ST ANXE SH.VXXOX MONROE.
TNS1DIS INN. Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition. ian Francisco, Cal.,
March 20. Any tune, so it's Irish: any
color, so it's green, ffemed to be the
slogan for tit. Patrick's day as you
steDDed along briskly to Irish airs.
Kv-ervone wore a badge of emerald, for
even the fireworks in the evening took
& ereen hue.
Anyone who lias not so far seen the
exposition city s mgnt illuminations,
and fireworks has a lot to live for. The
13 searchlights on the waterfront be-
ein to Dlav. a man 111 control or earn
one. and a director to Rive commands.
They play this way and that, in rota
tion, all together, now blazing a red
sheet of glory across the night sky.
now orange, now all the colors at once,
now pivoting about in a regular waltz
of color madness.
Amidst these gorgeous stunts sky
rockets are shot high into the heavens
to exdode in stars and streamers, thou
iands at one time. Against all this
i-tar-and-streamer glory the lights play,
making their trails through the say
many hued and vivid as lightning.
Locomotive Aids in Display.
A regulation locomotive, painted buff,
sends up the most terrific volumes of
team. The light clay creates a most
wonderful effect when this steam has
been forced through pin wheels ana all
sorts of simple apparatus that sends it
whirling in hundreds or shapes.
When I tell you that about every
other color Wednesday was green, in
honor of St. Patrick.1 you. can imagine
the enthusiasm, especially as the band
was playing in the Court of the Uni
verse "The Wearira' o' the Green." Cer
tainly the world seemed Irish that day,
and it all came to the exposition.
Before the New Zealand building,
dancing their own native sterl a group
of native girls and men esported with
bushed hair, rings in ears and noses
and wearing little else in the way of
adornment. It was a truly barbaric
scene, and we all felt that we were
seeing a bit of primitive life in the
raw. straight from the jungles of our
Pacific Isles. When the dance ended
una as their auto started they struck
up "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" in
beautiful English. Many of these
young women, I learned afterward, are
excellently educated. V'ou should have
teen the look on the faces of the be
holders. Surprised? Yes, but just a
wee bit disappointed.
John J. Barrett, in his big speech
yesterday, said: "The exposition is a
captive sunset which magic hands cap
tured from California's sky and an
chored at tho Golden Gate."
Oregon Exhibit Bring Pleasure
Tom Richardson, from Portland, has
been shedding sunshine of a kind that
rivals California's skies about the Ore
gon building today. He was perfectly-
happy over Oregon at the fair and made
the Oregon contingent happier by say
ing it couldn't be painted in too high
colors: that is. the exposition in gen
eral and the Oregon building in par
ticular. Allen Eaton, of Kugene, who is di
recting Oregon's art exhibit, arrived a
few days ago and is busy getting Ore
gon artists, painters writers, poets
nnd workers in all the artistic crafts
properly represented.
A company of ISO engineers from
Vancouver Barracks arrived yesterday
to add color to the grounds. It is a fine
sight to see the marines from the
Presidio drilling, and a sight that
always attracts spectators.
It is a different thing to get to the
Oregon register, but I raptured it long
enough today to find that many Ore
gonians are steadily doing the fair,
and many representatives from all over
the country are visiting the Oregon
building. Prom the "remarks" that fol
low many of the names, their visit Is
going to, do Oregon good. I copied
these in the time I had: "Wonderful."
"stupendous," "magnificent," fine,"
"best state of all." "unique." "very
fine," "wonderful building." "the state
1o tie to.'' "novel and artistic." "Oregon
for mine," "some class." "some speed,"
"Oregon first always," "Oregon for
ever," "best ever." "always true to
Oregon." 'Tine exhibit." "Oregon has
done herself proufr." "raised in good
old Oregon.'' "a grand success." "great
marvel real proud of it." "exhibits are
wonderful." "leavo - it to Oregon to
show them how to raise corn," "none

rXPIANAPOLIS, March 20. A record
for voting of 22 times in one day
was claimed by Fred Eisner, who testi
fied today in the trial of the Terre

already." Eisner and others who to

have pleaded guilty, testltled that ne

to report on election morning at police
headquarters, where Chief of Police

man for a horse and buggy.
Then, they said, they received a list
of voting places and cards bearing
names and registration numbers which
they were to vote from E. E. Talbott,
City Controller and a defendant. At

No Business, Says President of Co

DALLAS, Tex., March 20. A Govern
ment inquiry into agricultural condi
tions in the Southwest ended here to
day, after five days taking testimony
by the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations.
Testimony concerning the Taft
ranch In Texas, regarding land tenants,
alleged to be victims of an expensive
middleman system between the farmer
and his market, was taken at the clos
ing session.
Joseph H. Green, of Gregory, Tex.,
general manager lor the Taft interests
in Texas, testified that the . company
has 20 stockholders and Jhe stock is
worth abont $250 a share. Tenants
and laborers on the farm, he said, were
mostly Mexicans, with a few Amer
icans. Americana Boy Own Karma.
More than half the American farm
ers who have been on this place In
the last dozen years, he said, have
bought their own farms. Of the Mex
icans, two had bought farms. He eaid
the company had notified alt em
ployers they would be discharged if
they became candidates for any polit
ical office in the county.
Professor Charles II. Alvord, of
Gregory, superintendent of the farm,
testified he had known of only one
American farmer who permitted his
wife to work in cotton fields. Mex
ican women and youths of both sexes
worked in the fields, but seldom young
Mexican children. He said Mexican
laborers on the place received 80 cents
a day, against $1 a day last year.
Mexican boys begin earning the full
wage at about 14. Most of the labor,
he said, was Mexican.
"Why don't you employ other labor?"
asked Chairman Walsh, of the Com
mission. "There is not enough In the country,"
replied Professor Alvord.
Dale Walker, of Gregory, a cotton
ginner, was asked whether he had any
complaint to make about competition
from the Taft Oil & Oin Company. He
replied that it was difficult for him to
compete in poor crop years, because the
cotton from the corporation s farm all
went to the Taft gin, while it was hard
for him to get enough outside cotton.
He said the farm corporation controlled
the fresh water supply, and that in 1913
the price he had to Vay for this water
made it too expensive for boiler use,
and that he was using salt water.
W. L. Lewis, president of the Texas
Farmers' Educational and Co-operative
Union, eaid that farm land values and
rents had been rising, while farmers'
profits had remained stationary or de
clined, an impossible economic condi
tion. Interest Rates Too High.
Referring to testimony throughout
the five days that farmers pay at least
10 per cent for money, he said no busi
ness could run successfully under such
an expense.
Replying to a question, he denied
that funds for support of the union
have been contributed by the Texas
Commercial Secretaries' Association.
Commissioner Walsh announced that
many valuable suggestions had been
received by mail during the hearing;
that they would be considered with the
other records, and that the Commission
would be pleased to have further sug
gestions mailed to the field headquar
ters at Chicago.

LISTER VETOES 4 BILLS
HOIKS OF LABOR AND DRl'GLESS
DOCTORS MEASURES KILLED.
Washington Governor Says I5Icht Hours
of Honest Public Work Is Knoogh.
Special Interests Turned Down.
OLYMPTA. Wash., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Vetoing the hours of labor and
drug less doctors bills, two ef the
measures arousing the sharpest fights
Tn the Washington Legislature, vetoing
two other measures and signing two,
Governor Lister tonight had cleared
away all but nine of the 200-odd bills
left by the 14th session.
The labor bill originally was intro
duced to repeal the eight-hour public
works law, which has been on the
statute books of Washington 14 years.
It aroused bitter opposition of or
ganized labor and as finally passed,
still over labor protests, was amended
to .extend the hours of labor on road
and bridge work only to ten hours.
In his veto message Governor Lister
stated he could see no reason for es
tablishing a ten-hour day on one class
of public work and eight hours on
others, adding that it would be better
to repeal the eight-hour law than to
make exceptions for special interests.
Personally he said, he believed the
principle of eight hours' honest public
work should be maintained.
The drugless doctors' bill proposed to
admit mechano therapists, suggestive
therapists, chiropractors, naturopaths
and followers of like cults to practice
upon passing a special examination to
be given by a ooara ot "arugiess ex
aminers."
In vetoing this bill, which had
aroused sharp opposition from physi
clans of the regular schools. Governor
Lister said he felt it would make Wash
ington "the home of ill-trained and
incompetent practitioners," who might
fail to recognize dangerous contagious
diseases and suggested that if the Leg.
islature deemed It advisable to license
the new schools to practice, granting
of licenses should be left in charge
of the existing board of medical ex
aminers with possible amendment of
the present law to allow the new
schools a representative on this board.
