RALLY TO THE FAIR
Subscribers Hasten to Pay
Up Assessments.
ASQUSED BY THE OPPOSITION
Proposed Referendem Serve to Jog:
Their Memory and. Make Them
Prove Tlielr CoBdeBce Port
1 antTa Faita. Is Pledged.
Subscribers to the Lewis and Ciark Fair
do not believe there is any serious ques
tion of the success of .the efforts of those
who are -working for the big Exposition.
They regard it as certain the Fair will be
held and are rallying to Its support.
Subscriptions either due at present or
expected to fall due within a short time
are lelng paid in as though no question
had ever been raised as to the success
of the movement.
The first announcement of organized, op
position to the Fair in Portland -was
made Saturday. It was made known at
that time that a portion, at least, of the
nrrn nir-od inher leaders were opposing the
pnternrlse. and that this new strength
wnnirt ho enst In favon of securing a ref-
eredum. Under such circumstances it
-nrnnlfi not be expected that the subscrib
ers -would be anxious to contribute their
offerings, but they have been.
Show Faith "With Cosh.
The first surprise came to Exposition
officials Saturday, when subscribers began
to make payments, explaining that they
did not regard the movement in favor of
the referendum as serious enough to
warrant any uneasiness. Some of the
subscribers declared that their attention
had ben attracted to the fact that they
owed a second installment on their stock
. payments by the story of opposition to
the Fair.
VnHpr the circumstances, officials con
Tieeted with the Lewis and Clark Fair
reeard this feeling as unusually signifi
cant. It is interpreted to mean that con
fidence in the success of the enterprise
Is so thoroughly fixed that it cannot be
shaken, and that, no matter wnat con
dltions may arise to cause a temporary
delay in the work of preparation, the Fair
will be held during the dates already
fixed and upon a scale as elaborate as
originally outlined.
The fact that Portland has committed
itself to the Fair and has already made
partial arrangements to secure exhibits
from other states, and even loreign coun
tries, is held to have a strong effect upon
the subscribers and people of the city
Generally. Officials connected witn tne
Fair insist that Portland people will not
permit the movement to fall now.
A-rralt State Commission.
The workmen who have been employed
upon the Fair grounds were laid off yes
terday, and the engineering department
is not attempting to do anything further
toward improving the area which will be
occupied by buildings or used for other
Exposition purposes. This work will be
delayed until the state commission can
give its official sanction to the plans.
There is still a small force of men bus
ily engaged In stringing the wire fence
along the St Helens road and complet
ing the work of inclosing tne grounas,
The wire was partially stretched and all
the materials were on the ground. Under
these circumstances it was believed bet
ter nolicv to nroceed with the work rath
er than allow the wire to lie upon the
trround unused and exposed to the depre
ilfLtinns of nrowlers. This, however. Is
all the work that will be undertaken un
til the state commission is organized.
The office force of the Lewis and Clark
Fair directory' is kept busy, for the work
that has devolved upon these employes
has been piling up so rapjdly that, even it
all other departments were to cease, the
clals of the Fair are merely waiting for
the state board, so some work of prepara-
offlce force would still be busy. The offi-
tlon must be continued.
HILL ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Xorthern Securities Case "Will Be
Rushed In Court.
ST. PAUL. May 4. The Northern Se
curltles Company will do. all possible to
expedite its appeal from the Circuit Court
decision, according to a statement received
here with dividend checks today, dated
Mav 4. and signed by President J. J.
Hill. After referring to past dividends
the circular says:
"The trial of the suit brought by the
Attorney-General, your company in the
Circuit Court of the United States in
March, 1903, has resulted in a decree
against your company holding the stocks
of the Northern Pacific and ureat xsortn
em Hallway Companies, and restraining
the two railway companies from permit
ting your company to vote upon the shares
and from paying to it dividends thereon.
"So much of the decree as restrains
the two railway companies from paying
over to your company dividends upon
shares owned by it- has been suspended
by the court during the appeal of the case
to the Supremo Court of the united states.
This appeal has been taken by your com
pany. and will be urged as promptly as
possible.
"The suits brought against your com
pany by the States of Minnesota and
"Washington respectively have not yet been
tried. The earnings of your properties
have since their purchase largely Increased
and their actual value has been material
ly enhanced and cannot be impaired, even
though the decisions in any of these suits
shall be adverse to your company.
CONFER. "WITH HARRIMAX.
San Frnnclscb Merchants "Will Help
to K.eep Transport Trade.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 4. President
Harriman. of the Southern Pacific, con
ferred with representatives of local com
merclal bodies this afternoon. The mat
ters under discussion was the attempt of
HilU the northern Railroad and Steam
ship magnate, to cause the removal of the
transport service from San Francisco to
Seattle.
The object of the meeting was for the
commercial men and the railroad people
to come to an understanding as to how
iar each side might rely on the other in
case of emergency.
Satisfactory assurances were given by
each party to the discussion. It was re
solved that both mercantile and trans
portatlon Interests should co-operate so
far as possible In all matters where the
-welfare of San Francisco might be in
volved.
BARRIMAX-VANDERBILT HARMONY
Rise on Delaware fc Radeon Shows
a Complete Understanding.
NEW YORK, May 4. A rise of over six
points in the price of Delaware & Hudson
stocks today caused considerable specula
tion as to the probable cause thereof.
"The real cause for the rise, and which
was only known in a very few select quar
ters," .says the Commercial Advertiser,
"was a report to the effect that a large
block of the stock had been transferred
on the books of the company to the name
of E. H. Harriman. This report there Is
the best reason for believing is true, and
that it means that Mr. Harriman is prob
ably to be elected a director of the com
pany at the annual meeting tomorrow.
The significance of this will be apparent
at oa.ee to financiers and railroad sen. as
it means the complete harmony of Harri
man and Vanderbllt Interests, the effect of
which will be very far-reaching;
CLARK-HARRIMAX MAN GETS IT.
lively Bidding: for I.os .Angeles
Street Railvray Franchise.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 4. A street
railway franchise covering slightly over
two miles on Sixth street and Figueroa"to
the western- limits of the city, was sold
to G. C. Johnson today in the City Council
for $110,000, after some lively bidding iot
the privilege between Johnson, the Los
Angeles Railway Company and the Trac
tion Company. Johnson declined u di
vulge his backing, hut it is commonly pre
sumed that he'was acting for the so-called
Clark-Harrlman. syndicate. The franchise
just acquired is a valuable one, but it is
said would not be worth the price paid
except as a nucleus for a new system.
HAWAII IS CRITICISED.
Expert on Leprosy. Holds Its Treat
ment of Disease All Wrens.
HONOLULU. April 2S. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The Legislative
committee which visited the leper settle
ment has made its report, submitting with
its own findings a long and sensational
statement made by Dr. A. L. Alvarez, a
physician, who went to Molokal with the
committee as expert. The doctor very se
verely criticises Hawaii's system of segre
gation and makes the statement that out
of 21 supposed lepers examined uy mm
some time aso 16 were entirely free from,
the disease and should be at liberty. The
segregation system, the report says, leads
those wno have leprosy and their relatives
to conceal the fact, in order that they may
escape being sent to MolokaL Dr. Alvarez
approves the system of segregation in
vogue in Norway.
The Legislative committee recommends
the establishment of a large hospital on
the Island of Oahu, and the employment
of Dr. Alvarez as physician In charge. It
is also recommended that a medical com
mission be secured to go to the settle
ment and examine all the doubtful cases,
releasing those who have not the disease.
A bill to provide for a subsidy, of 51000
a month to the wireless telegraph com-
nany here, and require a general Improve
ment of the system, is making favorable
progress through the Legislature. It re
quires the company greatly to extend and
improve its system, and to carry govern
ment messages at one-fourth the regular
rates, also to cut the tolls In half.
The Legislature has passed and sent to
the Governor for signature a bill provid
ing for a public loan of 55.000,000. This
sum ia to be spent upon public works. It
is proposed to issue bonds annually for
the full amount allowed oy tne organic
act.

All that the Eastern financiers want Is the
undeveloped coal lands. They will let the
companies now mining coal nuy tne land
covered by their leases, but no more. If
some of the independent mining concerns
are not able to buy the land which they,
now have leased the syndicate will buy It
for them, and allow them to operate It on
a royajty of 8 cents a ton, as they are
now paying the Indians.

South McAlester.

THE WORLD HIS COUNTRY
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON FOL
LOWS HIS FATHER'S CRSBD.
He Bitterly Opposes Retention of the
Philippines and Strongly FaTers
Unrestricted Immigration.
William Lloyd Garrison, well-known son
of a famous father, is at the Hotel Port
land with his wife and daughter.
As an advocate of the principles of
Henry George, of free trade, of unre
stricted immigration, and of anti-Imperi
alism, Mr. Garrison is a leader among the
Boston philosophers and pamphleteers who
have been a thorn in the side of the
American Government in general, and of
Roosevelt in particular.
"Although," said Mr. Garrison yester
day, "I honor Mr. Roosevelt for his 4m-

EYED CHINESE MAY YET SEE OUR FALL."
pulslve rashness, and firmly believe that
had he the coprage to cast party lines
and .politics aside and to throw himself on
the people, he would be an astounding
success. As it is " Mr.Garrison paused
for ear that he would be inaccurately
quoted, and no persuasion could Induce
him to finish his sentence.
"I am greatly surprised," he said, "to
find that the newspapers of the Pacific
Coast have invariably cast themselves
with the current on- the Philippine ques
tion, and do not dare or care to criticize
the indefensible course .we have adopted
in our treatment of a weaker people, an
embryo nation, as we were once. Of the
brutalities, countless and horrifying, that
our soldiers have practiced upon the Fil
ipinos, who would once have been our
friends, I will not speak. The record Is
there, but the public does not apparently
care to read it. The economic side of it.
the argument that because It will benefit
us financially, we will plunder the Phil
ippines, take them under our sheltering
wing, apportion the Government positions
among our politicians, the business among
our speculators and uplift the natives by
making them go to work for us, seems to
me to be exactly the same kind of argu
ment that any highway robber might
make. It benefits him to steal my purse,
and I can get along without it.
"We are a great Nation," continued Mr.
Garrison, "and if we would continue
great, we must avoid the pitfalls that
have caused the grass to grow in the cit
ies of other nations that once were great.
We attract to the land of liberty vast
throngs of those who can no longer en
dure the despotisms of Europe. If we
ourselves become despotic, our land' will
also be depleted.
On the subject of Immigration, as on
many others, Mr. Garrison holds extreme
ly radical views. He bitterly opposes the
policy which would raise a single bar to
immigration of whatever character, -and
the Geary law Is to him an iniquitous
piece of legislation and baleful In its ef
fect. "Why should we exclude the Chinese, or
any one else?" he asks. "The Chinaman,
for instance, is. industrious, he works all
the time. Tho Coast needs labor for Its
development, and yet we exclude this use
ful, unassuming race. It Is race hatred.
It is on a par with the negro question. I
have noticed that one objection raised
against the Chinaman Is that he works
too cheaply- I notice also that Chinese
domestic servants get far more wages
than do the whites. I asked a woman in
California why she did not employ a
Chinese cook. 'It is too expensive,' she
said.
"My father said that the world was his
country, and I think It is a broad and
good creed. From race hatred, which is
only a survival of tribal warfare, we all
have suffered Irish and Swede, German
and Jew, Italian, negro. Englishman and
Yankee. Are we not great enough to al
low every one an equal chance?
"It Is not because of any inferiority
that we despise the negro and the China
man. In the South the whiter and better
educated a negro Is, the worse he is hated.
You may always observe that, while the
Chinaman and the negro may be bitterly
assailed as a race, their opponents will
strain the English language In describing
their good qualities as individuals.
" 'The Chinaman Is reliable, they say;
'trustworthy and Industrious; not holsy
or aetrresslve.' And still he should be
kept away from the land of liberty!
"And still I can see that where white
men who want work often find it difficult
to find employment, they will naturally
oppose the coming of others who also
want to labor. If we would go to the
root of all this, we would find that in the
private ownership of land and privilege
lay the evil. Henry George was a great
man. His theories, decreed in his lifetime
as visionary, will yet become the stepping
stones to better social conditions, and the
basis of a government that will endure.
"The Anglo-Saxon bully," -said Mr. Gar
rison, "the domineering bully, who says
to other nations, 'Thou shall and 'thou
shalt not. will yet come to grief. And
the almond-eyed Chinaman will see our
fall.
"The argument is made .that the pol
icies I advocate are too advanced for to
day." - said Mr.
Garrison, as he arose.
"Peonle say. 'I think you are right from
, -tvMi stnnrinnlnt- hut wo can-
a moral or ethical standpoint, put wc can-
not adopt such advanced principles yet.' j
Let me tell you -what cameid said: -unsettled
questions have no mercy for the
peace of nations, Think of IL The truth
of the saying grows otv one. Let us settle
our questions now, when we first meet
them."

This petition was followed by a remon
strance against vacation of any of the
streets within the corporate limits of
St. Johns. Recorder Miner then read the
report of the street committee adverse
to vacation of the streets, setting forth
that. If such streets were opened, it
would make the Council liable to heavy

the streets could not be vacated. The re

the streets will not be opened.
Councilman Hughes, of the ways and

the city to borrow $400 for a period of one

in the constitution, 'to Increase fellow
ship among women in order to promote
the best practical methods for securing
their industrial, educational and social

"Thousands of inexperienced girls flock
to the business centers to occupy these
positions, and it was seen that in our own
beloved city many young women came as
strangers to take their places In business
life, unprotected, inexperienced, without

we mention that the Portland Women's
Union was the first organized effort to
respond to the great need of furnishing
boarding home for the self-supporting
young woman, and to throw around her

welcome to all for whom it can find a

All cannot be provided for, and many
a disappointed one is turned away. The
work of the Union has not been done in
half-hearted way, for many years be

unity of purpose and faith that they could

the property stands free from debt, the

FIGHT ON LIQUOR LICENSE
Coantr Coart Hears Arguments for
and Against Schneider.
A demurrer to the petition of D. W.
Butler and others for the revocation of
the license granted to Captain Schneider
to conduct a saloon at Montavllla was
argued last night before County Judge
Webster and. County Commissioners
Barnes and Showers. Captain Schneider
was granted a license In November. 1202,
for one year, and paid the statutory
amount, $400. The statute requires that
prior to the granting of a liquor license
by the County Court the applicant must
file a petition containing the signatures
of a majority of the legal voters in the
precinct. The poll book at the last elec
tion shows 251 votes cast, and Schneider's
petition contained 135 names.
Butler and othere now allege that 33 of
the persons "whose names appear on the
petition are not residents of the pre
cinct a ad that the petition was 'therefore
sot sufficient.
AI Meadeaaall. attorney for Cap-
is ot reviewable at this time. He called
atteatfea to the fact that the statute

the' petltloa for a lieease Is presented,
and no remonstrance was filed. Her main
tained that the residents of the precinct
who .are opposed to a saloon had a rem
edy, and not having taken advantage of
It, cannot be heard to. complain at this
late date. He also said that Butler,
who was opposing Schneider, did not seem
to be in earnest to do away with saloons
in the neighborhood, because he had
signed a petition for a license to he grant
ed to William Grimes. The attorney also
submitted numerous authorities on the
question.
Roger B. Slnnott and Charles H. Carey
made arguments for Butler and his. as
sociates. They contended, that it was not
a question of a writ of review, but one
that the court had no Jurisdiction to
grant Schneider a license if the petition
does not contain enough names, and that
the action of the court In such a case
was void and can be vacated of Its own
motion. It was further argued that the
petition only asked for a license to sell
liquors, and that the statute refers to
malt, spirituous and vinous liquors, and
such a petition is not strictly legal. Nu
merous authorities were read, and Judge
Webster said the court would consider
the matter and render a decision in two
or three days. If the demurrer Is over
ruled the case will have to be tried out.
and proof submitted concerning the quali
fications of the names on the petition that
are disputed.
It was conceded -during the argument
that no claim was made that Schneider's
place Is not orderly.
CARSON HOLLAND MISSING
Boy
Disappears With One Month's
Wages la His Pocket.
The police are looking for Carson Hol
land, an -18-year-old boy, residing at 186
East Twenty-seventh street, who disap
peared Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock
with $60 in his pocket, the fruits of a
month's hard work. The boy's mother
Is distracted over her son's absence and
fears that he has met foul play.
Holland Is a healthy lad, and well
grown for his age? has no bad habits
and has never -remained away from home
before. He has been employed in the
D"ekum building", running the elevator,
for a long time, iJnd upon drawing his
month's wages along with some back
pay Saturday night presented his mother
with a small Swiss . watch and told her
he -Bras very glad that he was able to
surprise her In vthis way.
On Sunday he worked until 1 P. M.,
when he hurried home for dinner, and
at 2 o'clock left for the West Side, tell
ing his mother that he had an appoint
ment to meet some one for a boat ride
at 3 o'clock.
He was seen to pass the Dekum build
ing at 3:15 o'clock. Since that time no
trace of his whereabouts has been found.
It Is feared that he went rowing and
was drowned or was enticed Into some
resort and drugged. Owing to the many
boats on the Willamette on Sundays and
the fact that no boat Is missing from
tho boathouses, the drowning theory Is
without support. If he has been drugged
some word will undoubtedly be received
of him today.'
When he left home the young man
was attired neatly In a dark suit, low
tan shoes, a striped blue and white shirt
and a black felt hat. Near the base of
the left forefinger the left hand bears
a bullet", mark, and the same finger is
.slightly crooked.
BAN ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Courts
Hold Its Teaching: Bad for
the Commanity.
PHILADELPHIA, May 4. The Supreme
Court today affirmed a ruling- iof the .late
Judge Arnold, in which the latter refused
to charter a Christian Science Associa
tion! The proposed association was "to
establish, a place for support of public
worship and to preach the doctrines of
Christ Jesus as- found In the Bible and
the Christian Science text-book and key
to the scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy."
Judge Arnold referred the application
for a charter to a master of chancery.
who after hearing, recommended that
the charter be refused on the ground
that "It would be Injurious to the com
munity to incorporate a group of citi
zens who would preach the doctrine that
there Is no such thing as a contagious
disease, or any disease and practice the
art of curing what are called contagious
diseases by inaudible prayer, whether in
the presence of the sick or at a dis
tance."
The master's opinion "was indorsed by
Judge Arnold, who filed an opinion re
fusing the charter: The Supreme Court
today upheld this view and quashed the
appeal.
