In the matter of seats, the A- Y-P Exposition is particularly well provided. The grounds and buildings are especially well equipped for holding big gather ings, conventions, luncheons, banquets and outdoor sports of various kinds. There are 20 places in which conventions of various kinds can be held at the same time. The Amphitheater, in which the opening exercises were held, seat 10,000 persons, and every seat is in a commanding position. The Stadium, in which all the "big athletic meets will be held, -can seat 20,000 persons, and the magnificent Auditorium, in which many important gather ings will be held and in which some of the leading men of the United States will speak, has a seating capacity of 30Q0. For the resting places innumerable benches and chairs have been set out at convenient places on the grounds and along the boule vards. The Amphitheater will be the scene of numerous gatherings some of them of national impor tance. In June the students of the Pacific University will give the play "The Bridge of the Gods." One hundred and forty students will take part in the production of the play. The Norwegian Singing Society will give its big festival in the Am phitheater, arid the I German Saengerfest also will bey given here. The stage is ' 150 by "75 feet.' and has godd accoustic prop erties and can be fitted with scen ery as needed. , ; ., The .Auditorium is splendidly equipped for holding meetings, and this building will be devoted to special state ceremonies. Nat ional day exercises, symphony orchestra concerts, Shubert Club concerts, and similar . event?. Principally - scientific convex) tios and gatherings of a like nat ure will be held in the Fine Arts building, which, like the Audi torium, is a pennant structure, and will revert to the use of the University of Washington when the fair closes October 16. A grandstand on the shores of Lake Union, from which the fire works displays will be witnessed, will seat 5000 persons. It also affords an excellent view of the aquatic events, and is near the Govenment life-saving station at the end of Pay Streak, the amuse ment street.

The Can adian Pacific and Grand Trunk Pacific buildings are splendidly arranged for seating visitors, and the Canadian visitors will find there all possible informa tion and assistance. A WILD FLOWER GARDAN. At present there is a strong feeling among Americans for wild-flower gardens in which the plants shall be encouraged to re tain their native characteristics, says Alice Lounsberry. Many nurserymen now make a special ty of supplying plants for the wild garden. Usually it is bet ter to buy their stock than to re ly wholly on transplanting from the woods, because under care plants often develop exceeding strong roots which enable them to establish themselves more quickh' and permantly in a gar den than if just taken up from their natural surroundings, . In my garden I have a wild flower corner, or it might be called a small woods garden, since most of the things dwell ingthereare inhabitants of dense and quiet places. , A similar ef fect might be achieved in a 'bor der by those who have not so large a spare corner in their gar dens. The wild columbine has grown for years in- light, dry soil under the full sun. Not far from col umbine there snuggles in the May woods the showy orchid The moccasin flower and the large yellow lady's slipper, with other members of the evasive orchid family are to be found in the woods of May. In' fact, these two mentioned beauties, along with the showy orchid, are the three reprejentativea that have come from their native haunts into my gardeu. The large yel low lady's slipper thrives, per haps, the best of them all, and of it I have established a fairly large colony. Often a mistake of those who s.earch the woods for plants for their gardens is that they try to collect too many species. It better taste to have a few kinds and to have them in considerate numbers. The aim of wild flow ers in a garden should be to form largo, . permanent colonies; ' as scaitereii individuals tney are not sufficiently effective. Hotel Property Sold. A. R. Leabo has sold his hote! property at Forest Grove for $5000. This is part of the prop erty on which the Sloan . Hote: stands and which has been used for hotel purposes for about 50 years. Another portion of this prdpeity was sold recently arid a two-story brick is now being b- ilt, which will be used for the Knights of Pythias lodge above, two store buildiags below anTa clubhouse iu the basement. The cost of the building will be $15,-000.. THE PETROSINO CASE W. H. Eishfcp Tells Why the De tective's Slayers Will Escape. LIPS OF SICILIANS" SEALED. "Betray No One, Not Even a Murderer," . a Creed of the Race, Says American Consul at Palermo How Petrosino Scorned Protection A Change In Passports Suggested. William II. Bishop. American consul at Palermo, Sicily, who was threaten ed with death just after the assassina tion of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino In the streets of Palermo, recently ar rived in New York city. He is not telling his abiding place, for it seems desirable on more than one account that members of the Black Hand in New York should not learn o't his whereabouts. Mr. Bishop has received two letters warning him that unless ne ceases lending a hand in the search for Lieu tenant. Petrosino's assassins and in the deportation of several of the notorious Italian blackmailers now in the United States he will meet the fate which be fell Commissioner Bingham's special agent. From the time" the first warn ing letter "was received until be was safely on his way to the United States Mr. .Bishop was under the constant surveillance of two Italian detectives. They even went on board the Cunard liner Carpathia with the consul and his wife and remained until the vessel had cleared Palermo. Mr. Bishop says that, although the danger of assassination by Black Hand agents in the United States is not so great as in Sicily, he is not taking any chances. He expects to remain two months in the United States. During that time he will lay before the state department at Washington a plan which he believes will lead to the ma terial lessening of the number of Ital ian criminals who land in New York and other Atlantic ports and also will provide a means - of deporting many already in the United States who have been troubling the police of New York and other cities in the last few years. Mr. Bishop will meet Police Commis sioner Bingham in the near future to place certain information in his bands concerning the Petrosino case. Mr. Bishop's recent experiences in Palermo have been so far the most trying period of his life. His coming to the United States had nothing to do directly with the Petrosiuo case, this being his annual leave of . absence. While in America he has some impor tant matters to communicate. -j Mr. Bishop said frankly that he did not believe that the murderers of Lieu tenant retrosino would ever be caught. The- Sicilian police have been ham- pered from the start, he says,-by the fact that nearly, every Sicilian is averse to telling anything- he knows td the police. There is" a dogma which has come down from the middle ages and is still in fujl force in Sicily which makes it well nigh impossible for the police to catch some criminals." said Mr. Bish op. "This is the belief that it is un manly to tell anything about a fellow countryman which could get him Into trouble. It is called 'omerta' in the Sicilian tongue, which means manli ness. They believe it is dishonorable to inform ou any one even in a case of murder." Mr. Bishop said that Petrosino did not seem to realize the danger of bis mission. ' He even went about the streets unarmed and had no revolver with him when he was murdered. The dispatches from Palermo at. the time said that Petrosino did have a revolver and fired back at bis assassins. I frequently spoke to Lieutenant Petrosino about his danger," said Mr. Bishop, "but he made light of it. I asked him if the Black Hand agents in New York had never tried to kill him. He said he had been threatened many times, but was never afraid. "AH- the stories about his wearing a coat of mail were untrue. When he was shot his revolver was in his room at the hotel. ' When fie first came to Palermo the authorities asked him if he didn't want a guard to accompany him. They told him it was dangerous to go about on such a" mission alone. but be refused any escort "One day he was going into a very dangerous locality infested with men known to be desperate. He asked me what he had better do. I told him to take along some of the carabinieri. but he finally decided to go alone. That was just before he was shot down "Lieutenant Petrosino did not even disguise himself. True, he registered under an assumed name at the hotel and let his beard grow, but it changed him very little. He was of a distinc tive type, easily recognized. I told him one day that he looked like Na poleon, and he said 'Yes' and that in New York they called him a second McKlnley, as he looked not unlike the former president. - "The . people of Palermo were In cllned to look upon Lieutenant Petro sino as an intruder, and after, his mur der many would say that he got what he deserved. I only tell this to show what a difficult proposition the authorities-have been up against In trying to locate his murderers." - i Mr. Bishop said that the immigration laws had not been lived' up to in Italy for many years.. He said that tinder the present passport system there Is no means of Identifying the holder of a passport other than the general de scription given. , . "Evgrfr passport should have the photograph of the man for whom it is Issued." he said. "The present system Is a farce. MEMORIAL TO THE INDIAN. Sisnt Statue Planned For New York Hcrbcr by Rodman Wahamaker. In the grand ballroom at Sherry's, in S'ew York, the other night Uodman Vv'aua maker, son of .lobn Wahamaker, tendered a dinner to Colonel William !'. Cody (Buffalo Bill' which will be long remembered by those who at tended. It was suggested during the evening that a statue of an American Indian, with arms ; outstretched in welcome to the world and matching in size the Liberty statue, be placed iu New York harbor at the Hudson's mouth. The memorial will 'be erected by Uodman Waiiatuaker. sou of Johu Wana maker. Colonel Cody voiced the proposition, and it was indorsed by General Nelson A. Miles, General Leonard Wood and General Horace Porter. ....... it was a distinguished company that listeued to Colonel Cody after he was presented, by the toastmaster. .lob E Hedges. They applauded the colonel. who. with a bow to Sioux Chief Iron shell and bis son Henry, dressed in their war togs and feathers, first paid tribute to the great service rendered by Mr. Wanamaker iu sending expedi tions to the far west for the collection of historical material so that the van isliing red inau should, not go down iu history with the real virtues of his great race unknown and unappreciated "Air. wanamaker has not told me what he intends to do for the Indian." said Coliiiu-I Cody. "1 know the value of his expeditions, but 1 believe he has in mind some further way of perpetu ating the character of the race. 1 have an ijea that the work uow begun means a monument iu the harbor as big" as Liberty or bigger of an Indian with bands extended in welcome. I have known the red man since 1 was a baby. I have known him on the warpath and in peace, and I have known him to be always honorable in peace or war. He has been driven back over the country of which he once was lord. I have seen the bones of white men on Indian laud, but nev er have I seen the bones of Indians on white men's land." General Miles, old Indian fighter and friend of Buffalo Bill, praised ' his scout and told stories of the plains, General Porter, who crossed the eon tinent before the days of the first transcontinental railroad, said he had found Buffalo Bill the most reliable scout in the country, and Cody always knew where the best grass, water and whisky could be had. WOULD LABEL ALL THE BIRDS. Illinois Audubon Society's Plan to Shed Light on Their Habits. If a plan the Illinois Audubon socie ty has in mind goes through it will not be long before one will be able to cap ture any bird whatsoever, glance at his right leg and see thereon a neatly tabulated history of the bird's career. telling his winter aud summer quar ters and where he was last seen. At a business' meeting of the society the other afternoon in Fullerton Hall Art institute, Chicago, a remark was made of the fact that there were a number of birds in existence of whom little was known, not even their mi gratory courses. 'A scheme has been tried out which might be successful in this case." re marked Ruthven Deaue, president of the society, "and which would help us in learning where these birds winter. Whenever, one of them is captured alive let a small bit ?f aluminium be put on his right leg. upon which shall be the place and date he was last seen. When he is again found, in some oth er clime, his identity will be known." The suggestion was enthusiastically received, and the Audubon societv re quested that funds with which to pur chase the "tags," or labels, be sent to headquarters: also any individual de siring to lend personal effort to the work would please answer. NATIONS IN MIMIC SEA BATTLE San Francisco's Emissary to European Capitals Will Arrange Such Event. A farewell luncheon, attended by men widely known in California, was given the other. day to C. C. Moore, who recently left San Francisco for Washington, whence he will go to European capitals to interest foreign governments in the Portola festival to be held in San Francisco next Octo ber to commemorate the discovery of San Francisco bay and the rehabilita tion of the city of San Francisco. Mr. Moore will try to induce foreign nations to send warships to San Fran cisco to participate in a mimic inter national sea battle, which it is planned to have fought In San Francisco bay in Portola week. -An Anti-treating Saloon., The first anti-treating saloon in the United States will be opened at Des Moines. Ia., on May 22. Permit to open was granted the other night to A. S. Kirkhart of Des Moines, who controls fifteen saloons and declares that if the venture, proves a success he will in stall the same system in all of the others. Kirkhart' s plan goes that of Bishop Potter one better in that treat ing will not be tolerated. Payson, the Walker. Here's to you, Payson Weston Hooray!- Hooray!

PLAN 0FHEW AIRSHIP Washington Man Building Unique Type of Machine. HAS GAS BAGS AND PLANES. G. W. Byron's Aerial Craft Is Combina tion of Aerodrome and Dirigible Bal loon Inventor Predicts It Will Be Flier of Future and Could Destroy Big Fleet. George West Eyrcn Of Washington is building an airship which will be a combination of an aerodrome and dir igible balloon and which will be total ly different from anything heretofore constructed either in the United States or in Europe. Mr. Byron has obtained patents on his aerial craft and believes it will revolutionize navigation of the air. This latest ship of the clouds con sists of two superimposed planes, each forty feet wide and seventy-five feet long, constructed of aluminium tubing, strengthened with manganese' bronze and vandium steel, the strongest possi ble construction. The extraordinary feature of these planes Is that the up per one consists of five flat connected gas bags inclosed In a rigid aluminium envelope and the lower plane of seven simitar gas Dags, also inclosed in a rigid flat envelope. The planes are seven feet apart. This construction gives an air supporting surface simi lar to the planes in the Wright ma chine and with the gas bags has the additional buoyancy of a dirigible or a free balloon. Suspended from the low er plane by a strong steel wire net work is the car of the airship. This is slightly smaller In area than one of the planes. In the car is located the engine that will drive the ship. A motor of twen ty-five horsepower will be used, which will develop a speed of more than forty miles an hour. A bicycle framework,- with four wheels, is attached to the bottom of the car. The ship will rest on this when it is on ,the' ground. One of the ingenious features of this framework is that the wheels fold up automatically when the vessel Is in the air. The propellers two in front and two' behind are placed at the least point of resistance in the car, the engine be ing located amidships. The cabin will act as a ballast to preserve the equi librium, so that the airship will be sta ble even in a strong wind. The whole machine will weigh when completed only 800 pounds, and it will have a lifting capacity of nearly 1.000 pounds more than its weight, the inventor claims. Mr. Byron believes this type of air ship will be the aerial craft of the fu ture, combining as it does the advan tages of a true heavier than air ma chine and the buoyancy : and lifting capacity of a dirigible balloon. With this -type accidents such as cost the life of Lieutenant Selfridge In the wreck of the Wright machine last summer at Fort Myer would be impos sible. The inventor in speaking of his ma chine said: An airship of this type, -carrying 900 pounds of tubing filled with high explosives and a crew of four men. could destroy the largest battleship fleet in a few hours. It could do it with perfect safety, for the ship would be practically indestructible, even if it were hit many times with shells fired from forts or from the battleships. This type of airship is bound to be the one in universal use in a few years." It is stated that several Washington capitalists have investigated Byron's plans and have advanced considerable sums for the construction of the air ship. Mr, Byron is unable to say just when the craft will be completed, but when it is finished trials probably will be held near Washington, and if it comes up to the expectations of those inter ested the United States government will be given the opportunity of pur chasing it and the patents under which it is constructed. Washington Post. Artificial Flower Fans Next. Fans made of artificial flowers now are used by women in the most fns'.i ionab:i' .i::-!e.s in l.t:ilon s;nd Paris. Mrs. Potter Palnier was one of the fir.--t to carry a flower fan, which was of lilies of the valley so delicately cut and colored as to appear natural to the most critical eye. The flowers are placed in a crescent along the tips of ivory ribs, which are left bare and without carving or other decoration. When folded these fans give the effect of flowers gathered compactly in a tall, slender vase. A silk bow is tied to one of the outer ends, the bow of fering a colpr contrast to the flowers used. The fans now are made in lilies of the valley, Parma violets and roses, and It is likely they soon will be seen in the United States. Ice Skating Rink a Summer Novelty. - The grill room in the Plaza hotel, in New York, will be transformed into an ice skating rink, which will be opened June 15 and kept open' until cold weather comes. ' An orchestra, the members of which will wear white uniforms, will play In . the rink each' afternoon and evening. Skates will be furnished to persons staying In the hotel, and an effort will be made to restrict the. use of-the icy floor to those persons and their friends. Ar rangements - have been made with makers of Ice. who will use pipes from the engine room of the Plaza1 in lay ing a coating of ice on a einc floor to b placed over the tile floor in the grill roots.
