GUNMAN'S RELEASE PROTESTED BY FOES SOCIETY GIRLS TO MAKE ' LEAP YEAR PROPOSALS Turning of Cigar Money Into Junior League Factory During Lent Will Be Suggested to Boys of Their Acquaintance. Hop Sing Tong Seeks to Have Own Counsel Prosecute Bow Leong Assassin. w PEACE EMISSARIES ON WAY Indemnity Tor Wounding of Inno cent Bjsianrtcr to Be I'irst Con sideration or Delegates Who Will Arrive Toniglit. The release of Lou Gong under $20, 0"1 bail is not relished by the Hop Sinsr Tong-. according to latest advices in Chinatown. The Hop Sinjrs protest, it is said, that they were not treated fairly when District Attorney Evans permitted the Bow Leong gunman to await his trial in freedom. Although the collateral which se cures the bail is valued at $70,000, the disgruntled Celestials contended that the assassin has no right even to tem porary liberty. The Hop Sings will ask the District Attorney to permit hpei-fal counsel to take the. initiative in the case. Chinatown old and new is quiet, queerly so. The quarter seemingly is content to await the arrival of peace emissaries from San Francisco before making any further demonstration, if any. It is reported that the delegates of the tong conference will arrive from Sian Francisco tonight. Two members each of three tongs will be represented the Bow Leongs, the Hop Sings and the Four Brothers' Society. The ques tion to be settled will be largely one of indemnity, with the white man's Justice coming in for only secondary consideration. Bow Leonjrs Beaten Once. Two years ago in a tong battle the Hop Sings bested the Bow Leongs. Last February the strife broke out anew. Louie Hing. a member of the Hop Sings, was taken to the hospital with a bullet wound in the leg. Bo fore he recovered he was arrested, charged wtih the murder of Llm Fong, of the rival tong, but later was dis missed. This last outbreak is said to be the retaliation of the Bow Leongs, who have won the second battle, according to Oriental logic. For Lou Gong, the Bow Leong pistol packer, there is little hope expressed. The Chinese view his possible fate with fatalistic nonchalance. He committed the unpardonable blunder of attacking Chung Wah, the Hop Sing who fell t bis volley, when a white witness was present. He must pay for the error. Also, in the case of Sue Quon Tee, the innocent bystander who stopped bullet with his leg. the Bow Leongs must pay a heavy indemnity. In the ethics of the tongs it is held most un fair to let blood without provocation or payment. Both wounded Chinese are said to be improving at the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Tonga Knaace Lawyer. The Bow Leongs are represetned by the legal firm of Malarkey, Seabrook Dibble. The Hop Sings have retained Attorney Dan E. Powers. Preparations were being made last night for a banquet at the rooms or the Bow Leong tong. Second and Oak streets. It is said- the spread of deli cacies will be in Jubilant honor of the tong victory. In Portland the Hop Sing tong, taken as a whole, has the largest member ship. With the societies which are affiliated, the Bow Leong is said strongly to outnumber the rival order.' The Bow Leong tong was organized in Portland about 15 years ago and spread to many cities. Well-to-do merchants and cannery contractors are prominent on its roster. After the trouble of a few years ago the Bow Leong. "because stronger tongs misused it." formed an alliance wtih the Bing Kongs. of San Francisco prnauring a Hyphenated order of com forting fighting efficiency. Another Chinese gunman was cap tured last night as he entered the Bow T.eong quarters by Lieutenant Harms. He gave the name of Ah Sam and was released on $250 bond furnished bv Ah . ....uiiiifn .Mies and -..Morris were ac-ain on duty at the ITTeventh-street theater last night, at the request of me inmese management. ITU Lent approaching and personal sacrifice of some sort being in order for a great many some of the Portland girls who are members of the Junior League are seri ously interested in a campaign in be half of the Junior League factory that will enlist the aid of the boys. Society invitation lists will be pressed into service. It is to be a leap year proposal a proposal that the swains who have lat by nnd lauded the work of the girls in their phil anthropic and seri ous endeavors now do something tan gible. It will be a sort of voluntary lunior League auxiliary. Tho Junior League factory in the Wor cester building.

Why not make it a tem porary hobby of the boys of the va rious sets, too? The question was asked the other day at a gathering of the Junior League workers In the fac tory rooms, and found the ready an swer: TJertainly! Why not? As a result Apron day, which It Is proposed to hold in a few weeks, was one of the ideas put under way. At first it was planned to have it April 29, but the date may be put off another week or so in order to give the girls an opportunity to map out their cam paign for orders and put the factory in shape for turning out the orders ex pected to accrue from it. The work among the boys was a second ideaA and the novelty of it has "taken hold." Among the young women willing to take up the campaign to enlist the aid Leap-Yrar Proposal. of the young men are Miss Antoinette Mears, Miss Rhoda Rumelin, Miss Helen I-add, Miss Cornelia Cook.

Mrs. Henry Wessinger the list runs on to great length, there being some 90 names on it. For instance, here is one of the sug gestions that probably will be carried out: Inasmuch as tne girls give up candy some of them at least in Lent, the boys will be asked to give, during the 40 days and nights of Lent, a sum pro portionate or, per haps equal to, the sum they would spend in cigar They will be asked even to include what goes into the "in nnttonholinar the sidious " cigarette. Bora. In this way Lady Nicotine would be responsible for, on an average, $5 from each man who comes within the pale of the campaign during the time set apart. For some it will mean much more. The Invitation lists used by the sev eral society girls who are members of the Junior League will be used. Mrs. A. D. Norris, presi dent of the Junior League, is authority for the suggestion that some of- our best little Beau Brummels will be enlisted in the relief work of the girls "in a way that will make their interest permanent" before the Lenten season is over. "The very nature of the work, onceWhat a Few Cigars they understand it. Will Do. will draw them to it," said Mrs. Norris, who, with Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett and Mrs. E. L.

These elements of success were ob served yesterday afternoon at the con clusion of the highly enjoyable concert of the Portland Symphony Orchestra: Dignified, first-class music. A finely selected and arranged pro gramme. A magnetic, hard-working director. An audience that comfortably filled all seats at the Heilig an audience that was not afraid to applaud. Yet, in the minds of the majority, tho concert will be known in the fu ture as the concert of the "Candle Symphony." That "candle" element awoke in the nresentation of Joseph Haydn's "Fare well" symphony. The latter lived agairil in the days when it first saw the light, in the year 1762, when Haydn became director of music to Prince Nicholas Esterhazy. The world knows that the Prince was a capricious master, and that he wearied his orchestra by mak ing its members play too long at one place so much so that Haydn com posed and ordered the orchestra to play a new composition, the now fa mous "Farewell" symphony. The Prince took the hint, and gave the necessary leave of absence. ,J Candles Co One by. One. Much of the Esterhazy musical, old world atmosphere lived again on the Heilig stage yesterday. The musicians' scores were seen by "flickering candle light." and ghostly shadows of long gone Austrian notables darkened the rear of the stage, where the big bass viols boomed forth. The orchestra was reduced to nearly a string representa tion. Drums were banished, and so were big brasses. The beautiful idea that is Haydn stole out and in 'from the FAMOUS REX BEACH FILM TO HtTlH.V TO HEILIG. : - ' i J h , V i Alt k" In delicate symphony, tempered by the "good-bye" element that Haydn pur posely placed in it. According to tra ditional use, first one musician and then another on the stage blew out the candle that lighted up -his music score, and softly, like a little mouse, walked away. Ultimately just three members of the orchestra were left on the stage Harold Bayly, the" conduo tor; A. Wunderwald, concertmaster, and G. Claud io. second violin player. The playing was bro'ught down to a whis per. and down came the curtain. The audience was interested, impressed and amused. The Humperdinck "Konigskinder Vorspell" is a finely melodious number of cheerful atmosphere, difficult to play, with many changes of tempo, and yet the orchestra made light of its de mands, and gave it a stirring presentation. Futurists Are Pleased. If you want to shine nowadays as music-sharp, you must either wear your hair long or applaud rapturously whenever any selection by Debussy is played. You must act as if you had a personal message, and that you are inspired to higher things by hearing that alleged divine music of futurist quality. That is what happened yes terday, when the Debussy Prelude "A L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune" was played. It is decidedly futurist, in which the melody is carefully hidden, and many persons in the audience grew rapturous over it. One member of the orchestra afterward told jne that this Debussy number was the best bit of music on the entire programme. I doubt it. The prelude was well played, and the fin work of the two harpists, Walton Elliott and his son, William Elliott, was noted. Conservation stands sentinel over the natural resources of our country, and forbids wanton destruction of forests, mines and animal life. Conservation multiplies the by-products of industry, and changes waste into profit. It is conservation that turns rags into miladi's dainty note paper. " It is conservation that gathers together worn-out garments, discarded sheets, carpets and similar objects which have served their useful purposes. In the General's big roofing mills, these are mascerated, saturated, sterilized and beaten into pulp, which "finally comes out of the rollers in one continuous sheet of clean, strong roofing felt. It is then thoroughly saturated with the General's own blend of soft asphalts, and coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft and prevents the drying-out process so destructive to the ordinary roofing.

Mrs. Margaret Pinkerton Fenton, 86, a native, of Kentucky but a resident of Oregon since 1865, and of Portland for 16 years, is critically ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Spencer, 626 Myrtle street, this city. Mrs. Fen ton has been in poor health for some time. Mrs. Fenton was born in Knox County,' Kentucky, April 19, 1830, the daughter of David and Mary Pinker- ton.

While 250 voice's were blended In the opening hymn at the Sunday school at the First Christian Church at Broadway and Olive street, shortly after 10 o'clock today. Dr. E. M. Car ney, superintendent of this division of the church work, mounted the plat form and calmly directed the gathering to leave the building. Though he gave no explanation, those present men, women and children obeyed promptly and filed out in quiet order. A fire had been discovered between two partitions in the Christian En deavor room, adjoining the auditorium. J. P. Cutting, the librarian, was dis tributing some books when he saw a small fire. After quietly notifying Dr. Carney, Mr. Cutting went outside ami turned in a fire alarm. The fire department soon reached the scene and quenched the flames. which evidently had started from an overheated pipe. After the firemen had completed their work the Sunday school services were continued. The I damage was small. j Funeral of Man Who Lost HI Life Saturday Night Will Be Held In Detroit, Mich. The body of. Henry Piette, drowned at Oswego while attempting to cross the Willamette River Saturday night, was recovered yesterday imrning. It lay in comparatively quiet water 100 feet from the west shore, at a depth of about 40 feet. Early in the morning a number of Oak Grove residents began dragging the river bottom with improvised grap pling hooks and barbed wire. Within two hours their efforts were successful. Chester Worthington and Roy Black erby, of Oak Grove, employing a barbed-wire drag, located the body and brought it to the surface. The body was taken to the east shore, where it was viewed by the Coroner before removal to undertaking parlors at Sellwood. The unfortunate young man's widow is ill from grief and shock. The body will be taken to Mr. Piette's former home at Detroit, Mich., for burial. A brother and other relatives live in that city. Charles Vosburg, of Oak Grove, who, with his little son, was- in the canoe with Mr. Piette, says that the latter was swimming strongly toward the west shore when last he saw him. Mr. Vosburg was busy saving his son. which he accomplished by placing the boy on the capsized canoe. When he looked again, Mr. Piette had gone under. lieve that the case was stolen by a drug fiend or a dipsomaniac. Since the Federal law practically drove illicit drug venders out of busi ness thefts of physicians' cases for morphine and cocaine have been com mon, but this is the first case in which dipsomania has been advanced as a motive for this class of theft.
