New Order From District At-
lorney Affects All That
Maintain Bars.
CAUSED BY VIOLATIONS
Frequent Complaints of Liquor Sell
ing Lead John Manning to De
cide on Strict Enforcement
of the State Law.
District Attorney Manning will today
serve notices on the proprietors of all
saloons in this city In which billiard or
pool tables are maintained that, begin
ning; with next Sunday, they must keep
their establishments closed throughout
the day. The edict will further declare
that the mere opening of the doors of
these resorts will be construed as a vio
lation of the Sundays-closing law and will
be prosecuted as such. This extension of
the closed Sunday policy of the District
Attorney will affect approximately 100
combination saloon and poolroom estab
lishments. ,'
"When I first ordered the saloons of
this city closed on Sunday," said Mr.
Manning last night. "I liberally construed
the statutes and permitted saloons oper
ating pool and billiard-rooms to remain
open for the day, with the positive un
derstanding that no liquor was to be dis
pensed. But my leniency was repeatedly
abused and about two months ago I no
tified the proprietors of all such resorts
that further violations of the Sunday
closing law would be prosecuted vigor
ously. But the number of complaints was
not diminished and, beginning next Sun
day. I shall place a strict interpretation
on the law and shall require all resorts,
licensed to sell liquor, in which either
pool or billiard tables are kept, to remain
closed for the day.
"Ever since the Sunday-closing law has
been enforced, resorts in which pool and
billiard tables were kept have been per
sistently violating the law as to the sale
of liquor. By every known device and
pretext a large majority of them have
been taking advantage of the liberty en
Joyed and sold liquor .almost Indiscrim
inately. In justice to the other saloons
and as an only remedy to treat with the
abuse. I have concluded to require all of
these places to keep their establishments
closed all day Sunday.
"In the future it will be considered a
violation of the Sunday-closing law for
the proprietor of any of these resorts to
even open the doors of his establishment
durjng that day."
For some, time following the enforce
ment of the Sunday-closing law as to
saloons, there were an average of five ar
rests each week for the illegal sale of
liquor. A liberal share of these viola
tions were charged against saloons In
connection with which pool and billiard
rooms were operated.
DAVENPORT WILL LECTURE
Oregon Cartoonist to Appear at the
White Temple Tomorrow Nlglit.
Tlomcr 'Davenport came to Portland last
night from Sllvcrton, where he has been
vtalting his father for the past three
weeks, and will remain until Thursday,
when he will return to New Tork to re
sume his art work. On Wednesday evon
Ing Mr. Davennort will deliver his famous
lecture at the White Temple, under the
auspices of the White Temple congrega
tion. '
Mr. Davenport has a worldwide reputa
tion as a cartoonist, and a National rep
utation, as a lecturer and traveler. He
has recently returned from an adventur
ous expedition Into the Interior of the
Arabian desert. Into a region never here
tofore penetrated by white men. The
purpose of the trip was to secure and
. bring to thta cotlntrv a number of price
less Arabian war steeds, which was made
possible through the unprecedented action
of the Sultan of Turkey In granting him
special fermisMon for this purpose. This
had never heretofore occurred, and was a
very high mark of distinction. Mr. Dav
enport will tell of his audience with the
Sultan and of the many interesting ex
periences which befell him.
His lecture is not a set affair, and he
speaks of matters and things of pertinent
Interest to the people in his own inlml
table way. He will illustrate his lecture
with drawings which will add greatly to
the Interest of the evening. During the
many years he has been a National figure
Mr. Davenport has enjoyed the friendship
and confidence of the greatest men of the
time, and his reminiscences of them are
vastly entertaining. He will probably re
count a number of these during the
course of his lecture.'
Homer Davenport Is Oregon's most dis
tinguished man. and Portland in partic
ular Is proud of Bis achievements. It Is
probable that the White Temple will he
crowded Wednesday night when he deliv
ers his lecture.
PRESIDENT AN HONEST MAN
Thinks H Will Be Better Viulcr
Btood In United States Senate.
PORTLAND. Jan. 7. (To the Editor.)
On read In Mr. Wellman's comment on Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan in last Sunday's
Oregon lan. I recall that some time ajeo I
read somewhere a report that the recently
recalled Japanese Minister, upon being
atked tor an opinion on President Roose
velt, replied: "How can I, when you Amer
icans do not understand htm?"
If the Japanese Minister actually spoke
those words. It was most extraordinary
language, and means that neither Japan
nor tho United States can understand how
a man so high In life can be sincerely hon
est. Japan Is yet too 'small a power to
possess a man brave enough to come out
and show the world that he ts actually
honest. The United Btatos. on the other
hand. Is great enough to prove all her
brave men honest if they are so. and that
makes it all the more extraordinary that
any American should have any doubt about
the absolute honesty ot President Roosevelt.
When the President took the office made
vacant by his martyred predecessor, and
announced that he would carry out the
policy or the deceased, the whole country
lauded him, and the universal opinion was'
that his Intentions were unquestionably hon
est. People had heard enough of him to
Helleve he would do fully as well as Mr.
McKlnlsy had done. But when Mr. Roose
velt began to execute the policy which the
peace-loving Mr. McK inlay had not yet
carried out. there was Instant disappro
val by those restrained by his policy.
When he said that there was no harm in
having rich men, so long as they conducted
their business with Just consideration for
their neighbors and their helo, then the
rich sal ha was a great and good man.
But when he began to force the negligent
ones among them to live up to just meth
ods, they at once rescinded their approval.
It ha been the samo In every case where
the President has found it necessary to
restrain extreme methods.
The church people of the country united
In their praise for the Vnan who waa brave
enough to exact Justice alike from the
high and the low. JBut when they found
POOLROOMS IS
OSEON SUNDAYS
that his honesty carried him to such an
extent that he removed what he believed
to be hypocrisy from the face of a coin,
even they began to acknowledge that they
did not understand Mm. If the Christians
of our country cannot understand Mr
Roosevelt, how can the Japanese be ex
pected to understand him?
Some time apo I read a report that cer
tain Russians in far away Siberia worship
President Roosevelt as a saint. Why do
people at such a distance have that opin
ion? I , might ascribe It to the fact that
they are a simple people. It is more
probably because they have not. like our
people, been reared to the custom of having
everything promised and very little done.
Perhaps there are those of our own peo
ple who, if they remember that it was
something akin to Providence that made
Mr. Roosevelt United States President, in
spite of all our great men did to keep him
with the saints. Be that as it may. I be-
lievo that Mr. Roosevelt is satisfied with
the greater title of being an honest man.
At the present time, after Mr. Roosevelt
has refused to be a candidate for a third
term, many have still some doubt of hla
sincerity. Mr. Wellman warns the people
against underrating the candidacy of Mr.
Bryan. . In the same breath he ignores Mr.
Roosevelt's superior knowledge of his posi
tion before the people, in the conduct of
their welfare. It is therefore evident that
Mr. Wellman is also among those who do
not understand the President. Mr. Well
man says that Mr. Roosevelt should be the
only logical opposing candidate with Mr.
Bryan. There are many who feel the same
way about It, though perhaps for deeper
reasons, if his candidacy shoujd be success
ful, and so keep him out of the Senate.
Mr. Roosevelt has demonstrated that a
President can be a strictly honest man. He
has shown that the American people can
sweep away a fetid custom as quickly as
they can prepare for war. His next move
will probably be to show that the great
men can no more keep him out of the
United States Senate than they could toeep
him from becoming President. When he
gets thers. he will doubtless drive out the
"skeleton" that has delayed his work
after which It may be that the American
people will understand him.

MORE PAY FOR ENGINEMEN
Superintendent Buckley Arranging
' Details of Advance in Wages.
General Superintendent M. J. Buck
ley, of the Harriman lines in this ter
ritory, returned from San Francisco
yesterday, where he has been con
ferring with tne management of the
Southern Pacific lines on the Coast in
regard to the Increase of wages paid
.englnemen. An advance was decided
upon last year at a general meeting
of officials representing all railroads
west of Chicago, the new rates to be
effective on all these lines. The work
ing out of the details has, ' however,
taken more time than was antiqipated
and certain points still remain to be
settled.
"I shall have to return to San Fran
cisco to complete the arrangement of
details in the new wage scale," said
Mr. Buckley last night "The commit
tees from the engineers and firemen
were a little late in arriving and the
officials of the Southern Pacifip .lines
had nut finished their annual inspec
tion trips, a task that they have still
under way. 1 will leave Portland Sat
urday night for San Francisco and we
hope to get matters adjusted -at this
meeting."
Make Repairs on Grade.
The Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company has put its steam shovel to
work a short distance above the Inman
Poulsen mill, digging out gravel that is
being used in repairing the damage to the
fill north of the Oaks, which was partly
washed away by the high water of the
past month. Small parts of the grade
had sloughed off because of the heavy
rains and the river washing against It.
As. soon as this work ts completed, the
shovel will be used in Ailing the bridge
across the gulch at the Inman-Poulsen
mill.
Rate ou Apples Continued.
Reduced rates on cull apples from a
rlous parts of the state to Portland, put
Into effect some time ago, over the Har
riman lines, will be continued to induce a
further movement of second-class fruit
to Portland vinegar, elder, apple sauce
and apple butter factories. The rate was
to have expired December 31, but an ex
tension has been granted until January
31. The rate from Union and La Grande
to Portland on cull apples is 25 cents and
from Medford and Southern Oregon sta
tions la 20 cents.
O'Brien on Inspection Tour.
General Manager, O'Brien, of the Harri
man lines in the Pacific Northwest, left
yesterday in his private car for a trip of
inspection over the Washington division
of the O. R, & N. He will be away from
the city nearly all the present week.
THE LAW ANDJHE COURTS
What Is a Sufe Rulefor Reversal by
a Supreme Court?
OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 13. (To the
Bditor.) I bejr to express my admiration for
The Oregonian'e editorials and cartoons on the
courts, especially those of January 11.
But are you Joins Justice to the Judges of
our Supreme .'ourt? "Whatever the case may
be In California or the Supreme Court of the
United state no one hints that any Judge or
the Supreme Court of Oregon is under any
special obli ration to the rich or poor, to po
litical baete or to great corporations. If their
decisions teennicany preserve tne letter ot tne
law and kill Us spirit, are not the lawmakers
more to blame than the Judges?
There was a time in American history when
& man accused of crime was about as good
as convicted, because in practice the victim
had to prove hie innocence. In the reaction
from the conditions that made Doaslble tho Ju
diclal murders for witchcraft and other trilling
and imaetnarv crimes. It became a conclusive
presumption of law that any mistake made
oy a mat conn agwinsi me rigum oi um piio
oner was such an injustice as would at least
require a new trial. It was not necessary to
show that the prisoner was really injured by
the mistake, but only that the mistake had
been made. There was so little fear that the
court could do injustice to the prosecution
that in many of the States the Government
had no right of appeal until quite recently.
Lawyers generally agree on the principle that
the Judgment of the trial court ought not to
be reversed unless the record shows clearly
that if the mistakes had not been, made the
verdict would probably have oeen anrcreni.
If that was the law governing the Court, no
Judge would evr think he was obliged to
render the "strap decisions." Very few law
yers uphold the present rule, but it seems to
be generally agreed in the profession that It
is tho province of the Legislature, and not of
the courts, to make this change in the law.
. W. S. U'REN.
Since when was It the province of the
Legislature to do anything? Certainly,
not since leprisl&Uon was placed directly
in the hands of the people. The Legis
lature is now a superfluity. The people
presently, doubtless, will get what they
want without even taking a vote on It.
Gallows Reduce Russian Population
' ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 13. A court
martial has sentenced five persons . to
death and two to the mines for the rob
bery, during last April, of the estate be
longing to the Alexander Xevsky Monas
tery. The robbers expected a big haul,
but secured only a lot of rubbish worth
a couple of hundred roubles.
The Governor-General of Kieff has con
firmed six death sentences for theft, and
at Warsaw two thieves were hanged in
the citadel yesterday. At Odessa, Vilna
and Moscow two death sentences each
were confirmed, and at Riga and
Tchernagoff, one each, all for theft.

doubtful if Portland ever had a more stir
ring drama. During one of United States
Senator la ITollette'a (of Wisconsin) visits
to New York, he attended the performance
of the play, after which he said: "'The
Man of the Hour is indeed a great play
ably acted. The action of the piece de
velops along the lines i have been following
In my political career for many years. It
shows up 'graft In public affairs and il
lustrates the great pressure bspught to bear
upon a public official who seeks to fulfill
his obligations to the people. Such a play
should have tremendous Influence, for the
stage Is as powerful In Its influence as the
press or the pulpit."

HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
A. Ij. Gage, Wanted In East, Arrest
ed In Portland.
Through the efforts of tho Pinkerton
Detective Agency, the police yesterday
afternoon arrested A. L. Gage, who has
been wanted In Pennsylvania since last
November, for embezzlement. Gage was
pointed out to Detectives Hellyer and
Maloney by Otto H. Kulper. superintend
ent of the detective agency in this city.
He was taken to the City Jail and locked
up, being unable to furnish bail.
Gage has been In this city for the past
two months, living under an assumed
name. He obtained a position as time
keeper with the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company and was at work In
Its offices when the police made the ar
rest. The complainant against Gage Is the
Davis & Thomas Company; of Catasaqua,
Pa., which charges him with being $300
short in his accounts- Gage had been
employed as bookkeeper for this firm for
a long time and was considered a valua
ble and trusted employe. When the dis
crepancy in his accounts was made
known Gage suddenly disappeared. He
fled to the Pacific Coast and finally lo
cated In Portland.
NEED NOT WAIT-ON BOARD
Council Has Power to Enact Im
provement Ordinance.
Much time will be saved In Initiating
public Improvements by an opinion fur
nished Auditor Barbur yesterday by City
Attorney Kavanaugh. According to this
opinion, the Council has authority to pro
ceed with improvement ordinances before
the same have been accepted by the Ex
ecutive Board. This reverses the ruling
of the former City Attorney, I. .A. Mo
Nary. "Heretofore," said Mr. Barbur yester-
Many persons surfer with

One or two days trial will

reason. The best argument,'
however, is the actual expe
