"In coming to Portland we have faith
In the future. I would like to talk with
you upon the question of rents. If the
rents which are scheduled to me by some
of my friends are being paid. I would
sujrcest that some of yon be careful In
tnaatng commitments. Merchants can
only pay so much per square foot. He
that pars more than the business can
stand placea himself In a dangerous pre
dicament. Therefore It aeems to me that
the business district ss at present consti
tuted In this city must widen. I am not
- to be understood as saying that danger
lurks in the path of high rents In Port
land. What I wl.ih to convey la that
there la a reasonable rule for establish
tng what you can afford to pay and to
that rule vou should apply yourself."

Woman's Terror of Former Hus
band's Black Emissary.
NEW TORK. March IJ. (Special.)
Wllford H. Smith, lawyer of Booker
T. Washington, said today he had dis
covered a real motive for the assault
on Dr. Washington last Sunday night.
He said Mrs. Albert Clrlch. the
woman who says Dr. Washington
spoke to her. mistook him for a negro
who had tried to steal her 10-year-old
daughter two or three weeks ago. She
told her husband that the same negro
waa banging around the apartment-
house on Sunday night, and the beat
ing followed. The kidnaping story, as
Mr. Smith gets It runs as follows:
Mrs. ITrlrh's little girl Is carried
Dolores Alvarez. She is the daughter
of a former husband, a man of Span
ish birth named Alvarez, from whom
she Is separated. Alvares had threat
ened to take his child away from the
flat In which his wife waa living aa
Mrs. "L'lrlch. and she feared he wonld
do It. Alvares appeared two or three
weeks ago with a negro at her door
and said he was going to take Dolores
away. The mother locked herself In
with tha child and presently Alrafes
and the negro departed.
She told Ulrlch about the attempted
kidnaping and both of them were on
guard against another demonstration.
Then Dr. Washington happened along j
looking for D- C- Smith, the Tuskegee
auditor. In the dim light of the ves
tibule Mrs. Ulrlch thought he was the
negro of the previous encounter and
ran to Ulrlch with the Inflaming news.
Patient Snes Doctor for 925,000.
Alleging that Dr. J. O. Grim failed to
administer properly to an Injury re
ceived when at work In Clackamas
County. R B. Hayhurst has brought suit
against him for t5.M0 damages. Tbe
plaintiff declares that Grim did not aet
fracture of his left leg in a skillful
nd professional manner, and as a re
sult the Injury has not healed properly.
He declares thst he haa been unfit to
work. He says that he waa earning $3.j0
a day before the accident. - - - -
PARDONS TO STOP
PR SDN

State Penitentiary Crowded,
Governor West Plans to
Use Novel Remedy.
FUNDS DEEMED NOT AMPLE
Executive, Opposing Deficiencies,
Haa Drastic Moto In Yievr Con
victs Fin Foot-th Tier of
Cells, Before Cnnsed.
SALEM. Or, March 22. (Special.) In
carrying out the policy announced by
lDER HAT-IE OF
the State Board that no deficiencies will
be allowed at the state Institutions. Gov
ernor West will lnsugurate one of the
moat drastic moves ever attempted in
the state In connection with the State
Penitentiary, and will prevent deficien
cies at that Institution by a liberal use
of the pardoning power.
At present the prison Is filled to over
flowing, there being 475 Inmates. During
the last two or three months there has
been an unprecedented Increase whica
has filled every available space.
Every Tier Filled.
Tn his report Superintendent James
showed an average of 412. the greatest
In the history of the state up to that
time. Under the present conditions,
m-hich have arisen since the legislative
session, there are 475, creating the ne
cessity of stowing prisoners away In
the fourth tier, h'gh above the windows,
which collects all of the foul air aris
ing from the tiers underneath. In this
fourth tier are a few extra cells that
have never before been used.
Funds Not Ample
Superintendent James recommended to
the Legislature that 48 new cells be In
stalled and that a maintenance appro
priation of I151.CX be given the prison,
this being on a basis of 4. prisoners.
The Legislature reduced this figure ar
bitrarily to tltZOOO, and as a result the
conditions are such that the appropria
tion will not be sufficient to cover the
needs of the prison.
With these facts confronting him. Gov
ernor West declares that he Intends to
make good his declaration that there will
be no deficiencies.
Pardons My Be Remedy.
He sees only one method for remedying
the conditions that Is to keep the num
ber of prisoners down to a basis where
the fltooo will provide plenty of food,
plenty of clothing and plenty of suste
nance for Inmates at the penitentiary.
There Is a single way tn which this can
ie accomplished, and that is by frequent
and wholesale pardons, when this Is con
sidered a necessity by the Executive, and
this plan will be followed.
PLAYGROUND PLAN LAID
Charter Amendment 3fay Be Xeeded
to "Legalise Commission.
L. H. Welr. field secretary of the Play
ground Association of America, waa the
speaker last night at a meeting of the
Park Board snd the Board of Educa
tion, held In the Tilford building. Mayor
Simon, J. R. Wetherbee, L. G. Clarke.
Ion Lewis. B. T. Mierhe. R. 1 Sabln. J.
V. Besch and I. N. Flelschner were present-It
was decided that tha park and school
boards ought to work together In se
curing playgrounds, and that the best
way to do this Is to have a commis
sion appointed, a part of whose members
shall come .from the Park Board and a
part from the School Board. Another
meeting will be held at J P. M. Sat
urday to discuss the best way to organize
this commission. Mayor Simon said he
did not think the City Counc. bad power
to create a playground commission. It
was thought an amendment to the char
ter would have to be made before this
commission could have power to handle
funds of the School Board. If the com
mission Is organized it will be for the
present only an advisory body, gathering
data and making recommendations to
the school and park boards.
