4 "F sstw; 10 XHE MOBNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1903. ARE SLOW TO ELECT Lewis and Clark Directors Choose No President HEAD TO BE ACTIVE OR NOMINAL? Question o Principal 0clal' Datlea a SerioHH One, Wlilcli Causes De lay la Hir Selection Matter Referred to Committee. The directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair will not organize until July 34, -when a special committee -will report upon the question of centralizing authority and re sponsibility for th -work at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. In the meantime H. W. Scott has been made temporary chairman of the Fair board. The question the .directors are to decide is whether the president shall be the act ive head of the Exposition and direct all its affairs, superintend the expenditure of all moneys and give up practically all of his time toward making the Exposition a success, or whether he will be merely the head of the corporate body, and the work of directing the Exposition's affairs shall he left to the director-general. In the event the president of the board is to be charged with the duty of superin tending the entire work of the Exposition, it was decided yesterday an executive would have to be chosen with particular reference to his ability as a director-general of such an enterprise as the Lewis and Clark Centennial. . A special commit tee, consisting of H. W. Scott, W. D. Fen ton, Paul Wesslnger, J. C. Ainsworth and Judge Rufus Mallory. as named to pass upon this question and suggest the name of a candidate for president. The direc tors Trill act upon this report two weeks later. The sentiment of yesterday's meeting Indicates clearly that either an active business man and Fair director will bo selected as president and charged with the duties of directing the entire work of the. Lewis and Clark Fair, or a corporate head of the organization will be selected to perform the Incidental duties of the head of a corporation, while a director general exercises supervision over the Fair management. There are precedents for either plan. Most expositions have had both a president and director-general, hut President Francis, of the St. Louis Fair, is acting as director-general for that enterprise. The postponement of the regular organi zation of the directors necessarily" delayed consideration of some other questions, but as was explained yesterday, the only prog ress that could be made at present -was in the line of forcing work at the Exposition grounds. This is being done and -will continue to be done under the direction of Superintendent Oskar Huber, so no time is lost by waiting to settle upon a policy regarding the presidency. The appointment of N. J. Levinson as director of the bureau of publicity was confirmed by the board, at the suggestion of Chairman L N. Flelschner of the com mittee on press and publicity. Director AV. W, Cotton, elected on July 6, tendered his resignation yesterday. Mr. . Cotton stated that he was residing in the country during the Summer and was un able to attend the meetings of the board. During the Winter Mr. Cotton expects to he absent in the East upon a prolonged vacation, and. would not be able to give the affajrs of the Exposition his, attention. He stated he would give way to some one who could give more time to the work. . The resignation was not acted upon yes terday. The special committee appointed to report upon the presidency is also charged -with the duty of recommending a successor to Mr. Cv ctors "W. D. Wheelright and H. L. Corbett, who are out of the city, ha've not yet qualified as directors, but they are expected to accept the responsibility. The third assessment upon the stock subscriptions was ordered levied and made payable on October 1. The committee on ways and means had previously agreed upon this date, and the hoard promptly ratified the action. It was decided to give five handsomely lithographed admittance tickets to those stockholders who paid thci- subscriptions In full on or before November 15. Chair man Fenton, ij - 3 and 'means com mittee, stated that this Inducement -would probably be sufficient to bring in the final payments on stock holdings by the ma jority of small shareholders. The third assessment is to be paid October 1, and those who have made small subscriptions will have but a slight amount in addition to pay in order to entitle them to the five free admittances. The tickets will be transferable, though each will bear the name of the person to whom it was is sued. A warrant .for $500, the amount of the Lewis and Clark subscription to the Pres idential receptidn fund, was ordered de livered whenever the flags used during the celebration are turned over to Super intendent Oskar Huber. Hereafter the "flags will not "be loaned to any one. The question as to the advisability of perfecting the permanent organization of the board of directors was suggested by Acting President H. W. Scott He sug gested that many of the directors might desire further time to consider the advan tage of different plans, and stated that lew consultations .had been held on the subject, giving but little opportunity to -canvass the situation. Continuing, " Mr. Scott said: "In the election of a president, the ques tion Is to be considered whether you want a president who is expected to take charge of the details of the work and be respon sible for It, whether he Is to look after It in a business, executive and financial way and see that it is executed creditably. Such a duty is a very heavy one. 1 ques tion my own fitness for such a position. I question my owrf efficiency for it. My whole life, as you ah know, has been In one line; that I have been able to attend to, but I have not got beyond it, "Several members, in fact, every mem ber who has spoken to me about It, sug gested that I accept the presidency. I would rather that It would go to some one else. I never wish to shirk any responsi bility that comes to me or that I feel that I ought to perform. At the same time it seemed to me that,' if possible, a man ought to be elected to the presidency of this board of directors who will be able to take charge and direct Its business, see to it throughout and be responsible for it. The president will naturally be held for a very large responsibility in the matter. "Much must devolve upon the superin tendent or director-general. Now, I should 2iot have so much reluctance, so far as I am concerned, or would have had before, when it was brought up .vme few months ago or more, if I could suppose that the part required of me In this matter would be only formal and perfunctory. If, how ever, the president Is expected, as I think 2ie ought to be, to take hold of the busi ness and see it through, I am confident that I am not the man you ought to elect, and I question if I should be elected. I lay it before you Just as I feel, and these considerations are the considerations that move me to suggest that possibly you may want to have further conference on this subject," W. D. Fenton concurred with Acting President Scott in the view he had taken of the situation., "I appreciate the deli cacy of the' situation," he stated, "and share with the president to a large extent his hesitancy to act immediately. "Jt the president Is- to be in the future, as he has been in the past, merely- the head of the corporate- body and ex-ofScio member of all the standing committees, the question is not a serious one. But if ho is to be made personally responsible for the expenditure of moneys and the direction of the Fair work it will require a great deal of his time, and very few men would be able to accept the position. If we could secure some good, strong man who could fill the position it might be a good idea to do so. But whether we fol low that plan or elect a director-general, an assistant must be given him, for the work will be stupendous. I believe myself the best Interests of all concerted would be subserved by the appointment of a committee, of which the acting president will be chairman, to consider the matter and report, say, on July 24." Without further discussion this was the plan agreed upon. DAIRYMEX WAXT $103,000. ?10,000 for Premiums on Livestock $5000 for Working Tests. The dairymen want the State Lewis and Clark Commission to appropriate $3000 for the purpose of carrying on a SO days working test of various herds of milch cows raised in this state and to appro priate $100,000 to pay for premiums given for livestock exhibited during the Ex position. These two requests were made by a meeting of dairymen held yesterday at the Lewis' and Clark headquarters. The argument was put forth that the dairying industry of the state was one of the chief KANGAROORANAWAY Member of Carnival Mena gerie Captured After Chase, SEESAW CONTEST FOR QUEEN Mrs. .

ANXIOUS TO GIVE ALARM TWO COMPANIES WOULD WARN CITY' OF FIRES. Committee Thinks, -as , Department Has Its Ojvn Wires Xevr, One Private System Is EnoHgk. The fire committee of the Executive Board, backed by the Judgment of Mayor Williams, believes that one fire-alarm-system in addition to that of the city's is all that Portland requires for the pres ent. The American District Telegraph Com pany has for the past two weeks been en deavoring to secure the privilege from the fife committee of communicating the alarms which come in over its proposed new system to the fire department by means of a wire and character wheel. The arguments of the representative of this- company, Mr. Reed, were heard yesterday afternoon, as well as those of H. W. Goode, who represented the National Au tomatic Alarm Company of Oregon. The plans of both companies were fully ex plained, and after the alarm men with drew, the committee and Mayor Williams decided that no direct communication could be allowed with the fire department, but that alarms could be sent by tele phone. It is the intention of the American Dis trictTe'legraph Company to install a night watchmen patrol service, with the flVe alarms as an adjunct. The alarms would be sent directly to the office of the com pany, and from there transmitted to the fire department by means of a character wheel indicating exactly where the fire is situated. The private alarm service now In use Is composed of two systems one the auto matic, which rings in an alarm when the temperature In a certain room or floor is above the normal; the other is that pro posed to be soon installed by the same company. The city alarm boxes are to be made auxiliaries and wires run out to smaller boxes, which will be paid for by subscribers. A call from one of the small boxes on this circuit will urn in an alarm from the city box. Before this privilege was granted the company had to agree that he new boxes Installed by them In place of the city boxes should always remain the property of the city. The old . boxes taken out might thus be placed in other localities Instead of buying new ones. As the alarm boxes cost 5175 each, this' was a dis tinct saving to the city. As the system proposed by Mr. Reed gave no particular benefit to the city ex cept to give the alarm morcrapidly, he re , eelved little encouragement. As the American District Telegraph Company in Portland is nothing but an offshoot of the Western Union Company, the advantage. If there was one, was given to the local company. , mainstays of Oregon, and that from a taxpaying standpoint the appropriations would not exceed the proportion to which dairymen and stockralsers were entitled. The meeting was not largely attended, less than a dozen being present, whereas the state commission had expected fully 50 to attend. Those who were present were representative stockmen, and spoke for the various livestock and dairying or ganizations of the state. It was decided to ask for a working ex hibit to last for 30 days, beginning on September L The first recommendation was that the exhibit should be given earlier during the Exposition, but t was deemed inadvisable to attempt the display until Fall. The authorities of the Oregon Agricul tural College will be in charge of the exhibit They may delegate authority to some other persons to take partial charge, but it Is likely that the tests will be made, by college officials. Ten cows from each herd are to be chosen. The original suggestion was for six, but it was not believed that six would make a favorable showing, nor could satisfactory results from experi ments be obtained from smaller herds. Commissioner Scott Is satisfied that many Eastern stockgrowers and dairy men will make exhibits at the Lewis and Clark Fair. If this is done it will en able stockmen of this state to draw com parisons between stock raised -here and the herds bred in Eastern states. A test of 3-year-old heifers Is to be made during the progress of the dairy men's exhibit. A meeting of the Oregon Livestock Breeders' Association is to be called for August 15. At this time It is likely the plans for the Lewis and Clark Fair dis play will be brought up again and some further suggestions may be- made. ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN Two Within Feiv Days on North Shore Railroad Cause Alarm. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. The three recent mysterious wrecks on the North Shore Railroad, with the record of death and suffering, are now believed to have been the work of a cold-blooded traih wrecker, who may have had accomplices, but whose motives are unknown. It has been learned that .within the past two days two unsuccessful attempts have been made to derail trains near where the previous disasters occurred. Some days ago a freight train running south was brought to a sudden stop on a curve south of. Camp Plstolesl. The Jar was heavy and nearly lifted the engine from the rails. The train was proceeding at the time at about one-fourth its usual speed, and to this fact alone Is attributed the averting of a serious wreck. Upon examination it was found that a heavy piece of steel rail had been lashed across and to the rails. It was securely fastened in position by heavy wrappings of stout wire. It was Jammed under the forward trucks of the engine, and was with diffi culty removed by the alarmed trainmen. The piece of rail was taken to the Sau salito offices of the company. This attempt was followed by another yesterday morning. Had it not been for the fact that a handcar passed over the track before the passenger trains reached J tne point wnere tne wrecK was planned, there would have been another disaster. The handcar was thrown from the track, and one of the section hands was severely injured. An Investigation disclosed an old draw bar, used for coupling, securely tied inside the railing in such a position as to pass unnoticed, save under close Inspection. Had a train passed over It to destruction, the piece of Iron would have been twisted and thrown into the debris of the wreck, and the cause of the disaster following the striking of the obstruction would never have been discovered". General Manager Rank said today: "We are making every effort to find the guilty party or parties, and I regret ex ceedingly that the matter has been made public before any arrests have been made." brought to bay under one of the cage wagons. The picture of Trainer Katool, that ap pears la today's Issue, shows him holding one of the thrjje baby leopards with the Southern Carnival Company. The three little "tabbys" were born on March 15, and are the only baby leopards that were ever born and have lived in captivity in America. They are treacherous little cre atures, and seem to hate Katool as much as their beautiful motherv Kate, does, yet display an affection equal to their hate when handled by the little 14-year-old girl who performs in the cage with throe large leopards at the coming carnival. While the carnival people and the Woodmen are preparing the grounds, the contestants for queenly honors are mak ing the chips fly as only Women of Wood craft can. After two days campaigning, Mrs.. Emma I. Jackson has regained first place Jn the contest, leading Miss Elsa C. Morgan, the second contestant, by a ma jority of 536 votes. Mrs. Jackson's friends are loyal and expect to see her crowned 'at the coming carnival. Miss Morgan Is also a popular and beautiful young lady, and If elected will make an ideal Queen. She, too, has loyal supporters, who are determined to see their fair candidate elected. Miss Eula Bennett, who holds third place, with 2076 votes, la still looked upon as a dangerous candidate for the carnival throne. She is the fortunate pos sessor of a beautiful voice, which, with her charming personality, has made her one of Portland's most promising vocal ists and a favorite in social circles. That several of the contestants are holding a reserve fund to be placed at the last moment has grown from a rumor to an actual fact. Responsible parties are quoted as having stated that two of the candidates, as yet not considered in the race, have enough votes to give them sev eral thousand majority over the present leader of the contest. The polls will close at their various lo cations promptly at 10 o'clock tonight One of the carnival directors will be pres ent at each poll when they are declared closed, and, after the seal of the propri etor of the location has been placed on the poll boxes, the directors will hurry with the boxes to the office of I. W. Baird, room 325, Chamber of Commerce building, who has charge of the voting contest. Here another ballot box will be open un- In that vicinity he Is wanted for four murders in Florida. The prisoner's picture was taken and sent to McHenry. and has been Identified as that of the murderer wanted. The au thorities there have wired back that requi sition papers have been secured and sent. They are expected to reach here by the end of the week, and Oglesby will at once be taken to Mississippi for his trial. While here Oglesby received letters from his brother in Florida addressed to "Ed Jackson.' Oglesby has been kept In solitary con finement since he was arrested and thrown into jail July 1. Tho morning after his arrest he was arralgnedln Police Court on the charge of vagrancy and his case was continued. He was given no Inkling of the real nature of the suspicions held against him. He sent for the Marshal several times, and yesterday the latter went to see him, and Oglesby partially tola his story. "Is Jackson your real name?" asked the Marshal. "Yes," was the reply. "Some people say that your name Is Oglesby." "Well, if they -say so they ought to know." "Did you ever have any other nick names?" He then admitted that he Is known as "Florida Pop," "Old Pop" and also as Ed Jackson. After a few more questions he admit ted - having gotten into trouble with a woman in McHenry. He would talk very little about the affair, but said that it was the result of a quarrel; that the woman came after him with a gun, anu that he grabbed it and shot her. "Did you kill her?" asked the Chief. "I don't know," was the reply. "I got scared and ran away." Later Oglesby did not object to the etatement that he had killed the woman, or that his right name was Oglesby. Ilnndsome .Residence Darned. NEW WESMINSTER. B. C. July 10. (Special.)

Among other questions of minor import ance, the street committee of the Council yesterday wrestled with that of a small angle at the intersection of Seventh and Ankeny streets. Whether this tiny angle should be paved by the property owners of Ankeny street, of Pine street, of Seventh fitreet, or by the City of Portland, was the question which perplexed the minds of the warm and perspiring Councilmen. After a number of diagrams had been drawn by City Engineer Elliott, Deputy Auditor Grutze remembered that the city owned the angle In question. "Well, if that's the case, why wouldn't a fountain be a good thing right there?" asked Mr. Rumclln, who is the chairman of this committee. Thla suited the members right down 4o tl ground, but the never-falling question of cost bobbed up. and Mr. Rumelln's plans for the alleviation of thirst went a-glimmcrlng. That a few trees In front of the building of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society might be spared, the line of East Twenty-Ninth street, which Is being cut through, was moved three fe'et to one side. The prop er owners on the other side of the high way donated Jhree feet that the street might be widened from that side. Mr. Drew, who owns property a little away from the jog, appeared at the meeting yes terday to protest against the" turn being allowed. "It will throw all the travel In front of my ground and ruin it," was his plea. "The City Engineer made a thorough In vestigation of the premises before the street was surveyed out in that manner, and I have looked over the survey," said City Attorney L. A. McNary. "I think that any objection made against it Is simply whimsical." It was the general Impression that Mf. Drew did not like the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society as near neighbors and took this means of setting at naught one of the plans of the manager. "I move that we all go out and look at this street," said John P. Sharkey. "I won't second that motion, because it isn't worth It," replied Fred T. Merrill. "We might take one of Mr. Merrill's au tomobiles,' said somebody, but the man with the spark wagon turned down the suggestion. Finally Drew agreed to talk over the matter with Superintendent W. T. Gardner A petition was received from Wilson Benefiel and others asking that the cement sidewalk district extend to the east side of East Twentieth street, between East Stark street and Hawthorne avenue. The present boundary is the west side of East Twentieth street, and the dwners on that side believe it unfair that they should be forced to put down cemert, while their neighbors may still drop planks Into the mud. "Oh, If It's anything In the line of im provement, do let's allow it," declared Mr. Rumelln, and the others agreed with him. Misa Cro-jvley ftneen of Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 10. (Special.)
