Anaconda authorities bellev that Dr.
Tau w a member of a hlirhblndar or
Kinlxatlon and cama to Anaconda for the
purpose of helping' the Chinese, rambler
In their fl?ht against a reform faction of
Chinese.
Tha" explosion of the bomb la believed
accidental.
It la also thought that Dr. Tau wo r
rponalble for the amugRllnr of $2,100 worth
of opium Into Anaconda, Only a few
hour befora the tragedy he waa aub-
Jected to a federal Investigation.
I.m-al fhlaeae KaeKed.
Tha death of Dr. Tau haa created a
ware of esclteinent In tha local Chlnea
colony. '
For over a year Dr. Tafi conducted the
affair of tha "Joy Pea Hong" Herb com
pany at Nineteenth and Cnpltol avenue,
and later occupied aulte on lower
Douglaa atreet.
Ha waa well known, but not popular.
A to hie pait tha Omaha Chlneae who
knew htm ara exceedingly reticent How
ever. It waa learned by the police In
veatlratlntr tha local end of tha affair
that tbe doctor put In a good deal of tila
time In playing fan-tan In Ciilneaa atorei
hem where gambling among tha Chlneae
la permitted and that he waa aomethlng
eM bealdea a herb doctor. He lived In
Omaha up to a week ago, when ha packed (
up and left. Mon fliil. hla ronaln, lived in
Omaha up to a year ago and Is aleo
known here.
Since tho tragedy the local police have
been lntercated In Dr. Tau'a life here and
government oflclala have aleo been at
-wofk, but tho results of their Investiga
tion are meager.

Portable Schobls

,, The portable school houses purchased
by the Board of Education to relieve the
'congestion In the puhllo schools have'
been erected, furnaces Installed and Mon-
day morning the one at Centra school
will be given a trial. This achool will
accommodate forty-eight puplla.
. Huperlntendont Duncan Flnlayaon of
school buildings liaa advocated the con
jrructlon of permanent annexes to re
lieve the congestion, but the achool board
bHIevea the portable achool house, which
la much cheaper, may serve the same
purpose. .,'
"The only difficulty we believe we prob
ably may nounter In the use of these
echoola Is that of heating them If the
weather becomes very cold," said upar
Irtendent E. U. Graff. "However, there
are double floors, good heating arranga
nmnts and the fact that these schools
. are ' used In Alaska successfully, I un
derstand. At the most .they are make
sliKU. temporary affairs and ' as such
are much less expensive than a perma
mnt building."
In case these two portable houses prove
satisfactory the school board may pur
chase others. ;

Oma Hotel Case to
- Be Dropped by tfye
Local Officials
The Oma hotel case. Involving the op-
eratlon of the Albert law, sent back for a:
ntw trial by the supreme court, will be
dropped by local officials.
Passage of time and changea of man-,
agement of the hotel practically have
resulted In an abatement of the case, ac-
cording to County Attorney Magney. The
witnesses, who were furnished by the j
Anti-Saloon league, are no longer In'
Omaha.
."The supreme court would require morej
evidence than we had before to sustain
a conviction, whereas we would have
far less testimony," said County AttoV-i
ney Magney. "Another trial would be
UM-tess."
County Attorney Magney declared that '
according to his experience the Albert '
law la much more effective as a threat j
than aa an actual weapon. ' I
"1 have compelled more than lis) places ,
to be vacated during the lart year by
w arnlng the owner that I was about to j
Institute Albert law proceedings," he j
raid. "The owner then ousts Ms tenant.
This Is the only result we can secure by
taking the case to trial under the de
cisions of the courts. The net result is
that the old tenant is ousted,"
