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.
When the exhibitors from Japan for
mulated the idea of the Society of Jap
anese Art Admirers, they asked their
commissioner to obtain permission
from th "Rxnosltlon nffiolrvls tn spll
memberships at $1 each, jruaranteeine

certificates at their places of business
and selling memberships. 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. Orientals building, on Monday. Oc
tober. 23, at 30 o'clock A. M. -
It is thoroughly believed that all purchasers
or these membership tickets will at least he

them. JOHN A. WAKEFIELD.
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

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.

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.

SI miles, and the cost or the road will
be approximately $3,500,000,
In addition to the surveyors, the
company aiso has a number of men
employed securing the rights of way

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

physicians the importance of prompt
ness In such cases to prevent the spread

Bond on Sewer Contract.
At a special meeting of the Executive
Board yesterday afternoon the Pacific
Bridge Company was required to give a
bond in the sum of S30.000.for the faithful
performance of its contract in the con

The bid of the corporation was accepted
September 23. after considerable criticism
concerning Its regularity. It Involves an

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. Wire
less telegraphy is not practical as there
is no secrecy to It. The current radiates
In all directions from the place where It
It sent, and anyone can catch the mes
sages If he happens to have the ap
pliance and Is within reach."
