10 THE . MOEMG OBEGOMAtf, WEDNESDAY, -AUHJST 24, 1904. 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.

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.

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. CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses. John Newman, 2S; Matilda Behnke, 19.

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.

PHYSICIANS ENDORSE IT AS HARMLESS AND EFFICACIOUS ' FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS BLUMAUER-FRANK ott4eceeictit(fieot 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 DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND, Aug. 23. Maximum tempera ture. 70 deg.; minimum, 50. River reading, 11 A.
