Evi dence Against Gamblers 3Iakes Little of Crusade. Chief Grltimacher said this morning that he would not try to hold any of the officers or detectives responsible for the fact that poker games were found running in Blaster's and Erlek son's saloons, when Councilman "Wills went slumming. This Is because, as the chief Insists, the officers have made several attempts to obtain evidence against those places, but could not suc ceed for the reason that they were rec ognized as policemen and no money changed hands while they were present. "Two of the new officers who went on duty Saturday were sent to Erlck son's by Sergeant Kay Saturday even ing, as he honed they would not be recognized and some proof could be se cured. But these new men could not find the card room, although they were In the house at the time Mr. Wills went in and saw money changing hands," concluded the chief. Contrary to general expectations, Si of the men arrested Saturday evening because Councilman Wills called the at tention of the policemen to the fact that ? :untes were in progress, pleaded guilty n the municipal court late yesterday afternoon and paid fines of $5 each, the money being furnished by the saloon owners. One man, Thomas McKittrlck, declared he was not guilty and demand ed a jury trial. Make Bad Break. The fact that several of the men ac knowledged that they had been gam bling before the attorney for the sa loon men had an opportunity to talk with them brought about the pleas of guilty for the remainder, but these pleas will have a direct Influence on the case of Ed Blazler, one of the proprietors of the Blazler establishment, who was ar rested last evening, charged with allow ing gambling to he conducted in his saloon. Tho city attorney can now show that the men arrested In Blazler's place pleaded guilty, so Blazler himself prob ably faces a fine. Blazler is out on $100 ball. Chief Grltzmacher said today that ho had been told that last Saturday eve ning was the first time any number of men had been playing at either of the saloons raided. "There were 85 men and about $75 on the tables and in their pockets, alto gether," said the chief, "so it was what might be called a tinhorn game. 1 know that the patrolmen on the beat and the sergeants have tried many times to get evidence that gambling was going on In those saloons, so I cannot hold any one responsible because a man not an offi cer obtained admittance and saw the games running." "Squeals" on Gamblers. When Louis Cohen, the manager of the card frames then running in Martin Phillip's saloon on First street near Madison, was arrested 10 days ago for conducting; a gambling game, he made a loud protest, declaring that similar games were running in many of the down town saloons and that the police were discriminating against him. pPhil ltps, Cohen and a dealer were all fined in the municipal court, but have ap pealed their case. At the time Cohen made his outcry the officers declared if any games were running they were being played for the di lnka only. This is not prohibited, be cause each player merely promises the others that in the event of his losing he will pay for refreshments, and no (Continued on Page Six.)

'7 i ....... i BAILEY BILL IS DOWNED SE Anti-Japanese Measure De feated by Vote of 22 to 5 Author of Bill Calls Japanese Are "Puffed Up": Over the Matter. Hy M illard AVirtas. (By Journal I.aaed Sulem Wire.) Salem, Or., Feb. 9. Taking the position that Bailey's anti-Japanese resolution is inopportune at this time because of the agitation in Cal ifornia that has brought both state and federal officials into notoriety, the Oregon state senate this morn ing killed the measure by a vote of 22 to 5. Those voting In favor of the resolution were Senators Bailey, Coffey, Hart, M. A. Mler and Schol field.' Kellaher, Mulit and Caldwell were absent. The resolution memorialized congress to reenact the Chinese exclusion act and enlarge It soas to include all Asiatics. It was reported unfavorably by the resolution committee consisting of Sena tors Bingham. Kay, Parrish, Bailey and Norton but Senator Bailey moved to substitute a minority report favorable to the resolution submitted by himself It was over this action that the dis cussion occurred and vote was taken. PtLffed Up, Frond. Bailey contended that a retreat at this time on the part of America will cause the "puffed up, proud and vain Japanese'' to become more aggressive. He contended tha,t Japan would inr me.uiu.ieiy iaKe another step, encour aged by the apparent retreat in this matter of immigration bv the federal government. He also said he believed he had nine tenths of the people of the Pacific coast on his side in favor of prohibiting indiscriminate immigra tion of cheap labor. Senators Bingham and Slnnott spoke against the measure stating that as the president is using his utmost ef forts to quiet the agitation now aroused In California, there must be some good reason for postponing this action at this time and therefore the resolu tion should not be considered now.

President Bowerman and Speaker Mo Arthur each received messages from United States Senator Bourne, last evening, stating that the president was endeavoring to have the Janam-.se ques tion amicably settled without unduly arousing feeling between the two coun tries.

MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN ll'S House Divided on Hart's Su preme Court Hill Major ity Report Throws It Out to the People Emergency Likely to Prevail. By Ralph A. Watson. (By Journal leased Snlem Wlrs.) , Salem. Or.. Feb. 9. Senator Hart's supreme Judge bill has Bpllt the houe wide open on the question of whether the measure should carry an emergen cy clause or be 'left in such shape thnt the people of the state could- invoko -the referendum should they so desir. As the bill passed the senate It pro vides for the addition of two Justices to the present three composing the su-- preme court, and declares that an emer gency exists. On this question the lurilelorv com mittee of the house parted. Illmlck. Me- Cue and Husk renortlrm In favor nf striking the emergency clause off tho bill. Brooke and Bean presented -a min ority report advocating that the bill should carry the clause and be passed by the house just as it came from the senate. For an hour during the last " of the morning session the house struggled with the question and at noon left U unsettled to be taken up this afternoon when the house reassembles. From the Indications given In the debate and the relative strength of the two sides. It Is evident the minority will be able to car ry its report and pass the bill, emer gency clause and all. ; alleged "Interests" Active. During the I debate, which waxed warm in several, instances, charges were' made that different interests were back -of the effort to remove the emergency clause from the bill. This was resented by Rusk and Dimlck, who contended that the people of the state should be allowed to say whether they wanted to Increase the court or leave It as it now stood. Rusk contended that the Interest de manding the striking away of the emergency was the state grange and that tile organisation had a perfect right to invoke the referendum if it so desired. The vote on the adoption of the re port will show whether the bill will pass as It came from the senate or whether It must go back to the senata In an amended form and run the chance of defeat. The chances are that the bill will be passed with the emergency clause attached. Argument against Delay. Brooke argued that there was only one Question, whether It should have the emergency clause or without It.- If it had no emergency clause the refer endum would be applied.. That would leave the court without assistance for nearly two years. If It were not In voked It would still leave the court un assisted for three months. With the assistance of the two commissioners, the court had nearly caught up with Its business and this aid should be given. It was argued that the people had voted the bill down in June, but the objection to that bill was not that part ' affecting the supreme court but the bill had changed the entire judicial sys- ' tern. Brooke contended that special In terests sought to have the emergency clause taken off so the referendum could he invoked. .r .. . Rusk argued that the majority of the" committee had decided that the people should not be deprived of the right to ray whether they wanted to increase the supreme court from three to five. Actuated by pure motive the commit tee had decided to allow the house to say. It was hard to resist the tempta tion to allow Chamberlain to appoint two . of his non-partisan friends -as judges. The special interest mentioned bv Brooke was the grango. If Ihey wante.l to invoke the referendum that was then right. Rusk contended that the com missioners had lurnejl out 12 more cases than had been done by the court . in two years before. Thee cases had cost the state $9000. It was time for the Republicans to wake up and se cure men who would work. Buchanan said he was under no obli gation to Chamberlain but this was im perative. Chamberlain would appoint good Judges. There wer4f two good, judges now. This hill should be passtkl now and do what was right, regardless . Of politics. " ' ' 1 '. Jones of Lincoln was In favor of th . (Continued on Plage Six.)
