Young: got an other black eye In the Senate this even ing:. Once more, on Fulton's objection, the Senate refused to consider ilr. Young's nomination. When the Senate went into executive session Bourne called tip the Portland postoffice case and asked for a vote. Fulton again said he could not consent to a vote until he had laid before the Senate a large array of facts appertaining to Mr. Young, which he had gathered with much care. Bourne angrily demanded that Fulton present his facts and get done with It. He insisted that Fulton agree to conclude his remarks, however, at some stated time and then let a vote be taken. Fulton replied that he could not limit himself: that, if he once undertook a statement of his protest, he would have to carry It to a finality. His meaning was apparent and several Republican Senators intervened at this Juncture and insisted that the Senate could not afford to waste time over this nomination. Upon their demand, Mr. Young's nomination was again laid aside. Bourne admitted today that Mr. Young cannot be confirmed unless Fulton gives Ills consent.

LID PUT ONJN PETALUMA Liquor-Selling and Phonograph Playing Barred on Sunday. PETALUMA. Cal., March 2. The city trustees put the lid on this town today, t least so far as Sunday is concerned, by the adoption of an ordinance which ordered all saloons closed from midnight Saturday until Monday morning, and pro hibiting the playing of phonographs and "other noisemaking machines," on the Sabbath.

The passage of the new blue law fol lows an active campaign by numerous taxpayers and clergymen whose peti tion asking for Its adoption was signed by a large number of residents. The Sunday closing act Is so worded as to include all restaurants which sell liquor, but it falls to specify Just what, outside of the phonographs, the trustees con 6id?r "noisemaking." 1 WALPOLES GO BEFQREJURY I TeMiry Against Klenlen and the 3Ioral Squad. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Walpole, of 390 Everett street, who were recently un ceremoniously aroused from their slum bers by Detective Kienlen and forced to produce.' evidence that they are married, we're beffSrefhe grand' Jury - yesterday to testify regarding their treatment. Sub- punaes .were hikq i?sueu iiir .ir. ana Mrs. James Madison - who live In the same louse. Walpola said yesterday, that ha be lieves Detective Kienlen raided the apartment-house upon information given Cap tain Slover by the Madisons. He and his wife told reporters after they had been examined by the grand Jury that Kienlen was not satislied with awaking them at an early hour In the morning, but also Insisted upon inspecting the room of Miss Lena Schoelte, calling for her marriage license, and vainly searching her sleep ing room for a male companion. The Walpoles said that Miss Schoelta is a friend of theirs, and had only taken a room at the apartment-house the night before the raid. "Our case was perhaps more aggravated, than a number of other outrages which that outfit has been pull ing off recently," said Walpole, "but no body seems to care to come to the front. That is Just what we Intend to do. We don't care so much for ourselvea, for I have been used to some pretty rouyii knocks in my days, but I am going to find out Just how much protection the average law-abiding citizen of Portland has under this 'moral squad' administra tion. It isn't Kienlen that we are after particularly. He is only a pliant tool of the administration. It Is the dis graceful system that I want to attack. "If we proceedd criminally against Kienlen we probably would not get any where, and if we sued him for damages we would have his bondsmen to. tight. I am dubious as to what satisfaction we would get. if we appealed to the Mayor and the Police Commission. It doesn't look as if a person could hope for much comfort from either Mayor Lane or Tom Greene. So there "you are. But we are going to try." SPERRY LEAVES GOSffMARO ADMIRAL GOES TO NAVAL COL LEGE FOU TIME. Tran -trer Is at Own Request, and Officer Is Succeeded hy Rear Admiral Schroeder. WASHINGTON. March 2. Rear-Admiral Charles Sperry today made for mal application to be relieved from duty as commander-in-chief of the At lantic battleship fleet, and Rear-Ar-miral Seaton Schroeder lias been ap pointed in his place. Admiral Sperry was tendered the presidency of the Naval War College, but declined the position, indicating his preference for subordinate duty there. Rear-Admiral Richard Walnwright will retain command of the second di vision of the fleet. Rear-Admiral AVill lam T. Potter is transferred from com mand of the fourth division to command the third division, formerly in charge of Rear-Admiral Schroeder. Rear-Admiral Edward Barry, who has been supervisor of naval auxil iaries at New York, has been appointed commander of the fourth division. Admiral Sperry will haul down his flag as commander-in-chief on the 8th Instant, when Admiral Schroeder will assume command. The Impression is that the latter's tenure will be but tem porary, and that before the Summer is over he will turn over the command to Admiral Walnwright. Admiral Sperry is thoroughly conver sant with the duties at the Naval War College, he having acted at one time as Its president, so that his work there with Admiral Merrill will be congenial. The battleship Illinois is soon to go Into reserve at the League-Island Navy yard, and It is expected that her cap tainj J. D. Bowyer, will be assigned to the Rhode Island, or the Kansas. Tomorrow the Navy Department will make public a letter from President Roosevelt to Admiral Sperry commend ing the splendid achievements of the fleet on its world cruise.

Nicholas Longworth Objects to For mer's Orders to Wife, and Re taliation Is Threatened. WASHINGTON', March 2. Official Washington. or at least the social part of It. Is looking forward to the days Immediately following March 4 with considerable interest. There is a general feeling that a duel or some other equally sanguinary affair may come oft then. The principals In this expected encounter are no others than Nichoals Longworth and Jerome Bona parte, and the story leading up to the Affaire" is as follows: This Winter, as everybody knows, at the smartest balls and cotillions it has been the custom to set aside a room for bridge, a wise and considerate in novation, since a number of both men and women who attend fnese functions. especially the chaperons, who are little enough considered, do not care to dance. Mrs. Longworth, always keen after the latest fad, decided to Institute this practice, and so at the last german she started a game of bridge. It seems some of the men onV the committee objected. Jerome Bonaparte,, great grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, and therefore great-grand-nephew of Napoleon, giving himself royal airs, which he occasionally as sumes, approached Mrs. Longworth and Informed her, as a member of the com mittee, that the game of bridge must stop, the conversation between them is not reported, but its Import present ly oame to the ears of Nicholas . ong worth, whose family, if its originator did not steal a throne, is quite equal to that of the Bonapartes. Mr. Longworth went up to the kingly Jerome and asked him if he had told his wife she must stop playing bridge. Mr. Bonaparte admitted that he had used his royal prerogative to the ex tent named, whereupo Mr. Longworth said: "All I have got to say is, you are a blankety-blank blank. Now, what have you got to say about that?" "I will settle that with you after the fourth of March." said Mr. Ponaparte. as he turned on his heel. Now society Is asking why he should wait until after the fourth of March. Why the affair should not have been settled Immediately, is the question. The occurrence has been discussed from every point of view, some siding with Mr. Bonaparte in the course he took, others upholding Mrs. longworth and everybody applauding "l.ick."

The fact of the matter is, people are coming to their senses. They are beginning to realize the fallacy of paying rent for a place that they might easily own. GREGORY has made it possible for more wage-earners to purchase their own homes than any other man who ever came to Portland. By his method of placing GREGORY HEIGHTS on the market at a small expense, eliminating expensive selling, he has been able to sell lots in GREGORY HEIGHTS for as low as $100, only $5 down and $2.50 per month, or a home, built and ready to occupy for as little as $10 a month. With GREGORY HEIGHTS the best located, most accessible and highest point in Portland, the wage-earner's opportunity is unexcelled. Hurry..
