Mrs. Sunday May Address
Overflow Meeting.

Itaseball Evangelist Will Have the
Assistance of Other Well
Known Speakers In His Meet
ing at the White Temple.
SPOKANE BIDS (;OOIBY TO
M NDAY WITH FONAT10N'
OK flO.OOO.
SPOKANE. 1Va.li.. Feb. 7. (Spe
cial.) Evangelist Billy" Sunday
.aid goodby to Spokane last night,
his congregation sending him on his
way with a thank-offering of mora
than SlO.oOO. It Is a National record,
for ' while Sunday has received one
larger offering, it was in a city where
the cost of conducting meetings was
not half that borne by the people of
Spokane, who in six weeks have con
tributed besid.' the thank-offering,
J15.O00 for the expenses of the re
vival. Including the .building of the
tabernacle.
Sunday spoke to 9, MX) persons, all
who could crowd their way in. Men
were heard to offer $5 for a seat,
and In one cas. a sale vas effected
and the money turned into the of
fering while the man who had sold
his scat crowded against the trail.
Interest in the arrival o? the noted
evangelist, William A. Sunday; collo
quially known as Billy," or "Bill." con
tinues to be maintained without the least
degree of falling: off.
Sunday's "nine" arrives Tuesday. By
the term "nine," Is meant, of course. Mr.
and Mrs. Sunday and tlietr four children,
making six. Mr. and Mrs. "Mel" Trot
ter, and Miss Muirhouse. three more,
making nine iq ail. Count 'em. Mrs.
Sunday, be It known, is ateo a power as
a speaker, and If there should be an
"overflow" meeting: necessary on Tues
day night at the White Temple it Is
more than probable that Mrs. Sunday
will have her talents called into play.
That is one thing which keeps the base
ball evangelist always keyed up to con
cert pitch in his pulpit oratory his bet
ter half and faithful comrade in the work
Is herself an orator of marked ability.
Mr. Sunday, as to denomination, is a
Presbyterian. A regularly ordained and
liowued minister, of that church. When
it comes to "putting- fire and brimstone"
over the "home plate" it la possible that
"Bill's" chosen - creed may be account
able for his fervor of speech; for a num
ber of exceedingly liery exhorters in re
ligious history have been Presbyterian.
In the event of Mrs. Sunday's deliver
ing an address it will be the first time
that Portland has ever heard her, as
well as her gifted husband. Promi
nent church women in this city have ex
pressed a keen desire to hear one of
their sex who has reaped such fame as a
pulpit talker, and should the overflow
meeting be provided for. It is to be hoped
Mrs. Sunday may consent to speak.
"Mel" Trotter, who speaks Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the White Tem
ple, has also been conferred with as to
a possible noon-day meeting Tuesday,
to be held at the assembly room of the
Y. M. C. A. building. Mr. Trotter may
talk to the business men of Portland, and
if he does, he will "talk right out in
meeting." His experience as a business
man, before entering the ministry via
the rum route, makes him a tart and
snappy exposer of the foibles of modern
commerce; and his remarks will be
peppered with the pungency of untamed
eloquence, and salted with the savor of
practical wisdom. Come and hear "Mel'
stir up the animals at the Y. M. C. A.
if he should make up his mind to appear.
Miss Muirhouse. the ninth member of
the party, has a reputation for eloquence
and personal magnetism which has pre
ceded her from the cities and towns where
she has spoken in the cause of religion.
She has appeared many times as a pul
pit orator, and Is very highly spoken of
for her talents.
Altogether, the Sunday aggregation Is
a company of "all-stars," as it were, in
the way of oratory. They will be prepared-
for any emergency In the way of
overflows or undertows, and there will
be no scarcity of eloquence In Portland
on Tuesday next. Don t forget "Bill.
The unique, the positive, the annihilating.
the scorching, the only "Bill."
Services will begin at 8 o'clock P. M.
at the White Temple, and If you're not
in your seat then you lose out on hear
ing "Bill."

WILLS AFTER TIGER
Councilman to Continue His
North End Investigation.
MORE RAIDS ARE PLANNED
City Father Declares It Looks as
Tliough Gambling Is Protect-

EtU.
ed-
In the Municipal Court this morning
there will appear for trial 35 men who
were apprehended In Councilman A. N.
Wills' personally conducted raid upon the
North End Saturday night. They are
charged with gambling, and those who
do not forfeit their bonds by falling to
appear will be vigorously prosecuted.
However, the proprietors of the places
where these men were arrested will not
be tried, for they were not Included in the
list captured in the police dragnet. Coun
cilman Wills says he will cause warrants)
to be Issued for their arrest, but yester
day no effort was made to apprehend
tnem.
But the strangest feature of the case is
the complete silence of Mayor Lane. He
positively refused to talk last night con
cerning the raid, and it Is said to be the
first time during his official career that
he has maintained silence when such
charges as "wide-open gambling." "pro
tection" and "understanding" are made
In connection with his administration.
Will Continue His Inquiry.
Such charges are numerous. Council
man Wills does not hesitate to stand
sponsor for them, but declines to specify

Portland, Oresjon.
the persons alleged to be responsible. He
says he will cause a rigid investigation
to be made.
"It certainly looks to me like there must
have been an understanding with some
one," Mr. Wills said, "for the games were
running wide open and no effort seemed
to be made to keep any one from seeing
what was going on."
It is said especial effort will be made
during the progress of the investigation
to ascertain the alleged reasons for inac
tivity of that branch of the detective de
partment that is supposed to look after
gambling. Detective Sergeant Kay is in
absolute charge . of that branch, it was
said at headquarters yesterday, and is
supposed to direct raids upon those places
where gambling is supposed to be con
ducted. "The police told me last night," said
Councilman Wills, "that they knew noth
ing about the existence of gambling in the
city, and further said it was next to im
possible to secure a conviction in Munici
pal Court. They said they could never
find a game where money was changing
hands.
Saw Money Change Hands.
"I watched the games In Erickson's and
Blazier's only a few minutes last night,
and saw several men pay out their money.
It wasn't difficult to see It, for the cash
ier seemed to make no effort to conceal
what he was doing. Nor did the players
seem in the least perturbed. Every one
acted as if gambling was conducted regu
larly at the two places and that there
was no need to worry about a possible
raid."
Councilman Wills has not completed his
effort to purify the cityl He really did
not know such conditions existed, he said,
for the Mayor has repeatedly insisted that
it was a closed 'town. Mr. Wills has
hardly begun his crusade. It Is said. After
ridding the city of public or open gam
bling, or at least showing the police that
such things exist, he will devote his ef
forts to other directions of alleged neglh
gence on the part of officials.
Go After Rooming-Houses.
The next crusade will include the room
ing houses, alleged hotels, that are con
ducted as thoroughly disreputable resorts
in nearly all parts of the city. Council
man Wills refused last night to state
when the next raid will take place, but
said that it will likely be directed at the
places that have sprung up like mush
rooms throughout the city since the red
light district of the North End was sup
posed to have been abolished. Council
man Wills has been Informed that in case
of such a crusade he may not find the
old North End places closed as tightly
as Mayor Lane professes to believe they
are.
Chief Gritzmacher believes there is no
open gambling in Portland. His men
have made numerous arrests, in fact
have caused arrests whenever they had
reason to believe gambling was In prog
ress, he says, but have encountered
great difficulty in securing convictions.
"If there Is any gambling in Portland
I don't know where it is, he said. "We
arrest persons whenever we believe they
are gambling, and the department has
done good work in suppressing that form
of violation of the law."
Among those who were arrested In the
North End raid were: John Hoover, Joe
Smith. Will Harris, Nick Dollar, John
Johnson. Fred Fain. George Stevens, G.
T. Downs. S. J. Wood. S. F. Montgomery,

A TRIBUTE TO SMITH
Frank L. Smith, the rnan of renown, .
"Fighting the Beef Trust" in Portland town.
Down on Alder, the shop in the center
With the red front, 226 you must enter.
Said the Trust: " Fifty . thousand Smith to bust."
But Smith has made them bite the dust.
It has taken toil and grit and sand,
And the very best meat from our Oregon land.
It 's ideally fresh, it 's pure and sweet,
Not a whit of a bit like TrustHce -car beef.
Then hurrah for Smith, old Oregon's son,
He has put those Eastern chaps on the run.
All of Smith 's men are honest and neat,
And take great pleasure in selling Smith's meat.
Courteous treatment you'll receive, I'm sure,
Along with the meat so good and pure.
These boys scream for Smith with vim,
For he saved their families from the jungle's din.
Now, farmers, attention! A word to you.
bmith wants your veal, and your poultry, too.
And your sheep and pork. He will pay you well.
He has a Home phone; also a Bell.
Just call him up and prices he'll quote.
You'll get prompt money now this is no joke.
Smith's word is good as well as his note.

The Beef Trust markets are continually begging us to
stand in with them and raise the price of meat but in
stead of raising it we are lowering it. You can't get
the above meats at these prices anywhere in the United
States today, outside of a Smith market. Down on
Alder street you will have to avoid the markets on both
sides of Smith's; they do not belong to us, and they
charge much more for meat than we do.
