THE -MOnXIXO OREGONTAX, FRIPAT. APRIX 21. 1911. ROSE FAIR BETTER T HAN GQRQNATIDN Veteran Passenger Man Pre fers Portland Festival to Affair in London. COST IS WITHIN BOUNDS ' Clrle ImprnTrnKnl F.njolncd and J IVpl l"rjrd to Krmrmbcr Adage? That Cleanliness Is Neil to Godliness. tVny American people should spend valuable time and hard-earned mm'jr to go to London merely to be "also present" at the coronation nrraionlrt when they can more and enjoy themselves bet ter for less money at the Tortland R Festival. Is something that Is beyond the comprehension of W. R. Callaway, veteran general passenger ot of the Bon Line, who spent a few hours In the city yesterday. Mr. Callaway la one of the beet-known pawner men In the Wei-t. as well a one of the best storjj tellers, and haa a dnllghtfully original way of riving ex prewston to his Idea. "I understand that persona al ready hae applied for admlsxlun to the coronation ceremonies, but only will receive U kets. So. you s.-e. there will ba a few disappointed people, t'nless a person can aee it from start to finish tere no use nolng at all. They are charring outlandish prices for seals and standing room on the streets facing- the line of march. A friend of mine haa a little cottage on a London street alone which the procession la to pass, and he has rented It f'r the week for -. It Is more than the place la worth. Some poor Americana will pay enough -for seat Ins; privileges there to jive the man who rented It a nice profit. Iloee Show Bet of All. a delegation of women, some from the Women s Christian Temperance I'nlon. petit.oned Judge Cleeton and County Commleslonera IJghtner and Hart yea teitlay to pn a rule against what tr.ey railed a public humance. In lefly to the request of the women tl- county authorltlea said that when the new Courthouse I" completed It would rot be their policy to let -men conKresale In the halls for the purpoe of amoklng. T!ie County Court refuaed. hot. ever, to make any promise reswrd inc what might be done In the various departments, and told the delegation tlmt the rules for each department must be S.n.le by tl'e head of the department. While not fully aattsned with the premises made by the court, members of the delegation went away expreewlns; thur plenxure In bavins; gained aome headway In their campaign against siroktng In public places. Ttio women told to the court that they were prompted to ask 'for prohibition of smoking In the Courthouse by the an noyance some of them had experience! by having to stand with smokers In line the tax windows- Some announced tlal they would tAke the subject up will the heads of tlw various depart-nutit. NAVAL PROBE TONIGHT TKOIB1.K IX MILITIA WILL BE BROUGHT INTO COCRT. Now. In coming to Portland, all that Is different. I know, for I have seen both kinds of events. I never attended a coronation, but I .was precsnt at Queen Victoria's Jubilee, and I guess they had about everything there that they will have at the coronation. Why. this Rose Show here haa the London show beat la very way and there is more fun. "A person can coma to Portland and see everything. There will be no prlcea so high that a man will have to be a millionaire, or go broke to see what Is going on. . -And. honestly. In my estimation. I would rather pay to see a Portland Rose Festival than to see a coronation for nothing. "In this connection I can't think or Portland without thinking of Spokane, j just came from there, and I find that they have a pretty nice city. It is going to be nicer still. Tou get a good Im pression of Spokana as soon as you get off the train a better Impression. I feel, than you get of Portland after getting off the train here. Now. that Isn't as It should be. Portland should te the model town for the whole Northwest, for the entire Coast, for that matter. It ought to coma next to Minneapolis In every thing that pertains to civic Improvement. Of course, you understand. Minneapolis, where I live. Is the greatest town in the country. Portland could come next If It wanted to be. It K "" already. It hould be. Fatherly Advice Given. There Is one thing that I feel that I ran criticise Portland on Jd I guena m old enough now that I can go about expressing my vlewa so that they will be accepted In the fatherly way In which they are Intended without giving offense and that criticism la with reference to what seems to be a civic carelessness, or a publlo disregard for the old maxim that reminds us that cleanliness Is next to godliness.' "I dont know how saintly the people of Portland are Individually or collect ively, but publicly It appears that you are so engaged with the enormous amount ef business you are doing all the time that you don't give attention to those details. Tou are so wealthy that you think you don't have to clean up. That s where Spokane ranks over Portland and every other city In the Northwest. I hope Portland soon will come to the point where more consideration will be given the matter of civic cleanliness. "But that Just reminds me that we all are looking for the millennium but al ways expect somebody else . to es tablish It.'

SMOKING CALLED NUISANCE Women Ak Prohibition of Practice ' In t'oorthoo-ie. ' In an effort to Induce the County Court to prohibit amoking In tiie Courthouse. Judge Advocate Bauer Sajs Scope of Investigation Will Not Be Closely Restricted. Judge Advocate Bauer, of the Our? of Inquiry appointed by Adjutant-Genera! Flnxor to inquire Into the trouble between officers of the Oregon Naval Militia. hM formally notified J. F. Blaln and George 8. Shepherd, the principal parties to the controversy, that the first session of t court will be at tnc Armory this evening at S o'clock anu that they are expected to produce their witnesses at that time. , -It lei Impossible to say aa yet Just what the ecope of the Inquiry will be." said Major Bauea "That will depend largely on the nature of the testimony given by witnesses we examine tonight. I anticipate that it may be necessary for ua to receive evidence as to the causes which led up to the fight at the Armory, In which case it Is possible that much of the history of the Reaerve since Its Inception will be heard." Practically all the officers of the Ore gon Naval Militia and many of the enlisted men who had knowedge of the bitter feeling between Captain Shepherd and Lieutenant-Commander Blaln will be called upon to testify. It will be the province of the Court of Inquiry to de termine the quantity and nature of the testimony of the witnesses. Major Bauer vayei that it Is hampered by no rules of evidence aa la a civil court. The Elaln group will. It Is anticipated, attempt to show that Shepherd and Mc Nulty have not the Interest of the JIHItla at heart but are merely In It for political purposes and that they are Incompetent to hold the offlcea of Captain and Com mander, the two highest In the entire organisation, their Incompetency arising from lack of knowledge of navigation. Shepherd refuses to say how he will conduct hle elde of the rase, declaring that It la unseemly to discuss the con troversy publicly now that a formal In quiry la to be made. It la understood, however, that Shepherd will contend that he was entirely within his right as supreme officer of the Reserve in order ing Blaln ejected from the drill hall on the night that Master at Arms Wlchau sen. In attempting to put Blaln out. re ceived rough physical treatment at the bands of the latter. superintendent says mrs. KKIISH CAN BE SENT AT OXCE. She Will Be First of Her Sex to In habit Stat Penitentiary for Two Years. Mrs. Carrie Kersh. sentenced to IS years In the state prison for her part in the murder of William Johnson at the Grand Central Hotel about a year ago, will be the first prisoner of her sex to be confined in the penitentiary for two years. A letter from C, W. James, superintendent of the peniten tiary, received by Judge Morrow yes terday, says there are three ample ac commodations for the woman and that she may be sent as soon as the court desires. Judge Morrow had written to the prison to determine If there were any available rooms for Mrs. Kersh, or If It would be necessary to retain her In the. County Jail for the time being. Superintendent James said in his let ter that the prison Is provided with . - -.1 1 kv s feet each, for Lwomen. and that they are entirely dis connected 1 1 in in. i"t " . the prison. Continuing he says: "These wards for female prisoners have been vacant for more than two years. They are provided with toilet, bath room, and wardrobe, and when oc cupied, are supplied with bedsteads, bedding, chairs, table and other neces sary equipment. Including a sewing machine which they are required to use In manufacturing underwear and light clothing for the Inmates of the Institu tion. While these wards have not been occupied now for some time, they are alwaya kept In readiness for occupancy whenever there la any call for their use, for confinement of women pris oners." The crime in which Mrs. Kersh par ticipated was one of the most revolting In the history of the city. Mrs. Kersh and J. P. Webb, who haa been con- demmned to death, were found Dy tneir juries to have killed Johnson In a cold blooded manner, taking hla money from him. and then placing- his body In a trunk, which waa shipped to the Union depot. Blood running out of the trunk drew attention to It. and brought about the discovery of the crime. As the court was waiting; to hear from the prison authorities regarding accommodations for Mrs. Kersh. It Is expected that she will be ordered at once to Salem to begin her long ser vice of Imprisonment. Game Law Violation Fatal. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. April 20. (Special.)

No definite date has been set for the returning of a report by the committee or for the holding of the meeting. Aa soon aa the committee was ready to submit a report.

"We still have meane" of keeping a weather eye on conditions. Dot our aetec lv. have nractlcally stopped work.' said Mr. Pattullo. True, we may be taklnz a wrong view of matters but we fall to aee any use of collecting evidence and ubm ttinc It for outcnery ana mi representation.

SEERESS IS DISAPPOINTED Mayor .Refuses to Receive Proof of Psychic Power. A woman who neglected to leave her name, called upon Mayor Simon yester day and wanted to give a seance in his office. She said she had recently ar rived from Denver, where she had been practicing clalrvoyancy and she was amazed upon reaching Portland to find that the ordinances do not permit this. When the Mayor Informed the woman that she could not practice here either for money or otherwise, she was dum founded, and said that she would like to give a demonstration in, his private office, to show that she could peer Into the future and unveil what Is hidden there. The Mayor, however, was too busy at the moment to participate In mnncoA Bumirp. and declined, ex- tuv "i-1"" . plaining that he was not empowered to give special permits, anyway and that even the Mayor must comply with the city's laws. Tf urns with trreat reluctance that the woman withdrew, and as she did so, she declared that she guessed she had been mistaken' when she decided, upon this city, that It was a "live place."
