10 THE MOENING OBEGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1904. TO HOLD TEST Dairying Will Be Made Feature of Fair. LARGE PREMIUMS OFFERED Demonstrations Will Last Throughout September. ' COUNTRY TO;BE CHALLENGED Oregon, Washington and California Expect to Prove Their Overwhelm ing Superiority In Everything Pertaining to Dairying. One month will be devoted to the dairying tests at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. This important decision was reached yesterday at Lewis and Clark headquarters, and September 1 was set as the opening day of the tests und dairying demonstrations, which will be one of the most important and Valuable features of the big Fair. A full set of rules and regulations were also completed to govern these tests. This code was complied by Richard Scott and W. M. Ladd, both recognized authorities on questions of dairying and stockralsing. The regu lations are arranged in a manner in tended to extract the greatest possible "benefit from the dairy contests. The subject of dairying has aroused general attention of late months on the Pacific Coast. The prizes captured by Oregon and "Washington at the St. Louis Exposition, confirmed what has long been suspected that Oregon and the Pacific Coast is the greatest dairy ing country on earth. Oregon's Great Industry. Oregon, it will be remembered, took the grand prize at St. Louis for grains and grasses, as well as a number of medals for herds and single cows. Washington, on the other hand, took the grand prize for butter. This proved a surprise to the great Middle "West dairying centers, which had long con sidered -themselves invincible. It also got Pacific Coast farmers and stock men to thinking. The dairying Indus try had been sadly neglected, despite the favorable climatic conditions and never-failing crops, they concluded. The Exposition management rose to the occasion by offering unexpectedly large premiums for a stock exhibit. The idea is to clinch the argument that the Oregon country is the great dairy ing area, by means of the month's test next year. In this series of tests Oregon will strive to carry off the honors, and "Washington will be strongly represent ed in the contest, as will California. It really does not matter very much which of these states is successful so long as there Is a further substantiation of the argument that the distinction of being the natural center of the dairy ing industry belongs to the Pacific Coast country. Tests to Be Made. The tests of September 11 include a demonstration illustrating in a practi cal way the various breeds of pure bred cows (including the dual-purpose "breeds) for dairying and beef produc tion, and how economically their prod uct can be obtained under given condi tions. Butter tests will be supervised by a competent jury, and uniform pack ages will be provided by the Exposi tion for all butter produced by each breed and the score on the butter will be determined weekly. It has further been decided to judge the butter on'the following scale of points: Flavor, SO per cent. Aroma, 15 per cent. Grain, 25 per cent. Color, 15 per cent. Salt, 10 per cent. Package. 5 per cent. The milk from each cow will be weighed immediately after milking and correct samples taken by a supervisor who Is to be appointed later by the Ex position management. Such tests will then be made as are necesasry to de termine the total solias, rau and solids that are not fat. contained In the milk, and to determine the other qualities of the milk. List of Awards. Awards will be made on the follow ing points: Economic production of butter and butter fat; economic production of milk for all purposes of dairying; dual-purpose beef, milk, and beef merits of calf; production of market milk; all on herds of five, ten and 15 cows. Similar tests, "with awards, will be made on individual cows of the Ayr shire, Brown Swiss, Devon. Guernsey. Holstein-Friesian, Jersey. Red Polled and Short Horn breeds. There will also bo awards for the best cows of any breed. The amounts of the various awards aro now being figured out and will bo announced at an early date. DELINQUENT COUNTIES FALL IN All but Nine Have Made Preparations for Fair Exhibit. Citizens of two of the delinquent counties which have made no official preparations for an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, are begin nlng to take hold on their own ac count, realizing that the Interests of their communities demand a showing at the big Fair next year. Klamath Coun ty took the Initiative a day or two ago by sending to the State Commission headquarters for information as to bow to proceed in making an exhibit. ies terday Tillamook County residents sent in a similar request. At the same time a bljr cheese company offered to make the Tillamook exhibit unaided, unless something definite is done at once by the officials. The counties that are now on the exhibit schedule are 24 in num ber, with but nine delinquents, most of which will probably step into line when they realize the loss of prestige that failure to participate will "bring them. GOMPERS FAVORS THE FAIR. Recommends That Labor Federation Make Exhibit Next Year. In his annual address before the American Federation of Labor Conven tlon at San Francisco, on Monday, President Samuel Gompers recommend ed participation in the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Exposition headquarters were notified yesterday by State Com Twissinner G. Y. Harry, who received a private dispatch on tho subject, that President Gompers recommended the .transfer of tho Federation's St. Touis exhibit to Portland and indications are that he suggestion will be taken up in the form of a resolution and unani' mously passed. The exhibit makes a comprehensive showing of the progress of organized labor from its inception to the present day and will be an im portant addition to the thousands of special exhibits at the Exposition. WILL CONFER WITH OFFICIALS Rules In Regard to Goods in Bond Will Be Discussed. United States Collector of Customs Isaac X Patterson left last night for the St. Louis Exposition to confer with Treasury officials relative to the rules to be pur sued in handling goods In bond to be sent next year to the Lrewis and Clark Expo sition in this city. A special circular has been Issued "by the Treasury Department containing regulations for the sole of bonded goods from other countries at the Exposition, and one cf the Important provisions is that delivery of the goods so bought shall not take place until the close of the Exposition, and shall be sub ject to such regulations' for the security of the revenue and for the collection of Import duties as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. OLD CHASTER BOARD TO MEET Members of Legislative Delegation to Join in Preliminary Parley. Members of the old charter board and of the Multnomah Legislative delegation will meet tonight in the City Council chamber at 8 o'clock, preparatory to the consideration of charter amendments. It Is not likely that amendments will be presented tonight, for the session Is In tended only for a preliminary parley. Be sides, a considerable part of the Legis lative delegation is out of the city. The session is expected to last less than an hour. Mayor "Williams has been Invited to attend. The call for the meeting was issued by A. L. Mills as president of the charter board. This body is regarded as functus officio by some of the lawmakers, and as having gone out of existence since the work for which the Legislature created it was finished two and a half years ago. Such solons think it would have been more proper for the lawmakers to have met of their own accord and invited all per sons with amendments to propose to bring them before the delegation. By that method all persons who wish to offer changes would go to the delegation In stead of the delegation going to them, and members of the charter board would be on the same basis as members of the City Council or Executive Department. The personnel of the old charter board and of the Legislative delegation is as follows: Legislative delegation Senators Her bert Holman, Dan J. Malarkey, F. P. Mays. Sig Slchel. Henry W. Coe. C.

Chinese Say He Conducted Raid in a Boisterous Manner. As a result of his Chinese raids. oneriir aom word now faces a dam age suit brought in the United States Circuit Court. The suit was filed yes terday. Go Sam, Lum BIntr and Lud "Wing, partners doing business under the name of Kwong Funir Co.. ap pearinr as plaintiffs, and the amount sought for as recompense- for damages sustained Is 55018. together with costs The complaint as filed by Charles F. Lord, attorney for the" plaintiffs, alleges that the plaintiffs are subjects of the Emperor of China and residents of the State of Oregon, and that they are en gaged in a general Chinese merchan dise business at 93 Second street, Port land; "that on or about (blank) day of November, 1904, the defendant wan tonly, maliciously and wrongfully. without their consent, entered the premises occupied by the plaintiffs, and broke and destroyed the property be longing to said plaintiffs." It is further alleged that the defend ant upon entering the premises of tha plaintiffs, "conducted himself in a bois terous, insulting and unlawful manner and insulted and abused divers cus tomers and patrons of the pallntiffs." It Is estimated by the plaintiffs that the damage resulting from the loss and injury to their business and property caused by the acts of the defendant, Sheriff "Word, amounts to $501S, for which amount they ask judgment. Sheriff "Word was served with a copy of the complaint today, but while very much interested in its contents, he had absolutely no comment to make upon it. As the Chinamen are determined to push their claims, and as the cause of their suit was really but a part ot Sheriff "Word's reformatory movement, this latest phase in the situation will be followed with much interest. CHINESE HATE I'UJNEKAX. Remains of Wong Dock Jun Carried With Pomp to Lone Fir Cemetery. Accompanied by hired mourners, a Chinese band and over 30 closed carriages. the remains of "Wong Dock Jun, one ot the most celebrated inhabitants of Port land's Chinatown, were carried to the temporary resting place in Lone Fir Cemetery yesterday. Wong Dock Jun died at his residence, 12S"6 Second street. Tues day afternoon, from heart disease. The dead man was 47 years or age. At noon yesterday, after the services in the Joss House of the Jong Wah Com pany, the body of the dead Celestial was carried to the street below and placed in the hearse, to which were attached four gray horses. The ceremonies were at tended with considerable pomp. Boast pigs and other edibles were offered to Gum JI, the Chinese god of evil, in order that he may be appeased .and the spirit of Wong Dock Jun allowed to pass into the great beyond unmolested. xne cortege men iook up lis way, hired mourners In white tunics marching beside the hearse and walling to show their grief. The Chinese band occupied a carriage and played a dirge from the time the cortege left Second street until it arrived at Lone Fir Cemetery, where in terment occurred. HE KNEW THE LAW. Queerly-Actlng Gent Tries to Explain to Police Captain. D. S. Bunyan, an old man and a law yer, was picked lip on Fourth and "Wash lngton streets yesterday morning because he acted queerly. Officer Quinton made the arrest, and by the aid of six-feet-something of brawn and bone persuaded the little man to go to the station-house with him He went and there was more of a fuss around the station for a while than on a night when Sergeant Stover makes a raid In the North "End. The lit tle man knew law and was bound to talk it, and the more he talked the leas chance there was of his going free. Finally Cap tain Gritzmacher waved him away and he was held for examination. MELD RUM ON TRIAL Handwriting Experts on Hand to Testify in Case. DAMAGING EVIDENCE GIVEN Defense Refuses, 'to Crose-Examina Witnesses for State, One of Whom Gives Testimony In Favor, of the Alleged Forger. THE AIXEGED CRTXE. Henry Mel drum is charred with har loc forrod nasies of 18" persons to appli cations for stirrers of -land' in Harney County, Oregon, west and south ot Harney Lake. Tha postofflce addresses of the applicants -were stvt as Hlley, Burns and Karrovra. It la alleged that the. applications, which are in form of. affldarlta. vrere forged by Meldrum. The contract for the $3600 survey was let to Rufna S. Moore, a nephew of Mei drum's, April 10. 1D0C With a sprinkling of politicians In at tendance the trial of Henry Meldrum, formerly Oregon's United States Surveyor- EXPERTS WHO TESTIFIED IN THE TRIAL OF HENRY MELDRUM, HIS ATTORNEY AND THE EX-SURVEYOR GENERAL HIMSELF (Me? muJTK.fit, General, charged with forging signatures to applications for surveys of Government land in Southern Oregon, began yesterday morning before Judge Bellinger, in the United States Court. When the case was called, and in fact during the whole of the day's proceedings, there was a fine atmos phere of calm and genial amiability. Not a tlft marred the relationship between United States District Attorney Hall and Attorney, also State Senator, George C. Brownell. who appeared for Mr. Meldrum. If a trial could have the appearance of a love feast, the proceedings might Justly he termed as such. With but little difficulty, 12 men were secured to serve as Jurors. Once they were sworn In, the attorneys In the case made their statements. They were brlof and smooth, and done In an ordinary con versational tone of voice. Mr. Meldrum sat through the ordeal watching things closely, to be sure, but with a calm re pose. There was notmng in Mr. iiau s remarks that caused a ruffle of the tem pers of either Mr. Meldrum or his at torney. There was no fierce denuncia tion of the accused nor any verbal pyro technics, and unless the Government's last witness, who will go on the stand this morning, has a surprise, the trial bids fair to be the quietest on record. Mr. Hall told the Jury In easy terms that he would establish by the testimony of witnesses present, not only employes of the Surveyor-General's office, but the best hand-writing experts in the business, that the 18 applications asking for the surveys of certain lands in Southern Ore gon were forgeries by Henry Meldrum. He alBo promised to prove to them that the lands represented by the affidavits were uninhabited in short, little better than a desert. Mr. Brownell's statement to the Jurors was even more brief than that of Mr. Hall's. Ho dwelt on the seriousness' of the charges brought against his fellow townsman of Oregon City, and what it meant to his family and to his client's honored name, but he made no promises. When he finished the first witness was called. Experts Say Forgery. He was John C. Bowland, chief clerk in the Surveyor-General's office. Mr. Bowr land was handed the 18 alleged, forgeries and after looking at them carefully, he stated that he believed them to have been written by Henry Meldrum. Jack Mar shall was also called, and he having had a long experience as a bank cashier, also stated he believed that signatures on the applications were written by the same person. The real expert of the day, however. was J. F. Shearman, deputy clerk of the United States Court at Wichita, Kan. Mr. Hall had Mr. Shearman explain to the Jurors that he had been traveling around the country a great deal, giving expert testimony regarding disputed writings. Mr. Shearman testified that after a careful and painstaking examina tion of letters 4 and 5, selected out of the 18 offered as evidence, that be was con vlnced that they had been written by the same person. The others he was not so sure about, because he hasn't had suffl dent time for careful examination, but that he thought they were all written by the same person. Mr. Shearman explained, with the aid of a pencil and big sheets of paper, the strange similarity in the characters used by the person who wrote the letters and the signatures. The rest of the testimony was taken up by postmasters and stockmen living near where the surveys were made. To each of the witnesses, Mr. Hall read the names of tbe persons who had asked for the surveys, but they were unknown to thev witnesses, save the name of Stephen Young, and it was hrought out that Young did not, and never had lived within 60 radles of where the survey tu sfea.de. Among the wttaoaaes vu A. W. Baker, a clerk In the Geaeral L&aa otnee at "Washington. D. C Mr. Baker had made an attempt to penetrate the section of the country where the surveys were made, with a view of locating the alleged settle ment. He testified that be could find no settlement, hut he did find where the survey had been made. Ho explained that there were no roads and no water and that he had ventured as far as It was safe for him to go. One Witness Causes a Thrill. During all of this apparently damaging testimony. Mr. Meldrum sat at ease. Once or twice, before Attorney03rownell would dismiss a witness without cross-examination, he would hold a whispered consul tation with his client, but as before, each witness was dismissed without a word of cross-examination. Things were coming to a climax, however. The thrill was yet to come. It came with the testimony of J. W. Hamaker. a lawyer and notary public of Klamath Falls, before whom the affidavits were sworn. Mr. Hamaker was summoned by .the state, but be proved a splendid witness for the defense. It seems that when the case was before the Federal grand Jury, Mr. Hall met Mr. Hamaker In one of the drinking boxes at the Imperial Hotel bar. At that time, Mr. Hall showed Mr. Hamaker the 18 affi davits and Mr. Hamaker did not believe the signatures and the notary seal were his. Mr. Hall evidently thought that Mr. Hamaker would again deny the gen uineness of the seal and signatures. The surprise came when Mr. Hamaker testified that the seal was his seal and the signa tures were written by his own hand. It was then that Mr. Hall called Mr. Hamaker's attention to the little conver sation which they had in the box. The witness asked the court for permission to offer an explanation, which was granted. He stated that at the time he was shown the afnavlts he did not think them gen uine, but that after measuring tho seal on the affidavits and comparing it with the one in his office, he found them to cor respond. The difference In handwriting, he stated, was because of his old slgna- ture, one he used In signing papers in 1900, and he stated that a sample of them could be found on'v papers on file at Salem. Mr. Hamaker was not cross-examined. NOT REPEAL, BUT AMENDMENT No Effort- Will Be Mads In Legisla ture to Wipe Out Local Option Law. No effort will be made In the Legisla ture to repeal the local option law, but a vigorous endeavor will be put forth to amend It. As the law stands, an elector cannot vote his own precinct "dry" and the rest of the county "wet," when Pro hibitionists choose to bring up the lasua of county prohibition, as they did In last week's election in Multnomah and 22 other counties. The most important amendment offered will therefore be to convert the law Into a straight precinct option act, under which any precinct can vote itself "wet" or "dry," Independently of all other pre cincts and of the entire county. By such an amendment the issue of county prohi bition would not be brought up, nor could "dry" country votes force prohibition on a "wet" town. Another amendment may be one to in crease the number of signatures required on a petition to call an election. The number now required Is 10 per cent of the voters registered In a county, subdivision of a county, or precinct. This percentage Is regarded as too low, since it puts In the hands of a, small number of electors the power to call frequent elections. ABE AFTEB THE LEWISES. Loyal Lewis Legion Arranging for Day at Exposition. Is your .name Lewis? If so the Loyal Lewis Legion Is looking for you. The family organization wants the Lewises of Portland to arrange for Lewis day tit the Lewis and Clark Exposition. This day has been set for August 12; Septem ber 25 was Lewis day at the St. Louis Pair. A number of local members of the Lewis families met in the office of County Treasurer John M. Lewis, in the City Hall, last evening. Among those present was Professor H. H. Herdman, an instructor in the Portland Academy, who, it seems. Is a descendant of Meri wether Lewis, one of the famous ex plorers. The meeting was called fol lowing the receipt of a letter from Frank P. Lewis, of Seattle, the head of the Loyal Lewis Legion. He asks that the Portland Lewises make provision for the entertainment of the legion here next year. A permanent organlza- tlo will be formed within a short time.

NTH, VMM M M HHTMK, SAVAGE IS GUILTY Indian Chief Sentenced to Life Imprisonment, HE SMILES AT THE VERDICT Case Will Be Immediately Appealed to -United States Supreme Court on Ground of DemurrerOver ruled by Judge Bellinger. After deliberating IS hours and during that time returning to the courtroom for further Instructions, a jury yester day found Louis Savage, the Indian, guilty of murder as charged, but did not order capital punishment. Imme diately following the verdict, Judgo Bellinger, with the consent of the at torneys for the prosecution and the de fense, pronounced sentence, ordering Savage conned in the state penitentiary for life at hard labor. The crime for which Savage is to pay the penalty was the malicious killing of Foster Wacheno, a fellow Indian, on the Grand Bonde Reservation. The murder took place on April 24, and the trial was begun last Monday. Savage received his sentence with the same Indifference with which he viewed his trial, and aside from the questioning look given the court when asked to arise for sentence, exhibited absolutely no interest in the proceed ings. When leaving the courtroom, how ever, his feelings expressed themselves in a faint ghost of a smile. Savage had prepared himself for the death penalty. but with this modified Verdictand the chance of the sentence being set aside on appeal, he evidently feels that he has secured a new lease of life. The case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court on the grounds of the demurrer which was overruled by Judge Bellinger. The verdict gives much satisfaction to the Inhabitants of the Grand Bonde reservation, as they are said to have long looked upon Savage as a danger ous and turbulent neighbor. FIRE CHIEF BUYS AN AUTO. Pendleton Official Will Drive Ma chine Across Sage Plains. W. R. Wlthee. the Chief of the Pendle ton Fire Department, is in the city on a mission of importance to his town.

When the doctor takes his own medi cine and the grocer eats the food he recommends some confidence comes to the observer. A- grocer of Ossian, Ind., had a practi cal experience with food worth anytone's attention. He says: "Six 'years ago I became so weak from stomach and bowel trouble that I was finally compelled to give up all work In my store, and In fact all sorts of work, for about four years. The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food of any sort on my stomach. My bowels werebadly constipated con tinually and I lost in weight from 16S pounds down to SS pounds. "When at the bottom of the ladder I changed treatment entirely and' started In on Grape-Nuts and cream for nourish ment. I used absolutely nothing but this for about three months. I slowly Im proved until I got out of bed and began to move about. "I have been Improving regularly and now in the past two years have been working about 15 hours a day In the store and -never felt better in my .life. "During these two years I have nev.er missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream, and often have It two meals" a day. but the entire breakfast is always made of Grape-Nuts and cream alone. "Since commencing tbe use of Grape Nuts I have never used anything to stim ulate the action of the bowels, a thing I had to do for years, but this food keeps me regular and in fine shape, and I ara growing stronger and heavier every day. "My customers, naturally, have been Interested and I am compelled to answer a great many questions about Grape Nuts. "Some people would think that a simple dish of Grape-Nuts and cream would not carry one through to the noonday meal, but it will, and in the most vigorous fashion."

STUDY THE AP0CEYPHA. Dr. Stephen S. Wise Gives an Address on Books Not Included, in Bible. The Council of Jewish Women has or ganized a class for the study of the apocryha to be conducted under the di rection of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, and Its Initial meeting was held yesterday after noon In the Selling-Hlrsch Building. The class is open to anyone who Is Interested in this study and quite a number of vis itors took advantage of the invitation ex tended to Join. Dr. Wise gave an Intro ductory address on the Apocryphal liter ature and at future meetings of the class, which will be every two weeks, the vari ous books will be reviewed by different members of the organization. Dr. Wise said he did not accept the common belief which comes from the word apocryphal that these were forbid den books, but rather that they were books which were not accepted In the canon of the old testament. "The Bible was not made up by chance," he said, "a lot of wise men deliberated' long and seri ously upon what books should be Included In It and what should not. Some of the books of the Apochypha would fit Into the New Testament as well as into the Old, and It seems that as they throw so much light upon the Bible, and are so nearly contemporary with It, that the be lief Is well founded that they are books which were nearly Included in the Old Testament. He also said that these books show the development of Jewish literature In mat ter and form, and the tendency and na ture of the progress In Jewish theology and teaching. The theory that there Is a blank page between the two Testa ments of the Bible he put to rout, quot ing what some eminent writer has said about the Apocrypha being a golden ring which unites the two. At the next meeting, which will be held November 30, Mrs. L. Altaian will give a demonstration of Toblt, which Is antic ipated with much interest by students of this class of literature. SECRETARY IS HERE. Young Men's Christian Association Worker Is Guest in Portland. H. O.

He makes his headquarters while at work on the south half of his territory In San Fran cisco, and while working In the North west ho stops in Portland. The secretary is a young man of pleasing personality, with a serious Idea of the importance of his work.

Superintendent Standley Working to Get Buildings Ready by That Time. W. J. Standley, superintendent of the manual training department of the city schools, hopes to have all the branches In operation by next Monday. So far only some preliminary work has been done at the Stephens school in a room in the basement, and no Instructions have been given at any of the other buildings out side of this place, where pupils come in groups from the Clinton Kelly, Brook lyn and Central schools. Mr. Standley said yesterday that the buildings are now practically ready so that they can. be opened next Monday. On the East Side special buildings have been built on the grounds of the Stephens, Holladay and the Thompson schoolhouses, and there are two on the West Side. The build ings at the three East Side schools are the same In structure and size, and take up about the same space that two class rooms occupy. Bemoved from the school house, there will not be any annoyances from the noise of the hammer and saw. which will be used freely when the man ual schools are under full headway. The boys who have been attending manual training in the Stephens are quite enthu siastic over the work so far, which has only been along preliminary lines.
