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. As she has rolled and
kicked in her incubator, she has devel
oped, and with the development of her
body came the development of her lung
power. 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

The I-ote Conrad C. Ki-hott. of Olex.

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

where he engaged in mining for"
a few years, thence going to Cor

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

Ambassador. An interesting feature
will bo the formation of a committee
of representative women, and the gen

to raise $100,000 as a nucleus of the
fund for working expenses. It Is un

ordinances are violated.
In connection with the matter of
safety of the public schools a commit

dangerous features in that building.

'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;

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.

IRISH FARMERS TAKE PROP
ERTY FROM SHERIFF.
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.
