Chinese Outbreak Averted by
Sheriff Stevens.
OFFICER LOSES HIS WATCH
While Busy Searching Chinaman for
Weapons, Gold Timepiece Disap
pears Slow Progress In Trial
of Iiem Woon for Murder.
A murderous riot and the renewal of
hostilities between tne rival tongs that
are concerned in the trial of Lem Woon
for the murder of Lee Dai Hoy, was pre
vented In Judge Bronaugh's courtroom
yesterday only by the timely intervention
of Sheriff Stevens. Having an intimation
that serious trouble was brewing, Sheriff
Stevens searched a number of suspicious
Celestials with the result that two were
found to bo armed with large, fully-loaded
revolvers. They were hastily hurried to
the County Jail but were released later
In the day by depositing $50 cash bail to
answer to the charge of carrying con
cealed weapons. They gave the names of
Lum IPui and Loul Mung. They are said
to be trf highbinders from San Fran
cisco A'no came to Portland Immediately
following the assassination of Lee Dai
1oy. One cf them, it Js alleged, is a
relative of the' 2t"fendant Lem.
Prisoner Is Scared.
During a recess of the court yesterday
morning, Lem, the accused murderer, be
came extremely nervous and when ques
tioned by Deputy Sheriff Beatty, said
that ho suspected some of the witnesses
for the prosecution were armed. ' At this
moment Sheriff Stevens, who has been
spending most of his time in the court
room since the drawing of the jury be
gan, for he has anticipated trouble, en
tered the courtroom. Deputy Sheriff
Beatty related what the frightened
prisoner had said and Sheriff Stevens pro
ceeded immediately to search a num
ber of Chinese who were sitting on the
louth side of the room.
They were all witnesses for the prose
cution and since the trial began have
been occupying seats on that side of the
room. Practically every Chinese was
searched but the weapons with which
they were supposed to be provided were
not to be found.

BAND CONCERT SEASON IN THE
PARKS OPENS THIS AFTERNOON
Thirty-two Concerts, Paid for by City, to Be Played During Summer by
De Caprio's Municipal Band.
THE Summer band concert season
in the parks will ' commence to
day, with a programme to be given at
the City Park by the Municipal Band,
directed by A. DeCaprlo. A total of
32 concerts has been contracted for by
the Park Board, to be paid for ty the
city. During June only Sunday con
certs will be given, but commencing
with July 6, there will be five con
certs weekly. The Sunday programmes
will be rendered at the City Park, and
the right concerts, Tuesday, Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday, will be dis
tributed among the other parks. There
' will be one concert weekly on the
Plaza, and one at Holladay Park.
Public Summer band concerts are a
Portland institution that has grown
in favor steadily since established in
, 1903 through the efforts of Charles L.
Brown and the late J. D. Meyer. The
music was paid for mainly by public
subscription, but the city's participa
tion has grown steadily until last year
the concerts were paid for entirely
with money appropriated by the Coun
cil, and the same will be true this sea
eon. In 1903 and 1904 Charles L. Brown
conducted the band. There were no
park concerts in 1905 during the Lewis
and Clark Fair. In 1906 Charles L.
Brown, A. De Caprio and J. G. McElroy
were the leaders. Last year Mr. De
Caprio conducted the concerts and he
was the successful bidder again this
season. Interest and attendance has
Increased noticeably with every Sum
mer. A popular and classical programme
has been prepared by Conductor De
Caprio for this afternoon. One of the
features will be the "Quartet of
Roses," composed by himself, which
will be rendered by a cornet, a bari
tone, a trombone and a bass horn, with
Introduction by full band. This num
ber has been arranged for saxophones
and will be played In this form at a
future concert. A clarinet solo will

BLOOMS THAT AOS FIRST PRIZE IV EXHIBIT DURINO FESTIVAL CAME KROM THESE BUSHES OS GROUXDS OF CAPTAIN1 AND MRS.
A. L,. PEASE. 784 PETTYGROVE STREET,
Among the hundreds of exhibits at the rose show held In the Oriental building- at the Exposition grounds during Festival week, few were ad-"
mired as was the prize-winning 24 Caroline Testout roses exhibited by Captain and Mr3. A. L. Pease. The hedge from which the roses were plucked
grows on the grounds of the Pease residence, 7S4 Pettygrove street, and Is 100 feet long. It grew from cuttings planted by Mrs. Peease five years
ago. Competition for the prizes in this exhibit was exceptionally keen and there were many displays entered.

ployed as special counsel by tha. friends
of the dead merchant to assist Deputy
District Attorney Stevenson' in prosecut
ing the case, then escorted Sheriff
Stevens to the north side of the court
room, where the witnesses for the de
fendant were seated and suggested that
the officer search them. The first man
tackled was found to be armd with a
late model 3S-caliber revolver, while a
gun of the same caltter was taken from
the next Chinese. Sheriff Stevens was
making the search unassisted and be
fore he had finished searching the two
armed men the other friends of the man
on trial had managed to get mixed up
in the crowd and left the room.
Taking the two amed Chinese into
custody Sheriff Stevens hurried them
down stairs and into separate cells in
the county jail.
Sheriff Loses His Watch.
While descending the stairs in the
courthouse building Sheriff Stevens lost
his. valuable gold watch and chain. The
timepiece in some way slipped out 01
his pocket and bounded from the stairs
to the hallway below, which was densely
crowded with spectators who had just
left the courtroom. But the officer's
attention was so much occupied with
his charges that he was unable to make
a search for the watch, which disap
peared entirely. He has not been able
to find any trace of the timepiece.
Little progress was made yesterday
towards selecting a Jury to try Lem
Woon on the charge of murdering Lee
Dai Hoy. When court adjourned for
the day until tomorrow morning only
six jurors had been accepted out of
fourteen that had been examined. The
six that have qualttied are: J. H.
Barton, W. E. Brooks, Alonzo Perkins,
H. W. Sitton, W. W. George and H. C.
Haack. The following were excused:
Mark W. Gill, W. B. Buell, Charles G.
Bunte, E. G. Goding, Henry M. Wagner,
Gus P. Clerin and O. C. R. Ellis.
AXjMITS PASSING BAD CHECK
J. F. Brown Changes Plea and Will
Serve 18 Months.
Changing his plea of not guilty to
that of guilty, J. F. Brown, alias Madi
son, who had been indicted for obtain
ing money under false pretenses, was
yesterday sentenced by Judge Ganton
bein to serve 18 months in the state
penitentiary. Brown, with the assist
ance of a woman, who gave the name
of Anna L. Pugmeyer, had operated
extensively throughout the States of
Oregon and Washington and had suc
ceeded In cashing many checks of
small denomination before they were
apprehended. The woman declined to
change her plea to guilty and probably
will be tried on a charge of ootaining
money under false pretenses. It is al
leged that the woman passed most of
the spurious checks. The specific crime
for which Brown was sentenced was
that of cashing a worthless check for
$16.

HEDGE THAT PRODUCED WINNING CAROLINE TESTOUT ROSES
Hill, near Portsmouth, was yesterday
sentenced to serve three years in the
state penitentiary, having been con
victed of a statutory offense. Sentence

Simpson's own daughter.
JCKY FIXDS IT CAXXOT AGREE
Ketrial of Kunz Case Is Xot Yet De
cided Upon.
After having deliberated on a ver
dict all night, the jury in the suit of
Martha M. Kunz, administratrix of the
estate of David H. Kunz, deceased,
against the O. R. & N. Company, yes
terday reported a disagreement in
Judge Bronaugh's department of the
State Circuit Court and was discharged.
Mrs. Kunz was suing for $5600 dam
ages for the death of her husband,
the destruction of the team and wagon
he was driving, together with a wagon
load of pumpkins for the Portland
market. The wagon was struck by
one of the defendant company's
trains. The suit was filed in May,
1905, and in the original trial the rail
road company was granted a non-suit.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court and a new trial was ordered. It
has not been decided when the case
will be retried.
Flees Krom Imaginary Foes.
Rushing Into the County Courtroom
yesterday, Nicholas Meyer, a Swede,
aged 41 years, sought protection from
imaginary enemies that he declared
had been pursuing him for the last two
years in an attempt to poison him by
placing poison in his coffee. The man
was very evidently demented and was
turned over to the Sheriff's office. Later
in the day Meyer was examined and ad
judged insane. He represented that he
had been roaming over the state for
the last two years seeking to protect
himself and his life. He said that he
came to Portland from Yaqulna Bay.
Bequests to German Societies.
A bequest of $100 each is left to the
Portland Social Turn Vereln and the
General German Aid Society by the will
of the late Carl Robert Andritschke,
which was admitted to probate yester
day. Andritschke died last month,
leaving an estate valued at $4500. Aside
from tlie two bequests aggregating
$200, the estate is bequeathed to the
surviving children of the decedent s
three brothers, Frederick, Ernest and
Gustav Andritschke, whose addresses
are unknown.

First Grange Club of This Kind to
Be Established Movement Ex
pected to Spread.
The Multnomah County Masters' and
Lecturers' Association, of the Patrons ot
Husbandry, perfected its organization
yesterday at a meeting held with Lents
Grange. Nearly all the ten Granges In
the county were represented eitner Dy tne
master or lecturer. Constitution and by
laws were adopted as submitted by J. J.
Johnson, Mrs. E. L. Thorpe and H. W.
Snashall. As set forth in the declara
tion of purpose the association has been
organized to promote a better class of
work in the Granges, encourage educa
tional methods and develop a more har
monious course in the lecturers' field.
Membership of the association Includes
masters and lecturers in active service.
Past masters and lecturers and deputies
are entitled to honorary membership. The
state lecturer is an ex-officlo member.
Any member of a Grange may attend
meetings of the association and present
questions for consideration and be heard.
Meetings of the association will be held
about 30 days before meetings of Po
mona Grange. Special meetings may be
called by the president and secretary on
three days' notice. Dues are 25 cents
annually. Officers are elected annually
the first meeting in each year. The first
officers of the association are president,
vice-president, secretary and treasurer.
Mrs. Carrie Townsend is the president and
Mrs. J. M. Ashcroft secretary.
At the meeting there was a general dis
cussion of plans. J. J. Johrson, state lec
turer, outlined the advantages of such
organization ,and expressed the hope that
other counties in the state would organ
ize similar associations. He said that it
was intended to secure the co-operation
of all the county and college libraries in
the state in carrying on the educational
work of the Patrons of Husbandry. Top
ics for consideration fer the ensuing
months of the year would be prepared In
advance for use of lecturers of Granges,
and the libraries of the state, he said,
will be asked to furnish books bearing on
these subjects, and through masters' and
lecturers' organizations it was hoped to
develop a higher standard of general edu
cational work. Mrs. E. L. Thorpe sug-

WORKS FOR HAYES BILL
A. J. Laws Wants Higher Tensions
for Indian War Veterans.
Among those who are working hard to
secure an Increase of pensions for In
dian War Veterans is A. J. Laws, of
Eufaula. "Wash., who was in attendance
at the annual encampment held In Port
land last Wednesday. Mr. Laws Is still
In this city and Is quietly endeavoring
to strengthen this movement by urging
its importance upon his friends and old
comrades.
At a recent encampment a resolution
was passed indorsing the Hayes bill,
which is now pending before Congress
and which Is drawn to place Indian War
veterans on the eame footing as vet
erans of the Civil War in the matter of
financial assistance given them by the
Government. Mr. Laws urges the peo
ple of the Pacific Northwest to take an
active interest in this legislation and to
join In a campaign for the purpose of
its enactment.
"Because the Indian War veterans
have little political power is no reason
why they should be discriminated against
in the matter of Federal pensions," said
Mr. Laws. "Many men who fought In
dians here In the pioneer days were dis
abled for life, but they have never re
ceived from the Government the recog
nition that they deserve. Commercial
bodies and citizens generally should
make an active effort in behalf of legis
lation that will protect In their declin
ing years these old soldiers who fought
to win the Pacific Northwest for the
white man."

IRREVERENCE FOR LAW
Writer Blames Lack of Repression
and Court Technicalities.
PORTLAND, June 13. (To the Kditor.)
Referring to an editorial in last Mon
day's Oregonian on "Cheap Human Life,"
I wish to say that "law breaking" the
cause which The Oregonian finds is due
entirely to lack of repression.
Lack of repression Is caused by techni
calities of courts and loss of sense of
duty or sentimentalities of jury. Drunk
enness and insanity are continuous ex
cuses. Good jurymen are disgusted with
technicalities and length of trials, and
do not feel protected enough to do their
duty, mainly in oases of anarchists;

In no other disease is a thorough cleansing of the blood more necessary
than in Contagious Blood Poison. The least particle of this insidious viru3
will multiply in the circulation and. so thoroughly contaminate the blood
that no part of the body will be exempt from the ravages of this powerful
disease. Usually the first symptom is a little sore or ulcer, insignificant in
itself, but soon the blood becomes so contaminated that the mouth and throat
ulcerate, glands ia the groin swell, hair and eye-brows come out, copper
colpred spots appear on the body, and frequently sores and ulcers break out
on the flesh to humiliate the sufferer. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison,
by purifying the circulation. It attacks the disease in the right way by going;
down into the circulation, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the
poison, and making this fluid pure, fresh and health-sustaining. The im
provement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of
S. S. S., and continues until every trace of the disease is removed from the
blood, and the sufferer completely restored to health. Not one particle o
the poison is left for future out-breaks after S. S. S. has purged and purified
the blood. Book on the home treatment of this disease and any medical ad
vice desired free, 'a THE SWIFT. SPECD7IC. CO., ATLANTA, CA.

whence the difficulty today to find good
Jurors.
Technicalities of higher courts to
which lower courts have to submit are
due to election of judges. These latter
cannot help but feel that their re-election
is under control of the Bar Associa
tion. In England judges are appointed
for life and are "independent." This
makes all the difference between the ap
plication of "Kngllsh law" In America
and in England.
There is hardly ever an "objection"
heard in an English court of law. The
Judge does most of the questioning. How
could en attorney object?
Give a good repression and we will
have no "law breaking." Unfortunately,
nations, like individuals, get old very
fast. Xon-enforcement of laws and
lack of repsesBlon of crimes, together
with the breaking of family ties, are
signs of a young civilization getting old
fast and there is no remedy.
