BIS SCAXV WORKS OP CHAHITY. With st Kree Hand Mr. Corbett Aided Every Deserving; Institution. Mr. Corbett devoted a large part of his Income to works of charity. There Jo prob ably no object or Institution of charity In the city which has not received benefits from Mr. Corbett. When any public or charitable en tern rise has been started he has generally headed the list of donators. Undoubtedly Mr. Corbett was the most generous man with his money who ever lived In Portland. As the possessor of a large fortune he understood fully his duty to the community in using his for tune for the public Interest. Among the most prominent Institutions which are beneficiaries of his bounty are: Portland Academy, the site of which, valued at (40,00 was donated by him; Pacific University, Portland XJbrary. Port land Art Association. First Presbyterian Church. T. M. C. A.. Boys" and Girls" Aid Society. City Board of Charities, Homeop athic Hospital and many other Institu tions. He made it a practice to give money to every newly established Presby terian church in the Northwest. Much money has undobtedly been be queathed to public institutions in Mr. Cor betfs will. TO PAY THEIR LAST RESPECTS. Lewis and Claris Directors and State Commission to Attend Funeral. The directors and the state commission ers of the Lewis and Clark Fair will at tend the funeral. The two bodies met yesterday afternoon and agreed upon this procedure. A committee was named by B. W. Scott, vice-president if the Expo sition, to draw up suitable resolutions in memory of Mr. Corbett. The -committee is composed of Mr. Scott. TV. J3. Fenton, W. D. Wheelwright. P. L. "Willis, W. E. Thomas and 7. C Flanders. Any mem ber of the board or the commission is at the disposal of tho family of Mr. Corbett for any service required. Mr. Scott, in calling to order the joint meeting of the board and commission, spoke as follows: - "It Is a pad occasion that calls us to gether. Tou know the occasion, an oc casion of sorrow and regret. Our loss is great. It is fit that we. the board of directors of the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial, should meet here and express our sense of the great loss we have suffered In the death of President Corbett a loes that not only gseatly affects this particu lar project that we have In view, to which we are devoted, and which we must pur sue, but a loss that will be felt by all classes of our business and other Inter ests In this city and state. "This board of directors naturally must take some part in the obsequies, adding our part towards testifying our apprecia tion of the place that. Mr. Corbett has held among us, of the place that he has held In this great undertaking of ours, of which he. In fact, was the head. With out bint, as we all know, it would not have been started. "I am not advised when the funeral services will be held or when the burial will take place. It Is proper, however, that we should make such preparations as befits the occasion; that we should ap point a committee of our number to make Inquiry as to what the family and the nearest friends desire or may desire of us In the funeral services. I think that It would be proper to assume that some of our number may be chosen among, the, pallbearers for the occasion. Also, .that a committee be designated to formulate resolutions covering Mr. Cor bett's life and services and our sense of the loss the City of Portland, the State of Oregon and the whole Northwest has suffered In his passing from us. "Any member of this board of directors who may wish to make any suggestion on this subject I shall be glad to hear.. The matter should be the subject of some con. ferenee among us. so that what we do may be done decently and In order. "I nted say no more. All I would say U In the hearts and on the Hps of every one among us." Directors present were: H. W. Scott, Adolphe Wolfe, Paul "Wesslnger. P. L. Willis. "W. D. Wheelwright. John F. O'Shea. A. L. Mills, Bufus Mallory, W. D. Fenton, L N. Flelschner. F. Dresser, A. D. Devers, Samuel Connell and George W. Bates. Members present of the State Commis sion were: Dr. Dav Raffety. J. C Flanders, W. E. Thomas and Frank Williams. SOIUtOW AT SALEM. Prominent Men Give Expression of Grief. SALEM. Or-. March 3L Special.) News of the death of H. W. Corbett this morning came as a great shock to the people of Salem. Expressions of sorrow and deep regret were heard on every hand and all who have known of the life and work of Mr. Corbett were warm In th.elr praise of his public-spirited acts. He was recognized here as a man whose great business capacity did not consist of an ability to build his own fortunes upon the wrecks of others, but rather a man who was always ready to aid others In their enterprises and who achieved his own success wfclle so doing. His generos ity Is everywhere a subject of commen--rone datlon. Among the expressions heard to day were the following: Governor George E. Chamberlain Hon. H. W. Corbett was a magnificent exam ple of sturdy American citizenship, and his death Is a great loss to the state. For more than SO years his life has been an open. book, and has proven to the men end women of bis own time as well as to the younger generation what Is pos sible of accomplishment where there Is energy, perseverance and thrift combined with prudence. Intelligence and rugged honejty. In his earlier years he bravely faced the dangers and difficulties of plo- neer life. Commencing with compare- j Nation and air nations to the study of tlvely nothing, he not only accumulated J and participation in the good things to be a magnificent fortune, but forged to the I found here in this vast country In the way forefront In affairs of state, and attained j of opportunities for new people, new en the highest place in the gift of our peo-1 trgy and new capital. Mr. Corbett gave pie by election to the Senate of the t more money and more of enthusiasm and United States, nearly winning the same i energy than any other one roan to the . , i , wK.n I .. ti- i . - .ruse- i i . far-sighted business man. It Is question able If be bad an equal In the State of Oregon. His Judgment was appealed to In times of financial depression which tried mens souls, and whatever enter prise or institution his name was con- nected with at nn iron the confidence I of the people. His loss to Portland can- I through the whole course of the grand not be estimated, particularly at a time scheme. Mr. Corbett was one of the best when as a leading spirit in the Lewis and known men on this Coast In financial dr Clark Exposition all eyes were turned j 'cs. He had amassed a great fortune, but to him for counsel and advice. I have through hard work and conservative man- uuiro wun mm upon uus suDject, ana., speak from personal knowledge when I aay that his whole soul seemed wrapped up In the successful prosecution of this Exposition, for he felt, as he assured me, that It the people of the whole state would give It their united support the enterprise would be successful, and If successful would add greatly to the ma terial wealth and prosperity of the peo ple of Oregon and the Oregon country. Chief Justice F. A. Moore Hon. H W. Corbett witnessed the growth of Port land from a small village to a magnifi cat city and took an active part In even Industry that. In his opinion, tended to promote the commercial importance of the metropolis of this state. Though by his economy and business foresight be amassed a fortune, he was ever the friend of the energetic and. In many In stances, has kept men from bankruptcy and ruin by unostentatious assistance, thereby winning their gratitude and love. He will be missed from the great 'busi ness activities of Oregon, of which he has been a potent factor, but be will be missed most by those whom he has aided In their time of need, and the are le gion whose sorrow for his departure is heartfelt. Supreme Judge C. E. Wolverton In the death of Mr. Corbett the state and the entire Northwest have sustained, ssreat loss. From his early settlement ln-Tort-land be has taken an active and leading part In business affairs, and has been prominent In the political field. It Is In later years, however, that his Influence has been most felt. Ills wonderful activ ity and enterprise and his sound, excel lent Judgment have placed him In the front rank of the ablest financiers of the country. Possessed of these sterling qualities, his sanction of the Lewis and Clark Centennial has been accepted as a potent guaranty of its success, and It Is much to be regretted that the man agement of such an enterprise will be bereft of his advice and counsel. Supreme Judge R. H. Bean The death of H. W. Corbett Is a great loss to the state, for the reason that he was a public-spirited man and a leader In every great movement of Interest in the state and the city in which; he lived. A. Bush, the pioneer banker, who has been closely associated with H. W- Cor bett In many business transactions, was so overcome by the news of the death of his friend that be could not give ex pression to his feelings. A half century ago, as H. W. Corbett walked down the gangplank, on his first arrival In Port land, he looked over the crowd on shore and asked: "Is there a man among you named Bush J" Asahel Bush, then a young printer, responded. "I have letters of Introduction addressed to you," Mr. Corbett said, and the acquaintance then formed grew into a friendship which has become closer and stronger as the years rolled away. Mr. Bush and Mr. Corbett placed the utmost confidence In each other and no opportunity to confer a fa vor was ever missed by either of them. It" was at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Corbett 'that Mr. Bush consented to be come a member of the Lewis and Clark Fair board. Hon. Claud Gatch. cashier In Mr. Bush's bank As a young man now reach ing middle age and in the employ of a .large banking concern. I have had occa sion frequently to meet Senator Cor bett. He was always kindly and con siderate. His financial ability was great ly to be admired. His business methods were always square. John H. Albert, president of the Capi tal National Bank The death of H. W. Corbett is a public calamity, particular ly because of his connection with the Lewis and Clark Fair. His. was in many respects a peculiar character, of which vindlctlvencss was not an element. He was forceful and firm In his convictions, but entertained no malice toward his ene mies or competitors. He wsa a very good man and I am sorry to learn of his death. Henry B. Thlelsen, president of the Greater Salem Commercial Club The death of Mr. Corbett will be deeply felt, not only by. Portland and the State of Ore gon, but by the entire Northwest. He felt as few wealthy men do the duties the possession of wealth Imposed upon him, and was always ready to do his part In any enterprise that promised to ad vance the interests of the city and state of bis adoption. In the financial world his sagacity was recognized and his Judgment valued, and a new enterprise that carried the stamp of his Indorsement was not apt to fall for want of backers. Oregon will long mourn her distinguished citizen. Frank Davey, Representative from Ma rlon County I had no personal acquaint ance with Mr. Corbett. but his public life has been familiar to me for several years. He was a great man in the world of high-grade politics and sound finance: too great and too honest to be successful in the practical politics of the time; so strong in' his personal Integrity that he was easily deceived; so faithful In his friendships, and his confidences that he was an easy victim for designing men. His liberality, his progressive and aggres sive spirit will be sadly missed for several year In the work of advancing the sub stantial Interests of Oregon, While he had lived long past the average allotted span, yet all Oregon will deeply mourn his de parture. State Senator E. M. Crolsan It shocks roe to learn of the sudden death of ex Senator Corbett, when It was only last Friday I was In his office and saw him working at his desk answering a great pile of letters and apparently In his usual health. Tes, we have certainly lost a good, great and generous-hearted man, and the entire Northwest will sadly miss him- He certainly stood the peer of any man In the United States, not only as a financier, but as a public-spirited citi zen. L. L. Pierce, a member of the Legis lature of 1901 In the death of Hon, H. W. Corbett the State of Oregon loses. In my opinion, its most public-spirited citizen, and one whose place will not readily be filled. The City of Portland sustains the loss of a man who has devoted a lifetime to the upbuilding of the city of his adop tion, but the entire state Is no less a loser, as Mr. Corbett really belonged to the commonwealth. He was a broad man. one of the grandest men of the Nation. Tllmon Ford In the passing away of Hon. H. W. Corbett, Oregon has lost one of her most substantial citizens and one whose place will not soon be filled. Mr. Corbett was certainly the greatest finan cier In the entire Northwest, but he shone brightest as a good citizen, a true friend and a public spirited man, and In bis death the people of Oregon will mourn the loss of their greatest public benefactor. The Salem Statesman tomorrow1 morn ing will say: "In the death of Hon. H. W. Corbett. which occurred at his home in Portland yesterday morning, Oregon loses of her foremost and most useful cltl- zens. Mr. Corbett commenced bis career In this state with the beginning of things formative of the greatness which he aided to prepare for and to make. He has been one of -the greatest and most powerful of the state-builders, and In the past few years ho has seen with almost prophetic vision a still grander future for his state and the Northwest, and has bent his potent energies and large resources to the conserving of the forces making for the larger enterprises and prosperity to fol low. He sought to crown his life by bringing to a successful Issue the holding of a World's Fair in order to Invite a land. He entered into the enterprise with all his resources, and his ripe business training and devoted his time to the pro motion of the gigantic undertaking. The great pity Is that Mr. Corbett could not live to see the successful Issue of his la. bora. But his snlrlt will llv inl mm "- t are large numoers of men throughout the Northwest. In every walk of life, who will feel each for him self that he has lost a personal friend In the death of Henry W. Corbett." Flags were placed at half-mast on the Capitol today, and on several business houses. Including tbe Ladd & Bush Bank. Shock to Oregon City Friends. OREGON CTTT. March II. (SpeclaLV The news of the sudden death of ex Unlted States Senator Henry W. Corbett was received in this city early this morn ing, and was a severe shock to bis many friends and acquaintances here. Mr. Cor bett was especially well known here, as Oregon City Is the oldest of the pioneer towns, and he has been to a certain ex tent identified- with Its growth. Expres sions of sorrow and regret over bis death were heard on every hand- A large num ber of Oregon City people will attend the foneraV IS CHARTER VALID? Attorney Claims Certain Sec tions Are Unconstitutional. SAYS IT IS HOT OPERATIVE YET Comprehensive Attack on Document Cnder Which City Government Is Being Conducted, in Salt Fired Restating; Tax Assessment. Attorney Ralnh B- Dunlway in a com plaint tiled In the State Circuit Court In behalf of himself. A. A. Kadderly and a other persons resisting a reassessment for the Improvement of East Burnslde street from East Eighth to East Twenty-eighth street, declares that the new city charter does not become a law until May 23, 1SB. He avers that under section L article 4. of the constitution, as amended, the act Is not necessary for the Immediate preser vation of the public peace, health and safety, and that, therefore 80 days must elapse since the passage of the charter be fore It becomes operative. The defendants In tbe suit filed by Mr. Dunlway are the City of Portland, the members of the Council, Smyth & Howard, contractors; United States Fidelity &. Guaranty Company, and John W. Cox. The Council passed a resolution provid ing for the improvement of East Burnslde street with macadam and crushed rock on December t, lSOLand on February 10. 1902. the contract was let to Smyth & Howard for 8.0,742. It Is alleged by the plaintiff that neither the City Engineer nor any one else caused to be, posted, as provided by the charter, notice of tho work,' in letters of not less than one Inch In lenzth. or anv longer than one-half Inch in length, nor any notice which aet forth the fact of tbe passage of tbe resolution. Smyth & Howard. If is asserted, did not comply with, the contract as to materials, but instead used valuelere round rock a great deal larger" than four Inches at the largest diameter, and that a considerable amount of the rock was six, eight, ten and 12 Inches In diameter. Numerous ob jections are also made to the manner of doing the work. The facts in connection with a nrevlous suit filed by Mr. Dunlwav and the others objecting against paying for tbe Improve ment, are act forth, and it Is stated that Judge Frazer In that case decided that the notice given of tbe Improvement by the City Engineer was not legal, and accord ing to the requirements of the charter; also, that the assessment attempted to be made .was Ineffectual and votd and should be set aside, and the city be perpetually enjoined from attempting to enforce It. Tbe court declined to make any further findings In the case, tbat Is as to the character of the work and material used. In the present suit it Is alleged that John W. Cook la tbe holder of all special warrants issued by the city for this work tbat are unpaid, and that a payment of any of these street warrants to Smyth & Howard, the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company, or Cook, would be a fraudulent conversion of the money of the taxpayers of the City of Portland. On February IS. 1303, It Is averred that the Council passed a resolution for the reassessment of the benefits for the im provement of East Burnslde street, and that the City Auditor Issued such a notice. It Is stated, however, that the Auditor did. not mall notices to the owners of prop erty who bonded or paid tbe former as sessment, and that the only notices the Auditor sent to anybody were not- signed ana did not show at all from whom they came. Many constitutional objections are re cited, why the recent action of the Council will not stand. The first Is that the new charter Is not yet In effect: another Is that the Council seeks to deprive persons of a remedy by due course of law for Injury .done them In person and property. Still -another Is that an attempt U made to take private property without Just com pensation. It Is also stated that certain sections of the charter are unconstitutional, because they authorize the City of Porland and Its officers to pass laws grantlmr to delin quent and fraudulent street and sewer contractors, tax title purchasers and spec ulators immunity irom being bound by the contracts voluntarily entered Into by them with the city. Mr. Dunlway offers other constitutional points In support of his comDlalnt. An Injunction Is asked for restraining the city officials from proceeding further until the suit is aeclaeo. ANOTHER ETECOTIOJf HERE. George Smith, Negro Murderer, Will Probably Be Hanged at Courthouse, George Smith, the negro whose convic tion of murder of his white wife, Annie Smith, was affirmed by tbe Supreme Court on Monday, will probably be hanged on the scaffold in the Courthouse yard, used in tne execution or setting. Tbe closing section of the act passed at tbe last session of the Legislature, pro viding for the execution of death sentences at the penitentiary, reads as follows: "Any warrant Issued prior to the taking eneci ox mis measure, snau be executed by the Sheriff. This act shall not be construed to affect the execution of any warrant Issued prior to the taking effect of .this measure." Governor Chamberlain signed the bill on February 17. and It goes into efTect on May IS. The mandate of the Supreme Court, which Is the official notice to tbe lower court that tbe conviction has been affirmed, may not arrive here before the expiration of SO .days, because Smith's at torneys are allowed that much time to file a motion for a rehearing. Smith will then be sentenced again, and the court must auow so days to pass before the sentence can te executed. District Attorney -Manning, speaking of uie maiier yesiexoay, expressed, the opinion that the sentencing of the man Is the warrant referred to In the new lair. and In that event unless a great deal of time can be taken up In Dreoarinr and ar. suing the motion for a rehearing. Smith win ie nangea nere. Mr. Manning said he had not exa-nlnl the question fully yet, but he had ad vised Sheriff Storey not'to have the scaf fold taken down. The question Is an im. portant one, because to mske the execu tion legal It must occur In the place pro- vis ea Dy law. Smith, when seen by an Oreconlan re porter yesterday afternoon, said: "I feel nrsi rate, i am doing a little twisting and tying a few knots," referring to a shawl be was engaged In making with yarn. "I heard the news early this mom'ar. T didn't turn white, because I didn't expect anything else. I didn't look for anything different. I can't state why except tbat I was thinking that way. I may say more aooui ii alter i nave seen my lawyer. He passed through here this morning, btrl he was In a hurry and I did not have a cnance 10 speak to Mm." Smith also stated that be had no Ill will against anyone and was sorry for what happened. He remarked that one day when he was taken up to the court room, the Deputy Sheriff told him be could take a walk and see the scaffold, but be did not want to look at it. XOT IX FE.ITn.VnARV TET.

BREAK ENSLAVING CHAINS Dr. Sperrr Gives Interesting; Advice to Y. Jl. C A. Audience. The lecture by Lyman Beecher Eperry at the Toung Men's Christian Association last evening on "Somethln's Done Broke," was Introduced by the story of a colored boy who at 17 years of age was regarded as an Idiot. He insisted on attending school, though apparently Incapable of learning anything from books. Some months after he surprises his teacher by reciting Intelligently not only what was In the book he had used, but also much tbat had been said and done In the school room. In reply to the astonished teach er's questions as to what had. caused the sudden awakening Sam put his hands to his head exclaiming. "Somethln here has Just done broke." This boy afterward be came Minister to Liberia under President Hayes. The lecturer took this case as a striking Illustration of a general fact. The business of life is tho breaking of various enslaving chains. Most people at the start have the advantage of the poor colored boy. but all of us must gain our freedom, and the enjoyment of life through the breaking of enslaving chains, Tbe first chain named was that of un fortunate heredity. Various phases of in herited defects or bad tendencies were spoken of and Illustrated. "We are all to some extent." said Dr. Sperrr, "chips oft an old block. And some of us think that some of our neighbors are chips off old blockheads." Tho next chain spoken of was Ignorance. The human Infant at birth; while potcntlaly the greatest of all ani mals. Is actually the most Ignorant and helpless. But by breaking the bands of Ignorance It may become an Edison or a Gladstone. Superstition, sklttlshness we call It when exhibited by a horse, that Is fear and unreasonable excitement In the presence of things we do not understand. was said to be the third chain. The liquor habit and the custom of taking quack remedies was mo last enslaving cnam spoken of. Tbe lecturer contended that the force by which these various chains are to be broken Is summed up in one word truth- Each truth clearly and Intelligently ap prehended ana placed in scientific relation to other truth, becomes an expanding force, which like freezing water or tbe growing roots of vegetation, will lift or pry apart the hardest rock. But truth, to have this liberating Influence, must not only be Intelligently apprehended, but worked out in tn lire. The lecture was original and served as a stimulant and an encouragement to all who heard It. While serious In his purposes Dr. Snerrv Is anything but dull and pedantic in his manner. He makes the gravest subjects entertaining ana numor abounds in all bis talks. The subject of the lecture tonight win be unman conditions and Possibilities. The admtaalon Is free to men only. STRANGE GAME OF BLUFF now a German Bank Cashier Worked Directors for Pension. BERLIN. March 3L While the direct ors of the Mayence People's Bank were In session a few days ago, tbe cashier, Herr mann, who had been with the bank 27 years, told them he had taken 170.000 of the bank's -funds. The amazed directors, when they were really convinced tbat this was true, and that the old employe had not suddenly gone mad. asked him why he naa rooDea tne bank; be replied: "This Is my revenge for not having been elected a director in 1S0O. as I was promised. I had been preparing this stroKe lor three years." The cashier added that he was willing iu u io uie pemienuary xor lire, aa he had "got even by Inflicting Ufepangs on 9 ears Pears' soup is nothing' but soap. Pure soap is as gentle as oil to the living skin. v Pears' is the purest and best toilet soap in all the world. Sold ell over the world. P the directors and stockholders" by taking the money. The bank officers, dropping the high- tone which they had at first assumed to ward Herrmann, begged htm to restore the money and retain their esteem. Herr mann slowly yielded so far as to say that. If they would give tSSO down, and a life pension of $300 a year, he would return the stolen money. It was daylight when the directors- promised to give- the cashier IS250 and a pension. Herrman then went to the outer office. brought in $70,000. counted out JS3.7K) and put ?20 In his pocket. The directors said this was not fair; tbat he must return all the money, and then ho would receive tbe $50 promised to him. He, however, refused, and the bank has now brought legal proceedings to recover the TSS0. Relation Growing; Strained.
