SEGREGATE THE PRECINCTS
Liquor Men Circulating Petitions in
Business Part of Kast Side.
The prohibition fight on the Bast Sido
assumed another phase yesterday fore
noon by the appearance of numerous
canvassers for signatures to petitions
calling for a local option election in
the precincts between Hawthorne avenue
and Russell street In Aibina. These are
the most thickly settled business dis
trict. This is the first move by the
liquor men to fight the Anti-Saloon
League in its efforts to cause the whole
of the East Side to be made "dry" at
the June election. The canvassers who
circulated the petitions said that the
object van to enable the voters of the
business districts to settle the question
whether they wanted the precincts "wet'
or "dry" without dictation from Monta
viila. Mount Tabor or the precincts In the
residence portion of the city. By group
ing together the precincts in the busi
ness districts along the river it was the
purpose of the liquor men to prevent
these inside precincts from being; con
nected with the residence precincts which
are expected to vote for prohibition, and
by filing these petitions in advance of the
prohibition petitions prevent the grouping
of the whole of the East Side.
J. R. Knodell, of the Anti-Saloon
League, who is directing and shaping the
preliminaries of the prohibition campaign,
at hi ofrlce in the Commercial building,
said he was informed of the circulation
of these petitions in .the business pre
cincts and remarked that It was a clever
movement, but if the liquor men, or who
ever was circulating the petitions, ex
pected to file them in advance of the pro
hibition petitions they were wasting their
efforts for the prohibition petitions had
already been filed with enough signa
tures to secure the vote in all the BhpI
Side precincts at the June election. Mr.
Knodell said he had been In hopes that
the liquor men would call a local option
vote in the entire county. A committee
has charge of affairs, and the plans for
the campaign will be ready next week.
Billboard and public meetings wilt be
extensiely used.
The prohibition movement is already
absorbing much interest on the East Side,
and the fight promises to be a hot one
from start to finish. Liquor men declare
that to make the Kat Sido Mry" would
result In stopping the material progress
that is being made In all directions, and
assert that the effect of thia movement
has already been felt on real estate.

ONLY LITTLE BOUTS
Portland Resigned to Getting
Mosquito Fleet.
SEATTLE'S COSTLY FLOAT
Iarge Delegation Coming to Help
Celebrate Festival Ordinances
Relative to Cleaning l"H City
to Be Strictly Knforced.
Portland's chances of securing a de
tail of the great American armada, now
on the Pacitic Coast, for the Rose Festi
val, to be held here June 1-6, have gone
a-gllmmerlng. All the pressure that has
been brought to bear by the local com
mercial organizations, by the Oregon Con
gressional delegation and by the officers
of tlie festival itself, have been fruitless.
The Metcalf-Perklns California combina
tion has. so it would appear, more In
fluence than Portland (the second largest
poet on the. Pacific CoaBt). and only the
low-draft cruiser Charleston and the Gun
boat Yorktown, together with the fourth
division of torpedo boats will be here
for the June demonstration.
The recent' correspondence which lias
taken place has definitely fixed the re
sponsibility for Portland being wiped out
of the great fleet's circumnavigating tour
upon Secretary Metcalf of the Navy De
partment. .
F.vans Not Responsible.
"When the preliminary efforts were be
gun to secure a substantial representn- j
tion of the Atlantic fleet for Portland,
Senator Bourne notified the Commercial
Cluh that the movement of the great Navy .
was entirely in the hands of Admiral 1
Kvans. This was accepted as final, and ;
as soon as the fleet reached American i
waters on the Sunset Slope, letters and i
telegrams were directed to "Fighting '
Bob'' with the hope of Inducing him to .
order at least a portion of one or more i
of the four grand divisions of the fleet to !
Portland for the Rose Festival. These '
communications did not reach Evans until
after he had been confined to the hot
baths at Paso Robles. and when they did,
he instructed his flag lieutenant to for
ward them at once to Rear Admiral
Thomas, the executive officer of the fleet
to succeed Evans. Thomas, without be
ing informed of the intrigue against Port
land that had been cooked up at Wash
ington, blandly informed the officers of
the Rose Festival that the movements of
the squadron were being directed from
the Navy Department at Washington and
that he had nothing to do with it except i
to obey the orders which required that
he dispatch the armada to the navy-yards,
dock them and prepare them for the
cruise to Australian waters, the longest
stretch of the entire globe-encircling
cruise.
Secretary Metcalf Implacable.
Thereby Portland loses out entirely.
The representations which have been
made by the Portland Chamber of Com
merce. Portland Board of Trade. Portland
Manufacturers' Association, Portland
Commercial Club and' the Portland Rose
Festival have carried absolutely no weight
with Secretary Metcalf and have been
tabled.
The California "knockers" have scored
another signal victory.
There had been some hope entertained
until about noon yesterday when Presi
dent C. A. Whitemore. of the Rose Fes
tival, received the following dispatch from
President C. W. Hodson. of the Commer
cial dub. now in Washington:
"The Navy Department absolutely re
fuses to change the Itinerary of the bat
tleships." ,
Xo Special Entertainment.
The Rose Festival will not prepare any
special entertainment for the mosquito
fleet which has been ordered here. The
officers will be given invitations to the
grand ball that will be held and the crews
will be invited to take part in the aquatic
events which will be held on the river in
connection with the water carnival, one
day during the week. Otherwise, no
formal recognition of the presence of the
warships will be made, for the reason
that it Is generally regarded that the
boats that will come here are such ih
signiticent members of the American Navy
and no part whatever of the great fleet,
that there will be no cause for recognition
of their presence.
"It is only a gratuitous insult to Port
m H5f fer: fjrr: ;Ep mjatfl
9
land to send this junk to Portland," said
President Whitemore, last night, "and
there is no reason why we should go out
of our way to entertain such insignificant
warshipa as have been doled out to us
by the California outfit. We can spend
the money we have available to much
better advantage, and I would be much
more pleased if Metcalf would send his
little flotilla right on beyond Portland.
We really don't care for It. but I sup
pose it is only fair that we show the
officers as much courtesy as other dis
tinguished guests who will be here from
all parts of the Pacific Coast. We will
be decent about it anyway, and let the
whole matter drop."
Seattle's Elaborate Float.
Seattle will attempt to surpass the ef
forts of every other community in the
Northwest In the matter of making a fine
representation in the magnificent pageant.
"The Spirit of the Golden West." Frank
L. Merrick, chief of publicity of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, is in the
city for the purpose of closing up the
contract for a splendid float for this
parade. The float will be the combined
entry of the city of Seattle, the Chamber
of Commerce and the A.-Y.-P. Exposition,
and it will be the most gorgeous as welt
as the most expensive piece to be entered
in the All-Northwestern parade.
"We haven't considered the question of
expense at all, and the only injunction
that was placed upon me when I was
sent over here was to select a design
more elaborate, more expensive and more
picturesque than any other so far- en
tered. We want Portland to. feel that
Seattle is going to do her share to make
the festival a atupendous success. That
we have our hearts set on making the
celebration the greatest ever held on
the Coast, and I don't mind saying that
we have a sort of a selfish motive, for
we believe that Portland will reciprocate
next year and help us make the expo
sition a grand success and a lasting
tribute to the spirit of enterprise of
Northwestern cities and states.
"Seattle will come down to Portland
with the largest delegation that ever left
that city. Our people are talking Rose
Festival and with the extremely low rates
which the railroads have already offered
there is no reason to' doubt that thousands
of Puget Sound people will witness more
or less of your city's great celebration,
next June."
"What benefits the Northwest, bene
fits Seattle" -will be the motto displayed
upon Seattle's float, which will represent
Alaska mining. Oriental trade, transcon
tinental trafTic. municipal progress, lum
ber and fishing industries, while the em
bellishment will embrace a aeries of elab
orate totem poles. The totem poles will
form the frame and setting for the en
tire picture to be represented by the float,
which will cost not less than $1500, com
plete. Cleaning 'cp for Festival.'
Active preparations for the cleaning up
of the city for the coming Rose Festival
are under way, and will be discussed at
a meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon.
April 2R, in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce, at which there will be rep
resentatives from every civic organization
In the city. They will meet with the
municipal affairs committee of the Cham:
ber. which has the matter in ' charge.
Letters have been sent to the various
civic organisations, but owing to defective
addresses several have been returned.
However, every organization interested in
making Portland a cleaner and more at
tractive city is requested to be -present
at this meeting.

DEMAND FROM CITY
Will Ask Telephone Company
for Cables.
BOARD TO SERVE NOTICE
Home Company's Officials Consider
Action Vnrcasonahlc and Will
Probably Carry the Fight
Into the Courts.
Through the Executive Board, formal
demand is to be made upon the officers
of the Home Telephone Company for
underground cables and conductors, of
such character as is necessary, to be in
stalled in the conduits of the corpora
tion on various streets in East Portland.
A resolution, calling upon the company
for this material, was to have been In
troduced before the Board yesterday af
ternoon, but will now conie up at the
adjourned meeting at 4 o'clock next
Monday afternoon. The action was
postponed because of the sudden death
of C. A. Cogswell, a member of the
Board.
In all probability the resolution, which
was prepared by City Attorney Kava
naugh, will be adopted by the Executive
Board next Monday. It directs City
Auditor Barbur to send a copy to the
Home Telephone Company officials, who
will then be forced to take some action.
The cables and conductors are for the
underground system of the fire depart
ment and are very expensive. Mr. Kava
naugh has ruled that the Home Tele
phone Company, by the terms of its
franchise, can be forced to supply this
material without cost to the city upon
notification by the Executive Board, and
believes that, in case the corporation of
ficials should refuse to comply, the grant
under which they are conducting their
business in Portland would bo forfeited.
The formal demand to be made upon
the company is for 2120 feet of "eight
conductor cable." and 3710 feet of "four
conductor cable." all of which is to be
laid in a district on the East Side.
This action on behalf of the city Is
the result of the revelation made by
Councilman Driscoll some weeks ago
that public funds to the amount of
$20,700 had been expended for cables and
conductors for the fire department,
which should have been purchased by
the Home Telephone Company and de
livered to the city free of cost. An
investigation has been carried on . by a
special committee, appointed by Mayor
Iane. which led to a resolution to refer
the matter to Mr. Kavanaugh.
A second Investigation is now in
progress, instituted by the City Council,
and in charge of the committee on Judi
ciary. The purpose of this latest prob
ing is to fix the responsibility for the
alleged needless expenditure of the city
funds for the cables and conductors.
The attitude of the Home Telephone
Company, as officially announced yester
day afternoon, is that the city. Is asking
a most unreasonable thing In demanding
a special brand of material, not used by
the company in any of Its regular busi
ness. Although no absolute confirmation
was given. It is understood that the
Home Company will fight the issue on
this ground.
Mr. Kavanaugh said last night that a
similar demand will be made upon the
officials of the Pacific Telephone A Tele
graph Company, through the City Coun
cil, which body is designated in the fran
chise as the properly constituted au
thority to notify the company.
ORPHEUM SHOWS COMING
Will Occupy the Grand Theater,
Beginning August, 17 Next.
Manager James H. Errickson, of the
Sullivan-Consld4ne Interests in Portland,
gives it out officially that on and after
August 17 the Orpheum circuit will be
extended to Portland and that the Grand
will be devoted to its vaudeville attrac
tions. The regular Sullivan-Consldine
shows will probably be transferred to
the Star. In which event that management
will necessarily have to abandon the
musical and dramatic stock field for want
of a place in which to hogse such shows.

TWO WIS SEEK
SAFETY IN COURT
Trivial Offenses Cause Threats
of Death by J. C. Welch
and F. W. Wheeler.
LATTER WILL CRUSH ROCK
Sirs. KmniA Shea Aim Aocu?d of
Menacing O. F. Trelchill Ic
clarea Her Remarks AVcrc
I1 rented at Dumb BcaM,
John C. Welch and F W. Wheeler, both
suburbanites, were before the Municipal
Court yesterday forenoon, on charge of
threatening to kill their respective wives.
Welch had threatened his wife with death
because he thought she was spending
too much time visiting with neighbors.
Wheeler was Impelled to threaten his
wife's life bcaiue of her prying curiosity.
The evidence waa such that Welch man
aged to escape on his promises of do
mestic docility, hereafter, while the other
liasbnnil. Wheeler, was sent to tho rock
ptle for a term of 46 days.
Welch said he did not threaten his
wife seriously. He merely said the first
mean thing that came Into his mind but
hadn't the least intention of carrying out
the threat of murder. He said he thought
his wife was spending too much time at
the home of a woman frlond living In
the neighborhood. Furthermore he didn't
think the neighbor in question was a
proper person for Mrs. Welch to as
sociate with. He tried repeatedly to keep
his wife at home more regularly and
falling by ordinary means 'became some
what harsh.
Mrs. Welch waa In court to prosecute
her husband. She took the threat very
much to heart and said she feared that
her husband might get to drinking one
of these days and carry It Into execution.
"He had no right to order me to keep
away from the neighbors. They were
friends of his. In fact he introduced
them to me." said Mrs. Welch. "The time
he threatened me I went over to let
our baby see some new kittens they had
at the house. The baby 'was cross and I
wanted to show it the kittens."
"You have no right to threaten your
wife In that manner whether you mean it
or not." said Judge Cameron. "There
ought to be more harmony in your home.
Your wife is entitled to privileges as well
as you. I am willing to give you a
chance but you must do better."
Wheeler's case was more aggravated.
It appeared from the testimony that he
went home one night with a heavy
wooden box. He did not tell Mrs. Wheeler
what was inside but cautioned her to
keep away from it. Woman's curiosity
proved too strong for her. She pried
open the box and looked inside. It was
filled with harness. She recalled having
read of thefts of valuable harness and
asked her husband about the matter. It
was then that he threatened her with
death if she ever mentioned the matter
to anyone.
The very next day an officer appeared
at the house with a search warrant.
Fearing she would be accused of telling.
Mrs. Wheeler complained of the threat
that had been made against her -life.
Hence the husband was charged not only
with larceny but with threatening to kill.
'Forty-flve days on the rockpile," was
Judge Cameron s finding in the case.
Animals of various sorts made trouble
for quite a number of people, including
Mrs. Km ma Shea, who threatened to
harm "him." O. F. Trefchell, who lives
near Mrs. Shea, at 538 Mall street, took
It that the lady's pronoun implied a threat
against him. But Mrs. Shea called at
tention to the fact that Trelchell had a
blooded colt with him at the time and
averred that the horse was the subject
of any threat she may have made.
Mrs. Shea spent half an hour on the
witness-stand, despite frequent efforts to
stop her. She gave an elaborate story of
neighborhood differences, even mention
ing the time a lady snubbed Jier when
she was attempting to do her the kind
ness of returning a lost glove. As to
Treichell s colt, Mrs. Shea said she had
ample reason to dislike that animal. It
was vicious and would kick at her chil
dren when they were playing about It on
the street, where it was frequently left
standing.
Treichell said he was constantly an
noyed by he Shea family and demon
strated that he must be very easily an
noyed. wWhen he would pass' the Shea
home the children would .run out and
say, "That's him, oh, mama, here he is
now; that's him. that's him."
The incident that made him think his
life was In danger, however, occurred
this week when Mrs. Shea came out as h
was pass in with the colt and said.
"That's him and 11! put him where ho
belongs. , .
"She might have meant she would boos

son. "I meant the horse anyway," put l.i
Mrs. Shea.
"There's nothing to this case; it will
be dismissed," said Judge Cameron.
It was C. T. Evans' chickens, colt and
three female dogA combined, that oc
casioned his appearance in court. It was
charged against him tjiat he permitted
his domestic menagerie to roam at large
In the vicinity of the Evans home, at
Montavilla. ' Under the law chickens
must be kept cooped up or fenced In,
colts must likewise be confined to a
de fin ate inclosure while the presence on
earth of female dogs must be justified
by city licenses costing $5 apiece.
Evans waa willing to mend his waya as
regards the animals. He agreed to build
a coop at once for his chickens and keep
the colt properly restrained. As to the
female dogs he said he would dispose of
one: and get licenses for the others. The
law was satisfied mith this adjustment
of the" case and Evans case was dis
missed.
