He declined, saying hi Ringing rolce wa not In good trim. Charles R Merrick, rhilrm.n of the day. Immediately railed for the record, which had been secured for the occasion. "I listen to my own word, yet I am silent." said the gipsy. "God I re cording all the words you speak, and all the deed you do. If you eipect to lira In the world to come, make your record clear." J. R. U el her Wee I breaker. After Olpsy Smith's peech on "How Admen Should I-Ire to Oet the Bet Reiulta." Ir. J. ft- Wetherbee wa railed upon to, explain the Bennett plan. He told of the way London was built In 1. when 8!r Christopher Wrenn. the civic architect, after the lira, prepared plan for Indon. upon which the city today la largely built. He said there were many faults, which had to be corrected, and that on the King's Highway alone. In the pat year. It had been necessary to expend $15. AA.nOA In widening and straightening. Tarta. Berlin. Chicago and other cities, he said, are now spending mil lions to conform to well organised plans, and all this money would hare been saved If plans had been drawn before the fltle had grown to such great sts. and had been followed. Dr. Wetherbee pointed out that It will take loo year to complete the Improvements In Portland, contem plated by the Bennett plan, that part f the work Is scheduled to be done In ten years, part In IS year after that, and still other work In the 5 years ' following. Mreeta Be Wldeae. Among the Improvements contem plated rt the widening of the arteries of travel Burnstde. Madison. Park street and Hawthorne avenue. The plans alro call for the widening of I'nlon avenue from St. Johns to Burn side street. It Is proposed to make these changes In order to provide for the quick transportation and easy dis tribution of Portland's coming popula tion. "The plans provide for subways." aid Pr. Wetherbee. "although I have heard statements made to the con trary by some person unacquainted with the facts. Provision la made for subways under the river and under the great arteries. Kztensive terminal facilities are provided for. as well a great facilities along the waterfront for vessels. "The plan also provide for "S00 acres of parks. Portland now has only 70S acres or parka, having the smallest park area of any city of Its size In the t'nlted State. Chicago ha adopted plan for 50.000 acres of parks. New York plans for loo.OOO acre, and London plana for T5.000 acre. t'et t Katlsaated. "It I unnecesary to estimate at this time what the entire Bennett plan for Portland will cost to put Into execu tion, as It covers a long series of years, and the on Idea I to make rortland. as a city, harmonious. The' present generation can realise only, that part of the plans which will be carried out during Its lifetime." Dr. Wetherbee explained the plans In detail, from maps and Illustrations. He reiterated Mr. Bennett's statement that Portland will be a city of 2.000.000 Inhabitants long before 100 years ex pire, and that the plans will be a god send to future generations. The plans will do more toward sanitation and healthfulness and world fame for Port land as a city of beauty than any other thing which could be accomplished, he said. Olpsy Smith said the Bennett plans are wonderful. He said there Is a Christian way to build a city. Better lay plans for a mansion than for a mud hut. ha said. Too much effort ought not to be put forth In trying to get ahead of the other fellow, said the evangelist, for the Christian life give things of greater value than wealth, mansion or sordid pleasure. He remarked that when he left Se attle a number of friends presented Mm with an umbrella, saying ha would probably need It when he arrived In Portland. "But Judging from the news paper reports." he added, "ray friends In Seattle should have kept It for them selves. Portland Is a beautiful city, one of the most beautiful I ever visited la my life. I went to Council Crest soon after I came, and through a rift In the clouds I saw what they told me waa Mount Adam. In all my life I never saw such a beautiful sight. Ton people should be proud nature ha bleased you so bountifully. When I go back to England I snail tell my people what a .pretty city you hava here. God haa been unusually good to you.

' Tammany Hall Warliorse Is Not Communicative Since Ho Was Misquoted in Mllnanlcee. Chicago Man Here, Too. PIPING OF OIL FAVORED Waverlj-Rlclunond Clnb Broaches Plan In Tank Debate. Within a period of less than six months Sullivan tc Considine will be presenting their own attractions in Portland in a brand new Empress Theater. Within less than three months work will be started, a the deal for the- site will be closed In Portland within the next few days. So says John W. Considine. who Is In the city with "Big Tim" Sullivan, of Tammany Half fame. "Big Tim" won't be quoted not this trip, anyway. A man said he said something In Milwaukee that Sullivan says he did not say, so the New Yorker refuses To talk for publication. Mr. Considine is doing the talking, but when it comes to telling where the new Kmpress Theater will be situated changes the subject, and talks politics or of the coming Horse Show, where. by the way. hi daughter will show one of her steed. t'aamldlae Silent Rrgmrdlag . Local loa. "If I were to announce any of the sites we are discussing, our chances of grabbing the location would fade away, remarked Mr. Considine. J 11 admit we know approximately the loca tion of the new theater there are aev eral sites In the possibility class but compared with the way I shall talk re garding the precise location well, clam would be loquacious." Timothy D. Sullivan looks to be six feet six In height, but In reality his Inches are one and a half over the tall man mark. He waa nicknamed "Big Tim" to distinguish him In New Tork politics from Timothy L. Sullivan known as "Little Tim." "Little Tim died about a year ago. Big Tim was elected Representative from his district and Is also an ex-State Senator. Mr. Sullivan was In bed yesterday, suffering from an attack of, grip. Two things interest the Tammany Hall war horse politics and phllantrophy. He Is the grown up little Sullivan who went barefooted to school years ago In New lork; and a kind-hearted teacher one February C fitted him out with shoes and stockings. Shoe Are Given Away. Even now he recalls how cold his feet were: how painful the chlllblalns. So at Chrlstmaa time he gives a ban quet to every poor man who wants to eat and during the spread he hands out an order for a pair of boots and one of woolen socks to each one present. The order Is good only on February . Sullivan has been doing this for eight years and it Is a coincidence that for three 'yeara February S has been the coldest and most bitter day of New York's Winter. Two hundred dollars a day is said to be his charitable pin money. Just be fore leaving on his trip, he distributed $3000 to a crowd of out-of-works two days before election. Four thousand men participated in the disbursement. Accompanying Messrs. Sullivan and Considine Is State Senator O'Brien, of Chicago, who la Interested In matters vaudeville from Denver to Winnipeg. He says that Chicago wanta Mayor Carter Harrison for President. The committee on entertainment of the Pacific Coast Ad Congress, which will be held during the Roae Festival next year, reported that plana hava been laid to raise 12000. and that Port land cltlsena will not be called on to subscribe any of this, that the club members themselves will bear the expense. , That large oil depositories should be placej down the river and that oil should be brought through pipes Into the city for use was tha plan advocated by the Waverly-Richmond Improve ment Club Tuesday night. Councilman Joy asked for an opinion of the mem bers of the club on the oil situation that he might vote intelligently on the subject. He said oil will not explode, that danger lies In. the possibility of oil spreading Are. and that if oil tanks were placed in Suuth Portland near the river, tha waterfront on both aides of the river would ba endangered in case of fire. Mr. Joy announced that he tntenda to have an ordinance to do away with the plan of requiring deposlta by tha gas, telephone and electric light com panies In advance of service. The club appointed two delegates to attend the next meeting of the United Improvement Club Association, and it waa voted to send a large delegation to tba next meeting of the Park Board to ask for a park and playgrounds for the Waverly-Richmond district.

Swan, of New Tork. an expert on acoustics, yesterday made a proposal to the County Commissioners to remedy the defects In acoustics In the new Courthouse at $1000 for each courtroom. He was sent to confer with the architects. Whldden & Lewis. "Mr. Swan told us," said Commis sioner Lightner, "that the best archi tects In the world construct buildings In which the acoustic properties are poor and that the acoustics have, as a matter of fact, been bad at the com mencement In nearly every large build ing In the world. He cited among others the Mormon Tabernacle, at Salt Lake City. Utah. He said that wires are useless and promised that he would not demand his pay unless he obtained flrst-clasa results and that without any noticeable change in tha appearance of the courtrooms. If the County Court should accept the offer of Mr. Swan, the cost for the west wing alone would be $1000. Carpeta laid In .the courtrooms on top of the. marble floors have aided, but the acous tic trouble still exists to a great ex tent. Mr. Lightner would not say whether tba money expended In cor recting tha acoustic properties will be deducted from the architects' commis sion should Mr. Swan's proposal ba accepted.
