THE MORNING- OEEGOKEAN, THURSDAY, MAKOH 16, 1905:
READY OH TIME
Exhibitors Instructed to
Avoid Delays.
DISPLAYS HOT TO BE LATE
Pair Will Be Complete on Day
of Opening.
MANY EXHIBITS NOW HERE
Exposition Management Will Strive
foV Early Completion of Every
Detail East Indian Com
missioner Arrives.
With the Exposition more than two
months away, exhibits from all parts of
the world are dally reaching the Exposi
tion grounds. There are now a hundred
cars or more of exhibits stored in the
various buildings and word has been re
ceived that many more shipments are en
route from Eastern points and ports.
The significance of this Is that the vari
ous displays can be arranged . more ef
fectively than has ever before been re
corded at an exposition. Since the ex
hibit palaces are nearly all completed and
the others will soon be done, there can
be no delay in getting the Exposition
ready, and it Is announced as the inten
tion of the Exposition management to
have the Fair in a state of readiness even
to the slightest detail on June 1.
In order to Insure tho early shipment
of all displays. Colonel Dosch. head of the
Exhibits department, will send out com
munications to the thousands of partici
pants who have been awarded space, in
structing them to have their goods here
on time. Early shipment will be re
quested of Pacific Coast and "Western ex
hibitors as well as those of more distant
parts, as slowness In shipping, no matter
from what point, would serve the same
purpose of delaying installation to the
best advantage.
Arrival of Foreign Displays.
Three foreign countries now have their
exhibits on the grounds In charge of spe
cial commissioners. These countries are
Hungary, Belgium and China. A car con
taining tho Chinese exhibit reached the
trrounds yesterday and the contents,
which Is carefully packed, was stored In
the Oriental building by Exhibits Custo
dian Frank J. Smith, The Idea In storage
is to place the exhibits at the point they
have been assigned to for display, so that
no time will be lost In assortment later
on. The exhibits which have arrived thus
fax are as follows:
California, three cars containing horti
cultural, mining and educational dis
plays. Alaska, five cars containing Government
exhibit
Washington, D. C, two cars of the
fisheries exhibits.
Idaho, four cars containing mining, agri
cultural and agricultural departments.
Montana, four cars of ore, agricultural
products and educational exhibits.
Massachusetts, two cars of furniture,
booth material, agricultural products and
educational display.
Belgium, one car containing the national
exhibit
Hungary, two cars of home manufac
tured wares.
China, one car of fine manufactured
goods, curios and parchments.
Thirty cars additional are due before the
end of the week, conveying the Japanese,
German, East Indies. Argentine, Persian
and other exhibits, the sources of which
are not known at this time.
Preceding the East Indies shipment.
Commissioner H. E. Hamilton of that
country reached Portland yesterday morn
ing and spent the day at the Exposition.
Commissioner Hamilton states that In his
country the Exposition is widely known
of. and there is a general desire among
the merchants, producers and traders to
have East Indian products established on
the Western market The exhibit from
the East Indies will be here in a few
days, having recently been shipped from
New York. It will be the most complete
exhibit from that country ever collected,
so the commissioner states. It consists
of many kinds of carved wood, brass
and metal hammered goods, rugs, sandal
wood designs, ivory, filigree work In gold
and sliver, and expensive Indian shawls.
Some of these shawls, which are hand
made and embroidered, represent a value
of $1000 or more. The entire exhibit has
a total value of $100,000.
CITIZENS WILL MAKE EXHIBIT
Governor of North Dakota Leads
Movement for the Fair.
BISMARCK. NT. D., March 15. (Spe
cial.) The State World's Fair Commis
sion held a meeting today and decided
to make an exhibit at Portland, not
withstanding tho failure of the appro
priation bill. Governor Searles will re
quest total voluntary contributions of
$5000 from citizens of the state, with
which the state's St Louis display can
be transported and Installed, believing
the next Legislature will reimburse
thone who contribute. W. N. Steele, of
Rolla, has consented to act as manager
of the exhibit
The Governor believes that one man
can be found in each county and ten at
large in the state, making 50 in all, who
will contribute $100 each for this pur
pose. Many offers of contributions have
been received already, and it is be
lieved that the state will be able to
make a creditable exhibit
It was a great disappointment to the
advocates of the Lewis and Clark Ex
position when the Legislature found it
Impossible to make an appropriation.
The appropriation was pared to what
was thought the lowest possible figure,
but Governor Searles found a way to
Teto $250,000 of this appropriation,
which he did today.
IN FAVOR OF SUNDAY OPENING
Religious Publication Indorses Port
land Fair's Plans In Editorial.
Opposition to the plans of the Exposi
tion for keeping open on Sundays appears
to be dying out and a sentiment seems
general that the series of conferences,
congresses and musical carnivals which
have been planned are vastly to be pre
ferred to closed gates.
Speaking editorially of this question, the
"Modern View," a well-known religious
paper published at St Louis, has this to
say of the matter, under the heading
"Progressive Portland":
"It Is with some satisfaction that we
note that the Exposition soon to open at
Portland. Or., will not make the unfor
givable and unforgettable blunder that
was committed in St. Louis by not, keep
ing the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
open on- Sunday.
"Instead. Portland's progressive people
will .make Sunday a special day of enjoy
ment, pleasure and splendid recreation
within the borders of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition, which opens
June 1.
"The gates are to be open from 12 at
noon until evening. The Trail (which
corresponds to the 'Midway or "Pike')
will be closed, however. The machinery
will not be In operation, but special at
tention to music, educational features and
religious exercises will be given.
"The workingman and the busy man
of the week will find ample and beautiful
matter to occupy his mind, his curiosity
and his spiritual life. The Exposition at
Portland will be a true religious and spir
itual benefactor to tho thousands who will
visit it gratefully every Sunday, and we
congratulate the directors and manage
ment of the Exposition at Portland upon
their far-sighted wisdom la avoiding
blunders of others in this direction.
"Incidentally we notice that Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of Congregation Beth Is
rael Is one of the committee on con
gresses and conferences. His appointment
is merited and will redound to the benefit
of the Exposition."
Wisconsin Appropriation Killed.
MADISON. Wis., March 15. The Wis
consin Assembly today killed the Senate
bill appropriating $23,000 for an exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
IAUY ARE COMING.
Eastern People Are Interested in the
Exposition
After a visit of two months in the cities
of New York. Philadelphia and Chicago,
H. C. Wortman. of the firm of Olds, Wort
man & King, returned last night over the
Southern Pacific from California.
Mr. WortmanV trip was upon business,
but during the return Journey he stopped
at the Grand Canyon of Colorado and
the Garden of the Gods. Los Angeles and
San Francisco were visited for a day and
In an Interview last night Mr. Wortman
paused in his description of each place
he visited to tell how much the people
had to say about the Lewis and Clark
Centennial.
"In every city that I visited," says Mr.
Wortman. "the business men seemed to
be more Interested In the Exposition than
business and at least a hundred prominent
men Informed me thafthey Intended to
come to the Pacific Coast this year in
stead of going to Europe for their vaca
tion, as has been their custom for many
years.
'I found that the business men of tne
large Eastern cities have come to consider
this ooast as the most progressive part
of tho United "States and that they count
largely upon the amount of Its trade.
"Portland has a great opportualnty be
fore it, and I shall take hold of my duties
with a greater zeal than ever before. This
city Is in a position to make wonderful
strides In the next year, and I think that
every citizen should put his shoulder to
the wheel of progress. Civic Improve
ment interests me- much and I have read
the articles In The Oregonlaa upon the
renewed activity of the Civic Improvement
Association with pleasure. Portland Is as
pretty a city as any that I visited during
my trip, and while every large city has
Its share of billboards, I think that they
should be declared a nuisance in many
places and ordered removed. The streets,
too, should be cleaned and the work of
encouraging property owners to clean
their yards and Improve the land should
be kept up.
"I was not prepared to hear so much of
the Exposition. The advertising done by
the railroads has caused many people to
consider a vacation in the Northwest and
all that they need Is information of some
of the details of the trip and the Fair.
I think that the Exposition will bring
many homeseekers here this Summer and
that the effect of the Exposition will be
In evidence for a number of years.
"This year I purchased almost double
the amount of goods for the Spring and
Summer trade as usual, on account of the
Exposition, and I think that is the best
evidence of what I think of the crowd
that Is going to visit Portland."
ARGUMENTS IN MINING CASE
Mine-Owners Watching Outcome of
Suit With Much Interest.
Arguments on the merits in the case
of the Badger Gold Mining and Milling
Company vs. the Stockton Gold and Cop
per Mining Company were presented be
fore Judge Bellinger yesterday, who now
has the matter under advisement
This suit involves the title to a half
interest in the Stockton lodes. In Grant
County. Or., and Is the outcome, of an at
tempt of the Stockton company, which
now owns the other half interest, to se
cure title to the whole.
The Badger company bases its right
through a succession of title from William
Moran, a former owner. The defendants
oppose this on the grounds that Moran
abandoned his rights and forfeited his
Interest by being advertised out owing
to his having failed to contribute his pro
portionate assessment The plaintiffs con
ten.d that there was no abandonment on
the part of Moran and that the advertis
ing proceedings were Irrvalld and that the
title as coming from Moran was good
and legal.
The case yesterday consisted of the
presentation of the testimony, as taken
before the examiner, and the arguments.
Many new points of law were introduced.
however, and the decision will be watched
by all mining interests.
M. A. Folsom of Spokane and R. A.
Lelter appear as attorneys for the plain
tiff, and G. G. Ames and John M Gearln
for the defendant

WRITING IS ALIKE
Branton's Letters Compared
With Fletcher Forgery,
SAME WORDS MISSPELLED
District Attorney Brown Is Securing
Strong Evidence Against the
Man Charged With Shooting
John Fletcher.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. March 15
(Special.) Slowlv but surelv District
Attorney George M. Brown, Is drawing
the meshes of the law around John
Branton, charged with tho shooting of
John Fletcher. Prosecutor Brown, as
soon as he gained possession of the let
ter which was received by Marshal Un
derwood, found that the word expense
was spelled expence. The word Mar
shal was spelled "Marahol," and there
were several other misspelled words
and peculiar characteristics shown In
the woful attempt to disguise the
handwriting. Without giving his rea
son, Mr. Brown visited the banks of
Cottage Grove, tho stores and from
these places he was able to obtain spec
imens of Branton's handwriting.
These specimens were compared with
the handwriting- on the note which
was received by the MarshaL The "C"
in Cottage and the "G" In Grove, were
so alike that at first glance is was
plain that one man had written both
and that man was Branton. Attorney
Brown, however, was not satisfied. In
order to trap Branton, he began hunt
ing around for a letter in which Bran
ton had used the word "expense." Here
Mr. Brown was able to obtain several
orders issued by John Branton on a
number of local business men, wherein
he used the name of John Fletcher.
These orders read: "Please let John
Fletcher have and the way John
Branton signed the name of John
Fletcher, was identical to that on the
note which Branton alleges that
Fletcher wrote giving information
about his suicide.
With this Information and damaging

evidence. Prosecutor Brown began, a
still hunt for a letter in which Branton
used the word "expense." Tuesday he
went to Eugene and while there- found
that Branton had written a letter to
Judge Chrlsman. This letter was
turned over to Mr. Brown and there was
.the word expense spelled "expence."
The "C" tn Cottage and the "G" In
Grove were also alike.
These two letters were taken to Miss
S. DorrlB of Eugeneand facsimiles made
for The Oregonlaa. The letter which was
sent through the mails to Marshal "Un
derwood Is printed in fulL Branton In at
tempting to disguise his handwriting for
got there wcro such persons as experts.
When the question of the writing of the
letter which is signed John Fletcher,
which Fletcher denlnes emphatically that
he wrote, was brought to Branton's atten
tion. Branton declared that experts or
no experts, it would be impossible for a
man to write tho same way twice. Since
he found that Attorney Brown bad ob
tained possession of a number of his
letters he has shown considerable nervous
ness. The letter addressed to Judge
Chrlsman is not in fulL Branton makes
Inquiry as to the necessary steps ho would
have to take In order to be appointed
administrator of his last wife's estate.
In this letter he wishes to know about
the expense and It will bo noted that he
spells It "expence," just as the word Is
spelled In the first letter. It will also be
noted that tho small "c" In .tho word
takes an upward turn and Is larger In
both Instances than any of the rest of the
letters.
Here in Cottage Grovo and In Eugene
there is an opinion that Branton will con
fess. A number of his friends who were
firmly convinced that Branton was a
wronged man until the similarity in the
handwriting of the note and that of Bran
ton's own characteristic handwriting was
pointed out have now changed their
minds. They bellevo him to be guilty
and may try to get him to confess, bo as
to eave what little wealth and property
he has left for his three little motherless
children.
APPEAR AT CIRCUIT COURT
Jqhn Branton Is Bound Over by Dis
trict Attorney Brown.
EUGENE, Or., March 15. SpedaL) In
stead of giving John Branton a hearing
before the Justice of the Peace, as Is cus
tomary. District Attorney Brown today
filed an information against him in the
Circuit Court and he was bound over In
$5000 bonds to appear at the adjourned
term of court on April It It Is not be
lieved he will furnish bonds, but he will
probably remain In Jail pending trial for
assault with Intent to kill.
Tho County Court Is not decided on the
question of having the body of Bran
ton's first wife exhumed for the purpose
of ascertaining whether or not she was
poisoned. The matter is being considered
by Judge Chrlsman, and If sufficient evi
dence is presented to show a probability
of making a case, it is probable the body
will be exhumed. There Is strong senti
ment In favor of having the matter in
vestigated to ascertain the cause of the
death of Branton's wives.
Attorneys who were interested in tho
dlvorco case of Hester TSrace Price against
her husband are Inclined to doubt the
rumor that it was for the purpose of
marrying Branton that the divorce was
secured. While there might be such a
possibility, yet there were circum
stances which would seem to argue
against such an alliance.
Acrobat Has Narrow Escape.
A feat that was not upon the pro
gramme at the Grand Theater last night
caused every ona of the large audience to
hold their breath and shudder with horror
with what might have been. Sam TTtfht,
a Japanese acrobat does an act known as
the "Slide for Life." He walks upon a
tight rope stretched from the stage to the
ceiling and then turns and slides with
lightning-like rapidity to the stage. He
was Just starting upon the dangerous
slide when he lost his balance, but man
aged to catch the rope with one hand and
thus save a fall of over 40 feet to the
chairs occupied by tho' audience, where he
would doubtless have met Instant death.

ASK FOR NEW DEAL
Anti-Machine People Will Meet
to Organize.
WILL FORM POLITICAL CLUB
Those Interested Declare Thsy Arc
Backing No Particular Candidate,
and Have No Motive Save to
Exterminate the Bosses.
With more than 1000 Republicans In
vited to attend the christening of the
anu-machlno infant, boomers of the
new regime expect to celebrate a de
mise of the Matthews and the Simon
factions alike and to start the regener
ated product on its .career with soul
atlrring pomp and auspicious portent
Tho ceremonies will be held in room
400 of Allaky building; Third and Mor
rison streets. Republicans of all fac
tional creeds have received invitations.
The watchword of the new movement
Is "no bossism" and Its battlecry Is
"new deal."
The professed purpose of Us promot
ers is to supplant one-man power and
machine rule with "all Republicans on
an equal footing, secrecy abolished,
special privileges to none."
All of which sounds very good to
machine men and independent alike.
And those who have ushered the in
fant into the world say that when it
shall have grown to the proud estate
of an adult it will not forget its par
entage as other machines have done.
The gentlemen who shall attend the
ceremonies will organize themselves
into a club. So much are they said to
detest programmes that all the doings
will proceed from the spontaneity of
tho occasion and their performers will
not be controlled by strings leading;
behind the scenes. Not even have the
gentlemen chosen tho namo of the in
fant so they say.
The child was born last Friday night
and nearly a score of patriots attended
the arrival of the newcomer. Since
that time rumors have been floating
about that it was brought into the
world in the interest of the reform ele
ment which was trying to capture the
organization of the party. This was
denied last night by one of the fathers
of the "new deal," who said:
"There's not a word of truth in it'
Nor was the new movement prompted
by desire to further the political ambi
tions or any candidate nor political sect
according to his statement "At the
preliminary meeting- last week not one
of the men who attended is desirous of
attaining' office, except perhaps one."
"Who are candidates talked of by
promoters of the new deal?" was asked.
"We haven't any. What we're really
after is the capture of the next city
central committee."
