Closing of Transaction Is De

MAY 31 HOLIDAY ORDERED
Civil and Spanish-American War
Veterans Demand Memorial Day
Be Observed and Win. Their
Case Before Board.
Tilts that became heated between
members of the School Board over the
purchase of a site for the proposed
I'ortlund Trades School, and sharp ob
jections by a delegation of veterans
of the Civil and Spanish-American
wars to the failure of the school au
thorities to arrangre for Memorial day
to be observed as a holiday, marked
the regular session of the Directors
yesterday afternoon. Chairman Munly
-as pressed at the meetinp, if beinR
the first one in weeks that he was
able to attend.
Because of the objection of Director
Sommer to the purchase of the Trades
School site beinjc "railroaded." as he
viewed It, action was delayed until next
Saturday afternoon. At that time also
teachers for the coming year will be
elected. The election was postponed
from yesterday.
Protest Are Voiced.
A. J. Salisbury, James Brockwey and
Roy W. Kesl formed a delegation from
the Grand Army and the Spanish
American War Veterans that called on
the School Board, and all three voiced
vicorous protests against school being
held Monday, May 31. They said it
seemed remarkable that while school
holidays were given for the opening
of the baseball season it had been de
cided not to declare the usual holiday
for Decoration day.
The matter was argued briefly and.
on motion of Dr. Alan Welch Smith,
it was ordered that a school holiday
prevail May 31.
There was a sharp colloquy between
Directors Sommer and Plummer over
the question of closing the deal on the
ground needed for the new trade
school.
Mr. Smith Make Motion.
Director Smith moved that the dis
trict pay $100,000 in cash and give title
to the Buckman School property for
blocks 145, 146, 147, 148. 1BD, 166 and
a fraction of block 143, all in llolladay
Addition, it being agreed that certain
streets be vacated to conform with
the wishes of the Board. The total
property to be purchased comprises 4S
lots and it is said the market value Is
$3000 a lot. A. P. Swensson, represent
ing the Anglo-Pacific l.ealty Company,
which owns the property, was present
and the transaction was taken up as a
recommendation of the grounds com
mittee of the Board.
"It Is a question of trying to rush
this thing through," said Dr. Sommer,
speaking with much earnestness.
"We can bring this thing .up any
time; this property can be condemned.
This should be referred to the grounds
committee."
Action by Committee Doubted.
I do not think the grounds com
mittee will accomplish anything," said
Director Plummer.
"You have no right to say that the
committee cannot accomplish any
thing." retorted Mr. Sommer. "You
have no right to think it. That is
what the committee is for."
"1 have a. right to think anything I
want, said Mr. Plummer.
"This Trade School property has been
waiting for a year and we want to
close it up," said Dr. .Smith.
"I favor closing ltup. as it has been
under consideration for two years,"
said Chairman Munly. "However, I am
willing to postpone action for a day
or two to Rive time to look at the
ground again. I think we will act on
it Saturday." This was agreed to.
Franklin High Plana Adopted.
Plans for the construction of Frank
lin High School at Kast .Fll'ty-second
and. Division streets, at a cost of $100,
000, were submitted to the board and
adopted. Bids were authorized, and it
is expected to start work soon and have
the structure completed by the end of
the year.
Chairman Munly brought up the sub
ject of using the old Shattuck School,
on the completion of the new at the
opening of the term next Fall, as a
commercial high school. A special re
port was asked for on the subject and
County Superintendent Armstrong was
asked to give his advice to the archi
tect. The subject of the dismissal of Prin
cipals C. M. Stafford and O. R. Dinwid
dle, of Woodlawn and Richmond
schools, was brought up and referred
to the teachers' committee for a hear
ing. It was asked that additions and im
provements be made to the Arleta
School.
SHIP HOLDING EXPLAINED
(Continued From First Page.)
nection of the connsignee of her car
go have tended to confirm other evi
dence which has come to the knowl
edge of His Majesty's government that
the foodstuffs were. In reality, des
tined for Germany. It was accordingly
decided that the cargo must be placed
in the prize court and the vessel is at
present discharging at Portishead
tEngland), on the completion of which
operation she will be released.
"His Majesty's government feel sat
isfied that in the circumstances of this
case undue interference with Amer
ican interests cannot be with reason
imputed to them.
"Third The number of neutral ves
sels carrying American cargoes and at
present held up is 36. Of these 2L'
carry cargoes of American cotton. The
United States Government are aware
that since the enforcement of the
blockade measures announced In the
supplement to the London Gazette
March 12 last. Mis Majesty's govern
ment have acted as regards shipments
of American cottn 4n accordance with
the provisions of an arrangement ar
rived at In collaboration with repre
sentatives or the American cotton in
terests. Cotton Arrangements Reviewed.
'The' terms of the arrangement are
as follows:
"(A) All cotton for which contracts
'f sale and freight engagements al
ready have been made before March 2
is to be allowed free transit or bought
at the contract price if stopped, pro
vided the ship sailed not later than
March 81.
"(B) Similar treatment is to be ac
corded all cotton inwured before March
2, provided it is put aboard not later
than March IS.
"tO All shipments of cotton claim
ing the above protection are to be de
clared before sailing-, and documents
produced and certificates obtained from
consular officers or other authorities
fixed by the government.
"Fourth In accepting this schrme,
which it may be noted applies to ship-
merits of cotton for a neutral destina
tion only, the principal representative
of the American cotton Interests de
scribes It to His Majesty's Ambassador
at Washington as conceding all that
the American interests could properly
ask. It was never suggested that ves
sels or cargoes with an enemy destina
tion should be allowed to proceed. His
Majesty's government was. moreover,
given to understand that the provisions
of the arrangement were acceptable to
the united states Government
Direct Discnsnlona Opened.
"Fifth It is intended shortly to' fur
nish a statement showing precisely
what cargoes, or portions of cargoes.
His Majesty's government have dealt
witn under the above arrangement, and
as regards those which they have de
cided to purchase at the contract price
under the terms of paragraph A or
the arrangement. Direct discussions
have already been opened with the spe
cial representatives of the American
parties interested in London.
"Sixth A considerable portion of
cotton already has been sold and ar
rangements are being made for hand
ing over the proceeds to the parties en
titled to receive the total value, as a
first installment of the completed tran
saction. It is obvious that all these
arrangements require some time for
adjustment. Meanwhile it is not be
lieved that the original owners can, as
appears to be apprehended, be suffer
ing acutely by the delay or lull pay
ment. It is to be presumed that, in
accordance with the customs of trade.
the owners drew bills to the value of
their goods before or at the time ot
shipment, and if such bills have been
negotiated in the usual way it is diffi
cult to understand why the drawers
should be put to inconvenience on this
account, at least before the date when
the bills fall due.
Arbitrary Interference Denied.
"Seventh On an impartial review
of the facts it will. His Majesty's gov
ernment feels sure, be admitted that
no arbitrary interference with Ameri
can interests has, in regard to these
cargoes, occurred, seeing that His
Majesty s government have actea
throughout in conformity with the
terms of an arrangement agreeaDie to
the interests concerned, and that
United States citizens will suffer no
pecuniary loss.
"Eighth As regards other American
cargoes, or portions of cargoes, which
have been placed in the prize court, ns
Majesty's government resort to this
measure in cases where either tne
goods concerned are contraband or
there Is evidence that, although osten
sibly consigned to a person in neutral
countries, they are in reality destined
to the enemy in contravention of the
rules of blockade. The right to submit
such cases to the public investigation
of a judicial tribunal is one which His
Majesty's government cannot forego,
and they feel convinced that the en
lightened opinion in the United States
cannot adversely criticise their course
of action in this respect.
"Ninth It is true that a number of
these cases have been pending in the
prize court for some time. This is
notably the case in regard to certain
vessels carrying large shipments of
meat and lard ostensibly consigned to
Scandinavian ports.
Limit on Meala Desired.
"The United States Government are,
however, no doubt aware that much of
the delay involved in these instances is
due to the fact that the negotiations
have been carried on for many weeks
with a representative of the principal
American meat packers for an ar
rangement designed to limit importa
tion into neutral countries adjacent to
Germany to quantities actually re
quired in those countries for bona fide
home consumption. The American meat
packers have demanded as a part of
the settlement to be agreed upon that
His Majesty's government should buy
the cargoes of several ships now held
up In the prize court. Hence, the
delay in bringing these cases to ad
judication. "The negotiations for an amicable
settlement have unfortunately come
to a standstill owing to the exorbitant
terms insisted upon, by the representa
tive of the American packers. This
stage having now been reached His
Majesty's government have decided to
go on with the prize court proceedings
in these cases, and It is not expected
that a decision will be much longer
delayed."
FLORENCE FETE IS Of!
OPENING OF BIG TIMBER. BELT IS
CELEBRATED TODAY.
Rhododendron Festival This Year Marks
Formal Rail Transportation Entry.
Thousands Are Awaited.
EUGENE, Or., May 20. (Special.)
Florence's celebration to mark tie for
mal opening of rail transportation over
the new Willamette Pacific to the Sius
law will begin tomorrow. The rho
dodendron festival for eight years has
been a pageant, unique in its dramati
zation of Indian tradition, mountaineer
settlers and fishermen.
This year all is changed. Where
scores or hundreds formerly came on
foot or by boat, 2000 are expected Sat
urday by rail. Motorcycle races, speed
contests and naval battles will supplant
the reproduction of quaint traditions
of a community.
The coming of the steel rails marks
the transition of the Siuslaw. Millions
of feet of the finest timber in Oregon
have awaited for the transportation to
move them to the mill. Thousands of
acres of marsh grass have waited for
the modern farmer. The fruit industry
sees the reproduction of conditions
similar to the Puyallup Valley in
Washington.
The construction department has
opened the use of the new railroad
from Mapleton as an accommodation
to the people. Its use has taxed the
capacity of the road until it interferes
with construction trains. Farmers are
shipping in feed and shipping out
thousands of gallons of cream.
Although tomorrow is the opening
day, the festival proper will not begin
until the arrival of the excursion
trains. Tomorrow the iuslaw school
children gather for their annual in
dustrial fair and hold for the first
time an athletic meet on the SluslaW.
A baseball game between Gardiner
and Florence is scheduled for Friday
and a mardi-grass carnival ball for
Friday night. On Saturday the first of
two days' excursions arrives. Nearly
every boat on the river is to be sent to
Mapleton Saturday morning to meet the
excursion train from Eugene.
Not only is Eugene planning to at
tend the festival in a body with its
band and its Radiators in lull uniform
but many are expected from points
down the valley, including 1'ortland.

PALE BEAUTY FADES
The girl who comes home from
school or shop tired out every day
may be beautiful, but she will soon
fade. She will be fortunate if she es
capes a physical breakdown because
the ease with which she tires Is prob
ably the first warning symptom of i
thinning of the blood that cannot be
disregarded.
Thin blood may give an attractive
pallor for a short' time, but soon the
patient becomes thin, flat-chested
haggard and angular. The only beauty
that endures is that of rich, red blood
shining through a transparent skin.
Almost any girl can build up her
blood by using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
They are useful to growing girls, to
pale girls, thin girls and those who
get tired or out of breath easily. Moth
ers of Buch girls should see to it that
the tendency to anemia is checked by
the use of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills
before the trouble becomes chronic.
Er. Williams' Pink Pills will build up
the blood if anything will. They are
free from opiates or harmful drugs and
can be taken with perfect safety by
anyone. Your own druggist sells them

ROSES AND BABIES TO VIE
Many Prizes to Be Awarded at Xew-
berg Floral Show.
NEWBERG. Or., May 20. (Special.)
Extensive arrangements have been
made for the fifth annual rose show
here Saturday by the Woman's Civic
Improvement Club. The main feature
of the parade will be, as heretofore, a
display of babies in their carriages.
Prizes are usually awarded for the
handsomest decorated carriages and at-
active results are always reached in
this line. Ncwberg boasts several twin
babies and these will attract much at
tention.
Probably few cities of the size of this
have such an abundance of roses. They
are found everywhere growing in great
profusion. The display in this line is
to be in the Council Chamber and a
variety of prizes will be awarded.
In the afternoon there will be a ball
game and other sports, and in the even
ing and also at a matinee' at both ot
the local theaters there will be enter
tainments. Prominent women and men
of the city taking part are to appear in
black face.
A feature of the parade will be
King and Queen rosebuds to whom the
keys of the city are to be presented by
Mayor Edwards. In the evening there
Is to be a grand floral drill on the co

POLITICAL OPIXIO.VS.
Return of Verdict at 10 o'clock Today
la Ordered by Judge, In Event
Agreement Is Reached.
STRACUSE, N. Y., May 20. The le
gal issue between William Barnes and
Theodore Roosevelt went to the Jury
this afternoon after Justico Andrews,
presiding in the Supreme Court here at
the trial of the suit for libel the for
mer chairman of the Republican State
Committee brought against the former
President of the United States, had de
livered his charge. The case was given
to the Jury at 3:11 o'clock.
When, at 5 o'clock, no word had come
from the Jury-room, Justice Andrews
sent for the 12 men. Then Juror No. 3
addressed the court, in part, as follows:
"I don't know but what It would be
a good idea if you would repeat that
part of your charge in which you said
that no political opinion of our own
should in any way affect us reaching
a verdict: that we should overcome
all personal prejudices; that In reach
ing a decision we should consider noth
ing but the evidence and that alone."
Justice Andrews replied that he
thought the Jury surely must under
stand that it would not be performing
its duty if it did otherwise.
He then announced that he would
adjourn court until 10 o'clock tomor
row when a verdict, if found during
the interval, would be received. The
jury then retired until 7 o'clock, when
12
men left the building for dinner.
