POLICE AVERT TROUBLE
When I re Gong Fa Is Hit, Big
Crowd Gathers About' Crew of
AVoodlawo Car, but Bluecoals
Quickly Arrive on Scene.
An Incipient riot wag narrowly avert
ed In the heart ot old Chinatown yes
terday afternoon when Lee Gong Fu. a
Chinese cook, (ell a victim of the third
streetcar accident in six hours. Had it
not been for the close proximity of po
lice headquarters, the lives of the train
crew of a northbound W oodlawn car
would have been Jeopardized. The China
man died later.
At a time in the afternoon when the
thoroughfares in the vicinity of Sec
ond and Oak were crowded with Celes
tials. Goner Fu attempted to cross the
tracks on Second street. A Woodlawn
car operated by Motorman L. H. Ander
son and Conductor J. H. Brown pulled
into the main tracks from a spur half a
block up the street. The car was under
control of Motorman Anderson and was
running; at a low rate of speed. When
at a distance of 10 feet the motorman
espied the Chinaman In the middle of
the street. Anderson immediately
sounded bis gongs and shouted a warn
ing; at Gong- Fu, as lie applied his emer
gency brakes. Heedless of the warn
ings, the Celestial continued on his way
and an instant later was struck by the
front vestibule. He was burled several
feet toward the curb. The accident was.
witnessed by the throngs of Chinamen
along; the street and when Motorman
Anderson brought the car to a stand
still a few feet distant from the point
of the accident, a horde of the slant
eyed individuals swarmed about the car
and hurled threatening epithets at the
train crew. Officials at police bead
quarters a half block away were at
tracted by the commotion and a squad
of bluecoats were dispatched to the
scene. Their apeparance had a tenden
cy to stop the Chinamen from carry
ing out their threats. Gong Fu was
picked up and hurried to the Good Sa
maritan Hospital in an unconscious
condition. Upon a thorough examina
tion at the hospital It was found that
aside from suffering from a number of
painful bruises about the body, the
skull was fractured In such a manner
as to cause the physicians to abandon
all hope of saving his life. He died In the
hospital about 11 o clock.
Lee Gong Fu baa been a resident of
the United States for the past SO years.
He came to Portland three years ago
from Astoria. Since that time until
three months ago he was employed as a
t-ook in House's Cafe, 228 Third street.

connected with several of the local Chi
nese societies.

ployed by the Western Union, narrowly
escaped aerious injuries when thrown
from bis wheel by a westbound Wash
ington streetcar at Sixth and Washing
ton streets and directly isr the path of
a large touring car at 5 o'clock last
evening. Fortunately the lad was ex
tricated from his perilous position by
the timely arrival of Patrolman Adams,
who grasped the messenger's leg and
pulled him from the path of the wheels
of the car. He was able to proceed to
his home with the assistance of sev
eral of bis colleagues.
N. E. Rarnmond. a traveling sales
man, residing at 240 East Thirty-sixth

ago were the talk of the country.
I'nder the strain caused by the wor
ries and publicity to which he was
exposed by the Bensational divorce suit
of his former wife, daughter of General
John A. Logan, Colonel Tucker's
health gave way completely. He was
attacked by a complication of kidney
troubles, and for many months was
under constant medical attention, al
most at the point. of death.
Colonel Tucker waa stationed In Port

the Quartermaster's service here, and

he could return here he would recover.

Portland Hotel last night, "and the

I feel better than I have felt In many

working of all the machinery which
changed good, sound ' currency Into
gaseous 30 per cent and finally no per
cent securities, and now, breaking my
long silence and redeeming my promise
made to the press in an open letter, I
wish to say that I take pardonable
pride in the fact that my clients, by
waiting and declining to surrender
their claims In exchange for the so
called "securities," have forced a good
settlement and vindicated my Judgment
and decision. To the gentlemen. Inter
alia those constituting the 'depositors'
committee' (?) so-called (God save the
mark), who solicited depositors to
"sign off and fall In line with the
plans of this reorganization, I have no
apologies to offer. They will, however,
not miss them. Their only loss is in
the bonus that they would have been
paid for getting depositors to line up
and enter the fold and help open the
bank for the benefl of the few specu-
latlng stockholders, .while the deposit
ors themselves were being damned.
And yet, their loss is only in filthy
lucre, for of glory they had much
for were they not press-heralded, as
public benefactors, unselfish patriots
that they were.
Among them there should be no
"wailing or gnashing of teeth," for
have they not been paid all that the
dear public was led to believe that they
were to receive?
So, In conclusion, permit no to close
with the words of the old motto:
"To my real friends, champagne.
To my sham friends, real pain."
It is a sad commentary on our bank
ing Institutions that whenever banks
fail their first appeal is to the de
positors to help them out not mindful
of the fact that they have betrayed
their confidence, in permitting their
moneys trust money to be loaned on

tG. A. R. OFF TO SALT LAKE)
Over 100 Go From Portland to At
tend National Encampment.
More than 100 G. A. R. veterans left
Portland yesterday afternoon at 6
o'clock for Salt Lake City to attend the
'National Encampment, which begins
there tomorrow. Three special cars were
chartered for the trip.
It is thought this may be the last
great encampment west of the Rocky
Mountains, as the ranks of the veterans
are growing thinner every year. How
ever, many of the veterans think that
the last great gathering of the armies of
the Civil War will be held on the Pa
cific Coast. The reason is that the
strongest sons came West after the war
and the climate has kept them strong.
In order that the crippled veterans may
not be required to lug baggage all over
the city looking for quarters, the com
mittee on entertainment has arranged
to let them stay in the cars during the,
time of the convention. About 200 cars
in all will be grouped together, and
tney will be supplied with all possible
conveniences.
The Woman's Relief Corps, headed by
Mrs. Russ Chamberlain, left for Salt ;

Extends the Means of
Producing Music to Everyone. .
Do you realize what the Pianola-Piano offers you? Think of this for a mo
nient. A few yeara ago there was no such thing as a Pianola, or a Pianola-
Piano. Today, the name of this instrument is as well known as the name of the

iUUU AWVU. M - J -
and even in far-off Australia, thousands of Pianolas and Pianola-pianos have
been sold. Every year the Pianola-piano is becoming more and more popular.
The Pianola-piano has taken
music out of the class of the so
, called accomplishments, has made
it an art to be enjoyed by all,
rather than the exclusive posses
sion of the privileged few.
We wish now to call special at
tention to our magnificent exhib
it of Pianola-Pianos.
We have an enormous stock of
them on hand never heretofore,
not- even in New York, has it been
possible to show such a tremen
dous number of latest Pianola
Pianos of each of the various ,
styles and in the v ar ions
superb and costly woods and fin
ishes used only by the world
renowned makers of this magnifi
cent art product.
Many are deterred from inves
tigating the Pianola Piano because o the erroneous impression
that such an instrument costs $1000, $1100 and $1150.
While we have genuine Pianola Pianos at such prices, in fancy
selected woods and handsomely carved case of special design, it
should be borne in mind that regular catalogue styles of the gen-

Never again will Portland witnesss a showing of so extensive and superb a variety of styles and designs.
There's many a "silent" piano in many a home, where there ought to be a Pianola Piano, a genuine Pianola Piano, an instru
ment that is not "mechanical." but. on the contrary, makes it possible for every member of the family to produce the choicest of
music with perfect individuality and expression. . J
We are now prepared to take such "silent pianos" in part payment for one of these very latest Metrostyle and Tneraodist
Pianola Pianos, and we will make it an object for any owner of snch old-style piano to do business with us now.
If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time to see about it at Eilers Piano House, Betail Department, the
always busy corner" at Park (Eighth) and Washington streets.
