DYNAMITE IS THREATENED Wehnmg Insists Lawn In Front of Oregon Building Shall Xot Be Disfigured by Shacks Allen Says Ho will Call Guards. SEATTLE, trash.. May il (Special.) Armed with a revolver and -with S5 men held In reserve. Frank J. Smith, superintendent of the Oregon building at the Alaska-Tukon-Paclllc Exposi tion, this morning stood oft the work men sent by Frank P. Allen. Jr.. di rector of works at the exposition, to place a selling booth on the lawn in front of that building. The booth had been put in place Thursday evening and had been forci bly removed. When the division of works learned that the booth had been thrown Into the street, a force of men was sent to put it back. Smith Would Die for Cause. Superintendent Smith, acting under orders from W. H. Wehmng. president of the Oregon Commission to the A.-Y.-P., summoned his carpenters and bade them hold themselves in readi ness while he stood off the booth builders. "We shall not allow that booth to be placed on the Oregon grounds.- said Mr. Smith. "We have orders from the division of works to put it here, and we are going to do it." said the foreman of the crew. "It will go on the grounds only over tny dead body." replied Mr. Smith, and the booth-builders left. Allen May Call Guards. The director of works. Frank P. Allen. Jr., has planned to place 109 booths about the grounds, where post cards, candy, chewing Kum and ice cream cones may be sold. Among the locations selected were four sites on the lawn at the Oregon building, two on the California grounds, two at the "Washington State building, and a score near the exhibit palaces. When it was learned that the Oregon Commission refused to allow the booths on the ground under Its control. Director Al len threatened to use the exposition guards to enforce his orders. Filcher Threatens Dynamite. President Wehrung will appeal to the executive committee of the Exposition. "I. A. Filcher. of the California Com mission. Informs me that If booths are placed on the California grounds without permission from those in charge of the Gilding he will use dynamite to remove them. We shall form an association of county and state commissions to prevent this imposition. "Oregon has spent about t3M In grad ing and in making the grounds beautiful about the building. Without asking per mission and without authority a booth, which was the first of four to be placed near us. was erected on Oregon's prem ises. I directed Superintendent F". J. Smith to have it removed, which was done. Guards Stand by Idle. "This morning we learned that the di rector of works would send a force of Exposition guards to compel ns to sub mit to the presence of the booths. Su perintendent Smith told the workmen that the booth could not be placed acaln on our premises else there would he trouble. There were four guards standing near, but none of them took part In the con troversy. "Some of the members of the Oregon Commission objected to the building site for the reason that a large amount of grading was necessary. Director of Works Allen promised to have the ground filled In. This promise was not kept, and we filled the ground at our own expense. We have placed soil on top of the gravel, and have made a lawn which has cost u a good deal of money. Now that we have (trass (trowing on the grounds we shall not submit to having the premises di.riR;red by postcard and chewing-gum booths. The director of works cannot install those booths without our permis sion, and I believe I can speak for the Oregon Commission when I say that no such privileges will be granted. Booths Will Go l p, Allen Says. In speakina- of the controversy. Di rector of Works Allen said: "Notwithstanding the objections, the booths will be placed at the points des ignated, if it is necesary to use the guards. We have built 100 booths, which have been sold to various con cessionaires. The booths will be used for selling souvenirs, postcards, candy and other wares. "I have not been informed concerning .any organized opposition. It Is my I purpose to carry out the plans as al ! ready decided upon."
