HOW MEN MUST BE ATTIRED Congress of Tailors Agrees on the Styles for Seasort. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Merchant tailors from all over the country are on their way to their homes, after a three days' session in New York of the Merchant Tailors' National Exbhange, a meeting at which the styles for men's wear are each season decided. While no hard and fast rules are laid down by the exchange, the predominating' opinion of the tailors of the country is secured, and on that opinion styles are based. It was plainly stated that the opinion of London and Paris was in no way to be taken into consideration. Predominating opinion has tiiis to say about masculine garments for Spring and Summer: First Cuffs on the ends of trousers shall be frowned upon, but they shall be encouraged for coat sleeves. They shall be etolerated" only on soft flannel Sum mer trousers. Cuffs on Winter trousers shall be tabooed. Second Fancy waistcoats may be" "rich In color, but they shall be quiet In tone." Asked to explain that, a member eaid that while rich colored, small stripes and checks would be used, the "ensemble must be modest." Third Coat lapels must not be pressed down hard; they shall have the soft roll effect. " Fourth Trousers shall no longer be built full about the thighs, they shall tit not tiehily. but easily. The legs shall be just big enough in the knees for ease. Fifth Suitings ehall be of the striped variety. Sixth Coats as to their length shall be medium. Seventh Any tailor with a patron who does not pay his bill shall send that name, with a full description of the offender, to the secretary of the exchange, who shall then send it to members of the ex change all over the country. BEGINS PROBING TODAY Council Committee Kcady to Inves tigate Local Trusts. In announcing yesterday the fact that the special committee named by Mayor Lane to probe alleged trusts in the city will hold its first meeting at the City Hall at 10 o'clock this morning. Council man Vaughn. Its chairman, declared that "everything in Portland that looks like a 'trust' will be investigated." Organiza tion and plans for procedure will be out lined at the first session, but it is doubt ful if anything further will be done to day. Councilman Concannon and Beld ing are the other members. Inasmuch as the Draymen's Association lias been declared by Councilman Kclla her to be an Illegal trust. In restraint of trade, it Is thought probable the commit tee will select that organization as the first subject of investigation. Council man Vaughn, however, would not confirm or deny this rumor, but at the last meet ing of the Council, he declared he ex pected soon to have, the privilege of as certaining something very Interesting about the Draymen's Association, as well as other combines. At the time, he was talking to Councilman Driscoll, a, political enemy, and member of the alleged "trust" under fire. The special committee was named by Mayor Lane a month ago. on motion of Mr. Vaughn, and an appropriation of $1000 was made to defray the expense of tak ing and extending the testimony and other necessary features of the investiga tions. Councilman Vaughn declared yes terday that there will be "fireworks" when the real investigating work is be gun, unless the committee's power is taken away.

The Northwest Bridge Com pany, a Portland concern, put in the lowest bid, so far as surface indica tions appear, although the City En gineer has not as yet had time to check over the various offers. The company's bid is $64,400. but there are some extra details specified, and the decision as to which is the lowest bid will not bo made until the report of the engineer is made.

CAMPAIGN IS OVER Festival People Obtain 5000 Roses for "Planting Day." SUCCESS CROWNS EFFORTS Citizens Come to the Front With Generous Donations of Bushes. Patriotic Exercises on Washing ton's Birthday Planned. Splendid public spirit has been shown in the effort to secure enough rose bushes to make "planting day" a success, in a way that has perhaps not been equalled In any other similar en deavor in the history of the city. Only four days ago the announcement was made that the Portland Rose Festival 4 1 f v s , r t it k i i i J r X'-r I , . 4k :: I i v , - tr . I HV - -i ttAj Vy JOIIK C'ltAN, VETEHi.X MERCHANT WHO SVITIIHBED SUDDEN LY TO ATTACK OK I'NEL'.MOMA. Funeral services for John Cran, the pioneer merchant who died Thursday night of pneumonia, will be held this afternoon at the Hol man undertaking establishment, at 2 o'clock. Services will be held later at the Portland Crematorium, where the body will be cremated. Xews of Mr, Cran's death caused general surprise and sorrow about the city yesterday, as it was not known ho was ill. The fatal . malady gripped him suddenly and, as is usual with men of fine phy sique, the-. pneumonia quickly carried him to death. Besides his wife, Mr. ("ran leaves a brother, James Cran, living in British Columbia, and another brother and three sisters in Scot Association would try to secure the donation of 5000 sets to be planted on Washington's Birthday in the three plaza blocks set aside by the park board for tnat purpose, and last night every bush required had been pledged, with a number of checks on hand that are to be used for the purchase of ad ditional plants. In The Oregonian yesterday the an nouncement was made that 3450 of the 5000 bushes had been donated, and during the day the remainder, or 1550 plants were promised, the Portland Hunt Club and the Portland Kennel Club coming strongly to the front on behalf of this unique celebration. The following donations during the day completed the list: Portland Kennel Club BOO Portland Hunt Club ,.. 500 Warren Construction Company 3'K F. A. Krlbs J. B. PilklnBton 20 Total 1530 Chairman W. M. Davis of the special committee, with Chairman E. W. Rowe of the ways and means committee, have worked together on the proposi tion during the few days of the cam paign and, yesterday afternoon, their efforts were' rewarded with complete success when Nurseryman Pilkington called up Mr. Rowe and inquired: "How many are you shy of the StiOO mark?" "Don't know." said Rowe, , "let me figure up. Hello, say, it's just 250." "Well, call off the hunt and sendl your committee around any time you want the roses, I've got 'em here wait ing for you." The Festival people feel highly elated over the success of this undertaking, for the reason that no systematic cam paign was attempted to get donations for the planting day. In almost every instance the offerings were entirely voluntary, and in other cases, atten tion was merely called to the object of the campaign and the contributions were immediately forthcoming. Monday afternoon a meeting will be held in Mayor Lane's office, at which, there will be present representatives' of the special Festival committees, the committee of the Rose Show and mem bers of the Park Board, to take up matters relating to carrying out a programme of patriotic exercises in connection with the planting of the roses. This plan has already mr with the approval of the members of the Park Board and if the school directors consent to allow the children of the public schools to take rart in the cele bration, it is bound to be one of the most memorable occasions of its char acter incident to the history of Port land. Whether Washington's birthday is observed as a half-holiday or not, the whole T4iird Regiment will be ordered out by Colonel McDonell, to act as a military escort for the children, who will carry the roses to the park blocks. The officers of the regiment will be mounted, and the regimental bank will lead the procession, rendering appro priate music for the occasion. ' The meeting Monday afternoon will fix the hour when the planting is to begin and the outline of the pro gramme of exercises. Gives Out Employment. Under authority from the Council Mayor Couch, of St. John, is giving em ployment In the streets to quite a number of men who have families and who are out of work. Chief of Police Bredson has charge of the men. They are em ployed mainly in cutting out trees that stand in the streets and turnfng them into wood for use in the furnace at the City Hall. The men are paid at the rate or $2 a day; By this means the city gets its wood for $4 a cord, and a number of deserving men get work. The Council did not raise the question as to whether the charter permits employing men, but went ahead and authorized the Mayor to ; hire men in need of work.

SURPRISESPRUNG E Defense in Anderson Murder Trial Declines to Call Witnesses. STANDS ON STATE'S CASE ltests After Recalling City Detectives Jones and Tichenor for Cross Examination Jury Will Be gin Deliberations Today. The defense in the trial of Joe Ander son for the murder of Harry M. Logan on the night of October 24, sprang a surprise yesterday afternoon for which Deputy District Attorney Adams was wholly unprepared, by recalling City De tectives Tichenor and Jones, and en deavoring to weaken their testimony by cross-examination, then announcing that the defense had no more testimony. Anderson was not placed on the stand, although he had twice Jumped to his feet and shouted denials from his place during the taking of testimony. The second time was yesterday morning when Jacob Hilt was telling of Ander son's confession to him, and of Ander son's efforts to have Thomas J. Maher an aged cripple who saw him in South Portland on the night of the murder, and Roy Embury, another witness put out of the way. Anderson's animus against Embury, who testified yesterday morning, it Is alleged, Is that Anderson practically confessed to Embury that he murdered Logan. As Anderson was leaving the courtroom in charge of Deputy Sheriff -Beatty he made a lunge at Embury, and but for the quick action of the Deputy Sheriff would have. felled his enemy with a blow in the face. Embury said he slept with Anderson the night before the murder. Anderson, he said, nad shown him bis revolver, belt and cartridges, and had even called his attention to the fact that the factory numbers were ground off the handle of the weapon, remarking that he had had the job done on the East Side. Embury said that Anderson asked him the next day if he had read the accounts of the Logan murder in the newspapers, and when Embury said lie bad not, Anderson said, "I made a bungling job of it." Hilt the Star Witness. Hilt, the star witness . for the state, who was in the County Jail with Ander son, having been arrested for assaulting an old man at the County Poorfarm, said Anderson approached him one day in the jail corridor where the -prisoners were taking exercise, 'and asked him to come to his cell. Hilt said it was there that Ander.son first proposed that Hilt -kill Roy Embury and Thomas Maher, about two weeks later suggesting that Mrs. Winans, be killed too. Hilt said Anderson told him he was sure that Mrs. Winans saw him the night of the murder, as she was at the window. "Did she see you climb down from the bridge," said Hilt. "I didn't climb down, I jumped," Ander son is said to have replied. "What did you kill this man Logan for," Hilt said Tie then asked. "What are you going to do when you are broke, and you hold-up a man, and he knocks you down? You have got to kili him, or be taken in," was the alleged reply. "That is absolutely false," yelled Ander son as he sprang from his chair toward the revolver lying on a desk by the witnees chair, six feet away. Deputy Sheriff Beatty, who sits direct ly behind the prisoner grabbed him, and unceremoniously Jammed him back into his chair. When Hilt made the same statement under cross-examination yes terday afternoon Anderson made no demonstration. As the case proceeded an occasional smile flitted across his face, which is hidden by a heavy black beard. Attorney Jeffrey Objects. This testimony, the strongest that had been introduced, was objected to by At torney Jeffrey for the defendant on the ground that it was contrary to the state's theory of premeditation, which it Is necessary to prove in order to convict of murder in the first degree. Attorney Jeffrey also made a motion In the after noon to strike out all of Hilt's testimony on the same ground. Judge Bronough overruled both motions, and allowed ex ceptions. Hilt said in the afternoon that Ander son told him he had thrown Into the water of the gulch, back of the house, on East Washington street, where he was caught, a Sfi-caliber Smith & Weston re volver, blue finish with the numbers drilled off the butt. He said Anderson wanted him to get a black mackintosh with a checkered pattern on the Inside, and with a patch, on the neck, and place It in the gulch near the First-street trestle in South Portland, so as to show that the one the police had was not the right one. He identified a diagram in troduced in evidence as one Anderson had drawn of the locality of the murder. "I didn't promise him to kill his men," continued Hilt, "but I baited him. He told me he would kill any 12 men I wanted, and particularly mentior 4 ?un erintendent Jackson, at the Poorfarm. "I told him that If I was going to do the job I needed a gun, and then it was that he told me of the weapon in the gulch. I told him I could not do the Job with my weapon. "Anderson gave me a diagram and a piece of paper, a fly leaf, torn from a book in the County Jail, on which the names of the men were spelled back ward." Both the book and paper were identified by Hilt when shown him. Hilt said further that he first tojd a member of the police moral squad of Anderson's confession, but that lie did not do it until after he was released from PROS GUT ON fFor Lame BacR Lumbago, Strain, or any Back ness, don't use sticky plasters. oatis liniment It's very penetrating.
