Major William Hancock Clark, of New
York, the oldest living direct descendant
of Captain William Clark, the great ex
plorer, and Mrs. Clark arrived In the
city yesterday to attend the laying of the
corner-stone of the Xiewis and Clark mon
ument in the City Park by President
Roosevelt today. He will remain at the
Portland Hotel as the guest of the Lewis
and Clark Fair Commission for a week
and will then go to. Oregon City as the
guest of Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. authoress
of "The Conquest," a book which tells
again the history of his grandfather's ex
plorations. He will next visit Mrs.
Edythe Tozier Weatherred at Hood River,
and after that will pay a visit to his old
friend. General John M. Bacon, at Van
couver. He will thus remain In this sec
tion for some time, and while here will
do all 1n his power to promote the success
of the Fair, which he has thoroughly at
heart.
Major Clark looks like a man In the
prime of life, and no person would sus
pect, on seeing his tall, erect, soldierly
flgure, his bright, clear eye and his fresh,
healthy complexion, that he is In his 6Uh
year. He tells with Just pride of the
great deeds of his family in the history
of the United States, mostly In the "win
ning of the West," and rejoices that his
name is associated with the exploration
of tho country which has been carved
Into the great states of the Pacific North
west. The Clark family came originally from
Wales, whence the founder of Its Amer
ican fortunes. Jonathan Clark, came In
1623- and settled first at Richmond, Va.,
where he married Ann Rogers, eldest
daughter of Jonn Rogers, founder of that
city, and then settled at Charlottesville,
two miles south of Monticello, the home
of Thomas Jefferson. They had nine chil
dren, of whom William, the explorer, was
the youngest, and George Rogers, the con
querer of the Northwest, was the second.
By his first wife Captain Clark had three
sons Meriwether Lewis Clark, nanred
after his associate in his explorations;
George Rogers Hancock Clark and W1H
iam Preston Clark. Meriwether Lewis
Clark was born in 1S09, and died in 1SSL
after having distinguished himself as an
officer In the early Indian wars, the Mex
ican War and In the Confederate service
in the Civil War; also as an engineer in
civil life. In the Civil War he attained
the rank of Brigadier-General. His eldest
son is Major William Hancock Clark,
who was born December 25. 1839, In the
same room In St. Louis where Tils grand
father had died on September 1. 1838. He
Is a graduate of the Churchill Military
School at Sing Sing, N. Y.. and has seen
much service as a soldier. He was sec
retary to Captain (afterward Admiral)
William Radford. U. S. N., In the explor
ing expedition up the Yangtse Kiang
River, In China, in 18C0-61, and was Cap
tain on the staff of Generals Churchill,
Ector, French and Ewell In the Confed
erate army. For a time he was secretary
of the St. Louis Stove & Plow Works and
of the Northwest Building & Savings As
sociation. He has held 13 offices In tho
New York Custom-House under Secre
tary John Sherman and others.
Mrs. Clark, to whom tho Major was
married pn August 22. 18S3. Is also of dis
tinguished family. Her maiden name was
Camilla Gaylord, and she Is a grand
daughter of Paymaster Joseph Hazard
Terry, TJ. S. N., of the frigate Brandy
wine. In the War of 1812, and when that
vessel escorted General La Fayette to New
Orleans in 1824.
"The Judith River In Montana was
named by my grandfather after Julia
Hancock, whom he afterwards married,"
said the Major. "Her negro nurse used to
call her Judith, and that was the name
by which she was known In her home at
Fotheringay. He chose that in preference
to her true name because he did not wish
people to suspect that he was engaged to
her, as he did not know whether he would
get back from his expedition. They used
to call me 'Bossy because I was the eld
est and used to boss them all. We had
55 negroes to wait on our family of four,
and I had two negro boys to play with
me and my ponies.
"Since the death of Jefferson Kearney
Clark, a son of my grandfather by his
eecond wife, in 1900, I have become the
patriarch of the family, being the eldest
son of the oldest son of William Clark.
I am also the only man alive who had
four great-grandfathers In the Revolution,
all of whom were at the battle of York
town. They were: Colonel John Clark, of
Charlottesville. Va.; General George Han
cock, of Fotherlngay, Va.: General Will
lam Oldham and Colonel William Church
ill. "I was tho author of the idea of ren
dering unto Sacajawea that which is Saca
jawea's. I was impressed with the Idea
that, if it had not been for that bravo
little woman when the Impetuosity of
Lewis got them into trouble the whole ex
pedition would have been ruined. Her
knowledge of tho language and her desire
to help the Americans, among whom sho
Included French, Spanish, Anglo-Saxon
and Indian, saved them."
Major Clark has been offered by Presi
dent J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern Rail
road, the use of his private car for such
of the Clark and Lewis descendants as
he shall choose to attend the dedication of
the Fair on April 25. 1905, when he will
touch the button which will start the Fair,
unless the President should perform that
function. The party'wlll Include Mr. and
Mrs. C. Harper Anderson, the former be
ing the only living descendant of Meri
wether Lewis-. He now resides on a part
of tho old Lewis plantation near Ivy De
pot, Albemarle County, Va.
SHORT OF FRUITPICKERS.
Fifty Per Cent Will Be California's
Loss Without Immlcrmtlon.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 20. Word has
been received by the California Promotion
Committee from 34 canneries In the state
that the present outlook for assistance
In canning the big fruit crop shows SOW
people will be required to work in the
canneries beyond the present available
supply.
Word received from the fruitgrowers
shows that more than 3000 persons will be
needed in harvesting the crop. From
these figures, it is estimated that the loss
from failure to handle the crop, unless
mitigated by immigration, will reach fully
50 per cent, exceeding last year's loss,
which was 30 per cent.
The charge made in certain quarters
that an attempt Is being made to im
port cheap labor to compete with union
labor Is vigorously denied by tho promo
tion committee.

THE J. M. ACHESON CO.
MAJOR WILLIAM
AS TO THE REFERENDUM
DOUBT WHETHER IT APPLIES TO
LAST SESSION'S LAW.
General Opinion That Vote Can't Be
Taken on Fair, Portage Railroad
and Corporation Tnx.
The opinion Is widespread that all laws
enacted at the last session of tho Legis
lature are Immune from the referendum
amendment to the constitution. That
amendment was intended to be operative
as an. integral part of the organic law of
the state, but many lawyers, even cham
pions of the amendment, say that It
cannot operate without supplemental legis
lation. Such legislation was provided at
the last legislative session, but it had no
emergency clause, and therefore cannot
be effective until 90 days after the ad
journment of the Legislature, that Is, to
day. But this legislation cannot apply to
the acts of that body, because it goes into
effect at the same moment of time as they
do.
It would seem therefore, that a refer
endum on th6 Fair appropriation, the
portage railway, the corporation tax or
on any act of the Legislature Is impos
sible, not because the referendum amend
ment is void or ineffectual, but because of
the lack of legislation to .make It oper
ative. Even if petitions with the sufficient
number of signatures, namely, 4600, have
been prepared and filed in the constitu
tional manner, the genuineness of tho
signatures Is very likely to be attacked
in the courts. Are all the signers legal
voters? Are the signatures genuine? Are
not some signatures duplicated? Are all
the signatures attached to the petition as
their owners wrote them or have they
been inserted or pasted In? Are the peti
tions drawn up In a proper manner?
These and many other questions will as
sail any petition. The law supplement
ing the amendment guards against fraud
and prescribes the form of the petitions.
It requires any person who circulates a
petition to be a notary public and to cer-
31. C Humphrey, who left bis wife
and six children.
tlfy "that I am personally acquainted -with
each of the following named electors
whose signatures are affixed to the an
nexed netltlon. and I know of my own
knowledge that they are legal voters of
the State of Oregon, and of the county
and precincts written after their several
names in the annexed petition and that
their residence and postofflce address is
correctly stated therein."
The law eays further that only 20 sig
natures shall be affixed to one sheet of
the petition and that tho spaces for all
plgnatures shall be numbered. The law
also provides how and when the Gov
ernor shall proclaim a referendum and
how the election' shall be held.
None of these safeguards is contained
in the amendment itself. The amendment
provides simply: "Petitions md orders
for the initiative and for the referendum
shall be filed with the Secretary of State
and In submitting the same to tho people,
he and all other officers shall be guided
by the general laws and the act submit
ting this amendment until legislation shall
be especially provided therefor."
But there are no "general laws" to
guide state officers; neither are there
"general laws" prescribing the form of
tho petitions. The Secretary has the
power to reject a petition which he does
not approve. And how the Supreme Court
woul'd dispose of an appeal from the Sec
retary of State Is a matter of conjecture.
Could petitions for referendum be died
HANCOCK CLARK. .
after the 00-day limit, the law supple
menting the amendment could be em
ployed. But at the end of the 90-day
limit the laws are beyond the reach of
the referendum.
All the foregoing Is written on tho as
sumption that the amendment is valid.
But there is a strong opinion that It is
unconstitutional, because it was proposed
In violation of tho state constitution
which inhibits any amendment while
other, amendments are pending; because
it violates the Federal Constitution which
guarantees every state a republican form
of government and because it is incon
sistent In many ways with parts of the
state constitution.
GOOD WORK FOR. THE FAIR
Press and Publicity Committee Made
Active Campaign for Convention.
The credit for bringing the National
convention of the Order of Railway Con
ductors to Portland in 1905 belongs to the
committee on press and publicity of the
Lewis and Clark Fair. The committee
took the initiative in the matter and mado
It possible for tho delegates from Port
land to present a strong front at Pitts
burg and ultimately to land the prize.
The details of the campaign of the local
delegation were arranged at a conference
with the committee on press and publicity
of which I. N. Fleischner is chairman and
Paul Wcsinger and Leo Frlede members.
The delegates from Mt. Hood division No.
91, who waged tho successful fight, aro
J. W. Crocker, J. J. Fitzgerald and E. A.
Clem.
The three conductors from Portland
were supplied with funds, buttons, adver
tising Portland and the Lewis and Clark
Fair, and a mass of literature descriptive
of this city and the surrounding country.
They were given every possible encour
agement the committee could suggest and
every request was granted.
The press and publicity committee made
a strong campaign In favor of Portland
for the 1905 meeting, Realizing that to
bring 2000 or more railway conductors to
this city would be one of the greatest ad
vertisements the Fair could have.
The conductors represent all parts of
tho American continent and aro expected
not only to talk a great deal of their

will also speak of It after their return.
The conductors convention will be held
early In tho Summer so the trainmen will
see the Fair and return to their homes In
time to tell of Its beauties to travelers
they meet on the trains.
No other class of men meet so many
people during the course of a year as the
railway conductors, and this was one of
tho strong Teasans - why the preso and
publicity committee Insisted upon an
active campaign to bring the convention

Xo Xeeil to Pay More Than the
Woolen Mill's Price.
The Brownsville Woolen Mills aro mak
ing the best offer on men's clothing of any
firm in Portland. 510.00, $12.50. $15.00, $160
and $20.00 far fine, pure wool and hand
tailored clothing Is fully onothlrd less
than -what other stores charge for the
same grade of goods.
They make these low prices on account
of being manufacturers and selling most
ly at wholesale. They consider it better
to sell large quantities of goods at a
small profit than to sell a few at a large
profit. A sample of the suits can be seen
In the windows of their retail store, on
Washington street, between First and
Second streets.
Three highwaymen held up a Vancouver
car last evening at Jennings station, neir
Woodlawn, and robbed the passengers of
$140 and a wedding ring, tho piece of Jew
elry being the property of Mrs. M. E.
Cuthburt, of Oregon City, the only wo
man on the car.
The robbery occurred at 10:10, while car
No. 49 was on its way from the Vancou
ver ferry to Portland. Conductor F. T.
Shaw and Motorman George Marshall
were in charge of the car. As It neaxed
Jennings station the motorman saw three
men upon the platform. Not suspecting
any trouble, he stopped and the men
swung upon the rear platform. Then Con
ductor Shaw found a pistol pointed at his
face, and tho order came for every one to
hold up his hands.
The conductor and the motorman were
brought inside, and together with the
eight passengers were forced to stand In
line -while the tallest robber went through
their clothing. In the neighborhood of
$140 was secured by the daring highway
men. besides the wedding ring of Mrs
Cuthburt.
Then tho robbers left the car, scrambled
over the high bank and disappeared In
the direction of St. Johns. Gradually the
conductor and motorman recovered from
their scare and started onco more for the
city, arriving at First and Washington
streets shortly before 11 o'clock.
The robbers took nothing but money
and the wedding ring. No watches were
taken from their owners, nor were any
other pieces of Jewelry molested.
The eight passengers on the car were:
Ray Case, who lost $2.25; R. H. Kramery,
who lost $44; John Cayton, $40; F. Sreder,
$12; Louis Tescher, amount unknown; Mrs.
M. E. Cuthburt, of Oregon City, $15 and
her gold wedding ring; Theodore Ross,
employed by Allen &. Lewis, $15; F. Moner,
amount unknown.
Conductor Shaw was forced to part with
nearly $20 belonging to his employers, the
Portland Railway Company. Motorman
Marshall came off the easiest of all, los
ing only 75 cents.
So far as Mr. Sbaw was able to learn all
the passengers, except Ross and Mrs.
Cuthburt, were strangers In Portland.
They could make no resistance, and the
money was taken away before they
scarcely knew what had happened.
The cupidity of the highwaymen was
aroused by the gold wedding ring. Mrs.
Cuthburt thought that her sex would pro
tect her from any further molestation
after her purse and its contents had been
surrendered, but the tall highwaymanjs
eye caught the glint of tho ring, and off
it came, while the Indignant male pas
sengers could only look on, powerless to
protect the woman.
The two shorter robbers wore handker
chiefs around their faces. The taller man,
who went through the pockets of the
frightened passengers, disdained to wear
a mask of any kind. His face, however,
was powdered and painted until recogni
tion was almost Impossible. All wero
dressed in black. While ho searched tho
pockets of tho Iined-up passengers, his
companions stood guard at the doors that
none might escape. Cowered by the pistols
which each held ready for instant use,
neither the carmen nor tho men passen
gers were in any position for resistance.
"I thought little of the men getting on
the car until I was introduced to a pistol
pointed right at my head," said Conductor
ShaW. "They lined us up and went
through our pockets, and when they were
through dropped off upon the platform
Just as they had come, climbed over the
bank and disappeared. That was the last
we saw of them. It did not take five min
utes for the whole operation, for the car
which was to pass us waited only a min
ute or' two. We left the ferry slip at 9:45,
and the hold-up took place at 10:10. Jen
nings Station is in a deep cut, and so it
was hard to tell In which direction the
men went when they left us."
The police knew nothing of the robbery
until Mr. Ross called at the station when
the car reached the city. Jennings Sta
tion is the first stop south of Woodlawni
and Is within the city limits. It Is near
the gravel pits, and the track for some
distance goes between high banks. Owing
to these banks, a thick darkness covered
the movements of the robbers most effec
tually, and they could not be traced last
night.
Stolen Harness Unclaimed. .
A set of stolen harness Is waiting at the
police station for an owner to claim It.
Tho harness was brought In together with
a number of other stolen articles, but thug
far no owner has appeared. The harness
Is for a single rig, of the side check style,
with a silver catch over each check rein
near the head. If the owner proves the
property the harness Is his.
Ills Pockets Picked.
G. W. Mlnkler, a clothing dealer, was
robbed on an Oregon City car Tuesday
night, his pocket being picked of $30.

WOMEN OIIGAXIZE A STATE DE
PARTMENT. Mrs. Robert Lutke,' of Portland, to
Ilend Organization AfflHnted With.
Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Several hundred enthusiastic women as
sembled In tho Unitarian Chapel yester
day and effected the organization of a
Woman's State Department of the 'Lewis
and Clark Exposition.
Mrs. Robert Lutke, of this city, was
elected president of the .organization.
Mra. D. A. Payne, ot Eugene; Mrs. A. H.
Breyman, Mra W. A. Mears, Mrs. George
Harding, of Oregon City; Mra. J.C.Cooper,
of McMInnvllle; Mrs. H. B. Thlelson, of
Salem, and Mrs. Wlllam Galloway, ,of Or
egon City, are vice-presidents of the or
ganization. Mrs. Sarah. A. Evans, of
Oswego1, and iMrs. Cleveland Rockwell
were. elected secretary and treasurer.
The morning session was called to order
by Chairman J. C Cooper, of - the. Lewis
and Clark committee, and later Mrs. "Will
iam Galloway, of Oregon City, was mado
temporary chairman, with Mrs. Sarah A.
Evans as secretary.
Mrs. Galloway said that she had been
so much In evidence lately In Lewis and
Clark work that she would much prefer
to remain quietly In tho ranks, but ap
preciated the honor and thanked the
women present.
A prominent visitor to the convention
was Mrs. C. B. Wade, of Pendleton, presi
dent of the State Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Mra. Galloway, Mrs. Eva Emery Dye,
Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Edyth Tozier
Weatherred were made delegates at large,
and the Lewis and Clark committee on
woman's work were made honorary mem
bers of the convention. Mrs. Harding, of
Oregon City; Mrs. J. S. Cooper, of Inde
pendence, and Mrs. Robert Lutke were
made a committee on credentials. Mrs.
Weatherred made" an address In which she
said that she was decidedly opposed to the
formation of a permanent organization at
the present time, as such action would
not be showing courtesy to the women
throughout the state who have not yet
had opportunity to Join Lewis and Clark
clubs.
Mrs. Weatherred Is In constant receipt
of letters urging her to come to various
parts of the state to organize clubs.
Among the places not yet visited are:
Prairie City, Yaqulna Bay. Tillamook,
Heppner, The Dalles. Fos3ll, Arlington,
Burns, Prlnevllle and Sumpter. In Hepp
ner 150 women have signified their Inten
tion to Join the club.
During the afternoon meeting there were
Interesting addresses by Mrs. Weatherred,
Mrs. Maria L. Trenholme Hidden,' of Van
couver; Mrs. Eva Emery Pye. of Oregon
City, and Mrs. J. B. Montgomery, who
has Just arrived from St. Louis.
The women were all Interested in the
Sacajawea souvenir buttons displayed at
the convention, and Mrs. Dye. whose ad
dress yesterday was' about her famous
heroine. Sacajawea, whom she calls the
Pocahontas of the West, told a witty
story about the model who posed for
Major Moorehouse's picture, which, ap

The picture - was taken in Mrs. Dye's

decked out in such' impromptu Indian
draperies as could be secured at short
notice, but was an Immense success, and

Dye, "and If any of you ever go there
I want you to ask for Sacajawea."
For the benefit of the uninitiated It Is
stated that the correct pronunciation of
the aforesaid name Is "Sackajaweea,"
with the accent on the "wee."
Mrs. A. H. Breyman, of the committee
who are getting up the entertainment
for the Sacajawea statue fund, said that
the date of the performance has been
postponed a week later. An Inter
estlng climax to the programme will be
the tableau of the Indian heroine, with
an accompaniment of a song written in
honor of the occasion by Miss ZIpporah
Harris, of this city.
Mrs. J. B. Montgomery was asked to
tell something about her experiences in
the Eastern cities, and said that as con
cerned tho St. Louis Fair there was just
one word she could use In. describing it,
and that was "stupendous."
At St. Louis she said that the man
agers of the exposition had feltthat there
was no reason why women's work should,
be separated from that of men, and that
in consequence! they had 'only arranged
one woman's building, and that one to
be used merely for social purposes. She
gave a brief but very entertaining de
scription of the buildings at St. Louis,
which are to be turned over to Washing
ton University, and will be a permanent
memorial of the great exposition.
