TACOMA, May 22. Special.) The Pres
ident called Tacoma the "City of Des
tiny" this afternoon at Wright Park,
and captured the hearts of 30,000 people
assembled there. Probably-not more than
two or three In the 30,000 expected to hear
Tacoma's pet name. The cheering at- all
times during the President's speech was
loud and prolonged, but when he referred
to Tacoma by the name dear to the hearts
of all true Tacomans, the women waved
handkerchiefs frantically, the men swung
their hats, and the youngsters screamed
with dellcht. The President was plainly
pleased with the hit, and he smiled broad
ly, causing another round of vociferous
applause.
Tacoma turned out the largest crowd of
the day, and In the opinion of men quali
fied to judge, his speech was voted the
best he has yet delivered in the Pacific
Northwest, and by many of his party it
was considered the ablest effort of his en
tire tour.'
Wright Park was decorated In a simple,
but very effective style. But after abun
dant rain and warm weather, together
with a flood of sunshine, the park was
simply a dream of beauty even without
the decorations.
Great Elk's Chair as a Present.
When the President, after a drive about
the city, appeared on the grand stand, his
eye Instantly caught the sight of a great
easy chair constructed of elk horns. He
fondly passed his hands over the Immense
antlers as a child might over a coveted
toy.
"Isn't It a beauty?" ho exclaimed en
thusiastically. "Can It be possible that
is for me?" he asked the Oregonlan cor
respondent. Then he examined the presentation
plate, and finding out for himself before
any one could tell him that it wa.s his
chair, he added In characteristic quick,
earnest words:
"That chair shall go to the White
House at once."
The horns were shed during the seven
years of life of the monster elk "Roose
velt" at Point Defiance Park, and part of
the dead animal's pelt Is fashioned into a
cushion for the chair seat.
Meets a Former Rongh Rider.
In opening his speech, the President
stated he understood there was present a
member of his San Juan regiment, and
after concluding his remarks, he was
presented .to Private Otto Winter, of
Bremerton, who fought with the then
Lieutenant-Colonel Roosevelt in Cuba,
being a member of Troop F, of the Rough
Riders.
"And are you the Winter "who was
wounded?" asked the President.
It seemed the proudest moment of Win
ter's life when he replied In the nega
tive. "I desire this man to go on the
Puget Sound boat trip tomorrow," said
the President to the committee, and after
three cheers and a tiger for tho Presi
dent, the party drove to the Masonic Tem
ple, where the President laid the corner
stone with a silver trowel, which Peter
Daley, a high ranking Mason and Elk, of
Tacoma, had made from silver from Deer
Trail and a point near Easton, In this
state.
Notable Men In the Parade.
Secretary Moody left Tacoma for Brem
erton after Joining in part of the parade,
in which H. W. Scott. ex-Senator Squire.
Senator Mitchell, ex-Governor Semple,
John Barrett and Major J. Howard Wat
son were "among the distinguished men
not heretofore scheduled. Later. Mr.
Scott Joined with Senator Foster In a
dinner at the Tacoma Hotel to the Presi
dent, at which were present the Wash
ington Congressional delegation, together
with Governor McBrlde, General Funston,
Secretary Loeb, Dr. Rlxey, Senator Mitch
ell, President Mellen, Timothy E. Byrnes,
one, of Mr. Mellen's associates, and Gen
eral Western Counsel B. S. Gross cup, of
the Northern Pacific; George H. Baker,
National Republican committeeman: May
or L, D. Campbell, whols also chairman
of the local reception committee, and
Vice-President W. E. Bronson, represent
ing the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce.
Senator Mitchell, Mr. Scott and Mr. Bar
rett were the President's guests on the
trip to Tacoma, and on leaving Portland.
In addition to these. President Mellen
and Mr. Byrnes came aboard for break
fast with the Chief Executive, and to ride
with him to Kalama. President Meflen
piloted the President's train from Kalama
north, and every switch, bridge and curve
was guarded. It was observed that the
guards at the switches stood on the
opposite side of the track from the
switch when the train passed. This
was done to guard against what Pres
ident Mellen said was considered a
human frailty, it being1 feared that
possibly one man In a thousand or more
might become excited and turn the switch
as the train passed, as was once done In
Minnesota, thus causing an accident. This
peculiar accident did not befall a Presi
dential train, however.
Bear Declined With Thanks.
At Kalama, a bear cub, supposed to have
been born on February 22 last, was offered
to the President, but he declined It with
thanks. However, Secretary Loeb Indi
cated to The Oregonlan representative
that It would be acceptable If shipped to
Washington, D. C. and placed In the big
zoo there. The President already has
many presents aboard. Including a badger.
whch, by the way, seems sickly, and did
not have room for the little bruin. One
of the choice Bnap shots of the day will
show the President toying with the little
bear. At nearly every station some pres
ent is handed aboard, and if all were ac
cepted the Presidential train would rival
a menagerie.
Welcomed by McBrlde.
At Kalama Governor McBrlde' came
aboard and extended a cordial welcome
to tho State of Washington to the Presi
dent. The greeting was very hearty on
both sides, and while the pilot train was,
getting a start the President said a few
things that pleased the people very much.
"Hello, comrade," the President shouted
to a G. A. R. man. "What regiment were
you with?" "Seventh Iowa Infantry,"
was the reply. .
On leaving Kalama a middle-aged man
sauntered Into the train, saying some
thing about going to Seattle. He was
carried some distance, and the train had
to be stopped to let him off. Kalama also
distinguished itself by presenting the
President with a bunch of the state flow
ers, the rhododendron.
Much was said by the President In his
speeches about the pioneer and his great
worth. These references seemed to be very
popular, and at Olympia a bushy-whiskered
pioneer, in a drab slouch hat, shout
ed so loud that the President had to sus
pend for a moment. This particular pio
neer swung his hat and cheered until he
and not tho President was the cynosure
of all eyes.
Rain Doesn't Fase Chehalis.
Chehalls did herself proud, but Pluto
tipped over the rain water barrel and par
tially spoiled the effect. The colors In
the bunting were not fast, and the hard
rains did much mischief. The President
called for his rain coat, but It could not
be found, and he had to go to the Mc
Klnley stump without It. The decorations
were decidedly artistic, and the people sat
patiently In the pouring rain to hear the
speech. Little girls in white scattered
lilacs and roses In the President's path,
and ho shook, hands with them on re turn -injrto
the twin. "'It's to6 wet for you to
oe out," he safd in a -fatherly way.
At Centralla and elsewhere the G. A.
R. and Spanish-American War men were
specially referred to, and the style In
which the President told the people at
Olympia to bring up their children, "not
in idleness, but to work hard and earnest
ly." completely upset all rules and stand
ards of the Chief Executives who have

DR. WISE DEFENDS JEWS
Hounded by the Government
With Fiendish Ingenuity.
TOO P00RT0LEND TO PEASANTS
Charges of Minister to United States
Are Answered, While the Kishi
nev Massacres Are Described
as "Shame of Christendom."
Dr. Stephen S. Wise answered the accu
sations of the Russian Minister - to tho
United States in a sermon delivered at
the Temple Beth Israel last evening.
Every cnarge of Count Cassini against
the Russian Jew was touched upon and
flatly contradicted. The Russian govern
ernment was arraigned for its "fiendish
ingenuity" in dealing with its Jewish
subjects.
The temple was crowded by an Intensely
Interested audience, and as the speaker
warmed to his subject the listeners uncon
sciously expressed their appreciation of his
sentiments. Jews and Gentiles, they were
in hearty sympathy with the defiant words
of Dr. Wise, and after the service many
congratulations were expressed.
"I shall not attempt any defense of the
Russian Jew tonight," said Dr. Wise. "I
shall merely present facts, undeniable
facts, together with some figures which I
know to be true. Neither shall I attempt
to draw up an indictment against a whole
nation.
"In spite of the statements of the Rus
sian Minister to the United States, Count
Cassini, the Russians have a leaning to
ward mendacity, with little thought for
the cause or effect. The cause of the at
titude of the people toward the Jewish In
habitants I shall show and prove that
Count Casslnl's statements are false.
Millions of Russian Jews.
'We often forget when we speak of the
Russian Jew that we are speaking of the
Jew In general. The Russian Jews out
number the Jews in all the rest of the
world, for there ,are 6,000.000 Jews In Rus
sia and but ,000000 in'all. other countries.
If the Russian Jejr falls, the Jew falls
with 'hla; iff he rises, we rise with him.
Let us not forget that we belong to the
smaller number, and that we cannot for
get the larger number nor disassociate
ourselves from his existence.
"The Russian Jew Is treated upon the
statute books of Russia as an alien. The
Russian government believes that they
can regard him In this light, but they do
so without reference to the facts of tho
case. The Jew was in Russia long before
the ninth century. We actually know of
settlements made before that time. In
the ninth century a whole tribe was con
verted to Judaism.
Count Casslnl's Inspired Defense.
"Count Cassini says there is no feeling
against the Jew In Russia on account of
his religion. There Is a feeling against
the Jews, and it is on account of their
religion. I believe that the statement of
the Minister to the United States was
Inspired in St. Petersburg; that Cassini
Is simply tho mouthpiece of the govern
ment speaking In Washington.
"In 1S75 these words were placed upon
the statute books of the Russian prov
inces: 'The Jew is an alien, whose rights
can only be made by special orders.' This
Is the attitude of the government toward
the Jew,- and the people have gradually
become to believe that it is true. The
Russians as a people are not anti-Semitic
The Klshlnef riot was not anti
Semitic so far as the actual perpetrators
are concerned. What took place at Klshl
nef is due to the treatment of the Rus
sian Jew by his government. The Rus
sians find the Jews hedged about with a
multitude of restrictions and repressions,
discriminations and disabilities. There
fore, what Is the feeling of the Russian
toward the Jew? He knows that the Jew
Is a pariah, a creature without even the
DENOUNCES POLICY OF
DR. STEPHEX S. WISE, RABBI
right to secure redress for the wrongs
perpetrated upon him. This Is the direct
and inexcusable outcome of the attitude
of the Imperial government toward the
Jew. The Russian sees that the Jew Is
regarded as an outcast whose presence is
merely tolerated. It Is an Impossibility
to take millions of people and govern them
by special laws and expect the people to
remain untouched and uncontamlnated by
a sentiment against them. The Russian
government regards the Jew as a dweller
upon suffrance, and makes his life as
hard as It Is possible for a human govern
ment to do.
Famous May Laws Harsh.
"In May, 1SS2, the famous May laws
were passed. These are three In num
ber, simple to read and not apparently
harsh. By these laws, however, all the
Jews In Russia were forced to live within
15 provinces In a territory called . the
pale of settlement. The Jews were scat
tered all over Russia, and the land within
the pale oj settlement was already crowd
ed so that the mortality was tremendous
and something fearful to contemplate.
"Another provision of the May laws was
that no Jew could hold, buy, sell or deal
in real estate or land of any description.
The third rule was that no Jew could do
any business on Sunday. This rule would
not be unjust In America, but In Russia
Sunday is not observed as a day of rest
as In this country. There It Is a time for
pleasure and business combined, the peo
ple mingle together and transact as much
business as upon any other day of the
week. This meant, therefore, that the
Jew hereafter could earn his living upon
only five days of the week. But there is
no feeling against the Jew In Russia on
account of his religion. Count Cassini
says." Dr. Wise brought out the much
quoted words with all the sarcasm within
his power, while a murmur of apprecia
tion ran over the large audience.
Government's '-Fiendish Ingenuity."
"If the May laws had not been amend
ed the position of the Jew in Russia
might yet have been bearable. But the
Russian government with fiendish Ingen
uity injured him to the very heart. In
1S87 the school laws were passed. By
these statutes In no school In the country
could more than 10 per cent of the pupils
be Jewish. This applied Inside of the
pale of settlement. Outside the pale only
5 per cent could be Jews. In the cities
of Moscow and St. Petersburg the schools
could contain but 5 per cent.
"Russia thus drove the Jews still fur
ther Into the pale of settlement now so
crowded that existence was almost Im
possible. In one city, Mohllev, 95 per cent
of the population were Jews. There were
600 Christian children entitled to enter
school under the law, while only 60 chil
dren out of a Jewish population of 47,000
were allowed to attend. The Jews tried
I to establish schools of their own, but af
ter they had furnished the money to build
them the rule of 10 per cent of Jewish at
tendance still prevailed, so they stopped
building any more schools. But there Is
no feeling against the Jew on account of
his religion.
Jews as Russian Soldiers.
"Anoth'er contention of Count Cassini Is
that the Jew is not a soldier. Let me tell
you something" of the Russian Jew In mili
tary life. According to the pro rata of
population the Jews should furnish 3.93
per cent of the Army, instead they are
forced to supply 5.97 per cent. That Is
their contribution to the Army of Rus
sia, and yet Count Cassini says the Jew
is not a soldier.
"In every town a register is kept of the
births, but the deaths of the Jews are not
recorded. When the military age arrives
the family In -which a eon has been born
is called upon to supply that man. Now,
he may have died almost In Infancy, but
all the same the family must supply some
one to correspond to the birth of the
male child or else submit to a fine of from
200 to 600 roubles, which is exacted as a
penalty.
"Count Cassini says that the Jew In
Russia Is not willing to work as an arti
san or mechanic. Yet there are 393,509
mechanics among the Russian Jews, or 34
per cent of the Jewish population.
Xot Allowed to Hold Land.
"The Russian Minister also says that
the Jew Is unwilling to work with hl3
hands or to engage In agriculture. I want
to answer this charge that the Russian
Jew will not work as an agriculturist. It
Is Just as fair to accuse a man of not
being a swimmer when he has been pro
hibited from going near the water all his
life. Since the passage of the May laws
no Jew has been allowed to hold land In
Russia. Whtn special orders were made
allowing a few to do so the land was so
heavily taxed that it was unprofitable.
He cites the failure of the Jewish coloni
zation scheme of Czar Nicholas as an
example to prove his statement. I will
tell you something of that colonization of
the Jews.
Why Colonization Failed.
"They were taken by the wagon load
from the towns and dumped down upon
ground which had never been plowed.
They were treated like machines. They
were men who had never been outside a
town before in the ilves, and knew noth
ing of farming. Each family was sup
posed to be given 175 roubles to begin life

SALEM, Or., May 22. (Special.) The
flrst official meeting of the Lewis and

in Portland a week from today. At that
meeting the commission will bo organized
and proceed with the business of prepar
ing for the state's part in holding the Ex
position. Secretary of State Dunbar, as
authorized by law, today Issued the call
for the first meeting. To each member of
the commission was adressed tho follow
ing notice:
"Pursuant to the provisions of section 3
of an act approved January 30, 1903, 'to
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ex
ploration of the Oregon country etc, you
are hereby notified that the Lewis" and

Couttfy. -State of Oragont at the office of
the Lewis and Clark Centennial and
American Pacific Exposition and Oriental
Fair, 203 Vine street, corner of Front
street, to perfect permanent organization
to carry out the purposes of said act.
"F. I. DUNBAR,
"Secretary of State."
The members of the Lewis and Clark,
Centennial Commission are:
W. E. Thomas, F. A. Spencer, Dar
Raffety, J. C. Flanders, G. X. Harry,
Jefferson Myers, of Portland; J. H. Al
bert, Salem: Richard Scott, Milwaukle;
Frank Williams, Ashland; F. G. Young,
Eugene; C. B. Wade, Pendleton.
Organization of the commission consists
mostly in taking an oath of office and
electing a president. When thus organ
ized the commislson has power to appoint
a secretary, various committees and. a
committee of six, whose duty It shall be
to act in conjunction with the executive
committee of the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial and American Pacific Oriental
Fair Corporation.
The commission has charge of the ex
penditure of $500,000 appropriated by, tho
state for the fair.
FAIR WILL STOW GO AHEAD.
Worlc on Grounds Will Begin When
State Commission Organizes.
The members of the State Commission
for the Lewis and Clark Fair have been
called to meet in Portland next Friday
and organize. The call was issued yester
day by Secretary of State Dunbar, and i3
the first official recognition of the fact
that the $500,000 appropriation made by tho
last Legislature for the Lewis and Clark;
Fair has become available.
The organization of the State Commis
sion will be followed immediately by the
resumption of work on the Fair grounds,
work having been ordered stopped a few
weeks ago to consult with the State Com
mission before proceeding with the prep
arations for the erection of buildings and
otherwise carrying out the plans for tho
big Exposition of 1905.
The preparation of the budget by the
directors of the Fair will be the first im
portant step taken toward the resumption
of work in an effective manner upon the
Fair preparations. This was a matter
that was to have been settled on May 8.
but the decision not to proceed with prep
arations for the Fair upset this plan.
The finance committee has been handed
the various estimates of expense attached
to the different committees' work and
will be able to report within a very short
time to a meeting of the board of direct
ors. It is likely the estimates which have
been submitted to the committee will
have to be reduced, and thl3 will require
time. All of the committees are asking
for large sums, and tho entire work will
have to be outlined In some measure, in,
order to get a correct Ide"a of the amount
that can be set aside for certain objects.
In an informal manner the members of
the State Commission assured the board
of directors several weeks ago that they
would assume the responsibility for he
erection of certain buildings, these to Tie
selected at a Joint meeting and formally
assigned to the commission. The plans
would, of course, be those approved by
tho board of architects, and would be car
rying out the general scheme .of the Ex
position directors.
The money in the bands of the State)
Commission 13 larger than the amo.unt
under the direct control of the directors
of the Fair, but the entire sum will ber
spent In a manner that will bring out the
best results for the Exposition. j
Railroads Will Soon Pay.
The fact that the state appropriation is
made available for Exposition purposes
also saves to the fund the $50,000 which
the railroads, running Into Portland had
subscribed. The railroads all made it a
condition of the subscription that at: least
