ON LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY, JUDGE TURNS "EMANCIPATOR" TO 53 NEGROES IN RAID "Letters From a Japanese Schoolboy" Have Sequel in Written Plaint of Tom Matsueo With His "I No Talk Much Inglis" Man Wins Right Before Court to Go About Shoeless if He Wishes. BY JERROLD OWEN. l a h montla nf the immortal Lin- I H coin fallen on the ghoulders of Municipal Judge John H. Steven son? Not quite. But the Judge is now known about the court, to lawyers, policemen and hangers-on, as "the emancipator." It came about on a Friday the an niversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. In a raid in the North End the night before Pollce-Laeutenant Harms and Officers Wise, Martin, Huntington, Tyler, Wade and Helms had caught In the police dragnet 63 colored people of both sexes. Charges of disorderly conduct had been lodged against all. Jhe afternoon of the trial the corridors of police headquarters displayed a dis tinct ebony color scheme, and the benches in the courtroom were filled with friends of the persons In custody. Those upon whom the hand of the law bad been laid overflowed the prisoners' box. . Before much eloquence had been wasted Judge Stevenson glanced at the calendar. February 12 was marked in red. The significance of the day smote htm at once, and with a magnanimous wave, in the spirit of "the emancipator." he ordered that all the negroes be freed. s Tempting fate by wearing to the Municipal Court a new . hat, whereas the traditions of the court corridors decree that such a display of vanity shall be invariably punished. Deputy Tu.i.i(.t ittnrnov Richard Delch has parted with a brand new "derby." The parting was involuntary, dui inn ue ' j nr th. atnte nvoltA to the fact that his hat was no more when the brim sagged over his ears, loiiowins a determined onslaught.

Tom Mat sueo, a Japanese, was complainant against a countryman, John Oki. "I no talk much ingus. it," said Matsueo, beamingly, as he i a - nf- n.ih Tinner. The state- uauucu , - - ment of the case was written in pencil. with many erasures, inis is a i"'""1" copy of the original document's phraseology and spelling: "In the last Friday night at the Jap restrant. 272 everett st. the man who is shoe repairer on the front of restrant stricken my an eye over the glasses and he broken some of dishes that I eating at supper.

Detective Clerk Dan Kellaher tells this one and vouches for its accuracy: A bibulous, very much so, person entered one of Portland's sky-ticklers one -day last week and careened ' into an elevator. "I wanna go-1 to Twenty-thir" shtreet," he announced. The lift was crowded and started upward without the boy in. charge troubling to eject the befuddled one. As the car surged upward the roan fell to his knees and raised his hands in supplication to the youthful pHot- "Pleash shtop," he quavered. The elevator halted at the seventh floor and the personal acquaintance of John Barleycorn tumbled out. As the car shot upward he turned and shouted defiantly: . -Shay, you're drunk. I am t gonna ride 'n your Jitney no more." Can the law' force a man to wear sh 06S No decided a Justice in North Yak ima, and Municipal Judge Stevenson has confirmed the decision. ' In both cases the defendant was the same person, John Grammar, who de clared that if the law would only let him he would be the most advanced apostle of the "back to nature move ment. In cold weather, Grammar was willing to submit to the conventions, but when skies were warm he desired freedom of movement unhampered by excess garments. " A knight of the road. Grammar could indulge in his fad to some extent while traveling, but within the confines of a city he bowed to the inevitable, his true nature asserting Itself only in his dislike for wearing shoes and hat. Grammar was arrested by Officer Bewley as he strode about , the North End with pattering bare feet. "It was pretty cold and I figured he might be a nut.'" said the patrolman, when he appeared against Grammar in Municipal Court. A charge of vag rancy was placed against the wan- ""tell yuh. Jedge. I wasn't breaking no law." quoth Grammar, displaying a knowledge of rhetoric belying his name. "I put on shoes a couple of weeks ago, when it was purty chilly, and I caught the fust cold I've had this here year. A Jedge in North Yakima tol' me there wan't no law as could purvent me from goln' without shoes ef I wanted tuh." "It's a matter of personal liberty, i guess." admitted Judge Stevenson. You don't have to wear shoes if you don t wish, but stop at' the shoes. And Grammar pattered out of the courtroom. A naive explanation of how they came into the possession of 30 Pounds of lead, believed by the authorities to have been stolen from the Southern Pacific railroad yards, was given by Julius Pierre and Walter Lane, who ap peared' in Municipal Court last week. It seems that these two young men tired of the enervating influence of city surroundings and went for a walk along the railroad tracks to where the ozone was clear and fresh. A few miles outside of Portland they came to a pile of twisted railroad iron and Junk lying at the side of the road. Their keen eyes discerned sections of lead piping among the rubbish. Knowing the value of such, they picked it up. and. to their surprise, found a sack lying conveniently by. They put the Most Attractive List of Specials!

The com panies supplied their records on "h"" 2 000,000 lives, covering a period of 2i years. It is the largest and most com prehensive Investination ever under taken by insurance companies any where. The object of the investigation was to determine from past experience the types of lives among which the com panies had a higher mortality than the average. The results of the investiga tion have appeared in four volumes, and tho fifth is in press. It has taken the Central Bureau about three and a half years of continuous labor to pro duce the results, using the most up-to-date machinery in the way of electric sorters and tabulators. The insured were divided Into many classes, of which the following are the chief groups: 1.
