GET GOODS OF NO VALUE Xumeto Kushibikl, Japanese Com missioner, Steps to the ITront Wltli Promise to Make All' Deficiencies Good. The war with Russia was child's play to Japan compared with the hostilities which the women of Portland have oponly declared against the promoters of tht Society of Japanese Art -Admirers, for those who Joined at $1 per and did not receive the $1300 and $500 pres ents at the drawing are making it warm for the little brown men in the Oriental building at the Exposition grounds. Fake is the cry from all who drew trifles, and the cry is so loud that those who got articles of value are not heard at all. There is no doubt that some good things were distributed, and there is also no doubt that some very cheap things were given out. Tne value of the latter Is a question of dispute between the Portland women and the Japanese merchants, and to settle all misunderstanding on this point the Japanese commissioner. Yu meto Kushlbiki. states that he will per sonally adjust all differences between the Japanese exhibitors and the Port land members of the society. This will in all probability quiet the miniature war, but yesterday the American forces were very active and there was sharp firing along the lines. Indorsed by Wakefield.

There was nothing In it for the merchants, as has hern strongly intimated by the irate victims of 'the so-called fake drawing, rs theyvsold the tickets In good faith on the strength of the Wakefield letter, and now that tjie cry of fraud has been lalsed by so many members they are very Indignant. Both Mrs. Frohman and Woodard. Clarke & Co. state that all they got out of the transaction was loss of business, as the Japanese auc tion and the certificate-holders' hopes of drawing presents of value -has kept much trade away from their shops. None of these firms knew anything more about the society and the articles to be drawn than the purchasers of cer tificates, and that they should suffer both loss of business and the Indignity of accusations connecting them with tho alleged fake operations is making all of them feel decidedly at outs with art of any nationality. Mr. Wakefield, in his personal letter to Woodard, Clarke & Co., says in conclusion: These gentlemen (It. Fukagawa. president, and S. Takata, .secretary and treasurer of the society), have given asurance that each pur chaser or a membership ticket in the Society or Japanese Art Admirers will receive Tor same Japanese goods from ald Japan!-e ex hibit section to at least the value or 51. upon the basis or 20 per cent leas than the usual re al price ror such goods, and an additional opportunity or securing higher-priced goods or various values up to and Including articles valued at 51000; the distribution or these ar ticles or various values to be by a drawing which will be had In the Japanese exhibits section.

Director or Concesbions and Admissions. "Women Cry Fake. The principal cry of fake comes from IhA ivnmfn nltlimir-Vi a tfrxf men linvA added their bassos to the anvil chorus. 1 The Japanese say that the women kick because they did not get the kind of articles they wished, and that the matter of values Is really not at the bottom of the trouble. "If a lady wants a kimono and draws a piece of ivory or lacquer i work, 1 cannot help that," said one of i them. "N6w hero' Is a watch charm which a lady brought back saying it was ; not worth 10 cents look at it closely. ; It is solid silver and carved by hand, and i the actual value of It is $Lo. If it had I been an artlcleof that same value which. ' shp happened to want, she doubtless j would have been entirely satisfied, but t you know that In a drawing it Is impos- j sible to give each a choice and they must take whatthey draw." These are some of the articles which members have reported drawing to the ) merchants who sold certificates: School ! companions (pencil cases), small flags worth about 5 cents each; cardcases val ued from 10 cents to 50 cents: small lac quer trays; set of dollies; child's toy fur niture; cups and saucers; small whistle; silver watch fob, etc One young man who held ten tickets drew" a silver thim ble, lacquer inkstand, two cloisonne vases, leather cigar case, cardcase, cut-velvet pillow cover, blllbook. etc. He states that the vases were worth the $10 his tickets cost, so he is not out anything, but other wise he would have joined the knockers. Mrs. W. W Cotton states that she drew a lacquer tray which had the original sale price still marked on It 65 cents. Mrs. Wesley Ladd says she holds tickets, but has not been able to get near the drawing on account of the., crowds. She watched many of the women opening their pack ages, and was most indignant at the class of articles which had been palmed oft on them as worth a dollar and more. A large number of the Hobart-Curtis guests were "bitten," although one valuable prize went to a guest of that house. The Japanese merchants say that the other side of thtv story Is not lold, and,give the following names, taken at random from the books, as winners of valuable prizes: y Screen, value $1000. Antoinette Waldon. Oregon City; cabinet 150), Miss Mame Watson, S3G East Couch street; bronze Okimono ($250). F. L. Brown. Hobart-Curtls; bronze Mizugama ($80). H. D. Kilham. 246 Washington street; embroiders' work ($75), Tambara, Seventh and Couch streets; tea set (fGO), H. H. Parker. 424 Chamber of Commerce; screen (JSO), Mr. Natsume, Park street, San Francisco; embroidery ($50). Grace De Graff, 545 Sixth street; vase ($40). F. C. Aterson. 765 East Main street; cloisonne vase ($60), Mrs. Ida Ross, 514 Market street. Miss Walden, of Oregon City, who is said to have won the thousand dollar screen, could not be located by the Ore gonlan correspondent last night. The screen was on exhibition In the Oriental building before the drawing and was coveted by many, but it is claimed by one in a position to learn inside facts that this same thousand dollar screen was appraised by Its owners at $363 when it passea mrougn tbo custom house. The custom officials would not affirm this as tne treasury does' not allow such In lormation to be given out. But oven at suss alden surely "got her money's worth" and can have no complaint. Kushlbiki AVHI 3Iakc Good. Commissioner Kushlbiki Insists that all who are not satisfied with their draw ings come to him this evening or tomor row outside the Exposition gates as he is determined to have all transactions between the Japanese merchants and the American public amicably adjusted. He took up the matter with the Japanese Consul yosterday. and both have decided that Japan shall be cleared of any asper sions which have been cast upon her by this affair.

Southorn Pacific ongineers, under the direction of Chief Engineer Hoo'd, of San Francisco, are busy at work sur SOCIETY OF JAPANESE ART ADMIRERS Statement Issued by Yumeto Kushlbiki, Japanese Commissioner Jo the Lewis and Clark Exposition, regarding the drawing by the Society of Japanese Art Admirers. The dissatisfaction which has been expressed about some of the articles which were drawn by holders of certificates In the Society of Japanese Art Admirers is most distressing to me, and I will take the personal re sponsibility of guaranteeing every member the full value of the dollar which was paid In. I am not In any way connected with tho drawing or the society, but as Commissioner from the country which these ex hibitors represent I asked permission of the Exposition authorities to al low this drawing to take place, being assured by the parties Interested that everything would be conducted on strictly honorable lines. The manner In which the drawing was conducted does not seem to have been criticised, but those who drew the small prizes are saying they did not receive their dollar's worth. To prove to the citizens of Portland and the United States that there Is no attempted fraud about this mat ter I will myself undertake to give every purchaser of certificates entire satisfaction as to the value of the presents drawn by them. It will be Impossible to give each member the exact article desired, but I am de termined that all shall be satisfied as to getting their money's worth. To this end 1 will be present at the Japanese tea house under the Fair mount Hotel, near the Exposition gates, this evening at 7:30 o'clock, and those who believe that their presents are not worth a dollar or more can have the privilege of exchanging them for others. I will have four American gentlemen to assist me so there will be no difficulty of a clear understanding, and will compel the merchants who originated the society and furnished the presents to give entire satisfaction to the American public. 1 wish to particularly emphasize the fact that I am not connected with this enterprise, financially or otherwise, but as Japanese Commis sioner wish to see every transaction by my countrymen entirely satisfac tory. If these matters cannot be- adjusted this evening, I will continue tomorrow and next day until all matters are straightened out.

The road will run from Drain along Nik Creek anj the Umpqua River to the Coast at Gardiner,, from there along the Const to the head of Coos Bay and around that body of water to Marsh field.

SMALLPOX CASE AT LENTS Developed Monday, hut Health Offi cer Not Informed Promptly. Dudley Evans, County Health Officer was somewhat perturbed yesterday when he ascertained that a case of smallpox at Xnts had existed since Monday, to which his attention had not been Immediately called. The patient Is Lulu Wpbb. 17 years old. and she was attended by Dr. H. F. Ong. When seen by the physician she she had only a ' few eruptions on her forehead and the j case was hard to diagnose, but he felt ' sure the disease was smallpox and i took the precaution to vaccinate the different members of thti family, and to order a flHg put up. Health Officer ; Evans ordered a strict quarantine and he nlso warned several friends of the Webb family, who hajl visited their home before It wns'Jnown that the duughli-r had smallpox, of the fact that they iiad been exposed and to consult Physicians. Dr. Ong has not been long in Portland and states fan), he knew where to reprt a city case, but did not know It is necessary where tho ' patient lived outside of the city 11m its.

JAP MURDERER IS M IN CUSTODY Kasaoka Kinta, Who Stabbed Fellow-Counfryman, Gives Himself Up. STAGGERS INTO STATION Self-Confessed Assassin Surrenders Himself on Promise That Ex penses or His Trial "Will Be Paid. Begging for something to eat and al most famished from hunger Kasaoka Kipta, the self-confessed murderer of Sasaki Matsulta. the Japanese who was stabbed to death last Monday morning on Everett street, staggered into po lice headquarters at 10 o'clock last night and gave himself up to .Captain Moore. After more diplomacy than it took to make peace between Russia and Japan, Kinta on the promise of Maurukaml. a Jap held at the City Jail because he knew where Kinta was In hiding, prom ised to surrender himself. As a result of the negotiations between Mauru kaml and Kinta. carried on by Takedo. a Jap interpreter, Maurukaml is to stand nil the expenses of the trial for murder with which Kinta Is to be tried. Kinta has been kept in hiding at Mount Tabor by a member of the Jap anese colony, who consented to give Kinta into the hands of the police as soon as Maurukimn, agreed to furnish the money for the trinl. Maurukaml consented yesterday afternoon to sup ply the necessary money. The Japanese In Portland have notified Detectives Day and Vaughn and Chief of Police Grltzmacher every day of the progress of the negotiations. After the agree ment was reached Day and Vaughn left for Mount Tabor to bring the pris oner to the city. Before tney arrived at the place designated for '.tu sur render, Kinta in company with a friend left the place and it was a race between the detectives and two Japs as to which should Teach the police sta tion first. Kinta won out. Kinta assigns as the reason for the killing that Matsulta tried to force him to give over 20 and that when he refused Matsultai started to fight. The murderer then drew a pocketknire from ils pocket and commenced cut ting. Following the murder Kinta rushed to a telephone and informed Maurukaml where he was going and at what times he could be found. The first thing said by Kinta as he rushed through the. gate leading to the desk of Captain Moore was: "I am Kinta. Hungry, very hungry. I smoke." meaning by the last sentence, "may I smoke?" The little fellow was so over come with hunger and his fast run to the city that he had to be supported by officers at the station until he could j more clearly make known who ho was. Although many detectives have worked on the case the fact that he gave him self up Is due to Chief Grltzmacher and Detecii-es Day and Vaughn. Eberman HequesLs n Hearing. R. !. Eberman. the patrolman dis charged by the Executive Board on Octo ber 6 for neglect of duty, applied for a hearing, before the Civil Service Commis sion yesterday, and his case will come up at 11 o'clock. November 1. Maud Dunnigan complained against him and swore that on October CO at -1:20 A. M. she tried to notify the police that a man named Baker was beating a woman at 300 Seventh street, but was prevented from giving the alarm by Eberman. Baker was afterward arrested by Patrolman Porter. Eberman was tried before the police com mittee of the Executive Board, and it was upon their findings that he was discharged from the force. Pending the decision, however, he married Miss Dunnigan. but this act does not appear to have had much weight with the committee.

"D ESPITE the fact that the black bass are not protected and- can be caught at any time, they are In creasing with almost marvelous ra pidity." said H. G. Van Dusen. Fish ."Warden, at the Imperial Hotel yester day afternoon. "They have spread to nearly every large stream in Oregon and the abolishment of the act which protected them by the last Legisla ture has had practically no effect upon them. The black bass rage havoc with schools of salmon minnows, but from my observations I do not believe they destroy the eggs as they are not a scavenger fish. "In the East the black bass is looked upon as the gamiest of fish, and' is much sought both for sport and the table. Here In Oregon, however, little attention is paid to tnem, as the sportsmen of this section do not seem tu appreciate their qualities as a game fish. About the only persons that fish for them her are tho Rnstrnfirs nnd they are unsjble to understand why the Orcgonlans leave them alone. This is perhaps due to the lack of knowledge of the habits and peculiari ties of the black bass. People here find them hard to catch, because they dp not know how to fish for hem. Almost anywhere along the Willamette and the Columbia an Easterner, who has fished for them at other places, can go out and catch a large string of black bass within a few hours. Black bass can be caught by trolling, still fish ing and casting, and rise readily to frogs and minnows. The finest kind of black bass fishing can be had within three or four miles of Portland. ANSAS. my home state, is some- 11 wh hat known for Jackrabblts, but a few months ago I found that the Sun flower State has to take Its hat off to Idaho In this respect." said Mrs. Nellie Bennett, the champion woman shot at the Imperial Hotel yosterday after noon. "The Jackrabblts of the Idaho plains are so big that they look more like coyotes. In "some parts of the state they are so thick and have such rav enous appetites that the farmers have to cover their stacks with fine mean wire to keep the jackrabblts from eat ing all the hay. This may be hard to believe but is is nevertheless true. The hay and .straw stacks near Idaho Falls have to be covered with this thickly woven wire or the catlc and .sheep would have nothing to eat In the Win ter. "I was one of a party of 20 not long ago to participate in a jackrabblt drive near Idnho Falls. We drove out from town a few miles and, forming a line, struck off through the sagebrush. The jackrabblts were so thick that with every step we scared up hundreds of them. Sometimes we would almost step on them. I had 500 rounds of ammuni tion with me and I shot away all of It. We were only out two or three hours, and as nearly as we could figure, the 10 of us shot more than 3000 Jackrabbit3. If you want real, genuine sport go down In Idaho and shoot Jackrabblts. They are so thick that they are a pest and the farmers like to have them killed off." PRANK JAYNES. general superin ten-lent of the Western Union Tele graph Company. on the - PacinV Coast with headquarters at San Francisco, was a guest at the Hotel Portland yesterday. Mr. Jaynes has been In the Northwest for some time In view of the comtemplated Improvements of th6 company in this part of the country. A vast amount of reconstruction work on the Oregon lines of the Western Union will be done next Spring, which will give employment to large numbers of men. The Western Union Is now running an other through line from San Francisco to Portland, which will reach this city before the first of the year. This was necessitated by increased business. "A surprisingly large number of our officials and railroad officials graduate from the ranks of the messenger boys." said Mr. Jaynes. while sitting in tho lobby of the Hotel Portland last night. "Messenger boys have to be pretty bright to hold their positions, and con sequently some of the biggest men off the country used to deliver messages. This Is particularly true of railroad of ficials. "We keep a close watch upon the mes senger boys we have in our employ, and whenever we see one that Is industrious. Intelligent, ambitious and shows an apti tude for the work we make a telegraph operator out of him. We get nearly all of pur operators from the messenger boys, and they are the very best to bo had. The school operators are not. aa a- rule, as good as those who learn by .practical experience. "Wireless telegraphy can be used In transmitting messages over water, but It falls short when it Is tried on land. I have not known of intelligible messages being -sent by wireless telegraphy over more than 150 miles of land. It Is prob able that something In the atmosphere Interfers with the transmission.
