REPORT MADE TO COUNCIL FuH-Pald Fire Department Is Recom mended and Stationing of Two Firemen In Uniform at Each Theatrical Performance. HOW THE THE ATKRS ABE TO BE CHANGED. MARQUAM Wooden structures on Al der. Seventh and Sixth streets to be removed or better protected; outside exit stairways to be straightened and two additional Installed; automatic eprinkler to be placed over stage, and skylight enlarged; two more Aisles to be opened In the" parquet around the boxes; new audience exit opened through the musicians door way: wiring to be changed and re newed. THE BAKER Two additional doors of Thlrd-stret front: several aisles straightened; automatic enlarged sky light; fireproof boiler-room; north ex it to be widened eight feet; all posts be removed from aisles. CORD RAT'S Rubbish In various places to be removed; additional ex its to be Installed and the house generally altered so as to comply with present building and fire ordinances. ARCADE Fire-fighting appliances to be placed: center aisle to be straight ened; automatic ventilator In roof over stage. Numerous minor changes are to be made In four Portland theaters before the recommendations of the fire Inspection committee appointed by the Council are carried out. The report as presented to the Council at the meeting yesterday afternoon told of the willingness of the proprietors of the playhouses to comply "With all the suggestions made while Inspecting the buildings. Several others not mentioned to the proprietors while the inspection tour was in progress are included in the type-written report First and foremost the committee rec ommends that a full-paid Fire Depart ment be established. It also recommends that no more wooden theaters be built. "With the changes suggested the commit tee deems the wooden structures now in use practically safe, but says that as they are constructed of wood they can never be entirely safe or fireproof. In the case of the Marquam Theater, the greatest possible danger is believed to be from outside the structure. There fore the wooden buildings adjoining on two sides are requested to be removed. "When the committee examined this thea ter it was told that this menace would have been long ago removed had not the property been in litigation. Perhaps the most revolutionary recom mendation of the committee is that two firemen be stationed at each theater dur ing every performance. These are to be regular full-paid men, the expense to be borno by the theaters. That the firemen may not become lax or negligent, provi sion is made that they cannot remain more than one week at any one time at one theater. The work of the inspection committee is still far- from completion. Not all of the theaters have yet been Investigated, nor has anything been done with the number of wooden halls and other gather ing places reputed to be In greater danger from fire than the standard theaters. Members of the committeo have said that examination in these shall In every way be as rigid as in the larger buildings. The churches are to come In for their share of inspection. The committee, hav ing begun upon the Inspection work, wishes to carry it through until every source of danger in gathering places is eliminated. Factories may also be In spected if the present Intention of the committee Is continued. It was there fore acting in accordance with the wishes of the committee that the Council con tinued its term of life yesterday. Tho complete report follows; To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Portland, Or.: Gentlemen Tour committee, appointed on January C. 1004, consisting of David Camp bell, H. W. Goddard. JT. B. Bridges, Richard Martin. Jr., and A. K- Bentley. beg to report lhat they met. pursuant to the resolution, organized by electing A. K. Bentley chair man, and have visited the principal, places o amusement. 'Mr. Bridges has been un able to serve with the committee on account Of Jury duty and press of business. Tour committee is unanimous In the opin ion that one of the first requisites for public safety In the City of Portland is a full-paid Fire Department. Should a fire occur now In one of the theaters. It would bo a matter of from 10 to 30 minutes before the extramen could all report for duty. These minutes lost might mean the death of & great mony people, and we wish to Impress the necessity of a full-paid Fire Department. The Baker Theater. "We And that the Baker Theater and the Cordray Theater arc constructed of wood, and tho only way to make them safe or tire proof is to tear them down. In the Inves tigation of the Baker Theater, we find and recommend the following changes to make this class of building as safe as possible, and to comply with the present laws. Mr. Ba iter, the manager of the theater, Is ready and willing to make such changes. We rec ommend as follows: That the skylight over tho stage be made larger and to open automatically. It Is now operated, by a man In the flies. That the standplpe and hose reels which arc now In use be changed to comply with the present ordinance. That the sprinkler system (which Is now being erected), be put In on a separate and Independent water service from the stand pipe system, and be automatic. Some minor changes In the aisle and aisle arrangement of the Baker, which we under stand will bo made. That the fire appliances be submitted to the Chief of the Fire Department or his deputy for Inspection. There has been a new exit made from tho pallery to Third street, which will be a great help In time of need. That the exlt on the north side of the building running Into the hallway be made at least eight feet larger. That the posts all be removed from the aisles. That two additional doors be put In on the Third-street front, with the center aisle straightened out and leading directly to it. and running down to a point where there are no seats more than six seats from an aisle, as -provided by the ordinances at the present time. That the stage portable attachments and the spot lights and plugs used on the stage be made In accordance with the National code of rules for this purpose. That the wires on the back of the switch board be changed to comply with the Na tional code of rules, otherwise the wiring la the Baker Theater is In good condition. That the door to the property-room be pro tected with double standard doors, also pro tect silt. That the boiler-room be. made fireproof by the building of brick walls and arched -ceiling. Tour committee feels that when these rec ommendations have been carried out. this building will then be as safe- as a building of this class can be made. Marquam. Grand Theater. "We recommend that the fire-escape stairs leading from the east and west aides of the building be straightened out so that they lead directly to the ground, with, no turns in them; also widened as they descend. That an additional set of stairs be run from the present stairway, one leading Into the Sixth-street alley and one Into the Seventh-street alley. That the four alleyways be cleaned out and kept clean by the owners ot the property. That a fire escape stairs and ladder and standplpe be provided on the Alder-street side of the building running clear to the roof. As a matter of protection to the Mar quam Theater we recommend that the Mar quam building proper be protected with standard shutters on the north side. That the buildings on the corner of Sev enth and Alder streets and on Sixth and Alder streets, which are of wood and are a menace to the Marquam Theater, should, be removed or better protected, as they are In close proximity to the theater. That the theater shutters should be changed to the standard shutters, well put on, and means provided for their frequent Inspection; the present shutters are Inade quate. The buildings on the corner of Sev enth and Alder streets, particularly the small cottages or shacks, shoald be removed by the proper city authorities at once. That a new stage door should be provided running directly out on to Alder street, with the doors opening out. This will enable the management to close the present stage door and clean out tho alley way, which could be used In case of Are or emergency. We find there Is a solid brick wall between the stage and the theater. We find there are some minor or small openings In this wall which are not protected. "We recommend that all openings In this wall be protected by standard doors, all to slide and be In ac cordance with the requirements. That the switchboard be removed to a safer place. We And the wiring in the theater for the most part to be old style, and would recom mend for the safety of the public that it be changed, and a new, modern system, com plying with the National code ot rules, be Installed. The switchboard should be of marble or slate. That the center aisle be extended to com ply with the requirements of the present or dinances. That the aisles be opened around the boxes on boht sides. Hint th exits for the musicians be en- Tnr. on tVint the ralllne separating the parquet from the musicians be provided with an opening so that the general puniic coum h Tnitsirinns exit in case of emergency. We would suggest that proper sign. Illumi nated from an entirely Independent system, be placed over the exit, the same as the other exit signs are provided. That an automatic sprinKier system ue in stalled. Thnt th skvllcht now over the stage be enlarged and changed to an automatic one, as provided by ordinance. That RtandnlDes. hose reels. BabcocKs ana axes be placed on either side of the stage. That the holes left where the gas pipes have been run through the walls be closed. That an extra opening be provided between the roof and the ceiling of the theater, the entrance to bo from the top gallery, with swinging ladders provided for each opening. That four ventilators be placed lor use oi the space between the celling and the roof. That board walks be placed on the joists m the space between the roof and the celling. That two bulkheads be placed in the rooi space to run north and south and one ad ditional running cast and west, with proper doors provided through them. That the oosts at the main entrance ne re moved and folding doors substituted. That an additional four feet be provided on the main entrance. TVmt n Are pRrarift be nlaccd on the rear of the main Marquam building proper, to. the roof of the theater, for use in cases or nre. fThls could be used for escape, from the Marquam building In case of nre.) Tour committee would recommend that tne main exit from the balcony be changed so as to provide an exit for the people, Inde pendent ot the main entrance. A guide rail ing should be placed on the passage In the balcony. Cordray 'a Theater. This theater has caused your committee 'a great deal of discussion within itself. We n-I.Vi in ntntn thlntra as we found them. We found tho basement filled with rubbish and Accumulated material. It Is a very large place and contains a large amount of com bustible material. There are no bulkheads In tho basement. We found where candles were still standing on paper holders in tho lrMMtlnir-rnntTi!i- Wo found a derjlorable con dition existing under the gallery, it being lull of rubbish ana eomDustioie material. We found some of the dressing-rooms lined rrltb Tmnnr- U'p found the flv srallerv lined with paper. We found that they are Install ing a new electric wiring system witn a new switchboard. Tour committee considers that the exits are not adequate for tho needs of the public In case of panic or fire, and should be changed at once If this theater is to be n11nri4 in frmt!nn Art It now fttands. the only two exits are In one corner of the build ing, and should a nre occur in the corner, celling or in the basement, the means of egress would practlcalb' be cut off. Tour committee, therefore, recommend that tho present ordinances be followed very -closely In the changing of this theater, and that It be made to comply with them. Arcade Theater. We found a small amount of accumulated rubolsh under the stage, but, generally speaking. thlsplace has been built as safe as possible when consideration Is given to Its surroundings. We recommend the straight ening out of the center aisle, the installation of independent pilot lights and automatic ventilator in the roof over the stage, the In stallation of fire plugs, Babcocks, etc., In the proper places. Also that a suitable shut ter be provided for each of the exits which can be used In case of fire In the adjoining property to keep back smoke or fire While the other exits are being used; that a proper chimney be built In the dressing-rooms, where one now exists which is not in ac cordance with the present ordinance. The Winter Garden. Tour committee Inspected the Winter Gar den and found very little combustible ma terial in this place. We would suggest and recommend that an additional exit be pro vided from the basement on the Third-street side of the building. General Recommendations. Generally, your committee would recom mend that "No smoking" signs be placed In each theater In all dressing-rooms, and that they be strictly enforced. Tour committee would also recommend that means be de vised for lowering the fireproof curtains In each theater from the stage as well as from the fly gallery. That all theaters be provided with a fire proof curtain. That all false ceilings In scenes.-be done away with. That no candles, coal-oil or gasoline be allowed on the premises. Tour committee would recommend for the safer protection of the Fire Department that all stages be cleaned up after each performance and the stage not left set up. Tour committee would recommend that each theater be provided with two firemen, tb be stationed In the theater, under the or ders ot the Chief of the Fire Department, said firemen to be detailed by the Fire Chief and paid for at the regular fire rates to the city by the theaters. These men must be regular members of the Fire Department, and should not be stationed In one theater over one week at a time. Tour committee would recommend that the fireproof curtain of all theateis be dropped between each and evenr act. After close In vestigation, your conynlttee Sad that the ordinance regarding chairs In the aisles has been violated. We recommend that this be enforced to the letter. We recommend that all rubbish and unused material should be taken off the premises and not allowed to accumulate around theater stages. A fire-alarm box should be placed on all stages, with An additional box In each box office. We recommend that no mere permits be Issued for any theaters within the city limits to be built In any way except thoroughly modern and fireproof. Also that fireproof paint be used on the scenery- The work Involved In the inspection by this committee has proven to be quite a la borious task, and we have devoted all 'the time possible since our appointment to this work. ' Wo have been unable to complete our Inspection of the theaters and other places where the public should be safeguarded and would respectfully ask for an extension of time for a further report. Respectfully submitted. A- K. BENTLEY. DAVID CAMPBELL. H. W. GODDARD. J. B. BRIDGES, RICHARD MARTIN. JR. MARSHALL HELD THEIR CHOICE Leading Chicago Democrats Favor His Nomination for Presidency. Chicago Inter Ocean. That Marshall Field may be the Demo cratic candidate for President of the United States this year was the main topic of discussion among Democratic politicians and business men generally yesterday. The first report of Mrv Field's possible candidacy came to Chicago in a dispatch from Indianapolis. The report was that Democrats of the Hoosier State were con sidering Mr. Fields availability as a Pres idential candidate, and that the Idea was finding favor among the party leaders, in that state. When the report that Mr. Field might be Induced to become a candidate spread among the Democratic leaders in Chicago it was almost unanimously agreed that he would be a strong candidate If he would accept the nomination. It is pointed out by leading men of the party that Mr. Flejd stands In the front rank of the great, men in the commercial world; that he has distinguished himself for executive ability; that as a candidate he would have the confidence of the busi ness interests of the country, and that his candidacy would be well received by the worklngmen because of Mr.. Field's well known geri?tous treatment of his thou sands of employes and his sympathy 'with men who earn their living by their hands. Mr. Field declined to be interviewed on the question of his candidacy. "It is too ridiculous to discuss," was all he would say when asked for an Interview on the report sent from Indiana. "While some of the Democratic politi cians were not inclined to discuss Mr. Field as an actual candidate until they knew he would allow his name to be used in that connection, they all spoke in the highest terms of his ability and of the high standing he has In the mercantile world. . - Mr. Field's conservatism was dwelt upon as a strong point in his favor. It was also pointed out that Mr. Field, in all his business career, has not been identified with trusts or any of the combinations which have been blamed or criticised by the public Mayor Harrison in his interview paid a high compliment to Mr. Field, but said that he did not care to talk at this time of him as a possible candidate for the Democratic nomination. The report of Mr. Field's possible candi dacy caused more comment and drew forth more favorable Indorsements than the candidacy of any other man yet men tioned for the Democratic nomination. To sum up the situation the statements of politicians, financiers and business men mean that If Mr. Field will permit him self to be considered a candidate for the Presidential nomination he Is assured of powerful support, not only in Illinois, but in other states. The Judges' Salaries. PORTLAND, Jan. 18. (To the Editor.) As the public has no ready means of see ing the laws passed by the recent special session of the Legislature, will The Ore gonlan confer a favor on many taxpayers by printing the act raising the salaries of the Circuit Judges of this district from $3000 to J400Q per annum, and compelling the taxpayers of this county to stand the raise; so that tbe public "can see the reasons, if any, which influenced the legislators from Multnomah County to support that measure? ' A TAXPAYER. The act referred to was H. B. 29, and reads as follows: "Section 1. That section 2926 of the codes and statutes of Oregon compiled and an notated by C. B. Bellinger and W. W. Cotton be amended so as to read as fol lows: "Section 2925. Judges of the Circuit Courts and salaries Each of the Judges of the Circuit Courts in this state shall receive an annual salary of $3000, payable quarterly, and no other allowance for their services, either directly or indirect ly; provided, that when any county con stituting -of Itself a judicial district shall have a population of 100.000 or more, there shall be paid annually by each said county, out of the county funds, to each of the said Judges of the Circuit Court in such county, the sum of $1000 in addition to said sum of $3000. Said $1000 shall be audited and paid monthly In the same manner that county officers are paid, as provided in section 2935 of said codes and statutes. "Section 2. Whereas, the compensation of Judges in Judicial districts composed of one county only, is, under the present law, inadequate, an emergency is de clared, and. this act shall take effect upon Its approval by the Governor." The act was approved by the Governor on December 24, 1903, and filed by him the same day. Clergymen Take Notice. Applications for clergy certificates for the year 1904 are now at the office of A. Ij.
