16 THE OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1903. T. T. GEER TO LOBBY Oregon Will Send Ex-Governor to Missouri. TO WORK FOR THE 1905 FAIR Ilnee ThU State Hub Appropriated f30,0OO for St. Lonli, He IIa Con fidence Tli at Ileelprocltr Will lie Ilendtlj- Granted. Ex-Governor T. T. Gcer will B to Mis souri to represent the Lewis and Clark Exposition. He will Interview the Govern or and members of the Legislature of that wtate and will urge Missouri to-make an appropriation for the Exposition at Portland In 1905. Just as Oregon has made on appropriation for the exposition at St. Louis in 190C The Governor's high sta tion and hl aptitude for ready speaking will no doubt make him a conspicuous figure. "The legislation committee of the Lewis and Clark Board requested me to under take this mission," said the Governor yesterday. "After thinking the matter over several days I have decided to go and do what I can. Of course. I do not lenow what success I shall attain. I am not acquainted with the rftuatlon In MIs .eonrl and I cannot tell In advance how they will receive our proposals." "Should not Missouri do as well for the Lewis and Clark Exposition as Oregon will do for the Louisiana Purchase Expo sition?" was asked. The Legislature of Oregon has appropriated $30,000 for an Oregon exhibit at St. Louis. "Yes," replied the Governor, "It certain ly looks that way. They will reciprocate, I have no doubt." The Governor will start Eastward next Monday. Last night he returned to Salem. "I bhall arrive at JcfTerson City about Friday." continued the Governor. "That will be about a week before the Legisla ture of Missouri adjourns. I fhall call upon the Governor and members of the Legislature. I shall also go before the Legislative ways and means committees, Jf they are the proper bodies before which to lay our case. The Legislature may "Jeel overburdened with Its own exposition, tut It will doubtless perceive the fairness of our request." The Senatorial battle has left no scars on the Governor and he looks as if the exercise of the contest agreed with him very well. Many people think he could -win the Congressional nomination In his district If he would go for It. because he has a strong following In the First Dis trict. The counties which would probably throw their full strength to him for the nomination are Marion. Linn, Benton. Bolk and Washington. Some persons say that the Governor would not have to get the party nomination at all, because he could beat out everybody as an indepen dent candidate. By the time the Govern, or returns, the politics of his district win have warmed up several degrees. ROSES TO BLOOM AT THI3 FAIR. Committer of Itosnrlnns Will Din cms Plans Today. The rose feature of the Exposition is to be one 'of its peerless attractions. Oregon produces the most beautiful roses in the world and they will bloom at the Fair as they have never done before and as they will never bloom again. This morning at 30 o'clock a committee or rosarlans and rose specialists will meet at IK Washing ton street to consider plans lor' a rose ex hibition. The committee was appointed by P. L. Willis, chairman of the commit tee on agriculture of the Lewis and Clark board. The rose committee Is composed of: F. V. Holman, Rufus Mallory. W. H. Earnhardt,' W. S. Slbson. Fred D. Mat thews, George Otten. George S. Forsythe, Bev. T. L. Eliot. L. L. Hawkins, M. Bcheydecker, C. E. Ladd. W. A. Storey. E. C Bronaugh, P. S. Malcolm, J. C. Cooper, John F. O'Shea. The ways and means committee of the Fair board will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Tho Exposition headquarters will soon be moved from 246 Washington street. A suitable location Is now sought for.

THEY WERE BOTH SIXTEEN They Knevr Other Lads ICTio Can't IVorlc Under Child Labor Lnw, "If youse wants to know what I tints about this child-labor law, I'll tell you, I tlnk It's a good thing. And say, mister. If you want to catch some of these kids 'What are under age, I kin show you a whole bunch of tbem in a department tore up town. This -was the reply from a small messengfr boy -when the child-labor bill was explained to him and he was aeked how It would affect him. He said he was 16 years old), but he did "hot look over 10. "You can't lake me because I'm 16. I can prove it by. the old lady. I'm 16, ain't 3. Bllller BUlie said that 'he was. v "Is the cops going to take us? er, I 'mean them." asked JJHUe. "I am 16, too." -These chaps have evidently EOtA grudse egalnst another crowd -of boys for another messenger boy spoke up; "That Is a good law all Tight. I know, lots of young fellers who are under It 'working around town and If you want to catch any 61 xbem, wny, i n Help, say, is that on the level you are giving us? We- won't have to go to Jail, will we?" The boys seemed to be relieved .when they heard they would not be ''arrested Just yet, but they all stuck to the state ment that they were 16 years old and over. BAILEY DISAPPOINTED. Bin Governor's Veto of HU Pet Makes Him Sad. State Food and Dairy Commissioner J. W. Bailey is very much disappointed over bis pure food bill, which was vetoed by the Governor a few days ago, "The need of a pure food law Is greater now than It has ever been before," said Ir. Bailey yesterday afternoon. "The conditions are such, that the bill that I had drawn up would have been of great bene- -St, bow to tbe producer and the con rumer. The bill was a practical one, based on experience derived from testa and In vestigations of food and dairy products of the past tour years. The reason riven for depriving me of a chemist was that it 'would cost the state J1200 a year whrn tb tests could be made Just as well at the State Agricultural College. Shipping the articles to Corvallls would cost the state almost as much as the salary of a chemist, while the results of tests will not be as satisfactory when performed there as In Portland. Tho reason, you say? I'll tell you. Tou take this milk that some of the men put chemicals Into to preserve It, and test it while It is fresh; and the add can at once be found. But you take this same milk with the chemical In it and send it 60 or TO miles over the railroad and when It is tested there will be nothing wrong found in It. for the simple reason that owing to the jolting and the time that has elapsed the properties of the milk and chemicals have so neutralized themselves that the best chemist In the country could not discover anything wrong in the milk. I know this to be a fact, for I have tried It, and there arc men in this town that arc treating their milk In this way. and these are the fellows I could catch If that bill had be come a law. "The bill provided for a record of sales to be kept by each dairyman, so that any sickness could be readily traced and the offender punished. It Is the women and babies that suffer most from this doctored milk and the quickest way to relieve tho suffering has been destroyed. "I cannot understand why the Governor vetoed this bill when it passed the Legis lature practically unanimously and when It was supported by such men as Eddy and Judd. I can't understand It. This will prove a serious setback to my plans, but I shall do the best I can under the circumstances." CHANGE IN POLICE PATROLS Chief Hnnt Order One Day and Two MKht Shifts. A change of the police patrols will be made March 2. Instead of the old system now In vogue of having three reliefs, one of which goes on duty at 1 A. M.. another nt 1! noon, and another at 8 P. M.. thero will bo a day ."shift and two night shifts. The day jhift will be on duty until 6:30. but the men who will relieve them will go on duty at 6 o'clock In order that a double shift may be at work at the time when the streets are crowded by people going home from their work. Chief Hunt thinks that this change will make the department more efficient. In the order he also, specifies that the men on tho night shifts, which are seven and a half hours long, shall not have any time to go to a meal during their work. The policemen will not comment upon this feature of the change until they have tried it. Following Is the order: Tollce Headquarter. Portland. Or., Feb. 27. 19C3. To the Captains of Pollc: Commencing March 2, 1IKW. the following changes will be made In the police patrol system: The force will be divided Into two bodies, which will be designated as tbe day and night patrol. The day force will report for duty at 8 o'clock A. M. and report off duty at 0:30 P. M. Each oncer of the day Datrol will .be allowed one hour for lunch, and they will not be expected to leave their beats to take tbelr meals at any other time. The captain of the day force will arrange the time for the lunch hour of each officer, and the time will be so fixed that only a portion of the force will be absent from the districts -at the same time. The night force will be divided Into two re liefs, and will be designated a the first and second relief. The first relief will report for duty at C P. jr., and will remain on duty until 1:30 A. M. the following morning. No officer In this relief will be allowed to leave his beat to get a meal. The second relief of the night force will re port for d3ty at 1 o'clock midnight. They will remain on duty on their beats until 8:30 o'clock the following morning. Tbe same rule applies to the second relief as to the first relief in re gard to leaving their beats to take their meals. The day patrol will not leave their beats un til C:30 P. if. The first relief of the night patrol will begin duty at 0 P. M. This will provide for a double force on the districts during the time the streets are the most crowded with people By this rule, each relieving squad will be doing duty upon their district 30 minutes before the officers that they relieve have left their posts. The hour for holding the Police Court has been changed by order of Judge Ilogue from 1:30 o'clock P. M. to 10 o'clock A. " II, All officers who have complaints to file with tbe District or City Attorneys will be required to report at the courtroom at 9 o'clock A. M.. one hour before the session of the court, to give to the prosecuting attorneys any information that may be required of them. They, will remain at court as long as their presence la required. CHARLES IL HUNT, Chief of Police. LOSES HIS CLARET. Farmer S offers a, Henry Loss In a Street-Car Accident. "Hey therp!" Tho motorman's warning came too late, and the Mount Tabor car crashed Into Farmer Jones buggy at the corner of First and Alder. A crowd gath ered. "Is he hurt?" "So. he's not hurTt, bqt look at hla buggy," answered the luckless tiller of the soil, "both my hind -wheels gone to smithereens." At this Juncture some one discovered among the ruins a large sack, evidently saturated with blood. "Oh! Those poor chickens!" (this from a woman bystander). "Chickens! Worse than that! All that fino claret wasted." This seemed to affect Mr. Jones as being "the most, unkindest cut of all." His demijohn of claret, peacefully reposing under the seat of the vehicle, had been .completely demolished. Sympathetic by standers tied the horse to a near-by post and gathered up the ruins, while the un fortunate driver sought an expressman and a blacksmith. VETERANS AFTER PAY. Indian War Soldiers Present Claims to Adjutant-General. Indian war veterans of 1J35-56 are al ready presenting "their, claims to Adjutant General Gantenbeln. They .are premature, however, because General Gantenbeln has not been officially Informed of tho enact ment of the law. He will, as soon as pos sible, secure a certified copy of the law. and will ask Attorney-General Crawford for an opinion as to when the act will go Into effect. This will put up to the Attorney-General the question whether the initiative and referendum amendment Is valid. "All I know about the act Is what I have read In newspapers," said the Gen eral yesterday. The work of meeting the claims will be rushed forward as fast as possible as soon as the Attorney-General has given his opinion about various details of tbe act. In order to secure complete and uniform Information, the claims will be presented on blanks especially prepared for the pur pose. SOON TO APPROVE PLANS neprcsentatlve Moody Hopefal of Colombia Bar Improvement. 'Representative to Congress Moody yes terday telegraphed to the Portland Cham' ber of Commerce that tho Secretary of War would soon approve the engineers' plans for improvement of the Columbia River bar. The telegram was In response .to a dispatch from the Chamber urging ha Oregon Congressional delegation to urge early action by the Secretary. The Chamber urged the delegation also to as certain whether the .Seventeenth Regi ment, now at Vancouver, could embark at Portland for the Philippines next July. The reply contained the same informa tion as was In The Oregonlsn's dispatches yesterday that arrangements had already been ma de for transporting the troops from son Francisco. The committee of the Chamber on open riyer has asked the delegation to work for an appropriation of 5200,000 for improve ment of the Columbia River above Celllo.

MAZAMAS PLAN OUTING PILGRIMAGE THIS YEAR WILL BR MADE TO THREE SISTERS. Datea for Ascent of Middle Peak Fixed at July 12 and 13. The first official actjon regarding tho tour of tbe Mazaraas this year was taken at a meeting of the society last night. The middle peak of the Three Sisters was selected as the point of exploration and July 12 and 13 as the dates for making the ascent. The party will remain near the scene long enough to give any of Its mem bers who may wish to climb the north peak an-opportunlty to do so. There Is no record of any ono ever.havlng made the ascent of this mountain, and, as the at tempt has always been considered very hazardous, only the most venturesome will dare to go up the slope. As daring Is one of the characteristics of many of tbe Mazamas, it is not at all unlikely that some of them will reach the summit, or at least try to do so. One of the features of the trip which is somewhat unusual Is that the Mazamas will make a roundabout tour. Instead of returning borne direct from tho moun tain. As at present outlined, the party will leave Portland on July S and arrive in Eugene on the 9th. There they will be Joined by President P. L. Campbell, of tho University of Oregon, and, a number of students who have signified their in tention of making the Journey. A com missary department will be arranged, and on the 10th the Mazamas will leave for the Three Sisters. They will follow tho Mac Kenzie River and the old Military road, and on the 13th and 14th the ascent will bo mnde. After reaching the summit they will descend on the other side and go to Lebanon by way of the Santlam. Today an outing committee, which will arrange the Itinerary, will be appointed by President Rodney L. Gllsan. Tho trip will not consume more than 12 days, as many of the Portlanders, who will form the largest part of the party, do not wish to remain away longer than two weeks at the most. f LOST HIS GUN. T. F. Williams Sallies Forth to Do nr Die, and Is Thrashed Instend. A gun, a woman and a Jealous husband will form the basis of an interesting case which will appear before Municipal Judge Hogue this morning. Charlie White yes terday swore to a complaint against Tom F. Williams for threatening to kill Walter Adams, and it is understood from the statements of those concerned that Adams' wife is the caufe of alL the dis turbance. "He threatened to kill me on sight," said Adams, who is a plumber, and says that gun fighting is not in his line. "He said that In my house, and I heard him," said White, who Is the brother of Adams' wife. "I am afraid my brother-in-law will be killed If Williams is not placed under a peace bond." Now; Williams Is a business man. being the proprietor, of the Northwest Condi ment Company's factory, and says that, while he Is not a gun fighter, he carries a gun when he thinks his life Is in danger. "I plead guilty to being drunk and carrying- concealed weapons," "he cald when he was arraigned, "but I did not threaten to kill Adams. He threatened to kill me, and I had the gun to protect myself with." -ne trouble Is this," explained Will lams to a reporter yesterday: "Adams' wife left him some time ago, and he blamed It on me. I had no connection with it,- but he thought I did, and said he would shoot me on sight." By way of preventing such a happening, the de fendant argues he put a gun in his pocket and sauntered toward the home of his threatener. for the purpose of explaining things. He didn't mean to cause any trouble Just wanted to have the gun along for protection in case Adams should want to carry out his threat to shoot him on sight. Adams was at White's home, and neither he nor his brother-in-law gave Williams a cordial, greeting. "They both Jumped onto me at once," explained the defendant; "took my gun away from me, then, when I was power less to resist, gave me a sound beating." To prove his statement, he pointed to a pair of badly blacked eyes and a much bruised face. The story of Williams' visit to the house, as told by his accusers, was all the other way. Entering boldly, the enraged man. who, by the way, they also say was very much intoxicated, waved his gun and said he would shoot Adams on sight. The dangerous weapoa was pointed without Judgment at women, men or any one that came within sight. He was angry, and wanted them to know that he would as soon shoot them as look at them. As the many witnesses to the acts of violence were not present, the case was not tried yesterday. NARROW ESCAPE. Heavy Refrleerntor Fell an George Vedder, Who In Xot Badly Hurt. Although crushed beneath the weight of a COO-pound refrigerator, George Vedder, clerk for Pratl, Hegele & Co:, Is still alive, and, according to the doctor's state ment, not permanently Injured. He Is suffering Intense pain, however, from the Injuries he sustained, and will not be able to work for some time. Dr. Ambrose Johnson was called soon after the acci dent, and after a careful examination concluded that the suffering was caused frcm an injury to the sciatic nerve. As far as he could tell there were no bonVs broken. All the clerks were asked to assist in removing the rcfrlgeratoryesterday morn ing from the place where it was standing to another part of the store. Vedder was walking beside the clumsy structure, attempting to keep It in an upright po sition, while some of the other -men were moving it along. The power did not seem to be equally divided, however, and the weight was all thrown In the direction of Vedder, and his strength was not suf ficient to check it. The others tried to prevent the refrigerator from falling, but were not la time. As Vedder lay be neath the load that was upon him. his fellow-workmen thought he was badly In jured, and summoned medical assistance. The pain he suffered led them to think that one or several bones must be broken. Cocaine was administered to relieve him until the doctor came, and he was then taken to his home. The doctor Is sure that the Injuries are not of a permanet nature, and' says that the suffering Is due to a strain that fell upon the scleatlc nerve when he was beneath the weight of the refrigerator.
