Opposition to the proposed location of the high bridge across the Willamette River, which is at or near Hancock street, yesterday took form at University Park.

"Located where it Is proposed," tie said, "it will not benefit the Peninsula, where there will be a great population In the near future. Be sides It is too close to the railroad bridge. The peuple generally on the Peninsula, so far as I have talked with them, ex press this opinion. They are not op posed to the erection of this-bridge, but are opposed to the place selected for It."

West Park and Wash. THIEF GETS CURIOS Valise With Valuable Contents Stolen in Hotel. LOSS MORE "THAN $500 John McPherson, Recently Dis charged From United States Xavy, Loses Jewelry, Etc. Bought During a Long Cruise. The mysterious disappearance' from the office of the Merchants Hotel of a suit case filled with valuable papers that can not-be replaced and rare curios, gathered from all parts of the world, has caused the police to institute an Investigation Into what Is regarded as the most serious hotel theft in Portland in many months. The suitcase was the property of a guest of the hotel, John McPherson, formerly of the United States Navy, and the owner says that while no estimate can be placed on the value of some of the articles, ow ing to their associations, the intrinsic value of the contents of the case was over JS00 and that he will willingly pay a handsome reward for Its return. Mc Pherson has been In the city three days having come here from San Francisco where he received his discharge from the Navy. He went to the Merchants Hotel and having this suit case among his be longings and not caring to risk it in his room, placed It In care of the office re ceiving in return one of the regular hotel baggage checks, No. 43. McPherson recently returned from a cruise almost around the world In the cruiser Galveston and during his service on this vessel Invested a coiftiderable por tion of his pay In Oriental jewelry and curios. All of these he kept separate from the rest of his effects and packed them in a suitcase so that he could al ways have them at hand during his trip to Boston, Mass., where he resides. He visited Portland for a few days with a desire to see this portion of the Pacific Northwest before his return East and was preparing to leave for Boston when the discovery of his loss was made. He is now remaining in the city in the hope of recovering his property. The suitcase remained in the care of the hotel office during the three days he was taking in the town but yesterday when he presented his check for his baggage it could not be found. The hotel proprietors were unable to throw any light on the disappearance of the case offering the suggestion that perhaps some other guest may have taken it In mistake for his own, but this. Mc Pherson says seems very Improbable as his name was plainly stamped on one end of it and the brass tag with which it was checked was almost new and there would be very little probability of mistaking the number. Among the papers were Mcpherson's discharge papers showing honorable serv ice In both the Army and the Navy, as well as the discharge papers of his father who was a soldier in the Civil War, and who is now dead. McPherson last night gave the police a list of the articles which the case contained and said that If they were unable to trace the theft he would sue the hotel people inasmuch as the case was properly checked. While the papers would be of little value to anyone else, the jewelry and curios un doubtedly would, says McPherson. as they might easily be disposed of to dealers at a high figure. The 'police have as signed detectives to make an investigation and McPherson will put off his return trip to Boston until the case and its contents have been found or the hotel proprietors have made a settlement. FRED FRITZ FINED $50 Police Court Finally Passes Sentence on Variety Manager, It has taken the city authorities three months to stop up all the en trances devised by Fred Fritz between his saloon on Burnslde street and his variety show adjoining.

ASSAIL IMMIGRATION LAW LAWVER RESISTS DEPORTATION OF HIS CLIENT. Latter Is French Woman Whose Moral Character Renders Her an Undesirable Citizen. By attacking tho sufficiency of the Immigration laws. States Attorney James F. Gleaaon will seek to prevent the deportation of Louise Reaux. alias Flora Duran, a French woman, whom the immigration authorities located In a house of ill-fame in this city and al leges to be unlawfully in this country. CJn Gleason's petition for a writ of habeas corpus the woman .was released yesterday on order of Judge "Wolverton on' depositing $500 cash bond. Leave was also granted to file an amended pe tition, which will probably be argued today. The lawyer for the woman contends that she cannot be reached by the im migration laws of the country for the reason that no saving clause was in corporated in the act repealing the law of March 3, 1903, nor in the law of February 20, 1907, saving and re serving to the United States the right to deport aliens entering this country in violation of any of the provisions of the act of March 3, 1903. It is the contention of Mr. Gleason that since his client came to the United States January 14, 1906, she cannot be de ported under the law of 1903, and since she was a resident of this country when the act of February, 1907, went into effect, July 1, last, she is exempt from the provisions of that law. John H. Barbour, local Inspector of Immigration, who caused the arrest of the woman, has reported the facts in the case to United States Attorney Bristol, who will represent the Gov ernment when the case comes up In court. Mr. Barbour says the Govern ment experts to accomplish the depor tation of the undesirable alien under a section of the act of February, 1907, which provides that any alien female who is found in a house of iil-fame within three years following her en trance to the United States shall bo deemed to have landed in this country unlawfully and be subject to deporta- f Trust Company of I S.E.

Under the provisions of the same law, that of 1907, . Mr. Barbour yesterday caused the ar rest of a Japanese woman, Natsu Takaya, who arrived in the United States July 26, 1907, and came direct to Portland, where she entered a house, of ill-fame. It was over this woman that two Japanese recently engaged in a pistol duel in the North End. Fol lowing this escapade, the woman went to Spokane., She was placed under arrest yesterday at the Union Depot as she alighted from a Spokane train. PERSONALMENTI(XN.
