Hair hung down his back and as he assumed a dramatic pose it was feared he might try to ; hypnotise Judge Hogue. . PaulF. Kissner, charged with drunk- .enness, - was . repentant. Politely and . firmly lie answered the questions of the court- ' Possibly he had been drunk but as a general .thing he didn't mean to be come intoxicated. If he had been drunk it vm entirely;, unintentional on his ,? part -, .'I-.-'. The officer iold how Kissner, during the early morning hours, fortified him ,, self In the rear of a north end Japanese restaurant. When told to come forth from his barricade he shied sticks of wood at his pursuers. One of them struck a window shattering the pane -and the patience of, the restaurant pro- prietor. "I can't remember what I did." he ex- plained, '"but I . guess what -they say about me is true,' said the long, haired ' genius as he smiled upon the court "What did you drink yesterday T' he . was asked. "Well. I was drinking sherry mixed with a little brandy. I had perhaps 20 of them." ' Kissner told the court that he was a violin maker, having come to Portland from Springfield, 111., two months ago. As he spoke he clutched wildly at hla forehead and seemed to be in dire straits. At last he shouted; "I have it the se cret of my evil luck. I began business ,in Portland on Friday, the lith of No-' .vember." ; , Judge Hogue suspended a fine, of 15 :.. and the violin maker went his way re joicing. ' GAMBLING RESUMED.

THREE ALARMS BUT NO DAMAGE DONE ThA flr ' riftnartment has had three calls In the last 2 hdurs, none of which proved of any consequence. A chimney fir. at 767 Kant Ankenv street, shortly before 6 o'clock last evening, was the cause of the call from box us. une apparatus had long and heavy runs, but there was no work -for them upon ar rival. . . The second alarm from box 46, shortly after 6 p. m., was wholly unnecessary. Rnarlra rnmlnar from a chimney in A dwelling at Seventeenth and Flanders streets frightened some one, wno puueu the box and gave the firemen another long run. ' Tha third on was this morning, whon a personal service call was ' received from a meat market at lei . ourtn trpor The woodwork in' the attic miinii a. rhimt caueht fire, and re sulted in the loss of a few shingles. IMPERIAL ORDER - DIDN'T GO FORTH (Journal Special Service.) Washington. Jan. Jl. "Wear your court uniform to every White House function, whether an evening reception. Friday evening muaicale or weekly after noon reception given by Mrs. Kooseveit," was the word which has sped from the Hps of one diplomat to another. This was a request from the White Hduse to Count Casslnl. the Russian ambassador. and dean of 4he dtplomatio corps. Sec retaries and attaches told one another. They were talking about it at all Wed nesday afternoon "at homes" frequented by the diplomatic corps, as well as in the clubs. It now appears that most of the diplomats Jumped to a wrong conclusion. There still will be no radical cnange, the request merely refers to the recep tion of the president held today for the Judiciary. Diplomats have been satis fied. SOUTH AMERICA IS AGAIN BOILING OYER (Journal RpecUl Service.) Washington, D. C, Jan. 21.A state department dispatch from Minister Finch at Montevideo, Uruguay, was re ceived today, stating that three battles were won by the government The last was on the 18th, and , the killed and wounded number 600.. The rebels are in full retreat toward Braxll, hotly pur sued by the government forces of 28.000 men. The rebels number 9,000. The opinion here Is that the. insurrection will be suppressed within tha month un less aided by neighboring states. Press reports say the telegraph censorship continues. Martial law is also in force. 8XXTXSK OVEXCOHE BEBELS. London, Jan. II.

A FACER FOR SCOTT (Continued from Page One.) and for a house to bouse canvass of the voters., t "We must explain to them," said Judge Seton, "that while two years ago we fought to get the independents in and the regulars out. now we believe the regulars should stay in end the Inde pendents' should stay out." t Judge Carey has not yet announced his selections for th managing -committee of nine. - "Jack" Matthews wHl probably not be one of the chosen, for it is deemed essential to the success of the machine to maintain the Action that he is "out of politics." , He will, of course, continue to take a very active part In the conduct of the campaign, for he has no intention of abandoning-his grip upon the county organisation, but it will be. the effort of the Mitchell Republicans to keep him in the background as much as possible. Possibilities of the Bine. '" Frank Baker is another troublesome problem to the dominant Republican fac tion and has been mentioned in-some quarters. as a probable member of Judge Carey's advisory . committee. It is not lUteiy, however, that Mitchell Republl cans would like to advertise' such a con splcuous example of the policy of re warding deserters from the Simon ranks. Baker owes everything he has to Simon. The latter made him state printer at a time when he was virtually-penniless. and out of that office Baker amassed a fortune. When Simon went down to de feat. Baker promptly went over to Mitch ell. His reward was his appointment to the. chairmanship of the Republican state central committee. Most of his new political associates think that ought to hold him for awhile and that there is no good of heaping further honors uton mho iicau, uiucbb ji ia twBoiuieiy neces- sary in order to insure his fldelity.la the coming fight Whitney Boise may be one of the com mittee of nine, and either P. L. Willis or his- son Guy is likely to be One of those chosen. A. A. Cpurteney. Thad Potter, Herbert Hoi man. Dr. Clark, Ca tor Powell, C W. Hodson and A. J. Cap ron are among those mentioned as pos sible members of the committee. As yet. however. Judge Carey has not made public the names of the men whom he desires to act, and he may adopt the pol icy of enlisting more of the younger ele ment and of men who have not hitherto played so conspicuous a part in factional politics. Address to the PabUe. The address to the nubile. adoDtedv the central committee, is as follows: ine Republican city and county com mittee announces to the people of the city of Portland and Multnomah county that the primary election will be held some time near the first of April, at a date to be fixed by the county clerk. Voters residing in the city must regis ter to entitled them to vote. , The reg istry Is now open at the courthouse. The vital questions to be determined by the Republican party at the primaries are whether a delegation favorable to the nomination of President Roosevelt will be sent from Oregon to the national Republican convention at Chicago, and wnetner uenator John H. Mitchell of Oregon will be elected to another term in the United States senate. This committee hereby declares most emphatically in favor of both President Roosevelt and Senator Mitchell, and, so far as the committee can properly do so, It pledges the delegates upon the regu lar ticket to be voted upon at the primaries to their support. The importance of a clear announce ment upon these matters .becomes the more necessary because it Is currently reported that ex-Senator Simon and his associates propose to contest the regu lar ticket at the primaries, and by put ting up opposition delegates, to seek to secure control of the party conventions. Mr. Simon's course in politics In Oregon is well known and is well il lustrated by the fact that on his return from Washington he publicly announced his bitter and Irreconcilable hostility to President Roosevelt, accusing him of violating his word, and denouncing htm as being unworthy of respect, and, yet, notwithstanding these public utterances, he has recently announced through the columns of the Oregonlan that he ex pects to support President Roosevelt for reelection. It needs no argument to. show that if Mr. Simon prevails In the primaries and there is a contest in the national convention, his influence will be used to defeat President Roose velt's nomination. . Prior to the election of 1896 Mr. Si mon In like manner announced that he expected to support Senator Mitchell for reelection to the United States senate, but after that election he combined with Democrats and Populists to hold up the legislature and thus prevented Senator Mitchell's election, although the latter was the unanimous . choice of .-theRe-publlcan caucus in the legislature, com prising a majority of all of the mem bers of that body. - Senator Mitchell's reelection to the senate at the close of his present term depends In great measure upon the re sult of the coming primaries. This committee believes that the interests of the state of Oregon at Washington can be best served by Senator Mitchell, and that to substitute another in his place wilt be most disastrous to the state. Oregon needs the help of the general government in the development of her waterways, and Is deeply interested in the promotion of beneficial legislation in congress.. No one In Oregon Is so well equipped by experience and by his natural quali fications as Senator Mitchell to repre sent the state in. the United States sen ate and to secure for the state the ap propriations necessary to enable ,thls city IA maintain her commercial suprem acy. The bitter hostility of ex-Senator Simon and his political associates to Senator Mitchell is well known, and this committee therefore calls upon the Re publicans of Multnomah county to keep In mind that at the very time Senator Mitchell Is urging upon congress the Unprecedented appropriations demanded for the improvement of our river and harbor and for the Lewis and Clark fair, the primaries in his home city will de cide whether his efforts are to be sec onded and hla industry and , enterprise approved, or whether he is to be denied the support of his constituents And to be refused the recognition his valuable services have merited. ( The administration of the fiscal affairs of the county and city during the past two years has been most remarkable for its efficiency and most gratifying for Its economy and business-like meth ods. During last year the county debt was cut down $210,000, and there was a saving of $117,000 in the actual opera ting expenses, as compared with the previous year under the Simon admin istration. Frauds have been detected, suits to uncover corrupt and illegal tax settlements . have been prosecuted, the books of the varlbus departments have been experted and the public service has been, greatly improved. : In like manner the affairs of the city have- been handled for the best inter- eat of our cltlsens. During 1803 nearly SO miles of pavement has-been laid in the street of the city and nearly 70 miles of sidewalk, including some (0 miles of cement sidewalk These as tonishing figures have but to be stated to make 'it apparent that,' under the present administration of the city, the complaint that; was so universal prior to the last election that Portland was the worst paved city of Its site and wealth In the union, can no longer Justly by made. The value of the street lm- - "A satisfied cus tomer is a good advertisement. Our Pianos... Are the seeds with which we prop- agate our business. Poor seed ' : would make a poor business.

The rotten and unsafe bridges and elevated roadways that -the present city officials have had to deal with are gradually being re moved and restored; over 1J ml)es of sewers have been laid'; aro lights, have been substituted for incandescent lights throughout the city; the street cleaning and sprinkling have been handled ef fectively for. the first, time In many years; a paid fire department Is about to be established; and throughout the city departments, with the possible ex ception of the police department, the public - service . has been efficient and most exemplary. Under this Republican administration, a new Morrison street bridge, a new Al blna ferry, a new Sell wood ferry and a new fireboat nave been provided for, and the new drydock is rapidly ap proaching completion.' : In all these great undertakings the present Republican administration' has kept the promise made prior to the last election. No charge of corruption, mal feasance or defalcation has been made, and every' effort has been made to cor rect the abuses, frauds and mismanage ment that prevailed under former ad ministrations. This committee, therefore, in a siting the support of the citixens of Multno mah county to the regular Republican ticket at the primaries, does so with a proud confidence that the record made In the past gives assurance for the fu ture, and that no unprejudiced Repub lican Voter will find ground for oppo sition to the party. " The election of Senator Mitchell we consider the para mount and most important issue to be determined, and we sincerely hope that all threats of opposition may prove un founded and that the Republican party will stand undivided and present a solid front to the common i enemy.
