THE 3IORXIXG OREGO'IA", TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1915. CHICAGO WAKES UP WITHOUT HEADACHE Courts Free From Deluge of Drunk Cases Arter First Dry Sunday. ECONOMIC BENEFIT SHOWN Hmploj-ers of Labor on Large Scale Kind Monday Efficiency Ira i. ''proved Because of Abstain - injr From lebauch. CHICAGO, Oct. 11. (Special.) Chi cago, with a , few exceptions, awoke this morning and went to work with a clear bead. It was a new experience and due to the closing of saloons Sun day. There .were sporadic exceptions. Two of these were found dead, having consumed so much booze, just to prove that no Mayor or law could step on their rights, that it killed them. In the main Chicago rode the water wagon and does not regret it. The con rete results began to show today in many forms. Today the courts which usually have an average of 200 or more Sunday "drunk" cases had but 16 such cases. There were no Sunday suicides, us against the customary run of from two to four or more. There were no murders, as against the. average of 20 t month, to which Sunday ordinarily contributed heavily. No persons were billed by intoxicated "joyriders.' This is a distinct record, for Sunday usually develops four or five such cases. Economic Advantage Great. Perhaps the most striking point, however, from a purely economic view, was the fact that hundreds of men returned to work today fit and sober. Ordinarily large employers of labor 'ount on the return Monday of much of their force sore, aching and ugly, the result of a Saturday night and all-day Sunday debauch. Many of these men would be discharged, and those re tained would be practically worthless until Tuesday. Interviews with sev eral employers today brought out these tacts: The big packing plants emphasized the feature that their large forces of workmen returned today sober and in tatt. The Illinois Steel Company said Sunday passed without demoralization mong its employes every roan was at his post on time thi3 morning. The South Chicago Police Station re ported a remarkably small number of 'drunks,' which is unusual. Only Mx Places Found Open. Out of the 7152 saloons in the city only six were actually found open on Sunday, and Mayor Thompson will un doubtedly revoke their licenses, thus lisposing of them without any pro tracted court f igh t. Interviews with managers of roadhouses and the sa loons that ekirt the city show that they did not have the rush of busi ness they ha4 expected. It had been thought there would he a veritable hegira to Milwaukee, where elaborate preparations had been made to enter- lain thirsty Chieagoans, but dispatches from that city admit the Sunday' travel 1 was no heavier than ordinarily, and 1 those who came drank sparingly. 1 Cafe owners, particularly those who 1 advertise dancing, made bitter com- ! ment today on the -Sunday closing. They fay their ratron will not dance unless they drink. Admitting that the con tumption of food was heavier than usual, they say people showed no dis position to dance or to , linger after they had finished their meals. Th( professional dancers and other enter tainers employed by these "lobster pal Rfos" received scant attention from the dinprs, and the cabaret on Sunday ap parently has received a death blow. "Hangover la Gone. Generally speaking, the point that flands out most prominently as the re sult of the Sunday closing is the disap pearance of the "hangover." Ffficiency methods have been fighting the "hang tver" for years. I n occupations re ; ouiring skill it has been the ground for immediate dismissal. Today there was a great di munition in the great crowds of men who have been "fired for drunkenness, the usual Sunday ta rouse and who haunt the streets and alleys where afternoon papers are grabbed from the presses and the race for a new job begins. Liquor interests today talked of a monster demonstration to be given when Mayor Thompson returns from the Coast, which will lay particular em phasis on his alleged double-crossing of the saloon men and broken promises not to interfere with them. Mean while the temperance forces are equally m s busy laying plans to make Chicago dry every day in the week. the China Mail Steamship Company, China entered into competition with Japan for passenger and freight trade between this port and the Orient. The new company purchased today from the Atlantic Transport Company, of West Virginia, the steamship China, formerly operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in the Oriental service, and announced her first sail ing from this port on October 16. ' The China Mail Steamship Company has the financial backing of prominent Chinese in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and Tacoma, a3 well as that of the Chinese government and the principal Chinese merchants of Honsrkonrr and' Canton. It is expected ! that the line will be subsidized by the Chinese government. Among those prominent in the organization were Look Tin Eli, president of the Canton Bank of San Francisco, and Wee Wai, a San Francisco merchant. The capitalization of the company will be $10,000,000 fully paid up, and this will be increased as the require ments of the business demand, accord ing to the attorney who is arranging the legal details of the organization. The route of the China, which prob ably will be' followed by other vessels which soon will be added to the fleet, will include Honolulu, Nagasaki, Manila and Hongkong as ports of call. Re turning, the China will touch at Shanghai instead of Manila. Other vessels, is was said, would be added as soon as they could be purchased. COUNTY STILL FIGHTS REDUCTION ORDERED 1 TIMBER ASSESSMENTS RESISTED. Claekamnn Board of Equalization Rc fuses to Cot Appraisal for This Year and Will Appeal. OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 11. (Spe cial.) The county will not submit tamely to bis reductions in the assess ments of the Weyerhaeuser. Collins estate and other big timber holdings and every case will be fousht throuch the courts, declared District Attorney Hedses today. The Weyerhaeuser case, which was appealed from the Board of Equaliza tion ana lost and lost in the Circuit Court Saturday, will be appealed to the supreme Court, said Mr. Hedges, who believes that the county can prove its case before the higher tribunal. The court refused to reduce Assessor Jack's vaule of the timber, but cut the estimates 144,460,000 feet in five sec tions in questions. The sections were not changed by the court. Between $1100 and $1200 is involved in the an nual tax payments by the reductions ordered in the Circuit Court. The case is considered important in-as-much as it opens the way for other big timber interests to fisht for lower assessments. The county's figures are all based on the M. G. Nease cruise. The Board of Equalization, in face of the action of the Circuit Court Satur day, today refused to reduce the assess ment on the same property of the Wey erhaeuser Company for the 1915 tax roll. The case tried Saturday referred to the 1914 tax rolls, or the taxes col lected this year. Likewise, petitions from the Collins interests, together in volving as much property as the Wey erhaeuser case, were turned down by the Board of Equalization. Another appeal to the Circuit Court is expected. MURDER SUSPECT HELD ARREST MA DK OVER SHOOTI.NG OF WILLAM I.Vvi FARMER, Bad Tfrnu Reported Bctirem Victim and Accused Man. Who Can't Account for Whereabout. M'MJNNVlLiLE. Or.. Oct. 11. tSpe cial.) That William Booth, who was found dead in the road half a mile above the Willamina brick plant, was murdered is the finding of the Cor oner's jury that held an inquest at Willamina Saturday. The finding of the body Friday was kept quiet until today. William Branson, aged 23. is under arrest, suspected of the murder of the farmer. Booth had been seen two hours before the tragedy, and Branson, with whom Booth is said to have been on bad terms, is unable to account for his whereabouts between the time Booth was last tsecn alive and tne finding of his body. Branson was seen near the scene of the tragedy during the afternoon of Friday. He had borrowed a bicycle from c Willamina man shortly before the time of the murder. Residents along the road near which the body was found report having sen Mrs. Booth follow in the direction taken by her husband shortly before. Mrs. Booth had pleaded that she .was going to see her ill mother. ANTHRAX PATIENT BETTER rrtini for C'alllo I'svcl on Mr. Stack pole With Good Kffect. XKW YORK. Oct. 11.
