BEAT A CHINAMAN.
Charles earns did End has Been Bound
Over to Circuit Court.

The brutal assault of a China
man by Charles earns, and the be-
lief for time that the victim might
not recover was a star event of the
past day or two in. Corvallis. Ac-
cording to all accounts the assault
was both cowardly and wanton.
The Chinaman face was beaten
almost to ajelly. There is a deep
cash across the forehead. Both
eyes are still closed. Fora time
the victim was unconscious, but he
is much better today and his re-
covery is sssured. earns fled inn
mediateIy after the assault, and was
captured in Alsea yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Rycraft. Hardy
Mccormick and Constable Wells
brought him to Corvallis, where he
was at once lodged in jail
The victim is an inofensive
old Chinaman known to everybody
as "Old Tom" He is connected
with the laundry east across the
street from Horning's. He also
opens oysters at Wiley's. He has
an affection of the hip that makes
him a cripple, and he probably
never harmed a living thing in his
life. .
At 2 o'clock today earns was
arraigned upon charge Of assault
and battery, the proceedings being
in the nature of an examination,
instead of a trial, the result Of
which would necessarily result
ither in the acquittal of the de-
fendant, or his being bound over
to the circuit court. earns chose to
have no attorney, and after some
explanations by Justice Holgate
and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Bryson. decided to waive examin-
alton. On account of the posi-
biity Of more serious results than
are now deemed probable from
the assault, the bonds were placed
at 81 900. Cams believes that he
will be able to give the required
bond.

District Attorney Brown has to
say About it.

In speech before a jury last
spring. District Attorney George
M. Brown said many compliment
ary things about the standard of
citizenship in Corvallis and Benton
county. The TINES publishad a
portion of Mr.. Browns remarks,
and the extract was widely publish
ed. II haven't gone back on what
I said then," said Mr.. Brown Wed
nesday. Its all true. The people
of Benton county ought to be proud
of their citizenship. They have
but little use for courts and district
attorneys. When / come to Cor
Wallis to attend court, get lonely
sitting in the grand jury room
waiting for complaints to come
Trivial complaints belonging in a
justice rather than the circuit court
are about all that c me before me.
Hunting without license OF kind
red offenses are the usual character
of wrong doing that 1 meet with,
when sitting as a grand jury in
Benton county, I have served
here as district attorney for ten
years and have never had a murder
case in the county. A burglary

and occasional ofenses of that char.

part of my duties as prosecutor dur

MILKING MACHINE Is HERE.
VIII be Used for Testing Purposes at
the College-Something
About it.

The milking mackine at the col
lege has arrived. AS was related
some time ago in the TIMES, test
of the appliance is to be made with
a view to determining it's practic-
ability. The test will last over a
period of one year and will be
very thorough. The milking herd
will be divided into two groups
with the milking capacity of each
as nearly balanced as possible. The
milk product from each group will
bs tested regularly, both from the
meteorological and chemical stand
point. That will determine, the
relative cleanliness of the hand and
machine process and settle the
question of whether the machine
method is more cleanly and with a
milk product of better keeping
qualities as is claimed for machine
drawn milk. Besides the matter of
practicability, the question of econ
omy will be determined by the test.
1t will also be feature to deter
mine the effect of the machine upon
the cow both physically and mental
1y. A fear is that the machine
method of milking will tend tomake
the COW nervous, and that a shrink
age in the milk flow will result.
All these and various other points
will enter into the test, and the re-
suits will be not only of extreme in
terest, but of great value, especially
since Oregon is moving to the front
as an important factor in the dairy
Industry. t
The machine is to be run by ar
engine. The motive power where
electric power is available, as is the
case in some Eastern states is elect
ricity. Two cows are MIXED at E
time. The teat cups are of rubber
4 and are of various sizes so the teal
may be properly fitted. The
vacuum is the vital principal or
which the device operates. The
engine operates a sort of pump
that connects by proper pipes will
the teat cups. A pulsating Aacuun
causes the milk to flow from tn,
teats into the cups and thenc'
through the pipes into the prope
receptacle. The device connect
: with each stall, making the pro-
cess of attaching the cups to th'
teats about all the operator has t.
do in the actual process Of milking
The running of the engine, and tn
subsequent cleaning of the pipe
and connections are of course to b
, taken into consideration as a par
of the trouble. The cost OF the ma
chine laid down in Corvallis i
about $3.50. The machine will b
set to work about the 9TH of Jan
, uary, according to present plans
The men and women. too, perhaps
who have been milking cows b,
. hand all these years will have mucl
curiosity to see the new device il
motion, as all will have full oppor
tunity to do.

JAPANESE EXCLUSION is LABOR ISSUE, SAYS METCALF
Limitation for Oriental Pupils
Submitted Conqress-Rooseve

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The report of
Secretary Metcalf, late of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, made to
President Roosevelt after the investi-
cation of the complaints by Japanese
of discrimination in being barred from
the public schools of San Francisco.
was submitted to congress today by the
president. In presenting the report the
chief executive makes the following
statement:
81 enclose herewith for your infor-
nation the final report made to me
personally by Secretary Metcalf on the
situation affecting the Japanese in San
Francisco. The report deals with three
matters of controversy-first. the ex-
clusion of the Japanese children from
the San Francisco schools; second, the
boycotting of Japanese restaurants,
and, third acts of violence committed
against the Japanese.
Number is Small.
"As to the first matter, | call your
especial attention to the very small
of Japanese children who at
tend school, to the testimony as to the
brightness, CledulluSSS, anu SOOu DS-
havior of these Japanese children in
the schools, and to the fact that, owing
to their being scattered throughout the
city. the requirement for them all to go
to one special school is impossible of
fulfillment and means that they can
not have school facilities. Let me
point out further that there would be
no objection whatever to excluding
from the schools any Japanese on the
score of age. 1t is obviously not de-
sirable that young men should go to
school with children. The only point
is the exclusion of the children them
selves. The number of Japanese chill
dren attending the public schools in
San Francisco was very SMALL The
government has already directed that
suit be brought to test the constitu-
tionality of the act in question; but my
very earnest hope is that such suit will !

70 public schools of the city. which was
done by act of the board of education
in effect Oct. Is. last. These children
are now supposed to attend school at
"a separate building. which they can
not do for the reason that they would
have too great a distance to travel.
The secretary finds that the princI-
pal objection to the orientals lies in
the custom of sending those of advanc-
ed age to school with white children of
tender years. He is of the opinion that
a simple provision regulating this mat
ter would solve the difficulty.
In the course of his report Mr. Met
calf submits. as showing the spirit
which has at least in part inspired op-
position to the Japanese. evidence to
prove that a recent labor boycott of
Japanese restaurants was called off
upon payment of sum of money to
labor leaders. The inference is also
given that the police were lax in pre-
venting violence in such cases.
View of the Other Side.
Dealing with the view of those favor
ing Japanese exclusion from the school
the report says:
The press of San Francisco pretty
generally upholds the action of the
board of education. OF the attitude of
the more violent and radical newspa-
pers it is unnecessary to speak further
than to say that their tone is the usual
tone of hostility to "Mongol hordes,"
and the burden of their claim is that
japanese are no better than Chinese
and that the same reasons which die
tated the exclusion of the Chinese call
for the exclusion of the Japanese as
well.
The temper and tone of the more
conservative newspapers may better be
by an epitome of their argu-
nient upon the public school question.
That argument practically is as fol-
lows: The public schools of California
are a state and not federal institu-

OTHERS TO BE DIsINTERRED
Evidence Tending to Fix Terrible
Series of Crimes on Herman
Billik.

Chicago Dec. 1S.-POisOn was re-
sponsible for the death of at least two
of the Vrzal family, six of whom died
within few months of each other in
the past year. Herman Billik, for
tune teller, is now in Jail on the charge
of having administered poison to the
family SO the mother of the children
could collect the insurance money.
Mrs. Vrzal was found dead in her
home two weeks ago. A few hours af-
terward investigation into cause of
the death of other members of the fam
lily was begun. At first it was believed
she committed suicide, but the police
are of the opinion the same agency that
caused the death of the children also
was responsible for her death.
Positive Evidence Secured.
Positive evidence of the. presence of
poison in the internal organs of Ella
and Mary, two daughters of Mrs. Vrzal,
whose bodies were eXhumed last week.
was discovered by Professor Walter NJ.

senic was found in the livers and stom-
achs of both the victims, and it was
there in sufficient quantities to cause
death, according TO the physicians. AT
