EXHIBIT AT FAIR ASSURED Commissioners May Now Fol low Original Plans. GOODE ORDERS THE CHANGE By Relocating Fraternal Temple and Massachusetts Building They Will Be More Conveniently Situated for Visitors. The controversy over the location ol the Washington state building; at the Lewie and Clark fair was settled yester day afternoon, when President Goodc and the Fair management decided to give the "Washington commission the site formerly designated for the Massachusetts and the Fraternal buildings. This action on the part of the Exposi tion management will undoubtedly be re ceived -with satisfaction by the Washing ton State Commission, for it will permit that body to proceed with the plans which have already been provided for the "Wash ington building, and to commence at an early date upon its construction. When tho Washington State Commis sion visited Portland a short time ago, and selected a site for the Washington building, it did so witn the assurance of the Fair management that the plot picked out was 145 by 250 feet In dimensions. With this understanding the Washington lans planned the arrangements of their exhibits, the style of the building, and ail the details of construction. A few days ago, however. It was discovered that, on account of the sloping nature of the ground, it would be Impossible to utilize the full space allotted, and that the building could not be built larger than 130 by 150 feet. In State Building Row. The Washington commissioners took ex ception to this discovery and for a time there was talk st abandoning the plans for an exhibit. This was solved yester day afternoon, however, by the announce ment made by President Goode to the effect that the change would be made in tho location of the Massachusetts and Fraternal buildings. This change will place the Washington building In the row with the California and Oregon bujldlngs, and in reality will be for the better appearance of the Fair grounds. The "Washington commissioners are con templating the erection of a building which will compare very favorably with the other large buildings of the Exposi tion. The Massachusetts and tho Fraternal buildings, which were displaced, were to have been social buildings for the use of the people of Massachusetts and for the members of fraternal societies , who visited the Fair. No exhibits of any kind were planned to be placed in them. Both structuros would have been small, and would not have matched so well with the other larger structures built around them. For this reason it is thought that the change will be a good one. "Improvement," Says Mitchell. J. L. Mitchell, one of the prominent members of the Fraternal Buildings As sociation, in speaking of the change was of the opinion that President Goode had done -well to make It, and that it would be for the betterment of the Fair. The two displaced buildings now have the choice of three locations, all of which are in the row with the state buildings, and any of them good for the purposes of the social halls. In the estimation of Mr. Mitchell, it will be in reality better for the Fraternal building to be placed in the new location, because It will be nearer the center of the row of state buildings, and can be made a more cen tral headquarters for the use of those visitors who will be entitled to enjoy Its adantages. The Fraternal Building Association will meet on Wednesday, March 1, to decide definitely upon plans for their building. BROWS DIGNITY IS HURT One of Peabody Lawyers, Accuses Chairman of Slandering Him. DENVER. Colo.. Feb. 22. At an open cession of the legislative committee hav ing In charge the Peabody-Adams Guber natorial contest, James H. Brown, a Pea body attorney, appeared today, and in an impassioned address charged Chairman Griffith with making false accusations against him. Mr. Brown declared that he had been accused by Griffith during an executive session of the committee of at tempting to secure, certain depositions taken by the contestee for the purpose of eliminating statements detrimental to Peabody's case. Some of the members of the committee resented the" attack on the chairman, and spoke their displeasure to Mr. Brown, who replied that he had been accued unwarrantedly, and he pro posed to be heard. Representative Healy interrupted Mr. Brown to deny that Chairman Griffith had made any charge against him, and Brown replied that Griffith had been quoted as accusing him in substance as stated, and he (Brown) would hold blm accountable until a disclaimer was made. Griffith responded that he was not re sponsible for statements appearing in the press, and wanted no controversy with Brown. "Yes, but I have a controversy with you, retorted Brown. Brown then explained that he did ask the privilege of examining certain deposi tions for the purpose of ascertaining how many contained no cross-examination by attorneys for Peabody. Mr. Griffith and Secretary Vinton made statements in which they told of a visit to the latter on Sunday by a representa tlve of Brown, who demanded that the depositions In question be turned over to him. Mr. Vinton referred the matter to Chairman Griffith, who Instructed him to retain possession of the documents, and. under no circumstances, permit any one to have them without a receipt. No fur ther demand was made by Brown, they said. REJECTS GOOD GOVERNMENT Philadelphia Snows Under All Candi dates of City Party. PHILADELPHIA Feb. 22.

Turning south, the Russians cap tured a few miles distant a transport of supplies of which the small command was In great need. During the course of the night the Jap anese surrounded the command on three sides.

Washington's Birthday Celebration at Paris Marked by Tribute to Naval Hero of Revolution. PARIS, Feb. 22. The feature of the Washington's birthday banquet of the American Club was a speech by Ambas sador Porter, detailing the search he has prosecuted the last five years for the grave of the founder of the American navy, John Paul Jones. "Before coming to France," said Gen eral Porter, "I felt a sense of humiliation to think that the most famous naval hero of the Revolution and the founder of the American navy has been permitted to He for more than a century in an unknown and forgotten foreign grave without an effort to rescue the remains from obliv ion." The Ambassador related the remarkable search that has been made to determine the authentic grave of Jones. Historians differed concerning his resting place. The archives were burned during the Revolu tion and the Commune of 1S71, and the records of the National Assembly which appointed the distinguished delegation for the funeral of John Paul Jones failed to disclose the burial place. An Interesting letter was discovered, showing that no money was available for the funeral and that M. Simonneau, Commissary of Po lice, generously paid out of his own pocket expenses amounting to 592. The search finally made It certain that the interment was In the now abandoned Saint Louis Cemetery, the ground of which has been covered with buildings. IN HOOD-STREET SALOON A shaft was sunk and 17 bodies were found undisturbed. After difficult neKO tiations lasting over a year, the proprie tors and tenants gave options for the necessary excavations, whereupon esti mates for future cost of the investigation amounting to 535,000 were recommended to Congress by Presluent Roosevelt. If the appropriation Is refused. General Porter explained, the options will lapse and it will be difficult to renew them. In con clusion the Ambassador said: While other nations are feathering the ashes of tlielr heroes In their pantheons, all that Is mortal oC this marvelous orRuw Izer of American victories upon the sea lies like an outcast in a squalid quarter of a distant city In a neglected Krave. where It was placed by the hand of charity to keep It from the potter's field. What wan once consecrated ground Is desecrated by vegetable gardens and even the burial of dogs. It Is fitting that an effort be made to give him appropriate sepulture at least In the land of liberty, which his efforts helped make free. Celebration at Embassy in Rome. ROME, Feb. 22.

E 1 fa At aiJ the Better Kind of Stores 5 cents the ounce or In JO-cent and 25-ccnt Packets The The The HIS PLEA WILL FAIL Senator Mitchell Will Not Get Early Trial. JUDGE BELLINGER TO REFUSE Federal Court Will Move to Old Home In May, Which Would Make Interruption of Pro ceedings Necessary. Senator Mitchell's statement that United States District Attorney Heney would break his promise to him if he did not call the trial of his case in April is exciting some comment in court circles, because it Is well known that the Federal Court docket Is not as yet made up. and- will not be for some time. The examination of the court records shows that It is a usual thine for the Spring term of the court to be called either the latter part of May or the first of June, and it Is the exception" to call the cases to trial earlier. This is due in large part to the delay caused by the work of the grand Jury, which us a usual thing takes a great deal of the time and attention of the District Attorney for the latter part of March and the first o April. This year, in addition to the ordinary causes for delay, arises the contem plated move which is to be made from the temporary quarters now occupied to the postoffice building, on Fifth and Morrison streets, which Is how nearlng completion. It Is the intention of the contractors to have the building ready for occupancy by May 15, and as soon as ready tho Federal Court and the other Government offices will move into their old quarters In the Federal building. For this reason Judge Bellinger does not desire to commence the trial of one of the important cases now pending, and to interrupt his court In the midst of the proceedings by moving from one huildintr to another. It Is understood that Mr. Heney shares this opinion. It aoDears. therefore, that Senator Mitchell will not be aible to persuade the court to give him a trial in April as ho intimates, would be the case when Tie reaches Portland In a few weeks and makes personal application to Judge Bellinger. To grant such a re quest would be out of the ordinary course," and would interfere with the Spring term of the court. PERSONAL MENTION. H. E.

A squad of policemen, called to the Burnside-street bridge to capture a supposed hold-up man, fired seven shots at J. C. Crumble at midnight, as he was running rapidly down the west Incline in an effort to escape. The bullets did not find the mark, but "W. Hillaman and R. N.

The man proved to be Crumble. He turned south on Front, but was stopped by the two men before he went far.

Possibilities of a strike which have been tilling the air about the Government building at the Fair grounds ended yes terday when a general conciliation was brought about between the workmen and Contractor J. E. Bennett. President Goode, of the Exposition, took a hand in tho game and Insisted that employer and employes come to reasonable terms. His demand was acceded to and the trou ble bubble burst. The chief points of friction had been caused by little things, one of them the 51 hospital fee. That was removed and the scale of wages asked for In the de mands of Tuesday were granted. For that matter the wages, demanded are said to have been practically In force already. What was ostensibly the chief cause of trouble, the discharging of a certain foreman, played a considerable part In the settlement, but was not as crucial a point as was anticipated. Contractor Bennett agreed, how'ever, to be careful to ascertain whether any men were work ing against his Interests before discharg ing them. The workmen on the whole were very amenable to argument in their demands, and obtained all they really wished for without going on strike. "William G. Lang was removed from the position of chief of the guards, having been accused of causing trouble Tues day. Major C. E. McDonell, who Is to have charge of the Exposition guards during the Summer, was placed In com mand yesterday and will retain that po sition.
