The project contemplate rushing work on the new City Jail to be built on the old site, beginning by erecting one section of the building on the part of the pro jected site now occupied by a flre house and a Chineee store. He-fore abandoning the plan for a temporary JU at Fifth and Everett streets. Chief Slover and Captain Moore yesterday examined the site thoroughly. It was found that the building there waa of crumbling brick, which would require complete lining with shcettron. and other improve ments, which would bring the bill to about 13000. Even then the court would have to be housed In a cottage adjoining. Many prisoners finished their sen tences yesterday and the unspeakable conditions In the Jail were slightly Improved.

OBJECTORS VOTED DOWN Criticism of Executive for Abollsh lnft Capital Punishment Intro duced by J. nennessy Mur phy Several Dissenter. A resolution aimed at Governor West and Intended as a critlolsm of hla action in setting aside the law of the state relating to capital punish ment was presented by J. Hennessy Murphy, prominent Democrat, at the meeting of the Multnomah Bar Asso ciation last night and was adopted. There were several dissenting votes, among them that of John H. Steven son. who asked especially to be placed on record as voting against the reso lution, which reads as follows: "Resolved, by the Multnomah Bar Association. In regular meeting as sembled, that we reaffirm the prin ciples of the great American who drafted the Declaration of Independ ence, that 'When a man assumes a public trnst he should consider him self public property.' That this govern ment of ours Is a government of law and not a government of sentiment; that a public trust Is bestowed for the good of the country and not for the benefit of an individual or party; that the very essence of a public trust exercised by a political executive mag istracy la fearlessly to enforce the laws of the country and never to be a.i obstacle to the due process of law and the execution thereof, exemplified by the conduct of those unfit for the business they are entrusted with." Governor West Target. Although Mr. Murphy mentioned no names In his address preliminary to of fering the resolution, there was no mistaking his Intent and after ad journment he freely admitted that his resolution waa aimed at Governor West. The association also adopted amend ments to ita constitution, framed for the express purpose 'of facilitating the prosecution of shysters. aDd President Allen appointed George N. Davis, Ralph E. Moody, E. E. Heckbert, W. A. Carter and James L. Conley aa a com mittee to act aa a grand Jury and re turn true or not true bills against at torneys against whom charges of un professional conduct may be preferred. After the meeting Mr. Allen said: "Aa long aa I am president of the Multnomah Bar Association I propose to ascertain why charges are not in vestigated If filed. I do not expect any necessity for my interference, as I believe the committee will fearlessly do ita duty, but the fact remains that the members of the legal professlson are charged with laxness In prosecut ing those who disgrace our calling and that la a stigma which I Intend to la bor to remove." Previous to the adoption of the amendments there were several speeches, among those talking being C. W. Fulton. J. W. Hardy and 8. B. Hus ton. Lawyer's Dnty Defined. Referring Indirectly to the fact that Clarence Darrow knew of the guilt of James B. McNamara, yet defended him. C. W. Fulton brought up the question of a lawyer's duty under such circum stances. He concluded that an attor ney" should not defend a man whom he knows to be guilty and declared that money abould be no object. He said, however, that an attorney rarely knows whether a client is guilty and in such cases he declared it to be the duty of an attorney, when in doubt, to see that his client is tried according to the forms of law and receives all the advantages to which, under the law, he la entitled. DR. Z1EGLER IS HONORED Police Rouse City Physician Front Home to Give Him Wedding Gift. Dr. Fred J. Ziegler, City Physician, was hopping mad when he was called to the Polloe Etatlon yesterday morn ing and subjected to a stinging repri mand from Captain Moore, In the pres ence of two-thirds of the police force. "Well, you're here at last, are your said Moore, as the doctor bustled in at the door. "Strange that when we need a doctor bore we can't get one." Dr. Zlegler Just, sputtered, and at length. In a huff, demanded to see the man who needed his attention. With a great show of severity he was led to the captain's office, where a big chest of silverware was displayed. Then Captain Moore dropped his aus tere manner and In a few words made it known that the silver was the ex pression of the members of the Police Department of their appreciation of Dr. Zlegler's unflagging Interest and ready response at any hour of the day or night. Dr. Zlegler. who was married recent ly.' had Just returned from a honey moon trip and this was the first op portunity the department had of ex tending Its felicitations.

"Just as sure as you can't make water ran up hill, you can't divert traffic sway from Ita natural course and can't keep Portland from enjoying Its ad vantage on the water grade between the great eastern empire and the ooean." declared H. 8.

Wholesale and Retail ern and the Chicago ft Alton railroads, who arrived In Portland 'In his private car yesterday. Mr. Benson formerly was auditor 'for the O. R. & N. Company, and has been deeply Interested In the deevlopment of Portland ever since he left the city 10 years ago. "The growth of this community Is marvelous," he said, "but It Is nothing more than I have expected. I always believed that Portland would become the greatest city on the North Pacific CoaBt. and I am glad to see now that my theory has ben vindicated. "It Is hard to realise that when I first came here in 1894 any corner block in the downtown district could have been bought for 120,000. Property like that now Is selling for many times that figure and It Is worth It." Mr. Benson reported that business conditions In the East are Improving. The Chicago & Alton, he said, showed a great increase In gross earnings in the last fiscal year, and he believes the same to be true of nearly all other roads operating In the Middle West.

Salem, Hood River and Hlllsboro are among the cities to an nounce that they will send delegations. Members of the Press Club expect that the frolic next Monday night will receive even greater patronage than was accorded "A Night Off," last year's show.

Of the growth of Seaside and of Its prosperity, Dan J. Moore, of the Moore Hotel, at the beach resort, who Is pass ing a few days In Portland, sings loud praise. Continental resorts are to be outdone by the Oregon watering place, Mr. Moore thinks. He Instances the build ing of an open-air platform, which will extend half way across the Necanlcum and on which concessions of all kinds will be built for the forthcoming sea son. ' Five cottages are building on the board walk and despite the recent bank failure which brought on a temporary financial stringency at Seaside, Mr. Moore says the excellent season the re sort experienced last Summer, and a catch of between two and three tons of fish dally, have set the little town firmly on its financial feet again.

DAIRIES TO EXHIBIT TODAY Convention of Oregon Butter and Cheesemakers Will Open. The annual butter and cheese ex hibit and the seoond annual conven tion of the Oregon Butter and Cheese Makers' Association will be carried on Jointly today at Woodmen Hall. In the original programme the exhibit was scheduled to be thrown open to the public yesterday afternoon, scoring was to be completed and awards made, and the convention proper was to have opened this morning, after the exhibit. Professor John Sollie, of Albert Lea, Minn., chief Judge of the exhibit, was delayed, however, and his train did not arrive in Portland until last night. Plans for the show were rearranged and today, while the members of the association are meeting in convention in the hall above, the butter and cheese show in the basement of the hall will be opened to the general public. "Exhibits are much heavier this year than ever before," said Professor F. L. Kent, of Oregon Agricultural Col lege, secretary of the Butter and Cheese Makers' Association. "This Is partly due to the fact that we are holding our convention Jointly with the State . Dairymen's Association. The premium list, which Is one of the larg est ever offered at such a show, has also had a certain amount of influ ence to attract exhibitors. One of the things that cannot be overlooked, also, as a contributor to the size of the show, Is the opening of the railroad Into the Tillamook region. "Tillamook Is exhibiting the largest and finest cheese display ever sent to the state show from that county. The Tillamook Creamery Association has nine large entries, and three other ex lbits are displayed by individual con testants from that county. The Port land creameries are also entering a fine collection of displays." Judging of the exhibits will be com pleted this morning by Professor Sollie and his assistant, 6. G. Thompson, of the dairy division. United States De partment of Agriculture.
