That atatement got for rambling-, aa well aa any other social evlL "I have no heeitatlon in say Ins that until the last few weeks the police de partment has made no effort entirely to suppress gambling among Chines. We have Insisted that Chinese shoulil not allow persons of other nationali ties to play their games, and that rule has been observed. The Chinese are a peculiar people. In Portland the Chinese have no thea ters, no resorts where they can secure amusements, and being natural gam blers, this department has considered it advisable to allow them to go ahead. Aa a matter. of fact, we could not stop them. They have the secret means of getting away from a room that is to be raided, and we are seldom able to secure arrests, fifteen minutes after they flee from one Joint they are con cremated at another place where the fantan and other games are running." Chief Cox was emphatic as to the sale of ber at Frits" Theater on Burn side stre-A, stating that the concoction was a distillation that resembled beer, but contained no alcohol. He declared Burns' Cafe at Fourth and Taylor streets to have been closed by the po lice and that ho knew nothing 'of a tenderloin resort In operation above the saloon. Hents RbIm-A, Women Say.

The officers of the police department stand accused of accepting money for the "protection" of women of the tenderloin, the men who ar said to live from their contributions, and the Chinese gambling game. Chief Cox last niht declared he will r.o longer rest under the aspersions as to his character. Implied by the reports of the Municipal Association, and an nounced his intention of asklnr that the proper authorities determine b!s fitness for having charge of th -department which controls the public peace and has to do with the morals of the community. "I wt!l demand that all of the persons ranted in the report of the Municipal Aeeociatlon be eummoned before the county grand Jury and that they divulge what they know of the allrced graft, ssld to have been eollected for protection purposes," said Chief Cox. "Sergeants Wanles and Colts have I erne th best of reputations In th de partment, and I have no hesitation In saying that I believe the charges to b absolutely without foundation.

In an alleged attempt to prevent tba entry of railroads belonging to tha Southern Pacific system Into the Coos Day district. It waa alleged yesterday that comDanles financed by J. Thor burn Ross and manipulated by I D. Kinney had "sewed up" the water front of that district as railroad rights-of-way and are now attempting to promote renl estate bargains. An Injunction was issuea oy ma Vnlted States Court prohibiting tha foreclosure of a mortgage on all tne property - by L D. Kinney to F. B. Watte, of Rosetnirar. and demanding an accounting on behalf of creditors or tne Coos Bay district who represent 8700, 000 of Indebtedness. Attornev Robert Tucker, Charles B. Felby. of Marshfleld. and A. S. Ham mond, of Coqullle. have entered their appearance In behalf of the creditors and are attempting to have the various companies organized by Kinney de clared Involuntary bankrupts. Narrow Eseapo Alleged. The mortgage was to have been foreclosed next Monday In the circuit Court of Coqullle. and It Is alleged thnt by so doing the creditors of the Title liuaruntee Trust Company would have been defrauded of approxi mately 860.000. bank funds and Inter est, representing the alleged Invest ment which Ross made In the scheme. After receiving th money from Ross It Is alleged that Kinney s first project was a belt-line railroad encircling the harbor of Coos Bay and which gave him control of a great area of water front. He is said to have received cor dial support from residents of the dis trict and to havn obtained deeds or concessions covering the entire dis tance. Kinney is then charged with having platted the waterfront Into lots and wharfage and to Have sold It at a handsome profit. Walte having helped to finance and promote the deal. "ISIInd Investment" Alleged. It Is charged by representatives of Ross that he never received any return from the money he Invested and that neither he nor th receiver for th Title Guarantee &. Trust Company knew of the value of th Investment made with the bank funds until time came for foreclosure of the mortgage. It Is charged that Kinney, a well known promoter, realized the value of the wharfage front on Coos Bay and In spired Ross to supply the funds. Kinney nrst organisea tne eit une Railroad, surrounding the bay, and fol lowed It with the Grand Central Rail road, connecting Marshfleld with North Bend. He next organized the Rapid Transit Company. Instead of building railroads, Kinney ts charged with establishing saw-mlll- lng Industries and operating general stores for the sale of merchandise, hardware, buggies, harness, lamber and machinery. Bank Trustee ITolds Title? The real estate, which is the only val uable asset acqu'red by these different parties, has been sold to various peo ple. It ts claimed that John K.

On tha contrary, my hair sacmad to coma out aven faster, and I was now fearful lest I should become en tirely bald. In my despair a friend told ma of aa Ecuador herb which he said would positively grow hair oa any head where tha hatr roots were not entirely gone, and ha said tha natives of tha coun try where It grew were famous for their beautiful Ion hair. Upon medical' advice. X combined this herb with Bay Rum and Menthol Crystals and Immediately began Its use. In three applications It entirely stopped tha tntensa Itching off my scalp and la a vary short time it not only stopped my falling hair, but X noticed an abundance of new hair coming in, . in less than one month my hair waa longer, thicker and more beautiful than aver.' All due to this marvelous halr-growlng herb. . A lady to whom I gave the formula used It oa her daughter, and she said It made her hatr grow five Inches la less than a month. Doctors to whom X have shown It say It la the only thing which will actually grow new hair; therefore. I think tha public ought to ha It- At first I thought I would keep It a secret and sell tho secret, but when I think how I suffered and how badly 1 needed It and how hundreds of others must need It, the same as I did, X fel I ouaht to give It to the world There fore, I authorise this paper to publish this formula, which Is as follows: Bay Rum. six ounces: Lavona de Cotnpoeee. two ounoes; Menthol Crystals, H drachm. If you Ilk It perfumed, add a few drops of To Kalon Perfume, which mixes perfectly with tha other ins red lent. This, however, is not necessary. Be sure to ask the druggist for all tha enclosures In the Lavona da ompoeea' pec le ase. One of them entitles you to a hand some fra sprlnkier top for your Hair Tonic bottle and you are also entitled to re ceive tha free advice of aa expert on tha hair by simply writing to the address you will find enclosed tn tho carton. Ask your drusglst for an elKht eunoa bot tle, containing six ounces of Bay Rum; then ?ut la the Menthol Crystals and the Per ume. Next add one-half of the bottle of Lovano de Composee. let It stand 4 to I hours, then sdd the remainder of tha Lavona de Composee'. Always buy the La vona de Composee' In a two-ounce sealed bottle, ae this preparation contains the Juice of the Ecuador herb mentioned above, and It loses Ita strength If unsealed. Apply the fire. para U on night and morning and rub well oto the scalp. If properly used tt will pro dues most astonishing results.
