After trare!ln- VXXt tnllea from th
Pacific to th Atlantic and bark to ex
amine parks, auditoriums and play
ground. Dr. J. R. tVetherb. member
of th Park Board of Portland, returned
yesterday enthusiastic over this city and
plrturlnc the possibilities of a Greater
Portland becoming more beautiful and
more prosperous than any other city In
the Lnited State.
Dr. Wetherbr was rone four weeks
and In that ttm visited Denver. St.

Philadelphia. Ituffalo. Chlcairo. Mllwau
Kee. St. Paul. Des Moines, la., and Kan

meet Ins; of the Flaysrounda' Association
st Washington, the National City Plan-
nine Society at Philadelphia and a ses
slon of the Council mcetlna- under the
commission form of government at De
Moines, la. He Inspected seven conven
tion halls and visited 100 or more parka.
The best convention hall 1 B1W was
at Milwaukee.'' said Dr. Wetherbe. "It
has five small halls not connected with
the main auditorium or arena. These
halls hold from 300 to 1ZO0 and th man
user told me that there was not a day
but what they were In use to an organ
ization of one kind or anotner. The main
arena holds 10.000 and I was told that
It was only used eight or ten tlmea a
year.
There was a peculiar condition In
connection with the construction of aud
Itorlums manifest In several places. They
can be built too lirs-e. such was th
case In Denver. There the manager of
th city-oned structur told me that It
was to large for rapid handling.
I spent a nay In Des Moines, where
1 visited the Coliseum. The most Inter
esting event there wa the time spent
at a session of th City Council under
the commission plan of government, rive
men gathered around a table and pro
ceeded In a milet way to transact the
business of the oar. 1 here were no
quarrels or contentions. In th hour or
two I was there, more business wss
transacted than would he attended to
by the average City Council In a day
or two.
At th National City Planning As
sociation meeting 60 cities were repre
sented. It wa a pleasure to note that
the Portland plans were the most atlrac
tlv of any presented and on exhibition
at Philadelphia. Crowds were always In
front of the sketches. I received many
congratulations from delegstes for the
enterprise and fsr-slghtednesa of Port
land In having Its plsns made.
Portland Is certainly th town for
me. I feel aa If It Is the prettiest and
th loveliest spot on earth. The heat
In the Kant was Intolerable and I suf
fered so much that I was taken to
hospital In St- Paul for a dav. The
weather out her Is so delightful that I
wonder why all of the people of the
Middle West do not come out on the
next train.

charge of the campaign for the bond
Issue for the construction of a city
owned auditorium, expressed the opln
ion yesterday that no measure befor
tn people in years would receive so
great a majority as the auditorium
bonds will receive on election dsy.
inquiry nas been made Into what
the proposed auditorium will cost th
taxpayers of Portlanu. An examina
tion of the subject made at the City
Kali has disclosed that the Interest
rharc on noo.ooo. the proposed bond
l-ue. will amount at four per cent
to .) un a year, and at five Der cent
jju.ih'o a year. The 124.000 per
cent is an interest charge upon th
taxable property of Portland of vir
tually on cent on each $100 or
1J centa on each 11000. It Is believed
thst the auditorium will b self-sustaln-
ng and that It wtd pay for Itself In full
ithln the bonding period.

Arrangements for one of the great

ence of California yacht club commo
dores Indorsed an lnter-ocean race to
this city as an added attraction of the
rannma-Californla Exposition In 1916.
The magnitude of the scheme will be
realised only when the entries all are
In. Already several of the more prom
inent yachtsmen of the East have sig

tering their boats, and the star at
traction might well she said to b that
Sir Thomas Lipton has already agreed
to participate, either with one of bis
famous Shumrocks or with a new
yacht built especially for the event.
At the conference it was decided to
hold the race from some seaport on
the Atlantic side of the continent, to
be chosen later, to San Diego harbor,
while the Panama-California Exposi
tion Is being held here. Il was also
decided that the event should be an
endurance and that a handsome cash
prise and a gold trophy cup be offered
the winger. AH the leading yacht
clubs of the Atlantic Coast ar to b
asked to participate. The first for
mal invitation extended by the com
modores of the Southern California
clubs will be sent to Sir Thorns Lipton,
who it is understood has already been
sounded on the matter, which has been
secretly discussed for some time.
It is also agreed at the conference

DULY ARRESTED AGAIN
SCX DAY LIQUOR LAW ALLEGED
VIOLATED SECOND TIME.
Officers Walk Into Minto Saloon
and Buy Whisky, Then Confls
. cate 100 Flasks.
After paying a fine of $100 six days
ago for selling liquor on Sunday. Jack
Daly, bartender for Frank Minto at 246
Flanders street, was arrested yester
day by the same officers, charged with
similar offense. If convicted today
in the Municipal Court, Daly must pay
a fine of from X2f0 to ,500, may be
imprisoned 60 days, and the license,
under the "model" liquor license law
will be automatically forfeited. In an
ticipation of the increased penalty for
the second violation, Daly's bail was
placed at ,500.
The Mlnto saloon Is the nrst to meet
the drastic provisions of the new ordi
nance for repeated offenses. Last Sun
day Patrolman Taft walked Into the sa
loon, the bar of which was Inclosed
by a temporary partition, and met with
no difficulty in buying a flask of
whisky. He arrested the bartender
and secured bis conviction by the Mu
nicipal Court. Yesterday the same per
formance was repeated and the officer,
assisted by Patrolman Royle. confis
cated over 100 flasks of whisky.
The model ordinance makes penalties
especially heavy for violations of the
Sunday closing provision. For other
violations of the ordinance, a third of
fense Is necessary before automatlo
forfeiture takes place, but for Sunday
closing a second offense has this effect.
Gua Carlson and J. Johnson were ar- i
rested by Taft and Royle for "boot- j
legging." They accosted the officers.
who were In plain clothes, and solicited
them to buy whisky, when they ex
pressed willingness, one of the boot
leggers retired to a closet and came
out a moment later with a flask of
whisky.
A citizen reported that Jim Fagley
was selling liquor in a room at tne
Western lodging-house. Royle and
Taft went to the room and found that
Fagley had disposed of nearly all of
his stock, having drunk a large share
of It himself. He was arrested for
being drunk.
