THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AXTGrST 16, 1905. 14 REASON OFBOYCDTT Sen Chen, Chinese Merchant, Tells Why. VICEROY'S SON HUMILIATED Local 3fongollans Contribute to the r Fund to "Educate" Americans Upon Immigration and to Obtain Concessions. The son of a Chinese Viceroy, sent to America to enter one of its institutions of learning by ljjs father, -was sent back to China by immigration officers of the -Government from the Pacific Coast. Hence the boycott on American goods. The Viceroy, influenced by his son because of his treatment at the hands of immigration officials, has biased not only the Chinese court but Chinese merchants against America. The boycott Is not an anti-foreign one but an anti-American 'one, and will not be removed until the United States Government Joins with China in establishing- an immigration bureau in Hongkong or in Canton, or some other Chinese port, where officers of tho United States Government, in conjunc tion with Chinese officials, will pass on the eligibility of Chinese for entrance to the United States. According to Chi nese in America, tho foregoing are tho reasons for the boycott against the trade of the United States. Say Methods Are Lax. Too hurried and too lax methods of immigration officials on the Pacific Coast in examining the credentials of Chinese landing in America is alleged, and until this laxity is remedied Chi nese merchants, with the connivance of Viceroys in China, will wage war on American goods. In a letter received yesterday morning by Sen Chen, aJ merchant on Second street, from the son of a Chinese Viceroy, the reasons for tho boycott were explained in de tail, and the remedy for their removal was explained. "China," said Sen Chen, "has now reached the greatest period of Its his tory, and the desire of Chinese mer chants to have their sons othicated in Amorlca was paramount. There is no hatred of Amoricans In China or of othor foreigners, but until this country treats us as we treat you, partiality will not be shown American goods. "1 received a letter this morning from the son of a Chinese Viceroy ex plaining the conditions existing in China. He said that he had not been al lowed to land on American soil and was sent back to China. He was not examined thoroughly by immigration officers and after a few words was or dered to return. An effort to make an explanation by a Chinese merchant In thl country, who was not conversant with English only made matters worse. The letter continued, saying that the boycott had been started by the Viceroy and that he had been able to Influence the whole country. JCo'lll feeing was felt by China Itself against America but more equitable laws were desired for the admittance of Chinese to the United Statos. What China Wants. "I can explain to you better in my own way what China wants," con tinued Son Cheng. "Now if a foreigner lands in China and is harmed, his gov ernment takes It up. If a Chinese Is harmed In this country nothing is done. You do not treat us with consideration. What we want is a new treaty. My friends In China advise me that If a bureau were established in some Chi nese port whero my countrymen could be examined as to their qualifications for entrance to the United States, given credentials, and allowed to land here on theso credentials, no boycott against American goods would be In effect. But until we do receive fair treatment at your hands, or can educate your people 5iow to treat us, tho boycott will con tinue, s "Every Chinese in the United States will contribute as much as he is able to give, not for a campaign against American goods, but for the purpose of conducting a campaign for the en lightenment of Americans In regard to Chinese feelings. Chinese in Portland Siave contributed a large sum of money for this purpose, and Chinese through out the United States have been asked to contribute as much as they are able. "This fund will be for a campaign conducted by the newspapers and b"y speakers in showing the true condi tions of existing affalr Your immigra tion officers are not careful. For ex ample they shout at an Immigrant like this: 'What is this? What Is that?' and of course the Chinese becomes con fused. Your officials say that all Chinese look alike and that they are unable to tell a merchant, a student or a traveler from others. If as I said a bureau were established in China it would do away with tills condition." PRESENT SOUVENIR PLATE Utah Commission Extends Invita tion to Commercial Club. The regular noon luncheon yesterday was made notable by the presentation of a beautiful souvenir invitation to the mem bers of the Portland Commercial Club to attend the ceremonies of Utah day at the Lewis and Clark Fair. Upon a heavy Bllver plate is engraved the following inscription: ''The Utah Commissioners for the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition extend greeting to the members of the Portland Commercial Club and request the honor of their presence at the Utah-day cere monies at the Utah State building on the Exposition grounds, Portland, Oregon, Thursday, August 24, 1905." The invitation is headed by a facsimile of the statlonerj' used by the Utah. Com. mission at the Fair, giving the names of the officers of the Commission. With in a frame of beautifully polished mahog any, native wood of Utah, are inlaid three bands, one of copper, one of silver and one of gold. These metals and also the iron, which Is used for corner decorations and to form a beehive, the sign of in dustry, aro all taken from Utah mines. Over 200 members of the Commercial Club were present, all gathering in the main dining-room to witness the presenta tion. Last year the Portland Commercial Club gave a dinner In honor of Governor John C. Cutler, of Utah, and the gather ing yesterday was a happy reminder of that event. All the Utah Commissioners were present. They are: John C. Cutler. chairman; Wesley K. Walton, vice- chairman; M F. Cunningham, secretary; Rudolph Kuchler, treasurer; Spencer Clawson, manager; Web Greene and F. W. Flshburn. F. W. Flshburn made the speech of pre sentation and paid a fine tribute to the members of the Portland commercial or ganizations. He called attention to the amiable relations that exist between the people of Utah and Oregon and repeated the invitation which Is engraved on the silvor plate. President H. M. Cake, of the Commercial Club, replied, and in ex pressing the good-will of the body, he represents, thanked the visitors for the interest which has been shown In tb Lewis and Clark Fair by them and the people of their state. Governor Chamberlain also fipoke for the local organization. After the presen tation, the gift was displayed in the par lors of the Commercial Club where It was a constant source of admiration by visitors during the remainder of the day. LUMBER FOR GOULD LINE Western Pacific Buying Oregon Immber for Construction. Bids for furnishing over 6.000,000 feet of heavy timbers to be used in bridge and tunnel construction by the Western Pa cific will be made by the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, of Eugene. The Wend llng Lumber Company, of San Francisco, will bid against the Oregon firm for the contract. The Eugene mill has already turned out a large quantity of lumber for railway construction and that its work has been satisfactory to the Gould system is evidenced by this notice Just received to enter bids for so large a contract. It is not known whore the timbers are to be used, but It Is thought that they are needed for the work in California which la being pushed ahead rapidly by the Western Pacific. Not only Is work progressing on the main line to San Fran cisco, but the Gould interests have recent ly Incorporated the Central California Traction Company with a capital stock of $2,500,000. This corporation is now placing the contracts for building 175 miles of electric lines. The surveys are now be ing made and the actual work of con struction will commence before Septem ber. WANT RAILROAD EXTEXSIOXS Eastern Oregon People Expect Work on O. R. & X. The people of Eastern Oregon, espe cially in the neighborhood of Baker City, are anxiously watching for developments In the proiosed extension of the Harrl man lines south of the Columbia River. One project which is claiming attention is the long-desired line from Baker City to Ballard's Landing on the Snake River; the other is the extension of the O. R. &. N. from Huntington to the Grande Ponde, the two lines to form a loop. These lines Vould open up one of the richest sections In the eastern part of the state, a region that has been seriously handlcaped in the past by the lack of railroad facilities to carry its output to market. Some of the richest gold and silver mines in the state would be reached and given opportunity to ship their ore to smelters. The region is also rich In dairy and agricultural products, and those industries would be greatly benefited. A survey was made down the Snake several years ago and some grading done. The new line would probably follow this old route and the engineers would meet with no serious difficulties, it Is thought. FAIR TRAVEL IS INCREASING General Passenger Agent Cleland Says Outlook Is Splendid. A. M. Cleland, gcnoral passongor agent of the Northern Pacific Hallway, arrived in the city from St. Paul yestoray morn ing and remained throughout tho day. returning East In the evening. He speaks in highest terms of the Fair as an adver tising medium for Oregon and the entire Pacific Coast. The favorable reports that are being carried East by the continual stream of returning visitors is doing more to benefit this section than any amount of advertising literature. Mr. Cleland believes that the trans continental passenger traffic, which lias grown to enormous proportions, will con tinue unabated throughout August and the greater part of Septomber. The traf fic on the whole will show an Increase, he thinks, because indications point to a much larger number of Portland visitors from Eastern "Washington. Montana and Idaho during the next two months than there has beon up to this time. JUDGE HUNT IS DELAYED He Will Not Arrive in Portland Until September 5. A tolegram received yesterday by Cir cuit Judge Gilbert, sent by United Statos District Judge Hunt, of Montana, con tained the brief statement that ihe latter would not arrive In Portland until Sep tember S, instead of August 2S, No fur ther particulars were contained In the tolegram. Press of business and the ar ranging of personal affairs Is thought to be the cause of Judge Hunt's post ponement of his coming to Portland. As the Oregon land-fraud cases will come before the United States District Court September E, Judge Hunt will arrive barely in time to assume his duties on the bench. United StatesDlstrlct Attor ney Heney will arrive fromBan Francisco a few days in advance of Judge Hunt. Judge Hunt is thoroughly conversant with the proceedings of the land-fraud cases and his delayed arrival will not retard the progress of the cases. SAYS HE WAS DEFRAUDED Rudolph .Tanson Gets Little From Brother's Estate. Rudolph Janson. who is seeking to obtain money belonging to the estate of his brother. Herman Janson, who was killed by a Montavllla car In February last, testified bofore Judge Webster yes terday that he was Imposed upon by A. Ruff in, a lawyer. Janson said he signed two receipts, one for 53 and the other for $7, and this is the only money ho re ceived from Ruffin. Janson further testi fied that the receipts had afterwards been raised, and he had' been cheated out of $750, after which he appealed to E. XL Cederberg. Swedish-Norwegian Consul, for assistance. Ruffin Is out of the. city, and Judge Webster continued the hearing ono week until Ruffln's return. After Herman Janson was killed, R. O. Scott was appointed administrator of the estate, and H. H. RIddell. acting as attor ney for the administrator, compromised with the Portland Consolidated Railway Company for 500. Rudolph Janson sub sequently appeared on the scene, and at the Instigation of Gus Erlckson, he en gaged Ruffin as his attorney. RIddell was to receive one-half as a contingent fee. Rudolph Janson, as the heir of his brother Herman, has not succeeded in getting any of tho $2500. he-says, except $11 Judge Webster will investigate the matter fully before he gets through with African M. E. Conference. The Hth annual conference of the Puget Sound division of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will begin Its sessions with the annual sermon this morning at 9 o'clock in the Bethel African Methodist Eplsci-pal Church at CS North Tenth street. Rev. KIshop B. F. Lee. D. D., of Wilberforce, O.. will preside In place of Bishop A. Grant, who is unable to at tend the conference. The conference will continue until Monday, morning, after noon and evening nvetings being held each day. About ten visiting clergymen of the denomination will be In attendance. In cluding representatives from Seattle, Ta coma. Everett, Snokanc and Victoria, B. C. - SHE TIE ELDER J. H. Peterson Has a Solution of the Difficult Problem. SCIENTIFIC METHODS USED Immense Cylinder Pontoons Are the Means by Which He Hopes, to Succeed Where Others Have Failed. Since the failure of the underwriters to raise the steamer Geo. W. Elder, which was sunk on the rocks just above Goble last Winter, much speculation has been made whether she would ever be raised. It seemed an Impossibility and the tin ftl rrwkr In ha ottornn t Via nniliip. writers appeared to deter others from at tempting lu At one time the Wreck was reported sold to a junk dealer, who was to have dismantled her for old Iron. Then came the actual sale by the underwriters to J. H. Peterson and the marine men, and the public generally began to speculate as to the manner In which it would be raised. Some contended that two sections of the dry dock should be used one placed at either end of the wreck and in this way floated. It could have been floated, but It would have been an Impossibility to place her in the drydock. So this method had to be abandoned. Others suggested that the plan of the Japanese In floating a number of the Rus sian ships be followed, in placing Immense canvas bags in the hold, pumping air into them, thus forcing the water out. This plan was found impracticable, for the reason that her hold was full of freight. And now what appears to be the best and cheapest way has been planned and will be carried out by Peterson. Eight Immense cylinder pontoons, each 40 feet long by 20 feet In diameter, each capable of lifting 750.000 pounds, will be used to do the work. They will be placed in' pairs, four on each side of the vessel. The pontoons are built of heavy select timbers, with large iron bands for hoops placed at Intervals of two feet. Besides the regular hoops there are two extra heavy bands, one near each end of the -pontoon, strong enough to sustain the lift ing capacity of the pontoon. When all the pontoons are in position, water is allowed to enter them and divers will connect each pontoon with an Im mense cable or chain, and carry the chain or cable underneath the wreck and con nect it with the opposite pontoon. When the pontoons are all so connected, air will be forced Into each one by means of an air compressor, and If every thing works out as Peterson has planned, the wreck will float and it will be an easy matter to tow her to the drydock. DEPARTilEXT OVERRULES. Supervising Inspector's Decision Re versed at Washington. WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. The Depart ment of Commerce and Labor today over ruled John A. Cotter, Supervising Inspec tor of New Orleans, of the United States Steamboat Inspection Service, who had demanded the application of hydrostatic pressure to test boilers of the Leyland line steamships, a British line operating between New Orleans and England. The captains of these vessels hold unexpired British certificates, and therefore come within the benefits of the reciprocal ex emption agreement between the United States and Great Britain, by which the inspection certificates of one country must be recognized by the other, if the condition of the steamships conform to the certificates.

Edwards No Longer Council Member. C. D. Edwards is no longer a membar of the St. Johns Council. By the deciding vote of Mayor W. H. King at the meeting last night his original resignation was ac cepted. Thl3 result was reached only after the most vigorous protests of Coun cllmen Lcggett and Shields, who de nounced the Mayor as working an under handed game to get Edwards out of the Council. Edwards was not present. Only three members voted to accept, the others refusing to vote at all, whereupon. Mayor King declared Edwards no longer a mem ber. Councllmen Shields and Leggett both declared there was something crooked about the proceedings. Mayor King re ceived a letter from Mr. Edwards, dated at Mountaindale. August 9. containing a resignation of Mr. Edwards, but it had no signature, and hence Edwards orig inal resignation was laid before the Council and accepted. Councilman Shields declared in very strong terms that Mayor King had misled Attorney McGary by announcing that he had received Edwards resignation by mall, whereas the resignation contained no signature whatever. City Attorney Greene Informed the Council that Ed wards had called on him and asked him to write out a resignation, which was done. Edwards, in mailing the resigna tion to Mayor King, had neglected to attach his name. Councllmen Leggett and Shields both contended that there was something back of the proceedings, which would soon be exposed. Attorney McFadden was present with a proposition to operate a ferry of 75 to 10) tons across the Willamette, and asked for a franchise, which was referred to the committee on landings and docks until next Mondav evening. BIG ORIENTAL SPECTACLE Reproduction of Salient Feature of the Indian Durbar. Anyone who has read but little about India will get a better and more com prehensive Idea of the splendors of the East and the appearance of its rulers and retainers from the great object les son the Barnum & Bailey greatest show on earth will present, than through any other means. As one of the ohlcf feat ures of the show Is a superb reproduc tion of the recent Durbar In Delhi. Thero are 400 characters costumed In the richest stuffs ever woven, worn by representatives of the rulers of all the principalities of India, together with richly caparisoned horses, elephants, clothed in fine fabrics adorned with Jewels, sacred animals decorated for the sacrifices; omblems, insignia of of fice, gorgeous chariots and vehicles of state and pomp, together with rich par aphernalia of every conceivable kind. The whole interior of the big tent Is made use of when the spectacle Is pre sented and every available foot of space Is filled with a vast body of men, wom en nml children, wild beasts and costly equipages. Moguls and great Moguls. Rajahs and Maharajahs, Begums, Bud dha priests, warriors, mounted soldiers, heralds, trumpeters and numerous re tainers from all parts of India are rep resented in such lavish profusion and numbers as to daze the visitor. And all are truthfully and faithfully represent ed Just as they appeared before the Viceroy and Vicereine of India and tho Duke and Duchess of Connaught, rep resenting King Edward the VII and Queen Alexandra. Besides this specta cle there are all the other great feat ures of circus, hippodrome, two men ageries, horse fair and elephants. ARE AGAIN TURNED DOWN Chicago Bidders Say That St. Johns Bonds Arc Not Legal. The St. Johns J10.C00 municipal bonds have been turned down by the Chicago bidders, Browne-EUInwood Co., the sec ond lowest bidders, as not authorized by the charter of that city. Recorder J. "W. Hanks yesterday received a letter from the Chicago firm stating that after ex amination of the provisions of the charter bearing on the issue, of municipal bonds it was found that the present bond issue was not legally authorized, and the firm could not accept. The answer says that It might have taken the bonds had they been issued for building purposes only. This settles the present Issue: the $10,000 municipal bonds will not be sold. Having been declared Illegal by two bidding firms, the Council will not offer them to the third and last bidder. It means that there Is but one way out of the present diffi culty, and that Is by confessing Judgment on all claims brought against the city, when tho charter authorizes the City Re corder to Issue warrants In payment of tho claims. This is now being done on some of the bills, and will doubtless be followed on all others. It la considered doubtfuWf St. Johns can secure grounds and build a City Hall under the present charter, and thaf the city will .have to wait until the Legislature gives the people a workable Instrument.

GEE KEE" LOTTERY CLOSED Judge Cameron Disposes of Big Grist of Cases in Municipal Court. Chinese Lottery Case Will t Be Heard Today. Sergeant of Police Hogeboom. having charge of Chinatown on the first relief, ran right Into a game of fantan at Sec ond and Washington streets at 11 o'clock Monday night, but did not know It. His approach was signalled by the outer guards on duty for that purpose, but they made a mistake and conveyed the Idea to those Inside that the officer was entering. A full-fledged fantan game was In pro gress, with about $300 upon the table. When the outer guards gave the signal that Sergeant Hogeboom was there, a wild scramble ensued within. The game was stopped, the players tore about fran tically and the table with the cash was upset. Although the excited Chinese were panic-stricken, they did not forget to help themselves to the money, and It was gathered up so quickly that as Sergeant Hogeboom entered, he did not see any thing wrong. This Is what happened in one particular case, and may account for the fact that the officer denies the pres ence of fantan games In Chinatown. As published exclusively in The Sunday Oregonlan, Chinatown Is wide open. Fan tan and lottery run day and night, al though guardedly. This was denied, how ever, by Sheriff Word, who once smashed down doors and broke the tables of the Chinese. That was wnen he first went Into office, and was new to the business. That Chinese lotteries are running, as W83 published Sunday, was proved by Sergeant Hogeboom, who raided an es tablishment at 130 Second street at 6 o'clock Monday night, seized a bunch of tickets and arrested Gee Kee, charging him with running a lottery and with hav ing lottery tickets In his possession. In the Municipal Court yesterday morning, the case was continued until tomorrow. Mrs. E. FInley did not steal two bolts of silk from Mrs. Lena Turnbow, as was originally charged by the latter, and wa3 discharged from custody yesterday morn ing by Judge Cameron. The fair de fendant resides at 11 East Third street. Vlrglnlo Ccrio, operating a barber shop at Twenty-fifth and Thurman streets, was discharged. He was accused by James Whlpkey, of Hot Springs. Ark., of'over charglng for tonsorlal work. W. L. Rosenthal Is a truck teamster, whose action indicated a belief .that tho streets of the city and also the steet-car tracks were Intended for his individual use. When fined 510 by Judge Cameron for driving seven blocks In front of a First-street car and refusing to turn out of the way even when told to do so by a policeman, he changed his mind. B. ChHUcey was fined $10 on a charge of disorderly conduct and $10 for using abu sive language. a John O. Brock, residing at 309 Shaver street, drinks a good deal of whisky, and when "soaked" with it, has a habit of taking his wife by the wrists and twist ing her arms until she screams in pain. Then he twists harder. When he began the act early Monday afternoon, his son-in-law, who happens to be Policeman Thompson, was sleeping upstairs and was called upon to make the old man desist. He did It, but before he finished, was obliged to pull his club and beat Brock into submission. Yesterday Brock was before Judge Cameron, and was severely lectured. He will in future try to keep sober, he said. Frank Kelley. a "dope fiend," was sen tenced to serve a term of six months in the County Jail. ALASKA EXCURSION.
