THE MOKMXO OREG0XIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1908. LORD EXPLAINS . SEATTLE AFFAIR Portland Lawyer Says He Was Made, a Victim of Mis placed Confidence. COMEDY ELEMENT IN CASE Attorney Goes, to Rescue Chinese Slave Maiden and Catches an Aged Tartar Will Sue the Chief ot Police. Charles F. Ixrd, the Portland lawyer, whose efforts to obtain custody of a Chinese woman in Seattle on behalf of a Chinese client in this city, caused his detention in the Seattle city jail for an hour Wednesday, returned to Portland last night and gave his version of the incident. The first point that Mr. Lord empha sized was that he was not attempting to steal the Chinese woman, as told In dis patches at the time of his arrest. He was tryinK to take her away from an irresponsible husband to bring her to an uncle in Portland, he says. The woman slarted away with him of her own free will, but presently chanfted her mind about leaving the PURCt Sound metropo lis. Then the lawyer's troubles began and kept up right merrily thereafter. The talo is far more comical than tragic. The facts of the case as presented last night by Mr. Lord are: Some days ago a Portland Chinaman by the name of Ah Gum. or something of the sort, laid be fore Mr. Lord a weird story of a beauti ful Chinese woman in vile bondage. The heathen said he was the girl's uncle or cousin and that he wished to rescue her from her Seattle master. As the attor ney had other business on the Sound, he took the job of rescuing the 'fair slave. The mission appealed vastly to his sense of romance and gallantry. Armed with a long and undecipherable letter from the' Portland relative to the Seattle' maid, Mr. Lord set out on his errand. The address where the woman was In 'bondage was presented to him and on calling there he found It was a Christian mission instead of a dive. He presented his credentials to the patroness, explained the nature of his errand and was Introduced to the fair maiden. Only, Instead of a fair maiden as previously acscribed, he found it difficult to dis tinguish her from one of the heroines of Kipling's Jungle hook. Woman Gives Consent. However, her personal appearance had nothing to do with his mission. mo handed her the letter from her Portland relative, and after perusing it she con tented to come to Portland. She admit tor her husband had not been- kind to her. In fact, that was why she had gone ',o the mission. Delighted, with easy success in his ven ture Jlr. Ixrd went In search of a car riage. When he returned with one the OrlentHl maid refused to ride in the thing, hut after much persuasion he got her aboard a streetcar. He carried her ef fects, done up in a big silk cloth, and Fat opposite ier. . It was just an hour until traintime. Mr. Lord has a faint suspicion now that the woman's easy acquiescence in leaving the mission was superinduced by a desire to get back to her olden haunts, leastwise it would, appear that way for the car had not got more than half way across the first Seattle mountain, before the dame said she was tired of riding. She insisted on getting off the car. Since be could not detain her by. force the hap less attorney got off with her and they started off afoot for the depot. Though the woman's feet were under sized and. she stumbled along at a gait of less than two miles an hour, there was time to have made the train had Flie not discovered a new obstacle. She said she feared to go direct to the depot as the course would take them past a Chinese section where her life would not be safe. Then began a long detour, the attorney struggling along under the weight of the bundle of Oriental apparel. brazen images and the like. Slakes a Fatal Move. They missed the train by more than half an hour and the Chinese woman then Bald it would be a good Idea to go to the police station and wait there for the train that would leave in another three mid a half hours. They went to the station. Having discovered the woman's absence from the mission, her husband, or al leged husband, as Mr. Lord describes the fellow, was engaged in a frantic effort to find the missing woman. By that peculiar Influence which rich Chinamen sometimes have with police in other cities than Se attle, the Oriental had the police aroused and the Portland lawyer and his charge were Intercepted, even before they reached the station. The woman was allowed to go with her so-called husband. Mr. Lord then experienced tlfe really sad part of the adventure. For when he set about explaining the affair the police did not listen. They haled him to the station, searched bis pockets, took away a Chinese mar riage license and. other papers con nected with the case and locked him in a dingy and dirty cell. "I saw my first real bug in that cell," Mr. Lord said last night. "It came out on the wall of the cell and was fol lowed at once by a procession of fel low bugs. I had to stand in the mid dle of the cell for fear of an invasion from this hostile force." Still Retain Papers. Eventually the affair became ad justed and Mr. Lord was released. But his papers, part of them at least, were retained on the claim that they be longed to the Chinese woman. The Chinese woman did not return to the mission. Mr. Lord remained in town long enough to learn that she had been secreted and then returned to Portland. Mr. Lord will be very busy during the next few days drafting a damage suit against Chief Wappenstein, of the Seattle Police Department. He says he intends to fight the case to a finish, as he was arrested and thrown into Jail without warrant or charge being pre sented. He also charges the Seattle department with assisting the Chluese who represented himself as the woman's husband, to get her back into possession, regardless of the fact that there was evidence to show she was nothing more than the fellow's slave, kept subject to lease. LAST BATTLE WITH FIRE Brave Old Krugcr Dies, Leading His Men, as I'sual. NEW YORK, Feb. l4.Deputy Chief Charles W. Kruger, known for many years as "the grand old man" of the fire department, lost his life today while leading his men in a desperate fight against flames in Canal street. While working his way cautiously through a cellar filled with smoke and gases, Kruger plunged through a trap door into a sub-basement filled with water. He was dead when taken out, but in the few minutes that elapsed between the time he fell and his body was drawn out more than a score of men had risked their own lives in an effort to save that of their leader. Kruger was 57 years old, and had been a member of the department for 86 years. Several years ago Kruger was Acting Chief while Chief Croker was under suspension. The fire in which the Deputy Chief lost his life started at 217 Canal street, and before it could be subdued it swept that building from basement to roof, spread to two buildings adjoining, routed the tenants from several tenement-houses in Baxter street and threatened the Church of the Most Precious Blood. It was after the flames in the upper pari of the building had been got under control that Kruger had taken his men to the basement to cut a hole in the wall to 217, where the fire was thickest. Croker consented, and a moment later, with a dozen men. behind him, Kruger plunged into the cellar. The place was filled with emoke and the deadly fumes of illumi nating gas, which flowed from broken or melted pipes, but the men pressed cautiously forward in the darkness. Just in the middle of the cellar Kruger stepped on a trap and plunged into six feet of water in the sub-basement. Then began a desperate fight in the gas-tilled cellar to save the Chief. He could do little to help himself, how ever, and when Battalion Chief Galvin plunged into the dark hole and raised Kruger's body above the surface he was unconscious. , It required the combined efforts of 20 firemen, weakened as they were by breathing smoke and ' gas, to draw Galvin, who still clung to Kruger's body, from the pit. , The property loss as a result of the fire is placed at ,50,000. Blfc Lithographing Plant Burns. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 14. Fire to day destroyed the building and plant of the Courier Lithographing Com pany on Main street, and spreading to.

Fire last night did $20,000 damage to the retail store and office building of Heath & Milli gan, paint manufacturers, on Randolph street. This firm last Saturday went into a receiver's bands, a fire which did $800 000 damage a year ago to its factory having started its troubles.

SEATTLE TO PUT IN A BID Attempt to Be Made to Get Packing Plant From Portland.' SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 14. (Special.) Portland may have to organize for a fight if she wishes to become the location of the big packing plant to be estab lished in the Northwest for the purpose of taking care of the Coast, Alaska and island business. Aroused to activity by the presence in the city of L. F. Swift, N. B. Higbee and John Donovan, the busi ness men and the commercial bodies of Seattle are organizing to make a potent bid for the plant. It is pointed out that the Portland lo cation Is not decided upon, and that the land owned by the Swifts in that locality has not been purchased recently, but was bought, some time ago, .with a view to possible future needs. The Swift party is at present at Belilngham and other Sound locations, but it has inspected several lo cations near Seattle, and it is the belief that if the right concessions are made Seattle stands a chance of winning from Portland. The Swift party is expected back here within a few days, cn route to Chicago, and Seattle's advantages will be advanced at that time. It is known that the de cision with regard to the location of the proposed plant will not be made until af ter the party reaches Chicago, and the. Seattle men feel that a good deal can be accomplished by concerted action that will greatly fortify Seattle's endeavors.

Rushton Knocked Out by Three ! Hard Blows. MULTNOMAH NOT IN FORM Ott Loses to Adams West Defeated by Johnstone Portland's Only Winner Is Ed Johnson, Who Gets Decision Over Tilley. SPOKANE. Wash., Feb. 14. (Spe cial.) If the world's record for the quickest knockout ever scored in a boxing contest cannot be claimed by Louis Orsle. of the Spokane Athletic Club, it is dimply because Timer Jack For.ter used an ordinary watch in stead of a split second stop watch, which would have recorded it exactly. It took the crack Spokane boxer three triphammer swings to drop his opponent, Ed Rushton, of the Mult nomah' Club of Portland, to the floor like a log, completely out. The previ ous record for the quickest knockout was four seconds, held by Del Haw kins against Martin Flaherty, at Car son City, Nev. Rushton had expected to shake hands, but Orsie omitted this formality and tore in. Spokane Gets Three Out of Four. Spokane athletes captured three out of the four interclub contests from the Multnomah Club of Portland be fore the biggest house that ever packed the S. A. A. C. arena. John Adams won over Otto Ott, of Mult nomah, one decision on aggressiveness and one clean fall in two bouts in the 133-pound wrestling class. Eddie Johnstone, of the S. A. A. C. was given the decision over Jean West, of Mult nomah, at the end of three rounds' boxing in the 135-pound class. Louis Orsie won with a knockout in the first round over Ed Rushton, of Multnomah. Ed Johnson, Multnomah's winner, was 21 pounds hoavier than Homer Tilley, the only man at the S. A. A. C. able to make anything like 175 pounds, the weight named by Multnomah. He was given two decisions over Tilley on ag gressiveness, but failed to throw the Spokane wrestler. AVest Gets Trophy by Forfeit. Failure of Eddie Johnstone, of Spo kane, to make the required weight and the forfeiture of the trophy In this class to Jean West, of Multnomah, marred the performance. Johnstone was six pounds overweight in his fighting , togs, about four pounds stripped when weighed just prior to entering the ring. West consented to appear against Johnstone so as not to disappoint the Spokane patrons, but takes home the trophy, a gold watch. The bout was the best of the evening. Johnstone got the decision.

Phones, Main 671, A 2167. , Hank and Kile of Oregon Repub licans Appear Hostile to Prin ciple Advocated In His Ke cenl Circular Ijetter. Senator Bourne's circular letter to voters and candidates for office in Ore gon, urging them to stand by State ment No. 1, will not carry much weight if the predictions of some of the wise politicians are to be fulfilled. They argue that the Senator has been away from the state so long that lie is' not in touch with the real situation, and for this reason his letter will, in a measure, be ignored by the rank and file of the party, and also by the party leaders. In Multnomah County not half a dozen of the avowed candidates for the Senate and House will pledge themselves in favor of Statement No. 1. In the anti-statement movement, Multnomah County has taken the lead. Marion County was next In line and according to reports from various parts of the state,' opposition to the state ment is general. Bourne's letter may result in keeping some of his staunch followers in line, but the general Im pression is that it will have little ef fect. In Multnomah County about 11 candi dates are mentioned for seats in the Senate and 15 for the House. Those whose names have been mentioned for the Senate are: C. W. Hodson, John B. Coffey, Sig Sichel. J. C. Bayer, C. W. Nottingham, P. E. Black, John Dris coll, Elmer Colwell, John Gill, J. E. Magers, M. J. McMahon and Dr. Em met Drake. Of this list, perhaps no more? than three are In favor of sub scribing to Statement No. 1." Dr. Drake has not made up hU mind. If he finds that to be an anti-Statement No. 1 man is the thing, he will fall In line. Mr. Gill is also "up In the air," so to speak. The majority of the candidates mentioned have openly de clared their opposition, to U"Ren's pet measure. So far as is known not more than two of the talked-of candidates for the House favor the statement. The can didates talked of are: Frank Richard son, Frank A. Ball in, C. N. McArthur, D. B. Mackie, J. W. Beveridge, M. D. Beutgen, L. E. Crouch, F. Harlow, of Troutdale;' C. B. Merrick. R. A. Ap person. Dr. George Ainslie, George Howell, George W. McMillan and A. M. Orton. Of the candidates mentioned, only one. A. M. Orton, has declared himself in favor of Statement No. 1. Outside of the county, W. K. New ell, of Dllley, has renounced the state ment, and Frank Davey, ex-Speaker, who is now at Burns, is also opposed to it. few months ago she learned that her second marriage was illegal and then she sued to have both marriages annulled.
