CLOSED DRIVEWAY -CAUSE
Two Department Heads Take Oppo
site Views of the Case, but
Prompt Adjustment Fol
lows Hot Scrimmage.
What came very near to being a
pitched battle took place Wednesday
morning: at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition grounds as the result of a clash
of authority between John Wakefield;
director of admissions and concessions,
and Oskar Huber, director of -works. As
It was, a lively tight occurred with
gatemen and teamsters on one side and
two members of the Centennial Guard
on the other. Whips and lists were used
freely and some gore was shed, but not
o any serious cxtenL
Not until yesterday morning was the
difficulty adjusted, when the matter
was laid before President Goode, who
iecideJ that Mr. Huber had been act
ing within his rights while Wakefield
had been passing over his. There were
some warm words between the two di
rectors, but all feeling was done away
with when the difficulty was adjusted.
The closing down of tne Twenty-ighth-street
entrance Thursday morn
'ng gave rise to the trouble. Mr. Huber
was making some necessary improve
ments on roads inside the Fair grounds
and in order that his workmen might
lot have their work hindered he gave
orders that the entrance in question
be closed to heavy teams. Two militia
men were accordingly posted at the
sntrance to enforce the order. Team
sters with supplies and materials for
he Trail made complaint to the ad
missions director tjiat their passage
had been barred. He at once sent di--ections
to his gatekeeper to allow
fhc teamsters to pass. The gates were
iccordingly swung open and in the
eamsters drove. The soldiers at once
isked for Instructions and were told
o enforce the order they had been
Slvcn when stationed at the gate. But
he gateman paid no heed to them and
igain they asked for Instructions. This
'ime they wer? told to hold the gate
it all hazards.
Tnen trouble commenced to brew.
ben another teamster drove up the
gatekeeper disregarded the warnings
)i the soldiers and forced the gate
jpen. One of the guards closed with
him and knocked him down. Several
carpenters rushed to the scene and a
lively scrimmage of several minutes'
duration followed. The soldiers, being
outnumbered, had to give Jn and the
teamster drove past wielding his heavy
whip as he did so across the form of
one of the militiamen in lusty fashion.
Reports from militiamen and gate
Tceeper went forthwith to their respec
tive chiefsand then came a vocal bom
bardment In whicn considerable sci--cnb
was displayed on both sides.
It has all been adjusted, however,
and tranquility once more reigns su
preme in the balmy zephyrs of the Ex
position grounds.
Congressional Party Coming.
The delegation sent out for the open

MAKE HOME A PLAYHOUSE
Ella P. Rcid Gives Paper at Home
Training Meeting.
"Guiding a Child In Companionship" was
the title of a paper by Ella P. Rcld. read
yesterday -at a. meeting of the Home
Training Association.- "Parental author
ity should not bo exercised without due
Tegard to the rights of the , little one,"
said the speaker, in part. "Parent and
child should be chums, going hand and
band through the years, friends always,
devoted the one to the other. The phys
ical sports of the child should be shared
as far as possible by the parent. We all
know that a child learns first from object
lessons. The parent cannot yield fruits
such as come from an acrid nature, re
pliant to the tender sensibilities of the
little one. unwarmed by the sun of sym
pathy, and expect the opposite from the
child. I would make my home a play
house 'Tor the children. In order to know
what a child lacks. I would go back to
my period In my own life, and remem
ber as nearly as I could wherein my
parents failed or succeeded in supplying
my needs. I would perfect myself as
nearly as possible, and by thus knowing
and controlling myself, and by thus leant'
Ing the child's needs, be able to be a
proper companion for him. I would first
tcacb bv example, then later by precept.
The child's character is cultivated in the
degree to which there Is an atmosphere
of culturo In the home. Of all things I
would eliminate the word 'don't from the
family vocabulary. I would emphasize
the word do. In order to be able to teach
children In companionship, we must be
one of them."

ORGAN ILL PEAL
TONES OF FOREST
It Will Be Installed in the For
' estry Building at the
Exposition.
ACOUSTICSARE PERFECT
"World's Great Masters of Music Will
Be Interpreted by Skilled Or
ganists Every Day During
the Exposition.
The already world-famed Forestry
building is to have the one thing to
give Its immensity and somberness full
effect an organ. High up In the gal
lery, above the clatter of feet and rum
ble of conversation, every afternoon
during the Fair Impromptu concerts
will be played, and when the pipes
blast forth cathedral music among the
huge rafters the crowd will stand with
out shuffling and listen. Thousands
and thousands of people will be in
Portland this Summer who have never
beard the moan of the forest, and here
they will get that as the world's mas
ters have interpreted.
The Idea of placing the organ there
occurred to Director of Exhibits Dosch
one day when, in speaking of the For
estry building, he called It the "Oregon
Cathedral." To obtain the organ was
tbe next thought, and that was ar
ranged through Mr. Gilbert, of the Al
len & Gilbert-Ramaker Company, who
not only agreed to furnish a pipe-organ,
but organists for every day during
the time of the Fair.
A careful test of the acoustic prop
erties of the Forestry building has
been made, and the effect has proved
to be perfect. The tones of the organ
will rumble and roar hi the great
beams and columns until the listener
will wonder whether he Is In a "Gothic
cathedral set down in a Druidlc forest.
Of the many distinctive features of
the Portland Fair it Is believed that
more than a few will remember this
one most. No one ever failed to be
impressed with the .somberness of the
Oregon fir forest, with its immense
trunks and high-waving branches, and
about the base of the trees a stillness
of night at noon. Something of the
majesty of the Oregon forest will bo
conveyed to the FafF visitors when -the
organ moans in the Forestry building.
REVOKE ORPHEUM LICENSE
Council Revises Place Permission to
Sell Intoxicants.
The proprietors of the Orpheum The
ater were officially Informed yesterday
afternoon of the City Council's action
in revoking their license to sell spiritu
ous liquor, but. if indications count for
anything. It is highly probable they
will fight the matter to the bitter end,
as there appears to be some question
relative to the legality of proceedings
in canceling the license.
After the first vote taken by the
Council, upon a motion to revoke both
liquor licenses of the establishment
and refund the proprietors the amount
of the unexpired portion, the point of
order was raised that a motion of this
character, based upon a proposition to
refund money, could only be enter
talned by & two-thirds vote of the
members present, or by ordinance, and
Mayor "Williams held that the 'point of
order was well taken. Thereupon Mr.
Sharkey moved to adjourn, but It was
voted down. 5 to 4, Rumelin being ab
sent, and Flegel offered a second mo
tion that the liquor license of the
place be revoked without any refer
ence to the return of money, and it
.was carried, accordingly. .
During the debate upon the propo
sition It was freely slated that these
behind the effert te reveke the II cease
ef the Orphevn were not acting la
gee faith, asd that It was srly as
"THEY'RE INDORSING ME IN THERE."
attempt to close up the establishment
In order that somebody else might get
the benefit of the lease, the supposition
being that Iarry Sullivan was the per
son referred to. At any rate. Council
man Merrill stated In open session that
such was the case, but others insinu
ate that Merrill adopted this move at
the particular time to counteract the
effect of the crusade against the place,
every vote being an Important factor.
Simons, one of the proprietors of the
place, declined to make any statement
last night relative to future steps in
the matter, but admitted that he was
very much surprised a the action of
the Council. When asked if he regard
ed the move as an attempt, to get .the
lease away from him, he replied that
since coming to Portland lie has been
unfairly treated In many respects, but
bad always endeavored to do what was
right, and if the city authorities
wished- to close his place, he would
simply have to bow to the law. He did
not feel, however. In a position to ex
press any opinion at present relative
to the motives that inspired the revo
cation of the license.
PORTLAND MAY NOW ENTER
Extension of Time for Bids for Pan
ama Canal Is Granted.
Portland lumber firms will be given an
opportunity to bid on the pending con
tracts for furnishing the Government with
the 26.000.000 feet of lumber now needed
In the construction work on the Panama
Canal. The time has been extended from
May 16 to May 26 and yesterday three
sets of blank bids were sent to the Port
land Chamber of Commerce for the con
sideration of the Portland firms which
might desire to enter the contest.

qualified to become contestants for the
sale of the supplies needed. These are
the Pacific Export Lumber Company, In
man Poulsen & Co.. tho North Pacific
Lumber Company, the Portland Lumber
Company and the Eastern & western
Lumber Company.
This change in the announced intention
of the purchasing department of the
Canal Commission has been brought about
by the united protests of the commercial
bodies of the Coast working with the
membcra of Congress and other prominent
public men. all of whom united In asKing
Major Gallagher, the purchasing agent,
to delay the date of the bids for such a
length of time as would allow the Pacific
Co apt firms to compete with the rest of
the business world for the contracts.

man on the first and second night re
liefs. As the date for the opening of the
Exposition aproaches It Is the Inten
tion of Chief Hunt to assign addition
al policemen to the district, as he Is
determined to keep order there. In
this he Is heartily supported by Mayor
Williams, who strongly favors strict
watching of the dives surrounding
the entrance to the Fair.
Flagrant Insults offered to women
and to pupils from Chapman School
led to the placing by Chief Hunt of
extra police strength. Mayor "Wil
liams and Chief Hunt talked over the
matter, and It was quickly decided
that ample protection shall be afford
ed residents and all who have occa
sion to pass by the saloons now in ac
tive operation near tho Exposition en
trance. A storm of protests reached Chief
Hunt's office. From all portions of
tho Fair district came petitions for
something to be done to keep down
rowdyism. Parents called In person
to talk over the situation with Chief
Hunt, and frequent telephone calls
came in.
It was quickly demonstrated that a
most unusual state of affairs oxistcd
In the immediate vicinity of the nu
merous dives already opened for bus
iness, under licenses granted by the
Council committee, as not even wo
men and pupils from Chapman School
were free from repeated Insults on
the part of loafers hanging about.
To keep down rowdyism and main
tain order. Chief Hunt made the spe
cial detail of a sergeant and patrol
men. WhIle the sergeant and his squad
have been on the grounds rhey have
not seen any acts that constitute
grounds for arrest," said Chief Hunt
yesterday. They are keeping close
watch, especially at the hours when
school children are passing near the
saloons.
"Sergeant Slover reports that so far
as he and his men have been able to
see everything Is as orderly out there
as any saloon can be made. I have
given oraers to him and to the cap
tains of police to preserve order in
that vicinity at all times, even should
It be necessary to detail additional
patrolmen there.
"I am determined to have order
there, and upon this the public may
depend. The saloons are all licensed
now and In operation, but the police
will see to it that not one of them
violates the law. and that women and
children, especially, are protected
from insults."

been coming across the' country from
Omaha with its own power has come

mechanism of tbe gasoline engine,
which disabled it and forced the crew
to attach the car behind the passenger
train and have it tewed into La

LAST RITES FOR EDUCATOR
Mrs. C. L.' Hoover, Prominent Port
land Teacher, Is Buried.
The funeral of Mrs. Orianna Hoover,
well-known Portland teacher, and wife of
Professor C. L. Hoover, took place yes
terday afternoon from Dunhing's under
taking chapel. East Sixth street, in
charge of Rose City Chapter, U. D. O. E.
S.. assisted by Martha "Washington
Chapter. Teachers from most of the pub
lic schools were present, together with
Principals J. T. Gregg. B. F. Burnham.
T. J. Hadlcy and Professor Jarvls. Also
among those present were members of
the first graduating class of the East
Portland High School, who attended
while Mrs. Hoover was! teacher, the "Wa
ter Color Club and a whist club. The
casket was decorated and banked with a
great profusion of roses from many
sources.
Professor It. F. Robinson, County
School Superintendent and formerly prin
cipal of Central School, where Mrs.
Hoover taught for 11 years, delivered the
funeral address. He first gave a short
biographical sketch of Mrs. Hoover, say
ing mat she was born near Cleveland, O.,
July 13, 1S6S, where she was educated as
a teacher. Arriving in Portland, she be
came a teacher in the East Portland
High School and afterwards a grade
teacher, remaining in the Central School
building U years. At Mount Tabor she
put in abotit two years. Professor Rob
inson said he considered himself able

thorough understanding of It. He said
she was thoroughly devoted to her work
in the classroom and sought to instill
right principles In her pupils, in her
home and private life Professor Robin

ing her illness by her husband.
Following came the beautiful ritualistic
ceremonies of the Order of the. Eastern

THE SIDE
That Is Not Considered.
The larger portion of the business of
life Insurance In America is .transacted by
three Companies, The Mutual Life, The
New Tork Life, and The Equitable Life
Assurance Society. Here Is the result of
their stewardship from the date of their
commencing business up to January 1.
1905, taken from the official reports of
these Institutions, and verified by the
State departments to which these reports
are made:
Total paid policy-holders by the
three companies $1,597,S9S,293
Held for future payments 1,250,975,491
Total benefit to pollcy-holders.$2.S4S,S74.790
The policy-holders have paid... 2,72S;2o3,76S
Accumulated for the benefit of
policy-holders, over and above
the money received from
them $ 123.619.022
It will be seen by the above figures that
these Companies have returned to the
policy-holders, or hold "in trust for them,
every dollar that the insured have paid
in premiums, and $123,619,000 in addition
which they have accumulated for the
benefit of the policy-holders. No other
business In the world can equal this
record.
These institutions are built to endure.
No man lives and no Institution was ever
created beyond criticism. A great many
people are of the opinion. that even the
Creator might have displayed greater in
telligence In His work, and proceed to
criticise it. but there never will be a safer
or more satisfactory method of providing
protection for the family than these life
insurance companies afford.
Six Hundred Japanese In County.
The Japanese, whom County Assessor
Sigier appointed recently for the purpose
of taking the census or nis countrymen.
completed his work yesterday so far a
the City of Portland Is concerned. Hte
returns show that there are 461 Japanese
within the boundaries of the district oc
cupied exclusively by them. It Is ex
pected that house servants in the resi
dence portions of the city, and those liv
ing outside the municipality, will swell
the list to fully SCO In Multnomah County.

SUES FOR DIAMONDS
Aimee Austin, Circus Queen.
Asks Return or Cash.
DIFFERENCE IN ESTIMATES
Plaintiff Alleges They Are "Worth
Large Sum, "While Man to Whom
They AVcre Pledged Says
They Were Inferior.
Aimee Austin, a circus queen, who can
walk on a ceiling and perform other won
derful feats, appeared before Judge
George and a jury yesterday In an effort
to recover a pair of diamond earrings and
a horseshoe pin from Oscar Vanderbilt
In lieu of the diamonds. Miss Auatln de
mands their value. $200.
The testimony given by Miss Austin,
who In professional circles Is known as
the "human fly." was that in Los Angeles
in October, 1S02. she was stranded, and
asked Vanderbilt. with whom she was
acquainted, to obtain $230 for her by
pledging her diamonds. He gave hr $130
which he advanced himself, and after
wards additional amounts making up
5200 altogether. She said she protested
at not getting $250. but Vanderbilt took
her to dinner and they had a royal time
and she said no more about it.
Vanderbilt was the secretary and treas
urer of the National Printing Company,
of- Chicago, and soon returned there. In
July, 1903, Miss Austin stated she called
at Vanderbllt's office in Chicago, and he
told her he could get $150 for the dia
monds, and she answered "No. If you
need your money send to the Mechanics'
Bank, Brooklyn, N. T., and I will see
that it is paid."
Vanderbilt did not do so, but instead
sold the earrings and pin in September.
1903, to A. McPhail. a theatrical agent,
for $255. In the month of February fol
lowing Vanderbilt, through his attorneys
In Chicago, notified Miss Austin of the
sale and tendered her the balance, $53.
charging no interest on the $200 loan. This
sum Is still tendered. Miss Austin de
clined to accept. She says the earrings
cost her $500 and the horseshoe pin $2S3
13 years ago, and that they are worth
$1200 now because diamonds have ad
vanced In price. The earrings are said
to contain two stones of three carats
each. A. Feldenheimer. a local jeweler,
testified that perfect gems are now worth
$225 to $250 a carat.
Vanderbilt contends that he let Miss
Austin have $200 because she was sick,
and after waiting a long time disposed
of the security as he had a perfect right
o do. The diamonds, he said, were large
flashy circus diamonds of the South
American variety, off color, and not
worth any more than he sold them for.
A deposition by Robert B. Stanley, a dia
mond expert who saw the diamonds and
valued them at about $250, was offered In
evidence In behalf of Vanderbilt.
Ho said Fred T. Merrill wrote letters
to him in behalf of Miss Austin. The
trial will be resumed this morning. Miss
Austin is an attractive woman, and mado
a. good witness. She is well known to the
Portland public, having appeared here
with several different shows.
MANY FREIGHT CHANGES
ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE BY
TRANSCONTINENTAL BUREAU.
Action Will Affect Hop-Growers in
Purchase of Machinery Ship
ment of Frnit Boxes.
H. M. Adams, assistant general freight
agent of the O. R. & N., has returned
from Chicago, where he went to attend
the meeting of the transcontinental
freight bureau which was held in that
city from May 4 to 12.
Many questions affecting the freight
business of the Northwest were discussed,
and many changes were made in the tar
iffs now current, some of which will have
a noticeable effect on the business In
terests of the section.
Among the changes made was a $1.25
rate, minimum of 24,000 pounds to the car,
for hop presses from the East to Port
land. This change In rate is made to
benefit the hopralsers of the state,, who
are about to ship new machinery, owing
to the increased output of hops for the
coming year.
A new rate of $1 a hundred, minimum
of 24.000 pounds to the car. was authorized
on berry or fruit boxes or baskets made
on the Northwest coat and shipped from
Pacific Coast terminal points to Eastern
territory of the transcontinental lines. "
A rate of $1.23 a hundred on less than
carload lots was made to cover the ship
ment of scrap Unhand packages from
Pacific Coast terminals and intermediate
points to Eastern points. This rate is In
tended to take care of the large amount
of refuse tin left by the canneries along
the lower Columbia and other points on
the Coast.
The rate now In effect on bras3 goods
was extended to apply to all nlkel-platcd
brass goods, which will make a great
difference in the shipment of plumbing
supplies from the East.
The minimum carload on fire brick
shipped from the East was reduced from
60.Ct to 40,000 pounds.
A. rate of S3 cents on carload lots, and
$1.35 on less than carload lots, was made
on broom .and mop handles shipped with
out metal attachments.
A rate of 73 cents on carloads and $1.M
on less than carloads was made for the
shipment of. magnesia cement roofing in
packages, to be effective from all points
East to Pacific Coast terminals.
The rate on electrical machinery and
appliances shipped in mixed carloads was
reduced from $1.75 to $1.60 per hundred
pounds. This was done in view of the
large increase in the shipment of elec
trical goods during the past year.
The agents have been authorized to pub
lish all of the rates named, though it has
not been decided as yet when they will
become effective. That will be decided at
a later date and announced to the ship
pers by circular.

When a "Hercules" boy is out
on pleasure bent and the clouds
commence to gather black and
drizzle rain, does his mother
worry about his getting wet to
the skin? Never; she has no
occasion to; she knows that he
will stay out in the rain, that's
boy nature, but she knows, too,
that he is wearing a 'Hercules'
shower-proof suit.
Our claim that a "Hercules'
boys' suit is shower-proof isn't
an advertising dodge; it is a fact.
If a manufacturer can waterproof
cloth and cut it up into rain-coats,
that usage proves shower-proof, why
can't we do the same thing and cut
up the cloth in Boys Suits? That's
just what we do. The- cloth we use
In Boys' "Hercules" suits is put
through the rain-coat shower-proof
process before we make it up; then
why isn't a "Hercules" Boys' Suit
a rain coat" loo?
In fact a "Hercules" suit Is mors
thoroughly shewer-proof than most
rain-coats, especially the cheaper
kind; the 'cloth is better quality,
closer woven and ALL WOOL.
"Hercules" are madein two-piece, .
knee-pahts suits for Boys from 6
to 1 6 and your boy will get more
wear out of a "Hercules" ihatt
any suit for which you Pay half
as muck again for.
Your dealer's name and "Hercules' '
book If you ask.
