THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1903- 5 HOWTO STOP GAMES Municipal Association Is Try ing to Find Means. REPORT OF COMMITTEE MADE Majority of Executive Board Op posed to Mayor' Policy Commit tee to Consider the Best Legal Method of Closing: Games. At a meeting held in the T. M. C. A. auditorium last night the Municipal As sociation heard the report of the commit tee -which was appointed to Investigate gambling as now conducted in Portland and to Interview the Mayor and Executive Board on the subject. The association then appointed another committee with instructions to make a recommendation ag to the legal method which the association should adopt in order to close gambling tight. The first committee reported that the majority of- the Executive Board -was op posed to the Mayor's policy and -was in favor of suppressing the games at once and vigorously. Two members of the Executive Board told the committee that they were in duced to assent to the present system on the representation that the fines levied on the games would be raised each month until gambling would cease, be cause the size of the fines made the busi ness unprofitable. Another member, the committee report ed, told it that he considered the Mayor's statement that, if gambling were sup pressed, it would result inevitably in the corruption of city officials, a gross slander. "Moreover," said this member, "if I be lieved the Mayor meant it. I would resign from the Board." Another member of the Mayor's offl rlal family told the committee that if he were Chief of Police he could suppress gambling entirely and there would be no graft. The association, however, was not dis posed to depend on the Executive Board for assistance. It was pointed out that the Board was appointed by the Mayor, presumably because its members were in accord with his policy, and that, were some member to antagonize the Mayor on some vital point, his resignation would certainly be seemly and expected. The Association realized that the members of the Executive Board were merely ad visors and not partners of the Mayor. Some hopes were originally entertained by the Association that if It could demon strate to Mayor "Williams that the weight of public sentiment or the majority of the taxpayers was opposed to his system of controlling gambling, he would aban don It for some more popular policy. "These hopes," said an officer of the association last night, "were dashed to earth by the Mayor's candid statement that he didn't care what the majority of the taxpayers thought; that he thought he was right and would go ahead. Bar ring some radical action by the Executive Board, which seems Improbable, we will now have to resort to legal measures." "What legal steps shall be taken is a matter upon which the association has no official idea at present. Its committee will Investigate the situation, consider the merits of the different processes of law Tinder which the gamblers may be reached, and will make recommendations to the association at Its next meeting, the date of which has not. yet "been fixed.

Gibbons Sny America "Will Have Another Cardinal. NEW YORK, Sept. 22. Cardinal Gibbons arrived here today on the Kaiser "Wilhelm der Grosse. A delegation of priests and laymen from Baltimore went down the bay on a revenue cutter to greet him and welcome him home. Heading the delega tion were Rev. Dr. J. D. Stafford, of Washington, and Rev. B. Singleton, of Baltimore, and R. B. Tibbett, of Balti more, supreme president of. the Cathollt Benevolent Association. The Cardinal will remain in this city a guest at the home of Mrs. Kelly, of Brooklyn, until Friday, when he will accompany the dele gation to Baltimore. When the welcoming party boarded the Kaiser Wllhelrn der Grosse off quaran tine. Mr. Tibbett made an address of wel come, to which the Cardinal briefly re plied. Another reception awaited the Cardinal when he went ashore at Hobo ken. The pier was crowded with eccles iastical friends from this city. This after noon the cardinal went to Brooklyn. He had a pleasant voyage and said the ocean trip had recuperated Iris strength, which had been greatly taxed by the severe spell of fever he "suffered, due to the intense heat in Rome during the progress of the conclave. Asked about the possibility of another American cardinal being appointed, Car dinal Gibbons answered: "There will be another cardinal. It would not surprise me to see the number of American cardinals augmented In the near future. But there is absolutely no. truth in the cabled statement that the pope purposes to create a patriarchate for the Occident. The statement Is ridicu lous." Of the new Pontiff the Cardinal spoke In terms of greatest enthusiasm. He said that the choice of the conclave had been most happy from an American viewpoint, as Plus X was deeply interested in the development of the church in this country, and was singularly familiar with Ameri can institutions. The Cardinal had sev eral lengthy interviews with the Pope re garding church affairs In this country. The Cardinal was not inclined to dis cuss the probable policy of the new papal regime, but said that no radical changes in American church administration would ensue. He said that one of the first steps taken by Plus X was to instruct his act ing Secretary of State, Mgr. Merry Del Val, to provide for an extensive exhibit of the Vatican treasures at the St. .Louis Exposition. He said the exhibit Hvould probably comprise some of the magnifi cent jubilee gifts of the late Pontiff, and a number ol rare historical manuscripts and maps from the Vatican library re lating to the early settlement and mission work in the Louisiana purchase territory, most of which was penetrated by Catholic missionaries within a quarter of - a cen tury of the discovery of the continent. Concerning the probable relations be tween the new pope and the Italian gov ernment. Cardinal Gibbons said: "The pope, as patriarch of Venice, was on very friendly terms with the King, but what a man does when he Is a mere private in the ranks, so to speak, and when he Is elevated to power and re sponsibility, are wholly different things. What Plus X will do In this matter Is, of course, unknown. You may rely on it, however, there will be no sudden change. These things are not done in a way to attract attention. If a change does take place, it will be a gradual change. The friendliness between the Vatican and the Qulrinal will grow. Pius X is not the patriarch of, Venice, and while he may retain his friendly feelings for the King, these feelings will cause no sudden change of the papal policy, but will probably, in the course of time, bring about Improved relationship and a better state of things. The King, I believe, Is influenced by very kindly feelings toward the pope." To the Passlonlst Fathers the cardinal brought a special blessing from Pope Pius in response to the message of love and congratulation sent to the pope by them at the time of his election. THE DEATH ROLL. Famous Member of Benedictine Order NEW YORK, Sept. 22.

The following changes in the Cabinet have been made: Hakano has been appointed Minister of Justice; Baron Kioura, Minister of Agriculture; Kubota, Minister of. Education and Oura, Minister of CommunJcaUQo, SCHOOL RUSH UNCHECKED POUR HUNDRED MORE PUPILS ARB ENROLLED. Total Attendance Reaches 11,500 Board of Education Has Difficult Problem to Provide Room. Monday's overcrowding of the public schools was not a freak of chance as was at first believed. The heavy influx of students continued yesterday, contrary to expectation, with the result that at least two of the schools are swamped in the matter of capacity. The situation is such that a special meeting of the Board of Education has been called for this morning to discuss plans for seating all the pupils. It is feared , that it will be necessary to establish half-day classes at the Central and North Central schools. Yesterday's increase In attendance over the enormous enrollment of Monday, the opening day, totaled nearly 400 pupils which brings the total number of children In school up to nearly 11,500 with one scfiool of the city yet to be heard from, the Highland school. When the returns Monday showed the unexpected large at tendance. City Superintendent RIgler was inclined to believe that the long vacation was responsible. However, when the at tendance returns of yesterday showed an added Increase of several hundred pupils this theory was dropped. Superintendent RIgler now believes, with many of the teachers, that the Increase in thq. popu lation of Portland is responsible. If the increase continues In like proportion until tho middle of the year, as is customary, there is little doubt but that several of the schools will be swamped. While there is plenty of schoolroom in the city, the crush Is not evenly distributed, and empty seats In one school cannot be utilized to relieve an overcrowded condition In an other part of the city. "Had the contractors completed the an nexes In time for the opening of school, as they promised, we would not have this difficulty to face," said Superintendent RIgler yesterday. "There Is little doubt but that we will be forced to establish half-day classes In both the Central and North Central schools. In several of tho rooms of each of these schools there are 50 pupils, which Is more than one teacher can handle as well as being .too many for the seating capacity of the rooms. "If we could rent suitable rooms In these districts the difficulty would be solved, but I can learn of no available buildings or rooms, so there is no alterna tive ' to the forming of the half-day classes. These classes are very undesir able, as they tend to throw some of the students, behind in their work. We will aim, however, to arrange the classes so that the higher grades and those to whom the work means the most will not be dis turbed. The harm would be least to those In their second and third years. It will be necessary to give beginners and higher grade students the preference and keep them in school all day if possible." Just how heavy the attendance has been in the county schools has not yet been ascertained, and it Is regarded as doubt ful If the returns will be complete before the end of the week. County Superin tendent Robinson is at present making a tour of the 70 schools of the county look ing after the details of opening week. ALBAXY COLLEGE OPENS. Attendance Exceeds That of Any Previous Year. ALBANY, Or., Sept 22. (Special.) Al bany College today entered upon the 37th year of its useful life, under very ausplc- j lous conditions. The work of registering students really began yesterday, but to day Is the day announced for the opening of college. Registration and matriculation of students has been progressing all day, and the number exceeds that of any open ing day In the history of Albany College. Many students will not enter school for a week or so, owing to the late harvests and the large amount of work going on In all lines. President Wallace Howe Lee said today that a pleasing feature of the opening was the fact that a great proportion of the students came from the state at large. Every section of the state Is represented, and the number of students coming from outside of Linn County Is greater than ever before, while there Is the usual quota of local students. Professor W. M. Cox, the new head of the commercial departmentof the college, and Professor George B. Slkes, who as sumes the chair of sociology and history, and Mrs. Slkes, who will have charge of the German and French courses, were all on the ground today becoming acquainted with the ararngement of the building and preparing to take up their work Immedi ately In the organization of classes. With hardly an exception the students of last year who were not In the senior class havo either returned to school al ready or signified their intention of doing so. This is a matter of great encourage ment to the students who have althetics and debating work In charge, as well as to those who are directing the destinies of the college proper. Financially the college occupies the best position It has held for many years. Never before since the panic of 1894 has the school been entirely out of debt Now the Institution is entirely free from debt, a new dormitory has been placed on the campus, and the citizens of Albany have but finished contributing $1000 as a fund for painting the buildings and meeting incidental expanses connected with the opening of school. The dormitory which was placed on the campus last year will be fitted up for stu dents this season. President Lee ' has moved his family into the dormitory and will personally look after the welfare of students who are away from home. Mrs. Lee, mother of the president, will act as matron of the dormitory. The dormitory building Is large and roomy and well ar ranged. It Is the first dormitory the col lege has ever had, and will accommodate about 50 students. CHILDREN MUST GO TO SCHOOL. Law Compels Attendance of All Un der 15 Years of Agre. SALEM, Or.'. Sept 22. (Special.) The opening of the public schools for the new school year will serve to remind parents, children and school officers that the child labor law passed by the last Legislature Is as much a compulsory education law as It Is a child labor law. It Is pro vided that attendance at school of all children under 14 years of age in cities and towns shall be compulsory and that no child under that age whether in town or country shall be employed for wages during school time. All children under 15 must attend school unless employed at some legal occupation. For the purpose of considering plans for enforcing this law. a meeting of the Child Labor Commission, the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Commissioner of Labor, has been called to be held In Portland next Friday morning. The Child Labor Commission is composed of: H. J. Kundret, Mrs. Nellie Trumbull and Stephen S. Wise, of Portland; Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, Oswego, and Mrs. Belle M. Wright. Union. O. P. Hoff, of Port land, is Labor Commissioner. - STUDENTS COMING IN FAST. Agricultural College Enrollment Will Surpass That of Last Year. CORVALLI3, Or., Sept 22. (Special.) Organization was completed at the col lege today, and tomorrow recitations be gin. Enrollment has been in progress to day.

(Speclal.)-ft has been reported from Crawfordsvlllo, In the southern part of Linn County, that a new railroad Is to be constructed in Linn Coun ty. The report which comes from a credi ble source, states that tho new enterprise is fostered by Portland capital and that plans are under way to commence work on the road Immediately. The proposed new line will connect Crawfordsvllle with Brownsville, which Is on a branch line of the Southern Pacific system in this county. It will be 'erected primarily for lumbering purposes. There is a large field for lumbering in the southern part of Linn County. One of the finest timber belts In the world has Its outlet at Crawfordsvllle. This little town Is situated on the Calapooia River, which taps the timber belt Construction on a large sawmill has already been com menced at Crawfordsvllle, and as the only means of transporting the lumber at present is by wagons over the county road, it appears necessary that a line of railroad connecting with some point on the Southern Pacific be constructed. The saw mill, which Is now under course of con struction, will have a capacity of 75,000 feet of lumber per day from the beginning, and the plan Is to enlarge the mill as rapidly as possible. The new country which It Is proposed to open up Is one of the finest locations in the world for a large lumbering Industry. Not only does the district embrace one of the finest tracts of timber in the country, but the timber may be easily logged. It would be hard to find a better stream for logging purposes than the Calapooia. The river is free from shallows and rapids, and any amount of logs may be safety moored In the stream. There Is an excel lenfmlll site near Crawfordsvllle. But the work of the new railroad will not be confined to the lumber business. The road will tap one of the richest agri cultural districts in Linn County. One of .the largest producing communities In the county is in tho neighborhood of Craw fordsvllle, and the traffic from that sec tion 4s heavy. A raHroad has been needed there for years, but the advent of the saw mill was necessary to attract tho atten tion of capital. T,he fact that a large sawmill Is already building Insures the early construction of the railroad. The new line of road will be about ten miles long and will entail as Httle ex pense as Is compatible with a road of that length. The grade Is very easy, and no excavating will be required. It will be a big thing for the southern portion of Linn County, which has heretofore been almost Isolated from the world. DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS ANGRY". Release of Mrs. Sutton "Was a Sur priseFurther Plans Not Ready. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 22. (Special.) District Attorney Bylngton was wrathy all day as a result of the release of Mrs. Zylphla Sutton, accused of being a party to the murder of Martin Bowers, her brother-in-law. "1 was so taken by surprise by the ac tion of the police judge before whom the hearing was held," he said, "that I have not fully made up my mind Just what will be the next step In the Bowers case. We certainly expected that both women would be held and that we could be able to get a jury ruling on their guilt or Innocence. "As to the matter of taking the case of Mrs. Sutton to the next grand jury, noth ing has been finally settled, but I have thought something of It However, there is plenty of time yet There Is no danger of losing Mrs. Sutton. We can find her whenever we want to, hence there is no. particular necessity for Immediate ac tion."

Kilpatrlck, the wealthy young Nebraska man found dead, shot through the heart, in his apartments yesterday, has aban doned the theory of suicide and today called upon the police to investigate the shooting on the possibility that it maght have been murder.

Family War in Scowtovrn. There has been trouble on a couple of scows at the foot of Raleigh street And the worst of it is that the trouble is all In the Reynolds family. On two scows dwell J. H. Reynolds and his wife, and on another his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lola H. Reynolds. Bad blood has existed for some time, It seems, between the two women. Mrs. Lola Reynolds says that the other woman repeatedly threatened her life. Matters reached a climax yes terday when Mrs. J. H. Reynolds laid violent hands upon Clyde Reynolds, one of the family over which Mrs. Lola Rey nolds keeps a watchful eye. According to the complaint filed In Justice Reld's court yesterday Mrs. J. H. Reynolds "did assault and beat one Clyde Reynolds." So the indignant mother had her arrested. Constable Jackson piaced the woman un der arrest, but she pleaded that she must wait until the children came homo from school so that she could take them with her. Otherwise they would fall off the scow and be drowned. When they came she took so much time In cleaning them up that tho Constable took her word for it that she would appear in court today.
