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.

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. ' -

8. 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.

master Speier Issued an edict to the
effect that so long as they remained

a reason that five lying In the stream

there are cases In which masters have

Son'gvand's Navigator Will Carry

When next Captain Fjeldal, of the

will be one more person signed on

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

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

BAXDOX PROJECT EXTENSIVE
Channel of 20 Feet From CoqulIIe
to Sea Is Suggested.
MARSHFIELD, Or, Jan. 20. (Spe
cial.) 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.

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

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

Time
to Take Care
Poisons are created all the time in a
healthy body; faster, of course. 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.

Haight Ave., Portland, says: "All I

years ago, still holds good. I can add
to that statement then given that the
cure they brought me has been lasting.
have had no sign of kidney trouble
since."
