CRITICS ASSAIL" CHOICE Assort That Portland-Place, AYliere World's Tribute Is to Be Erected, Is Too Far XYom Hie Center of London. '. I-ON'DOX, March 28. (Special.) The choice of Portland-place aa the site for the monument which Is to be erect ed In 1918 as the world's tribute to Bbakcspcare has aroused a storm of criticism. The site. It Is felt. Is too far from the center of London. It Is acknowledged that Portland - place would afford a wide and dignified ap proach, the Crescent Gardens and Re Bent's Park a suitable green back ground for the memorial, whatever Its more slender.

In a short time she- wiH leave her artificially heated apartment and take to the open air, and if all goes well, will be able to move with her parents to Idaho at the conclusion of the session of Congress. SEE THAT HALLS ARE SAFE Fire Department Officials to Inspect Public Buildings. Whether or not Portland churches, and other public buildings where large ciowds assemble are safe-guarded as required by law with regard to fire protection and especially as to exits, is said to be a matter eoon to be officially considered by the fire committee of the executive board. It has been reported that the conditions in many public halls are far from such as should pre vail, and that an investigation by the officers of the Fire Department will soon be ordered. At present Chief Campbell Is con ducting an Investigation Into the con dition of the public schools, and this will require perhaps two wees. It Im thought that when this task Is finished the matter of churches and halls may be taken up. It has been reported to members of the executive board that It Is a frequent occurrence In many houses of worship and In other public halls numbers far in excess of the safety provisions of the ordinances to n I 1 i'i 1 2 i i i: GILLIAN COUNTY PIONEER CLOSES EVENT FUL CAREER V The I-ote Conrad C. Ki-hott. of Olex. OI.EX. Or.. March 28. (Spe cial.) Conrad C. Schott, one of the best-known and most highly . respected pioneers of Kastern Oregon, died at his home on Rock Creek, near Olex, Sunday morn ing, March 22, aged 76 years. Deceased was born In Germany in 1832, and came to America at the age of 4 years, spending his youth at St. Louis, Mo., and emi grating to California in 18D2, where he engaged in mining for" a few years, thence going to Cor vallis, Or., where' he was mar ried to Miss Frances Mobley in February. JS64. From Corvallls Mr. Schott came to Eastern Ore gon In 1365, where he located ana spent the remainder of his life. Besides his wife, Mr. Schott is. survived by seven children: Mrs. Thomas Johnson, Condon; Mrs. 1. S. Tobey, Hay Creek; Misses Katherine and Pearl Schott, Olex; George Schott, Ferry Canyon; Kdward and C. Soliott, Jr., Olex. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. E. Curran of Con don, at the home: and the body was followed to its last resting place, the Olex cemetery, bv one of the largest funeral processions ever assembled in the county. Prom inent members of the Mason lodge, of which Mr. Schott was an hon ored member, were in charge of the burial rites. form. But critics declare the monument ought to be placed considerably further south and nearer the center of London, whore more people would see It. One suggestion made is that the monument should be placed at the junction of Kingsway and Aldwych. Another suggestion has been made that Shakespeare's memory would be better preserved if the greater part of the $1,000,000 which the memorial commit tee hopes to raise were devoted to the formation of a national theater for the performance of the master plays. It is said, however, that millions would not buy a national theater; it must grow. The statue of the Duke of Kent, which the King has consented to have removed, will be put lower down In Portland-place. The committee of selection In the competition for designs will include Viscount Esher, Lord Plymouth, Sir E. 'Poynter, Sir A. Webb, Mr. Belcher, T. Brock and Sidney Colvin, and a sculp tor to be nominated by the American Ambassador. An interesting feature will bo the formation of a committee of representative women, and the gen eral committee will at once endeavor to raise $100,000 as a nucleus of the fund for working expenses. It Is un derstood that 1,000.000 circulars will be distributed throughout the world set ting forth the object and scope of the memorial. gather, and that other terms of the ordinances are violated. In connection with the matter of safety of the public schools a commit tee recently .appointed from the Men's Club, of the Woodlawn Methodist Episcopal Church, to Investigate con ditions at the Woodlawn School, has made a report, showing many alleged dangerous features in that building. ROSE CITY PARK MEETING FIRST INCH BATOR BABY COXGKKSSIOXAIj circles are STIRRKD OVKU XOVELTY. J'irft-norn of Representative French, of Idaho, Is So Frail Artifi cial Menus Are Used. 1 OH1XIONIAX NEWS Bl'RRAV, Wash 'lncum, March 24. Washington is in tensely Interested In the first incubator fcaby born in Congressional circles. The newcomer Is the diminutive daughter of ; Representative Burton L. French, of ?3iUho. This little one, born January 4. isistcred on the scales Just three pounds lend ten ounces. She was so small and Ifiail that it was necessary, in order to Uave her life, to place her In an incuba tor, and there she bas been ever since. I During the first few days of her worldlv '.existence, the French baby was in a most precarious condition, slight though she was at birth, she began to lose weight, Mind droptw?d five ounces. She was then in such delicate condition that for days she ! could not be weighed, but she pulled ! through the crisis, and at the end of two weeks' time had regained her original . weight, and has since then gained slowly, ' but steadily. Now she weighs about one kpound more than at hlrth, and there Is very reason to believe that her develop ment will continue. An incubator baby is a rarity at best, but, one In Congressional circles has nat- 'tirally attracted wide attention. Mr. . French has been frequently interrogated j by his friends, and all seem Intensely In- terested in the development of this ln jfant. Mr. French is duly proud of the j first arrival in his family, so much so that he deplores the fact that when a 1 younger man he did not take up the study of medicine. He talks enthusiastically of his young daughter and has the greatest praise for the latter-day advances of the medical profession, without which his baby could not have lived. This Infant was more than two months old before she ' was removed. In her incubator, to the 1 home of Mr. and Mrs. French, and It , was not until then that she received her ' first bath In water. The care of incubator babies has been ! reduced to a science, and the profession : decrees that not until the Infant reaches i a certain development shall it be fed j from the bottle. During her first two ; months, the French baby was fed through La tube; when she went home the bottle ftook the place of the tube, and it was (then that the water bath was substituted for the dally rub-down In sweet-all. Diminutive though she was at first, and I frail, tills little -one was perfectly formed; almost as long aa the average baby, but W. Ii. Boise Will Talk to Improve' ment League Tomorrow Night. President Whitney L. Boise, of the United East Side Push Clubs, will ad dress the regular meeting of the Rose City Park Improvement League, to be held at the Alameda schoolhouse to morrow night at 8 o'clock. He will talk on the general subject "District Improvement Work." The entertain ment committee has also secured the services of Mies Clara Mastic, a well known local elocutionist and dramatic reader, to give a number of selections at the meeting. Among the questions which will be considered will be the proposed $1,500,. 000 high-level bridge, the two pro jected through streets to the Country Club, one of which Is planned to fol low the upper level and the other the lower level. It Is planned through the co-operation of the various district im provement organizations In the Inter ested territory to have these streets put In condition to form attractive automobile and pleasure vehicle drive ways and to have them in shape to accommodate the crowds at the various attractions to be held at the Country Club during the coming Summer. The streetcar committee will report on the question of the extension of the Rose City Park line westward on Sandy road from East Twenty-eighth street, and on the loop to the Country Club. INCENDIARISM IN BERLIN "Jack the Burner" Baffles Police of German Capital. BERLIN. March 2S.-(SpeciaL)-Berlin is being searched high and low for a mys terious "Jack the Burner," who has been setting buildings on fire in various dis tricts of the city. Thirteen fires, involv ing considerable loss and danger to life, are attributed to his incendiary habits. The entire tire brigade is kept in "double alarm," and many firemen and horses are stated to be on the verge of exhaustion. The latest outbreak oc curred exactly 24 hours after the preced ing one. Although incendiarism in every case has been found to be the cause, the guilty person or persons have so suc cessfully covered up their tracks that both police and fire authorities confess them selves completely baffled. The hunt for the Incendiary is rendered difficult because the fires persist in breaking out in altogether different parts of the town. As soon as the attention of the police Is turned in one direction, a lire breaks out in some place miles away. Rebuilds Milk Condenser. NRWBERG, Or.. March 2S. (Special.) C. D.

Then- Return Stock Seized Under Dwrees in Trespass Cases Brought by Huntsmen. ' DUBLIN, March 28. (Special.) An extraordinary .affair has been reported to the police at Birr. Some time ago Major Cradock, master of the Ormond foxhounds, obtained decrees agralnst a number of farmers, who trespassed on his lands recently, when hundreds of men collected and stopped the hunt, be cause they objected to come persons taking; part in it who held land on the 11-months' system. Nothing has been paid since the decrees were obtained, and last Thursday the Sheriff seized IS head of cattle and a horse from the defendants, and the - animals were driven to the Sheriffs yard at Birr, where a Bailiff was put in charge of them. They were to have been sold by Sher iff's auction this week, but mysterious ly disappeared, and no trace of them could be found. Extra police were summoned, and Constables, on bicycles were sent along: the various roads leading from the town to trace the cat tle. Meantime people from .the country around began to arrive in Birr. A body of Leaguers arrived first with a band. They were led by a . man in the garb of a huntsman, who wore -upon one of his arms a crepe, to signify that the hunt was dead. Throughout the day the people continued to pour in, until several thousand had arrived. - Extra policemen were drafted into the town, as the authorities feared-that disturb ances would take place. Later the missing cattle were dis covered, and the Sheriff's sale took place of four lots, which were bought in by the owners at the full amount of the decrees and expenses. Two de fendants had cattle so identically alike that the Sheriff and Bailiffs could not identify them. The owners -refused to solve the difficulty, and after a long wrangle, the Sheriff adjourned the sale of, these sine die. stating that he would hold the animals at the - owner's ex pense. The same evening-the ' 'decrees In these two instances were also paid, and the cattle released. A procession was formed, and the stock ornamented with ribbons. The drivers wore green sasnes and hatbands, and escorted them home. LIBERTY IS SHORT-LIVED French 'Convict Makes Mistake in Returning to Paris. PARIS, March 28. (Special.) In a motor-omnibus in the Boulevard des Itai ienes a curious little drama was enacted yesterday before the passengers. A well dressed man, wearing a silk hat and a coat trimmed with astrachan, entered the omnibus and was immediately followed by .a less well-dressed individual, who sat opposite him and stared hard. After a little of this, the first man seemed em barrassed and rose to leave; but the other jumped up and said: "Stay, Is not your name Etienne Sag nard, age S8, who was sentenced three years ago by the Rhone Assizes to ten years' penal servitude, and have you not recently escaped from the penal settle ment in French Guiana?" The other man turned- very white and uttered a pro test But the interrogator produced his card, "'Inspector Mornet, of the Criminal In vestigation -Department," and a pair of handcuffs, and the two got out together. CALE DOESN'T LIKE JOB Finds Congressional Delegate Isn't 60 Much and Will Quit, OREGONIAN NEWS BURBAX, Wash ington, March 26. The Honorable Thomas Cale, delegate in Congress from the terri tory of Alaska, has the happy faculty of knowing when he has had enough., Two years in Congress is all he can stand. The job is not to his liking and he intends to quit. He is not a candidate for re-election, and has so stated in plain terms. Mr. Cale has made the discovery that has been made by hundreds of men before him, but a discovery which few will dis cuss; namely, that a member of Congress isn't such an awful big fellow, after all. He is big to his people at home; but when he comes to Washington he is a pigmy; one of many. The Job seldom measures up to expectations, and Mr. Cale is one of the few who is frank enough to voice his disappointment and get out. The job of delegate from a territory is even less attractive than that of Con gressman. The Congressman can vote; the delegate cannot. He can talk; he can introduce bills; he is appointed on com mittees; he has seeds to distribute, and appointments to make, Just like the Con gressman, Dut he is deprived of the cov eted right of voting, even on the bills that affect his own country. That is one thing that made Cale sore. Another thing which disgusted him was the man ner In which Congress received his rec ommendations. He was disappointed that Congress could not enthuse over Alaska as he did. He was equally disappointed to find that even the President could not always agree with him, but sometimes preferred to side with Governor Hoggatt. All in all, the work was distasteful; Cale found he had acquired a gold brick, so he decided! to quit the job. He has con cluded that it is easier to dig gold in Alaska than to dig gold in Congress. Tom Cale, whatever else may be said of him, is not afraid to throw down a job that is distasteful; he doesn't propose to make a martyr of himself Just because he got fooled in the first instance.
