Dr. Shaw Says Candidates
Will Mind Babies.
WITTY REPLY TO QUESTION
Committee Reports at the Equal Suf
frage Conference Show What
Has Been Done for the
Cause in Oregon.
Committee reports at the equal suf
frage conference yesterday brought
many facts to light regarding the con
dition of the campaign and the
strength of the suffrage forces through
the state. It was announced in one re
port that there were 189 organized
campaign committees In various parts
of Oregon with a working membership
of nearly 5000 women. Practically all
of thse committees were represented
at the conference, and it is claimed
that many of them have members who
have not hen listed at headquarters.
So far there have been only six regu
lar lecturers in the field, but three
more are now added to that list, and
after the primaries others will go out,
including a number of men. Gall
Laughlln stated that in preparing the
petition, 33 1-3 more names,, than were
neccssnry were secured, and that It
Aras filed with the Secretary of State
six weeks before the time limit ex
pired Dr. Shaw's Witty Keply.
There was a good programme at the
ovenlng and afternoon sessions. Rev.
Anna Shaw being at her best and In
fusing new life and spirit in the pro
ceedings When asked by some auditor
who would take care of the babies If
the women went to the polls to vote.
Miss Shaw stated that It might be
presumed that the same agencies which
cared for them when women went out
to pay their taxes might look fter
the little ones: otherwise If the fath
ers were not Intelligent enough or had
not. sufficient governmental powers to
control an infant for an hour or so.
that there need be no uneasiness about
the outcome. "Don't let the care of the
baby worry anyone for an Instant,
she said, "there will be no day in the
year on which babies will be so well
cared for when there will be so many
willing hands to protect it, as the day
on which the mothers can cast their
votes. And If there are no others to
are for them, the candidates will see
to It that thoy are cared for and enter
tained while mother drops her ballot
for them."
New Democratic Ideal.
"The New Democratic Ideal" was the
subject of Dr. Shaw's evening address,
and a large audience of men and wom
en filled the White Temple to hear her
expound the principles which embrace
the equality of women In affaires of
government. "The new democratic
ideal differs from the old.' she said,
"because In this country we have
undertaken the greatest task men ever
assumed to give every man and wom
an an opportunity to be and become nil
that It Is possible to- be and become
under the law. It is to ba a pure d"e
mocrncy in which no man will stand
on another man's shoulders to rise,
and in which no man will permit an
other to stand on tyls shoulder to rise.
And the same Is true of women. Grovcr
Cleveland said that no woman's name
shouldbo known publicly excepting In
connection with her husband's buV
how some of them would shrink from
that! Women are Just as responsible
as men, and If men arc unjust It is
women's fault because they do not
recognize Justice and demand it. When
you women become a unit on the suf
frage question you will get It.
"There is absolutely nothing in the na
ture of government that will Interfere
with the highest development of women.
and when this evolutionary monarchy be
comes a republic this fact will be clearly
established. T say that America Is not a
republic for a republic is a form of gov
ernment established and controlled by the
vote of the peopl". It is only by the vote
of a fraction of the people that our Gov
ernment is conducted by the vote of the
men. Women were voted by the highest
ecclesiastical body of tho country at one
time to be possessed of souls, and were
determined by tho Supreme Court of the
United States to be persons, so are we
not considered as a part of the pepple?
Oregon a Good State.
Miss Kate Gordon, of New Orleans, was
one of tho brilliant speakers of the last
session, and told of tho scrap of suffrage
which the women of Louisiana enjoyed
and what they had accomplished with it.
Miss Clay, of Kentucky, wis another
speaker who aroused great enthusiasm,
and her description of some of the laws
of her own state caused the delegates to
include that Oregon was a pretty good
state after all. Mrs. DoVoe, of Washing
ton, and Miss Chase. National lecturer,
were favorites on the platform.
The press bureau of the camnaisrn has
been managed by Mrs. Ida Porter-Boyer.T
ana she spoke yesterday of the potent
factor the Oregon newspaper had been In
the present fight, adding that Oregon was
"being advertised more" through the suf
frage articles appearing In its press col
umns than through any other medium.
Dr. Annlce Jeffrey Myers gave a review
of thcN campaign which gladdened the
hearts of all workers by Its optimistic out
look. Miss Mary Anthony made brief re
marks at both sessions, and Mrs. Wood
worth and Mrs. Colby were speakers la

Detail "Work of Session.
All of the morning was taken up with
detail work of the campaign, the new
arrivals from National headquarters get
ting a comprehensive Idea of the work
which has been accomplished and what is
now being d6m for Its furtherance. Miss
Shaw will make a lecture tour and other
powers 'arc to be put to work. The ad
dresses which have been mad in various
small towns by Mrs. Ralph Wilbur, pres
ident of the amis, were mentioned, and
some of her arguments commented upon,
but it was noticeable throughout the two
days' conference that no unkind words
were, directed at th antls. Miss Shaw
stated that their so-called argument or
campaign document contained absolutely
no argument bearing directly on the suf
frage question, and a Forest Grove dele
gate reported that Mrs. Wilbur acknowl
edged In a speech at that place that '
would probably be one of the early voter
if the suffrage amendment carried but
there was no spirit of ridicule in any of
these remarks. 3

NO LEASE OF THE MARQUAM
Humors to That Effect Arc With
out Foundation.
There was another false alarm noised
about town yesterday concerning the
Marquam Theater. Fred Lincoln, general
manager for Sullivan & Consldlne.' waa
in Portland to sec about repairs to be
made to the Grand Theater, and Mr.
Erlckson told him that tho firm had the
opportunity to lease the Marquam if it
so desired. Mr. Lincoln said that the
firm did not so desire, for the theater
could not be opened Sundays. That is as
far as the negotiations went. The Schu
berts are expected next to be heard from
with some proposal, but they do not con
trol enough shows to make it profitable
to open the Marquam. unless some one
clso combines with them to put on some
Hort of a stock company, and the chances
are thin that anyone hereabout wants to
do this. Considering Mr. Sullivan's rela
tions with Klaw & Erlangcr in New
York, it may also be said that the
chances arc not brilliant that Bernhardt
will bo allowed to play at the Grand.
It was also decided yesterday by Mr.
Erlckson and Mr. Lincoln to change the
kind of faro at the Star next month. May
1 they will Install a stock company to
play musical travesties. Mr. Collins, who
is now producing that kind of thing at
Reno, Nevada, will head the company.
When Mr. Helllg canceled his lease on
the Marquam Theater It was made xne of
the conditions that if. in any case, the
theater was permitted to be used as a
theater again. Mr. Helllg was to have
first option at a given rental. He says
that unless the theater is open Sundays
it cannot successfully compete under the
present conditions in Portland, The busi
ness proposition offered to others by the
Marquam is not inviting to capitalists.
BUYS EAST SIDE REALTY
Charles Fields Will Erect on Prop
erty Thrcc-Story Building.
Another transaction illustrating the rise
of realty values o& the Bast Side was con
cluded yesterday, when Charles Fields
purchased from Richard Xohler a half
block on East First street for $35,000. The
property lies on the west side of Ea&t
First street, between Bast Morrison and
Belmont. The deal was- handled by Reed,
Fields & Tynan, The land Is entirely un
occupied. The new owner stated yesterday that
he Intended to build ipon the property a
brick building to cost about S35.O00. It
will be three stories high, and the larger
part will be used as a warehouse. The
Morrison-street front, however, will be
fitted for retail stores. Mr. Fields is now
making the preliminary plans in consulta
tion with prospective tenants.

NQMON 1ILABLE
Funds for Fire Department
Betterments Tied Up.
BLUNDER OF THE COUNCIL
Appropriations Recently. Made Can
not Be Touched City Attorney
Is Asked to Straighten
OhL the Tangle.
It developed, at a meeting of the Fire
Commissioner yesterday, that the are de
partment is likely to experience consider
able difficulty in connection with the ap
plication of funds appropriated for it by
the Council. Mayor Lane announced at
the meeting that the Executive Board
NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS OF CITY OF ST. JOHNS
could not spend a dollar for the Installa
tion of a new engine company at Highland
unless the Council made a special appro
priation out of the general fund, or trans
ferred the amount necesrary from some
other fund. The City Attorney may be
asked to devise a way out of the difficulty.
When the appropriations were passed
for thb year, provision was made for the
Installation of an engine company in the
vicinity of the terminal grounds, at a cost
not to xceed'$12.TM. including for the
erection of a building; for a hook and lad
der truck In the fire station on Russell
street, near Williams avenue, cost not to
exceed 1(330; for the Portland Heights en
gine company. $14,700. Including tVXO for
the purchase of a house and grounds;
312.600 for the Brooklyn engine company;
J13.C0O for the East Couch and East Twenty-eighth
stret engine company. Includ
ing ICiOO for house and grounds; and Tlt.
160 for n new engine company In the vi
cinity of Grand avenue and Holladay ave
nue, to take the place of the chemical en
gine now located on Union avenue. Includ
ing KO00 for house and grounds.
This, l.i brief. Is the situation with re-
gard to the proposed new engine com- j
panics Intended to be established In dlf-
fercnt parts of the city. The department '
?rT, h0U? .?"d ,chen!,cal cn;,neJ"
Highland, and the plan always has been
to transfer the chemical engine to Missis-
slppi avenue and replace the volunteer 4
wlth a paid company there, at the same .
time putting in a new engine at Highland,
The fact that specific aoDroorUtlons
have been made precludes the possibility
- . , 7C i 7C, jm, . . L I
of doing anything in this direction with-
out a transfer from some other fund, and
It seems to be a question whether this i
can be done legally.
Efforts will also be made to purchase
the apparatus formerly In use at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. Chief Camp
bell reporting that it could bo secured
for Jlr.0 less than original cost, though it
is practically new. It consists of an en
gine and truck, and has been in actual
use less than a dozen times. The Com
missioners resolve to advertise for bids
in accordance with charter requirements,
but the proposals will be drawn In such a
way as to assure the acquisition of the
Exposition apparatus. This will probably
be Installed at the Nicolal-street engine
house. It seems to be doubtful whether any
new company can be established In the
vicinity of the terminal grounds, as pro
Aided in the appropriations, for the reason
that the only available site is on land be
longing to the Terminal Company, which
the company, off ers to lease to the city
for a terra ot Ave years. The Mayor and
his Executive Board are opposed to plac
ing any fire engine house on rented
ground.
At one time it was thought the diffi
culty might be solved by titillrlng that
portion of North Third street, between the
Willamette Iron Works and the approach
to the Steel bridge, but it seems that a
resolution has been presented in the Coun
cil opening Hoyt street, from North Third
to North Fourth, which would have a ten- ! many large subscriptions have been prom
dencv to tircvent the blocking of the hls-h. ' !4 '
dency to prevent the blocking of the high
way.
The sum of 350.G6 was allowed David M,
Lloyd, a member of chemical engine com
pany No. X out of the sick benefit fund,
and in all probability he will be asked to
resign from the department on account of
permanent disability. He is said to be
suffering from nervous dyspepsia and sci
atic rheumatism, contracted, according to
a certificate from Dr. M. A. Fllnn,
through exposure and overwork while on
duty, his condition making it Impossible
for him to follow his usual occupation or
perform manual labor of any kind. He Is
under municipal civil service rules, and It
is doubtful bow the commission ,will view
the effort to oust him.
Chief Campbell reported the following
resignations: H. H. Nichols, hoseman of
the flreboat; W. R. McAllister, driver hose
company No. 6. Frank Craig, hoseman at
engine -company No. 1; Ellsworth Adams,
ladderman at truck company No. X

and Grant D I sick. They are out most
every night talking to the people. The
other night Mr. Dimlck said he was
disposed to treat his worthy antagon
ist. Richard Scott, gently, as he was n
man 70 years of age and It ill became
him to stuck a man of that age loo
severely. When It came to Mr. Scott's
turn to talk he assured Mr, Dimlck he
was not in need of any sympathy on
the score of being an aged man.
"Now to .demonstrate that 1 am as
good a man physically as Mr. Dimlck.
said Fanner Scott. "I hereby challenge
him to a 30-raIIe footrace. We will
run from Mllwaukle achoolhouse to the
Courthouse and back, and then make
another round trip and then again
back to Oregon City. That will show
which one of us Is the best roan.
Mr. Scott was carrying a 200-pound
grass-seeder from his farm down to
the blacksmith shop in Mllwaukle yes
terday, and remarked that hi had not
received any word from Mr. Dimlck
regarding his challenge to run that 50

"I am out every night on the stump."
remarked Farmer Scott, -and work -all

"There is nothing for us to do. Mayor

Guilty or Ass-aultlng Officer With
Itcvolvcr.
Thomas Rice, a young man. who since
his arrest on February 1 has had no less
than seven attorneys, wu tried and con
victed in Judge George's court yesterday
on a charge of assaulting Acting Detec
tive A. C. Welch with a revolver.
Rice had no money to pay an attorney
and Judge Cleland appointed one to de
fend him. who withdrew for some reason
not stated, and another was appointed.
Rice wanted to'engage counsel of his own
choosing, and engaged several who wrote
to his relatives, but obtained no promise
of fees and did not take the case. Among
those who consulted Rice were Walter
Wolf. Roger Sinnott and Dan R. Murphy.
Finally J. M. Long and Alex Sweek
agreed to defend him.
I Rice was found on the night of Feb
ruary 1. at the O. R. & N. Co. depot, in
company with four others. Joseph Rell
ly. detective fpr the.O. R. & N. Co.. and
Police Detectives Hartman. Murphy and
Welch were looking for boxcar thieves,
when they encountered the five men
skulking among the freight cars. They
endeavored to escape but were all finally
captured and taken to the City JaiL Rice
drew a revolver on Detective Welch, and
Immediately afterwards dodged under
neath a car. The officer dragged him
forth, and. searching for the revolver,
found It on the top of a crossbeam. Rics
denied ownership of the weaoon. or that
be was an associate of the other Your
men. The latter were 'charged with va
grancy, because there was no evidence
against them of a criminal nature, aad
they were afterwards released from cos

Bondage, Sentenced.
FINE AND IMPRISONMENT
Ninety Days In the City Jail and
Payment or Two Hundred Dol
lars Ordered hy Judgo
Cameron.
W. S. Jower. the Chinese- merchant
who had more inclination to place a
white girl in bondage than to select
one of his own color, was censured in
Police Court yesterday morning be-,
fore a crowded courtroom by Munici
pal Julge Cameron until the coarse
black hair of the Chinese rose from
its part in the middle and stood on end
for fear. After reciting briefly the
facts in the case. Judge Cameron gave
the Chinese the limit, and said that
it was only the maximum allowed by
law that prevented a heavier sentence:
Jower was sentenced to pay a fine ot
$200 and to spend 90 days in the City
Jail.
The admissions made by. Martha
Smith to Deputy Cljy Attorney Fitz
gerald, who had obtained affidavits
from the girl, were used by Judge" Cam
eron in pronouncing sentence on the
yellow man. "The admissions of Mar
tha Smith before the court. In which
sho told of her past, have no bearing
on the gulirof Jower." said the Judgi
"It matters not whether Jower was
cognizant ot the fact of what the
girl's life had been. He entered into.
and tried to carry out what he had
planned. anI now deserves the sen
tence which the court will Impose."
Turning to Thomas O'Day, who had
defended the Chinese; the Judge gave
out the sentence, which unless the ap
peal case Is won In a higher court will
be carried out. ,
When Judge Cameron bad' pro
nounced sentence. Mr. O'Day rose and
asked that the second charge against
the Chinese, that of having opium in
his possession, be continued. The
court granted the request and the sec
ond trial will be held In the near future-
Mr. O'Day gave notice of appeal
to the Circuit Court and' the Judge
fixed the appeal bond at $500. Jower's
friends were able to furnish the re
quired amount and the Chinese was re
leased. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald
will not allow the case against Miss
Smith to be dismissed. The charge.
against her will be held over ficr'ead
pending a hearing of the Chinese case..
MIsh Smith was returned to-her cell'in
the City Jail.
Bitter words were spoken In Clerk
Hennessey's office after the trial, in
which the young woman, who it is al
leged Introduced Miss Smith to Jower
and Miss Smith herself, accused each
other of wrong. The lie was passed'
between them until they were Inter
rupted by the officers of the court
