Chief of Police Hunt has verbally
Chastised his officers for not reporting to
him persons who were selling lottery
tlckata and during his talk the head of
the department spoke plainly telling hla
men that no lottery business was to be
permitted In Portland. Every violation
of this order must be reported by the
officers.
The strict Instructions came after the
chief had had an interview with Mayor
Williams, during which the latter told
the police chieftain that he would not
permit lottery telling In Portland, by
Chlneee, white men or any one elee,
The mayor eta ted that the law muat
be enforced.
In hla own behalf the chief told the
.mayor that he knew of no white men
" dealing In lottery tfeketa and lie re
ported to hla superior yesterday to the
effect that he had been unable to And
any whit men dealing In tickets of the
lottery variety. He also reported that
he thought the Chines were not vio
lating the law since' the recent raid.
Th Celestials, 4 In number, who
, .were caught In the raids on the lot
teries two weeks ago, will be tried
. Friday unless a further' continuance I
granted, which Is not likely. In the
I meantime their attorneys have been
'planning a line of - attack and it is
thought ' probable that there will be
soma surprises In store. While It is
believed that the defendants are in a
losing light if the police persist in the
determination to stop lottery games, but
It is whispered that the Chines mar
,invok th law to prevent other gam.
bling games.
' Th Chinese have asked the police for
an equal chance with tne white gam'
biers. They want to pay for the prtvl
leg of running their games and they
ar willing to enrich the city treasury.
They say it is not fair to shut them up
and to allow other forms of gambling
to exist Neither is It fair to permit
whit men to deal In lottery-tickets and
- fore them out of business.
Chief Hunt says that no lottery tickets
ar being sold in the city. But the
'wise ones -say that the pasteboards can
be purchased at a number of down town
places, but the proprietors ar careful
not to sell them to Chief Hunt or any
of his officers or detectives. A little
effort or some detective work, it is said,
would soon result in stamping out, the
business.
-1 Mayor Williams hat heretofore ex
pressed himself In strong terms regard
ing th selling f lottery tickets and
be says that if he can prevent It none
will be disposed of In this city. He
believes that the lottery Is the most
pernicious form of gambling and the
police must stop it :
Arthur Anderson. aged 1. wan In
stantly killed st the warehouse of w

. .. .A small fortune of 12.000 is lying
omewher around Portland, perhaps un
noticed by the people who throng the
City's principal shopping district.
-A small purse is missing and In the

Mrs. Greenberg usually carries a small
satchel In her hand in which Is Inclosed
a smaller pocketbook. It is this pocket
book that la missing.
Mrs. Greenberg went to a downtown
department store yesterday and after
snaking some purchases she went to her
: purse to find the change. The money
for the articles was taken out of the
little packet and It was then put back
Jnto the satchel or Mrs. Greenberg pre
sumes that it was.
But the little purse containing two
fine diamond rings, one of them worth
11.000, another diamond and some gold
and silver coins, was missing when Mrs.
Greenhurg looked for it in Henrlckson's
Jewelry store, where she went to deposit
her Jewels after leaving the department
tore.
Whether she left her valuables on the
counter of the department store, after
taking from it the money to pay for
her purchases and her handkerchief. Is
unknown to Mrs. Greenberg, for it was
: not missed until the jewelry store was
: reached. ?
Th story of the loss was kept quiet
from th employes of the department
tore, but a constant search is being
made all along the line of Mrs. Green -berg's
travels on her day of ill-fortune.
"It must not be; we won't stand for
It." and Chief Hunt's foot came down
Ith a dull thud yesterday after M.
Morris had told his tale of woe.
Morris, who looks like a staid busi
ness man, was enticed into Sally White's
notorious colored Joint at 243 H Everett
street yesterday, and says he was
robbed of f 21. Immediately Chief Hunt
ordered Patrolmen Goltx and Roberts
to raid th place.
In the police not Sallie White. Frances
Wooldrldge, Jennie Anderson and Patsy
Bolivar were caught and charged with
being inmates of a disreputable re
sort. A second charge of larceny from
the person wss lodged against the
Wooldrldge woman. The cases will be
tried tomorrow.
The dive cam into notoriety a couple
or months ago when several thefts were
reported. Th panel game was worked
then, and in spite of police warnings
the robberies have again occurred. Sev

from Mr. Crittenton to arrange the

following statement:
"The meeting of the board of mana

noon was very harmonious and acting
upon the recommendation of the advi

the resolution favoring the tranJrfer of
the property to the National Florence

Charles N. Crittenton wlH come 'to
Portland to organise the new board and
the question of Mrs. Rlggs' retention
will be in his hands. -

would be done, regarding the superin
tendent. The members of the advisofy board pf
the . local home are: Charles Ladd. I.
H. Amos. M. J. Kinney, A. J. Hamilton
and William Wadhsms.
"I do not regard this as a party meet
lng, said Mr. Chamberlain. I am no
longer a party leader, but an outsider.
I do not think it right to raise any
exclusive party issues, but after what
has occurred since the , meeting at
Sheffield, a wor4 or, two might be given
me to .say that, though I am no longer
a leader, I am still a loyal servsnt to
the party whose union and strength is
essential to the welfare of the empire,
and which has found a leader whom
every man may be proud to follow."
The speaker paid the highest tribute
to Mr. Balfour, with whose principles and
policies he fully agreed, and said he ad
mired the courage and resource with
which the premier had faced difficulties
unsurpassed in political history. Mr.
Chamberlain continuedr
"It seems as though In this country
there have always been men who do not
know the meaning of loyalty and friend
ship. To them I say that nothing they
may do will have the slightest influence
to affect In the slightest degree the
friendship and confidence existing be

friends and supporters In the great
struggle On which I have entered, I say,
give no encouragement to mean or

All bills which had been contracted
in the construction of the steamer Tele
phone, lying at the foot of Davis street,
were paid . Monday afternoon by Capt.
Cochran, and this morning he left for
Seattle.
Excepting the carpenters no one
seemed to to be worrying about any un
certainty of receiving what money was
due them. Every day since the publi
cation of the owners intimated finan
cial embarassment a number of painters
and several machinists continued at
work. As a matter of fact, according
to th most reliable authority. It was
never seriously believed by any of those
employed about the vessel that they
would be. beaten ojut of their .wages.
When the carpenters quit all work in
their line was practically completed and
they would, had to- bav quit anyhow,
whether they felt so or not After the

there will be about, two days more of

had come to Portland upon Invitation
of W. M. Ladd, seconded by the Cham
ber of Commerce. The persons present
represented most of the various classes

At the Arlington club, prior to the

Senator C. W. Fulton presided at the
meeting. He yielded the gavel " long
enough to take Issue with the policy of
the government as to forest reserves, -
Mr. Plnchot explained that the govern

ditions to the conservation of local -Industrie!
Interests. If lumber dealing
wera the principal Industry, the re
spTves wouldbe- handled so as to assist -the
lumber industry. If mining were
the more important, the reserve policy
would be suited to the needs of the
miners. He asserted that In localities
further east, where at first violent pro
tests were made against the reserve
policy, the people are now for It.
Senator Fulton offered a plan differ
ing radically from that now effective-
that the government retain the land, al
low the rutting of timber, but regulate
the growth of timber after the first cutting.
Mr. Plnchot took the ground that this
would work to the benefit of the large
corporations and against the small
operator, and the settler, for the reason
that the corporation only could handle
the timber In large tracts for the fogs
only, end the settler would be barred
from using the public lands In any mari
ner. ' . '
"If the people will be patient," said
the forestry expert, "they will learn .
eventually that the government proposes
to protect the Interests of the Individual
against the aggressions of the greedy
corporations. It Is the smaller against
the larger that always actuates .the
properly controlled government"
He epitomised the government's whole
policy thus:
"Use will govern the government' In
determining whether or not to retain
lands In present withdrawals.- th use
for which the land may best be devoted.
And, when th matter shall have been
thoroughly determined, I am confident
it will be found that the rights of the.
'individual has been protected, snd the
larger Interests prevented from Infring
ing upon them."
BARTENDERS ARE
BUSY ALL NIGHT
Notwithstanding the recent agitation
regarding tha violation of the 1 o'clock
closing ordinance by a number , of
saloons, it is said that these places .are
still selling liquors all night.
The police say that the doors are
locked, and if people remain behind the
closed doors after the time set 'for
closing they are powerless to act, be
cause, the court has ruled that a man
has alright to remain inside after hqurs,
if he wishes to. The officers on th
beats say that as the curtains are drawn
and they cannot see what is being (tone
they cannot prove that business is
being transacted and therefore cannot
testify that the law has been violated..,
They used to ring the cash registers
so we could hear them out on the
street," said a policeman today, "but
they have stopped this lately. The chief
has ordered us to cIom the saloons, hut
whst can we do. - We find the doora
closed and can't break in. We can't
arrost the men who come out, and we
can't see them selling liquor." f-
But it is a noteworthy fact that the
ordinary saloonkeeper who has no
gambling house connected with his Jbai
Is compelled to close on time. , ,
It is asserted that while the saloons
of the gambling trust do close their
front doors at 1 a. m., entrance to the
bar rooms is no difficult matter. The;
doors to the club rooms are open, nil
the time, and from the gambling qvjar
ters there Is an entrance to the place
where liquors are dispensed. In fact,
waiters are engaged in serving drinks
to the gamesters all the time, and it t
stated that bartenders and waiters are
hired to work from l p. m. through,th
