THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 28, 1907.
Washington
Triangle Club of Princeton and
WASHINGTON. April 23. (Special
correspondence.) The last week
In April was started and closed,
tocially, by amateur college plays, the
two having the reputation of being the
best In the country the Triangle Club
of Princeton and the Mask and Wig
Club of the University of Pennsyl
vania. The scenic effects' of each were
fine, and the boys were as good actors
as many professionals, while their
high-heeled, daintily shod feet were
the despair of their sex, and perhaps
the envy of some of the opposite sex.
'
After the plays there were supper
parties without number, and rare was
the girl not invited to at least one of
them to "meet the heroes of the even
ing." Among the box holders were
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs.
Donald McLean, the newly re-elected
president-general of the Daughters of
the American Revolution; Mr. and Mrs.
Perry Belmont, and Miss Pujo, daugh
ter of Representative Pujo, of Louisi
ana. On Tuesday Mrs. Roosevelt gave her
first large affair since the beginning
of Lent, Illness In the family having
caused a complete change In the White
House calendar for the post-Easter
season. The guests on this occasion
were entertained with music and were
invited for nine-thirty, or one hour
earlier than for similar events in the
Winter. The entire lower floor was
thrown open, brilliantly lighted and
simply decorated with blossoms pe
culiarly appropriate to the season.
Through the half-open windows was
wafted the perfume of hundreds of
hyacinths blooming on the terrace and
lawns.
After greeting the hostess in the
green parlor, the guests passed to the
east room for the muBlcal programme,
after which light refreshments were
served in the state dining-room. Tne
ladles of the Cabinet and Mies Isabella
Hagner. Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary, as
sisted in receiving.
All roads led from Washington to
Jamestown on Thursday, when Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, several little
Roosevelts and several special guests
invited to Join the official party on
' the Mayflower, and almost the entire
' diplomatic corps, on a steamer char
tered for their use, set sail for the
ter-centenntal exposition opening the
following day. A large party of Army
and Navy people also went down for
the official festivities, their interest
centering in the special naval ma
neuvers. The diplomatic contingent included, of
course, the ladles of the various Embas
sies and Legations. Colonel Lefebre and"
Commandant Michel, two Belgian officers
In this country for the exposition, were
also of the party, having arrived in
Washington early In the week and since
then been presented to the upper half
of society, by their host, the Belgian
Minister. In the absence of Baroness
Moncheur, who is taking the rest cure
at Johns Hopkins, the Legation is pre
sided over by the Minister's mother-tn-lsw.

VETOES BRIDGE ORDINANCE
MAYOR LANE THINKS MONEY
CAN BE SAVED.
Requests Council to Allow Specifica
tions to Remain Open for Bid
ders to Submit Plans.
Mayor Lane yesterday vetoed the or
Sinance authorizing the construction of
l reinforced concrete bridge across Sul
livan's Gulch, on Twenty-eighth street.
The Mayor is not opposed to the build
ing of the bridge, but objects to cer
tain provisions of the ordinance. If
the Council will pan another ordinance
not providing that the specifications be
prepared by the City Engineer he be
lieves that several thousand dollars
trill be -saved the city. The structure
Is estimated to cost about $80,000.
Mayor Lane's veto message will be
jubmltted to the Council Wednesday
Ifternoon. The Council is determined
(o build the Twenty-eighth-street
irldge. and upon Wednesday will either
pass the ordinance over the Mayor's
veto or order that another one be pre
pared. . His rrfessage. in part, follows:
"To the Honorable City Council I
herewith return ordinance No. 16,427,
not approved.
"This Is an ordinance which author
izes the Executive Board to advertise
for and receive proposals for the con
utructlon of a reinforced concrete
bridge on Kant Twenty-eighth street.
"It is provided in this ordinance that
aid bridge shall be constructed in ac
rordanee with the plans and specifica
tions prepared by the City Engineer
ind now upon file In the office of the
City Auditor.
"In relation to this matter, I have
to say that I am reliably informed
that a saving of several thousand dol
lars In the cost Of the construction
of this bridge could be made, xand
equally as good, if not a better bridge
could be constructed at a much lower
cost, if the specifications were left
open, allowing bids to be received upon
plans submitted by the bidder for the
same. Being assured that an alter
native clause in an ordinance provid
ing for such bridge to that effect
would make a material reduction in
the cost of this expensive structure
without impairing either the beauty,
strength or life of the same, I have
deemed it best to. return the ordinance
to you with the request for your fur
ther consideration of the same.

Persistent Flirt Must Leave Town
JOHN BELL, dry-goods salesman and
Washington-street flirt, was run out
of town by the police authorities yester
day forenoon because of his highly flirta
tious disposition. Should ho ever return
to "the city, even to say good-by to his
friends. Bell will be sentenced to a term
on the rockplle. Street flirtations are be
coming a very perilous pastime.
' Of all the persistent dudes that ever
spent a month's salary for clothes and
cigarettes. Bell was possibly the most
audacious and annoying in his attitude
towards women pedestrians. It is said
he would follow a woman who chanced to
catch his fancy for hours until an op
portunity presented Itself to form an
acquaintance. He never waited for an in
troduction, but at a favorable moment
would step up. lift his hat and force his
acquaintance on the oft-times unwilling
woman.
His arrest occurred Friday at the In
Lionizes College Actors
Mask and Wig Club of Pennsylvania Stage Plays at National Capital.

Washington, having died shortly after
her marriage.
An interesting, and it is hoped far
reaching event of Monday afternoon, was
the reception given by the Woman's Club
committee of the Washington Play
grounds Association, to "meet Mrs. Don
ald McLean, of New York, and Mrs,
Samuel Amnion, of Pittsburg." The par
lors of the New Willard were prettily
decorated for the occasion, for club folk
as well as "Daughters" have an eye for
the beautiful. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus
sey, the recently elected vice-president-general
of the D. A. R-, with a dozen
other titles of distinction, was master
of ceremonies, and every club woman in
the district, a committee of one, to as
sist in receiving the guests. A feature
of the afternoon was tire accounts of
"What Woman's Clubs Have Done for
Playgrounds," given by the guests of
honor.
Mrs. Ammon was a leader in organis
ing the women's clubs of her home city
so as to secure a larger effectiveness
than those of almost any other American
municipality, and as a result of their
work, the entire playgrounds system of
Pittsburg was carried on by them for
nearly ten years. Her more recent fame
as chairman of the tellers at the last D.
A, R. Congress, when, after a night spent
in counting the 674 votes cast, for th
National board. Mrs. Donald McLean was
declared re-elected president-general of
the N. 9. D. A. R. by an overwhelming
majority. There were 13 candidates for
the office of vice-president-general, but
only ten could be elected. These, by con
stitutional requirement, were the ten re
ceiving the highest majority vote. The
result was a shock to the friends and
theywere legion in the congress of Mrs.
Mary Wood Swift of California, who,
though re-elected by a flattering major
ity, fell one vote short of the number re
ceived by her successor. Mrs. Lindsay
Patterson, of North Carolina. The un
planned defeat of Mrs. Swift was all the
more keenly regretted- by the congress,
as It occurred on the anniversary of her
severe financial losses and the destruc
tion of her home by the earthquake in
San Francisco.
A book that is new but not yet eli
gible for mention in ' the review of
new publications is known in D. A. R.
circles as the "Roll of Honor Book."
It is bound In Servian leather, and on
the title page its originator, Mrs. Dan
iel Lathrop, of Boston, founder of the
Society of Children of the Revolution,
announces that it is dedicated to "per
sons, male or female, in whose name
$50 or more are given to Continental
Hall." In the one year of its life the
book has brought in over 11500 for
the building fund, though a compara
tively few of the Daughters knew of
its existence until the name of Mrs.
Stephen B. Elklns and that of her
mother, the late Mrs. Henry O. Davis,
of West Virginia, were announced as
having been added in a single day dur
ing the Continental Congress.
.
Many of the state regents became in
terested In the plan at once, and de
clared their intention of bringing the
matter up in their state work, with a

explained to Mrs. Vinson, of buying
tickets for Biggs. Or. He has not been

UN HIVE THE WRONG MEN
EVIDENCE FOUND BEARING ON
LTJNDGREN MURDER,
Nelson and Danielson Are Hopeful
of Securing Release Swedish
Friends Have Been Active,
Days of incarceration for C. H.
Danielson and Edward Nelson in the
County Jail are drawing to a close, and
the chances are the men will soon be
free. Deputy District Attorney C-. C.
Moser announced yesterday that he had
discovered new evidence indicating
that other persons are the murderers
of Oscar Lundgren, and that he was of
the belief that both of the men now
in custody had been wrongly convict
ed of the crime. Moser requested of
Judge Fraser yesterday that another
hearing be granted the men on the
grounds that an alibi established now
by the convicted men appears to be
certain, while there was more or less
doubt about it during the trial. The
Judge consented, stating that he
thought the men were entitled to a new
trial.
"There will probably not be a new
trial," said Mr. Moser. "I have found
evidence that points to other persons,
and I will probably file a motion in a
few days to dismiss the case against
Danielson and Nelson."
Nelson and Danielson were arraigned
for killing Oscar Lundgren last Janu
ary in his saloon at the Garfield Hotel,
Fourteenth and Savler streets. The

SORTING MAIL ON TRAINS
(Continued From Pajre 3S,
Thus: it will be seen that the service in
the last 20 years has practically doubled
itself every 10 years.
Mortality In Wrecks.
The occupation of the railway postal
clerk Is most dangerous. It is said on the
best authority that the percentage of
mail clerks annually killed and wounded
in the service is greater than that of the
United States Army in the Mexican War
and several times greater than, that of
the Spanish-American War. During the
last year there were 328 wrecks in which
mail clerks figured. The mail cars are
usually run directly behind the engine
and. when there is a wreck, the fire from
the engine is usually communicated to
these cars, with the result that many
clerks and much valuable mall are In
cinerated annually.
Another cause that adds to the danger
of the mail car is the use of gas and oil
as a lighting .agent. The moment there
is a wreck, if oil be used for light, the
contents of tho lamps are strewn' over
the wreckage of the - mail car, and the
first spark starts a fire. In tho case of
gas. the pipes leading to the storage
tanks are usually broken, with tne re
sult that there is an explosion, which
makes It even more dangerous than oil
Electricity as a lighting n agent would
overcome all this, and steel cars which
could not be smashed would also be a
great protection to the clerks.
Steel Cars for Safety.
There are perhaps more than 100 all-
steel cars now building. The Harriraan
lines have 36 under contract. The Penn
sylvania has a large number and other
roads have cars under construction. The
first all-steel postal car was built by the
Erie and was exhibited two years ago in
Washington. This car was in a wreck
last year, and. though it took & somer
sault down a steep embankment while
the train was running at & high rate of
speed, it came out none the worse for the
experience and all of the clerks escaped
serious injury.
The railway postal clerks have two or
ganizations. The principal one is the
Railway Mail Association, with a mem
bership of 11,000. This association is a
fraternal, beneficial organization. It has
a paper of its own, the Railway Post
Office, whose editor, George A. Wood, of
Portsmouth. N. H., is also secretary and
treasurer of the association. It was
through him that the scope of the organi
zation was so broadened as to make it
considered by the department a valuable
adjunct to the railway mail service in the
solution of the many problems that arise
in the continual effort to better the serv
ice. Mr. Wood has been re-elected to hla
office nine successive times.
Father of Railway Mall.
Even to this day there are rival claims
as to who originated the postal car serv
ice. The friends of the late W. A. Davis,
assistant postmaster at St. Joseph, Mo.,
claim that he was the originator of the
idea, but practically all the official testi
mony gives the credit to George B. Arm
strong, at the time assistant postmaster
at Chicago and afterward superintendent
of the Railway Mall Service. Necessity
has ever been the1 mother of Invention
and it was necessity that led Mr. Arm
strong to think out the postoffice on
wheels.- He had charge of distributing
the mail to the various railroads diverging
from Chicago and found his office
swamped with the work. This led. him to
tell the postmaster that, instead of hav
ing the mail distributed in central post-

What Is "Style" Anyway?
IP you're any like myself, you want
your clothes to look well always
not just when they're new.
To be really "stylish" a suit must
stay stylish.
A suit that forf-f Its shape, en'tfshow
its style.
And a suit that does not hold Its
shape, can't show its style and that's
all there is to it.
I've studied this shape holding
problem a lot, and I've found it is
purely a matter of "shrinkage."
All fabric fibres wool in particular
will shrink.
Just a little dampness will pull It
out of shape.
So, of course, unless this "shrink
tendency" is overcome before the
doth is made into clothes, why, it

stays in the clothes and to make
trouble.
Arid, no matter how much you pay
for a "nobby" suit, if any of the
"shrink tendency" stays in its fabric
the first damp day will be a signal
for "Good-bye Style!"
All cloth comes from the mills
"unshrunk."
Weavers don't shrink cloth, because
they sell by the yard and shrinkage
means lost length.
Therefore, shrinkage is "up to" the
clothes makers.
If they don't overcome it in the
fabric it will show up in the clothes
on your back.
Most clothes makers try to shrink
their fabrics and do shrink them
some.1
But how to take alt the "shrink
tendency" out of cloth is known in
only one place in the world.
And that place is the great Kaufman
Tailoring Establishment in Chicago.

Wearers of Kaufman Garments al
ways look "well dressed" regard
less of weather because of the Kauf
man " Pre-Shrinking" Process.
Other clothes makers cannot use
this process because it is controlled
by the Kaufmans who will not per-
mlt its use outside their own estab
lishment. Kaufman Garments wear best be
cause "Pre-Shrunk" fabrics do not
wrinkle and chafe.
Kaufman Fabrics are as "nobby" as
any because weavers make each season
the same checks, stripes and plain ef
fects In moderate priced cloth as in
'fancy money stuff."
And Kaufman styles are as up-to-date
as any because the Kaufmans fol
low the same fashion plates used by
ail clothes makers each season. The
Kaufmans are content with small
prlflts, so you get Kaufman Garments
guaranteed for only $15 to $18 the
suit or overcoat.
Why, then, should you pay 135 or
more for uncertain style, when you
get style certainly for less money?
Our prices range from $10 to $25. Most
people can be suited in Kaufman
Garments $15 to $18.
