12 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1903. NEW TRIAL IS GIVEN Marshal Richards, of Alaska,, Wins on Appeal. CELEBRATED CASE FROM NOME Iiongr-Pcndlnp Real Estate Content1, at Pendleton Decided Airirument In FnraouH Smith-Dnyf Dam age Snlt Heard. The United States Circuit Court of Ap-, peals for the Ninth Circuit sat in this city yesterdav. handed down a number of opln- j Jons and heard arguments in two cases. The court was composed of Judge W. B. ; Gilbert, of Portland, Judge "V. W. M"or- row, of San Francisco, and. Judge Erskine, 3a. Ross, of Los Angeles, Judge Gilbert presiding. The first case decided was that of Frank H. Richards vs. the United States of America, which, came up on error from the United States District Court. Rich erds, the plaintiff in error, was formerly United States Marshal of the District of Alaska for the Second Division, and was prosecuted and convicted under the pro visions of chapter 58 of the Code of Alaska upon an information charging him with contempt of court. On April 17, 1902, the- case of the United States, vs. Joseph H. Wright, at that tlmo postmaster at Nome, came up for trial. "Wright was charged with embez zling public funds belonging to the money order department of the Nome postofflce. "When a jury was drawn, the regular panel was exhausted and the Assistant United States District Attorney moved for an or der directing Richards, as Marshal, to euramon talesmen from the body of the 'district to complete the Jury. It was charged that Richards conspired with Wright and Joseph D. Jourden to de feat the ends of Justice .md secure the acquittal! of "Wright by such men from the bystanders as were known to be friendly to "Wright, i He arranged to have the men present, lths alleged, and in selecting the talesmen, linstead of taking them from the dlstrlct-at-tlarge and refraining from call ing In bystanders, as the court directed, lie chose men who were in the conspiracy and who had been in attendance upon the trial. On the previous trial Richards was convicted, although, sentence was sus pended. s The Court 'of Appeals, In tho opinion ianoed dosvn (yesterday, finds that the evi dence wasi not. sufficient to sustain a con viction on so grave a charge. Accordingly, the judgment of the lower court was re versed and the case remanded for trial. This case was the sensation of North ern Alaska at the time of the trial on account of- the position Richards occupied In the politics of the territory. He was receatiy acquitted of similar charges by the"1 authorities at "Washington and the ac tion of the court yesterday comes in the jiafcuse of an additional vindication. In. e matter of Benjamin M. Lombard. uFraiVkSIn S. Akin, as administrator of the -estate of Letitia Lombard, deceased, and ChaAes H. Lombard, substituted for Leti tia Lombard, appellants, vs. Lewis McAr 'thur l-.a Dow and the North American Trust Company, a partition case, the court c'oclded that Lewis McArthur La Dow was owner in fee simple of the dis puted rail estate -and ordered the property Bold to satisfy a mortgage of $16,300 held by tho American Trust Company. This affirms the decision rendered by the Cir cuit Court of Umatilla County, sustained In appeal by the Supreme Court of Ore gon. The property in question is lots 3, 4, 5, C, 7, S,9 and 10, of block S. of the city of Pendfetcci, and the decision finally disposes of the matter after almost con tinuous litigation dating from August. 1S00. The action of Andrew Saling vs. Louis Philip Bolander grew out of the owner ship of two insurance policies, aggre gating $4,210, made by the Mutual Life In surance Company in favor of Henry N. IBolander. The latter died some time ago, leavir.g a number of heirs. Louis Philip Bolander, acting as executor of the estate, took possession of the policies as a part of the assets, nd held them as such. An drew Saling, on"i of the heirs, accordingly "brought a replevin action to recover the amount of the pol'des. The inferior court decided that the policies were properly a .part of the asset"? of the estate, and the plaintiff appealed. Th decision of the .lower court was affirmed. At the morning session arguments wero lheard in the case of Henry Smith vs. J. G. and L N. Day, for personal damages. This case has been in the courts since 1896 and lias attracted wide attention. Smith al leges that he was struck by a stone thrown iby a blast during the -work on the Cascade Locks. The Days were the con tractors in charge and Smith was a pas senger on a boat passing through the locks. He alleges that he received seri ous injuries and brought suit against the contractors. He failed to recover in the United States District Court and carried the case to the United States Circuit Court. After three trials. Judgment for $2000 was rendered for the defendant. On a subsequent trial the judgment was set aside and now the matter comes before tire Court of Appeals. In the afternoon arguments were heard in the case of Meyer, "Wilson & Co., as claimants of the ship Matterhom, and J. "Wesley Ladd, surety, vs. Fritz Adolfsen. Adolfsen was a sailor on the Matterhom and claims damages for criminal neglect of the ship's master In not providing him with proper medical attendance after In dicting serious bodily injuries upon him. Judge Bellingere, of the United States Dis trict Court, rendered a verdict of $500 as damages and the ship's owners took an .appeal. y Decisions in the cases argued yesterday -will not be handed down for some months and the calendar being exhausted, the court adjourned at 3:30 without day. The three distinguished jurists composing it will leave at once for San Francisco, to resume their sittings. LIBRARY EXAMINATION. Dozen H'onngr Women Will Compete for Two Vacancies. About a do2en young women will -take the examination for positions as assistant librarians in the Portland Library this morning at 9 o'clock and this afternoon at 2. There are two vacancies, owing to the resignation of Miss Irons and Miss Spen cer. The two candidates passing the best examinations will be taken mto the libra ry staff at once, and the other successful ones "will be put upon a reserve llst and at the first of the year will enter an ap prentice class. The library is exceedingly popular now adays, and Miss Isom and her capable corps of assistants are constantly adding improvements which are valuable help to students and booklovers. Miss Bross, in charge of the magazine room, has established a bulletin of espe cially interesting magazine articles, on such topics as the Far East, the negro question, arts and artists, schools and the labor question. In the children's reading-room Miss Jassler has arranged a collection of tex tiles for the little students education and entertainment There is a set of photo graphs illustrating silk culture in Japan, and on the big fireplace are specimens of Kentucky hemp, Manila hemp. New Zea land hemp, "sisal," which is a fiber ob tained from cactus, and wool in various stages of the manufacturing process. The irbJldren are intensely interested n Miss Hassler's box of growing flax, and are eagerly waiting to see its blue blossoms. Besides the linen and wool specimens. Miss Hassler has an elaborate collection of silk products, secured from Mrs. Carrie "Williams, of San Diego, showing the prog ress of the precious silken threads from the silk moth's egg to the finished skein. Next week there will be an addition to the textile display in the children's room in the shape of a quantity of cotton products. DEDICATE NEW SCHOOL. People of Rusaellvllle Rejoice In Completion of Fine Bnildlnpr. The completion and occupation of the handsome seven-room schoolhouse at Russellvllle. on the Base Line road, were celebrated yesterday by the board of di rectors and the people, the feature of the exercises being the talk by County School Superintendent R. F. Robinson. From 1 until 4 in the afternoon residents of the district had the opportunity of inspecting the building, and short exercises were held from 2 until 3. Professor J. C. Croft presided and Directors H. J. Mickelson, chairman, Leander Lewis and B. Long nccker were present. The school opened with three teachers besides the principal Mrs. Ada Rider, A. Fletcher and Mary J. Peterson. After the singing of "America" Mr. Croft' spoke a few words of welcome and then Introduced Professor Robinson. After brief remarks by Chairman H. J. Mickelson the audience was dismissed. The cost of the building was $5300. It 'is provided -with an assembly hall in the 'basement with concrete floor, which will accommodate 600 people. The district levied a tax of 8 mills to make first pay ment, and issued warrants to the amoifht of $4000 to meet the remainder of the ob ligations, which will be taken up in the next two years. By economic and conserv ative management for the past 15 years jthe. district was in position to build with (little burden to the taxpayers. B. M. Em- erly, an ex-member of the board of dlrec ors, did much of the preliminary work. 'The school population is 270 and last year's enrollment was 170. Monument Asnoclntfon to Meet. The Lone Fir Monument Association will meet tomorrow evening in the hall of Sumner Post, G. A. R., on Union ave nue, to prepare a programme for the unveiling of the completed monument In Park block, in Lone Fir cemetery. All members are requested by President M. L. Pratt to attend. Mr. Pratt says that the bronze figure for the shaft is now eight days on the way and expected to arrive soon, but until it does arrive the tfme of the unveiling ceremonies cannot be fixed. At the monument the concrete sidewalk has been completed. East Side Note. Mrs. C. O. Hill, who has been visiting In San Francisco, has returned to her home. The dormitory 6f the Oddfellows' Home, near Kenllworth, Is Inclosed and the inside finishing- is now being done. The Board of Education will place a temporary school in the vicinltv nf v.nut Twenty-eighth street for small "pupils. It is expected that one of the Dortable ronm will be used. The 20-Inch water main is now hplntr laid on East Twenty-uighth street be tween iiast stark: street and Sandy road. Some fire hydrants will be placed on this main when it is completed. EXHIBITS FOR ST. LOUIS Commissioners Make Purchnxcs nt the Snlem Fair. The state commission in charge of the work of preparing an exhibit for the St. Louis fair has purchased nine exhibits made at the state fair in Salem. The total cost Involved was $1375. The displays secured Include every county exhibit and a number of private displays. Grasses, grains, fruits, vegetables and similar ex hibits are included in the list Among the displays are fruits preserved for exhibi tion purposes and others which were pre served ready for eating. Vegetables pre served for the table were also secured. Commissioners G. Y. Harry and Richard Scott and Secretary E. C. Glltner made the trip. They spent four days at Salem and gathered up all the best exhibits shown at the fair. All of the displays secured for the St Louis Exposition received hand some awards. One woman, for example, was paid $250 In prizes by the state fair officials and sold her exhibit to the state commission for an additional $200. The commission assured exhibitors that a similar trip will be taken next year and even more extensive purchases will be made. These will be secured for display at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in the Oregon buildings. The recognition of good exhibits at the state fair is expected to lead to a much better showing at Salem next year, which will enable the commis sion to add to its collection from new sources. The entire exhibit made by the Oregon Agricultural College at Salem was given to the state commission free of charge, and the officials In charge of the govern mental experiment, station at Union prom ised to duplicate its display for the benefit of the St Louis fair. President Jefferson Myers of the state commission is now attending the Harney County fair, where he will gather displays from Southeastern Oregon. The fair at The Dalles opens today, and commission ers will be sent there Immediately to make purchases. Commissioner "Williams Is to go into Klamath County to attend the fair at that place October 6, and a delegation will go from Portland to make purchases at the Eugene fair. It was believed by the commission that extensive displays could be procured from the state, country and district fairs which would greatly reduce the expense of col lecting an exhibit for St. Louis. The news that the commission intended to take this action had the effect at Salem of stimu lating exhibitors to show their best prod ucts, and if the success at the state fair is duplicated elsewhere the most valuable collections will be gathered from the fairs. In fact, the Oregon exhibit for St Louis could almost be made from these fairs. COURSES IN ENGINEERING -Important Addition to Studies nt Co lombia University. The Introduction of courses in civil en gineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering accounts consider ably for this year's Increased attendance at Columbia University. Until these courses were opened at University Park, Portland was without home facilities for these branches of college work. This year only students entitled to freshman standing are admitted to these courses. Those who begin this term will be advanced rapidly until graduation, four years hence. The young men of Portland who are unable to leave their homes during the school 5ear are welcom ing the opportunity to take up these standard courses so convenient to their homes. Freshman work Is also introduced in classics, English, general science, history and economics, finance and commerce in addition to the engineering courses above mentioned. These courses are open to high school graduates and all applicants who "have attained a corresponding grade in reputable preparatory schools. The academic courses at Columbia University are attended by a large number of stu dents who are doing their preparatory work for these collegiate courses. The ex pansion of the school In this respect Is looked upon as a principal cause for the large increase in attendance this year. The indications are that this Increase will reach 60 per cent, as it has now passed the 57 per cent mark. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is Catting: Teeth.

RUSH WORK ON '05 FAIR CONTRACTS ARB TO BE LET DURING THIS WEEK. Dredcingr and Diking? at Gnild Lake, Constructing; Water Tower and Supplying: Gravel. I Contracts will be let this week by Oskar Huber, director of works for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, for dredging neces sary at Guild Lake, diking, the construc tion of a water tower and the supply of between 5Q00 and 6000 yards of gravel. The water tower Is to be erected on the highest piece of ground in the Exposition tract Water is to be pumped Into this tower for use during the Fair. It will In crease the effectiveness of the fire pro tection system, and will be used as an ad junct to the Exposition's water system. The supply of gravel and the dredging and diking work is necessary to put Guild Lake into first-class condition. The lake, it is proposed, shall be made deeper in order to accommodate the craft that will ply on Its surface during the life of the Fair. The dikes will retain the water and will prevent overflow during flood days. The banks of the lake are to be graveled to resemble a sea beach. The gravel or dered now Is to be used in macadamizinz walks and drives. All of this work will be done at once, and Director Huber estimates that the contracts will have been completed by Christmas. In the estimates approved by the board of director?, $C000 was set aBlde for the construction of the water tower; $15,000 for macadamizing; $3172.81 for tho dikes; $9000 for dredging and filling tho water front, and $375 for a dam at the outlet of Guild Lake. "Work Is to be commenced at once under the direction of Director Huber on the sewer and water system, which are to be put In on the Fair grounds. The Fair offi cials plan to use both Bull Run and Wil lamette River water. They will have their own pumping plant, and will lay mains for fire protection as well as to provide the drinking water neccsasry during the Expo sition. The sewer and water systems will b ex pensive. It is estimated that $5S00 will be expended, on the sewer system on the mainland, $3900 for the system on the pen insula, and $1500 at the dairy farm. The water system will necessitate an outlay of $7845.50 for the gridiron system from the water tower. Including the fire hydrants: $32S5 for piping In connection with tho supply of Bull Run water, and $2987.50 will be needed to pay the expense of connections with the peninsula and pip ing on the peninsula. In addition to this Is the $6000 to be spent on the water tower, a work that Is to be done by contract. Mr. Huber, during the time he was work ing as general superintendent, completed practically all of the work that could be characterized as grading. A recent report showed that but $2240.44 of the appropria tion of $20,050 estimated to be necessary for the work remained on hand. A portion of this balance has already been expended. The director of works Is pushing the work of preparing the Fair grounds for the erection of buildings, and- will have his work- well In hand long before the end of the present year. When completed, Mr. Huber expects to have a perfect fire pro tection system Installed. Not only will there be a water system In operation on the grounds which Is prepared to furnish a strong head of water for direct connec tions at the hydrants, but In addition the Exposition officials Intend that a complete fire department shall be stationed there for use during an emergency. The work now In progress on the grounds was outlined In a general way In a report made by Mr. Huber several weeks ago. Appropriations to cover the expense were made as a result of the recommenda tions of Director-General H. W. Goode at a special meeting of the board of directors last week. Under the new plan of hasten ing the preparations for the Exposition, Director of Works Huber will be able to go ahead at the grounds as rapidly, as he can prepare for the Inauguration of new work. Heretofore formal approval has been necessary by the board of directors, but a repetition of this plan Is obviated by the approval of the entire scheme of Exposition work. The next important step to be taken in connection with the Fair will be made by the members of the State Commission. They are to meet Saturday to act upon the plans for the Administration building. These plans are now being prepared by Ion Lewis, director of architecture. The State Commission will make an appropri ation for the cost of the Administration building If the plans are favorably re ceived at Its Saturday meeting. The plan for the erection of the Fair buildings has not been outlined. The State Commission may erect the buildings Itself or It may constitute the board of direct ors of the Lewis and Clark corporation a contractor for the work. The Lewis and Clark corporation Is willing to accept this commission If the State Board believes -that system preferable. This matter may be determined In connection with the de cision to build the Administration build ing, though It could be postponed and a temporary arrangement made to cover the first building. The Administration building is to be rushed to an early completion, for the offi cials of both the State Commission and the Lewis and Clark corporation are anx ious to move Into permanent quarters.

Most piano buyers consider the quality of their purchase of paramount impor tance, at the same time having a care that the price asked for a particular instru ment Is fully correspondent with Its qual ity. This matter of certainty of the price fitting the quality is one' of the dilemmas every pluno buyer finds himself in. There are .-everal reasons for this condition of things, for which the blame majbe equal ly divided between the buyer and the dealer. In the first place, the buyer thinks that a piano Is not to oc trusted Just be cause he has never heard of it. He does not know that the two or three makes he knows something about have been over taken in the race by scores and scores of reliable makes of the highest attainable grade and musical merit. The writer has just counted off on his fingers no less than 49 makes of pianos, every one of the highest grade. I make bold to state that the average buyer can name over no more than six different makes, all told. So the chances are one in a hundred that he will run into dozens of makes of excellent Instruments before he will accidentally run into the make "Aunt Sarah had when I was a boy," all of which means doubt, worry, and perplexity, to him. There are very few dealers wno would sell you a cheap "box" In preference to a" high-grade instrument. If he does It It is in nine cases out of ten your own fault. Where most dealers make their mistake is In en couraging the buyer In his Incredulity by warning him not to buy a piano he knows nothing of, all because this dealer does not happen to handle the make of piano under discussion. Yet how natural it is when a prospective buyer shakes his head and draws a long breath every time a fair price is quoted on a high-grade piano, just because he "didn't know anything about that make," for a dealer in his disgust to appeal to the customer's pocketboolc, not ing an absence of good sense and sound Judgment to appeal to, and sell him an undesirable, cheap piano. Piano buyers, your greatest need during the purchase of your plan6 Is COMMON SENSE. Select a good bouse with a reputation for con servatism and reliability. If you want a piano of reliable grade, say so like a man, and when you have been shown by the talesman the leading goods of the house, don't thinkIt the proper thing to appear very wise by objecting to every thing he says and kicking on his price. Just as soon as you begin this sort of thinnr you lose the respect of the salesman in attendance upon you and your trade becomes to him a mere matter of personal gain, Instead of one of pride In his goods and his art. Gain the salesman's sym pathy and respect, let him know that you do not for a moment doubt the reliability of his house, in fact, make him feel like a man, and It's 999 times out of 1000 that you will make a far wiser purchase from every point of view Take the other way of doing it: Stir up all the dealers, show them ail that you believe all the world aisnonest, fight everybody and their price, and decency and regard for the greatest of all arts will give way to a feeling of commercial greed. In the selection of our pianos the matter of quality takes prece dence over all else. We would much rather sell a piano of high grade at a small profit than a cheap "box at a large profit. If we cannot supply a customer with a first-class piano for the amount of money he desires to put into one, we frankly tell him so. If we lose his deal by our frankness, we are sorry of course, but cap't help It. Some dealers, on the other hand, will guarantee anything, their policy being like that of the Chicago mer chant, "get the money honestly if you can, but get the money." Our salesmen fully understand our policy on this point. Their instructions are same price quota tion to all every piano In its class regard less of circumstances above ail else, the truth first, last and all time.
