had not been definitely determined, but
, might be in few day. Yet the exec
utive committee,' had decided to hold the
precinct election on February 2 and

uch action having been taken on Sat-
vrday afternoon. '
, There aeema to be aome doubt In the
minds of Mr. Idleman and other of the
J machine's engineers regarding in um
, mate success of their program. Back a
' month or more ago these moving spirits
raacetved the idea of holding a county
convention for the purpose of formu
lating a convention and Indorsing a full
ticket This movement was promptly
at upon by the majority of the central
, committee, and with It went the farther
reaching scheme to call a state con
vention for the stune purpoaea.
Then the matter waa brought up
gain and after a heated discussion it
was decided to hold a "masa meeting,
the object of which would be to adopt
- a platform outlining the attitude of the
. Republican party In the county. The
question waa discussed at length and
the old line politicians only carried their
point by a majority ao small as to leave
them wary In making further advances.
Committee Decides.
The central committee then left the
time and manner of holding the pre
cinct and county meetings In the hands
of the executive committee. This com
mittee has Just decided. .
According to tne . Plan now outuneu
" the precinct committeeman fretn each
of the 114 precincts of the county will
tack up notices -calling the precinct
meetings. Those Republican voters
who read the notices and desire to at
tend will then meet at the place desig
nated Wednesday afternoon, February
28, and select three delegates from
each precinct to attend the "mass roeet-
ing" called for Saturday, February 2
, Old Machine Working Again.
Back . of the "mass meeting" Idea,
are the Hodson-Balley-Beacn commnar
- tion of Id machine politicians who are
desirous of once more gaining cunwui
of Multnomah county politics. To their
eld also will be brought Ferdinand K.
' Heed and his mythical "block system,"
which purports to have a tried and true
minion in every diovh m ruimiiu.
All of them in concert are expected
' to be able to control tne precinct mr
Ings and send delegates to the "mass
meeting" who will whoop It up for the

of Statement No. 1, and unbounded
" approval for those candidates for the

ON CHINESE GAMBLING
There were no gambling or lottery
games running in Chinatown last night
a condition of affairs that has not pre
vailed In the quarter for many month.
This unusual state of Ihtnga was due
wholly to the fnct that the work of
suppressing Chinese gambling has been
taken out of the hands of Detectives
Kay and Klenlln and placed In charre
of Detectives Price and Coleman,
An order to this effect was Indued
by Chief of Pollen Grltzmacher veater-

through the Chinese quarter there wis
consternation among the gamblers and
hurried conferences were called to dis
cuss ways and means of meeting the
changed conditona. As a result of these
conferences It was decided by the back

have been operating without molesta

Hana C. Kay, one of the best-known
musicians In the city, committed suicide
this morning by cutting his throat In
the office of the Mualclans' union tn
Drew's hall, 1(1 Second street Long
continued Illness, financial stress and

tlcally penniless and had been aleeplng

covered blood on the floor and upon

a rasor almost two hours before the
arrival of the Janitor and had seated
himself In chair snd calmly awaited
the approach of death.
Hunter communicated with the po
lice station and the patrol wagon soon
arrived on the scene and conveyed the
injured man to uood Samaritan hos
pital. He died soon after reaching that
Institution.
