Meier Fraii&'c Fraiic Company k Company WORTHY OF THE NAVAL HERO Gift of People of Oregon to Com mander of Famous Battleship IVliicli Bears State's 'amc Ad miral Will Be Invited Here. 3efinltle steps were taken toward a se lection of the Admiral Clark testimonial sword by the committee appointed for that purpose at its meeting yesterday afternoon. A number of designs and spec 'lflcations from various manufacturers were examined, but as the committee did not approve of any design in its entirety, a committee of three J. C. Alnsworth, Colonel David M. Dunne and Paul Wes slnger was appointed to arrange the de tails of the general design adopted, in "conjunction with Albert Feldenhelmer, 'with whom the order will be placed. The general design favored was that submitted two years ago by Mr. Felden helmer, when the proposal o a testi monial sword for the commander of the battleship Oregon was flrst suggested, and was Inscribed with the name of Captain Clark. The rank of rear-admiral has since then been conferred upon the commander, and the new design must bear the new title. Mr. Feldenhelmer's eword was designed by J. E. Osborne, the president of the New York Academy of Design, after suggestions by the Portland jeweler. Several pieces of ap propriato etching found on the other swords will be Incorporated on the new blade and Its massive scabbard. The detail committee will report to the gen eral body tomorrow and the details de cided upon will be sent by Mr. Felden helmer to the manufacturer selected, who will In turn make a complete de sign and the order will at once be placed and the work begun. The designs ex amined yesterday ranged in price from -$980 to $1200, and the cost of the selected sword will probably be near the latter figure. The members of the committee present yesterday were: J. C. Alnsworth, chair man; Colonel R. W. Mitchell, secretary: F. H. Hopkins, W. M. Ladd, Paul Wes slnger. Colonel L. L Hawkins. Colonel David M. Dunne. B. M. Brannick and A. TV. Lambert were- not present. It was not easy to pick and choose among the many beautiful and elaborate designs submitted. Those of the Shreve Company, of San Francisco, were espe cially heavy and ornate, though display ing artistic taste and excellent workman ship. The Ames Sword Company, of Massachusetts, which will probably make the blade of the sword In any case, was well represented. The designs of the Gorham Manufacturing Company had the advantage of bearing the admiral's In signia very conspicuously, as they were recently designed. The reading of the voluminous specifications required much time and, as the committee was not thor oughly satisfied, it was suggested to send for Mr. Feldenhelmer, who respqnd ed Immediately. It soon became apparent that the entire design could not be se lected then. Mr. Ladd first grasped the situation. "Mr. Alnsworth,' said he, "If you are the chairman of this committee, I wish to make a motion that a committee of three, yourself. Colonel Dunne and Mr. TVessinger, confer with Mr. Felden helmer and arrange the details, and that you report to the general committee on Yvednesday." As this seemed the only solution of the question, it was at once adopted. Secretary Mitchell reported that $1122 45 had been deposited in the bank in the name of the committee and that as sev eral towns of the state were as yet un heard from, he felt reasonably sure of $1500. Several half-promised donations from well-known men of the city are not yet In, but with the sum on hand a handsome sword, suitable in every way to the purpose, can be purchased, and the committee will no longer delay action on account of lack of funda The question of inviting Admiral Clark to Portland to receive the long-delayed testimonial was also taken up at some length. Some thought that the Admiral would be only too pleased to come and publicly receive the sword, while others thought that a man of his nature would shrink from such publicity. It was de cided to quietly ascertain the wishes of Admiral Clark on the subject before an Invitation was extended. If the invita tion is accepted, all expenses will, of course, be supplied from the fund, and the cost of the sword must therefore be somewhat regulated by the decision of Admiral Clark. There -will doubtless bo sufficient funds to expend $1200 on the eword and yet bring the Admiral West for the,pres3ntatIon, as the railroads have promised to do their share in the patri otic work. Not only will the decoration of the scabbard be done in the best of the en graver's art, but both sides of the fine steel blade will be suitably inscribed. On one side will be engraved: "Presented to Admiral Clark, of the TJ. S. S. Oregon, by the people of Ore gon, In. commemoration of the battle of Santiago, July 3. 1S9S." The reverse will be etched with a pic ture of tite famous battle, giving the names of the vessels and showing the position of the Oregon in relation to the others of the fleet. A small picture of Mount Hood will probably be ordered on either the blade or the scabbard near the hilt. The guard will -be of entwined oak leaves, symbolic of purity and strength, and the trimmings and the buckles will be of solid gold. A blue enamel shield, bearing the stars of Admiral, may be placed on the scabbard, but in any case they will be set in the handle, which will be covered with the regulation sharkskin. Part of the work of the detail committee will be to decide on the materials for the greater part of the sword. The people of Oregon who .have contrib uted to this truly patriotic cause may rest assured that the design selected will In every detail be' appropriate to the deeds of the renowned commander of the fa mous Oregon. DEPENDS ON EDUCATION. Future of American Cities Discussed by President Butler. CHICAGO, Nov. 24. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, delivered an address at the Auditorium tonight on "Municipal Education." He said that the cities of the future depend upon the fundamental education of chil dren, and that the educational problem Is the most Important problem of municipal affairs. "The city is the first manifestation of the forces which are now making great combinations of capital and creating or ganized labor. They are the outgrowth of our industrial and commercial progress, and as our manufactures and trade In crease, so will the great centers of popu . latlon Increase and multiply. The great l problem that confronts the municipality is fundamental education. It costs about a fourth, and. In some cases, a third of the entire expensV of maintaining a great city to maintain an adequate elementary educational system, but these schools must be maintained and the American type of Individualism, which Is the safety cf the Nation, must be conformed with in the teaching of the children."

Bingham was fined $20, yesterday, for contempt of court, by Justice of the Peace Reld, and warned that, if the money ia not paid within two days time, he will be Imprisoned for 10 days. The case in which the dispute oc curred was a civil suit by A. B. Keaton, to recover $98 10 from "Mrs. Margaret For rester owing for plans for a house erected at Fourteenth and Market streets. Judge Hufford represented Keaton, to whom had been assigned the claim of Emll Schacht, architect, and Mr. Bingham appeared for Mrs. Forrester. The evidence showed that Architect Schacht had been employed by Mrs. For rester to prepare three plans from which three houses were to be built, and after the plans were prepared, Lewis Hodler, son-in-law of Mrs. Forrester, concluded that there was not room In the lot for three houses, and asked "the architect to arrange for the building of two larger houses, instead of three smaller ones. At the time the plans were drawn, the archi tect etated, only one houee had been built valued at $2S03, but the Forrester people built two houses, when they had only settled with the architect for one house. A dispute took place as to what was owing the architect for the change In the plans he made, in building the second house, and he brought suit through A. B. Keaton, his assignee, to recover $9S 10. Schacht and another architect named F. Williams, testified that It Is customary for an architect to be paid 3& per cent for his work In preparing plans used In this manner, according to the valUe of the property. Lawyer Bingham had been fuming for some time In wading through the mass of evidence, and he growled out something which Justice Held did not hear, and the Justice said: "What did you say, Mr. Bingham? I beg your pardon?" "I say that It is a d d outrage the way my client has been treated," shouted Lawyer Bingham. "You are fined $10 for contempt of court," said the- Justice, sternly. Mr. Bingham immediately saw that he had gone too far, and he forgot his anger far enough to apologize to the court, prom ising not to so offend again. On this un derstanding the Justice remitted the 'fine, on condition that the offense be not re peated. In a short time after this, how ever. Lawyer Bingham placed his own witness on the stand, and because the witness possibly did ,not answer In the way the lawyer wished, Bingham ex claimed: "This Is a piece of d d stu pidity." "Mr. Bingham," said the Justice, as quickly as a flash, "I will not permit you, sir, to trifle with this court any longer. I am surprised tq find a lawyer who has the practice you have conduct himself in the maner you have ' done here. I fine you $20 for contempt of court. Do you have the money with you?" "I have not," admitted Bingham. In giving his decision as to the claim for $93 10, the Justice found for the plaintiff. "I give notice of appeal," announced Bingham, and as he was about to leave the courtroom, he said: "Judge, do you really mean to fine me $20?" "You will find that out before I am through with you," wad the reply of Justice Reld, "I give you two days In which to pay the $20, and if this is not paid you will be required to stay In jail 10 days."x COMMITTEE ON GOOD ROADS Men Who Will Conduct the Campaign Membership by Counties.

SITE FOR THE MONUMENT Committee Decides on Sixth Street, Opposite Postofilce. The committee having In charge the general soldiers' monument, which Is to be placed In the city, will meet today at 4 o'clock In the office of C. U. Gantenbeln, to hear the report of the committee on location. This committee will recom mend a site in the Postofilce block, op posite the Hotel Portland. The location which was recently turned down by the Common Council was In the center, of Sixth street, half way between Morrison and Yamhill, and would necessitate a driveway encroaching slightly upon the blocks on either side. The new location Is on the grass plat between the Postofilce building and Sixth street, and Is laid "out In such a way that only 12 feet of the circle will protrude into extra-wide Sixth street. The ground has been so diagrammed that driveways on either side will accommo date the business of the Postofilce. After a careful examination of every proposed site In various parts of the city, the lo cation committee considers the Sixth street site the only one suitable to a monument of the character proposed. If the general committee favorably con siders this site, permission to erect upon it will at once be sought from the Treas ury Department. The location commit tee' is composed of H. ,S. Rowe, General Summers,. H. C. Campbell, Ben Selling and C. E. McDonell. A GREAT BLANKET SALE Two Thousand Pairs to Be Sold fcy the Woolen Mills.
