THE 3IOKTX(x OKEGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JTTLY 1, 1905. 11 111 El ANTHONY Leader of Equal Suffrage Warmly Greeted at the Exposition. 'MISS HARPER'S ADDRESS Strong Argument Is 3Iadc for the Enfranchisement of Women by Speaker Who Appeals to Oregon for Suffrage. The second day's session of the 37th "annual convention- of the National Wom en's Suffrage Association was marked by a series of ovations to the intellectual lights at the head of this organization and of signal triumphs attained through the many brilliant and profound addresses Xnade to the public by its members. The large audiences which have so far attend ed the sessions, the liberal percentage of men who listen attentively to the discus sions, and the prominent National organi zations throughout this country and Eu rope which send greetings and words of encouragement. mak Susan B. Anthony and her followers feel that it was only a question of a few . years until equal suf frage would bo theirs. C. E. S. "Wood stated bofore the convention last night that It was bound to come, and to come soon. Sampel Gompcrs, president of the National Federation of Labor, wired: "Kindly convey fraternal greetings and the earnest expression of our hope for the enfranchisement and disonthrallment of woman." Ovation to Miss Anthony. Added to this was an ovation to Susan B. Anthony such as no woman was over before accorded in Oregon. The reception given in the Oregon building in honor of the venerable leader, and the officers and delegates of the convention was more largely attended than any event which has been given since the opening of the Exposition, but "Aunt Susan," with her more than four-score years, stood in line and shook hands for an hour, declaring that it did not make her nearly so tired as it did 50 years ago, when no one came. Women and men crowded around hbr, each wanting a word and they got iL 'She is a wonderful woman," said her friend. Mrs. Gross, of Chicago. "The night she started west she received a thousand guests at a reception. traveled four days and nights without rest, and has been going at this rate ever since Bhe reached Oregon." Band Plays "Auld Lang Sync.' When the honored guest reached the Qregon building the Exposition Band struck up "Auld Lang Syne" and the crowd became so great that Mrs. Myers Aad difficulty in getting her into the par lor ith them in the receiving line were Dr. Anna H. Shaw, president; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. rice-president; Miss Kate Gordon, Miss Elizabeth Hauser. Bex Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Lucy Stono Blackwell,. Laura Clay, Dr. Cora Smith Eaton. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway. Mrs. Henry "Waldo Coe, Mrs. Catherine Coburn, and members of the Oregon Suffrage Association and othor local organizations. The first crowds had to pass out that others might come in. and the ladies who served for Mrs. Myers had difficulty in getting beyond the door of the refreshment-room. In view of the fact that it was women's day at the Exposition, the afternoon ses sion of the convention was held In Festi val Hall. Alice Stone Blackwell told of the pioneer struggles of the famous Blacks well sisters, her mother and aunts, in ob taining professional educations and prac tices. Their experiences seem almost un believable in these days of enlightenment and civilization. Mabel Craft Deerlng. a former newspaper woman of San Fran cisco, read a paper on "Co-Education." Charlotte Perkins GIlmans rendition of her own poems was thoroughly delightful. Greetings Prom Suffrage States. The greetings from the four suffrage states by Mrs. May Arkwrlght Hutton, of Idaho, was one of the features of the af ternoon. Mrs. Hutton graphically de scribed a scene in .her childhood when she sat on her grandfather's knee and lis tened to his conversation with their guest, William McKinley. then a young man, learning for the first time that women were denied rights enjoyed by men. "Mr. McKinley deplored the fact, and contend ed that woman was the Intellectual equal of man and should be his political equal," she said: "Patting my head, ho said: 'I believe when this lassie grows up that hers will be an enfranchised woman hood.' " Mrs. Walter Reed's solo last night gave especial pleasure to Miss Anthony and Dr. Shaw, as well as to the audience. Her tones seemed never so round and pure, and it seemed fitting on such an occasion that a woman should have so wonderful a gift of voice and use it for other women. Her encore, "Just a Wearyin for You," interpreted Frank Stanton's beautiful lines, and there were many tears surreptitiously brushed away at Its close. C. 13. S. Wood's Address. C. E. S. Wood delivered a character istic address in which he encouraged the suffragists by saying they would soon be disenfranchised, but added a liberal portion of cold water by wondering what they wanted with the ballot when they gtt it, saying, "You will only take your places on the chess-hoard to be moved In the game by the governing machine which you or any of us do not see." "Injustice of Majority Rule" was his topic. The report of Henry B. Blackwell, chairman of the presidential suffrage committee, waa heard in the morning, but the event of the day's session was the address of Ida Husted Harper, one of the best known women In the literary world of today, who told her audience why the women of the United States could not vote, and put the matter In a light which put doubting Thomases to think ing. Her argument was masterful and her points clearly cut. Every sentence carried weight with it and was remem bered. Facing the Situation. "Facing the Situation" was the topic of this address, and in it she said: "There are 42 strong reasons why women cannot vote in the United States. The first and greatest lies in the Na tional Conetltufion. the other 41 are fqund In the constitutions of the different states. In these revered documents one little word of four letters, 'male is all that stands between 36,to0,000 women and the suffrage. "The religious, the property, the educa tional and the color qualificationshave been swept away; but in the constitutions of all the states except four this word 'male still remains in the suffrage clause, absolutely prohibiting to all women a voice in the government. Such is the situation today in the country which poses before the world as the great est -and most perfect Republic that ever existed: which exults over all the na tions of the earth as the only land of crusl rights; which declares that its foundation, its corner-stone, the key stone of its arch, is individual representa tion. The irony of it. The injustice, the tyranny, the disgrace of it. Monarchies More Liberal. "In no monarchy is there such arbitrary discrimination against one-half the peo ple. There is not another country hav an elected representative body, where this body Itself may not extend the suf frage. Australia, by an act of Its Parlia ment, enfranchised R5O.O09 women. The Parliament or New Zealand, by a single act. conferred the suffrage on 150.000. The Parliament of Grent Britain has ab solute power to grant the franchise to its millions of women. This is true of all the legislative bodies on the Continent of Europe. But the Government of the United States, in Its overpowering de sire to vest all authority In the people themselves, has placed one-half of the people In complete and helpless subjection to the other half. Asks Oregon to Act. "How long shall that day be deferred In Orogon? Thore Is not an intolllgent man or woman in this- state who does not ad mit that the enfranchisement of women Is only a question of time, that this great body of citizens by far the most law abiding class In every community, quite as well educated as men, engaged in practically every kind of business, at least one-third of the whole number self- supporting, paying annually billions of dollars- In taxes, having every atake In the Government that men have by every principle of rearon. of logic, of equity, must eventually have a voice In public affairs. "For a while, at least, this must be gained state by state. Eastward the star of woman's empire takes its way. "She does not look for the star In the East, but for the star in the West. Her sun of political freedom rose not In the East but in the West. It is to the strong, courageous and progressive men of the Western States that the women of this whole country are looking for doliver ancc from the bondage of disfranchise ment. It is these men who must Mart this movement and glvo it such raomon tum that it will roll irresistibly on to the very shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Looks to the West. "Today the eyes of the whole country are on this beautiful and progressive state. This magnificent Exposition has "been a revelation of her splendid powers. It 1? an anomaly, a contradiction, a re proach indeed that In the midst of these wonderful achievements one-half of her citizens should still be ih absolute polit ical subjection, without voice or share In affairs of state. Are you not ready now to wipe out that paltry 3000 majority which five years ago voted to continue thif unjust condition? Would it not add the crowning glory to this greatest peri od In your history If the freedom of Ore gon should docrec that this shall be, henceforth and forever, the land also of free women?" 3Iiss Anthony Will Speak. Susan B. Anthony has accepted an in vitation to speak at the White Temple next Sunday night. Miss Anthony Is the best known speaker on woman's suffrage in the world. Her fame Is International, and although well advanced in years, she still retains her vigor, and speaks with the same directness and force which years ago won for her such an enviable posi tion among platform orators. At this same service. Professor Frank M. Church, formerly of Chattanooga, Tenn., will render the offertory selec tion on the organ. Mr. Church is nn ac complished musician and one of the most famous organists In the South. His selec tion will be the "Grand Chorus in D," by Guilmant. Dr. Brougher will be In his own pulpit Sunday morning. AT THE THEATERS What the Preaa Affcsts Say. KOLB AND DILL 3IATTNT2E. Musical-Burlesque J. o. U."' After noon and Nigh I at 3Iarquam.

WAS ON WAY TO UMBRIA Italian Cruiser Is Inspected by Gov ernor Toole and Other Officials as Well as Many Curious Sightseers. The King of Italy nearly lost his local representative yesterday afternoon, for Consul Charles F. Candiani had a narrow escape from drowning as he started on a visit to the Italian cruiser Umbria. For the first time since she reached port, the Umbria was open to visitors yesterday afternoon. Consul Candiani. a physician, whose brother Is an Admiral in the Italian navy, and wh ranks as Count among .the Italian nobility, went to An derson & Crowe's Jloat at the foot of Stark street to procure a boat to take him to the cruiser. The first craft he saw was a light, canoe-shaped boat, hardly able to hold two men. Into the frail boat stepped the Consul. He Is large and portly, and the boat very promptly turned turtle. He was seen, but no one was near enough to catch him the flrsl time he reappeared on the surface. Willing hands were stretched out. and he was finally hauled out by F. W. Fletcher. Harry Gerlach and James McQueen. His silk hat was badly damaged, and the Consul himself was nearly done for. He went home In a. hack, and the visit to the cruiser was postponed. Dr. V. T. Elscn, Danish Consul at Portland, came near going into the river, also, while on his way to the cruiser. He was seized Just in time to prevent his falling from the float. Practically all the Italian residents of the city found time to go on the Umbria yesterday afternoon. launches and all kinds of small craft carried several hun dred people 'to her anchorage above the steel bridge. She will be open again to morrow. Earlier in the day. Governor Toole, of Montana, paid a visit to the vessel, ac companied by his family and staff. A sa lute was fired In his honor. AT TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL RABBI IIIRSCH DELIVERS SER MON TO LARGE AUDIENCE. Declnrcd That Not Till Man Ceases to Persecute Man Will Judca's Mission Be Fulfilled. Temple Beth Israel was filled to seat Ing capacity last evening by members of the congregation, visitors and a great many non-Jewish people who sought xho privilege of hearing Dr. Emll G. Hlr&ch, of Chicago. xne -of the foremost Jewish rabbj? of this generation, who spoke for the first time in Portland or on the Pa cific Coast on the subject. "Duties and Dangers." Special music was somg by the choir. Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer, soprano and di rector: Mrs. Frank Raley. contralto; W. H. Boyor. tenor; J. Adrian Epplng. bari tone, and Miss Leonora Fisher, organist. "The Choir Angelic" was the opening an them, followed by "Father, to Thee We Pray." by Gounod. "Father. Breathe an Evening Blessing," and "O Lord. Hear Our Prayer." The quiet, subdued music of the prayer service was beautiful. Dr. Stephen S. Wiss read the usual ritual, and contrary to custom, took occasion to express the gratification that he felt In having Dr. Hlrsch speak from the pulpit of the Portland synagogue, declaring that the pulpit was the center and not the circumference of "this greatest teacher in Israel," whom he declared to be in many ways only to be measured by pro phetlc Mature. Dr. Hlrsch, without any plea for cere monials or arraignment of either the orthodox or the reform Jewish olements; pointed the danger to Judaism in wan dering away from the fundamental prln clples of faith in the divinity of man. He declared that Judaism was not an accl dent of birth, leaving each to accept or reject the burden. He pleaded for "a fuller, a deeper, a broader, a higher Juda ism." In closing. Dr. Hlrsch declared that the Jew had not by any means served the period of usefulness for which destiny fitted him. and Is needed on earth so long as any man Is held in unjustified thraldom or man persecutes fellow men; that as a people their place will continue until the worhl learns the law that God rules in time and space and over nations of the world." What to See When You Hit the Trail GREATEST SHOW OF ALL. "The Carnival of Venice" Leads All Amusement Enterprises.

The performance consists of 1 superb acts never equaled in this coun try. Amusement That Educates. The Lewis and Clark Exposition hue induced the production? of some of the world s greatest amusement caterers nnri many and meritorious are the attractions exirting Doth sides of the Trail, hut even In this high-class company there is one which, for diversified. Interesting and In structive entertainment, stands pre eminent us the feature amusement con cession of the Exposition. This colon i amusement -enture. deservedly famous .at every rreat exRMltlon.oX Xhz past 12 years as the chief attraction of Its Mid way or Pike, has at the several exposi tions been variously named and as often as the name has been changed that often has Manager Akoun elaborated on his previous efforts, until the Lewis and Clark Trail sees the climax of achieve ment in these reproduced streets of the Egyptian capital. The busiest and most interesting- portion of Cairo Is represent- ed. The auaint historic buildings house a company of 30) natives of the Orient. men, women and children. These are en gaged In every form of trade "and manu facture known to the Far Last, visitors can pass a whole day wandering about these streets mingling with the strange natives and visiting the museum?, mosques, coffee houses, bazaars and the aters, and the visit is as interesting to grandpa and grandma as it is educational to the children. "The Streets of Cairo" Is a veritable exposition in itself and often has it been truly said at former exposi tions to be "the life. Interest and pulse of the Midway." Land of the 3Hdnlght Sun. Less than a week was necessary to show the "Midnight Sun' to be the pre mier success of the Trail. Improved after Its four seasons of success at the Buffalo Pan-American and at Boston, It affords a great treat to Portland. The spectator is transported over the Northern Pacific Railroad to Portland and Seattle, through magnificent scenery. Thence the voyage proceeds by steamer. rail and steamer to Skagway, up the lu kon and to Dawson City. Terrific thun derstorms and blinding snows are met In tl..s S(mlle Journey. Portland by day. and moonlight, the. aurora borealls, sun rise and moonlight effects, the electrical and snowstorms, the White Pass, the rise of the midnight sun from behind Moose hide Mountains, arc s'uperb electrical me chanical effects, as is the climax when Dawson City burns. No "moving-picture" show, but a magnificently staged- produc tion is this, and well deserving of the suc cess it has heretofore achieved and Is now achieving. Darkness and Dawn. The latest Trail attraction to open is Darkness and Dawn, which stepped into immediate popularity this week. Here Is a wonderful vision of the worlds to come, founded on the grand epics of Virgil and Dante. One passes through the weird scenes of the Catacombs to an elevator which seems actually to descend to the infernal regions. A marvelous piece of mechanical realism! In the realms of Satan are witnessed the punlsh'mcnts of the wicked, where they suffer without hope. Dawn, on the other hand, is a vis ion of Paradise, too beautiful to be de scribed in words. The eye Is charmed at every glance, while the ear Is soothed with notes of liquid harmony. Over this scene lloat radiant angels on wings of light. Any grucsomcnoss of the trip 13 dispelled by the amusing adventures ex perienced on inc Journey. Darkness and Dawn Is well deserving of the popularity It has won. The Cascades. On the Trail is seen dally a large ma jority of the visitors who come to the Exposition. Nothing but words of praise are heard of this magnificent creation. The electrical and water effects are finer than anything ever attempted in a pro duction of this character. Many visitors who saw the original Cascades at the St. Louis fair pronounce this reproduction as truly marvelous, every detail of the orig inal being shown. In connection with the Cascades is shown the wonderful JIO.OXJ painting, known as the "Wild White Swan." the masterpiece of Alexandria Pope, of Bos ton. At every performance each lady will be presented with a beautiful fire-colored picture of the Cascades. 10x15 Inches. Look for us in the jiarade. Our Hawaiian will be there. Have you heard them sing In their own language? Two Strong- Attractions. Among the Trail attractions that are making good with the Fair visitors are "The Haunted Castle" and "A Trip to Venus." produced by that king of amuse ment caterers, J. R. Gorman. In these attractions no expense has been spared, and those who have seen them pronounce them the best on the Trail. Nothing like them has ever been shown on the Coast, and those who neglect to see them will miss one of the best features of the Trail. Fair Japan. In "Fair Japan.' Exposition visitors are given practically a whole" show. Here are shown not only the wares and art works of the nntlon that is now attract ing the attention of the civilized world, but also the customs, sports and amuse ments of the wonderful little brown peo ple. A Japanese theater and a quaint tea garden looked after by a bevy of bewitching Geisha girls, are features of "Fair Japan." The White Slave. There is. perhaps, nothing on the Trail that appeals stronger to the large mass of intelligent people than Relfksky's cel ebrated C0,O painting of "The White Slave." or "A Glimpse of the Harem." Art critics pronounce it not only a most wonderful study of the nude, but one of the most realistic pieces of figure paint ing ever seen In the United States. ST. LOUIS FAIR REPORT Commission Holds Its Final Meeting and Arranges Data. Because of the presence of Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, Senator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, and ex-Senator George H. McBriJe, of Oregon at Port land, and the fact that Senator Thurs ton was detained here beyond the da to. the final meeting- of the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition Commission of the general Government was held in Port land yesterday and that body expired officially. The above named members to gether with Claude Hough, of St. Louis, assistant secretnry of the commission, have given the report their personal attention, and completed it so far as possible. In addition to the members named, the commission comprised William Lindsay, Kentucky; Frederick A. Bates. Connecticut; John M. Allen. Mississip pi; Martin H. Glynn. New York; Philip D. Scott, Arkansas; hut these members left it to those assembled here to act in the matter of the final session and the bulk of labor in preparation of the reports devolved upon ex-Senator ilc Bride. The report "will make about 700 type written pages, covering the handling of the S5.000.000 appropriation, loan of $4,600,003 and contingent fund of $10. 000, per year for expenses since the formation of the commission in April. 1901, of which the sum of about $9000 will be returned to the treasury.

TacomaV Boosters FINDS THEM GUILTY Slaughter - House Defendants Will Appeal. COURT IMPOSES FINES Punishment Ranges From Fifty to One Hundred Dollars for Main taining Nuisance Within City Limits. Municipal Judge Hosue's last official act before he left the "bench yesterday was to find the defendants guilty In the capes of the City of Portland against T. TV. Bigger. J. H. Cook and James M. Neal. They were charged with maintain ing a slaughter-house in the city limits; maintaining a public nuisance and allow ing offal to remain uncared for -about their premises. Fines of $100 each were imposed on 'the charge of maintaining a slaughter-house In the city limits; tines of 150 each were Imposed on the charge of maintaining a public nuisance, and the charge of 'per mitting offal to remain on the premises was dismissed. Immediately upon hearing the decision, S. B. Unthlcum. counsellor the defend ants, gave notice of appeal. The cases will now be fought out in the Circuit Court. These cases were filed ne months ago and have heen dragging along since. A lawyer named Milton "W. Smith hag been acting as private prosecutor In the mat ter, and always showed a willingness for the cases to be postponed from time to time, on trivial grounds. In the mean time, the hundreds of residents of South Portland have been subjected to the dis comforts resulting from the nuisance, and the slaughter-house is still running unmolested. Tho probability Is that the case will not be called In the Circuit Court until the September term, and they may then be set for a date in the distant future. This gives the defendants the opportunity to operate the slaughter-house and fertiliz ing plant and to maintain the nuisance and to violate the city ordinance while the matter is pending. It is said that the only means now in the hands of the people of South Port land Is the tiling of an Injunction against the slaughter-house, to cause Us Immedi ate shutdown. This might be done. If the proper ofilclals would act, it Is said; but because of the fact that Private Prose cutor Smith is willing to let the cases drift along, it is said the residents In tho vicinity of the nuisance dislike to request anyone else to step In and secure relief for them.
