Finding the Chinese government a trifle
lacking In enterprise. Shantung province
has sent a full exhibit to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition on its own behalf. The
exhibit reached Portland yesterday morn
ing In charge of Hsia Ting Hslng who at
once made application for any spare ex
hibit space that might be obtainable. Di
rector of Exhibits H. E. Dosch at onco
set apart a small unoccupied area In the
Oriental building. In order to get all
the exhibit Into this space it will be
necessary to arrange it In tiers.
Shantung wishes to exploit Its products
especially its pottery and porcolain
wares and hand-carved goods. It wishes
to become known as the most progressive
province of the Empire and to make its
products known to the world. Its objoct
Is to secure broader markets and not im
migrants. There are enough people thero
already, if not too many.
Explains Ills Purpose.
Commissioner Hslng explains that his
province would have had a display earlier
but that It was expected the Chinese gov
ernment would have a big showing. In
stead the government allowed its claims
cn exhibit space to go by default into
the hands of a few Mongolian ornament
and knick-knack merchants. About three
months ago a high official of Shantung
was in Portland and he stated at the
time that he would see his province prop
erly represented since China, as a whole,
was to do nothing. Nothing was thought
of the promise, however, until Commis
sioner Hslng appeared at the exhibits'
department yesterday morning and pre
sented his passports and credentials to
Assistant Director of Exhibits H. B.
Hardt.
Commissioner Hslng is an exceptional
Chinese of the type which bespeaks more
progressive times ahead for China. Al
though educated in China he speaks Eng
lish fairly well and has forsworn his
queue He is accompanied by two young
Chinese students who are here to enter
California State University. The students
are on their first journey away from the
Orient and American conveniences and
utilities have kept them away from their
sleep since they landed at San Francisco
several days ago. They were particularly
impressed with the Exposition, and the
wondering almond-eyes were as round as
occidental optics all the time they were
on the Fair grounds.
Is Seeking Foreign Markets.
What the people of Shantung province
are Interested In is getting good markets
for things they have to sell, so Commis
sioner Hslng stated. He explained that
when he said people he meant the "better
classes for the others, like cattle, did
not bother about thinking at all. . Re
garding the boycotting of American goods
he says the government was out of sym
pathy with any isuch action although
the merchants had not the friendliest pos
sible feeling toward America.
"The Chinese government feels that
the best classes of their people should
be allowed to come and go at will," said
the commissioner, in effect. "I do not
think you ought to Iks expected to take
our worst people for they are not much
good to any country."
Work on the Shantung province booth
will he started at once and the exhibit
will be installed as soon as the booth
is ready.
IiA-VVyERS' DAY AT FAIR.
Will Follow Organization of Pacific
Bar Association.
Final arrangements have been 'per
fected for the exercises to be held during
the Convention of the Pacific Coast Bar
In this city on Thursday and Friday of
this week.
On Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, vls
itlne and local lawyers will meet at HI-
bernla Hall at the southwest corner of
Sixth and Washington Streets. At 2
o'clock in the afternoon of the same day
at the same place Hampton L. Carson,
Attorney-General, of Pennsylvania, and
author of "Lives of the Chief Justices,"
will address the Convention.
At the close of General .Carson's ad
dress the. Convention will resolve itself
into a meeting for the purpose of organ-
izlnc the Pacific Coast Bar Association.
This movement has the unanimous en
dorsement of the entire Bar of Oregon,
Washington Jdaho, Montana, Utah. Cal
ifornia, Nevada and Arizona. The Ameri
can Bar Association holds its annual
meetings upon the Atlantic Seaboard, and
for this geographical reason among many
others It has not taken a strong hold
upon the lawyers of the Pacific Slope. It
is the expectation of the originators of
the Pacific Coast Bar Association that
such an Association will mean to the Bar
of the Pacific Coast what the Amorlcan
Bar Association hag meant In the East
ern States.
At the American Inn. in the evening,
a banquet will be served, and the speak
ers selected for that occasion will be
some of the strongest and witUost men in
the several Coast cities. As host of the
Association the Orogon Bar Association
has designated Alfred F. Sears, Jr., as
presiding officer for the banquet.
On Friday the Disciples of Blackstone
will be taken on an excursion on the
Upper Columbia, leaving foot of Salmon
Street at 8:30 A. M.. and returning about
5:30 P. M. Visiting lawyers and their
families will be the guests of the Oregon
Bar Association on this excursion.

REARREST IS ORDERED.
Men Charged With Kobbery Had
Been Ilelcascd.
Asserting that thorough Investigation
had convinced them that two men ar
rested for holding-up the occupants
of a saloon that were not guilty.
Detectives Carpenter and Reslng, upon
advice from Deputy District Attor
ney Haney, dropped the charges against
John Lambert and Charges Kuhne. Late
yesterday afternoon, Robert Eggert and
J. Charles Hoyt, victims of the brutality
and greed of robbers, swore to complaints
and the police will be compelled to re
arrest. This Is one of the most peculiar cases
ever coming to the attention of the local
police. The complaining witnesses declare
most emphatically that Kuhne and Lam
bert are the men who entered the Corner
saloon. Twenty-first and Thurman streets,
Sunday night and beat and robbed them.
Detectives Carpontor and Reslng. who
went to the scene at first, arc thoroughly
satisfied that the identification of the
complainants is a mistake, and declare
their full belief in the innoconce of the
men again to be arrested.
Detective Reslng did not want to arrest
Kuhne and Lambert Sunday night, as he
did not believe them to be guilty of the
crime that had just been perpetrated at
the saloon. However. Eggert Insisted,
saying they were guilty and the officers
were obliged, under the circumstances,
to make the arrest. The prisoners talked
freely, tolling a good story of their
Journeylngs of Sunday night, according
to the police. The pair claim to be
waiters and had just walked in from the
Seven-Mile House.
Chief Grltzmacher is also of the belief
that Kuhne and Lambert are not guilty
of the crime charged by Eggert and Hoyt,
but when the latter swore to complaints
charging assault and robbery, he ordered
the detectives to locate and rearrest the
two men. They were taken into custody
at 7:30 o'clock last night.
Xiawn Birthday Party.
A lawn birthday party -was given by
George Cornwall at his home In Pied
mont last night in honor of the 12th birth
day of his son. George. About 30 chil
dren were present Refreshments were
served on tables on the lawn, lighted by
Cninese lanterns. Dancing and games
followed. Many presents were made the
boy as birthday reminders.

One Banquet Last' Night and
Another Tonight.
FUNCTION -AT THE FAIR
Invitations Are Mailed to Three
Hundred and Fifly Rcprescn
f tatlvc Citizens to Meet Rail
way Magnate at Dinner.
E. H. Harriman. president of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company, the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and a
score of otfier transportation companies,
and director in many more, today one of
the foremost railway manipulators and
financiers In the world, will tonight en
tertain about 0 representative citizens
of Portland at the American Inn. at
dinner, of which he is the hoeU Invi
tations were mailed yesterday by James
G. "Wilson, of the office of W. VT. Cotton,
to the leading railroad officials of the
various companies having representation
here, merchants, bankers and profession
al men. and judging from the number of
responses received, the covers laid will
approximately, and possibly exceed, that
stated above.
This is a little variation from the es
tablished nile of entertaining dignitaries
of the railroad world upon the occasion
of their visit to an Important terminal
of their system, Mr. Harriman having
come as a visitor, but to receive the
community as his guest through Its rep
resentative citizens. Whether the ban
quet will be seasoned and spiced with
oratorical features Is to be realized by
those who have been remembered with
Invitations, but It is anticipated that Mr.
Harriman has chosen this opportunity
and arranged the setting to his own
taste for such gems as he may be pre
pared' to display In the way of announce
ments of additional transportation fa
cilities for Oregon.
Palatial Train in Yards.
In the yards of 'the Northern Pacific
Terminal Company the. palatial train of
Mr. Harriman has been placed on a side
track for the time of his stop in Port
land. Together wltli members of the
party a suite of rooms and parlors at
the American Inn have been occupied
during the stay at the Exposition. The
personnel of the party follows: E. H. Har
riman and Mrs. Harriman. Misses Mary.
Cornelia, Clara, and Masters Avrell and
Roland Harriman; Hugh Nelll, private
secretarv to ' Mr. Harriman; Octavius
Bates, tutor to the boys; three maids
and a valet. Yesterday Mr. Harriman
remained at the American Inn the greater
part of the day, engrossed In dispatch
of matters that required his personal at
tention, although the trip is meant for
one of ' recreation, last evening being de
voted to attendance at a dinner.
Informal Dinner Given.
In the New York building at the Expo
sition, which has been the scene of many
brilliant functions, the dining-room last
evening presented a beautiful scene at an
Informal, unofficial dinner tendered E. H.
Harriman by President Goode. Mr. Har
riman headed the New York Commission
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition last
year, and the function attending the spe
cial ceremonies for the Empire State were
distinguished by the presence of the most
eminent citizens of that state. His com
mendation of the Lewis and Clark Fair
was expressed In words of unstinted
praise in a short address, responding to
words of welcome from the president of
the Exposition. Mr. Harriman counseled
co-operation between the people of Port
land and the railroads as the means of
accomplishing the highest degree of suc
cess for both the transportation com
panies and the business interests of the
community and state. In extending greet
ings to Mr. Harriman the host voiced ap
preciation of what the railroads had done
to auJc the Fair successful, giving the
Harriman lines especial credit for as
sistance. The tables were arranged In the form
of two sides and both ends of a. parallello
gram. covered with a profusion of red.
white and blue sweet peas, while the
chandeliers were heavily shaded with the
same flowers. Near the center of the side
were banked cut roses, and the places on
the right and left of the host were occu
pied by Mr. Harriman and J. C. Stubbs.'

room Mrs. E. H. Harriman entertained
Mrs. Beacon, a friend, and a pary of
young people with a luncheon In a room
on the second floor of the New York
building.
Exhibitors' Club In Wrongly
The Exhibitors' Club at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition wrangled while
trying to elect officers yesterday at
the National Cash Register auditorium
with the result that many of the mem
bers are wondering whether the club
still exists. Factional feeling, produced
by the desire of different exhibit-building
attaches to be represented In the
control of the cjub, brought on the
trouble. After wasting several vol
umes of heated words the club ad
journed Its business session unceremo
niously. The difficulty arose directly over the
selection of a president. A president
had been elected recently In the person
of W. J. Riley. Later, however, several
members claimed the election was not
according to parliamentary rules and
hence the election or attempted elec
tion of yesterday. The candidates In the
field were John C. Sullivan and W. B.
Neff. the former having charge of an
exhibit In the Manufactures building
and tnc latter In the Machinery build
ing. When the smoke cleared and the
ballots were counted announcement
was made that Neff had won by one
vote, four ballots with Sullivan's name
attached having been thrown out be
cause of being Improperly presented on
paper other than that supplied by the
secretary. Parliamentary rules anJ vi
tuperation flew every which way until
finally most of the members had left.
The meeting ended without any adjust
ment of the difference. It is believed,
however, that a call for a second meet
ing will be made and the ' difficulty
patched up.
Airship Will Essay Flight.
If weather conditions are favorable the
airship Angelus will make another flight
this afternoon at-2 o'clock from the Ex
position grounds. One of the most In
teresting aerial demonstration thus far
will take place next Saturday, weather
permitting, when the Angelus and Gela
tine will attempt a competitive and
simultaneous flight. The Angelus Is much
the larger craft, but the other airship,
constructed by George Tomllnson. of
Syracuse, N. Y., Is said to have a power
ful motor and facilities for speed and
wind-bucking.
Oregon Grape Day.
The address of welcome to the Wom
an's Federated Clubs of Oregon, having
In charge the programme of Oregon
Grape day, will be given by President
Jefferson Myers, of the Lewis and Clark
State Commission. The exercises will
begin at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the
Oregon building.
The Denver & Rto Grande has estab
lished through Pullman standard sleeping
car service between Portland and Denver,
leaving Portland at S:15 P. M.. spending

GOLD BRICK STOLEN
A. D. McQueen Is Victim of a
Pickpocket.
BAR WORTH S400 LIFTED
While Riding on Mt. Tabor Street
Car, Thief Takes the Precious
Contents From Mining
Expert's Pocket.
A. D. McQueen, a prominent mining
expert, was robbed yesterday of a WOO
gold brick. An unknown confidence man
turned the trick while Mr. McQueen
was riding on a Mt. Tabor street car.
The gold was the product of the "Gold
Bug" mine, and the bar has been in
the possession of Mr. McQueen for sev
eral days, much of the time reposing
comfortably In his pocket, from which
he drew It from time to time to show It
to admiring friends. It had been to many
a Joy and delight to "heft" the bar of.
beautiful yellow gold, and to speculate
as to the number of shining twenties It
would make If turned Into coin of the
realm. During one of these Impromptu
exhibitions. It Is supposed that a "con"
man was present and that the man of
light fingers and nimble wits looked at
the brick with eyes of longing.
At any rate the gold brick was lifted
quietly and gently from Mr. McQueen's
pocket yesterday, for the bar is missing
and Mr. McQueen mourning. But he Is
mourning In silence and taking his med
icine quietly, having made no report of
the theft to the police.
Last night a reporter called at the
residence of Mr. McQueen at 675 John
son street and requested the details of
the robbery, which the mining man re
fused, saying that he didn't believe in
talking to the newspapers.
STRIKE HEAH ITS
SO SATS WILIilAM DTJMARS OF
WESTERN UNION.
Declares There Is No Trouble on
. Line Except. From Wire
Cutting by Strikers.
TVIHIam Dumars, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, is
authority for the statement that the
strike of telegraphers on the Northern
roads Is not materially Interfering
with business, and steps have been.
iacen to prevent interference witn
wires. He said:
AU offices of any Importance along the line
of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
are now open for Western Union business.
and there Is no delay, the only Inconvenience
being due to strikers or their sympathizers
Interfering with our wires. As this causes
interruption to interstate business and de
lays Government business, the Attorney
General has taken up the matter through
the various District Attorneys, aad is em
ploying secret service men to apprehend the
guilty parties.
The Western Union Is offering a reward of
$130 for the arrest and conviction of any one
caught tampering with Its wires ,or inter
fering with the transmission of business. It
is thought from presept appearances that
most or all of the old employes who are
still on strike will apply for reinstatement
tomorrow.
As a matter of news, all the Great North
ern offices on the Cascade division that
is. west of Leavenworth are now filled ex
cept Madison, and most of them by the men
who were on strike.
Silk Comes In, Flour Goes Out.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Numantia
sailed from Yokohama August 5, and is
now on her way to Portland, where she
should arrive about August 21. On board
Is a carload of raw silk for the New Jer
sey mills, besides a quantity of other
overland freight.
Both the NIcomedIa and the Numantia
will take heavy cargoes of flour and
wheat to the Orient. This Is the effect
of the reduction on flour which goes Into
effect August 15, and cuts the rate from
$5 to W. It Is evident that the boycott
against American goods has not yet se
riously affected American flour.

Cure For Jftie Blues
OME MEDICINE THAT HAS NEVER FAILED
Health Fully Restored and the Joy of
. Lite Regained
When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted
woman is suddenly plunged into that
perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is
a sad picture. It is usually this way :
one has been ieeung out oi sorts
for some time; head has ached and
back also ; has slept poorly, bern quit
nervous, and nearly fainted once or
twice; head dizzy, and heart-beats very
fast ; then that bearing-down feeling,
and during her menstrual period she is
exceedingly despondent. Nothing
pleases her. Her doctor says: "Cheer
up: you have dyspepsia; you "will be
all right soon."
But she doesn't get " all right." and
hope vanishes; then come the brood
ing, morbid, melancholy, everlasting
BLOES.
Don't wait until your sufferings have
driven you to despair, with your nerves
all shattered and your courage gone,
but take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. See what it did for
Mrs. Rosa Adams, of 319 12th Street,
Louisville, Ky., niece of the late Gen
eral Roger Hanson , C. S. A. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I cannot tell you with pen and ink what
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has dono for mo. I suffered with female
troubles, extreme lassitude, 'the blues,'
nervousness and that all-gone feeling. I was
advised to try Lydia E. Plntbam's egetahle
Compound, and it not only cured my female
derangement, but it has restored me to perfect
health and strength. Tha buoyancy of ray
vounger days has returned, and I do'not suf
fer any longer with despondencv, as I did le
fore. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound a boon to sick and suffering
women."
If you have some derangement of
the female organism write Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice.
