In Portland gathered at the Hellig
yesterday morning when the hour
arrived for opening the box oftice
and exchanging tickets for reserved
seats at the First Annual Follies to be
given under the direction of the Port
land managers at the Hellig Thursday
night. Interest In the big frivolity has
been unprecedented in the history of
Portland theaters.
The managers still stick to their
declaration that they will not make
public all the features that will go to
make op the Follies until the theater
Is open for the performance. It Is pub
lic property that the managers them
selves will be seen In a burlesque of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin. and that the rest
of the programme will be made up of
clever "stunts" by both professional
and local talent. Interspersed will be
a number of "stunts" that will be relied
upon to aupply both humor and beauty.
The first dress rehearsal of "Uncle
Tom" will be given at the Hellig this
morning, and It Is hoped that Stage
Manager Baker will be able to adjust
all the differences which are reported
to have cropped out among his troupe.

DAIRY PERIL SEEN
Reported Use of Oleomarga
rine at Asylum Condemned.
FOOD INSPECTOR FEARFUL
E. T. Jndd Declares If State Put
Its Brand of Approval on Bntter
SnhMJtnle Oregon's Big In
dustry Will Snffer.
That the reported action f the State
Insane Asylum officials in authorizing
the use of oleomargarine Instead of
butter at that Institution Is a grave
menace to one of Oregon's growing In
dustries was the declaration yesterday
of E. T. Judd, chief deputy In the office
of the State Dairy and Food Com
missioner. Whllo appreciating the humor or the
experience of the asylum authorities in
falling to distinguish between butterlne
and the pure article when the ice chest
was Inspected recently and the trans
fer of butter and butterlne was made,
the food and dairy officials, say there
Is danger of crippling the dairy in
dustry. The fact of the substitution not be
ing discovered until after the use of
oleomargarine was established, only ag
gravates the danger, they say.
Iadnstry Sera Imperiled.
"We hate to think this change will be
made." said SEr. Judd yesterday, "for If
there is any tndustry in Oregon upon
the development of which the hopes of
the state are set. It Is the dairy Indus
try. "It la almost Inconceivable that a
state institution that is supported by
taxpayers, hundreds of whom are dairy
men, could make such a discrimination.
Instead of using good Oregon butter
using a substitute made by the beef
trust. N
"Oregon was one of the flrst states
In the Union to enact laws against the
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine
In competition with butter. Through
the rigid enforcement of tKose laws we
have been able to keep oleomargarine
off the market, so that the honest
dairyman does not have an unfair com
petitor. But when one of the Institu
tions in this state favors the use of the
butter substitute It Is certainly discour
aging to men who are trying to build
up the dairy Industry.
Growth ef Vse Feared.
"There can be no doubt that people
of the most discriminating tastes do
not and will not use oleomargarine. It
would seem Just a little pathetic that a
peri.n who at home would use only the
best butter should be oMiged to use
butterlne. If he were unfortunate
enough to have to reside at the asylum.
If this combination of beef tallow and
cottonseed oil Is to be used hereafter
at the Asylum, why may it not be used
at the Penitentiary, the Reform School,
or all or tne state institutions;
"How will it be for the state that Is
offering Inducements to the immigrant
lr the field of dairying when the new
settlers arrive and discover that oleo-n-argarlne
Is used in its Institutions?
What an advertisement for the beef
trust to be able to say that the State
of Cregon Is using Its product! The
packers can welt afford to pay this
state thousands of dollars for the ben
efit such advertising would give them.
But how about the adverse publicity
our dairy Industry would receive? Un
doubtedly the action of the Asylum au
thorities will be resented by the vari
ous associations of dairymen and the
granges when the fact becomes known."

Fletcher Homan. president . of Wil
lamette University at Salem, haa re
turned from his trip to Meadvllle, Pa.,
where he attended the annual meet
ing of the Methodist Episcopal Educa
tional Association. ' Between SO and 75
presidents of Methodist colleges, acad
emies and theological schools were In
attendance. The relation of denom
inational education to Institutions of
the state was discussed, and the sen
timent was expressed that there ought
to be no antagonism, but co-operation.
From Meadvllle, President Homan
went to New York City, where he
called on Dr. Wallace Buttrlck, secre
tary of the General Educational Board,
founded by Rockefeller, a to2.000.00U
corporation. Mr. Homan was received
cordially, and learned that Dr. Butt
rick is much Interested in educational
Institutions of the West.
He also called on Henry Clews, the
New York banker, who contributes
11000 annually to Willamette Univer
sity. At Syracuse, N. Y, Mr. Homan
attended the university senate of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, January
I. The senate fixes the standard of
education in the Methodist church.
These standards conform to those of
Carnegie Institute, and to those of
leading educational Institutions the
country over. Mr. Homan found that
the campaign for the endowment of
Willamette University haa taken Its
name into Methodist circles the wqrld
over. At Syracuse he spoke In the
chapel of the Syracuse University, be
ing Introduced by Chancellor Day, who
has a reputation for his support of
John D. Rockefeller.
At. St. Paul the university president
Interviewed James J. Hill, the railway
magnate, and found that Mr. Hill has
14 colleges on his list as beneficiaries,
and believes in denominational educa
tion. Mr. Homan says Mn Hill asked
particularly about the well-to-do mem
bers of the Methodist church in Port
land and Oregon, and was Interested
to know what they bad done for the
university. Mr. Hill helped to start
the endowment fund now being raised.
Cold weather, ranging from zero to
SO degrees below, was found by Mr.
Homan In the various parts of the
East he visited.
"I told the people In Syracuse I
wanted to get back to the land of
flowers, showers and sunshine." said
Mr. Homan. "It was a real Joy to step

Judge Taxwell lost not a moment when
the testimony was concluded In decid
ing that there was "no direct or reas
onable proof of the charge," and the de
fendant was discharged.
"They called us- scabs." said one of
the witnesses, "but we paid no atten
tion to that, because there are always
600 or 800 men doing that, but they
used other language that a man should
not take."
Ed Taylor, an elderly foreman In the
Alblna shops, reported to Patrolman
Wilson, Monday ivight, that Alex
Robertson, a picket, had applied a vile
name to him. Wilson went with Taylor
who point) out Robertson, and he was
arrested. There were about 10 pickets
In the crowd.
Taylor was accompanied by his young
son, who was a schoolmate of Robert
son, and testified that he saw and
heard him use the objectionable term.
The elder Taylor also identified
Robertson. Against this testimony was
that of three pickets, all of whom ad
mitted using the word "scab," but said
they heard no ono address Taylor in
otheP terms.
"We Just said, "here comes a scab
a scaly scab," they said.
The court had ruled, some time be

GUT -6 ASKED TO WAIT
WOOD PRESERVING COMPANY
WOULD 1IALT ASSESSMENT.
M. G. Thorsen Promises Good Pav
ing on East Morrison Street After
Crossings Are Laid.
A letter has been filed with the
Mayor and City Council by M. G. Thor
sen. on behalf of the Carbollneum Wood
Preserving Company, relative to tne
wood block pavement recently laid on
East Morrison street. It sets forth that
the contractors never have asked for
the assessments to be made on the
work and that they do not want this
action and ask that the city wait until
the work is completed.
The letter Is:
W note that steps have been taken to
ward toe acceptance of the work pertormea
by this company on East Morrison street
from Kast Water street to Union avenue.
We wish to say that said work has as
yet not pen completed by reason of the
fact that the quadruple railway crossing on
Kast Klrst street has not been put in at
the prisent time and the one on East Sec
ond street was put In but a short time aso.
For these reasons we could not complete
this work in accordance with the terms or
our contract. allnouKh we were assured that
no delay would occur at the time we besan
the construction of this pavement.
Owing- to the non-arrival of these cross
ings a' the proper time our work had to
remain In an unfinished condition, permit
ting water to congregate In the crossing ex
cavations and causing serious damage to
portions of pavement already comploted
Further damage was caused by reason of
the fact that the street railway tracks
broke through the concrete put under the
ties by that company near Union avenue,
permitting the water to get under the pave
ment. .
In vlw of these facts we do not under
stand why these proceedings were Inaugu
rated, as no steps whatsoever had been
taken by this company looking toward the
acceptance of this work by the city, hence
we object to "ny such action being taken
until this work has been completed In a
substantial, satisfactory and proper manner.
As son as the crossings have been put
In place and the concrete foundation put
under the tracks of the street railway In
a proper manner we shall proceed at once
to comrlete the work. We wish to assure
you that It will be aa good a piece of pave
ment a csn be found in Portland, and In
substantiation of this fact will refer you
to the pavement laid by us on Pine street,
between Third and Fourth streets, at the
same time.
We were not responsible for this delay
and consequent damage which has caused
us a grea deal of additional expense, but
at the same time we wish to assure the
prooerty owners that they shall not suffer
in any way by reason thereof and that this
pavement wUI be completed in a substantial
and proper manner, satisfactory to them
and strictly In accordance with the terms
of the speclflrfttfons and contract, before
we ask that the work be accepted.

prosecution to use its only remaining
peremptory, which It did by excusing
Lacey, the venireman whose examina
tion bad Just been concluded. By this
programme the defense gained the ad
vantage of preserving Its two remain
ing peremptorles for application, If de
sired. In getting rid of the next two
veniremen who should be examined.
If they proved unsatisfactory. By Its
action the defense waived the right fit
challenging the 11 men who already
had been passed and were seated in
the Jury box, but strongly fortified
Itself in the selection of the final Juror.
It so happened, however, that Mr. Ran
dolph, who was called to take the place
of Lacey, proved entirely satisfactory
and It did not become necessary for
the defense to exercise either of the
two available peremptorles In the pos
sible contingency against which it had
provided.
Faith la Morris Small.
Mr. Randolph said he had discussed
affairs of the Oregon Trust & savings
Bank with his uncle, A. C. Palmer, who
did not think Walter H. Moore, the
president, was to blame for the sus
pension of the bank. Randolph said
he was convinced somebody was
blameable for Its plight, but he had not
formed any opinion as to who was re-'
sponsible. From reading the newspa
pers, Randolph said he had concluded
that Morris was guilty of criminal
acts in connection with the manage
ment of the bank. He admitted an Im
pression aa to the guilt or Innocence
of Morris In the pending trial which
would require evidence to remove. This
impression was formed at the time
Morris was first convicted for defraud
ing the bank. The Juror said he would
receive the testimony of Morris in the
trial of Wilde with suspicion and be
fore he would place any credence In
It, his statements would have to be
corroborated by other witnesses.
Answering a further question from
Mr. Malarkey as to whether he bad
discussed the Wilde case or had been
approached by anybody with reference
to It, Randolph said that one day In
the recent sleet storm he was ap
proached as he left the Couch building
by a stranger who asked if Randolph
was a Juror In a criminal trial being
heard In the court. Randolph said he
answered negatively, whereupon the
questioner asked if Randolph knew
anything about the Wilde case.
Strange Qneatloner Described.
"I told my Inquirer that I did not
know anything at all about the case."
continued Randolph, "and assured him
that if I did I would keep It to my
self. The stranger then remarked: 'I
will see you again and passed aown
the street. I have seen him only once
since and then he was In the Court
house corridor. I would recognize htm
on sight. He was a young man be
tween 25 and 28 years of age, about
ftve feet six inches tall, weighed 155
pounds, smooth face, wore a blue suit
and a telescope hat."
Thirty-one veniremen were examined
before It qualified as Jurors for the
trial of the Case. Of the 31, 12 were
excused by the court on challenge for
muse by either the state or the de
fense. Four were excused through
peremptory challenges by the defense
and three others were disposed of in
the same manner by the prosecution.
Throughout the examination or, pros-
Lpetivej jurors thftrj was m.ore qK less

talk on both sides about detectives In
the employ of the other side. Partic
ular pains were taken both by the state
and the defense to elicit from each
venireman the fact of whether he had
been anDroached by any person In an
effort to discuss the "Wilde case. Three
of the veniremen so examined testi
fied that they had been intercepted
by a "mysterious" stranger and ques
tioned concerning their attitude to
ward 'Wilde.
"Approached" Men Kept.
It is rather singular that these three
men were finally accepted as Jurors
for the trial of the case. They are
Messrs. Sattler, La Joie and Randolph.
This fact Is accepted as conclusive
proof that neither side took much stock
In the implied charges of the other
side that detectives were employed
for the purpose of determining in ad
vance the individual feelings of the
veniremen respecting the case. This
feature of the examination of the Jur
ors plainly was for stage effect and
had no further significance. At any
rate, the "mysterious" stranger In each
of the three Instances, according to the
descriptions furnished by the venire
men, was a different man. What Is
more, these same "mysterious" indi
viduals are still parading the streets
or are presumably, since none has been
apprehended.
In one sense, the Jury selected to try
"Wilde Is an amateur body of delibera
tors. Nine of the 12 members before
this term of court have not served as
