THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAXD, DECEMBER 1. 1907. BIGGEST HEB FAILURE RECORDED Mismanagement and Care lessness Responsible for Jamestown Fizzle.- QUESTION AS TO OUTCOME; Some Advise lleopenlng, but This Is ot Thought Feasible Bickerings and Petty Jealousies Kxtst From the Opening Day. NORFOLK. Va.. Nov. 30. (Special.) The Jamestbwn Tercentennial closed to night with the record of being one of the most complete failures "In the history of expositions. Its debts form a total of E.500,000. The story of the fiasco can be told In two words, mismanagement and care lessness. The funds were misdirected, the work waa delayed, the officials were not in harmony because of petty lealousies and the publicity department was bungled. When . the exposition opened. April 26, It was only about one third complete. Tho Government pier, which was advertised as one of the chief attractions, was not dedicated until Sep tember 10. and many other features were not in readiness until the doom of the Exposition bad been sealed. The attendance was miserable, the peo ple would not come. There were only a few days during the fair when the at tendance was more than 50,000. The Btate of North Carolina carried off tho palm with an .attendance of 60,000 upon the day set apart for that commonwealth. Even Georgia brought more people than did the Old Dominion, whose early his tory the Fair commemorated. Attendance Very Low. The average of attendance was between TO.OOO and 50,000. Tho officials of the Fair complain that It was "knocked" to death. Others declared that the shiftlessness of the management deserved the criticism. It is certain that the opening day left many men who could nave been of service to the enterprise In a disgruntled frame of mind. Many prominent visitors were Ignored and had to shift for themselves, naturally taking the Incident as a snub. Newspaper- men, visiting and local, were unanimous in the feeling that they "had been handed a lemcfh." Even In the face of disaster many of the officials want the .Fair reopened next Spring. The movement to this end has some strong adherents, but the possibility of a continuance of the Tercentennial is remote. The various State Commissioners oppose the project." There Is no assurance that the Government will permit its exhibits to remain here all Winter. Many of the private exhibitors proclaim that they have had enough. . Condition of the Finances. The following table contains the essen tial facta in the financial status of the Exposition: Government loan to exposition $1,000,000 Other Government loans and aid.. 2,000.000 Railroads loan 200.000 ' Norfolk and Portsmouth bankers' " loan 65.009 Total debts remaining 2,500,000 Cost of Government piers 400.000 Estimated value of property 5,000,000 The great Government piers, extend ing 2500 feet Into Hampton Roads and, loined by the longest single span of con crete In America, cost the Federal Gov ernment $400,000 and were open to the public for only two months. To what use they can be put In the future is a. vexed problem. There is a possibility that the Govern ment may purchase the site, .valued at 15.000,000, deducting the $WO,000 which the Exposition Company still owes It on a straight loan of $1,000,000 for the pur pose of establishing a training station for sailors and marines there. It is pointed out by those in favor of this plan that the location is an ideal one for such an institution. Various kxplanatlons Given. Wretched transportation facilities, with exorbitant fares, was another condition which Is believed to have helped to keep the public from patronizing the Fair. The trolley lines leading to the grounds aroused much complaint. The hotels restaurants and lodging-houses ran their prices skyward at the opening of the Ex position and the first arrivals, embittered by unreasonable charges, returned home to warn their friends against making the trip. The managing mechanism was cumber some in , tho extreme and the "board of governors was rent with bickerings. When failure stared the enterprise in the face, J. M. Barr, former president of the Seaboard Air Line, was made director general without salary. He appointed II. W. Kohlsaat his special representa tive to meet visiting dignitaries, where upon President Harry St. George Tucker, who had been doing the honors, handed In his resignation. Then Mr. Barr took offense and also withdrew. Alvah M. Martin, County Clerk and an Influential politician, was his successor, but no im provement attended his administration and the Fair continued to go downhill. The financial backing of the Fair was largely local. The bankers and capitalists of Norfolk have been harder hit than ever before in the city's history. Good Results of Parole. CHICAGO. Nov. 30. The unprecedented attainments of Judge McKenzie Cleland's "parole cure" as a cupkl restorative and obliterator of alcoholism came to light last night as the 93 paroled patrons ap peared before the court. One woman declared since Bhe became a "patient" she had "fallen in love with her husband." One man said the total abstinence experienced after he tool? the parole cure was the first sober moment lie had known for two years. In almost every instance testimonials of the bene ficial results of Judge Cleland's prescrip tion were related. The reports of the parole officers showed that in a few cases the homeo pathic doses of the parole cure were not of sufficient strength to cause an im provement or complete cure. Judge Cleland promptly issued warrants for those who had failed to profit by his clemency and they will be sent to Bride- well. Judge Cleland expressed himselt as 1 satisfied with the results of hi3 temper- j ance pledge parole system. BANQUET OF THE WIDOWS 'L'ncle Bill" Brown's Birthday j Party Is a Huge Success. DALLAS, Or., Nov. 30. Seventy-five smiling widows began to arrive between 11 p.na 12 o'clock this .forenoon at the D.i'.ias Hotel, where at noon they eat down as guests of W. C. Brown at the most unusual spread Dallas has wit nessed. This is Mr. Brown's 83d birthday. Hi; is a widower' himself. Carriages were provided by "Uncle SHI." a Mr. Brown Is popularly known, for the widows who had to come from a distance or through infirmity were unable to conveniently attend. No chance to dis play thoughtfulness has been overlooked by this pioneer of 1847, who today Is en trenched in his reputation as the gallant of Dallas. All the widows in Dallas are not old. Among the throng were several sedate oung women whope helpmates Fate causec to leave them lonely while still on ihe bright side of 30. There were so many fair sharers of "Uncle Bill's" hospitality that dinner was served without formality. The white bearded host occupied the place of honor. Many a sparkling eye, and some from which years have stolen luster lingered Just a moment on him. Mr. Brown is handsome. Mr. Brown was called on for an after dinner speech, to which he responded In a happy vein. Being of a retiring nature and somewhat nervous, his voice trembled and at times showed signs of a break down, but toward the close he was him self again. He wished that the widows of Dallas might have long life and plenty. Possibly, on account of age. he might pass to the beyond before he had another birthday, he said, and the scene was then affecting. Mr. Brown was born 83 years ago, in Ohio, and came to Oregon In 1847, settling near Albany. Two years later ho moved to Dallas, .where he married Martha Townsend. In 1853 he Btarted the first store in Dallas, and from that time gradually increased his business until he had built up for himself an independent fortune and become one of the largest property Iio'.'iers In this city. It was he who scattered $100 in nickels for the school children to scramble for In 1902, an event that was noted throughout the entire country. EVANS CONTEST IS ENDED F.ugenie's Dentist Willed Million to Museum and Institute. NEW YORK, Nov. 30, Title deeds were filed yesterday transferring to the Thomas W. Bvans Museum and Institute Society property valued at $1.0l000. The filing of these deeds marks the end of the long litigation over the will of the late Dr. Thomas W. Evans, who was the friend of kings and queens. Dr. Evans was born in Philadelphia In 1S23 and studied dentistry. In 1846 he located in Paris, and from then until his deatli ne was perhaps the most promi nent American In Europe. He was not only dentist to Napoteon III and his wife, the Empress Eugenie, but their In timate friend as well. When on Septem ber 4, 1870, the news came to Paris of the defeat of, the armies under the Em peror, the revolution broke out and the Empress made haste to escape the city With a single companion she got as far as Dr. Evans' house, where she took refuge from the mobs. There she was secreted and finally Dr. Evans took her in his own carriage and succeeded in getting her out of the country and to the sear-oast, where she took ship for Eng land. . Dr. Evans died in 1897 and left the bulk of his fortune to found a museum and scientific institute. Numerous claimants sprung up and It was not until recently that the estate was settled. CAUSED THOUSAND DEATHS Woman Guilty of' Malpractice Sen- tended to Joliet. CHICAGO, Nov.' 30. "Doctor" Lucy Hagenow, almost 60 years' old, was found guilty of murder today in Judge Chet lain's Court, and sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. She was tried on a charge of causing the death of Mrs. Anna Horavltch by an Illegal operation. She had been previously convicted of a simi lar crime and sentenced to an indetermin ate term in the penitentiary for man slaughter, but was paroled after serving a year. Her removal to Joliet for 20 years removes from Chicago a woman who has long been a tflorn in the flesh of the police, and an object of attack bj reputable physicians and medical soci eties. It was stated in the closing argu ments for the state that Mrs. Hagenow had practiced as a midwife in the United States, most of the time in Chicago, for 35 years, and had been the cause of 1000 deaths. Mrs. Hagenow was also decused of hav ing brought about the death of Miss Lola MaddlBon, a sister of Mrs. Bradley, who is being tried for the murder of Senator Arthur Brown. Miss Maddison's dying statement, used at the trial, was instrumental in bringing about a conviction. By a coincidence, the Hagenow verdict was rendered on the closing day of the trial of Mrs. Bradley at Washington. Barred From California. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30. The Exam iner says today that three of the largest insurance companies 'doing business on the coast have been denied certificates of authority to do any further business in this state by Insurance Commissioner B. M. Wolf.. The companies affected are the Palatine of London, the Commercial Union of London, and the Williamsburgh of New York. The three companies Insisted on taking suits for losses sustained in the great fire into the United States courts. This is in violation of a law passed at the last regular session of the legisla ture, which provided as a penalty the revocation of authority to transact In surance business In the state, for the transfer of any suit from the state courts to the United States Circuit Court. Deadly Klevator Accident. CHICAGO, Nov. 30.

SLIGHT HOPE OF RESCUE Skip Loaded With Men Becomes Wedged In Shaft, Where Smoke" Surges Vpward Rescuers Fail to Reach Them.' DRYTOWN, Cal.. Nov. 30. Eleven min ers in the Fremont Cover gold mine are shut off from the surface by means of a severe fire, which is raging at the 1100 foot level, and all hope of rescuing them alive has been abandoned.- The miners were working below the 1100-foot level. The employes as usual were hoisted from tho underground works at npon. At 1 o'clock the first skip, containing 13 men, was lowered in the Fremont shaft. On its reaching the 1000-foot level, volumes of smoke were encountered, showing ha.t the mine was on fire. The skip became jammed at this point and could neither be hoisted nor lowered. It is supposed to have been thrown off the track by one of the men being overcome by . smoke and falling against the front ,wheels of the Pkip. Two of the men aboard got out and climbed to the surface by means of the ladderway. The other 11 were in the mine at last accounts. It is believed that all have perished. Smoke Drives Back Rescuers. Great volumes of smoke have been ris ing from the shaft ever since. An at tempt was made to reach the imprisoned men through the Gover shaft, several hundred feet distant from the Fremont. It Is a part of the Fremont Consolidated mine and the two shafts are connected at the 700-foot level. The rescuers got as far as the 700-foot level, but could go no further on account of the smoke. Four of the imprisoned men are Amer icans, four Italians and three Austrians. No hope ig entertained that any are now alive. Steps are being taken to close the mine airtight and extinguish the rlames In that way. The Fremont is largely owned by Good all & Perkins, of San Francisco, and has beep, on a dividend-paying basis. Hope of Survival Lives. At 10 o'clock tonight the fire is not burning so fiercely and some hope is en tertained that the entombed miners may have ft into a long drift away from the shaft and fire, and will yet be rescued. Manager Goodall and a large force of miners on each level from the Qover side are making every effort to stop the fire and get to the entombed miners.
