son Offered High Position,
ANOTHER CONTRACT AWARDED
Oregon Building Will Be Erected Dur
ing Coming Three Weeks Other
Buildings Completed, Turned
Over to Commission.
The educational exhibit department for
Oregon was placed on a new basis at the
monthly meeting of the Lewis and Clark
State Commission yesterday. It was de
cided to divide the responsibilities of this
Important department, and to this end
three well-known educators were named
to constitute a governing or advisory
board. Provision was also made for a new
general supervisor of the department. Su
perintendent H. S. Lyman having tendered
his resignation because of ill health
To. R. F. Robinson. Superintendent of
County Schools, was offered the Important
position of supervisor. The newly ap
pointed members of the advisory board
are; State Superintendent of Public In
struction J. II. Ackerman, City Superin
tendent Frank Rlgler. of Portland, and
City Superintendent J. H: Churchill, of
Baker City. All are well-known educat
ors, and with their supervision and that
of Mr. Robinson, who is acconuted a high
ly efficient man for the position of gen
eral supervisor, there can be little doubt
but that the showing in this department
at the Exposition will be commensurate
with the educational conditions of the
state.
Considering the Matter.
Mr. Robinson has not yet accepted the
position. When informed yesterday af
ternoon of his selection, he took the mat
ter under advisement for a few days. An
expression of sympathy was extended Su
perintendent Lyman, tho retiring superin
tendent. Under Its new management the educa
tional department will at once commence
active arrangements for an extensive and
complete exhibit- It Is known that there
was considerable dissatisfaction over the
Oregon educational department at St.
Louis, and it Is intended to make the
.forthcoming exhibit one that will be alto
gether above reproach. The aid of every
educator fn the state will be solicited In
the assembling of the exhibit.
Following the disposition of this ques
tion, the Commission received bids for
the Oregon State building. The contract
was finally awarded to H A. Lynds,
whose bid of ?9270 for the work was the
lowest submitted. "Work will bo com
menced at once, and the building is to be
completed In three months. It will -be lo
cated on the high ground in front of the
Foreign Exhibits building and will face
on Lewis and Clark avenue. Like the
exhibit buildings. It will be of staff. In
the Spanish Renaissance style of archi
tecture. The lower floor will be used as
a reception and reading-room, open to the
uses of all. The State Commission will
likewise be quartered here. The second
floor will be set apart for the use of la
dies and ladies' clubs.
Want More Funds.
An Important resolution was Introduced
by Commissioner J. Couch Flanders, in
dorsing the application of a number of
leading clergymen and exponents of the
higher life, for additional funds to be
used in bringing great thinkers, speakers
and writers to Portland next year. At
present the appropriation Is but 53000,
which is regarded as Insufficient to con
duct a series of institutes of learning.
such as "was recently planned. The reso
lution was referred to the committee on
ways and means, which will report at the
next meeting.
The Liberal Arts building, which was
completed during the week, was formally
turned over to the Commission by Con
tractor Robert Wakefield. Reports were
received that the six others of the exhibit
buildings will bo completed during this
week, and for that reason a special meet
ing was ordered for next Saturday to ac
cept the buildings. Tho buildings which
are so nearly completed are the Agricul
tural Palace and the Administration
group. Contractor J. E. Bennett put an
extra force of men to work on these re
cently in hopes of getting them ready for
acceptance at yesterday's meeting, but the
work was not quite finished yesterday.
RUNS FOE PROTECTION.
Young Girl Calls Upon Police to Ar
rest Her Tormentor.
Insulted and practically assaulted by a
man prominent in the city, and whose
name is known to the police. Clara Gard
ner last, night made a sensational run
from a large wholesale hardware store on
Second street, between Pine and Ankeny,
to escape her tormentor. She thought him
to be following her. but he was not. In
stead, fearing immediate arrest, he left
the establishment, where he is employed
as a clerk and hurried away.
Miss Gardner, almost breathless with
fear and faint from the fright and her
rapid run of three blocks, ran into Police
man Gibson, who was standing at Third
and Oak streets, and was escorted to the
Central Police Station, where she was
turned over to Chief of Police Hunt.
After hearing the girl's story. Chief
Hunt immediately assigned Detective
Hartman to the case, and sent him with
Miss Gardner to the establishment, two
blocks from the station, where the insult
was offered her. When they arrived there,
the store was closed and all hands had
gone home. The girl was instructed to
return to headquarters early Monday
morning, at which time she will again ac
company Detective Hartman to the store
for the purpose of pointing "out the man
wanted. He will be arrested and taken
before Municipal Judge Hogue for a hear
ing. The charge against him will be a
serious one, but Chief Hunt did not know
last night just what he will be warranted
in preferring against the man.

HUFF 18 ARRESTED
John Doe of Land-Fraud Case
Taken on Bench Warrant
COMPELLED TO GO TO JAIL
Unable to Find Suitable Bondsmen,
Huff Has to Spend the Night Be
hind CoIdPrlson Walls, Much
to His Disgust.
Guy Huff, the John Doe in the land
fraud case which is pending in the Fed
eral Court, was arrested yesterday on
a bench warrant from the District
Court and placed Under $4000 bonds to
insure his appearance for trial on De
cember 13. Huff "has been out on 54000
bonds, being under Indictment for for
gery committed In connection with the
land frauds now being unearthed. It
was decided by the court that this bond
was not good and Huff was given until
Monday to renew It. This he was en
deavoring1 to do when tho bench war
rant for his arrest in the second case
was issued.
Eugene Blazler was secured for one
of the bondsmen In the second instance,
but Huff was unable to secure any one
else who would pledge himself for his
appearance, and he was compelled to go
to JaiL
Tho prisoner was a bartender and
gambler several years ago in Eugene
and has been working in a Tacoraa
saloon for some time in the Immediate
past. Ho was accused of being one of
the consplratprs in the Ware-McKInley
conspiracy case, which is to commence
Tuesday. Under a separate indictment
he Is accused of forgery committed
while attempting to further the con
spiracy. It Is promised that the second case,
which is to commence on Tuesday, will
be fully as sensational as the one just
closed. In it Marie Ware will come to
the front as the leading character.
while Horace G. McKinley "will be a
close second. It is expected that the
case will tako about a week in its
trial.
Mr. Heney, the special assistant to
the Attorney-General, who is conduct
lng the cases with John Hall, is due in
Washington, D. C, immediately after
the holidays to arguo tho Hyde-Dla
mond case, which comes to the Supreme
CoUrt on appeal at that time. He will
therefore attempt to crowd tho last
case of the series Into the space re
maining after the close of the next
trial and to finish his work here in
time to be in Washington as scheduled
The Federal grand Jury will be called
between this and Christmas, and many
things, some of .hem growing out of
the trials of this session, will bo sub
mitted to the body for its consideration
There are rumors of many strange
happenings billed .to tako place a short
time after the grand Jury begins to
grind out its indictments. It has been
openly asserted by John Hall and Mr.
Heney in the courtroom that the only
reason S. B. Ormsby and C E. Loomis
were not defendants In the cases now
on trial was that there had not been
sufficient evidence at the March sit
ting. The evidence has now been pro
duced and is a part of the records of
, the court, and it is the common opinion
that the two former Government em
ployes will be among1 the first to hear
from the deliberations of the grand
Jury. Dan Tarpley, so it is rumored, is
slated for further trouble with the
Government and will In all probability
be asked to tell whether or not he
knows anything about certain slgna
tures affixed to affidavits and filing
papers in the Maude Witt claim. It Is
the common supposition that some very
sensational Indictments will be return
ed at the coming sitting of the Jury.
