THE-" MORNING - OEEGOIAN, FRIDAY;'' DECEMBEB 2, LYESTUflNWtST One -Great Exposition Follows Another. OREGON NOW IN THE LIGHT Closef-St, Louis Fair Causes Interest in '05 Event EXHIBITS ARE COMING SOON Many Will Arrive EarJy and Be Placed In Storage Until Spring Canada Will Also 'Partici pate In the Fair. "Withohe closing 61 'the great St. Louis exposition lastnlghtthe Lewis -and Clark Exposition took the center or the stage in the exnosltlon world. The St Louis Fair. the greatest ever'held, is now a. matter of history. The Lewis and Clark Exposition Is still in embryo, holding the "brightest prospects of the future. With tho end of the St. Louis Fair the eyes of th6 exposition world turn toward the West It is a time of great Impor tance, for exhibitors and concessionaires will begin arriving here shortly to ar range their plans of participation. Others will send their exhibits here for .storage until Spring, for the Exposition has agrees to furnish free storage space to all ex hibitors. The end of one exposition marks the poriod of greatest activity of another. As a S$. Louis paper has suggested, the ory .might well be, "The King Is dead, long live the. King!" CANADA WILL COME. Our Neighbor to Erect Pavilion at the Exposition. Following close upOn the heels of the announcement that Russia has decided actively to participate in the Lewis and Clark Exposition came the message from St. Louis yesterday that Canada, too, has withdrawn her former docision against officially taking part in the 1905 Fair. Can ada will not only bo represented here by an adequate exhibit, but wilL rect a Canadian pavilion, thus taking leadership amonp the exhibitors. Headquarters were advised to this effect yesterday by President H. W. Goode, who had been In conference with S. Fisher, Canadian Minister of Commerce. Mr. Fisher advised him that the government has recently reconsidered the former de cision against the Fair and is now plan ning for an exhibit building containing a large display. Bid for Immigration. The meaning for this is apparent Can ada, it would seem, intends to enter into the contest for immigration and show to. Lewis and Clark homcseekers that the Pa cific Coast is not alone in offering good opportunities to the. hdmeseeker. In the, break east slopes of the. Rockies are th"bu-c rands ok acres of good land unoccupied, which the Canadian government is anx ious to 'have freely populated. It is also realized by the government that the American settler makes a more desirable resident than the ordinary characterless and illiterate Immigrant direct from a for eign shore. It is believed that Canada's exhibit, therefore, will be made up mostly of fea tures tending to show the opportunities for settlement of the vast homestead lands of Canada; and that plans will be made by the commonwealth to head a good, per centage of emigration into that common wealth. RUSSIA'S MOVE DISCUSSED. Belief That Jealousy of the Japs Caused Bear to Exhibit. Russia's sudden determination to tako part In the Lewis and Clark Exposition 'was the subject of general discussion at Exposition headquarters yesterday. It is accounted for In two ways the majority believing the Bear has its eye upon the Oriental trade aspect of .the-Expositlon, while some are of the opinion that the act Is mingled freely with diplomacy. At St. Louis, It will be remembered, Russia prepared to make a large exhibit and even had lumber ordered for a na tional pavilion. Shortly after kthe out break of the Russo-Japanese war the Russian workmen withdrew and the Czar's Ministry of Commerce announced that an exhibit at St Louis would be impossible, even If the Fair was the largest the world had ever known. Rus sia was to be busy fighting. In the meantime the Indomitable little Jap went on pounding away at the big Japanese pavilions, war made no differ ence, and the result was a Japanese ex hibit that reflected .credit upon Japan and did much for commercial Japan and -for the Japanese empire. Russia was repre sented only with a fine art -display which was made by a St. Petersburg art asso ciation. The pavilion containing this ex hibit was crowded day and night with visitors, and then the Russian Exposi tion attaches saw a big mistake had been made In withdrawing Russia's requests for exhibit space. But It was too late then for the crafty Jap had absorbed every Inch of the abandoned Russian space and had used it to broaden the Japanese exhibits. Whether Russia will build a national pavilion at the Exposition cannot be said at this time, but in view of the fact that Japan ""win" have a pavilion,- it is nrob able the RUssJaris will not, care to be in arrears in any aetau. TO RENT ROOMS TO VISITORS Lewis and Clark Accommodation Bu reau Is Organized. The Exposition Accommodatlort'Bureau has filed articles of Incorporation 'and Ha established general offices In thq.Good nough" building, with "James Steel? presi- ucui; tignn v iucjjennan, vice-presiflentj and Eugene D.; White, secretary and gen eral manager. The bureau will seek to obtain .controlii ov. a "uiud aiiuitiea con venient to street-car lines, to rent' to visitors to the Lewis and" Clark Fair at reasonable rates. AT THE SAME TIME. Portland and Belgium to Have World' Fair Simultaneously. Simultaneous with the Lewis and Clark Exposition next Summer will be a simi lar World's Fair At Liege, Belgium, which Is now. attracting some attention in the United States as well as abroad. Like the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the one at'JUiege will open June 1 and close in November, but the purposes of tho two are widely different since Belgium Is not in need of settlement, and neither -fair will 'in any way interfere with the other. Lewis And ClarkExpo'sIUftn the greatest Importance, and, !n fact, does not even attach to the Liege fair the idea of op position to the World's .Fair of the West. Oregon, it Is understood, will be asked to make an appropriation for the Bel glum exposition. The matter will' be taken up at the next session of the. Leg islature, -and sufficient money asked for to send a showing of Oregon's resources and advantages to settlers. Has an Airship. A Seattle man has invented an airship and wishes to bring it to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. J. E. Paul, the In ventor, describes -his -airship as a G0-horsepower- machine, and states in a communication to Exposition headquar ters, that it will be able to make a more j-jticcessful flight than any made during the St. Louis airship tournament. OFFER PHIZES FOE ESSAYS. Sorts of American Revolution Inau gurate Contest. v The Oregon society of the Sons of the American Revolution has offered prizes to the pupils- of the public schools in Oregon for the best essays on given historical subjects for which there promises to be lively competition.

' Dr' Edna Tlmms gave a very instructive talk at the meeting of the Home Training Association yesterday, telling the mothers many useful things about relieving chil dren from cuts, bruises, burns, poisoning and fainting. The simple remedies advised by Dr. Timros would be found useful among older people as well as in families of children, and the pencils and note books were kept busy during her address Mrs. Pelton Reld's paper on "Gentle Measures In the Training of the Young" hag been postponed and at the next meet ing Miss Harriet Hassler, of tho Library, will give a talk on "liltorature for Chil dren Between Ten and Fifteen." WITH THEI-R BACKS TO UnJoipgy State of Some Persons Who Are on Trial for THERE Is a fdrWdaing-looklng biscuit factory which this, great Jy feared, Government of our has appropriated to its own purposes by right of eminent domain and a rental of $1800 the month. On the third floor of It Is a'blg "barn or a "room " and there in during these dark November days an inquisition is being held and some half dozen men and women suspected of having monkeyed with the buzz-saw are being put through a comprehensive bourse of sprouts. It is not a pleas ant room. It is cheap and bare and uninviting. Most courtrooms inspire a certain awe, the same awe inspired by the brutally artificial sanctity of an un dertaker's chapeL Not so down at the biscuit factory. There are no religious half-lights, no deep- color tones and little seeming of the majesty of the law invests the place. It is all stark and garish and hfdedusly ugly. Its cheap board walls were once painted a nondescript pink by some person of abominably bad. taste. Pink courtroom walls! The gods forefend. The big barn of a room might well be the drlllhall of a shabby army post or a frontier hurdy-gurdy. It's a fine lodklngplace for brawls. It's a fine-looking place in which drunken soldiers might cut throats or break skulls, but a court roomagain the gods forefend. For ten days this inquisition has gone forwarcV The graft which is said to have been, working in Oregon tim ber lands for a generation is getting the life pounded out of It in this pink courtroom, and incidentally a very bad state of affairs is being made out against the defendants, believed to be the latest and most proficient exponents- of the graft It is also being made to appear that the two women and four or five men on trial are stalking horses for crook .corporations and in dividual crooks, who Were wise enough o sub-let their grand larceny. Be hind the bacTc of each of tho defend ants some one Is hiding. The benevolent faces of magnates and syndicates peer turtlvely over the shoulders of tho Ones who Got Caught at the Jury ana the Judge. Government Slow to Anger. The Inquisition, in the pink room is the logical outcome of many years of pilfer ing which has gone on here In Oregon. The theory that the Government had moro lumber than it needed tor Its own use and benefit has been good for the building up Of vast fortunes in these past 30 years. Slow to anger is the Government, and Its best property in standing trees was stolen and appropriated to corporate or private use before the Giant roused. In a half hearted way It realized that the robbery was -going on, and a half-hearted attempt was made to find out who was getting the wag, but the officials of the Government "fixe but human, and it appears that there were seductions iri high places and in low. So things went on until one day two or 'three years ago a man named Roosevelt and a man named Hitchcock decided It was time to catch the thieves. They sent A man named Greene to Oregon, with a roving commission -and discretionary pow ers. They told him to take the lid off and to spare nobody whom he caught with the goods. Greene and his assistants went to work, and In the course of a long, careful probing, tho results of their re search were laid before a man named Hall, whose business .it is to try lawsuits for the Government The Hd was dff. and the stench of things pervaded the whole country. That was more than a year ago, and during that time the Government has been probing more assiduously "than ever. Many things more have developed. The ramifi cations of the graft have been thoroughly explored -and all of the trails followed. It us also dlsquletlngly believed that the work of finding the thieves has -only just begun.

Over McGinn's Right to Appear In Warwick Pool room Case, and in Regard to Grand. Jury indictments. District Attorney Manning says Henry E. McGinn will not appear as assistant prosecutor In the. M. G. Nease case, Mr. MeGlhhjstubborrily maintains that ho will do so, and Judge George is to decide the matter. Nease is under Indictment for conduct ing a poolroom known as the Warwick Club. The case was set for argument yesterday morning on the demurrer filed to the indictment John M. Gearln, one of tho attorneys for Nease, when the matter was called up by Judge George, asked for a continuance until Wednesday or Thursday of next week, for the reason that his associate counsel, Judge B. B. Watson, Is confined to his home by sick ness. Mr. Manning said he had no objection to the continuance, and Mr. McGinn re marked: "We have no objection if Judge Watson is sick." Continuing, Judge McGinn said: "May it please the court, the District Attorney says I am not to appear In these cases. I would like the matter set for hearing, when I think I can submit authorities showing the. District Attorney has no power to put me out of these cases." Have War of Words. Mr. Manning, In response, said: "I don't know why Mr. McGinn insists on appearing in these cases. If the court could establish a precedent of this kind a person whp had a grudge against a de fendant could come Into the case and put the District Attorney out." Judge George Interrupted to say, "There Is nothing- before the court." "I drew the indictment In this case at the request of the District Attorney," broke In McGinn. "That is false," retorted Manning. "You drew the indictment and I ac cepted It, and it will stand." "There-is nothing before the court," interrupted Judge George. "The court doesn't care to hear anything further." Mr. McGinn obtained the copy of the Indictment and holding It up beforo Mr. Manning said. "You say I didn't draw this indictment?" "I didn't say you didn't draw the in dictment. I said you didn't draw tho indictment at my request. I accepted the indictment and It will stand. You drew this indictment as you did other indictments for tho grand Jury." With these few .remarks Mr. Manning walked away and the incident was closed. Many Heard the Argument. .Tho courtroom was filled with at torneys who listened to the controver sy, and Judges George, Sears, Frazer and Cleland occupied the bench. Judge bllng in quarters far. removed from the ugly pink courtroom where the inquisition is. being held. Public Interest Is Keen. Just now, however, public interest Js centered In that little coterie now being tried. As they sit day after day huddled together with their legal counsel -they are blinking their eyes In the spot-light of public Interest Every available inch of" space In the room Is eagerly appropri ated by the public and men and women wrangle for standing room. Sbme of the Interest Is idle curiosity. The women especially seem prompted by the morbid desire to gloat over the two of their sex who sit all day within the railing. Some of the Interest Is that of good citizenship desiring to satisfy Itself that the thing Is being fairly conducted, but greater than either is .the Interest prompted by a desire to witness the remarkable and almost unique spectacle of the Government of these United States throttling a graft which has existed by sufferance from time almost Immemorial. The Govern ment is slow to anger, but terrible In Its wrath and Its whole force Is being used Just now -to demonstrate to the world that honesty is the best policy and that steal ing from Uncle Sam is not the clever trick many "cunning devils" believe it to be. I fought my way through the crowd yesterday and gained a vantage point where I could see and hear the tragedy which Is being enacted. It was something worth climbing the stairs of the forbid ding biscuit factory for. The fine old Jurist who alts on the throne of tho law's majesty was nervously guiding the case through the shoals of technicalities, ap parently scrupulous that both sides of the tragedy had fair play. Sometimes despot Sometimes guide, philosopher and friend of the accused and accusers, of Jury -and the cranlng-neoked public without the bar. . Types of Attorneys. I watched the lawyers who aro relent lessly and with Inexorable persistence making out the Government's cause against the men ancj women who aro fast in the gill-net A slight youngish, debonalre- Irishman named' Hency, for the nonce an assistant to tho Attorney-General of tho United States, was driving nails In the coffin of Horace McKlnley, who was testifying for and against him self from the witness-box. Hency Is un deniably one of tho most skillful prbsecu tors who ever appeared In an Oregon courtroom. He Is first of all confident to the point of exasperation. Keen, alert, agile of wit, hut with an assumed air of insouciance, he was the beau ideal of a prosecutor. He was shifty as a crack boxer and he landed grueling body blows one aftor another while his opponents writhed with suffering. It was a demon stration of the sheer force of a well tralnecl brain of many resources. John Hall, tho antipodes of his associ ate, an Abraham Lincoln sort of man. In appearance, slow, careful, calculating of mind,- dogged, earnest and a stayer? with his Bhouldcr against his more brilliant confrere was, I thought, already figuring out the length of penal servitude In store for the prisoners at the dock. For these prisoners Judge Pipes, fat benign, ' Pick wickian, was fighting, feinting, . quibbling, making every Inch, of ground covered the foothold of a hope, and behind him Judge O'Day, ponderous, combative, adamantine, reared his Jbve-like front Then there was tho jury, twelve peers of tho realm, hewhlskered, elderly In the average, family men and freeholders. The arbiters of fate. I thought, the . look of them presaged a decision already formed. There were witnesses of many kinds and descrlpti6ns. Some of them furtive, afraid almost of themselves convicted. Thero were others strong, positive, unshakable, with nothing to conceal and only the public weal to serve. A Glimpse of the Defendants. Then there was the huddled coterie. The Indicted instruments of the graft at bay before the powers which were massed against them. They were the ones that the Idle public watched most They were withal interesting to look at, and the morbid audience devoured, their ovnrv .leaturct JVell dressed, jprosperpus. .world George was in- control as presiding Judge and the others acted as .respectful lis teners. Mr. McGinn wants' to argue the law in this case, which Is the nuisance statute, because he has looked "up fho question very thoroughly and made a long argu ment beforo Judge George when the other poolroom case was beforo he court. TJils was the case where Nease endeavored to restrain the Sheriff from Interfering with the possession of tho premises used by Nease as a poolroom, and the court de clined to interfere. The ruling of the court in, regard toJthe statute under which the Indictment is drawn practically sottled the whole matter, because Nease does not deny having conducted the pool room under supposed authority granted him under a city license. Judge" George in the other case held that the license was no protection. DIAMOND THIEF INDICTED. GrandJury Considers Man Who Took William Winters' Gems. The grand jury has returned an Indict ment against J. W. Thompson, a bar tender, charging him with larcony by. em bezzlement of valuable diamonds and money from his employer, William "Win ters, a saloonkeeper. The crime occurred about 'a month ago. Thompson disap peared from Portland and the' police au thorities nave thus far been unable to lo cate him. It was reported that he went from here to San Francisco and thence to Honolulu, but afterwards It was said that this was.a false clew. The grand jury was engaged yesterday Investigating the Tanner-creek sower case and also has the Coon arson case on its list Files Suit for Divorce.

Deputy District Attorney Moser said he would not consent until he had Inquired further Into the case, as he did ot know much about It at thlstlme. Strike Causes No Trouble. BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 1. The first day of the general strike developed no serious features. All the leading 'retail stores were closed, and labor on the docks was suspended. Troops and policemen were stationed at all the Important centers. The railway and street-car servlep were running without interruption. Many men are returning to work. THE WALL Coveting. the Forests. ly-looking cyery "one of the six. Com paratively young In years on an average, but old, very old, in experience. Marie Ware, In fashionable brown, trifled with her gloves and watched the jury with almost painful concentration. She seemed trying by some occult power to fathom the mystery of their final de cree. Miss Ware has aged visibly since I first saw her In another courtroom 18 months ago. The worry of things has gotten Into her face and drawn heavy lines there. Her face looks old and careworn, but care has not worn her thin. She Is almost fat with tho obosity which comes to- women in middle life. Marie Ware, Interesting, Intelligent tal ented, has given her youth to the cause. To an apparently lost cause. But in spite of the ordeal she seemed the gamest and most hopeful of them all, for her long, concentrated, horizontal gaze at the jury had nothing in It of tho appall of deadly fear. She seemed to be think ing, "It must come my way. They won't dare convict a woman If she Is young. They will have pity." The other woman, with stolid set fea tures and staring eyes, looked neither to right nor left Mrs. Watson might be a heroine of a problem play. As she sat In the courtroom yesterday I thought of the face of Blanche Walsh as I saw It last In the prison scene of "Resurrec tion." Mrs. Watson's . "past" Is photo graphed on her face. She knows this, and although she arrays herself In finery and carries her head high, she does not attempt the arts of the Ingenue upon the Jury.. Mrs. Watson has bet her last white chip and Is waiting stoically for the marblo to drop. Horace .McKlnley, who sat in the wit ness box yesterday, has also aged In IS months. He is haggard and broken looking. McKlnley is of -tho "good fel low" type and the business of being caught with the coods Is not In h!a iin "Being caught was evidently an eventual ity wmcn -MCKiniey had not reckoned -upon. His attire Is less faddish and hl3 linen less Immaculate than in tho old days. Ho Is up against It and almost beaten out McKlnley can't take punish ment His skin Is thin. He marks easily and goes groggy too soon in tho game. Tarpley and Walgomot are only Incident al.

Ho Is not the kind that sits up nights with his conscience. He docs not quail in the presence of damning testi mony, but turns his bold black eyes upon the world and asks "What are you go ing to do about It?"

These are some of the Impressions I got from a visit to the land-fraud trials yesterday, where these people are being tried on the charges of forgory and con spiracy, which names are but another way of defining a gigantic steal and char acterizing Its parties as thieves of great resource and amazing daring. As I sat In that stark, garish court room,' where those Daniels were come to judgment, I thought It were better after all- to avoid the buzzsaw, to be poor and without even a scrub fir sapling than to play jokes with this greatly feared gov ernment of ours, to win a whole forest and end 'up w'lth one's, back to. the wall on the third floor of a. forbldrilmr-lnnWni- JVblscuil factory - A.

Ho maintains that he has not been connected with the "War wick since early last Spring, In fact, not since tho Mayor first ordered the place closed. "I am surprised at the action of the grand Jury," said Mr. Applegate. "Nat urally a man hates to have It appear In public print that he has been Indicted by a grand Jury, even If It Is simply for a misdemeanor, like, the bill they found against me at Portland. I selected Port land as one of the cities for the location of a poolroom so as to complete the chain on the Coast I was met with opposition at the start, but it came from a source that I did not heed.

"Tho Sheriff and the grand jury may be able to stop poolroom betting, but from what I know of the men, who Hko to bet on horses from the couple of brief trips I have made to Portland, they are very apt to drive Into the hands of hand bookers.
