A very few weeks will see active con
struction work in progress on the build
ings of the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
While no definite time was set for the
awarding o contracts yet the state com
mission, at Its monthly meeting yesterday,
adopted a resolution announcing that the
commission is ready to pass upon the
'plans and specifications preparatory to
letting the contracts, xne commission aiso
decided that It will directly supervise the
construction work and. pay ou Its money
ther than delegate the corporation to
perform these functions.
There was some difference of opinion
upon the propriety of giving the corpo
ration control of the construction of the
building work, as suggested in a recent
communication. An hour or more was
devoted to a d!scussl6n of the question
and when a vote was taken three of the
members voted to turn the responsibilities
of building over to the corporation. Five,
however, voted that the commission should
preserve this power and responsibility,
and" this settled, the Issue.
The difference of opinion lay In Inter
pretations of the enactment of tho Legis
lature defining the relations of tne com
mission to the Expos (tlon. It was urged
in favor of the corporation's proposition
that should it assume ajl responsibility
there would be no hampering clash of
authority; that according to the Legis
lature's enactment the commission Is re
quired merely to" see that the buildings
are built -and. not to actively supervise tne
work.
On the other hand, the, contention was
made that the Legislature expressly pro
vided that the commission should have
these buildings constructed and so con
ferred a"poser upon the commission that,
being in itself a delegated power, could
not be delegated.
Corporation's View of It.
Director General Goode, in explaining
before the commission the view of the
matter taken by the directors of the cor
poration said, that it was Important that
the work should be placed In the hands
of the corporation and -executed subject
to the approval of the commission, all ex
penditures to be made by the corporation
which should later be reimbursed by the
commission.
"The greatest care mu3t be taken In the
construction of these buildings," said Mr.
Goode. "in order to prevent a large re
pair fund. In the East there have been
large repair funds In connection with ex
positions, because of Improper work and
In fact I know of one fair where the re
pair expense totaled ,$60,000. Now I want
it understood that we are by no means
seeking to usurp any of the functions of
the commission. VTe merely believe it
would be to the b&t advantage that we
should assume all tho blame and thus re
move any division of responsibility. "We
do not willingly Invite this responsibility
for Its own sake but because we feel that
since we are responsible for repairs we
should be allowed to erect the buildings."
Commissioner Albert replied with the
statement that the powers of the Legis
lature could not. In his opinion, be con
ferred upon the corporation.
riut we are informed by Attorneys ila
larkey and Gammans that such action
can be taken," Interrupted Commissioner
Spencer.
"And other attorneys tell mo different
ly," replied Commissioner Albert. "It Is
the difference of opinion between attor
neys that brings about law suits. As to
any conflicts In the building work those
can be settled by the superintendent, so
looking at it from all points I cannot vote
for the shifting of any responsibilities."
The following resolution was adopted by
a vote of five to three:
Plans Already Made.
Resolved, That, In reply to a communica
tion from tho Lewis and Clark Exposition
Company, of December 2, 1003, this commis
sion had fully decided thla matter prior
to the date of this communication, to-wlt:
On October 10, 1003, In a resolution em
powering the building committee of this
commission to recommend a general super
intendent of all buildings to bo erected by
the commission, and to advertise for bids
for the construction of such buildings, in ac
cordance with the plans and specifications
accepted by this commission; that the said
state commission is ready and has been to
Immediately consider any plans submitted
In accordance with section 4 of tho act cre
ating thl3 commission, and that it is ready
upon their acceptance to contract Immedi
ately for the said buildings. In accordance
with the above mentioned resolution,
adopted and submitted to the Lewis and
Clark Corporation.
A second resolution was adopted as
follows:
Resolved, That the secretary be Instructed I
to aavise uie i,ewi3 anu viurtt urporuuon
that this commission stands ready to ap
prove the plans for alt buildings and further
that the committee on grounds and build
ings stands ready to proceed at once upon
the approal of plans for the construction
of same.
The buildings in question and their cost
are: State's building, $73,000; Machinery
building, Mo.qCO; Arts' building and As
sembly Hall, $45,000; Forestry building,
$20,000; entrance to Administration build
ing, $20,000; bridge. $30,000; agricultural
grounds and experiment station, $6500;
dairy farm building, $4500; kite shaped
tracks, $3000; stalls for stock, $12,000; grand
stand on peninsula, $4000.
Building Superintendent .Appointed.
The position of general superintendent
of buildings went to Fred A.' Erickson, a
Salem contractor. He will receive a sal
ary of $7.50 per day while actively engaged.
This amount was considered excessive by
Commissioner Harry, who thought that
$5 per day was plenty and that any num
ber of good men could be secured for that
amount. Commissioner Albert declared
that a competent man would not work for
any such amount as $5 a day, and when
a vote was taken the salary was fixed
at -$7.50.
When the bids for the material and con
struction of . the State building at St.
Louis were called. It was found there was
but one solitary bid on hand and that It
covered but a portion of the material. The
necessity of prompt action In getting the
building erected was urged, with the re
sult that the committee on St. Louis
buildings was given full power to do what
is necessary o prevent further delay. Thl3
committee will get together early In the
week and decide upon a plan of action.
the Assistant -Uistncu Aiioraey, who
has charge of the matter, to believe that
the bondsmen have formed an organiza
tion to carry on their dealings to better
advantage. One arrest Just made discloses
that the prisoner went on tho bonds of
154 persons at one police station in the
course of nine months, and that the prop
erty he scheduled was owned by a woman
with whom he was unacquainted. Ho
was -sent to jail under charge of perjury.
EEFUSES T9k TOAST ITiAG.
Contractor, Sore at Unions, Says
America Has No Liberty.
CHICAGO, Dec 12. William D. O'Brien,
toastmaster"at the banquet of ' contractors
and builders at the. Auditorium Hotel,
has refused to toast tho American flag
as an emblem of liberty.
"Why, the emblem of liberty 13 a farce,"
he cried, "when men are shot down in the
streets because they are trying- to earn
a living; when we are afraid to assert
our rights for fear some labor organiza
tion will. oppose us.
"It Is ridiculous," he said, "to think
you should be obliged to waste your time
discussing your rights with walking dele
gates, business agents and labor leaders.
You have your rights, and -no man should
be able to step In and dictate to you and
tell you where jour rights begin and end.
We want to make this national organiza
tion so strong that It will never again be
necessary for us to confer day after day
with labor leaders to obtain our rights.
If a man Is nota union member and is
loyal to you, yotrVmust be loyal to him.
We must be abler to obtain liberty In
every s,ense of the word and not merely
privileges. The conditions are disgrace
ful which make it necessary for us to
consult with our employes at every step."
Contractor William Grace, of Chicago,
declared he was tired 'of being told
what to do by Gompers and Mitchell and
other labor leaders. Mr. Grace declared
that the running of the United States mall
cars without police protection during the
recent strike had made him think that his
rlght3 and the rights of every American
citizen was Just as sacred as the mall
cars. By other speakers all the troubles
of the builders were laid at the door of
organized labor. Tlje feeling for the
"open shop" was strong. l
HAWAII WILL FACE SHORTAGE
Receipts Will Only Be One-Half of
Appropriations for Expenses.
HONOLULU. Dec. 12. It Is estimated
that the monthly Income of the territory
after December 1 will be only about half
of the amount appropriated by the Legis
lature for salaries and other expenses.
Governor Carter and the heads of depart
ments have had numerous conferences on
the subject of retrenchment of expendi
tures, and there will be a general effort
to reduce expenses. The counties take
nearly all the revenue after their organ
ization of January 4.
Governor Carter has withdrawn the ad
vertisement of sale of the Kohala water
ditch franchise, which has been, beforo
the territorial government for three years.
It Involves the expenditure of several mil
lions to conserve mountain water in Ko
hala. The Governor will again offer the
privilege for sale after deciding upon
terms.
Professor W. .D. Alexander, of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey,

to be several miles out of the position in
which It appears on the mariners' charts.

VATICAN HAY CONDEMN BOOK.
Latest Work of Abbe Lolgny Is Un
der Discussion.
HOME. Dec. 12. It has been proposed
not only to put the latest book of the Abbe
Lolgny on the Index Purgatorlus, but to
have It condemned by the holy office.
Archbishop Migrot, of Albi. France, who
is now In Bome, is favorable to the Abbe
Lolgny. He considers him the greatest
Roman Catholic thinker of France. He
believes the Abbe writes in good faith and
sayshe should be heard before he Is con
demned. The Pope today, in receiving Mgr. Le
camas. Bishop of Larchelle. said:
"I appreciate very mucn your book, 'Tho
Life of Christ.' "
The bishop was surprised at his work
being known to the Pope, and the latter
added:
"I keep It constantly next to my bed.
and I read some of it every night. It
helps me," the Pontiff concluded smil
ingly, "with my French."
