Attacks the barricades Deputise Are Armed With Chisels and Sledge-Hammers Hospital Is En tered by Mistake, and the Pa tients Are Frightene'd. Before crowds -of several (thousand peo ple. Sheriff Word and his deputies yes terday afternoon and evening made a (tour of Chinatown and battered down and took away in express wagons the strong xloors guarding the entrances to Ethe gambling-houses. One Celestial, "Way Wah, was caught with lottery tick- rets In his possesion and was arrested, K&fterward being released on bonds by f Justice Held. Tho Sheriff terrorized Chinatown completely, entering every Lgambllng-house but five, all on Second wtreet, between Morrison and Plnei fc. Shortly after ? o'clock the Sheriff and tils deputies left the County Jail, going immediately to the corner of Second and 'Morrison streets. They were armed with : "wagon followed and Btood on the corner waiting for developments. One of the establishments conducted by Xrcc Mee Gin, at Second and Morrison, was the first to feel the strength of the Sheriffs arm. Deputies entered tho dark hallway, camo to the strong door, bat tered it down without hesitation and carted it into the street, where . it was thrown into the gutter for the express wagon to pick up. While this was going lip, oucrut HUIU, UVtUUllllUUCU uuu building to make an investigation, and came suddenly upon a Chinaman mark ing a large bundle of lottery tickets. This Celestial was May Wah, and he was promptly placed under arrest and taken to the County Jail, afterward being re leased on bonds by Justice Reld. From the establishment of Lee Mee Gin the deputies advanced down Second street, their strength divided Into three separate companies, each acting inde pendently of the other, in order that the work might be quicker and the Celestials taken by surprise. It was evident at first that the Chinamen were of the opin ion that the raid was to include but one or two houses, as former raids have done, but in this they were rapidly disillusion ed. As fast as the deputies could tear away the doors they were thrown into the street and picked up by the express wagon. One crowd of deputies took in one side of the street and Sheriff Word and the remainder of the force gave their attention to the remaining side. Crowds began to gather and match the work of xne sneruxs, some uppmuuins, buuib demninjr. Chinamen stood about in bunches, saying nothing, but evidently thinking a great deal. There was not the least show of resistance at any of the establishments. As the Sheriff and his force reared Stark street the Celestials in the houses between Stark and Pine streets on gee ond began to get busy. Seeing that the oriff was removing the doors, tney went him one better and removed the doors themselves. As rapidly as they did so they carted them away and hid them where no officer would find them. Some were hidden in the Joss houses. In this manner several doors were missed by Sheriff Word.

MEETING CALLED BY BOARD Members of the Multnomah Legisla tive Delegation WIIJ Confer With MenWho Framed the Permit , for Portland to Exist. To rdetermlne what charter amendments would be good and what bad, members of the Legislature from this county will'con- fer with the framers of the instrument in the City Council chamber next Thurs day evening. The charter was drafted two years ago by a board appointed by the preceding Legislature and was en acted at the Legislative session of 1903. It has proved Itself a worthy instrument and only few chances as to minor de tails will be made. The charter board is taking this action evidently to ward off any radical altera tions and to Inform the lawmakers just where they ought to tinker and -where they ought to hold hands off. The meet ing has been called by A. L. Mills, who was president of the board. Whatever the changes, they "will prob ably be submitted to a referendum vote of electors "of the city for ratification at the municipal election next June that Is If the election shall not be deferred until the following year The question of postponing the election is the most important that has come up, but the change is not likely to be adopted. One of the chief alms of the board was to separate municipal from state and Na tional elections. An amendment will be offered and doubtless adopted for lessening the cost of advertising special assessments made for street improvements. An attempt may be made to authorize a higher tax levyt but It will probably not avail even though advocated by Mayor Williams, for other members of the city government and prominent political leaders are op posed. The present limit Is seven mills, unless payments of interest on bonded debt may require a higher tax. A plan will be suggested for Improving several streets within a given districts all "at the same time Instead of one thorough fare. The present system entails hard ships upon property-owners along an Im proved street, since traffic gravitates to it from poor streets and the life of the im provement is curtailed. The personnel of the Legislative delega tion and tho charter board is as follows: Legislative delegation A. A. Bailey, A. , Capron, E. B. Colwell, T. H. Crang, M. F. Henderson. W. R. Hudson, W. M. Killlngsowrth. S. B. Llnthlcum, S. M. Mears, A. L. Mills, W. T. Mulr, Madison Welch. G. W. Holcomb. Charter board Ned E. Ayer, F. E. Beach, W. F. Burrell. E. C. Bronaugh, C. Devlin, Slg Frank, R. L.

In that well-known drama the playwright seems to have had a desire to give his audience a succession of genuine American patriotic thrills, no adorned his admirable story with the ac coutrements of war, taking for his locale the wilds of Montana at the time of tne Blackfoot Indian uprising. Then he cre ated and interwove a love story of more than ordinary Interest not the hackneyed yarn of a Southern girl loving a Union officer, but a Lieutenant In Uncle Sam's Army who desperately loves the daughter of his superior officer, wmie tne latter nas decreed that she shall marry an unre vealed coward. The stirring climaxes of the Belasco- Fyles military drama have kept tne pa trons of the Columbia Theater in a stato of enthusiasm all week, and there remain but three more opportunities of witnessing this magnificent production. It is true to life. It is saturated with what we call heart interest. And there is not a man or woman in Portland who cannot gain by witnessing the newest offering of the pop ular favorites. Cordray's Biggest Week. This has been the biggest weeJt of the current season' at Cordray's, the houso being crowded nightly to see Mason and Mason in their greatest musical comedy success, "Fritz and Snltz." The Mason brothers are recognized as the leading ex- Donents of Dutch comedy In America, and they have surrounded themselves witn a magnlficint company of comedians, sing ers and a-ipcers. xne xun is last ana furious, the music catchy and the dancing represents In the best sense the poetry of motion. Thero are only three more per-. formances. the one tonight and two to morrow. The Saturday matinee promises to be ve-y large, as it affords an oppor tunlty for the school children. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "The Gay Parisians." That excellent aggregation of players, the Columbia Stock Company, will sur prise its patrons next week by departing absolutely from tne style or piay to wnicn Portland theater-goers have become ac customed. They are going to produce, be ginning Sunday afternoon, a "rich, rare and racy" farce-comedy adapted from the French, and known as "Tne uay .ParlS' lens." It is the same play In which Sadie Martinot met with tremendous success few season ago in New York. Nearly all of the characters are portrayed In a com edy vein, and If the Columbia Stock Com pany is suited to any form of the drama It Is light comedy, miss counuss, Mr. Baume. Mr. Bernard. Mr. Bowles and Mr. Bloomquest have been cast for the leading roles, and each one of them is expected to exhibit talent that tney have heretofore had no opportunity to display before their friends. The plot of "The Gay Parisians" hinges upon tho visit of an old architect to Paris. having with him another man's wife. The complications that arise as the story is developed are screamingly funny funny enough, in fact, to have kept all New York laughing for more than 300 nights. The management has gone to great ex pense in securing this play, but in so doing has merely followed a motto early adopted. "Nothing but the best." "Finnlgan's Ball" Next.. The very last attraction at Cordray: under the Cord ray-Russell management will he the famous and ever-popular mu deal farce-comedy, "Finnlgan's Ball- presented by the best company which has ever been sent on tne road witn tne well known production. 'Finnlgan's Ball" was originally designed for the purpose of pro ducing the greatest amount of mirth in tbo shortest possible tim, an tlte owners o the piece have never qulwd the show so well as this year, Tb cenry and cos- tomes are better than ever and were espe cially provided for the present tour. The chorus is larger than formerly and com bines the rare qualities of beauty and vo cal ability. The comedians are among the best in the country, and the management stakes its reputation that this is the best Finnlgan's Ball" ever seen. White Whittlesey's Advance .Sale.

BIG TRAVEL RAILROADS EXPECT MANY COLO- NIST8 TO COME TO OREGON. Rates for Homeseekers Next Year Are Exceptionally Favorable on Ac count 'of the Fair. The railroads aro looking for a larger colonist travel during 1905 than has come over the lines from, the Dasttfor some years and have made the same rates from Missouri -River points, Chi cago and St. Louis that have been in effect for the year Just closed. At the National convention of tho Passenger Association, held in St. Louis some time ago. an agreement was reached as to tho rates and now tbe announcements are being received by the various local offices as to the rates and times of sale. On March 1, 1905, the rates "will bo opened and kept open until May 15, and again on September 15 and kept in force until October 31. This is a longer time for the low rates to be effective than has been granted In the past, and Is due largely to the desire of tbe trans portation companies to do all In their power for the Lewis and Clark Fair. The colonist rate will be, as hereto fore, $25 to any point In Oregon from any place In the Missouri River terri tory, $33 from Chicago and $30 from St. Louis. The travel for the year that is clos ing has been heavy, but not so much so as was at first expected. During tbo time the Spring rates were In effect there -were 3000 people handled by one road through the city, while a great many passed over different lines or stopped off at other points. These trav elers were not all colonists, however, as many took advantage of the low rates to visit the country on a tour of investigation. Many of them returned to their Eastern homes, some to remain and others to return later in the year. In the Fall tho travel was much light er, not more than 1000 passengers tak ing advantage of the low rates over the same line which In the Spring brought three times as many to the Coast. Prac tically all of the Fall passengers, how ever, came to stay, many of them be ing those who had visited the state earlier in the year a,nd had returned to their homes, sold out their Interests in the East and come "West to remain.
