3IOW ."JUDGE WEBSTER WOULD
EMPLOY PRISONERS.
r.illtt fllfl Will nf Stflti lllfll-
way as Far as the Cal
ifornia Xlne.
County JudRC Lionel "Webster . spoke
very oncourHBlngly4 about the plan to
build a macadamized road from Portland
to the California line by.convict'labor. at
a meeting of the Christian Union at the
First Unitarian Church Chapel last night.
His subject was "Bfllclency of Convict
Labor for Building- Koaas. une wnris
tlan Union Is a philanthropic organization
and all the members who were present
last night were very much interested in
Judge Webster began with the very first
agitation to have the convicts employed
to build a road across the state. He told
of the commission that had been appoint
ed to investigate the feasibility of the
proposed project, and said that all of the
members were in favor of the construc
tion of the road. He said a bill would be
presented at the next Legislature to pro
vide for the use of the convict labor for
this purpose, and he has very high hopes
that It will become a law.
He ppoke of the great advantages of the
road, saying that It would be a great
attraction for tourists and that It would
bo very convenient for the farmers. H
ndded that if this road was built it
vould, be. each a great success that &e
thought before many years the state
would be interlaced with similar highways
built by convict labor.
He laid stress on the fact that if the
convicts were worked on the road
they would in no way come in competi
tion with free labor, aw they would Ce
working at something which otherwise
would not be done. He said the labor
element was very' much In favor of the
project, and would do all within Its power
to carry it through to a successful con
clusion. Besides, Judge "Webster thought outside
work was very heneflcial to the convicts
from a -humanitarian standpoint, was bet
ter than keeping them confined in the
Penitentiary. He thought the convicts
who refused to work should be starved
Into submission. Judge "Webster has
taken a great Interest In the work of
helping the convicts and criminals to
help themselves, but Is a firm believer In
discipline.
MUST BRING THEIR PAPERS
Forcljrn-Born. Citizens Must Give
Proof Before Registering-.
Foreign-born citizens must bring:
their citizenship papers when they call
at the office of the County Clerk to reg
ister. The law requires the production
of citizenship papers and while some
electors have been registered by the
clerk's referring- to the registration of
the elector two years ago, this cannot
always be done, and the time consumed
in looking up all registrations is some
times considerable and causes others in
line tc have to wait. County Clerk
Fields says ho will insist upon the ex
hibition of citizenship papers in the
jfutureL

EXPOSITION' DIRECTORS HAVE
WORK TO C03IPLETE.
Must First Secure Relcahcs From
Claims of Owners or the
Fair Site Property.
Pending further arrangements with the
owners of property within the Exposition
site to secure releases from any claims
that might be presented, the directors of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition Corpora
tion postponed a final dissolution of the
organization at yesterday's meeting. The
corporation will not be actually dissolved
until details in connection with the leases
are settled, and this will take several
days.
There was a big attendance of stock
holders at the meeting in the Adminis
tration building yesterday. The report of
President Goodc on the receipt and ex
penditures of the big Exposition was read
and adopted. Then the resolution author
izing dissolution of the corporation was
read and carried. The business was
transacted In about 15 minutes. Before
adjournment a resolution was offered by
"Whitney L. Boise and seconded by A. B.
.Stelnbach. expressing the appreciation of
the stockholders for the successful man
agement of the Exposition by the offi
cials and directors. It was adopted unan
imously. The meeting of tho directors followed,
and was attended by 1 members of tho
"board. The report of President Goodo
was submitted and adopted, and Secretary
Reed gave his final report giving the de
tails of the financing of the Fair. In
closing he stated that prior to the open
ing of the Exposition on June 1. 1506. H02.
CT.50. or nearly K!i per cent, was paid In.
The directors decided to postpone the
resolution of final dissolution ami the dis
tribution of surplus funds until formal
releases of the grounds covered by the
Exposition are secured from the owners
and the meeting was adjourned until thn
releases are secured Certain details only
are yet to be arranged and It Is believed
this work will be accomplished early next
week. It 1st likely the final meeting of
the directors will be called at that time
to declare formally the Exposition cor
poration a thing of the past.
TO BUILD ELEVATED ROAD
County Commissioners Reach Agree
ment With Portland Railway.
The County Commissioners' Court yes
terday agreed to pay $7SM to the Portland
Railway Company for the construction of
a new elevated roadway on the Oregon
side adjacent to the Vancouver ferry. The
railway company has just finished a new
railroad line to Vancouver, and will estab
lish a new ferry route about a half of a
mile west of the old ferry. The old coun
ty road connected with the old ferry, and
It Is "necessary as a matter of convenience
that It shall connect with the new ferry.
The old road is worn out. and would have
to be rebuilt soon. The railway company
will maintain the new. roadway, provide
guards, railings, etc. and furnish a 30-foot
right of way for teams.
The price originally asked from the
county was 14.C, but this was thought
too much, and a compromise was finally
effected by an agreement for the county
to pay 720

.16 and 20 years, began a three days'
scries of examinations In the Federal
building yesterday, as a result of
which one of them will receive an ap
pointment to a cadetshlp In the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The examination Is given at the re

of exercising his prerogative and mak
ing an appointment of anyone he de
sired, turned the matter over to the
civil service department, which Is giv
ing a competitive examination in
which the most proficient candidate
will receive the Senator's appointment.
Five of the young men who are tak
ing the examination are residents of

The examination is given by F. R.
Blnslejr under the direction of Z. A.
Leigh, secretary of the local branch of
the civil service. It is considered a
hard test, containing separate sets of
questions upon each of the followinff
subjects: Punctuation and capitals,
English grammar, general geography,
Unlced States history, modern hlstory
spelllng. arithmetic, elementary alge
bra and geometry. In addition to thi
test, the successful candidate will havi

NO WOMAN DETECTIVES
Chief of Police Grltzmachcr Says lit
Needs Xonc.
There Is no necessity for a .woman de
tective, as some interested persons claim,
according to a statement made by. Chief ol
Police Grltzmachcr last night, and nc
recommendation for one will be made by
him. It Is said the agitation in this
direction has been started In the interest
of a certain, woman who wishes the po
sition, which, if created, would carry with
It $00 a month, as this is the regular sal
ary paid to members of the detective
staff.
It has been suggested by some persons
who are said to be fostering the cause
of a certain woman, that there is great
need for a woman detective, who would
be assigned to care for women prisoners
and to handle special cases, but Chief
Gritzmacher says this is untrue.
