A question as to the route over which the President shall le driven divides the General committee in charge of the plans for the Executive's reception. Back of the division of opinion on this subject Is the question of the condition of several of Portland's streets. This question will be settled today by a special committee which will drive over different thorough lares and determine whether the Presi dential carriage can be drawn through them without jarring the Executive too much. If It is found questionable, the municipal Street Department or City En gineer will be directed to All up the holes In the asphalt pavement or other Improve ments. The general committee met last night In, the rooms of the Commercial Club, and,- beyond designating a committee to reach an agreement upon all the plans for the President's reception, did not ac complish anything. A division of senti ment regarding the hour at which the ex ercises connected with the laying of the corner-stone for the Lewis and Clark monument was the first obstacle In the way of a settlement of the detailed pro gramme, and the matter of streets to be traversed caused the next trouble. Rival committees had different ideas re garding the President's -visit to the monu ment's site. It was proposed by one that he should be driven to the park without a stop at the Hotel Portland, and by an other that be should first review the school children. It was impossible to harmonise the two reports, and Anally the entire question was submitted to the committees on details of the programme and arrangements which will act with the chairmen of the finance and reception committees. This peclal committee is expected .to settle all questions 'with reference to the President's vitlt. It will report upon the decorations to be attempted, the pro gramme which will be followed, and also upon the amount of money that will be needed to carry out the programme adopt ed. Tills report will bs formulated before next Monday evening, when the general committee is to meet again. The special committee held a short meet ing late last evening. It was stated the President desired to see as much as pos sible of Portland, and would prefer drives to receptions or public meetings. The committee, however, was In a quandary as to the condition of certain of Port land's streets. This matter was settled by W. D. Wheclrisht choosing a special commit tee, which will accompany him and the City Engineer In a drlvo over all the ttreets proposed as possible of use In the President's itinerary. This committee will determine whether street reDalrs are need ed, and In the event they ar the general committee will take steps to sec that the work Is done. A proposal to change the Itinerary of the Presidential parade from Sixth to Third street met with favor last night. It was argued that the business houses of Third street would decorate much more liberally than those on Sixth, and the gen eral committee would be spared much la tKir. Moreover. Third street was declared to bo In a better condition of repair. Against the adoption of Third street it was argued that street-car service would interfere with a parade, something that would not occur on Sixth street. This was not considered by thel committee as a very strong reason for not making the It has been suggested that upon the Prr?ld' nt's return trip to his train on Ihe to irilng of May 2 he can be driven down Sixth street If it is desired to show thu part of the city. Tm nuestlon of an entrance to the park will probably be settled by an adoption of the detail committee's programme on Ihls rx-lnt. This would prove a , ruling against the Park-avenue entrance. Park tvenue Is declared to be too steep, and It Is Insisted the Improvements to wash' Ington street will be completed long be fore the President arrives, making that tret available.

Tho directors of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Imposition will meet Friday for the purpose of taking up a number of business matters affecting the Inter ests of the Fair. The question of the election of a suc cessor to the late II. W. Corbctt as presl dent of the Exposition may be brought up. but it Is not believed anything will bo done. Thus far little or no gossip concerning we possiDie election of the dl rectors has been heard. Tho directors have full authority at any t!me to make a selection for this office. and It Is not even necessary for them to consult the members of the State Com mission. In fact. It Is predicted the State Commission will not be asked to express tr. opinion, since the presidency is matter that concerns chiefly the board of directors. Ono of the reasons for the belief that lVrc will be no rush to select a successor to Mr. Corbctt Is the fact that he ten dered his resignation as president of the 1" r a week ago, and at that time the !'re;t 'rs -showed that they were In no fc-rry to fill the place. The resignation was not even accepted, and it was gen era'!)- believed no acceptance would be i-.alo for some time. N thing has developed In the meantime t ' ideate there Is any reason for hur-rl- 1 y filling the office of president. Of t -rsT, the name of an acceptable can v'.j te might be presented at any time. t"u if the directors were fully satisfied; a chctec would be made, but there Is r'thlr.f to Indicate that the question w .1 be forced Friday. T';c special committee named to draft sclta'- le memorials expressing the sor r w tM at the death of President Cor bctt will meet Friday afternoon, an hour before the directors gather. An acceptance of an Invitation to te pr.scnt at the ceremonies attendant uron lajing the corner-stone for tho Lewis and Clark monument has been re ceivr ' frjm Governor John T. Morrison, of Idaho, This Is the first response re ceived by the Fair official from a num ber of Invitations which wero Issued. In his letter Governor Morrison says, in a spxit of cardial. y: The people of Idaho have a deep and crrr.inoa Interest in the patriotic move ment instituted by the citizens of your state. I shall deem It a duty and a p. asurc to be present upon the occasion In J jated." -lore than 1000 Invitations have been se-t cut by the Fair directors to prom inent persons in the Nirthwcst asking them ta attend tie ceremonies attendant upon the lartng of the corner-stone of l-ewis end iTarlc monument In. eluded In the Hit ot Invito imt. - Loiernors. members nf Pflnrr.., Inent business and professional men and others of Influence In the Northwest. It is' expected many of those to whom Invitations have been Issued win be pres ent. The especial desire of the directors is that the Governors of Dregon. Wash ington, Idaho and Montana, which -states were' originally a part of Oregon' Terri tory, shall attend the ceremonies. The prompt acceptance of Governor Morri son indicates that these gentlemen will bo present. MRS. PORTER IS DEAD. Wife of Ambassador to Paris Sao cumbs to the Grip. PARIS. April tV Mrs. Horace Porter, wife of the American Ambassador here, died suddenly today. Her death occurred at S o'clock this afternoon of congestion, following a chill. The death of Mrs. Porter came with greet suddenness, making, the shock to the Ambassador doubly severe. She re turned from Switzerland only a few days ago after a stay of some weeks there for her health. Mrs. Porter" ap peared much improved In health but was still suffering from Influenza, which finally brougnt pn a chill. This In turn developed Into Inflammation of the lungs, but It was not until today that her condition was regarded as. really serious. She grad ually failed, however, until the end came. General Porter, Mrs, Porter's brother. General WInslow. and the attending phy sician? were at the bedside. The Ambassador Is completely pros trated. Mrs. Porter died at the United States Embassy, in the life cf which she had always taken a leading part. The Am bassador hsd Just recovered from a se vere attack of the grippe, which leads to some solicitude concerning the effect the blow may have upon him. The 111 ness kept "him confined to the house for a month and compelled him to give up his projected trip to Greece. Mrs. Porter had not been in robust henlth for some lime and decided to make a stay in Zurich, Switzerland, for rest end to recuperate. She returned to Paris last Tuecday much Improved, though retaining lingering symptoms of the pre vailing epidemic of grippe, but the doe- tors did net consider her condition se rious. She seemed better this morning and the apparent Improvement continued during the middle of the day and even up to o clock this afternoon. A suaaen change for tho worse was then observed and It became manifest that the disease had attacked her lungs. Mrs. Porter tank rapidly until she expired an hour later. The various absent members of the fam- Jr were notified by telegraph and cable. The only daughter, Elsie, was In Ger many, where she had also gone on a trip for the benefit of her neaim. ana me General's only son, Clarence Porter, Is In New York.

Staking and financial men generally coeriJer It settled that the position of preildent of the First National Sank, rendered vacant by the death of 1L W. Corbett. will be filled by A. L. Mills. The latter la now encased in the active discharge of his dutlta of vice-pnaiaent of that uitltutlon. to which potltion he was elected three yean aro. and the duties of which be asiumed Immediately after the demise of President Corbett. A prominent backer, when asked yesterday who would be Mr. Corbett's icc cearor, replied without hesitation: "Mr. Stills, without doubt. That waa settled when he was mad vice-president." The same oslnlon Is expressed by all who have any kno!edte of the situation. Mr. Mills Is la direct line for the rosltlon. and Is In every way Qualified for It. and as no one else has been even mentioned, for the place, he will, without doubt, be elected president when the board of directors of the First National Bank jneeta. which will probably be within two weeks.

Ths dose contact In which he has been brought with lit. Corbett during that time, and especially during the past three years, since be has been vice-president of the First National Dink, has given him ample opportunity to fit himself far capably filling the position of president. It Is not supposed that his promotion will lead to many changes la either of tha banks with which he Is connected, but It Is thought likely that Treasurer John W. Newklrk. of the First National, will take his place as vice-president, and that Charles F. Adams, secretary of the Security Savings A- Trust Company, will probably take Mr. Mills' place la charge of the affairs of that Institution. loaded with fine shot. And the boys escaped with a few painful wounds and badly tattered clothing. "I can see no motive for the rash act" said Mr. Lingren. when questioned last night. "My two boys, Louis and Ernest, aired 11 and U. were playing with Charley Dow in our back yard. We live In Cend ter Addition. During the afternoon Hol ler, who Is a next-door neighbor, came running to our houso and told my wife that our dog was' digging up the ground near hla fence." T will kill the dog," said Holley, but neither Mrs. LIngreen or the boys re garded the threat seriously. Half an hour later a shot was heard, and the dog came running to the house, yelping frantically. He had been fatally shot, and died shortly. After doing all they could for the wounded animal the boys went back Into the yard. "Let's go and see what the dog was dolngr" said one of the sons of Mr. Lin gren. "I don't see what he could do to make the man so angry." The boys walked toward the house of their neighbor, and soon found where tho dog had been digging In the earth.

He was a man of deep religious character and an earnest member of tbe Methodist church, baring given liberally to many churches and schools In this state. sooner had they arrived upon the scene than they saw Holley. who was concealed behind a tree, raise his gun to fire. "He might shoot us," cried one of them In fear, as he realized that the gun was pointing in their direction. In another second the deafening report of the shot - gun waa heard, and a wall of pain arose from the three youngsters in unison. The shot had scattered among them, and sev- eral had taken effect. Their clothes were torn and riddled with the fine shot and painful wounds were sustained by all i three ot the boys. Fortune favored them. however, ana none or me leaden balls struck a vital cpot. One of the Lingren boys was struck In the face, but the shot did not penetrate deep enough to Injure him seriously. As soon r.t Mr. Lingren heard of the shooting he Informed the police, and de tectives were sent to arrest Holley. He had left his home, however, and no trace could be found ot him. Later in tha evening a report was sent In that he would etay all night at 551 Everett street, but the detectives were sot able to find such a number.

It Is generally believed they -have been laying out a railway route In tha southeast. The route as Indicated- by the line surveyed would bring Into virgin territory, until It strikes Woodetock. where It comes Into compe tition with the City & Suburban Rail way. As the survey starts at Mllwaukle street It has the appearance of being a branch of the Oregon Water. Power & Railway Company, hut there is no definite Information on this point, Holgate otreet Is partly in the city, and merges Into Kelly avenue, and so If the parties are laying out a railway they will have to secure a franchise on the street and on the county Toad also. OFFERS OF ROOMS. fot Settled "Where the East Portland Postal Station Will Be Located. Several offers of rooms In buildings for the East Portland Postal Station have been made, provided the office be moved from its present location In the Logan building on Union avenue. The corner room In the Holman brick on the north east corner of East Washington street and Grand avenue Is offered. In the Burkbard building the choice of two rooms is given. One is occupied by a bicycle shop near Union avenue, and the other Is the room at the west side ot the building facing Union avenue. However, none of the rooms In the Jlolman and Burkbard building are regarded as well fitted for the purpose, and are considered too small. It is understood that Lambert & Sargent have offered quarters In their proposed brick building on the southwest corner of Grand avenue and East Alder street. In this building the station would have an entrance both on Grand avenue and East Alder street, as the room would be arranged to face both streets. The purchase of the property on East Morrison street and Grand avenue by Robert D. Inman and Johan Poulsen. on which they will put up a modern building on the expiration ot the leases held by the present occupants, changes the postal location question somewhat. The owners will offer quarters for the postal station In their building. Other things, being equal, no other location could be ascen tral or satisfactory for the purpose. How ever, It may- be a year before the building will be erected, which would necessitate retaining the office in the. present Union- avenue location, but the public would not raise very strong objections to this If the office can ultimately be moved to a per manent central location. With the large growth on the East Side there has come Increased business for the station. It Is expected that Postmaster Bancroft will b; able to provide more carriers (or the East Side, and hence more central ana larger quarters will be needed. THE FLAG CONTEST. Ulchland School Children to Be In. tereated In Sir. Hyland'a Prizes. C E.

Hyland. of the American Civic League, and the flags are to cost 110 apiece. A committee from the association will visit the homes of all the boys and girls who enter their names for this contest before the 12th of the month, so they will know under what condition each one begins his work. At the end of the time specified the committee will make another visit to the premises to see and Judge of what has been done, when the three flags will be awarded to the win ners.

East TTfenty-Elghth-Street Associa tion Wants Full Measurements. At a special meeting of the Eust Twenty-EIshth-Street Improvement Asso ciation last night, the sewer being laid tor that district was under fire, on the assertion that It did not comply with the plans and specifications. M. E. Gordon. ilnspector, was present to answer all ques- uuus mat cuani os put w mui. tue sewer In que rtttoa Is an extension of the East Oak-street system, and Is supposed u ue jucgcs m diameter, iiuiuo ucu- urement. C N. Atwood and others on examination found, according to their Judgment, that the pipe used waa in places only IS Inches In diameter, that the Joints were cot properly united, and that not a sufficient quantity of cement had been used. Inspector Gordon, on Invitation, ad dressed the association and explained that he had gone through the completed por tion and found that the Joints were all right and properly made. Mr. Gordon said that only a few Joints had been made during hla absence. Mr. Gordon was closely questioned as to the method of construction, and the- fact was brought out that the pipe used really was not strictly 30-lnch pipe, but that sometimes a Joint might b? IS inches or UVi Inches. This waa tq be accounted tor by shrink ige in the burning. After the Inspector was through there was a general discussion. Mr. Dudley said that be figured out that the district lost the space represented by an eight Inch sewer by the pipe not coming up to me run a inches required by the soeci flcationa. Mr. Heitkemper thought the peo ple' should get what tbey are paying for. it was finally moved to be the sense of the association that the plans and sped- ncations for me sewer should be fully compiled with. Messrs. Heitkemper. Dud ley ana uien were appointed a commit tee to confer with City Engineer Elliott concerning this sewer and ask that the specifications be compiled with. The com mittee was empowered to report to a special meeting should It be necessary to iaas iurtuer action. SOME IIEAW GRADING. Steam Shovel Cnttlnsr Roadway- Southward for O. W. P. A R, Co. The gradlncr on the roadbed of the Ore gon "Water Power & Railway Company along the bank south of Inman. Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill plant is progressing rap idly. The steam shovel has cut a swath along the side of the bluff about S feet wide, from the foot of Taggart street south for nearly half a mile. It Is now opposite the home of J. A. Strowbridce. Jr., and Is making rapid progress to the end ot the cut about a quarter of a mile further south, from which point the track will be carried across the Martin flat on a temporary trestle, which will afterward be filled In. North from Taggart street, where the steam shovel began Its work, and where there was a deep depression caused by removal of gravel, a force of men with scrapers are cutting through the bank on Union avenue toward Division street. The deepest portion of the cut is about 3 feet. Dirt from this cut Is being used to fill, up the depression at the foot of Taggartstreet, The cut Is nearly completed. For the present the track has not yet been laid through tne lumber yard, although the trestle across Stephens slough was com pleted some time ago. Tracklaylng on the grade south of Division street will ti rob- ably be commenced the latter part of the month. Consrrcirntlonal Mcetlnjr.
