A meeting of the Portland Railroad Barred doors are to be an institution of the past in Chinatown. Following an inspection Saturday night by Chief of Police Johnson, Fire Marshal Gren fell and Captain Zellner. of the fire department, together with Lieutenant Thatcher, Sergeant Van Overn and William Bryon, of the Department of Justice, the proprietors of the alleged Chinese gambling resorts in Chinatown were ordered to remove all barred doors which blocked entrance to the interior of the building. Last night in a raid in Chinatown, conducted by officers of the war emer gency squad, proprietors of establish ments who had not complied with the orders of the Chief of Police were ar rested for violating the fire hazard . ordinance. That this action by the city authorities will put a stop to gambling behind closed doors in China town, as well as give better fire pro tection to the city, is a foregone con elusion, say the. police. Although the fire hazard ordinance has been in existence for 11 years, this is the first time it has been enforced in Chinatown. For a long time the Celestial who wished to gamble has been protected by barred and closed doors and other clever devices. The police have at times conducted strenuous campaigns to put a Ktop to gambling in Chinatown, but they have been handicapped by the barred doors, in some cases plated with heavy steel and bolts. It was necessary for the officers In the past to break down these barriers with heavy sledges, and in the meantime the gamblers fled to Bafety through secret doors and exits. When the news spread throughout Chinatown last night that the police were coming and meant business, ex ited Celestials attempted to remove the door3 before the police arrived. Those arrested by Lieutenant Thatch- , Sergeant Van Overn, Patrolmen Schulpias and Corder are as follows Louie Chung,- 93 Second street; Ah Wong. 244 Pine street: Kung Chong, 44 Pine street; Lee Yuen, 67 Va Second street; Ah Lai, 89 Second street; Ax John, 81 Second street; Mah San, 84 Second street; On Lee, 80 Second street; Chin Tip, 8o Second street; Foo Wing, 3 North Fourth street, and Chin Wing, 67 North Fourth street. They are all charged with main tain - ng a fire hazard, and were released under $100 bail for their appearance n Municipal Court today. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 2. The impression is gaining that James R. Mann, of Illinois, is out of the Speakership race. The opposition to him has kept up con sistently and has been aided largely by matters over which his friends had no control. First the newspapers assailed his pre-war record, and then came the revelations in the packers' hearings as to his receiving a gift horse and a porterhouse steak from Swift & Com pany. Now comes Representative i Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, himself a strong dark-horse candidate for the place, ,with a declaration in favor of Mann's leading opponent, Frederick H Glllett, of Illinois. Representative Fess, of Ohio is still a strong contender and it may be said that unless Gillett succeeds in tying up the prize through caucuses of state delegations the finish is likely to be a race between Gillett and Fess. Long- worth will only be able to deliver a small part of the Ohio delegation to Gillett so long as Fess is in the race. Now that the war is over and farm products, with the exception of wheat, on which a price is fixed, are likely to take a slump, the South is anxious and willing to have prices fixed on cotton. The Southern representatives who con- rol Congress were quite free with price-fixing for the Northern and West ern farmers' wheat, but thev are now manifesting deep regret that thev nro- tected cotton from a price limit. An expression of their misgivings is vent ed in a bill introduced in the House by Representative Heflin, of Alabama, asking Congress to fix the price of cot ton at 30 cents a pound, which is wlth- n three or four cents of the highest figure commanded for that staple dur- ng the war. It is not even suspected that North ern and Western members of Congress, especially tnose representing large wheat districts, will exert themselves to 1 take care of an industry in peace times which demanded and placed the skv as the limit during the war period. A bill to work out the problem of better enforcement of police regula tions on Indian reservations has been introduced by Representative French of Idaho at tho request of the office of Indian affairs. The provisions con tained in this bill were inserted in one of the appropriation bills but went out on a point of order. It is proposed by this measure to give the Federal Gov ernment concurrent power with the states in enforcing the law, the purpose being better preservation of the morals of the Indian wards of the Government. The present 'system, which imposes an almost impossible task on the state authorities, is said to result in great laxity in law enforcement and also in the conduct of the Indians. The gambling laws are violated with im punity and the marriage code is ig nored to the extent that the divorce law is almost no barrier to remarriage. In some cases Indians are reported to have separated and remarried as many as four or five times without the for mality of a divorce. The storm which has been whittling around the War Department ever since Senator Chamberlain made his celebrat ed speech in the Senate a year aeo ri- nouncing the treatment accorded sol diers in the Army camps is now blowing from a different direction. A lew nays ago the ract came out that the sick, wounded and maimed soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital, this city, have Deen compelled to do their own laundry work. This development has aroused criti cism of the War Department from sources which have hitherto h..n friendly, and Secretary Baker has ap peared to regard silence as better than denial. The matter will undoubterilv be the subject of some sharp action by the Senate in a short time. There are 5 or 30 wounded and sick soldiers from Oregon. Idaho and Washington at this hospital.

' Support of Oregon Representative Claimed for Gillette. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 2. Although Representa tive C. N. McArthur of Oregon refused to make any definite statements as to whom he will support for Speaker of the House, his support was claimed today by the friends of Representative Frederick H. Gillette, of Massachusetts. Mr. McArthur has for some time been classified with those opposed to James R. Mann because he has been outspoken in his criticism of Mann's war record and especially of Mann's utterances on the sinking of the Lusitanla. It is further known tha.t Representative Mc Arthur has attended frequent confer ences with Representative Gillette, Ixmgworth and others opposing the Mann candidacy. When told today of reports that he was supporting Gillette Mr. McArthur said: "My colleagues, Hawley and Sin nott, have agreed with me that none of list shall make any announcement on feVEE) (p9S) (MlSt) pHSSl (p2 Syy vS-v J5Ly V-JS-y NJ5L--v Genuine When your health is at stake it's a poor time to take chances with substitutes and imitations.
