THE MOBNIKG OREGON AN, FRIDAY,' JUXE' 13, 1902.
DID HE SEND LETTER?
EDWARD I. FJIEXCII CHARGED
WITH VIOLATING U. S. LAW.
MayviUe Farmer Is on Trial for
Alleged Offense in Sending
Threatening Epistle.
Edward I. French, Indicted for mailing
an obscene letter at Mayvlllc on Septem
ber 30. 1900, 'addressed to J. B. Fltzwater,
Condon, was placed on trial before a Jury
in the United States District Court yes
terday. French is a. farmer at Mayvllle,
and appears to be a hard-working man.
He has a wife and children, who were
present with him in court. He strenuous
ly denies the charge, and the Government
on the other hand expects to prove his
guilt, and that he attempted to Injure
the reputation of an innocent girl, and
tried to extort money for silence.
For somo reason the trial has been much
delayed. French had a preliminary ex
amination before a United States Com
missioner, and he was released on a bond
of $1500 for his appearance. He was al
lowed, as a matter of convenience, to fur
nish a bond by making over his real estate
in trust to a relative, who then deeded
the property in trust to the United States
District Attorney, John H. Hall.
The first witness called was Mrs. Ella
Angel, the Postmaster at Mayvllle. She
testified how a watch had been kept to
catch the person who had been com
plained of as mailing certain letters
through the office. Several letters had
been mailed to the Fltzwater family at
Condon. Other people in the neighbor
hood had received anonymous threaten
ing letters, which vstated that alleged
knowledge of a compromising nature
would be revealed unless money was sent
to a certain place to be received by the
writer of the letters. The letters to the
Fitzwaters were mailed in July, August
and September, 1900. A place was desig
nated for $1000 to be placed, and the
writer promised to keep silent. The slan
der that was threatened was against a
daughter of the parties.
The deposition of Mrs. Fltzwater was
admitted In evidence by Judge Bellinger,
after a strong fight to keep it out bad
been made bj- Waldemar Seton, attorney
for the defense. The deposition was taken
because Mrs. Fltzwater was sick and It
was anticipated that ehe would not be
able to attend as a witness. She has
since died. The deposition states that
Mrs. Fltzwater knew who the letter was
from, and fihe once visited the spot
where the $1000 was asked to be placed.
The place of concealment was to have
been in a tin can in a pile of rocks near
a road. One of the letters mailed after
the first demand was made for money
states "the parties will not stand any
monkey business. If you don't ".send the
money we will print this poem and scat
ter them all over the country. It will do
you no good to catch one of us, for there
are others who will do the work unless
you send the money."
The defendant alleges that he does not
know anything about the letters, but the
Postmaster asserts that she watched
French from the back part of the office
and kept record of letters being mailed
during a certain time, and her Judgment
was that the unlawful letter was dropped
by French.
The trial will be resumed today.
Motion In Cnrr Divorce Salt.
In the divorce suit of Mabel Carr against
Robert Carr, recently dismissed by Judge
Sears, Attorney J. M. Long and Alex
Sweek for Mrs. Carr yesterday filed a mo.
tlon for a rehearing. Carr recently filed
suit against his wife for a divorce, and
her attorneys evidently desire to head the
new case off and keep the old one going.
Appegj in Timber Land Suit.
In the timber land suit of Anthony
Jseppach against the Oregon & California
Railroad Company, Jn whicty Neppach ob
tained a Judgment in the State Circuit
Court for $47,000, the defendant yester
day filed notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court by W. D. Fenton, Its attorney.
Court Notes.
Jose Moreno Lacalli was admitted to
practice yesterday in the United States
Courts.
The suit of Ole Ostad against the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining Company
for $25,000 damages, on account of per
sonal injuries, was set for trial in the
Federal Court yesterday. By stipulation
of the attorneys it was continued.
PRIZES WON BY CADETS.
Closing: Exercises Held at Bishop
Scott Academy.
The Bishop Scott Academy has just
closed Its 32d year, and the commencement
exercises were held yesterday morning. A
number of prizes were awarded as fol
lows: The Bishop's prize for deportment and
scholarship R. S. Campbell, son of Ben
Campbell.
The Trustees' prize for manual training
George A. Lewis, son of J. A. Lewis,
president of Aberdeen State Bank.
The Principal's prize for English Ma
rlon W. Fisk, son of Major FIsk, of De
troit. The Officers' gold medal Captain Philip
Carroll, of Grand RapMs, Mich.
Competitive drill, silver medal Cadet
Eugene Rockey. son of Dr. A. E. Rockey.
At 8 A. M. a competitive drill was given
which, consisted of inspection of arms and
clothing and a drill in manual. Major C.
E. McDonell acted aa Judge, and spoke
highly of the showing made. Tho first
prize was awarded to Eugene Rockey, and
second to Robert Ramsdell.
At 10 A. M. the regular commencement
exercises were held in the chapel. They
were opened by a short devotional service,
after which the annual report of the
principal, A. C. Newlll, was given. He
said in part:
"Just nine months ago in this chapel,
the Bishop Scott Academy entered on a
new epoch of its existence. With 14 boys
not in "uniform we had our opening exer
cises. I am pleased to be able to say that
more than double that number have been
enrolled during the school year.
"The history of the school this year has
been full of many obstacles, all of which
I believe have been successfully over
come. We hope that the combined efforts
of the school board, the -faculty and the
cadets will tend to promote even better
results next year. The prospects for next
year are very bright. I must say that
many Inquiries have been made concern
ing the school, and that as far as we can
reasonably Judge the attendance next year
will be what it should be, and all that
can be desired. The scholarship of the
school has advanced rapidly. The boys
have paid good attention to their work
and have, kept right in line by the per
sistent efforts of the teachers. Special
attention has been paid to the military
feature of the school. Sufficient evidence
of the good work that has been done is
best illustrated by the improvement In
the deportment, bearing and carriage of
the cadets.
Manual training has been given with
good results."
The prize oration by Lieutenant Marlon
W. Fisk was an excellent production, and
was well delivered. It was based upon
the lines from Shakespeare:
The fault, dear Brutus, Is not In our stars,
But in ourselves that we are underlings.
The position was taken that a man's
career depends upon his own efforts, and
not upon luck. And examples drawn from
history to show that "he who works ad
vances, but the one who shirks remains
stationary."
Rev. M. Hammond, in hisaddress, com
plimented the school upon Its progress,
and spoke at length upon the value of
such a school as the Bishop Scott Acad
emy. "The public schools have reached a high
standard, and are. doing a grand work,"
said he, "but there is still a place for
such a school as this, and it should have
the hearty support of the church
throughout the state." He spoke of the
value of military training, and gave ex
amples of B. S. A. graduates "who earned
gratitude from their country in the Phil
ippine war as a result of their early
training lit military lines.
The diplomas, prizes and medals were
presented by the Right Rev. B. W. Mor
ris, who gave some words of valuable ad
vice to the clas3.
He -said the bright record made by the
academy during the year Just closed has
been largely due to the efforts of its
principal, A. C. Xewlll.
LECTURE BY MR. AMES.
Tells Bostoniana Abont Monnt Hood
nnd the Mniamns,
C. H. Ames, secretary of the publishing
firm of D. C. Heath & Co., Boston, Mass.,
has Just delivered a lecture on Mount
Hood and the Mazamas before the Appa
lachian Mountain Club, in the Institute
of Technology, Boston. The lecture was
illustrated by a number of lantern slides
made from photographs furnished him by
Mazamas living in Portland, and by Henry
Gannclt, chief geographer of the United
States, Washington, D. C. The views
came out well, and were extremely well
received, the pictures as well as Mr.
Ames' reference to the Mazamas bringing
spontaneous applause from the Appalach
ian Club, which had turned out In force
for the occasion. Mr. Ames Is a very
happy speaker, as was proved last Sum
mer by his delightful and entertaining
campfire talks on Mount Hood, his genial
personality winning him many friends,
who would be glad to have an opportunity
of shaking hands with him on Mount Ad
ams this year.
He writes: "I did my best to urge any
and all member of the Appalachian Club
to join the Mazamas In this Summers
or any other Summer's outing when pos
sible. There waa much enthusiasm for
your great snow peaks, and good-natured
envy of you in your possession of them
-n your near vicinity. If you could spare
us even one of those fine cones It would
be a very great boon to us, though we
are not ashamed of our less conspicuous
and ambitious White Mountains and
Green Mountains in New England, and
get a great deal of enjoyment out of them.
Truth to tell, many of the Appalachians
wander far afield every season, and en
joy other regions as well.
"I cannot be too grateful to members
of the Mazamas for present and past kind
ness. Come now and make some outings
with us, and we will do our best to make
It pleasant for you. Success to the Ma
zamas on the Mount Adams expedition.
I would give almost anything to Join you,
but there seems no hope for it this year."
Photographs of Mount Hood and the
Mazamas were on exhibition at v the rooms
of the Appalachian Club from May 26 to
May 21,
BANKERS INVITED HERE.
National Association "Will Be Asked
to Meet in Portland In 1005.
At a meeting of members of the Port
land Clearlng-House Association yester
day afternoon, it was decided after an in
formal discussion that the association will
Invite the American Bankers' Association
to hold Its 1903 session In this city. This
project was taken up at the suggestion of
the Chamber of Commerce, and it Is ex
pected that all the Industrial and busi
ness associations in the city will lend as
sistance In the effort to induce the Amer
ican Bankers' Association to meet here
during the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
No formal action was taken yesterday,
but an invitation will be drafted and at
a foibsequent meeting, which will be held
In a few days, the Clearlng-House Associ
ation will extend a formal invitation.
There is also a project on foot to or
ganize a state bankers' association, such
as exists in many other states. The
bankers of Oregon have no organization
through which they can speak as a unit.
The invitation to the National associa
tion will be given in the first Instance
through the Portland Clearlng-House As
sociation, and will later be followed by
an Invitation from the state association,
should one be organized.
Bankers are among the most Influential
men in the business affairs of their com
munities. Their advice regarding Invest
ments carries great weight with men who
have idle capital. Should the leading
bankers of the United States come to Ore
gon and learn by observation the extent
and variety of our resources the effect
could not be otherwise than beneficial to
the development of this state.
It Is understood that both Seattle and
Tacoma have Invited the American Bank
ers' Association to meet in those cities
next year.

CHINESE HONOR DEAD
SAKE EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
IX THEIR CEMETERY.
Fnneral House Built to-Burn Belong
ings of the Departed Altar
for Funeral Rites.
The extensive improvements to the
Chinese part of Lone Fir cemetery are
nearing completion. A complete change
has been made in the appearance of this
quarter of the cemetery. There are near
ly three acres in the Chinese ground in
the southwest corner of Lone Fir. It was
all spaded up and leveled. Cedar hedge
has been set around three sides, while
the east side is inclosed with a high board
fence. Entrance Is through a door in this
fence.
The principal improvement is in the furnace-house
and concrete court and altar.
A house stands on the northeast corner,
and opening southward Is a covered court,
floored with concrete. Alongside is what
seems to.be a concrete altar, with the
words, "In Mcmoriam; Chinese Cem
etery." There are also some Chinese
characters. The construction and shape
of the altar are peculiar. On cither side
are concrete furnaces. These are used to
consume smaller articles, while the larger
furnace in the house will be used for
burning up the large articles. All the
personal belongings of the dead China
men are burned at the time of his Inter
ment. The ground is thickly studded with the
headboards of graves and some marble
headstones. It would seem that no room
was left for any more burials, but a great
many graves. It is said, are not occupied,
the bones having been sent back to China.
Several years pgo the bones of about
1000 Chinamen were shipped to China to
be burled. It is the ambition of every
Chinaman to know that somo day his
bones will be shipped to his native land.
So there is room for.many hundreds more
of the dead.
When the hedge surrounding the grounds
shall have grown up, funerals will be held
without being seen by any one from tho
outside. The high fence on the east side
prevents view from that direction, and
will shut off entirely the hordes of young
hoodlums who, In the past, have made
Chinese funerals the scenes of boisterous
conduct, much to the disgust of the neigh
borhood and the annoyance of the China
men themselves. There will be no admis
sions to the grounds on occasion of
funerals, except by special permit, and
the rites peculiar to t,hese people can be
conducted without Interruption. This Is
the one object sought by the Chinese of
Portland. The cost of the Improvements
Will be between $1000 and $2000, and will be
met by the Chinese societies of Portland.
RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Map of South Monnt Tabor District
Prepared nnd Sent to Washington.
The second map of the rural free mall
district In precinct No. 60, South Mount
Tabor, was sent yesterday evening to Sen
ator Mitchell at Washington, D. C, by Al
bert Nlblln. The first map which was
sent to the Senator with the petition was
lost and could not be recovered. Mr. Nlb
lln, who started the movement for rural
delivery in that district, at once began on
the new map. It was prepared in the of
fice of County Surveyor Hurlburt, and Is
a complete showing of all the roads and
public buildings In the territory. Mr.
Niblln went over the grounds and spent
much time In getting up the petition and
the map.
Lents postofflce Is made the distributing
center for the reason that It Is the end
of the Mount Scott branch of the Port
land City & Oregon Railway Company,
and the mall can be sent out there at an
early hour In the morning. Citizens In
the territory can get their mall every
day at an early hour when the service Is
established.
There are 315 voters In the district. In
getting up the petition. Mr. Nlblln only
took the signatures of the heads of fam
ilies. Owing to the favorable conditions
there Is hardly a doubt but the Postofflce
Department will grant the request for
rural delivery, and put It Into operation
after the usual Inspection has been made.
TO CLEAX OUT RESERVOIR.
One at Lower Mount Tabor Will Be
Swept The Trout Will Go Out.
Preparations are being made for clean
ing out the Lower Mount Tabor reservoir.
The work will be done next week. It has
not been cleaned for several years. All
the water will be let out and then the
bottom will be swept clean with brooms.
There Is some sediment and leaves gath
ered on the bottom, but the water In the
reservoir Is as clear as crystal, and the
bottom can easily be seen.
In the reservoir there are from 500 to
1000 fine mountain trout, now grown very
large, which came through the Bull Run
main when very tiny fish. Some of these
trout weigh several pounds. All efforts
to catch them with hook and line have
failed. All these trout will go out, when
the water Is turned-Into the waste-pipe
that empties In the Sunnyslde sewer, to
find their way to the Willamette River.
They might be caught by placing a screen
over the mouth of the waste-pipe, but,
owing to the fact that the screen would
hold the leaves, this will not be done.
After this bunch of trout goes out of the
reservoir, it will be some time before
others gather there again, but they will
no doubt do so In a year or so.
WOODSTOCK SCHOOL CLOSING.
Graduating Class "Will Be Addressed

pected that there will be any change In
the corp3 of teachers.
Board of Trade Building.
Bids for the Albina N Board of Trade
building, on Mississippi avenue and Shav
er streets, were opened at a meeting of
the directors Wednesday evening, but It
was decided not to make them public at
present. M. E. Thompson, president of
the board of directors, said yesterday that
committees had been appointed to push
the sale of stock In the neighborhood.
The cost of the building will be about
$3500, and it was considered advisable to
dispose of more stock before letting the
contract. Excavations for the basement
have been completed. It Is expected that
enough stock will be disposed of In a
short time so that the directors will feel
safo in letting the contract for the erec
tion of the building. It Is in the nature
of a public enterprise.
Improvement Costing? $12,000.
Street Improvements and grading In the
Hocue-Catlin tract, between Union, Van
couver and Alblna, are about completed,
About 50,000 cubic yards of dirt were
moved. ' All the streets have been graded
and sidewalks laid. Water and gas mains
are to be laid on all the streets. The cost
of the Improvements Is $12,000. Grading
on Morris street, between Williams and
Union avenues, has been started. This Is
an important improvement.
East Side Tiotes.
The school-desk factory, on East Mor
rison, between East Seventh and East
Eighth streets, returned operations yes
terday, after several months' suspension.
Machine shops will be erected on the
corner of East Eighth and Belmont
streets for J. E. Martin, who formerly
occupied the old oar-factory building on
East Clay and East Water streets.
Captain Buchanan's building, at 354 East
Oak street, near East Third, has been
leased for five years, to be used as a
laundry. Machinery has already been
moved Into the building.
Bids have been received for the painting
of tho Mississippi-avenue Congregational
Church. The contract for thje. Job will
soon be let. Money for the work Is on
hand.
The steamer City of Chester, under re
pair at Supple's boat-yard, has been
launched. The repairs to the cabin will
soon be completed. Captain Kellogg's
boat will then be ready for service.
Eugene Ferguson, superintendent of
the Street-Cleaning Department, has gone
to St. Martin's Springs, in 'the Cascades,
to recuperate. He expects to be absent
about 10 days.
THE NASHVILLE FAIR.
(Continued from First Page.)
of states of which Tennessee Is the cen
ter. Mr. Lewis being himself an engineer
and accustomed to the handling of great
enterprises, took charge of the expendi
tures and made the relatively limited
money available accomplish wonderful
results.
The financial foundation of the expo
sition was a subscribed fund of J205.C0O,
of which approximately $10,000 became
delinquent. The amount actually collect
ed was $166,400 40. The State of Tennes
see gave J50.000, the County of Davidson
$50,000 and the Nashville municipality
$100,000. The subscription of the local
rallrqads aggregated nearly $107,000. In
all, the managers of the filr had Just
a little less than JEOO.OOO with which to
work, and upon this basis their opera
tions were begun. ,
For grounds and buildings the sum of
$520,390 was expended. The buildings
were:
Agriculture $24,GOO
Children 5,300
History 7.200
Hygiene and education 12,400
Minerals 21.600
Transportation 16,700

Power-house 2,100
Mexican building 1,100
The buildings constructed under this
general scheme were of a very superior
kind, while the expense was less than
that of any other exposition of equal
pretensions. And there Is an interesting
bit of history behind this achievement.
The common way with expositions Is to
employ an architect, who plans the expo
sition as a whole, and the greater num
ber. If not all the buildings, acting later
as the superintendent of construction.
Thoy took another course at Nashville.
Prizes were offered for designs for all
the principal buildings, and after the
awards were made the Fair Association
took the work of construction upon It
self. Major Lewis, the director-general,
1 practical man accustomed to con
tracting on a large scale, acted as su
perintendent, and by his close manage
ment saved certainly not less than $100,
000 on construction account. A very
notable feature of the 'scheme was the
art building, the design for which was
borrowed from the Greek Parthenon.
The reproduction was perfect and, as the
building stands today, to mark the site
of the exposition city. It is, I think,
without question, the most effective and
tmposlng structure on American soil.
The work of promoting the Nashville
Exposition was begun actively about 18
months before the gates were opened, and
it was greatly aided by the fact that the
Atlanta Exposition was still In progress.
A good many exhibitors were Induced
without difficulty to move their stuff over
to Nashville and to hold It in storage
during the time intervening between the
two fairs. This advantage was found to
be a considerable one when the organiza
tion of the Midway attraction came to be
made. It helped, too. In finding men to
take the concessions. Every business in
terest was successful at Atlanta, and those
who had found profit there were naturally
eager to enter into arrangements at Nash
ville. I mention this incidental matter
because it has a bearing upon coming
events In which Portland has an Interest.
Before leaving home I heard many persons
lament the postponement of the St. Louis
Fair to 1904 upon the presumption that It
would bring It "too close" to our own fair
in 1905. I am convinced that this pre
sumption is a mistaken one; that the
change in date wIlL.be not a disadvantage
to us, but, on the other, hand, n very great
benefit. With reasonable energy on the
part of the Portland management we can
hardly fall to secure many attractions
which would hardly be organized for our
fair alone. There are other possible ad
vantages, too, of a large sort, which need
not be named at this time, but which .will
fall Into their right place In further dis
cussions. Very early In the work at Nashville the
excellent rule was established that no per
son related In any way to the association
or to the administration could have any
interest in any concession or other busi
ness venture in connection with the fair.
By this means a fruitful source of disor
ganization and scandal was avoided, and
the revenues of the exposition appreciably
Increased.
Another rule forbade any officer of the
fair association from entering the grounds
during the exposition period excepting
upon payment of the customary fee. Not
even the president or the director-general
were excepted from the operation of this
rule. The Idea was to discourage the com
plimentary Idea and to hold down the free
list,' and It worked well. To offset this
a 100-entry ticket was sold at the very low
price of $10, the common price of entrance
being 59 cents, as at all other expositions.
The idea back of this cheap ticket was
that It would assure a, great attendance
of townspeople, and in the opinion of the
management It worked well. Of course, a
ticket providing for 100 visits to the fair
was valueless excepting to persons living
j- In Nashville; and It Is probable that the
i greater number of those who bought this
Our Road Wagons
Are sure to please, for they are so light and comfortable and char
acterized by those Stadebaker qualities strength, style, durability.

cheap form of ticket thus gave to the en
terprise a larger support and certainly a
vastly more frequent personal attendance
than If no concession in price had been
made. Again, the sale of these tlcket3
brought Into the treasury of the associa
tion at the very beginning of the fair at
a time when even small sums were very
welcome a very handsome aggregate of
ready money. The policy Is not. I think,
on the whole, a sound one, but It suited
the circumstances here and admirably
served an Immediate purpose. A. H.

A Public Evil.
SALEM. June,10.-To the Editor.)-The
newspapers are the medium through
which we call attention to abuses that
creep Into the administration of public
affairs, and now that the election Is over
I would like to call your attention to
some things here in Salem. I have ref
erence to the throwing open of the state
institutions to visitors, and especially to
these excursions. This Is the third Sun
day thit we have had an excursion here,
several thousand people having come here
on tho trains from different points.
The principal objection to visitors at
the penitentiary Is the danger of having
things smuggled Into the prisoners. How
ever, It Is about the Insane asylum that I
wish to make my strongest protest. I
think it Is an outrage and a shame that
the patients at that institution are com
pelled to sit or stand In line for three or
four hours to be inspected by a wild and
pleasure-seeking- crowd, many of them
half 'drunk, and be compelled to hear all
kinds of remarks on their appearance
and actions. These 'people were not sent
here to be put on exhibition, and if it
Is done It would be well to charge an ad
mission fee and make something out of It.
The convalescent patients are humili
ated and their feelings hurt, the more vio
lent are excited, many rendered frantic
by the crowd and noise, and are certain
ly Injured in health. As the institution
was built for them I think they are enti
tled to sonnr consideration. Of course
Silem having these attractions to offer
secures these excursions and makes some
money out of them, but I think that If
public attention Is called to. this matter
that there are humane and Christian peo
ple enough In Salem to call a halt, even
If the saloons, restaurants and street
cars do not make so much money. An
Institution of this kind Is certainly the
last place that I would want to visit If
I was on pleasure bent. Any one who
can go through that building without a
feeling of pity and sorrow for the poor,
unfortunate creatures confined there Is
certainly entirely devoid of all the finer
feelings that are supposed to animate the
breasts of all true men and women.
