A GLIMPSE OF THE WESTERN PIANO TRADEv
' EfUE '
POLICE LOOK INTO CASE
Ball of Paper Saturated "With Kero
sene, Lighted and Thrown
Through Broken Window.
Flames Extinguished.
An attempt was made at 9:30 o'clock last
night, by persons unknown to the police,
to burn the establishment of the Holmes
Transfer Company, on Seventh street, be
tween Gllsan and Hoyt. The Are was dis
covered and extinguished before much
damage was done.
At the time the attempt was made sev
eral persons were In the vicinity of tho
Holmes building and casually observed
the firebug. He walked along tho silt of.
the building and stopped before a window
the lower pane of which Is broken. Here
he removed from beneath his coat a large
ball of paper, saturated with kerosene.
Holding the paper In the hollow of his
arm, ho "was observed to strike a match
and light a cigar he had In his mouth. It
is supposed these actions were to distract
the attention of passers-by. If any were
observing him.
After holding the match to the cigar he
touched it to the ball of paper, threw the
burning mass inside the window, and ran
in the direction of Eighth street, T. H.
Walklns, a teamster, observed the man
running, and immediately afterward saw
flames Issuing from the window. He ran
to the office and informed the barn nca
that the establishment was on Ore. They
quickly extinguished the names with a
bucket of water. The Are was Just begin
ning to catch on the window casement,
and in another few minutes, had It not
been discovered, would have caught cn
the goods in storage, and a disastrous con
flagration might have resulted.
The police, were immediately notified,
and Detective Vaughn dispatched to the
scene. He found 'several witnesses who
bad seen the firebug stop by the window
and strike the match, and one who saw
him throw the bundle of burning paper In
the window and start running toward
Eighth street. It is very dark In the vi
cinity, and none of the witnesses saw the
man's face, as he stood with his back
toward tho street when striking the light.
A fair description of his size and Jpear
ance was given the officer.
Detective Vaughn Investigated and
found several small pieces of newspaper
saturated with kerosene, which had not
been burned before the flames were ex
tinguished. The police are confident the
attempt was not the work of a profes
sional firebug, and suspicion rests 1 pon
two men. A further examination will be
made today.
FRAMES ENDANGER RESIDENCE
Furniture Removed From Burning
House Before Department Arrives.
Fire, which started from a defective
flue, damaged the residence of M. Engerts
herger, 293 Hooker street, to the extent
of $501 at 10 o'clock last night.
The residence is a two-story frame
'building, ami the flames veere discovered
by a neighbor, who ran to the residence
nnd informed Engertsberger of the dan

and the department responded as readily
as possible. People living in the neigh

her 2-day-old infant to a place of safety
and removed the greater part of the fur

flames hRd gained .great headway and
were extinguished with difficulty. The

Patron of Cafe Assaulted by "Will
Foster, Waiter.
Will Foster, waiter, last night about 10
o'clock, in the Bismarck Cafe at the Ex
position, assaulted Fred Hess, a patron
of the restaurant, hitting him again and
again with a beer mug. Hess was badly
cut about the neck, several stitches being
taken In the wound at the emergency hos
pital. Foster was arrested by Guard Tut
tle, who turned him over to three soldiers,
whom he thought were Exposition guards.
Foster was never taken to the headquar
ters, and it is presumed that the three
soldiers -were not members of the Exposi
tion guards. Hess was so seriously In
lured that last night he was unable n
nlve a clear account of his trouble "with
Foster. From the hospital he was taken
in a carriage to his home on East Fif

of times that the waiter had not returned
with change that was due him. Foster
passed by and Hess accosted him, dc
mandln that the change due him be re
turned, according to the version of tho
affray told by Helleman. Foster gave
Hess the money upon the latter threaten
ii.g to report the matter to the proprietor
of the restaurant, and then the vicious
assault took place.

MAINE BUILDING HONORS LONGFELLOW
REPLICA OF GREAT POET'S BIRTHPLACE ERECTED AT THE EXPOSITION
There are two Portlands of prominence, j
one an Atlantic seaport in Maine and
the other a Pacific seaport In Oregon, and
although they are nearly as far apart as
two cities' In the United States can be,
there Is a common bond between them. It
is not because the two cities bear iden
tical names; it Is not because they have
similar shipping Interests, but in both
Portlands there stands a big. roomy, old
fashioned mansion, dear to the many ad
mirers of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
the greatest of American poets.
In Portland. Me., this old-fashioned
and wholesome structure Is the birth
place of the noted poet; In Portland. Or.,
It Is a replica of the original building.
Tucked away In one of the corners of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, behind the
Idaho and Illinois State buildings, stands
the replica of the birthplace of Longfel
low. It is the exhibit of the State of
Maine at the Exposition, erected by popu
lar subscription. The Oregon Portland
was named by a Maine man in honor of
his state metropolis, and it Is therefore
deemed peculiarly "fitting that the birth
place of the most popular and beloved
poet of America should be set up as
Maine's state building in tho Oregon me
tropolis. When this house on Fore street, Port
land, Me-, was built more than a century
ago it was the finest one in that city. It
was the home of Samuel Stephenson, a.
brother-in-law ot the poet's father. The
father of the poet was Stephen Longfel
low, a leading lawyer of the tisse. He
was married to Miss ZItpah Wadsworth
on New Yexra day. liOi. The young
couple spent the Winter of 1906-07 as
guests of the Stepbensons. and the poet
was born la their house February 27,
ls97. Shortly afterward the little family
moved to another residence in Portland,
which is familiarly known as the Long
fellow home, because It was there that
the poet grew up and passed many happy
days. But the place of his birth still
stands, and the Maine Comssission deeaed
it more attlBg for reproduction than the
other reddeaee.
The bulldisg has bee a open to the pub

"PIONEERING IN AFRICA"
Willis R. Hotcliklss Speaks at 1". 21.
C. A. This Afternoon.
Willis H. Hotchklss, a young man who
has had a remarkable experience aa a
missionary in Africa, will tell the story
of the years that he spent In that coun
try, at the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation this afternoon. Mr. Hotchklss
went to Africa under the Missionary
Board of the Friends' Church, with the
purpose of starting an Industrial colony.
He entered alone an unknown part of
that continent, going1 into the Interior
from the Eastern coast, and for several
years lived among the natives learning
their language and seeking to bring to
them the principles of civilization and
Christianity. During this period he had
many hairbreadth escapes from wild
beasts and the natives themselves.
Mr. Hotchklss la planning to return to
a different part of Africa this Fall with
the purpose of establishing a permanent
industrial colony among the natives. He
will go better equipped this time, taking
with him two or three men. among them
a trained agriculturist, and in another
jrear or two he expects to have others
follow him from this country.
K. Knudson will be the soloist for the
occasion. The meeting will be at 3:30
o'clock, at Fourth and Yamhill street,
and Is free to men.

THIRD RECORD DAY AT PAIR
ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY ONLY
EXCEEDED TWICE.
Sham Battle aad Saaserbaad StroBg;
Attractleas to Teas ot Thoa
saBds of Sightseers.
Yesterday was another record-breaking
day at the Exposition, the attendance,
with the exception of the openlnjr day
and the Fourth of July, being larger than
ever before. Although there were two
signal events at the Exposition yesterday,
the sham battle and the Pacific Saengcr
bund. It was not a special day more than
any other.
The sham battle attracted thS largest
crowds, and to it Is largely due the enor
mous attendance of yesterday. Saturday,
as a rule. Is the biggest day of the week
at the Exposition, the crowds at night be
ing particularly large.
Little difficulty was experienced In han
dling tho crowds, there being no conjes
tlon at the gates or exits. The streetcar
company was able to cope with the crowd
at night, which it was unable to do on
the night of the Fourth of July, when
hundreds of people walked home.
The -visitors to the Exposition during
the day stayed mostly In the exhibit build
ings out of the sun. The streets and path
ways were not crowded until 4 o clock in
the afternoon, when the visitors flocked
out of the buildings to see the sham
battle. The terraces overlooking the lake,
and from which could be obtained an ex
cellent view of the movements of the
troops, were black with people.
The Trail at night was packed and
jammed, it being estimated that there
were 10,000 on the amusement street of
the Exposition at one time. There were
no openings In the Trail at night it was
one solid crowd. To get through It was
crush and Jam from one end to the other.
The visitors were all good-natured, and
there was no rowdyism to spoil the pleas
ures of the nlcht-
high; prajse for the fair

Someone has said that nine-tenths pt
the people who visit Portland and the
Exposition go away sounding the praises
of both. This saying Is finding substan
tiation in the communications which are
being received by the Exposition man
agement from people who have been here
and in laudatory Interviews which are
appearing In various papers throughout

from Alice Stone Blackwell. editor of
the Woman's Journal, of Boston. She
was In Portland less than two weeks ago i
and Immediately upon her return home
rhe expresses herself as perplexed that
people should go to Switzerland and else
where for beautiful mountain scenery
when that of Oregon is so much superior.
Her letter In part Is as follows:
"I have been much struck with the rich
natural resources of Oregon, as well as
with the grandeur and beauty of the
scenery. A great future undoubtedly, lies
before the state, agriculturally and com
mercially; and If the region were as well
known as It deserves to be. It would soon
become a resort of tourists, from all parts
of the world. Why should New Yorkers
and Bostonlans go to Europe for their
vacations fo much oftener than to the
Pacific slope? I have seen the most
famous mountains of Switzerland, but
have met with nothing that can surpass
the ocenery of some of our own Western
States. To me the sail up the Columbia
.River was fully, as delightful as a sail
down the Rhine. If the Rhine has more
historical associations, we have here In
Oregon the sight of history In the mak
ing; and the future Is more Interesting
and Inspiring than the past.
This Exposition differs from all others
that I have attended, ln that It brings
before the visitor in compact and con
centrated form a blrdseye view of the
rich possibilities of this wonderful Pa
cific Northwest. The -magnificent fruit,
the -mammoth vegetables, the giant
grain, the rich ores and astonishing tim
ber all are a revelation to the visitor
from the East. He or she sroes awav with
enlarged knowledge and a vastly in
creased respect for the Far West.
"The forestry bulldlns: Is more i mures
slve than any one building at any other
.cxposuon i nave ever attended. I was
especially struck by the beauty of the
polished woods In the Coos County build
ing, glossy as the finest satin and marked
ana marbled, some of them, as exqui
sHely as agate."
TWO HEAT PROSTRATIONS.
Women Affected "Recover Quickly at
Emergency Hospital.
For the first time since the opening day
there were two heat prostrations at the
Exposition yesterday, Mrs. Ernestlna
Markwart, of Scappoose. and Mrs. Emma
Matteson being afflicted. Both of the
women recovered immediately upon being
taken to the emergency hospital.
The physicians at the hospital say they
were not sunstrokes, but heat prostra
tions. The women had overdone them
selves In walking about the Exposition,
and became overheated, fainting as a re
sult. It Is very rarely that a, heat pros
tration results fatally on the Pacific Coast.
