President Wehrung Says Scope of Exposition Will Be Largely-Increased. "Our plan Is to give the public a fair and exposition as near to what they like as we are able to devise," said President Wehrung, of the Portland Fair & Livestock Association yesterday, before starting back to Seattle to com plete arrangements for Oregon Day at the A-Y-P Exposition. President Wehrung stayed over one day in order to hold a conference with some of the leading spirits of the exposition, which will take place In September, and it was their unanimous verdict that the scope of the week's programme should be extended far beyond the harness racing card and the stock show. Steps have already been taken to have night ly entertainment and amusement fea tures on a scale much beyond anything held here since the Lewis and Clark Fair. President Wehrung believes he will be able t.o bring to Portland a considerable number of the attractions at the Seattle Fair for the one wjek. Arrangements for the musical pro gramme were completed yesterday, when the Oregon State Fair Military Band, W. E. McElroy director, was en gaged for the exposition. This band will give daily processions through the streets by automobile or tally-ho in the morning and will give concerts during the races in the afternoon and during the evening. Fireworks will be an important fea ture of the coming exposition, the peo ple handling the pyrotechnics at tho A-Y-P Fair having been engaged to give nightly exhibitions on a scale similar to what is shot off over at Seattle on special occasions. The business men who are to handle the financial campaign to secure the balance of the guarantee fund through the sale of season tickets will be called together early next week and outline a plan of action for the two days of the big cleanup, which takes place July 14 and 15. The Retail Merchants' Asso ciation is taking an active, interest in this movement and will work in har mony with other business concerns in the effort to secure the balance needed. FIVE PRISONERS ESCAPE REMARKABLE PLAY DEALS WITH LIFE'S SHADY SIDE ONLY TO TEACH LESSON "Salvation Nell" Tells Story of Slums, but Is Argument for Survival of Good and Beautiful. or pre- JBY ARTHUR A. GREENE. FTER seeing for a second time that wonderful performance of "Salva tion Nell," into which Mrs. Fiske has put the very best of her marvelous acting capacity, one is inclined to the theory that the croaking prophets are all wrong about present day tendencies of the stage. The play is a big, virile dis cussion of conditions as-they actually ex ist in our large cities., Even here in Port land we have instances which correspond almost to the dot to those concerning the depraved scrubwoman who rises nobly from the depths to be a positive force for good, a conscientious, self-sacrificing wo man doing God-s work In this world through the boisterous Salvation Army. A more rare combination of acting genius would be hard to find In a very long day's Journey than that of Minnie Maddern Flske and Holbrook Blinn, who plays the todgh lover of Nell so consummately. There are a dozen more wonaerfully realistic types sented. the men and women we meet every day in the street, good, bad and indifferent. The play is a remarkable human document, an argument for the ultimate survival of the good, the true and the beautiful. I cannot conceive of any heajthy-minded man or woman going to see this soul-stirring play without being helped. Those who know the under side of things are charitable. They know the struggles, the trials and the tempta tions to which poor Nell, of Cherry street, was exposed. It is the clois tered few who are stiff-necked and over-exacting. "Salvation Nell" has a message the old, old message which the Scriptures have brought down to us through these many centuries. "The greatest of these is charity." That to me Is the final word In "Sal vation Nell," a mighty discussion of the plain and simple annals of the poor, the very poor, the wicked may hap, the ugly story of the submerged many whom we have with us always. It is trite to say that a drama is bet ter than a sermon, but here Is one. It Is & play which every man and woman of mature mind should see. It carries with it the world-old lesson that "the vilest sinner may return." It is not salacious fnr thA Boko n f fulnilniianaefi T t iaa a Lefferts" pure gold seamless wedding distinct significance, and though it drags rings, an sues; engraving free; price, J5 to Jli 273 Washington 6treet.

Four prisoners escaped from the County Jail last night, though their es cape was not discovered until the jailar went to serve the prisoners with break fast this morning. It is thought the prisoners gained lib erty through the aid of a friend from the outside. A new padded cell for the insane had Just been built on the north side of the Jail, and through this the escape was made. The bars of the outer window were quarter-inch soft iron bars, and these did not offer much resistance. A hole 16 inches square was sawed with a hacksaw in the steel cage, and through this opening the four prisoners escaped, and thence out through the padded cell. Those who broke Jail were John Brown and Charles Dempsey. charged with rob bery from a Hindu they would have been released tomorrow, however, as, suffi cient evidence to convict them had not been secured: George Lawson. a soldier, who had but seven days more to serve for stealing a bicycle; and Ernest Vorn kahl. a 15-year-old lad who had run away from Spokane, and who was being kept until a home could be found for him. There were five other prisoners who did not escape. They said that they did not know anything about the Jail delivery.
