Daylight vat let through yesterday in the big tun nel for the Brooklyn sewer system be tween Bust Tenth street and the Willam ette River, on Taggert street. Thla tunnel Is 1S0O feet long, the longest for sewer ' purposes In the city and the largest. Its construction was started nearly a year ago, and has been attended by consider able difficulty, owing to the nature of the material that had to be excavated. Every foot had to be limbered with heavy tim bers, and even this did not prevent some bad caves, especially near the east end when the weight of the earth crushed the timber and completely blocked the tunnel In that direction. Work has been potng forward from three points, at both ends and at Bast Seventh street where a shaft was sunk to tho tunnel level and drifting began. Much of the stone and brick work in the tunnel remains to be done, but It will probably go forward without much Interruption. Makinq Srntikent for Union. Rev. H. C.

"Walter Thomas Mills delivered an address last night, in Alisky Hall, on "Direct Legisla tion," under the auspices of the Initia tive and Referendum League. Much of the address was devoted to a review of political philosophy. Mr. Mills expressed the opinion that the idea that political institutions are unchangeable is passing. Permanent organisations In the commu nity be said had been outgrown. Direct legislation was not the creation of a situa tion where all the questions that may arise are to be settled never to rise again: but it Is to create a method of organi zation, a simplification of political pro cesses by which any question may be dealt with on its merits.

BOICOTT NOT INTENDED LOCAL IXSCRAXCE AGENTS EX PLAIN ORGAXIZATIOX. t FUNERAL OF LEE DAI HOY Chinese Friends Honor Wealthy Vic tim of Highbinders. Chanting Oriental priests, noisy torn toms and great heaps of roasted meats were features of the funeral services yesterday afternoon over the remains of Lee Dal Hoy. a wealthy Chinaman who was killed by highbinders last Saturday night. The services began at Lee's home at Fourth and Pine streets and were concluded at the Lone Fir Cemetery. The body was not interred, however, be ing returned after the ceremonies to the Flnley undertaking establishment for Shipment to China. The funeral was an impressive affair from the Chinese standpoint. Every available carriage in town was secured and there was a line half a mile long of hired mourners. A special squad of po licemen was assigned to the funeral to prevent possible conflicts with highbind ers, but no trouble was encountered. Is Independent Association Formed to Benefit Both Members and Policyholders Xot m Trust. Insurance agents of Portland are considerably agitated over the publica tion of a circular letter written and sent out by William B. Honeyman. Jr., secretary of the recently organised Portland branch of the Insurance Agents' Association of the United States. In tiie circular Mr..Honeyman says: I desire to call your attention to the fact that the entry list of the new Local Board of Fire -Insurance Agents will close at the end of the week and that the constitution, by-laws and list of members will be sent to the printers. It is the desire of the new association to have all the local agents Jn this city join the local board, just formed. The associa tion' object Is to try and avoid special favors that heretofore nave been the assured and to insist on the prompt payment or premiums, doing away with the WMiay creait rule. Article 37 of the bv-lawa reads m fnl. lows: "Arter April 1, 1808, no member of this association shall be permitted to accept business from any resident nonmember." In looking over the list of agents there are but a in mis city wno have not Joined the as sociation, and. If vou control anv lro nn- I think you woulld have some difficulty In placing It. Kindly advise me. not later than Wednes day, your intentions as to joining the new Chester Deering. Dresident of the local agents' association, said last night that the purposes of the organi zation, as an independent association are to equalize rates, advocate better fire-fighting facilities, act for the mu tual benefit of its members and to stand together for the eood of all con cerned. He said there was no thought of threatening those who choose to stay out of the organization, but that it was the intention to have all in the organization feel that they had a com mon Interest in the matters which will De advocated from time to time. Among other things to be taken up is an effort to reduce rates on the East Side, especially in the new sec tions navmg water and fire protection. Mr. Deering emphasized the assertion that the new association has absolute ly no connection with the San Fran cisco rating committee of the Coast. Jt is. he said, an independent oreranl zatlon formed of local fire insurance agents, which may later on become a member of the National organization. He said that about 90 per cent of the local agents had either sipned the by laws of the new organization or had signified their intention to do so. He added that he had not seen the circu lar letter referred to and that if it con tained any threats or proposed a boy cott he would certainly not approve Its circulation. W. J. Clemens, one of the trustees of the association, was most emphatic in denouncing the circular, saying it contains much that is unwarranted arid unauthorized. He said last night that the secretary had given an en tirely wrong impression of the pur poses of the organization, as the in tention of the association is simply to work for the mutual benefit of he members and of the policy-holders. SEAT SALE TOMORROW The Krelslcr-Bauer- Scats on Sale Saturday Morning at the Heilig Box Office. By far the finest musical event of the season so far will be the Joint recital to be given Tuesday evening-. March 17. at the Heilig, in which Bauer, the fine pianist, and Kreisler, eminent among the greatest violinists, will play. The concert is under the direc tion of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman, and is the fourth of their subscription series. Kreisler Is one of the foremost of the fiddlers and his personality is very interesting. He is a bus. auiet. stately chap, serious and reserved until he begins to play, and then his face lights up and his eyes kindle. His whole form becomes tense with his feeling and his playing- Henderson of N. x. calls it "stupendous." Bauer, a prime favorite here, is 'already one of the foremost pianists and has gained his high place by sanity, a studkrus attention to the best in his art and a genius not at all sensational, but all the greater for that. The concert is on Tuesday next at the Heilig, and the seat sale opens tomorrow morning; at 10. REGISTRATION FALLS OFF Income-Bearing Properties.

Spectacles $1.00 at Metzger'a Total for Bay Only S77 19,467 Names Now on Books. Only 377 voters registered for the pri mary election at County Clerk Fields office yesterday. This total is consider ably smaller than the average for the rest of the week. Of the voters regis tered 308 were Republicans, 54 Democrats and 16 of miscellaneous parties. The total registration for the year is now 19.467. Of these 15.304 are Republicans, 3299 Democrats and 964 are miscellaneous. A large number of Democrats are reg istering as Republicans this year. Dep uty Clerk Schneider estimates that be tween 1500 and 2000 have deserted the Democratic ranks. He attributes this to their belief that under false colors they can more easily put Statement No. 1 men into the Legislature. County Clerk Fields lias decided to hold a meeting for judges and clerks of elec tion between April 5 and 10. The date will be more definitely fixed later. At that time they will be given instructions regarding the election laws. WHEREJTO DINE. Ail the delicacies of the season at ths Portland Restaurants fine private apart ments for ladies.
