The tenth annual convention of the
"Washington State Bankers Association

American Inn. The convention lasted
but two days, the first session being
held Thursday morning. Two very im

the members of the association yester

notes, the bankers' do. not send the old
currency for exchange until It is In a
mutilated condition. It has long been
contended by scientists and physicians
that the circulation of bills and bank
notes aids the spread of disease. The
enactment of the proposed law would
lessen the evil to a great extent as the
shorter length of time a bill is in cir
culation, the less contaminated it Is.
Last of the Sessions.
The meeting was called to order at
10:30 o'clock yesterday morning and
Rev. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church. Portland, opened
the session by pronouncing the invoca
tion. A telegram 'was read from the
California Bankers' Association, which
sent greetings to the Washington bank
ers. Reports were received from repre
sentatives from each county in the
State of Washington. All reported that
business was flourishing and the pros
pects were never better. A report was,
also received from the delegates to the
30th annual convention of the American
Bankers' Association, held In New
York In September, 190. Among the
speakers at the morning session were

nalist from San Francisco, whd spoke

Safe-Cracking Exhibition.
In the afternoon the bankers were
treated to safe-cracking tests and
demonstrations held in the open space
Immediately south of the American Inn.
The south veranda of the American Inn
was filled with hundreds of people, who
were attracted there by the safe
cracking operations. J. J. Scott, an ex
pert from Cincinnati, had charge of th
tests. He was assisted by A Oppen
heim. also from Cincinnati. A large
safe, such as is installed in banks, was
cracked and broken Into after 15 ter
rific explosions of nitro-glycerlne. It
took the experts an hour and seven
minutes to break open the safe.
The safe was of the latest and most
modern design. The experts closed up
the cracks of the safe with putty and
exploded the nltro-glycerine. Tne
charges varied from half an ounce to
one ounce In strength and made a noise
that was. almost deafening. Time and
time again the experts poured tho nltro-glycerine
In the cracks and explod
ed It by an electric battery. On the 16th
time the explosion was so terrific as to
throw the hugs safe in the air, break
ing in this steel "doors which had pre
vented access to the vaults Inside. The
explosions could be heard all over the
exposition grounds.

SIM BUTTLE AT THE PI
FIFTEEN" HUNDRED TROOPS TO
PARTICIPATE.
Spectacle Will Surpass- Anything of
the Kind Before Attempted
In the Xorthwesu
A sham battle, with nearly 1500 troops
p&rtldpating. will be the feature of the
Exposition this afternoon. The mock en
gagement will begin at 4 o'clock, and will
last more than two hours.
For the past three days Director of
Works Oskar Hubcr and Colonel Ganten
beln have been studying the topography
of the Exposition, with the idea of pro?
dudng a spectacle that will surpass any
thing that has yet been attempted In this
line of entertainment in the Northwest.
Today's hattle la the result of this labor.
It is expected that thousands of Port
land citizens will avail themselves of the
opportunity thus presented to witness a
conflict of the magnitude of that to .be
presented today. Preparations have beep
made to handle a large crowd of sight
seers. With the idea of surprising the public.
It has been decided that some of the fea
tures of the show will be In the shape of
unexpected encounters and conflicts' be
tween the men of the opposing forces.
Only the general plan of the battle has
been made public, and the minor details
will be worked out so as to present an In
teresting spectacle to Fair visitors.
The battle itself will be fought on the
hillside west of th grounds, within sight
of nearly all parts of the Fair. Major
May .and 350 soldiers from the Third Ore
gon will occupy trenches on the side hill
above St. Helen's road. This will be the
defending force, or the Browns.
Three battalions of the Third Oregon
under Colonel Gantcnbeln will be sta
tioned at the southwest corner of the
grounds In the vicinity of the Forestry
building. This will be the main attacking
force.
Two companies of the Tenth United
States Infantry will be on Government
Island, provided with boats to cross the
lake, and thejtattery and cavalry will be
on the Northern Pacific embankment, the
former to shell the trenches of the de
fense. After a number of Interesting maneu
vers, the defense will be lured from Its
position by a feint attack by the regulars
on Government Island. Then the attack
ing force under Colonel Gantenbeln will
make a flank attack through Willamette
Heights, and put the Browns to flight.
Such in a broad way is the description
of the battle. The details are full of In
terest, and the engagement promises to
be one of the features of the Fair.

STATE BANKERS ORGANIZE
FINANCIERS OF OREGON" FORM
ASSOCIATION".
It Is Modeled Aftsr That ot the
Bankers of "Washington Vis
iting Here.
Believing that they can accomplish
more for the general benefit of the
banking Interests of this state work
ing as a body, 3S bankers gathered at
the American Inn yesterday afternoon
and organized the Oregon State Bank
ers' Association. The meeting was
called to order at 4 o'clock, after the
safe-cracking exhibition gives for the
entertainment of the bankers, and fol
lowing the adoption of the constitution
the following officers were elected:
President, A. Frank Watson, Mer
chants National Bank. Portland: vice
president, ,E. V. Carter. Bank of Ash
land; secretary. J. L. Hartman. Port
land Clearing-House; treasurer, W. E.
Grace. Citizens National Bank. Baker
City; executive committee, H. IXIrsch
berg. Independence; F. L. Meyers. La
Grande National Bank: E. W. Haines,
Forest Grove; E. C Apperson, McMlnn-
vllle Bank: W. H. Dunckley. Ladd &
TUton's Bank. Portland.
The Oregon bankers organization Is
similar to the Washington State Bank
ers Association, which yesterday at the
American Inn closed Its tenth annual
convention. It Is very probable that
the Washington, Idaho and. Oregon
State Bankers Associations will meet
together annually In a convention. The
amalgamation of the three associations
has been suggested, but the members
of the Washington Association are. In
favor of preserving their organization
intact, and Instead, have a Joint meet
ing of the three associations held once
a year. This matter will be settled
later.
The Oregon State Bankers' Associa
tion was formed for the purpose of
centering and furthering the banking
interests of the state as a whole. These
associations exist in nearly all of the
states In the Union, and the bankers
say. they derive great benefits from
them. It not only affords tho bankers
of the state an opportunity of becom
ing more Intimately acquainted with
each other, but has many educational
features which tend to help the mem
bers In their business. At the annual
meetings papers arc read by promi
nent men. and the bankers discuss
practical business questions. In this
manner they exchange ideas and learn
many things that aid them.
Practically nothing was done at the
meeting yesterday outside the adoption
of the constitution and the election of
,the officers. The next meeting of the
association will be called by the presi
dent. During the nominations yester
day, A. L. Mills was mentioned as a
candldato for the presidency, but he
refused to accept the nomination. The
attendance was not so large as ex
pected, as there are nearly 100 banks
In Oregon. Eventually, however. It is
thought that the membership of the as
sociation will be very" large.
P. C Kauffman. secretary of the
Washington State Bankers Associa
tion, delivered a short address before
the Oregon bankers yesterday. To Mr.
Kauffman Is due much of the success
that has been attained by the Wash
ington Association, and his companions
thought It fitting that he be appointed
to. extend greetings to , the Oregon
hankers and give thera a few sugges
tions at their Initial meeting. Mr.
Kauffnfan related the results that had
been achieved through the organiza
tion of the Washington bankers. Ha
told how the association had secured
the enactment of several state laws
that advanced the Interests of the
bankers.

On Thursday night the soldiers of the

It last night.
Promptly at S o'clock, two companies
of the Tenth United States Infantry sta

marched to the reviewing ground. A few
moments later several battalions of the
Third Oregon, headed by the regiment
band, marched through the Twenty-sixth-street

with the band stationed on the left of
the long line that reached from the For
