Theme of Discussion at the
iCivic Conference at the
Exposition.
WOODRUFF AND ZUEBLIN
Both See Hopeful Progress of Gov
ernment in Cities and an In
creasing Tendency to Ob
literate Grafting.
"Co-opor&tlon Among' Municipali
ties" w&s the theme of general dis
cussion at the Civic Conference meeting-
at the Lewis and Clark Exposition
yestorday. The principal speakers of
the afternoon were Clinton Rogers
Woodruff, of Philadelphia, and Profes
sor Charles Zueblin, of Chicago, each
of whom gave an interesting talk on
the subject of municipal reform. The
main point of discussion tended toward
the securing of Mme kind of an or
ganization among the municipalities
of the 'Northwest, . with the objoct of
promoting civic Improvement in the
cities of this territory.
Mr. Woodruff .said in part: "In the
past few years there has been a mar
velous increase in the civic honesty
of all or large cities, as well as in
city life of all places, large or small.
A few years ago the graft system of
political patronage was the despair of
all municipal governments. There is
now a condition of hopefulness, for a
few year ago such meetings as these
of th Civic Conferonce would have
been critical instead of constructive.
Study of Civics.
"There has been a vast increase In
study by the people of our country aa
shown by the tremendous Increase in
the sale of newspapers and magazines,
as well as by the numerous public
libraries that iiave been founded In
all our cltio. There has been a groat
increase in all cities of non-partisanship
in city elections, all ovor the
country. What was pooh-poohed at a
few years ago Is now an increasingly
realized fact
"The advance in civic improvement
in the last few years has been remark
able, but not lews remarkable than the
advance In administration methods and
practices. There has boon a great
multiplication of municipal agencies.
There are more than 2000 municipal
improvement clubs now In the United
States. There are upward of 700 civic
associations. Men and women alike
have constituted thee organizations,
and the childron have done most sig
nificant work. There is an awaken
ing in citizenship the like of which was
not dreamed of ton years ago.
No Golden Road to Betterment.
"Thore is no golden road to munici
pal betterment. The effort 1b essen
tial. Tou have to croate a public
opinion, and sec that it is actively
expressed, and at the right time.
"Whon the .troops were entering
Peking an American was asked to
Identify the various bodies of the in
ternational army as they entered the
city, and did so in the following man
ner: 'That is the Czar's roglmont and
the Czar's flag, as the Russians
passed. 'Those are the Mikado's troops
and the Mikado's flag,' as the Japa
nese went bj Those are the Kaiser's
troops and that is the Kaiser's flag.
as the Germans Med past. 'Those are
the Queen's soldiers (it was in the
days of the late Queon Victoria) 'and
the Queen's flag,' as the English army
passed, 'and those,' said the American,
with his heart full of pride, 'are our
own soldiers and that Is my flag. "
"And so it Is with the American
people, the source of our strength and
of our progress' is in the people thom
relves. Nothing can bo more signifi
cant than the meetings of this civic
conferonce. Croate the public opinion
and bring together all the forces and
thus will the surest progress come."
Prof. Zucblin's Remarks.
Professor Charles Zueblin of the Uni
versity of Chicago, followed Mr. Wood
ruff with a few remarks on the same
subject. Professor Zueblin said In part:
"The cities of America are better gov
erned than the country, than the coun
ties, and than the States, and are be
coming the training schools In citizen
ship. Encouraging facts are the advance
of civil service reform In municipalities.
The growth in the number of people who
think politically. There is a decay of
provincialism. Boston, New Tork and
Philadelphia are provincial. Portland
and Seattle would not slur each other
if they knew about each other. Cities
ought to compare notes. The most note
worthy thing of all is the multiplication
of the things the cities do. The way
to get the most and best for our cities, is
to organic and to follow what other
cities that are in the lead are doing."
Following the remarks of the Chicago
man several of the local delegates held
the floor for short talks on their views
of municipal reform and the best manner
in which to organize the cities of the
Northwest to the mutual advantage of all
concerned.
Addresses by Local fen.
A. Jj. Mills was the next speaker and
said in part: "The Legislature of the
State of Oregon has the control of tne
City franchises and any time it sees fit
it may revoke any one franchise and
Issue another of a widely dlfforent policy
than that held by the city. I do not think
this Is just, for cities, especially of the
size f Portland, should have the power
of creating Its own franchise or charter.
This could be accomplished If enough
people, both men and women, were banded
together to work for this object. The
poople of Oregon, that Is Multnomah
County, have secured the direct primary
law and now they should band together In
the .cause of this new ijnprovebont In
municipal affairs."
Rabbi Wise and Thomas N. Strong each
made short addresses on municipal re
form, after which R. W. Montague pro
posed that the meeting consider some plan
for the formation of a league for the
promotion of municipal reform in the
Northwest. In response to the appeal
Y D. Wheelwright offered the following
resolution which was carried: "Bo it
resolved, that a committee be appointed
to devise ways and moans for the organ
ization of a municipal league or leagues
in the States of Oregon, Washington ana
Idaho, and to proceed with the constitut
ing of such league or leagues, and to call
a convention or conventions for that pur
pose as they may be advised."
The Chairman put the matter In the
hands of a standing committee, after
which the meeting adjourned, to meet
today at 2 P. M. at the same place, the
Auditorium at the Exposition grounds.
Loses Place, Jtmt Gains Bride.
.Heilost his job on the police force, but
gained a blushing bride in the person of
Mrs. Belle Dalghton. This Is the brief
history of W. H. Rogers, late a patrolman
of "Portland's ilnest," who became em
broiled with a rival because of interfer
ence, was yanked upon "the carpet," In
vestigated by a Board of Commissioners
and "fired."
After being "fired" Rogers did not put
on sackcloth, neither did he wallow ,ln
ashes. He hit the trail to the County
Cli-rk's office, purchased a license to wed
the cause of his dismissal from the police
force, and it is hoped he will live happily
ever after.
Rogers was tried, convicted and dis
charged Saturday afternoon, and secured
his license to wed the following Tuesday.
It is supposed he is married by this time.
E. Simpson is the man who preferred
charges against Rogers, and the affair
grew out of an altercation arising between
the "ex-copper" and John I. Wigle, a
seller of the earth. The latter is aged
about CO years, and, despite his calling,
alleges he "is out" about 5175 because of
his affiliation with the former Mrs. Dalgh
ton. She was once his business partner
for three weeks, he says, and later she
was willing to become his partner for life
They were engaged. She had been mar
ried twice, and as he was not anxious to
wed immediately, no "date was fixed
for the nuptials.
Time went by and Rogers entered the
game, finally winning himself a bride, but
losing his position as a defender of the
people and guardian of the city's peace.
MEET AFTER SIXTY YEARS
Charles Hosford Comes to Visit His
Brother, Rev. C. O. Hosford.
Rev. C O. Hosford, the woll-known
pioneer Methodist minister, who came
to Oregon in 1845, is celebrating a re
union with his brother, Charles Hos
ford. of Nebraska, whom he had not
seen for 60 years. This reunion of
brothers includes Milton Hosford, of
Canby, whom Charles Hosford had not
met for 52 years. Another brother
lives in Missouri, who was expected to
come to Oregon, but was too feeble to
undertake the long trip. He is 91 years
old.
In the Spring of 1845, Rev. C O. Hos
ford, then a young man, filled with
ambition to see the great unknown
West, parted from his brother Charles
at their home in Greene County, New
York, on the Hudson Rivor, the latter
a lad of 11 years, and. Joining a wagon
train, came on through to Oregon, first
settling in Polk County, then coming
to Oregon City. Here he remained for
a time and became, a circuit rider of
the Methodist missionary conferonce
and afterwards of the Oregon confer
ence. He came to Portland in 184R,
when there wore 15 cabins. He visited
and prayed In all the cabins. In the
mining oxcitement he wenf to Cali
fornia and mined and proached near
Sutter's mill. Then he spent six
months in San Francisco, and organ
ized the first Methodist class in that
state. Rev. Mr. Hosford now enjoys
the distinction of being the oldest
pioneer minister living, being 84 years
old. His brother Charles is 71 years
old, well-preserved and a fine-looking
old gentleman. When the brothers
met at the Union Depot, as they ex
pected to see each other, the recogni
tion was mutual, but both acknowl
edge that they would not have known
each other undor other conditions.
Since Charles Hosford parted from his
brother, 60 years ago, many thing
happened. He served in the ranks all
through the Civil War, and wears that
badgo of honor, the button that shows
him to be a member of the G. A. R. He
is alert and has the bearing of a sol
dier. He will remain in Portland six
weeks? Since meeting his brother.
Rev. Mr. Hosford, they have been try
ing to make up for the separation of
the past 60 yoars. While remaining in
Oregon. Charles Hosford will see the
Exposition and the country thoroughly.
The two gray-headed men are now
boys together again. They will visit
their numerous relatives living In and
about Fortland. Among those are
Captain O. W. Hosford. Mrs. D. A.
Grout and Mrs. E. Peterson.
SOLVES MYSTERY OF FIRE
Sherlock Holmes, or Kerrigan and
Snow Outdone.
J. S. Foss has solved the mystery of
the recent fire In the grocery store of
Griffith & Bellamy, on the corner of
Grand and Hawthorne avenues. Mr.
Foss owns the inside building whore ho
has an office and at the back-end is a
room for a resort for friends. Dukes &
Caffey have a meat market in the build
ing next to the store. At the back end
of the grocery store was a coaloll rosor
volr, around which a small room had
been built. It was In this oil reservoir
that the fire started, and spread to the
store building.' It appeared plain that
the building had been set on fire. Mr.
Foss figures how and why the fire was
started, and shows It was the work of
a burglar. Mr. Foss says that there were
several men In the rear room of his of
fice sitting around a table on which there
was a light. The burglar first came to
the rear door of the moat market of
Dukes & Caffey, part of which was glass.
With a large piece of slag he broke the
window, reached inside, turned the key
in the door .and walked inside. From the
inside he had a view of the men in Foss
back room through the side window of
the meat market. Those men heard the
broken glass fall, but gave It no thought.
Once inside the burglar went into the
front room of the meat market, andbroko
open the money till and took out 10 cents,
the only money it contained. Ho then went
outside, and seeing the little house over
the oil reservoir thought ho saw the way
to enter the store. It so happened that
the reservoir had not been locked that
night, and the burglar pushed It open.
It being dark Inside, ho lighted a match,
probably an exploslvo parlor match, which
was dropped down on the oil, and this
started the fire. All the evidence corrob
orates Mr. Foss. The glass In the back
door of the meat market was found
broken, the men heard the noise of the
broken glass, the piece of slag was found
on the table, and the 10 cents left over
night In the money till was missing after
the fire started In the oil reservoir. No
link in the chain is left out. Sherloak
Holmes, Kerrigan, Snow or Day couldn't
do a better Job of detecting than Mr.
Foss.
Boys Run Away to the Fair.
Determined to see the attractions at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. Owen Wells,
aged 6, and Raymond Francis Hawkins,

Otto J. Kraemer Sends Saucy
Message to Judge.
LAWYER USES TELEPHONE
Case Is Set for the ilcarlnrr of At

His Professional License
to Practice.
"Tell Judge Cameron to do whatever
he sees fit," was the the message tele
phoned into the Municipal Court yester
day morning by Otto J. Kraomer. a law
yer. Judge Cameron whon told of what Mr.
Kraemer had said, "saw fit" to set the
OTTO J. KRAEMER, WHO TELEPHONED CURT REPLY TO MUNICIPAL
JUDGI2 CAMERON.
case for hearing this morning. Although
His Honor clearly felt keenly the pecu
liar message, he made no comment eon
coming the matter.
-dr. Kraemer stands charged with prac
ticing law without a license. He was in
cluded In a list of scores of professional
men, among them Governor Chamber
lain, District Attorney Manning and even
Municipal Judge Cameron himself. The
charges were preferred by License In
spector McEachern.
Judge Cameron fixed a rule that de
fendants must secure the necessary li
cense and pay into the hands of t-lerk
Hennessey the sum of J2.S0. as costs.
This ended cases of this nature. Many
attorneys disliked the procedure, and
Judge Cameron did not relish It any more
than the rest, when It came his turn
to "put up." He did so, however, as
did all the long list of legal lights, un
til Mr. Kraemer's name was readied. He
balked.
During the Republican primaries, Mr.
Kraemer was a candidate for tho por
tion of Municipal Judge. He was beaten
by Judge Cameron. Some claim he has
hardly recovered from the defeat. At any
rate, he declined to pay the customary
$2.50 costs, and entered a plea of not
guilty. His case was set for hearing yes
terday, and was called in its turn by
Deputy District Attorney Haney. who
was handling the. city cases for Deputy
City Attorney Fitzgerald, who was ab
sent on business.
Mr. Kraemer was not present, and in
vestigation by court officials developed
the fact that he was In his office, ami
whon asked about the case, sent the
peculiar reply.
It is said that Mr. Kraemer's imper
tinent message was practically a defi
ance, that he proposed to Ignore Judge
Cameron, and to belittle his court. In
teresting developments are lookod for
this morning, unless Mr. Kraomer ap
pears to stand trlaL Thore was some
talk yesterday' morning of Issuing a
bench warrant for him, but this Judge
Cameron declined to do. It is said
that Mr. Kraemer's action really con
stituted contempt of court, but Judge
Cameron overlooked it, if so.
When Policeman B. F. Smith entered
the residence of William Camp, Tenth
and Hoyt streets, at an early hour yes
terday morning, he found Camp swear
ing and tearing, and humble Mrs. Camp
hiding under a bundle of clothes in a
corner of the room.
"How about this?" askod Judge
Cameron.
"Well, . Judge. I drank a little beer
during the night," replied Camp, "ami
I guess it was working on me."
"Neighbors say they have continual
trouble with Camp: that he drives his
wife' out sometimes and Is a general
nuisance," explained Policeman Smith.
"We koep a ooardlng and rooming
house, and he drives away our pat
rons," testified the next-door neigh
bor. "We've got to have relief."
"I guess booze is what's ailing this
defendant," suggested Deputy District
Attorney Haney. "If he'll cut that out,
I guess he'll be all right."
Camp worked for a local transfer
company for 29 years, and is accounted
a good teamster. His cage was con
tinued and more evidence will be in
troduced. Thomas McGllnn, one of the proprie
tors of ttye Tuxedo saloon, 2SS Alder
street, appeared in court and protest
ed to Judge Cameron recardintr the
actions of the court and Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald the previous Jay,
I . - f . . ...
in ruiuMii iu pcrmu mm to dispose
of a charge of keeping his establish
ment open after hours by forfeiting
-ball of 52i. McGllnn told Judge Cam
eron he had been arrested no oftener
than other saloonkeepors, but Judge
Cameron roplled that he knew better;
that Mr. Fitzgerald had said so. and
that McGllnn even now has oases on
appeal to tho Circuit Court. The case
will be hoard today.
Sam McDonald was .lined. $10 Xor

RECORD TRIP TO SUMMIT
Charles 31errlll Reaches Top or Mt.
Hood in Quick Time.
GRESHAM. Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.) A
larpc party of G res ham people, who are
camping at Welch's, made the ascent of
Mount Hood on Sunday last. They
camped at the timber line on Saturday
evening, making the start bp the moun
tain t a:T0 o'clock next morning. One of
the party. Charles Merrill, went ahead of
the others without a guide and reached
the top at 9 o'clock and put his name la
the box on the summit.- This is the quick
est trip up Mount Hood ever recorded.
His actual time was 3& hours from the
timber line. Returning, he went down to
Crater Rock, where ho met the others
coming up. and then started back to the
summit, reaching it again at 10:45 o'clock,
ahead of all the others. A part of the
crowd only went a far as Crater Rock,
where they waited for the others to como
back. William Welch wont along as guide.
The others who made the summit were
Charles Merrill. Arthur Gulss. E. E. Sler
et. Lewis Shattuck. Nora Durell. Mary
Shattuck. Roy Schaffer. Theodore Brugger
and Fred Junker. The party started down
the mountain at 11:20 and arrived at
camp again at 1:30.
The party used the rope and ladders be
longing to O. C. Yokum, much against
the letter's will, and he threatens to pros
ecute them to the full extent of the law.
He wished to act as guide for the party,
but was not engaged, as Mr. Welch was
competent to fill that position. .
RAISED FLAG AT VANCOUVER
John B. Parker, Charter Member
Washington Lodge, at Rest.
Members of Washington Lodge. A. F.
and A. M., gathered at the Finley chapel
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock to pay a
tribute to the memor of John B. Parkr.
a charter member of that lodge, whose fu-
ert Hope, interment taking place at Lone
Fir Cemetery.
John B. Parker was born in Lexington.
Ky., 70 years ago, migrating when a boy
with his father's family to the Oregon
Country, and locating on the Columbia
Rivor at the point known as Parker's
Landing, which was established as the
family homestead. When the officers of the
Hudson's Bay Company left Vancouver
Barracks some miscreant cut the rope on
the flagpole, and Americans, who feared
that It had been done with the Intention
of later claiming the territory north of
the Columbia as British territory, were
alarmed lest the authority of the United
States Government was to be lost to their
section, hastened to unfurl again the star
ry banner to tho breeze. John B. Parker,
then a youth, climbed the pole to replace
the rope, and flag, an incident that Iden
tified him with the early history of the
locality. This incident was referred to by
Dr. Hope in his remarks.
Meteorite at the Fair.
The monster meteorite that was recently
found near Oregon City has arrived In
Portland and will be transferred to the
Exposition grounds some time today. The
huge stone weighs some IS tons and will
be hauled by some 15 or 20 horses. The
task of transferring this great weight In
tact to this city has been a gigantic one
and the meteorite will be sure to attract
many people, who arc curious as to the
nature of a shooting star. It will be on
exhibition at the Exposition grounds
today, but the exact locality Is not stated.
for It will be several days before It can
be installed in the Mining Building.
La Grande and Salem Elks.
The band that accompanied the La
Grande contingent of Elks and partici
pated in tho parade in this city was
credited as belonging to Pendleton. An
other notable feature of the parade was
the showing made by the Salem Elks.
which attracted much attention. Their
unique costumes as farm hands with big
straw hats decorated with clusters of
freshly-picked hops produced quite a
novel effect.

READY TO FIGHT
Special Policemen Resent the
Mayor's Action.
THINK RULES UNBEARABLE
Declare That Lane Is Trying to
Oust Them From Their Beats
to 3Iake Room for His
Democratic Friends.
Special policemen now holding commis
sions by virtue of the Lane Administra
tion have organized to fight for their
rights, and they claim they will not be
dictated off the earth by the powers that
be.
'That Mayor Lane wants to oust them
or drive them off the beats by making
rules that aro unbearable. Is the claim of
tho "specials." It Is alleged by them that
there are Democrats who covet their Jobs,
and that places are to be made for these
men. If possible. This, in short, Is the
grievance of the "specials."
A special . policeman stated yesterday
that he and his brethren of the force had
determined to pay no heed to Mayor Lane
and his cohorts, but to attend to busi
ness, as usual, doing the best they could,
and to resist to the bitter end encroach
ments upon their territory. He said that
reasonable rules, demands for discipline
and instructions from executives will be
acceptable to the "specials," but that they '
were organized to fight their cause to any
necessary lengths
AVill Fight If Necessary.
"Mayor Lane has demanded of us things
that we cannot grant," said the "special."
"He wants us to lay before him in writ
ing private affairs of our natrons. We
can't do It, and we will not do it. We
prefer to get along without trouble. If
possible, but if a nght Is necessary we
will fight. Mayor Lane can take our
stars; most of us will not lose enough
work by this to amount to anything."
"Specials" are employed as nightwatch-
men by whoever desires them, and are
paid whatever Is agreed upon between
themselves and their employers. There
lms been much trouble because of the
actions of some- of them, but In police
circles there are some of the old and
more experienced members of the force
who are regarded as good acquisitions to
the regular patrol service.
Trouble in the Past.
Unreliable mombers of the force have
made much trouble and may have been
dismissed from the service. Numerous
times, during past years. It has been al
leged by the regular patrolmen that
"specials" have somewhat Interfered at
times with, the best administration of
police business, and upon this ground
there has been considerable complaint.
The main source of trouble, It Is pointed
out. Is that "specials." being paid by
private individuals, such as saloonkeep
ers, for example, are bound to protect tho
interests of their employers In most cases.
to the detriment or hindrance of regular
police duty.
During past administrations, however.
there have been "spoclabi" and it is not
quite clear, some state, why Mayor Lnn
and his staff officers should seek to rid
the old men of their positions. to replace
them with new men. probably political
friends.
MAY NOW ISSUE WARRANTS
Another Bond Flection in St. Johns
Xot Considered Necessary.
Failure to sell bonds of St. Johns
because of inhibition of the charter,
will not likely be followed by another
election to authorize another Issue.
The provisions of the charter, provid
ing for the Issuing of bonds, only
allow for tho purchase of certain pub
lic utilities, including water, electric
lights, ferry, gas plants and similar
utilities, but makes no other provi
sions. The city cannot sell bonds with
