Where Angels Fear
to Tread
Impressive Scenes at the Dally
Performance of the Municipal
Court The Precocious Youth
Who Smoked Cigarettes.
By "Fatty, the Rat"
JOSEPH is his name. He Is a Yid
dishes smart too, but not as smart
as tradition would indicate. He ped
ales with a wagon the streets around.
Joseph is hopelessly in love with the al
mighty dollar. Paying a license does not
quite concur with Joe's idea of profit and
loss. He conceived a most brilliant idea,!
a la "Frenzied Finance," you know. On
the first of the year Joseph did not mean
fler up to the license department and slide
over his 50 round ones, as did his col
leagues. "Should it be?" he soliloquized. "Yes.
by the first of next month I will wait and
go mlt this month mitout It. So." For
ten days Joseph lived the life of the joy
ous. Business improved. Joe's financial
standing In the community was greatly
enhanced. He dreamed aye, dreams of
when he would have a million, of pala
tial city and country homes, a stud farm,
magnificently, appointed suites engaged by
the year, a retlaue of imported lackeys,
and, ach Godt, for joy, matzas and 11m
burger by the hundred younds.
But such a pipe was destined to go out
The license department had a hunch. Joe
was trying to do them; They would de
scend upon him with righteous wrath and
throw him upon the mercy of an unmer
ciful Judge. The plot thickens. Joseph
sits in the witness chair. Frenzied Jo
seph. Ho Is Indignant Thundered Judge
Hogue, thoroughly frenzied:
"Are you going to pay for the entire
Quarter. $50?" '
"I wouldn't do iti sure. I couldn't TiuJ
beezeness is not zo cracked up to be,
whatr replied Joseph, slightly ruffled.
"Twenty whole ones." sighed the Judge.
"Take him away. Next."
Albert Is a precocious youth. Just 16.
He smokes whole cigarettes whenever the
opportunity affords. Now Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald dislikes cigarettes,
because he has never smoked them.
"What are you going to do with this
boy?" asked Judge Hogue.
"He smokes cigarettes," sighed Fitzger
ald. "What are you going to do with him?"
repeated the Judge.
"He's no good. He smokes cigarettes,"
persisted "Fiiz," and then waxing elo
quent: "No one smokes cigarettes who Is worth
anything. 'TIs but those who are moral
degenerates who indulge In such retro
grading luxuries, only those to whom am
bition is stranger, to those who are not
men and to those, alas, who throw life
and position beneath the catafalque of all
hope."
"What are you going .to do with that
boy?" cried His Honor.
"Let him go," responded "Fltz." finally
perceiving that His Honor was'addressing
him.
"Heavings," muttered the Judge. "The
inconsistency of man."
"If I may "be permitted to speak," In
terposed "Frankle" as His Honor was
about to return him to the dungeou.
"Go on."
"You see, I had just gone across the
street to eat when this plebeian custodian
of the law arrested me. I have suffered
some humilities In my life, but this. Your
Honor, really It Is unpardonable."
"Frankle" is quite cute. He was ar
rested for parading the streets In the
"wee sma hours." The arresting officer
had not materialized. How fortunate.
Here was an excellent chance to hood
wink His Honor. Judge Hogue looks easy
oh, so easy.
"If you will be so kind, Your Honor,
I would like to return to my employment
I have a very lucrative position, I assure
you."
How unfortunate for "Frankie." The
arresting officer entered the courtroom
as Judge, Hogue was about to comply
with Frankie s request
"He was hiking around at 2 o'clock this
morning, trying to sell some spoons. I
thought it looked bad. Your Honor."
"Phew! 'Frankie,' truly thou art a
peach. 'Back to the pines' with him,
bailiff. Ta, ta, 'Frankle.' See you later;
perhaps, on Saturday."
Crestfallen, "Frankle" departed, aim
lessly counting the days of his sojourn
as the county's guest upon his fingers.
MISS FAY WALLACE.
A Correction Made by the Columbia
Stock Company Ingenue.
PORTLAND. Feb. 2. CTo the Editor.) I
was very much surprised this morning to
see it announced In The Oregonlan that
I was to arrive In town Fobrurary 2 and
play at the Empire Theater when I had
already been here two days and had be
gun rehearsals with the Columbia Stock
Company, to open in the title role of
"Sweet Lavender," and make my debut
at the Columbia Theater Sunday, Febru
ary 5.
Belasco, Meyer &. Price, for whom I
have been working in Los Angeles, re
leased me to come here and Join the
lovely Columbia Stock Company. Mr.
Ballard, the manager, and my friends of
the company met me at the train. I am
delighted to be a member of the. Columbia
Stock Company, and certainly do not
want any mistaken etatemcnts to creep
Into the newspapers saying that I belong
anywhere else. I regard being a member
of the Columbia Stock Company as a de
lightful engagement and here is where I
hope and will love to gain favor and ap
preciation from the Portland public.
Kindly publish this, to let the Portland
people know that. If they will be kind
enough to come and see me on the stage,
the only place to see me is at the Colum
bit Theater. Sincerely yours,
FAY WALLACE,
Ingenue Columbia Stock Company.

CHINA IS TO GOME
Empire Will Make Exhibit at
Exposition,
DIRECTOR DOSCH RETURNS
Meets With-Chinese Commissioner' In
San .Francisco and Arranges for
Representation to Fill One
Fifth of Oriental Building.
The imperial Chinese government" will
probably make a large exhibit at tho
Lewis and Clark Fair as a result of tho
trip of Director of Exhibits Dosch and his
negotiations with the big merchant com
panies and the Imperial Chinese Commis
sioner, Wong Kal Kop. Mr. Dosch has
explained the situation hero and the pur
poses o'f the Fair and the Imperial Com
missioner, so that he will make a favor
able report to his home government Ne
gotiations have been carried to the extent
that it is considered necessary to re
serve one-fifth of the Oriental building
to the exclusive use of China.
The exhibit that China is to make will
come direct from Asia, and in it all the
great mercantile houses of the Empire
will be represented. The large Chinese
houses in America will also be allowed
to exhibit, but the greater portion of the
space will be taken up by the Asiatic
merchants, who wish to open up trade re
lations with the United States.
Chinese Were Prejudiced.
To induce the Chinese was no easy task.
as explained by Mr. Dosch in an interview
last night on his arrival from California.
The Chinese had been prejudiced on ac
count of the money they lost at St Louis,
and it took Mr. Dosch longer to bring
them to a clear understanding of the situ
ation here than he had at first antici
pated. Mr. Dosch said:
"On my arrival In San Francisco last
week I called on the Chinese Consul, but
he said he had not been advised to take
any steps in the matter, and that he
would report the matter home. Ho added
that he did not believe China would take
official participation.
"Awaiting the arrival of Wong Kal Kop,
the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who
was on his way from St Louis to take
the steamer Manchuria home, I met with
the officials of the six big American-Chinese
Companies, and they were very diffi
cult to deal with. They had all lost
money at St Louis, and If there was one
thing they did not wish to hear anything
of, -It was an Exposition.
Follow Japan's Lead.
"When Wong Kal Kop arrived he was in
the same frame of mind, but wap amen
able to argument and explanation. He
did not seem to understand that this Ex
position was to be an international affair,
and when he learned that fact his attitude
changed. When ho learned that Japan
was to make a large exhibit he saw im
mediately that China should do the same.
He did not intimate by word that it made
any difference whether Japan took part
or not but he was visibly Impressed with
the Information.
"His attitude changed immediately, and
before he left he had promised all that
was In his power, and I saw that my
mission would probably have a successful
ending, tho'ugh It looked very badly at
first
"He said he would report the true con
dition of affairs to the home government
and was sure that under the circum
stances the Imperial government would
aid in every way the gathering of an ex
hibit He said the Asiatic merchants
would be very glad to come to Portland
In order to "establish closer trade rela
tions, even at a loss.
Merchants Are Interested.
"Later, when he had seen a map of the
grounds and saw the advantage of exhib
iting here, he met with the American
Chinese merchants and interested them
greatly. However, they would not prom
ise aid, as they had not recovered from
the depression left from St Louis. More
over, Chinese New Years was at hand
and they were busy preparing for a cele
bration. I believe, however, that they
will show themselves amenable and will
join In with the Asiatic merchants In
making a splendid Chinese display.
"Wong Kal Kop explained to me in the
end that he believed there would be no
difficulty In arranging for a Chinese ex
hibit and that there would undoubtedly
be one here. He asked me to reserve
space for him. and I gave him one-fifth
of tho Oriental building.
Exclusion Law One Trouble.
"He anticipated trouble on only one
account the Chinese exclusion law,
which compels him to give a bond for
each Chinaman he brings to this coun
try. The red tape connected with this
is considerable, and it Is necessary to
send the Imported Chinese out again
within a month of the close of the Ex
position.'" "Mr. Dosch was more elated over the
Interest California is taking in the Ex
position than over the " success of his
mission. He said:
"All California is taking it up In true
Callfomlan style. Thewhole state is en
thusiastic, and if all come here who say
they will next Summer, there will not be
one lacking. In the hotels and railroad
offices In San Francisco the colored maps
of the Fair grounds are hung on the
walls and there Is always a crowd In
front of them looking and asking ques
tions. As soon as it Is known you are
from Portland, you are deluged with
questions.
"I stopped a few hours in Sacramento
to call on Governor Pardee, and "when I
complimented him and the Legislature on
the enthusiasm shown over the exhibit
he remarked that It was no credit as
what the whole state wanted had to be
done."
Secures Unique Exhibit.
"I secured one exhibit I wanted very
badly while In San Francisco," continued
Mr. Dosch. "The first railroad locomotive
ever run In Oregon. It belongs to Mr.
'David Hewes. of San Francisco, who has
had it in storage for 20 years. It was sent
to Oregon in 1S61 to run on- the portage
road at the Cascades, belonging to the
Oregon Steam Navigation Company, then
on the Oregon shore. Two. years later it
was sent back to San Francisco, and Mr.
Hewes used it for a number of years fill
ing lots In San Francisco. He has kept
It out of sentiment all these years, and
the manager of the warehouse told me It
has cost him $2200 to store it He Intends
In the end to present it to the State of

WILL PRESENT LETTER.
Citizens of Tillamook to Consider Ex
planatory Epistle.
The following- letter explanatory of
the action and intentions of Portland
capitalists in relation to the long-proposed
railroad into Nehalem and Til
lamook will bo presented to the Cfty
Council and citizens of Tillamook City
on Friday:
Portland, Jan. 30. To Hon. George Conn,
Mayor, and to the Citizens of Tllarnoolc. In
Public Meeting Assembled Gentlemen: We feel
It Is due to you to make the following ex
planation: The Portland. Nehalem & Tillamook Railway
Company was Incorporated for and at the spe
cial request of E. H. Harrlman. made to us
through his chief officer here, wth a jpecial
guarantee to Itn company's vice-president at
Portland, and Its secretary, that he would
supply all the money required, with traffio
connections to Portland and to the East On
no other condition would Portland then under
take the enterprise, as the local capitalists are
unable, personally, as you all know, to furnish
$3,000,000 for railroad construction, even to
Tillamook and the Nehalem. No profit was to
Fe made, but we were to utilise our prevtouo
engineer's' field notes and surveys to the Ne
halem and Tillamook country so as to build
speedier the road to the coast; seeing Northern
Pacific then contemplated building from Port
land, via Scappoosc to Tillamook. City. 125 to
120 miles; whereas, our Tillamook to Portland
lino was only 83 miles. Including portion of
tho Southern Pacific Company's track. Subse
Qucntly, Union Pacific made an agreement
with the Northern Pacific that neither should,
at that time, construct to Tillamook. Mr.
Harrlman then dropped the Portland, Nehalem
& Tillamook Railway Company, but Its di
rectors being all Portland men. thereafter de
termined they should build the line as an Inde
pendent company, with separate railroad con
sections, both to the Southern Pacific and
Northern Pacific main lines. On this latter
proposition we have repeatedly secured money
from American capitalists on bonds, but Mr.
Karrlman's people have as often refused any
and all traffic connections; consequently, as
the laws of Oregon require us to break bulk
by trans-shipping and rehandllng freight from
one railway line to another, and permits the
line to Portland to charge local rates from
trans-shipping point, our bondholders found
that without a traffic agreement with some
railroad line to, or an Independent entrance into
the City of Portland, they could not ascertain
definitely whether the local traffic alone would
be sufficient to pay Interest on the bonds, in
these circumstances It was recently resolved to
procure money from foreign railroad capitalists
to build. Tillamook into this city, which has
stnee been done; with an assurance that the
work of construction will commence to Tilla
mook County within 00 days, and completed
thereto bfore the end of this year.
The Portland people, in their efforts to give
your people a railroad to the sea, to be after
wards extended to Netart's Bay, and to the
Duutbern boundary of Tillamook, have never
asked of you a subsidy of any nature what
ever. They beg here to repeat that they have
no such Intention, and will be satisfied with
a 00-foot right of way from that portion of
the line which lies within the valleys around
Tillamook City, because they know that 30
miles of the proposed railroad In the Wilson
River Canyon Is held by Eastern timber-own
ers, many of whom have already given and
offered our Portland people such righta of way
free.
Finally, we .offered Mr. Ilarrlman's syndi
cate. In writing, we would retire from the
field If they would give us their guarantee to
themselves build the line to Tillamook In 1004
last year or when built, we would turn the
ownership over to them, subject only to the
Southern Pacific's guarantee of Interest upon
the bonds to be paid to bondholders for 23
years. These offers were a loo dcllned; conse
quently. It Is useless for any Independent rail
road to stop either at Hlllsboro. Forest Grove
or North Yamhill, or anywhere except at Port
land City, as has been arranged.
Tours respectfully, "WILLIAM REID.

At a special matinee yesterday Blanche
Bates, apparently for tho purpose of
showing Just how versatile she Is, pre
sented a double bill ."My Aunt's Advice"
and "Madame Butterfly." If .such really
waa her purpose, the choice could not well
have been wiser.
"My Aunt's Advice" Is a farcial playlet
by Miss Bates and George Arllss, the
famous actor. It has a modem Ameri
can setting, and is a trifle light asair.
but highly amusing.
"Madame Butterfly" is a tragedy, a ter
rible. Inevitable little thing, .which tells
the ftorry story of the love and devotion
of a geisha girl of Japan, who waits and
hopes for the return of a faithless lover.
The latter paved the wajr for "The Dar
ling of the Gods." It was written by Da
vid Belasco and John Luther Long, and
tried out by Miss Bates, who made a
great success of It. The favor with which
It was received persuaded the authors to
attempt something more pretentious in
the way of Japanese tragedy, and "The
Darling" was the result .
It Is virtually a monologue for Miss
Bates, and requires probably more abil
ity to enact than the part of Yo San.
The audience, while not lare, was a

There was a change of bill at the
Empire last night, the Noble Stock
Company presenting a compromise
comedy and drama called "For Love
and Honor." Those who care for the
Noble Stock; Company will like the
new piece, which runs until Saturday
night, when "Carmen" will be given.
There were specialties between acts
by Robert Johnson and the Desmond
Trio.
