' ll ! ' li THE MOBMKG OBEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, MAT 10, 1904. TO TRAIN THE HAND Manual training for the Pub lic Schools. SUBJECT TO LEGAL OPINION Petition of Taxpayers Granted and System to Be Introduced Gradually -Contract Let for Heating and Ventilating Buildings. Manual training Trill become a part of the programme of the Portland public schools next September If no legal ob stacle's present themselves. At the meet ing of the Board of Education last evening- a petition signed by a number of the largest taxpayers of the city -was pre sented asking for manual training In the schools. After some discussion the pe tition was granted. J. V. Beach, as" a lawyer, wished to make sure that a school levy could be made which would Include expenditure for this purpose. The petition was there fore granted with this proviso. The Attorney-General of Oregon will be asked for his opinion on this point, and It Is hoped by the directors that an answer will be quickly submitted. The petition of the taxpayers was not allowed until Chairman Herman Witten berg had resigned the chair to Richard Williams and put the motion himself. J. N. Teal was present to urge the directors to grant the petition, of which he was a signer, and his arguments carried much weight. ' It is believed that little additional ex penditure will be necessary. The plan, as now In the mind of City Superintendent Kigler. Is to begin In the lower grades and gradually work up along the higher grades until practically the entire pub lic school system is Included. The Seattle High School now has an excellent system as a portion of its regu lar work, and something of like character was earnestly recommended to the annual taxpayers meeting last December by Mr. Wittenberg. Aside from the discussion of manual training the directors devoted considerable time and attention to a discussion of the merits of different heating systems. This was brought up by the awarding of the contracts for the heating of six schools, including the High School, to the W. G. McPherson Company, which controls the fan and hot-air heating and ventilating system for the city. Three bids were submitted for each school, but the Mc pherson Company, by reason of its sys tem, was able to underbid the other two competitors in every Instance. This sys tem is now in use in the Sunnyslde School. An entirely new system In the High School will cost $9600, in the Park $6180, in the Brooklyn $3700, In the Albina Central, now heated by stoves, $2200. The new buildings on East Twenty-eighth street, near East Couch, and at Twenty-first and Raleigh, will be heated by the fan system for $1800 and $1500 each. Richard Williams doubted the feasi bility of heating the smaller rooms by the fan system, but when W. G. McPherson, who was present, explained his system, Mr. Williams found himself In a very small minority and capitulated. With Mr. Williams still technically in the chair, Mr. Wittenberg ran through the motions for the fan systems one by one. In the case of the Park School the system of heating and ventilating had to be decided upon within a week, owing to the progress of the remodeled building. "Can't the stcamfitters of the city bid upon this work?" asked Mr. Williams. He was assured by Architect Jones that any bids from local steamfltters would probably be close to double the bids sub mitted by the successful bidder. Mr. Williams also thought that the old heating plants In the school buildings could be disposed of to advantage. Mr. McPherson told him that $1700 had been allowed as salvage in the case of the Park School, but that he would give nothing for the antiquated plant in the High School. "1 will never vote to retain one part of the old High School plant," said R. K. Warren. "I have been In the High School for a long time, and I know that the old system is no good whatever." Applications for positions from teachers now In the schools must be in by May 13. DEAL ON FAMOUS MINE. Oregon King Reported to Be Sold for $400,000 to Sumpter Men. The Oregon King mine near Antelope is said to have been sold to tho Gelser Hendryx Investment Company of Sump ter for $400,000 by Charles M. Cartwright, of Portland, W. H. Edwards, of Hay Creek, and W. L. Quealy, of Wyoming, but the statement could not be confirmed last night. Mr. Hendryx is the only one of the persons concerned who is in the city, and he could not be found. A tele gram to Antelope brought the answer that nothing was known of the deal there. Mrs. Cartwright said she knew that an offer for the mlno had been made by Mr. Hendryx and Mr. Gelser, but did not know that it was sold. The Oregon King is one of the famous mines of Oregon. It was discovered by a shepherd, but he failed to do tho assess ment work, and It was relocated by Mr. f Cartwright. who secured title last June 'after litigation with tho discoverer which lasted four years. The ore carries gold on the surface, but the values gradually change to silver and copper. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 300 feet, at which tho ore carries 1000 to 1500 ounces of sil ver besides gold and copper. t - QUESTION OF ETHICS. terior Is (elaborately decorated In white and gold, and with specimens of Swedish pottery and chinaware. The headquarters of the Swedish royal commission will be located In the pavilion. Queen LilluokalanI, the deposed ruler of Hawaii, accompanied by her adopted son, ex-Prince Cupid, and his wife and a number of friends, arrived today from Washington and took apartments in the Inside Inn, Inside the grounds. The party expects to remain in St. Louis about two weeks and numerous entertainments have been planned In honor of the visitors. SEMBBIGH IN HEE FEME. This Famous Singer Will Appear at the Marquam, May 13. All the great New Tork critics agree that Sembrlch is now in the height of her power as a singer. At the song recital she gave In Carnegie Hall in November she had one of the largest and most brilliant audiences that New York has ever known. Only Paderewskl and Sem brlch, Indeed, can draw such audiences for a simple recital. The next morning. November 18, every New York paper of importance printed columns concerning the great event, eulogizing the singer in most unusual terms of rapturous ad miration. "The public plainly realized that this would be the only opportunity to hear the greatest art of the greatest lyric singer now rejoicing the world, before she be gan her Winter's arduous task at the opera," says the New York Sun. "She has never sung better to this public than yesterday afternoon. In song recital, Sembricn being a singer of Infinite re finement, of most dainty vocal touch. Is at her best." This great prima donna will be heard for the first time in Portland on Friday, May 13, at the Marquam, under the direc tion of Lois Steers. The sale of seats will open tomorrow. BROWNS GUILTY ALSO. Whether Officer With Sprained An kle Can Attend Cupid's Calls. Can a handsome young policeman visit a young lady during the time he is re lieved from duty on account of a sprained ankle? The police committee of the Ex ecutive Board will try to answer this question at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when the Investigation asked by Officer T. W. Taylor will take place. Taylor has engaged Dan J. Malarkey as attorney, and will soon get an answer one way or another. Taylor was let off from duty Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday Chief Hunt wished to "learn his whereabouts, so an officer vainly searched Taylor's room and his parents" home. But the missing policeman was finally found In the home of a young lady upon whom he was calling. Then Chief Hunt, who refuses to pose as aid-de-camp of Cupid, declared that the officer was fit for sta tion duty at least. Therefore Taylor was suspended. Sweden's Fair Building Opened. ST. LOUIS, May 9. The Swedish pa vilion at the St. Louis Fair was formally opened today. The building was erected after the style of a Swedish country house, by an organization of residents of Sweden and America. The pavilion was tendered by Frederick Boborg. architect .and representative of the Swedish section. President Francis made an address of welcome in behalf of the exposition, and a number of other speeches followed. A life-size bust of King Oscar II stands on a pedestal at the entrance. The in- Assistant District Attorney Scores Them for Causing Sater's Arrest. When Peter Sater stole a baseball be longing to the Portland Browns Sunday, he did nothing for which the authorities are inclined to blame him greatly. Sater picked up the ball, which had been bat ted to the bleachers and tucked it away, only to be discovered by a special police man named Hemsworth, who arrested him. The charge was larceny. It was when the case got to the atten tion of Deputy District Attorney Adams that the Browns got a lively scorching. Mr. Adams noted the fact that Manager Ely, of the Browns, was not on hand to sign a complaint against the defendant, and Mr. Adams would not do so. He was in sympathy with the prisoner. It was his declaration to Judge Hogue that the Portland Browns themselves were guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses all of the present baseball season, inas much as they have been receiving 50-cent pieces for admission to the ball games. He said he could hardly blame anyone for wanting to get even with the Portland Browns. Upon the motion of Mr. Adams, the case against Sater was dismissed. i NATIONAL GRANGE FUND GROWS Additional Subscriptions Raise the Total to S1226.

The beautiful and significant "Faust" drama exerts a charm that is perennial and exhaustless. It has become a world-classic, treasured by al2 nations and peoples. The love-story of the first part has put the second part somewhat in eclipse, also the idea, once prevalent, that this portion of "Faust" is heavy and abstruse. Not so; it is by many now preferred to the first part, since time and thought have disclosed that a few large motifs are presented by a series of fascinating pictures, matchless in variety of Interest and in many-sided suggestivencss. It contains some of the noblest poetry in the world and the whole displays a superb art. Mrs. Alt man will present the first and second parts of "Faust" this evening at 8:15 at Parsons' Hall, endeavoring to graph ically present the plot and story, as well as to point out Its beauty and sig nificance. Programmes, illustrative of the action and scenes, are to be a fea ture of the presentation of this mas terpiece, which strikes its roots so deep Into our modern life and thought. SPECIAL RATES.

Shambrook and J. W. Ma- thena Are Missing. Closed and bolted doors met those who essayed to visit the Oberon or Winter Garden yest6rday, for a sip of beer. There was no alluring music from the four-piece orchestra, nor did the vaude ville company go through any of its hourly gyrations. Not even didthe clink of glasses or the monotonous "draw one" of the waiters break in upon the silence. The explanation of this phenomenon was inscribed on a small but formidable, bit of paper conspicuously posted m the door. "Closed by the Sheriff" was the express ive legend the bit of paper held. Every now and then an employe would wander up to the door, look astonished, then startled. Then would follow a curse or a sob, according to the sex of the em ploye. The place was closed down shortly be fore 9 o'clock by Constable Jackson on at tachments issued from Justice Reld's Court and from the Circuit Court. From that hour up to noon the news spread rapidly until the night force and a multi tude of creditors of the establishment were on the scene. The meeting nat urally resolved Itself Into an indignation meeting, and the principal subject of in vestigation was the whereabouts of Pro prietors B. F. Shambrook and J. W. Ma thena. Persistent search and Inquiry failed to reveal either of those two Individuals, or any trace of their whereabouts. Someone Is said vto have- seen Mathena depart from the city Saturday evening, while Shambrook was said to have gone a week ago. Only one theory was presented as to the reason of the sudden leave-taking of the firm's personnel. This was that they had retreated far beyond the Willamette before an overwhelming force of obliga tions which they could not meet with their supposedly small force of coins of the realm. The debts of the establish ment will amount up to a goodly figure. In fact, more than $1500 in claims already adorn the front doors, and attachments are constantly bobbing up. No less than four were issued from Justice Reld's court during the morning. And the really sad part of the story is the small amount of assets left to jneet the liabilities. Every thing Is covered by mortgage to the Gam brlnus Brewing Company except the stock In trade, consisting of whisky, wine and beer. On a careful estimate there are about two drinks apiece for all the firm's creditors. The firm which claims the largest amount due Is Rothschild & Bro., who got out an attachment for $900 for liquors. J. R. Smith wants $160.25; 6am brinus Brewing Company, $2S0; L. Trum mer & Co., $1S5, and employes about $300. A wrangle Is now In the courts with the Eilers Piano House as to the possession of a piano. The authorities believe other claims and troubles are yet to be heard from. The establishment has been running un der the present management for some months. It came into existence when Shambrook, then a bartender and a re cent arrival from Seattle, Inherited some money. Mathena was more or less of a silent partner. The enterprise in beer and vaudeville appeared to thrive for a while, but when vaudeville houses com menced springing up like mushrooms in the night its business waned and the shadow of debt began hanging over the establishment heavily. Between salaries and running expenses, licenses and police raids, the debts grew on until the end just chronicled appeared. The date has not been fixed for an ad justment of the trouble In court. VICTIMS OF A BUNCX) MAN. Anacortes Youths Paid $5 Each to Get Good Positions. A E. Colburn and F. G. Lewis, two youths from Anacortes, Wash., were easy victims for a bunco man yesterday even ing, and each of the boys was relieved of $5, believing that he was to get a posi tion with a salary of $20 per week. "We met the fellow, who said his name was P. H. Gerrlty, on First street," said Colburn. "and he offered to put us to work when we told him we were looking for positions. He took us to room 8, In the Gilman House, where he explained that he was engaging traveling agents for the Columbia Publishing Company, of Chicago. He said he needed only a few more agents and would remain in Port land for another week before leaving for Chicago, and when he explained the work to us it looked so fine that we were both anxious to go to work for the company. At his request we deposited $5 apiece, to show our good faith in the matter, and were promised salaries of $20 a week and commission. He told us to call tomor row morning and he would be ready to start us out on the road. "When we had walked up the street a short distance the thought struck me that we had no receipts for our money and we hurried back to Mr. Gerrity's room, only to find that he had taken his baggage and left the hotel. Gerrlty told us that he had been at the hotel for three weeks but the clerk said he had been there only one day. I guess we have been worked all right, so we are going back to Anacortes tomorrow." EXCUSES OF NO AVAIL. Tenants of Jacob Kamm's Shacks Ordered to Leave Forthwith. As promised at the last meeting of the Executive Board, City Attorney McNary yesterday notified the tenants of the old Kamm shacks at First and Washington streets of the decision of enforcing a forth with removal. Seven shops and offices oc cupy the pile of crumbling boards called buildings by courtesy. Excuses why they should not and could not remove at once were forthcoming Immediately, but the City Attorney, who waited upon them in person, would accept no excuses. One tenant declared he held a lease on the premises which would not expire for sev eral years, but the lease was not produced as evidence. What Jacob Kamm, the owner, will do is the question the offi cials arc asking one another. WORLD'S FAIR EXCURSIONS.
