Larger Buildings Need
ed for 1905 Fair.
NATIONS WANT MOREfi'OOM
Every Available Foot of Space
Is. Practically Covered,
MORE YET TO BE HEARD FROM
Director of Exhibits Dosch Reports on
Sudden Activity of the World's
Countries in Regard to
the Exposition.
The world has sprung a pleasant sur
prise on the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
The powerful and important nations
of every section of the globe have sent In
such an overwhelming array of applica
tions for exhibit space that- it will un
doubtedly be necessary to convert a larger
structure than the present Foreign Ex
hibits building, to their needs.
Seventy thousand square feet of space
have already been applied for and other
applications are reaching Director of Ex
hibits Dosch each day. as his reports
from St. Louis Indicate. His latest re
port showing the activity of the nations
caused something of a sensation at Lewis
and Clark headquarters yesterday, and
was the one topic of discussion. The ap
plications already on file claim Just
louble the space contained in the present
Foreign Exhibits structure.
Manufacturers have also been unusually
active, with the result that the space in
the Machinery, Transportation and Elec
tricity building Is practically covered, so
Colonel Dosch reports, while In the Mining
building the applications will easily cover
every inch of space and at least two big
mining companies have already announced
an intention .of building separate struc
tures In which to house their displays.
This somewhat unexpected but happy
condition will probably cause a readjust
ment of the exhibit buildings. Colonel
Dosch states as much In his report, and
It has been suspected for some time that
changes would have to be made. It is
jardly probable, however, that ttiv
changes will be made before the return
from St. -Louis of President Goode and
his staff. Such changes would entail
much readjustments of details and no
end of routine work, although It would
cause no serious inconvenience.
The changes which are now hinted at
affect the principal exhibit structures. For
foreign exhibits no suggestion is made
except that a larger building than the
present one is needed. The present For
eign Exhibits BuLumg will then be given
over to the use of liberal arts exhibitors
to supplement the present Liberal Arts
Building.
Colonel Dosch concluded his report as
follows:
"I can safely say that before December
every foot of floor space at my command
will be covered, with many people yet
to hear from. As. for instance, we are
now negotiating with forty-six manufac
turers who Intend te.make live exhibits
and 57 manufacturers who are consider
ing the question, and none of whom have
yet been assigned floor space.
"The people of Portland and Oregon,
and. in fact, the entire Pacific Northwest,
need not fear that our exposition will be
second to any ever held In the United
States."
The nations which have already filed
their requests for exhibit space are China,
Germany. Japan, France. Sweden, Nor
way, Holland, Austria. Hungary, Switz
erland, England. Prussia, Turkey. Egypt.
East India, Costa Rica and most of the
South American republics.
WESTERN MEN ACTIVE.
Representatives of All States Work
for Portland's Fair. ,
"Washington and California and, in fact,
all the states of the Northwest, are show
ing active friendship for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. President Jefferson My
ers, of the State Commission, states that
during his stay of four weeks in St. Louis
ho saw many evidences of the devotion
of representatives of all "Western States
to the coming Portland Fair.
"They regard It In the light of a "West
ern enterprise and, without any feeling
of municipal or state Jealousy," said Mr.
Myers.
"I have Eeen commissioners from "West
ern States corrallng visitors at St. Louis
andtfclllng of the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition and soliciting their attendance.
The commissions from California and
"Washington were particularly active in
this respect and offered' the Lewis and
Clark representatives at St- Louis much
valuable aid in the way of distributing
literature and entertaining Influential
vlsdtors."
PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT COMING.
President Goode Is Arranging De
tails in Washington.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 14. President H. "W.
Goode, of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, is in "Washington conferring with
members of Government Exposition
Board and "War Department officials
relative to the Philippine exhibit for
Portland. Nothing definite has yet
been agreod to, but there is no longer
any need for apprehension that Port
land will be without an adequate in
sular display. The differences that ex
isted between the Government Board
and "War Department are being har
monized, and there are prospects that
the Government exhibit at Portland
will include a comprehensive display of
resources of the Philippine archipelago,
DETECTIVE THEOWS TIP CASE
Officer Is of Opinion If hat- Saloon
Man Robbed Himself.
The .police have given up search for
the men who were supposed to have
held up the Seventh and Glisan Ex
change Sunday night, because Detec
live Weiner thinks he has found :
flaw in. the story told by Claude Dann,
the proprietor present at the time of
the alleged rpbbery. Weiner did not
discover the flaw until yesterday
morning.
The story told by Dann Sunday even
Ing, after, he had unbolted the door to
admit the detectives sent to the saloon,
was that two masked men had entered,
one from the front and one from the
side door, and compelled him to stand
back while they robbed the cash regis
ter. One of these men. he thought he
rccogrnlzed asa frequent customor In
the saloon. --
This frequent customer and an extra
J10 gold piece found missing have lead
Weiner to believe that Dann himself
robbed Jhe registert thereafter, .tele
phoning to the police and barricading:
himself.
The customer whom Dann says he
recognized on account of his clothes
was vouched for by Dann's partner as
an honest man anrf wnq not looked Ub
at all by the detective. The extra 510
and surrounding complications lead
Weiner to believe that Dann was his
own hold-up.
Sunday night Dann did not mention
any money but the 520 taken from the
casli register, but when Weiner visited
him in the morning he said that $10
which he had taken In change and had
placed in a hiding place under the bar
had also been stolen.
"How djd the hold-up know of this
money?" asked Weiner.
"The man whom I suspect as one of
the robbers was -In the place when I
made the change and placed the money
there," answered Dann.
Weiner then sought out the partner
and asked him about tho change made.
The partner said Dann had made the
change, but placed the 510 gold piece
In his pocket.
Dann retorted that he had taken it
out of his pocket later and placed It in
the secret receptacle.
"Who beside yourselves was in here
when the change was made?" asked
Weiner.
"No one." said the partner.
"Who Is this man whom he de
scribes as one of his assailants?" asked
the detective.
"An honest mari whom I know."
Then Weiner threw up the case.

ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Louis Savage, Indian Chief,
Faces Murder Charge.
FACES THE EVIDENCE COOLLY
Damaging Testimony Given Against
Him by Witnesses, but He Acts
Unconcerned and Does 'Not
Seem to Fear Verdict.
Accused of wantonly taking the life of a
fellow-Indian, Lorenz Savage, last living
chief of his tribe, is now on trial for his
life in the United States Court.
The murder for which the United States
officials expect to make Savage pay the
penalty, was commlttetk on the Grand
Ronde reservation, early In the morning
of April 24, and appears to have been the
termination of a night of drunken revelry
on the part of the Indians assembled.
The story as told before the trial shows
that a party of Indians had spent the
night In drinking and playing games.
Savage, It is claimed, drank to excess and
became ugly, quarreling with several
companions.
During an altercation. Wacheno sud
denly appeared, and It Is alleged Savage
fttornej-for Jatrergg.
turned upon him with a revolver and
fired two shots, mortally wounding him.
After an escape and remaining In hiding
for a few days Savage was captured and
brought to Portland whore he was in
dicted by the last Federal grand jury,
but pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murder.
Owing to the position occupied by Sav
age In his tribe a determined effort Is
being made to free him from the charge
under which he Is being tried, and his
friends on the reservation have engaged
B. F. Jones, of Toledo, for the defense.
The trial was begun at 2 o'clock yester
day and a jury secured with little trouble.
Peculiar Line. of Defense.
An indication of the line of defense de
veloped In the attempt to have the case
taken out of the hands of the Federal
authorities. Attorney Jones filed a dc
murrer to the indictment against Savage
on the grounds that members of the
Grand Ronde tribe are citizens of the
United States; that they are entitled to
vote and do exercise this right; that as a
member of such a body Savage cannot
be brought before the United States Court
on a charge of murder, but must be tried
In the courts of the county In which the
crime was committed.
The trial proceeded without final action
bolng taken on this demurrer, although It
is probable that it will not be sustained.
Damaging Evidence Given.
The first witness . examined was Dr.
Andrew Kershaw, superintendent of the
Grand Ronde reservation, who testified
that Wacheno had died as a result of two
bullet wounds.
Abraham Mitchell, better known on the
reservation as Joe Connor, and one of the
men with whom Savage had quarreled
on the night of the murder, proved a
strong witness for the prosecution. He
detailed the events leading up to and in
cluding the murder and substantiated the
story as told.
Many Indians Present.
William Simmons, another member of
the Grand Ronde tribe, corroborated the
evidence of Mitchell.
This case has brought many Indians to
the Federal Courtroom, and gfves It the
air of the reservation ltsolf. Savasre an
parently has many friends amongst those
present, and In the hall and Marshal's
office spent the time in chatting pleasant
ly with those who crowded about to wish
him well.
Savage Takes Matters Cool.
In spite of tho fact that the death ncn
alty hangs over him. Savage Is perhaps
the most cool and composed of any one
interested in the trial. With all the stolid
Ity and stoicism so characteristic of his
race, he sits in the courtoom watching
ine progress oi nis tnai with the anDear-
ance of nothing mor; than a fairly inter
ested spectator; the most damaging evi
dence as given by Mitchell and Simmons
did not so much as cause a tremor.
"Firewater" in Court.
That, In spite of rigid laws, an Indian
can still get "firewater, was clearjy dem
onstrated to the Federal officials yester
day. John Logsden, a witness for Sav
age, apparently grew tired of the dreary
wait and started out to find something
more to his liking. He found It In the
shape of a supply of whisky, and It was
but a short time until he felt that he had
sufficient strength and courage to clean
out the entire United States Marshal's Of
fice. It took but a short argument, how
ever, for Deputy Wilson to convince Logs
den that he was all 'wrong, and later
Judge Bellinger issued an order that
Logsden should be taken care ot In the
County Jail lor the night. The court took
occasion to remark upon the ease with
which Indians secured liquor while In
Portland, and directed that steps be taken
to learn who supplied' ibis particular In-
dlan with the half-filled bottle found on
his person.
The Case Of SVaz n ranllnnnl until

BIDS WILE BE OPENED.
Improvements in Car-Shops Will Be
Rushed to Completion.
At noon today the bids for the con
struction of the additions to be made to
tne car snops of the O. R. & N. Comnaav
at Alblna will be opened in the office
or uenenu Manager J5, E. Calvin, and
will then be taken under consideration
until such a time as it Is best In the
opinion of the general manager to award
tne contracts ror the work.
i?or several years the shons at Alblna
have been too small for the purposes of
the company, and now, since the South
ern Pacific Company has been consoli
dated in operation with the O. R. & R.,
ine iacK oixrepatr and construction facili
ties has become more noticeable than
ever.
To put an end to the inconvenience the
company has decided to make Improve
ments which will cost In the aggregate
half a million dollars, and when com
pleted will give Portland as good and
extensive shops as are on the coast.
Tfte bids will be jriven on the bulldinirs
separately and will include those for the
erection of a machine shop, 160 by 333
feet, costing In the neighborhood of 593.000;
a 22-stall addition to the,jound house, to
cost 556.000; paint shops. SO by 554 feet, to
cost 545,000: transfer tables, SO by 773 feet,
costing $25,000; coal chutes, 55000; store
house. SO by 200 feet, costing 55000. In
addition to this work f construction new
tracks will be laid to the new bulldlnes.
which will cost the company 515.Q0O.
According to the custom of the company,
the bids submitted may be considered and
discussed for some time before the con
tracts are let and the announcements
are made. As soon as the contracts are
decided the. work of construction will be
commenced and rushed through to com
pletion. SWEENEY HAS TO PAY.
Fined for Assault and Battery and
Assessed for Damages.
That to express one's emotions
through the medium of the clenched
fist Is worth not only a 55 fine but also
550 as a salve . to the injured one's
feelings, is what J. W. Swefeney
learned in Justice Reid's Court yes
terday. The principals In the lesson were
W. S. Louthers. J. W. Sweeney and a
jury of 12 good and true men.
A year or two' ago, while Improving
a street under contract, Sweeney was
alleged to have negligently left the
same in a. dangerous condition, and
Louthers became injured through driv
ing through the street. A Jury in Jus
tice Reid's Court fixed his damage at
$250, but this apparently was not to
the liking of Sweeney, for when he
met Louthers In the hallway of the
courtroom he promptly proceeded to
show his displeasure by landing on
Louthers" Jaw. Testimony showed
that Louthers retaliated mly by run
ning into the Justice Court and swear
ing to a warrant against Sweeney.
Upon the charge of assault Sweeney
pleaded guilty and was fined 55. This,
however, did not altogether soothe the
wounded feelings of Louthers and he
lately began a damage suit against
Sweeney 9 for another .5250. The Jury
rendered a verdict for 550 against
Sweeney.

FULTON STARTS NOVEMBER 22

Restored.
Senator Mitchell will start for Washing
ton tonight over the Northern Pacific He
will visit members of his family at Taco
ma, St. Paul and Canton, O., and will ar
rive at his destination about November
25. Senator Fulton will start for the Na
tional capital November 22.
Both Senators said yesterday that their
main endeavor at Washington this Win
ter will be to secure adequate river and
harbor appropriations for the Oregon
Coast and for the Columbia River. They
regretted that the Chief of Engineers has
pruned down the sums estimated by Ma
jor Langfitt as essential to improvements
required. The Chief of Engineers has
cut Major Langfltt's estimate for the
south jetty at the mouth of the Columbia
40 per cent; for Celilo canal. 33 per cent.
and for the Willamette River below Port
land, 27 per cent. Before the recommen
dations of the Chief of Engineers shall

will endeavor to have them raised.

Effort to Restore Langfitt's Estimates
Senator Mitchell said that the sums
for the Oregon coast and for the Co
lumbia River had been scaled down not
because there was any disposition to
discriminate against this part of the
country, but because the Chlfef of Engi
neers probably desired to prevent the
river and harbor bill from becoming too
large. If the appropriations for this
part of the country were to be raised
It would be necessary to do this hefor
the . river and harbor bill shall go to
Congress because after that time sue

Impossible. .Senator Mitchell remarked I
that there was danger of the appropri
ations being scaled down still more by
the Secretary of War.
"Many rivers and harbors in Oregon
need Improvement," said the Senator,
"and the total of their needs makes a
large sum of money. The most impor
tant of all. however. Is that of .the Co
lumbia bar."
Senator Fulton, ever since his elec
tion nearly two years ago, has main
tained that the Government should re
lieve the Port of Portland of the burden
of maintaining the river channel below
this city. He regrets that Major Lang
fitt's estimate for this work was cut
down by the Chief of Engineers, and
promises to do what he can to have
the sum increased. In order to begin
the permanent works contained in the
plans of the engineers. Major Langfitt
estimated the $625,000 would be re
quired for the next two years. The
last appropriation was only sufficient
for making temporary improvements.
New Directory In Use.
Postmaster Minto announces that the
1904 city directory Is now in use at the
Postofflce, and requests that all per
sons who receive mail should ascertain
if their correct address Is recorded in
same. .If not, such persons should no
tify the Postmaster at once, as the old
directory will be discarded after 30
days' use In conjunction with the new
one.
The directory and general delivery
department of an office the size of
Portland Is quite complicated, 'and pat
rons of the Postofflce should aid in
every possible way the correct de
livery of their mail.
