ASTOR ESTATE IN LIS Jlopresentative Levy Shown I-essor to Gambling Resort, but He Says He Has Sold Property. Brother, However, Is Owner. NEW YORK. Aug. IS. Police Com missioned ' Waldo save last night a list of places raided by the police as gambling resorts during the last year and the names of owners of the prop erty on which the resorts were con ducted. Among the names mentioned are those of many, prominent In the financial, religious and social life of the city. The Commissioner turnedt the list over to the District Attorney, who will use it as a basis of the proposed John Toe proceedings before Justice Goff next month, by which is is expected to expose police corruption. .Nearly 4IO Plarra Muted. Nearly 400 places art mentioned in the gambling list. The summoning of many owners as witnesses at the John Ioe proceedings is understood to be part of the plan of the District At torney to defermine the responslbilixy f the owners in allowing their prop erty to be rented for gambling Puf' poses, which is a misdemeanor. Among the names of the owners Is that of Sailors' Snug Harbor, wealthy charitable Institution on Ftaten Island; the estate of Lorillard who was a millionaire tobacco manu facturer, and J. Edgar Leaycraft and Kdgar C Leaycraft. both prominent in the Methodist Church and missionary work. Few ConTlrlona Follow Raids. A notable feature of the list is the comparatively small number of con victions which followed the arrests made in the raids, a large majority ft the prisoners having been dis charged either by the court or the grand Jury. , In view of the testimony brought out by the grand Jury, that the police often weaken their evidence against gamblers who had "come across" when they had been raid. It is e,.v -ted the District Attorney will investigate the reason for the few convictions.- The William Astor estate appears in Commissioner Waldo's list as the owner of two alleged gambling houses in West Forty-third street, raided in August and September of last year. Representative Levy la I.lMt. The name of Representative Jeffer son X. Levy, of New York, Is recorded as" the owner of a gambling resort known as the New Kngland Dramatic and Pleasure Club, four times raided. Levy, in a statement last night, said as soon as he received notice of the rapture of his tenants he immediately began dispossession -proceedings, but was unable to get rid of them. "The matter became such an annoy ance to me that in April last I sold the property for less than Jts value to Fehix Isman, who Immediately con veyed it to William C. Funk, of Phila delphia," Levy said. . ' Other owners named are L. Napoleon Levy, a brother of Representative Levy: the Clarence Tell estate, the I'nlted States Trust Company, a dozen prominent real estate concerns and a score of women. Members of the extraordinary grand jury summoned to Inquire into police blackmail will be investigated as to their real estate holdings by District Attorney Whitman, who has discovered thnv one of the grand jury panel of 50 business men is part owner of a hotel used for disorderly purposes. Kx-Coavlrt Ofltera to Testify. It was said on good authority that the . District Attorney came Into posses sion of additional evidence yesterday through a letter from John D. Hallen, a disbarred lawyer,""who was recently sentenced to Sing Sing forforgery. Hallen is alleged to have overheard a conversation between Lieutenant Beck er and Policeman White, a former member of Becker's strongarm squad, who has been Indicted for perjury in connection with the arrest of "Big Jack" Zelig. Hallen writes that he heard White say to Becker: "Gee, they've got us, chief." "Shut ycur big trap; in six months they will be giving us medals for what we did." Becker is alleged to have re plied. Beeker'a Trial Delayed. John F. Mclntyre. counsel for Becker, obtained a delay yesterday in the mur der case until September 3 by serving a writ staying the proceedings. The writ was served on Assistant District At torney Rubin and Judge Mulqueen of the court of general sessions, before whom Becker was to have been ar raigned yesterday for pleading.

Rides on Merry-Go-Round, Fun. in Shooting Gallery and 'Dance in Public Hall Are Enjoyed. NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug 28. (Spe cial.) Whirling about In merry-go rounds and thrusting at coveted . brass ring prises, bowling over "Aunt Sally" or shooting at bobbing balls in the rifle range, more than 300 members of the Summer colony efloyed several hours of amusement last - night as guests of Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont at Newport's public beach. After 10 o'clock the public was excluded from Newport's miniature Coney Island. From that hour until they became tired Mrs. Belmont's guests had full possession and enjoyed a night as in formal as it was novel. Jlrsv Belmont's reasons for giving the" free evening at Easton's Beach were three-fold, aside from her desire to pay social obligations. Those rea sons were a protest against extrava gant entertaining, an intention to turn over to a public institution the money expended in social diversion and an gument against hiring men waiters The evening at the public beach was given by Mrs. Belmont as a compli ment to Miss Inez Milholland. her sis ter, an advocate of equal suffrage, who has been a guest at Marble House for several weeks. There was a dinner Mrs. Belmont's villa before the later assembly. There were 24 guests. No effort was made to mar the effect of typical public seashore resort by elaborate decorations. In the pavilion where the guests danced a few palms and potted plants had been placed and the 70 supper tables were aecoratea with vases of flowers.

ROBERT LUTKE BURIED Fraternity Funeral of Club and Woman Is Held. No Preference Right to Be Gained Except by Congressional -Action, ; Hereafter to Be Taken. OREGONIAN NEWS. BUREAU, Wash- ngton, Aug. 28. One of the most im portant rulings affecting the public domain of the West ever rendered by the Interior Department was. handed down today by First Assistant Secre tary Adams, in a proceeding before the land department involving more than dO.000 acres, and embraced in what Is known as the Hyde-Benson land frauds. The case under consideration had been submitted as a test of all the contest proceedings against the forest lieu sections involved in these frauds, and under the ruling just made the contestants will be permitted to join hands with the Government in its ef forts to cancel the bogus selections, but will not gain any preference right thereby 'xcept by subsequent Con gressional '.action. The proceeding today was in the na ture of a petition for the exercise of supervisory power filed by Horace Stevens, of Portland, Or., who appeared as attorney for James R, Christ, presi dent of the United Engineering Works, of San Francisco, who was seeking to contest one of the fraudulent sections. Portland Suffragists Meet. The regular monthly meeting of the Portland Equal Suffrage League took place yesterday afternoon at head uaqrters in the Selling-Hirsch build ing, under the presidency of Mrs. Solo mon Hirsch. After the usual reports of committees had been. read, three in teresting addresses were delivered by women who have been prominent in connection with suffrage work in Ore gon during the present campaign. Miss Anita Whitney, of California, sketched the probable cost of the campaign from now on until the election; Mrs. F. W. Cotterill, of Seattle, told of her work in Astoria and neighboring towns and hamlets," nd Mrs. Clara B. Colby also told of her work, among the church people especially. BT M. M. MATTISON. SEATTLE, Aug. 28. (Special.) Two more days' time will be given canal- dates to file on the Progressive party ticket, and then the state organization will send out telegraphic notices to county committees of the state ana Congressional filings. Ballots must be Drinted and distributed to various pre cinct officials in time for the voluntary nrlmarles to be held September 7. For the regular primaries 10 u ueiu September 10 many of the County Auai tors already have printed tneir Dai lots. In some counties it requires i week's time to distribute election sup plies, and in all of them preparations for the primaries have been unaer way for several weeks. Manager Are Confident. Relying solely on the popularity of the movement the state managers or the Progressive party assert they will be able to complete their organization. even in counties where no steps toward organization have yet been taken, get out ballots and hold a representative primary on September 7. They will try to do so. and the only time wnen n can be determined whether or not the pri maries have been a success is after the results have become known. The call for the new party state con vention assumes that an advisory pri marv will control nominations, but a looDhole Is left by which county dele gations from districts where no pri maries are held are to nave tneir status determined by the state convention. It is reasonably certain that if the pri mary is not representative this loop hole will furniah the excuse for ignore ing primary results. Serious Contest Looms. There is a fair prospect that the Bull Moose will have a serious contest for Representative at Large, though none of the aspirants for that nomination has started on an aggressive campaign There Is a fight for nomination in the First, Second and. Third districts, but onlv in the First has the contest reached a state of bitterness that threatens a serious breach In the ranks of the new party men. Dan Landon, State - Senator and at torney. Is a candidate in the First Dis trict, 'and would have been a candi date at the Republican primaries but for the new party movement. Landon is a rough and ready character with no particular oratorical ability and lacks stage appearance. He is im mensely popular among the "rough necks" or common people, as Landon terms them, and has no desire for pop ularity or support from professional politicians or the "htghbrows," as ne has termed one faction of the Bull Moose.. Walker Will Oppose. These well-known Landon character istics stirred up trouble long ago, and his disinclination to cultivate poise and carefulness of speech has made a fac tion in the new party so peevisn tnat the assertion Is made openly that Lan don's election would discredit the Bull Moose of the NorthwestSo they picked on George H. Walker, who has pulchri tude in plenty. Also he has polish, for he has been president of the Rainier Club and he fairly oozes culture. He is typical of the class that Dan Landon terms "high brow progressives." When one faction declares that the other is composed of "high brows, aris- tocratlc dreamers and skimmed milk politicians," and the other class retorts just as intelligently . that the first sec tion consists of 'rough necks, tnere does not seem to be any other alterna tive than to fight it out. It was predicted today at Bull Moose headquarters that the Landon-Walker feud had become so bitter that there is little likelihood that the. defeated fac tion will support the winner. As Lan don seems to be the more popular, this prediction straight from party head quarters forecasts a bolt by the Walker faction. -Walker himself wants to go to the United States Senate, and re garded the Congressional tryout as a warming-up race, so he is likely to abide by the result of the primaries. Some of his followers, though, are so bitter that it seems likely that the Bull Moose headquarters has a correct line on the situation when they pre dict a split. Warburton'a Delay Bothers. In the Second District Albert E. Joab, of Taeoma, is red-headed and as fiery- tempered as the hair would Indicate, There is plenty of opportunity for a hard fight for the Bull Moose nomina tion of Representative Stanton Warbur- ton. who elects to run, on that ticket. tries to start trouble. But Warburton rarely loses his temper, and is not apt to Inject any disagreeable notions. Warburton's delayed withdrawal from the Republican ticket has caused serious complications in many of the counties of the Second District. Some of the. Auditors will remove his name by reprinting ballots, crossing put.the name or because they held up the printing until the last moment, and can do so. This will result in some coun ties voting a single choice and others where Warburton's name appears In voting'for both first and second choice Congressional candidates. However, in sofar as the Republican situation is concerned, it is likely true that Albert Johnson, of Hoquiam, will receive the nomination, while Warburton is prac tlcally assured of the Bull Moose se lection. N. , W. Durham, of Spokane, should not have any trouble in winning the Bull Moose nomination in the Third District, and it is unlikely that the fight will get serious. Hodge Jobbed Is Belief. The only serious contest left on the state ticket will be that for the Guber natorial nomination. There seems to be a general feeling that "Sheriff Bob' Hodge, of Seattle, was jobbed when he was induced to withdraw his filing on the regular .Republican ticket and run as a Bull Moose candidate. The impression has prevailed ever since the third party movement was launched that the Gubernatorial nomi nation was reserved for W. H. Paul hamus, of Sumner. In fact, it would have been impossible during the ear lier days of the movement to have kept the party alive .without using Paulhamus' name. While the Gubernatorial fight raged within ' the Republican, party Hodge had a good chance to win on second choice votes. The chance was so good that all the other candidates feared him. Neither in the Republican nor Bull Moose primaries is Otto A. Case feared, while John C Lawrence seem to be steadily losing ground. Law rence, - however, has the loyal support of Grange and labor ' leaders, and h unquestionably will run strong in East ern Washington, but atmospheric con ditions are not good for him. WTLSOJT IS OCT OF POLITICS Seattle Politician and Publisher An nounces Trip Abroad. SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 28. (Spe cial.) John L. Wilson, ex-United States Senator and for many years known as the political leader of the state by his friends, is out of politics. At the end of this month, Mr. Wilson announced today, he plans to leave for a trip abroad. While the Seattle poll tlclan was chary in regard to speaking of his future plans, he has told close friends that for the next three years he plans to be out of the country most of the time. He has also told his friends that he seeks no further poll tlcal preferment and Intends to take no further active part in partisan poll tics. "I plan to leave Seattle the end of this month. My trip will take me abroad and I will be away much of the time." said Mr. Wilson today. It is stated on good authority tha the Seattle politician and publisher has so arranged his affairs that he will have a fixed monthly income and that all profit in excess of this amount are to go to certain of his employes. Many of the older men in his newspaper are to be taken , into the company, ac cording to report. Mr. Wilson took the trip to Spokane, it Is said, merely to bid farewell to his old-time personal and political friends here. MORTGAGE MEN BANQUET Monthly Dinner- of Chapln-Herlow Company Interesting Occasion.

Price for Popular - Star Who Has Appeared at Heilig This Summer. The funeral of Mrs. Robert Lutke. a prominent club and fraternity woman of Portland, was conducted yesterday at the residence, J01 North Twenty Xourth street. The services at the home OU can't hunt ducks with a brass band." is the character istic way in which E. D. Price, manager for Cathrine Counties, an swered when asked concerning tne theatrical plans of that charming actress. "Miss Countiss has two excel lent offers from New York producing firms. . One of the roles is distinctly comedy and the other is a smart so ciety woman in a modern problem play. Both of these parts have been offered her, but she prefers to be in nersonal communication with the pro ducers before she accepts either. We are an entire stretch of continent away from New Tork. and Miss countiss is not buying porkers in pokes. In other words, she will not accept any con tracts by telegraph, but will go im mediately to New York to read over the roles and see if she cares to appear in either of them. In the meantime 1 will say tnat Miss CountisS is having a play writ ten for her that promises to De tne lnnir-looked-for . American drama. I have nothing to give out about it save that Miss Countiss will produce it about the first of January. The big role she will have is a heavy emo tional one. For several seasons Miss Countiss has played roles created by other stars; now she is to create a role herself. The other ventures have been big financial successes, but It is an artistic satisfaction to make and mold a new role. "Our immediate plans will carry us into New Tork by the" 17th of Septem ber. We leave Portland next Tuesday morning and go directly to Denver to visit for a day or two. with Miss Coun tiss' sister, Mrs. Dixie Crooks. ' Then we stop in Detroit for a few days and on to New York, where Miss Countiss will look over the propositions male to her by, producing managers, and I will busy myself with plans for the re suming for a fourth year the business management of Robert HlIHard, who has put aside his famous money maker, 'A Fool There Was," after It has yielded a profit of a quarter of a million dollars in a little over three years. Mr. Hilliard is to produce at Atlantic City on October 17 'The Argyle Case," by Harriet Ford and Harvey J. O'Brien, known as the Detective Burns play, because the famous criminal in vestigator suggested the plot and worked it out to logical conclusions by the latest approved detective meth ods. After presentation in Philadel phia, following Atlantic City, Mr. Hil liard's new play will be taken into New Tork for a run at one of the leading Broadway houses and will not be seen on this Coast this season." UDELL AIMS AT ELECTORS San Francisco Attorney Attacks Man ner of Their Choice. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. Alva Udell, who is circulating a petition for the recall of Governor Johnson, applied to the Superior Court today for an in junction restraining Frank C. Jordan, Secretary of State, from issuing- certi ficates of nomination to the electors chosen in Sacramento on September 24 by the candidates successful at the pri mary elections. Udell makes affidavit that the Sac ramento convention would violate the constitutional rights of every voter to an equal voice in the Government. His attack Is directed against the constitutionality of the" state primary law, which gives seats in the conven tion nominating electors to holdover Senators. For that reason, he contends, the voters of those districts in which there are holdover Senators are ex cluded from voting in the primary election on September 3 and so are without representation.
