Portland Gives Real Trial to Safe and Sane Plan and Is Pleased. FIREWORKS IN DISGRACE Small Roy Is Only One Displeased With Abeyance of Timcworn Cus toms Klglit Fans Find Only True Cause for Excitement. Patriotism expressed ltaelf In a mur mur yesterday In Portland. There wasn't a great deal of noise, no h!g:h explosives were used, the fireworks were limited and no one was dls membered. The city enjoyed the sanest Fourth yet exnerlenced. , It required a constant exercise of the Immagination to realize that the day was the once glorious Fourth. In by gone years of unsuppressed noise more commotion was in the air a week be fore the day than appeared at any time yesterday. Yet the populace seemed to enjoy useit nugeiy. The quietly-disposed spent a refresh ing and exhilarating day tn the woods. The fight-mad part of the populace had excitement enough for half a dozen Fourths. The small boy was allowed to discharge Liliputian firecrackers to his heart's content. Then there were horse races, boat races., a couple of baseball games, and a variety of minor diversions for all sorts and conditions of pleasure-seekers. There Is no way of naming- an ac curate figure In the matter, but the number of people that went out of town for the day may be safely an proximated at 50,000. Every outgoing Doat, car and local train was fair bursting with humanity. People went down the river, up the river, and to tne woods and streams in all direc tions. Hundreds left in rigs and auto mobiles and scores even went away on loot. Organized picnics were Innumerable. Sunday school classes, clubs, societies. ana employes of big establishments went out in groups laden with good things to eat. Some of them took fire crackers along, too, but for the most part they confined themselves to brief literary programmes, athletic contests, rompings In the open and quiet hours in th shade. The crashing of sod crackers and the roar of ginger snaps took ascendency over the firing of giant crackers and toy cannons. It was not until along towards night tnat the streets of the city besran echo ing In a manner faintly suggestive of tne day. Then the rattle of small crackers, abridged by police orders burst onto the stilly air with the in tensity and volume of a box of parlor matches. Now and then some ingenious urchin tortured a little extra noise out of a cracker by covering it with a tin can. . This device produced something tne ercect or a real giant cracker and several times prying policemen were Jretted into a run by the hoax. The night was not barren of fire works, either. Even before darkness grew on lighted balloons could be Sighted gliding over the city while hsre and there a skyrocket wormed its way above the sky line of big buildings ana Durst into balls of many hues. The one thing that'tnade the day in tense, though, was the fight news. Tens of thousands of men and boys and nun dreds of women-were downtown durin; the few brief moments that were re quired to transform an unbeaten white champion into a third-rate dub. These crowds were surcharged with excite ment. ' Had the American arms been engaged in forcing back a formidable Invasion, Interest could hardly have been more marked than in many quarters during the battle of fists. When the farce was over these crowds turned attention to the read ing of the extras and the streets were fairly blockaded throughout the busi ness districts by groups of men and big iu maiming witn races Duned deep in print. j ne streets, afterwards, were carpeted with discarded newspapers. Outlying districts were hardly as sane as Portland in the observance of the day. At Vancouver. St. Johns and Oregon City reports indicate that tfie people followed In the beaten path of 134 years of precedent. The people in those places heralded the day with crackers big enough to simulate the crashing of victorious American ar tlllery. Deep chested orators declaimed in a fashion calculated to send the thrills of patriotism up and down the spines of patriotic hearers. Hundreds of Portlanders joined with these towns in their formal celebrations. So far as Portland is concerned it was the last Fourth upon which even the crackling of parlor match fire crackers will be tolerated. Ncyct year ine new anti-noise, law goes into ef fect and the noisily patriotic will have to learn to sing psalms and speak in a whisper during Independence day. ST. JOHNS EXJOYS FOCRTH Over 5000 Visitors Take Trip to Peninsula Town for Day. The big celebration at St. Johns yes terday was one of the most successful end orderly affairs ever pulled off in that city. The attendance was large, the crowd from out-of-town being estimated at 5000. The big parade started on time, headed by the Peninsula Band and the "Goddess of Liberty" with her maids. The floats were representative of the various organizations, the Women, of Woodcraft, with their goat, being the most striking. Xext were the Knights of Pythias. The police, under Chief Mo Kinney, kept perfect order and made a fine showing at the head of the parade, which was led by Grand Marshal Brede son. who is also president of the fire department. The reciting of the Declaration of In dependence by Fred Caldwell, the sing ing of Mrs. Horsman and the addresses by Judges Cleeton and Holcomb were cheered to the echo.

BALLINGER TO THE RESCUE CHIEF JUSTICE DIES Daughter and Friend Are at Jurist's Bedside at End. - CHIEF JUSTICE 22 YEARS After Attending Church According to Custom. Justice I'uller Ito tired, Apparently in tiood HealUi Was 7 8 Years Old. (Continued From First Page.) those prominent in the fight over his con firmation, only Senator Cullom remains. and President Cleveland, who thus hon ored the Illinois lawyer, has likewise gone to his grave. The service of Chief Justice Fuller was noted for the dignity with which lie filled the position. He preserved that manner. whether on the bench or off it. Although small of stature, not more than 5 feet 7 inches, his wealth of silvery hair and classic features made him a commanding figure wherever he appeared. Twain's Joke on Fuller. Probably Mark Twain resembled the Chief Justice In physical appearance more than any other man of prominence in recent, years. Frequently the humorist was mistaken for the jurist. One day a young woman accosted Mark Twain on the street and with the apology that she had never seen the Chief Justice before, asked for his autograph. The author wrote, "It is delicious to be full. But it is heavenly to be Fuller. I am cordially yours, "MELVILLE W. FULLER." The late Chief Justice, as far 'as known, never expressed his opinion of what he thought of Twain for playing that little joke on him. Chief Justice Fuller reflected to a great extent his research into literature by the style of his opinions and addresses. In the earlier days, after going on the bench, he wrote some poetry and now and then lapsed into poetical touches in his opinions from the bench. One of the best illustrations of this was the opinion he handed down in the case of Hammond vs. Hopkins. He concluded his opinion by saying: 'In all cases where actual fraud 19 not made out, but the . imputation rests on conjecture, where the peal of death has closed the lips of thosa who character is involved and lapse of time has im paired the recollection of transactions and obscured their details, the welfare of so ciety demands the rigid enforcement of the rule of diligence. The hour-glass must supply the ravages of the scythe and those who have slept xn their rights must be remitted to the repose . from whidrvthey should not have been aroused." His death today recalls his words on such events expressed, at the centenary of the court 20 years ago: Judges will be appointed, said be. and will pass away.- One generation rapidly succeeds another. But whoever comes and whoever goes, the court re mains, keeping alive through many cen turies we shall not see, the light that burns with a constant radiance on the high altar of American constitutional Justice." Left Stamp on Laws. Chief Justice Fuller left an Indelible stamp on the laws of the country. Among his . most famous opinions were the fol lowing: The income tax decisions, in which the law was held to be unconstitutional. The Danbury hat case, in which labor union were held to be amenable to the Sherman ar.ti-trust law. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany versus the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, in which the state was denied the right tc tax telegraph messages, ex cept when intra-state. The Bank of Washington versus Hume, In which the insurable interest of the wife and children in the life ofthe hus band and father was recognized as dis tinguished from the claim of creditors. Inman versus South Carolina, in which a railroad was denied the power to ex empt its?lf from liability for its negli gence In the shipment of goods. Moore vs. Crawford. In which married women were held to bear liabilities, such as those growing out of the fradulent sale of land as well as the legal rights. Leisy versus Hadden, In which the state was denied right over original packages of liquor in Interstate commerce, an opinion which led to the passage of the Wilson liquor law. MOB HANGS; BLACKS FLEE Double Lynching, as Result of Mur der, Stirs Missouri. CHARLESTON, Mo., " July 4. An exodus In the negro population of Charleston is reported in progress, following the double lynching of yesterday, when Robert Cole man and Sam Fields were hanged by an Infuriated mob, for the murder of Will iam Fox, a Mississippi County farmer. An Investigation of the affair at the request of Governor Hadley will be made by the prosecuting attorney today. Sheriff Culp and his deputies, whom he hastily swore in after the lynching threats were made, were powerless against the crowd which attacked the county Jail. A railroad tie was shoved forward as a battering ram. With ine-n grasping it on each side and pushing in the rear, the ram was swung against the heavy front door of the Jail. While the mob shouted with increasing rage, the door gave way and the crowd poured into the building. ' coieman was dragged forth and lynched in the jail yard while the crowd cheered. A man climbed a tree and put one end of the rope over a limb. The negro was Jerked up and soon swung clear of the crowd. " While Coleman dangled, another body of men rushed from the jail dragging and pulling the other negro, Sam Fields, and he was soon swinging by the neck. The crime which the mob avenged was committed about 10 P. M. Saturday. Will iam Fox, a farmer, was driving toward his home, four miles south of Charleston. The negroes were walking along the road and asked for a ride. Fox told them -to get in. No sooner . were the two In the buggy than they attacked Fox and de manded his money. Fox tried to defen1 himself and was shot down. The negroes escaped. Though weakened by loss of blood. Fox managed to drive his team to a neighbor's house, where he told them what had hap pened. The news was telephoned to Charleston and bloodhounds were put on the trail. The two negroes were then rushed to the county jail. , Declares Blunder of Chamberlain and Bourne Should Have Shut Oregon Out, but Thinks State Is Entitled to Share. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 4. (Special.) Secretary Ballinger after giving careful consid eration to appeals made to him by Rep resentatives Ellis and Hawley before they left for Oregon, has come to the conclusion that Oregon Is entitled to share In the distribution of the $20, 000,000 Irrigation fund made avail able by Congress Just before adjourn ment, and it now seems quite likely that extension of the Umatilla project westward with a view to Irrigating 60.(100 acres more, will be authorized, and that part of this fund will be al lotted to begin construction.' Blunder Almost Fatal. Secretary Ballinger points out that repeal of section nine of the reclama tion act, which was permitted without protest from Senators Bourne and Chamberlain, relieves both the Presi dent and himself of any obligation to apportion further funds to Oregon at this time, but personally the Secretary believes Oregon should be shown con sideration, particularly as it " is the second heaviest contributor to the re clamation fund, and has never been given a square deal by previous Sec retaries of the Interior. Umatilla to Get Money. - s There are bat two projects in Oregon to which funds can be allotted, and It Is certain Klamath can receive nothing. This makes it obligatory to make an allotment for the Umatilla extension and In case the report of the Army Engineer Board is favorable It is now believed Secretary Ballinger will recommend to the President that the west side Umatilla project be built. It is estimated to cost $2,550,000. While the whole amount may not be allotted out of the $20,000,000 fund, enough will be provided, if extension Is author ized, to carry the work through the present season, and finish it with money from the regular fund. This is an unexpected change on the part of the Administration, for up to this time the Umatilla project has not been regarded with particular favor. Secretary Ballinger personally, how ever, wants to do what he can for his neighboring state, and In case the al lotment is made It will be entirely on his recommendation and in accord ance with the requests of Represen tees Ellis and Hawley. Poland and Turkestan Overrun by Clever "Workers." WARSAW, July 9. (Special.) Graft has been carried to a fine art by an official named Zielenskij. "referee" of the postal department. As a result of the Senatorial Revision carried out at the instance of the Czar, further dis closures of wholesale corruption among Russian officials have come to light. Zielenskij carried on his .graft with cynical and scientific thoroughness. He elaborated a perfect system of bribery and organized a schedule of charges for keeping clerks in their places and appointing new ones to vacancies. The candidates paid ten per cent on their first year's salaries. Those who were already'lnstalled wer "taxed." Men who refused to pay were threatened with dismissal. Even the prisons have been reached by the revision, but I doubt it it will do any permanent good. Most of the prisons are In a terrible condition, and in this respect people are afraid that Poland will share the fate of Turkestan. When the Government in St. Peters burg saw the reports of a similar re vision there, they got a shock. The dis closures were so appalling that the Chamber decided it would be better to put them in the archives "for fear ot compromising Russian bureaucracy." The reports have been hidden accord ingly and the official boodlers of Turkestan are flourishing unmolested. Camas Blues 'Meet Defeat. CANBY. Or.. July 4. (Special.) The crack Canby team defeated the here tofore 'undefeated Camas Blues at Gladstone Park today by the score , of 4 to 3. Hensling was in the box for Canby, and deserved a shutout, raw de cisions giving Camas their runs. Camas was outplayed throughout the game both at bat and in the field. Much money was wagered on the outcome which settles more than one discussion in regard to the relative merits of the teams. Knees Became Stiff Five Vtan of Severe Rheumatism. The cure of Henry J. Goldstein, 14 Barton Street, Boston, Mass., is another victory by Hood's Sarsap'arllla. This great medicine has succeeded in many cases where others have utterly failed. Mr. Goldstein says: "I suffered from rheumatism five years, it kept me from business and caused exrruclating pain. My knees would become as, stiff as steel. I tried many medicines without relief, then , took -Hood's Sarsaparllla, soon felt much better, and now consid er myself entirely cured. I recommend Hood's."
