up with Mr. Fenton.
and If he differs from the foregoing view
I should be pleased to have his opinion."
Mr. Fenton, after noting the contents
of the letter, wrote to Secretary Reed as
follows: "I beg to say that under the act
this commission cannot qualify until
about June. However. I think that there
should be an informal meeting of the di
rectors with the new commission at the
next regular meeting." This will be on
Friday.
The Deady code of 1S72 interprets "90
days after the close of the legislative ses
sion" as meaning the SOth day from the
end of the session, and in that case the
law becomes operative on May 22. 1903.
There have been numerous applications
for the position of secretary for the new
commission, but the Commissioners think
that none should be appointed until the
law Is fully effective.
JOHN F. KNAPP RETURNS.
Western Legislatures Show Kindly
Feellnic Toward 1003 Fair.
John F. Knapp, special commissioner of
the Lewis and Clark Fair Corporation,
who has been doing such good work in the
Western States during the past month,
returned home last' night and will remain
a week or so, when he will start out on
another trip.
"Minnesota. Nebraska, Colorado and
Wyoming will, from all indications, stand
by us," said Mr. Knapp. "and they will
give ns liberal appropriations. The Gov
ernors and the members of the legislative
bodies of the several states are in thor
ough sympathy with our project, for they
recognize the Importance of the Exposition
to the entire Western country. Our bills
and all other legislation have been handi
capped by the Senatorial contests in sev
eral states, and it is only In the last 10 or
12 days that consideration of some of the
bills was begun. Some of the bills have
been referred to the ways and means com
mittees of the different states from which
I have Just returned, and I have arranged
for Joint meetings with the committees in
Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska next
week, after which I shall go to South Da
kota. I have an appointment with the
Governor and Speaker of the House at
Pierre, and I believe that It will have
fruitful results. From Pierre I shall go to
Jefferson City, Mo., and thence to Spring
field. 111."
"Did you receive much encouragement In
the East?" was asked.
"A great deal. At St. Paul I met but
first I must speak of business men that
I spoke to about the Fair. Lumbermen
favored it heartily, and my relatives In the
Knapp-Stout Company, probably the old
est lumber firm In the country, supported
It. I met Speaker Babcock. of the House
of Representatives, who personally Intro
duced me to the House at an open session.
I met Lieutenant-Governor Jones, who
happily Introduced me to the Senate as the
representative of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial, and who highly eulogized the
Exposition and stated the necessity of the
great 'State of Minnesota making suita
ble provision for representation, and from
the statements of the Senators I am as
sured that Minnesota will look out for it
self in 1903.
"Later I saw Governor Van Sant, who
spared no words In his approval of the
project. He was kind enough to give me a
letter to the Hon. Conde Hamlin, vice
president and general manager of the Pioneer-Press
Publishing Company and chair
man of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company. Mr. Hamlin authorized me to
say to the Hon. H. W. Corbett, president
of the Lewis and Clark Corporation, that
Minnesota will be suitably represented at
Portland, and there will be no necessity
for me to return to St. Paul and meet the
ways and means committee."
In speaking of his trip home Mr. Knapp
said the weather was very rough from
Cheyenne west. As he had a few days to
spare, he thought he had better come to
Portland and make a report to the legis
lation committee of the corporation, and
he was glad he did so, for he found that
Mrs. Knapp had received news of the seri
ous illness of her mother In Missouri and
might at any minute be called to her bed
side. Mr. Knapp will remain until the lat
ter part of the week, and on his trip East
will be accompanied by his wife, who will
stop off at his old home. Today Mr.
Knapp will meet a committee of the Lewis
and Clark Corporation, and will tell it
what he learned from personal observa
tion In the East.

"I ask that Colonel Ogden be allowed

Colonel Ogden then took the stand. Ho
said that two young clerks employed In
the Civil Service Department had con
fessed to him that on May 2 last they
stole copies of the questions to be put in
an examination for police patrolmen.
This examination was held on May 17 last,
and nearly 1800 men were eligible for the
examination. The young clerks con
fessed. Colonel Ogden said, that they had
taken the copies of the question to
Benlsch and that he had paid them $130.
The regular price of a copy of questions
at the civil service examination to pat
rolmen is said to be $30.
On hearing Colonel Ogden's statement,
the sentencing of Benlsch was postponed.

might be leu. and. that the remainder of the
fund would be used for advertising Oregon
in Hsetern publications and preparing and
printing literature to be circulated among
Investors and bomeseekers Interested In our
state.
The cost of issuing 100.000 additional copies
of "Oregon and Its Resources" and of pub
lishing advertisements In Eastern papers and
magazines, to create a demand for these
pamphlets, would greatly exceed the amount
the Chamber of Commerce has available for
advertising purposes this year. The only way
to obtain the necessary funds would be to
make a canvass among our business men.
as was done last Summer, when the first edi
tion of the Harrlman booklet was published.
In view of the heavy demands that have
been made upon our business Interests In
the past 18 months for the Lewis and Clark
Fair, the Bureau of Information and for
other public purposes, we deem It Inadvisable
to again call upon them at this time for more
money for advertising. While .our business
men would undoubtedly respond cheerfully to
any call the Chamber of Commerce might
make upon them to promote the welfare of
the state. It Is not just that they should
be continually taxed when other ways for
carrying on the work present themselves. We
therefore recommend that the publication of
literature on Oregon and the advertising of
our state In the East be done by the Bureau
of Information, with the money subscribed
by our business men, and amounting to about
$18,000:
An estimate of the cost of advertising Ore

tions Is herewith attached and made part of
ths report. Respectfully submitted.

"WEAKNESS"
We not only cure "weakness"
promptly, but we employ the only
treatment that can possibly cure
this disorder permanently. It Is
mainly a system of local treatment,
entirely original with us, and is
employed by no physician other
than ourselves. This may seem
a broad assertion, but It Is Just as
"substantial as it Is broad. So
called "weakness" is but a symp
tom of local inflammation or con
gestion, and a radical cure is mere
ly a matter of restoring normal
conditions throughout the organic
system, and this we accomplish
thoroughly, and with absolute cer
tainty. SYPHILIS
We cure this leprous disease com
pletely. The system Is thoroughly
cleansed and every poisonous taint
removed. The last symptom van
ishes to appear no more, and all Is
accomplished by the use of harm
less blood-cleansing remedies. Do
not submit to the dangjrous min
eral dosing, commonly Indulged In
Such treatment merely obscures
the symptoms.
VARICOCELE
Under our treatment the most ag
gravated cases of varicocele are
cured In a few days time. There
is no pain, and It is seldom neces
sary that the patient be detained
frcm his occupation. Normal cir
culation Is at once restored
throughout all the organs, and the
natural processes of waste and re
pair are again established. If you
are afflicted with varicocele consult
us at once. Delay can but bring
on aggravated conditions and nerv
ous complications that will Impair
the vital functions and Involve the
general health.

The weather has been very cold in some

crisp, so that cattle and sheep could eas

have had plenty of hay there has been no
loss to amount to anything, because the
feed did not become dampened by the
snow so that stock refused to eat It. The

ONLY
Our Promises
Host physicians hesitate to make def
inite promises. We do not. A specialist
who cannot make promises with certainty
of fulfilling them Isn't much of a special
ist. He doesn't understand his field. He
hasn't thorough knowledge of the diseases
he treats. He Is uncertain about bis
methods of treatment. He prescribes In
doubt and hopes for the best.
It has taken our head specialist over
twenty years to acquire the knowledge
to enable blm to found our system of
treatment. He has been treating men
exclusively and has been learning all the
time. Every one of our physicians Is
experienced In all our methods of treat
ment. When a case comes to us for treat
ment we know whether we can cure it
or whether we cannot, and we make our
statements accordingly. This sort ot
frankness Is appreciated, and we can truly
sav that our practice is now the largest
because we Invariably fulfill our promises.
CONTRACTED
DISORDERS
In no other ailment peculiar to
men is a prompt and thorough cure
so essential. Contracted disorders
tend to work backward until the
most vital nerve centers become in
volved in the inflammation. Then
follows a chronic stage that stub
bornly resists all ordinary treat
ment. Safety demands that every
vestige of infection be eradicated
at the earliest possible moment.
Our treatment Is thorough. The
remedies employed have a more
positive action than has ever be
fore been attained, and so perfect
Is our method of application that
even chronic cases yield completely.
REFLEX AILMENTS
Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease. Weakness sometimes
comes from varicocele or stricture.
Our long experience in treating men
enables us to determine the exact
condition that exists and to treat
accordingly, thus removing every
damaging cause and its effects.
STRICTURE
Surgery should have no place In
the treatment of stricture. There
Is no necessity for it. This is a
fact we have demonstrated In
thousands of instances. We remove
all obstructing tissues without cut
ting or dilating. We employ a pain
less and harmless treatment that
gradually dissolves the stricture,
subdues all Inflammation, removes
all irritation or congestion from the
kidneys or bladder, reduces enlarge
ment of the prostate gland and re
stores health and tone to all the
organs affected.
