Adage? That Cleanliness Is

tVny American people should spend
valuable time and hard-earned mm'jr to
go to London merely to be "also present"
at the coronation nrraionlrt when they
can more and enjoy themselves bet
ter for less money at the Tortland R
Festival. Is something that Is beyond
the comprehension of W. R. Callaway,
veteran general passenger ot of the
Bon Line, who spent a few hours In the
city yesterday.
Mr. Callaway la one of the beet-known
pawner men In the Wei-t. as well a
one of the best storjj tellers, and haa a
dnllghtfully original way of riving ex
prewston to his Idea.
"I understand that persona al
ready hae applied for admlsxlun to the
coronation ceremonies, but only will
receive U kets. So. you s.-e. there will
ba a few disappointed people, t'nless a
person can aee it from start to finish

charring outlandish prices for seals and
standing room on the streets facing- the
line of march. A friend of mine haa a
little cottage on a London street alone
which the procession la to pass, and he
has rented It f'r the week for -. It
Is more than the place la worth. Some

NAVAL PROBE TONIGHT
TKOIB1.K IX MILITIA WILL BE
BROUGHT INTO COCRT.
Now. In coming to Portland, all that
Is different. I know, for I have seen
both kinds of events. I never attended
a coronation, but I .was precsnt at Queen
Victoria's Jubilee, and I guess they had
about everything there that they will
have at the coronation. Why. this Rose
Show here haa the London show beat la
very way and there is more fun.
"A person can coma to Portland and
see everything. There will be no prlcea
so high that a man will have to be a
millionaire, or go broke to see what Is
going on.
. -And. honestly. In my estimation. I
would rather pay to see a Portland Rose
Festival than to see a coronation for
nothing.
"In this connection I can't think or
Portland without thinking of Spokane,
j just came from there, and I find that
they have a pretty nice city. It is going
to be nicer still. Tou get a good Im
pression of Spokana as soon as you get
off the train a better Impression. I feel,
than you get of Portland after getting
off the train here. Now. that Isn't as It
should be. Portland should te the model
town for the whole Northwest, for the
entire Coast, for that matter. It ought
to coma next to Minneapolis In every
thing that pertains to civic Improvement.
Of course, you understand. Minneapolis,
where I live. Is the greatest town in the
country. Portland could come next If It
wanted to be. It K "" already. It
hould be.
Fatherly Advice Given.
There Is one thing that I feel that I
ran criticise Portland on Jd I guena
m old enough now that I can go about
expressing my vlewa so that they will
be accepted In the fatherly way In which
they are Intended without giving offense
and that criticism la with reference to
what seems to be a civic carelessness,
or a publlo disregard for the old maxim
that reminds us that cleanliness Is next
to godliness.'
"I dont know how saintly the people
of Portland are Individually or collect
ively, but publicly It appears that you
are so engaged with the enormous amount
ef business you are doing all the time
that you don't give attention to those
details. Tou are so wealthy that you
think you don't have to clean up. That s
where Spokane ranks over Portland and
every other city In the Northwest. I
hope Portland soon will come to the
point where more consideration will be
given the matter of civic cleanliness.
"But that Just reminds me that we all
are looking for the millennium but al
ways expect somebody else . to es
tablish It.'

In an effort to Induce the County Court
to prohibit amoking In tiie Courthouse.
Judge Advocate Bauer Sajs Scope of
Investigation Will Not Be
Closely Restricted.
Judge Advocate Bauer, of the Our?
of Inquiry appointed by Adjutant-Genera!
Flnxor to inquire Into the trouble
between officers of the Oregon Naval
Militia. hM formally notified J. F. Blaln
and George 8. Shepherd, the principal
parties to the controversy, that the first
session of t court will be at tnc
Armory this evening at S o'clock anu
that they are expected to produce their
witnesses at that time. ,
-It lei Impossible to say aa yet Just
what the ecope of the Inquiry will be."
said Major Bauea "That will depend
largely on the nature of the testimony
given by witnesses we examine tonight.
I anticipate that it may be necessary
for ua to receive evidence as to the
causes which led up to the fight at the
Armory, In which case it Is possible that
much of the history of the Reaerve since
Its Inception will be heard."
Practically all the officers of the Ore
gon Naval Militia and many of the
enlisted men who had knowedge of the
bitter feeling between Captain Shepherd
and Lieutenant-Commander Blaln will be
called upon to testify. It will be the
province of the Court of Inquiry to de
termine the quantity and nature of the
testimony of the witnesses. Major Bauer
vayei that it Is hampered by no rules
of evidence aa la a civil court.
The Elaln group will. It Is anticipated,
attempt to show that Shepherd and Mc
Nulty have not the Interest of the JIHItla
at heart but are merely In It for political
purposes and that they are Incompetent
to hold the offlcea of Captain and Com
mander, the two highest In the entire
organisation, their Incompetency arising
from lack of knowledge of navigation.
Shepherd refuses to say how he will
conduct hle elde of the rase, declaring
that It la unseemly to discuss the con
troversy publicly now that a formal In
quiry la to be made. It la understood,
however, that Shepherd will contend that
he was entirely within his right as

KKIISH CAN BE SENT AT OXCE.
She Will Be First of Her Sex to In
habit Stat Penitentiary for
Two Years.
Mrs. Carrie Kersh. sentenced to IS
years In the state prison for her part
in the murder of William Johnson at
the Grand Central Hotel about a year
ago, will be the first prisoner of her
sex to be confined in the penitentiary
for two years. A letter from C, W.
James, superintendent of the peniten
tiary, received by Judge Morrow yes
terday, says there are three ample ac
commodations for the woman and that
she may be sent as soon as the court
desires. Judge Morrow had written to
the prison to determine If there were
any available rooms for Mrs. Kersh, or
If It would be necessary to retain her
In the. County Jail for the time being.
Superintendent James said in his let
ter that the prison Is provided with
. - -.1 1 kv s feet each, for
Lwomen. and that they are entirely dis
connected 1 1 in in. i"t " .
the prison. Continuing he says:
"These wards for female prisoners
have been vacant for more than two
years. They are provided with toilet,
bath room, and wardrobe, and when oc
cupied, are supplied with bedsteads,
bedding, chairs, table and other neces
sary equipment. Including a sewing
machine which they are required to use
In manufacturing underwear and light
clothing for the Inmates of the Institu
tion. While these wards have not been
occupied now for some time, they are
alwaya kept In readiness for occupancy
whenever there la any call for their
use, for confinement of women pris
oners." The crime in which Mrs. Kersh par
ticipated was one of the most revolting
In the history of the city. Mrs. Kersh
and J. P. Webb, who haa been con-
demmned to death, were found Dy tneir
juries to have killed Johnson In a cold
blooded manner, taking hla money from
him. and then placing- his body In a
trunk, which waa shipped to the Union
depot. Blood running out of the trunk
drew attention to It. and brought about
the discovery of the crime.
As the court was waiting; to hear
from the prison authorities regarding
accommodations for Mrs. Kersh. It Is
expected that she will be ordered at
once to Salem to begin her long ser
vice of Imprisonment.

SEERESS IS DISAPPOINTED
Mayor .Refuses to Receive Proof of
Psychic Power.
A woman who neglected to leave her
name, called upon Mayor Simon yester
day and wanted to give a seance in his
office. She said she had recently ar
rived from Denver, where she had been
practicing clalrvoyancy and she was
amazed upon reaching Portland to find
that the ordinances do not permit this.
When the Mayor Informed the woman
that she could not practice here either
for money or otherwise, she was dum
founded, and said that she would like
to give a demonstration in, his private
office, to show that she could peer Into
the future and unveil what Is hidden
there. The Mayor, however, was too
busy at the moment to participate In

tuv "i-1"" .
plaining that he was not empowered to
give special permits, anyway and that
even the Mayor must comply with the
city's laws.
Tf urns with trreat reluctance that the
woman withdrew, and as she did so, she
declared that she guessed she had been
mistaken' when she decided, upon this
city, that It was a "live place."
