THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1905. ART ADMIRERS IN HANDS OF POLICE Sheriff Word Takes Hand and ; Finds an Excited Lot of Patrons. APPEAR IN COURT TODAY Jvushibiki, Japanese Commissioner, Anxious for Opportunity to Ful- -fill Promise to Satisfy Stockholders. The members and promoters of the So ciety . of Japanese Art Admirers arc in a -worse muddle now than at any time since the lottery -wheel began to revolve for when the proprietors of the game ol chance did not make good their promise to deliver goods to the value of the pur chase price of tickets and the ticket hold ers raised their clarion notes to heaven Jn one long howl of fake. Sheriff Word woke up from his Indian Summer nap and cast the shadow of his mighty hand over the whole arrangement. As a result several Japanese who were in charge of the drawing when the Sheriff and his two deputies arrived on the scene were ar rested, and the women present had the narrowest escape of their lives, only get ting away after giving their names to the officers. The raid was extremely sen sational and until they realized that only the principals were to be arrested the women present made things pretty lively In the vicinity of Twenty-sixth and Thur man streets. The arrests were made for violating the statute prohibiting lotteries of any character. The penalty for vlolatibn of this statute Is imprisonment of not less than six months nor more than one year In the penitentiary, or from three months to one year in the County Jail, or a fine of not less than $100 nor more than 51000. The statute further provides that all sums of money or prizes drawn In any lotterv may be forfeited to the use of the state, and may be sued for and re covered in legal action. Under this clause District Attorney Manning can sue all purchasers of tickets and recover for the State of Oregon all prizes won. While it is hardly probable that such action will be taken, it may give an idea of the chances the public takes in attempts to get more than it's money's worth Mr. Kushiblkl. the Japanese Commis sioner, feels that he is In a worse di imm hrmich the action of the Sheriff, than any one else, for that officer not only arrested the men in charge, but tooTc the book of stubs containing the record of tickets sold and locked the place of business up, carrying oil the key in his official pocket. This prevented the Commissioner from making good his statement published in yesterday's Ore gonian to the effect that he would per sonally superintend the adjustment of all difficulties between dissatisfied customers and the Japanese merchants. Kusbibikl's Good Intentions. "As the Sheriff locked the place up I was not able to keep my word with the public." he said, "and it puts me in a very unfavorable light. I am very indig nant over the trouble the actions of my countrymen have caused, and it Is still my intention to make everything all right lf the city and county officials will allow me to do so. The men who liave conduct ed this society are merchants of good standing in Yokohama and I was at flrnt Inclined to believe that everything was straight and that only a few women were making the fuss. "Yesterday morning I gathered up an armful of the packages ready for distri bution and opened them to satisfy myself of the value of their contents. I was chagrined to find that nearly all of them fell below the dollar valuation claimed for them, most of them averaging 40 and E0 cents. I called the merchants to an accounting and they had many excuses to make, but readily promised to furnish the goods for me to keep my word with the public. I had secured American as sistants and the adjustment of differences would have begun tonight but for this interruption. "My attorneys. Piatt & Piatt, have the matter in their hands, but the Sheriff would not give them permission to allow mo to reopen the building and make the 'exchanges at present. What he "will do in the future I do not know, but I sin cerely trust he will permit me to keep my word with the Portland people who are not satisfied with their drawings." S. Hayrohi. J. Akawachi and T. Mat suda were the men arrested yesterday, and warrants have been Issued for R. FukagaWa and S. Takata, president -and secretary of the society. Tiie cases will be called up before Judge Cameron today. HEAD CONSUL B0AK COMING Will 'Dedicate Mount Tabor Fraternal Hall Monday. . Head Consul T.
