HURRY THOMPSON TRIAL Unless Concluded Today, Judge Snell Insists It Shall Go Over. TACOMA, Wash., May 25. (Special.) -r-Judge Snell today requested counsel in the Chester Thompson hearing to make all haste so that it could be con cluded by Tuesday night. The county attorney said it was impossible for him to get through by that time, and was informed by Judge Snell that he would not hold court Wednesday,- and unless the case was concluded by that time he would be forced to continue it until some time next month.' LAMPBLACK GOES Streetwalks Not to Be Col ored, Says Committee. AGAINST LONG PETITION Dr. Victoria Hampton, Barked Up by 98 Other Physicians, Protests Against Repeal of Ordinance. Paving Is Still Delayed. Although presented with a masterful argument by Dr. Victoria Hampton, backed up by a petition signed by 28 prominent physicians and eye specialists of Portland, the street committee of the City Council yesterday morning decided to recommend that the municipal law makers repeal the ordinance requiring that all sidewalk cement henceforth be colored with lampblack. More than half an hour was devoted to the discussion of the question, during which time sev eral representative citizens spoke, pre venting their opinions on both sides of the Issue. Each faction was about even ly represented and the discussion was heated, almost bordering on an outward demonstration several times. That Dr. Hampton was sincere in her beUef that the bright white cement was exceptionally dangerous to the eyes, es pecially at times during the day when the sun was shining the brightest, there was no room for doubt, inasmuch as she had the signatures of more than a voore of local practitioners backing up her assertions. Dislike Blotched Appearance. The orjy .objectionable feature to the coloring of the sidewalks was the fact that the appearance of two shades of cement would give the sidewalks of the city a blotched appearance. This argu ment was apparently considered more seriously than that put forth by the op posing faction. Definite action of the committee in re gard to the improvement of Williams avenue, with Hassam pavement, a new composition of street-paving material which the property-owners petitioned for, P1 postponed because of an effort on foot to change the width of the thorough fare. This, It Is expected, will prob ably be accomplished before the next meeting of the committee. It Is the de sire of the committee to be in a posi tion to dispose of the whole Question at the same time. During the discussion of the Issue a de bate between Councilmen Vaughn and Conoannon took place over the advisa bility of recommending the Hassam pave ment to the Council. Vaughn and Concannon Dispute. Conoannon held that he did not be lieve the city should be made to suffer merely for the purpose of allowing a cer tain few people in one section of the town the privilege of experimenting in street pavement. Vaughn .was heartily in favor of giving the new pavement a trial, although he admitted that he had his doubts about its proving satisfac tory. Vaughn also defended his end of the argument by stating that as .there are only two paving companies in busi ness in the city there is no competition for the city's paving work. Tbe two opposing factions in the Pied mont street paving issue met with the committee during the meeting to give vent to their feelings regarding the pav ing of Jessup street and Rodney and Mallory avenues. A hard-surface pave ment on .the streets is wanted by some of the property-owners, while others want the streets leveled to the grade and rolled. Several other minor mat ters came up In connection with the issue and the committee postponed action until Its next meeting. - CLOSING-OUT SALE Fine. Press Goods.

General Manager O'Brien, of the Har rlnian lines in this territory, sent out an order yesterday to the heads of the various departments of the O. R. A. N. and Southern Pacific lines In Oregon di recting that so . far as practical, all activities of the railroads cease alto gether on May 30 to permit the employes of the allied lines to participate in the observance of Decoration day.' The same order carried practically the same direc tion In relation to election day, Monday, June 1. The ii-erm whale can stay under water for 30 minute.

The most sanguine expectations of the Cathollo Young-Men's Club were exoeed ed by the tremendous throng which con gregated at their street fair and carnival at Williams avenue and Morris street last night. It was Hibernian night, and the loyal sons of Erin were out In force. Incidentally, the daughters were there, too, and between them they had every thing their own way. Even genial Andy Weinberger, the generously Inclined, as well as proportioned, proprietor of the "country store, " changed his- nativity for the time being, and conducted himself as would do credit to a scion of the an cient kings of Ireland. ' The Ancient Order of Hibernians Is noted for the energy in whicli it puts through a programme. Last night the organization visited the street fair In a body, and if any of them missed any portion of the grand array of attractions it was because they were so well pleased with the attractions they did visit that they spent longer Intervals there than they had intended. . In the spacious auditorium of the club house the leaders of the organization de livered short and appropriate addresses relative . to the splendid cause for the benefit of which the carnival Is being held. Later in the evening the principal speakers of the Democratic County Cen tral Committee and several of the Demo cratic candidates for public office, ap peared before the visitors at the fair and gave short talks in the Interest of the ticket. District Attorney John Manning spoke briefly on his policy, explaining to the assembled throng the methods pursued by him In bringing the officials of the wrecked Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany Bank to an accounting at the bar of justice. Mr. Manlng's remarks were well received and when he had concluded he was greeted with shouts of approval. Tom M. Word, the Democratic nominee for Sheriff, was also received with dem onstrations of approval, as was John A. Jeffrey for Congress, Oglesby Toung for Railway Commissioner and A. King Wil son for Representative. The street far and carnival will con tinue for two more nights, according to the original programme, but In some quarters the proposition to continue the pleasing affair until .Saturday night is being agitated. This matter has not yet been definitely settled, but will probably be decided upon today. An additional feature last night was the broncho busting stunt given by Wil liam West, who performed some startling feats of horsemanship In the big base ball and football park of the Catholic Toung Men's Club just across the street from the carnival grounds. West will re peat his . riding performance tonight at 7:30 o'clock, and another added attraction at the carnival tonight will be Professor Larry Larramore's band of troubadors from the Portland T. M. C. A. Several good boxing and wrestling bouts will also be held in the big auditorium. DAMR0SCH GETS OVATION Great Conductor Receives Tremen dous Praise In California. "After an absence of several years," said the San Francisco Chronicle of the 18th, "Walter Damrosch, with that splen did organization of musicians, the New York Symphony Orchestra, has returned to give us a new musical Inspiration. He is the same simple, great, inspired conductor that we knew of old, although time has silvered his i temples and added a few classic lines to that serious face. He shows the same camaraderie and con sideration for his men, while they look upon him as a deity, and play for him as they would for no other director who ever swayed a baton. "The orchestra Is quite beyond criti cism. . It probably comes as near perfec tion as It Is possible to attain. San Fran cisco certainly will not hear any better symphony orchestra than this magnificent body of musicians, every one of whom is an artist and capable of solo work 'on the concert programme." Portland will have the opportunity of hearing this great orchestra under its famous leader in three fine programmes on Wednesday evening, June 3 and Thurs day matinee and evening, June 4, at the Armory, where they will appear under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman.
