Detective Smith and Sergeant Golti raided a Chinese gambling Joint last night after 11 o'clock, at 131 Second street, and captured 24 Celestial prisoners and enough evidence to secure a conviction in the Municipal Court. The room In which the players were found was not more than lOxU feet In dlrrenslons and In this crowded space with stifling atmosphere the two Uosrn fantan bends were caught unawares while their "lookout" dole a at te door. It was a complete surprise for the gamesters as they had not even time to hide the tSf that lay upon the table. It was the first time in many months that a raid had been effected In China town wherein the police gained an en trance without having to batter down barred doora. Last night they caught tlielr victims completely off their guard. The detectives heard hut night that a game was running In this resort. They were informed, however, that it would not be In full blast until later than the customary hours of from 7 to P. M. The detectives waited until they thought they had cornered a good-slsed crowd and then made a break for the entrance. This rush on the part of the police upset all the ramblers' traditions, for it had never been known for the police) to show any activity between the hours of 9 o'clock and midnight. The lookout, who doubtless thought that all of the plain clothes men were oft duty, dosed In false security. The prisoners were all taken to the station, but were released after the propraetor bad deposited HAO In cash tor their ball. First Street-Walker Caught. The police arrested one street-walker last night. She gave the name of Lottie Ambler, said she now had no borne, and Jiad all bar earthly possessions, ti la i j - Kj.n Vie.- nersniL' She Siu gum, . v. - ... - was arrested by Detectives Hyde and Craddock while parading the sidewalk in the vicinity of Fifth and Stark streets. Hers was the only case of the kind the Mayor's brigade detected during the night- She was locked up in the City Jail and will be brought before the Muni cipal Court today to receive her punish ment.

LESSONS in municipal uprightness, condemnation of political trickery and portrayals of slippery methods through which ward bosses" obtain and hold their power over officeholders were pre sented for the second time this year to Portland audiences at the Heillg last night In "The Man of the Hour." With ore or two exceptions the rompany bought back by Brady tc. Grism;r is the same as the one that presented the play last January, when it scored such a decided success. If anything the com pany has improved in "team work," as the sporting writers would say. and more carefully sustained Interest in a theatri cal production, chuck full of strong sit uations and brightened with unexpected comical flashes. It were hard to imagine. The story of a clean young man sud denly put in a political position without other experience than the making of a few speeches; how he was sorely tempted by those who put htm in power men who do not scruple to play on the most sacred emotions of humanity and how he met these temptations furnish material for -a four-act play that has seldom been equaled, if at all. in appealing to the' better instincts of an audience. Two love' stortes are woven in that of the "man of the hour" and the niece of a broker, and a budding young couple who scarcely know what's the matter with themxrand the little romances have the great merit of being quite plausible. Including the inevitable misunderstand ings lovers always encounter. Miss Ruby Bridges, who will be remembered as making a decided hit last January in the part, plays the broker's niece with intelligence and is attractive in several new. up-to-date gowns that called forth audible "Ohs!" and "Aha:" from the feminine portion of the audience, and from the male contingent the highest praise they have in their vocabulary1 "Gee. that's a stunning frock." One gown in particular was described by an authority as "Dlrectolre. modified; pea cock blue liberty satin, tassel trimming and a swagger feather-crowned hat." In the title role William Lamp suc ceeds Lionel Adams. Baker theater pa trons will remember Mr. Lamp as a member of that company about four years ago in Juveniles. He has developed Into one of the best leads seen for some time in road companies here. In the character of the newly elected mayor he is manly, and that tells the whole story. Horrlgan and Phelan are again cast to Louis Hendricks and Felix Haney. and better character work they never did than last night, Horrigan's brutally frank work aa the unscrupulous boss and Phelan's smoother but more sympathetic opposition to the big boss, are counter parts of what we read of in K astern papers of how politics is done In that part of the country. M. J. McQuarrie in his denunciation of Walnwright rises to the occasion with great force and in that scene does about the strongest thing in the whole play. PIONEER FIREMAN IS DEAD G. Ii. Stewart, Master Mechanic, In Service IS Tears. George Law Stewart, master me chanic of the Portland Fire Depart ment and one of the city's veteran fire fighters, died last night at 6 o'clock at t The Late Georae Law Stewart. his home. 520 East Washington street. Death resulted from a sudden attack of a complication of organic troubles, after an illness of a few days. Mr. Stewart was at work last Saturday and had experienced but a few days' Illness during 18 years of almost uninterrupt ed service. He was regarded by the heads of the department as one of Its most efficient employes. Mr. Stewart was 84 years of age and a native Oregonlan, having been born in Oregon City In 1854. For the past 4t years he has been a resident of Portland. He is well known to all the old-time machinists in the city. For years prior to entering the yirt Department he was an em ploye of the Willamette Iron Works and Installed the machinery In the river steamer Hasealo. He was for merly the engineer of company No. S of the volunteer fire department, con tinued In that position when It waa changed to a pay department and. with the establishment of civil service con trol, became master mechanic Mr. Stewart is survived by a widow and two sons.

He has not asked that she attend, say ing when urged to do so, that he was not willing to make of her a public exhibit in order to reap what benefit might accrue to him from the impres sion on the Jury. Opening Day's Proceedings. Completion of the Jury, conclusion of the opening statements, taking of testimony of two witnesses that was the unusual progress made in the case during yesterday. The Jury had been completed when adjournment for noon was taken. All are men past 35, all are men of family. Few such sub stantial Juries have been seen in the Circuit Court. In outlining to the Jury what will be offered In evidence, neither prose cution nor defense added anything to the details of the affair already known. There have been hints of unusual and unexpected developments. Prosecution and defense have intimated having trump cards in reserve. -Both said late yesterday that only the essentials had been put forth in the opening statements. The state's case showed up well In the description and unless it is controverted or broken may serve the purpose of conviction But it Is known that a vigorous assault is to be made upon some of the state's tes timony and that the veracity of certain police detectives will be questioned very closely. Not Cat's Scratches, Says Doctor. The two witnesses examined by the prosecution were City Physician Fred J. Ziegler and J. D. Robin6on, the watchman who discovered Wolffs dead body. Their testimony, while largely of a preliminary or introduc tory nature. Is nevertheless of Import ance. In fact Dr. Ziegler' s statements form no small part of the state's hope of conviction. For he told of examin ing Wolff's body and finding It hacked In 20 places: of noting evidences of a struggle; of examining Martin after the arrest and finding the prisoner's head, face and hande marked from the scars of recent wounds. Martin told him the marks on his face and hand were cat scratches. They were nothing of the sort, the witness said. Robinson's testimony was confined to telling of the finding of the body, its condition, the hour of discovery. Rob inson, on his rounds, found Wolff's shop locked at 6:40 and the lights out. At 8:40 the door was still locked. About 9 o'clock he found the . door open, indicating the murderer had waited to rob the place and skulk out at a favorable moment when the street was clear. Presentation of the opening state ments was taken up Immediately upon the beginning of the afternoon session at 1 o'clock. Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald outlined the state's case. Attorney Jeffrey spoke for Martin. Fitzgerald talked only !5 minutes. Jeffrey occupied only 15 minutes. Prosecution Outlines Case. "I believe the evidence in this case will show conclusively that this man Martin murdered Nathan Wolff." said Mr. Fitzgerald. "Early on the night of Mav 1 Wolff's body was found literally hacked to pieces. His shop, et 168 First street, looked like a butcher-room. There were evidences of a desperate struggle with the murderer. And blood on the floor and fixtures where the murderer was waiting around for a chance to slip out unseen shows that he was wounded. "We will show that on April 24 Martin went to a pawnshop at 1S9 Second street. He was trying to get money on some drawing Instruments and while he was there a peddler named Max Drey came In. He offered four shirts for sale and Martin spoke up and said maybe he would buy them. The deal was not effected there. Martin and Drey went to the Plaza block, where Martin bought three of the shirts. He left the fourth with Drey and It will be accounted for. Drey bought the four shirts from H Sichel, a business man, who had dis carded them. "On the day of the murder Martin went Into another pawnshop and pawned his revolver to raise money. After doing this he went to South Portland, where he borrowed a JA-caliber revolver from a woman friend. He had been to her place the day before and had been talking about revolvers with her. He told ber that her revolver was a good one. The lady not only loaned him the revolver but loaned him cartridges to load it with. That was at 3 o'clock on the day of the murder. Martin left the place. We cannot trace his movements after that time. That was the day Wolff waa butchered. Finding of Gory Shirt. "After a murder of that nature the en tire) publio is Interested In seeing the MARTIN TAKEN GREAT New Fall Suits Worth $1 A K Up to $40.00 at . ;.ipl7-J In the Second Lot we are showing $27.50 values good values, Q too, for that price marked for this Special Friday Sale for only V0' Large sizes a specialty with us, and are included in this sale. And these garments, although" quoted at this unusually low price, embody all the charming kinks and touches that go toward. making our Ladies' Suit De partment this season so classy and distinctive. First and Yamhill guilty party caught. A man who works at the gas works saw a bundle lying in an alley way in the North End. He kicked it open and found it was a shirt covered with blood. It was one of the shirts Martin had bought from Max Drey. . ... "After the body of Wolff was picked up the police had occasion to examine the premises ana in duihb collar which had been torn from the as sassin's neck. This showed that there had been a struggle. The collar fits Martin's shirt exactly. It fits the bloody shirt which was found In en alleyway and the bloodstains on the collar cor respond with those on the shirt. An ex amination of the shirt will show you that the buttonhole has been nearly torn out another evidence of the Btruggle. "This collar, as will be shown, is a peculiar one in make and style. It is a collar that is rarely worn. When Martin was arrested he was wearing one of the same brand, style and size. It had the same kind of marks on it. Furthermore he had some of those collars at his home. "In addition we will show you that the police took up the search for the mur derer and when the trail got too warm for him he left his home in Sellwood and registered at the Belvedere Hotel under the assumed name of B. H. Barrett. "On May 5, while the officers were searching for him. a local paper came out accusing Martin of the murder. He was in a saloon when he caught sight of the big headlines. He grabbed the paper out of the man's hands, glanced at It and walked out without saying a word. Xathan Wolff's Overcoat, "We will show that he went to a house on the East Side, where, while talking with the people there, he threw aside an overcoat. It is a hard matter to Identify clothing but we will try to show you that this coat belonged to Xathan Wolff in his lifetime. ... . 1 A .(.-!. rr himdf lin (in IPATO- lllMlilll vl p(.,ia " " . i i. t n, I U.Hln uvnt t n lnif lUai lie ...... ., " another place at Grand avenue and East Morrison streets, wnere ne remra room.

That was the way he ex plained the marks. "The evidence' of every witness will be of the utmost Importance and I must ask you to give your closest attention to every word that is said. I am sure we'll be able to weave a web about this man Martin from which he can never get out." Defense Attacks Indictment. Mr. Jeffrey then spoke. He attacked the indictment against Martin, picking flaws In it. He described the interior of the Wolff store and laid emphasis on the evidences of a struggle. "At least three men were engaged In that struggle and this defendant was not one of them," he said. "We believe Martin was taken for the purpose of furnishing a victim. Martin was in town at the time of the murder but he was not at the place of the murder when it was committed. He cannot be expected to account for every minute of his time for days before and after the date of the crime. But he can account for himself and all his movements on May 1. It Is impossible that he should explain all the petty circumstances that have been dug up to connect him with the killing but he will show to you that he had nothing to do with the affair. "The evidence will show that he grad uated from Fordham College, from the -ew York law school, from West Point and that he was an honored officer in the last war." The Jury was taken at this time to the scene of the murder. It was decided that all the lawyers in the case might go along. Two city detectives. Hellyer and Price, entered the pawnshop while the jury was inside and explained the ar rangement of the building. To this in trusion Attorneys Fouts. Jeffrey and Am brose took vigorous exception. They will ask to have the incident Included in the records of the case. Xt 1-37 P. M. the jury waa back in the FA Our Friday Sp It's just another case of shrewd buying the result of a constant and keen search for bargains. This time a manufacturer was glad to turn this lot of suits to us at a low cash price because the con cern ordering them failed before "delivery was made. A clever lot of suits just 300 fine Fall Suits in the lot. Every Design Positively New, Original, Exclusive Practically all the new style ideas" are embodied in this collection. Some plain man-tailored and others elaborately trimmed, in semi fitting models and the American modification of the sheath gown. Coats ranging from 24 to 26-inch lengths. The skirts are plaited, full-gored and flared. Materials are fancy broadcloths, cheviots, serges and fancy mixtures. Colors are all shades' of green, red, mulberry, brown, blue, gray, black and London smoke. Suits that are really worth $40.00, and are so priced in the leading stores. Think of buying them at only $14.95 at the first of the season! Streets courtroom and Dr. Ziegler was called to the stand. He said he found a bullet wound and some 20 gashes from an ax on the body. He said the ax wounds caused death. The ax was offered as an exhibit. . He described fully the marks found on Martin's face, head and hands after the suspected man's arrest. The wounds were clearly defined but not of a severe nature, he said. "Did Martin make any statment to you as to .how he came by these wounds? Mr. Fitzgerald asked. "Yes, he said an ax flew off Its handle and hit his head. The marks on his face were cat scratches, he said and a cut on his thumb was where a cat bit him, he told me." "Did you make a close examination of the cuts?" "Yes, sir." "Were they caused by a cat?" Martin's attorney objected to this ques tion but the court told Dr. Ziegler he might answer. "No, I don't think they were made by a cat," "Were they such as might be made by the finger nails of a human being?" Objection was again entered on behalf of Martin. This time the objection was sustained. "How old were the wounds?" was the next question. "I thought the scratches were about three or four days old. Martin told me that I 'was right about my estimate on their age except that he said the cut on his head was made after the cat scratches. It seemed to be. though, that the cut on the head was older than the other marks, at least that it was made at the same time." Finding of Body Described. Dr. Ziegler was briefly cross examlucd and Robinson was then called to the stand. In making his rounds as a watch man he went to the Wolff store three times on the night of the murder. The first two times the door was locicea xne third time it 'was open. He said he had become uneasy at noting the light was out after dark and telephoned to Wolffs home. Mrs. Wolff said her husband hadn't reached home and was very un easy. She hurried to the store and got there Just as Robinson was making an investigation. "When I found the door unlocked a few minutes before 9 o'clock. I thought Mr. Wolff had returned. I went in side and called his name. When he did not answer I drew my revolver and started back to investigate. At this moment Mrs. Wolff came In. I had a great deal of trouble keeping her back. I turned on the light and saw a show case had been broken and that there was blood on the floor. Going back further I saw jewelry scattered about on the floor. I found Mr. Wolff's body lying in the rear." The blood stained collar found in the place was then exhibited to Robinson for purposes of identification. He recognized it as one he saw lying on a chair near Wolffs body. His cross examination was taken up by Mr. Jeffrey and kept up until the arrival of 5 o'clock necessitated adjournment of court for the day. The case will be resumed this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Curious people all but fought to get Into the courtroom yesterday. When all seats had been taken the courtroom doors were closed. The small courtroom holds less than 100 people so that the attendance necessarily will be limited during the trial. Several women were among those present yesterday. Scores stood around the corridors wait ing a chance to see the principals In the case. When the door of the courtroom would be opened eager faces of the mor bidly curious would be craned into the opening. Witnesses were permitted in the courtroom in a body yesterday, but an order will be Issued this morning ex cluding them, except while actually on the witness stand. Record time is being made In the case. It la not expected to get all tlje testimony in this week, but there Is a chance of finishing by Monday night, the attorneys in the caa say.
