THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1909. CRIES OF FAKE UNTRUE Investigation Convinces a Traveling Man That the Kaffles Ganle in Portland Is Worked Honestly Act or's Boom Is Invaded. By "Bunny." This is the tale of how B. Cham berlain, a traveling salesman of Portland, was convinced the Mys teriouB Mr. Raffles was not a "fake." And Mr. Chamberlain was so certain that he had the my uteri ous one's room located that be had it thoroughly searched. Mr. Chamberlain spent several days In search of Raffles, and set for him self the task of discovering the rooms of" the mysterious one. . In a well known rooming- house he was Informed by one of the maids that Raffles had a room He took It uDon himself to search the room carefully, during: the absence of trie occupant, and round all manner and sorts of disguises, wigs, clown make up and clothing. He also found that the. occupant did not leave the room all yesterday afternoon, though Raffles was scheduled to make several calls. Calls At Journal Office. Today Mr. Chamberlain called at The Journal office with a friend and pro nounced the Raffles game "a fake." He was offered the reward of $200 If he could prove It was such. He offered to lane Artnur l. lsh, business manager of The Journal, and D. H. Smith, cir culation manager, to the room. Later In the morning the three called at the rooming house, and went directly up to the room which Mr. Chamberlain supposed Raffles occupied. Opening the door they walked in on Harold Yates, a vaudeville performer, waiting for an engagement with the Sullivan and Considlne circuit. He has had years of stage experience and has col lected numerous articles, of clothing. He even looks a little like the myster ious stranger. Mr. Chamberlain later apologized to Mr. Davis, manager for Raffles, and signed a written statement acknowledg ing his mistake. Before, however, he was so confident that he had located Raffles' room, that he went to other newspapers with Mis story of fake." Mr. Yates has been accused a num ber of times of being Raffles. HOWlOOES" HIS W TRICKS (Continued from Page One.) ner of ' Grand avenue and East Stars: streets to accommodate the enormous trade. The east side Is justly proud of the success of Morgan-Atchley. The firm has advertised the business op portunities of the east sldr as has no other -firm. L-ow prices, good furniture and courteous treatment Is the policy of the firm. Good advertising brought the people the first time, to Investigate, low prices to back up public statements kept the people coming afterward. Sel dom Is a new firm so well and so favor ably known in five years as Is Morgan Atchley after one year. After getting away from the furniture store and being on the east side, I did not have far to go to reach one of my rooms, where I remained until din ner time. Saffles at the Grand. After me giving yo a demonstration of my getaway of how I have access to all the entrances of the Grand the atre yet you stand around the one en trance and leave all the others open to me, then you complain because I get by you. Why didn't the bunch of sprinters catch the party they chased from the Grand up Eighth street to the "Colonial" boarding house, and who showed that he or she was there with the "hot foot" as well as the rest? Hard Time at the Dreamland. At the Dreamland dancing academy is where I said to myself, "Raf. old boy, here Is where you ret stung again." But I didn't. After trying In vain sev eral times to gain entrance to the main and only door my fat angel Bleuth was there with several "others I sent my manager up to. see If there was no other way to get In. But where there's a will there's a way. The way was found and I was not molested and say. fellows, the sample rooms on the second floor were a dandy place for an army of Raffles. Here I camped, waiting my chance to get around the box door and upstairs. Gee, but I did want a dance awfully bad. But I could not take the time, as I was closely pressed. After giving the tip to Mr. Clark, I made my getaway, down among the trunks again, and did not leave until long after my intended time for de parture. Such a jolly bunch there was at the dance, and all so orderly, too. And such a nice, large polished floor to dance on, with Manager Grant In his prettv white suit right on the spot to see tnat everything went along nicely. The hall Is now under new manage ment. No one need hesitate to take their REACHES RIVER AFTER SL017 RUII British Bark Gulf Stream Xearly a Year Out From Antwerp. SIGHTED OFF HEADS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON Encountered Heavy Weather in the South Atlantic and Lost Sails and Rigging Spent Several Months Repairing at Port Stanley. After having been out nearly a year from Antwerp, the British bark Gulf Stream put In an appearance 'off the mouth of the Columbia river last night with a cargo of cement that In Its course of transit has escaped many fluctuations of the market. The vessel was not near enough to make port before darkness and so her skipper turned seaward again to- await daylight. 8 he will probably get back in time this afternoon to be picked up by one of the tugs and get a tow Into the bay. The voyage of the Gulf Stream If copied from the vessels' official log would no doubt fill a good slsed val ume for It has been filled with sen sations from the time it began at Ant werp July 18 of last year. First she ran Into storms In the channel and off the bay of Biscay and then, after weathering them safely, hit a blow in the South Atlantic that all but wrecked her. The sails were torn Into shreds, poles were wrenched out of shape and best girl friends there to spend a pleas- I broken off like pipe stems until it was ant evening. feared she would have to be abandoned, Th music Is excellent, and In the I a drifting and helpless derelict. But twilight dance, the electric lights keep ! the crew managed to rig new spars time "winking" with the music. Altogether, I would say that this is a first class place of amusement, and I shall take pleasure in another visit. RAFFLES. STANDARD OIL (Continued from Page One.) and the Hawaiian-American Steamship companies. Two months ago the Bates & Chese brough Interests contracted with Ar thur Bewail & Co. of Bath, Me., ror the use of four steel clippers between San Francisco and New York. These ves sels, with the addition of the Standard carriers, insure to coast shippers fa cilities for the transportation of an aggregate per annum cargo of 115,500 tons. The rates that will become effective and with their aid Port Stanley, Falk land Islands, was finally reached. There she put in for temporary repairs and it took long to make them for the port far in the south, near Cape Horn, Is not overly well equipped for such work. On February 15 of this year, a fresh start was made for the Columbia river. It was the riskiest part of the voyage because the Horn had still to be doubled, and those interested In the people on board and the vessel were therefore pleased to hear the news this morning of her having been sighted off the mouth of the river. The cargo consists of about 18,000 barrels of cement. The value of ce ment has decreased considerably since it was shipped, but this loss will prob ably fall on the shippers instead of the consignee. It Is understood that the vessel Is still on the free list so far as outward cargo Is concerned. She will probably have to go on the dry- dock here for a thorough overhauling, about-15 tons of! miscellaneous merchan dise. Captain Schrader said that they met the steamer Advance. Captain Bob Jones, from Tacoifta, out from Seaside off Tillamook Rock light. The Advance was on s whaling expedition, with a crew of experienced wnaiers, in an er fort to capture a whale for the A.-Y.-P. exposition. According to Captain -Schrader, the Advance had not been - successful in making a capture when he epoke them. but they were sailing up and down the coast keeping a sharp lookout, and It would be a sad day for any vanture- some wnaie woo put in an appearance. "Captain Jones, if he succeeds In cap turing a whale, wll have it embalmed and it will be put on exhibition at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition In Se attle," said Captain Schrader. "He Is the same man who tried to get backing to capture a whale for the Portland fair." MARINE NOTES Astoria, May 28.

Before the appointed hour for my ar rival at the Morgan & Atchley store on the east side I looked over the lay of the land. The Gayosa rooming house looked good to me and I Investigated. I then secreted byse'f and at a proper time I turned my trick and gained my point. The woman with the dark blue coat suit, wearing black hat, deserves the medal, as well as one or two others who were so diligent on their "still" hunt. Had you gotten busy, as my manager suggested. Instead of standing around gaping at each other, afraid to move, someone would likely have taken me doWn to The Journal office. For my escape I have to thank the very small woman wearing a light dress, who captured the big man near the side entrance of the store. The excitement she created helped me to liberty. I wantd someone to pick me up at the store so they would get that hand some Davenport offered bv the firm. ' It was a dandy, like all the rest of the goods carried by the firm.

That 4 the average college graduate 4 will find the faim better suited 4 to his capabilities than the city. 4 was the opinion expressed by 4 Joaquin Miller in an address be- 4 fore the graduating class of 4 California college In this city. 4 "Make the college graduate 4 work with his hands as well as 4 with his brain," the poet of the Sierras said. "I've seen so many 4 worthless college men that. I'm not greatly disposed to congratu- 4 late one who hab done nothing 4 but graduate. 4 "The prisons are. filled with 4 Idlers. The last tirrte I visited 4 the Pennsylvania penitentiary I 4 found 38 lawyers. 45 doctors and 4 many bankers and merchants. 4 These men were college gradu- 4 ates.
