Joseph Says Oregon Should Devote $500,000 to Exposition. TOO MUCH," SAY OTHERS Senator Malarkey Believes That '$350,000 to $300,000 Is Sum , dent Senator Mollis Op poses This Amount. "I favor a liberal appropriation for the Oregon exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco In 1915." said Senator George W. Joseph yesterday. "I am a devout believer In the gospel according to C. C. Chapman, that a man, a community or a state must toot its own horn, or verily the same shall not be tooted, and Oregon should make a showing at the big fair commensurate with her importance in the sisterhood of Pacific Coast States. 'While the amount may seem trifle larce at first blush. I believe that Oregon could not do better than to appropriate $500,000. She has the best location on the fair grounds, and she should have the best exhibit. That is. not necessarily the roost expensive building, but the most representative showing of her manifold resources. No other state has so much to snow, so many important Interests that deserve adequate representation. Reaoarrea Are Varied. "There's the fishing interests, for In stance. The whole world demands Co lumbia River salmon because it knows that It Is the best that is canned. The whole world .will be at San Francisco, and will be Interested In knowing how the rich. red. finely flavored Chinook finds Its way from the sea to Its tables. "The lumbering Industry, and the state's latent resources in timber: the mining Industry, showing the richness and diversity of our mineral wealth: the livestock Industry, Including dairy and fat stock, sheep and hogs, not for getting the fact that Oregon is an Ideal state for poultry; with the fruit industry In Its various phases of plant ing, pioklng and packing, and the hop Industry these are a few of the things that I would like to see 'played up' at San Francisco. Not only should their present development be emphasized, but the visitor should be made to understand that there Is still plenty of room for development in all these branches. "We bave the poods and we should show- them." declared Mr. Joseph. "While a half a million may seem like a lot of money to spend for advertising, and while it is possible that Oregon can make a creditable showing on leas than that. I am sure that it would be bread upon the waters that would come back many fold, and I shall introduce an appropriation bill early in the ses sion calling for that amount. I notice that a similar bill, for a like amount, will be introduced in the Washington Legislature. , Fair la For Whole Coast. "This is not California's fair, nor San Francisco's fair. It belongs to the whole world, bat peculiarly it will be for the benefit of the three Pacific Coast states. The eyes of the world will be on ua. We will be in the spot light, and we must look our best." The fact that California appropriated but 90.000 for the Lewis and Clark Exposition Is having its influence against so large an appropriation as is proposed by Senator Joseph. Senator Malarkey. candidate for president of the Senate, believes that an amount from $250,000 to $300,000 should be suf ficient. Senator Hollls. of Washington, Tillamook. Yamhill and Lincoln, be lieves that $250,000. the amount fa vored by Senator Smith, of Josephine, is too much. San Diego, maintaining that she will be the Pacific port of most importance with the completion of the Panama Canal, is having a fair In 1915, and wants an appropriation. But little sentiment has been heard In favor of the San Diego appropriation, as the general opinion is that Oregon should put -all her eggs . In one basket and make as good a showing as possible at the big show at San Francisco. eraT election Ts void because "of the absence of an enacting clause. At torney-General Crawford further held today that if the act was in lorce tha it would apply to those employed on dredges and tugs employed by the Port of Portland Inasmuch as the Port o Portland Is a municipal corporation. is considered probable that the comin Legislature will re-enact the bill by adding the proper enacting clause. In his opinion the Attorney-General called attention to an opinion or tn Supreme Court in the case of Kadderley vs. Portland In which It was held tnai an act passed by the initiative Is sub ject to the restrictions of the constltu tlon, the same as an act passed by the Legislative enactment The court originally held, he states. In the case of the State vs. W-rlght, 14 Oregon, that a measure without an enacting clause Is absolutely void and with the doctrine announced that the same ruie that applies to legislative enactments should aDDlv to initiative measures that tha eisrht-hour law Is void.

Hall, a professional negro bail broker, bet . ter known as "Rags," was arrested yes terday on a charge of assault and bat tery preferred by "The Chicken," an other well-known character of little Africa. "Rags" promptly retaliated with a charge of vagrancy against "The Chicken." The trouble began when the woman In the case "touched" a white man and was taken to the station. ' "Rags" fol lowed promptly to give ball, and Cap tain Keller put up to him the obliga tion of getting back the $115 which the complainant had lost. After a brief conference with his client. "Rags" es corted her out of the station' and she led him direct to "The Chicken." who. she said, had the money. "The Chick en," properly approached, surrendered it. Afterward he resented the Intru sion, and made the fatal "hip pocket move." whereupon "Rags" trounced him, was arrested, and In turn caused the arrest of his accuser, on the va grancy charge.

Responsive to a request from Clerk Thomas, of-the Board of Education, for an interpretation of the initiative bill enacted by the people In the recent election regarding county high schools, Attorney-General Crawford has ren dered an opinion holding In substance that when the capacity of established high schools In the cities is exhausted, entrance of students from otuside ter rltory to municipal high schools can be gained only by the payment of tuition raised through a direct county tax tn tended specifically to cover that cost. In his opinion the Attorney-General entertains a doubt if a city high school when crowded to its capacity, can be forced to receive and make provision for students from those sections of the county outside the corporate limits of the municipality until It has been given assurance of proper compensation. J. H. Nolta and other representatives from East Side commercial organiza tlons appeared before the Board and urged the location of the proposed trades school on the East Side, where, it was contended, desirable building sites could be obtained at more attrac. tlve figures than on the West Side. Fand la Depleted. R. L. Sabln. actfng chairman, ex plained to the committee that the Board was without available lunds witn which to make the purchase of a site for a new trades school until the voters of the district, at the annual meeting, December 27. should authorize a pro posed bond issue of $1,000,000 to take care of the new high school and other needed Improvements. Other members of the Board explained that an addi tional half block had already been ac quired immediately west of the Lincoln high school as a probable site for the new trades school. Director Flelschner assured the East Side delegation that If provision should be made for the trades school on this side of the river, another trades school eventually would be provided for the East Side. George A. Brodle and other memoers of a committee .addressed the Board with an invitation for its members to attend a meeting at the Creston School next Monday night, when speakers would be in attendance to present the desirability of installing in that school an agricultural department. The Invi tation -was accepted. Lnnrelhurat Petition Heard. Dr. J. D. Fenton, Dr. E. A. Pierce and others, constituting a committee from the Laurelhurst district, submitted to the Board a prospective site for a new school building to meet the require- ents of the pupils residing in iaurei- hurst. ' It was referred to an appropri ate committee. The Board acceded to the request of Otto J. Kraemer, representing the Ore gon Humane Society, that students of the high schools be per mitted to take part in a competitive essay contest for which three prizes of $12.50, $7.50 and $5 have, been offered. A list of 2subjects will be submitted by the society, from which contestants may make their selection as to a sub ject for their essay. Before adjourning,' Director Munly suggested the advisability of the Board employing a consulting architect. It was the contention of Mr. Munly that the Boafa was paying too much for the construction and modification of its school buildings. After some discus sion it was tentatively agreed that Clerk Thomas should ascertain from prominent architects in Denver and St. Louis the cost of comlng..to Portland and giving the Board an approximate idea of the cost of the buildings al ready constructed and contemplated in this city. LIGHT SENTENCE IMPOSED Mail Clerk "Who Confesses to Kob ' bing Letter Gets Six Slonths. A light sentence was pronounced on Charles E.
