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.

modern stage literature and Is expected

"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."
The famous Stanford students' trio with
its beautiful act, "The College Boys In

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.

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

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

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.

PREACHERS, BEWABE!
Socialistic Cohorts Are Sworn
to
Deadly Strife.
X.TL.E, -Wash- Oct. 8. (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

whoever they be, line up with the oppressors.
we will shoot at you Just the same, only, if

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.

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. Gold sug-

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.
