THE MORNING OREGONTAN, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1907. 10 TEES SEIO'S PIM Chinese Interpreter Comes Here From St. Louis. FRANK TAPE IS HIS NAME Portland Man Will Probably Remain in Immigration Service Here. Straus Is to Create a Place for Him. Frank Tape, who succeeded Seld Back, ft., as Chinese Interpreter' at this port, arrived from St. Louis yesterday and entered immediately upon his official l. duties under Immigration Inspector J. H. Barbour. The order to transfer Tape to Portland from St. Louis was issued several weeks ago and young Seid was to take the place made vacant In the Missouri city. " Seid, however, demurred - and tendered his resignation, not wishing to leave his home city where he has busi ness interests which he does not wish to sacrifice. Mr. Seid remained in the immigration office until Tape arrived yesterday. On learning the desire of Seid to remain at Portland, Oscar S. Straus, Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who was recently in the city, declared that he would probably create a position for Seid In the service at this port. The Secretary Informed Mr. Barbour that Seid is a man too valuable to lOjse, and would be retained in the service if such an arrangement as making a place for him here can be made. Tape has been In the service at St. Louis for three years. He went there during the World's Fair as a sightseer. Soon after his arrival he was appointed to the position of Chinese interpreter, and it is said that he proved to be the most capable man who had ever been stationed at that post. He was instru mental In breaking up an organized gang formed for the sole purpose of evading the exclusion law and bringing Chinese into this country by the hundreds. Nu merous deportations resulted from his unceasing activity in the enforcement of the law. Tape's name soon became a terror to Chinese not holding valid certificates of registration and identification. He is about 27 years old and is a native ot San Francisco. He speaks English as fluently as Chinese. Mr. Barbour is con fident that he will sustain his reputation as official Interpreter during his stay at ' Portland. On Sunday Secretary Straus met and gave an informal talk to the various em ployes in the Immigration Service at the office of Inspector Barbour in the Custom-House building. He told them that efficiency and not political pull counted with him, and as rapidly as they dem onstrated their worth they would be pro moted. He made it plain that honesty and hard faithful work would be the points on which he would judge of their worth. He also took occasion to compli ment the local inspector in charge of the showing he had made -in enforcing the law. Mr. Straus requested that 'in the en forcement of the law all nationalities should be treated alike. He said that he would insist that particular tact should be used in dealing with Japanese. THREE FLY NORWEGIAN FLAG Tramp Steamers in Port Have Large Aggregate Tonnage. With the arrival of the Norwegian steamship Thyra from San Francisco to morrow there will be three tramps - in port flying the Norwegian flag and hav ing an aggregate displacement of 8002 net registered. tons. The other two steamers are the Henrik Ibsen and Mathilda. The Thyra Is of 2419 tons; the Henrik Ibsen 2060 and the Mathilda 2623. Steamers flying the Norwegian flag made the nearest approach to this show ing last March, when the Horfielen, Sidra and Terje Viken wore in the harbor to gether. Their aggregate tonnage was 7302, or 700 tons less than that of the trio to be here this week. Consul Cederberg produced statistics last evening to show the wonderful growth of Norway's merchant marine trade in this part of the globe during the past two years. In 1905 there was not a single vessel to visit this port flying the flag of his country. In 1906 there were six steamers and one sailing Ves sel, having a combined tonnage of 15,37. During the seven months of this year, 13 Norwegian steamers of 29.671 tons net register have arrived at Portland. One of them, the Henrik Ibsen, has the dis tinction of being the largest owned and operated by a Norwegian firm. Mr. Cederberg accounts for the large, number of steamers visiting the Pacific Coast of late by the fact that the Jap , anese have crowded them out of Oriental waters. Formerly and until very recent ly many of the tramps were engaged in the China and East India trade. NARROWLY ESCAPES COLLISION Steam Schooner Barely Misses Nor wegian Tramp in Fog. Declaring that the flour which had been brought in cars from points in the interior as cargo for the Norwegian steamship Henrik Ibsen had been dam aged by coal dust, Captain J. S, Kein ertsen, master of the vessel, refused to allow it to be loaded. As a conse quence the big tramp remained idle yesterday at he Albina dock though full preparations had been completed in the morning to begin the work of load her. Late in the afternoon the ' Fra.nk Waterhouse Company, which chartered the steamer, agreed to protect the cap tain and owners of the steamship against loss in case the Importers found fault with the flour. The master then gave his consent to receive the shipment and the task of loading the craft will be started today. The cap tain says the flour was badly damaged by being loaded in cars which had been used for hauling coal. After taking on 2500 tons of flour the Henrik Ibsen will complete her cargo with lumber. She will clear for North China ports. Coming up the coast from San Fran cisco the Henrik Ibsen had a narrow escape from being rammed and sunk by a passing steam schooner, according to Captain Reinertscn. When off Point Reyes on July 12, at 11 o'clock at night, he says he sighted a steam schooner headed directly for him. It was foggy ana she was nearly upon the Norwegian before being sighted. The latter changed her course in Just the nick of time, to prevent a disaster. "I could not make out her name," says the captain, "but the stranger was so close that I could talk to her officers. Though the fog was heavy she was blowing no whistles. Apparently she was not aware of our presence un til I hid sung out to her. I never saw auch a loose method In complying with the law, which makes It plain that whistles should be kept going during a fog." HUSBAND FINED, WIFE LEAVES J. B. McFarland Found Guilty ot Assaulting Old Man. JUNCTION CITY. Or., July 22. (Spe cial.) J. B. McFarland, blacksmith, pleaded guilty before justice Clark to a charge of assaulting Elza Johnson, a man 70 years old, and was fined $19 and costs.

Gunda, an ele phant at the Bronx zoological park, abruptly ended a country couple's hon eymoon by chewing all their ready cash. The big animal collects cents dally from spectators and hoards them in a bank up above his head. James Hlnchcliffe and Kis bride, who were Just married at Pawling, N. Y., were standing before Gunda's cage, watching him collect pennies from the crowd. Hlnchcliffe pulled out his pocket book containing $250 in bills to see if his money was safe, whereupon Gunda deft ly grabbed the greenbacks with his. trunk and stuck them Into his mouth. Two keepers rushed up and prodded the beast until he yielded the cash. The money looked as though it had been through a corn shelter, only a single dollar being passable. The bride wept bitterly, but the bridegroom cheered her with the observation that the elephant had left them enough with which to return to Pawling. But first he will try to get the Subtreasury to redeem some of the pulpy tens and twenties.

Robinson & Co. LAW IS UNDER FIRE Klamath Men Attack the Na tional Irrigation Act. IN CONDEMNATION SUIT Question Riht of Government to Take Private Property for Re clamation Purposes Say It Is Not Public Use. Under the provisions of the National ir rigation law can the United States con demn private property when such action Is necessary for the completion of an irrigation project? The question of this right has been raised In the United States Circuit Court in this city by Alex Martin, Jr., and Fred H. Mills, of Klamath Falls, who assail the constitutionality of the ir rigation law as enacted by Congress. Martin and Mills are defendants in an action brought by the Government for the condemnation of a strip of land adja cent to Klamath Falls which Is needed to complete the extensive irrigation proj ect that is being carried Ymt in Klamath County. The strip of land Involved con sists of about and and one-half acres, for which the Government offered the owners $1000, but the proposal was rejected and $3000 was demanded. The representatives of the Government considered this price in excess of the true worth of the land and upon reporting the matter to Wash ington were instructed to bring condemn ation proceedings against Martin and Mills. The suit came up in the United States Court yesterday on a demurrer to" the complaint, the defendants contending that the Government does not have the right under the irrigation law to condemn prop erty for other than public uses. Their position is that the Government is seek ing to use this strip of land for private, rather than for public use. In opposing this argument the Deputy United States District Attorney took the position that the use of any land in reclaiming a desert can be considered only a public use of that property. The question was taken under advisement by judge Wolverton. This Is the first time the constitutional ity of the irrigation law under which vast areas of this state are being made pro ductive has been questioned. The decis ion of the trial court will be expectantly awaited since it Is considered a vital question as affecting the different irri gation projects in progress and others that are contemplated In this state.

George N. Wolf, Superintendent of Pris ons for the Philippine Islands, has filed suit at St. Helens. Columbia County, for divorce.

CHICAGO. July 22. Creil Worthlngton Everlelgh-de-Moleyns, formerly known in Chicago as "Lord" DeMoleyns, arrived from New York last night, a prisoner, to answer the charge of wife abandonment. He denies, emphatically, statements made to the police ten days ago by the Hon. Edward de Moleyns, son of Lord Ventry, to the effect that Creil is not a real DeMoleyns, but a former valet of one, impersonating his former master. The prisoner claims to be the son of William De-uoleyns. and a nephew of Lord Ven try, of Ireland. A short time after Detective Kane en tered the central station with his pris oner, Mrs. DeMoleyns entered carrying hen 17-months-old daughter. Since her husband deserted her, Mrs. DeMoleyns has been supporting herself and child. Several detectives who saw the meeting between the husband and wife said that from the actions of the two they would become reconciled. DeMoleyns was indicted April 22, 1906, for wife and child abandonment. According to his story, DeMoleyns came to America 20 years ago, after he had served with the Egyptian cavalry of the English army, under Lord Kitchener, who then was a Major. After a time in New York he said he opened a private stable In Chicago, and was married here, in FOR THAT FISHING TRIP The summer outing you have been looking forward to will be incomplete without that in comparable multum in parVo food, TRfSGUIT U the shredded wheat wafer. b Contains all the nutriment you J 'need for the day's tramp, for S luncheon at home or abroad.

WHITING A REMARKABLE LETTER St. Louis, June 25th, 1907. Messrs. Wertheimer-Swarts Shoe Co., St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Sirs: I recently sold out all of my Arkansas interests and after July' 1st, I will be down In Tennessee as a general sales man for Ely & Walker Dry Goods Co., but before I go I want to secure myself against another attack of the King of all DlseaseB rheumatism, and I believe I can do this by wearing another pair of Dr. John Wilson GJbbs' "ELBCTKI CURA" shoes. . About one year ago I was considered by friends and several physlcans, a hope less Ylctlm of rheumatism. I was re duced in flesh more than one-third, and my nervous system was a complete wreck. I spent about three months at Hot Springs, Ark., and eight weeks at Marlin Hot Wells, Texas, taking in all 116 hot vapor baths; I also spent eight weeks at Mineral Wells, Texas, drinking from 15 to 65 pints of the celebrated "Crazy Well" water. I returned from there to Little Rock, Ark., and under one of the most eminent physicians in the country, I took a course of Goatlymph. After all of this I was able to walk with out my crutches, but was very weak and suffered quite a good deal with my rheu matism. One of your representatives, Mr. Jesse Prewitt, who is qute a warm friend of mine, insisted upon my trying a pair of Dr. John Wilson Gibbs" "ELECTRICU- RA" shoes. I was skeptical at first for" I had had submitted to me by letter, 'phone, telegraph, and through the Inter vention of friends, several thousands of "sure cures' for Theumatism, and I had sworn off ever trying anything else that was to take or rub, but as Mr. Prewitt as sured me that if these shoes did not give satisfactory wear aside from their curative powers, he would pay for them, I consented to try a pair. I got well and don't know whether the shoes cured me or not, but I haven't a sign of rheuma tism and have gained back my lost strength and flesh, and I think so well of the shoes that I Intend to wear' them as long as I can get them. Anybody who wants to know what I think about "ELECTRICURA" shoes, you may respectfully refer them to me, and I will take pleasure In stating what they have done for me.' ' Will you please let me know where I can get a pair of these shoes here in the city of St. Louis? Yours very truly, FRED D. WHITING. Inquiries may be addressed to Mr. Whiting, care of the Maxwell House, Nashville. Tenn. "ELBCTRICURA" shoes will be forwarded by the makers, Wertheimer-Swarts Shoe Co., St. Louis, Mo., upon receipt of money order for $o, charges paid by the makers.

MOIIHRAV, General Passenger AKent, PORTLAND, OIL Men Plain Logic Which Explains My Success If I did not know to a certainty that the service I am prepared to render Is superior to that to'be had elsewhere, it would be folly for me to make the claims I do. There is no physician in the world so skilled and capable that, exaggerated assertions will not quickly ruin his reputation and practice. The doctor who succeeds is always the doctor who is able to do a little more than he tells the people that he can do, and whose ability permits him to say that he can do much. Th afflicted do not rush unthinkingly to a doctor merely upon the strength of his state ments. They look about for evidence of his skill. They observe the volume of his prac tice and investigate his professional stand ing. I invite the most thorough investiga tion. The more thorough the investigation the more certain is the Investigator to be come my patient, and the greater will be his confidence in the treatment he receives. My practice la the largest because I In variably fulfill my promises. "WEAKNESS" '"Weakness" in all its phases and in prac tically every case that comes to me for treat ment is merely a symptom resulting from a state of chronic inflammation existing In the prostate gland. This inflammation may be a lingering result of some contracted dis ease, or may have been brought on by eui ly dissipation, " overwork, etc. In by far the greater number of cases the general health of the patient Is perfect, there being no lack of elt'ner physical or nervous energy. No stimulants or tonics are needed, and if em ployed would only result in temporary ex citement of the functions and positive Injury to the tender and already disordered pros tate., My treatment is a local one entirely. It removes all inflammation, swelling and tenderness from the prostate gland, estab lishes normal circulation throughout the pans and restores permanently and com pletely all natural functions.
