1 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1922 ill! inn mm iun niLAUtLrniA had exposition mdrey Manager for Sesqui-Centen- nial Fair Chief Need. OREGON FAILURE WANTED Portland Plans Declared at Once Obstacle and Kelp to Quaker City's 192 6 Proposal. BY JAMES T. OLSON", Of Th OreBcmian City Staff. PHII.ADKLPHIA. May 11. (Spe cial.) Citizens of this city of -brotherly love" are determined to fttagre the Sesquicentennial exposition In 1926, and strange as it may seem, they are not the least worried about t inn ncin7 th nroleet. In fact, as surances already have been made 'coming: by popular subscription, but that even more than is necessary may be had for the mere asking But there axe worries confronting- the men behind this movement to hold a world's exposition in com memoration of the signing of the pendence hall a century and a half ago. Director Is wanted. One of these worries is to find a man of sufficient vision and ability to direct the exposition. Philadelphia Is not content with any unknown quantity for this position. For in stance, they have offered Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, ?50. 00 a year for five years to handle the work. But Mr. Hoover was not Interested and refused the offer. Kext they looked to Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel works, but he likewise declined. At present negotiations are on with a number of men prominent in the financial and industrial world, and it is quite certain that some man will be found who will not frown at taking the $50,000 berth Party Favors Home Man. But while the controlling body of the exposition is casting about every where except in Philadelphia for a director-general, there are many of the citizens of this city who feel that a man of the proper caliber can be found at home, if proper search Is made. Another thing that Is worrying the Philadelphia exposition people is been inaugurated to gain congres sional recognition. Oregon is proving somewhat of a stumbling-block in this respect for although Oregon has not yet outlined Its financial campaign, it has ob tained congressional recognition. The delay in arranging the financial af fairs of the 1925 exposition in Oregon Is encouraging to the Philadelphia exposition folk, who are sitting by and hopefully awaiting word that such arrangements cannot be per fected. Oregon Plans Obstacle. The Oregon exposition plans, if they should not materialize, will prove of considerable benefit to Phila delphia, for the 1925 exposition talk has served to keep several cities out of the exposition game. This is just what the boys in the Quaker city had hoped for. J But if Oregon steps behind the wheels, as is her custom, and raises the money, Philadelphia will find it mere difficult to get the assistance that Is necessary, but it is certain to cause embarrassment, particularly with foreign nations, when the bids arrive for participation in two world expositions within a year of one an other, and both on American soil. Philadelphia and her people are confident that they will have no trou ble In staging the fair, and from the manner in which financial aid has been lined up there can be no doubt that its plans will move forward rapidly. Oregon in 1925 is a fly in the ointment which, of course can be overcome, but to Philadelphia's way of thinking. It would be best if the fair plans out in the far west were Abandoned. Work on Site Brgun. The work of preparing the exposi tion ground which is adjacent to Lin coln park, is being carried on, and buildings, the majority old tenement dwellings and flats, are being razed as rapidly as the wrecking crews can operate. The site Is an Ideal one for an ex position, overlooking Schuykill river, which Is parked on both sides and is used extensively for boating and aquatic sports. The site is directly across the river from the site of the Centennial exposition held in Phila delphia in 1876, and It is probable that the old grounds, which are now known as Lincoln park, as well as the sole surviving building, now utilized as the Pennsylvania museum, will be a part of the 1926 exposition in Philadelphia.

EX-KAISER DEVELOPS Lectures Attended by Nnmewos Distinguished Persons and Make Tremendous Hit. WASHINGTON. D. C, May 11. (Special.) The first two lectures of Frank Branch Rilej-'s series of four In Washington have entertained audiences distinctly representative of the official and social life of the capital, and so great In size as to exceed the accommodations provided for them. The famous old Cosmos club Mon day night opened its doors not only to its members but to women and other guests and called it a "gala night." Gilbert Grovesnor, editor of the National Geographic magazine and president of the club, introduced the lecturer to the audience, which included members of congress, heads of government bureaus, Judges, and distinguished visitors from other parts of the country sojourning in the city. The University club was the scene of Tuesday night's lecture and many officials of the national parks and forestry bureaus were in attendance. Mr. Riley tonight entertained an audience of 1000 in the auditorium of the City club. The Army and Navy club is host for the event tomorrow night and Commander F. J. Cleary, chairman of the entertainment com mittee, has announced that the de mand for tickets is such that all space in the clubhouse already has been engaged and no more invita tions can be issued. Mr. Riley and his staff went Mon day to Philadelphia to appear for the institute of banking and for the Camden, N. J., chamber of commerce. Breacli of Promise Charged. KALAMA. Wash., May 11.

Adv. will be Mental State of War Exile Causes Anxiety at Doom. RECLUSE DWELLS IN PAST Allusion to Politics Is Seldom and Time Devoted to Study of Bible and Prayer. AMSTERDAM, May 11. Ex-Emperor William's devotion to religion has progressed to the point of mania. Admiral von Tlrpitz, ex-minister of the German navy, is reported to have told a friend recently. The German ex-kaiser is described as spending the greater part of each day in reading the Scriptures, com mentaries, sermons and other re ligious books and in prayer. His physical health appears to be good, but the members of his entourage at Doom regard his mental state with some anxiety. Mind Dwells la Past. It Is observed that his Interest In European affairs has greatly dimin ished, even politics finding him somewhat uninterested. His mind appears to live rather in the past than in the present, and he is dis posed, whenever he does converse on politics, and someone speaks of the injustice of the wqrld, to allude with a certain melancholy and indiffer ence to what he terms the false ac cusation of his having "willed the war." Mental Outlook Narrowed. During his reign as emperor of the German empire William was primate of the Lutheran state church of Prussia and as such he always stud ied theology and cultivated expert ness in defense of Lutheran doc trines and their application. His m ind was often divided, in those days, between the study of military and religious questions, but now he is said to be enthralled in religious questions alone to the exclusion of all problems of statecraft. His mental outlook seems to ha-e narrowed and his rare visitors fiad his mind shut in and closed to pres ent German affairs and the relations between Germany and the remainder of the European countries.

Gov ernor McKelvie set a hearing for Sat urday. A statement by the federal and state investigators of the charges says that both Judge Flynn and Sher iff Rutledge have not only been lax in enforcing the prohibitory laws, but there is "positive evidence where the judge and sheriff together have taken money and other valuables to release prisoners sentenced to jail for viola tion of the liquor laws and that the judge himself has accepted whisky in exchange for valuables left by prisoners." BLUE LAWS ARE TARGET Seventh Day Adventists to Oppose Sunday Closing. SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. Plans for taking the prophetic gospel of St. Matthew to the furthermost corners of the earth and for combating Sun day closing and other "blue laws," were joint issues today in the opening session of the world conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomina tion here. Approximately 600 dele gates are in attendance from every country in the world. During the two weeks of its ses sion, the conference will hold daily committee meetings to devise ways and means of combating Sunday closing laws. These laws, it was maintained, threaten the very founda tion of the church and the spread of the gospel of St. Matthew. Aerial Circus Planned. SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.

Constitutionality of the law creating the state fisheries board and delegating to it powers to fix open and closed seasons for the taking of food fish from the waters of the state was upheld by the supreme court to day in affirmance of the decisitn of Judge Augustus Brawley of Skagit county dismissing the case of C. S. Vail against E. A. Seaborg. super visor of fisheries, and the state fish eries board. Mr. Vail sought to enjoin enforce ment of the orders of the board clos ing Puget sound waters to salmon fishing- between August 26 and Sep tember 15, and between October 26 and April 30, claiming that delega tion of such authority by the legis lature was an unlawful delegation of legislative power. The supreme court found, however, that the legislature had prefaced the law with the declaration of its in tention to protect and perpetuate the fast disappearing food fish supply ot the waters of the state to the people of the state, to whom such food fish belong, and thereafter was delegating only the power to administer such protection. Justice Tolman wrote a dissenting opinion in which he held that the court had departed more and more during the past 20 years from the foundation on which representative government rests, in permitting leg islative power to be delegated to some administrative body and, believing the v,o m when a halt shou.d be called, he was unable to concur with the majority.
