TFTE MOKIJNGr OKKUOJMIAIV, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1910. CHINESE SMUGGLED DAILY, IS -ALLEGED United States Attorney at Ta coma Sure of Trans Pacific Influx. ACCUSED MARINER FREED Carpenter of Orcano Testifies He Saw 2 0 Hiding in Vessel and That 1 7 Slipped Down Gang plank Watch. Is Ordered. TACOMA, Wash., March 20: Subse quent to their failure today to convict a steamship officer of the charge of smuggling Chinese into the United States. Federal officers here announced that they were absolutely certain smuggling of Ori entals was practiced daily on the trans pacific lines. Immigration officials of this city, Portland, Seattle and many other points complain of an influx of Chinese for whom they cannot account and who are equally unable to give clear accounts of their movements. First Officer Loftus, of the steamer Oceanp, who was accused of smuggling Chineee into the United States at Ta coma. was discharged today. United States Attorney Hutson in moving to dis miss the case for lack of evidence de clared that the federal officers are cer tain smuggling of Chinese is being prac ticed dally on the trans-Pacific lines. He announced that the utmost vigilance would be maintained and that if the guilty ones are caught they will be dealt with in no light fashion. Frank H. Kemp, carpenter of the Oceano, was the principal witness against Loftus, but his evidence was unsubstan tiated and Attorney Hutson realized that further evidence would be necessary be fore he could make a motion to bind the officer over to,tlie grand Jury. Kemp testified that he had seen 20 Chinese hiding in the second compartment bunker in the ship's hold. He also said he reported his discovery to Loftus, who told him he knew the men were there and to keep quiet about it. He testified that he saw 17 Chinese slip down the gangplank of the Oceano while the steamer was moored at the Vancouver dock last week. Kemp also testified that he first saw the 20 stow aways throe days after the vessel left Yokohama and that the saloon steward, a Chinese, fed them during the remainder of the trip, receiving $160 for keeping quiet. The Chinese steward and a Chinese boatswain were called to the stand, but they denied vigorously any knowledge of anything connected with the alleged smuggled Chinese. ORIENTALS SEIZED HERE Federal Officials Believe They Were Smuggled Into Country. Three Chinamen were seized yesterday. Federal officers believing they were smuggled Into the United States via Canada and Washington. They gave their names as Chung Oai. Deck Jao and Dung Yeu. None could give satisfactory explanation of their presence in Portland and when taken before the Commissioner of the United States Court they demanded separate trials. They gave bonds for their appearance, as allowed by the Fed eral statute. Government officials say that when the Chinese appear again for hearing they will have been posted so thoroughly as to the names of cities and streets that they will have no trouble in answering questions. As a rule the questions apply to localities in San Francisco where the Chinese. usially contend that they have passed their lives. Immigration officials are at a loss to account for the large number of Clilnese appearing in the city of late and who are unable to give an account of them selves. They invariably come from the North. No arrests have been made from among the passengers alighting from trains from the South. Chinese held for Investigation usually assert that they were born in San Francisco's famous Chinatown,, that they are cooks or dish washers and that they have . never at tended school. They account for their presence North by saying they have been In Seattle or Tacoma visiting relatives, and passed through Portland en route to their native city. A belief is gaining ground that Port land is a station on the route from some point along Puget Sound or in Canada where the Chinese have succeeded in establishing a receiving station for men who are brought over on the trading schooners from China ports. It is prob able that an effort will be made to hold Chinese under charges without bail, to prevent coaching of them by their wily brethren. ROPE CUT;B0Y IS SAVED t.ad Playing on Car Track Dragged Up Hill by Cable. TACOMA, March 29. Attorney E. D. Hodge and an unknown boy were the principals late yesterday afternoon in what was perhaps the most peculiar accident ever recorded in Tacoma. Luckily, no one was hurt, but if it had not been for the prompt action of Hodge the lad probably would have been killed. The boy was playing on Eleventh street hill. He had a rope around his waist and in running across the tracks the cord fell into the cable slot and taught on the cable. The lad was thrown to the pavement and slid up the hill on his stomach, with the speed of a cable car. Attorney Hodge was just leaving the Courthouse when he saw the boy's form being dragged rapidly up the hill. Realizing the lad's danger, he drew his pocketknife and rushed to his assist ance. He caught the rope under the boy and was himself dragged some dis tance before he succeeded In cutting it. DOGS EARN EASTER FUND Owner Deposits 'Mite Each Time Canines Shoo Chickens Away. VANCOUVER.

Great crowds of -wheat farmers welcomed the QjJf ift N. and O. A. C. demonstration HV"1 its tour today through ShermiSjpfonty. At Grass Valley", the people gathered long before the train was opened for inspection and the same marked desire for information was in evidence that has been shown all through the trip. Moro, the county seat, was reaohed at noon, where the train was again crowded as during the entire trip. The experiment station at this, place Is rapidly being prepared for use by Superintendent Umburger. An arte sian well outfit began drilling Monday and inside of three months a resi dence for the superintendent will be finished as well as an office, laboratory and barn. Six hundred experimental plots have been laid off and all the farm plowed and 200 plots will be placed in crop this Spring. Theories Soon In Practice. Some Portland houses have donated two carloads of farm implements and In the near future the farmers of Eastern Oregon can see with their own eyes the demonstration train theories in practice at Wasco, where the largest audience of the day was gathered. George Crosfleld, a prominent mer chant and implement dealer, sent out invitations to every farmer in his dis trict of the county to visit the train, and his' publicity scheme brought re sults. He states that Sherman County is promised the best crop in years and expects to produce the largest wheat crop this year In the history of her existence. There are 24 automobiles owned in this wheat center and this city is a prosperous-looking community. The trip through Sherman County was al together too short, according to Dr. Withycombe, as there was not suffi cient time at any of the stops to an swer many questions asked the profes sors. Crowds Show Interest. Good-natured crowds were particu larly interested in the. departments devoted to the conservation of moisture and poultry husbandry, in charge of Professors Scudder and Dryden, and in several Instances many remained on the train and went to the next stop. One man boarded the train at Moro and did not leave until arrival at The Dalles. Wheat farmers of Sherman County are going to do better in the future and as one of their number, Ira Hill, near Rufus, secured the 1100 prize last Fall for the best bushel of wheat raised in the state, his example has imbued the whole county with renewed faith in the possibilities of Sherman County SOIL COURT CANT SETTLE FEES No Jurisdiction In Dispute Between Lawyer and Client, Says Tribunal.

BOXERS TRAINING ACTIVELY Fight Fans Expect Much From Match Between Taylor and Lessard. All the boxers who will participate in the Oregon Athletic Club smoker, to . be held at the Exposition Rink on April 5, have resumed active training. All the entries appear to be in the best possible condition. Carroll, who is scheduled for the feature match in the bantamweight class with JockCy Bennett, has changed his training quarters to the firemen's hall, at East Third and East Pine streets. Jimmy Fitton, the lightweight, who will meet Danny O'Brien, is also training at this place. Bennett, Lessard and Gillen can be seen at work every afternoon at Tracy's gym nasium in the Exposition building. O'Brien Is working out at the Police gym, while Espositio, the East Portland Italian, who will meet Gillen in the six round preliminary, is working at the Portland Swimming Club's gymnasium. Roscoe Taylor, Iessard's opponent, has been getting in shape in Seattle, but is expected to arrive in Portland today or tomorrow. It Is predicted by many of the fight fans that the go between Taylor and Lessard will have more action than the scheduled feature bout between Carroll and Bennett. Lessard is one of the physical culture type whose muscles have been hardened by employment as an iron worker, and lie is one of the hardest fighters who ever has put on gloves in Portland. Taylor has a great reputation in Seattle and is the pride of his city. BENNETT IS TRAINING HARD Little Fighter Shows He Is Clever and Dangerous Boxer. Jockey Bennett and Jack Lessard, two of the boxers who will be seen , in the Oregon Athletic Club smoker April 5, gave a wonderful five-round exhibition yesterday afternoon in their training quarters at Tracey's gym nasium.

The Turkish Rockers those handsome, nocr-fnl nippps wi.ll the leather worked in so many artistic ways. The new revolv ing Turkish Rockers are the best pieces yet shown in leather they turn at the least touch. And the Couches, they, too, are shown in greater variety than ever before-. Some with exposed frames of golden oak and mahogany. Others covered entirely in leather. 'Davenports and Bed Davenports uphol stered in leather they truly are luxuriously handsome pieces. Frames of mahogany and golden oak. And then there are some new Suites for library, Jliving-room or for reception offices. Frames of polished' and dull-finished golden oak.

For instance at $20 is shown a heavy Arm Rocker or Chair of Colonial design, with frame of quartered golden oak, spring seat and back upholstered in leather. a hard hitter and a dangerous man. He has taught the aggressive Lessard a few things since the two have been working together that will undoubted ly stand the fighting ironworker in good stead in his match with Roscoe Taylor, the Seattle pride. Bennett fights low and generally comes out of a clinch with a right and left cross on his opponent's jaws, tn dodging and ducking he has few equals, and he has a right kick that is always dangerous. Lessard fights considerably like Bat tling Nelson, having wonderful endur ance, an almost perfect physique, and always on the aggressive. Carroll, who is training at East Pine and East Third streets, is also showing up in great form. Carroll will have the advantage of Bennett tn reach and possibly is a trifle more clever, but he will have to use different tactics than he did with Jimmy Austin two weeks ago, or Bennett will get his "goat." After going five rounds with Lessard yesterday, Bennett took on Gillen, the lightweight who will meet Esposlto, for two more rounds. Fitton, who will go against O'Brien 1n a ten-round light go, is training at East Third and East Pine streets. O'Brien Is working at the Police gym, while Esposito is straightening out his kinks at the Portland Swimming Club. Esposito will have a' large number of Italian supporters, and Is expected to make things Interesting for Gillen. Oregon City Man Found Dead. OREGON CITY, Or., March 29.
