Webster Signs Order Closing
Six Saloons.
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.

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

Homer Kruse, of Wilsonville;
Mrs. Fred Eilers, Mrs. F. J.
Siemon, of Portland, and Mrs.

cation in every way for a high-class stock
company appealing to the best family
patronage In the city.
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.

HOW TO SAVE GAS
The answer is. Get a' Gas Stove or
Range that is up to date. 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

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. .
