Interest of residents of cities) and
towns throughout the state baa been
nllsted In the campaign to ralsa a
Ituarantee fund for next year's meet or
the Portland Country Club and Live
stock Association. Consequently those
In charge of the campaign are greatly
encouraged, for wltn the combined ef
fort of the City of Portland and the
tate at large they are confident the
desired number of ticket will be dis
posed of readily.
A number of letters from out-of-town
districts were received at cam
paign headquarters yesterday enclos
ing subscriptions. The letters also
contained the information that resi
dents of the different sections were
deeply interested in the success of the
campaign.
There la to be. .1 special meeting or all
special committee members at 1 o'clock
Saturday. The meeting will be held in
the convention hall of the Commercial
Club for the purpose of consultation
and discussion of progress. It is hoped
that all members will attend.
The various committees were busy
In the city yesterday, though only a
few reported. Many have not turned
In their reports, waiting until they
have completed the canvass of the busi
ness firms to which they have been
assigned. The East Sldfc Business
Men's Club is actively engaged in a
canvass of the big area across the
river and splendid results are being
obtained.
Yesterday two additional committees
were appointed, one representing the
printers and the other implement deal
ers. Both committees will bearln work
Immediately. It Is desired to secure
subscriptions for 6000 tickets, the pro
ceeds to be used as a guarantee fund
for next year's meet of the Pacific Na

followed the work of the various com
mittees. Following are the letters received

CATCH CHINESE OFF GUARD
Ierectlrea Arrest I4 Gamblers In
Raid Late at Night.
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

night- She was locked up in the City

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.

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.

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.

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.

fresh scars on his face, head and hands.
He said trie maras were cai stmujiicB,
that a cat bit his hand and that an ax
cut his head. 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.

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.
