Bpme 20 Chinese gardeners, whose places are south of the Multnomah Club's grounds, are violating the health ordin ances of the city by keeping their places in an extremely unsanitary condition. Residences of the locality are up In arms against the condition, and have called the attention of Health Officer Biersdorf to It. It Is his intention to have the care less Mongolians cither driven from the land or placed under arrest in the event they fall to put their premises Into neat condition. He will await the return to the city of the owner of the ground be fore taking action, in the hope that the lease granted the gardeners can be re scinded, thus preventing the necessity of court proceedings or any future complaint that the residence of the Celestials on the ground may occasion.

In tie parlors of the Hotel Portland I met Miss Bingham, actress-manager. Around her neck a. blue ostrich boa. broad and long, hung its feathery folds, and in her hat front an azure plume swept boldly round the brim. A shimmering gown of silk, light in color and figured with arab esques of green, bid defiance to the neat rr.

Affectation Miss Bingham has none, neither in accent nor In manner, and in her voice lies that tinge of natural and alluring merriment which Is fortunately contagious. For the life of me I could not ten whether ncr hair was bleached or not. The etrong light of an open window fell upon Miss Binghams back ana m my eyes But one thing Is certain bleached or otherwise. Miss Bingham's hair Is ad mirable and of a very pretty shade of brown. But to return to Lily Langtry and the merciless smile. I had asked Miss Bing ham what her pet aversion might be, and added "barring Mrs. Langtry." Contrary to the teachings of learned ward-smiths, there are degrees of blank ness, and Miss Bingham Injected the su perlative quality into the look of dignified surprise with which the regarded me. Miss Bingham was undecided whether she should recognize the insinuation or not, and lor a brief Instant hesitated. "I have no aversions," she said at last, "None at alL" "Not even Mrs. Langtry?" The worm turned. "I don't know Mrs. Langtry." The chill of Greenland's Icy mountains was in Miss Bingham's tone. Then she thawed a little. "Tell me why you ask." "The story runs," I said, "that a year or Go to Oltmpia With the Elks on spe cial train via Northern Pacific August 22.

At the Empire Theater this week Julian Rose's new act is drawing as large and as pleased audiences as gath ered to see his superb Impersonation when he first appeared. The work of Rose is a treat which no one desiring to witness clever vaudeville can afford to overlook. Zano, the illusionist, does not follpw the old lines and has novelties to offer all through his act. The banjo nlaylng of the Olson brothers Is a treat for tired ears and their rendition of th J grand overture from "The Poet and th Peasant" sets the house wild with de light. Van Flossen and McCauley. the burnt corkers, keep up a running fire of dialogue, jokes and laughable songs. Matinee this afternoon. Shield' Amateurs Frldnj-. Edward Shields is thinking seriously of enlarging his park to accommodate the crowd that will be out Friday night to see the array, or rather the "hurray" of ama teurs who are to appear in 6ix acts Includ ing a sister team, a "recitatlonlst" and a "blue-note" cornetist are among the num ber, and perhaps a series of living pic tures will be given If a suitable frame can be made in time. If there are any in the city who feel as if they possess histrionic talent all that is necessary for them to do to get a hearing is to call at the park any afternoon this week. Bier Crowd at Shields'. Warm weather brought out a record breaking Tuesday-night crowd at Shields' Park. The moving pictures of the base ball crowd are a great drawing card and It pleases every one, for a number of Portland's most prominent people can be recognized on the screen.

I answered, "that last Winter in New York Mrs. Lang try wrote you a note which you never answered, and that now the Jersey Lily and yourself do not speak as you pass by." "It sounds very much like a true story,"' said Miss Bingham, and the amused and M Tt. 7.C, ic? BnJle oC woman on a vantage point began to gather on her lip corners. "And why did Mrs." Langtry snub your I asked, emboldened at the partial con firmation of the tale. "In London two years ago," said Miss ulngham, "Mrs. Langtry was a person to the women and a personage to the men. She-owned a theater and was very grand. In the company of the great French act ress she chose to forget who I was. Last Wlnter.she came to New York and found me manager of a highly successful com pany and a. personage to both the women and the men. Then she suddenly remem bered me, and It was my turn to forget." So this is the true story of "The Snub Avenged." Miss Bingham Is the only actress-manager In the country' and while she has had forerunners in Laura Dean and Mrs. John Drew, she expects to have few fol lowers. "I do not think women are mentally or physically qualified for managing." can didly admlttea the woman who managed three companies of her own last year. "They have not the decision or the judg ment of men, and while I myself have been quite successful, many, many times I catch myself running to some man friend with a request that he untie some tangle for me." Miss Bingham, philosopher, leaned far back in the chair, while she calmly con templated Miss Bingham, manager, and her slstern who would do things. "I like it myself, all right," said she, "but I would never advise any woman to try it. I am not a woman suffragist. DROWNED WHILE FISHING BOY MEETS SUDDEN DEATH IX CO LUMBIA SLOUGH. LcanliiK Too Far From His Scow, He Falls Overboard, and His Brother Recovers Body. Fishing all by himself on a scow-ferry on Columbia Slough, 11-year-old Lorne Andrews, of Peninsular, was drowned yesterday morning. The body was recov ered early In the afternoon by the boy's oldest brother. Lorne was the son of Mrs. James A. Andrews, who came with her six children from South Superior, Wis., a few months ago for her health. The boy has often gone fishing on Columbia Slough, which is only a short distance from the house. Yesterday morning he started out, accom panied by a younger brother and sister. Lorne went out upon the scow alone, while the others went in search of worms. Soon they returned and found their broth er still fishing. He refused to return home with them, and they left him alone, with no one else in sight. Prompted by some impulse, they west back within a few minutes to see what their brother was doing. To their horror he had dlsaDDeared from the scow. They Were old enough to know that some mis ortune had happened him, and, rushing to the house, they told the eldest brother, a boy of IS years. The brother procured grappling hooks, and. after dragging the slough for three hours, found the limp body of his little brother. Lorne had either lost his balance in looking over the side of the scow, or his hook had caught, and, stretching too far over, the boy had gone down to the mud dy waters of Columbia slough never to reappear alive. His brother says that the boy had z. painful boil upon his leg, and he is Inclined to believe that In an effort to relieve this irritation Lorne fell over board. Deputy Coroner A.' F. FInley was noti fied at once of the accident. He visited the scene and made an investigation. As the drowning was evidently an accident, pure and simple, he did not consider that any Inquest was necessary. The husband of the bereaved mother is James A. Andrews, construction foreman on the Northern Pacific, at South Su perior, Wis. fouxd After loxg search. Body of Fred Foster Comes to Sur face Xcar Clifton. William Foster, a well-known engineer, reached his home in Portland last even ing with the body of his son Fred Foster, who fell into the Columbia and was drowned six weeks ago. His return marked the end of a persistent and pa tient search. In which he has been aided by scores of friends and residents along the river. Not until a few days ago was the pathetic search rewarded, and then the body of the hapless young man was found near the mouth of the river, hav ing drifted over a hundred miles w'ttiout once being sighted. The body v,as on the surface near Clifton when taken .from the water by a pleasure party. It lay in the morgue at Astoria several days be fore being identified. The father hap pened to return to the city for a few days from the search and heard of the discovery of a body near Clifton. He took the first boat for Astoria, and at once recognized the lifeless form In the morgue -as that of his son. The young man was drowned June 2S. He was taking a trip on the steamer Dalles City, when at a point near the Cascades he slipped and fell overboard. Before a boat could be lowered he had sunk from sight and did not again appear above th surface. Immediately upon hearing or the fatal accident the father commenced his long search. For weeks he walked up and down the river, over hauling every snag and brush-clump In the hope the body had lodged. Ills search proving unavailing, he offered a reward of $50 for the recover of the body, anil posted notices to this effect Rt Intervals on the banks of the river. Fred was a member of the Y. M. C. A. and has many friends who, while mourning his untimely death, will find consolation in the fact of the recovery of the body. He was in his 2tst year. Species of Yerr. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. IS. (To the Editor.) Through the columns of the Oregonlan please tell me what kind of a tree tie inclosed cuttings are from. It looks like hemlock, but it has berries. Each branch I send has a green berry just starting. The berries get as large as peas and are dark pink. The tree grows on my neighbor's place. It has ripe berries, green berries and blossoms on now. The birds eat the berries. A READER. The cutUngs are from dome species of yew tree, an evergreen akin to the larch, cypress, cedar and coniferous trees generally. The foliage shows this, but the fruit of the yew being a solitary seed, or, as many would style it. berry, has a tendency to cause many to Imag ine that It is some strange kind of tree. Thre are some ) species of yew. Oh, dear, no. And when it comes to man aging, the men have so much more vigor, so much stronger a touch. I often feel like placing all of my business affairs In the hands of some large he-human with big hands and feet and a rough voice. But then, that's Just nature, I suppose." For fear that Miss Bingham should sud denly decide to cast aside her business cares and America so lose Its only speci men of the female director. I changed the subject, and presently the Madame was talking of Clyde Fitch, the prolific, the fecund, the muciparous. "Tell me." said I to the Bingham.- "how does he d.o It? How can any man write the Immense number of presentable plays that Mr. Fitch writes every week. How does Mr. Fitch- " "He doesn't," was the Interruptlve an swer which stemmed the flow of my curiosity. "Let me explain. Clyde Fitch was writing plays long before "ho ever got one accepted. I made his first success myself. After a few of his plays had become popular, Mr. Fitch simply went itown In his trunk. He took play after play which had been rejected in the past, fixed them up a little and they were pro duced with a fanfare of trumpets as re cently written comedies." "Is there no hope of the supply In the trunk ever giving out?" I asked. "Mr. Fitch Is my friend." said the Bing ham stanchly, and added, "he also trans lates plays from the French. He adapted 'The Frisky Mrs. Johnson' for me." It will be remembered that when "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" was produced last year In New York, unkind critics said she didn't frisk at all. "Adapting a French play." continued Miss Bingham, "means cutting out those suggestive parts which we cannot produce in this country making an expurgated edition, so to speak." I began a course of those preliminary movements which signalize approaching departure. "Tell me," said Miss Bingham, "Where can I buy some trinkets for a Christmas tree?" "For a Christmas tree In August?" I echoed, and then remembered the neces sities of the third act In "The Climbers." I indicated the nearest department store, and a huge blue hat, a tangle of golden hair, a tremendous boa, smart gown, merry laugh and business air Bwept down the hotel steps. A. C varying In size from a large tree to a straggling bush, the fruit of each varying In appearance, but generally It Is a, sol itary seed surrounded at the base with a fleshy, cupule. or little cup. In which it sits as the acorn sltSjin its cup. This cupule changes color as the seed ripens and is probably the part which is eaten by the "birds. In old times the yew Um ber was considered the best for bows. Most of the species of yew are natives of the temperate zone. In this country there are many species, as the Western. California, Pacific, Dwarf, Mexican, and others. IDENTIFIED BY MARKS. Accused Chinese Murderer Cnptnred for Return to Callfornln. Identified more by his peculiar marks and scars than by the photograph sent by the San Francisco police. Woo Sheok, a Chinese, who sometimes goes by the name of Yeong Yee; was arrested yesterday, by Detectives Hartman and Day, on a charge of attempted robbery and murder, preferred by the police of the Bay City. The crime for which the Chinese has Just been brought to book was committed In San Francisco, May 30, 1902. Five celestials crept Into the store of the Wo Sing Company. 726 Dupont street, and at tacked the employes. These fought fierce ly, and after a number of revolver shots had been exchanged, one of the men of the store was dead, and another fatally Injured. The five Chinese who committed the crime escaped from the police for a time, but two were finally caught and are now serving time In the California pene tentlary. Wo Sheok was one who escaped from San Francisco, and until yesterday had never been captured. Three months ago the detective force was notified that he was In Portland. Detective Day was as signed to the case, and together with De tecUve Hartman, succeeded In running down the almond-eyed murderer yesterl day. He had been employed In a. restaur ant, and It was only by watching his actions for a long time and getting a more accurate description of him that the de tectives felt justified In arresting him. He was IdenUfled by 14 marks upon his body. Detective Gibson will arrive in a few days to take the Chinese back" -to Call fornlan justice. PROOF IS IN RESULTS. Mayor Snys Record of Arrests and Fines Shows Police Efficient. Figures intended to show that the police force Is entirely efficient under Chief Hunt's administration have been compiled from the police records by Mayor Will iams as an answer to those who have as serted that ths police force has developed symptoms of incompetence under Its pres ent leadership. The Mayor s statement shows that there have been 2S12 more ar rests under Chief Hunt during the six months that ended the middle of this month than for the corresponding period of last year, when D. M. McLauchlan stood at the head of the department; also that $17,075 more has been collected In fines. To be exact, there have been 4271 arrests since February 1 of this year, as compared with 1459 for the same period of last year, and $18,330 In fines, as compared with $1275 for last year's corresponding period. "These figures speak for themselves, said Mayor Williams yesterday afternoon. "I cannot see where any charge of incom petence can be made against the depart ment in the face of such a showing. Of course there have been hold-ups, but there always have been. Criminals of that class are very difficult to apprehend, and often when the officers are satisfied of the guilt of suspects they cannot possibly secure" the evidence required to convict them. All they can do Is drive the suspects out of town under threat of imprisonment for vagrancy, and this has been done In number of instances. "I beiieve the police are doing their duty in every sense of the word. "Sportlnpr Column" Xot Appreciated. HUBBARD, Or.. Aug. 17. To the Ed itor.)
