The evlll of the crimping system . in
the port of Portlandand the eaae with
which they, could be abated by a rigid
enforcement of : the Jaw, were ; strik
ingly set. forth last evening by Gov
ernor Chamberlain at the chamber of
commerce banquet. ..The. governor's re
marks, which were called forth by some
statements bjf a preceding speaker, were
Impromptu, but were none the less force
ful and impressive. It was at the close
of his address upon "An Open River"
that Governor Chamberlain spoke of the
sailor boarding-houses jt Portland. He
said In part;., . '.
."There Is an obstruction to the com
merce of this port as serious almost as
Tb. DaUes at Celilo. and that Js the
disgrace occasioned by the crimping sys
tem In vogue in this port, and the ex
orbitant, charges which are levied upon
shipowners "by ths sailor boardlnghouse
keepers, and which eventually come out
of the pockets of every man,' woman,
and child in the state of Oregon."
After a brief explanation of the pro
visions, of the sailor boardlnghouse act
passed by the legislature one year ago.
of the recent . interpretation of the act
by the supreme court, and of the powers
of the commission empowered to regu
late such bouses, Governor Chamberlain
said: --j , ..-,v
"Under the decision of the supreme
court and the authority conferred by the
state legislature, the sailor boarding
house , . commission has the power to
stamp out the existing evils at almost
a moment's warning. Under the pres
ent law, when a sailor boardlnghouse
keeper obtains asiloem-e, he has to put
up a bond for $5,000, which la condi
tioned upon his observance of the ship
ping laws of the state. If ha Is guilty
of misconduct and his license Is revoked,
this bond can be forfeited and the board
lnghouse keeper and his bondsmen can
be compelled to pay the full amount of
the penalty of 15,000. .One or two revo
cations of license and forfeitures of bond
will suffice to compel the strict observ
ance of the law, for th. sailor boardlng
house keeper cannot afford . to pay a
15.000 fine."
The absurdity of the assertion that
the recent supreme' court decision has
deprived the sailor boardlnghouse com
tnlsslon of Its powers was convincingly
shown by the speaker, and ha declared
that the commission is vested with even
more power to enforce the law than is
possessed by the courts. .
"I promise you," , said . th. governor
in conclusion, "that with your active
and moral support, and with the support
of the sailor boardlnghouse commission,
this evil -which now disgraces our port
will b stamped out at one." 1
BROOKLYN SEWER
- IN PRIVATE LANDS
There is practically no opposition to
the proposed Brooklyn sewer, according
to the report of the committee which has
been investigating the condemnation of
a right of way. To have th. main con
dultsJollow.the streets would .necessi
tate a cost of about 160,000 extra, so it
Is desired :te scur. the .permission of
property owners to pass it through private-
lands, and as it will be laid under
ground at a depth of about 12 feet this
will ,faot damage th. property.

TO
ESTATE IN ENGLAND

KB, nm TOMS SASTSX
TBI XS BELATBB. ;
Mrs. Henry Ford, by the will of her
late husband, R R. Walker, is heir Xo an
estate of more than 150,000 In England.
The will, which was thrown out of the
Multnomah county court. Is accepted by
C. E. Soaraes, trustee of the estate, who
apparently expects tt to stand the test
of the English courts..
Reginald R. Walker died In Fulton,
January 4, 1900, leaving a will dispos
ing of property worth about $76,000,
most of It situated In England. Offered
for probate In this county, the will was
rejected because It was mad prior to
the birth of Mr. Walker's two children
rand contained no codicil recognising
their: claims. , . .
By order'of the county court that paft
of the estate lying In Oregon; worth
about 111,000, was divided, half going
to. the widow and a fourth to each of
the two children. The property In Eng
land, worth approximately 158,000, was
bequeathed ' to Mrs.' Augusta Walker,
mother of R. R. - Walker, to be held in
trust until her death, then to be dis
posed of according to tho will. In which
Mrs. Ford is sole heir,
r Mr. Walker's children, through be
quests from other . relatives, are heirs
to about $100,000, held in trust for them
until they com. of age.
Mr. and Mrs. Ford were planning to
go to Winnipeg, Man., Mr. Ford's former
home, next Saturday. The settlement of
tb. estate, however, may interfere with
the intended trip. Their first notice of
the' death of Mrs. Augusta Walker
reached Mrs. Ford only this week, and
thn turners concernlnc the estate have
been coming piecemeal all week, the
last of them arriving only today.
At the theatres
"A cjconsss HosrrMOOV."
One of the very best shows of the sea
son was the unanimous verdict from
the audience of "A Chinese Honeymoon,"
which opened at the Marquam .Grand
last night. And well it deserves the
compliment, for the production" Is red-olentjwlta-aUih.Jjlceeatures
that go
to make up an acceptable musical ex
travagania. There are pretty -. girls,
magnlflcenc costumes, a capable set of
principals, bright, catchy music, ex
travagant dressing, a. plot that is natural
and satisfying and humor that is really
what tit pretends to be. So it la jvery
easy to see why the production proved
one of 'the greatest successes In the
history of, the New York Casino.
The local theatregoers evidently had
some Inkling that the play, was going
to be 'the treat of the season, for the
house was crowded last night. And it
was an appreciative audience, too, al
most every ' number on the '. program
richly' deserving the numerous . encores
It received. Edward Clark - has a
powerful baritone voice and, - made a
splendid : Impression with the song, "I
Want to Be a Lady," and the next in
favor-; was Stella Tracey's solo, with
bridesmaid .'-chorus. "The Leader - of
Frocks and Frills." .She received half
a dosen recalls. Miss Frances Knight,
Charles Prince and W. H. Clark were
also strongly welcomed in clever musical
numbexs. ,.' . , ,i - - .
The cast Is headed by John E. Hen
shaw (on the program), and were It not
for Toby 1 Claude he would be fairly
entitled CO the honor, but Toby Claude
passes the wire at the finish a clean
winner by several ' lengths. She, Is a
diminutive little thing, and appears as
Fl Fi, a waitress. Her makeup is sug
gestive of . Sis Hopkins, but Henshaw
comes nearer describing her wonderful
and weird dress when he terms tier to bo
a sister of Sunny Jim. v
One of the : most peculiar features
About this show is that the principals
can all sing., and sing well. It is so
seldom the case that there-are more
than two or three good voices at the
head of the program that it deserves
Special mention. Charles Prince has
one of the best basso voices there is on
the stage today, and he- is also physic
ally built for the part- of Emperor Hang
Chow.' .
' The comedy element Is so richly com
plete that It makes the show one of 'the
most genuinely 'entertaining that has
been here this season. It has also been
about six weeks since the last big girlie
show was here, so the-company ought
to do a banner .business in Portland.
One of the special features of the
chorus Is the eight bridesmaids. Who
have been carefully selected for their
perfect figures and pretty faces. In
the second act they appear for the song,
"Th.' Leader in Frocks and Frills," and
wear positively the most gorgeous
gowns that have been seen on a chorus
this season. , If you miss "A Chines.
Honeymoon" you miss one of the sea
son's best offerings.'
