The agreement but needs Hill's ap- proval, which there, is every reason to believe will be forthcoming-, as his rep resentatives have bee'n acting; under his directions. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended by the railroad magnates In determined attempts to Keep each, other out of their respective territory. In October officials "of the various companies antagonistic to each other assembled at Chicago at a peace conference, which was a dismal fail ure. The Hill agents had only author ity to settle the Portland disputes, but as the Harriman representatives In sisted that each of the many differences that have arisen in the Northwest be tween the conflicting: Interests be con sidered, negotiations were discontinued. following me uisrupnon 01 ine peace conference In Chicago, Harriman began his condemnation suits in Portland to extend the terminal grounds and to squeeze Hill, who was as aggressive in Seattle as the former was In Port land. In Seattle. Harriman wanted similar rights for his Oregon & Wash ington line to the Sound, as demanded by the Portland & Seattle in North Portland. These are chiefly satisfactory grade crossings of- -the other's tracks giving easy access to tooth cities. THICK DOOR STOPS POLICE BlIAVARKS OF CHINESE DKV W0SDE1UTLLY MADE, jiuard Steps on "ail, AVIilcli ICIngs Distant Warning Buzzer Raid Urea k s l'p - 1 1 . At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Cap tain of Police Moore, commanding the day patrol, and Policeman James Ander- son made one of the most complete raids on a Chinese gambling-house at 67 Second street ever made In the district. J n addition to five arrests, they nefzed a heavy door, 200 feet of wire, a buzzer, two opium layouts and the table and chairs that were used around a f&ntan table. In addition to its completeness, the Taia was ai?o spectacular, as Captain Moore and rolicpiiian Anderson wera obliged to tear clown an extra-heavy door, placed specially to foil the ofn- ters In attempts at arrets. The door served its purpose in part only In this case. A buzzer, in the shape of a nail, tied to an electric button and placed in the floor near the front door, was the Instrument upei by a wily Chinese to notify the players within that the po nce were approaching. FSy means of an electric pparn tus, the Chinese were able to swing the very heavy door shut quickly, thus temporari ly checking the prourpss of the officers. The door wan thick and constructed with double clamp and heavy Iron barn, and ho successfully withstood the kicks and jams Of a scunJ of the largest and atronsrest policemen available. Capt a in M oore and Fol ice ma n A nder son were therefore obliged to await the pleasure or the Chinese before tlicy could enter the establishment. As usual, when thfi police Kt In there was no icame In progretw.' taut every Inmate of the place was lined up nna taKen to headquarters, Two were Wked on charges of having opium In their possession, and the other three were charaed with being inmates of a fcambllnfc-house. After booking the Chinese, Captain Moore and Policeman Anderson returned to the . Raaiibllnif-houso. which Is but & few doors north of pollco headquarters, and netied everything that mav tend to establish a violation of the law when the cases are tried in the Municipal Court. It took t'aptaln Moore and Po liceman Anderson an hour to inspect every portion of the RanibllnR-house and to g-et the property together. Thev re moved the heavy door and carted 'it to headquarters, with the double damps and heavy iron bars. They tore up the buz ser and the 200 feet of wire that con nected it with a bell u feet distant from the nail on which the look-out stepped to give the danger signal ; they also Mtzed two full layouts (or opium-gmok- infr. a fantnn table and chairs. Captain Moore and Policeman Ander son were unable to grt Into the Ra-mblinx"- house In time to see any ran lan being played, but they give it as their opinion that when the case ar tried in the Mu nicipal Court It will be rather difficult for the Chinese to give J udco Cameron satisfactory reasons for all of tho para- phernalla round there. f " lift'-- L'fe-:A:t -!l XSi ?

Both Dr. and Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, who are tn the City of Panama, are well known residents of Portland, and the uncertainty about their safety is causing- . Jeepest anxiety not only to the aged mother and three sons at the family residence, but to the population in general. Both are Identified with the soelal and political life of the state. They have lived here for 16 years. The past year nas been a particularly happy one for the family, as the handsome new iiome at Twenty-fourth and Love joy streets, which tr. Coe had pre sented tc his wife, is nearinf comple tion and they expected to be occupy- tag It by Spring. Dr. Coe has succeeded in bein:. of much substantial benefit to the com munity. As the personal friend of President Roosevelt he was able to be of material assistance in gaining ex ecutive approval and Influence for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and only recently he visited the President and helped convert him to the support of the coming: Alaska-Yukon Exposition at Seattle. To him Is due the mention of the project In the President's mes sage. Before coming to Oregon Dr. Coe lived In North Dakota, where he mar ried Miss Viola May Boley, herself a Krariuate physician. While a resident or that state he served a term In the Legislature and was a member of the State Hoard of Health.

Roth he and Mrs. Coe have been lead- ers In the movement to extend suffrage to women, and Mrs. Coe is at present honorary president of the Oregon State Suffrage Association,' Having declined the active presidency, in which ca pacity she has served in the past. The couple have planned to do much enter taining In their new home Curing the next suffrage campaign, and to make the social features one of the leading: ones in the campaign. When Dr. and Mrs. Coe came to Port land they both engaged In practice, Mrs. Coe assisting in a small sanitarium Dr. Coe then established. As the project gradually enlarged. Mrs. Coe wit h drew to her home duties, and Dr. Coe be- came identified with the present Crys tal Springs Sanatorium (formerly the Mount Tabor Sanatorium), of which he is now treasurer. He is editor of the Medical Sentinel. While having prac tlcally withdrawn from active practice outside his sanatorium, he lias become Identified with several business projects, prominent anions them being the development of copper properties at the base of Mount St. Helens, and the construction of a loop electric line from. Portland to Spirit Lake, where the cop- per mines ar? located. When the women of the Northwest determined to erect & statue to Sacajewea. Or. and Mrs. Coe came forward with the do nation of the necessary copper from one o( their mines to make the bronze. It was at the personal request of Prealdrnt Itoonevel t that lr. Coe made the trip east by way of Panama, and he carried personal introductions from the President to officials there and In Cuba. He Intends making a personal ' investigation and study of the sanitary conditions from the standpoint of labor and reporting personally to the Presi dent. He will also attend to final details concerning the construction of the St Helcna road, and stated before leaving that he expected to be ready to start work on the line immediately upon his return.

The beach Is now being patrolled for miles watching for bodies that may drift ashore. Hold Out Strong Hopes. The officials of the Merchants Ex Change here do not believe that the steamer has been wrecked. The vessel was sighted at 5 P. SI. of the same day, about 16 miles southwest of Point Lo bos. A strong northwest gale was blowing, and she was headed north at the time. It is surmised that she had shipped several heavy seas, and had temporarily cliansed her course to straighten out thlngrs on board. Her liferafts, which were always kept par tially provisioned, may have been swept away during the -Kale, and If so. they would have lia5 Just about time enough to have drifted to Waddell Beach, where they went ashore. Additional evidence, tending: to show the probable safety of the City of Pan ama, is furnished by the master of the standard Oil Company's steamer Maver- Ick, who reports that he passed the City of Panama, headed south, off Point Sur, in Monterey County, over lOO miles below Point Lobos, at 2 P. M. New Year'a day. Owners Are Xot Alarmed. A. prominent official of the Pacific Shfall Steamship Company said today that the Owners of the City of Panama were not alarmed by the finding of life rafts of the City of Panama. They might easily have been washed overboard and the fact that the steamer had passed Point Sur Indicated that she was well on her way to the Mexican port of Mazatlan. The company confidently expects to hear of her arrival there tomorrow or next day. The rate of reinsurance on the City of Panama was today quoted at 65 per cent. At 11 o'clock tonight the revenue cut ter Hugh McCulloch, under command of Captain J. C. Cantweli left her anchorage off Sausalito, going direct to sea on the way to the scene of alleged stranded ship oft Pigeon Point. The McCulloch had steam up all afternoon, expecting orders to ?ail to the relief of the distressed vessel off Pigeon Point and - this order finally came late tonight. Captain Cant well lofcL no time in Retting away. Tho McCulloch is the largest vessel in the revenue cutter service and since her ar- fWv -y WHICH IS NEABINO COMPLETION. T rival from an. extended cruise in waters a lew weeks ago, has been at anchor off Sausalito. Tolegrams. of in quiry sent to the American Connuls at the- various cities on the West Coast of Mexico elicited replies that the steamer had not been sighted. John K. BulKer, T'nited States Inspector of Boilers, said that the day before the City at Panama sailed she was gone over by Inipectors Guthrie and Dolan and that' the life rafta wer unfastened in order to demonstrate that it had been launched in a. hurry. At the time they were fur nished provisions. The law requires that life boats shall at all times have bread and water on board, but this law does not apply to life rafts. However, since the wreck of the Walla. Walla, the life rafts also have been provided for emerg encies. ' BANDIT CONFESSES GUILT Second of Couple JSXlto-. Jtelci Vp a Train in Virginia. HUNTINGTON. W.

THE VALUE OT CHARCOAL. People Know How Vaefnl I Is im FrearrvlMS Meeiltla Mad BeaatT. Co-tii Nothing Try. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier In nature, but few real ize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the- more you take of It the better: it s not a drtjK at all, but simply absorbs the gapes anJ Impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the' system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious Ras which collect In the stomach and boweU : It di ln fectB th mouth and throat from, the poison of catarrb. All druggists sell charcoal In one form 01- another, but probably the best char con,! and the most for th money Is in Btuart'a Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tastins loxensres, the char coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will oon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. Bweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can reRult from their continued use. but. on th contrary, fcreat benefit. A. Buffalo physician.
