for Exhibitors.

Machinery Hall Will Be Supple
merited With Large Wings, to Be
Built at Once Applications
for Exhibits Refused.
The floor space at the Lewis and Clark
Fair Is now double that originally pro
vided for. Contracts let yesterday to
E. A. 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.

LODGERS WERE TOO SCARCE
Rooming-Housekeeper Says He Was
Duped Into Buying.
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.' "

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

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." '

the "Williamson connection will bo fin

That there are other things on the
mind of the Jury than the Investiga
tion into the conduct of Mr. "William

are still being admitted into the jury
room from the vicinity of Roscburg, T.

but it is thought to have a bearing on
the future Indictment of persons who

Mr. Heney and Mr. Pagin are prepar
ing to return to Washington on Tues

may be returned this afternoon, but It
Its thought the most Important devel

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

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.
