REACH NO UNDERSTANDING Directors Report Results of Confer ence at Meeting Work on Badly Needed New Buildings Still Held Vp. Work on Portland's uncompleted school buildings Is practically at a standstill, and the controversy between the Board of Education and J. E. Bennett, who holds the contracts. Is no nearer a settlement than It was several weeks ago. It was shown at the meeting of the board last night that little progress has been made toward reaching an understanding, and it was determined to take steps to oust the contractor within the next few days, unless he can be made to agree to the terms which have been laid down by the board. i H. Wittenberg, chairman of the build ing committee, reported that a confer ence with Mr. Bennett had been held ear lier in the day but that it had been with out practical results. Bennett holds tha contract for the erection of the Sunny side, East Twenty-eighth Street and Hol man Schools, and, owing to his disagree ment with the board as to the quality of piaterials to be used, has practically sus- nded operations. Only 18 men are em jyed on the three jobs, according to T. . Jones, the" architect. In the meantime the city schools are cramped for room to meet the demands of the Increased at tendance, and the board realizes that something must be done at once to get the work under way. "We find that the contractor Is making absolutely no progress," said Mr. Witten berg. "The few men that are employed are spending most of their time trying to cover up the Inferior material which has been used. He will neither give up the work on the terms we have offered, nor tear out the defective lumber and do a first-class job. Convinced Charges Are True. "When we met him today, he brought up several contractors to testify as to the character of the work that has been done, but what they said simply went to prove our contention that poor materials have been used." The members of the building committee and Architect Jones will go to the Sun nyslde School this afternoon and Inspect the work In company with Contractor Bennett. Contractors Mulr and Wallace, and perhaps several others, will go along to pass Judgment on the grade of work and materials. It is thought that some agreement will be reached with the archi tect, but if it is not, the board will act at a special meeting which has been called for Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The board has offered to take the work off the contractor's hands and pay him the difference between the cost of com pletion and the contract price, or it will allow him to complete the Jobs If he will use materials approved by the architect and proceed without further delay. Director Williams Resigns. The resignation of Richard Williams, senior member of the board, was accept ed, to take effect on the selection of his successor. He has been In poor health for some time, illness preventing him from attending the sessions of the Board, and gave out his Intention of resigning two weeks ago, as announced in The Orego nlan. The term vacated by Mr. Williams will expire one year from next July. His suc cessor will be elected by the Board, prob ably at the special meeting next Thurs day. No names have yet been taken un der consideration by the directors. H. C. Enn. who was elected at the opening of the term to a place on the staff of instructors In the High School, resigned after one week of service, to accept a position at Redlands, Cal. E. P. Anderson was elected to All the vacancy! T. J. Brown resigned as Janitor of the Sellwood School and Thomas Farley was elected to the place. ARE YOUCOLD?'

FEAR of an early and miserable death from some mythical ailment ascribed to him by a quack doctor was the motive which prompted Alfred Young to attempt suicide by Inhaling gas in a North End lodging-house Sunday night. Young had recovered sufficiently to teu his name yesterday, and reluctantly ad mitted the motive for his attempt at self destruction. "If I was Incurably ill and liable to die at any moment, I wanted to die at once and be through with It," explained Young yesterday, as he lay on a cot In St. Vin cent's Hospital. . "Just before the earthquake," Young explained, "I did not feel very well, and I went into a drugstore on Kearny street to ask for relief. The drugstore looked all right, and when I told my trouble to the clerk he coolly informed me that un less I saw the advising physician who lived above, Immediately, I was In danger of dropping dead. I believed the clerk and saw the doctor upstairs. Since that day to this I have been hounded by the thought of my impending death, and the Idea nearly drove me crazy. The doctor began to treat me, but I soon found that instead of Improving my condition ne was making It worse all the time. As I found out since, both the drugstore and the doctor were part of a fake medical institute whose flaring advertisements could be seen every day in the San Fran cisco dailies. "Finally I left San Francisco, went to Astoria and then came to Portland. I was feeling worse and worse every day, and the words of the doctor In San Fran cisco did not leave my mind. Sunday I felt very weak and decided to end my life." This is the story of Young, who, by the merest chance, was prevented from tak ing his life after making a most delib erate preparation for the deed. Had It not been for the prompt action of the doctors at St. Vincent's Hospital, Young would probably now occupy a slab at the morgue. He was still In the hospital last night, and will probably be allowed to leave today. The doctors say there Is nothing wrong with Young, who is a large, well-built man, outside' of the fear of sudden death due to the unscrupulous treatment of tha San Francisco Institute. Young is a mechanic and had several good positions, but had to leave every one for fear the work might bring his end nearer. After Young Is released from the hos pital it is probable he will be under sur veillance for some time, as It is feared he may make another attempt to take his life. LIND RECITAL FRIDAY.

Short Line Foreman's Nose Detects the Odor of Scent on the Laborers' Hands. POCATELLO,-Idaho, Sept. 24. (Special.) A Short Line detective, accompanied by two deputies from the Sheriff's office, this morning searched a Japanese construction train In the local yards and discovered nearly a carload of toilet soap which had been stolen from the recent freight wreck at High Bridge, Mont. The foreman of the gang noticed the odor of scented soap on his men and conducted a quiet inves tigation. When the officers searched the train, soap was found in every nook and corner of the cars. The train for a couple of hours exuded soap. A dozen cases were also found cached In coal heaps and be hind sagebrush. The construction train had been or dered to the scene of the High Bridge wreck, to clear away the debris caused by the collision and fire, which resulted in the resignation of Superintendent Dud dleson, of the division. Among the cars burned were four of merchandise, and It was thought a heavy consignment of toilet soap had been destroyed In the wreck, until the telltale odor was detect ed on the hands of the Japanese labor ers, after their return to Pocatello. The railroad company is at a loss prop erly to punish the Japanese, of whom 200 or more are concerned in tha theft. Osteopath's Death Certificate. SALEM, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.)
