School Principals of Port
r land Go on Becord as Op
posing Stellar Event
- ' PJanned for Kose Festival
in June.
: Consulting- what they bellave to be
th bet Interest of tlie "schools and
' tlje school children the principals of
'' the SI Portland schools met with; Super
intendent Rlgler yesterday morning and
by a. vote of St to S declared them
selves opposed to the parade of the
' school children during Rose Festival
, weelc
it was declared by those who wera
' present at the meeting that while the
principals are willing to give their own
-time for. the training of the children,
they cannot do so without slighting the
school work, which la moat important
loward the close of the year.
I . Explains JPoslt-oa. .
t Principal C 1 Strong of tha Sell
wood school, speaking of the action
taken by th principal, said last night:
"Wa have found that all thla parading
and extra work detracts from the stan
dard of serious work which has been
sel for us to follow. The children are
compelled to work hard enough as it la
i without; having several extra hours
week of unnecessary work to do. The
parents a a rule are opposed to their
children marching. It would mean that
we would have to go out personally
and urge the children to march. It Is a
responsibility that I for one don't ap
prove of and don't consider a part
of my duties as a teacher in the public
schools. My ideal ia to secure aa high
efficiency from my pupils as possible,
I don't believe that parading the streets
tn the hot aun la going to work towards
that efficiency.- . M
1 Th other principals agreed with
Wofesaor -Strong that the parade would
. be an undesirable thing for the schools.
" . Q.u-rs Hack Work.
- 'The Festival people are too apt to
think only what a pretty spectacle the
children will make during their hours
I tnarch. They don't take Into consider
ation the training and tne drill and
. jth hard work connected with tn prr-
arauon or uose wno are suing 10
. part In the parade. It is like a. roan
f oing to the theatre who aees the per
onnanoe and thinks or tne actor work
1 Ing three hours. Ha doesn't stop to con-
alder -that It has Uken months, and
ven years, of constant work to per.
feet the performance which it takes put
' a few hours to go through."
i Although th principals went on rec
ord aa against th parade the special
"committee of which Mr. Rlgler la the
chairman will report back to the echool
board: -and await Ua action on th mat-
tar. ; - -.-.'
TRY Mill FOR
DU PUIS MURDER
.--v k I j I 'D '
Pendleton People to Be Sum-
I moned to Testify Against
V v Defendant.
Attorneys forJJadding and
TYayniire Claim They
Have New Evidence.
Alleging that they have dlacovered
new evidence in the form of statements
said to have been made by Mayor Lane
regarding the charges on which K. K.
Raddlrig and Mra. Belle Waymlre were
convicted last week, the attorneys for
the defendants tomorrow will file a
motion for a hew trial
The. defendants' attorneys also claim
that an error was made in receiving the
verdict of the jury when neither Mra
Waymlre nor Radding- nor any of their
Attorneys' were present. They evident
ly believe they have a good point in
tnis objection, which win be btrongly
urged aa a reason why a new trial
should be granted.
Side Statements.
Just what statements the mayor Is
alleged to liavu muut. mat -vie regarded
aa giving bmia mi a new trial are not
dlscioseu. it is iaid. however, tnat
these statements are euftlclenl to carry
weight, and they win be set forth In
affidavits to accompany the motion for
a new trial. Attorney Seneca, fcouts
last night said that the into'rmatlon re
gardlng what the mayor has said
reached them too late to use in the re
cent trial.
Mr. Kouts yesterday secured from
Judge Gantenbein a typewritten state-.
ment setting forth In detail the facts
connected with the returning of the ver
dict. This statement Bays that after
the jury retired on the afternoon of Feb
ruary 25 the court ' notified Fouta to
have the' defendants in court when the
jury came in with lis verdict At 6
o'clock, the statement proceeds, the ver.
diet waa received and read in the pres
ence of the court stenographer and
other officers of the court, but In the
absence 'of both of the defendants and
of their attorneys. Judge Qaotenbeln
directs that this statement be made a
part of the record. -
Fat tn Kaocrd.
The object In eecurins thla statement
from th judge waa to have the facta
made of record, to be made the basis
of the motion for another trial. Th. de
fendants were convicted of a misde
meanor, and it is admitted that in case
of mladeineanora. tuu trial may proceed
without the Dresettce of the defendants.
But It la pointed out that In the case
or tne state against spores in tne
fourth Oregon, the supreme court held
that th proceedings were regular In
the bsene'of the defendant "If he
appear by counsel."
Conversely, it la claimed. If the law-
rers , for th defendant ar not present
he Verdict cannot be received, because
the courts have held that -the reception
of a verdict la a part of the trial and
that the defendant baa an unimpeach
able right to demand a poll of the jury.
It the attorneys for the defendant are
absent, It is contended, this right Is
taken away, they having no opportunity
to poll the Jury.
Argument of th motion for new trial
may or mar not be held during the
coming week, owing to th preparation
to be made by the attorneys and the
time at the disposal of the -court' Mean
time Radding remain in Jail, unable to
furnish the $1,080 bond that1 he pro
fessed, he could so easily supply.

Washington. Feb. 29. Mayor C. A.
Johns of Baker City was joined today
by Attorney Charles Murphy of that
town In his effort to push throunH the
bill creating a new federal Judicial dis
trict of eastern Oregon, the court to
sit kt Baker City,
Representative EUls Bays Pendleton
Is still urging .that the court should sit
there, on the ground that more federal
business originates in that part of the
state, but tnere is no delegation here
from Pendleton. There seemed little
likelihood that any bill would pass up
to th time of Johns' and Murphy's ar
rival, but it is now thought that being
on the ground, they may succeed in
pushing the bill through.
BELL INDORSED BY
Detectives -Make Spectacular
Invasion of Chinese Quar
ters When Games and Lot
teries Are Shut Down for
Reception of Officers.
Pursuant to "arrangements" an
nounced by th police Thursday after
noon. Acting Detectives Kay and Bmlth
raided the Chinese gambling dene at
82 H Second atreet yesterday afternoon.
Of course, no one was arrested, for
the vry 'good reason that no game was
In progress at the time the raid waa
made, nor had there been any gambling
there since 9 o'clock the night before.
H is charitable to suppose that the offi
cers were not aware of this, although
the fact was patent to everyone with
whom the affairs of th Chinese quar
ter ar at all familiar.
Wide Open.
Following the publication In The
Journal Thursday afternoon of the faot
that the lid had been-lifted tn China
town and that lottery and gambling
games were being conducted openly
on -of them within a few score feet Of
the police station, orders were Issued by
someone for a cessation of operations
by all of the boss gamblers who are
credited with being subscribers to th
Jirotectlon fund. As a consequence the
Ighta were turned out in all of the lot
tery and fantan resorts at t o'clock
Thursday evening. The games did not
reopen yesterday morning and at the
time Kay and Smltlattracted a crowd
of Idlers by their Rpaotacular descent
on the premises in Second street yester
day afternoon a majority of the boas
gamblers of the quarter were In the
miaqi or a council ot war men Deing
held in the back office of th store of
Bing Gee, 14 Second street. .
While the result of the "raid"
amounted to nothing more than a dem
onstration or tne completeness of tne
"arrangements," the same cannot be
said of the consultation of boss gam
blers. "Ways and means" was th topic
Of discussion, and It is probable the ses
sion was none the leas interesting be
cause, it was held behind Closed doors.
The result of th conference Is not
known definitely and it is by no means
certain that a definite line of action
was determined and agreed upon. All
of the gambling resorts remained dark
last night, though the word was passed
around that some of the lottery games
would resume drawings today.
Some time ago the Chinese gamblers
announced that they were willing to pay
the sum of 1 1.800 a month for im
munity from prosecution. The negotia
tions fell through an account of the
publicity given the scheme, but In spite
of this their willingness to pay for th
privilege of being permitted to violate the
gambling lawa has never been called
Into question. That they are paying a
certain stipulated sum for such protec
tion as can be given them under exist
ing conditions Is an open secret In
Chinatown.
