A
WAR OF CHINESE
THREATENS CITY
Portland Police Take Hand in
Feud Between "Rebels"
and "Imperials."
ULTIMATUM IS ISSUED
Young Chins Association Make De
mands on Mancha Empire Re
form Organization an Trou
ble Appear Imminent.
With thre special policemen assigned
to guard th rooms of th Chines Em
pire Keform Association at 54 Second
street, a ten-1ay ultimatum Issued by
the Young China Association to the
members of the Chinese Kmpir Reform
jkusocLatJon and nnyslcal violno
threatened If the demands are not com
piled with, a miniature war In Port
land's Chinatown, based upon the strug
gle la the old country. Is Imminent.
Two meetings held last night, one by
the Reform Association and one by the
young Chinese, hardened the determina
tion on both aides. The 100 persons
present at the Young China Associa
tion meeting at me unong nw nan
at it'h Davis street Issued three de
mands to tiie Reform Association that
a sign embodying Imperialistic prin
ciples be torn from the front of Jfc
Reform Association building: that Lee
Hasinn. secretary, burn an injunction
which has been sworn out aalnst the
Young China Association, and that Lee
Magtnn publicly declare that he la a
friend of the revolution.
The meeting of the Chinese Empire
Reform Association, held in their hall
at 65 V, Second street, brought forth
the determination to stand pat.
Injunction la Seewe.
Yesterday Attorney Dan Powers, act
Ins; for the association, secured an In
junction In Judge Catena' court, ad
dressed at Lee Wuin. acting president of
the Yoong China Association and Its
members, warning Uiem to refrain from
Injury to the goods of th Reform As
sociation. It was served on Lee Quln
last night. Long Yuen. Dr. Wing Lee,
long Ue and Lee Maglnn are the com
plainants, all being members of the
Reform Association.
After speeches by Chan' Sing Kal
and Lea John Dal at the meeting of the
young Chinese, the entire body broke
for the doors, starting out In the direc
tion of the Reform Association Hall,
but the counsel of leaders restrained
then.
A Jury of It men was selected, and
the matter presented to them. They
decided unanimously that the demands
should be mad upon th Imperialist
body.
AM May Be Asked.
Til Chinese Empire Reform Associa
tion has branches in Salem, La Grande.
Pendleton, ban Franrlsco, Seattle and
other points In the West, and to sup
port lta fight, aid may be asked.
The Young China Association al
though newly organized, already em
braces most of the younger spirits In
all cities In th West which have any
considerable Chines population, and
snoney to fight the Injunction Issued
yesterday and protect members from
ronvictlon if they destroy property of
the Reform Association, may be asked
tor today.
Insurance on the sign of the Reform
Association was taken out several days
ago. Chinese gossip says, so that If any
harm comes to the emblem of th fast
waning Manchu dynasty, th associa
tion may be financially protected. Th
fact that th Imperialistic body re
reives its support from the Emperor la
charged by the young Chinese as th
reason for Its continuance, when they
ay It Is no lonser needed.

OLE NELSON REINSTATED
Patrolman Hero of Portland Heights
Car Holdnp Rejoins Force.
"I would rather see a policeman got
drunk occasionally than to sass his
superior officers.- said Civil Service
Commissioner Armstrong in a session
cf the Commission yesterday afternoon,
when the case of Harley Davis, patrol
roan, was discussed.
Davis, who vaa suspended some
months ago, was applying for rein
statement, and was present In person,
with l.u attorney, L. E- Crouch. The
young man had been asked by his
sergemnt about some domestic troublo
and had replied. "It's none of your
i n business." lie was suspended on
Ktneral principles, but for some reason
his case was overlooked and he was
nover tried.
-I want to make It clear." said Com
missioner Logan, "that I think most
emphatically that It is the business of
th superior officers what their mn
are doing and as to their family af
fairs, if they have domestic trouble.
i. do not like the attitude of this man.
who. even though Ira la applying (or
reinstatement, repeats thaf he does not
regard It as the business of his super
tor in the service to lnqulr of bis
family dlfncultlea."
"He's what is commonly called
c 'scrappy " said Commissioner Arm-
strong. l don't lik Insubordination;
,1 would sooner leeia officer get drunk
occasionally. I believe, than to see him
deAant and 'saucy.' I think there is
not sufficient discipline In the depart
ment at preeent : ther should b more
stringent regulations than ther are to
improve th service. Ther seam to
he cliques: the men seem to have a
tendency. If one gets In trouble, to
'stand In' and protect one another; I
don't like this attitude at all."
-Well. If the Lord lets me llv until
the special election. I will have an
amendment that will eliminate this
kind of business from the police de
partment.' aald Mayor Rushlight, who
was presiding. He did not comment
further and it is not known what he
Intends to submit.
After considerable discussion. In
which Attorney Crouch said that his
client felt b was entitled to back pay
and Intimated that he Intended to try
to collect it. the commissioners voted
to reinstate Davis, hut only with salary
from January 10. lie finally accepted
this ultimatum and will again become
a patrolman.
Ole Nelson, one of the best-known
policemen In the department, who has
been off the force for three years, was
reinstated, when in a motion he was
recommended as "one of the Ixvt of
ficers who ever served th city." Nelson
is th man who was shot by "Babe"
Walton, who held up a Portland
Heights car several years ago. Nelson
was on the car and became a target
for the thug's revolver. He showed
remarkable nerve and, though badly
wounded, disarmed the criminal ami
turned him over to a squad of police
called to the scene by the car crew.
Nelson resigned from the force during
Mavor Lane's administration.
While reinstating several former
employes In various departments, the
commissioners refused to reinstate a
large number because they, were not
recommended by their respective de
partment heads.

Madame Tingley's Lawyers
Read Letter Domestic
Rift Is Aired.
MAIM BLAMES THEOSOPHY
Arthur G. Frible Says Mrs. Thurs
ton, Whose Son Is Suing Priestess
or Cnlt, Did Not Act as If
She Were Sane.
PAN" DIEGO, Cal Jan. 10. (Special.)
"Mrs. No. 1" and not Mrs. Katherln
Tlnsley. head of th Universal Brother,
hood and Theosophlcal Society, was
credited with the admitted rift In th
domestic relations of Arthur O. Fria
ble, a wealthy business man of Fresno,
Cat, by evidence offered in court here
today. Frtsble is a witness In th suit
brought by George L. Patterson, son
of Mrs. Harriet P. Thurston, to break a
will by which Mrs. Thurston left $247,
000 to Madame Ting-ley.
"Mrs. No. 1" Is mentlned in a letter
written by Frisble and read today In
court, in an effort by Mrs. Tingley's
counsel to show that Mrs. Ting-ley was
not responsible for th coldness which
Frlsole testified existed between him
self and his family.
Woman's Name -Withheld.
The real name of the woman referred
to as "Mrs. No. 1" was withheld by
stipulation, the numeral belns; used
Instead of public reference to her.
State Senator Wright, Mrs. Tingley's
counsel, said she was well known.
Frtsble Is a former member of th
Tniversal Brotherhood and Is a wit
ness for the contestant. Patterson.
The Introduction of the letter caused
secrets in the Frisble family to be
dragged from their hiding place and
when the letter was read that part re
ferring to "No. 1" was so embarrassing
to the witness that his face colored
the hue of a Point Loin a sunset.
In cross-examination regarding his
engagement by Mrs. Thurston, formerly
Mrs. Patterson, to sell the Golden Hill
property at Kingston, Frisble told th
earn story he did on direct examin
ation, this being a contradiction of Mrs.
Katberlne Tingley's testimony that she
was In no way concerned In the ar
rangements made to have Frisble dis
pose of the place.
In detail, the witness described th
difficulty with Mrs. Tlngley concern
ing removal of his children from the
school at Point Loma and the alleged
trouble caused In his family by his
wife believing In the teachings of the
Brotherhood II said that he noticed
a change for the worse in his wife's
mental condition after she had been at
Point Loma and that she refused to
speak to him.
Cult Parted Couple, Sara Mass.
"In a measure my wife deserted me
for theosophy," said Frisble dramati
cally. Questioned about the difficulty h
had bad with Mrs. Tlngley, th wit
ness explained It was about taking his
children from the school and added th
statement when asked for his motive
In testifying against the head of th
Brotherhood that "I have no bitterness
in my heart for anybody that breathes
In this world."
Here th witness and Mrs. Tlngley
exchanged glances.
When bis family troubles were
brought out Friable said In explaining
why he returned with his family to
Point Loma that with his wife and fam
ily away from the Brotherhood home
stead, life was unbearable.
"It caused us to bs estranged," said
the witness. "When I met my family
In Chicago, they being on th way to
our home In Cleveland, my son would
not speak to me.
Referring' to Mrs. Thurston, he said:
"Her talk was not coherent and shs
would Jump from one subject to an
other In her conversation."
"You believed her to be Irrational
and yet you acted as her agent in
selling her property?" said Senator
W right.
"I understood that she was under
the direction of Mrs. Tlngley," replied
Frisble.
"You thought Mrs. Tlngley and her
associates were guiding Mrs. Thurs
ton?" asked Wrlsht.
"Yes."
Telegram la Iatrodace-d.
After further questioning about Mrs.
Patterson's condition, the examination
was directed to th return of Frisble
to Point Lome, and Senator Wright In
troduced a telegram from Frisble to
Mrs. Tlngley, which was read, as fol
lows: "Will you-permit family and self
to return to Point Loma at once? Deep
ly regret your good advtc not hooded.
Am suffering Intensely."
"What did you mean by 'suffering
lntenselyT "
"My family was urging me to r-
,turn to Point Loma. They refused to
live with me In Cleveland.
"What did you mean by reference
to "good advice?" "
"She advised me not to leave. I
believed In coming back they would
lose confidence In Mrs. Tlngley. This
happened later and they wer glad to
get away."
FREE FERRY IS INDORSED
St. Johns Commercial Club Also

Th St. Johns Commercial Club held
Its regular meeting last night and
several Important matters wer con
sidered. Mayor Couch submitted a copy

WONDERFULLY ingenious in Its

a real message and drives It home
a solution of applying self-help singly
Into our own lives but it is quite cer

Jerome) K. Jeromes who wrote tha
play, has based his appeal, and know
ingly too, on the common -consciousness
of an audience that does believe
and always will believe In regeneracy,
whether one applies the miracle as
self-help, or conscience, or faith, or
religion, or the power for good as op
posed to evlL If Is Is a sermon, it
Is a good one, and grips with a human
touch.
That is all there Is to the play Itself.
Familiar to all of us are the Issues;
love, snobbery. Jealousy, mendacity,
fear, hate thera Is nothing entirely
new to us save the great humanity
and Illuminating truths. From the rise
of the curtain, when the snooping,
thieving landlady enters, through all
the revelations of sordidness and deg
radation which wrongful living has
developed In the lodgers, until the
passing out of the stranger with the
words, "I, too, am a servant- I came
because you wanted me," this miracle
story of "Tha Passerby" Is alive and
vital.
It Is, however, for tha most part,
Forbes-Robertson's acting that reveals
the beauty of the production. The very
personality of the man. his fine pres
ence and Intellectual face shed a seri
ous radiance, not alone over the play,
but on the audience as well. His beau
tifully modulated voice holds the charm
and muslo of an organ. Its tones vary
ing from tha deeply tender to sonorous
passion.
After all It Is perhaps not acting
that Forbes-Robertson gives us, but
rather a presentment. So like a per
sonification, an actual realization is his
art, that It bears no likeness to act
ing. The mere fact that he Is but
pretending Is In Itself the triumph of
his art. He Is like no other actor.

PIANOS GOOD AND BAD
If Interested, Read This If Not, Pass It Up ,
Soma pianos are good. In fact there
are lots of good pianos; but. ohl the
poor ones, of which there are so many
offered to tha publlo pianos in ap
pearance, but do not deserve the name,
and while, to the unsuspecting, the
price may appear all right, yet in the
end they prove to be an expensive In
vestment and sad disappointment. Few
people know the real merits of a piano.
Indeed there Is not a professional per
son in the City of Portland who Is
competent to Judge the real value of a
piano, and who would even dare to go
in any piano store, select a piano and
tell you what It fs worth. This is why
the people can be so easily taken ad
vantage of, and why there are so many
cheap clap-trap pianos offered to the
public The few years we have been
In business in Portland It has been our
constant aim to handle only such pianos
that have an established reputation, and
sell them at a price consistent with
sound business principles and a fair
reasonable profit. W are not Imposing
on our many customers when we say
they will gladly bear us out in this
statement. Now that we are closing
out our entire stock, the purchasing
publla has an opportunity to secure
real fine, first-class, up-to-date pianos
and player pianos at prices never be
fore offered In this territory. While
this Is true in reference to new pianos,
we have some very exceptionally fine
bargains In high-grade, slightly - used
pianos, but which are In every respect
as good as new and cannot be dis
tinguished from new. Among this list

because the roots lack proper nutrition.
In such cases there is a microbe which
bores through the scalp along the line
of the hair into the root and when it
lodges there it begins to destroy the
fatty matter around the hair roots.
When the scalp and hair roots are
strong and healthy, it is Impossible for
these microbes to get in their deadly
work.
