A second copy of the confession was
irawn up and signed by Kicheson
Itier. and this copy, dated January 5.
was turned over to District Attorney
I'elietler. A conference followed, but
w nether It had any bearing upon what
la tn store for Kicheson was not made
known. Everything tha'. seemed to
hint at compromise was discredited
by the District Attorney, as haa been
told.
District Attorney Telletler has
pointed out that, although confession
Is not a plea to Indictment. It Is avail

It would mean only conviction.
As a rtrst dearee verdict is the worst
outcome the defense could expect, law
yers believe that counsel rarely would
permit the confession to sto forth
without the hope of something" less
than the death penalty. The supTsres
tion of confinement In an asylum
It rows out of this belief. It is pointed
out that this result could be obtained
by either an understanding; with the

with the Governor, who holds the par

Kicheson's confession was bare of

that he enlarged upon It in conversa

Six tong houses In the old and new
Chinatown, according to Chinese gos
sip, have t'ven up the pagan worship
which was a prominent part of the
ritual of the societies. They have in
several rnses destroyed the papier
inuche rim res from China an I in other
rases have relegated them to the back
ground., where they are kept more as
curiosities than as objects of the ven
eration which prompted their worship.
In three of the houses in the new
town an American flag and a flag of
the new China are hung across the
altar table where the Josses stood.
Following the destruction of images
In the new Chong llwa hall on Davis
street, merchants who are members of
the business houses which make up the
roll of the Chong Hwa decided that
the pagan functions had of reality no
place In the society rituals, and the
Image were put away. Ancestral
Josses and family heirlooms of worship
are not Included In the exodus. It is
said.
Just when the action was taken
was not divulged by members of tha
tongs. The organisation of the soci
eties is secret and actions taken in
their closed meetings are held sacred,
but the absence of the figures In sev
eral of the house led to Inquiry by
Chinese not member of the tongs, and
the giving up of the old religion was
discovered.
Coming at a time when .the Chong
Hwa. which Includes the 4U Chinese
business houses tn the city, have raised
the republican flag over their new
hall at 2m Davis street, and the In
dividual business houses likewise are
decorated with the emblem of the new
republic. The action of the tongs has
n 11 ed a great deal of excitement In
Chinatown. The believers In the pagan
worship, who are so few that they had
diftictutv In holding their last annual
celebration of the worship festival,
protested against the removal of the
images at the same time as the rais
ing of the rebel flag.
Whether the decision will be held
as final will be told upon the return
of On Hlng. head of a mercantile
house In the new town, who left re
cently for the headnuarters of the
tongs In an Francisco to confer with
tor.g leaders there. He has not yet
returned to Portland, but leaders of
the ton:s here await word from him.
The ceremonial of the socleti-s. some
Chinese contend, is not complete with
out the pagan ceremonials, and the
keeping of the form of the worship,
while giving up the substance, may
be the result. Chinese society men
say.

Department Kepi-ewentjitlveei Travel
From California to Alaska to
Iarn of Needed Idisht
house Improvement.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Traveling
representatives of th Bureau of
Lighthouses, of th Department of
Commerce and Labor, have returned to
Washington after an inspection of
lighthouse work on the coasts of
Washington. Oregon and California,
Such trips are made for the purpose of
standardizing the engineering ana dusi
ness methods throughout the Light
house l-ervlce and for learning at first
hand, for the Information of the bu
reau and the department, the actual
working conditions of the service.
Many meritorious feature In details
of the work have been developed in
the different lighthouse districts and
aro gathered and disseminated by
means of these trips. Suggestions with
regard to handling the work are re
ceived from the local official and dis
cussed with them in a more satisfac
tory and complete manner than can be
developed through correspondence.
On a part of their Journey the bureau
representative accompanied the tender
Man-unlta on a regular trip of coaling
the light vessels ut sea in the vicinity
of Cape Flattery, off the entrance to
the Straits of Juan de Fuca, at the ex
treme northwest corner of the State of
Washington. One of these vessels is
located on Swlftsure Bank, close to the
international boundary, about six miles
off Vancouver Island, and the other at
I'matllla Koef. marking dangerous
rocks south of the cape.
Hlak and Hardship lavolved.
Both vessels are in exposed posi
tions and the question of receiving coal
and other supplies during the stormy
season Is a matter Involving risk and
hardship on the part of tho officers
and crew of both the tenders and the
lightships. Small boats are swung
overboard, and the coal. previously
sacked in burlap bags weighing about
luo pounds each. Is tossed Into thwtn
from the decks of the tender. The
crew then row tho cargo boats along
side the lightship, and the bags of cool
are lifted aboard. It Is not generally
possible to take more than two or
throe tons at one boatload, and as from
la to 50 tons are usually delivered to
the lightship a number of trips are
necessary.
On the present trip coal was supplied
to the lighthouses and for signals on
shore In much the same tnannor. ex
cept that landings are usually made
through the surf on the beach and tho
coal carried ashore and wheeled to the
bins.
An important point visited In this
connection was the entrance to the Co
lumbia Kiver. where-the War Depart
ment has been at work building u Jetty
and dredging the channel.
Besides Investigating tha lighthouse
engineering problems of the Pacific
Coast, It Is the special duty of one of
the traveling representatives to Inspect
every tender and light vessel In the
service. These Inspections are thor
ough, covering all department and ev
ery part of each vessel. This repre
sentative dons overalls and Jumper and.
followed by the projier officer of the
vessel, proceeds to examine and make
tests of the engines, pumps, boilers,
coal rooms, water tanks, bilges, work
ing equipments, etc.. going to every
j. art of the vessel: noting the condition
of each part; giving verbal orders how
any part or feature might be kept in
better condition: and at the same time
noting anv repairs or improvements
that should be made or installed in the
near future. i
Maadarrl la Raised.
This method of inspection saves con
siderable money each year for the
service, and at the same time the work
is much Improved and standardised
on all the vessels. - The officers and
crews of lighthouse vessels are con
scientious men who are doing the best
they know, but there are many im
proved ways nd methods of caring for
the different parts of vessels which are
explained to them by the traveling
representative of the bureau, who Is an
expert along this line.
Another of the traveling representa
tives of the bureau devotes his time
and energy to examining tho district
offices and the lighthouse depots. He
examines the business methods In use.
fifing systems, property return, prep
aration of proposals, contracts and
vouchers. He Introduces the best busi
ness methods known In any of the dis
tricts, and discontinues poor and obso
i.t. methoiis If still in use In any dis
trict. He also sees that the standard
forms and books are understood and
used and that no labor Is wasted in
keeping unnecessary special books or
blanks, or by poor business methods.
Both the office and field forces of
eaiTi district are much benefited by the
visits of the traveling representatives
of the bureau. The aim is to stand
ardize, to adopt the best, and to dis
card the poor and the unnecessary
methods. Much good has been .accom
plished already in this direction.
HA MBIT KG AGENT VISITS CITY
German Shipping Plrm May Send
Vessels to Portland.
J. J. Blockberger. member of the
Vonderlung shipping firm of Hamburg.
Germany, was In Portland yesterday In
vestigating as to general shipping
conditions which will result with the
completion of the Panama Canal.
"I am the New York representative
of the Vonderlung Bros, shipping firm."
said Mr. Blockberger, "and have been
sent West to Investigate the conditions
that will apply to the Tacific Coast
ports when the Panama Canal opens,
and was mainly through the repre
sentations of the value of the terminals
here that I was sent.
1 believe that all the cities of the
Pacific Northwest will be of the very
first Importance In 1914. for they are
the logical points for the great ship
ping lines of Europe to load wheat and
flour, as well as machinery and rails
for the Orient. A there Is more grain
dlrectlv tributary to Portland, on ac
count of its down-grade transporta
tion facilities, than any other of the
ports. It will become the main export
ing point for this product.
The general conditions here are so
favorable for export trade that my
recommendation will be to use this port
and Its vessels will bo regular visitors
within the next few years. Eventually
ther may build their own docks and
terminal here, but that Is a matter to
be decided in the future, as Initial ar
rangements can be made with the pres
ent advantages.
"The Vonderlung line is one of con
siderable Importance In Germany and
has been in existence for manv vears.
Its vessels sre engaged principally In
the South America and South Africa
trade aud Lnlciula tu .build raw ,yr.s".'.a
to take advantage of the opportunl-
es offered by the opening of the Pan
ama Canal."
Marine Notes.
The steamer Breakwater arrived last
night from Coo Bay with freight and
passengers.
The French bark Marie Is on her
way up the river and will arrive to
duy. A cargo of grain for Europe is
awaiting her.
The German hlp Reinbek, due at
Santa Rosalia from Hamburg, has been
chartered at 67s 6d by the Pacific Ex
port Lumber Company to load lumber i
at Portland for the L'nited Kingdom.
The steamer Roanoke arrived last ;
night from California port after a fair
passage for thi time of the year. She
had a good cargo, but her passenger
list was light,
Th chooner J. II. Lunsmann, 51
day out from Wlnslow for Santa Ro
salia., ha been chartered by W. R.
Grace to load lumber on the Colum
bia for Valparaiso at 52 6d.
The steam schooners Westerner and
Nome City have been fixed for lumber
from the Columbia for Han Francisco
at l ;5. and the Carlos, from the Co
lumbia for Lo Angeles, at $4.75.

EXHAUSTING the vocabulary of de
scription and making difficult any
desire to conscientiously dissect it as
a stage fabrication, especially so in
view of the atmosphere of improbabil
ity which the play carries with it. "A
Fool There Was" undertook a bold ex
periment last night at the Helllg and
scored as one of the best-acted pieces
ever brought to Portland.
Concerning the actual sto' and its I
posai unities, w cu as sa)tf nipiiug, woo
was Indirectly responsible for the pro
duction. "'That is another story." Safe,
however, is the assertion that "'A Fool
There Was" is intensely dramatic, pic
turing in detail that is theatrical
through and through, a stage version
of the thought and philosophy sound
ed in Kipling's "The Vampire." with
an animated Burne-Jones painting
which inspired ' Kipling as a setting.
Around this theme of paints and poet.
Porter Emerson Browne has woven a
sensational, superficially clever dra
ma, sprinkled with occasional truth,
sincerity and logic. The line of de
marcation between drama and real
old-fashioned thriller-drama is almost
lost, but once engrossed in the telling
of the story this fault, if fault it be,
is never held in sight of the audi
ence. That time-worn triumvirate of two
men and one woman Is. in Mr.
Browne's play, reversed and two wo
men, naturally one good and one bad.
struggle for a man, who la the hus
band of the good woman. A typical
business man is he. high In the finan
cial world and contented with his lot
as husband and father. An important
business call takes him abroad and on
the deck of an ocean liner he meets
the "vampire" for whom a distracted
youth has Just killed himself. In full
view of the audience.
Despite his prated bigness and his
first-act discourse on hia happiness in
his home, the man turns from bidding
his wife and child good by. and walks
straight Into the grasp of the "vam
pire." He neglects the mission which
takes him abroad and spends his hours
In riotous living In . Paris and Venice.
As 1 inevitable, his wife leaves him,
and he dies a horrible, mouthing vic
tim of his dissipation. It is this last
act that grlpa the spectators. While
the man scream In madness, his wife
comes, forgiving and seeking to help
him to reclaim his manhood. He makes
one supreme effort but ths vampire
"calls" and following a tremendous
struggle, he succumb to death.
While "A Fool There Was" is mighty
satirical In spats, it is not thanks to
Mr. Browne a deluge of cynicism, but
is rather a selection of a few special
aversions to superficial belief and a
smart, rapid cudgeling of them. For
tunately this play has an exhilarating
flow of epigram and is distinguished by
polished acting.
An excellent cast supports Robert
Hilllard as "The Foot" It is in the
last act that this actor makes apparent
his best efforts and the dramatic ap
peal of his work Is admirable. His
characterisation of the frensied drunk
en victim Is morbidly gripping. So sin
cerely does he enact the role that a
great wave of sympathy swept up to
him in his struggle to get back his
decency and this despite the fact that
the audience did not condone nor for
give. Virginia Pearson Is an attractive
vampire. Alphons Ethier has a role
sympathetic and likable as a friend of
both the husband and wife. To this
part he brings fine shading in portrayal
while his moments with the drunken
wretch are gems in naturalness.
Stella Archer makes attractive the
role of the wtfe. The production will
remain at the Heilig up to and Includ
ing Wednesday night.
SCHOOLS MAY BE COLD
Superintendent Rlgler Has Issued
No Orders to Principals.
Although there wa some question
In the minds of parents last night as
to whether or not the public schools
would open this morning on account of
the danger from falling wires and Ice.
Superintendent Rlgler had Issued no
order to the principal last night to
close the schools.
The heating apparatus of many of
the schools requires -the operation of
electric fans, however, to force the
heated air into the room. In some
schools, among which Is the Jefferson
I High, the fans can be connected
i either with a motor or with an en
gine. If power cannot be ootainea at
some of the schools for the running
of the fans, the rooms cannot be
heated, and It will not be possible to
hold school. School Clerk Thomas
said last night th best way will be
for those in doubt to telephone the
principals of their respective schools
between S and 8:30 this morning.
