State Dine With the
Judge-Elect.
MANY ADDRESSES MADE
Portland and Oregon Discussed En
thusiastically and Bright Future
Predicted Event One of
Season's Most Brilliant.
Salhualasm, harmony of purpose and
unity of sentiment for achieving great
things for Portland and Oregon was the
dominant spirit manifested last night at
the popular-priced dinner at the Ameri
can Inn. Lewis and Clark Fair grounds,
under the Joint auspices of the commer
cial organizations of the city, at which
William Wick Cotton was the guest of
honor. No wine or spirituous liquors of
any sort were served during the evening
and attendance of more than 775 rep
resentative men of the state made neces
sary occupancy of the general dining
room of the big caravansary.
Hearty, earnest and prolonged com
mendation was had of the expressions
pronouncing in no uncertain tones the de
cision of leaders in business affairs that
Portland shall occupy the position of
prominence in commerce of the Pacific
to which the city is entitled by right of
distinctive natural advantages; that har
monious effort must continue without
cessation until the mouth of the Colum
bia River is no longer an impediment to
passage of the largest ocean carriers, and
that the stream must likewise be- open to
as near its source as depth of -water will
float a flat-bottomed boat, and with wel
coming acclaim received the pledge of
the newly-appointed Judge of the United
States District Court that he proposes to
devote his leisure time to this and other
Important affaire concerning the future
of the commonwealth. Likewise there
was Indorsement of the purpose to en
deavor to bring about the adoption of a
new treaty with China and making pro
vision whereby limited immigration of
Orientals may be admitted for a period
of years.
Wheelwright as Toastmaster.
William D. Wheelwright, toastmaster.
was at his best, as ever a master of dic
tion, polished of manner and with race
cleverness mingled pleasing repartee with
forceful and eloquent presentation of
cold, hard business facts. He referred
to the assemblage as "A business men's
meeting to honor one who is not a busi
ness man. but who has done an unusual
thing In this day of, commercialism, to
lay down an office of large emoluments
to accept higher honors In serving the
public In an official capacity."
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was introduced
as a representative of the race to which
humanity is Indebted for numerous of
the greatest leaders of thought and ac
tion through many centuries, and as one
whose thoughts are lofty, clear and vi
brating as songs from the mountain to
people of the valleys. Dr. Wise capti
vated his hearers with the happy manner
In which he treated his topic of "Loyal
ties and Enthusiasm." declaring that
"this Is the first Instance in the fivo
years since I have been a resident of
Portland of an exhibition of the spirit
of get-togetherness. In this loyalty and
enthusiasm I find a prophesy. We owe it
to Portland because this is a city of rare
beauty, of moral, political and commercial
greatness, destined to be the metropolis
of the Northwest. Atthls time, ushering In
a new era of the Oregon Country, we owe
It to ourselves that the Journey of Lewis
and Clark shall not have been in vain.
We must make this the center not only
of the commerce of this section of our
own country, but of the world, since by
the action of President Theodore Roose
velt in bringing together the two great
nations engaged In conflict of arms this
country became more distinctively a
world powor a few weeks ago than it
has before been." After paying a beau
tiful tribute to the worth of the guest
of honor. Dr. Wise closed with the an
ticipation that he will prox-e a worthy
successor of the late Judge Bellinger,
of whom future generations may employ
as a term of highest praise and noblest
tribute of any man "that he was the
equal of Judge Cotton."
Governor Pardee Speaks.
Governor George C. Pardee spoke in
most felicitous language of the harmony
of Interests that ousht to prevail at all
times between California and Oregon, and
speaking in response to the toast: "The
National Irrigation Congress," told of
how, under the magic of irrigation, it
might be expected Jhat the ptates lying
between the Pacific Shore and mighty
Mississippi will teem with a population
not less dense than that of the most
productive regious of the old or new
world. Governor Pardee was welcomed
with a rousing applause and his clevcr
hms a an after-dinner speaker was rel
ished thoroughly. In closing he voiced
his pleasure In being present to rejoice
with the buslneM men of the community
In honoring the elevation of a distinguish
ed citizen.
Theodore B. Wilcox, responding to the
toast the "Trans-Mlsplsslppl Commercial
Congress," acquainted his auditors with
the organlratlon wmcn ne characterized
as a "great big board of trade extend
ing over the territory comprised in 24
states and territories," dwelling upon tne
themes of importance to be considered
at the forthcoming convention of the
congress in Portland during August.
Especial stress was laid upon the neces
clty for a new treaty with China by
which a limited number of Chinese Immi
grants shall be annually admitted to the
country for a period of years, as a mat
ter of Justice to that country, without
regard to any fear of action that China
may take detrimental to American trade
interests. Removal of the embargo now
raised against China, he declared, would
be but a tardy act of fairness by a na
tion celebrated for this characteristic.
which besides would prove a substantial
slbsldy to steamship lines operating on
the Pacific, the bringing of 50.0M Immi
grants annually being sufficient to yield
a revenue of from 52.0Ctt,000 to $3,000,000.
In which no other ocean transportation
lines could share any more than those of
the Pacific can claim a division of the
immense Immigrant traffic of the Atlantic.
Senator Fulton's Address.
I.nUed States Senator Charles WrFul
ion. to whom was accorded the place pre
ceding the guest of honor, whom he in
troduced, took occasion to refer to the
fact that It seemed rather extraordinary
that in this day. when so much is being
said anent the regulation and control of
corporations, that a distinguished official
of one of the largest of these companies
should be selected for appointment, but
declared that no discordant note had ben
"heard, because the public reposed the
most absolute confidence in the sterling
Integrity and unimpeachable) character of
Judge Cotton, whom the Senator declared
that he believes will In tint be Justified
by elevation to the highest tribunal of the
land.
Senate, ultoa- .took occasion, to pro
claim in positive terms his conviction
that the time has come when transporta
tion systems of the country must be con
trolled under Government supervision, and
that' the so-called private-car companies
must bo regulated or aboltstied.
Judge Cotton Replies.
There was deep emotion in the voice
and manner of William Wick Cotton, who
has already received his commission and
will at no distant date abandon a lucra
tive practice to fullflll the duties of the
United States District Judgeship for the
district of Oregon. His voice faltered
as he modestly disclaimed any credit for
himself in bis record at the bar. Long
and enthusiastic applause of the assem
blage greeted his introduction and con
tinued Intermittently throughout his re
marks. He disclaimed that it was a sac
rifice to give up his practice to accept
the appointment and declared:
"I don't think money amounts to much,
and the whole use of money is to enable
one to have time to devote to some con
genial occupation." Then he took the
business men of Portland into his confi
dence and told of his faith that this will
become the great port of the Pacific
through which will flow the volume of
transcontinental and Asiatic traffic of
the continent, and of his purpose to de
vote some of the leisure he hopes to
have in the new position to aiding in
bringing that about. He declared that
the life Into which he is about to enter
is absolutely new to him and may not
prove congenial, but that if success does
not follow It will not be because he does
not try.
Judge Fcnton Speaks.
"Judge William D. Fenton, responding to
the toast, "The Judiciary. Ita Responsi
bilities, Opportunities and Rewards." paid
a glowing tritfute to the Jurists whose
names have been written on the highest
scroll of fame as American Chief Justices.
Eloquently be presented the theme from
the viewpoint of the barrister in a man
ner entertaining, and that found a re
sponsive chord In the hearts of his hear
ers. In conclusion, he paid homage to
the honored guest, saying: "The labors
of his office will be exacting. Its respon
sibilities will be felt at every fireside, and
as he goes about his work which undtr
the laws and the Constitution he la re
quired to perform, he will exemplify that
saying of Longfellow's: The talent of
success is nothing more than doing what
you can do, well, without a thought of
fame.' And if fame shall come to him in
the future, it will be because each day the
Judgments of his court have been pro
nounced without fear or favor, and that
its decrees have protected alike the strong
and the weak, the rich and the poor, and
that such shall be his Judicial record
none who know the man will doubt or
deny."
Beauty of the general arrangement of
the great dining-room of the American
Inn. at which the tables were arranged
to lay eight covers at each commanded
admiration for the skill of the manage
ment of the house, while excellence of
the nine-course dinner and manner in
which it was served left no doubt as to
ability of the hotel to handle large
crowds.

Chinese Blame Immigration
Agents for Trouble.
CANTON PAPERS EXCITED
Accounts In the Vernacular Eagerly
Bead In This Country, but Celestials-
Hope for Fair Treat
xnent From Roosevelt.
That President Roosevelt's orders for
admission of Chinese into the United
States merchants, students, teachers and
travelers will go far to cure the present
difficulty is the general opinion among
persons acquainted with the operation of
the exclusion laws. The President has
caused diplomatic and Consular repre
sentatives of the United States In China
to be Instructed to vise only the certifi
cates of such Chinese about to come to
this country as are qualified to enter.
This will transfer the examination of
Chinese visitors from the Immigration In
spectors In America to the diplomatic and
the Consular representatives of the United
States In China; consequently. Chinese
will know before they leave their native
country whether they will be admitted.
"When they shall arrive they will be al
lowed prompt admission, if the certificates
shall be true.
This solution of the trouble long has
been urged by immigration inspectors and
by persons familiar with the exclusion
law. But, owing to the fact that the In
dorsement of the certificates was per
formed by a set of United States officials
under the Department of State, and their
acceptance devolved upon another set un
der the Department of Commerce and La
bor, the duty thus divided was done very
unsatisfactorily. es"peclally since the
American Consuls In China oftentimes
performed their part perfunctorily, and in
dorsed certificates which were faulty or
fraudulent, and which were therefore re
jected by the inspectors in America.
Under the present law, only two
classes of Chinese are entitled to enter
the United States first, those registered
in America and returning to this country;
second, those exempt from the exclusion
laws such as merchants, teachers, stu
dents and travelers. Coolies and laborers
are prohibited from entering unless they
are returning to the United States.
The exempt class must secure from
Chinese officials In China, before they
leave that country, certificates evidencing
their qualification to come Into the United
States, and such certificates must be in
dorsed by some member of the American
diplomatic or consular service. If Ameri
can Consuls had been careful in making
these indorsements the present trouble
would have been obviated, since Chinese
would not have bean detained and humili
ated and deported on the American side
of the Pacific, but if unqualified to enter
wouldn't have come.
Immigration Inspectors in the United
States have been- instructed to accept the
vised certificates and in no case to reject
them "unless good reason can be shown
for doing so."
"The purpose of this Government,"
says the order of the President to the
State Department, "Is to make these
vised certificate-, of such real value that
It Is safe to accept them here in the
United States. This will result in doing
away with most of the causes of com
plaint that have arisen. The Chinese
student, merchant or traveler will thereby
secure, before leaving China, a certificate
which will guarantee him against any
improper treatment."
Pursuant to this order of the President.
Secretary Metcalf. of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, has Instructed
officers of the Immigration Bureau that
"any harshness In the administration of
the Chinese exclusion law will not for
one moment be tolerated, and any dis
courtesy shown Chinese persons, either
laborers, or of the exempt classes, by
any of the officials of this department,
will be cause for immediate dismissal of
the offender from the service."
This change will simplify the working
of the exclusion law. but only if diplo
matic and consular representatives of tho
United States in China shall do then
duty carefully and see to it that they do
not vise false certificates.
