Tomorrow and then the end.
Saturday, the last day. Is to be made a
flttir.f climax -to Portland's great Fair.
It wll. be an occasion calculated to leave
a lastr-jg impression with those who at-.'
tend to pay their last respects. The at
tendance should be larger than on open
ing day or on the Fourth of. July. In
fact there should be nearly as many peo
ple on hand as there were on Portland
Day. The Exposition can hardly be
termed -the greatest possible success with
out a big closing-day demonstration on
the part of the public
For many days past the programme for
Saturday has been under consideration.
At this time one of the most elaborate
programmes since the opening of -the Ex
position has been arranged for and addi
tional features will be added today.
Every Building "Will Be Open.
Every building and every department
will be open from early In the morning
until late at night. There will be band
concerts every' hour of the morning, after
noon and evening and the various state
buildings will receive the public at In
formal receptions and muslcales. Special
closing exercises are being planned by a
majority of the state buildings.
The final closing of the Government
building will be doubly impressive. Its
career will be terminated with retreat
parade. An infantry trumpeter will
sound retreat, a field rifle will Are a
salute and the colors "will be lowered to
the impressive strains of "The Star
Spangled Banner."
Nightfall will bring on enlivening
scenes. The greatest spectacular event of
the Fair will take place on Guild's Lake
in the form-of a mimic naval battle. Ad
miral Oskar Huber will have the whole
Exposition Navy blown up at the end of
the battle with heavy charges of dyna
mite. The ships being of no further use
after the close of the Fair this means of
disposing of them was hit upon by the
Admiral.
The day will have a number of names.
It will be known as "Closing Day," "Officers-
and Stockholders' Day." "Press
Day," "Railroad Day" and "Multnomah
County Public School Day." The pupils
and students of schools throughout the
county, as "well as Clackamas. Polk and

Clark Exposition yesterday, more " than
2000 Knights of Pythias attending the
Fair from all parts of Oregon. As the
features of Pythian day were to take
place out-of-doors, the advent of rain
early In the afternoon was expected to
be a serious drawback.
But the members of this thriving and
growing order are not of the kind that
become disheartened because of a little
Oregon mist, and promptly at 2 o'clock,
as scheduled, the uniformed rank of the
Knights of Pythias marched through the
gates. After a short parade through the
grounds, they assembled in the large
plaza In front of the Oregon building,
where a competitive drill was held, which
was participated in by companies from
Astoria, Hubbard and McMlnnville. Here
they were also reviewed by Brigadier
General Atkln. of the Oregon Brigade,

ing the greatest percentage of member

Mlnnville team. No Portland teams were
entered, not having a membership of 2L
which Is the required number to enter in
the competitive drill.
Several thousand people saw the three
companies drill, and. while the teams
were almost equally matched, the decision
of the judges met almost universal ap
proval. The evolutions and sword drills
of the Astoria teanv were 'particularly
good. AH of the teams were greeted with
loud and continued applause when they
were drilling. Captains Murphy, Dunbar
and Smith, of the Oregon National Guard,
stationed at the Exposition, acted as
Judges.
The presentation of the prizes was made
by Grand Chancellor Marlon F. Davis, 6f
Union, who was elected to the office he
now occupies for the ensuing year Mon
day. After -his speech. Grand Chancellor
Davis presented the prizes. The members
of the three companies united In giving
three cheers for the grand chancellor and
for Brigadier-General'' Atkln. The com

In seeing the Exposition and la . hitting
the Trail.
Catholic Schools' Day.
Free admission will be granted today to
teachers and students of all Catholic
schools. The day has been designated as
Catholic schools' day and many students
are expected to take advantage of the
opportunity to sec the Exposition again.
Priests familiar with the faces of their
students will station themselves at the
pass gates to identify those seeking- free
admission.

There will be a special musical pro

& JOINT SESSION
Counsel Wants Circuit Court
to Sit en Banc.
IN REED WILL LITIGATION
Attorney Joseph Simon States That
' - WhnteverVcrdlct, 'Appeal' "Will
Be Taken' to the Supreme
Court of Oregon.
' V
A request that the four Judges of the
State Circuit Court of Multnomah County
sit In joint session and hear the trial of
the Amanda W. Reed will case-on appeal
from, the County Court, was made by
Joseph Simon, attorney for the estate,
yesterday morning. Mr. Simon said the
case would be appealed to the Supreme
Court no matter whether the contestants
or the estate won. Judge Frazer re
marked that In that event he did not see
why It was necessary for the four Judges
to sit In the case.
Mr. Simon responded. "If the four
Judges cannot afford to sit In an Import
ant case Hke this, I do not see how they
can take the time to sit together in any
case. My reason for making this request
is that the decision of the four Circuit
Judges would have great weight with the
Supreme Court,
Certain heirs of Mrs. Reed contested
the will on the ground that under the
California law not over one-third of an
estate can be devised for charitable pur
poses, and she left all the rest and residue
of the estate to found an institution of
learning to be known as the Reed Insti
tute. The contestants allege that at the
time of her death she was a resident of
Pasadena, CaL, and he estate therefore
subject to the provisions of the statute
of that state. County Judge Webster,
after hearing evidence, decided that Mrs.
Reed was a resident of Portland with a
Winter place In Pasadena. The amount
involved In the suit is about $500,000.
REASON FOR POSTPONES LENT
Attorney Declares He Wants to At
tend the Exposition.
"I desire to go to the Exposition with
my". family, and S. C. Spencer wants to
attend the Republican peace conference,"
said James Gleason, attorney, in Judge
Frazer's Court yesterday in asking for
the postponement of the trials of Henry
Clay Jordan and his son O. F. Jordan.
They are charged with having falsified
the books of the International Manufac
turing & Mining Company, of which
they were officers.
"I can try a lawsuit most any time,"
Mr. Gleason proceeded to ssy. "but there
are only three days of the Fair left and
my family want mc to go with them."
Judge Frazer looked astonished and
asked: "Is this the only reason for asking
a continuance? The court had a vaca
tion of two months and thcro was ample
time this Summer to enjoy the Fair."
"Oh. well," continued Mr. Gleason. "Mr.
Spencer, thp attorney on tho other side, j
win warn io nang arouna mc xtepuoncan
peace meeting and he won't care."
Mr. Spencer objected to a postponement
of the trial and Judge Frazer, who was
considerably amused, inquired, "Have you
no better reason than this tor postpon
ing?" . T
"No. that is the real reason," respond
ed counsel, "I asked Judge Shattuck once
to postpdne-a case and when I told hfm
I wanted to go to a horse race instead of
alleging sickness or a trial In another
court or absence of witnesses, he granted
the request, saying he desired to encour
age truthfulness among members of the
bar."
Tho -cases arc set for trial today and as
Mr. Spencer insisted that they be pro
ceeded' with, Mr. Gleason will probably
not be able to go ,to the Fair. Henry
Clay Jordan was convicted )n June last
of embezzlement of moneys of the In
ternational ' Manufacturing & Mining
Company, of which he was president, and
a motion for a new trial Is still pending.
Says Assessments Are Illegal.
"There is not a street improvement as
sessment that is legal." said Ralph Dunl
way, attorney. In Judge Frazer's Court
yesterdays Mr. Dunlway is constantly
contesting the validity bf assessments for
Improvements in the courts, and he
bel!e"es he is thoroughly informed on. tho
law governing such matters. He also has
had occasion many times to call tho at
tention of the courts to the imperfect
manner In which street work is frequently
performed by contractors.
"Thousands of dollars of illegal street
assessments have been paid," continued
Mr. Dunlway, "and It is time the public
learned this."
The .attorney was arguing the case of
the Portland Trust Company and George-
H. Cook and. others Involving the
improvement of Union avenue' and the
Improvement of Karl street.
"The price is generally high." said
counsel, "and the work 'poorly done, and
the assessment usually unequal. Property
not In the district will be levied on and
some in the district will escape assess

'Doris Klrth. who conductsv a store
at Williams avenue and Russell street,
was acquitted In Judge Frazer's court
yesterday of selling a 'package of to
bacco to Floyd Krouse, a boy 9 years
old. The boy testified that he bought
the tobacco from Mrs. Klrth. but he
did not tell a very straight story, and
Guy Roblnctte, his companion, failed
to corroborate him. Mrs. Klrth, her
husband. G. G. Klrth. X. M. Blrd.-O.

store.

HOG AW IS VERY RESTLESS
Man "Who Confessed Killing or Wo
man Cannot Sleep.
A cost candid, but very nervous man
is John D. Hogan. self-confessed slayer
of Mrs. Louise Jenklus, who walked
into police headquarters early Tuesday
evening and gave himself up. By an In
formation filed in the Municipal Court
yesterday by Deputy District Attorney
Adams, the prisoner is charged with
murder In the second degree.
Hogan is gr6aty disturbed because
of the fatal affair, which occurred Sat
urday night, and during all of Tues
day night ne slept very little. The
least noise would waken him, and he
was never found asleep when the sta
tion officers entered the jail.
Yesterday afternoon, Hogan posed
for a photograph. He was perfectly
willing- to sIL and said he had no rca
son to conceal anything. He candidly
tells of the affair that has landed him
in Jail, and which. If proved guilty, will
send him to the penitentiary for life.
As published yesterday, he maintains
the blow that killed Mrs. Jenkins was
John I. Hocaa, Who CoBfeMed to
Staring Mrs. Leake Jeaklas.
delivered in self-defense, and that ho
did not know she was dead until Tues
day night. He says he recalls quite
clearly the brawl mat enaea in tne
death, although he was slightly Intoxi
cated at the time.
Although Hogan claims the death of
Mrs. Jenkins was purely accidental, or
the result of a blow delivered in self-
defense, the state will attempt to prove
murder In the second degree. The pen
alty for this. If proved. Is life Impris
onment in the penitentiary.
Yesterday Hogan ei-Kaged the serv
ices of Attorney Samuel H. Grufcer, who
will defend the prisoner. Hogan. is from
Chicago, and is a stamp and dye man
by trade. He declined to make any
statement roncernlng nis family, and
would not say whether he was mar
ried.

What to See Again Before the Fair Closes
"TT N exhibit, small in number but
L vital In interest, should not be
lost sight of In the Transportation
building. It serves the same purpose as
examination by a non-expert of the ex
hibit on electricity. Side by side', or rath
er end to end, may be seen tho little "Ore
gon Pony;" the first locomotive brought
to Oregon in 1S62. and the immense new
Southern Pacific engine of 1005, ready to
take up Its wprk. Could there be a more
suggestive contrast, as roaming the pro
gress of forty-three years? It may well
be that this monster, which dwarfs a man
looking up Into the cab or standing by Its
eight drivers, instinct with power and
dormant energy, may have reached the
top mark of the steam locomotive. Very
probably by the time the next exposition
West of the Mississippi opens its doors
this may be a back number in sight of
its coming rival the electric locomotive.
On the way to the Government building,
and passing behind the Mining building,
stop for a moment and take note of the
advances made in concrete as the com
ing building material, occupying the
middle ground between the frame build
ing and the cut stone edifice which cost
so much. There are several exhibits of
machines, material, and finished product.
All in Portland are familiar with the
concrete basement for the new houses
rising on every side. Few have made ac
quaintance here with the possibilities of
the finished blocks of fine grained con
crete for the upper structure. In price
and appearance, as "well as In durability.
It compares favorably with' brick, when
used in corresponding grade of strength
and thickness.
Outside the bapk porch of the Idaho
building stand three -great blocks of
bituminous coal. Whoever In Oregon be
lieves In the early development of coal
fields in this state of superior quality
to the -lignite which Is so far the only
product of the rfines. tand whovthat
knows anytlfing of the geology of Oregon
Is faithless In this matter?) should not
pass these Idaho blocks without exam
ining them and specially noting the analy
sis attached to each. So will he have
a basis of comparison with samples from
Oregon veins which surely will come to
the front in early days to come.
Remembering what varieties of mineral
wealth are hidden In Oregon hills a last
look should be taken at the collections
from sister states. Idaho. Utah, Cali
fornia, ashlngton. This Is another of
the chances that will be lost when the
Fair gates close next Saturday night. It
has happened to many to run across in
their summes outings in the mountains.
or to have mysteriously unwrapped and
shown to them by some fortunate finder.
RAILWAY IAS CINCH
Wagons May Not Trespass on
Bridge Right of Way.
DRIVER BROSY CONVICTED
Knocked Down Brldgetcndef Who
Assaulted Him, Is Convicted In
the Municipal Court and
Loses on Appeal.
The Portland Consolidated Street Rail
way Company has exclusive right of way
In the center of the Morrison street
bridge, which drivers of delivery wagons
must respect or suffer the Consequences.
C. M. Brosy. a driver for the Union Laun
dry Company has become thoroughly con
vinced of this fact after two trials on a
criminal charge resulting from a differ
ence of opinion between him and J. H.
Frye. a bridge tender. The center of the
bridge Is reserved for the use of the car
company and on each side of the double
car tracks is a guard rail about four
Inches In height. The tracks and rails
occupy fifteen feet space and on each
side of the tracks Is a narrow roadway
for wagons. Brosy in August last was
driving across the bridge and to get out
of the way of two farm wagons had the
temerity to turn his horse Into the space
belonging entirely to the Portland Con
solidated Company and at once Mr. Fryc
got busy. He grabbed, the horse Brosy
was driving by the bit and proceeded to
Jerk the horse and to make Brosy under
stand that he was trespassing on the
place sacred for the use of the cars and
must move the rig in a hurry- Brosy
got off the wagon and says Frye struck
him and Brosy retaliated by striking
Frye, who fell and his head struck against
one of the guard rails. He sustained a
cut hear the temple. Frye testified that
he only pushed Brosy away, but F. W.
Larlson. a teamster for the Standard Oil
Company testified that Frye did strike
Brosy.
The ease was tried In Judge George's
Court yesterday on appeal from the Mu
nicipal Court where Brosy was convicted,
and fined $40. The Jury at noon yester
day returned a Tcrdlct finding Brosy
guilty of assault and battery and recom
mending him to the mercy of the court
which means that a low penalty be Im
posed. It came out In the evidence that
it was against the bridge rules for teams
to go on the space reserved exclusively
for. the trucks and cars. The court did
not declare against this rule or the guard
rails. Judge George held that reasonable
rules were proper and the guard rail wrs
not In dispute.
SAVINGS BANK EXPLAINS
Why the Coffey Check Was Turned
Down "No Funds."
PORTLAND. Oct. 11. (To the Editor)
We wish to make an explanation in re
gard to the publicity given to our bank
In connection with the nonpayment of a
check drawn by J. O. Coffey.
Mr. Coffey had a savings account In our
bank amounting to $10). which is not sub
ject to check. Nevertheless, he drew a
check In the amount of $100 and left the
city. The next day the check was pre
sented at our paying window and was
turned down for want of funds.
We have over TOOO Bavlngs depositors In
the bank, and when"checks are presented.
the paying teller has no time- to look over
the savings accounts, and is not supposed
to do so. Anyway, when Mr. Coffey's
check was presented, the paying teller
refused payment on account of no funds.
It seems that Mr. Coffey was then arrest
ed In Tacoma for obtaining money under
false pretenses, or something of that kind.
It seems that the check was presented a
second time, and the bookkeeper told the
party presenting the check that Mr. Cof
fey had no funds In a general account,
and. that If there was anything to his
credit In the savings department. It wa3
not subject to check.
While we feel very sorry for Mr. Cof
fey, there is only one rule to follow In
banking, and that Is written down In our
passbooks very plainly. Article 3. of our
savings passbook, reaos as louowsz "ue
Doslts may be withdrawn :by the depos
itor. cither personally, or by order In
some specimen that they may have soma
vague notion that they ought to recog
nize. But Its name and belongings, its
place in nature, its possible value, the
neighbors It Indicates, how ignorant are
most persons. Our eyes.are holden. All
this four months now past these diction
aries have been open to us. Here is a
borderland between absolute ignorance
and expert, knowledge, that can bo crossed
by any one, who has taken time and
some thought to educate himself in this
Exposition Into, at any rate, the primary
class of mineralogy.
Books are to most of us sealed the
language Is unfamiliar, the written de
scription we cannot identify but here has
been, and is for Just, three days more,
the chance to make a slight acquaint
ance by seeing. We cross this white
bridge of Nations Just this once more on
our way to the palace that the. nation
has built and filled for us. Can we pass
without learning by heart the features ot
this view, ours today, to be gone to
morrow? Tbe clearest blue vault over
head, the waters of the lake dimpling
under trie gentle breezes, the white build
ings of the fairy city on the hill spark
ling in the sun. the dark green of the
masses of fir-clad hills, the darker for
the shadows In which they lie, and In the
East tbe snow pyramids of Hood and St.
Helens so close they seem In the clear
air. As we pass, the airship rises from
its moorings, and mounts g;ntly In the
sunshine that dazzles every eye fixed on
It. The aeronaut, who has at this Ex
position won name and fame as the first
navigator of the air who has converted
experiment into successful practice he
steers his craft here, there, and about,
now higher, now lower, until every
movement and gesture Is plain to the
crowd of gazers below him. We take
count of the quickened revolution of the
fans at the head Of the strange ship,
and she responds at once. The white rud
der at the stern changes Its alignment
ever so slightly and the ship veers round
at once In ajiswer. So easy, so safe. It
looks that the sense of danger is not
present. Each wonders to his neighbor
if, by the time some other Exposition
opens its gates, rides In airships, or on
aeroplanes, will not be as open to the
visitor in search of excitement as the
chutes to the merrymakers, who plunge

lows: "At a final settlement of a deposit
account, the passbook must be returned
to the bank." Had Mr. Coffey complied
with these regulations, plainly printed In
his savings account book, he would have
saved himself aud ourselves all this trou

Coffey shows that he acted in good faith,
no doubt, and thought he had a right to
check against the account, but, after a
full explanation of the matter, as shown
by the letter, Mr. Coffey fully exonerates
the bank and its officials.

has been made in reference to the un
fortunate affair that terminated in ray
arrest. I beg to state that, at the time I
opened my account in the Oregon Savings
Bank I was not aware of the fact that I
was opening a savings account, and did
not know that it was a savings account
at the time I drew my check acainst
your bank. That, while I regret the re

mistake, and that your bank could not
have done other than they did. under the
rules and regulations in the passbook, in
refusing payment of the check, unless I
surrendered the passbook with It. and I
hold you absolutely blameless In the mat

UNIVERSITY CLUB HOME
WUili -MOVE PFUNDER RESI
DENCE TO ITS HOT.
With Site and Renovated Building,
the Cost Will Be Forty Thou
sund Dollars.
The purchase by the University Club
of the residence of Louis G. Pfunder, at
427 Washington street, completes that or
ganization's plans for having a perma
nent hom. The lot at the northwest
corner of West Park and Stark was sold
to tho club by H. W. Scott about six
months ago. and the Pfunder house,
which is commodious, will be removed to
this property at once after which it will
be thoroughly remodeled and- a large ad
dition built to it. It Is the intention of
the club council to make the new quar
ters as comfortable as possible and build
it strictly on club house lines. The pres
ent quarters In the Falling building havo
been only temporary and are 'not suited
to the needs of clubdom, so the prospect
of having a thoroughly equipped club
house Is most gratifying to the members.
The club house, when completed, will
offer all reasonable accommodations to
its members and will compare with any
club In Portland. The upper floor will
contain ten sleeping apartments, with
baths. On the main floor will be the par
lors or social halls, a large library, rest
rooms and office. The dining-room will
be on the main floor of the addition and
will bo designed in anticipation ot en
larged membership. The billiard and
pool rooms, bar and Turkish baths will
occupy the basement. By the time the
building is finished the new club head
quarters will represent an expenditure of
about $40,000. about $25,000 of this having
been paid for the lot. ,
The University Club has attained a
membership of 2C0 In the four years. It has
been In existence and It is one of tho
most exclusive organizations of the kind
In Portland, and the fact that all its
members are of necessity university men
places It on a high intellectual plane. Tho
foremost citizens of Portland are among
Its members and keenest Interest is taken
in the club's remarkable growth and In
its welfare.
Mr. Pfunders family expect to vacate
the house Just sold to the club by th
fifteenth of October if possible, and in
that event the removal of the building
will not be delayed but work begun at
.once.

Without the Government exhibit, the wide

One great object-lesson it is found to b

Here, then, in this series 'of models, and

waterfalls, dams, ditches, oefore our

It Is as well that Western people should
learn to value the magnificence of the for

what we know so Intimately with tha
counterfeit presentment of what is called
a forest in these Eastern and Middle
States. If they value the trivialities thera
remaining, how much more should not
be Jealous of our own splendid share In
the Nation's heritage?
The crowd fills also the exhibit from
Alaska and the Philippines, the children
smooth down the soft furs and wonder at
the trapper's spoils. These widely sepa

gether, and. I think, the teaching of tha
Philippine collection is largely lost.
But the hour strikes, and. unwillingly
the crowd Is pressed out from the great
building so full of value. The bridge Is
black with people, the cries, raucous and
loud, of the spielers along the Trail fill
the air, aid we take refuge from instruc
