THE MOBNIKff OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DWE 21, 1904, WILL SELECT SITE Members of National 1905 Board Meet Tomorrow. GtiODE REACHES WASHINGTON He Will Be at Conference to Decide Upon Scheme of the Buildings 'Drawings Will Be Begun at -Once: OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 20. It is the expectation, of members o the .Government Iewls and Clark Exposition Board that a site for the Government buildings will be selected Wednesday, and that soon thereafter prep aration of plans for the buildings can be commenced. The selection would havo been made today but for the fact that Supervising' Architect "Taylor Is out of the city and will not return until Wed nesday. Director-General Henry W. Goode, of the Exposition, arrived from Portland this morning, and had a brief conference with members of the building' committee, but they reached no agreement; In fact did not meet with -any thought of doing so. It seems probable that the wishes of the Exposition authorities as to the site, will, be respected. The main desire of the Gov ernment Board Is to insure the safety of the Government exhibits. Architect Tay lor suggests that to avoid any danger, the floors' of the Government buildings, if located on the peninsula, can be four feet above the ground, which would be one loot above the highest water ever known, in Portland. 1 Aside from the selection of a site for the buildings, Mr. Goode expects to confer with the entire Government Board as to the scheme of buildings, arrangements, etc., so as to insure harmony. (Members of the Government Board said j today they would direct Supervising Arch I itect Taylor to prepare plans for the larg est Government building that can be erect ,ed with the money appropriated by Con jgress. The board stands ready to fill lany building provided, and will gauge its I exhibit by the amount of space available.

Another hitch has occurred in the negotiations for the re lease of Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley, held by Bandit Ralsllu, and Instead of their release tomorrow, authorities at the British Consulate express the opinion that Saturday will probably be the date for the release of the prisoners.

Printanlers". . . .Lacombe Orchestra and violin chorus "Meditation". -.- Spitzner The violin recital of little 11-year-old Lucille Collette at the Marquam Grand last night was an unqualified success. The performance of this child Is nothing short of marvelous and surprised even those who have heard her before. With the fear less repose of childhood she played six in tricate arrangements that Included even' movement of the bow and strings known to violinists. The programme was the most difficult ever! presented by any vio linist in Portland, and that it should have been given by one so young In years, with never a flaw to mar any of the numbers seems almost incredible. Beginning with Brahms-Joachim Hungarian dances, her brilliancy and her splendid finger and bow work held the large audience, which filled the theater. In astonished silence. Her second number developed more fine qualities, her fingering being especially noticeable. The last movement of Men delssohn's concerto was probably the most difficult number given, and this she played with the greatest ease, her rare technique. pure tone and artistic temperament being displayed in every bar. This concerto Is the favorite piece of this child, artist and she plays it as though she loved it All of these difficult classical compositions were plaved from memory and with only an oc casional glance at the strings of her vio lin. Miss Huggins, Father Dominic (Mount Angel) and Professor Spitzner were the accompanists and the little girl played with one as well as another. Miss Hug gins is a favorite accompanist for violin ists and her work is good. Father Do mi- nlc's brilliant style was -admirably fitted to the Hungarian air in which he followed tho violin.. A trio composed of Professor' Spitzner. Mr. Conrad and Miss Huggins rendered some beautiful numbers which had never been heard before in Portland.. All of these artists are well known to the public and their delicate work received appreciative recognition by the audience. One of the surprises of the evening was the appearance of Professor Spltxner's or chestra and violin chorus, composed of 60 members, the majority of them young peo ple. The harmony with which they played was beautiful and they were under the perfect control of their leader. This or ganization merits great popularity and will no doubt meet with it No amateur performance In Portland has ever attracted the large house which this little girl's recital brought out. Peo ple who had simply heard of her came to hear for themselves what Portland's child viollniste could do and they were more than satisfied. Professor Spitzner has prophesied that Portland will be proud of Lucille after she returns from abroad, but the unanimous -verdict of her audi ence last night was that It Is proud of her now. There Is no suggestion of over work or long hours of practice about this little girl. She Is healthy and full of life and childhood. She skipped oft the stage after each number with her arms so full of flowers she couldn't see over them, the difficult work she had just done leaving no depressing effect upon her. She Is a queer little genius, being a perfectly natural child and an ambitious talented artist In one. She love3 her music and her ambition Is never ending. Endowed with a perfect ear, a marvelous memory and the will power of a grown person, she masters every piece she attempts before leaving it for something new. The picture of a little tot like this who can interpret such mas ters as Wagner and Mendelssohn intelli gently, carrying three or four dolls with her as she goes to her lesson and sitting tbam up In a row to listen to her, Is one that Is unusual. Mrs. Collette will take her to Prague, Bohemia, this Summer and keep her under the best masters for tho next Ave or six years. There seems to be no doubt that she will become a celebrity and, as her instructor says, "Portland will be proud of her." SEVERE BLOW TO FEDERATION Portland Mine Directors Decide to Employ Nonunion Men. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 20. At a meeting- of the directors of the Port land Mine Company this afternoon, the action of President Burns in asking the Federal Court of St. Louis for an in junction prohibiting the state authorities from interfering with the operation of the mine was repudiated and the suit was declared off. The board also passed a resolution re quiring Superintendent Curry, of the Portland mine, to resume operations as soon as possible without employing men affiliated with the Western Federation of Miners. This Is regarded as a severe blow to that organization, as the Portland mine was virtually its only lootnoia in tne Cripple Creek district at the time of tho action. It is believed the mine will re sume operations this week. President Burns, after the meeting, is sued a statement to the public. It de fends his policy of ' wuat he calls the "open shop," and says: , I am accused of being a partisan of the Western Federation of Miners. It Is untrue. I believe in an 'open shop, and have always enforced It I a mnelther for, nor against organized labor. I re spect Its rights, and I have required it all times to respect mine. I believe in freedom of contract and right of an American to work his property In hi3 own way, and have practiced what I preached. "My action has been repudiated by the board of directors, a majority of whom have ordered the suits dismissed, and the order will be obeyed." Bell Denies He Made Such Statement. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo.. June 20. In response to a telegram from an Eastern newspaper, asking for a statement from him as to whether he said that Governor Peabody would soon have to declare the whole of Colorado In a state of rebellion and put the stato under martial law, Adjutant-General Bell has replied as fol lows: "The alleged interview is absolutely without foundation. I not only never gave out such an Interview but the idea is absolutely foreign to my mind under the past and present conditions. "There Is no need of declaring Colorado under martial law. The whole state prac tically has been cleaned up by my depor tation system. There are but few anarch ists and Socialists left who can cause trouble. "However, should it become a military necessity, the whole State of Colorado will be placed under martial law and all Insurrectionists dealt with accordingly. I do not believe that this will ever be nec essary. In my judgment the Colorado -labor troubles are at an end. "We have been making the fight for the whole of the United States, as the West ern Federation of Miners has been receiv ing financial support and other assistance from tho country at large. Colorado Is looking to other states to follow suit' Moyer Case Goes Over. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., June 20. President Charles H.

Joy Over Es' cape of Gtneral Bedell's War Orderly 3Tom a Paralytic's Fate., When Mr. Ross C. Duffy, of No. IS Russell avenue, Nashua, N.

A. R., and rose to be department vice commander. The general anxiety felt about him after his sudden shock in the latter part of 1901 was slightly relieved by the news that he had come out of a state of un consciousness which had lasted for five days, but as week after week went by and he made no further progress, one leg remaining paralyzed. It was con cluded that the highly honored veteran must at best remain a cripple for life. Suddenly, to the surprise and delight of every one, Mr. Duffy appeared on the street in unmistakably robust health and was overwhelmed by congratula tions and Inquiries: "The regular treatment." said Mr. Duffy, "didn't do a bit of good, so far as my paralyzed leg was concerned. My left leg remained cold and dead, and I had been too active a man to be content to be housed up with one dead lfg If there was any possible way to cure It. I finally stumbled on help by the merest chance. I got my clew out of a Boston paper from the war story of a comrade.

I sent for a box of the pills at once, and in less than a month after ward I, too, became a perfectly well man as the result of using them, and I have remained so ever since.
