present building and fire ordinances.
ARCADE Fire-fighting appliances to

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.

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. Craig, general passenger agent of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company,
and those entitled to permits will please
call at room 2. Worcester building, for the
