Tor-Hand seems to lie right In the beaten path of the globe-trotting Gov ernors of sundry Eastern and West ern states. Another Is due here next Sunday, lie is James K. Fielder and when not plobe-trotting governs the people of Now Jersey. Governor Fielder is the 'trenth Gov ernor lhat has visited Tortland within the last two weeks or three, but he is to bo accorded a reception by the rnrtland people just the same as if he were the only Governor, outside our own Oregon Governor.- who ever trod his foot upon Portland soil. A reception committee consisting of the following Portland people has been chosen to do the honors when Governor Fielder comes to town: Alayor Alboe. Pcan Vincent, who is chairman; O. M. Clark. Kdgar B. Piper, C. . Jack son. John F. Carroll, V. J. Ilofmann and J. Fred LarVon. Mr. Wlttyronihc to tircet Party. While he is not a regular member of the committee. Governor Withy combe, too, will be here to receive the visiting Governor. The Oregon Gover nor will pass most of the day in Port land. He will be accompanied by Adjutant-General White and several members of General White's staff. This formality is included because Gover nor Fielder has, among his traveling companions, several members of his personal staff. That's an ornamental asset that the Governor of Oregon doesn't possess a personal staff. iJueh staffs are pop ular through the Kast and as far West as Idaho, and consist, as a rule, of a small party of alert, active, well groomed and more or less handsome militia officers, , who accompany the Governor on his wanderings in or out ot the state. In the case of a small state liko New Jersey It . is generally out, because a Governor can't travel far and stay in. I'emonuel of Party Announecd.

Madrigal Club Entertains at Finished Concert. Multnomah Hotel llnllroom Scene of Delightful Choral and Solo Num ber in I'rohnlily Last Itccital llc fore Fmtival, ROBERT BOICH CARSON, conductor of the Madrigal Club, of this City, is entitled to considerable credit for a successful musical achievement. Last night, he presented his Madrigal Club in its second concert thia season in the ballroom of the Multnomah Hotel, with Mrs. Daisy Ross, contralto, and Albert K. Houghton, baritone, as soloists, and the affair was another gratifying suc cess. Twenty members sang in the Madri gal Club, five voices in each part of so prano, contralto, tenor and bass. The Madrigals a ditllcult form of part song were two, and included exquisite se lections by Leslie and Lahce. Kcth were sung with spirit and line, shaded at tack. One part song. "Summer Is a Coming In." is supposed to have been composed in the lath century, and is not only a rarity but h pleasure to hear in bell effect. "The Mad Fire Rider" (Hugo Wolf) Is- a study in dramatic rendition, and belongs to the weird class. II was Interesting to watch the choral discipline ot the club, in intona tion and tinale. Mrs. Ross was in splendid voice, and her contralto v a heard to advantage in three songs by Ross, Wright and Col-eridge-Tay lor, and in one specially ef fective dramatic solo, "My Heart Is Wea ry" t Goring-Thoinas). Mr. Houghton gave a stirring, rous ing rendition of the "Prologue" from "I J'agliacci" (Leoncavallo), and also pleased in three numbers by Freehey, Sanderson and Liza Lehmann, the -latter selection being "Myself When Voung" from "In a Persian Harden." Mr. Houghton's voice is gaining in appre ciation ot proportion and sonorous finish. Both soloists and chorus re ceived encores. Miss Claire Oakes was a tine accompanist. The Madrigal Club will probably cease its vocnl work for the season when R sings at the a pproaehing Rose FcstivaL i IJccvtion Tendered to Deli-gutcs. A reception was tendered last night to Mrs. Mary Porter and Mrs. K. M. Hill, who were delegates at a missionary contention held at Spokane, at the Grand - Avenue United Presby terian, Church.

CHARGES AGAINST PRINCIPAL HEARD Professor 0. R. Dinwiddie, of Richmond, Declares Plot to Ruin Him Is Afoot. YOUTH IS MAIN WITNESS Former Pupil Who, Teacher Says, lias Gricvunec Tells of Being Called to Take Liquor to r?ooni. Efficiency Is Questioned. Charges that O. R. Dinwiddie suf fered moral lapses that unfit him for his position as principal of the Rich mond School were made by interested persons before the teachers' committee of the School oBard Tuesday. The order of business included a hearing on charges recently laid against Mr. Oin wlddie and C. M. Stafford, principal of Woodlawn School, by Superintendent Alderman. Patrons of both schools were heard by the committee and rec ommendations by the teachers' commit tee will probably be acted on by the School Board at an early meeting.- ' S. K. Smith, of the Richmond district, in a statement to the committee, said Principal Dinwiddie is weak morally and is addicted to the use of liquor. He called on two witnesses to prove his statement Virgil Yates, a former pupil of the school, and Police Officer Mar tin. Their story was denied emphati cally by Principal Dinwiddie, who said the former had a grievance against him because he had been dismissed from the school for misconduct. He charged that a plot had been formed to ruin his reputation. Youth Makes Statement. - Being asked to tell his story, Virgil Yates, a 14-year-old lad. said: "While working for a messenger company on the night of April 10, 1914. I was sent after midnight to take three bottles of beer to room 117, Athens Hotel, that had been ordered by tele phone. 1 knocked at the door and a man's voice answered, telling me to wait a minute. In a short time 1 knocked again and a woman's voice answered. "When the door opened I was sur prised to see my former school prin cipal standing in the door. He paid for the beer. I reported the matter to the police station and Officer Martin was Fent up to the room." Officer Martin testified that he was on duty at the station that night and acted under orderB in going to the Athens. He found Mr. Dinwiddie in the room alone and asked about the woman. The professor said, he related, that a friend had been up there a while to visit him but had left. He saw. boor in the room, he said. Principal Denies Charge. Thereupon Principal Dinwiddie, a slight, studious-looking person, stood up and exclaimed: "That is absolutely not true. I deny the charges. This is a put-up job and 1 am going to defend myself." He then read the- Juvenile Court record of Virgil Yates, showing that he was arrested for the larency of tools, convicted and fined $10 by Judge Gatens. That he later was brought be fore the court for immoral acts at the school and was suspended, was stated by the principal. A. F. Tomlinson, of the Richmond district, who said he was formerly a revenue officer and worked for years hunting bootleggers and moonshiners, said he had detected the smell of liquor on Principal Dinwiddle's breath on one occasion. K was just after he had cir culated a petition for two days ask ing that Mr. Dinwiddie be retained as head of the school, he said, and he forthwith stopped that work. J. J. Johnson opened the attack on, Professor Dinwiddie by Hayinar that he .VJHWWwyMmny tin, i in . n i immia LADIES CAN WEAR SHOES One size smaller after using Allen's -Koot-liase, the antiseptic powder for the feet.

Ganoe, who made an appeal to the School Board at the last meeting, asking that Principal Dinwiddie be re tained, again told of his confidence in him. He referred to a petition bearing 700 names asking that he be retained. Mrs. J. F. Chapman, president of the Parent-Teacher Association of the Richmond district, said it had been felt there for some time that a change was needed. Lack of interest in various school activities, she said, was shown by the principal. W. D. Freeman said he was in close touch with the Richmond School and believed Mr. Dinwiddie was doing his full duty. Chairman Smith, of the teachers' committee, asked if any persons pres ent had anything to say in regard to the case of C. M. Stafford, principal of the Woodlawn School, against whom charges of lack of leadership and in terest have been made. Only two re sponded. Mrs. W. W. Williams, presi dent of the Parent-Teacher Associa tion in that section, and J. D. Nieland. a patron of the school. Both said Mr. Stafford lacks essential qualities for the position, although not a word was spoken against his character. CAPTAIN HAM PROMOTED Twenty-First Infantry to Go Abroad January 1, Is Report. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.. May 26. (Special.) Captain Samuel V. Ham, post quartermaster, has been promoted to the rank of Major of in fantry, it was reported here - Tuesday. He has not yet been assigned, but will probably remain here until his assign ment to some regiment of infantry. The Twenty-first Infantry, now sta tioned here, is due to go abroad before January 1, it is said. There is a belief it will be ordered to Panama, or to the Philippine Islands, for a two-years' tour. . . . Colonel George S. Young, In command of the Twenty-first Infantry, is at Lederman General Hospital in San Francisco, for treatment. During his absence Lieutenant-Colonel David J. Baker, Jr., is in command of the post. H0QUIAM VOTES BONDS $157,000 Issue to Take Up War rants Authorized by People. HOQUIAM. Wash., May 26. (Special.) By an overwhelming majority, but by a light ballot, Hoquiam yesterday voted validation of its current expense war rant debt and authorized a bond issue of $157,000 to take up warrants. City officers say by this bond issue Ho quiam will be on a cash basis tliis year. The registration was only about one quarter and the vote of 380 only about a third the registration. Only one pre cinct of the 13 voted against the two proposal. BONDED PAVING WINS Commissioners Decide for 10 Year Upkeep Guarantees. 5-YEAR SPANS PROVIDED Separate Surety Contracts to Be En tered Into With County In Mak-' lug Awards for Recently Au thorized Road Work. After days of discussion as to whether ten-year maintenance of all county- roads paved under. the bond issue shall be required, the County Commissioners definitely decided in the affirmative Tuesday. Surety bonds guaranteeing the pave ments against defects for five years will be part of the original construc tion contracts. The additional five year maintenance will be provided by separate maintenance contracts entered into between the county and the con tractors themselves. This procedure is necessary because surety companies will not give maintenance bonds for more than five years. Arthur A. Murphy, Deputy District Attorney, and E. i. Coovert had agreed on all points in. connection with the separate nve-year contracts yesterday except one, and they expect "to have this question settled today. Mr. Cqovert has held, that voluntary contracts en tered into between the county and con. tractors for a nominal sum have the force of common law contracts, and will be sustained by the courts, while District Attorney Evans and Mr. Murphy, who is handling the matter in Mr. Evans' absence, have expressed doubt as to this point, because the law requires posting of a bond equal to the amount of the contract. It has been agreed, however, that the advertisements for separate contracts for the additional five-year maintenance will be .run concurrently, but sepa rately from the construction contract. A point raised by Mr. Murphy that there ! must be competition in such contracts has been met by providing that any per son can b,id on this additional mainte nance on any road or section of road. However, it is not believed that any contractor would agree .to guarantee the maintenance of any road other than that laid by himself. . At today's meeting of the Commis sioners printed specifications of the road work will be submitted for the final approval of the Commissioners, and the forms of both the construction and the separate maintenance contracts will be ready for approval also, by every indication. The first advertisement probably will be run tomorrow, and by about the ttmo of the Rose Festival everything will be ready for awarding the bids. The Commissioners already have an nounced that there will he every oppor tunity for open bidding, and that it will not be necessary for contractors to own any specified material to submit bids on It., LIQUORS Mall Ordcra ellrHrd. argrat Mork In OrrKaa. l.
