the government to associate. Itself with
President Wilson's refusal to treat with
the German people po lonpr as they
wore submissive to the military caste
and advocating an Institution or so

very effort to preserve collaboration
with, the Socialist.
I failed, and I regret it," the Pre

Af tr pa ylnc a tribute to Albert

the absence of Socialist Ministers would
mako no chance in his policy. He de

certain foreign airents, but added that

weakened the country's morale. This
part of the Premier's speech was in

were his declarations that the censor

1-oped to remain in agreement with the
press by appealing1 to the newspapers
to maintain their own discipline.
The Chamber applauded the Pre

as principles to which J-Vance fully

LITTLE STORIES OF REAL LIFE
BOB UP BEFORE JUDGE ROSSMAN
Anna Turner Kneels Alternately at Altars of Hymen and Bacchus Retail
Price of Whisky Now $6 a Quart.
A UNA. TURNER, bo run the ma-,
trimonial and police records,
kneels alternately at the altar of
Hymen and the altar of Bacchus. On
five separate occasions she has put
to sea in the frail bark Matrimony,
but on each occasion she has run afoul
the reef of "Firewater."
Anna, with a sob and a headache,
appeared yesterday before Municipal
Judge Rossman and "confessed" that
she had imbibed too freely of hard
cider and Jamaica ginger.
"My husband had me "pinched' be
cause he was tired of supporting: me."
she said. "I guess he's tryln' to beat
the high cost of llvlngr."
"How would you like to stay here
In jail with the matron for a while?"
asked the court.
"Believe me. Judge, I'd rather stay
here than go home to my husband."
"Well, how long would you like to
remain as a guest of the city?"
"That's up to you Judge, but I don't
want to impose on the city."
So Anna, a bride of four months, was
told she might go "upstairs" for a
short stay. She has been there so often
that she admitted that it felt like
"comin' home,"
Jlmmie Ryan had stayed "on the
wagon" for a long time, but Wednes
day night he Just couldn't resist the
temptation to "hit 'cr up." That he
more than succeeded was indicated yes
terday morning whn he appeared in
Municipal Court with a badly battered
eye and a whisky bottle containing
"three fingers'" of pure alcohol, or at
least as pure as can be bought through
the bootlegging route.
Jimmie admitted he had staged a
remarkable "high lonesome" 'by drink
ing the alcohol straight, so be was told
to remain in Jail for a couple of days
until the bruised eye and parched
throat- felt better.
It would stand Portland bootleggers
in good stead to take up the study of
memory cultivation. Almost Invariably
a man charged with bootlegging can
remember nothing as to where he se
cured the booze or what he intended
doing with it.
J. A White's poor memory cost him
a fine of $250 yesterday, lie had been
arrested by Patrolmen KUiot and O'Hal
loran with 10S quart bottles of whisky
In his "for hire" automobile. In court
yesterday. White failed to remember
where he had secured the booze, except
that two men had commissioned him to
take it from a river dock to Third
and Glisan streets. He was arrested
as he was unloading his liquid cargo.
"Your memory is very poor." ad
vised'Judge Rossman. "I will fine you
$250 this time and see if it will not
help you to remember that we will not
tolerate any form of bootlegging in
this city."
It is a well established fact among
those "in the know" that the prevail
ing market price for bootlegging
whisky is a quart. But it remained
for Mike Hyde, a beardless, youth, to
give forth the information that "soft
drink" establishments serve it over the
bar at 2b cents a drink.
Mike answered. "present, -your
honor.", in Municipal Court; yesterday,
charge with possessing lottery tickets
aid also charged with disorderly con
duct. He pleaded guilty but explained
that he had been drinking.
At the request of Judge Rossman,
Mike guided Captain Circle to the
"soft drink" establishment of Irvie
Hutchinson at Sixth and Everett
streets, to show where he had drunk
his whisky while leaning up.againft
the bar.- A -complaint was sworn out
against Hutchinson, who has been in
court before on the came charge and

Court on a charge of burglary.
Mike will appear in court this morn
ing to receive his sentence.
E. Nelson was speeding his motor
cycle along Front street 38 miles an
hour Wednesday afternoon when
Motorcycle Officer Bales tagged him.
Beginning yesterday and extending
during the coming six weeks. Nelson
will be compelled to walk or ride on
the plebeian streetcars. After Judge
Rossman had heard the testimony he
decreed that the young man must re
linquish his motorcycle to the city-for
six weeks and pay a fine of $5. He
was cautioned against borrowiug any
motorcycle during that time.
That Motorcycle Officer Frank Errln
had a busy day Wednesday was In
dicated by the appearance of eight
speeders yesterday who paid fines ag
gregating 96. as follows: K. H.
Kangas, $10: George Mullin, J12; W. C.
Pritchard. I7; J. J. Manning, 10;
Stanley Thompson, $10: Chris Stertz,
$10: G. K. llowltt, $10; B. K. Cleve
land. $17.
Otto Nyberg answered present to the
"sick" call yesterday on two separate
counts. The fact that the "dry
squad" had raided his place at 1434
Kast Kverett street and confiscated
more than 100 quarts of booze gave
him that sick feeling.
But Otto's deepest regret lay In the
fact that the little "war garden," which
he had nurtured during the dry spell
had been badly damaged in the search.
It may have been that the dry weather
caused him to "plant'' a ten-gallon
barrel of whiskey In the war garden,
but at any rate the booze was dis
covered there, gurgling quietly between
the hills of spuds and corn and onions.
Otto will have a Jury tria.V Septem
ber 25.
CAR MEN ARE CONFIDENT
EIGHT HOURS AXD WAGE LIFT
COt'MED CEHTAIXTV.
Company Declare That All Bancs on
Decision on the Six-Cent
Fare Proposal,
Streetcar employes of Portland yes
terday expressed confidence that their
request for an eigrht-hour day and a
wage advance will be granted.
President Robert Walter, of the local
union, declined to discuss the matter
yesterday, but at the last meeting of
tne men on September J 1 he expressed
the belief that the new 4a scale
would fro into effect September 2S.
I stiil have the fullest confidence
In that statement," he said yesterday,
"and beyond that 1 have notliingr to
saV"
As yet there is no suggestion from
the streetcar men that a rupture with
the company la likely. It is denied
that any ultimatum has been presented
to the company. The next meeting of
the carmen is scheduled for next Tues
day night, and until the men meet
no action can be takn.
At the offices of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company it was
stated that action on the request of
the men hinge. upon the decision of
the Public Service Commission as to
the requested advance of carfares from
5 to 6 cents on the Portland city lines.
The company expects this decision, by
October 1.

POPE AWAITS REPLY
Germany's Note Believed De
layed by Emperor.
BELGIUM NOT DISCUSSED
Impression In Berlin Is Teutons
Consider Xalion Too Valuable a
Pawn to Be Jeopardized by
Any Ill-Timed Move.
HOME, Sept. 15. (Delayed.) Cardi
nal Gasparri, the papal secretary of
state, tonight declared to the Asso
ciated Press that the reply of the cen
tral powers to Pope Benedict's peace
proposals, had not yet been received
at the Vatican.
Cardinal Oasparrl believes that the
reply of the central powers was held
up when Kmperor "William went to
Riga and that It is not likely that It
will reach the Vatican until next week.
BERLIN, Sept. 19, via London, Sept.
0. While the text of the Uerman re
ply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals
will not be announced before Saturday,
the Berlin press and parliamentary
circles concur in the prediction that
the message will not contain specific
declarations concerning Belgium.
The impression prevailing in well-
informed quarters is that the note
will leave the subject of Belgium in
abeyance.
The Oerman attitude on this point
might be tersely expressed this way:
"Germany considers Belgium too
valuable a pawn to be exposed to
jeopardy through an ill-timed or hasty
move."
On the subject of International arbi
tration, the Oerman note, it is believed,
will express approval of the sugges
tion. LONDON', Sept. 20. The attempt by
the Oerman press and officials to cre
ate the atmosphere for another peace
maneuver again is given prominence
in the morning papers, which are of
the unanimous opinion that there can
be no peace until Prussian militarism
is crushed. The Daily Mail, under the
caption "The ilun Peace Plot," de
clares: "The true friends of peace are the
allied armies of the governments which
are striving to remove the cause of all
this misery, unrest and bloodshed by
destroying Germany's military autoc
racy." The Daily Mail rebukes the pacifists,
saying:
"President "Wilson has shown how
these people can be handled. He is
the most scrupulous of democrats, but
he knows that liberty at such moments
as this has the most to fear from Its
pretended friends."
The Times quotes the Atlantic City
speech of Secretary Lane and adds
that the war will end, as Secretary
Lane, says, "when Germany knows she
must give hostages" for good behavior
in the future.
The Express asserts: "No peace, on
whatever terms, can have any value
unless those terms insure the impossi
bility of another German attempt to
wreck the world."
AMSTERDAM. Sept. 20. The Berliner
Tageblalt today, discussing the reply
of the central powers to the peace pro
posals of Pope Benedict, nays that the
German government, irrespective of the
exchange of notes, will soon have an
opportunity of making known its stand
point regarding peace.

WILBUR MAY APPEAL AGAIN
Dry Lav May Be Attacked in Fed
eral Supreme Court.
OREGON CITT, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) The famous Wilbur case, in
which Julius Wilbur, former proprietor
of the Friars' Club at Milwaukie, was
tried and convicted in the Circuit Court
of selling liquor, and the conviction
was sustained a few weeks ago in the
Supreme Court, may still have another
chapter. An appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States is contem
plated. Following the statute, the local Dis
trict Attorney's office omitted the name
of the purchaser of liquor, and ex
Senator Fulton's contention was that
this was in violation of the constitu
tional provision that every accused
person must be apprised of the nature
of his crime.
YOUNG BREWER IS FINED

Interference of Police.
OREGON CITT. Or., Sept. 20. (Spe

from the Canby country, headed for the
big fair-week dance at Canby Wednes
day night to liven things up a. bit with
a suitcase full of homemade beer. He
was arrested and before Justice of the
Peace Sievers today pleaded guilty to a
charge of transporting liquor and was
fined ?20 and costs.
On the boy's promise forthwith to
abandon the brewing business, no other
charge was placed against him.

DEFENSE IV TOXG MURDER TRIAL
AROUSES DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Suppression of Evidence Alleged In
Case and Attempt AVI 11 Be Made
to Show Trouble Expected.
Charges that the District Attorney's
office had suppressed evidence in the
prosecution cC the case marked the
opening of the defense in the trial of
Yee link, charged with second degree
murder for shooting to death Chin
Hong, in Circuit Judge Tucker's de
partment of the Circuit Court yester
dn y. The accusation was made by
Itobert F. Maguire, of counsel for the
defense, and it was made in the course
of the examination of Detective Thomas
Swennes, the first witness called.
Detective Swennes had testified that
when he reached the body of Jan Joe,
companion of Chin Hong and the first
Chinaman killed in the affray at Sixth
and Flanders .trpets. he found a 38
caliber Smith & Wesson revolver with
all six chambers empty, firmly clenched
in the right hand of the dead man.
After producing and identifying the
revolver taken from Jan Joe's body,
Swennes, at request of counsel, handed
Mr. Maguire a receipt he had received
from the District Attorney's office for
revolvers taken from the fighting gun
men and turned over by him to Deputy
District Attorney Uammersly.
This receipt showed that a descrip
tion of the gun. produced yesterday by
Swennes was originally written into
the receipt and afterwards crossed off
when the firearm was returned to the
detective.

ceipt in evidence and it was then that
Mr. Alaguire charged the prosecution
with suppressing evidence that should
have been placed before the jury in the
examination of Swennes as a witness
for the state. It is the contention of
the defense that the evidence of fiwrn
nes, which it promised to corroborate,
shows that at least one of the mem
bers of Chin Hong's party on the day
of the shooting was armed, was look
ing for trouble and had emptied every
chamber of his revolver before being
fatally shot himself.
The receipt was admitted by the
court.
