' The autocrat of the port, the American representative of an English develop ment company, which holds extensive Bares in the vlelnltv of the little settle- anont unable to prevent the "beach timbers" from landing, much to his ' ehagrln, devised another scheme to set t,helr plans awry. He appealed to the governor of Lower California to pre vent the sale of liquor to tho sailors, nd upon his representations, accom panied by more or less veiled threats, 4 ''closed town" order was issued. Not only were the Americans prohibited from selling their beer, hut the Mexi- . oaus, well stocked with their terrible tequila mencal, found themselves in the same category.

Patrolman Rob erts was finally let In on the ground floor of Anderson's desires, and prompt ly put a period to events by arresting Anderson and charging him with being drdnk. Anderson promptly and properly fell Into a deep and refreshing slumber which lasted until he was called to ap pear before Judge Cameron In the police court this morning. When apprised of the situation in which he found himself he promptly disclaimed any Intention of passing to the great beyond before his appointed time. "I was out last night, and something must have happened to me," he ex plained to the court. "I think you have grasped the situa tion exactly," remarked the iidge, "and unless you pay a fine of $3 for the use and benefit of the people something else will happen to you." The fine was paid. OREGON OUT OF OAT hues T FIVE STORIES WITH A SEQUEL Deputy Building Inspector Pobson has sworn to a complaint for the arrest of W. R. Orlffith for violation of the city building ordinance and the war rant will bo served today. Griffith Is building a five-story frame structure at Fourteenth and Salmon streets for 1. M.

The administration's bill, so called, waa Introduced by Representative Hep burn and offered to the judiciary com mittee. The first skirmish between the Cannon and Hepburn forces was started today by some of the members of the committee on commerce, who are today sounding the sentiment of the Repub licans as to tlm probuble fate of the resolution to discharge the judiciary committee from consideration of the bill and hand It over to the Interstate commeroe commission. It is said that Hepburn feels that the measure would not be shipwrecked In the care of the commission. GO TO E Mil AHOTHER BROKEN TO GET MEETING mil nu TnrnTi r .

"Resolved, That , the present laws relating to the admls- territory of the United States be ex . .. tended to' Japanese immigrants."

Dobson told Orlffith yesterday to cense work but says the contractor refused to do so. Dobson thereupon swore out the com- filalnt todav. The matter will come up n the municipal court tomorrow for a bearing. FIGHT TO REOPEN PORTLAND GATEWAY According to rumors current in rail road circles today an effort will be made by the Harrlman lines to -reopen the Portland gateway. It Is said that the Harrlman officials are preparing to force the Hill lines Into opening the gateway closed some weeks ago so as to allow passengers to be handled In both directions tnrougn roruana. In case this la effected, as the rumor has lt. the great loss to Portland threat ened bv the closing of the gateway and the deflection of the tourist travel bv way of Puget sound and Spokane will be obviated and Portland will retain her present Important position as a center for tourist travel. (Special Mpntch to The JodfT.il. ) Forest Grove, Or., March 27. A tall with a crack across the top and located on the identical trestle from which tha coaches were thrown In the wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad near this city some weeks ago, whereby three persons were Rilled and more than a score Injured, waa discovered by a Jour nal correspondent and a citlsen of For est Grove yesterday afternoon while vis iting the scene of the recent wreck. The crack In the rail extends entirely across the top, and In the center It Is at least a quarter of an Inch deep. At first view the crack gives the appear ance of being two rolls joined very closely together, and Its true nature was only noticed by the absence of a fishplate at that point. While the base of the rail below the crack has the appearance of being sound, tne constant pounding or the car wheels over the unsound rail might well cause lt to break entirely through and cause a repetition, at the same spot, of the recent terrible accident. A committee of Portland wholesale grocers and Portland Commercial Club officials met at the Portland Commer cial club today to discuss the advisa bility of securing the next national con vention of the Retail Grocers' associa tion. It waa decided to send a large delegation to attend the 1908 conven tion at Boston May 11-14, mid make a winning effort to get the 1909 conven tion. The men In attendance at today's meeting were J. C. Mann, I'. Dresser, W. H. Glafke, C. B. Merrick. Tom Rich ardson and William McMurray. The delegation will go in a special car and will number not less than 18 men. They will make stops at the Important cities along the route, and will be enter tained by commercial organizations at various points. It Is expected that a great deal of favorable advertising for Oregon and the northwest will be so cured on the trip.

The suit Is brought bv John A Plurlr Edward L. Clark. Mrs. 'Lottie ArjDerson and Roy W. Clark, all children of John Clark and his late wife, Elizabeth Clark, who died June 18. 1901. A fourth son. W. T. Clark, declined to Join in the suit against his father, desiring to remain neutral. Hnd he has been made a nominal defendant. The suit turns upon the effect of a bill of sale of the John Clark Saddlery company and certain deeds executed bv the defendant in 1894 to his wife. The deeds cover property at Fourth and Stark streets, park; and Oak. and other lots in north and east Portland. The children are now claiming the property as heirs of their ' mother under these deeds and the bill of sale. Their father denies that he intended the property to go 10 ins wne during nis nretime. 'S TIES THAT BIND ARE UNBOUND "Whenever I saw him he would run away, and I would not get a chance to talk to him," was the reason given by Mrs. Sarah E.

She said the occasions referred to were some time after they had separ ated. When he left, and once afterward. he told her that he would not return to her any more.

Medford, Or., March 27 In his ad dress here last night H. M. Cake aroused no little enthusiasm by the ex planation of his position with reference to Statement No. 1. "I believe In Statement No. 1 because I believe in the people," he said. "They should have Just as much right to nay who shall represent them In the United States senate as in any body of repre sentatives." Mr. Cake is touring tho state In be half rtt his rnndldacv for tho Retiub- llcan nomination for 'nltad States sen ator. There was a falr-sled crowd out to hear htm, perhaps 200. Noticeably absent were many of the bosses who used to dominate local politics, lt is said that the machine crowd is hostile to the candidacy cf Mr. Cake. The speaker dwelt at length on vari ous questions of public Interest. He spoke on the railroad question, tha im provement of rivers and harbors and other matters that are of great interest at thin time. A leading feature of his address was his urgent demand for providing for the various needs or Oregon. i ing to day In tha United Brethren church. The election of senators by dl rect vote and the initiative and refer endum are favored by a large majority of the- delegates. For the first time In years It looks as though the liberal element of the state prohibitionists will prevail against tbe middle-of-the-road element and that In many cases the party will Indorse candi dates ' of other parties, especially in county politics .In Una with this policy Tom Word -will undoubtedly be indorsed for sheriff. The convention waa called to order at 10 o'clock this morning by E. T. Johnson. J. F. Hanson waa elected chairman and H. C. 6chaeffer secretary. J. P. Newall addressed the convention on state prohibition work and said that local option has prepared the way for a successful state prohibition campaign two years hence. ., State JUpe for rrohlbltlon. The speaker said that tbe stats was! ripe ror prohibition now out tne move ment had grown too fast for the party to take advantage of It, and that two years from now there will be no doubt of Oregon's going in the dry list. It seemed to be the opinion of the dele gates that the brewers were making a desperate ngni ana mat ii tney were given rope enough they would hang themselves. This noon the committees on plat form and nominations met and drafted a report to be submitted to the conven tion this afternoon. The platform will declare for Statement No. 1 and will take a stand against the liquor traffic, in its every phase, sale, transportation and manufacture. Each delegate was given two blanks thin morning, one a ballot for state of ficers and the other a ballot for choice Every delegate filled In the blanks ait he saw fit and returned them to the com mittee on nominations. They were used to guide the committee In Its choice or nominees. The probable personnel of the state ticket Is: Presidential electors Four out of town Prohibitionists. United States senator I. H.

WUI Senator Fulton climb aboard the Statement No. 1 platform before he travel much farther In hla senatorial campalgnT This Is tha question that interesting soma of hit closest friends, both personal and political. Senator Fulton aaya today that he has experienced no chsnga In attitude and that iita friends are not flirting' with tha Statement No. 1 forces, yet tha tory still gains ground that an effort being made to get him uoon the Biaiement mo. l piatiorro to aave mm from. the double cross of those who are now coslna as Ma supporters but who in reality ara not. Efforts have bean made to get the RtatAmnnt Na. 1 ntnnl 1n Multnomah county to go to Senator Fulton, aooord- na to tne rumors which ara current. but tney have refused to mane any ad vances, holding that they are not pledged to Statement No. 1 for the man but for tha principle which it repre sents. They contend that tha person ality is a mere incident in th sena torial fight, aa tha selection of senator rcoraina to their theory reata wr.a tne people. . . . aeusT) u srfaiamrat. Falling In this endeavor friends of the senator-are now making efforts to swing him Into the Statement No. 1 platform in order to gain the added strength which would com from this out and out attitude. The argument is being mad that Senator Fulton person ally believes in Statement No. 1 In theory and practice and that since lie does It would not mean that he was at tempting to influonce th legislature In his favor should he come out openly and announca hla allegiance to the prin ciple. Hack of it all. however, is believed to be the lurking suspicion on the part of many or his friends that Fulton is be ing double-crossed by the followers of the Hodson-Beach-Balley-Reed machine. It was stated some time ago, at about tha time the Hodson ticket made its ap pearance, by on of the members of the ticket that th Intention was to give Fulton tha nomination and then beat htm with Chamberlain in June. This would release th combination from any senatorial pledge and give them free rein In supporting whatever candidate for senator that they might desire. Since that time the whip of public oblnlon has forced the Hodson ticket away from their first pledge to vote for "the people's choice, provided he was a Republican," back to the straight pledge for the Republican choice. Still the fact remains that Fulton cannot, be a candidate before th legislature unless he Is elected In June, for he has taken a pledge in his Corvallts speech not to allow hts name to be used unless he re ceives the popular indorsement in June. Cake is shut out by reason of hla Statement No. 1 platform. It Is appar ent, therefore, that there can be no Re Some of the Students; Who Have Been Radical in Ex pressions Will Leave but Project of General Strike Is Abandoned. (Calted Pr U4 1Ttr.
