FIGHT IS NOT YET ENDED Liquor Interests Which Contend That Irregularity Occurred in Combi nation of Precincts Will Ap peal to Supreme Court. There was sorrow among the thirsty at St. John yesterday afternoon for with the stroke of 12 old King Booze was banished from his reign. At that hour prohibition became effective, when County Judge Webster signed an order putting local option into full and formal effect. Six saloons were hit. It is reported that the six were still doing business during the afternoon, but it was a back-door business, and even that will not last long. Anyone may sign a complaint and the penalty for violat ing the prohibition laws is not pre cisely mild. The ealoonmen fought hard to offset the law, advancing alleged technical Irregularities. But they failed. They will take the case up to the Supreme Court, but in the meantime prohibition is in effect in accordance with Judge Webster's decision, and the tnlrsjy of St. John must hereafter resort to the little tricks of beating the game, such as carrying flasks from Portland or skulking into a by-street where some festive "blind pig" is carrying out a precarious existence in constant fear of molestation by the law. It was contended by the saloon in terests, represented by K. Magoon. that when the precincts comprising St. John, 90 and 91, were combined with precinct 89, University Park, a tech nical Infraction of the local option law was committed by the hosts of prohibition for the reason that 89 had previously gone dry. The law provides that any precinct which goes dry cannot hope for another election within two years. Eleven days after the last election, the court would have proclaimed St. John dry except for an injunction se cured by Magoon from the Circuit Court. Magoon made the objections already enumerated. A demurrer to the injunction was promptly filed and the arguments on this Issue were pre sented before Judge Gantenbein on Friday, when Judge Gantenbein sus tained the demurrer. Magoon at once said he would take the case to the Supreme Court. It was hoped by the saloonmen that the law would not be put into effect, pending the outcome of the appeal. But the County Court, which was ap pealed to yesterday for a closing order, promptly issued the document sealing the fate of St. John glnmills. OWNER STILL GUARDS GARDEN Bennett Too Busy to Appear In Case i Against Railroad. E. F. Bennett, owner of a horse radish patch south and west of the city, was so busy guarding the patch from Invasion by a railway crew yesterday that he was unable to appear in the Circuit Court and present his side in the injunction which he secured sev eral days ago to keep the Oregon Elec tric Railway Company from invading and despoiling the garden. At least that was the assertion made by Ben nett's lawyer when the case was called before Judge Gantenbein, and a contin uance had to be granted until Monday forenoon. The horseradish patch case has aroused considerable interest and the result was that the courtroom was nearly as populous when the hour for hearing arrived as during a full-fledged murder trial. Bennett had enjoined the electric company from invading his garden. The company found it neces sary to pass through the patch or build around. Bennett made the contention that the garden, comprising some 20 acres, is very fertile and adapted to the raising of horseradish, thus imparting a great value to the land. He thought $1000 per acre was a fair price, but the electric company- wouldn't hear of such a rate. With a force of 25 men tha company sought to invade the garden and build a roadbed. But Bennett has tily raised an army of 18 men and stood oft the invaders. For a time the situa tion partook of the nature of a South American revolution. Truce was ef fected when Bennett left his army in the field, rushed to the Circuit Court and secured an injunction. Arguments on the question were to have been heard yesterday. The electric company had a long af fidavit as to the nature and value of the land. Bennett was expected to have an affidavit summing up his con tentions. But he sent word he hadn't been able to leave his horseradish patch, since the invaders ' were "just over the fence." The railroad company gave assurance, however, that it had not the slightest intention of breaking the injunction, and so Bennett, thus re assured, will likely be able to get away for a few hours to prepare his affidavit. In the meantime the horse radish continues growing in luxurious fashion, while the railway is ac a standstill. COMPANY LEAVES HOME Baker Players to Be at Empire The ater Next Season. The coming week is an especially no table one in the history of the Baker Theater in fact, in the history of things theatrical in this city for it marks the closing rjC the famous Baker stock com pany in its original home, the Baker Theater, and the moving, next season, of Portland's crack amusement organization to a location further up town. Upper Morrison street, which is rapidly becom ing more and more of a business district, will be much benefited by the change next year to the Empire, which Is an ideal lo- CITY PARK BAND CONCERT MUSIC THIS AFTERNOON .'IF WEATHER WILL PERMIT. OLD SETTLER OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY PASSES AWAY. 1 illlflfll ' ' - 7 The Late Joliann l lrloh Wagner. WILSON V ILL E, Or., June 27. ( Special. ) Johann Ulrich Wagner, one of the oldest and most respected settlers of Clackamas County, was buried near Stafford Wednesday, 'He was born at Chur, Switzer land, and when a young man of 19 years came to the United States and settled in Milwaukee, Wis. He resided there until 1S73, when he, with his family, re moved to Portland, where he fol lowed his trade of tanner until 1S76, when he located on the banks of the Willamette nine miles above Oregon City. He re sided there until death. Besrdes his widow he leaves seven chil dren Charles F. and Fritz Wag ner, Mrs. Gustav Stein, Mrs. Homer Kruse, of Wilsonville; Mrs. Fred Eilers, Mrs. F. J.

The Empire will enjoy a complete and thorough renovating and changing about during the Summer months, with the end of making it suitable for the reception of the company and Its patrons, and there is every reason to believe that the change will meet with hearty approval of every one Just as soon as everything becomes settled. The Baker will be devoted to road at tractions in the future, and the prices will run from 25 cents to $1. These attractions will include many for which Portland theater-goers have always paid J1.50 to see heretofore, and will Include many musical comedies and operas. Programme of Popular and Cli iss Ical Numbers Prepared Wl 11 Commence at 2:30 Sharp,1 Weather permitting, there will be a band concert at the City Park this t after noon, commencing at 2:30 o'clock I :harp. Those who wish to- hear the opening num ber should be on hand promptly. ; It is the famous "Knights of the Grail" ; march from Wagner's grand opera, "Par sifal," and one of the gems of the progr amme. "Parsifal" is declared by many the great est work of the great composer, aj nd this march is one of the finest parts' of the opera. It has been played In F ortland only a few times. 6ignor DeCaprio has drawn t in both classical and popular works in jM .eparing his programme, and the variety is great enough to please all tastes. A:f ide from the "Parsifal" march, perhaps . the most pretentious number is the "Poq me Sym phonique." commonly known as the "Danse Macabre," or "Skeletons' Dance," by Saint-Saens. This is a 6? escrlptlve composition, and portrays a ' graveyard scene. The story opens at th; stroke of midnight. The skeletons emerge from their coffins and hold high cai nival until the approach of morning. J There are weird shrieks, ghoulish daneesi and moans and sobs. At the first cock'js crow the spirits return to their cabined cells, and the music closes with the iattle of the bones as the skeletons drc p back Into the coffins. Signor DeCaprio,' by request, will play a baritone solo. He has chosen "La Corsa Milanese," a compo I ltion of his own, designed to display ti th execution and tone. His baritone a los are well remembered as happy features of last Summer's programmes. ; An unpublished arranger jent of the mu sic of the third act of , "La Boheme" (Puccini) will be renderej by the band.

The trou ble with most "gas ranges is that they do not burn all the gas that passes through the burners. The gas is part ly burned and partly decomposed. The result is that one-fourth more gas is used than is necessary, and the de composed gas that escapes into the room causes injury to the health of the housekeeper, who thinks that the fault is in the quality of the gas. You can save your health and save your money, if you will try one of our DIRECT ACTION GAS RANGES. These we sell on trial, and if they are not exactly as represented, money refunded.

ORAL SCHOOL FOR DEAF Will Be Conducted in Connection With Public School System. Arrangements have been completed by the Board of Education to inaugurate an oral school for deaf children in connec tion with the public school system of Portland. The innovation will begin at the regular opening of the Fall term of the schools. Announcement of such a school will perhaps Interest only "a few, but those few are deeply and sincerely interested. At the opening of the term there will be a number of deaf and dumb children in attendance and already more than half a dozen are eagerly awaiting the chance to learn to speak. The school will be located, in all prob ability, in one of the public school build ings, but definite announcement of tjie location will be made later. Only speech and lip reading will be taught, finger, or sign, language being entirely elimi nated. Those urging the establishing of such a school insist that it will be of in estimably more . benefit to unfortunate children than the regular state insti tutions. At the local schools, it is con tended, children attending will be per mitted to remain with their parents arid children of any age will be eligible to entrance. They will also have the op portunity, of mingling and associating with speaking people, while at tha 3ame time learning to speak. . Woman's Missionary League.
