ST EXPOSITION
Famous Congregational Minis
ter Wires His Acceptance
to the Committee.
WILL SPEAK HERE AUG. 27
Acceptances Received From Seven
Other Distinguished Men to
J Come Hero Programme
' ' .Under Preparation.
Rev..Kewell wight Hlllls, D. T., pastor
of the Plymouth Congregational Church,
BrooKlyn, and one of the foremost minis
ters of the United States, wired his ac
ceptance yesterday to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition to preach in the Audi
torium. He will appear at that place on
the afternoon of August 27, and will prob
ably take part In the conference on civics.
The .committee on conferences is par
ticularly pleased at Dr. Hlllls acceptance.
Besides being one of the country's big
preachers, he Is widely known as a writer,
and his appearance In the auditorium will
undoubtedly be the occasion of a vast at
tendance. Of Dr. Hlllls and his work. Dr. Waters,
a well known preacher, writes:
"As a builder of sentences, the world
has not had his equal since the days of
Emerson. He has the beauty and vision
quality of Ruskin and the Are of Carlyle.
"If the young man were to speak to me
of the doctor's great lectures, or great
sermons, I would like to have them traced,
as I have seen them traced, hack to their
beginning. They all have a biography.
They were no more born complete and
perfect than an oak tree is born into the
world a hundred feet Jgh. The doctor,
maybe, could show us the different stages
of thfeir development. If he did, we would
pee piles and piles of manuscript, written
and rewritten, and lined and interlined.
As we held them in our hands they would
Bmell of the midnight oil. No monk bent
over his Illuminated missal; no carver
ever lingered for years over his bit of
carving; no Angellco, upon his knees,
toiled over his picture; no lapidary pol
ished his precious stones with more toll
and care and prayer than this man has
tolled and waited and prayed to perfect
his message.
"Men- have remarked in my hearing
upon this favored child of fate, and point
ed out the wondrous rich gifts which God
has given him. But, to my mind, the thin
face has meant even more than the poetic
eye; and the gray hairs have been more
eloquent than the flute-like voice. I have
always felt that the great lesson of
Dwlght Hillis' life Is 'the unfailing and
true reward of the man who works.' "
In addition to the acceptance wired by
Mr. Hillis, six other names of distin
guished men were added to ihe list that
will participate in the conferences. Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, president of the Uni
versity of California, also communicated
with the committee, saying that he fully
expects to come to the Exposition, and
will make the trip If it is possible to do
so. Those whose acceptances were re
ceived are:
Amos Parker Wilder, of the University
of Wisconsin, and a distinguished author
ity -on all matters pertaining to civics.
Professor Frank J. Goodnow, professor
of constitutional law at Columbia- Uni
versity, and one of the first authorities
of the country on constitutional law.
F. Louis Boldcn, Superintendent of
Schools at St. Louis. Mr. Soldon will
take part In the educational conference.
Professpr Samuel McCune Lindsay, of
the v"harton School of Finance and Com
merce, at Philadelphia, and secretary of
the National child-labor committee, with
headquarters In New York. Professor
Lindsay also holds the chair of sociology
In the University of Pennsylvania.
Heniy M. Lelpzlger. member of the New
York City Board of Education. Mr. Leip
zlger has been invited to participate in
thp educational conference.
Within a couple- of weeks the committee
expects to have Us lists well filled and a
complete programme made out for the
entire series of conferences and con
gresses. EXHIBIT LAPSES VILIj BE FEW
Responses to Edict Are General, and
Few Remain Out.
When the hour arrives on May 1 for
the "distribution of space left vacant at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition through
lapses, there will be -very little to do. In
fact. It looks very much like there will not
hp 100 square feet to distribute, and pos
sibly not a single one will be available.
The responses to the recent edict of -the
exhibits department ordering immediate
a n lion towards Installation have been
many and hurried. To quote figures, yes
terday morning dawned with but 18 pros
pective delinquents out of 300 exhibitors.
When the day closed there were but 13,
and these have until next Tuesday morn
ing to make good. Director of Exhibits
Posch believes that most of these will
come In before their time is up, and at
the outside there will not he more than
half a dozen lapses. While this condition
of affairs is particularly flattering to the
Exposition officials, it is not a matter
for felicitation on the part of several hun
dred firms that are anxiously standing in
line waiting for some sort of opening to
get It is possible, however, that some
vacancies may be created oven after par
tial Installation, on account of firms
drawir- out for various reasons, so Colo
nel Dosch states, and he feels that those
in waiting need not necessarily lose all
hope.

TACOMA, Wash., April 27. (Special.)
The selection of June St as the date to
be observed as Tacoma day at the Port
land Fair presents an unhappy coincidence
in that it conflicts with the date of the
Rose Carnival.
An effort will be made by the Hose
Carnival committee to have the date at
the Exposition changed. Chairman Ira
H. Case stated today that a meeting of
that body will he called at an early date
to consider the matter, and it is expected
Shot & -request will & made. -of. .the. feeid

Babies' Day at the Exposition.
Details of a babies' day at the Lewis

authority on the subject, and in a short
time he will submit a programme which is'

There are to be prizes for the prettiest

SELF-CONTROL IN HOME
Theme of; the Paper Read by Mrs.
A. D. Soper. ,
At the Home Training Association's
meeting yesterday, Mrs. A. D. Soper read
a valuable paper on "Self-Control In the
Home," which she began by quoting, "He
who has not learned to control himself Is
9ot capable of controlling others."
Children unconsciously Imitate and learn
from others, as Mrs. Soper said, and as
the home is the best school of life, lucky
are the husband and wife who have had
the influence of a good home. The speak-

COMMISSION.
Senator T. B. Sumner, of Everett.
SEATTLE, April 27. A substantial
member of the Lewis and Clark Com
mission of the State of Washington is
Senator T. B. Sumner, of Everett.
Senator Sumner has been the senior
representative of Snohomish County
for a number of years and is conceded
to be one of the best informed men
on state affairs in the Northwest. He
lives at Everett and Is the head of the
Sumner Iron Works. He is a large
employer of labor and draws much of
his political strength from men of
that class, with whom he has always
been very popular. Senator Sumner
pursues the Fame methods In politics
that he does In conducting his busi
ness; he makes up his mind that a
thing is right and then goes ahead.
He believes to some extent in bringing
the public around to his way of think
ing and has always been successful In
that regard. Like other able men.
Senator Sumner has his enemies, but
they are pretty well confined to those
who have tried to down him in poli
tics and failed.
er, aside from reference to had temper,
said that lack of self-control was mani
fested by the woman who, instead of re
garding housework as a mere Incident In
comparison with the companionship she
owes her husband and children, lets hcr
sel become a slave to cooking and dish
washing. "The woman whose pride drives her to
spend days at work sewing for her chil
dren that they may surpass others la
finery Is an example of uncontrolled van
ity," said Mrs. Soper.
She said also that fathers, as well as
mothers, exhibited lack of self-control
wnich, through all the experiences of
family life, is needed to make home - a
place of reuge, rather than a place to
flee from.
HOLMES PROPERTY IS SOLD
SeVcnty-Five Thousand Dollars Is
Paid for House and Iidt.
The home of the late Byron Z. Holmes,
at Tenth and Washington streets, has
been sold for a high price. The exact
amount has not yet been made public,
but It was entirely satisfactory to Mrs.
Holmes, who had set her price at 575,000.
It Is not believed that It was below this
amount.
The purchaser, who was represented in
the deal by the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company, Intends making immediate Im
provement, probably a tall brick struc
ture. The property Is a quarter block,
100x100 feet, and Is an excellent site for
such a structure.
It was also reported yesterday that the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company, of St.
Louis, had purchased the southwest cor
ner of Sixth and Washington streets for
5160,000. but this was denied by J. F.
O'Shea, the owner. Negotiations have
been In progress, but so far, states Mr.
O'Shea, he has set no price upon It. He
expressed a decided disinclination to sell
ing, as he considers the property well
worth holding, with the value of all prop
erty soaring as at present.
At the extreme upper end of Washing
ton street, between Lucretia place and
Twenty-third streets, a lot has been sold
Immediately adjoining the new hotel being
built by S. Silverfield. The price paid is
considered very low, 54500 for 50 feet on
Washington street J. D. Wharton, the
purchaser, will place a modern building
upon the site immediately.

ERRORS IN BOOKKEEPING
Some Sensational Evidence Over Al
leged Bribery Is Expected in
the Action' Where Con
tractors .Disagree.'
There may be sensational disclosures in
the trial of the suit of J. B. Bridges
against Robert Wakefield to recover prof
its arising from the building of the Port
land drydock, In which Bridges and Wake
field were partners. The trial was begun
yesterday before Judge Cleland, and will
be continued today.
Bridges sues for a share of the pro-fits,
which, with the shipbuilding plant on
hand at the time the dock was completed,
was about 5S000, and he demands 546S0 for
his services In superintending the work
for 468 days. In his answer Wakefield
makes charges against Bridges of having
paid Joseph Paquet. J. E. Bennett and
Sydney Smyth, contractors. 51000 each to
cause collusive bids to be filed, and also
says Bridges filed a bid for the same
purpose. Under a decision of the United
States Supreme Court, where there has
been fraud In the letting of a contract,
Hogue & Wilbur, attorneys for Wakefield,
say a party concerned cannot obtain any
of the profits through a court of law. No
evidence on this point has yet been
Introduced.
Malcolm Macauley, an expert, who ex
amined the books of Wakefield &
Bridges, testified to errors which he found
of various kinds to the detriment of
Bridges, amounting to several thousand
dollars. The defense will endeavor to com
bat this with contradictory testimony.
S. L. Beard, M. B. -Reefer. A. Monford,
J. W. Driver and various others testified
that Bridges superintended all the work
of building the drydock, and was there
from S o'clock In the morning until 4 or
5 o'clock In the evening, every working
day. Wakefield, they said, visited the
dock occasionally.
Bridges testified that the contract was
let to Wakefield in July, 1C02, for 5162,000.
and in August Wakefield asked him to be
come a partner, saying he had a 533S.O0O
job In San Francisco and could not possi
bly do the drydock. He also had other
contracts here. Bridges said he agreed
to superintend the work and share the
profits or losses, and in a subsequent con
versation WTakefield promised to see that
he received compensation for his time In
any event.
Wakefield was to put in one-half the
money. Bridges said, but did not do so,
Vi mrMfosV nut in all -the money.

AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say.
"East Dynne" at the Empire.
The last performancesof "East Lynne"
at the Empire will be the matinees today
and tomorrow and tonight and tomorrow
night.
"East Lynne" Is one of those plays
which brings the people to the theater
again and again, Its marvelous powers
of attraction never apparently growing
fainter. A play with the society people
of England as actors, and the love of a
woman as the barfs of the plot, Is' sure
to find favor with everyone. "East
Lynne" Is one of those plays whose spec
tators shake off the power of the story
only as the curtain falls upon the final
scene. Matinee each afternoon, and one
performance at night, starting at 8:15.
The new stock company Is giving a, per
formance of real merit.
Finis Columbia Company.
For two more days the Columbia curtain
will rlee on the talented company of
players who have entertained pleasure
seeking Portland for over half a year.
Then it will ring down for the last time
and we shall begin to realize how much
we have lost. Let these final nights be
ovations worthy of their merits and their
services. Greet them with hand and
voice, from houses crowded to the dome,
that they may carry away with them as
Individual units pleasant memories of the
days when as a united company they con

Next Week nt the Empire.
The already popular Empire stock com
pany, with Miss Metta Chamberlain, lead
ing woman, and Frank Montgomery, lead
ing man, will open Its fourth week Sun
day afternoon In a strong production of
"The Marble Heart," a romantic love
play in five acts. Although new to Port
land, this strong drama has had a long
season of successes through the East and
also in England. The low price of ad
mission at the Empire makes it absolute
ly necessary to have crowded houses all
the time In order to keep up the stand
ard of productions, and so far each week
seems just a little better than the pre
ceding one. The dally matinees at 2:15 are
constantly growing In popularity.
Star's Many Features.
Three numbers on the Star programme
this week are especially big features.
These are Dunbar's trained goats; Daisy
Harcourt, entertainer, and the moving
pictures. The film on the picture machine
Is called "The Nihilist," and shows a
Governor in Russia blown up by the
bomb of an avenging nihilist. In view of
the many recent assassinations In the
Czar's country, this picture is particular
ly interesting. The trained goats are with
out an equal in their line and act as in
telligently as human beings In performing
their turns. Daisy Harcourt Is the big
gest Individual hit In the history of the
Star. Cole and Cole are graceful acro
bats; Holmes and Mack are singing girls;
Burton bellrlngers give a musical act and
Roscoe Arbuckle sings a catchy senti
mental ballad..
Good Show at the Grand.
Manager Erlckson is presenting another
good bill at the Grand this week. In which
there are some exceedingly clever, turns.
Murphy and Andrews, who are favorites
here, are brim full of fun. Besides pos
sessing a sweet voice. Miss Andrews Is a
charming little actress, and her "Maydce"
could not be more artistically rendered.
Patsy Doyle, an Irish comedian. Is one of
the best ever seen here. The Fredericks
display real merit In "Her Cowboy Vis
itor." Lyndon and Wrcnn are both good
dancers, and the Aliens have voices above
tho average. Ed Forrest does some dar
ln feats In midair. Mr. Bonner's rich
baritone Is heard to advantage in a pretty
song. The pictures on the grandlscope
are exceedingly good.
Midgets at the Baker.
Children will miss a rare treat if they
do not see the Lilliputian Trio at the
Baker this week. Parents who remember
the pleasure they experienced on seeing
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb will realize
what the sight of these clover midgets
means. They are Just as tiny as the fa
mous Thumbs, and their act Is full of en
tertaining songs and dances and gymnas
tics. The other acts are the latest vau
deville novelties.
City Offenders Before
Municipal Judge Hogue.
gg DL take an ax, cut you down to my
I size and then thrash you within an
Inch of your life," was what Grant Fletch
er, a cripple, said to George Smith. Both
are woodchoppers. The scene of the trou
ble was at First and Columbia streets,
yesterday morning.
Smith had Fletcher arrested, and when
the prisoner was arraigned before Judge
Hogue, a plea of not guilty was entered.
"I was boxlnc hats with a friend of
mine," said Smith, "when this man
Fletcher butted in. Ho called me vile
names, and I took him down and rubbed
his face In a pile of sawdust, after which
I asked him if he had enough. He threat
ened to cut me up, like eo much kindling
wood; he chased me so hard I leaped over
a nine-foot fence, and ran all the way to
police headquarters."
"I called Smith a dirty cur, because he
got too fresh", said Fletcher, In explana
tion of the trouble. "I am always pre
pared to tell cheap skates what I think
of them, and I told this guy. Smith, I
thought he was a dirty cur."
"You're a fine specimen of the human
race," said Judge Hogue. "You are about
as fresh as any person I have ever seen
now, and what would you be, If you pos
sessed both of your arms? Your fine Is
510."
Fletcher went to Jail to serve out the
time.
A squad of policemen were detailed yes
terday to escort Charles Wright through
Chinatown. He Is a Chinese gin fiend,
and has been arrested 2245 times, more or
less, for being drunk. When arraigned
before trudge Hogue yesterday, he asked
to be permitted to leave town.
How are you going to get out of town,
when you can't pass a Chinese glnshop?"
asked Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald.
"I'll get out all right. If you give me
the chance," answered Wright.
"Well, "Tour Honor." said Mr. Fitz
gerald, If you see nt to let tnis man
go, it will be necessary to have a squad
of policemen to escort him through
Chinatown, to see that he does not "stop
at the first glnshlp he comes to."
"Let the squad go, then," said Judge
Hogue, "for I'm determined to try It and
see if Wright will leave Portland."

OF F;!NE HABITS IN FOOTGEAR
A candle-light search will prove to you
that If it were possible to build a
better Men's Shoe for $3.50 than
the " PACKARD " its name would
still be " PACKARD."
That has been the ruling "Packard" policy. And
that Is what has made the "Packard" of today the
standard by which others are judged.
Not In one point alone is the "Packard" superior,
but In all points. In style, it walks six months
ahead of all others; In material there could be noth
ing better: In fit, the same as the kind made by
swell custom shoemakers, and at a price that shows
nothing Is charged for the "swell , in workman
ship, finished as polished brass. Consequently, the
"Packard" not only looks best, fits best, but also
wears best.

will wear.

Chief Hunt. "I Informed him that Its

he assured me that, although it will mean
a large expense and much work to cut
down the billboards. It will be done. I do
not anticipate any trouble over the mat

trolmen have reported many violations,
and I shall see to It that the ordinance is
enforced."
