Want Dens Closed. -
Since th Climes gin mUla of Port
. land bv been brought Into auch un
favorable light. Chief of Folic- Grits
macber baa determined to ask the city
council to revoke the licensee wnicn
a-lva the orientals the right to sell
"'. llauors. Tb chief will go further still.
He will take up with the federal author

government and endeavor to nave mem
rescinded. ..-.. , .
-There Is no question In my - mind
that the sin milt Is the great curse of
' . Chinatown," said "Chief -arltsmaohsr this
morning, "and one of the greatest evils'
of tb - as. - It t ui ns out more crlmr
lnals than we have any idea, of.- Those
' ' Door, depraved wretches who become
. victims of the vile stuff sold there will
sell tbe shirts off their back to get
i the ioleon and finally they will steal
anything they can get their hands on.
i - "Sine the cold weather set tn we
, have had - perhaps a dosea complaints
' : from families who have lost axes and
''hatchets-Mail stolen by the men who car
ried In end split the wood, and wbo are
the principal patrons of the Iniquitous
gin shops. They take these axes either
to the Chinaman snd pawn them lor
- drink or two, or to a second-hand store.
. People do not watch thes men as close
ly as they should. - Frequently valuable
' articles are stored in the asm base
ment that th wood la thrown Into. It
- Is an easy matter for the wood, man to
: ' leave a cellar window open and watch
his opportunity to slide In and loot The
- loss may. not b discovered for dsys to
come, and there Is scant prospect or ap
prehendlng th thief after he has dis
posed of fa 1 Plunder. v
"There Is only one- way 4o deal ' with
tb situation. ' That is to revoke the 11-
; censes of the gin mills.-' And I am going
to ask the council to do it." -
Quen.. Tung. . an - educated . Chines
raised In Portland and deeply Interest
ed In th reformation of his race, is
making a-deep study of th evils In
Chinatown. Until the recent notoriety
given them, fa bad 'never heard of con
ditions In the Chines saloons. To sat-
lafy himself of th true stit of af
fairs, Quen Tong donned a suit of
" clothing far beneath his station last
night and made s tour of th gin mill.
In each place he passed as a stronger
. and pretended to be looking for a cousin.
, . "What I saw was enough' to oonvlnce
tn that those places should go," re
marked th Chines thla morning, "and
. I hope th ehief of police will ' act
promptly. Only America n men go there.
But tbey or talserabto holes aad stoat

Activity of Proeecutioar 1 , "
' United States District Attorney Bris
tol said this morning In th federal
court that he might be obliged to leave
the stat within a few days, under or
der from th department of Justloe.
After leaving th . courtroom he said
that he had been notified that he might
be required to go to northern California,
but be had a yet received no instruc
tions as to tb purpose of th trip.
It ia suDooaed that the a-overnment Is
plsnning further investigations of" the
huge land rauds which were perpetrated
in the richly timbered areas of Califor
nia's northern counties, and that. Mr.
Bristol Is to b sent to aid in this work,
possibly with the Idea of establishing a
greater degree of co-operation between
the district attorneys of th two states.
Th recent discoveries of enormous
frauds In Oregon school lands have led
to the belief, that th full magnitude of
th .operations of th Puter-McKlnley
ring has not yet been ascertained. Th
same is believed to be true of th Hyde-
Dlmond-Benson ring,, and It is well
known that extensive frauds war perpe
trated in Humboldt, Siskiyou and other
northern counties of California, which
thus far hare escaped investigation. -
If District Attorney Bristol should be
sent to California It will probably be
token renewed activity on the part of
me government in running aown tne
land frauds tn that state. .
