Washington, April Minister-Pow
ell at Haytj iiaa reported to the atate

progress at Port au Prince and at Monte

Monte Chris tl Is a little town on the
northwest ooast of Santo Domtngo and
Is the principal .port of the Dominican
republic In. the north. - 1 be people are
exceedingly hostile toward the customs
convent Ion .signed by President Morales
and the United States, because they be
lieve it is the beginning of the end of
uominican independence. . '
The revolutionary element have pub
lished the moat vicious attacks unon
Morales and the t'nited States, accusing
one or seuipg ms country and the .other
of having adopted underhanded means
to scqulre possession of It
' The present revolutions In both Haytl
and San Domingo arc being nursed by
the foreign population.1 These men have
not failed to take advantage of tha gov
ernment and the "rebels. Impartially loan
ing money to one or the 'other, holding
over tha victor .the threat of foreign
pressure unless all the debts of the
revolution are paid. ,
- The merchants understand that If the
treaty with the4 United States la con
cluded this practice must - cease and
when the news of the . negotiations
leaked out they adopted a hostile atti
tude. Tha presence of American- war
ships at the Island port has hitherto
prevented the attempts to overthrow
Morales that are 'now being made. '
.The revolutionary element can see no
benefit towards them from the conven
tion. If the United States takes posses
sion of the customs, they will And aa oc
cupation gone and must get to work, a
hitherto undreamed of come down. ..
For some time under tha direction of
the revolutionary Junta natives have
been arming ta- resist the American oc
cupation of the customs houses. This
conflict would have taken place last
January, when the preliminary protocol
waa drawn up, had It not been for the
presence of Admiral Slgsby and the
Caribbean squadron. - .
The aduoated people understand tha
need of a strong hand, but they are
afraid of that of Uncle Sam. They are,
Indeed, betwixt the devil and the deep
blue sea, between chronlo revolution and
fear of American occupation of the Is
land. . 1 .
let, when you press the peopla,-whQ
have auch widely different views as to
the policy which ahould be pursued, you
will find that all admit tha necessity of
some action which will Insure a atable
government, and that they believe it Is
hopeless toexpect reform from within.
The discussion then narrows down - to
the extent of American control, when
the further admission is made that oc
cupation of the customs houses will
certainly prevent future revolution.
. .This last, opinion la optimistic for the
present. - There are too many, profes
sional revolutlonlats waiting eagerly fur
the chanoe to obtain possession of tha
presidential chair. But the fact looms
out from . tha talk of every one that If
a - foreign government must Intervene
the government should be that of the

was on the woman's face.
A ahort exhortation by Rev. Henry

by the time J. P.- HIUIs had finished the
wonderfully expressive solo, "Come Un

Because in the 40 years since Its en

not been Invoked to prevent the opera?
tion of poolrooms for the placing of bets
on horse races, the argument of- non
user has- been applied by the -counsel
for M. G. Nease. of the Warwick Ex

convicted of conducting a poolroom.

brief contended that It is not a crime un
der Oregon lew to conduct a gambling
house although it la a crime to gamble
and that It la not competent to apply to
tne case at issue tne definition or the
common law aa to what constitutes, a
nuisance. - They claim that because In
Oregon the common law has been sup.
planted by a code of specinc statutes,
naming in - exact terms what shall be
offenses. It is not competent for the
state of Oregon, In pros ecu ting' Nease,
to read Into the Oregon statute a define
tion that waa accepted as valid under
the common law.
The brief then goes on to say, that,
because the nuisance atatute haa- never
before been Invoked to apply -to pool-
rooms In" this state, the disuse of the
law may be cited aa. tantamount to prac
tical construction by officials and judi
cial , tribunals that It does not apply.
The brief ssys: . "' '"'":. V', r
"Besides, tha lapse of the long pe
riod of over 40 years, from tha enact
ment . of this section of . ba crlminsl
code, without any attempt on' the part
of any -of the law officers or Judicial
tribunals of. the state to apply Its pro
visions to such eases aa the present,
notwithstanding their open - and eon-
tlnuoua Infraction in the same- manner
aa here, la entitled to concluaivo weight
aa a practical construction of ths mean-
Jug and operation of the same. We do
not claim-that a -criminal atatute be
comes absolute by non-uaer for a period
of 40 years, or for any other period,
however extended, but we do claim that
auch a period of non-uaer ahould be held
to preclude any doubtful construction of
the, statute, that would extend ita oper
ation and effect Inconalatant therewith.
But as . the construction liere can
herdly-be regarded as doubtful, ws need
not invoke the benefit of this principle."
Authorities cited in the brief in sup
port of the argument bf. non-user are
"Bishop, Stat. Or. (Id ed.)r sections

Tha brief of the stats of Oregon, pre

argument of ' non-user, and protests
against accepting the doctrine that be

Louis Schuman, who died as ths result
of bullet wounds inflicted by Detective
Joe Day and Daniel Welner. would him
self have been policeman today and
maybe have been taking shots at some
body had ho not got drunk.
This information was received by the
police from Detective Charles T sonant
of Seattle. Tennant statee that before
coming to Portland Schuman passed the
civil service examination for a police
officer at Seattle. What Is remarkable;
he received 00 per cent out of a possible
100. . 'i '' "
, On the day that Schuman was to don
a uniform, writes Detective Tennant
he became drunk and did , not appear
for duty. When he did make his ap
pearance ho was told that he was unre
liable1, and Chief of Police Delarrey re
fused to-allow him to go to work.
- That Schuman's career of crime did '
not begin tn Portland is shown by ths
tact that four ehargss were laid against
him In Seattle for forgery, and detec
tives were endeavoring to locate him
at the time be was killed. The warrant
for his arreet was enclosed in tha letter
sent the local . police. ' Schuman was
accused of forging the name of his em
