OFGH KESE
COMES ON FROLIC
Wholesale Smuggling of Con
trabands Discovered in
New England.
SCHOONER IS CAPTURED
Brought From Newfoundland In
Filthy Vessel. Giving French
Customs Officers Slip at
fit. Pierre, Miquelon.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct 10. Eighteen
Chineea were arrested today after the
.capture by the United States immigration
authorities of the schooner yacht Frolic,
for which revenue officers have been
searching along the New England Coast
for the past two weeks, were held tonight
by United States Commissioner Cross in
Jiono bail each for examination next
Wednesday. All the men declared they
had been in the United States before, but
that their certificates had bean lost, some
In New York and others in the fire at
San Francisco. This declaration con
tradicted a statement alleged to have
been made by John C. Lehnemann, of
Boston, one of the men arrested for
complicity in the smuggling operations,
who says the traffic has been -extensive
and effective.
The Chinese brought by the Frolio from
Newfoundland came to that country di
rect from China. Twenty-four other
Chinese were passengers on the Frolic
and are believed to be in hiding in the
Chinese quarter in this city, but the im
migration inspectors up to tonight have
been unable to locate them.
The Frolic entered the harbor In broad
daylight at 10 o'clock yesterday without
attracting any attention, those who saw
her taking her for a fishing schooner.
It was by the purest accident that it
was discovered that she was the Frolic.
At an early hour this morning a maji em
ployed at the coal pockets stumbled over
two Chinese huddled in a heap on the
wharf at the coal yard. Te was about
to eject them from the premises.- when
someone on board the schooner cried out:
"Don't bother those fellows. I will look
after them."
Discovered by Accident.
The workman reported the occurrence
to the night watchman, who In turn ini
formed the police, who captured eight
Chinese. The customs and Immigration
officiaJs continued the search and cap
tured nine more Chinese.
Close upon the. arrest of the Chinese
and the confiscation of the schooner came
the arrest of two white men on suspicion
of having been concerned in the smug
gling. This morning a number of policemen
and United States Deputy Marshal Stone
boarded the schooner. A heavy coll of
rope hung over the stern, completely
concealing the name. The deckhouse was
covered with white canvas, giving the
craft the appearance of a fishing schoon
er. The interior was in an Indescribable
condition of filth. The only persona on
board were two sailors. The vessel was
confiscated and the two sailors were ar
rested and brought ashore.
How Chinese Are Brought In.
The two men captured on board were
Edward K. Jenkins, of South Boston, and
William A. Duncan, of Somervllle. Ac
cording to their story, they, with "Al"
Ames, of Boston, constituted the crew
of the smuggler, while Herbert Boyle
came In the vessel. The two last named
are now at large, as are 26 Chinamen
who had been landed before the police
discovered that the Frolic was in the
harbor.
v Jenkins and Duncan said they were
hired by Captain Colby to man the
Frolic. They sailed from Boston on
August 29. and headed for Halifax.
Upon arrlvlns at that port Capta'n
Colby told his men that the sailing
party had not put In an appearance,
and he then set sail for Placentla. N.
F. At that place 42 Chinese were tak
en on b"ard. With his cargo of human
freight below decks. Captain Colby
hoisted all available canvas and start
ed on his voyage down the coast. The
Frolio put in at Saint Pierre. Miquelon,
where a French Custom-House official
put out In a dory and demanded the
ship's papers. A manifest was pro
duced by Colby, but the Frenchman did
not seem satisfied and. as he stood in
his dory asking questions. Captain
Colby.- according to his crew, gave the
word to set every stiich of sail. At the
same moment he leaned over the side
and cut the painter of the little dory
The schooner sailed away under a erood
breeze, leaving the customs ofllcjal
helpless so far as giving chase was
concerned.
Jenkins and Duncan assert that they
were not chased by revenue cutters and
they were not sware that the United
States immigration officials were on
their track. li'e weather down the
coast was rough, and the Chinamen,
packed in a 6paco iar too small, were
In a pitiable condition.
Kegular Smuggling Tronic.
Jenkins. Duncan and John C. Lehne
mann. of Boston, who was arrested
later, were brought before the United
States authorities here and sent to jail
in default of $2500 each. Lehnemann
stated that the smuggling of Chinese
Into New England States has been car
ried on for years with great profit. He
stated that an expedition like that of
the Frolic netted about $15,000.
Asked how the smugglers were able
to evade the officials, he answered:
"That's easy. Most places in New
England are 'fixed,' and we don't have
any trouble."
Lehnemann explained that the Chi
nese were brought from their native
country to Canada, and from there in
small g-roups to Newfoundland, where
they were held to await a vessel from
the United States.
"Not long ago." continued Lehne
mann, "a ship went into Boston Harbor
and landed 21 Ch'nese."
According to Lehnemann. the expedi
tions are backed by a man named
Goodman Phillips, of Boston, who is
now in England.
TOKENS OF VICTORY. .
Local Baseball Fans to Give Souve
nirs to Players.
The many Portland baseball enthusiasts
who have been regaled during the past
season with as splendid an article of their
favorite sport as has ever been their
fortune to witness, are shortly to be
called upon to contribute liberally toward,
a fund for presenting the Individual play
ers of the Portland team with some ap
propriate souvenir of their victory In
the Pacific Coast League . Season which
will shortly be concluded.
The proposition was advanced several
days ago by Fred N. Bay who proposed
to start a subscription for the purpose
of giving the players some little token
of the fans' appreciation of their victory
This suggestion was called to the atten
tion of Tom Richardson, manager of the
Commercial Club, who is sponsor of the
name "Beavers." by which title the club
has been known this season. Manager
Richardson took the matter up with the
Commercial Club yesterday with the re
sult that the club selected as a general
committee the following fans: Sheriff
Stevens. Fred Olson. W. T. Pangle, Wil
liam J. Petrain. Tom Richardson. Charles
Stinger,' C. B. Hickman. Dr. James C.
Zan. A. D. Charlton. George Trowbridge,
Fred N. Bay and Fred P. Baumgartner.
A meeting of this committee has been
called for Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock
In the parlors of the Commercial Club,
when plans for the raising of this sub
scription will be discussed. It is desired
to raise a suitable amount that will en
able the committee on behalf of the fans
of Portland to present the members of
the team with some little trophy that
will commemorate the winning of the
pennant by the members of the crack
aggregation, many of whom will be scat
tered throughout the country by the time
next season rolls around. Mementos of
this kind it is urged, keep players in
closer touch with fans and 6erves to in
crease their Interest in the game. The
members of the Oakland and Los An
geles teams, both of which have won
pennants in this league, are wearing
souvenir badges of their victories, and
the Tacoma Club was presented with new
clothing as the evidence of the fans' appreciation.
PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES
XEAKLY 60,000 BOOKS ADDED
DURIXG THE YEAR.
Some Counties Ralsa. More Than the
Amount of Tax Required
by Law.
SALEM, Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.) Over
3,0X books were added to public school
libraries in the State of Oregon during the
year 1906, under the provisions of the law
which requires county courts to levy a
tax equal to 10 cents per capita, upon the
school population for library purposes.
The books cost a total of 11,S02. of which
sura $&00 was raised by other means than
the direct tax, such as by giving enter
tainments, collecting subscriptions, etc.
That there is general interest in the
school library movement Is indicated by
the fact that 75 per cent of the counties
sent money for books in addition to that
required by law.
The books purchased this year have not
yet been delivered, but will be in the
hands of county superintendents by Oc
tober 31 and will be sent to the districts
by the superintendent or can be secured
by the district officers if they call upon
the superintendent at the county seat.
These books go to every schoolhouse
in the State, the number depending upon
the school population of the district. The
smaller districts will have only two or
three new books, while the larger ones
will have many. Eact district will re
ceive its proportion of books and next
year and in succeeding years a corre
sponding number, until the schools will
eventually have good local libraries. The
books purchased for each district are se
lected by the teacher or school officiaJs
so that If a school has already acquired
a book another copy is not purchased
for it.
This year a number of counties raised
more money by taxation than was re
quired by law. Lake County raised 30
cents per capita. Klamath 12Vi cents. Mal
heur 12'4 cents, Tillamook 15 cents and
other counties smaller sums. The money
was expended for books at prices fixed
after competitive bids, so that the books
were purchased at lower prices than
could be secured from local book dealers.
LrtJRE WITH HIGHER WAGES
Larger Hood River Fruitgrowers
Take Apple-Pickers From Others.
HOOD EIVER. Or.. Oct 10. (Special.)
Labor is at such a premium at Hood
River that prominent fruitgrowing con
cerns needing men are sending emissaries
about offering employes of ranchers and
others higher wages. In order to get them
to desert their employer Although 150
or more Japanese have been shipped into
Hood River recently to pick apples and
work In the sawmills, there is such a
dearth of men that the apple crop is men
aced, and if labor of some kind Is not
soon found it may mean a serious loss to
apple-growers. White labor is preferred
to Japanese, but it Is impossible to get
It at present at any price, and for this
reason a good many brown men have
been put to .picking apples.
As the lumber mills are In as great
need of men as the fruitgrowers, the
Elppa Orchard Company, which owns a
mill In the upper Mount Hood district, is
said by fruitgrowers to be sending men
about taking their apple-pickers away
from them. One apple-grower says that
while he was away from home they .went
to his orchard and prevailed on his men
to 6trike. and that other Japanese In the
neighborhood, hearing that they could get
more money from the Orchard Company's
mill, also quit.
There is considerable feeling over the
matter, and growers are denouncing the
methods of the Elppa people. The Orch
ard Company says that It Is a case of
supply and demand, and if they are will
ing to pay more money for labor than
the ranchers, they are entitled to the
men.

Against Harmsworth Magazine.
Did 'ot TTse Tammany for
Personal Gain.
DUBLIN. Oct. 10. Richard Croker to
day formally inaugurated the libel
euit which will bring to a definite is
sue the auestlon whether he used his
position as chief of Tammany Hall for
purposes of financial profit. The suit
is against a London magazine which
publishes in its current number a
scathing article against the growth, of
to-called "Tammanylsm" in England.
Incidentally detailing in chapters the
operations of Tweed and Croker.
The latter's affidavit makes sweep
ing denial of any wrongdoing while
head of Tammany Hall, and especially
denies using the organization for pur
poses of extortion or personal profit.
The case will be tried before an Irish
Jury, and It is expected will attract
much attention, owing to the Issue over
the honesty pf Tammany's administra
tion. That a notable array of lawyers
will be retained Is indicated by the
position of Mr. Croker's counsel, James
William Campbell. K. C, who repre
sented Dublin University in the House
of Commons, and who was successively
Solicitor-General and Attorney-General
for Ireland under the late Balfour gov
ernment. In the- Four Courts. J. W. Campbell.

the London Magazine, applied for per
mission to serve a writ on the Amalgam
ated Press, publishers of the magazine.
The Amalgamated Press Is one of the
Harmsworth companies, with headquar
ters in London, so It was necessary to
obtain the sanction of the court to servo
the writ outside the court's Jurisdiction.
Mr. Campbell pointed out that the Dublin
agents of the defendant had been served
with a writ on behalf of the defendant.
Mr. Croker, he 6ald, sought in addition
to recover damages to restrain the de
fendants from publishing certain "gross
and defamatory statements concerning
him." under the heading of "Tammany
Jn England." "It Is of the utmost Im
portance to Mr. Croker that he should
have an early opportunity of vindicating
his character." continued the counsel.
Justice Gibbon gave counsel permission
to serve the writ on the secretary of the
Amalgamated Press.
