E.C. MORSE AT HOME
Drugged and Robbed Missing
Man Returns.
SEVEN DAYS BLANK TO HIM
Remembers Leaves Irvlngton Race--track
August 17, and Came to
. His Senses at Bend, Or.,
Sunday, Less -$228.
E. C. Morse, who mysteriously disap
peared last Wednesday, arrived home last
evening on the 5:25 o'clock train of the
O. R. & N. Co. from Bhjss, and told a re
markable story of his adventures during
the past five days. He was undoubtedly
the victim of .foul play and was doped
and robbed, and his clothing was even
changed, but for what purpose this was
done is not clear. He partially regained
consciousness at Bend, a small town in
Crook County, over 150 miles from Port
land, on Sunday last. His mind continued
to be hazy for a long time afterwards,
however, and it was only by degrees that
he could tell the people at Bend who he
was and of Tils desire to communicate
with his wife and relatives and inform
them that he was still In the land of the
living and of his whereabouts.
The first news received from him In
Portland was by his sister, Mrs. J. W.
Hutchinson, with whom he communicated
by telephone from Biggs, the junction
of the Columbia Southern and O. R. &
N. railway lines, in Sherman County.
This was at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He Informed her briefly of his strange
experience and conveyed the information
that he was coming home on the after
noon train.
The wife of the missing man, who has
spent sleepless days and nights mourn
ing for him, was overjoyed at receiving
the news, and It was a happy crowd of
relatives and friends that met Morse
upon the arrival of the train at the East
Side depot. He is still suffering from the
effects of the rough treatment be re
ceived, but Is expected to regain his
Health in due course of time.
The story he related, while unques
tionably true, sounds like one of fic
tion, and astounded its hearers. He
said he remembered being at the Irv
ington racetrack on "Wednesday, Au
gust 17, and from that time until Sun-
day morning everything was a com
plete blank. On Sunday he began to
come to himself, and on inquiry ascer--joined
where he was, but had no recol
lection of how he came to be so far
away from home. His mind gradually
cleared somewhat and he said he re
membered he had won about $100 at the
racetrack, and that he had $145 on his
person when he went to the track. On
examining his pockets at Bend he
found only $17. He said that he recol
lected meeting a short man on the
street-car when he started to go home
from the races, who joshed him about
having won money. He said he had
no further recollection of things until
his senses came to him at Bend. He
took the first stage for Biggs, a dis
'tance of 100 miles, and tried to com
municate with relatives from Prinevllle
and Shaniko by telephone, but was un
able to secure connection with Port
land, and therefore telephoned from
JJIggs.
Mr. Morse is satisfied that he was
drugged and robbed, and he still suf
fers from the effects of the drug, and
has a very severe cold, which he caught
on the trip. Whoever was with him
removed his shirt and put another one
on him, and had also changed his socks.
He also had a white silk muffler in his
pocket which he did not have before.
A ring with a garnet setting, given to
him by his mother as a birthday pres
ent, was stolen. He also had a pack
age containing two common shirts and
a pair of overalls, which someone at the
hotel at Bend Insisted belonged to him.
Mr. Morse is resting at his home at
Wiberg Lane and will probably be well
again in a few days.
WITH FLOUR TO JAPAN.
Nicomedia Will Take Out Shipment
of 5500 Tons.
With a cargo of 5500 tons of flour, the
German steamship Nicomedia, of the
Portland & Asiatic line, will start on her
return voyage across the Pacific before
the end of August. She will be given as
quick "dispatch as possible and the cargo
on board is now being hurried from her
hold. The flour will go to Japanese and
Chinese ports, and she will carry little
other merchandise.
The big Pacific Mall liner Manchuria
was scheduled to leave San Francisco for
the Orient with flour yesterday, but was
delayed until today. By the first week of
September some 15,000 tons or more of
flour will be afloat on its way to the
Orient. It is also probable that other
large shipments of flour to the Orient
will soon be made.
The Nicomedia arrived in the lower
harbor early yesterday morning. She had
on board 6520 tons of general cargo. Tea
was by far the largest Item, there being
'30.000 cases on board. Five hundred tons
of rice and a quantity of gunnysacks and
curios are other Items on her list. When
four days out of Yokohama, the Nico
media spoke the Aragonia. The' Japan
bound vessel was Informed that the Rus
sian fleet was in the neighborhood, and
her captain consequently headed more
to the northward, and was not captured.
MEET CUNARD LINE'S CUT.
Steamship Companies Announce Re
duction of Passenger Rates.
NEW-YORK. Aug. 23. All the leading
transatlantic lines have now reduced min
imum first and second cabin rates, east
bound, to meet the Cunard reduction made
several days ago. The North German
Lloyd and the French line were the last
to take part In the cut rate war by an
nounclng sweeping reductions In the first
class rates both to Plymouth and Cher
bourg, and to Bremen on the largest ves
sels on the line, and also on steamships
of the smaller class. On fast steamers
of the German line the minimum flrst
class rate to Plymouth and Cherbourg was
cut $40, and a reduction of $30 was made
in the same c'ass rate to Bremen. A cut
of $30 was announced in the first-class
rate to Plymouth and Cherbourg on ves
sels of the smaller type, and of $20 to
.Bremen.
On the other French lines a cut of $30
was made in first-class and of $30 in sec
ond-class cabin rates.
FOREIGN VESSELS CAN ENTER
Shaw Makes Ruling Regarding Pana
ma Port Which Causes Surprise.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23. Collector
of Customs Stratton today received
word from the Secretary of the Treas
ury at Washington to the effect that,
until otherwise ordered, foreign ves
sels will be allowed to do business be
tween Ancon, Panama and ports of the
United States. Being within the Pan
ama Canal zone, merchants and import
ers assumed- that Ancon would be re
garded as a coastwise port, and for
eign vessels would be debarred from
carrying freight between that port and
ports of the United States. The action
of the Washington authorities, practi
cally leaves it In the condition of a
foreign port.
GET QUICK DESPATCH.
Two Steamers, Soon to Return, Are
Rapidly Loaded With Grain. .
Remarkably quick dispatch was- given
two steamers now on their way to San
Francisco with grain. The steamship
Xeelanaw left down the river at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon with close to 2500
tons of wheat on- board. She came from
Puget Sound with 1500 tons, arriving here
Monday afternoon, and 1377 tons addi
tional was hurried on board.
The steamer Francis H. Leggett, now at
sea with a log raft, arrived up Friday
morning. She was docked and 1850 tons of
wheat placed on board. By noon Monday
the vessel was at sea with her tow. The
Leggett will return for another cargo and
grain and a log raft. Like the Leelanaw,
which will also probably return soon, the
Leggett was consigned by Taylor, Young
& Co.

Rug Pulled prom Beneath Leading
Lady Causes a Mishap.
Miss Clara Washington, the leading
lady of the "A Runaway Match" Com
pany, playing at Cordray's Theater, suf
fered a painful Injury during the second
act of the play last night. During the.
scene the action is spirited, and in some
manner .a rug was suddenly jerked from
beneath Miss Washington's feet during
the melee, and she was thrown forcibly
to the floor of the stage. As she fell, her
head struck the edge of a sofa with such
force that' she was rendered unconscious.
The curtain was immediately rung down,
and Thomas Bates, part owner of the
show and the husband of Clara Wash
ington, rushed to his wife's side. The
plucky little actress regained conscious
ness and nerved herself to continue the
performance.

IVE HORSES BURN
Fire on Grand Avenue Destroys
Stores and Barn.
LODGE' REGALIA IS FINE FUEL
Apparently Started by Incendiary,
the Flames Soon Reach Gasoline
Tank and Spread Rapidly
to Larger Building.
Fire, which is supposed to have orig
inated from the match or an incen
diary, completely gutted the large
frame building at the corner of Haw
thorne and Grand avenues between the
hours of 11 and 12 o'clock last night
and caused an approximate loss of $10,
000. The building was occupied' on the
ground floor by the grocery establish
ment of Graham & Bellamy, a small
bakery and confectionery store, and a
meat market. The upper floor con
tains the lodge-rooms of the Multno
mah Hive, No. 67, K. O. T. M. Five
horses confined in a barn at the rear
of the building, met death In the
flames.
The fire started in a small .shed In the
rear of the uuuaing. 'ine snea con
tained the oil and gasoline tanks of
the grocery. The flames were first seen
Issuing from the roof of the shed by
Inspector H. W. Scott, of the Portland
General Electric Company. Mr. Scott
was standing at the corner, and when
he saw the flames he started across the
street to Investigate, but before he
reached the shed the fire reached to the
oil tank and burst forth with great
fury, Immediately setting fire to the
rear of the large building.
Mr. Scott turned in the alarm and
the companies readily responded. Ow
ing to the start of the flames the work
of fighting the fire was very difficult.
As soon as It became known that there
were horses confined In the barn at
the rear of the building, an attempt
was maue to save tnem. xnree were.
led to safety, but the other five stub
bornly refused to move rorathe blaz
ing barn and were burned to death.
From the rear of the building the
flames entered the second story and
completely gutted the lodge-rooms, de
stroying comparatively all of the re
galia. The lodge had been In session
but a few minutes before the fire broke
out, and some of the members who
were still In the vicinity attempted to
savo the regalia, but were driven back
by the flames before much could be
saved.
The grocery store of Graham & Bel
lamy was gutted by the flames, and
the stock and fixtures will be almost
a total loss. A large quantity of gaso
line in the bakery exploded, and tho
flames leaped high in the air. Tho
meat market, and the real estate office
of J. S. Foss, the owner of the build
ing, wer.e also burned out.-
All cars were blockaded and It nvas
necessary to turn off all electric cur
rents, owing to the burning of tho
poles in the vicinity .and the falling of
the wires.
It is estimated that the loss will ap
proximate $10,000. The building itself
presents a. loss of $3500, and was fully
Insured. The loss to Graham & Bel
lamy In stock and fixtures will amount
to $3000. The loss of the Maccabees
will amount to about $200 and Is cov
ered by insurance. The loss to the
bakery and meat market will amount
to $2000. The barn containing the
horses is a total loss and will swell the
loss to the $10,000 mark.
HE WANTS NO LAWYER.
Apostle Creffield May Plead His Own
Cause.
Apostle Edwin Creffield does not want
an attorney to appear in his defense. He
thinks lawyers are sinful, and still as
serts that the Lord will take care of him
during his trials and tribulations.
Creffield was arraigned before Judge
George yesterday on a charge of adul
tery with Mrs. D. Starr, wife of B. E.
Starr, and pleaded not guilty. The date
of his trial was not set, but will be early
In the September term. He appeared In
the courtroom clean-shaved, his hair
neatly combed, and altogether he made a
very presentable appearance. He was ac
companied by Harvey Moreland, Deputy
Sheriff. Creffield smiled pleasantly as
Deputy District Attorney Moser read the
information, and when the reading had
been concluded responded promptly when
asked to plead:
"Not guilty."
"Have you an attorney?" asked Judge
George.
"No. I do not want one. thank you.
sir."
"When your case comes to trial have
you means to employ an attorney?"
"No, I have no means."
"Then when your case is set for trial
the Court will appoint an attorney to de
fend you."
"I do not desire one," said the Joshua
of the Holy Rollers, but Judge George
paid no attention to the remark and or
dered the officer in charge to remove the
man to the County Jail.
Creffield will not state what his line of
defense will be, but it will probably be
ot a sensational nature.
Suit Over a House.
Suit for $1200 damages was filed yester
day in the State Circuit Court by George
H. Howell and wife against the Haw
thorne estate and Cate & Powell, be
cause of the alleged failure -of -the de
fendants to erect and complete a certain
dwelling-house In a workmanlike manner.
The complaint recites that on February 5.
1903, the Hawthorne estate and Cate &
Powell, its agents, agreed to erect for
Mr. and Mrs. Howell a frame dwelllns:
house comprising two stories and a base
ment for $2S23 on the east half of lots 7
and 8, block 254, Hawthorne Park, ac
cording to agreed plans and snecifica
tions. It is alleged that inferior plaster
was used ana the same Is now breaklnsr.
and the walls of the house are unfit for
use; also that the roof was lmDroDerlv
constructed, and leaks, and the house Is
unfit for habitation. By-reason of the fail
ure and neglect of defendants to erect the
house in a proper manner, the damages
complained of are said to have been suf
fered.

CHINESE ALL GO FREE
GAMBLING CASES DISMISSED
BY
JUSTICE REID.
District Attorney Manning Says Not
Sufficient Evidence Was Ob
tained by Officers.
On motion of District Attorney Man
ning, the cases against 23 Chinese
charged with violation of the gambling
laws, were dismissed yesterday in the
court of Justice Reld. They are the
same Chinamen who were made victims
to an excessive fine purporting to come
from orders of the kangaroo court on tho
night of their arrest. The only reason
given by the District Attorney when he
asked the Justice to dismiss the cases
was that there was not sufficient evidence
upon .which to hold them to a higher
court.
When the 23 Celestials were arrested
they were Immediately released on bail,
the amount received by the Sheriff in
cash amounting to over $2800. The bail
was handed by the Sheriff to' Justice Reld
and was by him banked. The cases were
set for yesterday morning and the court
had made preparations, for their trial.
Justice Reld stated yesterday that he had
no intimation that anything out of the
ordinary would happen and fully expect
ed that the cases would come to trial, as
it was understood that the evidence was
conclusive.
When the cases were called District At
torney Manning immediately moved that
they be dismissed, stating that the Depu
ty Sheriffs who had made the arrests had
Informed him that there was not suffi
cient evidence upon which to hold the
Chinamen to the higher court. After
some deliberation ana alter telling the
District .Attorney that it was his duty
to see that he had sufficient evidence be
fore he filed Information to secure war
rants for arrest, Justice Rold reluctantly
dismissed the cases.
"The case has a peculiar aspect," said
Justice Reld yesterday afternoon. "The
District Attorney mdved to have the
cases dismissed on the grounds that there
was no e'idence to hold the Chinamen
on the charge placed against them, and
for the further reason that the Deputy
Sheriffs who made the arrest3 told the
District Attorney that there was not suf
flcient evidence in the case to warrant
the court In holding the defendants to
the Circuit Court. I told the District At
torney that It was his duty to see that
there was sufficient evidence in a case
before filing Information for the issue
of warrants for arrests, I also told him
that, as far as J. was concerned, there
would be no more Chinamen arrested on
any charge until he had satisfied me be
yond all doubt that there was. sufficient
evidence for holding the defendants to a
higher court.
"There are also several cases now pend
Ing against Chinamen for having opium
In their possesion, and one of these caseq,
concerning an aged Chinaman; the Dls
trlct Attorney asked to have dimissed for
the reason that the Sheriff was sorry to
have such an old man arrested for the
crime, and also that there wa3 not suf
ficient evidence In the case."
'Speaking further on the matter. Jus
tice Reld said: "I do not "understand the
proceedings, but I will say that if the
Sheriff and the District Attorney are at
tempting to do anything contrary to law
and order they will not have my assist
ance." When asked yesterday concerning the
case, Deputy District Attorney Moser
said: "All that I know of the case Is
that I understood that the deputies had
informed ,Mr. Manning that there was
not sufficient evidence against the China
men to warrant holding them-to a higher
court."
At the time of the arrest of the China
men it was announced at the County Jail

There was also a poker table running.
The deputies secured a great deal of
gambling paraphernalia and also seized
money that was on the tables at the time
of tho raid.
"The case is simple," said the District
Attorney. "There was not enough evi

nothing about bringing convictions if the
cases went to the Circuit Court. Tho
Deputy Sheriffs who made the arrests told
me that they could not produce the neccs
