The placard read: Clark Quoted Against Himself. "I do not know how long we shall be here, but aa Ions; a I am here. I Intend to fight for the rl-tht to amend every section of every great bill which romie Into this House, and 1 do not rare a straw whether the Democrats control the House or the Republicans.

With the object of advancing tho science and practice of engineering and architecture and to maintain a high pro fessional standard. 10 members of tho two professions met in the convention hall of the Commercial Club last night and perfected the organisation of a so ciety to be known as the "Oregon Society of Engineers." Practically every engineer In the city was present to participate In the delib erations. Officers chosen were: Presi dent. V. C.

"HiNKY DINK" IN DANGER 1IC AND B.VTIIHOrsK JOHN" MAY HE KLIMIXATED. Xevr Census Makes Polblo Redls trilling Uiloh Will Swamp Plve Vote of First Ward. CHICAGO. Feb. . (Special.) Re form politicians are over-Joyed In an ticipation of a new way for the possi ble elimination of "Bathhouse John" and Htnky iJInk" from public life. The present population of the wards of the elty. as shown by the Federal rrnsus. makes It certain that In a re- districting the First Ward will riavo to be enlarged to something like dou ble Its present alse to bring about equality In representation. Great effort will be made py me po litical enemies of Coughlin and Kenna to take in a population which will es sentially change the character of the electorate and put a speedy end to the boss Ism of the two First Ward states men. Men who have studied tho ground critically believe this change can bo brought about without resort ing to any shoestring" method of forming new wards. The assessed valuation of property In the ward over which Coughlin and Ksnna preside Is nearly $300,000,000. It Is Jauntily referred to as "the rich est ward In the world." Tho men who have been Aldermen as far back as the memory of most Chlcagoans runs have been elected by majorities ranging from iOOO to (ODO. according to the urgency of tho need to get out tho Coughlln-Kenna vote for other candi dates on the same tletet. Probably no addition to the ward likely to bo made will change Ita complexion politically as to partlea. but tho "Bath" and Hin k y- understand tho possibilities of per sonal elimination. They are not going to be caught napping. They are far-sighted and doubtless have been doing soma peer ing of their own Into tho future. Tho redisricting period comes around at a time when tho Democrats have the whip hand. This may work to the ad vantage of Coughlin and Kenna when tho time cornea.

DE LASSY IS PUT TO TEST If, COURT Count Accused of Poison Plot Gives Samples of His Own Typewriting. DOCTOR EXPLAINS SCHEME Pol.ton Was to Be) Placed In Hole Drilled In Iodine Tablet De Lassy's Defense Is Apparent ly Blackmail by Doctor. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. . Count Tatrlck O'Brien de Lassey. who, with Ir. Pantchenko. Is being tried for the poisoning of Count Boulurlln, occupied tho center of the stage at the proceed ings today. The prosecution Is en deavoring to establish that DeLassy wrote a letter to Pantchenko relating to tho plan to poison both General Bouturlln and hla son. The typewritten letter was found among Pantchenko's papers at the time of his arrest. The envelope was miss ing, and Pantchenko explained he had thrown It away. The authorship has been attributed by Pantchenko to De I.assy. who stoutly denies this. As a test. De Laasy was Instructed to recopy a portion of the letter on hla own type writer, which was taken Into court to day. Surrounded by gendarmes and type writing experts, ho wrote two lines with great difficulty and then pleaded eye fatigue. An examination of the lines showed he had made one gross error. Experts Disagree on Letter. The experts were about evenly di vided. One government expert said the letter had been written- on De Lassy's machine: another that It was written on a Union machine, but It was Impos sible to say whether It was De I-assy's or somebody's else. One expert for the defense declared definitely the letter had not been written on De Lassy's machine- Others took the ground that the data were not sufficient to warrant any conclusion. The Interpretation of the letter also Is presenting difficulties. Tbe letter bears no date, and reads: !ar Doctor: Received your letter, but could not see you. ss I was not alone. Could do nothing here, as the weather was too cold for Iodine, but commence In short while. Khali soon some. In expectation, study well technical sldo of the question. Your patient will arrive on the 12th. Ac cept best sreetinrs for New Tear's until we m"t armln. do to ministry. Pantchenko Tells Poison Scheme. In his confession. Pantchenko ex plained that tho "Iodine" referred to the plan to poison General Bourturlln and that the words "technical side" referred to the plan to poison young Bourturlln. In his testimony yester day, however, Pantchenko said, "tech nical side" made no reference to Bou turlln. but probably referred to a plan to open a sanitarium at Vilna or a laboratory or other business project which bs had discussed with De Laasy. The question of poisoning General Bouturlln Is not concerned la the pres ent case and Pantchenko allowed him self greater latitude regarding the In terpretation of the passage referring to "Iodine." He explained that "Iodine" did not refer to a schema to dispose of General Boaturlln. but to the preparation of one of the tablets of iodine which General Bouturlln waa In the habit of taking. The plan waa to bore a hole In tho tablet and drop a poisonous powder therein, sealing the tablet up again. Pantchenko said he gave De Laasy a quantity of sulphuric magnesia, for this purpose. Pantchenko made no objection to tho remark of the medical experts that this compound was harmless, aa his plan of defense seems to be to show that De Lassy proposed the poisoning and that he himself pretended to agree to the carrying out of tbe plot for the sake of the money, but that he did not employ any effectlva means to this end and that Count Vaasilt Bourturlln's death was purely accidental. Count De Lassy's attitude apparently is thst he hss been made the victim of blackmail. Tho testimony In the evening threw light on tho mysterious schemes of Psntchenko and De Lassy long before the death of Count Vasslll. A' tele gram from Pantchenko addressed to De Lassy. dated March IS. 1909. read ing: "Remit fSOO. will arrange affair." was read In evidence. Pantchenko explained this referred to tho sale of De Lassy's house at VI Ins, but tho prosecutor established that Da Lassy acquired the house In July, 1909. STATE MAY HONOR TWO BRONZE OF G. II. WILLIAMS AT CAPITAL ASKED. 910,000 Fund Sought to Honor Memory or "Grand Old Man." Statute of J.I. W. Scott Wanted.' STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or., Feb. . (Special.) In honor of George H. Will iams, a bill will be Introduced in the Senate by Senator Abraham tomorrow asking for an appropriation of J10.0"0 to erect a statue of him in Statuary Hall, Washington. D. C. Statuary Hall, was formerly the Hall of Representatives at the National Capi tal, but by an act of lv4. approved by Abraham Lincoln. It waa converted into Statuary Hull, every Mate In the Union being allowed two alutues of Its dis tinguished citizens. Coat of statues already situated there range from ti5ui to tu.&uu. and Abn t nra believes a 110.000 appropriation would be as smull as possible to make a respecta ble showing for Oregon. The original plan was to Introduce a bill asking for statues for George II. Williams and Harvey W. Scott, as the two most distinguished Oregon cltlxens. But It was believed tho appropriation would b so large as to kill the blli and tbe legislators say that the name of Harvey W. Scott Is a name holding such a high position In Oregon that whatever Legislature In tho future may decide to erect the second statue, there is no room for doubt that tho honor will be extended to the memory of the West's foremost editor. .
