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.

-.- 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'

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Colonel Edward .Emerson, Jr., Cabled
Last Month He Would Leave Jap
anese, as He Could Get Into
Lines of the Enemy.
NEW YORK, Juno 20. A cable dispatch
to the World today, which Is not signed,
and which the World says was probably
forwarded by the American Legation at
Pekln, announces the shooting of Colonel
isaward Emerson, Jr., one of the World's
correspondents In the Far East and con
veyed the impression that he had been
killed. The cable stated It was reported
that Emerson had been shot by Russians,
who mistook him for a spy.
A letter from Emerson was received by
the World shortly before the receipt of
this cable, dated May 14, containing these
expressions: -
"Mukden is muzzled; no news can get
out from there. I find I can get into the
Russian lines."
Emerson left the Japanese army some
time ago, and pushed on to Mukden.
EXPLAINS JAPANESE CAMPAIGN
Another Army Is to Be Landed to
Reduce Port Arthur.
WASHINGTON. June 20. An explana
tion of the Japanese campaign on the
Llao Tung Peninsula, especially with ref
erence to Port Arthur, Is contained In a
dispatch that has reached th's city from
source believed to be absolutely reli
able. The Japanese tactics, which have
so puzzled the Russians, are intended to
isolate Port Arthur, but do not contem
plate an attack on the place by General
Oku's army The actual work of reduc
ing "Port Arthur will be confided to an
other Japanese army, under command of
General Nogi, which will be landed on
the peninsula, and, indeed, may even now
be landed at a point south of General
Oku's position, and considerably nearer
Port Arthur.' On the 1st of June no less
than 26 transports had been gathered at
one of the Japanese ports to embark this
army, and It Is probable that the vessels
attacked by the Vladivostok squadron
were of this1 number.
SAYS RUSSIA LOST 7000 MEN.
Wounded Officer Says No Troops
Could Have Withstood Japanese.
NIU CHWANG, . June 20. A Rus
sian officer who was wounded .In the
battle at Vafangow (Tellssu) told an As
sociated Press correspondent that the
losses on both sides were severe. He
places the Russian casualties at least at
000. He says no soldiers in tho world
could withstand the Japanese as they
have been fighting lately. Their artillery
fire, he asserts, Is marvelously effective.
The Russians fought stubbornly, despe
rately, but were unable to withstand the
enemy's dashing pcrrlsteney.
Several hundred wounded Russians have
been sent Iorth, owing to a lack of hos
pitals and surgeons. All the available
transportation has to be used for supplies
at the expense of the sick and wounded.
The Japanese burled roost of the Russian
dead after the battle.
It is estimated on the information ob
tainable that the force moving north
ward is 70,000 strong, with 90,000 men in
the aggregate engaged in the operations
at Port Arthur. Several Japanese sple3
have recently been captured a few miles
south of NIu Chwang.
The Russians are becoming more vigi
lant and are watching newspaper mes
sages closely.
JAPANESE LOSSES ONLY 1000.
Tokio Believes Vafangow Battle Lost
the Enemy 10,000 Men.
TOKIO, June 20. Further reports re
ceived here show that the blow In
flicted by General Oku on the Russians
in the fighting at Tellssu (Vafangow) on
June 15, was more severe than at first
was believed. The number of Russians
killed In this battle probably will exceed
2000, and their total losses, Including pris
oners, Is estimated at 10.000. The Japan
ese losses are less than 1000. or about one
tenth of the Russian total.
Up to June 17, General Oku had burled
1516 Russian dead and he reports that
many more dead have been found.
Chinese who witnessed the fighting from
the Russian side report that the Russians
removed many dead men from the trains
with their wounded, and that they burled
or cremated many corpses in the village
or Huasungkou before they retreated.
The number of prisoners and trophies
taken by the Japanese is Increasing. Gen
eral Oku Is not yet able to report the total
number of prisoners.

Vladivostok the More Valuable.

sults of the raid by the Vladivostok

Port Arthur.

cape of Gtneral Bedell's War
Orderly 3Tom a Paralytic's
Fate.,
When Mr. Ross C. Duffy, of No. IS
Russell avenue, Nashua, N. H., was
suddenly prostrated by a paralytic
shock, the deepest concern was felt
throughout the town in which he had
heen a prominent official-
(3 rand Army men were especially so
licitous, for in the Civil War Mr. Duffy
had acted as General Bedell's orderly
while serving with Company F, Third
Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer
Infantry, and after the war he became
a member of General Foster Post, G. 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.
John Hunter, of Chico, CaL, who had
been cured of a desperate attack of lo
comotor ataxia by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. 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. No mora
vertigo, no more trouble with my stom
ach, none with my kidneys; In fact,
every organ seems to be doing Its
proper work. I certainly have g-md
reason to be thankful to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills." These pills are sold by all
druggists throughout the world.
