The State Department is Watching Closely the Attempts of
Chinese Merchants to
Issue Taken With Secretary Taft Tliut Will Greatly Embarrass That Offi
cial If Ills Position la Not Retracted or .Modified Chinamen the World
Over Are Organizing a Campaign of Retaliation Against the fulled States
Which Will lie Political and Commercial Scandals In the Agricultural
Department Occupy Much of Kiki swell's Attention Today.
Washington, July 31. The state de
partment is watching closely the In
dividual efforts of Chinese merchants
to put this government In a hole by
the boycott of banking corporations
and other lines of business. No offi
cial opinion is yet expressed publicly
by the department, but the absolute
official opinion Is that If China would
officially indorse, the action of certain
organizations In Hongkong and else
where, then this government would
be obliged to. take a stand.
It can be stated on authority that
the United States will not allow the
merchants of a few cities in China to
bully It into acquiescing with an irra
tional demand for the better treat
ment of Chinese Interests In this coun
try even though the secretary of war,
while acting as secretary of state, said
! in a public speech that the Chinese
exclusion laws were harshly enforced
against the Chinese. It la admitted
here privately that Mr. Taft made a
mistake In two regards.
First, he did not tuke into account
the number of fraudulent Chinese ad-
I mlHalnna linnu-n In ihn rienn rt men! nf
Secretary Mctcalf; second, he did not
specify one case in which the low had
i been construed unjustly agains. a eln-
g'e Chinese.
There Is the best of reason for stat
ing .that Secretary Taft after his visit
to the east, and especially to Manila,
is expected to bring bock with him
some reasons or at least excuses for
his statements in which he will be
combatted . before congreBS by Secre
tary Mctcalf, bv Mr. F. P. Sargent,
commissioner general of immigration
nnd by the facts known to this gov
ernment. The issue between Taft and
the anti-Chinese element has been
only half made up. His answer Is
awaited.
Chinamen Organizing.
Seattle, July 31. Chinamen in all
parts of the world have been banded

pany, the IcadingChlnese rlrm in Se
attle, today. No details are mentioned
as to the amount the local Celestials
will be asked to contribute, but the
statement is made at the Wa Chong
store that no matter what the amount
asked Is, It can be raised in a day.
All the funds gathered will be for
wurded to an association recently
formed in China and by It disbursed
Agents of tlii association, it Is stated

States In a few weeks and will be dis

Iocal Chinamen sny they have been
aware of the movement for some time
and declare that the present boycott
by the laboring element of China
against the United States is a part of
the original plan.

of about $3,500,000 In the deficit for
this month as compared with that for

ership. Boston, July 31. Several thousand
persons this afternoon heard Mayor
Edward F. Dunne, of Chicago, deliver
an address on "Municipal Ownership"
at the annual outing of the Tammany
club, a democratic organization In
West Roxbury.
The speaker vli?orously defended
himself against statements which had
been published that he had recanted
his faith In municipal ownership, say
ing: "I am glad to state to you that the
cause of municipal ownership is as
ardently espoused by me today as It
has been for several years past and
that I am as confident of Its ultimate
consummation as I have ever been at
any time In my life.
"I confidently predict from what I
know of the people of Chicago that
within a very short time it will have
the proud distinction of being the first
city In the United States to be the
owner of its own street car system,
and when once that great city has
proved that municipalization of street
car plants Is an assured success It will
mean that hundreds of other Ameri
can cities will follow in her wake and
accomplish an economic revolution to
the great' advantage of the people of
this country."

Saloons.

Yesterday and AH Hut Four Places)
OiH'iiod Up Early Yesterday Morn
inn District Attorney Says the Law
Will Ho Rigidly Enforced All Vio
lations Will Be Followed by Arrest
and Cases WiU He Tried in Circuit
Court.
District Attorney O. W. Phelps this)
morning issued on order to Sheriff
Taylor to close and keep closed, all
the saloons In Pendleton on Sunday
hereafter, in accordance with the
statutes of Oregon.
This action is the result of the open
ing of all the saloons yesterday, in tha
forenoon.
For some time past the saloons have
remained closed in the forenoon, by
mutual agreement none of them open
ing until 1 o'clock in the afternoon,
but of late some of the dives and sec
ond class places have broken their
contract and agreement and have been
opening early Sunday morning.'
Because of this failure on part of
the dives to observe their agreement,
all of the saloons agreed late last week
to open as usual Sunday morning, and
accordingly, everything was In full
blast yesterday from early morning:
until after midnight lost night -
Complaint was made of the viola
tion of the Sunday closing law th
morning before District Attorney -Phelps
and accordingly he ordered the
sheriff to close everything and sea
that it la kept closed. AH violation
of the law will be prosecuted to tha
limit, hereafter.
If the saloons violate the law, com
plaint will be made against each one,
and each proprietor will be bound
over until the next term of circuit,

! twecn now and the time court con
! venes, which will be In October.
not
As there are about 10 Sundays be
tween now and the opening of court. -the
total fine for violations of thf
law, should there be a violation each
Sunday, would amount to about $250
each, as they will be prosecuted on
each separate offense.
The Law Enforcement league, which.
Is now composed of over 300 voters in '
the city of Pendleton, is determined!
to make a test of the law. mid If It is
not satisfactory to the public, some
effort will be made at the n-xt session
of the legislature to modify or change
it to fit the public demand.
Sheriff Taylor and deputies ulll no
tify every saloon In the city of the or
der to close and the matter will be
closely watched to see that side and
back doors are closed, as well as front
doors.
Yesterday morning four places were
found to be closed in the forenoon ac
cording to agreement, as follows: The
Oregon Liquor House, Anton Nolte,
The Maze and the Brewery saloon on
Court street. All tho other place
were open early in the forenoon, and
in the afternoon every place in the city
was open.
Complaint is made by farmers that
the open saloon Sunday demoralizes
farm work during harvest, as crew
come to town and remain all day Sun.
day and all Sunday night and as a re
sult are unfit for work on Monday or
quit their Jobs, and harvest is thus
delayed and loss occasioned, and the
farmers blame Pendleton for the con
dition. District Attorney Phelps declared
that he would vigorously prosecute
any one found violating the law, as it
is a plain statute, over which there
has never been any question and It
will hereafter be enforced as long as
witnesses can be found who will com
plain of its violation.
A majority of the better class of sa
loon men wish to close on Sunday, but
the cheap places and dives will not do
so, and consequently the better places
must remain open or lose business.
The agreement to close half a day
would have been satisfactory to a
large number of people, who now de
mand Sunday closing, had the agree
ment been observed by all. But now
that the dlve-kcepcrs will not stand
by a contract, the law will be Invoked
for every separate violation of which
they ore guilty.
