The executive committee of the Oregon State Conference of Charities and Correc tion met yesterday afternoon in the par lors of the City Board of Charities, when there were present: W. T. Gardner, Thomas N. Strong.'Dr. Stephen S. "Wise, Dr. T. L. Eliot, Mrs. L. W. Sltton and Mrs. Ernest Brpss. Mr. Thomas N. Strong, who was ap pointed as a committee of one to draft a constitution and by-laws, made his report, i which was adopted. It starts with a statement of the objects of a conference of charities and correction, which are to afford an opportunity for those en gaged in charitable and reform work to confer respecting their methods, princi ples of administration and results accom plished; to diffuse reliable Information re specting charitable and correctional work, and encourage co-operation In humani tarian efforts, with, the aim of further improving the system of charity and cor rection In the State of Oregon. With this end In view, an annual State Con ference -will be held at a time and place to be agreed upon at the preceding annual session, at which addresses shall be made, papers read, discussions carried on, and general business transacted In accordance with the by-laws of the Conference. The Conference shall not, however, formulate any platform nor adopt reso lutions or memorials having a like effect. It further states that the qualifications for membership of the Conference are: All who have an active Interest in the public or the private charitable or cor rectional work In the State of Oregon are Invited to enroll themselves as members of the Conference. No other tests of membership shall be applied, and no" membership fee charged, the expanses of the Conference being met by voluntary contributions. The constitution then goes on to provide for the officers of the Conference and standing committees. A short discussion ensued on the adoption of the constitution as to -whether a conference should be called, "A Northwest Conference," or "An Oregon State Conference," but the committee decided to call It the latter as it was felt that the name of the state would be an adyanage and that It would be better to confine the membership within Its limits. The comnjlttce on programme reported progress and -read communications from different Interested parties pledging aid. A letter -was also read from Governor Geer, in which he has promised to ap point delegates from the several slate In stitutions to attend the conventloi. He also hoped to be there In person. The members of the committee expressed thmselves of the opinion that the Govern or would probably attend, as it is the practice all over the United States, for the chief executive to attend these con ferences. A letter -was read from Miss Anita Whitney, secretary of the Associat ed Charities of Oakland, California, who Informed the committee that California would hold a conference of charities and correction in San Francisco from Febru ary 14 to 17, and that Mrs. Falconer, the chief children's probation officer. of,Chl cago. and Dr. S. G. Smith, of St. Paul, president of the State Board of Charities and Correction, of Minnesota, would also attend and address the Conference. Dr. Smith Is well known in charitable and correctional work. He made the open ing speech at the last National Confer ence of Charities and Correction held at Washington, D. C, and on that evening the Foundry Methodist Church -was crowded to overflowing. . Dr. Smith is also known In Portland, and a- few years ago addressed an annual meeting called by the City Board of Charities at the Marquam Grand. The committee on hall reported that the only available place of meeting was some church. Several were spoken of, but It was finally decided that the First Bap tist Church "would "be the most suitable. It was then unanimously decided to hold a two days' session and to devote one session to state institutions, at which L meeting Dr. Williamson, of the Oregon State Insane Aslyum, will be asked to make a short address on the work among the insane, and Superintendent tee, of the Oregon State Penitentiary, -will also be asked for a short paper on "Modern Prisons." Ex-Governor and Mrs. Moody will be invited and many other prominent speakers, as It will bo the endeavor of the committee to make the work of the Conference of great benefit to the entire state. f The New Year's Oregonlan.

In "The Dromonoes," at the Fredericks burg this week, the London Gaiety Girls Introduce a startling feature. As a re sult the house Is crowded, and the crowd waits for the climax, which appears about 10:30 P. M. No bookings ever made by the Fredericksburg management have proved such drawing-cards as those on hand now. The Gaiety Girls are gay and the Malvern Brothers, in their up-to-date acrobatic feats, cannot be sur passed anywhere. All in all, the Fred ericksburg is at Its best, and that Is saying much for the best free show In America.

Her Little Home Is Taken Oat of the "Way to Make Room for Sapple'a Banding-. Preparations are being-made to move the two-story building- that stood on the corner of East Second and East Morri son streets on to the foundation In Sup pie's shipyard. At the foot of Belmont street Mrs. Whiting's house still obstruct ed the way, and yesterday while she was absent the housemovers moved it back about 15 feet so as to have Toom for the large building. It was found that they could not get the large structure on to the foundation, while her house remained. It was moved back, but not out of the street. The men worked with a little nervous haste so tbey could get through the Job before Mrs. Whiting should return, fdr they were not sure what would happen when she returned. Mr. Supple o'ffered her $20 for the house, but she was advised by Governor Pennoyer that she should have $250. It is Mr. Supple's intentions to clear Belmont street between East Water and the river so that It may be used by the general public The large building will stand on the south side of Belmont and face East Water street. He will move everything he has In the street, thus giv ing access to the Tlver. Belmont street will then be the only street for many blocks open to the river which may be used by the public A roadway will be built from East Wrater street on an easy grade to the low ground. WANT BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES. Brooklyn Sab-Board Asks for Addi tion Movement to Clenn Up. At a well-attended meeting of the Brooklyn Sub-Board of Trade, held last night In the hall on Powell street, the matter of securing bettor school facilities and also cleaning up that portion of the city, were considered. Attention was called to the overcrowded condition of the Brooklyn schoolhouse. In the dis cussion it was remarked that already ) pupils were compelled to recite out In the hallway, and by th February term there would be a considerable Increase :n attendance. It was decided to ask the taxpayers' meeting to vote a tax sufficient to provide more rooms to the Brooklyn building. Waldemar Seton was elected to represent the community at the meet ing, and an effort will be made to have a large delegation of citizens present. The following resolutions were then passed, bearing on the cleaning up of the community and the American Civic Im provement League: "Whereas, A considerable portion of the East Side is disfigured by unsightly piles of rubbish of every description, rotten sidewalk board, tin cans, 'Aire and scraps, and In many places the ravines are dumping places for vegetables and bousehold'refuse; and Whereas, The Mayor has declared In his re cent message that there Is great need of a general cleaning up of the city by the removal and destruction of all perishable rubbish; there fore, be It Resolved, That it Is the sense- of this Sub Board of Trade that a concerted effort should be made In every community to carry out the suggestions of the Mayor; that an appeal should be made to the school children to take part In this movement In that they may be encouraged In habits of order and thrift; and be It further Resolved, That we Indorse the purposes of the American Civil Improvement League, which It Is proposed to organize In Portland In ttio near future, so that 'our city should become noted for cleanliness and good order; and bo It further Resolved, That wa make a special appeal to that part of the East Side south of Division street to engage. In a general cleaning up of rubbish, and to this end that a strong commit tee bo appointed to. ask property-owners and residents to engage In this work, and also to visit the Brooklyn and Clinton Kelly Schools and ask the pupils to aid In this work, so that this district shall be thoroughly and system atically cleared up. - A committee was appointed to visit the Brooklyn and Clinton Kelly schools, and ask the pupils and teachers to co-operate In the cleaning up and beautifying of the neighborhood. FOR CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS. President Donangh, of Scllwood Snb Board, Favor Movement. D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sell wood Sub-Board of Trade, says that he heartily approves the purposes of the American Civic Improvement League. To some extent that organization has in op eration a movement to clear up and clean up all that portion of the city. Along this line much has been accomplished. "We are going to do more," said Mr. Donaugh yesterday, "and I think that now Is the time for starting In everywhere. All should help. We are going to press the matter up here the best we can. It takes time to get people to appreciate the bene fits from a clean neighborhood, but they are coming to It. We are In sympathy with the purposes of the American Civil Improvement League I think, however, that each neighborhood -will have to look out for Itself, perhaps through local or ganizations. At present nothing Is more important than to get rid of the unsightly rubbish. It -will cost little or nothing to do this if all put their shoulders to the wheel and do a little. Let every resi dent make It a point to clean, up his own premises and some of the surroundings, and It will not be very long before a vast Improvement will bo made. The rea son that now is the time is that It Is safer to burn up rubbish than In the Summer when there is danger." MOUNT TABOR TEACHERS IN LINE. They Too Ask for Increase of Sal aries From District! At a meeting of .the Board of Educa tion of the Mount Tabor School District, No. 5, held Monday evening In the main building on West avenue, a communica tion was received from the teachers of the district asking that their salaries be re adjusted so as to correspond to some ex tent with those paid ia 'the city. The maximum salary paid to the teachers is $50. No specific demand was made, and 10 per cent increase was named. All that was left to the directors and the taxpayers of the district. No action was taken on the communication, but the mat ter will be laid before .the annual meet ing of the taxpayers, who wUl decide whether the request will be granted or not. Any Increase would probably not apply this year. The total of salaries for one month for all the teachers and that of the janitor is $680. It was decided at this meeting that the next annual meeting should be held in themaln building "on Monday evening, January 27. Clerk Field has begun prep arations for the annual report. As far as ho has gone it is shown that the finan cial condition of the district is better than at any time for a number of years.

Mrs. Sltton, president of, the board of directors, presided. AH bills for the past month were audited and ordered paid. The monthly expense foots up to about $200. Great economy Is exercised In the management of affairs. In the Home there are 26 children, which is a larger number than has been in the Institution at one time for several years. On hand are applications for others. The board has not yet been able to do anything toward the erection, of a hos pital, which Is- greatly needed. It -would cost $500. but the expenses of the lnstttu. tlon absorb all the Income, leaving noth ing for the "hospital building? It is hoped' Uuit some benevolent person will see the PIANOS AND ORGANS The very best American pianos and organs are manufactured in the cities of Boston, New York and Chicago.

Edward Close, one of the proprietors of a farm and hog ranch on the Base Line road, emphatically denies the state ment made by a farmer of that vicinity, to the effect that 50 hogs which recently died on Mr. Close's ranch were victims of hog cholera. He says that no one has been at his place to examine the dead hogs except his neighbor, William Reames, who Is convinced that they were poisoned. Mr. Close says he examined the stomachs of some 25 of the hogs, and found tarred paper In them. This is a sure poison for hogs, and one that they will eat, but In this case some kind of ground grain was put on the paper, to make the hogs cat It more readily. The hogs did not exhibit any symptoms of cholera, and after they were poisoned, lingered for three to four weeks before dying. Mr. Close says that some of the people In the section where his ranch is appear to want to drivo him and his partners away. They were told that It was no place for a hog ranch there, and a horse was stolen from them and after ward a number of young pigs. He saya they have the place leased for three years and that they have used their neighbors right, and can sec no reason for any one wishing to Injure them. Boalcvard In Graveled.

We do many other things that other! dealers have to pay large salaries ior. We keep our expenses down to a mini mum, and consequently can sell at a smaller profit than can any other dealer in Portland. We carry only high-grade pianos, such as Steinway & Sons, Emerson. Estey, A. B. Chase. Richmond & Starr, and we can sell you one for small payments, from $6.00 up. Why not get one of these good standard makes, when you can buy them, for as little br less money than you would have to pay elsewhere for "pianos of ob scure manufacture? . Why take chances? It will pay you to see us and get our prices. SOULE BROS. PIANO CO. 326 Washington St. Near Sixth. Fine piano tuning.
