Students of Wil lamette university last night carried awnv the cornerstone which Is to play the 'leading part at the ceremonies of the cornerstone laying of the new Eaton hall this afternoon. After a long and diligent search on the part of the col lege authorities the cornerstone was lo cated about noon today buried in the ground under the corner of an old wood shed on the campus. For a time It ap peared doubtful whether the ceremony could take place. Not satisfied with this prank, the students secreted all the lids of the heaters in the recitation rooms, so that no recitations could be held this morn ing. As school was dismissed for the ceremony this afternoon the lack of heat will not be seriously felt. When the chapel exercises opened this morning a cow was found in the room. Those who will take part this after noon are: Judge George. H. Burnett. E. A. Eaton, Dr. B. D. Ader, J. A. Mills. Rev. Davis Erret, C. B. Moores, M. B. Rankin and Bishop Charles W. Smith.

The reopening or hostilities among the highbinders so soon after the Chi nese consul's threat that the misdeeds of the tongs would be visited on the families of the offenders In their native bind shows the police that tne present feud is very deep. San Francisco. Dec. 17. Fearing the snread of the fight between the Chinese tongs in this city and Oakland to the oriental quarters or poruann, I,os Angeles. Sacramento and San Jose, the local Chinese consul general, Hsu Pln-Chen. will meet with the repre"- sentatlves of tne Chinese Six rompanies tonight, bearing the command of the home government that its subjects re frain from combat. Word has come to the consul general that the On Tick tong. one of the most powerful on the Pacific coast, has been planning to ex ecute a simultaneous attack on its ene mies on the eve of the approaching Chi nese New Year In the cities of the coast. By doing this they would avoid retaliation on the part of the opposing hatchet men by the enrorced peace or the New Year season, when every en mity must be burled. Two deaths have already been posted to the credit or the 8ui Doon tong and iho men who have committed the mur ders have ried to avoid the vengeance of the On Tick gunmen. Tt is believed that Chu Chin Chlng. who was found strangled today at Chi cago, was one of the Sul Doon mur derers and that the On Yicks have evened one score. The other highbind ers who loined in last night's murder have scattered In many directions, and the On Yicks have Instructed their members in the coast cities to be on the alert for their arrival. Branches of the Sul Doons and the On Yicks in Dos An geles have become involved In a quarrel over a stolen slave girl, and the bitter feeling may end in a clash. For the first time in the history of slave girl thefts, the Chinese appealed to the au thorities for aid in recovering the girl. Accordlne to a local Chinese it will be deemed a deadly Insult by the offended tong and either a heavy indemnity or warfare will follow.

V. Burk From Ser vice. Twelve men to hear the evidence in the case of Harry Daly, charged with murder in the first degree, were secured by Judge Gantenbein in the circuit court this morning, and this afternoon the at torneys made their opening- statements to the Jury. Daly shot and killed Harry Kenny, a saloon man, on the night of November 16, just after he had applied for work and had been told that there was none for him. Duty's defense will be Insanity. There was no provocation for the killing but It will be claimed that Daly at dif ferent times has shown himself Irre sponsible mentally when angry. John H. Stevenson and Dcster W. Humph reys, who are conducting the defense, will try to convince the'jury that Daly was In an uncontrollable fit of insanity when he shot Kenny. J. V Burk, the first man accepted on the Jury, caused a ripple of interest when, after being passed by the attor neys for the defense, he replied to a question from tlio other side that he knew a reason why he could not serve as a juryman. "I was on a tiry hrre not long ago, he said "and they coned us up in a little box upstairs that is a regular fire trap. I don't think .that a man ought to ne put up mere wnen ne is on a 1ury." This unexpected reply did not avail the juror, who was accepted by both sides in spite of his protest. Only four peremptory challenges were used by the defense, while two were exercised by the state and rnur talesmen were let go bv the court for cause.

In each place, before a seizure was made the deputies, who were un known to the saloon men, played their nickels on the machine and collected pay when they won. Throe of the ma chines were of the largo upright va riety, and paid money exclusively, while the others sat on the counters and paid in checks, which were received at fafce value, in cash or trade. The machines are said to be the prop erty of Henry Griffin, who leased them to the proprietors of the saloons, shar ing the profits with them. The saloon men were told to appear later, and com plaints will be filed against them on the charg;e of violating the anti-gambling laws. postofrice Is closed.
