Sale of Souvenir Gold Coins
Begins.
SOME HEAVY PURCHASES
First National Bank Buys 1522, and
Many Other Persons Buy the
Curios by the Dozen at
Reduced Rates.
Souvenir gold dollars to the number of
1522 were sold for $270?, representing a net
profit of $11S, at the main office of the
Xewis and Clark exposition, when busi
ness concluded there at 5 P. M. yesterday,
and different committees, especially the
souvenir committee, -who have -worked
hard on the project, are very much
pleased and think that there Is every pros
pect of the entire coinage being sold. The
largest customer was the First National
Bank, which purchased 1100 of the coins,
paying $2000. The first coin sold over the
counter at the offices of the corporation
was secured by Robert McGarvin, a mem
ber of the Chamber of Commerce, Los
Angeles, Cal.
Mr. McGarvin was -visiting, at 10:15 A.
M. yesterday. Secretary Henry E. Reed
regarding a proposed excursion of Los
Angeles business men to see the Exposi
tion shortly after it is opened, and men
tioned that the pilgrims would probably
come north by boat and return by rail
road. "I'll get to work on the proposition
as soon as I return to Los Angeles," re
marked ilr. McGarvin, preparing to leave.
Then he added: "When are the souvenir
coins on sale?"
Just then a messenger came In with a
precious parcel of gold, and Mr. McGarvin
was overjoyed to know that as he was on
the spot he was entitled to first choice.
"This is a piece of luck I never thought
of," he said, as he placed his gold dollar
carefully away. Mr. McGarvin stated that
there is a great deal of interest taken
throughout California in the approaching
Exposition in this city, and thought it
likely that Southern California may have
a separate exhibit here. He also sug
gested that Frank "Wiggins, secretary of
the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce,
be placed in charge of Southern Califor
nia's exhibit.
A representative of the First National
Bank stated that quite a number of mall
orders for the coins had arrived at the
bank from customers, and at first 500
coins "were sent to the bank, $1000 being
paid for them. Later in the day the bank
people took 600 additional coins, again pay
ing $2 each.
This is the list of those who purchased
the coins at the offices of the corporation
up to the hour of closing yesterday after
noon: Number Amount

This is the text of the resolution adopt
ed by the souvenir coin committee last
Tuesday In appreciation of the co-operation
of the women of Portland in the sale
of the gold dollars:
6n motion, it was ordered that a vote of
thanks be tendered tft Mrs. Henry E Jones,
Mrs. "tt S. Ladd. Mrs. C. H. Lewis. Miss
Hoyt and the ladies who are co-operating with
them to popularize the buying of Lewis and
Clark eouvenir dollars. Ordered, further, that
a vote ol thanks be tendered to the following
ladies who have made their homes depots for
the sale of the coins: Mrs. O. H. Lewis,
Nineteenth and Glisan streets; Mrs. Henry E.
Jones, 49 North Seventeenth street; Mrs. W.
S. Ladd. Sixth and Columbia 6treets; Miss
Morris, 190 King street; Miss Stelnbach, 341
Eleventh street; Miss Joseph!, 132 East
Twelfth street; Miss Ruth Maxwell, 675 Flan
ders street; Miss Stott. 349 Jefferson street.
Measures will be taken to push the sale
of the coins, and arrangements will be
made to that effect with banks all over
this state. President Jefferson Myers, of
the State Commission, thinks that the
Exposition management will certainly sell
at least 100,000 of the souvenir dollars, and
also suggests that these dollars be placed
on sale at $1.93 each at department stores
throughout the country, for three hours
on some specified, afternoon.
PI0HEER RESIDENT TO RETURN
M. Seller Will Make Trip From Ham
burg to Lewis and Clark Fair.
M. Seller, a pioneer resident and bus
iness man of this city, whose name
has graced a sign on Front street for
47 years, but who for a number of
years has resided in Hamburg, and
acted as purchasing agent for the firm
of M. Seller & Co., -which is managed
by his son, writes that he is bound to
arrive here next year, to attend the
Lewis and Clark Fair, and intimates
That he may remain here permanently.
Although he has been obliged to re
main in Hamburg, his old home, seven
years, and his three daughters have
married there, ho has never forgotten
Portland, and still says there is no
place like Oregon, and ho has always
been longing to get back. He actually
had tickets for tho journey here,
bought last year, but was obliged to
give up the trip. He heartily approves
of the Lewis and Clark Fair, and says
he is determined to get here next year
for several reasons. He waiits to see
how Portland has grown since he left
and ho cannot imagine why the Fair
is to be held down at Guild's Lake,
which, as he remembers, was away
"below town, in the country, and a
place for ,duck-hunting. He is also
anxious to know why it was necessary
for his business to be removed off
Front street and away back, the man
ager having leased the north half of
H. Weinhard's seven-story block and
is now making ready to move Into it
He says the location of this building
was away out in the timber when he
was familiar with the city, and that
ho sever contemplated having to move
off Front street, after doing business
there so long.
He concludes by remarking that he
will probably not-know the city, as it
must have grown beyond anything he
ever dreamed of, and says that he
wants to see the Selllng-Hlrsch build
ing and its surroundings, as he once
owned the block at "Washington and
Tenth streets, on which it stands, and
remembers having taken a walk out
there on Sunday with his family to
look at It, and that they were all
thoroughly tired out when they re
turned from this excursion into the
country, there being no street-cars at
that time. Doubtless Mr. Seller will
be surprised when he arrives here and
has taken a view of tho city from the
loop on Portland Heights.
LAY CORNERSTOINE SATURDAY
Appropriate Ceremonies Will Be Held
at Baby Home.
Tho cornerstone of tho new Baby Home
Is to bo laid with appropriate ceremonies
at 3 P. M. on Saturday. The details are
not yet completely arranged, but the full
programme will be published In due time.
The new building, which has been the
dream of the managers of the Institution
for several years, is sadly needed. The
old structure, which was erected somo 13
years ago, when the requirements of a
Baby Home were not fully understood,
has served Its day and has been outgrown.
All who have visited it during several
years past agree with the directors that
It should be discarded and a larger and
more modern one built.
The plans for the new structure com
prise all conveniences and Improvements
found in the best Institutions of the kind,
special attention having been given to
these and sanitary conditions. Though It
will be a beautiful and roomy building.
It will be plain and simple, entirely de
void of ornament in order to reduce the
cost to a minimum.
The Home will be located on the beau
tiful tract in "Waverly Addition, containing
an acre, a part of the old Clinton Kelly
donation land claim which was donated
to the Baby Home in lKtf by the late J.
TV. Kern and his wife, Mrs. Sarah M.
Kern, daughter of Father Kelly. The gift
was made as a tribute to the memory of
an Infant daughter, who died a few years
before. The old building is now to be
removed to one corner of the tract, and
will be fitted up to serve as a hospital for
the Institution when necessary.
The Baby Home is often confounded
with the Children's Home, a totally differ
ent institution, which is located on Corbett
street in the southern part of the city on
a block donated to the Ladies' Relief So
ciety by Henry Villard, and which only re
ceives children of 3 years and upwards.
The funds necessary for the erection of
the Baby Home, electric lighting and
heating aparatus, have been provided for,
but for the equipment of the building $5000
more will be required and must be raised.
The officers of the institution, who have
labored indefatigably for years without re
ceiving or wishing to receive any remu
neration for the time and labor, are: Mm
L. W. SItton, president; F. T. Akin, sec
retary, and A. L. Keenan, treasurer.
These were recently re-elected, and they
look forward to the amount required be
ing supplied by an appreciative public
Formerly there were a few persons
who, while in the main, charitable, ob
jected to aiding this institution on the
ground that by receiving Illegitimate chil
dren it fostered rather than prevented
evil, but this prejudice has died out in
view of the benefits it has conferred upon
widowed mothers dependent upon them
selves for support, and on fathers desolate
and helpless when left with motherless
babies, and on the orphan and friend
less. '
The explanation of th situation as set
forth by Mrs. SItton In one of her annual
reports in the following terms, has done
much toward dissipating this prejudice:
"There are some of Illegitimate birth
received In the Baby Home, but where is
thero more need of sympathy than toward
babes bo'rn with a stigma that makes an
additional burden for after life 7 If we can
help such (even though the number were
much greater) to homes where they are
welcomed and reared to lives of useful
ness and self-reliance, can any one say
that such an institution fosters evil?
"Not all Illegitimate children are from
degraded parents. In our work we meet
many heart-broken mothers whose one
sad experience has brought sorrow almost
unbearable to be carried through a life
of regret and remorse.
"Sometimes circumstances are such that
the child must be given up, but oftener
we find an unwillingness to do that, and
It Is cared for at the expense of the hard
working mother, left alone in her misery
and grief.
"Great Is the pity that the one who
shared the sin, and Is ofttimes the chief
In error, escapes the responsibility and
extreme suffering consequent to the
wrong-doing.
"Since the opening of the present home
over 70 children have been placed for
adoption In with perhaps two or three ex
ceptionsmost desirable homes, thereby
making the homeless child and the child
less home happier and better.
"Is not this branch of the work com
mendable and worthy of assistanco and
encouragement?
"In the management of the home two
principles are paramount: That no worthy
parent be refused assistance, neither shall
he or she be permitted to lose the feeling
of natural responsibility and self-respect
by being relieved of all parental obliga
tion. Unless circumstances make it ab
solutely Impossible some remuneration,
even though it bo not more than U per
month, is exacted, and, as it occasionally
happens, when both parents are living
and able-bodied, full price for board is re
quired. It should be stated, however, that
these cases aro rare, and would never be
admitted to the exclusion of the more
needy."
INVITED TO VISIT PORTLAND.
Governor Mickey, of Nebraska, and
Staff May Come.
President H. M. Cake, of the Commer
cial Club, yesterday afternoon extended
an official imitation in behalf of the
club, to Governor John H. Mickey, of Ne
braska, to visit Portland on October 6.
Governor Mickey, accompanied by his
staff and a number of the distinguished
citizens of tho state, will leave Lincoln
on October 3 for Seattle, to be present at
the launching of the battleship Nebraska,
now nearing completion in that city. They
were invited by President Cake to spend
one day in Portland as the guests of the
club, and should they decide to accept
the invitation, special arrangements will
bo made for the entertainment of the
party.
The day here will not interfere in any
way with the plans of the visitors rela
tive to their trip to Seattle, as the train
connections will allow of a day here with
out loss of time on the trip. For this
reason it is expected that the Invitation
will be favorably considered and the club
will make plans accordingly.

PORTLAND CHINESE BOYS RETURN FROM
7000-MILE TRIP
W. B. MOY.
For their first trip away from the Pacific Coart, "W. B. and C. "W. Moy, sens of a
Portland Chinese merchant nave traveled over 7000 miles, visiting the St. Louis
World's Fair, Washington, New York, Philadelphia- and Chicago. They have Just
returned home. Both were born In Portland, their father having lived here for 40
years.
The Chinese exhibit at the World's Fair was one of the Interesting elghta to the
young American-born Chinese. "I talked to the Vice-Commissioner, Mr. Wong,
about bringing the exhibit to the Lewis and Clark Exposition," said W. B. Moy,
last evening. "The exhibit shows how the working classes live In China, and I be
lieve it would be a benefit to the man who is trying to fell goods In China to see
Just what is used there now. It Is a big exhibit, with a number of people In charge
of it I met the Chinese Minister in Washington, as well as his assistant, and they
showed me through the city. It's our first trip off this Coast and we saw a lot of
new things. The fair is so big that though we were in Bt Louis two weeks, all we
could do was to walk around and look about a little." Moy Back Hin. proprietor of

expected, the seats on the stage will be
reserved for specially invited guests, but
there will be no scats reserved in the
galleries or main floor, with the possible
exception of a few for guests from the
interior.
That the Republicans of Oregon are
counted upon to keep up the majority se
cured in June, Is evidenced by the fol
lowing circular-letter being sent out to
committeemen all over the state by
Chairman Baker:
Portland. Sept. 21. My Dear Fellow-Worker

HIS DEATH -REG-RETTED
Under a Cr tisty Exterior Henry Weinhard Hid a
Generous Heart and Strong, Genuine Personality.
HERB are two typical expressions re
garding the late Henry "Welnhard:
"God -bless his soul I can't talk
about him I choke up I knew him 30
years."
"Ho was my friend I knew him since
'04. He was the best man I ever knew."
When a wealthy "prominent cltlren"
dies and the reporter goes about among
surviving prominent citizens to get a talk
concerning the departed, he always re
ceives more or less stereotyped eulogies,
delivered with solemnity and sincere re
spect It is comparatively rare that one
after another of a dead citizen's old busi
ness acquaintances should deliver them
selves with such evidence of genuine feel
ing as did so many of the pioneer brew
er's yesterday.
From C. H. Meusdorffer, George Lang
ford, Adolph Burckhardt, F. Bottefuhr,
Henry Everdlng and many others enough
was gathered to indicate that under a
crusty exterior, Henry Weinhard hid a
generous heart and a certain personality,
strong and genuine, the recollection of
which moistens the eyes of his old associ
ates when they talk of him.
That he gave with extraordinary liber
ality in private is a fact known . to his
Intimate friends, but whether his will con
tains any bequest to public charity can
not be ascertained until the document is
made public Those who knew him best
think it is doubtful, as Mr. Welnhard
cared nothing for fame for benevolence,
posthumous or otherwise. ,
The story of Henry Weinhard's rise ap
pears to contain no new elements. He
worked hard at whatever came to his
hand until he saw and grasped the oppor
tunity to establish the business to which
his early training had adapted him. After
that It was simply a matter of devotion to
business, of careful management and some
favorable circumstances.
At first when the brewery was almost
back in the woods, Mr. Welnhard brewed
all the output while his then partner
drove the wagon. In '69 the product was
some 12 barrels of beer a day. As time
went on and the business Increased, the
brewery remained the dear object of Mr.
Weinhard's thought and heart He was
there, day and night Theaters and other
forms of popular amusement had no at
tractions for him. "The business was first
and last with him," said Adolph Burck
hardt, "and he always held the lines and
sat on the driver's seat himself."
Money losses never seemed to worry
him. He did not cry over spilled milk.
Perhaps the thing that touched him
keenest in all h(s business career was
when he had trouble with the unions and
a boycott was declared on his beer. Even
tually he capitulated. One day not long
thereafter he was approached by some
citizens on a business project
"Don't come to me," he is reported to
have said. "Go out thero and talk with
citizen of Oregon is, "What might President
Roosevelt and hia immediate official family be
constrained to think of us out here If we
should let this coming election go by default;
that Is, if the active Republicans of Oregon
should sit Idly by and make no effort to get
out the vote and our majority for him in. No
vember should fall below our plurality for
Judge Moore in June? -Will our delegation in
the Congress la that event have a. call upon
him? There la something else In this state
besides politics; there Ja a commercial end to
our efforts!
On the 6th of June there were polled in
Oregon 100,000 votes say, our party's plurality
being 25 per cent thereof. Let us all work
for as large a poll as possible In November.
Let us emphasize the importance commercially
of Oregon's vote increasing every election. In
1000 we cast 84,000 odd votes. If we cast but
100,000 this coming Presidential election, what
sort of a showing will that be to Intending
emigrants those people in the East who are
dissatisfied with their present conditions, and
are looking to the West particularly In the
face of our Just claims of an Increasing popu
lation? Over in the Stat of Washington they will
C. B. MOY.
elect ell their county and district officers on
the Sth of next November; hence all the,can
dldates over there will assist In getting out
the vote, while here In our state we have but
four Presidential electors to elect Four years
ago that state cast 107.600 odd votes 23,500
odd more than Oregon that year! What will
the people back East think of us if we fail to
cast as many votes this coming election as
Washington did four years ago, or as many
as we cast last June?
One of the very best investments the Repub
licans of Oregon and citizens generally can
make Is to avail themselves of their franchise
on the 8th day of next November and exceed
their efforts of the Cth day of last June! It
will enhance the value of our property, and it
will cause many emigrants to come to Oregon
who otherwise will go to Washington. Why,
when they observe the disparity In the voto of
the two states, they may Imagine that many
of tho people, of Oregon have moved over Into
Washington! I urge you to Invite all your
neighbors Democrats as well as Republicans
everybody to swell the vote In your precinct
Let our watchword, our password, our slo
gan, from now until the evening of the 8th
day of next November, bo "Thirty Thousand
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks!" And having at
heart tho best Interests of our highly-favored
Btatc. let us all, for commercial reasons, if
nothing else, work energetically for a larger
vote In November than in June. And, sir, at
the next full meeting of the State Committee
I will Bubmit that Just recognition of your co
operation be manifested. Your obedient ser
vant FRANK C. BAKER,
Chairman Republican State Committee.
my men; they are running -my business."
Nevertheless the federated trades of
this city have known few who have been
so generous with subscriptions, as he for
such things as their picnics, outings and
other entertainments. "I never knew him
to turn down a workingman or woman'
that came to him In trouble," said one of
his oldest acquaintances yesterday.
He was a generous employer. For years
the brewery hands boarded with Mrs.
Welnhard, and the best of the market was
always supplied them.
Like all legitimately successful business
men, Mr. Welnhard was something of a
general. He observed the men he em
ployed, and when a man once had his
confidence that man was selected for a
certain line of work. Outside that line
he must not interfere, for the brewer did
not hesitate to say: "That's none of your
business."
Those whom he did not like he avoided.
He would not speak to them. On the
other hand, for an employe to get a
tongue-lashing from Henry Welnhard was
seldom considered a mark of grave dis
approval. "He just did it to wake some of us up
now and then."
But Heaven help one who thought to
fool or cheat the old man in any way.
Once convinced of such attempt his "call
down" was unmerciful and his business
and social relations with the culprit
ceased forever. Among his employes it
was cqneeded that hl3 "bark was worse
than his bite" in the friction of every
day work. He would brook no contradic
tion or crossing of his will In any re
spect Many instances are told of his crusti
ness when approached by people seeking
subscriptions for charitable purposes, yet
from that same crustiness came a gener
ous giving that Burorlsed the visitors.
"Why'ro you coming around at this
hour to ask a man for money?" he once
demanded of a committee headed by
Thomas N. Strong. "I don't know that
I've anything for you here." But he
pulled the cash-drawer from the safe at
his elbow, and dumping tho entire con
tents on the desk before them, said testily:
"There, take what there Is there," and
left the room.
Upon counting up the committee found
themselves in possession of $340.
Charity solicitors learned that afternoon
was the best time to approach the brewer.
With him business came first. He almost
Invariably attended to his Important af
fairs In the forenoon. These out of the
way ho would gravely remark to some
friend or lieutenant:
"Now, let's have a drink."
After that the day became mellower,
though Mr. Welnhard was never an in
temperate man. The great business he
estahliflhPf? wmntnc nftnv n Tnrtnllmnnf
to a man that kept a clear head for tho I
work which he never dropped until death
arrested his hand.
STORE'S FALL OPENING
BRILLIANT DISPLAY AT OLDS,
WORTMAN & KING.
Brown's Orchestra Plays Music While
Throngs of Visitors View the
Latest Fashions.
Arrayed in gorgeous Autumn color
ing, enhanced by the brown, russet and
crimson hues of the vine maple, and
myriads of redcapped electric tapers,
the stores of Olds, Wo'rtman & King
were thrown open yesterday for pub
lic inspection of Fall and Winter
styles. The whole building was ablaze
with bright lights, artistitc decorations
and beautiful display of Paris gowns
and millinery, and from early morning
until the doors closed at 6 P. M. tho
house was thronged with the elite of
Portland. The color note carried out
in the decorations was indicative of
the fashionable shades for Autumn
wear, the artistic shading- of the vine
maple matching many of the displays
perfectly. In addition to wagonloads
of the maple, Innumerable redcapped
lights were used with marvelous effect
throughout the store, and sprays of red
popples were gracefully twined about
them. These decorations represented
four months' work by 20 girls, who
have spent their evenings during that
period in fashioning the delicate shades
for the lights and the floral displays.
In the center of the stores, where all
floors for galleries overlooking an
opening which reaches from first story
to skylight, a huge crimson globe sur
rounded by innumerable smaller ones,
and intertwined with garlands of pop
pies, was suspended, spreading a glory
of crimson light over every floor of
the building. Several representatives
of large Eastern firms were in the
city during the day, and it was their
verdict that no Fall opening- west of
Chicago had equaled this one.
While the decorations were confined
to the upper stories, the departments
of the ground floor made beautiful dis
plays of the new Fall goods. An elab
orate display of linens, and of silk and
woolen dress goods, was noticeable,
and the lesser departments all attract
ed particular attention.
On the second floor, where the prin
cipal display was made, beautiful
Paris gowns, to the value of thousands
of dollars, were displayed, and pattern
hats from the leading milliners of
France and America tempted tho vis
itors to make early purchases. The
very newest shade for Fall wear is
designated "onion," and shades from
the much-favored champagne tint to
a dark brown hue. It is a color which
Is trying to some types, but lights up
beautifully at night and is destined' to
be popular. Greens are also In high
favor this season, the hunter's shade
being especially popular.
Miss Bernard, of the suit department.
who spent the early season in New
York, has brought to Portland somo
of the handsomest Paquin and Schroder
models ever seen on the Coast. They
are marvels of grace and coloring and
equal to any that can be purchased in
the East The new sleeves are the
most Important feature of the Autumn
styles, and the fashion of wearing
velvet bodices with cloth skirts has
been revived. Entire velvet gowns are
also worn extensively, and the Peplln
skirt effects in coat3, and the Direc
toire style are much in vogue. All
of these undlsputable decrees of Dame
Fashion are elaborately illustrated at
this opening.
To Mr. George Kllton, who is to
leave soon to accept a position in tho

"Under Two Flags."
This Is the biggest week yet at the
Columbia Theater. "Under Two Flags,"
founded on Ouida's immortal romance, is
the strongest kind of a play, full of in
tense interest and telling tho beautiful
story of Cigarette's life sacrifice for the
sake of the man she loves. The audiences
see that MIs3 Countlss puts true fire into
Cigarette and exhibits exquisite art in her
impersonation of this fascinating char

Baume, by an effort of lofty art and
strangely Influential magnetism, compels
the audience to admire and love the grand
fellow whom he represents. There Is not

CHARGED WITH MURDER
FIVE ITALIANS ARE BOUND OVER
TO GRAND JURY.
Preliminary Examination In Muni
cipal Court Reveals Evidence That
Conflicts With Italians' Stories.
The five Italians who were in the Breuer
saloon last Thursday night when Propri
etor Gus Breuer was shot to death will
have to answer to the grand jury on
charges of first-degree murder. At the
conclusion of their preliminary examina
tion In Judge Hogue's Court yesterday
the quintet was bound over without bonds
and sent to secure cells In the County
Jail for safe-keeping" pending their ap
pearance before the grand jury.
The case against the defendants camo
far from falling flat, as it had been pre
dicted by many of those familiar with
the case. It was shown that the de
fendants were the only ones In the sa
loon at the time; that the stories told by
them of the killing were conflicting and
not convincing and that the shots ap
peared to have been fired from Inside
the saloon rather than from without, as
the Italians said.
The most important evidence against
the five was given by J. R. Radls, pro
prietor of a rooming-house over the sa
loon, and Dr. George Wilson, who con
ducted a post-mortem examination over
Breuer's body.
Radls, in his testimony, said he was
awakened about 11:30 o'clock by the sounds
of a disturbance in the saloon. A few
minutes later he heard a number of
shots In rapid succession. Rushing to the
window he looked out and saw three
Italians, who told him some one had mur
dered Breuer.
This testimony conflicts with the claims
of the defendants that a carpqitor named
Lewis stole quietly upon Breuer from
the rear of the saloon and shot him with
out warning. Dr. Wilson caused another
of the defendant's claima to seem at vari
ance with the facts In the case. In his
testimony regarding the course taken by
the bullets which entered the murdered
man. Dr. Wilson said one of the bullets
had passed entirely through the body and
the presence of the bullet In the rear
wall of the saloon would seem to Indi
cate that the shot had been fired at
Breuer by some one Inside of the saloon.
Detective Welner testified that one of
the Italians. John ValentlnettI, told con
filcting stories of the killing when close
ly questioned. The man seemed very ill
at ease and troubled during the trial,
and shifted uneasily In his seat each time
he was pointed out by one of the wit
nesses. The other four. Louis La Porta,
Joe Manglnelll, Tony De Iuro and Tony
De Glulio,' bore the ordeal with the stoic
Ism characteristic of their race.
