s THE MORNING- ORfiGONIAN, THURSDAY, - FEBRUARY 9, 1905. TO ASK UNCLE SAM County Court Will Work for Closing of Draws, LOOK INTO LEGAL ASPECT Unless Federal Statutes Intervene, Order Will Be Posted Closing AH Bridge.Draws During Rush of Morning and Evening. The question of keeping the draws of the bridges closed between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning and from 6 to 7 o'clock in the evonlng, bo as to better accommodate the traveling public, was discussed yes terday morning at a meeting of the County Commissioners. While the entire board favors such ac tion, the order will not be made until' it has been ascertained whether or not such action will conflict with the navi gation laws of the United States. Several years ago the question of keep ing the draws of the bridges closed during tho hours stated was thoroughly gone over. A mass meeting of citizens inter ested in the project was held and a report was made to the War Department at Washington and relief demanded, but none was granted. William M. Cake, then County Judge; J. G. Mack and William Showers decided that without the consent of the War Department they could do nothing. Residents of the East Side complain that in going to work in the morning and returning home in the evening and at noon they are often delayed a long time by steamboats going through the draws. William H. Taf t, Secretary of War, will be communicated with upon the subject at once. Francis J. Heney, United States District Attorney, who is going to Wash ington, says he will help, and Judge Web ster says the order will be made If there is no law against it. DIVORCE FOR MRS. BRAND. Decree Issued From Circuit Court on Grounds of Cruelty. Katherine Sitton Brand was divorced from Arthur Brand, a prominent young attorney of San Francisco, by Judge Scars yesterday, because of cruel treat ment. The litigants were married on June 17, 1908, at the Unitarian Church by Rev. T. Li. Eliot, and afterwards went to the Bay City to reside, where Brand en gaged in the practice of his profession. Mrs. Brand testified that their domestic life was very unhappy because her hus band was insanely jealous of her with out any cause. They quarreled, and one night, while he was in a fit of passion, he ejected her from the house where they were living and locked the doors. This was the end, and in a short time she re turned to the home of her mother in this city. Mrs. Xi. W. Sitton, the mother of the plaintiff, testified as a witness. Deputy District Attorney Moser was present at the trial, and also Ernest Brand, Jr., representing his brother, the defendant in the case. Ernest Brand acted as a legal witness at the wedding. COUNTS ON MOTHER'S AID. Boy Bandit Waits for Letter Before Making Plea. James Drummond, the boy bandit who held up L.. D. Keysor, a railroad engineer, and also John M. Lownsdalc, was ar raigned before Judge George yesterday and was granted until Saturday to plead. Drummond's mother, who is in Colorado, has been written to by John Ditchburn, attorney, but he has not yet received an answer from her, but expects to by Sat urday. It is thought possible that Mrs. Drummond will come to Portland to see what she can do for her erring son. He has confessed his crimes, and the only thing which can be done to assist him is to plead for a light sentence. Drummond says he never committed a criminal act before, but makes no explanation of his sudden determination to turn highway man. Ho asserts that it was not for lack of means upon which to live, as he had money. STEAMBOAT OWNERS SUED. Log Company Claims Boat Race Caused Loss of Lumber. Racing indulgd in by the steamboats Charles R. Spencer and Dalles City, on the Columbia River, in May, 1901, caused, so the La Camas Booming Company al leges, the loss of 47 saw-logs valued at 5318. To recover this sum the company yesterday filed suit against the owners of the steamboats, Captain E. W. Spencer and The Dalles. Portland & Astoria Co. The action was brought in the State Circuit Court. The complaint sets forth that on May 11, 1904, the officers in charge of the two steamboats raced the boats, operating them at a high rate of speed. This caused a great disturbance of the waters of the river causing waves and swells which struck a raft of logs owned by plaintiff, causing the logs to pitch and heave and break their moorings. , Referred o District Attorney. The cases against M. A. Phillips, man ager of the Paris House, and the cases against the 46 women arrested in the Paris House and Little Paris House have been referred to District Attorney Man ning. Concerning the remarks of Mayor Williams regarding the raid. Sheriff Word said to a reporter yesterday: "The Mayor intimates that my action In closing these places was unwise. He thinks it is better to leave the women In the Paris House than to allow them to scatter over the city. Our good friend, the Mayor, probably, from habit, objects to everything I do, but I don't care much. There are two things I have in mind the express provisions of the statutes, and the consensus of public opinion. I regard the law as the wish of the people Unless a law be repealed, I have no right to be lieve the people have changed their minds regarding it When I read a law and find a plain duty therein, I endeavor to per form it" Too Many After Authority. No deputies are wanted by Sheriff Word for duty at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion grounds. The Sheriff has appointed a number of deputies for this purpose, but only at the request of tho Exposition management, which selected the men and pays them whatever compensation they receive. Since the announcement in the daily .press of such appointments Sheriff Word has been besieged with applicants who desire positions as deputy sheriffs at the Fair Grounds. The Sheriff, to stop further annoyance, yesterday requested a. reporter to Inform the public that he does not need any deputies. Wants Wife to Be Definite. William C. Mackey, whose wifo, Louise Mackey, has sued him for a divorce, yes terday filed a motion asking that she make her complaint more definite and certain- He asks her to state the day, month and year in which he struck her upon the mouth with bis fist, as she alleges; also the day, month and year when he threat ened to kick her in the face and to give the date When he knocked a chair against her. He further requests that she specify the times when he used vile language to her, as she avers. Laundry Is a Nrisance. The Chinese laundry of Wing Chung, on Sixth street between Main and Madison, must go. Judge Frazer so decided yes terday, in tho suit of Charles E. Runyon to declare the laundry a nuisance and have it abated. Runyon owns a number of flats adjoining the laundry, and he tes tified that it is an Injury to his property; that his tenants have complained of the smell and steam emanating from it. Run yon filed suit last Summer against Wing Chung to compel him to move his place of business. The laundryman engaged Charles F. Lord, attorney, to contest the case, and Mr. Lord, after ascertaining the facts and looking up ' the law, advised his client to find another location and move. Neither Wing Chung nor his attor ney put in an appearance at the trial, but allowed the matter to go by default. Legal Jottings. James Gleason, executor of the will of C. G. TIngry, deceased, was authorized by the County Court yesterday to sell the personal property of the estate, consisting of jewelry, tools, machinery, "etc., to D. Schuman for J2300. The property of the estate is appraised at $3433, of which $2000 is in real estate. The claims against the estate amount to about $3600. The Portland Hardwood Floor Company filed articles of Incorporation in the County Clerk's office yesterday, with a capital stock -of $5000. The Incorporators are Truman de Lano, Paul Zednlk and John Zednlk. The objects of the company are to lay, finish, reflnlsh and construct all kinds of hardwood floors, panels and other wood structures. Mary T. Strong has filed suit In . the State Circuit Court asking that a trustee be appointed to care for the property of the estate of Theresa Scott, deceased, in place of Fred R. Strong, deceased, who was the husband of the plaintiff. The property consists of mortgages amounting to $15,450 with $4300 in cash. Theresa Scott died in Portland. February 2, 1893. and bequeathed the residue of her property to Fred R. Strong, in trust, the net income to be paid to John Scott, a son, during the term of his natural life, and at his death to his lawful issues. The estate was closed on March 1, 1900, and Fred R. Strong assumed the duties of trustee. He died April 3, 1904, and Mrs. Strong suggests that Frederick R. Strong, a nephew of her late, husband, be appointed as trustee. Accused of Theft and Bigamy. Deputy Sheriff Jones, of Minneapolis, reached the city yesterday for the pur pose of returning Harry Hoke to that place for trial on a charge of grand larceny. He is accused of embezzling $S00 from the Structural Iron Workers' Union. He was arrested here last week by De tective Hartman and Acting Detective Vaughn. In addition to the charge of larceny, another may be placed against him. It has developed that he has two wives, having never obtained a divorce from either. One lives in Minneapolis and the other lives here. Lieutenant Makes Discovery Major-General MacArthur Commend "W. M. Goodale for Clever Method of Grounding Electrical Current nt American Lake." A DISCOVERY which Is conceded to be of much interest to the scien tific world Is noted In a- report of Major-General MacArthur, whFdh has just reached Portland, and forms the subject matter of a paper by Major George O. Squier. signal corps. U. S. A, entitled "The absorption of olectromag netic waves by living vegetable organ isms." The report of Major-General MacAr thur covers the maneuvers held at the recent encampments in the Pacific Di vision. In this report he says: "The most notable event connected with the field exercises herein referred to re sultd from the exceedingly resourceful manner in which First Lieutenant W. M. Goodale, signal corps, discharged his duties nt American Lake. Under the pressure of emergencies which arose .n pursuance of his field work, he attempted to obtain 'ground for the return of an electrical wire by means of nails driven into trees." The report goes on to say that the results were surprisingly successful and that since that time further inves tigations have been made with equally successful results. Extracts from Lieutenant Goodale's report of his work and discovery read: How the Current Was Grounded. "Owing to tho peculiar dry nature of the soil In this country. It is very dif ficult to find good 'ground for the re turn circuits, and I at first figured on visual signals, but after experimenting it was found that by driving a nail Into the root of a young1 tree, a perfect ground could be established. Each station was therefore placed In a clump of trees, and by attaching the line to one binding-post of the instrument, while to the other was attached a wire leading to the nail driven in the root of a young tree nearby, a perfect ground was obtained. The instrument used in these cases was the field buzzer furnished by the signal corps. So per fect was the circuit that we were able to use the telephone for many of the messages, the enunciation being very distinct. , "This apparent phenomenon Is attrib uted to the fact that sufficient moisture is carried up the tree in the nature of sap to maintain a circuit with theroots of the tree, which of necessity seek tho moist earth at a distance of several feet below . the surface of the earth. I be NEW YEAR'S DIN IN CHINATOWN Celebration Closes With Explosion of Firecrackers, Feasts and Services in Honor of the New Joss WITH the explosion of 6000 pounds of firecrackers between the hours of " and -8 o'clock last night, the celebration of the Chinese New Year in Portland came to an end. Fully 3000 peo ple were on hand to witness the culmina tion of the festivities. Yesterday afternoon Chlnesocarpenters erected a three-story scaffold at the cor ner of Second and Oak streets, across from Police Headquarters. From the top of this scaffold, at 7 o'clock last night, three strings of firecrackers, each 30 feet long, with a bomb attached nt the top, were lowered and set on fire. From that moment until 8 o'clock the great- noise caused by the explosion of firecrackers did not cease. As fast as a string ex ploded with a crash from the bomb on tno end, another string was lowered In its place. On the top of the scaffold red and green fire was kept burning. There was a line of Chinese lanterns and candles about the edge of tho roof of every build ing. Chinamen crowded the corner, shout ing and in other ways joining- in the cele bration. As soon as. the fireworks "began, the peo. pie commenced to gather, and by 7:30 o'clock many thousands were jammed about the corner, watching the display Special policemen were scattered through the crowd to preserve order and to be on hand in case of accident. But thoro were no accidents, and the celebration passed off smoothly. Permission had been obtained from Chief of Police Hunt to explode the fire works, and the Chinamen made the most of their hour, the time , aljotted them for their celebration. "Smoke was so uiick MORE WATER FOR FAIR APPROPRIATION MADE BY CITY FOR AUXILIARY SYSTEM- Water Board Sets Aside $7500 for Es tablishment of Better Fire Pro tection at the. Exposition. On motion of Dr. C. H. Rafferty and George W. Bates, tho Water Board yes terday passed a resolution to appropriate $7500 for the purpose of installing an auxiliary water system in the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds for fire protection. Dr. S. E. Josephl opposed the resolution, but was overruled. The resolution came up for discussion following the reading of a communication from Oskar Huber, director of works of the Lewis and Clark Corporation. Mr. Huber. who was present, stated that while the Exposition Company has In stalled a very good water system for fir protection. In a crisis, he does not feel that It is adequate, and as the city has not, as yet, done anything toward assist-, ing the Fair, he felt that it was under obligations to install this system. Dr. Rafferty asserted that the city had don absolutely nothing and he felt that It should protect the buildings. He then made a motion that $7500 be appropriated for the installation and removal of 2100 feet of 10-inch mains, and 1900 feet of 6-lnch mains with proper hydrants. Dr. Joseph! attempted to amend this so that the Lewis and Clark Corporation would have to pay for the labor attached to installing and removing the mains, but received no second. The resolution was finally passed and apparently met with the approval of Mayor Williams. Dr. Joseph! stated last night that he consid ered the request of the Lewis and Clark Corporation unreasonable, and further more, that. In his opinion, the Water Board had no more right to appropriate $7506 for the construction of a temporary system at the Fair grounds than to ap propriate $7500 and donate it to the Health Department for the construction of a -new garbage crematory. The money that was appropriated, he averred, came from the people of moder ate circumstances in Portland who are paying for water, and If they wish to enter the grounds of the Lewis and Clark Corporation, he continued, they would be the recipients of no courtesies, but would have to pay their admission fees every time they cared to visit the Fair. A further request was received from the Lewis and Clark Corporation asking that the rate on Bull Run water con sumed in the Government exhibit bo not charged, insofar as the corporation re ceived no income trom the exhibit. To assure Dr. Josephl that the Exposition Company was not getting something for nothing. Mr. Huber stated that the Lewlfl and Clark people would pay for the other water consumed, which, in the life of the Exposition at minimum rates, will amount to approximately $3500. On re- lieve that this discovery of being able to secure 'ground, in dry countries by means of utilizing the moisture contained In trees . will prove of great benefit in the future, as heretofore much labor and loss of time has been o'ccasloned by having either to extend long wires to reach moist earth, or to dig to a considerable depth." Praise From General MacArthur. The report of Major-General MacArthur goes on to say: "The foregoing facts having come to the knowledge of Major George O. Squier, Signal Corps, were made the basis of much- meditation and reasoning, together with experimental observations conducted according to the most approved .scientific methods, with the result that this effi cient officer has by Inductive methods reached an original conclusion to the ef fect that living vegetable organisms may be used as part of a circuit for electrical oscillations or Hertzian waves, an accom plishment which, it is believed, has not heretofore been demonstrated; and which In turn demonstrates the possibility of using living trees as substitutes for masts and towers in the operation of wireless telegraphy; a contingency that opens a great scope for the Imagination of its future employment in the service. Thus, an Incident of a maneuver camp, skill fully analyzed by a scientific officer, may result in discoveries of much military utility and of great scientific value." The report includes a long treatise "on the absorption of electromagnetic waves by living vegetable organisms" by George O. Squier, Ph. D., Major, Signal Corps, U. S. A. This paper contains an account of exhaustive examinations on the utility of the discovery made by Lieutenant Goodale at American Lake, and, shows that it is thoroughly practicable. Discovery of Great Importance. This discovery is a matter of much im portance in the Held work of an army. The strategical work of an army depends largely upon Its ability to- maintain com munication with Its various parts, and particularly to be In close communication with its advanced outposts and other bodies upon whom rests the responsibil ity of furnishing any Information regard ing the opposing forces. In furnishing means of such communication the tele graph takes a large part, but In many places, owing to the dry nature of the surface of the ground, and the consequent inability to secure a suitable return cir cuit, it Is oftentimes unavailable. This latest discovery will remedy this to a great degree, since living vegetable or ganisms can Invariably be found, no mat ter how do the land surface may be. about the corner 'of Second and Oak streets that It was with difficulty one could see across from walk to walk. Smoke filled the police station. In spite of closed doors and windows. Patrol-wagon calls were made with great difficulty, telephone bells could scarcely be heard on account of the din, and at the engine-house around the corner a fireman sat directly under the large gong to be sure to catch the right count should an alarm be turned In from any point of the city. After the celebration was over the dead silence was as painful as tho noise had been before. After the display 4)1 fireworks feasts were Held In all Chinese houses, which wero visited by hundreds of people, espe cially new arrivals from the Bast, to whom the sights were new and wonder ful. In the josshouscs there were special services, which also attracted large num bers of visitors. The new Joss, Ga Guln, was wreathed with flowers', and innumer able candles burned on the altar before him. The Chlneso hospital was thrown open, and this, too, was visited by a num ber of people. The Chinese stores came ln for a large share of tho honors, and the public was generous In its purchases." Chinese chil dren ran about the streets in gaudy cos tumes, and not a few women were seen, though they took care to remain In the background. Every Chinaman, from the poverty-stricken to the most'wealthy, had on the best and most expensive clothes in his possession and was parading about the streets. The festivities concluded exactly at mid night with services In the josshousc. af-. ter which the Celestials betook themselves to rest, ready to deal with- the ordinary events" of life for another year. ' VLADIMIR DePACHMANN , THE GREAT RUSSIAN PIANIST "Who is to appear at the Marquam, February" 11, under direction of Miss Lois Steers. Of the genuine greatness of DePachmanu, Arthur Symonds, the celebrated London litterateur and critic, says in his volume o essays: "I have gone to the Saturday popular concert entirely, to hear Pachmann, because, it seems to me, that he is the only pianist who plays the piano as it ought to he played. I contend he is the greatest liviug pianist." Every music-lover -will want to hear him Saturday evening as well as the piano lie plays THE BALDWIN Do you know most great artists play our pianos. Read our great piano piopositioii and then see us. consideration, however, after the resolu tion appropriating $7500 had been passed, Mr. Huber stated that the Fair would pay for all water used. Several petitions for better water fa cilities were referred to the superin tendent and engineer for consideration. A number of minor matters were tabled. One request was received asking that as sistance be tendered the creditor of an employe of the water department, but it was decided that the board was ndt in the bill collecting business. THE0TTGH CAES TO ST. JOHNS Street Railway Company Promises to Remove Piedmont Junction. Some time between now and the opening of the Lewis and Clarfc Fair, June 2. St. John's and the Peninsula will have through car service, without transferring at the present junction at Piedmont. This much was reported by L. B. Chapman, chairman of the com mittee on transportation, to the St. Johns Commercial Club at its meeting last night. Mr. Chapman reported that five citizens from St-. Johns and four from University Ptrk called on Man ager F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Con solidated Railway Company, Wednes day, and laid the wishes of the people before him. The committee urged im mediate action, but Manager Fuller, while saying that the company expect ed to put on through service by the time the Fair opens, did not hold out much hope of doing a!fcr with the Piedmont Junction and transfer station before that time. However, he received the delegation courteously and prom ised to communicate with the secretary of the Commercial Club within two weeks, when it will be announced just what the railway company will do in regard to expediting through service. Regarding a public wharf at St. Johns, David Brecht reported that Gecrge W. Cone, the sawmill man who had received concessions from tho city, offered to furnish piles and lum ber for a public dock at the foot of Richmond street, if the city would do the work. It was estimated that the work would cost only about ?300, as. one-half of the piles "have already been driven. There was a long discussion as to the best location for a public dock, some contending it should be at the foot of Philadelphia street, which is 50 feet wide, but, on motion, the committee on docks was instructed to bring the matter to the attention of the Council. The Commercial Club contends that St. Johns must have a dock where steamers may land passen gers and freight. It was announced that the Steel Ship Company would submit a proposition to the Commercial Club regarding the acquisition of more water front land. The company desires to pul In marine ways and needs GOO feet frontage. It was the most enthusiastic meeting the club has held. Mnny new members joined. The room was packed with business men and property-owners. A. S. Douglas presided. WOLF SANDEES PASSES AWAY Weil-Known Lane County Man Dies of Heart Trouble.

Nearly everyoody knows that charcoal Is the safest And most eSlclent disinfect ant and puriner in nature, but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it the better: it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal swectons the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating-onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs he Injurious gases which' collect In the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and tho most for tho money is ln Stuart, s Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or rather ln the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, tho char coal being mixed with honey. The ally use of these lozenges will soon tell in a mucn improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and tho beauty of It Is, that no possiblo harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: "I advise Stu art's Charci Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and puri fy tho brcth, mouth and throat; I also believe tho liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent prep aration, yet I believo I get more and bet ter charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Loz enges than In any of tho ordinary char coal tablets."
