Closest Scoring in Memory of Veteran Fanciers Required in Awarding Prizes. . CHILDREN HAVE WINNERS 5000 Attend Exhltiltion on Second Day and Interest Is Manifest. Judges Hard at Work Fin ish Several Classes. So keen Is the competition and so close Is the scoring at the Poultry Show that a slightly defective comb or a few misplaced feathers may literal ly determine the winners In many classes. Yesterday. In the white Plymouth Kock cockerel class, but one and a half points separated the winners of first and fifth places. This is the closest scoring in the memory of the oldest Poultry Show enthusiasts. The class in which it occurred is better rep resented at this show than at any previous show held In Oregon, the same being the case with the barred Plymouth Rocks and other classes. The Indication of the first day's at tendance that this would be the most successful show in that regard ever held in Oregon was borne out yester day, the second day of the show, when the number of persons who entered almost doubled that of Monday, con servatives estimates placing the total at close to 6000. School Children Attend. The crowd that Is seeing the show in the big building at East First and East Morrison is a poultry crowd. Nearly all who attend are there obviously not merely from idle curiosity, but because they are interested in the mortgag llfting hen. Little groups gather in front of the coops and discuss the merits or shortcomings of the feath ered favorites In the most technical language. Cocks that were entered as cockerels or hens that were entered as pullets at last year's show are rocg nlzed, and their development made the subject of expert comment. C. O. Windle, superintendent, and his assistants are constantly called upon to answer questions and none of the visitors display more interest in this way than the school children of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, who are attending the show as the guests of the management. Indeed, the boys and girls have more than the ordinary spectator's interest, for many of them, or their friends have birds entered and many a pet rooster or hen is expected to bring a blue ribbon to the city back yard of its Juvenile owner. 16-Year Girl Has Winner. An instance of a rooster that fulfilled the expectations of his young admirers was seen yesterday when "Bob White, a handsome white Orphington owned by Miss Olive Brutenbach, aged 16, of 60 DePauw street, was awarded the blue ribbon In the cock class, an honor which he took last year as a cockerel. The Judges yesterday made the awards In the following classes:. Barred Plymouth Rocks, with the exception of the pullets; wnite Plymouth Rock, with the exception of the cockerels: white Orphington cocks: white Wyandotte hens and pullets; white Leghorn hens and pullets. The white Orphington and barred Rock Judgments will be com pleted today, together with the Rhode Island Reds. . Electric Association Members Dis cuss Measure. Over 50 members of the Portland Sec tion of the National Electric Light As sociation met in the committee room of the Multnomah Hotel last evening and discussed the proposed workmen's com pensation law and other pending legis- ) latlon. The meeting held last night was one of the regular monthly gratheringss of the section, which is composed of employes of the various public service companies of this city. The workmen's compensation law was gone over care fully and was discussed by those inter ested in the legal, accounting and op erating departments of the electric companies. After this discussion. C. N. McArthur. Representative-elect from Multnomah County .outlined some of the proposed legislation that will come before the next Legislature, including the good ruads measures, revisions of Insurance and Judicial procedure codes, consoll- British dreadnaught, Centurian, while speeding at 20 knots off Portland Hill before dawn today ran down and sank a small unknown steamer. The bat tleship returned to port this afternoon, leaking badly and with a battered bow. The steamer tried to cross the bows of the warship, which struck her well forward with such force that the steamer's port light was found ' still burning on the Centurion's forecastle after the collision. Before the steamer cleared the bat tleship's smoke she sank and no trace of her could be found, although boats were lowered and the Centurion cruised about until long after dawn. The steamer plunged to the bottom so quickly that the crew of the battleship could not determine whether she was a tramp or a pasxenger ship. The bows of tne battleship were dam aged by the anchor being driven through the plates. DISTRICT OPTION .

INDIANUFEDEPICTED Edward S. Curtis to Exhibit "Picture Opera" at Baker. PRODUCTION WINS PRAISE Famous Photographs and Moving Pictures to Be Shown Friday Af ternoon and Night and Accom panied by Appropriate Music : With both matinee and evening per formance at the Baker Theater Friday, December 13, Edward S. Curtis will produce for the first time in Portland his "Picture Opera," portraying the life and customs of the vanishing race of the American Indian. The Curtis Indian photographs have won for their maker a world - wide reputation, as have also his notes and writings, gathered while he was ob tainlng his photographs of noted In dian tribes and their chiefs. The presentation at the Baker Fri day afternoon and evening will give the results of all his years of careful work and study among the Indians, and probably will give the most com plete portrayal of the Indian charac teristics and tribal history that has ever been offered. Moreover, the story of the Indian Is presented by Mr. Curtis in a manner that is at once ' n. J 'S i1 EHiJi!pfi W:jy ' 1 Edward S Curtis, Who Will Pro- , dure His "Picture Opera" at the Baker - Theater Matinee and . Klght, December 13. quite new and marvelously impressive. Portraits of famous Indians and of striking Indian types will be offered, and tribal rites will W exemplified by means of moving pictures. In addition to this, music is furnished by a spe cially selected orchestra. The score for this music has been based upon the Indian chants and tribal music, and the wild and haunting strains of this typically Indian musio complete the illusion of reality that Mr. Curtis throws about his exposition of Indian life and customs. ' Before giving his first production on the Pacific Coast, Mr. Curtis appeared in New York on four occasions be fore capacity audiences, and on every occasion he won the unqualified praise of critics who witnessed the novel spectacle he offered. Last week, appearing In Seattle, he scored another trlumpn, appearing at each of his performances before audi ences that filled the theater. The productions In Portland are to be given under the auspices of the Visiting Nurses' Association. Seats are now on sale at the box office of the Baker Theater. Summary Trial to Be Required. Frequency of recent cases in which negro women have been arrested for robbing men, and In which the com plaining witness has failed to appear and prosecute, caused Judge Tazwell to announce yesterday that such cases most be tried summarily, unless the complainant is locked up as a witness. "This looks like a frame-up to me," said the court when the case of Lena Brown was'called and the injured man did not appear. "This case was con tinued for a week, and now there is no prosecution. I shall not tolerate a repetition of this outcome." At the rate of one a week or more, negro wo men are arrested when transient men complain that their pockets have been picked by the women. In few of the cases has any definite result been reached and the practice appears to be growing. ' LAND SWINDLE SUSPECTED Portland Wallingfords Ofrer Shasta Farms Cheap. t SALEM, Or., Dec 10. (Special.) That there is evidently a wholesale at tempt to swindle being carried on by Portland land locaters is Indicated in the following telegram which was re ceived today from F. W. Newell, Min neapolis, Minn., by Secretary of State Olcott: "Portland land locaters offer to lo cate me on lands along the Shasta route granted to the railroad by the Government In 1869 and recently opened, resulting from a suit by the Government to compel the road to fol low the terms of the grant," says the telegram. "The price is $2.50 per acre. Is this kona fide?" he asks, in con clusion. "You are now enjoying the associa tion with some of Oregon's J. Rufus Wallingfords," was the reply of the Secretary of State. There Is no statement in the tele gram from Minneapolis indicating the Identity of the Portland operators. Murphy Estate Is 70,000.

Rockpile Prisoner Released. . Several weeks' taste of the Joys' of the Llnnton rockpile, changed the attitude of Adolph Schieve, who a few weeks ago ran to meet a sentence of 90 days, and on the re-openlng of his case yes terday he seemed quite as pleased at being released as be had been former ly at being sentenced. Step-father of 18 cblUren, Schieve, a little bit of a man, stolidly told the court at the time of his first appearance, that he wanted to be sentenced. The complaint was by his wife, that he had come home drunk and abusive. No sooner had the complainant gained her point, than she relented and began besieging the court for a remittance of the sentence. Her pleas were effective yesterday when Schieve was brought up from Llnnton and released on promise of good be havior. A divorce action is pending, with a $6000 property at issue. Drew Released1 by Conrt. . A beautiful young wife, a cripple, wheeled Into Municipal Court in an in valid chair, wrought strongly In favor of George Drew, arrested on a charge of defrauding the Renwick apartments by levanting with his baggage, when his case was called up yesterday. To ques tions by Deputy District Attorney Hen nessy, the gifl-wife said that her dis ability was the result of an injury sus tained In early childhood. Drew was accused of taking out his baggage sur reptitiously, leaving an unpaid bill of $34. He asserted that he had been ordered to leave and denied that there had been anything clandestine about his departure. He was discharged on promise to settle the bill as quickly as possible.

OFFICIALS ISSUE DENIAL City Superintendent and Principals Say Object of New Organization . Is Not to Eliminate Grade . ' Instructors' One. Teachers employed in the elementary grades of the public schools of this city are standing firmly by their or ganization, known as the Grade Teach ers' Association, and declare they will not affiliate with the Portland Educa tional Association, an organization that Is less restricted as to its membership. The grade teachers charge that co ercion is being practiced by their prin cipals and other authorities in charge of the schools to force them to become members of the other organization. It Is this feature they resent, explaining that they have no objection to how many different teachers' and educa tors' clubs, societies or organizations may be formed. ' All they are asking Is to be left alone so far as their own association is concerned. On the other hand, the principals and City Superintendent Rigler deny that any undue influence is being em ployed to persuade the grade teachers to Join the new association. They also enter a denial to the charge by the grade teachers that the purpose of the larger association is to eliminate any other association that exists among the teachers employed In the city schools. City Superintendent Rigler explained yesterday that the object of the Port land Educational Association is to effect an amalgamation of the Principals' Association and the Teachers' Asso ciation with a view to providing one representative organization of the city schools and their instructors that will be enabled better to assume and dis charge various functions devolving on some organization connected with the schools. "The object of the proposed Portland Educational Association is to create one central organization representing the schools," explained Mr. Rigler, "to which will be eligible members of the Board of Education, the City Superin tendent, Supervisors, high school and grade teachers, ex-teachers, educators and others engaged in educational work. Such an organization was sug gested by committees representing both the principals' and the teachers' asso ciations. "We are In no way antagonistic to the Grade Teachers' Association and have practiced no coercion whatever in suggesting that grade teachers join the new organization. The association of grade teachers, of course, consists entirely of the teachers employed in the elementary grades of the city schools and is not eligible to probably 250 other Instructors and employes connected with the schools. It excludes from its membership about 100 .high school teachers, GO principals, numer ous Supervisors engaged in special work, many ex-teachers and others in terested in educational work. "The Grade Teachers' Association Ib a good institution, and is doing a splendid work in the way of profes sional Improvement. But there is no occasion for the grade teachers to con clude that an attempt Is being made to supplant their association." Miss Grace DeGraff, president of the Grade Teachers' Association, speaking for her associates yesterday, said the grade teachers had no objection to the organization of the Portland Educa tional Association, but they did pro test against any attempt to force them to join it, especially when that attempt was accompanied by the intimation that failure to do so might place them in disfavor with their superiors, and to that extent Jeopardize their employ ment In the BChools. "We feel that our organization Is necessary," said Miss DeGraff, yester day, "as an agency for considering and solving problems relating essentially to the work of the grade teacher. We now have a membership of over 400, having received more than 100 new members since the agitation for the other association was started. We seriously resent what we feel is an un warranted effort to force our affilia tion with the more recently devised association, involving as it necessarily would, more or less anabandonment of our own association." Hotel Men Back Good Roads. . During the recent session of the Ore gon State Hotelmen's Association at Seaside it was decided to prepare a good roads bill for Introduction at the coming session of the Legislature. This work was referred to the executive committee consisting of Phil Metschan, Jr., chairman; C. W. Cornelius, Ed Jorgensen. of Portland; W. F. Osborn, Eugene: W. A. Brown, Pendleton; E. L. Reese. Gearhart Park; James Bell, Medford. A preliminary meeting of this committee was held yesterday at the Imperial Hotel and an adjournment was taken until Saturday afternoon, when the draft of the bill will be com pleted. j Christian Science Lecture Tomorrow.

The New Year's edition of The Oregonian for years has been one of the chief factors in gaining new settlers for Oregon. There are thousands of families now prospering on our farms or in nnr cities who were first at tracted to this state by reading this special numDer. The value of the Annual in adwrtisinff our oDDortunities has been tested. On several oc casions trainloads of homeseek ers, coming under the special colonist rates, have been inter viewed and the individual fam what influenced them to come West. A remarkably large proportion of the replies refer to The Oregonian Annual as having first set them to thinking about Oregon. The Annual offers the great opportunity of the year for every resident to join in the pub licity movement that is doing so much to increase our popula tion. Send the Annual to your friends, wherever they reside. Oregon needs more settlers, and thousands of families can- im prove their circumstances . by casting their lot here. The Annual will be issued January 1. The price will be 5 cents. Postage in the United States, Canada or Mexico, 5 cents. Foreign postage, 10 ' cents. "
