OREGON EXPOSITION BULL.DING,
Ban Francisco, Sept. 12. Since the burn
ing: of the mortgage every one at the
big exposition has had a care-free, go-as-you-please,
happy-?o-Iucky holiday
apirit that adds to the festivity of these
approaching-the-close weeks.
Of course, the mortgage meant noth
ing so personal to the mass of people
'who come here to seek relaxation, but
such a solidarity is California that
when a big debt and a big problem
hung over the exposition fathers, the
exposition children could not play quite
o blithely. You heard the question,
"I wonder how the fair is really do
ing?" "How is it really coming out
financially?" It was a skeleton stalk
ing. Many said. "When the fair is over
then there'll be hard times."
Then a good rumor went cavorting
about with word that the fair was out
of debt.
Exposition Difficulties End.
So you see what it means to Califor
nians finally to have laid the ghost of
Bankruptcy; the burning of the mort
gage publicly in the Court of the Uni
verse, in the presence of thousands of
people, was the last word on exposition
difficulties. Everyone is saying, "Isn't
It nne that the fair is out of debt?"
The crowds have been all but record-
breaking day after day since the burn
ing of the mortgage.
Admission day, with 175,000, was "the
maddest jam, all day and night, since
opening day.
Native daughters and pioneer sons
and daughters formed a procession al
most solidly from the ferry to Van Ness
avenue, and the crowds that flocked in
with them filled all the avenues, palaces
and state buildings. Many buildings
were given over to them, the Oregon
building being offered for luncheon. Sev
eral hundred were fed at the long tables
on the north balconies overlooking the
bay. At the Missouri building they
danced steadily from noon till midnight.
The California building was open all
night with the Marimba band furnish
, ing music. It was altogether a mag
; niflcent outpouring of people to show
their loyalty to their state.
Oregon Men Attend Convention.
The lumbermen's convention and the
annual meeting of the Hoo Hoo were
attended largely from the Pacific Coast.
George M. Cornwall, of the Timberman,
Portland, and O. M. Clark, of the Wilson-Clark
Lumber Company, were in
attendance from Oregon. George M.
Cornwall, who takes an active Interest
in Hoo IIoo doings, was a member of
the good of the order and the press
committees.
There's one timber industry in Ore-a-on
that has had to wake up and start
its wheels going at the behest of the
Exposition, and that Is the North Bend
Manufacturing Company, of Coos Bay.
They manufacture the curious and
beautiful myrtle wood novelties which
are sold as souvenirs in the Oregon
building. The supply sent down and ex
pected to last through the entire Ex
position season has been so far de
pleted as to demand replenishing. Mr.
Gray, manager of this department, says
that the company will be compelled to
open up and turn out a large supply
to keep him going till the close.
Oregon Wood, Alluring.
Two handsome Port Orford cedar
chests have Just been reeei-ed from
the Woodcrafter Company, of Marsh
field, and are attracting a great deal
of attention. The woods of Oregon are
the most persistently alluring feature
of the building, whether in the shape
of beautiful trays, bowls and chests, or
the handsome panels on the top floor,
which show the grain and different
styles of finish of the many varieties
of Oregon woods the Oregon maple,
red cedar, oak, ash. Port Orford cedar,
hemlock, larch, pine, spruce. In hand
some panels, prepared by the Parelius
Company. One panel of Oregon maple
finished with a reddish stain is as
beautiful as a painting, so exquisite ie
the design In the natural grain.
Mrs. P. J. Mann and H. S. Mann are

registered at the Inside Inn. Mrs. Gray
gave a luncheon Saturday honoring
Mrs. I. L. Fatterson, of Salem, state re

COURT BARS SENSATION
SriTS OVER NEIGHBORHOOD SCAX
DAL THROW3C OUT. '
Judge McGinn's Interruption of Case
Brings Applanae From Specta- -torn,
Wno Are Reprimanded.
Just when neighbors of the K. An
derson and Elias Jackson families had
settled themselves in the courtroom of
Circuit Judge McGinn, prepared to hear
an airing of a neighborhood scandal
Judge McGinn interrupted the trial and
threw the case out of court.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson had sued Mr.
and Mrs. Jackson for 20. 000. They
had been slandered, they said. Mr. and
Mrs. Jackson, it was alleged, had told
some of their neighbors that the An
dersons were conducting their house
improperly.
The Jacksons came back with
counterclaim. They demanded J25.900
damages. Their daughter Edna had
been led astray, they said, by the And
ersons. The girl had been persuaded
to leave her parents and had finally
gone insane, according to their charge.
Judge McGinn tried to get them to
settle the case. They wouldn't settle.
A jury was drawn and Mrs. Anderson
was called as the first witness for the
rlaintiffs. She was testifying about
the Jackson girl, around whom most of
the scandal centered. Then Judge Mc
Ginn interrupted.
"I am not going to sit here and hear
people who ought to have more sense
tell about this poor girl's shame," said
the court. "This case goes out of
court."
A wild burst of applause interrupted
at thie point and Judge McGinn ham
mered with a gavel.
"There must be no demonstration
of this kind in the courtroom," he
warned.
The crowd left the courtroom and
Judge McGinn dismissed the Jurors.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON' Euer,
Sept. 14. (Special.) Waiting; in line
to register. 32o students filed through
the aisles of Johnson Wuli th-
Oregon Administration building, and
left their names with Rpsristmr A R
Tiffany.
The record exceeds that of last voi-
for the initial six hours by exactly 38,
according to figures furnished by Mr.
Tiffany. Paul Downard. of .Portland,
was the first student to retristor- in
Johnson Hall, and Russell Fox. of As
toria, second. Both are freshmen.
Although there was not a clas rat
ing of the men and women to register
at the university, it is figured that the
majority of those who did are new
students.
Klrst Day Devoted to Freshmen.
The first day of enrollment .always
s devoted to the freshman class, while
tomorrow the upper classes will hold
sway with a predicted intermixing of
"f rosh."
"Optimistic" was the word Registrar
Tiffany used to express the sentiment
of the faculty regarding an increase
in the liberal arts enrollment.
"I predict a final registration mark
will show figures between 900 and 1000
before the last student will pass my
window to enter college this semester.
In addition, it is likely that the Febru
ary term will bring back scores of old
students, who have remained away be
cause of financial reverses.
Commerce, Journalism Popular.
Among the men the commerce and
journalism courses with a liberal sprin
kling of economics seem most popular.
The law school and its enrollment is
still a problem, as figures for admit
tance have not been cited by the de
partment. The enrollment in law will
feature tomorrow's work.
Pre-medics has received a large
choice, especially among the men.
New students arriving in the city
have been met by delegations from the
fraternaties and a committee from the
university Y. M. C. A. that has assist
ed them in obtaining rooms and board

Idaho Senator's Geographical Handicap
Considered Insurmountable by
Many for President.
That Mr. Justice Charles. E. Hughes
would be the first choice and Senator
Borah second choice of the Republi
cans of Oregon today for President is
indicated by an estimate made by
party committeemen received by Ed
ward D. Baldwin, secretary of the
Republican State Committee. Request
was made of party executive officers
in each county to give their judgment
as to the preference of the rank and
file of the party that the best obtain
able information might be available
for Secretary James B. Reynolds, of the
Republican National Committee, who
is now in the city.
Replies received from more than
half the counties of the state give
the following percentage:
"Plrrt choice for Republican nomine in
1916
Hughes . . .56 per cent 'Root 5 per cent
Borah .... 17 per cent Any good Re-
Taf t 10 per cent, publican. . 12 per cent
Second choice lor Republican nominee
In 1W16
Borah K2 per eent'Taf t 15 percent
Root 13 per centTIuhes .... 8 per cent
Many of those who gave Borah as
second choice said that many Republi
cans in their counties would rather
have him than any other, but they re
garded his geographical location as a
handicap which couid not be overcome
in the race for the nomination.

NEW TRIAL S SOUGHT
Wilson T. Hume Files Motion in In-gen-aoll
Snit.
Wilson T. Hume yesterday filed a
motion for a new trial in the suit of
Mr. and Mrs. a. E. Ingersoll against
W. II. Warren, private secretary to
Mayor Albee, and members of the po
lice moral squad. Judge Gantenbein
probably will rule on the motion Sat
urday. The principal grounds cited by Mr.
Hume is that the Jury which tried the
case returned a verdict in favor of the
policemen, but did not mention Mr.
Warren's name. The judge had in
structed them that a verdict for the
policemen would automatically vindi
cate Mr. Warren.
