Into his store last night.
Wong told the Police that Ting
walked up to him with a smile, leaned
over the table and asked if he was en
Joying his dinner. Wong's reply was
scarcely spoken, he said, when the other
Celestial shoved a knife between his
shoulder blades. Ting bolted out of
the door, taking his knife with him, be
tore other Chinese could interfere.
Tons Fend Feared. .
Rumors of bad feeling between the
Hip Sings and the Suey Sings have been
current . in Portland for some time.
Members of the Hip Sing Tong said last
night that Lum Chong Ying arrived
from San Francisco only a few days
ago. They said he was known there
chiefly for his connection with the Bow
Leung Tong, but Intimated that he Tiad
come to Portland at the behest of the
Suey Sings..
Sergeant Harms and Officers Wise

Philip and Walker Kamra, of Port
land, on Way to San Bernardino
. to Claim Misses - Maude and
Louise Roberts as Brides. 1
From, a chance meeting on an ocean
greyhound speeding toward Europe in
the'year 1910, a pleasant acquaintance
ripened into cordial friendship, which
in turn developed into more tender af
fection, with the result that Philip
Schuyler Kamm and Walker Willis
Kamm, grandsons of the late. Jacob G.
Kamm, Portland multimillionaire, and
sons of Mrs. Charles T. Kamm, swung
aboard, the Shasta Limited yesterday
bound for San Bernardino, Cal.. where

next Saturday.
Devotees of motoring. Misses Maude
Marie Roberts and Louise Eliza Rob
erts, prominent young society, girls of
San Bernardino, CaL, found, kindred
spirits in the Messrs. Kamm. when
they met on their way to the-Continent.
The friendship developed during the
voyage was renewed on the Continent
when the routes taken by the two par
ties crossed. The Girls were accom
panied by their mother, Mrs. E. D. Rob-
rts, and took many automobile tours.
Philip and Walker' Kamm were motor
ing through the countries and that
their paths converged at frequent in
tervals was not 'always the- result 'of
chance.
Upon their return Messrs. Kamm fin- i
ished their studies at Amherst, at which
time, as luck or Cupid would have it,
the Misses Roberts were attending a
finishing school near Boston. Friend-
hip further progressed, so that when
chool days were over the California
trips made by : Philip and Walker
Kamm, who were 'then in business in
Portland, were of amazing frequency.
Hitherto they have come back alone,
but in about five weeks they will re
turn here from their honeymoon with
two charming additions to Portland
society. ' '
Walker Kamm and Louise Roberts
and Philip Kamm and Maude Roberts
will be married - in Glenwood Inn
Chapel, San Bernardino, by the Right
Rev. Joseph 'H. Johnson,' bishop- of the
diocese of Los Angeles. The bridal
party will include 10 bridesmaids, 10
ushers and tour little flower, girls, all
of whom wilL be guests at a houseparty
at the Roberts .home this week.
Mrs. Charles Kamm and her daugh
ter, Mrs. JKtnes A. McKinnon, and Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Gray Kamm leave to
morrow for the South, to be present at
the-, ceremony.
The Misses Roberts are daughters of
State Treasurer Roberts, of California,
and with their mother have made sev
eral visits to Portland. Last Spring
Mrs. Roberts and daughters visited
Mrs. William C. Knighton, of Salem
and later were entertained in Portland
The place where the honeymoon will

SCHOOIi J" ORCHESTRA
One of the feature exhibits of the "Made in Oregon" goods at the, Manufacturers and Land
Products Show has been the automatic turnstiles, or coin machines used on the main gates at
the Exposition. The machines at the Land Show are part of an order of 175 to be used at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco next year and were held here for
demonstration purposes at Portland's Exposition.- More than seventy-five of the machines will
also be used at San Diego. '
The machines at the main entrance to the Armory will be shipped to San Francisco immedi
ately on the close of the Land Show. Already the Portland-made machines are in use at the San
Francisco Exposition and were selected over many competitors after a severe test on the rapid
handling of crowds, preventing confusion and delay and proving accurate in checking the
financial tally of the day's receipts. It is the purpose of the Coin Machine Manufacturing
Company of Portland, building the Potter Automatic ' Turnstiles, to place the Portland - made
machines with the Portland stamp in expositions, fair and amusement parks over the United
States. .
i The turnstile does away with ticket selling and all expense incident to the ticket system,
eliminates the details of counting ticket stubs and checking tickets. It also prevents errors,
over-changing, .short-changing, collusion between ticket seller and ticket taker and besides indi
cates. the number of people who have passed through at any given time.
The officers of the Coin Machine Manufacturing Company are T. Irving Potter, President;
L. E. Kern, Vice-President and Treasurer; H. D. Ramsdell, Secretary, and IL C. AVortman,
W. J. Clemens, E. V.1 Eeardon and F. S. Doenbecher, Directors.
