'Street Lottery DivejWnen Offl
. cere Get In Seizcf'TIckets
of Ten Companies.
"Within three blocks of the Multnomah
County Courthouse, one of the most spec
tacular raids ever made on a Chinese lot
tery by the Portland police occurred, at
9 o'clock last night, when police officers
entered the establishment run by IMng
"Wing. They rsted the -wily Celestial,
took captive five vrhlte men and one negro,
seized tickets representing ten compan
ies and in the patrol wagon took the
whole outfit to the Police Station.
As published in The Oregonlan two
weeks ago. numerous lottery games have
long been running in Chinatown. Captain
of Police Moore and Sergeant Hogeboom,
commanding the first relief, have been
working hard to run down some of the
games, but not until last night were they
able to locate any of the establishments
where drawings have been conducted. Evi
dence was conclusive this time, however,
and the raid was the most successful
made within a year. Not only were Ser
geant Hogeboom and Patrolman Thomp
son able to arrest the proprietor and the
six visitors, but they were successful In
the seizure of the bundles of tickets, rep
resenting ten lottery companies.
Head Chink Gets Bail.
Ding "Wing, booked as the proprietor
of the lottery establishment, was the only
one arreBted who was released. Upon
the request of Attorney James Gleason,
acting for Hang "Wah. Municipal Judge
Hogue fixed bail at 5100. This was fur
nished immediately, and he was released.
The six men arrested as visitors to the
place were forced to spend the night in
Jail.
As previously published, the lottery
games have been running on a principle
that until last night defied the efforts of
the police to collect evidence sufficient
to warrant arrests. Although It was
known to be a fact that lotteries to the
number" of 14 were running, and some of
the proprietors were known, the system
followed by the Chinese in selling tick
ets and in conducting the drawings was so
secret that It seemed impossible to effect
a capture.
After many nights of faithful effort,
close watching of stores In Chinatown
and collecting of pieces of evidence. Ser
geant Hogeboom. acting under Instruc
tions from Captain Moore, located the
establishment run by Ding Wing. Pa
trolman Thompson was stationed at the
back door to cut off escape there. In
disguise. Sergeant Hogeboom entered
through a tailor shop at 22G First street
It was the last place In all the district
to bo suspected of being a place where
the Chinese companies gathered to make
drawings.
Officer Gets Inside.
"Without looking concerned. Sergeant
Hogeboom walked along the hallway lead
ing beyond the tailor, shop, and to a
closed door In the rear of the building.
He rapped lightly. There was no re
sponse, but the babble of voices within
proved his suspicions correct. He rapped
again and again. At last Ding "Wing
opened the door and saw the sergeant.
He recognized him and attempted to slam
the door, but Hogeboom squeezed in and
declared the whole crowd under arrest.
Intense excitement prevailed, for at
that time Patrolman Thompson came In
through the rear door, and there was no
way of escape for any of those caught
in thetrap. Hang "Wah made a desper
ate onort to hide the large bundles of
tickets, but failed, and all persons and
the evidence were carted off to Jail.
The tickets seized represented compan
ies as, follows: L. K., New L.ee, Lee Tal.
New Wo, Hang Wah, Sing Lee, Oregon
and 1, 2 and 4, marked membership asso
ciation. The bunch of winners showed one
man had won $553, Others had won from
$5 up to $333. aggregating several thou
sands of dollars.
Those arrested gave their names as C.
Hitter, Tom Smith. L. Ellers. L. D. Lam
roux, H. Topel and Peter Hert.

The Commercial Club of St. Johns

ROMANCE IN LATER LIFE.
W.
D. Black and Mrs. Christina
Gruner Joined in Wedlock.
A romance of old age has come into the
lives of W. D. Black, aged 66. and Mrs.
Christina Gruner. aged 69, and they have
been married. It is not the usual case
of long friendship. It Is not that they
both feel they have lived beyond their
pcneratlon and have lost all their friends
but each other. They have known each
other only about six months. They do
not feel old at almost three-score years
and ten and have not altogether lost the
romance of youth. Mrs. Black was the
widow of George J. Gruner and has lived
for many years on the East side. v. D.
Black is tbo father of Rev. Father J. H.
Black, of SU Francis Church. The mar
riage took place Wednesday.
