Cummins, WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS 1 Searchers Discover Him on Street, and He Is Removed to His Home, Where He Dies Without Regaining Consciousness. llyjitccy surrounds the death of John W. Cummins, who was found unconscious on the corner of Oxford street and Union avenue by a search party at daybreak yesterday morning, and died at his home. Oxford street, at 11 o'clock, without recovering consciousness. No plausible explanation of his death has yet been given. There were no marks about his body to show violence, he was not Intoxicated, and the immediate cause of his death Is not bolleved by attending physicians to have been heart failure. That he had been knocked down and left unconscious by thugs was the first ex planation that occurred to tho search party when he was found lying on the sidewalk yesterday morning, and this be lief is still worthy of credence, as he had left home to collect some money, and he bad none on his person when found. No one who paid him anything was found yesterday, however. It is not known whether he had any money with him when he left home. When it was found, however, that ho had no bruise or contusion upon his head or body, the theory of robbery was set aside by the search party as having no probability, and the case was not reported to the police. The death was so uncommon and inex plicable, however, that there Is a certain credence that he was knocked unconscious by some trick known to science, such as the Japanese teach in their Jiu-jitsu moth ods of wrestling. Dr. Charles Billington. who was called to attend Cummings when removed to his house, said last night: "The immediate cause of his death was exposure and the after-effects of a shock which was received In some manner unex plained. It is possible that he bad a sud den attack of heart failure, but I do not believe that he had been drinking. The MADAME ME LB A AfTRlVES Famous Prima Donna Spends Sunday in Walking About Portland's Streets I only information obtainable as to the location of Madame Melba's . , ... . !., i Prix ate car-seemed a bit Indefinite, and the Innumerable Pullmans which filled this yard 1h long rows seemed worse than a Chinese puzzle, but I wandered about, crefing from track to track, always on the lookout for a car marked with that fascinating word "private." until all of a sudden well. I stepped to listen. On the ouiet ef the Sunday air a note and such a high note, too came trilling and swell ing late space, so round, so true, that It seemed the king of all nightingales must be near. Again -and again It trilled, and finally hroke Into the beautiful apd famil iar strains of Tostl's "Good-bye. The fact that the wind blew bleak and that the big coach yard full of. empty cars was a lonely place to be alone, mattered not as long as that magnificent. God-given voice filled tbe great space with its flute Hke tones. When they finally died away I was more determined that ever to see the singer, and was soon in ber gracious presence. Just a Bit of Practice. "Oh. It was nothing Just a bit of prac tice, you know." said a genial, womanly woman, who talked with a broad English accent and looked the personification of good nature and common sense. It was tbe great diva whom I had almost feared to meet, and to find her so charming, so natural, and so wllliruf to talk, came near banishing professional duties. "You would rather 'expect to find me draed at this time of the day, would you not" I Just returned from a walk about your pretty Portland, so you must ex cuse my walking gown. Walk much? Oh, yes I siweya make af least three miles Immediate cause of his death is all that Is clear to mc." From the position in which Cummins lay when found yesterday morning it was thought that he had attempted to rise, but lmd fallen back. He had been lying many hours before he was found, as It was during the early part of Saturday evenins when he left home. The search party was not instituted till some hours later, and the body was not found till the night had passed. Cummins, who was 1 years old. is sur vived by a widow and two children. SHERIFF RAIDS POKER GAME j Blazier's Resort on First Street Found Guarded by Iron Doprs. Sheriff Word raided the saloon of John K. Blazier at 245 First street last night and found six card tables and .mattered chips, but the garr.blers, who had three stout doors between them and the Sheriff. eoaied bcfoio he Cutd breuk In. "The doors were' like thoso used by gambling-houses in Chinatown." said SherifT Word, after the raiil, "and we had difficulty In breaking them. They wore about two nnd a half Inches thick and bound at top and bottom by iron strips. Wo cut our way through three of them to the third floor of the building and found the tables, but not the men. "When we" first entered, we hoped to catch gamblers at a table on the ground floor, but the lookout had apparently given the tip and all the uuarry escaped us. We came pretty closo to the fel lows on the third floor, however. a they believed we would not be able to pene trate to them. There must have been 50 men there. "If Blazier does not stop the gambling in his saloon. I will close him up as I did with the Portland Club." concluded the Sheriff. "I have been after him before, and I have warned him not to allow any more gambling' to go on." Deputy Sheriff Parrott was left in charge of the rnid-Jd saloon for the night. Nine deputies in all made the raid with the Sheriff. Has Completed Smelter. Charles L. Tutt. of Colorado Springs. Is nt the Portland, and will remain In the city for a few days.

M. LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION. STRIFE FOR S0L0N8 Oregon Lawmakers to Strain Sinews This Week. LOCAL OPTION TO - COME UP Constitutional Convention Will Be Lively Issue, Also County Attor neys and Protection of For ests Against Fire. From present appearance, the Oregon Legislators will continue in session the full iO daysi for whlch the Constitution allows each 1 member f3 per diem. Half of the 10 days have sped, and only two Important bills have passed both houses. If the session shall ond February 17 the 10th day probably no new bills will be introduced after February 7, for both houses have adopted resolutions to shut out new measures during the last ten days. Both houses will meet again at Salem today. o really big fights have yet broken out in either house, and toil and trouble have been confined to such House and Senate, committees such as those on counties, which have killed Jefferson or Xesmlth County and boosted Cascade: those on irrigation, which are wrestling with the proposed new code of the State Irrigation Commission: thoso on public lands, which have been sweating over protection of forests against fire: those on railroads, which tolled over the 11 hour bill, afterward put to sleep, and are now working on the bill to tax ex press, telephone and telegraph compa nies: those on fisheries, which have felt the grind between Upper and Lower Co lumbia River Interests: those on "judi ciary, which have been tussling with the question of a constitutional conven tion; those on mining, which have been striving to devise ways to lift from min ing companies the burden of the corpo ration tax; those on game, which have been staggering under a big load of bills, and those on ways and means, which have been confronted chiefly with normal school problems. Strife May Break Out. But this week strife threatens to break out In many pjaces, chiefly over bills on the following subjects: To amend the local option act. To protect forests against fire. To call a constitutional convention. To make gambling a. felony.- A To provide for County Prosecuting At torneys. To tax the gross earnings of express, telephone and telegraph companies. To abolish Cwo or three of the four normal schools. To turn the Interest accruing from de posits of state moneys from the State Treasurer Into the State Treasury. To prohibit back doors In saloons. To establish a board of control for man agement of state Institutions. To create Cascade County, with Hood River as the county seat. To exempt mining companies from the corporation tax. . To punish wlfebeaters with flogging. To create the office of State Examiner. To raise the age of consent to 18 years. to tax migratory livestock. To appropriate $12,500 for the Oresron Historical Society, $23,000 for Improvement or tne Willamette and JH.500 for a Gov ernor's raarfslon. But Two Important Bills Passed. Tne only two important bills passed both houses are one to cede lake lands in Klamath and Lake Counties to the Na tlonal Government for Irrigation and one to appropriate $133,000 for defraying ex penses of the leglslauve session and pay Ing claims and deficiencies. The first has been signed by the Governor, and two days remain for His Excellency to con sider the other. Both houses have passed different bills to appropriate 515.000" for Indian fighters Of 15o5-5C The Senate has passed bills to establish juvenile courts: to provide for collection of hunters licenses; to appropriate S25.CO0 for the portage road, and to prohibit ticket-scalping. The House has passed bills to appro priate $23,000 for salmon hatcheries, and to raise fishery licenses; "to revise the militia code In conformity with the Na tlonal Dick law; to create a State Library Commission; to create a new judicial dis trict In Eastern Oregon, to pay state offi- cersflat salaries; to convey Insane pa tients to the asylum by asylum attend ants: to appropriate E500 for agricultural Institutes: to punish men who live on the earnings of fallen women: and to extend to all towns the street and sewer bonding act. Foremost of interest this week will be the proposed amendment to the local op tion act and the proposed constitutional convention. The latter will be deba'ted in Joint assembly of the two houses on Wednesday, and the two bodies may hold another Joint assembly to consider the local option amendment. On both ques tions the Legislature will be closely divided. CHINESE SALVATIOMST DEAD. Chun Ky Passes Away at North Pa cific Sanitorium.

LONDON. Jan. 29. The tone of the stock market was weak in the early days of last, week, consequent on the bad news from Russia which, although to some ex tent discounted, nevertheless brought a rush of selling by timid holders. The market in midweek was well recov ered and continued to improve under gQod support. Stiength was derived from gold shipments of this country and an encour aging bank statement and indications of cheap money brought new speculative buying. Government Land Is Fenced. LA GRANDE, Or..

Trumbull, of the Child Labor Commission, and Superintendent Gardner, of "the Boys and Girls Aid Society, have drafted a bill which has been presented to the Legislature, providing for the creating of juvenile courts in all districts having 1C0.- 000 inhabitants or more. This provision, of course, limits the establishment of the courts to Portland for the present, but they will perhaps spread beyond that limit as the state grows in population. The bill, which is indorsed by Governor Chamberlain and will probably become a law, provides that In cases where children of tender years are found violating the laws of the state the parents or guardians are to be held responsible and subject to a fine of not more than $1000. or imprison ment ia the County Jail for a period not to exceed one. year, or by both 'fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court. The bill is created to provide for the care, control and development of .children under the age of IS years, and to watch over and secure their education. It pro vides that the Judges of the Circuit Courts In districts having 100.000 or more inhab itants shall have jurisdiction over all 1 offenses committed by children under the age of IS years. It provides that any person having knowledge of a delinquent child may bring the child to the attention of the court by filing a petition with the court, asking that the offenses charged may be made the subject of investigation. Probation officers are provided for. whose duty It shall be to look after aH children once under the eye of the court: to see that they have proper care and at tention and are given an opportunity to become good citizens through good train ing. The court is given the power to appoint guardians or commit children to the care of suitable societies. The bill also provides that no child under the age of 12 may be sent to jail and also that all children under the age of 16 must be taken directly before the Circuit Court, or the court of Juvenile jurisdiction, and not subjected to trial in a Municipal or Justice Court- WORD FROM MONMOUTH. What the Normal School There Has Done and Is Doing. MONMOUTH. Or.. Jan. 27. (To the Edi tor.) In The Oregonlan of January 26 you make the statement that no school In Ore gon Is known for excellence outside of the state: and that no Normal School In Ore gon is more than a local high school. Is it not possible that these statements are too broad? Here Is our record: The diploma of the Oregon State Normal School at Mon mouth is accepted by the school authorities of the State of Washington on the same basis as diplomas from their own schoot. Our diploma and that of the University ot ' Oregon are the only ones; In OwEon tlroi'Sc; vored, I believe. This is at variance with, the first statement above. There are at present, attending the Normal School, In its normal course, the only course we have, 101 students from .he following counties: Marlon 6! Columbia .. -4 ...It, Linn Lane Douglas ... Coos Jackson ... Lake Bcnten ... Lincoln . 3 Multnomah Clatsop .1 Wasco ....... .... 1 Gilliam 3 Sherman ... . .. 1 UiWheeler .......... 1 Morrow- I Umatilla 2 Tillamook 4 Union ............. 1 Tamhlll IB Malheur ...... ... t Polk 641 Clackamas ....... 10) State of Washington rt Idaho 1 Washington ....... 6 Of the 64 registered from Polk IS came from other counties and settled' here solely to have the benefit of the 'school, and 16 live in and adjacent to the town. We grad uate about 02 this year. Wc have gradu ated from this school about 730 teachers. Some of these are dead; some are married, and still 63 per cenf of the whole numtjr Is actively engaged as teachers today. This seems to us to be at variance with your second statement. A. C Petition for Gorky's Release. BERLIN. Jan. 29. Dr. Theodore Barth. .editor of the Nation, speaking at the meeting of llterateurs and artists held here Saturday night to formulate plans to secure the release of Maxim Gorky, the Russian author, who is confined in the fortress at St- Petersburg, said he hoped the editors, writera and cultivated persons in America would petition the Russian government in Gorky's behalf.
