The loss to tha building and adjoin
ing property la estimated at $5000. Tha
property ta owned by Andrew Allen,
who Uvea at 130 Tenth atreet. His
borne caught fire several tlraea from

The fire la supposed to have origi

SUSPENDED BODY FOUND
Old Man Doubles String With Which

AUDITORIUM SITE
MAY BE CHANGED
Obstacles Toward Securing
Market Street Ground
Are Encountered.
LEGAL POINT IS RAISED
Ziegler Amendment to Charter Pro
hibits Vacation of Any 6treet
Within S00O Feet of Rleer
and War Out Is Sought.
An entirely new site may have to
be selected for tpe auditorium, accord
ing to developmenta met In the course
of the Commission s work. The Com
mission has agreed that the Mar
ket block will not provide adequate
ground space for the auditorium, and
have planned for aome time to secure
either the half block, or the full block
south across Market street, but to do
this It will be necessary to secure the
vacation of Market street, lying be
tween the two points, and It Is In do
ing this that the obstacles present
themselves.
Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman of the
Commission, said yesterday that un
der the provisions of the Zlegler
amendment to the charter, adopted by
Initiative at the last city election. It
might be found Impossible to vacate
this street. Thla amendment prohibits
the vacation of any street within J000
feet of the river, and Market street,
at the proposed point, would fall un
der the ban.
Opinio la Awaited.
The Commleelon has placed the mat
ter In the hands of the City Attorney,
who will render an opinion.
Another obstacle which presents It
self, although It may not prove so
formidable as the first. Is the fact that
It would be necessary to secure the
consent of all tho property owners
along Market street, between First
and Second, and between Third and
Fourth streets, for the vacation of the
propoeed site.
In case they secure the vacation of
Market atreet. the Commission does not
anticipate any difficulty !n purchasing
either the half block, nor the full
block, aa they deem expedient, on the
south side. Meanwhile the Commission
Is actively at work.
The plans for the building are to be
submitted October S5. and the Jury that
will pasa upon them, consisting of E.
F. Lawrence, adviaory architect of the
Commission, and two other prominent
architects, will probably be given an
other week In which to pass upon
them.
apeetflratleaa Are Tentative.
The choosing of another location
would not alter the plans for the
building. The specifications, as fur
nished to the competitors, are tenta
tive, and the Commission would hava
the power to alter the plana as to the
alze of the building, and In minor de
tails, after they have' been selected. By
starting with ths length of the Market
street block. Including the 60-foot
width of Market street, and taking la
a quarter block on the south side of
the street. 60 by 200 feet, a building
apace of 100 by S10 feet would be
bad. By eliminating 10 feet at the
south end of this for sidewalk and
street purposes, the building length
would be reduced to 280 feet. These
are the figures given the architects.
Prominent architects from all over
the country are competing with each
other In tha submleslon of plans, and
the Commission Is satisfied that there
will be no lark of them to choose from.
A number of architects have been In
the city, looking over the ground.
The author of the plans deemed sec
ond best will be awarded a cash prize
of $1000, and the three "plans Judged
next In order will be awarded cash
prizes of t00 each.
HARBOR TRIP PLEASES
PORTLAND BUSINESS MEN JUBI
LANT OV RETURN.
Visitors at Bridge Opening at'Aber
deen Accorded Ovation by
Harbor Folk.
Jubilant over what they had seen
and heard, St Portland business men
returned to the city yesterday tn a spe
cial train from Aberdeen. Wash., where
they attended the dedication of the new
railroad bridge over the Chehalla River
at Gray's Harbor, whloh connects South
Aberdeen and Aberdeen proper and
opena up a through freight and pas
senger line between the Grara Harbor
district and Portland.
Leaders of the party declared the trip
to have been throughly successful and
nredlet a great amount of good to be
reoelvad by Portland In the opening of
the new line. The dedication waa highly
Interesting. Nothing was left undone
In tha way of reception for the visitors
from Portland. Seattle and Tacoma.
Portland led In the slse of Its delegation
and members of the party declare they
made more noise than all other dele
gations combined.
In Aberdeen there were 1T7 visitors
In all. Incoming trains were met by
a crowd of about S&00 Aberdeen peo
ple. When the Portland special ar
rived, the delegation got out of the cars
and marched single file up through the
streets to the tune of "Rings on Her
Fingers." to which catchy words were
arranged. Tha "Injun file" march waa
headed by C D. Josselyn. After the
march the Portland delegation mounted
ons of the big platforms and gave a
round of rousing "town yells" and
sang specially arranged songe whils
the Aberdeen people cheered.
In the parade the Portlanders
marched In a body and were cheered
loudly. The delegation, later, went
en masse to Cosmopolls. a small neigh
boring town, where they were received
by Edward Cooney at hla picturesque
home made entirely of native lum
ber. At night tha delegations from Port
land. Seattle and Tacoma were enter
tained at a banquet at tbe Knights of
Pythlaa Hall, and good cheer reigned
supreme. Ona of the main features of
the programme .waa the Illumination of
a miniature of tha nsw Chehslis bridge.
It was brought out In artlstlo fashion
by small lights. The baU waa dark
ened and a train aped out on the bridge
casting a bright headlight across ths
room. When the miniature train
stopped, the headlight waa on a white
sheet on the opposite side of the room,
and varlona aentlmenta were flashed by
means of tha headlight, which was a
magle lantern. A loud round of cheer
ing was the response.
Tbe programme of the evening in
cluded addresses by ths following: E.
B. Piper, vice-president of the Portland
Commercial Club; George 8, 6tone, of
Tacoma: J. Goldsmith, of 8eattle; R. B.
Miller, traffic manager of the 0.-W. R.
N.; Vice-President IngersolL of the
Chicago, Milwaukee dc St. Paul; Vice
President Nutt. of the Northern Pa
clflo: Carl R. Gray, president of the
North Bank road; WUUam McMurray,
general passenger sgent of the O.-W.
R. 4 N.; T. H. Martin, publicity man
ager of tha Tacoma Commercial Club;
W. E. Anderson, publicity manager of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce; C
C Chapman, publicity manager of the
Portland Commercial Club; Congress
man Fordney; N. B. Coffman. of Che
halls; E. C Miller, president of the Ab
erdeen Chamber of Commerce, and J.
B.. Bridges, of Aberdeen, who also act
ed as toastmaster.
C C Chapman declares the new rail
road and bridge across the river mean
mucb to Portland. 'The southwestern
part of Washington," he said. "Is an
extremely rich country. Lumber Is the
main product at present, but it will not
be long before dairying Is a main In
dustry. Mr. Coffmann at the banquet
stated It will take 80 yeara for the
wheat of Washington to equal tha lum
ber tonnage available north of Aber
deen In the Olympio Peninsula. By the
time the lumber Is all cut the district
being worked now will be reforested."
Aberdeen and Chehalla people have
adopted a "Monroe doctrine" which was
announced during the visit of the Port
land men to tho celebration. Those two
cities snd In fact all of southwestern
Washington will oppose with Just as
much vim as the, United States will op
pose Infringements on Its Monroe Doc
trine claims, any attempt to tap the
western part of the Olympic Peninsula
from the eastern side. They will also
oppose any attempt to tap the fertile
Newaukum Valley east of Chehalla In
any way but through Chehalis. The
entire district Is pulling for Grays
Harbor, and any attempt to divert
trade through any other channel will
be vigorously protested.
The Gray'a Harbor district is grow
ing at a remarkable rate. New saw
mills are building, the city Is gaining
Importance through Its shipping possi
bilities and with the two new railroads
which enter Aberdeen over the new
bridge the future of the district has
promise.
So far two trains have been arranged
from Portland to Aberdeen dally. The
runing time Is much shorter than
heretofore ,
SALESMEN RAP MD
TRAVELERS ASSOCIATION DE
PLORES SLAVE CHARGES.
Since Organization of Order Aim
Has Been for Moral Vpllft,
Declares Slate President.
The commercial travelers of the city
resent the Imputation that there Is
any widespread organization among
their members for the purpose of car
rying on the white slave traffio In
connection with the arrest of Troy
McDavid at San Francisco last week.
The Travelers' Protective Association
will hold a quarterly meeting Satur
day night In this city, when the sub
ject will be discussed.
"So far as 1 Know," said C. P. Fra
sler, president of the state branch of
the association, last night. "McDavid
was not a member of the Travelers'
Protective Association. We deem it
unfair to lay any such charge as that
of trafficking In young girls at the
Ann- nt trivlinr salesmen In fireneral.
simply because one who has been en-
gaged In It happens to be a traveling
aalesman. .
"The constant aim of tbe Travelers'
Protective Association has been the
moral uplift of those engaged as com
mercial travelers. It would do as
much as any institution In this coun
try towsrds breaking up the white
slave' traffic If occasion - presented
Itself.
"Twenty years ago a salesman to
be successful had to be an all-round
sport, and the reputation Is still cling
ing to him. It has been the purpose
of the order to remove all grounds for
this report."
