The regulars, the Exposition Guards and
the bluejackets, defenders of their coun
try's honor and Integrity of this modern
age, bared their heads yesterday after
noon at the -Fair when the battle-scarred
veterans of the Civil "War flocked through
the gates after the reunion at the Armory
It first began -with a few patriotic soldiers
who raised their caps upon the appear
ance of a veteran. It spread like conta
gion, and all during the afternoon the sol
diers and the sailors could be seen bar
ing their heads to the members of the
G. A. R.
Many a tear glistened In the eyes of the
old men when they saw the younger gen
eration of the boys in blue with caps aloft.
Borne of the veterans were so affected
that they could hardly keep from break
ing Into tears. The majority of them In
flated upon grasping and shaking the
hands of the soldiers and bluejackets. It
was not an Infrequent sight to see a group
of the veterans and soldiers, the old tell
ing of the great battles they had survived
In the Civil War. When the old men had
finished their narratives, the younger men
would tell of their experiences In the
Spanish-American War.
The old soldiers were particularly Inter
ested In the Government exhibit at the
Exposition, and spent hours examining
and Inspecting the various features and
displays. They also took In the Trail,
where they were royally entertained, most
of the .concessions Instituting a special
rate for the veterans.
The old soldiers were given a reception
in the Washington building by the host
esses, Mrs. H. L. Mead, of Centralla, and
Mrs. W. M. I'rquhart. of Chehalls. and
their assistants. Several hundred old vet
erans, with their wives and children, were
entertained. Punch and wafers were
served as refreshments. C. D. Spencer, of
Centralla, gave an exceedingly interesting
account of his experiences In the Civil
War.
The visitors to the Washington building
yesterday were presented with souvenir
Sags, which were distributed by the hun
dreds. The building nnd parlors were
beautifully decorated in honor of the
members of the G. A. R. Flags and bunt
ing literally covered the ceilings and walls.
There was also a lavish display of flowers
and evergreens.
Yesterday was also "Chehalls Rose" day
at the Washington building. Over 2000
roses had been expressed from Chehalls,
and these were all given away. Today
Chehalls souvenirs will be presented to
callers at the building. The Centralla
hostesses will present souvenir cards to
visitors. There has been a musical pro
gramme at the Washington building every
day this week. Miss Kate Martaln and
Miss Laura Taylor, assistant hostesses
from Centralla, are talented musicians
and have assisted In the entertainments.
Will Establish California Bureaus.
Information bureaus are to be estab
lished Immediately by the Lewis and Clark
Exposition management at Un Francisco
ij
and Los Angeles. Another is being
planned for Seattle.
Henry E. Reed, as director of exploita
tion, has decided upon this course, owing
to the general demand for Information
regarding the Fair at the points In ques
tion. The bureaus will undoubtedly reach
thousands of Coast visitors. Colin H. Mc
Isaac, chief of the excursions bureau, left
last night for California to establish the
two bureaus. The one at Los Angeles will
be in charge of F. L. Duchesne, who has
been connected with the Exposition press
bureau for the past six months. The San
Francisco office will be conducted, by J.
G. Carrell. Large quantities of printed
matter' bearing on Oregon and the Exposi
tion will be consigned to the bureaus at
once.
Trip for Press Associations.
Arrangements are fully completed for
the entertainment of the California Press
Association and of the Utah Press Asso
ciation by the Portland: Board of Trade.
Today they will be given an excursion on
the Columbia River. The steamer Undine
has been chartered, and will leave the
foot of 'Taylor street at 7:30 o'clock this
morning.
The trip will extend Into the gorge of
the Columbia, the terminus being at Col
lins Hot Springs, where dinner will be
served.
The steamer will be tastefully decorated
and everything will be arranged for the
comfort of the guests. Some Impromptu

EXPOSITION ATTENDANCE, 15.673.
The attendance at the Exposition
yesterday numbered 13.673. Today
will be Seattle day. and a large crowd
is expected to be en the sreunds.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition belongs
to Seattle today, as the citizens of Port
land have only too willingly relinquished
their rights of possession In favor of the
thousands of eager and enthusiastic ex
cursionists from Puget Sound, who have
been pouring Into the city In hordes to
celebrate "Seattle" day. The whole of the
Exposition and the whole of the City of
Portland have been turned over lo the vls-
ThisQuestion Will Be Completely Answered in the Sunday Oregonian.
At this time, when one of the most absorbing questions before the country Is that of a larger Navy, and every
body has been asking his neighbor, since Togo's great victory. "What could our own Navy do If?", no' 'article
could be more timely than one to be published In The Sunday Orcgonlan tomorrow.
It gives a complete answer to the query now on the tongue of all good Americans; It tells Just what our own
Navy Is; how It has quadrupled within the last seven years; what ships are now building; the enormous number
of big guns we shall soon possess on our floating fortresses; and much more Information along the same line
that the majority of us are ignorant of and will be surprised to loam. No article written within recent years about
the Navy gives such a clear Idea of what our Navy really Is as to ship?, guns, personnel, and that most Import
ant feature of a good navy marksmanship.
Watch for It in The Sunday Oregonian, Tomorrow
Itors from Seattle, who have left their
homes to Join hands with their neighbors
of Oregon to honor the two famed ex
plorers, Lewis and Clark.
It Is Just the same as though the Expo
sition stood on Seattle soil, as Seattle will
dominate everything at the Fair today.
For weeks the citizens of Seattle have
been awaiting with the utmost antici
pation the day that they could attend the
Exposition In a body to present to the
world an example of the Seattle spirit,
which lias become a part of the growing
and progressive city. Mayor R. A. Ballln
ger Issued several proclamations to the
residents of Seattle, urging them lo at
tend. If possible, the Lewis and Clark Ex
position on the day set aside for their en
tertainment and enjoyment.
Heavy Attendance Assured.
As a result the attendance from Seattle
Is great, and far exceeds the expectations
of those who Interested themselves In
bringing a large representation to Port
land. It has been estimated that there
are full) 4000 Seattle visitors In Portland,
but others place the figure slightly below.
There arrived In Portland yesterday af
ternoon two special trains which con
tained at the lowest estimate ISO) visitor?.
For days the travel from Seattle to Port
land has been unusually heavy. Yester
day the trains leading from Seattle to
Portland were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, and all along the line extra
coaches had to be added.
Mayor Balllnger said last night that the
citizens of Seattle were taking as roueh
interest In the Exposition as the Portland
residents. He said they were "boosting"
the Fair In the same spirit as they
"boost" their own city. Mayor Balllnger
has been a stanch friend of the Exposition
from tho very start, and the large repre
sentation In Portland from Seattle Is
partly due to his own efforts. Besides
Mayor Balllnger. the Seattle contingent
contains many of the most prominent pub
lic men and citizens of the State of Wash
ington. Exercises for Seattle Day.
The exercises for 'Seattle" day will be
held In the Washington building at 2
o'clock this afternoon. The upper story of
the structure has been reserved for the
ceremonies. President H. W. Goode will
deliver the first address, welcoming the
visitors from Seattle to the Exposition on
behalf of the corporation. Mayor Will
iams will extend greetings to them In the
Interest of the City of Portland. Mayor
Balllnger will deliver the responding ad
dress. The other speakers will be:

of Commerce. Music will be furnished by

St. Louis Commission to Report.
Senator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana,
arrived in Portland yesterday by Invita
tion of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Commission to assist In completing the
commission's final report to tho President
on its stewardship of the $3,000,000 appro
priated to the use of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition Company under certain
conditions, among which was that the
Government's commissioners should share
responsibility In making the ' awards.
There was a disagreement between the
Exposition Company and the commission
as to the meaning of this clause, and a
breach of relationship resulted, which
has never been healed. Although awards
were made, certificates were issued upon
which the names of the Government com
missioners did not appear. The Incident
Is only now being closed officially by
the commission by submission of a re
port to the President and Congress.

HOLDS SESSION
OF DISORDER
Good Roads Convention Seems
Like "a Veritable
Pandemonium.
STRUGGLE FOR ELECTION
Richardson Is Declared President,
"bnt Afterwards the Whole Dis
pute Is Referred to a Com
mittee to Report Today.
For three- bourn pandemonium reigned
in the Exposition auditorium yesterday
afternoon, when Col. R. W. Richardson
claimed that he had been elected presi
dent of the National Good Roads Associ
ation, and President W. H. Moore con
tended that he had not. So stormy grew
the Interlude that the delegates finally
elected Judge John H. Scott, of Salem,
chairman of the convention, and gave
him power to appoint a committee to
settle the matter.
Several times during the proceedings,
the debates grew so hot that the dele
gates almost came to blbws, and the re
tort courteous rapidly transformed Itself
Into the He direct. The principal con
tention was over the meaning of the con-
sUtutlon. 'a document that proved Itself
to be so weak and meaningless that the
newly appolntctd committee was given
full power to draw up an organic law
that would be of some value to the asso
ciation. The Trouble Resin.
Matters In the convention ran smoothly
enough during the morning session,
though early In the afternoon the Moore
and Richardson forces prepared for ac
tion, which came about 3 o'clock.
Trouble began with a motion to appoint
a committee of tellers to hold an election.
This motion aroused great opposition
from the Moore sympathizers, and when
It was- put to a vote. President Moore
declared that It had failed of passage.
The Richardson people called for a rising
vote, but this was refused.
Then the fun commenced In earnest.
"The by-laws provide for an elecUon."
shouted James W. Abbott, an ardent ad
herent to the Richardson party. "I guess
I know; I helped draw them up."
"The gentleman la stating an untruth:
he had nothing to do with It," retorted
President Moore, and he smote the table
with his gavel.
Refers to By-Laws.
The by-laws were referred to, and It
was discovered that the election should
be held at "the general annual meeting,"
and that the "president and executive
committee shall determine the time and
place of the general annual meeting."
This fact settled, the convention proceed
ed to more disorder.
A corpulent gentleman with mutton
chop whiskers shouted at the chair,
which refused- to recognize him.
"Does the president wish us to believe
that he Is the Czar of Russia?" he de
manded, but the chair had Its hands full
somewhere else.
Delegate Robinson of Utah expressed
belief that It would be unfair to hold an
election, when so many states Interested
In the movement were unrepresented.
"Oregon has some 175 delegates out of
200. and It wouldn't be treating the East
ern States right to elect officers with
so many local people here," argued Mr.
Robinson.
In Great Disorder.
Mr. Robinson's further remarks were
lost In a storm that broke out somewhere
else. The chair ruled someone else out
of order for making a noise.
"Fair play." chortled G. Y. Harry.
Judge Frank Williams, of Southern
Oregon, made another motion for an
AT TMZ AKJfOKT.
election, but the noise was too great for
anybody to think, and as the chair did
not seem to be interested. C. I. Whit
ney began to circulate ballots, which he
afterward collected again in his brown
felt Stetson, aided by a near-sighted gen
tleman who gathered up the -papers In a
black hat. .
It was apparent by this time that the
little group gathered around the table at
the west end of the platform meant busi
ness for Richardson. J. H. Alber. of
Salem, announced that an election was
being held, and that delegates might voto
In Mr. Whitney's hat.
The St. Louis call.
Mr. Moore stated that no official noti
fication that an election would be held
had been sent out in the call for the
Portland convention, and that It would
be unfair to hold an election at the pres
ent time. As the chair was removing
some perspiration, a delegate produced a
call for the convention at St. Louis last
year, which contained no announcement
that an election would be held In the
Missouri metropolis, and yet an election
was held In that place.
At this discovery James E. W. Abbott,
who has his eye on the secretary's ofilce.
which Mr. Richardson now holds, al
lowed his joy to become unconfined. and
he bounded from his frail seat like the
small boy that sits on tho thumb tack.
Hon, Martin Dodge, head of the ottice
of Public Road Inquiries, took the floor,
and endeavored to point out that this
wax not the fifth annual convention, as
stated on a large banner that hung above
the stage, and that the election should
be held In November, because that was
the month In which' the organization was
started, and annual meetings should be
held then. The banner seemed to bother
General Dodge a good deal, for after he
finished speaking, he got out In front
and Inspected the canvas at considerable
length.
Declare Richardson Elected.
By the time General Dodge finished
looking1 at the banner, the committee
at the Richardson table had completed
its labors, and Mr. Whitney read the
following results in a loud voice:
"Richardson, 69; Moore, 5; Scott, 1,
and Blank 1. Mr. Richardson is elec
ted president." and Mr. Whitney con
gratulated the newly made officer.
Colonel Richardson took his place
beside Mr. Moore at the presiding tabic
and there was a great hubbub. Mr.
Moore pounded the table with his gavel,
while Colonel Richardson smiled
broadly at his opponent, and gently
caressed a vitrified pavihg brick that
reposed in his hand.
Several delegates tried to talk all at
once, but Colonel Richardson made his
.speech of acceptance first. ' His words
were sweet as honey from the comb,
nnJ when he finished Mr. Moore rapped
for order.
The row would have lasted all night
had not Judge Scott, of Salem, pro
posed a committee which should settle
the feud. His plan was elaborated by
Samuel Hill, of Seattle, who poured ad
ditional oil on the ruffled waters.
Mr. Moore moved, that as the consti
tution was very weak for such a large
organization, and was In reality worth
less, tnat the two contesting presidents
withdraw for the present, allowing
Judge Scott to take the chair. This
was done, nnd then the convention
voted to refer the present constitution
to a committee consisting of a repre
sentative from every state. This com
mittee met last evening and drew up
an Improved constitution which will
be referred to the meeting which will
be held In the Auditorium this morn
ing. Will Stimulate Night Attendance.
An official bulletin was issued by the
concessions department yesterday stating
that, the night attendance at the Ex
position had not been as heavy as had
been expected, although the attendance
In the day time had measured up to every
expectation. In order to bring more peo
ple at night It has been decided to In
stall the new coupon admission ticket
on Monday evening to continue until fur
ther notice. This coupon ticket entitles
the purchaser of every ticket to the Fair
to a 50 per cent rebate In the form of an
order on any concession on the grounds.
This inducement will be in effect between
the hours of 6 and 11 P. M. This rebate
coupon will be accepted In payment for
anything found on sale or for admission
to any amusement feature. It Is be
lieved the new arrangement will have the
effect of stimulating to a large extent
the attendance by night.
Commutation Tickets for Fair.
Commutation tickets to the Exposition
are to again be placed on the market.
Instructions were received yesterday by
the admissions department from Presi
dent Goode and the executive committee
to provide a number of photographic
commutation books containing 25 tickets.
The price of these books will be $7.50, or
30 cents ' for each ticket. This action
Is the result of many requests for small
commutation books and promises to be
even more popular than the larger books,
which will also be on sale. Of these, a
charge of J 12. 50. or 25 cents apiece, will
be made for TA-tat hooks, and $20, or
15 cents per ticket, will be charged for
the 137-tIcket books.
Arrangements have been made to placv
the new series of books -on sale tomor

Mrs. C. B. Junker Beats Young
Man Who, She Says,
Insulted Her.
JOHN W. HARRIS VICTIM
His Assailant Declares That She Be
friended Him, Then He Left
Without Paying Board Bill,
and Insulted Her.
After an exciting chase of several
blocks through crowded streets and in
the presence of hundreds of spectators.
Mrs. C. B. Junker. 540 Lake street, last
night about 9:30 o'clock In front of the
Main entrance te the Exposition grounds,
publicly horsewhipped John W. Harris,
a young man recently from St- Louis,
who. It Is alleged, had Insulted his as
sailant. Harris In trying to escape from
his pursuer ran against a telegraph post,
and before he could regain his balance, -Mrs.
Junker was by his aide raining blow
after blow upon his head with a heavy
stick. An officer stopped the horse
whipping by putting them both under ar
rest. They were taken to the police sta
tion, but were afterwards released.
"You would Insult me after I had be
friended you and picked you up from
the streets," indignantly exclaimed Mrs.
Junker, as she attacked Harris. Harris
tried to escape, but he was surrounded
by a mass of men. who had been at
tracted to the scene, and Mrs. Junker
dealt him many severe blows on the head
and shoulders before an officer arrived.
Harris had a large club In his hand,
but although he raised It several times,
he did not strike his assailant.
Mrs. Junker is a little, frail woman,
while Harris is a large, husky man.
but although he tried again and again
to wrench the club from her hand, the
woman was too active, and every time
he made a rush toward her he was met
with a stinging blow, and several times
he was thus sent to his knees. Had not an
officer appeared on the scene early, Har
ris would have suffered a terrible beating,
as the crowd was plainly . In sympathy
with Mrs. Junker, and made no attempt
to Interfere.
Harris, it is alleged, owes Mrs. Junker
for board and room, and recently left her
house without paying her In full. Mrs.
Junker ' met him on Upshur street last
night and asked him when he was going
to settle for his board. His reply was
not satisfactory, and Mrs. Junker hit him
with the heavy stick that she picked up
from the sidewalk. Harris ran. closely
followed by Mrs. Junker, who was hit
ting him with the club. The street was
crowded with people, and, although Har
ris endeavored to elude his pursuer by
dodging behind poles, Mrs. Junker was
never more than a few feet behind him.
As they nearcd the Exposition gates Har
ris ran into a telegraph post, which en
abled Mrs. Junker to catch up with him.
To the police. Mrs. Junker stated that
she and her hsuband had met Harris on
their way from St. Louis to Portland sev
eral weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Junker
rented a house, and, as Harris was out
of money, they gave him a home. Mrs.
Junker says she even provided him with
tobacco and other incidentals. Harris
finally secured work, but, according to
Mrs. Junker, would not pay all he owed.
She says he used profane language to
wards' her when she asked for a settle
ment In full.
Mrs.' Junker stated that last night she
met and asked him regarding his board.
She said he refused to recognise her, and
said ungentlemanly -things to her. She
became angered, and. picking up a club,
attacked him. Harris says he does not
owe her any money, and that he Intends
to have her arrested for assault and bat
tery. Mrs. Junker says she will swear out
a warrant for his arrest for using pro
fane language. Mrs. Junker shows signs
of hard work, but nevertheless she is a
very pretty and attractive woman. Her
neighbors speak of her in the highest
terms. Her husband has been in Port
land In search of work. Harris showed
signs of the beating lost night when
taken to the police station. His hat was
crushed and red streaks on his face
showed where some of the blows had
landed.
Trail Opening Is Postponed.
The formal opening of the Trail, sched
uled for tomorrow evening, has been
postponed for one week. The postpone
ment was made In order to admit of elab
oration on the programme. The shows
on the Trail Intend to combine in making
the occasion one of moment.
