Time When Fulton Op

Long Array of Facta, Senate
Replaces Appointment on
Shelf Deppite Protest.
OREGOXIAN NEWS E UREA XT, Wash
ington, March 2. John C. 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. A proposal that the theaters
be closed on Sunday was voted down.
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.

BDNAPAHTE FORBIDS BRIDGE
SAXGl-IXAKY ENCOUNTER SOON
EXPECTED.
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."

to their senses. They are beginning to realize the fallacy of paying rent for a

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
