CHINESE GAME BROKEN IIP
POLICE RAID GAMBLING DEN ON
SECOND STREET.
Fourteen Orientals Taken to the Sta
tion, 'Where They Deposit
$42 5 Cash Bail.
Fourteen Chinese whose desire to gam
ble was greater than their fear of the
law sat Into a quiet little game at 230
Second street last night, but were bun
coed out of the pots for the evening by
two detectives, who interrupted the game
when the Orientals were shuffling the
pasteboards for the last draw.
The detectives are unable to say wheth
er the game was fantan or draw poker,
but almond-eyed Lee Chung, who recent
ly arrived from San Francisco and sat
in for the first time last night, told an
other Chinese when the raid was made
that he held threes with two more up his
sleeve when the game was interrupted.
Lee had practically cleaned, the board
when the police made him cash in. Lee
was willing to quit any time, but the
other 13 wanted to continue the game.
The police demurred on the ground that
they could not overlook a bet, and
bundled the outfit over to police head
quarters. There a conference between the Mayor
of Chinatown and Captain Slover was
held, and the captain decided that the
players could be released by leaving 3425
of the evening's winnnigs at the station.
The Chinese Mayor consented, and the
bunch left for the gambling-room.
Troubles Come Doubly
for Carmen
Biw Difteaae of the Kre Is Confined
Altogether to Motormen and Con
ductors Gnats Cause Irritation.
LTMATION" is the latest affliction
of the eye, and is confined alto
gether to motormen and conductors on
the street-car lines, the former usually
being- the victims of the new malady.
The disease is a sort of mild irritation
of the eyeball and is accompanied by a
slight soreness and watering. The trouble
is attributed to the thousands of small
gnats or buffalo flies that gather around
the electric lights at night. The Insects
are so small that when a car passes
through the space under an arc light
they are sucked into the front part of
the car and against the motor-man's face.
Gnats and other small flies are unusually
numerous this season.

H. W. Turner, town clerk of Sunny
side. Wash., announces that the munici

Sunnyslde is one of the most prosperous
centers of population In Takima County,
Wash. It is in the centei of what today
is the garden spot of the state. The im
portance of Irrigation is shown con
clusively by the vast reclamation pro
jects that have been carried to a com
pletion during the past few years in
Yakima County. Land In the Sunnyslde
district that 10 years ago was in what
was considered the arid belt of Wash
ington is now in the highest state of
cultivation.
Outside contractors are asked to bid on
the extensive improvements that will be
undertaken at Sunnyslde immediately.
"Six-Bit" Companies Cancel Policies
County Commissioner Frank C
Barnes was yesterday informed that
J10.000 of his insurance policies had
been canceled, this action having been
taken, it Is said, on account of the
County Court declaring that it would
not renew any policies In companies
that did not pay their San Francisco
losses in full. At the time this official
action was taken by the court. Com
missioners Barnes and Lightner an
nounced that they would make the
same move in the Insurance on their
own property. Many local Insurance
agents resented this action, and they
have said that they were going to
cancel policies held on the county's
property. Mr. Barnes last night re
fused to divulge the names of the
companies that had canceled his poli
cies. The Killing of George Mitchell.
SEATTLE, July 17. (To tile Editor.) In a
recent Issue of The Oregonian there appeared
some Seattle correspondence under the head
lines, "Counselled Her to Kill." "Editor ot
Seattle Magazine In Limelight" and "Asserted
After Creffleld Killing That Widow Had Right
to Kill Young Mitchell."
Inasmuch as the story related to the
Pelmlst and the Pessimist never "counselled
her to kill" or anything like it. I am anxious
that The Oregonlan should make proper ex
planation to Its reader. The Pessimist took
a stand against the act of Mitchell and char
acterised it as murder, the same as It will
against the act of his sister. fether Mitchell.
The Oregonlan In its headlines and In the
explanatory paragraph that followed has done
the Pessimist an Injustice, which I respect
fully ask you to correct.

Believing that there was good material
In the above advertisement for a josh,
Jack, the Joker, hit the telephone yes
terday for his amusement and Miss Mar
guerite McKeon's discomfiture.
"Hello, la this Main 1199?"
"Well, I found that valuable bracelet
of yours, and If you drop down to 30
North Third street and give the liberal
reward you offer, it is yours."
Miss McKeon, who Is a refugee from San
Francisco, and not yet on the wiles of
the practical Joker, procured an escort
and hurried to 30 North Third street. The
bracelet was lost by her at the Grand
Theater a few nights ago, and she in
serted the advertisement in The Oregon
ian In hopes of recovering It. It is the
only article of value that she saved from
the big fire.
No. 30 North Third street Is the Oregon
Loan Office. With her escort Miss Mc
Keon hurried to the store and said that
she had received the proprietor's tele-
phone message and was ready to pay the
reward. She extracted the money from
her purse and then met the blank ex
pression on tne lace or me proprietor.
When the loan office man told her that
he had not found a bracelet and did not
know what she was talking about, Miss
McKeon left the place angry. She went
to police headquarters and told Detec
tive -Mears her trouble, and wanted - to
know what could be done. Recognizing
the work of the joker, he smiled, took a
description of the valuable bracelet, and
told her that he would look into the
matter.
