Troops to Settle Honors
Today.
FIRST BRIGADE TO ATTACK
Soldiers of the Second to Be
Entrenched.
ODDS OF WAR MADE EVEN
Two Battalions of the Tenth United
States Infantry Are Added to the
Force Which Will Make
the Advance.
DIVISION HEADQUARTERS, Murray,
Wash., July 12. (Staff Correspondences
Today the troops of the hostile maneuver
brigades have been lying on their arms
resting up from the fatigue of Monday's
campaigning. In the morning they will
take the field once more with renewed
vlEror.
iii Tnmnrroff will be the decisive day of
the campaign. There will be a pitched
battle between the two brigades. Goaded
on by their marked victory of Monday
morning, the men of the First Brigade
have decided to attack the Second Bri
gade troops at Camp Nlsqually. This
attack upon their stronghold Is regarded
by the Second Brigade men as a reflec
tion upon their prowess, and roost bitter
ly will they resent the intrusion. They
will also be spurred on by an ardent de
sire to retrieve their lost honors of Mon
day's fighting. The battle that occurs is
bound to be lively and will call forth the
very best tactics and the -very best efforts
of officers and men alike.
While the Second Brigade Is in utter
darkness as to the point whence
the attack will come or at what
hour. It will he made. It was learned
this evening at headquarters that the
fight will occur early in the morning. The
First Brigade, under Colonel Huston, U.
S. A., will move from camp at Stellacoom
before sunrise. The Nineteenth Infantry
and Major Yoran's battalion of Oregon
infantry will have the van of the column,
and will keep scouts and patrols in every
direction in order that the First Brigade
may not steal into position upon them
and harass their advance. Since it is In
tended by the Second Brigaders to do this
same thing, there will be most likely a
few animated skirmishes between scout
ing parties before the big fight occurs.
The battle will occur in the immediate
vicinity of Camp Nisqually, where the
Second Brigade intends to intrench and
await the attack. Early In the morning
the men will intrench the Third Oregon
Infantry and part of the Tenth Infantry
withln a mile or two of the tents, and
the artillery will be held at a point
where it can wheel quickly Into position.
according to the nature of the attack
made by the enemy. Not knowing from
whence the attack of the enemy is to he
made, the Second Brigade intends to be
prepared for all emergencies. This will
prove of groat advantage, for it was
learned tonight that the attack is to be
on both flanks and in front at the same
lime.
The force of the Second Brigaders was
weakened this evening by the assignment
of two battalions of the Tenth United
States Infantry to serve -with the First
Brigade. Major Evans, the chief um
pire, and General Funeton thought this
would be a more equitable distribution of
the troops considering the great advan
tages in position the Second Brigade will
have by being intrenched for the attack.
The Tenth moved out from the camp of
their late allies this evening to array
themselves with the enemy they have
"been working so hard to defeat during
the past few days. Tonight they are
bivouaced in the field waiting to join the
advancing column of the first brigade in
the morning.
Outside of brigade drills in the forenoon,
activity has been entirely suspended to
day and everyone has been taking life
easy. There, have been a number of visit
ors in camp, amon? them being A. J.
Capron, of Portland. Mr. Capron saw
Monday's pitched battle in which the
Second Brigade met defeat, and said the
work of the National Guard was a revela
tion to him. He gave the assurance that
his influence would in the future be ex
tended to the cause of larger appropria
tions for the Guard of Oregon.
The weather today sprang a pleasant
surprise after a week of tropical tempera
ture, turning very comfortably chtiiy- until
overcoate are generally in evidence. The
troops are utilizing every odd blanket,
quilt and rag they can find to supplement
their bedding, as the thermometer has a
good start towars the freezing point.
Ominous-looking clouds oi"erhaag the
camp with promises of rain, which would
be very welcome to lay the dust which
makes maneuvering unpleasant. A dash
of rain and continued cool weather will
enable the troops to leave the field In hest
possible condition after the hard day
they will put In tomorrow.
At the division review Sunday morning
on the open prairie off lakevlew, Major
General MacArthur and staff, General
Funston and staff, Governor McBrlde, of
Washington, and staff, -and probably the
Governor of Idaho and staff will be pres
ent. Colonel Herbert Foster, military at
tache of the British Embassy, Washing
ton, D. C, Is among the notable visitors
at the camp. After the maneuvers In
advance and rear-guard work. General
MacArthur addressed the officers of the
opposing forces. It Is learned he expressed
satisfaction with the work of the troops.
Captain F. G. Lawton will leave for
Vancouver Barracks next week. Before
leaving he will supervise the practice of
the team selected from the Nineteenth
Infantry to compete in the shoot at
Monterey, CaL, beginning July 3.
General Funston will not leave for the
East until October and will Inspect the
military posts In Alaska as far north as
Nome this Summer.
public :snrsT eaise $soo.
If That Sum is Donated, City Park
Will Have Two Buffaloes.
Two hundred and fifty dollars has been
subscribed by the Park Board for the pur
chase of Harry Young's two buffaloes,
which are now at the City Park. Another
$230 has been subscribed by the railroads,
bo altogether half of the price asked by
Young, $1000, has been raised.
The members of the Park Board
heartily wish that they had sufficient
funds at their disposal to buy the pair of
buffalo without further parley, as they
believe the animals to be a valuable- addi
tion to the City Park zoo. But the park
fund is in the condition jof Mother Hub
bard's cupboard' Just now, and but $250
could be spared. The rest must be sub-
scribed by public-spirited, people who wish
to see the City Park made more Interest
ing to home people as well as visitors by
the acquisition of two specimens of an
animal that is growing rare.
Young, the owner of the buffaloes. Is
willing to let the animals go for 510001
though he asked $2SX at first, and prob-abi-
paid close to that sum originally.
But bunalo exhibiting Is not a very profit
able business, It appears, and he must dis
pose of the animals.
STILL W THE MR,
Lewis and Clark President Is Not
Chosen.
The presidency of the Xwis and Clark
Corporation is still in the air and will
remain so for the next ten days at least,
according to the decision reached by the
board of directors.
T. B. Wilcox and I. N. Flelschner were
the first men considered by the board
upon the declination of H. W. Scott to
stand for re-election. The demands made
upon Mr. Wilcox b his business forced
him to decline the offer of the omce, as
was the case with Mr. Flelschner.
At the present time H. W. Goode is one
of the most-talked-of men for the place
at the executive head of the corporation,
and one reason the consideration of tho
vacancy was postponed was to await Mr.
Goode's return to the cits.
Mr. Goode Is now the director-general of
the Exposition, and there Is a sentiment
among the members of the board of di
rectors against combining the two Of
fice. William D. Wheelwright is also men
tioned for the place. General T. M. Ander
son, H. M. Cake, H. C. Breeden and
others have also been spoken of as men
who would make excellent heads for the
corporation.
To relieve the pressure upon the presi
dent, the board will, it is said, saddle a
great many of the executive burdens upon
the executive committee. This may do
away with the objections of the men who
are too busy otherwise to handle the of
fice. It has now reached a pass, so a member
of the board has stated, where tho pres
ident will have to be sought for outside
the board of directors. For one reason
and another, none of the members of the
board can handle the place.
CAPTTJEED BY SHEBIET..
Tom Word Goes Out After Escaped
Prisoner.
Abe Lawrence, a notorious and desperate
criminal, who escaped from the County
Jail Monday, was captured by Sheriff Tom
Word, 24 miles up the Taylor Ferry road,
near West Portland, yesterday afternoon
and brought back In custody. He had
been hired to work on the road, and was
wielding a dangerous-looking pickax when
Sheriff Word walked, up to him and placed
his hand on his shoulder.
When the news came to the Court-House
that Lawrence had been seen working on
the road Sheriff Word did not wait for
a deputy, but set out after the outlaw
by himself. He took the car to Fulton,
near the site of the hidden dive he raided
Tuesday night, and set out up the long,
dusty road, probably wondering if his sec
ond chase after breakers of the law In
that vicinity would be as successful as the
first For an hour he climbed the steep
hill, through the deep dust. He passed
Carson Heights and was winding gradual
ly up to West Portland, when he came
upon the roadmakers. Lawrence did not
see him, but the Sheriff spotted his man
Immediately, and without warning, looned
over him as he worked and snapped a pair
of handcuffs upon him.
Abe Lawrence Is a criminal with a long
record behind him. He has served two
terms in the penitentiary, and at the
time of his escape had still 55 days to
Berve of a nine months' sentence.

Move for Protection Against Floods.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. July 32. This
year's recurrence of disastrous floods to
the Kaw Valley has brought the two Kan
sas Citys face to face with the vital Im

for the betterment of the situation here.

passed a resolution providing that a joint
conference of the officials of the two
cities and the two states be held at once,

the issue and sale of bonds if necessary
to secure the needed protection.

FLOAT IN PORTLAND

BANNER DISPLAYED AT RESIDENCE OF ELMER B. CO LWEIX, 975
CORBETT STREET.
The first Roosevelt and Fairbanks flag: to be displayed In Oresron floats over the
residence of Elmer B. Colwell, 975 Ccrbett street. Mr. Colwell, who was recently
elected to the State Legislature, to a. thorough Roosevelt man, and says he believes
in displacing- one'a colors bravely. The pennant in question Is white, and measures
32 feet long and six feet wide. The letters composing the names of the Presidential
candidates are In brilliant red, and are about 10 Inches high. They stand out In
marked contrast to the white background, and the general appearance of the flag is
ery attractive.
Mr. Colwell Is of the opinion that all loyal Republicans should display banners of
this kind, and sajs he Is convinced that it is a good way to do electioneering, espe
cially xvhen one lives on the car-line, where the flag Is seen by hundreds of people
cery day. He has had a number of Inquiries concerning It, as to where he bought
it, etc., but as he originated It, bad it made to order, all he con do is to describe
it. In the East this custom Is very general, and as soon as the conventions an
nounce the candidates, flags begin to appear on every housetop Indicating the polit
ical sentiment of the citizen who resides there. Mr. Colwell has the distinction of
being the first citizen of Portland or Oregon to fly a flag in honor of his chosen
candidates.
as usual in the morning with considera
ble cash and several safety deposit cer
tificates In his pocket. He was seen at
his office late In the afternoon, but did
not return to his home at Vermont and
Wisconsin streets. Southern Portland.
Since 5 o'clock last "Wednesday afternoon
he has apparently disappeared from, the
face of the earth.
The disappearance has been reported
'to the police, and a thorough search of
every conceivable place In the city has
been made. District Attorney John Man
ning, a personal friend of Mr. Palmer,
has joined in the unsuccessful search. It
is believed Mr. Palmer carried several
hundred dollars when last seen.
"My husband left home last Wednesday
morning just as usual," said Mrs. Palmer
last evening. "He had spoken of our
going out on the river that evening, and
had also spoken of my coming downtown
that we might have dinner together.
When he didn't come home for dinner,
I supposed he thought it was too cool to
go on the river. But I haven't seen him
since, though I have walked the streets
looking for him, and have asked all his
friends.
"Yes, It Is-true that he has occasionally
stayed away from home for a day or
two, but It was always when his busi
ness was going wrong. He left when his
business was never better and his home
was happy. "We had had no words at
all, and he had plenty of money. I can
not but think he has met foul play. Cer
tainly if he was in the city he would
have been heard from by this time.
Every place where any man could be
hidden away has been searched. I can't
stay In the house: I can't sit still any
where; I'll be in Salem If he Isn't found
pretty soon. I've cried until I can't cry
any more."
C. C. Palmer was -40 years of age. He
was about frve feet ten inches in height,
with blue eyes and blonde hair. When
he left home he wore gray trousers, a
black coat and vest and a black Fedora
hat. He was clean shaven.
DIES "WHILE AT HIS WORK.
Sudden
End of William Emerlck,
Aged 62 Years.
Death came instantly to William Em
erlck. aged 62 years, shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, as he was
trimming meat at Gill's butcher shop,
located at 512 Mississippi avenue. It Is
supposed that Bmerlck's death was due
to heart trouble, aggravated by a severe
cold.
At the time of his death, Mr. Emerlck
was trimming a quarter of beef at the
block. A customer entered the shop Just
In time to see Emerlck sink to the floor,
without so much as a groan. Dr. Hol
comb was immediately called, but the
physician announced that death had
been instantaneous. Coroner Flnley made
an examination and ordered the man's
remains to be prepared for burial.
Emerlck is well known among butchers
of the city, having been located In Port
land for years. He leaves a wife and
one son, who reside at S7V Russell street.
During the last week Mr. Emerlck suf
fered from a severe cold, which no doubt
aggravated a case of heart trouble of
long standing and caused his death.

DRINK WBECKED HIS LUE. ,
Wife of John Brill Tells a Tale of
' Sorrow in the Municipal Court. v
-
Twenty-seven years ago John Brill, a
young man of promise and good habits,
led a blushing bride to the altar and
began his married life. Yesterday the
same John Brill, a man wrecked through
love for strong drink, was before Judge
Hogue in the Municipal Court to answer
to justice for beating Jtnd choking his
wife and the mother of nine children, dur
ing a fit of intoxication.
Mrs. Sophia Brill eat In the witness box,
the, tears pouring from her eyes and her
frame shaken with sobs, and told the
story of happiness turned to grief and
sorrow through drunkenness. At times
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald, was
- "it
obliged to place hla ear almost to the
woman's lips to catch the words that
struggled through her sobs. Her face be
trayed a life of continual worry and fear.
As she left the witness stand she had to
be assisted to her eeat by friends who had
accompanied her to the court.
"He used to be a good man," said Mrs.
Brill. "Now he is drunk half the time,
and when he Is drunk he beats me. Yes
terday morning he left the house and re
turned a few hours later Intoxicated. I
was coming up from the basement. He
began to quarrel with m. and when I re
fused to answer him thinking he would
grow angry if I did, he came up behind me
and struck me in the neck. He knocked
me down, choked and continued to beat
me in the back and back of the neck. I
tried to get away, and finally the neigh
bors came and he turned to curse them.
Then I went to a neighbor's house across
the street and they cared for me."
Mrs. Brill's testimony was substantiated
by that of other witnesses, who stated
that Brill occasionally beat his wife, and
that but for the Interference of the neigh
bors he might have killed her on that oc
casion. Brill and his wife were married 27
yeara ago. They have nine children, of

turned to persecute them again. The" fam
ily lives at 837 East Ninth street. After
hearing the testimony In the case Judge

DOG-POISONER AT WORK.
Two Valuable Pointers His Victims
Reward of $200 Offered.
In spite of the fact that the local de
tectives were detailed by Chief of Police
Hunt to search for the cowardly persons
who have been poisoning blooded dogs
for the past six months, no arrests have
been made and the poisoning continues.
Among recent losses reported to the po
lice are those of G. E. Degolla, of 225
Mill street,md L. E. Armstrong,, of Oak
Grove. The latter owned Snaps, a pointer
dog, and the former Spunk, a pointer
bitch. Both .were perfectly broken field
dogs and valued highly. The dogs were
brother and sister, and were whelped
In the same litter.
Mr. Armstrong's dog died June 10, just as
Mr. Degolla arrived at Mr. Armstrong's
house to leave the sister of the dead dog
to be cared for. While Mr. Degolla was
visiting at Seaside the poisoner poisoned
the bitch. The two dogs were the last of
their breeding in the West, and their
loss Is mourned by dog fanciers for this
reason. The dogs were out of Flue, and
were sired by the well-known bench and
field-trial winner, Doc Temple.
A reward of 5100 has been, offered by
both Mr. Degolla and Mr. Armstrong for
the arrest and conviction of the poisoner,
and as the same person undoubtedly poi
soned both dogs, the $200 will be paid to
the man causing the first arrest and con
viction. -ELKS' EXCURSION.

NO CUT-RATE TO GOBLE.
The Astoria Railway May Charge
Full Prices.
Judge Bellinger yesterday, In the suit
of the United States against the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Company, ex
pressed an opinion that the company is
not required to transport freight and pas
sengers for the Government at one-half
of its regular rates.
Land-grant roads must carry Govern-
Pment freight and passengers at 50 per
cent of the regular charge. The Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Company uses
the track of the Northern Pacific Com
pany from Portland to Goble, and as the
Northern Pacific Is a land-grant road, the
question was raised if the Astoria line
does not also come under the half-rate
provision when it uses the track of a
land-grant line.
United States District Attorney John
H. Hall appeared for the Government,
and United States Senator Charles W.
Fulton for the railroad company. Judge
Bellinger, after a few minutes' question
ing, intimated that his decision will be
in favor of the Astoria & Columbia River
Railway Company. The position of both
sides will bo submitted briefly In writing,
and afterwards the decision of the court
will be made.

Ing Inspector Hulme, sanitary conditions
In the Park School will be improved by
the School Directors. Yesterday morning
the directors and Mr. Hulme visited the
schoolhouse, and made .Investigations of
all kinds. The ventilation was all right,
said Mr. Hulme, but th& toilet conveni
ences were all wrong, and finally all the
directors but Richard Williams agreed
with him.
To change the arrangement will cost
about $4000. But the directors believed that
a city official, such, as a Plumbing In
spector, has a right to order changes
made in a schoolhouse. Mr. Williams,
however, declared that the directors could
do as they pleased, so far as a Plumbing
Inspector was concerned. But it seems
that he was in the minority, and that the
changes will be made.

FIRST TO ANSWER CALL
FOURTEEN DELEGATES TO DE
VELOPMENT LEAGUE CHOSEN.
Chamber of Commerce Selects Its
Representatives G. A. R. Head
quarters Voted Down.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce is
the first organization In the state to re
spond to the call of the Commercial Club
for delegates to the Oregon Development
League, which Is to meet In the Marquam
Grand Theater, on Tuesday, August 2.
At a meeting of the trustees held yes
terday morning, W. J. Burns, the presi
dent of the Chamber; Samuel Connell, the
secretary; M. Moesessohn, E. T. Williams,
R. L. Darrow, J. L. Hardman, H. E.
Blossom, S. M. Mears, Henry Flecken
steln, Samuel Reed, A. Avery, Gustav
Rosenblatt, Fred Stanley and F. H. Ran
som were elected as the 14 delegates to
represent the Chamber of Commerce at
the sessions of the convention.
The request of the Grand Army dele
gates to the Boston National encampment
that the Chamber of Commerce help In
establishing headquarters for the Oregon
delegation while in Boston, by the sub
scription of $500 either alone or In con
Junction with the Lewis and Clark com
mission, was voted down, on the ground
that the matter belonged rather to the
jurisdiction of the Lewis and Clark com
mission than to the Chamber of Com
merce. The request of the same delegation in
regard to the co-operation of the Cham
ber in securing General Grant's log cabin
for ehlbltlon at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition was more fortunate, and res
olutions were passed and will be sent to
C. F. Blanke, of Chicago, who owns the
relic, praying for the privilege of bringing
the cabin here for the coming year.
Neither are the members of the Cham
ber of Commerce quite sure about the ex
tension of the Presidential term from
four to six years. The letter from the Na
tional Business Men's League of Chicago
asking for co-operation In agitating such
an amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion, was generally discussed and tabled.
Many of the members of the Chamber are
in favor of the propositions but do not like
to pledge the organization by resolution.
The Vulcan Coal Company and the firm
of Patterson, Smith & Pratt were elect
ed tQ membership In the Chamber of Com
merce at the trustees meeting, and tho
ladles of the Portland Woman's Club,
who had appointed a committee to co
operate in the development work being
done for the state, were thanked by vote
for their action and assured of the sym
pathy and help of the organization
A meeting of the navigation committee
of the Chamber of Commerce has been
called for Thursday morning next at 10:30
o'clock, when arrangements will be made
and committees appointed for the enter
tainment of the Merchant Marine Com
mission, which will be in Portland on
July 30.
CHANGE IN FIRST CALL.
Mayors and County Judges May Ap
point Ten Delegates.
Owing to the request of many of the
larger towns of the state where there is
not more than one commercial body, the
Commercial Club has changed its original
intention In Issuing the official call for
the Oregon Development League, which is
to meet In the Marquam Grand Theater
on August 2t and has raised the number
of delegates to be appointed by each
Mayor and County Judge from five to ten.
The letters calling the convention have
all been sent out and responses are be
glning to come in from the near-by
'places. From the Indications tne con
vention will be one ot tne largest, it not
the largest, ever held in the state.

Exhibits Attract Much Attention,
Says ex-Senator McBrlde.
Ex-United States Senator George W. Mc
Brlde, now a member of the National
Commission for the St. Louis World's
Fair, was in the city yesterday. Senator
McBrlde returned from St. Louis two,
weeks ago, but stopped only a few hours
in Portland, going immediately to his
home at St. Helens for a rest. He came
up yesterday and spent the day, calling
upon friends.
To a reporter for The Oregonlan he
talked entertainingly of the great Exposi
tion at St. Louis and the work of the Com
mission. "The Fair is a magnificent success, and
I shall always feel grateful that I have
been permitted to see so much of It.
Those who are familiar with expositions
havo told me that it is the greatest ever
held, as it Is by far the largest. It rep
resents the highest degree of excellence
which the skill and art of civilized men
can produce.
"One of the most attractive exhibits, to
my mind, is the Philippines display, prac
tically an exposition In Itself. It Is in
charge of Dr. Wilson, who delivered an
address at the dedication of the Oregon
building, a very competent gentleman.
Among the other Interesting features of
the Philippines exhibit Is a band of SO
pieces, composed of native musicians, and
one of the finest at the Fair. We were
fortunate enough to secure it for the dedi
cation of the Oregon building, although it
is in great demand.
"Oregon is splendidly represented at the
Fair and her exhibits are attracting a
great deal of attention, and the comment
seems to be Invariably commendatory. As'I
to the Oregon building, it Is one of the
most unique and Interesting on the
grounds. At first, I must confess, I was
not favorably impressed with It. I feared
I It salght convejr the Impression that
FORGET
frontier conditions still obtained here, but
I have found that such Is not the case,
and that people are greatly attracted to
It by reason of the historic events which
It suggests. It is serving to draw atten
tion to the Lewis and Clark expedition
and to advertise the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. While It Is, of course, not pre
tentious and entirely different from other
state buildings on the grounds, it Is credit
able to the state.
"The Oregon people who are at the
Fair In an official capacity are all doing
splendid work, and are enjoying them
selves. Through them the 1905 Fair is re
ceiving excellent advertising and I find
much interest manifested In it. The work
of exploitation 13 being well done, but
should not be abated for a moment.
"The work of our Commission has been
much more arduous than one might Im
agine. We have been holding sessions al
most every day since the Fair opened, and
I am glad to be at home for a vacation. I
shall return again about the first of Sep
tember.' Senator McBrlde expressed the greatest
confidence In the election of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks, but declined otherwise to
discuss state politics.
CARD OF THANKS.
Myself and son wish to thank our kind
friends and neighbors who. were so kind
and sympathized with us In our time of
sorrow on the death of our beloved father
and husband.
