THE MOTJXIXG OKEGOXTAX, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1915. TWO SAY TRIAL IS MAN 'M'CORMICK FLEET OF CRACK COASTERS INCREASED THROUGH LAUNCHING OF NEW CARRIER AT ST. HELENS YESTERDAY. MURDERER Chinese Witnesses Lay Death of Lum Foon to Louie Hing ' When Called in Court. ORIENTALS CROWD ROOM Case Outcome of Last November, Were Fought Tongr AVar Here WTien Battles in Streets. X Reports of Threats Made. Chinese thronged the courtroom of Circuit Judge Davis and stood idly about the Courthouse lobby all day yes terday during: the trial of Louie Hing, alias Jung Ching, alleged Hop Sing tong highbinder, charged with the murder of Lum Foon during the tong war in March. 1913. Two Chinese wit nesses reluctantly testified yesterday and positively identified the man on trial as Louie Hing. and as the man who fired the fatal shots. Louie Hing, sought for by the author ities for nearly two years, is on trial on a charge ot second degree murder, this having been substituted for the first degree charge after the passage of the amendment abolishing capital punishment. Several Cities Involved in War. An imposing display of legal talent Is engaged in the trial. Jay Bowerman and Dan Powers are defending the al leged gunman, and the prosecution is conducted by Deputy District Attorney Collier, assisted by Deputies Hyan, Hammersly and Murphy. Lum Foon. proprietor of a merchan dise store and meat market at Second and ,Oak streets, directly across the street from police headquarters, was hot down in his store on March 16, 1!13. Simultaneously, another China man was murdered in boutn Romano, and at almost the same minute gun play and bloodshed occurred in the Chinese quarters in San Francisco, Stockton. Oakland and Seattle. In the investigation that followed it was reported that six Chinese, believed to be highbinders, had come to Port land only a few days before, apparently for the purpose of staging the Portland end of the war. Chinese Shot by Customers. Three Chinamen entered Lum Foon's tore and asked for a bottle of olives. As he turned to get them he was shot in the back. The gunmen fled. Lum Foon died immediately. An indictment was returned against Louie Hing and he was sought all over the Coast. Last November a war was staged in Portland between the Hop Sings and the Suey Sings. ' A desperate but al most bloodless revolver battle was fought at Fifth and Flanders street, in front of a casket factory. Twenty shots were fired but no injured man - could be found. The shooting resulted in a general cleanup of Chinatown. The day after the battle a Chinese giving the name of Jung Ching was discovered in St. Vincent's Hospital by detectives. He told them he had a pain in his stomach. Further examination disclosed a bullet wound in the calf of his leg. He was arrested. Witnesses Identify Man. Later, Suey Sing and Bow Leong tong members identified Jung Ching as Louie Hing. Seid Jan. partner of Lum Foon, th murdered man, was the first Chinaman to testify yesterday. He. with fou other Chinese witnesses, had declared their lives had been threatened if they cflvs testimony against the prisoner. Nevertheless. Seid Jan. a native of Portland, told about the killing yester tlav. He was in the store when it hap Dfiied. he said, and is positive that Louie Hing fired the shot that killed Lum Foon. Jew Foo, who was also in the store at the time, detailed the murder, cor- roboratine the story told by Seid Jan. Dr. C. G. Sabin. who performed the ntilonsv over Lum Foon. City Detec tives Vaughn and Hyde, and Deputy Coroner Leo Goetsch were other wit nesses called by the state yesterday The case of the prosecution had not been completed when court adjourned.

Another product of the plant of the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, the hull of the new McCormick steamer Wapama, was launched there yesterday. The Initial plunge of the big coaster was fully as successfully engineered as others have been there. Miss Mildred McBrlde, daughter of State Sena tor George M. McBride, of this city, christened the vessel, which is named after falls in California. J. H. Price, superintendent of the shipyard, super vised her construction, the owners being represented by H. F. McCormick, manager of the McCormick Lumber Company's St. Helens interests. In a general waythe Wapama is the same as the Multnomah and Celilo, though will boast equipment and furnishings patterned since they were built. On the next voyage of the Klamath she will tow the Wapama to San Francisco, to have her machinery installed and she goes into commission in April on the Portland-California route. ' - Louie Hine- is convicted. Trouble i openlv anticipated in Portland and San Francisco if the alleged highbinder is rnnvlrted. The Hod Sing tong men, it is said, do not look with favor on what thev consider the unnecessary inter Terence of the District Attorney into their own private disputes. The Chinese witnesses for the state are being guarded, and officers are watching closely for any signs of an outbreak. POLK POULTRY SHOW IS ON Kxhibit Hereafter Will Be. Held With ( County Fair.

J8& sIPjw :S Lightvessel Na 50. pioneer of her type off the Columbia River entrance, a floating aid to navigation that dur ing her service proved a welcome sight for countless mariners, while she de veloped caprices at times to afford in terest for press and public, is to be sold. From the Bureau of Lighthouses at Washington have come instructions to offer the ship to the highest bidder February 16. It is said that No. 60 is of great sta bility, for, though her hull is planked and the outer skin sheatned with cop per, her frames are of steel. She was built at the plant of the Union Iron Works. San Francisco, in 1891, and it is, said that at least some of the steel was turned out with similar material for the first cruiser Charleston, and in some other respects No. 50 benefited through that plant having a naval ves sel contract. For over four years No. 50 has spent her time lying at the Tongue Point buoy station and at different periods duties have been suggested for her, but in the end it was determined to permit her to remain on the inactive list until. with other useless property, she was ordered put under the hammer. Position Held Seven Years, It was in May, 1892, that No. 60, which boasts only sail power, the only steam aboard being for the operating of a fog whistle, took her station off the Columbia. There she weathered the attacks, calms and spells of the elements without particular incident until November 28, 1899, when a 74 mile gale howled along the coast, chas ing shipping to cover and generally turning things topsy-turvy and show ing such strength that No. 50 failed to hold her ground and, the moorings parting, her skipper managed to stand out to sea, making his way about 25 miles off shore. During the night she worked her way back to the coast again and the morning of November 29 appeared off the bar. The tug Wallula and the light house tender Alanzanita took turns get-' ting lines aboard, but in both cases the hawsers parted. Then the tug Escort grot a line aboard and managed to help No. 50 a short distance, when the line snapped, so she was beached near Mc ECenzie Head. Attempts were made to move the vessel, but it was not until April 23, 1901. that she was afloat in Baker's Bay, having been moved over land through a draw a distance of about 700 yards on a temporary rail way gear. She was in the cradle and started for the bay April 9 of that year and progress was slow. The lightveS' sel was towed to Portland for repairs. Vessel Goes Adrift Three Times. A second time she parted her moor ings October 6, 1905, and went on Pea cock Spit,where she remained a couple of weeks and then, with the aid of wire hawsers, managed to haul herself into deep water, though records at the Port land office show that she did not re gain her station until October 9, 1906. It was while the old tender Manzanita was again on her way to assist No. .50 from that predicament that she came together with the Port of Portland dredge Portland, near Westport light, and was sunk. The vessel was raised and sold by the Government to the Co lumbia Contract Company and is now the tug Daniel Kern, operated on the Columbia River towing barges of rock to the north jetty. No. 50 did not end her escapades, for she was again adrift in May, 1907, but was towed inside by one of the bar tug and immediately replaced on station. No intimation has been given as to who will bid for the ship or to what use she may be put, though it is pre sumed that she will be converted into barge. AXCHORAGE GROT7XD FILLED Head of Harbor Force Restricts Priv ileges to Five Ships. Five loaded grain ships being an chored in the harbor yesterday Harbor master Speier Issued an edict to the effect that so long as they remained there other carriers to finish must be shifted below Swan Island, giving as a reason that five lying In the stream made it difficult for steamers to man euver. Exporters have given carriers rapid dispatch and several snips have been loaded in from two to three days, yet there are cases In which masters have evinced no disposition to hurry to sea, waiting to ship sailors, disburse ac counts and attend to other details until several days after being finished. There is no dearth of tow boats to handle the fleet between Portland and Astoria, so Harbormaster Speier will not per mit more than, live to remain in the main harbor, though admitting that the situation is an excellent illustra tion of the demand for a mooring basin at the head of Swan Island, which has been recommended numerous times. SKIPPER LEAVES BACHELORS Son'gvand's Navigator Will Carry Passenger on Forthcoming Trip. When next Captain Fjeldal, of the Norwegian ship Songvand, heads for sea, which will be in a few days, there will be one more person signed on the articles than when the vessel ar rived, December 30. after an unusuallv long passage from Rockhampton, for there will be Mrs. Fjeldal. Friends of the skipper along the beach have been Quizzing him during the past few days about temporarily lorsaKing commercial seas for a matrl moniai voyage. The wedding grows out or an attachment formed a few years ago, when Captain Fjeldal was an officer on a trans-Atlantic liner and his bride a passenger. When he was later assigned a ship, correspond ence was continued and the prospective Mrs. Fjeldal bad decided to select Port land as her residence, but the coming of the Songvand altered her plans and she will follow the seas, at least for a time, with her husband and his for tunes.

One of the Port of Bandon Com missioners, who resides in Coqullle, has expressed himself as favorable to a project that will provide and maintain a 20-foot channel the entire distance between Coquille and Bandon. There are two sawmills at Coquille, which, if operating, are capable of an output that would employ a schooner carrying be tween 300,000 and 400,000 feet of lum ber continuously, making round trips to San Francisco averaging from eight to 10 days. If such a traffic arrangement should be established Coquille could re ceive San Francisco freight without transhipment. At the mouth of the river, however, it is important that bar and channel conditions be maintained which will accommodate whatever shipping enters and departs and this necessity will re ceive first attention.

CXTRREXTS TO BE STUDIED Government Will Watch Conditions From Coast Lightressels. Under the observation of officials of the Coast and Geodetic Survey Service, apparatus is to be installed on light- vessels of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District to obtain data governing the speed, direction and other characteris tics of currents along the Oregon and Washington coasts. Captain Gilbert T. Rude, of that service, reached Astoria from Puget Sound last night and leaves on the tender Manzanita this morning ror lightvessel No. 88, which is tem porarily off the river while No. 67 Is undergoing an overhauling here. The apparatus is to be used on that ship for a short time, it being esti mated that needed information can be obtained without delay. Then a set is to be placed on the Umatilla Reef light vessed and another on that marking Swiftsure Bank. Thev being closer to gether, it is aimed to obtain readings on each at the same time. The Coast and Geodetic Survey force is almost constantly engaged on work along the Coast and the current observations are being counted on as valuable. HALL IX FOR LUMBER CARGO Bankoku Maru Listed to Load Ore gon Fir for Cninese 3Iarket. Lumber for South Africa, measuring close to 1,500,000 feet, is to be loaded aboard the schooner H. K. Hall, which reached the river yesterday from Santa Rosalia under charter to Heatley & Co. The schooner was taken in tow by the tug Tatoosh off the river yester day morning. The Japanese steamer Bankoku has been added to the en route list of ves sels engaged to work lumber for the Far East and is to load about 4,000,000 feet here in March for China. The Ken kon Maru is to load in February for Shanghai and the Azumusan Maru comes in March for the same purpose. The placing of orders lor 10,000,000 feet of lumber with the Westport Lum ber Company during the past few days, for delivery in the United Kingdom, coupled with business secured for Ori ental, South American and South Af rican delivery, is taken to indicate that lumber exportation will soon have regained its oldtime form. ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) Since the dredge Clatsop has been dig ging in the Tongue Point channel she has been dumping tne sana aDove me point and at a place wnere mucn oi it is said to be carried by the tide and current back toward the channel again. Evidence of this is declared to be shown by the experience of the German bark Kurt, which has been lying at anchor for several weeks a short dis tance above the point. When the Kurt was shifted to her present anchorage there was 30 feet of water there at low tide, but during the past week it has shoaled eight feet, so that at low water the bark is aground.

In sick ness, especially any germ disease. The kidneys struggle to filter such poisons from the blood. Many a bad case of kidney troume heeina after recovery from some lnfec tious disease, and even a cold often has the same bad result. Common signs of kidney weakness are headaches, oacaacne, rneumauc pains, nervousness, loss of weight and urinary troubles. During convalesence, in fact, when ever there are signs of kidney trouble, use Doan's Kidney Pills, and help the medicine by avoiding meat eating, over exertion of any kind and the use or liauor. Drink milk or water. Doan s Kidney Pills are certainly re liable for sick kidneys. They have been used for years all over th civilized world, are uniformly successful and are recommended by thousands. Portland Proof: Fred Muralt, prop.
