JAIL DEATH SUICIDAL
LLOYD LIGHT FOUT TO RAVE
TAKEV POISON.
Prisoner Kot Author of "Blue En
velope" Says Eastern Editor.
Relatives Send for Body.
Slight traces of cyanide of potassium
were found by Dr. R. E. L. Holt In the
post-mortem examination of the body of
Lloyd Light, self-styled author and al
leged forger, who dropped dead In the
City Jail Monday morning. As the drug
la of very rapid action and a f mall
quantity being sufficient to cause quick
death. It Is Inferred that Light must
have taken the dose just before he
stepped Into the corridor to face the de
tectives in the morning muster.
The prisoner had been subjected to a
earerui search by the Jailer, ana the fact
that bs had the poison shows that he had
planned his aotlon and had secreted the
drug In an obscure part of his clothing.
The development of evidence of suicide
Is received without surprise by those
who knew the man best. He had been a
sufferer all his life, and from clippings
and literature In his possession It Is
known that he had given much thought
to questions -ox aeau ana ui oere&iier.
The body remains in the custody of
the Coroner, but. a message has been
received from the relatives In Jackson
ville, asking that It be sent to Rlpon.
Wis., for Interment.
Light's claims to authorship are dis
credited In a telegrapblo statement made
by the editor of the Saturday Evening
Post. The magaslne editor declares the
author of "The Blue Envelope," claimed
by Light as his production. Is a Phila
delphian, at present In that city.'
1913 CONVENTION IS WON
American Nurserymen Select Port
land After Boston.
J. B Pllldngton yesterday tele
graphed from San Francisco to the
convention bureau of the Commercial
Club, that the American Association
of Nurserymen, at their convention In
St. Louis last week, decided upon Bos
ton for 111. and In favor ef Port
land for 1S1J.
Ths convention bureau had been
hoping to land the 1911 convention of
the paciOo Coast Nurserymen's Asso
ciation for Portland, but It Is Mr. PU
klngton's Idea to make the 111 Na
tional convention, one of the greatest
that has ever been held by the asso
ciation, and for that reason he favors
obtaining the Pacific Coast Nursery
men's Association for Portland in 1311
as well, and In combining the two
conventions, he expects to add greatly
to the Interests of both.
The Pacific Coast Nurserymen's As
sociation Is meeting this week at San
Jose, and Portland's Invitation for 1913
will be presented there.
BOSTON OPEN ON SUNDAY

It was cleaning day aboard ' the

Initial opening for visitors, which will

from the Bremerton Navy-Yard there
remains considerable work to be done
In removing gear from the deck and
generally straightening up her various
departments.
Because the stern of the Boston was
close to the East Side jboro Captain
Bpelor yesterday ordered her further
Into the stream and now she rides near
the main channel, being held by a
kedge anchor forward and a smaller
weight aft. with a heavy line running
ashore from the stern on the port side.
A boom Is to be rigged there so the
militia sailors can follow the tactics
of their regular brethren and ascend
from small boats by means of a ladder
to the Doom ana xnen to me snip, wnue
on the starboard side the regular of
ficers' ladder will remain down. Until

General Flnser appointing an officer in

Boston, and In a short time details
of ' the first annual cruise of the new
organization are- expected' to be made

$2000 GRANTED FAIR
COUNTY AIDS PORTLAND LIVK
- ' STOCK ASSOCLVTION.
Fund' Is Allowed With Understand
ing That Railway Will Doable
Its Tracks to Grounds.
For the aid of the Portland Fair and
Livestock Association's coming fair,
the County Court yesterday appropriat
ed f 1000, that sum being all that could
be spared for that purpose. Represen
tatives of the association have ap
, pealed twice to the County Court for
funds, asking each time for an appro
priation of 110.000.
County Judge Cleeton and Commis
sioner Lighter said that they had
looked over the finances of the county
carefully and had found that it would
not be possible to make a larger ap
propriation than 12000. The law which
was passed at the last session of tne
Legislature allowing tne county au
thorities to 'levy a tax of not to ex
ceed one-tenth of a mill for fair pur
poses was not in effect at the time the
county made its levy for this year, ana
thus no provision was made for it.
. If the County Court makes the full
levy of one-tenth of a mm it win in
sure a revenue of $30,000 a year for
fair purposes, but It is not believed that
tbs County Court will go to that ex
tent. "We want to aid the fair all we can,"
said Judge Cleton. "but we must be
governed by circumstances.' I regret
that w cannot do more for them this
year."
"It Is our purpose to see that the peo
ple get the value of their money," said
Commissioner Llghtner, "but I under
stand that the fair suffers from lack
of attendance on account of there be
ing but a single-track carllne there. It
was solely with the understanding' that
the Portland Railway, Light- & Power
Company would double Us tracks to the
fair grounds that we promised an ap
propriation. The committee that called
on us told us that Mr. Josselyn had
agreed to have the double track laid
by the time the fair was held."
War on Forest Fires Organized.
That the forest fire season of 1911
approaches with better laws and
stronger patrols than were in effect
at the beginning of last season, but
that the last general rains cannot be
counted on to postpone danger beyond
June, Is the substance of a statement
Issued recently by the Western For
estry & Conservation Association after
a systemtlc canvass of field conditions
through its constituent fire-fighting
associations In Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon.
All the timber owners' associations
are making their patrols more efficient
than ever before. In ' Idaho, forces
have been out since May 1 extending
trails and telephone systems, and some
associations already have a man to
every 16,000 acres. The Washington
association has Its men loklng after the
cleaning up of dangerous slashings and
rights of way, and has purchased much
new equipment. Including automobiles
for transporting men and supplies. The
Montana and Oregon associations have
reorganized on a much stronger foot
ing as a result of last year's lesson.
The Forest Service has also devoted
rauoh effort during the Winter to per
fecting its patrol and flre-flghtlng ar
rangements and will work in close co
operation with the states and private
owners.

That a more systematic organization
In the cause of prohibition Involving
the subscription of a greater campaign
fund than heretofore, and the organized
co-operation of the church is necessary
to make the cause of prohibition a fac
tor in Oregon politics was the conclu
sion drawn from yesterday's sessions of
the prohibition organizers' training
school in the four day's programme at
the Young Men Christian Association.
Reasons given for the present lack
of control of the Prohibition party
were: The practice of the Anti-Saloon
League working on nonpartisan stand
ards; the lack of interest and co-operation
of the church, and the lack of a
working state machine In Prohibition
politics.
Mrs. Jackson Sllbaugh, of Seattle, at
present state organizer for the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union In Oregon,
gave an address at the morning session,
her main argument being that the pres-,
ent system of education was faulty In
that there was a deplorable lack of
knowledge among children as to the bane
ful effects of Hquon The use of the
weekly organ of the cause and the lib
eral distribution of campaign litera
ture was urged by I. H. Amos. V. G.
Hinshaw advocated that at least 11000
be raised by every county for the Pres
idential election. , , .
In the evening at the Sell wood branch
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion T. S- McDanlel made an address
on the "Good Man" plan. His main ar
gument was against the practice of not
voting for the Prohibition candidate
on the ground that he was not likely
of election, and urged that the workers
and sympathizers unite on a solid vote
for the Prohibition candidate, and not
ohoose the better man of the leading
political- parties.
