TACOMA, Wash., May 25. (Special.)

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. -

Koads to Observe Memorial Day.
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

HIBERNIANS IT CARNIVAL
i
IOVAL SOX9 OP EIUX ATTEND
AXiBINA STREET FAIR.
Democratio Candidates Also on
. Hand, and Their Speeches Are
Received With Approval.
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.

Preparations: for Pain's Fireworks
Going On Busily.
A large force of men is engaged at

200 feet from the grandstand, and hack
of this Is constructed the volcano which
at the close of - the holiday fete produces
such havoc by its fiery eruptions. Dressing-rooms
for the 350 performers taking

elaborate scale; 360 performers, athletes,
specialties, soldiers and actors partici
pating in the gorgeous spectacle, depict
ing a holiday In Naples when visited by
the King and Queen of Italy. Sports,
processions. - ballets. Illuminations and
music temporarily attract the attention
of the populace from their ever-present
enemy, Mount Vesuvius, which towers
majestically in the background.' A ter
rible outburst of flame, smoke and ashes
from the volcano -crater occurs, while
