THE MOUSING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, APRIL ?, 1903.
WHEN MAY21 COMES
President Will Have a Busy
Day.
IT MAY RUN INTO THE NIGHT
Special Committee Is Cndeeided
Whether to Ilare Evening Parade
or to Let Chief Executive
Best After Sinner.
The President Is to begin his day's 'work
on Mar 21 with a half hour's atop at Hose
burr. Just about the time the sun crawls
out of. bed and begins, shedding light. He
Is to make another short stop at Salem on
his way to Portland, and will arrive at 2:30
P. M.
A special committee spent an hour yes
terday afternoon considering the question
as to whether the President should be per
mitted to close bis day after dinner, when
ever It may be decided that is to be served,
or whether he shall be called upon to re
view an evening parade and conclude his
round of sightseeing, speechmaklng and
reviewing somewhere about 11 P. M, or
06 hours after he began his day.
Most of the details of the day's pro
gramme were easily arranged by the spe
cial committee, but over the question of
the night parade with Its attendant red
Are and brilliant electric lights there was
a marked division of sentiment. The gen
eral committee had previously decided this
-would be an acceptable feature, and the
President had agreed to review a night
parade.
All this, however, was before the special
committee had figured It would need all
of the President's time up to 9 or S:8
o'clock to complete his dinner, after hav
ing gone through an afternoon of varied
experiences, wherein he would take part
in a street paradf. meet a number of dis
tinguished visitors, review the school chil
dren and lay the corner-stone of the Lewis
and Clark monument. "When it was dis
covered that the President would not have
much rest during the day. a portion of
the special committee, of which W. D.
"Wheelwright is chairmen, began to doubt
whether it would be jwsslble to hold a
night parade, even though the President
were willing to review it.
Plnnn for Mailt Parade.
AH plans for a night parade agreed upon
some of the essential details. The affair
was suggested as a uniformed and regu
lar pageant that would pass a reviewing
stand, marching In perfect order and be
tween rows of state or Federal troops.
The committeemen, whether favoring the
parade or opposing the plan. Insisted that
nothing sa-e a uniformed parade should
be attempted, and that even such private
citlrens, not members of fraterial soci
eties or -labor unions, who desired to march
past the reviewing stand should submit to
the orders governing the formation and
action of the parade. They would be com
pelled to move at a double-quick, or at
least to keep moving.
The proposal for this parade was made
with the provision that a reviewing stand
should be erected In the courtyard of the
Hotel Portland, and that thousands of
electric lights strung along the streets
should make the scene as brilliant as pos
sible. Troops would surround the review
ing stand, be placed in the courtyard and
line Sixth street.
Throughout the parade It was suggested
redfire be shown and fireworks play a
prominent part. This would give. It was
urged, an excellent opportunity for the
people to see the President, and the Ex
ecutive to gain an Idea of what Portland
could do.
Some of the committeemen, beside urg
ing the possible fatigue of the President
as an objection, also Insisted the element
of danger to him would be greater In the
evening than at any other time, and In
sisted that the plan should be rejected
upon this account.
The committee was unable to agree upon
a recommendation yesterday afternoon,
but will take up the matter again this aft
ernoon at another special meeting to be
held at i P. M.
Elaborate Dinner to De Served.
The dinner that Is to be served the Presi
dent at the Hotel Portland was discussed
at yesterday's meeting to some extent,
and then it was Anally decided to advise
the general committee to permit Mayor
"Williams to designate a special commit
tee of three to arrange details. The ques
tion of inviting visiting Governors. Sen
ators or other distinguished guests was
discussed, but no decision was reached
This Is a question the special committee
will pass upon, but at the same time the
special committee will be reminded that
there Is an agreement with the President
that no formal dinner nor one -wherein a
large gathering figures shall be attempted.
The dinner will be served after the Presi
dent has rested upon his return from the
park ceremonies. As It Is believed be will
not reach the hotel until C P. M., the din
ner hour would be close to 8 P. M. The
dinner Is to be rather elaborate, and it
would require from 1 to m hours In serv
ing. This fact bears upon the plans for
tne evening parade.
The committee did away with the pro
posal for a trip to the site of the Lewis
and Clark Centennial Exposition. The
question of time, and the President's con
venience were the principal reasons for
changing the programme In this particu
lar.
Cornerstone Lnylnjr.
The hour for laying the corner-stone of
the Lewis and Clark monument at the
park was fixed at 4 P. M, and the pro
gramme that has been suggested hereto
fore was approved. This programme in
cludes no other speeches than the one de
livered by the President, save an lntroduc
lory address by Mayor Williams.
The details for the erection of a stand
at the park, suitable for holding about (00
persons, will be left to the supervising
architect of the Lewis and Clark Fair.
Upon this platform are to be seated the
Invited guests, a list of whom will Include
Governors -and Members of Congress from
other states, willing to Join In the cele
bration. The reception committee was ad
vised yesterday to arrange for lutroduc-
lng the Governors, and other prominent
men present to the president after the
laying of the corner-stone.
The cadets from the Hill Military Acad
emy and Seld Beck's Chinese-American
Organization were added to the list of or
ganisations that will form the President's
escort during the afternoon parade from
the depot to the park. The plan of having
the band and troops from Vancouver
Barracks detailed for park duty was ap
proved.
Line of March la Adopted.
The route for the Presidential parade
from the depot to the City Park and back
to the hotel was agreed upon. A special
committee, which Included W. D. wheel
wrlght. City Engineer Elliott General
Bee be and W. L. Boise, went Over the
route proposed yesterday morning and
picked out the streets that should be tra
versed. Incidentally the-committee decid
ed upon such street Improvements as may
be necessary. This Is the line of march
adopted:
From Union Depot south on Sixth street
to Ollsan. thence to Third, up .that thor
oughfare to Stark and back again to
Sixth; then to Salmon and out Salmon to
Park, from that point to Hall, and thence
to West Park, back to Salmon and up to
Fourteenth, out that street to Couch,
thence to Eighteenth, and from there to
Everett, proceeding to Twenty-third. The
Presidential party and escort will move to
'Washington and enter the park by that
street. The parade will be abandoned on
Salmon street.
On the return the Presigeat and hi J
party wlH drive almost direct to the hotel,
reaching- West Park by way of Burnside.
and then driving to Morrison, thence to
the hotel. This should be reached about
C P. M.

"Several people have died In Baker City

by State Health Officer Dr. Woods Hutch

City. A number of cases have occurred
among the cattle. Only recently I saw
three caees In one slaughter yard.'
Dr. H- E. Curry, of Baker City, a mem
ber of the Bute Board of Medical' Exam
iners, when Interviewed concerning the
matter yesterday, said that he had not
seen a single use of lumpy Jaw among
the cattle within the past year, and that
he did not believe that any people in his
county bad contracted the disease.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson. State Health
Officer, eald that the rumor was so prev

veternarian to Baker County at once to
Inspect the herds. The cattle are Just, be

spec tor goes at once he will be able to
see all of the cattle before they have
scattered.
The attention of the State Board of
Health to the matter was first attracted
by the announcement that eeveral cases
of lumpy Jaw had been reported at the
hospital In Baker City.
"I am secretary of the Hospital Board."
said Dr. Curry yesterday, Vand I have not
heard of a Rlnirle case." But In a letter
received from Dr. McDaniel. It was stated
that he thought beyond a reasonable
doubt that several deaths had occurred
from lumpy Jaw within the pat two
years.
"Are you able to tell Just what cases
are In the hospital at the present timer
asked- Dr. Hutchinson of Dr. Curry.
"No. sir," he replied.
"If there was a case of lumpy Jaw In
the hospital would It eurely be reported
to youf
"It would not have to be reported to me.
bdt I think that I would surely have heard
of It."
"Then you cannot say positively, that
there Is not a case of lumpy Jaw In the
Baker City hospital at this timer' querried
Dr. Hutchinson.
"I cannot." admitted Dr. Curry. "But I
think that a great Injustice la being done
the Eastern part of the state," continued
the doctor. "Our cattle are as free from
disease as any cattle In the world. We
have taken an especial pride In breeding
fine cattle.
"As for lumpy Jaw existing among them.
I am sure the report la false. We have
our own Inspector, and he Is a good one,
too. We have such fine cattle that we
cannot afford to allow them to become
diseased. We kill an animal with a lumpy
Jaw Just as we would a mad dog.
"And as for the report that the butchers
have been selling diseased meat I cannot
believe that a butcher In the county would
stoop ao low. The average sales, In the
butcher shops are is cental and I cannot
think that any man would deal death out
to his customers for the profit he would
make on a S-cent sale,"
"They do It In this county." Interrupted
Dr. Hutchinson. "Why. these beaats with
whom we have to deal." and the doctor
emphasised his statement with an Im
pressive gesture, "would sell anything
that they could get Into the market. As
soon aa an animal begins to show signs
of disease they kill It, dress It themselves,
and rush It to market before the meat
shows signs of decay.
"And there seems absolutely no way at
present to" stop them except through
chance. We have no method of meat In

"But be cautious." said Dr. Curry. "Do
not harm the stock-raising Interests of
Eastern Oregon by announcing that there
la lumpy Jaw among the cattle."
- "The announcement has already gone
out." said Dr. Hutchinson, "and the re
port hsa circulated to such an extent that
an Investigation Is necesaary. I shall
I nd a competent man to eastern Oregon
at once to look over the herds. If he flnda
that there is no lumpy Jaw there, his re
port will assure the people that they are
safe In buying In Eastern Oregon. If he
flnda the disease does exist among the
cattle, he can order all ulseaaed stock
I killed, and will then be prepared to an
ounc th the disease is stamped out.
" Is the best thing for the public health
and for the business Interests of Eastern
Oregon that an Investigation should be
made at once. .A systematic Inspection

get together and fix up bids between
them. WTwever really wants the Job
makes the lowest bid. while the others
know exactly what the bid of each one" Is.
Then the man who geta the Job divides up
10 per cent with the others In the deal.
All city work and most of the other big
Jobs are done this way. It's nothing but
a pot. When the other members of the
association learn of such a deal they try
to break Into the ring and are sometimes
succemfuL
"Mr. Burns, how can you afford to pay
the painters' scale when the contractors
In the association say that they can do
nothing of the kind 7
"Why, that Is easy enough. The men can
earn that amount, and as I have aald. I
had to figure upon paying the scale when
it was presented. I calculated that as the
Fair would bring a great amount of work
Into the city we could all afford to pay the
men more, even without figuring the add!
tlonal SO cents a day In our contracts.
When more work Is being done we can
aCerd to make less off each man than if
a smaller amount of work Is being done
by the shop. In this way we can divide
the benefits of more work with the men
themselves. The members of the as
sociation, however, didn't see It this way;
they wast to rake off all they can dar
ing the Fair and are beginning to do It
now. I heard one of the largest con
tractors in town, who is In that ring I
told you of. say In the meeting of the as
sociation that if we the painting eon.
tractors didn't make money In the next
two years we never would. So all those
men have their mitts out for & graft on
the big lot of work being done In the
city. I knew, of course, that I would be
expelled from the association when I
signed the scale of the union, but I
thought that I could get along without
the association If that was the policy
they were going to pursue, so I signed
and was expelled?'
"How many men are you working today,
Mr. Burns?"
"Only seven today, but when the
weather clears up I will put on 25, for
there Is a great call for painters. This
rainy weather baa been a big help to the
Master Palners' Association, but If It
clears tomorrow I would be willing to
gamble that all the master painters will
have signed the scale by the end of the
week."
"'Is It true that the members of the
Master Painters' Association are very
much opposed to painters working for pri
vate persons by the day 7
"Indeed they are. One of the laws of
the Master Painters' Association Is that
no member shall employ a painter who

In this way they hope to force all work
Into the shops and stop the habit of hiring
men by the day. If a man wants to have
his house painted he must come to a
shop to get men, they think. Of course,
this helps the contractor to get his per
centage on the man's work. This rule
has been broken, however, by contractors
who wanted a certain good man."
President Warde, of the Painters Union,
was asked concerning the alleged propo
sition of certain members of the Master
Painters Association that the union work
for none others but members of the as
sociation for a high rate of pay.
"I am bound by honor not to give you
that Information."' said he. though It was
evident from the expression of the preaL
dent's face that he had a strong inclina
tion to divulge some Interesting details.
Then Mr. Warde looked at Anton Rlt
zlnger. a prominent member of the union,
and Mr. Rltzlnger smiled In reply. "Yes.
I '"know that would be Interesting reading
If we could give it to you," said the
president.
Rumors of a proposal from certain mem
bers of the association to the e fleet that
If the union would bind Itself to work for
none but Master Painters the matter of
pay could be very satisfactorily arranged,
have been current for -several weeks, but
In every case the union men who composed
the committee that met these contractors
are unwilling to speak of the terms of the
proposition. Naturally the contractors
don't care to discuss It either.
PAI.TnnS PATROL THE CITY.
Bnt Few Nonunion Men Are Reported
' at IVorli
Though the patrols were 'Just as busy
yesterday as on the previous days of the
strike, "not so many cases of nonunion
men were reported as on Monday and
Tuesday.
No concerted effort has yet been made
by members of the Master Painters As
sociation to place nonunion painters upon
any number of Jobs. The business agents
of the union say this Is because nonunion
painters cannot be obtained. The contrac
tors say they wish .to give the local
painters a last chance to return to their
former positions. Whatever the cause, the
fact remains that few were put to work.
"I put two nonunion painters to work
this afternoon." said William Sheeny.
"Ernest Miller placed two, and Sutclltte
& Blled three. We will have a number
of nonunion men here within a few days."
Messrs. Sheehy, Chriatensen and T. A.
Clarke were on their way to confer with
a committee of the Master Builders' As
sociation at the tatter's rooms. "Going
to a meeting, gentlemen?" they were
asked. "Oh. no, a man down the street
has offered to set up the cocktails, that's
all, said the discreet Mr. Clarke, and tne
committee proceeded on Its way to the
Sherlock building.
The union men were asked as to the
nonunion painters whom Mr. Sheehy sold
bad been put to work that afternoon.
"Dn't know anything about them yet.
but we 11 have them off by tomorrow,1
said the business agents.
Later In the day President Warde had a
laugh.
"Tea, we found one of Mr. Sheehys
men. and he leaves for Spokane tonight,
said he. "You know, they are advertising
to pay union painters $3.50 a day In Spo
kane. This man had drifted Into Portland
without knowing anything about the
strike. Just as soon as he was told there
was a strike on he came to headquarters
and left the key of the house he was
working upon, such was his hurry to leave
town for a place where they are willing to
pay at least T3.M a day for a man s work.
Rltzlnger took the key to Sheehy shop.
"Yes, we have the city pretty well pa
trolled." continued the president. "All the
work is done by volunteers, except the
business agents, who are specially ap
pointed: there are five of these now. The
first thing In the morning, when the ex
ecutlve board meets, I call for volunteers
to look for nonunion painters, and there
Is never the least difficulty in getting
enough men to do this. We might have
stirred up much trouble In this city by
the strike, and could very easily have
had a riot. That is not the way we will
win the strike, for public opinion would
be turned against us. As It Is. a reason
able, peaceable strike, orderly conducted,
will bring public sympathy to our aid.
and we will win."
Practically all the carpenters and plas
terers who quit work on the Mohawk
building of the Falling estate at Third
and Morrison street, Monday, are now
"back at work. The legend. "This Job Is
fair," on the Morrison-street aide, brings
union men at once.

At a rousing meeting of Fidelity Lodge,
No. A. O. TJ. W- held last night In
Logan Hall, on Grand avenue and East
Washington street, the question of the
proposed 110,000 hall was discussed with
much enthusiasm. During the evening
over J3000 In shares of stock was sub
scribed, and another J10CO was pledged,
making a total of 300 shares taken of the
1000 It Is proposed to Issue.
Fred Gilford, chairman of the commit
tee appointed to make Investigation of
cost, location and plan, reported that a
tlO.OOO hall was feasible. The money was .
to be raised by Issuing 1000 shares of
tlO each. It was decided to make the I
shares payable monthly at the rate of Jl
each. On delivery of the certificate of
share or shares the purchaser pays 11 down
on each share taken, and thereafter Jl
per month on each share until paid up.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the hall should be built as near East Mor-

East Twenty-Eighth street Residents
Have Xo Groand for Kick.
M. E. Gordon, who la inspector of the
sewer now being built for the East Twen
ty-eighth-street district, which Is an ex
tension of the East Oak-street sewer,
said yesterday that the people are getting
a first-class sewer for their money. The
sewer begins at East Twenty-fourth street
and until It reaches East Twenty-eighth
street Is 2Z Inches In diameter. That part
laid on' East Twenty-eighth street Is 3)
Inches In diameter. Objections have been
raised that poor work was being done
on the last two blocks. Citizens meas
ured the pipe that was being used, and
found it lacked something of being 30
Inches In diameter. Inside measurement,
They also thought that the Joints were
not being properly made.
Mr. Gordon says that this Is one of the
very best sewers of the kind In the city,
and he la willing to guarantee it. He
went through the part where It was al
leged to be poorly Joined, and examined
the Joints and the cement, and found
everything satisfactory so far as the
