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

13 to 20 needy
women are kept at work daily, is the
particular charity hobby of the Junior

asked the other day at a gathering of
the Junior League workers In the fac

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,

be put off another
week or so in order

an opportunity to

Nicotine would be
responsible for, on an average, $5 from
each man who comes within the pale
of the campaign during the time set

more.

BV JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
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.

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.

Funeral of Man Who Lost HI Life

at Oswego while attempting to cross

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.

boy on the capsized canoe. When he
