WITH MONITOR
MO MERRIMAC
Another Naval Engagement to
Be Fought Out on
Guild's Lake.
AS CIVIL WAR SPECTACLE
Cumberland and Congress Will Par
- iticlpate (In Sea Battle and Will
Be Destroyed During
the Fight.
Although the dove of peace has cast Its
ehadow over the Japanese and Russian
plenipotentiaries, the war spirit Is ram
pant at the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Several battles have been fought at the
Fair, both naval and land engagements,
but the officials and soldiers are still crav
ing for blood, and have refused all over
tures of peace with scorn. So far two
forts have capitulated at the Exposition,
and several battleships burned and torpe
doed during the terrific sea fights that
have taken place on Guild's Lake, but the
war dogs are not satisfied, and have
planned for another naval engagement
next Monday night, for the entertainment
of the men who work, as Monday is Labor
day.
The fall of Fort Moro. at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition proved so successful
last Thursday, receiving the warmest ap
probation of the thousands of spectators
who witnessed It. that the management
has decided to reproduce the famous duel
between the Merrlmac and the Monitor.
This production will eclipse all previous
efforts, even far surpassing the magnifi
cent naval battle of last week. It will
not only be on a larger and grander scale,
but will be the most realistic and histor
ically -correct naval battle ever produced
in "the world.
Entire Fleet Engaged.
Besides the Merrlmac and the Monitor,
an ontire fleet, fashioned after the war
ships used in the Civil War, will be built
to take part in the engagement. Fort
Moro, which still stands in the center of
the west end of Guild's Lake, will not be
utilized In the coming naval engagement
of Monday night. About 500 soldiers will
take part In the battle. The different mil
itary bodies to take part are the Tenth
United States Infantry, which is stationed
on the Government Peninsula, the Centen
nial uGard, and Battery A, of the Oregon
National Guards. Oskar Huber presides
as Admiral over the naval preparations,
and the battle will be produced under his
direct supervision. As he occupied the
same capacity at the Fall of Moro, the
duel between the Merrlmac and the Mon
itor is assured of a brilliant success.
As far as is known at the present. It is
planned to have the Merrlmac and the
Monitor open the battle at precisely 9
o'clock. Assurances are given that there
Tvill be no delay. The Monitor will be sup
ported In the battle by the wooden battle
ships, the Congress and the Cumberland,
and other warships of the old-fashioned
types. The Merrlmac and the Monitor
will carry heavy cannon, and will fight at
close range.
Features of Engagement.
At the opening of the engagement, the
Merrlmac will direct part of its fire upon
the wooden ships, setting the Congress
afire, causing it to burn to the water s
edge. Both the Merrlmac and the Mon
itor will be navigable, and will maneuver
about the lake, as will the Congress and
the Cumberland. After about 30 minutes
of a terrific cannonade, the Merrlmac will
show signs of distress and start to re
treat closely followed by the Monitor. The
last few shots of the Confederate Ironclad
will be directed at the Cumberland, which
will be blown to pieces by the explosion
of its magazine. The blowing up of the
Cumberland will serve as the climax of
the battle.
Oskar Huber, director of works at the
Exposition, and Admiral of the Guild's
Lake fleets of war craft. Is highly elated
over the prospects of the coming naval
battle. He says he confidently expects
that not less than 50,000 people will wit
ness the engagement, and intimates that
this Is a low estimate. He says that the
last battle so greatly pleased the people
that the whole of Portland will be at the
Exposition Monday night.
IIS EXECUTIVE SESSION
HEALTH BOARD SUPPOSED TO
WANT DR. ZAX'S SCALP.
Health Officer Matson Says Uncom
plimentary Things of Superin
tendent Robinson.
'A special meeting of the City Board of
Health was held last night, at which it
was anticipated that there might be fur
ther decapitations in connection with va
rious municipal positions, but the body
went Into executive session without open
ly announcing any such action, the Mayor
explaining that they wished privately to
consider some expense accounts.
It is believed, however, that City Phy
sician Zan has been marked for dismissal,
and that Superintendent Robinson, of the
garbage crematory, will also have to go,
as Mayor Lane stated that Secretary Mc
Pherson, of the Civil Service Commission,
had complained about the City Physician
being too busy with private matters to
take up the physical examination of eli
glbles before the commission, thus work
ing a Hardship on many applicants, while
Health Officer Ray Matson also got out
his little hammer for Superintendent Rob
inson by accusing him of gazing too fond
ly upon the flowing bowl. According to
Dr. Matson, Robinson has only been at
the crematory about two hours during the
past week, most of his time being passed
at a saloon in the vicinity of Fifth and
Stark streets.
It developed also that ten men were now
employed at the crematory where the
work was formerly performed by five, and
that at least two more laborers will be
required to meet the conditions Incident
to the Increase of work caused by the
Fair. Dr. Matson stated that the garbage
was piling up at a frightful rate, and
pictured conditions as worse than ever
before.
In response to an Informal recommenda
tion from the City Council, the Health
Board instructed Dr. Matson to have the
scavenger wagons separate the ashes and
tin cans from the rest of the garbage
and dump It In the fills on the East Side
hereafter, the Idea being to relieve the
crematory as much as possible.
The question came up relative to bar
rage wagons perambulating the streets
at all hours in a leaky and exposed con
dition, and it was recommended that pro
vision be made Xor the ciy to acquire
wagons of special design calculated to
obviate these difficulties.
In reference to the slough on the East
Side that was uncovered by the recent
fire and destruction of the elevated road
way, the Mayor said that it ought to be
drained, and pointed out that as long
ago as August 11 he had called City
Engineer Wanzer'a attention to the situa
tion, telling him be ought to clean it
out, but that Waireer had neglected to
do anything, until finally the fire had
occurred and everybody's attention was
attracted to the green waters from Haw
thorne springs. After the fire Wanzer
was alleged to have sent several men
there, but the Mayer stated that he had
Investigated their work and found It
of the "punk" order, claiming that tne
slough had only been lowered eight or
nine inches when It should have been
decreased several feet. The Mayor then
went into an explanation of the matter,
and displayed such an intimate knowl
edge of mud and slime, and the methods
necessary to drain the slough, that the
Health Board recommended the Health
Officer to employ three or four men and
go ahead and clean it out, together with
Sullivan Gulch at the same time, it being
suggested also that the railroad company
might assist In the latter undertaking.
Mayor Lane suggested tiling for drain
age purposes in preference to the ordin
ary culverts, and his ideas prevailed.
It appeared that the slough Is fed from
a large spring arising about 100 feet
south of Hawthorne avenue near the
park, and that It has a flow of fully 250.000
gauons a aay, awurumb lu j
estimates.
HIS VIEW IS DIFFERENT
Bonaparte Disagrees With Benning
ton Court of Inquiry.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Secretary
Bonaparte has Just completed a thorough
examination of the record of the pro
ceedings of the court of inquiry in the
case of the disastrous- boiler explosion
on the U. S. S. Bennington at San Diego.
Cal., July 21 last, and will announce his
action in a day or two.
It is understood that he does not agree
with the court in several of its conclu
sions in the matter of the Individual
responsibility of various officers and men
of the vessel for the conditions which
resulted In 'the explosion.
In accordance with the recommendatldn
of the court, Mr. Bonaparte has decided
to convene a court-martial in San Fran
cisco for the trial of Ensign Charles T.
Wade, who was in charge of the engi
neering department of the Bennington at
the time of the explosion, on the charge
of neglect In performance of his dutloa
for having failed to see that the safety
valve on boiler B was overhauled at the
proper time and kept In good working
order, and also for having failed to keep
the sentinel valves on the boiler in good
working order.
Falling Snag Crushed Skull.
CENTRALIA, Wash.. Aug. 29. Guy
Jackson, a Tenino boy, who was hurt In
a logging camp last Friday, now stands
some chance of living. Jackson had
his skull crushed and a triangular piece
of the skull was taken out and with it
a portion of his brain by Centralia
physicians. He is now getting better
and hopes are entertained that he may
eventually get welL
The boy was giving signals for a
donkey engine, when he was struck by
a falling snag which had been hit by
a tree which the loggers were falling.
The injury to his head was practically
the only one that he experienced.
Bubonic Plague on Canal Zone.
NEW YORK. Aug. 29. One case of bu
bonic plague Is officially roported from
La Boca, according to a Herald dispatch
from Panama. In a building where the
victims lived 150 men also were found in
the sleeping quarters. Sixty of that num
ber are under observation with slight
fever, thought to be malaria. No quaran
tine has been imposed, but the exposed
men are In detention. The physicians in
charge do not anticipate a spread of the
disease.
Mission Relates to' Land Frauds.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Aug. 29. It became known today
that W. Scott Smith, private secretary to
Secretary Hitchcock, started for Port
land last Saturday night on a secret
mission. Mr. Smith left without announc
ing his destination and officials of the de
partment disclaim knowledge of his ob
ject in going West. It is surmised that
Mr. Smith's trip to Portland has a bear
ing on the coming land-fraud trials that
will be resumed early next month.
ATTENDANCE PASSES MILLION
AND A HALF MARK.
"With over Ix weeks more to run,
the total admissions of the Lewis ana
Clark Exposition reached the million
and a half mark yesterday afternoon.
The turnstile? registered l,r00.OO& ad
missions a little before 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The total attendance
at the Exposition to date is 1.508.178.
Abjodc the officials and those inter
ested In the Exposition, the consensu
of opinion is that the admissions will
easily reach a total of 2,000,000 within
three weeks. This would take an aver
age of a trifle more than 22,000 admis
sions dally. The average dally atten
dance for the next four or five weeks.
It Is thought, will greatly exceed these
figures. It has been predicted by good
authorities that the attendance will
take a slump during the last few
weekst
F. B. Davison, chief of the admis
sions department, estimates that the
total attendance for the entire Export,
tlon will not be lees than 2.300.000. If
the weather continues to be favorable,
be is Inclined to believe that the ad
missions will slightly exceed three fig
ures. Mr. Davison Is of the opinion
that there will be a perceptible decrease
In the attendance during the last two
weeks of the Exposition, which he nays
will be nothing unusual, the sane con
dition having been experienced by near
ly all other world's fairs.
Mr. Davison thinks the people of
Portland deserve a great deal of credit
for the patronage- they have accorded
the Exposition. Some persons have
been complaining about the Portland
people showing a lack of interest in the
Fair, but Mr. Davison does not think
that thia is the case. To substantiate
hU statements in this respect, he re
fere to statistics. He says the atten
dance at the Lewis and Clark Expos),
tlon baa been almost without prece
dent, considering the population of
Portland and the surrounding country
He says the Portland people have been
loyal to their Exposition, and that the
large attendance Is partly due to their
liberal patronage.

services as a sort of agent in settlement
of the suit that had been brought against
the Consolidated Railroad Company, there
was nothing In the evidence adduced to
indicate that any looting of the estato
had taken place, or to Justify extravagant
expressions concerning the acts of either
Administrator Scott, Attorney Rlddell or
Court Clerk- Jay Upton, who was ac
cused of having "stood In" on the deal
to have Scott appointed administrator
and Rlddell attorney for the estate.
A great deal of extemporaneous matter
was considered by the court, more for
the purpose of permitting Ituifln to ex
plain his position In the premises than
anything else, as Judge Webster an
nounced that he could take no official
cognizance of any proceeding that did
not relate to the administration of the
estate, intimating that while the dead
man's heirs might enter Into as many
agreements as they saw fit In connection
with the payment of fees for securing
compromise of litigation with the rail
way company and for other purposes, he
would hold the administrator of the es
tate to a strict accounting of all money
received by him.
Contracts "With Attorneys.
It appeared from the testimony taken
that young Johnson came out here from
Wisconsin soon after his brother's death
and made various contracts with Rufiln
and Attorney Rlddell about bringing a
damage uit against the corporation. It
being finally arranged that Rufiln should
take 50 per cent of the amount received
from that source, he in turn, dividing his
share of the proceeds with Rlddell.
It appears that Claims Agent Elmer E.
Mallory. of the railway company, after
ascertaining that the court .had appointed
Scott as administrator and Rlddell at
torney for the estate, entered Into nego
tiations for a settlement, pending which
Rufiln appeared with a contract signed
by young Johnson, who also held a power
of attorney from his father In Sweden,
authorizing him to take one-half of what
ever he could get by a compromise. As
Riddell's contract called for a similar di
vision of the proceeds of this suit, it was
finally agreed that Rlddell and Ruffin
should pool their Issues and each take
an equal amount of the 50 per cent fee.
whereupon Mallory paid over the J2500
agreed upon, and of this sum $750 was
given to Rufiln by Rlddell.
On the witness stand young Johnson
developed quite a tendency to understand
English and speak It fluently when his
interests required It, and to become sud
denly oblivious to its meaning when
things Went the other way. He was cer
tainly a good witness for himself, but It
Is questionable whether the court will
pay much attention to his plea that he
did not know what he was doing when
he signed the three agreements with
Rufiln, besides various other papers and
documents.
Judge "Webster's Statement.
Judge Webster stated from the bench
that he never knew anything about the
settlement with the street railway com
pany until the present proceeding was
instituted. He admitted that the testi
mony had taken a wide latitude, and said
that testimony heretofore Introduced in
the case had shown that Rufiln had been
Instrumental In overreaching the estate
in a most reprehensible way, while. let
ters of record indicated that a man
named Erlckson was a sort of runner for
Rufiln. with the evident purpose of get
ting the young man in the latter's con
trol. The Judge stated further that Ruffin
had called upon him Monday and wanted
to explain matters, but he declined to
accept any statement from him unless In
open court. He said also that the con
tract upon the 00 per cent basis was
predicated upon the theory that there
would be Borne difficulty In getting the
money out of the Consolidated Railroad
I Company for carnages, and announced.
that he would set aside any such order.
"Whether I shall ratify anything re
mains to be seen," were the significant
terms he employed.
The proceedings this morning are ex
pected to be of a sensational character.
OUST LADD IS PETITION
(Continued from First Pae.)
a trust deed to W. M. Ladd, which was
also signed by his wife. Cordelia Johnson.
The petition filed yesterday in the County
Court seta forth that real estate to the
value of J3S1.250 and shares of stock
of the Union Meat Company, appraised
at 537,830. the total value of the property
being $122,100, was deeded to Mr. Ladd,
the desire of Mr. Johnson being to make
provision for the payment of his Indebt
edness, one item of which was the 51S9.128
due Ladd & Tllton. This deed gave Mr.
Ladd the power to sell and Incumber the
property, upon the trust only that he
should apply the net proceeds to liquidat
ing Johnson's indebtedness. 'The residue
of the property, after the payment of
the debts, was to be returned to Johnson
or his heirs. In the trust deed Mr. John
son declared:
"The conveyances have been made, and
this declaration of trust Is made and de
livered to said Willlant M. Ladd, In full
confidence of his ability and Integrity.
and with the express desire to avoid
proceedings by foreclosure or otherwise.
In the court
Mr. Ladd was to get "the customary
or usual compensation to be allowed sold
trustee for his services performed."
After this trust deed had been made
and the property conveyed to, W. M.
Ladd. the petitioners state that there
still remained of the estate real and per
sonal property to the value of $370. -452. 27.
Upon the death of Mr. Johnson, his wife.
j Cordelia Johnson, was appointed to ad
minister the estate, and, upon her death,
she was succeeded by W. M. Ladd on
September 9, 1S9S.
The petitioners make the direct charge
that Mr. Ladd has violated the conditions
of the trust deed. The statement Is made
that he has entirely failed to provide for
the payment of the indebtedness, against
Mr. Johnson from the trust property
deeded to him. The accusation Is also
made that he has allowed all of the in
debtedness, amounting to S2CS.CC6.01 (In
cluding the Ladd & Tllton claim) to be
filed and established as legal claims
against the residue of the estate, not In
cluded In the trust deed. It is alleged
that Mr. Ladd. In his dual capacity as
trustee and administrator, has been act
ing specially in the Interests of himself
and the firm of Ladd & Tllton, which firm
the petitioners describe as being engaged
in a general banking business "chiefly in
loaning money at the highest rate of in
terest permitted by law."
The petitioners also declare lhat Mr.
Ladd did not Include In the inventory of
the estate any of the trust property, but
on the other hand claims to be the abso
lute owner of all the real property con
veyed to him thereby. It Is urged that
more than 11 years have passed since the
property was conveyed to him, and that
he has failed to perform the conditions
Imposed upon him in the trust deed, that
the indebtedness still remains against the
estate, with the exception of a small por
tion thereof, which was paid under execu
tion sale and at a great sacrifice of realty
not Included In the trust property. The
charge is also made that the administra
tor Is purposely prolonging his adminis
tration of the estate In the Interest of
himself and his banking firm.
Say Estate Has Dwindled.
That the administrator has neglected
and mismanaged the estate so that It has
greatly diminished in value. Is another
charge. His inventory on September 3.
1S93, showing property to the value of
J1E9.414, while on March 23. 105. his sixth
report shows the amount due the estato
at $94,948. It Is set forth that he has
conducted valuable farms in Washington
County at a loss, when if managed by a
practical farmer much profit might have
accrued to the estate. The petitioners
make this statement: "That unless the
administrator is removed and some com
petent, trustworthy person Appointed In
his stead to settle up the affairs of the
estate, the Indebtedness and accruing In
terest therein, coupled with the manipu
lation, neglect and mismanagement of the
administrator will soon entirely absorb
whatever remains of the estate. Including
the property conveyed to William M.
Ladd in trust."
The petitioners state that .the valuable
Reedville farm. In Washington County,
has been operated at a loss of S0000, when
if properly managed it Is capable of pro
ducing large profits. It Is also asserted
that Mr. Ladd received as a part of the
assets of the estate a City of Portland
warrant for $250. which warrant was ap
praised in the inventory as of no value.
It is alleged that this warrant was later
sold for $200. which was credited . to the
administrator's account and deducted
from the balance chargeable against him
as administrator. It is also stated that
he neglected to Include in bis inventory
accounts due the estate amounting to

When the people of Portland and of Ore
gon conceived the Idea of celebrating the
anniversary of the explorations of Cap
tains Lewis and Clark It was with the
purpose in view of exploiting the Oregon
country. That this has been well and
effectively done at the Exposition all are
satisfied, although with Its attendant re
sponsibilities and absorbing duties devolv
ing upon every class of citizenship. It is
felt generally that Oregon has made a
great success of the first steps In attract
ing interest of the country, and already
the methods to be pursued in what ad
vertisers call "follow-up work" Is being
considered.
Railroads Are Advertising.
Passenger departments of the railroads,
always foremost In exploitation- work, are
awake to the necessities of the future and
planning how they will take advantage
of the awakened Interest in Oregon. Com
mercial bodies are harmoniously Joined on
this proposition, and all stand ready to
do their share In assisting people of the
different sections to reap the harvest, the
seed for which has been sown in the llb
ral spirit in which exhibits have been
provided and maintained, and persons fa
miliar with the different districts sta
tioned at the Exposition to disseminate
Information to visitors.
The railroads have done an enormous
amount of the best kind of exploitation
by the special rates granted visitors de
siring to make trips to Interior points and
permitting stopovers at all points on the
lines of passengers holding round-trip
tickets. Thousands of stopover checks
have been issued on both the O. R. Sz N.
and Southern Pacific lines, and the privi
lege of stopping off to view the country
has been advertised liberally, both by
publication and on the trains to Induce
the largest possible number to embrace
the opportunity.
Exploitation of Oregon.
President W. D. Wheelwright, of the
Chamber of Commerce; President H. M.
Cake, of the Portland Commercial Club.
and officers of the other commercial
bodies of Portland, have given much of
their time to discharge of the social obli
gations that devolved upon the Portland
public, for which Portland business men
and citizens have contributed very large
sums, all of which has redounded to the
credit of Oregon and exploitation of the
commonwealth. Tom Richardson, man
ager of the Commercial Club, and secre
tary of the Oregon Development League, .
In response to a question as to what will
be done following the Exposition and dur
ing the remaining weeks, declared that
plans are already being formulated that
will fully demonstrate that Oregon people
propose to follow up the exploitation of
the Fair by securing results of material
character that are bound to result. Mr.
Richardson said:
"It Is not easy for persons who have
not been in touch with the situation in
Portland during the Fair to comprehend
how much has come up to occupy the at
tention of our people In serving the In
terests of Oregon. I observed that R. T.
iJonts. of Toledo, makes some pertinent
suggestions in u. cQmraumcauuii in iuc
Oregonlan. He makes them In that broad
and wholesome spirit of public Interest
that Is gratifying, and which Is to be
reckoned with In making the most of the
developments growing out of what has
been done In the way of exhibiting pur
resources. He says: "Excursion trains
should be run out of Portland every day
to some portion of Oregon."
Business Interests to Co-Operate.
"This is true, and the business Inter
eats of Portland would be glad to co-operate
with the people of the communities
through which such trains would run In
helping In every way to make these trips
a success, but the failure of one or two
of these excursions through lack of prop
er advance work and thorough co-operation
on the part of the communities In
terested, as well as the railroads backed
by the business interests here, would re
sult in discouragement and not only lose
money for the railroads, but dishearten
the active business men interested In
making such an attempt.
"Thousands of people who have visited
the Exposition will return to make their
homes In Oregon and other portions of
the Pacific Northwest. A talk to the
active men who have charge of the
county exhibits of Oregon would amaze
anyone as to the Interest that has been
manifested. I know personally a great
many men who are coming out Irr this
direction, and I am glad to sav that
among those who have talked to- me I
many more will locate in other portions j
of Oregon than are planning to come to
Portland.
Liberal Discussion Beneficial.
"Liberal, fair-minded discussion like
that of Mr. Jones will certainly bring
good results. Portland business men are -
selfish like those of other cities, and ;
they would be very unwise If they were
to urge people to locate here rather than I
In other points of the state. I
"They have, of course, had- financial ob-
ligations as well as those of a social ;
character. As near as d can estimate.
$135,000 has been raised for the enter
tainment and proper handling of conven
tions alone. Vast sums of Portland
money were put Into different features
of the Exposition, and a great amount
of money Invested In hotels and rooming
houses, all of which is exploitation of
Oregon In a very strong sense.
"Some Idea of the great work that has
been accomplished here and which must
not be forgotten, can be had by consider
ing the distribution of literature. The
commercial bodies, the Exposition man
agement and the citizens have sent out
millions of pieces of printed matter, and
all of It has been devoted to -Oregon. I
am informed that In excess of four mil
lions of postal souvenirs have been dis
tributed. I would not attempt to make
an estimate as to the extra copies of The
Oregonlan that have been mailed out by
visitors, but I know It Is very large.
"The next few year? which follow the
Exposition will show that we have sown
good seed, but the pivotal point is that
we should work now and not delay In
doing what we can to distribute peopla
over this state."
