Yesterday vras the occasion of patriotic exercises at the leading: public schools, preliminary to the celebration of Wash ington's birthday- Four members of the Oregon and Washington Society of the Sons of the American Revolution delivered addresses Mr F. K. Arnold at the High school; Mr. Reginald W. Thompson, at the Park; Mr. E. W. Allen, at the Harri son, and air. Charles 2". Walt at the Couch school. At each of the schools there were songs, recitations and other exercises by the pupils. The children were also drilled, preparatory to taking part in today's parade. The national colors were flying over each of the school buildings, and the youngsters were not lacking in the manifestation of patriotic enthusiasm. The exercises at all of the schools be gan promptly at 1 o'clock. The High school pupils packed the assembly hall at their building to listen to Mr. Arnold's address, which was received with very hearty applause. Sir. Arnold said in part: "The Society of the Sons of the Amer ican Revolution come to you today by Its delegates to present particularly the epoch suggested by its name. The ob jects of the society are set forth in its constitution as follows: 'To perpetuate the memory of the men who, by their cervices or sacrifices during the war of the American revolution, achieved the in dependence of the American people; to unite and promote fellowship among their descendants; .to Inspire them and the community at large with a more pro found reverence for the principles of the government founded by our forefathers; to encourage historical research; to ac quire and preserve the records of the individual services of the patriots of the war, as well as.documents, relics and land marks; to mark the scenes of the revolu tion by appropriate memorials; to cele brate the anniversaries of the prominent evonts of the war; to foster true patriot ism; to maintain and extend the institu tions of American freedon; and to carry out the purposes expressed in the pre amble to the constitution of our country and the injunctions of Washington in his farewell address to the American peoplG.' "This declaration of principles is broad enough to include the whole country, and to bring together, upon a common plat form, the descendants of the men -who fought on the same side from Lexington to Yorktown, and whose sons battled against each other from Bull Run to Appomatox." Mr. Arnold then reviewed the history of the revolution, particularly with refer ence to the conditions prevailing at that time and the characters of the leaders. "The language of eulogy has been ex hausted," he continued, "in sounding the praises of Washington. Wherever human virtues and human achievements are deemed worthy of honor and imita tion, there his name Is revered and his life held up as a model fcr emulation. If Washington was the central sun of that period, he was surrounded by satellites of eo mean order. Greene, Putnam, Stark. Lincoln, Marion, Lee and many others were men upon whom the great leader could Implicitly depend in any crisis. John and Samuel Adams, Hancock, Otis, Pat rick Henry. Robert Morris, Franklin, Deane and Lee, all these names are house hold words in our history; but over and above all was the loyalty, the heroism, the self-sacrifice of the common people. They were then, as they were nearly a century later, the great bulwark of the nation's life and honor. "Says Curtis in his history of the con stitution: 'Next to the august name of the president should be mentioned that great man who, as a statesman, towered above all his compeers, even in that as sembly of great men Alexander Hamil ton. Hamilton has been called the father of the constitution, and was in many respects the most brilliant man this coun try has ever seen. He had a positive geniuB for statesmanship, and came to the convention with a constitution framed In all its parts, ready to be put in oper ation at once His was the guiding hand in the convention, and wherever the con stitution was found strong during the years that followed, it was due to Ham ilton, ad wherever it was found weal it ws because his views had given way to policy. Almost before the ink on the constitution was dry came quarrels and dissensions regarding its powers, and the construction to be placed upon it. Some have been Inclined to blame its framers for leaving unsettled those great ques tions of states' rights and slavery, to de termine which nearly a century later cost the nation so much of blood and treasure. To have attempted to settle those questions in the convention would have caused its disruption, and there would have been anarchy at once. "Governments are a growth, not a craatlon, and must be added to in order to meet new .and changed conditions. You, who are about to come upon the scene of action, the future men and woman of the country, do not lightly value your birthright of citizenship in the great republic Remember what St has cost in treasure. In human lives, in toll and suffering, and should occasion arise, be ready to take your part in sim ilar endeavors. So bear yourselves as to dignify the proudest exclamation cf men: I am an American citlaen.' " At Couch school the pupils and teachers ust&mbled to the number of about 750 In the main hall In the order of their grades. First was a song. "Xobly Our Flag Floats O'or Us Today." rendered by the whole school, after which were recitations by pupils from the grammar grades. The recitations were selections from famous orations on Washington, and were ren dered with excellent effect. Next was a none. "Mount Vernon Dells." by the school, followed by th address by Mr. Walt. The speaker talked on the subject of patriotism, urging the children to im plant its splendid virtues within their hearts. The exercises concluded with the hymn, "America," rendered with much spirit. At the Park school the exercises were dlvklt-J. the grammar grades assembling in the larKe room on the second floor, while the primary grades gathered in two rooBM aa the nret floor. The exercises by th grammar grades consisted first of a salute to the national flag, as follows: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands; one na tion, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Then followed the song. "Red, White and Blue." by all the pupils. Next, class and Individual recitations and other ex ercises by pupils of the fifth, sixth, sev enth and eighth grades. Mr. Thompson thn addressed the pupils on the subject of patriotism in public schools. He gave many anecdotes of American patriots and word pictures from revolutionary his tory, devoting especial attention to the llf of Washington as an example of the pure American patriot to be emulated by all Americans. The primary grades' exercises were similar in character to those of the gram mar grades. Oae of the features was a concert exercise, the children reciting to gether the following- quotation from Washington's writings: "The foolish and wicked practice of pro fane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of char acter despises it." The exercises of both divisions CBde with the song "America" by all the pupils. The programme at the Park school was clznllar in character to the others. All the pupils were marshaled in the large as sembly hall at 1 o'clock. The order of ex ercises was as follows: Salute of the flag, school; tribute to Washington, school; "The Boyhood of Washington and His Tomb," Edgar Shockley; song, "Mount Vernon Bells," school; sajings by Washington and say ings on Washington, school; "Washing ton's Hatchet," Walter Ormandy; address, Mr. W. E. Allen; song, "America," school. All had some part in the exercises, ex cept the first- and second-grade pupils. Mr. Allen's address was In line with those at the other schools. He spoke of the deeds of the revolutionary fathers, drawing examples from them for the emulation of the pupils. He also ex pressed his gratification at having wit nessed the exercises and the spirit which had been carried through them by the pupils. A Patriotic Exerclne. The exercises yesterday afternoon in the North Central school. East Side, in honor of Washington's birthday, were a great success, and largely attended. The number seeking admission to the double schoolroom was so great that many were compelled to leave without securing even standing room. Richard Williams, Mr. Roby. C. W. Miller and D. P. Thompson, of the school board, honored the occasion with their presence. The school Hag floated over the building, and, on entering the main hall on the lower floor from the grounds, one encountered a tasteful ar rangement of bunting and flags, depend ing from the ceiling and encircling the banisters of the stairway. In the assem bly hall, composed of two class rooms, the decorations were appropriate and everything suggested patriotic sentiment. A platform was placed in the east end of the hall for use of those taking part In the exercises. Although the over crowded condition of the hall made the movements of the children in the con certed parts rather difficult, every num ber was finely rendered and received with applause by the appreciative audience. The election to determine whether the should should continue the custom of sa luting the flag every Monday morning was conducted orderly, and was carried by a handsome majority 500 for and 5 against. Certainly the teachers and pupils of North Central school are iuu of pa triotism. The following was the pro gramme: Primary department: Saluting the flag, school; song, "Mount Vernon Bells," school; recitation, "The Reason Why." Willie Fraser, Laurence Stevens, Frank Brook; hatchet drill, third and fourth grades; recitation, "Not Washing ton's Hatchet," Charles Fimple; whistling solo, Annie Brigham; recitation, "Hall Starry Flag," six pupils, fourth grade; Delsarte exercise, second grade; song, "Guard the Flag," school; annual elec tion, grammar grades; song, "Freedom's Flag," school; "Boston Tea Party," six boys and six girls; flag drill, fifth grade; recitation, "Vow of Washington," Bessie Boggs; charms, "Red. White and Blue," 12 girls; patriot march, 12 girls; annual election: salutation of the flag, school; song, "Flag of the Free." Patriotic CatliolicR. An enthusiastically patriotic celebration was held at St. Lawrence's hall last night, by the St, Lawrence parish, in honor of Washington's birthday. The hall was packed to its fullest capacity. The exer cises began at 8 o'clock with patriotic songs and recitations by the children of the parochial schools, after which Mr. Geo. C. Stout delivered an eloquent address, couched in terms calculated to be fully understood and appreciated by the chil dren before him. At the conclusion of Mr. Stout's address, the choir of the church rendered a number of patriotic songs. Archbishop Gross then addressed the audience in a patriotic speech, giving his people good, ,solid ad vice how to manifest true and sincere pa triotism, worthy of the old patriots of the republic, among whom he mentioned John Carroll, first archbishop of Baltimore, who, by his wisdom, prudence and patriotism, secured assistance for our arms in their need; also Commodore Perry, coucluding with a reference to General Phil. Sheri dan. He particularly dwelt upon the noble character of the American people who rec ognized in the members of the Catholic church good and intelligent citizens. The exercises concluded with a grand chorus, giving the "Star Spangled Ban ner." Mention should be made of the solos rendered In masterly style by the Misses Mary O'Day and Lizzie Hulme, also Pro fessor Epping, leader of the St. Lawrence choir. PROGRAMME FOR TODAY.

HER SECRET HER OWN. Anna Peterson, the Murdered Girl, tnldentlUed. A coroner's jury yesterday found that the young woman supposed to be Anna Peterson, of Salem, who died at the pri vate hospital of Mrs. Octavia Gilligan, 235 Jefferson street, Tuesday evening, came to her death from the result of an abortion, produced bj' some person un known. Today the body of the unfortun ate woman will probably be turned over to the county for burial, and consigned to a pauper's grave, no friend or relative so far having appeared to claim the re mains. It is now apparent that the deceased, even on her death bed, sought to hide her real identity, and it is doubtful if Anna Petersen was really her name. Probably it was assumed, although this fact has not yet been fully determined. The woman first came to Portland on January 2S from Salem, and, going to the Sunset lodging-house, 91 North Seventh street, told Mrs. Jennie Robb, the land lady', that she wanted the best suite of rooms she had. The desired apartments were furnished her, and two or three days after she confided to Mrs. Robb that she had no morey, and was ill. She asked indulgence for a short time, saj-ing she expected to receive some money, and, be sides, when she was well she could cer tainly earn ?20 a month. While still rooming at the Sunset house Miss Peter son and Mrs. Robb went up town together and on Washington street the former saw a man and two women whom she thought were countrymen of hers. She went up to them and engaged in conversation for a little time, seeking to gain some infor mation regarding the address of a female physician. Tearing a piece of paper from a package she had, she wrote the names of the three parties and their place of business. This scrap of brown paper may prove of importance In the future, if it can now be found, as one of the names thereon is supposed to be that of the per son who performed the criminal opera lion. While living with Mrs. Robb, Miss Peterson requested that anj' letter com ing to the house addressed to Rora Mam otii, or some such name, be delivered to her. Although she told Mrs. Gilligan that she lived in Salem, and that she did not want her mother to find out what her real condition was, she told a different story shortly after arriving here. It was to the effect that she had lived at Harris burg, Linn county, and for about three months was cmploj-ed as domestic in the family of a Dr. Dangas, and on leaving there, she had spent three days in Salem before coming to Portland. All this was brought out by the testimony of witnesses who appeared before the coroner's Jury yesterday. Dr. W. H. Say Ior, who made an autopsy, certified that death was the result of puerperal fever. Mrs. Annie McManus, present proprietress cf the Sunset house, testified that Miss Peterson had asked her if there was not a female doctor in jail for performing an abortion. She replied that she did not know, but that there was a place in the city for girls in her condition. Dr. S. L. King and Dr. E. H. Amsden testified that they had been called upon bj- the woman professionallj-, and from the latter she requested some morphine, saj-ing she was accustomed to uung it, but the drug was refused her. Mrs. Gilligan, who keeps the private hospital on Jefferson street, where the woman died, was also a wit ness, and retold the story of Anna Peter son's visit to her house, the admission she had made about having been betrayed and that some person had tried to do fcmethlng for her, but did.net understand their business. Her testimony was prac tically the same as the statement she gave on Mondaj- night, which was pub lished in The Oregonian of Tuesday .morning. Coroner Cornelius is still seeking to find the location of Miss Peterson's par ents, but so far has failed. It is believed b- Mrs. Robb that the uncle and brother-in-law that the woman wrote to shortly before her death live in St. Paul, Minn?, and not in Salem, as previously- stated! It is hardlj probable that any steps will be taken toward securing the arrest of the person or persons guilty of perform ing the operation that caused the wom an's death. There is no definite clue to work upon, and the detectives are unable to ascertain whether tne crime was com mitted In this city or at some other place before her arrival here.

Active Opposition to Removal of Trnclc Company. There is active opposition to moving the truck company from the engine-house on East Third and Pine streets to Hol laday avenue, for which arrangements have been made to go into effect March 1. A long petition, signed by the principal business men on Union avenue southward from East Burnside street, was gotten up and yesterday presented to Maj-or Frank by a delegation of citizens. It was stated at the meeting with the mayor that the public had no intimation of the intention of the fire commissioners to make the changeMintil an item appeared in The Oregonian to the effect that the Rodney-avenue engine-house had been moved to Holladay avenue, and was being fitted up for quarters for the consolidated companj', the item appearing about two weeks ago. What effect the petition will have is not known. The building on Hol laday avenue is almost ready for the new company. Mr. H. S. Rowe stated yes terdaj' that in moving truck company No. 4 and the Albina company, and making one out of them, expenses will be reduced about $4500 per annum, and the efficiency of the department will not be affected. The consolidated company will occupy high ground, and will be able to make the run to Albina in good time, and to all portions of East Portland to be covered by It, In fact, the one truck company will be able to do practically the work of two from its high location on Holladay avenue. Arrangements will be made, as soon as the change is effected, bj which the truck on the West Side will answer to calls on the East Side, and Mr. Rowe states it can come across Morrison-street bridge and reach almost any point on East Water as quickly as No. 4 can now. It can reach all points south from East Morrison quicker. A test has been made and this has been demonstrated. The move was made, says Mr. Rowe, in the interest of economy, and j-et at the same time care has been taken not to cripple the department in the least on the East Side. The engine-house in Albina was moved from the low ground to the higher on Williams avenue, and the services of a hose company on Vancouver avenue were dispensed with. It is now conceded the move was a good one, and increased the efficiency of that branch of the service. Mr. Rowe seems quite sure, when the new arrangement is understood, there will be no objections from property-own-ers who axe interested. Clinrseu Willi Larceny of n. Coat. Charles Burke was placed under arrest Wednesday evening by Constable Marks, on charge of the larceny of a coat from Jacob Snavlej-, both of the West Side. He gave 25 ball for his appearance for trial jesterday at 3 o'clock. At that hour the friends of both defendant and com plaining witness were present. They were all dressed in a stylish manner, and did not appear to have been accustomed to be seen in a justice's court- The coat alleged to have been stolen was also pro duced, and it certainly did not appear to be worth the trouble of recovering. It might have cost ?5 when new, but was probably not worth more than 75 cents according to second-hand dealers prices. The attornej-s In the case had a confer ence, and it was agreed that, if the de fendant returned the coat and paid all the costs Incurred, the case would be dis missed. This was done, and the j-oung men took their departure from the court room. Misccllnneonn Xote.s. Mr. William Schmeer will leave this morning for his usual annual trip in the Eastern states.
