District Attorney Manning iitated thin morning to The Journal that he thought it time Bomethlng was

If Chinese lotteries are to be permitted to operate openly and above board within 60 feet of the police station, that

Two Chinese dens were raided last
night by deputy sheriffs, acting upon
orders from District Attorney Manning.
The officers arrested 11 Chinese, among
them the proprietors of the two lot
teries raided. These are all In custody
and will be rigidly prosecuted. Their
preliminary hearings will occur tomor
row In the Police Court.
District Attorney Manning stated this
morning that the time haa come when
something must be done to protect the
city from individuals who apparently
have been reaping a harvest through
granting privileges to lotteries and other
gambling houses to operate.
"If Chinese lotteries are to operate
Within 60 feet of the Police Station."
said District Attorney Manning to The
Journal, "I think It time something Is
done to reward the city. I am determ
ined that gambling shall not run in
Portland unless the city receives a hand
some reward.
Wo Definite Charges.
"I do not wish to make charges
against any Individual, or any set of
men, but I know of one instance when
the District Attorney's office took
charge of gambling affairs and turned
Into the City Treasury more than $10.
000 inside of six months. It looks as
though some one must have been re
ceiving at least a portion of that amount
previously. For all 1 know, the same
thing may be going on now.
The reason I took action last night
was that I was aware thut the laws
were being violated. 1 thought the city
should be paid, if the Chinese were to
be allowed to operate. I shall prosecute
the cases right down the line, and will
not tolerate any escape from Justice."
The Instance alluded to by District
Attorney Manning in his interview was
undoubtedly the crusade inaugurated by
Oeorge E. Chamberlain, formerly Dis
trict Attorney, and now Governor.
Chamberlain did a lot of work In con
nection with gumbllng operations,
causing large sums to lie paid Into the
City Treasury. lie instituted raids
every month against gamblers and pro
prietors of gambling dens, and they
were heavily fined.
Manning la Determined.
District Attorney Manning was asked
this morning If he Intended Inaugurat
ing a monthly system of fines, to which
he replied as follows;
"1 propose to guard the Interests of
the people. I cannot at this time state
JiiKt exuctly my position on these mat

SBATTXiB, Wash., rQ. 10. The special grand jury which haa been In
TMtlgmting th various scandals growing out of municipal corruption has.
dropped a bombshell In th camp of th grafters.
rourtn true bills were returned by th grand Jury this morning
against men alleged to h responsible for th conditions that oaUed th
inquisitorial body into existence.
Until th man indicted are arrested thalr names will not be divulged.
Zt is generally understood, however, that persons high In authwrlty are '
among those named. . zt is believed that Chief of Xolic Sullivan, ' polio
captain, three patrolman and on member of th City Counoil hav been
Indicted.
Chief Sullivan says he does not believe he is Included, but his opinion ,
is not shared by other people.
Th contents of th lndlotment may not be known until tonlfht or
tomorrow.
Th action of th grand jury has created a great sensation her, al ;
though It was not unempeoted. Zt has been generally known that members
of th police department and others would be indicted, provided sufficient
evidence could be procured to warrant this action. Zt is supposed that
th testimony of John Clancy and John Considlne, th former boss gamb
lers of settle and rulers of th tenderloin, had much to do with th in
dlctments filed today.

ETIQUETTE AIND TRUSTS.
"Th Associated Press is th souro of less than on-half th news
published in the Oregonian. Th remainder and larger part Is worked up
' by th Oregonlan's own individual and private enterprise. This paper
maintains writers, newsgatherers, correspondents, at all prlnelpal places in
the Pacific Worth west. , Also at New York and Washington; and It has cor
respondents at San Francisco, Denver, Salt loth, Chioago and many other
places, on whom it calls when it wants . any special report from those
places, zt pays all thes parsons for their work. When th legislatures
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho assembled last month, th Oregonian
rat off special representatives from Portland to th capitals of those
states, to writ up and to wire reports to It. This work is still in pro
gress. Th collection of this news and th transmission of it by telegraph
costs the Oregonian a larg sum of money. Is th news so obtained, at
th Oregonlan's own effort and expens, its own property, or not?"
The above is the. introduction to an editorial of cdnslderable length in
the morning contemporary of The Journal. It Is In substance the argu
ment that bears the most weight in the article the balance pf which con
tains the same reasoning that the morning Issue of the newspaper trust of
.Portland has advanced since the discussion started, vlt: "It is'nt a mon-;
opoly because we say It isn't." a . . f
The Journal is delighted to find that regarding the value of the Associated
Press report in a news way, the morning, paper declares that the associa
tion is "the source 01 less than one-half" its. telegraph news. The Journal
knows that the Associated Press franchise Is of little value to an up-to-date
newspaper, but to one that is only half way up-to-date it has a half
ftVf.Jue at least Therefore the trust should be dealt with leniently for it
"w-wits Jbut little here below and wants that little long." T
But it is hard to understand how an association of gentlemen and
they ceqtalnly appear to be gentlemen should so far forget each other's
desires for news that they should force a suffering member, holding four
exclusive life memberships, to go out of his way to buy news! Think of
the outrage! An Insult, a studied Insult!
Brother Scott would do well to go right back to New York and tell all
those rude people of '.the club that he will give three of his franchises
right up. That would in a sense relieve the Senate from its awTtward pre
dicament of deciding between the plain people and a monopoly.
A gentleman, should never forget that he Is a gentleman, and Brother
, Scott may relieve his fellow clubmen, and fellow clubbedmen. the Senatbrs,
from a very bitter political pill, by declaring In the open that he Is only
one man and not four. 1 -

Harold Freston.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 10. Harold
Preston, late defeated candidate for the
United States Senate from the State of
Washington, was a witness before the
grand Jury late yesterday afternoon.
His appearance before the Jury caused
somewhat of a sensation and has caused
all kinds of suggestions as to what it
really meant.
As nearly as can be learned ait this
time, Preston was asked concerning
certain political matters pertaining to
the defeat for the State Senate of Oeorge
IT. Piper, political boss and late cam
paign manager for Mayor Humes. It
was openly charged by the press of Seat

department moneys to pay expenses of
his personal campaign as well as that of

Mr. Preston refused to discuss his

(Journal Special Service.) V
SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 10. The rela- -tlons
between the grand Jury and Pro- .
cuting Attorney Scott are badly sprained, .
The chief difficulty arose over the al-
leged fact that Scott has too many '
political debts to pay, and that his hands '
are tied on that account. There is no t
telling where the matter will end. dt
may be that a new man will be depu
tized to take charge of the grand Jury, t
The business men who met 8aturdayr
requested him to deputize a man, and
he promised to think it over and answer
by this afternoon. ,
There had prevailed an Impression '
that Scott was making a "whitewash" -affair
of the work of the grand Jury.
This impression, however, was somewhat
lessened today by the return of the In- '
dictments. Although this has changed .
public opinion In a measure, still it is
believed that Scott will be ousted, and a
that another will take up the roll of ,
grand Jury prosecutor. This cannot b
done, however, without Scott's consent,
as he is the only man who can appoint
or deputize one to act in his place. .
Indeed, there Is talk about uie city
today to the effect that the grand Jury
is about done with its work, and that -there
will be no further need of a prose
cutor to take Scott's place. It is ap
gued that in the 14 Indictments there '
must be Included a large number of
those who have been figuring in munlol-
pal operations officially. Therefore, '
many argue, the Jury surely nas but r
little more to do,W.Ith the evidence '
which is known to have beeft-rrvem-41

more Indictments against minor officials,
but not probably against high offlolals.
springs, I understand, from the fact
that u street railroad between the two
places f does not run down certain
streets."
v A Portland Bill.
Malarkey declared that no friend of
Portland 'would put a straw in the way
of the bill's passage.
Representative Whealdon made a con
vincing argument In support of the bill,
presenting an array of facts and figures
that showed a thorough study of the
subject.
He drew a striking picture of the vast
benefits that would result if the road
should be built and replied In detail to
the arguments advanced by Oault.
The previous question was demanded
by Hodson of Multnomah. On roll call
I'urdy took occasion to present his rea
sons for voting against the bill.
Noes were: Cantrell. Cornett. Gault.
Huntley. Olwell. Paulsen. Pierce, Web
