ALL cH|Nks LOOKED ALIKE
So Those Caught in Police Raid Were
Freed Because They Couldn't
Be Identified.

PORTLAND, March 4.-AlthOugh re-
garded as a subterfuge, one of the most
novel points ever raised in a Chinese
gambling case in the police court and
which resulted in the acquittal of II
MongOlians arrested in a raid made on
the fantan resort at 1876 Second street
last Wednesday, was used to advantage
this morning by Attorney Logan.
In the raid made by Detectives Kay
and Lienlin six Chinese were found in
an abandoned kitchen in the rear of the
gambling room and six others We're
found in the main room. Logan ap-
peared in court unaccompanied by any
of his clients and demanded that he
police identify those Asiatics who were
in the kitchen and those who were in
the gambling resort proper.
AS the Chinese were not present the
officers were unable to answer the
question from the names on the docket
| and would have been just as much at
sea if the defendants had been in the
court room. Accordingly Logan asked
{ for a dismissal of the cases, which was
promptly granted by the court.
The evidence secured by the police
consisted of heavily barred door, a
quantity of the beans used in the game
and the gambling table. Judge Cameron
in a decision rendered several weeks
ago held that where all these things
are in evidence and the fact that a
number of persons congregate in q
room behind barricaded doors the pre-
sumption is that something of an illeg-
al nature is in progress and found the
defendants guilty.
In this case he reserves his former
decision on the Identification feature
To all those familiar with the arrange
ment of the place, it is known that the
kitchen has not been used for a long
| time and the only entrance is through
a door from the gambling room.

keeper. The charge was made to the
states attorney.
Miss Dixon was employed by the
company here for year and half,
but no suspicion attached to her until
toward the close of her term, when
three remittances in succession to the
Chicago Office, which We're sent only
by her, went astray. The total was
$4,000.
When pressed for a statement Miss
Dixon secured delays under various
pretexs until finally the agent sent for
the companys auditor. A thorough
examination was made, but the audi
tor was handicapped by the disCov-
cry that about 80 pages Of the ledger
We're missing, having been cut out with
a knife.
After making the best possible ex-
amina ton the auditor reported a
shortage of 5000. The agent prompt
ly drew a check for the amount.
Miss Dixon denied all knowledge of
the missing money, but still declined
to furnish any statement. She attrib-
uted everything to burglars.
Miss Dixon is still confined to her
room by sickness. 1t is believed that
she will not be able to go to the
courtroom for arraignment until next
Saturday.

PARIS, March Am full view Of a

telephotography.
Professore Korn of Munich, the inven-
tor of the telephotography, or the
method of sending photographs by wire.
This method, which will undoubtedly
gain for the professor the undying
hatred of the criminal fraternity, is
destined to revOlutiOnize illustrated
Journalism.
In the course of his remarks the
professor said that the method of
transmitting photographs by biography
was as yet in it's infancy, but still, in
spite Of this, it had now reached prac-
teal stage and he did not see why it
should not be adopted by enterprising
newspapers.
He went on to say that the distance
which the picture Of President Faller-
les had just travelled did not repres-
ent anything like the limit of his in
vention. An extra 500 miles would
make no difference at all and he con-
fidently expected to see the time when
the old world would be able to keep
in even closer touch with the new,
when pictures sent from America would
reach here as quickly as a message
by wireless telegraphy.

in the SIoop's Cabin.

SOffSTSuCSS III kUS 0IOOp SdUtIIs
In the cabin of the Maria the chan
cellor and Fulton often discussed the
problem of steam navigation as
quicker means of communication, and
a more reliable power than wind, and
around the captains table talked over
their plans. the obstacles encountered
and the cause of their failure. On a
voyage up the river the three decided
to attempt once more to solve the
problem and use every means to sue
coed. They went to work. Chancel-
Tor Livingston furnished the capital.
Robert Fulton obtained from Scot
land, a Watt engine of 20 horsepower
with copper boiler which he adapt
ed to his plans. while Capt. Brink set
about embodying his ideas as to what
the craft should be from his expert
ence as a navigator Of the Hudson The
latter part of the year 1906 and until
midsummer of 1907, were spent upon
the boat and the engine, to the ridicule
of many of the acquaintance Of the
captain in his home town. Even his

replied that he would soon go to Al

RARE HALF DOLLARS.
Good Specimens Of Those Dated 1896
and 1897 Are Valuable.


The half dollar is one of the most
plentiful of all the series of United
States coins, having been issued regu-
larly each year with but five excep-
lions since the coinage of the demon
nation first began in 1874. These
exceptions were the years 179S. 1899,
1900 1903 and 1916.
This is the reason why so few Of
them are rare nowadays and that
many specimens of the early dates are
to be had for little more than face
value In a condition that would indi-
cate they were only year or two
old, instead of dating back nearly a
hundred years, as many do.
Altogether there have been issued
235 varieties Of the half dollar, and all
of the branch minis have struck coins
in this denomination, except those OF
Dahlonega, Ca, and Charlotte, n. c.,
which were authorized to strike only
gold coins.
The very rare half dollars are those
dated 1796 and 1877. OF those of 1796
teen stars on the diverse around the
bust of Liberty, the other with sixteen
stars. Each of these two varieties
has brought over 500 when in per-
feet condition.
The 1897 half dollar is the next
rarest. and very fine specimen Of
this coin has brought as much as 500,
The next rarest is the 1888 half dollar
struck at New Orleans, with the mint
letter 80" under the bust. This coin
is worth from $50 to SIS. Another
rare half dollar was struck at the
| San Francisco mint in 1866. This
coin omits the motto Of "In God We
Trust" which is borne by all the other
varieties of the year, and is valued
at $24-Elder Monthly.

What is Real Money?

Perhaps this is as good time as
any to refresh the ordinary mind with
a few of the facts about money.
1t almost passes comprehension how
befuddled some people are i'll regard
to this matter after all that has been
said and written on the subject with
in the last eleven years. 1t will sur
prise most people, for example, TO be
told that very large portion of the
money which passes current among us
is not legal tender for debt. that is a
person owing an obligation could not
compel the acceptance of gold certi-
ficates or national bank notes. The
two former represent actual gold and
silver money deposited in the vaults
of the treasury &C Washington or in
some of the sub. treasures. They are
used merely for convenience. AS for
the national bank notes they do not
differ very materially from the cash
ier's checks which are now being used
as an emergency currency in this and
other cities. Any one having a
national bank note about him may
look for himself and see what it is.
He will find that it is merely the
promise of some n tional bank to pay
money signed by the president and
secretary. Your cashiers check is
the bank issuing it to pay money,
signed by the cashier. The security
for the national bank note tot he govern
ment is the president and cashier. Your
security the treasury at Washington.
The security for the cashiers checks
are the bonds. mortgages, notes, etc..
owned by the bank and held in it's
vaults. So it will be seen that these
cashiers checks are currency, just as
actually currency as national bank
notes are. Cedar Rapids Republican.

CONDITIONS ON MARS.
Days and Years and Light and Heat on
the Red Planet.

The DAYS in Mars are of about the
same length as ours-24 hours, 80 min
utes. % seconds. Mars makes her
orbit around the sun in a little more
than CSC days; therefore the seasons
are almost twice as long as they are
with us. The atmosphere of Mars Is
rich in watery vapors. Oceans can ee
seen, and at the poles thick ice, which
melts when summer comes. The va
rations in temperature are extreme.
Mars receives only half as much solar
heat as our globe does. The sun ap-
pears half as large, and the nights
receive their light from two moons:
which are smaller than ours-DeimOs
and PhobOs.
The weight is such that one Of our
Kilograms would only weigh 376 grams
there. A man is only able to carry his
own weight on his back. Transported
to Mars, he could carry three times as
much, something like 225 kilos. In
taking observations of Mars through
the telescope one can see distinct red
disk, marked with more or less bril-
liant spots. Some of the spots which
are greenish are the oceans; other very
red ones are the continents, greater
in extent than the oceans, which is the
opposite to the way the earth is dis
posed The most brilliant spots are
the ice covered regions of the poles,
and the clouds are almost equally
bright The atmosphere of Mars Is
more transparent than ours, and its
sky is incomparably clear.
The waters Of Mars are more divided
and distributed in inland seas joined
by long arms, which are sometimes in
curving, but oftenest almost rectilinear,
and which mark the brilliant surface
with dark lines, just as the line Of
lead divides the panes of glass in our
church windows. All these dark lines
form a pattern which is relatively
symmetrical and which does not seem
to have been made by chance. A plan
so regular must have been designed,
and for long time the observers Of
Mars have been disposed to consider
these lines as canals dug by the inhab-
itants of the planet for the needs of
their ivilization.-Charles Torquet in
Metropolitan Magazine.

Stars and Storms.

Most people suppose that when tho
stars appear to lose their liveliness of
light and shine without twinkling, as
minute bright points in the sky, fair
weather is in prospect. Studies lately
made in this country seem to contra
dict this popular belief. 1t has been
found that when the stars are feeble
in their scintllations foul weather is
at hand. The night before a most vio-
lent storm! in the south, for instance,
the stars hung so quietly in the sky
that they seemed to have entirely lost
their scintillating power.
This is said to be only one instance
among many which show that an I'M
usual steadiness in the light Of the
stars precedes the appearance Of
stOrms.--Minneapolis Journal.
