5 THE OKKG0.N1AN, WEDNESDAY, DEUEA1BEK 14, liJU. TO PASS MILLION Exposition Attendance to Be Great tSTIMATE OF HENRY E. REED Secretary Predicts 1,370.000 Paid Admissions, PUBLICITY WORK GOING ON Newspapers With Circulation of 25, 000,000 Are Receiving Press No tices, While Railroads ,Arev Also Extending Aid. What the probable attendance at the Lowis aiva Clark Exposition will bo Is a subject that has aroused no end of inter ci. for upon. the attendance depends the ircpss of the great enterprise. There is r ne. perhaps, better able to speak on i tr.i question than Secretary H. E. Reed, k V. with the co-operation of other Exno- Uoa officiate, has jpent much time in compiling statistics and investigating the I fa Morf that will contribute to the attend ant. Ia arriving at deiinite conclusions, comparisons have been made with such Kxpopltlons as thoee at Omaha, San Fran c,(o. Nas4tville and Atlanta, which were c' much the .me magnitude and scope as the L"wie and Clark Exposition. svruiry Reed has estimated that the ttal attendance during the entire Exposi 1. n period will be somewhere between : S (0 and 1.500.000. This estimate." said he, "compares fa v My with the attendance at Omaha, h.-v. Francisco, Nashville and Atlanta. At maha the paid admissions numbered - TTfi.WO; at San Francisco. 1.S15.G22; at Nashville. 1.MX.G0J, and at Atlanta, 779.5G0. In scope the Lewis and Clark Centen nial will be about the same as the Omaha FxpoMttoh" continued Secretary Reed. "It 1 'julte possible that it wil be even larger tian that at Omaha, although it would fffm that the attendance may not be so considerable, since Portland has not so populous a territory to draw from as Omaha had. Some estimates of Portland's jmbablc paid attendance run as high as 2W.000. but It does not appear that there :s anything to justify so great an esti mate. A year ago, it will be remembered, t'.e estimates ranged from 400.000 to S00.0D0 and that larger figure was then consid ered excessive. Attendance May Reach 1,370,000. "But to get down to the figures In the case," he added, "let us take into account ?vft the country tributary to Portland may be conservatively estimated as hav ing 4000 people within an area of 103 mile; within 200 miles are S00.O00; within :v miles. 1.800.000: within 500 miles, 1,809. K. within 1000 miles, 5.000.000. While these 'iguros look big to people living on the vast. when compared to the 30,000,000 in habitants living within 500 miles of St 1-ouis. they are smai). The 1000-mile -line en of Portland swings one-tjiird of the tistancc tj-New York on the east, .into Mexico on the south, woll into Alaska on the north, and On the west far out into th Pacific Ocean. 2fo other Exposition rver htld. with the exception of the San Francisco Mid-Winter Fair of ISM, has had so small a population to draw upon ir admteotons. The paid admissions at San Francteco. which wore 1.315.022, serve as a fair index of what Portland may ex rct next year. It is quite likely that I inland's attendance will be found to average About 10.000 per day. or a total of 3 TTrt.000 for the period of theExposIUon. The region within 500 miles of Port lar.1 " continued Secretary Reed, "com raises all of Oregon and Washington, the p-atT part of Britlph Columbia, that r rt of Western Montana which was In tM Oregon, all of Idaho except the south eastern ctlon. one-third of Nevada,, and -t oulte one-third of California's area acd about one-seventh of its population. Is quite closely related to Portland and rsilroad facilities in this direction are p -od. This territory, including Portland, is counted upon to furnish SW.00J paid ad HiSwonf!. Outside the 600-mile line are S.n Francteco, Los Angeles. Salt Lake, V- l"na. Yellowstone National Park, Den vt and other points at which In Summer ae1 converge and from which it di- i -grs Beyond it. also, are the entire Vi'sissippi and Missouri Valleys and the VUntio seaboard. At this time it looks as I the low rates offered by the railroads w-U ring 2SO.008 people to Portland next " n from beyond the 00-mlJe line. Those iSitrs are counted upon for an average cf .me and two-thirds to two and a half I id admissions each, or for a total of Wtwec.i 415.00 and C25.000 admissions. Low Rates Will Induce Travel. To the people west of the Rocky !oumaln the Exposition will be the I d-awing card of 1905. To the pooplc cast of the mountains Uie country will Ve the attraction, and the low rates of- ' frred by railroads the inducement to! fael. Throughout the East there is icry groat intercut in the Pacific Coast, ?rd the desire is general among tour- ! isis and prospective settlers to see the country. A moving fever has taken V1d of many of the Eastern Stales, ratably Iowa. Indiana. Illinois and m. where land is well taken up and ! igh in price. Farmers owning 200 and i C00 acres in these states are willing to j-clj out and buy again .in the West, nt because they arc not satisfied where tlioy now are. but because the rTd farm provider for only one the TTsent owner, while for the rest of te family there is no local opening ci the land whatever, except in the' I":r hase of near-by farms at the'limit cf value. The alternative left to n.iVIid dlc West farmer with a family of sons 1 to move where he can g-ctcheap land. lmproi-e it. stock it, and" sart in new in a new country. Tho .railroads will I 'ing thousands of those people to the Coast next year, and they will locate wl'crever they will find oonditions-most favorable." Scope of the Publicity Work. tn reference to the publicity work, Srr-retary Reed said: The publicity Tvprk of. the Exposi tion has aimod as nearly 5is possible o r-ay up the Pacific Coast country as a Ml olc. and exploit Its potentialities, ''"he idea which as been worked out and fotlewod up Js that the country itself is tho best possible exhibit for l'o: This plan has resulted vary sat isfactorily for a number of roasons. It has won the co-operation of every com munity west of the Rocky Mountains because it demonstrated that Portland Is doing things for the benefit of all and that it is not trying to use Che Ex position as a means of pushing its own Interests to the exclusion of other towns. As a result. San Francisco, Los Angelos. Soattle. Tacoma, Spokane, Salt Lake and other surrounding towns not only admired Portland for its enter prise and spirit creating the Exposi tion, but will do all they can to make Portland's effort a success. An expo sition city could not possibly make a greater mistake than to try to hog everything to Itself. Portland carefully avoided this mistake, -and is not gath ering a crop of ill will. . The Idea of playing up" the country appealed very strongly to the railroads because It gave them something tangible to work to. It is far easier to book Eastern people to visit a country 2000 to 3000 miles away, from'the Atlantic seaboard than it would be to send them across the continent simply to see an ex position. "In the campaign that has been car ried on In the past three years the newspapers and the railroads have proved the stanch friends of the Ex position. We have on our mailing list to receive our press service papers in all parts of the country having an ag .gregafe circulation of 25.000.000 copies. The railroads In all parts of the coun try are distributing our printed matter, and not only that, but many of the lines are publishing special folders and men tioning" the Exposition in their display advertising In the magazines. Our printed matter has been put out far and wide, not only in this country, but in Europe.' Over 2,500,000 pieces have been distributed, the daily shipments averaging from a few hundred to as high as 10,000 pieces. The Exposition Company and the Oregon State Com mission have not only printed and paid for all the matter pertaining to Ore gon and the Exposition used for their own purposes, but for all of such mat ter that has been circulated from Port land in the past year. The Portland Commercial Club, the Chamber of Com merce and the Board of Trade have co operated to circulate the printed mat ter Af the ExposIIton. and the various branches of the Oregon Development League throughout the state are gen erously assisting. This Winter folders and other publications pertaining to the Exposition may be found in every Winter resort on the Atlantic and Pa cific seaboards. In addition to this, tho Easterners who spend the Winter in Southern California will receive more direct attention as soon as they are comfortably settled. Expositions Are Not Detrimental. "The Exposition will thoroughly disap point one !lass of persons, and that is the class which Is looking for 'something to drop after the - gates close," added Mr. Reed. "The 'something' this class has In mind is Portland, and particularly Portland real estate. Contrary to what is generally supposed, expositions are not detrimental to a city. Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo, Omaha were all benefited. Chicago taught tho world that there is an American city of size and importance West of the Atlantic seaboard. The net result at St- Louis will be for the good. St. Louis has succeeded In getting back good and strong on the map for the first time since Chicago passed her in population nearly a generation ago. Portland will come out of this Exposi tion stronger and more energetic and en terprising than ever. The Exposition has now been before the people for over four years, and Portland has steadily pursued her policy of conservatism and has not been carried away with any sort of infla tion. In that time Portland has increased her population to 140,000, her jobbing trade to $188,000,000 a year, her manufactures to $58,000,000 a year, her bank deposits to $35, 000,000 and has expended about $15,000,000 for buildings and 'public improvements. "These Increases have come naturally and have not been caused by the Exposi tion, though the Exposition and the pub licity given it have been strong factors in calling attention to the city. As a matter of fact, the increasos noted above have come to Portland while the Exposi tion was in its preparatory stages, and at a time when a great many people were quite willing to predict it would never be held. The surprise therefore," bo conclud ed, "is not that Portland has grown so fast in. the past four years, but that it has not grown fastor, considering its advantages." CAMPING GROUND FOR TESTERS Exposition Management May Provide a Site. The feasabillty of establishing a large camping ground in the hills behind the Lewis and Clark Exposition is a question that will receive the consideration of the Exposition management in the near fu ture. Many communications .bearing on this s- 'iject have been reaching headquar ters from all over the Pacific Coast. There have been a total of several hundred In quiries, and many more suggestions about a camping place and it is regarded as highly probable that provision will be made for a two-acre park for the exclusive use of campers. That such a place would bring many thousands of desirable visitors to the Fair there can be no doubt. Farmers and ranchers who visit the various West ern state fairs have been in the habit of Journeying thus, and the same visitors would have been excluded from attendance had it been required of them" that they pay transportation and hotel bills. One of the most practical letters bear ing on the subject was received by Presi dent Myers, of the State Commission, yesterday, from County Judge C. H. Stew art, of Linn County. Judge Stewart says that he has received endless Inquiries from farmers and residents of the country who wish to come to the Fair, and prefer to drive to Portland with their tents and camping outfits. Ho suggests that two acres would accommodate several hundred people at a time, and that a moderate charge for camping privileges would more than pay the cost of establishing and maintaining the camping grounds. It is suggested that it would also receive con siderable patronage from Easterners who would take advantage of an opportunity to sleep in a tent over night for the nov elty of the experience. OFFERED "'05 FAIR POSITION. St. Louis Man Wanted for Chief of . Concessions. ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Dec. 13. (Special.) The position of chief of the department of concessions at the Portland Exposition has been tendered to Frank B. Davison, of this city, by John A. Wakefield, at present acting chief of concessions at the World's Fair, who Is to be director of the division of concessions and admissions at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Tne Po sition was tendered tentatively yesterday, and will be held open until Mr. Davison submits a definite reply. , "The proffer of the position at Portland hap -been confirmed by Director-General Goode, but I have net formally Indicated my acceptance," said Mr. Davison last night. "I have made no plans, for the immediate future and for the present will romain In S,- Louis. I do not know whether I will accept the position." Stuffed Wild Cat for Exhibit. ! The rapid advancement of the city dur ing the past 12 years was strikingly brought to mind yestorday when John Versteeg. -629 Pettygrove street, called at Exposition headquarters to offer a wildcat for exhibit purposes which he killed In a tree in the precise spot where the Agri cultural Palace of the Exposition now Rtanfis. Versteeg relates that he was hunt ing quail 12 years agp and after skirting Guild's Lake he penetrated Into the woods above. A movement In the brush attracted him and he discovered a large wildcat a few yards away. Two charges from his shotgun brought the animal down. He had the cat mounted and It will be among the decorations of the Agricultural Palace. Pomona Arrives at Albany. ALBANY. Or., Dec 13. (Spocial.)-To-day for tho first time since the low water commenced last Summer, a boat came up the river from Portland. The Pomona made the trip, and from now on until low water comes again there will be daily boats in each direction from Albaav, HOME FOR TRIAL (Continued from First Page.) ered by the investigating body today, nad been drafted. .The grand jury will meet against tomorrow and if no Indictment Is brought In the inquiry into the affair by the county may be considered as ended for the present. The prosecutor has sum moned no new witnesses and no addi tional evidence to prosecute the inquiry further has yet been presented. H. W. Bell, who was appointed receiver for Mrs. Chadwlck by the Common Pleas Court, besides Mr. Reynolds, was the only new witness who appeared before the jury today. He was in the jury room for half an hour. He showed the papers In his possession and explained them. Then Mr. Reynolds gave. testimony concerning them, the $5,000,000 note in particular. His evi dence, while It did not differ materially from that he had already given at pre vious times, was of much use, according to Prosecutor Keeler, In strengthening his cas?. Receiver Bell created excitement this morning when he announced that he had found the securities that have been deposited with the Wade Park Bank to aggregate $28,000,000, or near ly double the amount originally sup posed. Mr. Bell made this announce ment before entering the grand jury room to testify as to the najture of the papers in his possession. After going over the papers with County Prosecu tor Keeler and the members of the grand Jury, Mr. Bell altered his state ment, saying he had overestimated the amount by $10,246,000, the face of the trust agreement. There were two cop ies of this agreement among the pa pers, neither of them being marked as a duplicate, and he had charged them as separate documents. It was tho opinion of both tne receiver and Pros ecuting Attorney that the trust agree ment was Intended to be a copy, and not a distinct asset in Itself. Left $30,000 Debts in Brussels. BRUSSELS, Belgium. Dec. 13. In a futile search In this city for Dr. Leroy S.. Chadwlck. the Etolle Beige asserts that it has discovered that his wife left debts in Brussels, notably $18,000 due to a Jew eler and $12,000 owing to a lace merchant. Mrs. Chadwlck while in Brussels lived ex pensively, her hotel bill alone amounting to $30 a day. NOT LEGALLY MRS. HOOVER. Woman, It Appears, Took Name of Boarding-House Man. Mrs. Chadwlck has been known at dif ferent times as Elizabeth BIgley, Alice Bestcda. Madam La Rose. Mrs. York, Mrs. Hoover, Madame de Vere and Mrs. Springsteen. Her son goes by the name of Emll Hoover, but It appears that the name Hoover was that of a boarding house keeper with whom she formerly lived, and was never legally hers. There are records of only two marriages to which she was a party. It is noteworthy that both her husbands are physicians. The first one divorced her. after living with her for less than a month. Her present husband is believed to have gone to Europe to escape being involved in her legal troubles. Mrs. Chadwlck was born In Ontario In ISoi, and her father's name was Daniel Bigley. At the age of 22, It Is alleged by those familiar with her record, she was acquitted in a trial for forgery on the ground that she was not mentally sound. This was In 1S79 at Woodstock. Ont. Eleven years later, in 1890. she, with an express agent, Joseph Lamb, was arrested In Toledo on the charge of obtaining ?1S, 000 by forgery. On-, the plea that Lamb was simply her dupe he was acquitted, but she was convicted and sentenced to the Columbus penitentiary for nine years and six months. Goernor McXIhley re leased her on parole in 1S33. ' It does not appear that she has ever at tempted to negotiate any of the notes upon which the name AndrCw Carnegie appears. She has merely offered them as collateral. It is also worthy of note that there are several persons named Andrew Carnegie -in Pennsylvania, and that most of them arc not millionaires. It may pos sibly turn out that some one of these Andrew Carnegles may have been known to Mrs. Chadwlck and may have been so obliging as to sign .for her the notes for $1,250,000 which she or her agents have been offering to the bankers ot various cities. This also makes it possible to under stand whj the Andrew Carnegie who lives on upper Fifth avenue In New York, and who gives away millions, but docs not sign promissory notes, has not manifested a furious desire to take the business of thQ public prosecutors out of their hands and to pursue the possessors of the mys terious notes alleged to bear his name with a legal process. It is entirely pos sible that in spite of the accusations which are made concerning the past con duct of this woman, no criminal charge can be proved In reference to her recent borrowings. JUDGE OLCOTT AMONG ( LAMBS Law Partner of ExGoyernor Black Tells How They Were Both Fooled. NEW YORK, Dec. 13. "I was a lamb and I regret to say that. for 15 days I believed in Mrs. Chadwlck and was one of her many victims," said Ex-Judge William H. K. Olcott, of a law firm of which ex-Governor Frank Black Is a mem ber, today. "My connection and the firm's connec tion with Mrs. Chadwlck," he continued, "was brought about in this way: Mrs. Chadwlck came to our office on March 2, 1901, and saw ex-Governor Black and my self. She told the Governor that she wanted him to go to Cleveland; that his position as ex-Governor of the State of New York would help her to settle her affairs, and she drew from her reticule $1000 and laid It in front of Mr. Black for his expenses to Cleveland. He . concluded not to go. and It was finally decided that I should go, and for my fee for one day In Cleveland she paid $500. "The object of her visit to us was to have us relieve her from threatened at tachment against her home in Euclid avenue, Cleveland, which was to be lev led upon by Oberlln College for a claim of $75,000. This claim, I understand, was later paid, but not through this firm's auspices. "Mrs. Chadwlck, In that slow, impres sive manner of hers, said to ex-Governor Black and me: "I am a very rich woman. I have $3,000,000 in a trust fund.' We were naturally impressed. In order to make good her statement sho produced Ira Reynolds' certificate for the $5,000,000 of securities held by him. This naturally led us to believe that the woman spoke the truth. "I wont to Cleveland that night, on the night of March 3, and remained there all day March 4, returning on March 5. On my arrival m Cleveland, I asked Mrs. Chadwlck to show me her securities, but under one pretext of another she evaded the proposition and did not show them to me. Her excuse all the time was that Ira Reynolds was out of town, and finally after banking hours, when I insisted upon seeing either the securities or Ira Rey nolds, she got .Reynolds on the telephone. I talked with him, and he acknowledged to me having the. securities in his pos session. At that time I believed that they were all right. "Armed with this Information. I saw the lawyers of Oberlln College and Treas urer Severance, and inquired about a settlement. They wanted to know from me if I had any assurances of settlement other than what Mrs. Chadwlck had given me. I told them that I had not. They replied to me: 'Why, ycu don't know any more about this case than we do.' "X bad to admit the soft impeachment As far as my accomplishing anything with Mrs. Chadwiek and the Oberlln peo ple was concerned, my visit was futile, and my trip to Cleveland ended right there." Mr. Olcott then said that before he left Cleveland Mrs. Chadwlck borrowed $1500 of him. making out a note for that amount. She asserted, he said, that the check would be sent or the money paid not later than March 6. but she did not do so. "I then became somewhat suspicious, but not entirely so," continued Mr. Ol cott. "I had still confidence In her and would probably have believed her to this day were It not for the fact that I bad heard from Cleveland that she had been representing It about town that I was Mr. Carnegie's representative. "On March 15 I went to Cleveland and demanded from Mrs. Chadwlck Immedi ate' payment of the $1500 I had loaned her. She replied: 'Why, I am a eick woman and I cannot pay you today.' I told her in reply that I came to Cleveland to get that money; to get It that day, and that I should not leave without it; that if I did not get the money I would take legal steps . against her. She said that it I insisted she would have the money Inside of two hours. "At the expiration of two hours I re turned, and she paid me $1500. That ter minated this firm's connection with Mrs. Chadwlck. "I cannot reveal the secrets of my client, but I want to sac that she gave me reasons for the Inception of the trust fund which have not yet been told, which impressed both Governor Black and my self, and. which I am not at liberty to disclose." SAYS CHADWICK KNEW MUCH Bank President Shows Husband of Woman Helped Her Take Up Notes. OBERLIN, O.. Dec. 13. President Beck wlth, when shown the Paris interview with Dr. Chadwlck, who seemed sur prised that his wife was so heavily In volved In America, said: "Why, he knew all about this matter upon his return from Europe, last Au gust. On August 25 I got a telegram from Mrs. Chadwlck, saying that the mat ter of the Carnegie note would-be taken up In a few days and that I would get j my money. On August 27 I got another telegram from her, saying that the mat ter had all been arranged, and that I could look for a settlement at any time. On August 2S I got a letter from her, saying that Dr. Chadwlck was to take up the matter of the Carnegie notes and that they would all be paid at once, and that if I would come to Cleveland on' September 3 I could get a settlement. "Accordingly I went to Cleveland and met them at the Chadwlck home, on Euclid avenue. I arrived about 4 o'clock in the afternoon at their beautiful home, and Dr. Chadwlck had arrived from New York on the 2 o'clock train, having Just returned from Europe. The matter was brought up of the Chadwiek loans, and ho said that while he had just returned from Europe, It would be impossible for him to raise any money until the end of that week or by Monday morning of tho next week. I told him that I must have some money at once, and that I wanted some at that time. 'Well, said Dr. Chad wlck, 'I can give you $20,000 now, and next week I will send you down more, which will help you out.' He then asked his wife to get his check book and she told him that it was out in the other room, and he left the room where Mrs. Chadwiek and myself were sitting, and In a few minutes returned with two checks, which read as follows: " 'Cleveland, Ohio, September 3, 1904. Pay to the order of C. L. Beckwlth or order, $10,000 (ten thousand dollars). (Signed) LEROY S. CHADWICK.' "These two checks he brought out to me and handed them over with his own hand. These were In payment for two notes- which had been given to us by Mrs. Chadwlck and were Carnegie notes. Don't it look to you as if he knew something about his wife's doings? There are other things about this matter, and I will also at some future time, when the thing is ripe, tell all I know about him, as welt as the joint deals we had together. Ho knew of the Carnegie notes as well as she did." NORTHWEST DEAD. Mrs. Ellen Bagley. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 13. (Special.) Mrs. Ellen Bagley died at the home of her sis ter, Mrs. J. P.

SOLONS START RIOT Hungarian Deputies Wreck In terior of Building, THE GUARDS INCENSE THEM Opposition Members Spat in Their Faces, Box Their Ears, and Greet Liberal Leaders . With Deaf ening Shouts of Abuse. BUDAPEST. Dec. 13. Hoping to attract the sympathy of the populaco. the mem bers of the opposition In the House of Deputies met at their club early this morning and at 9 o'clock, headed by Count Apponyl, ex-Premier Banffy, Franci3 Kos suth, Count Zichy and other leaders, marched in procession in a drizzling rain to the Parliament building. The public, however, displayed scant interest, and only a few idlers cheered the members. At the entrance they found the Police Commissioner, who requested them to en ter singly. He was roughly thrown aside and maltreated, while the procession, dripping and with muddy boots, swarmed into the chamber over the gorgeous carpet and advanced to the guards of the presi dent's tribune, consisting of 40 men, with a roar of execration, and ordered them to quit the chamber. Acting on instruc tions, the guards remained mute but im movable, which so Incensed the opposition -Deputies that they boxed the- ears and spat In the faces of the guards, who con ducted themselves with the greatest pas sivity and forbearance until compelled to act In self-defense. The Deputies then approached the plat form and a scuffle with the guards en sued. The Deputies fought their way to the platform, tore It to pieces, scattered the debris over the house, tore to atoms the codes of law on the president's desk, smashed the tables and chairs and de stroyed the platform and distributed the broken pieces among the Deputies, who thus armed, attacked the guards, and af ter a brief light, drove them from the house. The desks were then torn and the Interior of tho house was almost com pletely wrecked. Having plied the debris In the middle of the chamber, the rioters crowned their work or destruction by erecting a model of a gallows from broken benches, from which an effigy of Premier TIsza was hanged. Soon afterward Premier TIsza, with other members of the Hungarian Minis try, appeared In the chamber and were greeted with deafening shouts of abuse. A whistling and howling concert followed, making It Impossible to proceed with any business. Premier TIsza, who is a man of fine physique and nervous, surveyed the scene with the greatest composure, and soon left tho chamber to hold a Minis terial council. In the meantime the opposition Deputies remained In the chamber, and also some 1500 people, including fashionable women In the galleries, not moving until an offi cial announced the Ministerial decision to hold no sitting. Count Apponyl. in the course of an in terview after the disturbance, denied that the affair was premeditated. He said the Deputies were incensed beyond endurance by the sight of the guards, who had no legal right to be there. Their presence, he asserted, was a breach of privilege, and the Deputies were perfectly within their rights in expelling them. If not quite defensible, 'their action was excusa ble. Count Apponyl maintains that there can be no peace until legislative legality is fully restored, and he predicted that what has happened will be repeated fn some other form unless the rules are re scinded. He added that the coalition of opposition parties led by Kossuth will be maintained so long as a common danger exists. The town remained quiet except for small disturbances following a meeting of obstructionists in the evening, which the police easily dispersed.
