WAIT FOR WAR'S END
Portland . Japanese Will Not
Celebrate Victory.
FUNDS TO AID THEIR COUNTRY
Cablegram Will Be Sent to the Mi
kado, and Balance of Several Hun
dred Dollars Used to Send
Japanese to the Front.
The fall of Port Arthur will not be pub
licly celebrated by the S00 or more Japan
ese of Portland. Celebrations cost money
and the patriotic sons of the Isle of
Cherry Sloss6ms and Chrysanthemums
have decided to donate all their spare
funds to the service of their country until
Japan shall have won the final victory
that shall end tho war. Then will the
Portland Japanese turn themselves loose
and make the "welkin ring" with fire
works and shouts of "Banzai!"
An extra edition of tho local Japanese
paper was out early yesterday afternoon.
It contained the recent press dispatched
from the Orient reporting the .capitula
tion 6f Port Arthur, etc. and a notice of
a meeting to be held at the Japanese
Club, corner Fourth and Davis streets.
The meeting last evening was crowded
with enthusiastic subjects of the Mikado.
Patriotic speeches were made and wildly
applauded. A fund of several hundred
dollars was quickly raised, after which
arose a discussion as to whether it should
be expended for a public celebration of
the victory or held for a moro practical
purpose.
It was Anally decided that a portion of
It should be used to pay for a cable dis
patch of congratuation to the Mikado, as
soon as the Japanese government shall
have officially advised the local Consulate
qf Port Arthur's fall. The rest of the
money will be held for expenditure In
helping Japanese of Oregon who desire
to return to Japan to volunteer in the
service of their country.
Notwithstanding .nat no public demon
stration will be made, there Is very great
and general rejoicing among tho Japanese
of the city. A reiwrter stumbltd upon a
typical little banquet In a Pine-street
Japanese boarding-house last evening.
The table was loaded with Oriental deli
cacies, and gay with color. On the wall
hung an engraving of the Mikado fes
tooned with evergreens, and evergreen
sprigs decorated every dish. Over the
entrance the Stars and Stripes and the
Rising Sun supported each other in fra
ternal familiarity.
The guests and hosts, men, women and
children, were making merry with sim
ple, nonbolsterous heartiness. Little cups
of rlco wine and the sweet liquors of Old
Japan, fruit, and other dainties wero
pressed upon the visitor, until he was
glad to beat a retreat to save his head
and digestion.

PICKPOCKETS AT GAME.
M. A. Schacht Is "Touched" for $27

Pickpockets were among the throngs at
Multnomah Field yesterday afternoon
when tho exciting game of football was
on. and as a result several "touches"
were made- M. A. Schacht. son of Emll
Schacht. an architect, was robbed of 5Z7.
Two men were sent to the Central Police
Station by Sergeant Slover and Patrol
man Burke, but were immediately released.
With a number of friends, young
Schacht was watching the game as It
progressed. Seattle enthusiasts, shouting
like mad. attracted his attention. He of
fered to wager that the Multnomahs
would win, and took from his coat
pocket two J10 gold pieces, which he
displayed.
"I wished to use the money a few

robbers, "but when I tried to get It, dis

Gratifying News' Received at Lewis
and Clark Headquarters Commis
sioner Marshall in California
Conferring With Governor.
It Is probable that Utah's appropria
tion for the Lewis and Clark Exposition
will be enlarged when the Legislature
meets this month, perhaps doubled, and
there is a strong possibility that plans
that have been arranged will be modified
and Utah will erect a state building In
stead of occupying exhibit space In one
of thfe Exposition strnctures.
This welcome news has come to Exdo-
sltlon headquarters in a letter from Soe-
clal Commissioner J. P. Marshall, who Is
making the rounds of tho Pacific Coast
states, prior to the convening of the sev
eral state Legislatures, and putting in
a last strong plea for tho Exposition.
Mr. Marshall reports that he visited
Idaho recently and In that state he found
everything satisfactory. The people and
the government of the State of Idaho
are taking great Interest In the Exposi
tion, are realizing that the Fair will
mean much to Idaho If a proper repre
sentation is made from that state, and
everything Is being planned to show
Idaho's resources hi an attractive man
ner.
To Increase Appropriation.
In Utah Commissioner Marshall called
upon Governor-elect Cutler, with whom
he talked at length concerning the Ex
position. He was assured that steps
have already been taken by tho fore
most legislators of the state to Increase
materially Utah's previous appropriation
for the Fair, and It was stated that It
was not Improbable that Utah would ar
range for the erection of a state pavilion
in which to house her exhibits. The
matter is to be brought to the attention
of the Legislature as soon as It convenes
and rushed through to completion as
readily as possible.
Governor-elect Cutler expressed him
self as aware of the fact that the Lewis
and Clark Exposition would mean much
to Utah, as to all Western states, and
he declared himself In favor of making
as great a. representation as the finances
of the state would permit.
Now In Sacramento.
Commissioner Marshall has journeyed
from Utah to California, and Is now in
Sacramento conferring with Governor
Pardee: It goes without saying that
California will do her best by the Expo
Eltion, as she has already declared her
self as favoring the enterprise ana dfe
slrous ot aiding it in any way in her
power. California's exhibit will be a
credit to that state and will be one of the
most Interesting displays on the Exposi
tion grounds.
From California Commissioner Mar
shall Is expected to return to Portland
and then Journey to "Washington to be
'present at the opening of the Lcglsla
turc. Through the work of Commis
sioner Marshall and his assistants and
colleagues, the Pacific Coast States will
be represented at the Exposition with
exhibits and displays which will dcrTnuch
to advertise the entire Western country.
Director Wakefield Coming.
Director of Concessions Wakefield has
written Exposition headquarters that he
will leave -St. Louis for Portland Tues
day evening and will arrive cither Sat
urday evening or Sunday morning to-
complete arrangements for concessions
and to decide questions that havo been
awaiting him for some time. As soon as
Director Wakefield arrives many conces
sions that have been held up will be
granted, and this important branch of
the Hartwig Kalley Home Missionary
Association, has written Exposition head
quarters that the association Is to make
an "around the world" tour this year
and would like to carry the banner of
the Exposition on that tour. They also
desire to distribute literature and sell
souvenir dollars. The communication
will be considered.
President Myers Returns.
Lincoln County Is to make a credltablo
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion. The news has been brought to Ear
position headquarters by President Jef
ferson Myers, of the State Lewis and
.Clark Exposition, who recently re
turned from a trip through that county.
He- found the people very enthusiastic
concerning the Exposition. President
Myers addressed a large audience of Lin
coln County citizens at Toledo, the coun
ty seat, on last Thursday, and found
that the county intends to make a repre
sentation at the Exposition that will
fully show the resources and advantages
for homeseekers and Investors.
HE DEFIES PHOHEBITION.
Exposition 'work will be completed as
soon as possible.
As many who are seeking concessions
will have to erect suitable buildings and
make other preparations it tho conces
sions are awarded them. It Is necessary
that decisions be rendered at the earliest
possible date. For some concessions
there have been numerous bids, while for
others the seekers are few. The work
of awarding the concessions that remain
to be awarded will be no easy task.
Military Companies Will Camp.
At Exposition - headquarters -m many
letters have -been received from com
manders of military organizations rela
tive to a trip to Portland and a camp
near the Exposition grounds that the
directors have taken the matter under
consideration and have decided to lend
a helping hand.
Tracts of ground will be secured in the
vicinity of the Exposition and water will
be furnished the troops free, of cost.
They will be given every facility for a
good camp and dates will be arranged
so that there shall bo no conflict.
The University of Idaho cadets arc the
last to write for information regarding
camping ground. A communication has
been received from the commandant.
Captain Chrisman, Sixteenth United
States Infantry. He states that the
cadet corps of the university Is a bat
talion of three companies, with men
and a band of 30 pieces. The corps de
sires to visit the Exposition In a body
and camp for two weeks.
Exposition Notes.
The Peninsula Lumber Company has
issued a bulletin calling the attention of
lumbermen to Oregon and the Lewis and
Clark Exposition and the bulletin has
been sent broadcast. It states that gen
eral facts concerning Oregon which have
been circulated are not colored as the
advertisements of .other parts of the
country, but may be relied upon.
Norman B. Taylor, secretary ot the
Business Men's League, of Mollne. 111.,
has written Exposition headquarters for
literature concerning Oregon. Mr. Tay
lor Is soon to address a meeting of a
manufacturers' asoclatlon on the advan
tages offered to capital In Oregon, and

pleted to such an extent that displays

sey Family Association, has written tho
Exposition officials regarding b. reunion
of the family at the Exposition on Au
gust 28. There are between 2000 and 3000

Montavilla Saloonkeeper Cdntinues to
Purvey Liquor.
William Grimes, owner of ono of the
saloons In Montavilla. ceased to sell
"hard" drinks at 12 o'clock New Tear's
night. In accordance with the verdict of
the vote In tha precinct, cast in favor
of prohibition November S. but Captain
Herman Schneider, who runs the other
saloon In that place, defies tha law and
continues to sell liquor under a license
he obtained from the county, which will
expire July 1, 190G.
"Yes," said Grimes, "I closed up the
saloon good and tight Xew Year's night,
and will strictly comply with the prohi
bition law. at least for the present. I
shall sell no more 'hard drinks in my
place. There Is no way to overcomethe
local-option law, and the people voted
that way In November. I shall have a
pool table, keep a hotel and sell only
'soft drinks- I have been preparing for
this change.
"How does It happen that Captain
Schneider keeps open while you close
up?" was asked Mr. Grimes.
"I have nothing to say about Captain
Schneider" was the reply.
Montavilla is not'yet a "dry" town. Over

Edgar Baume yesterday handed In his
resignation as leading man of the Co

In his letter Mr. Baume states that for
the past 17 weeks he has been laboring un
der a severe strain, and feels that he must
seek a prolonged rest to regain his physi

He stated last night that his only mo

ering his association with the manage
ment and company df the Columbia Theater.
It Is his intention to make an extended
tour of California. His last appearance

yet nothing definite is announced as to
his successor. Rumors to the effect that
James Neill and Edyth Chapman are to

without foundation.

In his arrest by Detectives Welner and

on suspicion.
Investigation proved McDonald's dec

up In a cell at the City Jail. He will be
charged with forgery today. The detec

checks to his credit. They believe he has

CITY ENGINEER TAKES OFFICE
Charles Wanzer Retires From Service
of O. R. 3L N. Cb.
Charles Wanzer yesterday severed his
connections with the Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company and assumed charge
of the City Engineer's Office. No cere
mony of any description accompanied the
change of officials. J. R. Hanson is hia
chief assistant.
As stated heretofore, Mr. Wanzer's first
task will be to familiarize himself with
tHe duties of his new office. At present,
exclusive of routine work, the most im
portant problems which require the City
Engineer's attention are the Tanner
Creek sewer Investigation and the propo
sals for the new Irvlngton and Brooklyn
sewers.
With reference to the Tanner-Creek
sewer repairs, Mr. Wanzer ostensibly
does not feel that the work wllL assume
such proportions as reports would Indi

lyn sewers have been completed and the
bids, it Is said will soon be advertised
for.
