THE MOHNINGF . OREGDNIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 190i.N II QUIET AT CENTRAL" Operators Await Decision of Telephone Company. IT WILL BE GIVEN TONIGHT Girls Demand Reinstatement of Two Dismissed Employes and Return to Former Wage System Where Increase to $40 Was Possible. Quiet reigned at "central" yesterday, and while each operator was full to the point or exploding of small talk and gossip concerning their strike of "Wednesday afternoon, the matter was not discussed openly In the main office. Tonight Division Manager J. H. Thatch er will report Just what the company will do with the demands of the griev ance committee of the telephone oper ators and the girls will await Mr. Thatcher's report with great interest. Some of the skeptical ones see in the two days' grace asked for by Mr. Thatcher, a pica for time in which to get new operators in Portland in order to take the places or tne siriKers. it was also rumored among the operators that instructions had been received from the main office In San Francisco which was to the effect that unless all of the girls reported for wor,k yes terday morning they-were to be dls charged, also all girls who had joined the union were scheduled tor aecapi tation. If such an order was recelyed it was not posted. While peace prevailed among the operators yesterday, it does not mean that the trouble Is over. The girls de clare that if there Is an attempt on the part of the company to dismiss those who took part in the strike, or not to meet their demands, another walkout will be ordered. Miss Ada Ripley and Miss Ruth Lee, the two girls who were dismissed by Miss Mary Cooper, the service man ager, were reinstated. This was one of the grievances that the operators claim they have against Miss Cooper noTthe company, and In a measure it was set tled when Mr. Thatcher reinstated the two trirls. Another point which remains to be settled tonight Is the demand for the rescinding of the new rigid sys tem of rules which has been adopted since Miss Cooper came to Portland. They also demand a return to the old system of advance in salaries. Under the old system of advance in salaries It was possible for a girl after she had been with the company a stated time, and served her apprenticeship, to earn 540 a month. Now the girls claim that under Miss Cooper the best salary that a girl can earn Is $32.50. The girls also say that it has been Miss Cooper's aim to get rid of the few girls that were fretting $40 a month and to fill their places at a. much less salary. While the linemen have not declared themselves, it is understood that In case the girls walk out again and the company attempts to 1111 their places by importing girls, they will go out on a sympathetic strike. This move, how ever, will not take place until after the meeting tonight. At this meeting It is expected that G. P. Robinson, traffic manager of the company at San Fran cisco, will be present. Mr. Robinson is headed this way and will in ail proba bility take part In tonight's meeting. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. The Woman of It. The final scene in "An American Citi zen," the Columbia stock company's cur rent presentation, is recognized by author ities as a standard of all that is beautiful in dramatic construction. It is enacted by Cruger (Mr. Baume) and his wife, Beatrice (Miss Countlss). She has come to his now humble dwelling on Christmas eve after their long separation. She ques tions her husband husband in name only concerning the woman whom she wrong fully believes he loves. And In this lan guage ho describes the bitterness of his life apart from her and makes known for the first time that she Is the real object of his adoration: "How cruel you women are. You never spare us. Tou Impale us. You drive the htake well home, and not content with our wrlthlngs, exact from us a detailed account of our sufferings. Why, the little boy Is more merciful to the beetle. When you first entered my office that day, I looked and saw only a pretty girl In a black frock whose misfortunes entitled her to sympathy. When, after our un ceremonious wedding, you bade me good bye, you had suddenly become something more, and as I watched the carriage bear you away. I already regretted the mar riage which had raised a bar to our fu ture acquaintance. When we met again, I thought I noticed a change In you and began to hope that the stringency of our compact might be relaxed. Then came the news that killed all such expectations. Your hero lived! I must set you free, for your happiness was now paramount. Then I discovered the man his unworthlness, and I should have told you. but I was jealous of the additional regard that I should win for him by seeking to Injure him in your sight You see, I am only human and I was In love hopelessly in love." Madeline Lucette Ryley. in the above, does what few female authors liave dared. She boldly shows Cruger as afraid to ex pose a scoundrel to his love for fear her woman's heart would love him all the more. At Cordray's Next. The cheerless plains of far-away Siberia, the pride and cruelty of mighty Russia, now locked in a death-embrace with little Japan; the love of a Prince of royal blood for a little peasant girl and the touches of comedy which illuminate it, make "For Her Sake," the big spectacular melodrama which comes to Cordray's for next week. a play of absorbing interest. It will open with a matinee Sunday, and on account of the widespread Interest in the present war which Russia has forced upon Japan it snouia De witnessed by crowded houses at every performance.

Cyril Scott played Sir Richard, In which Mr. Bloom- quest will be seen. Cathrlne Countlss has "Viola Allen's role of Rosamond, and Louisa Brandt will play Maude Fretwell, origi nated by Ethel Barrymore, The fact that players of such renown appeared In the first New Tork produc tion speaks for the power of the drama.

Indeed, Is one that has not yet been treated to an afternoon at the Star Theater. "The Flip Mr. Flop." It is not because Rube "Welch built and launched the Columbia Theater that his ensracrement at the Lyric this week has been the biggest drawing card which the Lyric has ever secured. For jo ana more years Mr. Welch has been one of the best-known light and character comedians in the country and his fame had preceded him to Portland. When it was an nounced that he and his company would appear at the Lyric In their Inimitable farce, "The Flip Mr. Flop," the public knew that something good would be offered. The public guessed right Mr. Welch is a delightful interpreter of comedy roles and Is thoroughly at home as the excrutlatingly funny "Mr. Flop."

This family playhouse is the only one which Introduces this weekly Innovation on Its programme, and every Friday night a number of amateurs avail themselves of the opportunity to appear in public and compete for applause with the professionals. HYDRANTS FOB EAST SIDE. Many More to Be Placed Protection From Damage Needed. The East Side secures 51 of the new fire hydrants recently ordered, and they will be placed where they will fur nish the most protection. There Is a great territory on the East Side, In the outlying districts, of which there Is scarcely any lire protection. District Engineer Holden has gone carefully over the field and selected places where hydrants are specially needed. He says that 54 will hardly go all around in the needful places, but will greatly help. Mr. Holden .says that something should be done to protect fire hydrants from being damaged. "There are many ways by which the fire hydrants are damaged and caused to leak," he says, "mainly from being used by the em ployes of the city, but sometimes by private parties. The employes of the city do not hesitate to use any kind of a wrench to turn on the water for the street sprinklers and the sewer gangs. The result Is that the hydrants are con stantly caused to leak. An ordinary wrench is generally used with a nail to make It fit. None but the proper in strument should bo used, and none other can bo used without doing more or less damage to the hydrant The employes say It is the city and makes no difference, when a protest is made, but the fact is the fire hydrants should be protected from damage, no matter who uses water from them. Private parties are required to de posit $5 to pay for any damages, be sides being required to obtain permis sion from the water committee, and there should also be some way to make all others responsible for damages." The new hydrants will be put in within a month. SAINTS ARE GATHERING. New Meetlng-Houso on Hawthorne Avenue Is Opened. The meeting-house on Hawthorne ave nue, near East Sixth street, was conse crated last night by the opening services of the annual assembly of the saints of "God's Church." Under direction of Elder G. T. Neal the building has been com pleted for this event. The services were held in the auditorium. Delegates came during the day from different portions of the Northwest, and wore provided with quarters either in the meeting-house or in the homes of neighbors. At 7:35 last night the auditorium was fairly well filled and services were com menced by singing. There was no choir, no director of music, but the old-fashioned congregational singing with vigor. The choruses were rendered with an almost startling sweep to one accustomed to the polished cadences of church music At times, when the climax was reached, half a hundred bands would be extended up ward from the congregation. Then followed prayer by Elder Neal and some others. All this time no one was on the plat form. The altar was vacant. There was the Bible on the altar, but there was no preacher, no leader. These people believe In divine leadership. They wait until some saint in the audience is divinely Inspired to get up and walk to the platform, open the Bible, select a text and preach. After more singing and a moment of silent wait leg for the Inspiration to direct some one to preach, Elder O. A- Chapman, of Col fax. Wash., was the one pointed out to preach. The services will continue at 1050 A. M. and 7:30 P. M. until October 23. Suggests "Holduper." PORTLAND, Oct 13. (To the Editor.)

SENT FOR TWENTY YEARS SULLIVAN GIVEN MAXIMUM SEN TENCE FOR ROBSERY. Judge George Makes Example of the Leader In Jail-Breaking Plot Twelve Years for Smith. John Sullivan, who was concerned in five holdups recently, the net results of which were a watch, W-S5 and a few plugs of tobacco, was sentenced, to 20 Hears In the penitentiary by Judge George yesterday, that being the maximum pen alty provided by law. His partner In crime, Herman Smith, received a sentence of 12 years. Sullivan was given the full limit be cause he was the ringleader In the at tempt to break jail on Monday night, and the court was also Inclined to mete out severe punishment as a" warning to others and with a view to breaking up the holdup business. Smltu was dealt with more leniently oa account of his youth, 18 years, and for the reason that he was not a party to the attempted jail delivery. He was not confined in the same corridor. The prisoners both entered a plea of guilty to a joint information charging them with robbing John Sellbrieder on the night of October 2 and putting him in fear for his life with a revolver. They took a watch from him. After the pleas had been entered. Jailer Grafton, who was In the courtroom, was called upon and made a complete statement regarding the jail-delivery plot, the same as has been published. Sullivan, when afforded an opportunity to speak in his own behalf, stated that ho Is 24 years old and came here from Wisconsin. He denied having committed any crime except the one which he had Just acknowledged, and said he had never served a previous term of Imprisonment. When asked if he had anything to say concerning the jallbreak affair, he an swered, "No." Smith, his associate, told the court he came hero from the East two years ago and had been going around with Sullivan for a week nrlor to their arrest. He said he had no past criminal record; In pronouncing sentence Judge George commented upon the , enormity of the crime of highway robbery, where peace able residents on their way to their homes were stopped by masked men at the muz zles of revolvers, their valuables forcibly taken from them and their Hve3 Jeopar dized. The perpetrators, the court said. deserved the most severe punishment the statute accords, both to punish them and to deter others. The holdup business. Judge George said, must be stopped. Sul livan was a very dangerous man, on his own admissions and plea, and It was proper that he be Incarcerated for a long time to prevent his preying upon the pub lic and society. Smith, because of his youth and the fact that he pleaded guilty and was not concerned In the plot to break jail, was entitled to lesser .punishment. CHILDREN CAN PLAY WITH THEM Nurse Testifies to the Harmlessness of Insane People. Mrs. Irvine, who served for 14 years as attendant and in other capacities among Insane people, testified that she had seen children playing on the lawn at the Salem asylum and that patients tooK care or tnexn. This evidence was given before Judge Frazer yesterday at the trial of the suit of P. S. Hansen and other resi dents of Mount Tabor, against the san itarium company to cause the removal of the sanitarium from Tabor Heights. Mrs. Irvine also stated that she had never known insane people who were allowed parole liberty to injure outside persons. Other cases were taken out for- walks under the supervision of guards with perfect safety. She said the Alaska insane transferred from the Salem institution to the sanitarium were not dangerous. She escorted five of them on the train from Salem to Portland without assistance. Mrs. Lida Sleight, who once lived at Tabor Heights, testified that her child ren played within the sanitarium, in closure. They picked weeds and flowers and sometimes brought home cucum bers and apples. She never felt at all alarmed for their safety. Tlpy were never disturbed and she did not feel afraid. The family was not annoyed in the least N. P. Scruggcrt, H. L. Provost, S. W. Relgle and M. L. Bowers, who reside near the sanitarium, testified that they were not disturbed by it. Judge Carey endeavored to show by these witnesses that the building of the sanitarium was an improvement to the locality, and that it was placed there because It was a quiet suburban spot where it was thought It would not interfere with anybody. Medical witnesses examined regard ing insane of various classes, and their care, were Drs. Andrew C. Smith, E. L. Irwla and C D. Johnson. The trial will be resumed today. CANT GET DOUBLE PAY.

(To the Editor.) No ticing a letter in The Oregonlan of October 1 by one Francis B. Llvesley on "Publlo Schools Aid Socialism," we desire to say a few words In reply, which we trust you will print. Our correspondent la one of those who are contin ually crying: "Back to primal chaos and night!" We may safely say at the start that the public schools will not be hurt by such oa he and those he quotes. We wish to ask the correspondent If you were to go back to things as they were CO years ago would you con servatives be content? No, methlnks, If that were possible you would want to go back to feudalism, then to savagery, from that to be beasts, from bcasto back to tadpoles, from tad. poles to protoplasmic, one-celled life, and from that I suppose back to the time when "the earth was without form and void and darkness covered the face of the deep." Further back let us-hope he could not get, for we are told that only the "spirit moved upon the face of the waters," evldenUy contemplating a free society. But our correspondent la right when he says that the public schools aid socialism. In giv ing to the people a better knowledge of the world and sopicty they have prepared the minds of the people to understand socialism. The reot of his article, however. Is mostly mis representation and Ignorance. To cite one in stance, the assertion that socialism Is a llve- oft-the-other-fellow system. It Is Jttet this kind of system we arc -fighting to stop tho cap italists from living oft us worklngmen, women and children. But his quotation of such pacers as the Chicago Chronicle should deceive no body; It is a plutocratic sheet of the worst sort- what J am writing this letter for. how ever. Is not especially or primarily to propagate socialistic Ideas, but to warn such as our cor respondent, . the bishops, priests and officials of his church, in fact, anybody who would use religion as a cloak to fight socialism. What we are seeking Is the freedom and good of man, and that without regard to any exist ing society, creed or religion. Hold to your beliefs If you want to, Jt la a matter of pri vate conscience, which we ore zealous to main tain and defend. But do not be deceived Into thinking you can hide behind a church and hurl your lies with. Impunity. No, though you are ecclesiastical politicians, we will puncture your hides Just the eame. Understand once for all that we Socialists will not hold sacred or respect a church or priesthood or ministry that takes the name of Jesus under which to propagate lies In order to maintain capitalist class rule. We are fighting against every especial privilege, and as long as men classes remain with such special privileges to dominate, rob and oppress others, even though the poorest and most despised, we are there to fight his battle for him. And If in that fight you bishops, prelates, priests, preachers. churchmen, bookmen, schoolmen, and others. whoever they be, line up with the oppressors. we will shoot at you Just the same, only, if otnerwise, at your self-styled leaders, edu cators ana educated people we will shoot with more vim and earnestness. So look out! If you are hurt we will heed no cry, "You ore attacking the church and religion." Such a conception of & church and religion as you blind leaders of tho blind give us and the world, of oppression, poverty. Ignorance for the many, with hard and onerous labor to sup port the few la their special privileges, lux ury and vlclousneas, it were woll If we not only attacked it, but completely dlsoredltea it In the eyes of the workers and mode them all "Infidels" against such a church and religion. No, I believe In God, love, the Creator and Preserver, the principle of life from which all Sows, who has given and gives every good and perfect gift for all men, even "the least of these, my brethren," and that his gifts are free to be gotten by all on the same condition labor; so where Is your special privilege with God? No Roman Catholic God for me, that gives to a Pope ana a few benighted priests the vlcegerency of the earth, to bamboozle, plun der and rule over aa they wish; no church with its claim of special sanctity of the- priest hood or ministry, with its tomfoolery of laying on of hanns, ordinations, etc, mere masquerad ing and child's play calculated to deceive toe ignorant and mnlntsln their rule thereby, but to follow the principle of love with all men: yes, you, my dear opponents, speak the truth. seek it, and grant to friend and foe alike and on the same conditions Just what I desire. We Socialists, as you may perceive, are in earnest, and if our language Is etrong, yea. even coarse, and seemingly abusive, it Is De- cause we feel strongly the elemental fact tnat the basis of this world's wrongs and lies theft, and capitalism Is theft, organized and maintained by a class, the capitalist clacs. This theft we are determined to stop, and with it must go all special privileges, cr else over the ruins of modern nations will be written "They (the ruling class) got their bread by in justice, and they despised the souls of the laborers." So we have "no time to hunt out soft phrases, but say a lie Is & lie asd rob bery Is robbery. So we say to you priests. preachers and so-called educators, look out "you attack us you will find va Socialists fight ers that never give up, and of & confident asd Indomitable courage that is not afraid will spare your priest man, knowledgo man of government man. We would advise you. rath er. In the absence of doing something better. to take & pick or spade, or some instrument of production, and do some useful labor. attacking-Socialism you will not hurt it, but will be yourselves hurt, while if you devote such time bo employed you might dig a sewer. raise spuds or run a train, and that -would be useful work for society.

The public has been much Interested here in a rumor that tho .Booth-Kelly Lumber Company had sold "its holdings to Eastern capitalists. It may be said with authority, however, that there is absolutely no foundation for the report and that the company remains now practically the same as It has always been. Senator Booth, manager of the company, went to Portland today, but before going he made an emphatic de nial of any transaction consummated or contemplated that might give foun dation for such a report. Mr. Kelly was also seen this evening and made the same statements. There is some stock changing hands once In awhile," said he. "But nothing of the nature of a transfer of a con trolling Interest. The report of East em capitalists buying us out probably arises from the fact that some of our Eastern friends have been here visit ing, and while here we took them with us to see some of our Interests, when we had occasion to go from place to place, but this was only casual. No large block of stock has changed hands recently, and no stockholder has sold his entire holdings. Not for a long time has any stockholder gone out of the company or any new stockholder bought in. In fact, there is nothing in the story but hot air.' The business of the company is now going on the same as It lias for a year past Largo quantities of logs are being secured and the Coburg and Springfield mills are cutting steadily, the latter cutting 12 hours per day since August -1. There was a rumor that Eastern parties, who owned largo bodies of timber In the Fall Creek vicinity, near which the Booth-Kelly company had a considerable quantity, have been try ing to securo the latter company's lands In that locality In order to enable. them to put in logging railroads and bring the timber to market success fully, but this Is also denied by the company. BENEFITS OP EXPOSITIONS. How Thoy Advance tho Cause of Edu cation. PORTLAND. Oct. 10. (To the Editor.) On visiting- our beautiful Fair ground one Is Impressed with its beauty and magnitude. and in order to fully appreciate its many features we must remember that one of Its chief purposes Is to illustrate the progress mode in the Northwest during the last century. One not only finds a wealth and variety of natural scenery, which has never been equaled at any former exposition, but is also inspired by the genius of American architecture, which will furnish an erbaustleaa subject for future contemplation, aslt tells the story of Western civilization and progress. which will leave a lasting Impression on the mind of the beholder. It will Instruct the people by means of the best object lessons, showing the great possibilities of our state, and will stimulate tho pride of our people when they realize the fact that they ore par ticipating in the development of our great commonwealth in this "progressive and wonder ful age. Recognizing the importance -of this opportu nity, all should endeavor to place before the world a complete and perfect representation of all of our state's resources, for It is through these International expositions that nations have been brought Into more harmonious rela tion with each other by becoming better ac quainted, and -thus creating a feeling of con fidence and friendship among the various races of mankind. Considering the educational advantages offered at these expositions, we owe much of our modern progress, the wide dis semination of knowledge, and the quickening of thought among the great mas3 of people. They have left their resultant expressions In the countless useful Inventions of machinery and appliances with which we are blessed today. In the wonderful discoveries of science, and all of our citizens should feel on active concern In making It a greater success than anything that has ever been undertaken in the North west. The display made by the Government Is al ways an Important factor, illustrating- the functions and administrative faculty of the Government In time of peace, and its resources as a war power, and demonstrating the nature of our Institutions and their adaptation to the wants of the people, who thus become more familiar with government affairs and the power and magnitude of our Nation, as here the Nation's industries and products are shown In condensed form. All who have at tended any of the former great expositions will remember the Interesting exhibits in the Gov ernment building, for these exhibits accom plish salutary results otherwise unattainable, by bringing the people into closer touch with their Government In the Postofflce Depart ment will be shown all the workings of our postal system, from figures of mallcarriers In their unlforms.vas well aa the various modes of carrying moil, from the dog sled of Alaska to the modern postal car. In the Treasury De partment the workings of the mint will be shown by striking commemoratlvo medals, and usually & full series of all existing med als and coins will be on display. The De partment of the Interior shows models of many Important inventions, and the workings of the Patent Office. The Agricultural Department will show the visitor the products of the soil that are for the most part the result of cul tivation. The Army and Navy will be repre sented by all the latest Improved ordnance and was paraphernalia. Including the medical and hcsnltal service, as well as the light house and llfesavlng service. The Geological Survey displays geological specimens, and In natural order are shown the minerals of the country. From these exhibits one gets an Idea of the enormous wealth that Is contained in the earth, waiting only to be excavated and fashioned Into articles of beauty and utility. Though mineral collections ore fre quently seen in museums, still the average mind la more Impressed by the casual exam ination of these things at an exposition, and one's, pride of home is Increased by the rich stores of mineral wealth attractively In stalled. A similar arrangement Is followed In regard to forestry products; but as our Forestry building alone Is worth crossing the continent to see, I will not dwell ou the subject. Those visiting tho Exposition -will enjoy great object lesson In modem progress and development, yielding the most liberal and valuable returns to the exhibitor, whether state or Individual, and to the visitor it will mark an important epoch In his life, as the knowl edge acquired. In a few days spent here will be of practical value throughout the remainder of his career. Here at our Exposition the states and nations will exhibit for mutual pleasure and profit the things- they produce, which will typify and demonstrate -the result of their civilization. progress and natural development In every thing that can contribute, or is essestlal to the betterment of mankind. The artisan will find here a "trade university," the Inventor as. "Industrial college." the manufacturer and capitalist many new and varied' uses for cap ital and enterprise. But few people In the East have any conception of the wealth and progressive intelligence of the Northwest, and the advancement mode by our people, and we must show them by practical demonstra tion who we are and what we have, as the ultimate benefit of all lies in its educational effect. We must show everything at Its best, and this applies particularly to our min eral display. And the first essential Is to fa miliarize tho visitor with the appearance of valuable minerals and ores, as they are found In the ground. In order that he may recognize mineral substances in their crude state. The greatest space should therefoie be devoted to showing the crude minerals as they come from ths earth. Other space could be devoted to showing the useful products In mors re fined stages, from the raw material, ths meth ods by which they are taken from the earth. and the process by which they are made use ful. All. these features should be considered In arranging the mining exhibits.

As all Influences will be for pood, let It then be the effort of every one, whether official, exhibitor or visitor, to urn his Influence to make the Lewis and dark Exposition a grand success. in tracing the history of expositions, we have to go back to the Middle Ages; when the peo ple held religious gatherings and brought their best products to be sold, tho proceeds going to the church or priests. In our own country the first were the county or- town fairs, at which the products of the town and factory and ' local Industries were displayed In competition. Out of thete grew the district and state fairs, and In due course of time the International expositions, at which specimens of the arts, industries and products of the great nations of the world were contrasted came into exlst- anoe. The first held in the United States was in New Tork, In 1E53. The next one, cele brating the centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was held at Phil adelphia In 1876, and the Columbian Bxposl tlon was held at Chicago In 1693. Recognition of the great commercial and educational ad vantages accruing from such demonstrations led to the exposition for special purposes, re sulting In such as the Cotton Centennial, at New Orleans. In Audubon Park, December 16, 1883, to June SO, 18S4, celebrating the first cen tenary of the cotton Industry In the United States. The one held at Golden Gate Park In San Jranclsco, 1893, was for the purpose of obtaining many of the foreign displays from Chicago, and for building up foreign trade. The Atlanta KxposlUon, held In Piedmont Park, had tn view the advertising of the agri cultural, mineral and manufacturing Industries of the South. The one at Nashville celebrated the 100th anniversary of Tennessee's admission into- the union, and was held in the old "West Park. The Trans-MlsslsslppL held In the old Pair ground, at Omaha, In 1893, was to Illustrate fully the wealth-producing power and Industries west of the Mississippi River. The Pan-American, held In Delaware Park, Buffalo, from iiay l, iaoi. to November 30, 1801, as Its name indicates, was to unite mora firmly the nations of ths Western Hemisphere in all that goes to build up mors friendly relations and to advance commerce. Tne Charleston Exposition was held In Washington Baoa Course and Wagoner Farm from December 1. 1001 to June 1, 1002, and was to build up trade. The one sow being held at Forest Park.
