DISPLAY ON EAST SIDE FIREWORKS TO BE GIVEff THERE OX THE FOURTH. Decision Is Reached by General Committee After Some Opposi tionDetails of Parade. Contrary to the custom that has been followed In previous years, the fireworks for the Fourth of July celebration will be exploded this year on the East Side. This was decided, upon at a meeting of the general Fourth of July committee held last night. The display will be made on JJolladay avenue and west of Union ave nue. The motion to have the fireworks on the East Side was made by J. D. Mann. L. D. Cole made an amendment to hold them on the Seventh-street terrace in South Portland. Julius I. Meier supported the amendment, and Major Kennedy spoke for the East Side. The East Side propo sition prevailed by a considerable major ity. 2T. "W. Rountree, chairman of the sub committee on fireworks, reported that the order for the display, -with the exception of one or two set pieces, had "been placed in San Francisco. Mr. Rountree stated that the display would be a very fine one. One of the set pieces which will be made here Is a reproduction of the battle-ship Oregon, 23x50 feet. An ap propriate inscription will accompany the production. L N. FJelschner, chairman of the com mittee on music, reported that it had been practically decided to hire five bands, or, strictly speaking, four bands and a drum corps to be used in the parade and lit erary exercises, as well as at the fireworks at night. These bands are the Third Regi ment band, the Mount Tabor band, De Caprio's band, the Southern Pacific band, and the Boys' Drum Corps. Thus, music will cost tully $700, the full amount ap propriated by the general committee for that purpose. The report of the parade committee was presented by General O. Summers, who stated that while the full details of the parade, together with the line of march, cannot be announced, still substantial progress has been made, and the general outline of the parade was given. One of the principal features will be the Swiss citizens, who will undertake to present the dairy interest of Portland and vicin ity in graphic and Interesting fashion. They Trill have three floats, a Swiss band and a drove of fine dairy cows. In ad dition there will be a division of Swiss citizens in the marehlnc- lino . in various other ways the dairy interest will be set forth. The Italian citizens of the city and county will exhibit the gardening inter ests in a novel fashion. All the military organizations of the city, and some from outside towns will be in line, as well as civic and secret organizations. The Mayor and Common Council will be on the reviewing stand, and an Imitation will be extended to Governor Gker and staff to be there also. General Summers stated that he was particularly anxious to have a good floral display in the parade, and to that end he urges all persons desirous or willing to make a floral display communicate with him as soon as possible. The committee has hung 5540 for prizes for the various organizations that participate in the pa rade. The committee adjourned to meet Fri day night. The meetings are held in room 303j Chamber of Commerce. Tliree Years' Sentence.

Deputy District At torney Manning stated to the court that Wilson appeared to be penitent, and the prosecution would not ask for severe sentence. Judge Frazer asked: "What have you to say- for youself?"- "Nothing, your honor," was the reply, "except that I was intoxicated and had been in that condition for two months. I was" crazy for whisky and willing to do almost anything to get it" "You will be imprisoned in teh peniten tiary for three years." said Judge Fra zer. ""I will not sentence you on the other charge, but will lay that matter aside to see how you behave in the future." HIb Mind Wa Unsettled by Drink and by His Disgrace While Serv ing as a Juror. The body of Frederick Rehorst, the re tired barber, who disappeared from the Esmond Hotel last Thursday morning, after he had been reprimanded for intoxi cation while serving as a juror In the State Circuit Court?, was found in the river yesterday, at the foot of Raleigh street The body was conveyed to Holman's un dertaking rooms, and the verdict of the Coroner's jury was that Rehorst, whjle laboring under suicidal mania, due to over indulgence in liquor, jumped off Morrison street bridge and was drowned. From the evidence given before the Coroner's jury, it appeared that the re- Portland of late, owing to the unremlttent efforts of the police force in watching the arrival of suspicious characters, and placing them under surveillance. Many thugs on the way South from overdone towns on Puget Sound have' been hauled up before Chief McLauchlan within the past 12 months, and given to understand that they could not operate here without risk of speedy capture and conviction. As these three highwaymen who robbed Pa ling were not masked, he obtained a fair mental photograph of each, especially of the big fellow, who held 'him, and It Is more than likely that the two have left town after "turning just one trick." PLANS FOR BOAT RAILWAY, In Man Who 3Ioved the Lightship working on Them. Andrew Allen, the Portland house- mover, who rescued Lightship No. 50 by pulling the" vessel bodily out of the sand and hauling her overland to Baker's Bay, Is at work on plans for a boat railway at Celllo. He is of the opinion that a rail way can be built over the eight miles necessary at one-eighth the cost of a canal, and that tho muntin. - buke administered to Rehorst when he of the railway will also be less than those recently reported as juror before the State of a canal and locks, wis nian -..

HAY FORM A UNI0H. Portland's Bartenders Start a Move xuent Toward Organization. Portland bartenders are likely to have an association of their own, pretty soon, according to H. A. Duke, of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, -who was seen yesterday In regard to it Mr. Duke ex pects to organize a. hrnnoh nf ttio tt tel and Restaurant Employes' Alliance, which he says will Include the bartenders as well. "The organization," he said, "has 250 branches in the United States at present, and all the large cities have at least one each. The bartenders of Portland have no grievances, but are simply going to organize for mutual pro tection, as the cigar-makers have done. A member of such an organization, on reaching a strange city, can hand his card to the local lodge and be made to feel at home. Should he desire employ ment, the card will help him. Inasmuch as It will be a recommendation from his former townspeople. "There are between 250 and 300 bar tenders in Portland, and it is those who are employed In the best places at the highest wages who desire to organize a branch here. The tendency of the pro posed union will be toward equalizing wages, which will work no injustice to anyone. Some bartenders are now work ing for $25 per month, while others get $65 for the same work. The efforts of the organization will be to bring the Ill-paid man's wages up to a living price, while the better paid man's wages will not be reduced." The proposition does not meet with favor on the part of the saloon proprietors spoken to on the matter, as they fear trouble may result from strikes, but those bartenders who desire to organize think this fear will prove unfounded, as strikes and lock-outs do not necessarily follow in the wake of labor organizations when employer and employed use judg ment, and are both willing to make con cessions in the other's Interests. The meeting of bartenders in Allsky Hall one -vc"'s "st wees aia not succeed in or ganizing, owing to the small attendance, but the promoters hope to have a larger asemblage next time. . FIRM NOT TO BLAME. Bargains -Erroneously Advertised for Llpmnn, "Wolfe fc Co. In yesterday's Oregonian Lipman, Wolfe & Co. advertised 2750 bargains In Muslin Underwear, consisting of corset covers and drawers at 25 cents each, and gowns at 45 cents. The store was thronged with ladles who took advantage of the bar gains offered, and cleared the counters. By mistake of the Evening Telegram an advertisement was Inserted in last night s paper announcing the same special sale today. The error was an unfortu nate one as the supply of goods adver tised Is exhausted. This explanation Is due Messrs Lipman, Wolfe & Co as their house always carried out promises made in their advertisements.

Rehorst went on a protracted drinking bout, and he told several of his acquaintances that he could not stand the disgrace. He was advised to make light of the matter, and he consulted Dr. "Walter C. Belt, of Sunnyslde, about his nervous condition, and asked to be sent tb a hospital. Dr. Belt consulted Judge Frazer, and as the latter had no objec tion the necessary arrangements for Re horst's removal to the hospital were made; but at the last moment Rehorst refused to leave his hotfel. The physician then administered medicine to his patient, and left him, promising to call back. About 1 o'clock last Thursday morning Rehorst was seen to rush out of his room In an excited condition, and run to the back porch of the hotel, where he was met by another boarder, who mistook him for a burglar. The boarder had a revolver, and he leveled it at Rehorst and said: "Hands up." "Don't shoot. I'm Rehorst," said that individual, and the other man lowered his revolver, saying that he thought he was confronting a burglar. Suddenly Rehorst) said: "You might have shot anyway." The discussion ended then, but shortly afterward 'Rehorst ran out of the front door of the hotel. Policeman Nash rapid ly walked after him. but In the darkness Rehorst disappeared, and the hotel people never saw him alive again. Patrick Murphy, S4 North Eighth street, testified that he found Rchorst's body noatlng in the river, at the foot of Raleigh street. "With the assistance of another man, witness got a boat and towed the body to the Albina ferry. The body was badly decomposed, and neither boots nor socks were on the feet. A postal card was found In one of the pockets, addressed to the dead man's nephew, Fred J. Peck, of the San Francisco postofllce, and the only words that could be deciphered were: "I am still here. I am sick of town." The card was evidently Intended for mailing to the nephew. A telegram was sent Vo Mr. Peck notify ing him of the occurrence, and a reply was received that Mr. Peck would leave San Francisco for this city today. Rehorst was born In Germany, 47 yeara ago, and he retired from business as a barber about 1897. He was well off, finan cially, and had money Invested In stocks. He was unmarried. One witness, August Geiths, told the Jury: "I never saw Re horst drunk, and I never saw him buy anybody a drink." cradle will run. The steamboats will be orougnt over tnis cradle and hauled up the Incline, and over the eight miles of track to the other end of the rapids, where the vessel can be gently set afloat again. 'We have every advantage as regards rapidity .nd economy of construction," Mr. Allen said yesterday, "while the time required to haul a bo'at over the dalles is also much less. I have been studying this question for the past 15 years, and I think my experience in successful mov ing heavy bodies entitles my theory to some consideration. When my plans and estimates are on paper I will submit them to the United States engineers for their consideration. When the Government be comes convinced that my scheme is the most feasible, as well as the most eco nomical. I feel sure the project will be taken up. I consider that a canal at these rapids would be very expensive to build and at the same time not so well calculat ed to move heavily-laden steamboats dur ing periods of high water. The boat railway could be bullt In a few months; the pro posed canal, which would have to be blasted out of the basaltic rock, would take years to finish. My plan Is, there fore, the best, not only for the Govern ment, but for the people of the Inland Empire, who have grain to ship by boat to tidewater at Portland."

Workingman Relieved of $35 In the Shadow of a Chnrcli. Joseph Saling, a whitewashes residing at 268 Front street, says he was held up Friday evening alongside the Taylor- oireet jxu a. unurcn and relieved of $35. He was passing along down Taylor street when three men sprang out from the shadow of a projecting buttress. With out saying a word the big man of the trio placed his hand over Sallng's mouth to prevent an outcry, and the other two went through his pockets, where they found the $S5. They then made off; a crowd, including a policeman, gathered, and Saling told his story as best he could. The matter was not reported by the po lice, as the detectives desired to cap ture the thugs before publicity was given the incident, but as they have now had three days in which to overhaul them, this publication will probably not interfere with the course of justice. Skiing is considered a truthful man by those who know him, and as he has no wife to deceive as to how he lost the money, his friends do not think he fooled It away at the gaming table, and then in vented a hold-up story. He follows the vocation of fruit-tree sprayer in the Win ter, and in Summer uses the same spray pump to whitewash with. He had just received the 135 as pay for work done on a livery stable, and feels, therefore, as though he had a better right to it than the three rascals who lay in wait for him In the shadow of a house of worship, HEROINE IN AN ACCIDENT. Miss Kate "White, Formerly of Port land, Distinguishes Herself. Miss Kate H. White, of Oakland, Cal., daughter of Captain George D. "White, formerly manager for Murphy, Grant & Co., In Portland, proved herself a heroine In a train disaster near Santa Cruz, Cal., recently. The train jumped the track, and the cars piled up. The train almost went over a steep precipice. A San Francisco paper In speaking of the accident says: And here the accident evolved Its heroine in the person of Miss Kate Howard White, a beautiful girl, whose home Is at 1253 Webster street, Oakland, and who had been visiting her aunt, Mrs. F. W. Swanton, of this city. She was soon be side the doctor, bathing the wounds of the Injured men. "What can we use for bandages?" asked the physician. Miss White at once offered her hand kerchief and seeing how Inadequate this was, her ready wit provided what was necessary. She had her trunk in the bag gage car. This she ordered broken open. Then, taking out one after another of her dainty under garments, she tore them into strios and mvo thsm to the doctor to bo used as bandages. No trained nurse could have been more courageous or more deft. She held the blood-stained heads of the men m her lap, bathing and fanning them. The wrecking train came up. A special train came to carry the passengers to San Francisco. The passengers went, but Miss White stuck to her self-appointed task, and when the Injured men were put in a car bound for the metropolis, she remained with them, ministering to their needs, attending to every request of tne attending surgeons, and winning the praise and admiration of everybody. TWO MEN HELD. Kaufman and Sellsrmaa Bonnd Over to" Face Grand Jury. F. Kaufman was brought before Mu nicipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses In Issuing checks on banks where he knew he had insufficient funds, and was held in $1000 ball for the grand Jury. Judge Cameron said he would take up only one case against Kaufman, in which the lat ter received $30 on a check he gave to Miss IJams, his stenographer. In closing, the Judge read a decision in a case re ported in California No. 11, the People vs. V. Donaldson, in which the Issue In contention Is similar to Kaufman's: "A bank check may be a false token, and would be such under the statute, if the arawer Knew when he gave it, payable the bank upon which he drew it. There was evidence given at the trial of the cause which tended to show that the de fendant did not have the money to meet the alleged fraudulent check, or credit at the bank upon which he drew It, which would warrant any belief upon his part that It would be paid." M. Sellgman was also accused of the same charge, and his lawyer waived ex amination. Sellgman was held In $750 bail for the grand jury. PROMINENT NEGRO HERE. J. Edward HaivUlns, of Seattle, Prop agating IVcgro Masonry. J. Edward Hawkins, a well-known col ored attorney of Seattle, Is In Portland, engaged In the propagation of negro Ma sonry. Many members of the local lodge of negro Masons, Enterprise, No. 4, have been organized Into a camp of Mystic Shriners, by Mr. Hawkins, who is grand potentate of the Mystic Shrine for Wash ington and Oregon. Tonight the annual sermon will be de- retary of the Poryand Board of Trade, will be present and explain the objects of the organization. It is 'desired that a strong board be started in this neighbor hood. Several members of the Sellwood Sub-Board will also be present. SCHOOL BOARD MEETS. Makes Progress in Electing Teach ers for Next Term. The School Board met last night in ex ecutive session, and partly completed the work of selecting the teachers for next term. The work will be completed to night, and the full list be printed in The Oregonian Wednesday morning. Prior to going into executive session the board let the contract for the heat- ' lng of the new Central School to Gardner & Co., and the plumbing for the same building to Shea & Co. The resignation of Miss Mary S. Bar low, who has been a teacher In the Port land schools for 18 years, was received. Miss Barlow's mother recently died at her home in Clackamas County, and Miss Barlow will return to her home on this account. Her aged father is still living. a livered before Enterprise LKjdge, No. 4. at the church, corner Thirteenth and Main General resrret was exnressed hv ths mpm. streets. The sermon will be delivered by bers of the board concerning Miss Bar Rev. J. W. Wright, and will be followed low's resignation, and it was referred to by a banquet. Several years ago the Superintendent Rigler with the lnstruc- grand lodge of Washington of the Masons created a sensation In the Masonic fra ternity throughout? the United States by extending the right hand of fellowship to the negro Masons. That action has since been rescinded, and the negro Masons of Washington are now acting along Inde pendent lines. . . While Mr. Hawkins is here he will insti tute a nest of the Fraternal Order of Hawks. This organization had Its birth in Seattle, as a result of the action of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, to admit colored men to membership. Mr. Hawkins was the father of the Hawks, which, as an organization, Is a "hot number." Mr. Hawkins Is a member of both the Republican City Central Committee and the King County Republican Central Com mittee, and has taken a very prominent part' in state politics. He Is accompanied by Judge G. S. Bailey, one of the leading colered men of Washington, and J. P. Ball. Judge Bailey was formerly Justice tlon that he draw up suitable resolutions covering the matter. In her letter Miss Barlow stated tjiat she had graduated out of the ninth grade at the Falling School 30 teachers, 18 of whom are now teaching In the schools of Portland. Tho Peninsula Sub-Board of Trade asked permission to meet In the old Mult nomah School building, but their request was denied. INAUGURATION OP SEASIDE SERVICE. Saturday, June 29, the O. R. & X.
