JUSTICE OF PEACE
MARRIES CHINESE
The . Ban - Francisco fire upset the
matrimonial plans of Hong! YIng and
Ling Sing and ataved off their mar
rlago more than two years. But neither
fate, earthquakes nor-fires could keep
them, apart always, and yesterday they
appeared before Justice Bell In hla
courtroom and aaked him to 'tie the
nuptial knot. The Justice compiled and
now the almond-eyed damsel la Mrs.
.. Hnnr Ylnr.
.Both of them were. 'decked out In
their best the groom with his queue
.. braided and decorated with black and
white ribbons; the bride with all the
glittering: ornaments, of the women of
her race in her hair. Hong Ting car
' rled a handful of red papers, aa did
his accompanying' friends, and these
wero scattered along tho streets to
ward off any unpropltlous influences
which might in future years work harm
to tho young couple.
This Is one of tho first Instances
In Portland of a Chinese couple being
married according to me American cus
tom, but this pair was very . Insistent
on this point. However, they will bo

Chinese rasnion, and unj ing wui

Tha, liquor reform ordinance was
more swooping than I at first thought
I 'opposed the measure up to tho last
moment, when I waa only Induced to
vote for It by tho protestations of Mrs.
Baldwin, who Insisted that It would be
a- great mora purifier. I think many
of the north end saloons will ba driven
out of business.
. . "I did not have any Idea that whole-
aale liquor dealers would ba discrimi
nated against in favor of drug stores
and groceries, and Mr. Kellaher, who
owna a grocery atora, voted against the
ordinance.
The foregoing la a statement by Dr.
W. I. Cottel In anawer to a Query from
a-Journal reporter aa to hla reasons for
supporting tho ordinance.
Considerable dlasatlafactlon and un
favorable comment has been aroused by
the paaaage of the new law, among the
wholesale liquor hounes. By the terms
of the ordinance they are prohibited
rrom selling intoxicants in any rorm
to women, although moat of them deal
only In packaga goods. A drug store or
frocery next door, however, la exempted
rom tho provisions of tho measure
and may sell ad libitum to women. This,
tho wholesalers contend, la unfair.
Mayor Liana aald that when he signed
tho ordinance he did not know that any
discrimination was made, and that if
there waa any injustice done to anybody

IN STREET CROWD
Usually the Socialist orators and their
listeners who congregate nightly at the
corner of Fourth and Alder streets to
discuss tho burning questions of the
day and .condemn the law of things as
they are, do nothing worse than dls
charge heated language and burning
words Into tho night atmosphere, but
last night one of them got in earnest
and discharged a revolver. As a re
sult William Borstel, a bystander who
naa stopped ror a minute to imbibe a
slice of oratory, waa taken to the Good
Samaritan hospital with a 22-callber
bullet in his foot. Tho man who did
the ' shootlnBT escated In tho confusion
and It la not known who la guilty. The
wound is not serious.
Borstel la a baker, llvlna- at 237 Mill
street. He was passing along Fourth
street about 11 o'clock last night when
his attention was attracted by tha
noise of an argument and he stooped
to listen. me next tiling ne Knew
someone had discharged a pistol and
he felt a pain in his root. The crowd
Immediately dispersed. Borstel says
all the men in uie crowd were strang
ers to mm and ne aoes not believe ne
could identify any or them.
A fireman, groping through a burnlnc
building at. Summit, N. J., found what
he thought was a package of clothing,
but which proved to be a baby forrot-
ten when the Inmates rushed from -the
house.

CAUGHT NAPPING
"They tell me It is against tho law
to sell game of any kind," a Portland
man aald tola morning. "And further
more, they tell me that you can oome
pretty near getting any kind of game
at this season of the year by simply
ltoklng wise. Of course, I'm not oay
' Ing anything, about Just where these
Jilaces are located, but If a man was
ooking for a drink of whiskey he
wouldn't go to a dry goods store,
would heT No, he would not.
"And you can get pheasants baked
or cooked up nice and brown or any
old way you want them. Of course,
you might have to hand the man behind
tho apron a nickel or a dime and a wink,
all the time looking wise, you know; but
eventually you'll come mighty near I
getting what you want, whether It be a
bird, a fish or possibly a steak of veni
son. , , i.
"After you look wise awhile, the
waiter will whisper something. Wheth
er you understand or not Just nod your
head. Then say, right out loud If there
is no one around, just what you want
And you'll get It '
. "Of course the bird or tho trout or
the steak, or whatever It is being sold
Illegally, might not be as fresh as vou
are accustomed to, but it will be what
you oraerea' ana no Question aoout it
Where do they get them? That Isn't
what I'm talking about. I'm simply
telling you where you can get game If
you are a sport And have that certain
wise look about Vou and an aonetlte for
something from the woods or fields."
Twenty-four wooers of the Ooddess
Fortune, whose Chinese name Is Fan

ly after 11 o'clock by Sergeants Goltx
and Smith when the officers raided a
Joint at 131 Second street. Evidence
in pienty was aiso secured.
Tho gamblers were playing in a little
room Buuui iuxxz reel, ana were so m-
leni on tneir game that they were
