BURNS IS HENEY
Two Work Together to Catch
San Francisco Grafters.
GIVEN LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Secret Service Agent Picked by Great
Prosecutor as Right Hand Man
In Prosecntlon of Alleged
Municipal Ring.
Th foil estimate and appreciation of
th work performed in the prosecution
of the land-fraud cases by Francis J.
Heney a-nd "William J. Burns, the latter
of the Se.-ret Service, has never been
more fully shown than in their selec
tion for work in San Francisco munici
pal affairs. The fact that the Govern
ment fully indorses their past -work
and the necessity for their presence in
Can Francisco is evidenced by the lea-e
of absence granted Mr. Burns from the
Federal service.
When he accepted the task of run
ning to earth the San Francisco graft
ers. Heney declared that he is more
'than sure of his ground, and that the
cnly assistance he requires is that of
Burns, his co-worker in the land-fraud
cases. The statement given out by
Jleney was:
"I would not have consented to take
office a.s Assistant restrict Attorney
with a view of probing municipal graft
and lawlessness in this city until I
was asrured of the assistance of Burns.
The value of the work and the ability
Burns showed in the Oregon land-fraud
cases entitles him to be considered one
of the greatest officers the Secret
Service has ever had. Burns is familiar
witt the situation here and knows the
enormous difficulties that confront us,
but. on the whole, I do not think they
'are any greater than we had to face
In Oregon. Unless I felt confident in
my ability to succeed in this under
taking I would not go into It, and the
rtame may be said for Burns.
It is an unusual condition that brings
out the loan of Government employes
:for work outside of Federal authori
ty, and the' fact that the aid of Mr,
(Burns in the San Francisco matters
;ould be obtained is generally thought
'to be an indication of the Government's
interest in the rehabilitation of the
city. Further, it is conceded that the
request of Mr. Heney, backed by citi
zens of San Francisco, had much to do
with the clinching of the leave of ab
sence. Burns Is well and favorably known
in San Francisco. He came into prom
inence there through his connection
with the Hyde-Benson land-fraud
rases and the arrest of Dimmick. the
Treasurer of the United States Mint.
His most famous Eastern case, that of
the Philadelphia-Lancaster counter
feiting gang, in which a former United
Stares attorney. Ingham, was con
nected, and his later work in the Ore
gon land-fraud cases, has served to
give him such a reputation as to cause
"hfef Wilkle to say to Heney when
Burns leave of absence was asked for:
'Burns has never failed and If he loses
now this will be the first time."
According to San Francisco advices
Heney and Burns have now entered
into the work of probing the charges
of municipal gj-aft in San Francisco.
They will not admit that they have
any evidence gathered, but their atti
tude and actions easily lead to the be
lief that when the grand Jury is called
this week they will be fully prepared
to begin the presentation of the case
from the position of the District At-
' torney's office.
While prosecuting the San Francisco
: graft charges. Mr. Heney will still
take active charge of those land-fraud
cases In which he Is most deeply in
terested, notably those of Congressman
' Hermann, both in "Washington and
Portland, and ex-United States District
Attorney John H. Hall. One or two
other cases may appea.l to Mr. Heney
sufficiently to insure his personal at
tention, but It is believed tha.t the re-
. roaming cases wfll be turned over to
the care of Mr. Bristol.
STAMP OUT HOODLUMS.
Protest Against Riotous Conduct
During Cbinei Festival.
PORTLAND. Oct. 2!. (To the Edi
tor. i I read In today's Oregonlan that
the Portland Chinese will tomorrow
night, and for several nights following
celebrate the "Feast of spirits." I wish
to put in a plea for order and decency
on these occasions, not on the part of
the Chinese participants, but on the
part of the American spectators.
Moved by curiosity, about five years
asro or thereabouts. I went to Second
s-treet Chinatown to witness some cele
bration, and visited two joss houses
"FOUND PUBLIC PLAYGROUND AND
DIMINISH JAILBIRDS," SAYS JUDGE
"The City of Portland Should Pay Attention to Younger Generation,"
Is His Argument.
A PUBLIC PLAYGROUND, in which
the children of Portland and their
riders, if they choose, may gather and
engage in sport and recreation, is advo
cated by Municipal Judge Cameron. In
Mich a pleasure resort Judge Cameron
declares he can see the redemption of
the youth of the city, the diminishing of
juvenile crime and the lessening of the
long roll of jailbirds and convicts.
Judge Cameron has given much thought
to the rroject that he declares to be of
such importance to Portland, and states
that he has gone to the trouble of look
ing up a good site for a playground and
how to secure it.-
"For a long time I have been studying
over plans for a public playground in
Portland, and I am convinced that if the
city can secure a good one. it will go far
toward decreasing crime, and that it will
improve conditions wonderfully among
the youth. I think I can see where a
great mistake is being made in not hav
ing such a place, and it is too had that
one is not owned by the municipality
now.
"I have been investigating conditions as
to a locality for a public playground, and
how to secure the Fite. The only place I
have been able to discover is a tract
lying between Hawthorne avenue and Di
vision street and East Twelfth and East
Twenty-first streets. It is a handsome
piece of ground, with a knoll on the east
ern end that would be fine for parents
to sit and watch the children play, if
they so chose.
"Now, as to how to get the ground for
a site: There Is a section of the charter
and two Chinese restaurants. All
four places were overrun by white
hoodlums not the little hoodlums who
run after a Chinaman and knock off his
hat and run. though indeed these small
tormentors are in many cases in train
ing for the grown hoodlum brother
hood, whose members, if they directed
their persecutions toward a. white man,
would land in jail or the penitentiary.
These hoodlums of Chinatown were
grown men, '"out on a .lark." and whose
fun consisted in scattering the food in
the restaurants ami stealing it. n
breaking the ornaments and upsetting
chairs and tables.
In the Joss houses, these "civilized"
visitors knocked down nic-nacs and
ornaments. and in vulgar phrase
ology, "rough-housed. until to decent
people the scene was disgusting and
humiliating. In hallways and on side
walks I taw other disgraceful proceed
ings. Two hulking men came up be
hind a Chinaman, palled his queue,
knocked off his hat. then knocked him
down and ran. But that. too. was only
a "lark." I saw several Chinamen who
were attending to their own business,
annoyed by other cowards out on
"larks." I did not see a single police
man, until one appeared late in the
evening where some men were pulling
a Chinaman's coat-tail and striking him
on the back and arms. The policeman
remarked blandly. "Don't do it any
more, boys." and then the men discon
tinued their treatment for a few mo
ments. To decent people the attitude of the
American hoodlums toward the inno
cent Chinese is distressing, not tot say
mortifying. It is opposed to the spirit
of the United States and to the honor
codes of right-thinking men and wom
en. It is useless to appeal to the hood
lums, for they are a vicious class 'as &
rule (though on my memorable visit
to Chinatown I did spy in one of the
gangs a boy of 19, son of Christian (?)
parents, who every sEunday accompa
nies his father and mother to church
and listens to the gospel of Jesus
Christ. It Is useless to appeal 'to the
hoodlums, but I am speaking through
The Oregonian, the newspaper of jus
tice, to good citizens and to the city
authorities, that a sufficient police
force may be stationed in Chinatown
during the Chinese festival and after
to prevent this shame to us as Amer
icans. G. G. THOMPSON.
Much-Robbed Tailor
Buys Bulldog
Savase Beast Will Attend to Cus
toiuera AYbo Come Through Win
dows of Scbulze'a Establishment
After Dark.
MERCHANT TAILOR T. SCHTJLZE.
at 3T2 East Burnside street, whose
place of business has been robbed five
times within the past few years, and
twice last week, has secured a savage
bulldog to attend to his business and look
after customers wno come through the
front window at night. Schulze guaran
tees that this bulldog thproughly under
stands his business and will treat all
alike who happen to drop in after mid
night. That the store is marked for rob
bery there seems to be no question.
Schulze said yesterday:
"A rough-looking man came prowling
at the back door of my store Saturday.
I asked him what he wanted, and he re
plied: 'Do you think President Roosevelt
will be a candidate for President for a
third term?' I said that T was not ac
quainted with President Roosevelt, but
understood he said he didn't want the
job. The fellow then walked through my
store from the back door to the front,
carefully examining my stock as he
went."
"This fellow had scarcely gone when
another fellow came in and asked me for
a job. He was dressed even more rough
ly than the first, and did not look like he
wanted work. I told him I had nothing
for him to do. He then said. 'Have you
got any money?" and I said that I had
been robbed so often I was out of cash.
He, too. examined my stock of goods very
carefully before he went out the front
door. I have no doubt both these fellows
were sizing up the situation and seeing
what the chances were. My bulldog will
wait on them."
SUNSET LIMITED IN DITCH
Forty "Yegroes Injured. One of Whom

Npw ORLEANS. Oct. 22. The derail

40" negroes, one of whom died Immediate

injured. The engine, mail and combina

The Sunset IJmited for California left

curred at Boutte. which, although only
24 miles west of here, is a run of an hour
and a half, owing to the river and inter

that gives the city the right to condemn
land by right of eminent domain, and
provision is made whereby. In case ex
orbitant prices are demanded by the own
er, or in case a price cannot be agreed
upon, it may be settled by Jury in the
courts.
"There is no doubt as to how the city
may proceed to condemn and take pos
session of land desired for public pur
poses, either in tlie city or county, as
there are numerous decisions from the
Oreaon Supreme Court, and from the
United States Supreme Court, backing up
the right of eminent domain.
"I believe that a public playground is
badly needed in Portland. If one is es
tablished, it would cause an immediate
decrease in juvenile crime. There is no
question about it. Give the children and
the young people a place to play, and
they will be kept out of mischief, but
give them no place, and they will go
where they never should go. There are
about SiV children in our public schools.
I ask. 'Where do they go after their
studies are over for the day? Some of
them go home, but hundreds wander
about the streets and scores venture into
sections of the city where they should
not go. This makes criminals of them,
and eventually they land in the Police
Court or the Juvenile Court.
"'There is no place now in Portland for
children to play. Many times I have had
boys before me on charges of playing
ball in the public streets or for trespass
ing upon private property to play ball.
It is a big mistake for a. city of Port
land's size not to have spacious public
playgrounds.
NIGHT OF HORROR
Mrs. Zell Tells Story of Murder
of Her Husband.
ASSAULTED BY RANCH HAND
Audience in Court Room at Frine
ville Is Greatly Moved by the
Simple Testimony of
ttie Witness.
PRINEVTLLE, Or. Oct. 22 (Special.)
After telling the story of -the murder of
her husband. Ben F. Zell. by Fred Shep
herd a ranch hand, at their ranch house.
IS miles south of this city, early one
morning, a few weeks since, and of the
succeeding criminal assault made upon
her by Shepherd. Mrs. Zell. weeping bit
terly. and on the verge of collapse, was
tenderly led from the witness stand by
her brother, this afternoon. No attempt
at cross-examination was made by the de
fense, and in spite of her painful posi
tion. Mrs. Zell was a good witness, giv
ing a straightforward and convincing ac
count of a night of horror.
The wide acquaintance and prominence
of the Zells brought a large crowd to the
Courthouse to hear the trial of bhepnera,
held before Judge A. L. Frazer. of Port
land, who Is taking the place of Judge
Bradshaw for the term. Many women
were in the audience, and there was
scarcely a dry eye in the courtroom when
the sole eye-witness to the tragedy had
finished her testimony. Mrs. Zell testi
fled briefly as follows:
Early in the morning Shepherd, who
was employed on the Zell ranch, came
into the room where Mr. anrl Mrs. Zell
were sleeping and roused them. Shep
herd carried a rifle and a coil of rope.
He ordered them to rise, hold up their
hands and turn their backs. Then, throw
ing the rope to Mrs. Zell, he ordered her
to bind her husband.
Mrs. Zell refused, and she and Mr. Zell
ran out of a door opposite to that by
which the ranch hand had entered and
started for the .barn. Shepherd fired and
missed, but pursued the pair through
the barn and fired a second shot, which
brought down Zell. Zell expired within
a few minutes.
Shepherd then seized Mrs. Zell. aragged
her back to the house and assaulted her.
Another ranch hand. "Dakota" by name,
fled at the crack of the rifle, and Mrs
Zell secured her liberty by promising to
lay the murder at "Dakota's" door. Then
she escaped to the Johnson ranch, and
told of the murder.
Sheriff Frank Elkinst testified to the ar
rest of the murderer and of his confes
sion of the crimes. Other witnesses gave
brief corroborative testimony and the
prosecution rested.
When court meets at 9 o'clock tomorrow
the defense will be presented. It is ex
pected that the plea will be insanity. At
the present time there seems, to be no
doubt of conviction.
SALEM HAS TOXGtTE TWISTER
Delegation From Fanatics in Los
Angeles Are Expected Soon.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 22 (Special.) Several
of the religious fanatics who have created
such a stir in Los Angeles, where SOO con
verts were made by those who spoke with
"tongues pt fire." are expected to arrive
in Salem in a day or two to carry on the
work here. Their arrival was expected a
week ago, tout for some reason they have
been delayed. The Los Angeles workers,
it is announced, will aid in the evangel
istic services being conducted by Rev. M.
L. Ryan at the Holiness Mission, on
Twelfth street, in this city. Ryan is a
believer in the "tongues of fire" doctrine,
and alleges that he himself is frequently
inspired with power to speak in "many
tongues."
Sometimes when preaching Ryan talks
in a language unknown to his auditors,
and sometimes, so he says, unknown to
himself. On one occasion he talked in
what he said was the Hindoo language,
and again in a dialect used by tribes in
North Africa.
Ryan claims that sometimes through his
ministrations demons are cast out of af
flicted persons. A few evenings ago a
woman who said she suffered so badly
from rheumatism that she could not lift
her arm applied to Ryan for help. In the
presence of his congregation he closed a
prayer with a command for the demon to
depart, and at once the woman regained
power to use her arm with perfect free
dom. Ryan does not, however, pose as a
"healer.'
Though he is extremely zealous and at
times very demonstrative in his manner,
Ryan has always dLscouraged and sup
pressed the sort of religious frenzy wh,ich
has resulted in unbalancing the minds of
followers of other religious leaders. He
alleges that his teachings are antagonistic
to those of the Holy Rollers, the Dowie
ites and other sects that have fallen into
disrepute.
Ryan was born and raised near Perry
dale in Polk County, and has been preach
ing in Salem for the past ten years. Sa
lem people are waiting with some curios
ity the arrival of the Los Angeles evan
gelists. Fires Shots in Crowded Street.
OAKLAND, Cal., Oct. 22. Victor Es
worth. a saiior. created considerable
consternation on San Pablo avenue,
just before noon today, by firing sev
eral shots from a revolver into the
crowded street, and then discharging
two bullets into his own body. Es
worth is not believed to be seriously
injured, and will be examined before a
sanity commission. The police learned
that the sailor secured the revolver in
a hardware store, where he threatened
to kill one of the employes.
Girl's Boast May Hang Thug.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 22. In the
statement of Effie Corry, a refugee friend
of Margerie Ryan, the police believe that
they have the link of testimony in the
chain that will send Ralph Scanlin to the
gallows. According to this girl. Scanlin
has confessed, not only to the killing of
Friede. but to the murder of Pfitzner, the
McAllister-street merchant. The confes
sion was made in the form of a boast by
Margerie Ryan that Scanlin had been kill
ing men to get money to spend upon her.
Poisoned by Acetic Acid.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22. The mys
tery surrounding the death of Mrs. Erna
Davis, the 22-year-old woman whose life
less body was found Saturday afternoon
in a room at 12S7 Turk street, was in
tensified last night by the report of the
cltv chemist that death was due to acetic
acid poisoning. An investigation has been
begun by the police department to deter
mine in what manner the poison was pro
cured and how it had been administered.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct 23. (Special.)
Miss Cora B- Randall, aged 50. Is su
ing William Harrison, 61 years of age.
for JSOOO damages for breach of prom
ise. Miss Randall alleges that Harri
son gave her a small truck garden at
Bryn Mawr and courted her ardently
cs she struggled to make mushrooms
grow from the soil. One day, she
avers, the aged suitor allowed his arm
to slip around her waist, and. coyly
asked her to marry him. Miss Randall
claims the wedding date was fixed late
in October, but later set over until
April 15. 1S05. After she had pur
chased a trousseau, she says, Harrison
refused to marry her.
Harrison . says he is a woman-hater,
and that Miss Harrison forced herself
upon him. He swore today that he had
attended a card party at which Miss
Randall was a guest, and was asked
to take her home, but he feared the
woman and after putting her on a oar,
walked away. He says Miss Randall
followed him, and finally entered his
garden at Bryn Mawr and asked him
to marry her. Then, Harrison says,
he drove her away with a hoe, threat
ening to break her head if she came
back. The case is now on trial.
HALF FARE FOR CHILDREN
Tacoma Councilman Would Hold Vp
Franchise of Power Company.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 22. (Special.)
The Tacoma Railway & Power Com
pany will never get another franchise
in Tacoma until it establishes a half
fare rate for all school children, if
Councilman Christoflerson has his way.
He has asked Asistant City Attorney
Quick to look up the franchise of the
company to see whether there is any
provision for half-fare for school chil
dren in them, and if there is. action
will be started in the City Council to
compel the street-car company to carry
all students for half fare.
"If there is no such provision in the
franchise, and the company wants to
operate under those old franchises and
take advantage of the public in this
manner, then I am in favor of holding
up every franchise they ask for in the
future," said Councilman Christoffer
sen. SAVAGE DOG ATTACKS HORSE
Equine Puts Cp a Game Struggle,
but Is Severely Torn.
TACOMA, Wash.. Oct 22. Special.)
A savage dog owned by C. N. Linsey
attacked a horse driven by J. Smith
Saturday and nearly killed the animal
before he could be driven off. The dog
is a cross between a mastiff and bull
dog, and weighs between 80 and 100
pounds. First the dog caught the horse
by the nose, dragging its head to the
ground. The horse squealed and fought
with the big dog and finally jerked its
head away, tearing out pieces of the
flesh of the nose and lip in doing so.
The dog then grabbed the horse by
the foreleg and made a lunge,
getting a hold on the horse's breast.
