SCHUMANN IS FACETIOUS
House Refuses to Reconsider Vote by
Which Woman Suffrage Reso-
luton Was Defeated.

Schuman. Of Multnomah. almost sue
ceeded In creating panic at the Joint
session Of the assembly yesterday by
rising to explain his vote. Everybody
looked for a break in the votes Of the
Democracy. Members listened with
bated breath and lobbyists stood on
tip-toe to catch every word that might
drop from the lips Of the Multnomah
tombstone man
II have voted for one man seventeen
times" begOn Schuman, and time has
arrived for US to elect United States
senator. Such being the case, I again
desire 20 cast my vote for Hon. Will
liam Smith, Of Baker"
This speech brought down the house
and It was some minutes before order
could be restored.
The only change In the ballot ytster-
day was the break Of DR.. A. G. Smith
Of Multnomah. from George II. Will
liams to Binger Herman. Smith has
been a Mcbride man and has voted
with the McBfiIe faction until yester-
day. His vote FIR HerHpnn IS con-
sidered significant. and ii Is freely pre-
dicted that he will soon be Corbett
man. McBrde's strength, with tbs
exception Of Smith. again went to Geo
II. Williams. while the Democrats stay
cd with Senator Smith.
The ballot was as follows: Col bett
30; Williams, %; Smith. Is; Herman
G; absent, 4; not voting, /.
Immediately after convening at il:3C
in the morning, the house was Civer
another opportunity to vote upon ths
senate amendment. Eddy moved that
as a matter Of courtesy, the vote by
which the resolution wag last week de-
feated, be reconsidered. The house
however, was in no mood to change It's
attitude towards the suffrage question
and the motion to reconsider was lost
by a vote Of 2S to q.
The committee on game, forestry and
game fishes reported substitute for
the general game bill, introduced by
Eddy. The substitute bill is the result
Of much labor on the part OF the COM
mittee, all interests and every section
Of the state being consulted in its
preparation.
In the senate yesterday morning
Looney's bill to provide for the election
Of a dairy and food commissioner was
read the third time. but action was
postponed until later.

ing $4,000 toward the erection Of a

supposed. thtfeeis 4 woman Ii tie case
and Il Is for possession Of her that the
Chinese are on the verge pf hoatiil.
lies Any day q murder may be COM
mltted In the Chinese quarter as re-
suit Of the present III feeling for the
situation has become strained
Inong shu Wong was kidnapped from
her family circle week ago and her
whereabouts are stiIl q mystery, Two
Cinnamon called at the police station
last Monday and reported to the au-
thorities that the woman was missing
and that with her had gone $500 IN
cash, Particulars at the time were
lacking. and It was presumed that Mrs.
Wong had eloped with a queue longer
than her husbands. and one whose line
Of ancestral tablets extended to the
fifth generation. This first supposItlon
has since proved to be incorrect. and
the statement is made that the woman
was stolen, kidnapped in Chinatown.
While the male members Of the fam
ily were absent a week ago three MEM
bers Of the Bow Ling Tong. strong
highbinder organization in Portland, a
branch Of the national association In
China, entered the premises. The trio
of thugs seized Mrs. Wong and forci-
bly, carried her away II Is believed
that they also ransacked the rooms
and stole the $500 st the same time.
The object Of the kidnapping was for
ransom. with the alternative OF selling
the victim as a slave. So far as learn
led, the demand for ransom has not
yet been made.
Ascertaining that the Bow Ling Ting
had taken the woman and that the lat
ter had been concealed In Portland,
they began making efforts to locate
and recover the Celestial maid. Ill
win has naturally become engendered
between the despoiIed family and the
highblnders, and each is preparing for
campaign Of aggression as well as
Of defense.
In order TO strengthen its force OF
fighters In case a climax is reached.
the Bow Ling Tong has sent to AS
tcria for three Of It's hatchet men.
Hatchet men are those members Of
hlghblnder solceties whose duty 1t is
to murder whomeyer and whenever
they receive instructions. They are the
scum OF the Chinese nation. men that
have left their native land for the
iatter's good. In China these hatch
ct men are frequently connected with
the mandarins, acting as police. but
generally as brigands. They blackmais
wealthy citizens and have never been
known to hesitate at murder.

WHAT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR.

Wherever the American flag is raised
in token OF sovereignty. 1t stands for
liberty. independence and equality.
What our flag is to the nation, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is TO the individ-
Ual inasmuch as Il not only gives you
freedom from your ailments but pro-
tects your system in such a manner
that they cannot return. When your
stomach gets out Of order, causing you
TO belch after eating. or when you are
so nervous that you toss about all
night, unable to sleep. you should GER
tainly try it, because 1t will strengthen
your stomach, steady your nerves, and
induce sound healthy sleep, and for in
digestion, constipation and biliousness,
there is nothing to equal II. Rheuma-
tism is also counteracted by its direct
action on the kidneys.
