THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAND, MAT 1, 1910
24:
SOCIALISTS TO BE
PEACEFUL MAY DAY
Use of Plaza for Exercises Re
linquished and Speeches
to Be Elsewhere.
PARADE IS TO COME FIRST
Procession Through Streets Will
End at Seventh and Market,
: Where Oratory Will Be
Turned Loose.
The crowds which will probably as
semble' at the Plaza blocks this after
noon to witness a battle royal between
the police and the . Socialists are In
for a (rreat disappointment. Instead o
beings "innocent bystanders" in the cas
ualty list of a preneral riot, they will.
If the plans of the revolutionists work:
out, be benevolently assimilated afid
towed In the rear of the procession to
Seventh and Market streets, where So
cialist oratory will be filing to the
four winds throughout the afternoon.
Thus all probability of serious dis
turbance In Portland on this Interna
tional annual festival day of unrest IB
removed.
Some days ago representatives of the
Socialist body waited upon Park Su
perlntendent Mlsche and first request
ed and then aemanaea me u ui vita-p-man
Square, the park block reserved
Tor women and children, for the May
flay meeting. Upon being Informed
that such use of the block could not
be allowed, they announced that they
would be there anyway, and a very
strained situation seemed to be at hand.
More mature reflection, however,
brought a modification of the demands
of the agitators and conferences with
Mayor Simon and Chief of Police Cox
have resulted In an amicable settlement
of the difficulty.
The programme now is for the pro
fession to assemble at the corner of
Fixth and Davis streets, whence, pre
reded bv a band, the discontented will
pass through the principal streets 'to
the Plaza, taking advantage or tne
presence of the probable crowd assem
bled there In expectation of a collision
to swell their numbers, and will pro
teed directly from the Plaza to the
rorner of Seventh and Market, where
an open space has been placed at their
aisposal and where the music and ora
tory will be dispensed.
Pence Easily Attained.
"I had no trouble in reaching an
amicable understanding with the So
cialists when the objections to their
use of the Plaza, were made plain to
them." said Chief of Police Cox yester
Say. "The matter has been settled In
a way acceptable to all and there Is
no prospect of any trouble over it.
"The Chief of Police treated us fine
and we are entirely satisfied," said J.
P. Roy, a member of the May day
committee of the Socialist party,
""When the matter was explained to us
,wl ronlWn.l tViut nil hnrliPS. both
religious and political, are kept pff of
tliis block, we abandoned all idea of as
serting a claim to the right to use it.
and we appreciate the fact that it is
a good thing to keep meetings off the
Plaza where the women ana children
gather. We are law-ahiding citizens
and will not make trouble when we are
not discriminated against."
Outlook for Year Good.
Co-operating -with the Socialists in
the celebration of the great annual fes
tival of revolutionary bodies all over
the world, the Industrial "Workers of
the World will send a large contingent
to swell the procession. Leaders of
the bodies would make no estimates as
to the number of men that will be in
the line, but said that it would be
large. The festivities will be conclud
ed by a dance Sunday evening in the
hall of the Finnish Club, at Fremont
eLreet and Montana avenue.
May day, which is awaited with In
terest every year as the time for la
bor troubles, seems to hold, compara
tively little apprehension for Portland
this year. Practical ly all the labor
bodies have determined their action
for thtt coming 12 monthB and as
yet no strikes have been . planned. A
small cloud upon the horizon is the de
mand of the Journeymen plumbers for
a. raise from $r to rt per day, which
1ms been partially met by an offer
from the master plumbers of $5.50. per
ilay. Final decision Is,-set for Monday,
May 2. with the threat of a strike ad
vanced by the journeymen If their de
mand is not granted. Aside from this
the indications are for a peaceful year
between employers and their men in
this city.
Fries said last night he had purchased
the property for a third party, a local
investor who, wishing not to appear
in the deal, had requested that the
property be deeded to Mr. Fries and
held in trust by him.
The property is described as Block
74, City." It i occupied in part by
the sellers, while the remainder is held
under lease by two machinery houses.
The river frontage is under lease to
the Oregon City & Kellogg Transpor
tation Company. The property now
brings an income of $1000 a month and
it is said by Mr. Fries the property was
purchased as an investment in view of
its income bearing possibilities.
W. S. SMITH WAS PIONEER
Former Portland Man, Who Died
Last Week, Came Here In 1862. .
The body of W. S. Smith, one of
Portland's pioneers, was brought from
Oakland, Cal., this week and interred
in this city. For over 30 years he
lived in Portland and was engaged in
the contracting business with Robert
Porter. He was one of the organizers
of the First and Plymouth Con
gregational Churches at this place, and
was one of the best-known workers In
the state. .
His interest was by no means confined
to this work, but was equally alive to
the various things which helped and

benefited the community at large. Al
though of a retiring disposition, he
never lacked enthusiasm and gave lib
erally of both time and money to many
things.
Mr. Smith was born In Xewiston, Me.,
July 2, 1S19. In 1S59 he married Kath
erine Jane Morris, and In 1861 they
moved to California. The following
year they moved to this city, and lived
here until Mrs. Smith died, in Febru
ary, 1909. After that time Mr. Smith
lived with his daughter, Mrs. Kather
ine Saxton, of Oakland, Cal.
About six weeks ago he fell across
a bathtub and broke three ribs. De
spite the seriousness of the injury and
his advanced age, he was apparently on
the road to re vo very, when he over
exercised, and took a cold, which de
veloped into pneumonia and resulted
in his death last week. Prior to that
time he was a man of exceptional ro
bustness, and Ills family and friends
looked upon him as a man who might
pass the century milestone.
TRAVEL EAST VERY HEAVY
Many Take Advantage of Special
Round-Trip Kates.
Low rates quoted by the transconti
nental railroads to Eastern points ef
fective May 2, according to present
prospects, will draw a larger number
of travelers than any similar rates ever
given in the month of May.
At the O. R. & N-. offices the reserva
tions already exceed previous records,
and at the Great Northern all the pres
ent available sleeping-car accommoda
tions have been reserved. The North
ern Pacific reports an unusually large
number of sales of tickets.
The round-trip rate quoted for May
2 to Chicago is $72.50; to Missouri River
points JSQ, and to St. Louis $67.50.

We'll do the rest.
TEN YEARS IX PORTLAND AD THE- LARGEST PRACTICE IN
THE PACIFIC KORTHWKST.
The one gTeat cause of most eye diseases is Eye Strain.
Diseases of the eye which cause blindness are caused by im
perfect circulation of blood in and around the eye.
This poor circulation can nearly always be traced to over
use or strain of eyes by using them under improper con
ditions. The eyes of thousands of school children aTe. weakened
and ruined by insufficient light or by having it come from a
wrong direction. - ' .'
The strain thus produced causes an irritation and con
gestion of the delicate nerves and muscles of the eye and an
imperfect blood supply results.
A general weakness of all the nerves and muscles of the
eye is the result of this imperfect blood supply, and the cir
culation may be cut off entirely from certain parts.
If from the Optic Nerve, the result is paralysis, either
partial or complete. If from the lens of the eye, Cataract
results.
Any other eye disease may result from a like cause, ac
cording to the part affected.
An injury will act in the same way by interfering with the
natural circulation.
When you consider, the intricate mechanism of this deli
cate organ, with its numerous muscles, nerves and blood ves
sels, you realize how easily its usefulneSs may become impaired.
We make a vieelal nludy of the art of flttlnjqr jcla4e and ansiime
entire reBponftlblllty, not only for the correctness of the lens, but also
for the accuracy of the prescription. Onr work combines that of both
oculist and optician, so far as the prescribing and fitting of glasses
are concerned.

GARBAGE COLLECTION".
IN
Head of Board of Health Makes
Recommendation for Strict
Ordinance for City.
Every householder in Portland will
have to provide a galvanized iron
covered can for the use of scavengers
and will have to patronize these men
liberally if the City Council passes an
ordinance recommended to the Board
of Health by Superintendent Napier, of
the garbage crematory. His report was
filed with the City Auditor yesterday
afternoon and will be laid before the
Board tomorrow morning.
Mayor Simon saia. when asked for
his opinion, that he had not had time
to give the proper atXention to the
recommendation of Superintendent Na
pier, and was not ready to 'give a state
ment. Thousands of families every
one in Portland will be affected by
the ordinance, if it finds favor with
the Council. It will have to pass mus
ter before the Board of Health first.
Superintendent Napier says that he
has in mind a system of municipal
garbage collection, in making this
recommendation. He believes the re
ceptacles necessary for the preserva
tion of the public health, he states in
his report to the Board, as open cans
or barrels ire constant breeders of flies
and create nuisances all over the city,
disease following in TTietr wake.
The garbage-collection plan is one of
the greatest problems Before the city,
but whether this is the best means of
settling it is the question. At present
there Is no methodical manner of cart
ing away refuse from the residences,
the work all being done by the scaven
gers by private arrangement with
householders and they fix the charges
to suit themselves. Each has a dis
trict that he works Tn, according to
agreement with his fellows, and the
city has nothing to say as to how this
shall be done, except as to where it
shall be placed when hauled to the In
cinerating plant on Guild's Lake.
The system in vogue at present Is
deplorable, as is acknowledged by the
omciais or the city, and some modern
method is sought, particularly In view
of the fact that the new burner will
be ready for use during the Summer.

NOT GUILTY, SAYS TENIMANT
Ex-Policeman Changes Flea to In
dictment on Statutory Charge.
C. A. Tennant, who recently . pleaded
guilty to an indictment on a statutory
charge, changed his plea to not guilty
before Judge Morrow yesterday. There
are two indictments against Tennant, re
sulting from his leaving his wife to to
with "Bobbie" Pulliam, a North End
resident, to Spokane. It had been ar
ranged with Tennant. it Is understood,
by the District Attorney's office, that if
he pleaded guilty on one charge, the other
against him would be dismissed- He
will now be compelled to answer to the
two indictments.
Tennant was formerly a lnen-.ber of the
Portland Police Department, and before
his arrest was the head of a private de
tective bureau in this city.
The question of whether the Pulliam
woman, who was indicted with Tennant,
can legaJly be tried for adultery under
the present laws, is now being considered
by Judge Morrow.
