Lynds for the construction of vrlngs to tho Machinery, Electricity and Transportation "buildings, make the final provision for the extra space, furnishing twice as much room, in which to install exhibits. The east end of the Fair grounds was originally built open, but so much press ure has been brought to bear to provide more room for manufacturers clamoring lor space that tho Exposition directors have been forced to yield and expend moro money In erecting buildings for exhibition purposes. A building equally as large as tho Agricultural Palace Is now being erected directly east of It, the Mining building having been moved 150 feet in order to provide tho extra building space. Directly east of that the long hall which will be filled with three classes of exhibits, machinery at one end. trans portation facilities at the other and elec trical appliances in tho center, Is to have two wings built. These will each double the floor space at the ends of the building to which they are built. The contract for the construction of theso wings was awarded yesterday, the bid of E. A. Lynds of $9942 being accept ed. Stewart and Winslow made a bid of only ?2 more. $9344. The wings are each to be 100 by 100 feet. AH the extra floor space has been pro vided for under great pressure. Applica tions from prominent manufacturers all over the country kept pouring in, till all were given far loss space than they de sired, and many cou'd not be taken care of. Extra space was added several times, until there was no onore room left on which to built. All the space Is now contracted for. and the buildings will be filled with high-class and Instructive ex hibits. But still the applications pour in. Di rector of Exhibits Dosch said yesterday that he turned down over 20 good appli cations yesterday, and that he will be compolled to keep on turning down large numbers every day.

Antone Frank, a saloonkeeper, testified before Judge Cleland yesterday that he went to the lodging-house of Minnie An derson, at Fifteenth and Savler streets, and rented a room to help things along at a time "when Mrs. Anderson was ne gotiating a sale of the place to A. T. Thompson and wife" for $1800. Frank ad mitted on the witness stand that Mrs. Anderson came to his saloon and asked him to come to her house and engage a room, and he acceded to her request. Thompson purchased the furniture contained in 22 rooms and also the lease, together with the furniture of a restau rant. He says he paid $000 cash, execut ing a chattel mortgage for the balance of $1200. He testified that Mrs. Ander son told him the house was filled, ana in passing through the rooms he noticed neckties and various articles of clothing lying about, which led him to believe the rooms were occupied. After he had taken possession he found that there were only two permanent lodgers In the house, and also ascertained that Mrs. Anderson did not havfei. a lease of the restaurant prem ises. Anverson also complained that the building wits out of repair and the plumb ing in bad order. He sued to recover nis $600 and to have the chattel mortgage can celled. Mrs. Anderson, in her defense of the suit, testified that sho did not misrepre sent matters to Thompson, did not strew the articles of clothing about the rooms he had spoken of, and did not tell him she had a lease of the restaurant prem ises. She said an inventory of the fur niture was taken and that Thompson was satisfied to buy. She said she had con siderable transient custom which, some how or other, did not come to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson after they took the house. Thompson looked, the houso over thor oughly more than once and found no fault with it. Mrs. Anderson said she was responsible under the lease for the rent, and sued Thompson in the Justice Court and obtained a judgment against him for one month's rent because he re fused to pay It. Many witnesses wero called on both sides. A. H. Tanner ap peared as attorney for Thompson, and C. M Idleman for tho defendant. Judge Cleland took the case under advisement. Last of Special ' ervices. Tonight will be tho last of the week night services which have been held at tho White Temple. The meetings have been increasing un interest and earnest ness, and a largo attendance is expected this evening to hear Dr. Brougher on tho topic. "Playing tho Fool." The Oll phant Sisters will sing. Last evening Dr. Brougher spoke on "The Confessions of a Tempted Preacher," taking the history of John the Baptist, and saying In part: "John was a sensational preacher. Crowds flocked to see and hear him. His dress and manner of living were- sensa tional, and he preached a sensational gospel. The great temptation camo in the form of Jealousy, when the crowds were leaving him and following Christ. They tried to make John jealous of Christ, and then to make him conceited. But his character was shown in four great con fessions: First, he was not the Christ, but Jesus was; second, that Jesus was holy and he himself not worthy to looso the shoes of the Master: third, that Jesus was divine, 'The Son of God'; fourth, tho Saviour 'that taketh away the sin of tho world.' " DIVE 18 WIPED OUT ; Paris House Will Be Reputable Place. Made MANAGER SIGNS AGREEMENT Pays Fine and Agrees to Conduct Notorious Resort as Respectable Lodging-House ;Grand Juror Explains Breyman Case. The notorious" Paris House as a resort for fallen women Is no more. In the fu ture it will be conducted as a reputable lodging-house; The recent raid made by Sheriff Word has proven a complete suc cess. James Phillips, tho manager of the house, yesterday capitulated. He signed a written agreement, which he. delivered to the Sheriff, which states that during the remainder of the term of T. A. Word, as Sheriff, tho Paris House will bo run as a rcspcctablo lodging-house, and no disreputable persons allowed In the placo. After thla had been done, Phillips appeared before Judge George "and pleaded guilty to two charges of con ducting a bawdy house, and was fined $200 in each case, which he paid. On Wednesday, District Attorney Man ning, on evidence furnished by Sheriff Word and Deputy Sheriff Holllngsworth, filed an Information against Phillips. The other charge was framed in. an Indict ment returned by the recent grand Jury. The indictment set forth that Phillips, on October 30. 10OJ, conducted the Paris House as a disorderly place. The wit nesses, who so testified, were Miller Mur doch. W. L. Johnson, D. A. Patullo. W. W. Payne, John Bain and W. II. Markoll. Other witnesses examined were A. H. Breyman. the owner of the property, and .ugeno Blazler, the lessee. Deputy District Attorney Moser stated to a reporter that nothing will be done with, the 33 -women arrested by the Sheriff ana his deputies at the time of the raid There Is no stato law covering such cases," said Mr. Moser, "but they can be prosecuted under the city ordinance for vagrancy." Explains Breyman Indictment. George H. Thomas, who was tho secre tary of the late county grand Jury, called upon Judge George yesterday and took exceptions to the action of Judge George quashing the Indictment against A. H. Breyman on the ground that Breyman was compelled to testify against himself before the grand Jury, and his constitu tional right thereby violated. Mr. Brey man was -indicted for leasing the Paris Houec property for Immoral purposes. Mr. Thomas stated to Judge George that Breyman's Indictment was voted upon and decided by the grand jury on Novem ber 16 last, and Breyman was not called as a witness before the grand jury until November 23. Then he was asked who rented the rooms in the Paris House di rectly to the women, and Breyman an swered that It was James Phillips, and on this and other evidence Phillips was indicted. Mr. Thomas further said that tho indictment against Breyman was not prepared by the grand jury until nine or ten days after It had been agreed upon, but that was not tho fault of the grand jury. Mr. Thomas also informed Judge Georgo ho had not been properly In -Published by permission of ' " w iiiii W&sSWmX , H ., - -....... formed concerning- the iacts. The Brey man case Is now In the hands of District Attorney Manning for future action. PROPERTY - 0WERS PROTEST Improvement of Russell Street Causing Dissatisfaction. Still The acceptance of the improvement of Russell street before a special meeting of the street .committee of the Executive Board, yesterday, was the occasion for a lengthy and monotonous discussion in which a new discrepancy of the work de veloped. J. M. Long and others were present to protest in behalf of the property-owners against the acceptance of the improve ment. They were supplemented by the presence' of George Rae, a civil engineer, who had been employed to make a test of the work of Elwood Wiles, contractor. Contrary to tho report of City Engineer Wanzer on the test of the brick used in the street, Mr. Rae stated that in the rattle test the bricks lo3t 15 per cent and 16 per cent, which was more than the specifications allowed. Further, In the crusher test, he found the bricks varied considerably, standing pressure from 7500 pounds to larger figures, per square inch. As the specifications -required that the brick should only stand a pressure of 500C pounds to the square inch, this last is not considered a discrepancy. From all appearances the main conten tion was over the concrete, which Mr. Rae claimed was Inferior In every respect. He exhibited specimens which he averred ho had taken from the Russell-street im provement. It was not set and could bo crushed In his fingers. He argued that he found but a 5-inch thickness of the concrete foundation, when the specifica tions called for six Inches. There were several differences of opin ion as to the quality of the concrete, and it was ordered that the City Engineer make an Investigation. East Stark-street property-owners were present and requested that the committee stand half the expense of a filling which might, they thought, cost $10,000. The commlttco felt that as they had already agreed to grant $1500 toward the improve ment, they had done all within their power. The matter will be looked Into further, provided the property-owners will offer some definite amount as to the cost of the fill. SUGGESTS REMEDY FOR DRAWS Mayor Believes Bridges Should Close After Passage of Boat. A suggestion for the regulation of the closing of bridge draws was made yester day to Mayor Williams, which he thinks may serve to do away with the numerous dissensions which are at present arising between the public and tho steamboat people. t "This suggestion was made to me by Rodney L. Gllsan." said Mayor Williams, "and I think it Is entitled to some con sideration. As I understand it. the plan at present Is to close the bridges be tween the hours of 6:30 and 7:30 A. M., and 6:30 and 7:30 P. M., so as to permit the great throng of tollers from the East Side to travel back and forth without In terruption. They tell me that In the morning four or five stesunors whistle for the bridge and go through before tho draw closes. This would bo all right if It did not delay the great crowds that travel across the bridge in other than those hours. Mr. Gllsan suggests that the bridge be closed after each steamer goes through. If this Is done I feel that, all persons will be equally benefited. It will only permit a few minutes Interrup tion." ' A.

Piano House Sixth the "Williamson connection will bo fin ished today, when indictments may be returned. That there are other things on the mind of the Jury than the Investiga tion into the conduct of Mr. "William son Is shown by the fact that witnesses are still being admitted into the jury room from the vicinity of Roscburg, T. B. Neuhausen, who has been in charge of the Roseburg Land Ofllce since the suspension of J T. Bridges and J. II. Booth. Is now assisting Mr. Heney in the preparation of ovidence to be sub mitted before the grand jury. The nature of this can only be conjectured, but it is thought to have a bearing on the future Indictment of persons who have In the past had to do with the management and conduct of the Land Office. Work of Grand Jury Rushed. Mr. Heney and Mr. Pagin are prepar ing to return to Washington on Tues day next, and the work of the grand Jury is being rushed through to that end. It is -possible that indictments may be returned this afternoon, but It Its thought the most Important devel opments pending will not be made pub lic before Saturday, and perhaps Mon day, which -will be tne last day of the present session. It is rumored that the Investigation into the plot against Mr. Heney, which had as Its object his Indictment by th local grand Jury on a serious charge, will bear fruit before the adjournment on Monday evening, and that some In dictments are likely to be returned MAP OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION GROUNDS SHOWING LOCATION OF ALL THE EXHIBIT AND STATE BUILDINGS 1500 PIANOS PRICES 150.00 174.00 196.00 218.00 2S8.00 S256.00 268.00 286.00 308.00 S324.00 838.00 1500 PIANOS A LITTLE DOWN AND A LITTLE EACH MONTH SECURES !

Dog Picks Out His Master in Court Skye-T errler, the Bone of Con tention. Decide Question of Hit Ownership. THE court room was crowded and the spectators restless In fevered ex pectancy. Mrs. Bennett had stated on the stand that she raised the dog from a pup. Mrs. Owen said that she had brought the canine down from Montana. Numerous persons took the stand and testified this way and that way. Varied descriptions of the dog were given. This time ho was sandy and this time gray and the next time a shaggy brown. The arguments waxed bitter. There was much conjecture as to what kind of a dog was causing all the contro versy as to his ownership. Some con ceived, him a beautiful and lovable St. Bernard, while others painted mental pic tures of a sagacious fox terrier. Another assumed that the cur was an exceptional member of the mastiff species, while the fourth argued that he must surely be a lithe greyhound. At last Judge Hogue announced: "Bring In tho dog." The bailiff got busy In a hurry, and presently, to the sur prise of the expectant spectators, a soiled conglomeration of hair waddled across the court-room floor. Ho was a akye-ter-rier. Judge Hogue extended the courtesy of the floor to the shaggy canine. Mrs. Bennett became quite restless. "Come 'ere, 'Dutch.' " she shouted. "Dutch," if that was his name, resent ed this, and drawing himself up with hauteur that would do credit to a British toff, strutted toward the reporters' box. "Butte, Butte," cried Mrs. Owen. "Not a word," thundered Judge Hogue. "I wish every person who has an Inter est In that dog to keep perfectly still." And the dog meandered on and on. Fi nally he recognized the young son of Mrs. Owen. With a yelp he was In the lad's lap and covering him with canine kisses. All the coaxing of Mrs. Bennett could not induce "Butte" to give up" his master. Upon tho request of the attorney for the defendant the case was dismissed with the understanding that the dog should remain i In company with its ap parent rightful master, young Owen, apd civil proceedings instituted to discover the legal rights as to his ownership. This done, tho dog and all his champions were taken Into the office and photographed by Clerk Olsen with his new camera. WILL KEEP RECORD OF CROOKS Sheriff Arranges System for Keeping Tally on Criminals. Photographs and minute descriptions of criminals in the County Jail will be taken hereafter by Sheriff Word, to aid in capturing escapes and for other uses. The photographic equipage has already been secured, and instruments for making measurements will be ob tained soon. All scars will be noted, and, taken altogether, It will be a simplified form of the Bertillon sys tem. Chief Deputy Morden, In speak ing of the new plan yesterday, said: "We get descriptions of criminals known to be In this section of tne country, but they are according to the Bertillon system, and as wc have noth ing of that kind here there is no record obtainable. It is, therefore, im possible for us to tell whether the man ever was In the city or not. Then we find It impossible to locate crim inals in the East who have been nere, because of not having measure ments and definite descriptions." When a criminal has been photo graphed, measurements taken, and scars noted, there is more to rely upon than a photograph alone. The head 13 measured from three different posi tions, the ears, thumb and middle lin ger are recorded, and the length of tho forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger Is measured. Meas urements are also taken of the legs, and all of the fingers are marked down upon a card, to which is attached the photograph. The name, age. nativity and other general information is also registered. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby U Cnttlnr Teeth.
