CHIEF WITNESS ; r ll Believed Man Murderously 5 . Assaulted Has Been ; ' Spirited Away. iioomn noomu AURAL Quit a stir was created In the police court this morning when It was dlscov ,ered that the prosecuting witness In the case against J. J. Crawford, James Mil der and Thomas' McQIynn. charged with i. assault with a dangerous weapon, was " missing and.eoiild not be located by the police or his friends. Officers were sent , ' out and are still engaged tn the search jifor thevjnlsaing man. - About 10 days asro Bemadotte Mick. ; ' ele, an elderly Italian railroad laborer, ' was assaulted ' In his 1 tent at Sey ' mour ' avenue and First street by '( three." men. The' purpose of the as - sault was robbery, but. as Mickele had deposited his money in a safe place a . few hours before,-his assailants got lit : tie. -They did. however, give the old man a terrible beating, inflicting in juries that made it necessary to send , him to a hospital. f t ; The police arrested Crawford, Miller 'and McOlynn and charged them with the commission ef the crime. Mickele left ' the hospital and appeared In court when .the case was called last Tuesday, but since that time has not' been seen by any of his friends. He did not return to the hospital or to his former plaoa of residence. His hospital fees are being paid by the railroad company, and It was his Intention to return there after going to court Tuesday. His friends fear that some one Interested In the defense of the three men charged with the mur derous assault may have spirited Mick- "tie away in order to keep htm from tes tifying against the accused men.

Sixty thousand letters are being pre pared by the Portland headruarters of the , OMental Exclusion league - which will be sent to avery voter in the, state asking him to use his' Influence to se cure the enactment of a new federal ltv aaalnst oriental. ' . "Letters are also being prepared which will be sent to every public" Dfflclal In the. state from United States senators down and which will call upon them to take a public stand either for' or against the exclusion act. ' . J The campaign against the orientals which include, the Japanese parucu larly but also the CoreanS, Hindus and nthara win ha niihliclv launched at a monster mass meeting to be held Janu ary la In Art on hall on Stark between First and Second streets. Among the sneakers will be Senator tiearin ana John A. Jeffrey as well aa. other well- known speakers. V, r' , , Tomorrow nlsht a meeting of dele gates to the leagues will be held In Drew hall, when arrangements for the mass meeting will be gone over-ana u possible completed. The campaign against the orientals has been going, on quietly for some time. Secretary J. D. M. Crock well of th league has mailed letters to mo fraternal, civic, relialous . and ' edxca' tinnal aocietlea of tha state asking them to work In conjunction with the Exclu sion league to get all the data on the question of oriental Immigration possi ble before the congressmen and the people as a wnoie ana- to maae a care ful Investigation of the reasons alleged whv tha orlentala should be Drohlblted from Immigrating to" the United States. , "It Is our aim to reach every voter In the state." said Mr. Crockwell "and we are busy having circular letters rlnted sand mailed. A law is to ds rouaht before the present congress by Senator Hayes of California asklng-that the restrictions to. Chinese Qmmlgration be extended so as to cover all oriental fieoples. .We, want something along the lne of the Oeary exclusion act, only we want it made stronger ana more sweep ing in Its effects. "Thera Is no doubt but that If Japanese Immigration keeps up at the present rate that before long the whites will be subverted to the orientals In the Pacific coast states. The Japanese are Immoral and can live. . much more cheaDlytluui-the whites. Their mer chants are driving out American mer chants, their laborers are driving out American laborers and their farmers are driving out American farmers. In California the Sacramento valley is given -over almost altogether to Chinese and Japanese. It is not a question for the labor unions alone nor one that they tan handle without help. All classes -of DeoDle sre Invited to assist in the .work of noif protection. It must come some time and the sooner the easier." m ' Perfect-fitting glasses $1 at Metzgera.

A detailed announcement of the same will be made In a short time and it, will be a "posler" Indeed. It will also Include a statement about opening tip the men's tailoring depart ment again, the latter I already know a good deal aDout so i am . not stuaying much on that But that grocery con cern appears to afford me an unlimited field for study and Investigation. There seems to be hundreds of little and big things connected with a grocery not to speak of women's tempers spoiled, husbands' stomachs ruined and babies' health Impaired on account of groceries. The first thing that attracted my at tention was sugrtr, beginners or babies are always attracted to sugar. Well, at first I couldn't see why it was that a dollar's worth of sugar wasn't always the same size package, yet would weigh the same, and I concluded that to obvi ate this seeming discrepancy, all grocer ies should nave an aosoiuteiy water proof roof on the building in which they are kept I have decided -that will set tle that " The rotten apple question seemed easy to me, that is simply not to buy them for your stock but the wormy apple which Is evidence of the negll- genceanf tne grower was a litue naroer proposition, but it occurred to me u Mr. Burbank will deliver a coreless,' seedless apple there would be no wormy apples, and I expect to do my part to nasten tnis result. I am still studylng'on the proposition as to why it Is that honey Is generally iter ana spring man Then the question of START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT WITH A POLICY IN , o txv (j I jegtro 1 1 ife ; THE POLICYHOLDERS' COMPANY ' .V.'it:-.:" ... - .-.

Then tl flour. .That always was a-pusxle and source of wonderment to me even while a small boy, when I 'used to ride the old bay mare borne rrom town witn a sac: of "Cross Roads XXX Best" or "White as Snow," "Light as Goose Down" In one end ana a roca in tne otner ana slung across the old faithful animal's back. I say It was a pusxle at times If that was "Cross Roads Best" what the worst was like. Evidently flour makers nut arreatstress on the name and the poorer the flour the more elegant the name. So I kind of thought flour ought to be numbered as Portland No. 40. Bal timore No. 60, St Paul No. 70, Mtllers No. 10. and let the dealer brag it up and back it up and the housewife determine Its merits and not ouy it Decause u naa pretty .name. Then the way people order their gro ceries Is interesting should have par ticular attention. A lady will phone you to send up a sack of "nice" pota toes, a box of "fine" apples, a roll of "aood" butter and the grocer goes ahead and sends up the goods. Maybe it's good and maybe It Isn't. Therefore, from the fact that the customer never phones to send up a sack of poor pota toes, a roll of rancid butter, It would follow if a grocer wants to be honest and keen a trade he should never have anything but what was good. I see human nature stands out more clearly In connection with this grocery business than any other business. Then there Is the problem In what propor tions a grocer should carry stocks of celery and cheese.1 as celery makes "nerve and It takes nerve to eat much cheese. I am still deliberating on tnat. Also when I was east, I noticed some grocers carried patent medicines. I am considering what relation they have to groceries. " Then there Is the question of a clean, sanitary grocery, absolutely essential if vou want to deliver good goods. A srocCry can be run like a slaughter house or Ilka a well-kept pantry, I guess I'll conform to the latter. And then thece are so many more thtnaa to consider. I'll have to leave them go at present and let the mann er or mis arocery lacme mem. i uu boo am not aoinir to try to tell him how to run it for he is well posted and knows the business. I'll simply hand him a copy of these Investigations of mine so he will know I have been thinking of him and his work. You see my par ticular and personal business is to look more after the outside requirements of people than the Inside. " Now everybody and anybody who wants to talk to me about groceries, from selling buying, clerking for me, delivering, bossing, working partner ships in the business, how groceries should be run and how they should not, come and see me right away for this grocery will start quick. The room Is ready, the "Mt till is ready, and peo ple get hungry every day, seral times. J. M. ACrlHiSON, The J. M. Acheson Co., 6th and "Alder. My office is No. 600, fifth floor Ache son building. GIELS CAN'T RATTLE THIS BASEBALL STAB (Special Dispatch to The Journl.) Pittsburg, Jan. 2. Hans Wagner, Pittsburg's premier shoAstop, was the star at the meeting of the Bachelor Girls' club, in hlshome town, Carnegie, tonight.
