16 THjS MORNING OREGQNIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1905. PORTLAND SEEKS SIG CONVENTION National Educational Associa tion Is Invited to Hold Session in This City. OFFICERS COMING TODAY President Schacfer and Secretary . Wilkinson Arc Making an In- . spectlon Trip to Determine 1900 Meeting Tlace. . Through the efforts of the Portland Commercial Glub it is probable that this city will be selected as the meet ing place of the next annual conven tion of the National Educational Asso ciation, to be held during'the month of July, 1906,, At the last session of this body at Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, N. J., Portland, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Los Angeles were aspirants for the honor of entertaining the coming convention. The association was unable to make a choice from among the competing cities and apointed as a committee to visit each of the rival cities and determine upon a meeting point, the president and the secrotary of the organiza tion, Nathan C Schaefer, of Harris burg, Pa., and J. N. Wilkinson, o Em poria, Kan. This committee is now making the rounds of the cities and will arrive this morning Jn Portland which is the last city to be visited. They will be met at the depot by Tom Richardson, man ager of the Commercial Club; J. H. Ackerman, State .Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Frank Rigler, Superintendent of the City Schools, who will constitute a committee to provide entertainment for them during their visit in Portland, which will last until tomorrow night. During this time they will be shown the attractions of the city, including the halls wheretne con vention will meet, if held here, and given an opportunity to meet the leud ing citizens at a reception or luncheon in the rooms of the Commercial Club, the details to be decided upon after their arrival. One of Greatest Conventions. The gatherings of the National Educa tional Association are the largest con ventions held in the United States by any organization. At the meeting held in Boston two years ago there was an at tendance of 87,000, wjiich was the -high-water mark of the 44 conventions that have been held. While the attendance here would not reach that figure, it is thought that the session would bring In the neighborhood of 20.000 visitors to this city. Every state In the Union would bo largely represented and the convention would be of untold benefit to Portland. The campaign by the Commercial Club to secure this convention has been in active progress for several months. An extended correspondence has been carried on with Eastern educators, all of whom have expressed their desire to visit this city. An advance canvass was made among local business men, who are will ing to furnish all the funds necessary to make It a success. Every inducement has been offered, and it, is confidently ex pected that the convention will come here. The project has been taken up with railroad men. who have done everything in their power to help Portland in lb efforts to secure this eotn-entlon. General Passenger Agent A. L, Craig, of the Har riman lines, has telegraphed from Chi cago that a special rate of one fare plus 52 for the round trip will be given, with tickets good for 90 days. This low rate would be available to all who wished to come, and would probably be the means of Inducing thousands besides the teach ers to visit the Northwest. With this rate in force it is not improbable that July and August of next year would be almost as lively as those two busy months during the Exposition period. City Ofrcrs Attractions. Portland is peculiarly well adapted to meet the demands which this gathering would make upon JU An auditorium seat ing 5000 persons would be necessary for the five evening sessions. In having the Armorj'. Portland is in a better position in this regard than any other city on the Pacific Coast It would also be easy to meet the requirements in furnishing 17 churches and halls to accommodate from S00 to 2000 persons each for the 17 depart ments, each of which will hold two fore noon sessions. It Is also necessary to guarantee the entertainment of 10,000 teachers at a very low rate. The fact that the great majority of these teachers are desirous of visiting the Northwest will be an added inducement in securing the convention for Portland. California has entertained the National Educational Association twice In the past, and there Is a general feeling now in favor of visiting the North Pacific Coast. "We have every possible Inducement to offer," said Toni Richardson, manager of the Commercial Club, last night, "and feel confident that the choice of the committee will be in favor of Portland. The visitors who have returned from the Lewis , and Clark Fair have been telling about Oregon and all who have written to us expressed a desire to see Oregon. The teachers will find the scenic beauty of the state unrivaled, and this alone will be a liberal education to them. As to the value of the meeting to this city, too much cannot be said." JAPAN'S ART -TREASURES Attract Thousands to the Fair Grounds Yesterday. Hundreds and hundreds of Portland's best people were made happy and con tented yesterday. At an early hour thoy began pouring into the Exposition grounds and filling up the Oriental building. The Japanese Art Admirers Society closed its labors and this Coast is the richer by thousands of dollars wtjrth of the art treasures of Japan. Extra guards were necessary to keep 'the Immense crowd in line. It was a tremendous crush and grows greater every day. All of the thousands of dollars' worth of really fine goods re maining will now be sold, this week, at auction. If you want a holiday pres ent for 25 cehts on the dollar you should not fall to patronize the sale of exhibits in the Japanese section of the4 Oriental building at the Lewis and Clark Fair. HONOR NELSON'S MEMORY British Seamen and Residents Cele brate Anniversary. Last night, in honor of the anniversary of the victory of Nelson at Trafalgar, at the Seamen's Institute, Front and Fland ers, a large and Jolly crowd of British seamen and residents of Portland assem bled. Patriotism was calling loudly and enthusiasm was at Its height. Within, the long room was appropriately decked with flags of nations, and at one end the plat form from which during the evening en joyable as well as Instructive talks, songs and lectures were heard. Rev. Mr. Ber nays, who Introduced J. E. Laidlaw. Brit ish Consul, who was toastmaster for the evening, said: "We are not gathered here tonight to crow over our magnificent victory, far from that;. rather we give thanksgiving to the Almighty God that for 100 years there has. been peace and not an invasion of our sacred land. Our enemies then are our friends now, so let this be a thanks giving. As one speaker compared the victories of Nelson with those "of Admiral Togo in tlie last war of history, cheers rang. The speakers were: Rev. Mr. Bernays, who spoke generally of the occasion for which they had congregated: Consul James El Laidlaw giving a short oration on "Nelson and What He Did"; Mr. Robert Living stone passed before the mind of the audi ence in panoramic way the many glories and the true manliness of Nelson; W. R. Mackenzie and Mr. Blackwell. president of the British Benevolent Association. There were several songs rendered by W. K. Scott and two piano selections by Mrs. Goff and Mrs. Hoben. respectively. The meeting concluded with singing of "God Save the King" and the "Star-Spangled Banner." $60,000 Picture, "Sistine Madonna," on Free Exhibition Daily, JO A. M.-12 M 2-5 P. M., 3d Fir.

Youths Who Secure Drinks or Cigar ettes by Misrepresentation Must Take the Consequences. Leniency will no longer be shown minors who enter saloons or disor derly houses, and who procure liquor or cigarettes. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald announced in the Municipal Court yesterday morning that in future vigorous prosecutions will follow in such cases. Formerly, it was the cus tom to take the proprietor of an estab lishment to task, use the boys or girls as witnesses against him and release mom after disposal of the case. "I am determined that minors who go Into prohibited places and. by false pretences, secure drinks or cigarettes, shall be prosecuted In the future." said Mr. Fitzgerald. "I will no longer tole rate or overlook their offenses, and all who come into this court hencefortli may expect to defend themselves. It is proper for the proprietors of establish- ments to be prosecuted with vigor in ' all these cases, but I have come to the conclusion that minors must also stand ; the consequences. Mans times boys and t girls enter saloons and declare their ages to be above 21 years, secure what they want and then when the man wno sold to them' is brought to book, they think by testifying against him they can escapee-punishment themselves. Tills will not be so any longer." The case at Issue, and which hroucht forth' the remarks from Mr. Fitzgerald, i was that wherein Preston Boozer, aged IS. and Frank Mack, aged IS years, fig ured. They were taken from the Elk saloon. Third and Yamhill streets, in an intoxicated condition. Sunday after noon. T. G. Bllgh. proprietor of the establishment. Is under arrest, charged wlLli selling them liquor. By a recent arrangomdnt, he is to be taken directly into the Circuit Court. Instead of Into the Municipal Court, whore Judge Fra zer will deal with such -matters. This is aimed to cut off hearings and ap peals from the lower tribunal, and to save time. - Otner saloonkeep6rs were in trouble yesterday. C. L. Cline. of the Green River Bar. opposite the City Hall, on Fifth street, was lined $35 for Tceeplng his doors open after 1 A. M.. and per mitting men to enter and drink. His place was raided by Captain Bailey, commanding the second relief of po lice, and a squad of patrolmen. The side door was broken open, as the pro prietor refused to admit the officers when they informed him of their busi ness. "Did you know the law?" asked Judge Cameron of William Kicnlan. charged with violation of the "closing" ordi nance. "Yes, I admit I did." replied the de fendant, who was arrested by a police man because he sold liquor at 2 A. M. "How can you expect the court to be favorable to you, when you deliberately break the law. Your fine is $25," said Judge "Cameron. "I just went -back into the salmon to get my overcoat." said Kienlan. "and those with me stepped in. I asked them to have a 'night-cap. and we were ar rested. It was my first offense." LOCKED UP DESPITE BLUFF tt Farrell Said He Would Cut Out Policeman's Heart. "I will cut the heart out of the first po llcoman who tries to take me." said W. Farrell, who was causing much trouble And disturbance In a residence at Four teenth and Marshall streets, late yester day afternoon. This threat did not deter Mounted Pa trolman Anderson, who was dispatched to the scene by Aotlng Captain Quinlan. The officer walked In and informed the irate Mr. Farrell that he was under ar rest, and not to try any butchery. A big knife, the property of Farrell, was taken from him without much trouble, and he was held until the arrival of a patrol wagon from headquarters. Farrell once attempted to escape, and in a fight that followed tore the officer's trousers. He was finally subdued and locked up. He is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. Farrell was a stranger to the people who lived in the house, and when he walked In he was requested to leave. He declared that he had been there but a short time previously, and said that he had lost a glove. When he refused to obey the demand to depart, the police were notified. ' NIGHT SCHOOLS AT WORK Preliminary Organization Is Ef fected and Pupils Enrolled. The three free night schools of Port land met last night for a short session and began the work of the Winter months. Nothing was done beyond form ing a preliminary organization, but the teachers expect to have the regular class room work well under way before the end of the week. About 75 pupils were present at the High School where the work will-be in charge of Professor Ed gar A. Mllner. It Is expected that the enrollment will, be much Increased within the next few days, and five assistant teachera have been employed. The branch night school which has formerly been held at the Hawthorne building will meet this yeai at the Sunnyside School. At present H. R. Wlnchell has .sole charge of the work but an assistant will probably, be re quired. There were 37 In attendance last evening and two classes were formed. The third school meets In the Williams avenue building and is under the direc tion of B. E. Hughson and one assistant What are the people buying? "Glimpses of Lewis and Clark Exposition.
