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
