SENATE
IS SPLIT
Upper House DivMed as
to President
DEADLOCK NIAY FOLLOW
Multnomah Men May Have
Compromise Candidate.
PROBABLY DAN J..MALARKEY
For Speaker A. A. Bailey Will Not
Have the Support of Mujtnomah
County, and T. B. Kay, of
Marlon, Lea'ds in Race.
From the looks of things MuUtnomak
County will not try to capture the
Speakership and, at this advanced stage
of the fight for organization of the low
er house, could not do so if it-desired.
But all signs indicate that this county
will be able to wield a strong power In
organization of the Senate. The con
test for the Presidency Is so spait up
between JDr. W. Kuykendall, of JLanc:
K. V. Carter, of Jackson, and George C.
Brownell, of Clackamas, that the out,
look is not unfavorable for a Multnomah
compromise candidate after the three
shall have fought themselves to a dead
lock. And if Multnomah County should
seize the opportunity, Dan J. Malaxkey
would probably be its candidate, for it
is understood that C. W. Hodson, -who
has been mentioned frequently for the
honor, will not try until 1907.
I has come to be obvious that Rep
resentative A. A. Bailey, who entered
the contest-for the Speakership as the
favorite of the Republican organization
In this county, will not receive the
united support of his home delegation.
This certainty Is so plain that mombera
of the delegation admit it without re
serve. But they have not yet been ad
vised from headquarters of a suitable
candidate on -whom to unite nor have
they chosen one for themsolvcs. All
rigns point to the absence of "arrange
ments," so far.
Bailey in the Race to Stay.
Bailey stoutly avers, however, that
he Is in the game to stay and will not
pull Wut even if all of his 12 home col
leagues should not rally to his aid.
Bailey -was promised this county's sup
port for the Speakersnip wheji he gave
up his effort for nomination for State
Fenator last April, but since that time
conditions have changed, say the wield
ers of political power in this county.
Though they have not ordered him to
quit, they have given him to understand
that they can do little for him, because
they think he cannot win. j
It haB been frequently reported that
Bailey's hope lies in an nllianco with
Va.wt.er. from Jackson County, but the
possibility of that outcome is disproved
by the knowledge that Vawter cannot
deliver his six votes from Jackson,
Douglas and Coos Counties to Bailey
and that Bailey cannot transfer his
Multnomah backing to Vawter. It has
been reliably reported that J. S. Gray
and H. G. Sonneman, of Douglas, and
I. H. Jackson, of Jackson, cannot bo
taken by Vawter Into another camp
than his own.
Kay Leads in the Race.
Had Bailey been supported by Mult
nomah County early In the contest, he
would perhaps have had little difficulty
In making his goal; as things stand now
T. B. Kay, of Marion, is at the lead of
the race and probably will get in first.
Kay's friends say that he already has
enough votes promised to elect him on
the first ballot in Republican caucus.
Kay himself 6aid that in Portland last
Thursday, and rffded he would receive
several more than a majority of the
caucus. If that be true, Multnomah's
votes are not necessary in the organ
ization of the House, and the policy of
procrastination which the delegation
from this county has pursued through
the organization fight has not yielded a
harvest. It Is understood, however, that
several Multnomah Representatives
have been talking among themselves of
going into the Kay camp.
Vawter Coming to Portland.
W. I. Vawter is expected to arrive from
Modford In a few days, to renew his suit
for support from Multnomah County. Mr.
Vawter, when in Portland several days
ago. said he was confident that with Mult
nomah's aid he 'could be elected. It may
be said for him that there has been some
talk in this county of delivering Multno
mah's support to him. Mr. Vawtor says
he Is backed up not only by the six Re
publican votes from his part of the state,
but by other votes from Eastern Oregon.
This Is denied, however, by the Kay
people, who arc confident that their man
will be aided by the solid delegation from
that part of the state, numbering 11
members. In support of their contention
it may be said that the Moody elcmont
of Eastern Oregon, numbering perhaps
B of the 11, is in open alliance with Kay.
Senate Fight is Lively.
The fight for the Speakership promises
to be tame beside that for the presidency.
Senator Kuykendall had things all his own
way up to ten dayB ago, for till then he
tins the onlv man who had oroclaimod
himself. Multnomah County was holdilg.
back, presumamy to let mm win out, lor
that was understood to ne tne wish of
Senator Mitchell, who desires thig county
to havo the presidency two years hence,
ivnen ho will be a candidate for re-election.
But the anncarance of Senator Carter.
of Jackson, in the arena has put a now
complexion on things; likewise the pos-
yi me reiurn to giory oi aonaior urowneii,
of Plnr.kamns. The bndvenarri or Sen-
lor1vuykendal is commonly reported to
number but four or five votes, and such
Is the belief of Carter and Brownell. The
Clackamas gentleman has often heard
that he made a mistake' when he gave
Tray io senator rkuyjcenaan last bummer,
and he has responded that if Kuykendall
Jthould he 1lmthll tn mnVo n Unillnr nnrl
jchoilld -withdraw, ho him!lf TOnil1 nnn1
only three votes to win. 'and that he Is
sure ne could get the required number.
He says that he could have been elected
easily had he not yielded to Kuykendall.
Multnomah Holds Balance of Power.
The promise of a fierce three-cornered
fight for the presidency Increases Mult
nomah's influence. In the Senatorial dele
gation from this county are seven Re
niihHrariB six nf whom will Vntn n a unit
The full number of Remihl!ran in thn
upper chamber will be 25, and 13 will be.
a majority oi ine caucus. .aiuiuiomau
therefore holds in the Senate a balance of
TtmeAr. Ah it Attfn nof In the Hnncn
This county thus appears to be In a
strong strategic position to organize the
Senate, arter the three men now In the
contest have fought one another to a
deadlock. Senator Malarkey -would prob
ably be Multnomah's candidate in that
event.
DRANK EAT POISON IN BEER.
Andrew Rice, Tiring of Life, Tries
Painful Way Out.
Death in a most agonizing form con
fronts Andrew M. Rice, who drank "Skat"
rat poison last night at 9 o'clock in the
Turn water saloon. Seventh and Johnson
streets. Assistant City Physician Samuel
C. Slocum was summoned and went to
the scene in a police ambulance. All has
been done for the man that is possible,
but one of the chief Ingredients of the poi
son he drank is ground .glass; and It is
thought he will' die from the effects of
this stuff.
The reason for the taking of the poison
is not known at this time, as Rice would
not communicate it to the police or to Dr.
Slocum "last night, after he. regained con
sciousness at the Good Samarital Hos
pital. He did say that the deadly mixture
was administered to him by a man at the
Tumwater. saloon, but this Is not given
credit by the police, there being no cir
cumstances on which to base such a sus
picion. It is believed he thought he would
recover and wished to make his humilia
tion less by blaming another.
According to employes of the Tumwater
saloon, Rice Is a stranger there. He came
in shortly after 8 o'clock, according to
Karl Cline, the proprietor, who was on
duty at the time. He called for a glass
of boor and drank it, and then asked for
a second glass. Cline says he took that
and went into a private box with it. He
put in a large quantity of the rat poison,
mixed it and drank part of the beer.
Loud groans attracted Cline and others,
who rushed in to see what was the mat
ter. On the table in front of him sat the
box of poison, and in the glass was part
of the beer, untouched. Nothing could be
ascertained from the roan as to what he
had taken the poison for, but no time was
lost in summoning the police and a physi
cian. Rice was in a very precarious condition
when the police and Dr. Slocum arrived,
but he was temporarily relieved by the
injection of an emetic. He was taken to
Good Samaritan Hospital, where further
attention was given, but he did not im
prove as rapidly as desired. Therefore
Dr. Slocum made a minute examination
of the contents left in the little red box,
and found that It was largely composed of
ground glass. It is not thought possible
for Rice to recover, owing to the work
ings of the glass, although it is said he
may.
Rice came from a Michigan town, and
first settled in Everett, "Wash., where, ac
cording to papers in his possession, he
was married. He also has a divorced wife
in Michigan.. He has worked for the East
ern & Western Lumber Company for the
past five months, and roomed at the
Thomas House, CM Guild street There he H
was liked by all who, met him, and it was
said last night that he never drank and
that he did not oeem despondent before
leaving his boarding place earlier in the
evening.
CHRISTIANS DEFEAT SOLDIERS
Company C Team Again Loses Out
After Hard Game.
The big, black "hoodoo" seems to have
sunk his claws deep into the backs of
Company C's Indoor baseball team. In a
game played on the association floor last
night the team was again defeated by the
Y. M. C. A. players by the score of 17
to 10.
A noticeable improvement Is to be seen
in the playing of the soldiers, but they
are still weak, as a team. In the three
Important departments of the game, field
ing, batting and base running.
The Y. M. C. A. men started oft their
half of the ilrst with a terrific batting
streak, which netted Ihem slxruns. They
duplicated this performance in the third.
and were good for one or two runs in
each of the other innings. Jackson did
some clever work for the association
team, both in the box and at the bat.
Barrell was replaced by Thing as
catcher in the fourth' and kept up his
good work. Elrath and Lighty also
showed up well in fielding and base run
ning. For the soldiers, Pugh did the best
work, settling down, after the third in
ning and pitching gilt-edge ball. Dole, at
second base, also played a good game..
A return game between these teams
will bo played at the Armory next Thurs
day night.

"A NIGHT IN JAPAN."
General Bunemon Nii to Give Jiu
i v Jitsu Exhibition.
Americans who believe their athletes
are the greatest on earth will be given an
opportunity to see .what great feats a
little Japanese can do 'when he uses the
art of jlu-jltsti. General Nil-and his 13
are to give an exfilbitlon next Thursday
evening at the Marquam Grand Theater,
assisted by Professor RIngler. It is only
since the Japanese-Russian War that the
secrets of jiu-jitsu spread across the Pa
cific, but it has come to stay.
President Roosevelt has taken It up, aud
it is no wild statement to make to say that
within a couple of years jiu-jitsu will be
taught in American schools just as It is
taught In Japan. When the allies were
whipping China into submission, the Jap
anese repeatedly proved their ability to
outmarch the American troops by 50 per
cent. They did this in spite of the fact
that American troops ranked second in
point of endurance with other nations.
Even the newly-appointed graduates from
West Point, where the physical training
is so superb, marveled enviously at the
endurance of the little brown men. Their
endurance Is solely due to their porsistent
practice of jiu-jitsu.
Seats will bo on sale Tuesday morning.

FOURTEEN GAfiAES" RUNNING
Have Large Patronage,- and Are Or
ganized to Avoid Surprise by
Officers Drawings Occur ,
Every. .Day.
Fourteen Jotteries .are running full
blast in Chinatown, unmolested by
Sheriff Word-, on Chief -of Police Hunt.
Every day they have their drawings.
Air are located on Second street.
He has practically broken up fantan
gambling- in Chinatown, but Sheriff
Word has not by any means stopped
the industrious Celestial subjects from
-uaivwi memseives ousy at somerning.
In Chinatown It is now well understood
that fantan gambling is under the ban.
but as to the lottery business Utey are
not so certain.
The police made a 'strong- effort some
months ago to stamp out Chinese lot
teries, and many arrests and. convic
tions took place. Deputy City Attorney
Fitzgerald and Municipal Judge Hogue
declared them to be most pernicious
and evil In their effects, and each China,
mart found guilty of conducting a, lot
tery was fined $30.
Wily tactics are being pursued by the
Chinese In tho operation of their lot
teries at Present. During- the excite
ment attendant upon the raiding of fan
tan games, the attention of the officials
has evidently been diverted from the
lotteries. Taking advantage- of this
fact, Chinese willing- to assume tha
risks "have started inbusiness.
Are on the Qui Vive.
"There are now 11 lotteries running
In Chinatown," said a denizen of tho
district last night. "The drawings oc
cur every day, but not at any set hour.
In order to make the matter more se
cure, drawings take place at unknown
hours. - No -one but those directly con
nected with the sramns nro mnrio nwara
of the exact time in advance. Neither'
do the lotteries run in the same place
each day, but are moved about so as to
avert suspicion should any of the of
ficials happen to be Investigating-."
Investigation last night proved that
a large number patronize the Chinese
lotteries. Soores of white people in
dulge in the chance games and Chinese
by the hundreds spend much of thoir
money in that way.
Failed to Get License.
Several months ago" the Chinese made
a light to run their lotteries openly by
the payment of a stipulated fine, but
the city officials would not consent to
such an arrangement and it was an-
nounced that the games of chance
would not be permitted to run under
any circumstance. It is only within the
past two or three weeks that they have
started to run so flagrantly. Guards
are posted outside of each establish
ment -where lotteries are running to
ward off any danger that might be seen
and to arrange for Immediate cessation
of a drawing and the sudden beginning
of some innocent Chinese game in or
der to throw off suspicion In case any
officials should attempt to make a raid.
AT THE THEATER S
What' the Press Agents Say.
"CAMILLE" AT THE COLUMBIA
Matinee and Tonight's Performance
Closes a Beautiful Production.
The-beautiful production of "Camille"
during this week at the Columbia The
ater, by the Columbia Stock Company,
has made an excellent impression upon
the theatqr-goers. It is generally ac
knowledged in town that there has
never been a better production of
"Camille" in Portland. A play that will
stand the test of time and charm and
edify the public for halt a century
must have some considerable- intrinsic
merit, and It is matter of abs61ute fact
that Dumas never wrote so excellent
a play.
Many have been the expressions of
the performance of every member of
the cast, and especially is it empha
sized thnt Miss Countiss' Interpreta
tion of the part of "Camille" Is the best
work she harf ever done. The third and-'
last act, In which the great death scene
occurs, compares very favorably with
the Interpretation given by Clara Mor
ris, Mojeska and Duse. Mr. Baume,
the leading man. has also unquestion
ably distinguished himself as the im
passioned and heroic lov6r, Armand. of
the play. The Count de Varville. as
interpreted by Mr. Bernard is a virile
and finished creation. Nothing could
be more touching- than, the tender so
licitude and devotion dJsplayod by Don
ald Bowles In the final death scene. H1h
temperamental art is at its best and he
endears himself more and more to ev
eryone "who looks upon him. Portland
has iiad an uncommon treat in this pro
duction of "Camille," and It has patron
ized It liberally. The last perform
ances will occur at the matinee this
afternoon and this- evening.

Steve Wheeler, of Albina; Will Johnson,
of Portland: Ida Frocen and Jim Crosby,
of the Black Patti company, while Ida
Frocen also did some clever dancing.
Will Johnson demonstrated that It was
not necessary to be a professional to win
prizes. The audience was very enthusi
astic during the entire contest and de
cided the winner. It was a close decision
between Miss Frocen and Mr. Johnson, but !

"Yon Yonson" Tomorrow.
American travelers wlio- during their
journeys abroad have visited the "Land
of the Midnight Sun." have ofen given
expression to their astonishment ' In ob
serving the remarkable resemblance be
tween the genuine Swede as they met him
in his own country and tho stage creatie;
of "Yon "Yonson," which, they havo wit
nessed in America. This most ihriiling
of the dialect comedy-dramas comes to
the Empire Theater four nights of next
week, beginning with the regular mati
nee tomorrow.'' A special matinee will
be given Monday, which will be a legal
holiday. Gus Heege. tho man who wrote
"Yon Yonaon." had made several trips to
Sweden land lived for a number of years
among the Swedish lumbermen in Wiscon
sin and Michigan before he attempted to
set a pen to the manuscript of his pla.
When he therefore did 'write "Yon Yon
son." he had absorbed so much genuine
Swedish atmosphere that "3fon Yonson"
became not only a eharacfec creation, h-'it
an artistic type which .could not be" im
proved upon in fiction or in real life.
