SITE IS TO BE SELECTED
Vays and Means Committee Will
Bring Subject to Attention or
Council, Which Will Ask Ex
ecutive Board to Act.
Mayor Simon and members of Hie City
Council ar united in tile belief that Port
land must have a new, modern City Jail,
Municipal Court, police headquarters anil
rmerRriioy hospital building, and this will
probably be built In the immediate future.
The Council ways and means committee.
J efterduy afternoon, voted a recommenda
tion to the Council that the Executive
Board be authorized and. requested to
sel?ct a site for the building, and to fur
nish a design and all necessary data, with
the cost of the whole undertaking, and
to send the facts to the Council at the
earliest poft-ible date.
While some differ In their opinion as to
where the new municipal building should
be located. It is generally believed it will
be placed on the site of the present City
Jail building, at Second and Oak streets.
A proposition has been made to the Coun
cil to purchase a strip 26x95 feet. ad
Joining on the north the property on which
the present structure is located. This Is
controlled by J. A. Taylor, who has
offered it to the city for $60,000: or he
will trade the ground to the city for the
rights in the Stark-street slip on the river
on even terms. This matter has not been
discussed officially. but when Mayor
Simon was Informed of the price asked for
the properly on Second street, he said
that it la too high.
"'I am heartily In favor of a new build
ing for the police headquarters. Muni
cipal Court, emergency hospital and City
Jail." said Mayor Simon, when asked for
his views on the matter. "Portland must
have this improvement; w cannot get
along without it any longer. It Is a
shame to have such an old, worn-out,
dilapidated thing for human use as that
building the police, are now housed in.
Tht was one of the few things I upoke
about prior to my election, and I intend
to build the new structure right away."
It has been discovered that there will
probably be enough money In the gen
eral fund to build this new structure and
lo a crematory, and it is thought that
these two needed improvements can be
bad without the sale of any bonds, but
the Mayor declanes that both will be
built, and if It is necessary to sell part
or all of the crematory bonds, that he
win sanction the sale, as he declares
the city cannot longer go without either
of the projected buildings.
Members of the Council ways and mans
committee spoke very stronglv in favor
of a new municipal building. Councilman
Wallace finally moving that the Council
pass a resolution, requesting the Execu
tive Board to furnish the necessary data,
and to select a site for the building at
the earliest possible date. The Council
will undoubtedly art upon this recom
mendation tomorrow: the Executive Board
will meet FYirtay afternoon and the mat
ter will thus be promptly taken up and
the project carried forward rapidly.
The present City Jail has for years been
the subject or severe criticism on the
municipal administration. Numerous
rand juries have censured it in strong
terms, and many attempts have ben
made by various regimes to Improve the
situation, but never with anv success
The building is too small for the needs of
the city, and the conditions under which
th Police Department is run greatly
cripple Its efficiency, it being impossible
to properly house the officers, and fhe
Municipal Courtroom Is not nearly large
enough to accommodate the court requirements-.
The detective bureau was re
cently moved Into rented rooms In an
adjoining building because of lack of room
in the city's structure.

J Detective Day held a crowd of circus
j men at bay yesterday afternoon -with a
, cocked revolver, while he placed flie
manacles with his free hand on John
i Pcullln. an alleged noted pickpocket, at
I V' Wa,1,,-Hasnbeck circus grounds.
This action followed an attempt on the
part of a crowd to wrest the prisoner
from the sleuth.
Two reports of clever pocket plcklne
w'?. '"P0''"-! to the police Sunday
night, and Detectives Day and Snow

sought out the circus grounds under
the theory that the "dip" would at

to wrest the prisoner from the detec

the detective drew his revolver and
repulsed the man, and a crowd of
other circus hands, who gathered about

A John Doe warrant was issued last
evening for the circus hand at the in

I
sometimes one is inclined to wonder what
else Is left ' for the trainers to do in
teaching their dumb pupils. The answer
is to be found at the Orpheum this week
in Sam Watson's Farmyard Circus. There
is full Justification for saying that this, is
one of tile most entertaining exhibitions
of its kind Portland has seen. .
Sam Watson' is an English expert, a
fat, kindly Johnny-Bull-looking person,
and he knows his business thoroughly.
His educated' scholars include a donkey,
a number of fascination dogs, a surpris
ingly Intelligent cat. a pair of geese, a
lamb of the genuine Mary variety and
lastly a trained pig. of much interest.
These remarkable animals give an exhi
bition that cannot fail but be popular
during the week. It's a ' genuine hit.
'Trimmed"' is a clever sketch.-set In
a manicure shop, in which Madge Pierce
Bruce Brayton. Albert Pelers and Will
iam McKey appear advantageouslv. It
is a funny little farce and is assuredly
calculated to please.
By all rights the third number in point
of interest on the programme is , the
clever clowning of GrifT. an English music

a real humorist. He is a rare delight

"HE headline attraction this week at
the Grand is Eva Mudge, a light
ning change artist who has appeared
with success here and abroad, and who
without doubt breaks the record - for
quick changes. The stage represents
an army camp to which Miss Mudge
appears In the guise of a lieutenant.
From an 'officer to a Red Cross nurse
she evolves in four seconds, the same
rapid-fire changes marking the numer
ous characters she portrays. She also
sings and recites according to the peo
ple she impersonates.
"Mrs Flotter's First" is a farce pre
sented by Mac M. Barnes, Louise Rem
Ing and Robert W. Graham, which tells
in an entertaining way of a woman
who is eternally telling her second hus
band of the virtures of her first. The
Telegraph Four, are a quartet of boy
singers who. make good in a stunt, com
prising nonsense, singing and dancing.
Sados gives a comical Juggling act

Carita Day and her dancing Georgia

ovation. Miss Kent, in conjunction with
William V. Mong - and Donah Benrlmo
(the latter in private life is Mrs. Walter
Reed), give in a breezy manner a clever
playlet,' called "Sold." of which Miss
Kent is author. The sketch abounds
with bright lines and has the novelty
of -an original theme. Both Donah
Berino .and Miss Kent appear in hand
some gowns, the latter in particular
wearing a stunning creation of a hat
laden with willow plumes that must have
