jJerelopments Come Thick and Fast
in "War Being Waged, by Hall
roads Against Cut-Rate
Ticket Men.
Developments In the war against the
ticket scalpers came thick and fast yes
terday and last night. Demurrers to
complaints were argued in the Municipal
Court, new warrants were issued against
the defendants, two cut-rate ticket shops
were raided by the Sheriff and signs,
tickets and office paraphernalia confis
cated, and the end is not yet at hand.
The cases of Caspary. Stone and An
derson, arrested some days ago for il
legally offering railroad- tickets for sale,
were called yesterday In the Municipal
Court before Judge Cameron. A. C. Spen
der and Dan J. Malarkey appeared as
.special prosecutors in behalf of the state
and the railroads, and Attorney John
Ditchburn appeared for the defendants.
Ditchburn filed demurrers in all the cases
when the arrests occurred, and these
were argued yesterday afternoon. The
demurrers were to the effect hat the law
was unconstitutional and that under the
law there were not sufficient trrounds
stated In the complaint. A decision will
be rendered by Judge Cameron Friday,
to which time the other cases were con
tinued upon request of the defendants.
Story of Stolen Ticket.

from him by Caspary, Stone and Anker

story that he went to see the firm re

told him that he would better stay In
-Portland because wages were good here,
and that they would sell his ticket and
et something out of it for him. He
'protested, he says, but they refused to

Testard and John Doe, on Sixth, between
Hoyt and Irving, and raided them. Tickets
were confiscated, over 100 belnsr found.
Signs designating the place as a cut-rate
-ircjeet shop were removed, niaced in m.
.van and taken to the courthouse, pieces
oj- paper were xouna where customers had
beea learning to forge the name of the
tickets they purchased, and all were saved
for evidence. Photographs of these places
were, taken before the signs were removed,
to be used as evidence in the cases. The
warraats were not served for the reason
that someone had tipped, off the raid to
the proprietors, Testard being the only

"We are determined to break up these

MEN WITH MONEY NEEDED
Immigration Problem Comes Up Be
fore Conference of Charities and
Correction and Views of
East and West Clash.
Last night's session of the Conference
of Charities and Correction was rather
a lively one from the Easterners' view
point, fpr when the subject of 'Neigh
borhood Improvement" resolved Itself into
a warm discussion of the immigration
problem, California came to the front
with a lew things to say and said them
in most audible tones. Miss L.oulse Mont
gomery, of Buffalo, chairman of the com
mittee on neighborhood improvement, pre
sjded, and Mrs. Florence Kelly read Dr.
Walter W. Weyl's paper on "Immigra
tion" and opened the discussion. While
Mrs. Kelly took some exception to Dr.
Weyl's opinions, she asserted" that im
migrants should be more evenly distrib
uted, and that the West was the place
Xo send them in order to relieve the con
gested conditions of New York and other
cities. The tenement evils, with which
this worker Is so well acquainted, were
deplored, and she put the question "Why
should we go on providing sick poor to
nurse?"
Speakers who followed had varied views,
the majority of them seeming to be of
the opinion that to restrict Immigration
would not bo the democratic thing for
this country to do. One said that he be
lieved the immigration evils were greatly
exaggerated, as no one took Into con
sideration the number who returned each
year. The thing to do was not to re
strict It but to realize that our future
citizens would be their descendants, as
many of the best and most sturdy fam
ilies of the East were descendants of the
50.000 convicts whom England once un
loaded on the colonies. Distribution, he
claimed. Is very necessary and the selec
tion of the Immigrant is an' important
matter which should be left to the dis
cretion of this country if the open-door
policy is to be maintained. Miss Lathrop.
of Hull House. Chicago, said that the
only native American is the Indian; also
that our immigrants are drawn from
the most vigorous classes in Europe. The
discussion passed around and so much
was said in favor of sending the laboring
immigrant class West thai the California
delegates couldn't stand it any longer
and took a -hand in It. W. A. Gates, sec
retary of the California State Board of
Charities, told the convention that neither
California nor tony other state In the
West wanted laboring Immigrants, but
wanted settlers who had money to buy
their land and become agriculturists.
Chinese Exclusion Favored.
"The Chinese exclusion law," he said,
"Is favored by every state on the Pa
cific Coast, and we are going to stand
against the Importation of "coolies from
China or Japan or any other nation, for
our experience has been tjjat they are a
detriment to our country and eventually
crowd out the white agriculturist." Other
Californians were on their feet to voice
his sentiments, and the attempts of the
eastern delegates to apply conditions In
New York to those in the far West were
unavailing. While California's stand was
good-natured. It wan nevertheless a firm
one, and many Easterners declared that
they never realized before how strong the
sentiment against coolie labor Is In the
West.
There was an Interesting programme
yesterday. Dr. Graham Taylor's address
on "Labor and Charity" being one of the
best features of the day. The morning
sectional meetings considered topics which
lead up to the subject of criminals, dis
cussed at the general session at 10:30 A.
M. The committee on criminals dis
cussed "State Reformatories:" the com
mittee on needy families. "A Collocution,"
and that on care of the sick. "The Finance
of Hospitals and Co-Operation of Char
ities With Hospitals."
Reforms In Crlmlaal Procedure
James A. Leonard, who was slated to
report for the committee on criminals at
the general session, wa not present, so
his paper was deferred, and Dr. Graham
Taylor occupied, his time. Judge Oscar
Hallam. of Minnesota, delivered an able
treatise on "'Needed Reforaos in Criminal.
Procedure." which was followed by an
imated discussion. Judge Hallam said:

Councilman Gray Jntroduced
New Measure Yesterday.'
POSTPONE DECISIVE ACTION
Council Approves Recommendation
for Increase of Firemen's Pay
and Acts on Street
Improvements.
The Chambers of the City Council
proved a strong drawing-card for all
clajs yesterday afternoon, because It
was generally supposed that some definite
action would be taken with reference to
the adoption of a new box ordinance.
The liquor men were well represented
among the spectators, while the Mu
nicipal Association was also out In strong
fdrce. but If anybody came with the ex
pectancy of witnessing a sanguinary con
flict between the contending interests, the
Idea was disappointing, as everything
passed off as peacefully and lamb-like as
If the proceedings were a Quaker camp
meeting. The programme outlined yesterday was
carried out to the letter, with the possi
ble exception that nothing final was done
on the pronoed measure, and it is be
lieved that this pha.e of the situation
is going to prove the source of an im
menre amount of mental anxiety, to say
the least. Alter all the routine business
had been finlticd. Auditor Devlin an
nounced an ordinance that had been in
trodced by Councilman. Gray by request,
he said v and after it bad been read the
first time Its alleged author arose and
moved that It be referred to the liquor
license committee, which was agreed to
without a dissenting voice.
A special meeting of the committee
will be held this afternoon to further
consider the ordinance and Immediately
upon the adjournment of the. council, a
number of Its members got together and
agreed to a call for a special meeting of
the entire body for 2 P. M. Monday, at
which time It is believed some sort of an
ordinance will be ratified, although It is
conceded that the measure submitted at
yesterday's session will be amended con
siderably. The ordinance provides that liquor shall
not be sold to be used in any apartment
or room having lcso than ICO square feet
of floor cpace. that all boxes must be en
tirely open on the side next to or facing
any hall, hallway, passageway or room,
and prohlbltx maintaining of any private
or separate entrances for any particular
class of customers, or display of signs
signifying that any entrance Is specially
Intended for ladle? or families.
The liquor license committee of the City
Council, to whom was referred the meas
ure that is likely to be the cause of so
much speculation In the near future. Is
composed of the 'following members:
Thomas Gray (chairman). W. T. Masters.
W. T. Vaughn, John Annand and H. W.
Wallace.
Nothing was done relative to the elec
tion at a president of the body, there be
ing such a relaxation after disposal of
thebox ordinance matter that none of
the members felt disposed to consider any
further busincs. but adjourned so hur
riedly that no day was mentioned for re
asserobling. Favor Increasing Salaries.
The report of the ways and means
committee approving the Increase In sal
aries of the Fire Department in accord
ance with the schedule adopted by the
late Executive Board, met with unani
mous approval, and all went serene until
the question came up relative to. the
amount of licenre to be exacted from the
Oaks. The license committee at a meet
ing on the preceding day had agreed, af
ter much deliberation, to a blanket rate
of S?Y) a quarter, exclusive of the charge
of S12S a quarter for the liquor license,
besides a good round sum -for restaurant
privileges. Councilman Sharkey could
not see it that way. however, and thought
the committee had shown partiality to
the Oaks maaagement In not aseeosing
tbem the full amouBtf without taking
anything Into consideration, and aaoved
that the matter be referred back to trie
license committee, which was .finally
agreed to. and it was Intimated that all
sides would be given an opportunity to
air their objectless.
The Flegel "sand" ordinance, a relic
of the old Council, was, anally burled,
and an 'ordinance passed lacreasing; the
Council cosssiittees as follows: Streets,
from five to xeven; vewers and drainage,
five to seven, aad licenses, three to fire.
Sharkey introduced a reaolatiea raising
the pay of the dry detectives fro 90S

curious chemical change takes place between 12 and 15 minutes after
Postum begins to boil. This change .releases the food element and pro

Seventy Years Old and Living Alone,
3Irs Dolour Is Attacked at Night
by Yoang HoodlumsTrag
edy Narrowly Averted.
They was reported to the police yester
day morning what appears to be the dia
bolical attempt of parties unknown to
cause the death of a gray-haired woman
of TO years of age, living alone, without
relatives or friends, by burning. The in
tended victim Is Mrs. Dufour. who lives
in a little cabin on one of the flats of the
old rock quarry at the head of South
Sixth street, and the attempt upon her
life was made at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Alone in the world, weakened by age.
Mrs. Dufour settled herself on the quarry
fiat several years ago, furnished a small
hut. and has been peacefully spending her
days. Her helplessness became the In
centive for young hoodlums of the neigh
borhood to torment her, destroy her
garden, kill her chickens, and In other
ways to annoy the one who would not
and could not do them harm. She
patiently endured It, not even informing
the police, until a month ago, when a
large boulder was sent crashing down the
hill behind her cabin at 3 o'clock In the
morning, tearing Its way through the
shell-like- house and narrowly missing
striking the occupant That was told the
police, and detectives watched for a time,
but were unable to catch the perpetrators.
A short time ago the officers discon
tinued their vigilance, and. the annoyance
began again. Yesterday morning It almost
resulted In a tragedy.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Dufour awakened to hear the crackling
of flames and to And her home filled with
smoke. She arose hastily, dressed and
rushed outside the house, to find that a
Are had been kindled against the side of
the building. The flames were already
eating their way Into the wall. Rushing
back into the house Mrs. Dufour obtained
a pail of water, which she dashed on the
flames. She repeated this several times,
and afterward made an attempt to scat
ter the burning sticks piled against the
wall. She succeeded In staying the prog
ress of the flames, and after a time In ex
tinguishing the blaze. She had no assist
ance whatever and It was only through
her hard work that her home was saved.
The police are of the opinion that the
fire was the work of hoodlums, and im
mediately after the matter was reported
to the police yesterday morning detectives
were assigned to the case and will me
every effort to apprehend, the guilty
parties.
