WARD-GIVES STRONG DENIAL Superintendent Declares He Did Not Write the Demands Presented Contractor BennettSays Ho Tried to Prevent Strike. J As the contractors become more de termined not to grant the demands ot the strikers at the Fair and to "close" It to all but union labor, organized labor Is rallying round the standard o the Building Trades Alliance. Following the meeting of the Federated Trades Council of Tuesday night, at which the sympa thy and support of all the unions were extended to the building trades in their ef forts to aid unionism, about 60 men, S not milled with the building trades, went on strike at the Fair grounds yesterday. These wore 37 carpenters In the em ploy of Tinker & De Gesen, 10 or 15 more plasterers from the Government build ing and the rest pile-drivers in the employ of "Wakefield & Jacobson. The moral effect of such a demon stration cannot be calculated, but the ac tual physical effect was practically to tie up work on the Trail. Some Men at Work. Work on the Government building and the re3t of the grounds went on as the tlay before. All crews of men were filled except at the American Inn and on the Government building. In these two in stances work Is not progressing as rapidly es hoped for, but the contractors are for from despairing, and expect to finish In time, even If they are limited to their present crews. J. EL Bennett states that he has 2SQ men at work on tho Government building, though the strike leaders say he has not over 100. The Fair officials persist in their policy of keeping ail visitors from crossing the bridge to the Government building. H. B. "Ward, the former superintendent for Contractor Bennett of the Govern ment buildings at the Exposition, who has also been accused of being a strike leader, denies that he was in any way responsible for the walk-out of the strik ers last Friday and further says that he did all in his power to prevent the men leaving work. He does not belong to any of the unions interested and there lore had no word in their deliberations. In answer to the statement that he penned the demands made upon Con tractor Bennett he said: Never Penned Demands. "I want to deny the report that 1 wrote the demands made upon Mr. Ben nett by the workmen. I never saw the paper nor do I know the contents ex cept such part of it as- fias been told me by Mr. Bennett. Last Friday the carpenters quit work at B o clock in the morning, and at noon I found a number of the plasterers eating their lunch. 1 asked them if they were working. One of them replied in the affirmative and I remarked that It was an outrage for the district council to call out the carpen ters and to let the plasterers work. In answer to another accusation I want to cay that I was not discharged by Mr. Bennett, but quit my Job because I did not desire to assume the responsibility of the position with a lot of unskilled workmen. I am a contractor myself and now have a number of contracts for buildings along the Trail, and I shall at tend to them." C. H. Gram, state organizer for the American Federation of Labor, stated last night that although tho official contributions to the Lewis and Clark Fair from the unions of Portland was a rather Email amount, the Individual contributions on the part of those who are immediately affiliated with organ ized labor amounted to a good deal more. "Many individuals," said Mr. Gram, "contributed sums ranging from 510 lo 960, and more, and the amount of their contributions should be consid ered when an estimate is made of what the labor unions of Portland have done for the Fair. It Is impossible, of course, to ascertain the exact amount of such contributions, but the point which Mr. Gram wishes to make Is that the labor unions of Portland have had the intersts of the Fair at heart from the boglnning. and wished to see It a eucees. ' way. and expects to advertise for pro posals within a few days. The local United States Engineers Department is now awaiting official advice from the Chief Engineer as to the availability of the funds provided by Congress. This will come In a state ment of the amount of money appro priated, and a request for the submit tal of an estimate of the work to tie. done under each -project, with the amount of money provided for the same. Major Langfitt will then submit such estimates for the approval, of the Chief Engineer, and upon its receipt will be at liberty to proceed with the work. All matters are in such shape, however, that it will take but about two weeks after the receipt of the re quest to secure the Chief Engineer's ap proval of the estimates, so that It Is anticipated that within the next month or so work on all projects will be begun. LAKE COUNTY GETTDJG BUSY Itocallgrandjury Is to Hold Convention and Form Development League. LakeIew, Or., is to hold a meeting Saturday which will have for Its pur- Land-Fraud Investigations to Be Renewed. SESSIONS OPEN THIS MONTH United States District Attorney Heney Will Return About March 20 to Continue His Work on Government Cases. There is about to be a-,boom In the land fraud investigation, and In a few days many of the men who hold tlmberland fore, that 15 or 3) days will not be too long a time for the Jury to have In mak ing the 'remainder of lis Investigations, and for this reason it is probable that Mr. Heney. will return and call the Jury for work before the day set for work by the court. It has been stated by Judge Bellinger that the present Jury must adjourn on the date that the Circuit Court eloses Its session. This time of closing Is April 10. which settles the duration ot the jury's existence. The land-fraud cases are so mixed and mingled one with the other, there are so many points and personages in common and so many political and business entanglements running through the cases, that It would be a hardship on both Government and Jury to bring the last of the Investigations before an en tirely new body. Ignorant of what had gone before. For this reason, as well as many others. It Is thought that an effort will be mado to finish the present Investi gations before the Jury now sitting has to pass out of service. Charged With Perjury. Morris Perry, a porter employed by Anderson & Crocker, North-End saloon keepers, got himself Into trouble in the Police Court yesterday morning through BUILT LIKE A YACHT Motor Car Is Constructed for Safety and Speed. IT CANNOT BE TELESCOPED Momentum Will Save It From Smash Up New'Car Will Be Put on West Side Run of the Southern Pacific. OMAHA. Neb.. March 8. (Special.) . motor car that Is expected to work a revo lution In lnterurban traffic Is to be sen GASOLINE MOTOR CAR THAT WILL BE PUT ON THE WEST SIDE LINE OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC rounded, so that it can be flushed with hot water, killing all germs and removing all dirt with the least possible labor. Ventilation, heating and lighting are all on novel principles. Fresh air Is taken in from the top of the car and by small ducts gradually diffused throughout the entire car, the foul air being sucked out by means of Cottier ventilators in the roof. Thus on almost perfect system of fresh air supply Is produced. For heating the hot water from the cylinder Jackets of the engine is run around the sides of the car so that the heat is radiated to the Interior of tha car. In the Summer time this water Is piped to colls beneath the car. The heating of the car -can be regulated by the controlling valve, which passes more or less water through the car colls or through the cool ing or radiating colls below. The car has an acetyllne headlight and Is lighted within by acetyllne gas with opalescent panels, giving a strong, pow erful light for reading purposes over the shoulder. ' Motor car No. 1 has a seating capacity of 25 persons. No. 2, winch Is now under construction, will hold 60. This Is In tended for longer journeys on some of the branch lines of the system. The cars have been .entirely designed and built at the Omaha shops of the Union Pacific under the supervision of "W. R. McKeen. Jr., superintendent of motive power and machinery. Much effort has been put forth and considerable sums have been spent in preliminary work with a view to developing a car that could furnish rapid and economical transit for use on steam railways in competition with or In place of the lnterurban electric trolley cars. The accompanying illustration shows the new gasoline motor car which is to be put on the West Side run of the Southern Pacific as soon as the car Is tested and sent to the Coast. The photograph was taken In front of the Omaha shops, where It was built, just as It stood after having been tried out over the road. The prelim inary runs of the car have been entirely successful, and great speed and power has been shown. The official test will be made. In tho presence of a large number of railway officials, on March 7, and If the car is acceptable It will be shipped at once to Portland, where It will be put In service between Portland and Hills bo ro. The car will have approximately the same capacity as one of the Qregon City cars of the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company, though It Is a larger and heav ier car. The forward end will be occupied hy the motor cab and machinery, while the rear compartment will be used as the passenger coach. It is said that the car will be capable of maintaining a speed of 60 miles an hour or more, and that It will have no difficulty In carrying a full load over any grade to be found on the West Side tracks. It is expected that the car will reach Portland about the middle or latter part of the month.

Contractors from the East have arrived In Hood River to figure on the construc tion of the proposed railroad of the Ore gon Lumber Company to connect the tim ber belt of the upper valley with the mills in this city. Engineer West states that the rights of way have not all been se cured, but things are shaping up rapidly, and he hopes to begin construction work In a few weeks. It is likely the road will follow up the east side of the river and strike the apple belt, which will be one of the principal feeders of the road.

With the assurance of funds as pro vided by the river and harbor bill. Gov ernment work on the Columbia River Jetty is now being rapidly pushed for ward. The force of men engaged In re pairing the trestle work and tramway damaged by the winter storms is being lardy increased, and it is the purpose of the officials to have all ihis repair work completed before the delivery of stone begins, so that at that time actual extension work can be commenced. Major Langfitt la now preparing spe clfications for the material to bo re quired this year in the construction ot Itho superstructure, including new tram- throughout the state will begin to tremble again at the remembrance of what they have done. The heretofore unconsidered fact that the Federal grand Jury would have to adjourn sine die on the same day that the United States Circuit Court adjourned Its present term has awakened the Gov ernment officials, who are handling the land-fraud investigation, into new and active life. It was the Intention of Francis J. Heney, United States District Attorney, when he left Portland for Washington, D. C, to return to this city about April 1 for the further delving Into the tangle of unre garded law. This plan now is to be changed and Mr. Heney will reach Port land ahead of that time, probably as soon as March 20 or 25, in order to have plenty of time to consider those things which ahe now pending and in abeyance. It was announced in court before tha adjournment of tho jury, that there had been several indictments voted, which Mr. Pagln had not bad time to prepare and which would for this reason hang In suspense until the reconvention of tha jury on April L In addition to these cases, there are many Important matters to come up before the jury for investigation, some of which have not as yet been pre sented even in part. It Is thought there- hls efforts to protect his employers In his testimony. John Crocker, one of the keepers of the saloon, was charged with selling liquor after hours. Officer Welch testified to seeing four men drinking In the place; He said that among them was the porter. When placed on the stand. Perry persisted that there were but two men In the place, and tho court ordered that a charge of perjury be placed against the witness. Crocker was found guilty of the charge against him and fined $25. Safe-Cracker Bound Over. ' George Mason, .the negro who was ar rested by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow on charges of cracking various safes In the city, was arraigned before Judge Hogue yesterday afternoon. He waived preliminary examination . and was held to answer to the grand jury, under a bond of $1500. Mason Is looked upon as a bad man, and the police feel more at ease now that he Is safely In jail. Rockhlll Goes to China in April. WASHINGTON-, March 8. The resig nation of W. W. Rockhlll as director of the Bureau of American Republics has been accepted and Mr. Rockhlll. who has been confirmed to succeed Mr. Conger as Minister to China, wilr leave for bis new post some time In April. from the Union Pacific shops here, where it has just been completed, to Portland It is to be used for local passenger service. The car differs in almost every respect from anything previously put upon the track. In shape It resembles an Inverted racing yacht. The roof tapers from the top and Is perfectly smooth and rounded. The front is tapered to a sharp point, so as to afford the least possible resistance. This design gives It immense strength. In collision it cannot be telescoped or crushed. Its momentum will save it from a smash-up. Two cars of this type meeting on the same track will slide by each other with out serious Injury, and should they roll over. It is claimed the motion would be so gradual as to avoid injury to the pas sengers. It Is believed to be tho nearest approach to a wreck-proof car yet de vised. Tho motive power is a slx-cyllndered gasoline engine. The car, however. Is provided with large air reservoirs In or der that It may be started and Btopped by means of air pressure, thereby avoiding the series of Jars and Jolts heretofore con sidered inseparable from the gasoline motor. Special attention has been given to the sanitary features. The floor of the car Is sealed and water tight and the edges ONE OF PORTLAND'S PICTURESQUE HILLSIDE HOUSES HOME OF DH, ED3IOTD J. TABKE.

He took advantage or tne in vitation, and the meeting called for this afternoon Is the result. To thoroughly probe" the charges. Is the public declaration. Councilman Flegel makes the assertion that he can absolute ly prove to any fair-minded body of per sons that Chief Hunt has neglected to do his- duty regarding the early closing ot saloons: that he has known thoy were violating the law. and purposely allowed It. keeping the patrolmen out of the favored drlnkshops. It Is said that Chief Hunt "welcomes the Investigation." and that he will emerge from It with flying colors. Cap tain Bailey, of the second relief, having charge of the closed saloon ordinance, will testify that practically all are closed. He will swear that so far as- lies" In the power of an exceedingly small number oC patrolmen, the ordinance 13 observed.

HEW APPB0ACHES FOE BRIDGE Improvements Costing $15,000 Soon to Be Made on Burnside Structure. The building of new approaches for the Bumslde-street bridge and other Im provements will be commenced soon, and bids will be advertised for. The estimated. cost of the work Is $15,000 and includes concrete bulkheads for the embankment on both sides. The west approach will be entirely rebuilt, while on the east ap proach only repair work will be done. W. S. Chapman, a civil engineer, has pre pared plans and specifications and will have charge of the work for the county. Concrete embankments at each end will shorten the approach and Insure greater durability to the structure and lessen tho cost of repairs in the future, while the work Is in progress traffic may be Inter fered with for a short time.
