PRESIDENT ATTENDS
Rumored That MichjicI Czolgosz,
Brother of Mnrtyrd President's
Assassin, Would Attend 0
Canton, Ohio, May 29. The body
of Ida Saxton McKinley tonight rests
beside that of her distinguished hus
band In West Lawn Cemetery. Her
last words, "Oh, God, why should I
longer wait? Let me He beside
him," have been answered. The
funeral services at the old-fashioned
McKinley home were extremely sim
ple. Four songs were sung, the
same that were sung at the funeral
of President McKinley, and the ser
vices were a simple ritual of the
Methodist church. The house was
roped off to restrain the crowds
which thronged the neighboring
thoroughfares. It was not until the
funeral services "were actually per
formed that the streets became
crowded. President Roosevelt ar
rived at 12:45 p. m., and was driven
immediately to the residence of Jus
tice Day for luncheon. Among oth
ers at the table were Secretaries
Root, Cortelyou and Wilson, Gover
nor Harris, and Former Governor
Hertrick.
Immediately after lunch the
President and partywent to the Mc-
; KInley home. The body In Us black
casket rested In Its flower embow
ered place In the so-called "Cam-
palkn office, " In the same place
; where President McKinley's body
lay. Roses, which had been Mrs.
McKinley's favored flower, filled the
room, while many more for which
there was not room for In the house
were sent to the cemetery. The
President, Surgeon-General Rixey
and Secretaries Wilson and Root oc
cupied seats in the parlor, and rela
tives and friends were seated In the
hall and In the adjoining room.
While the services were being con
ducted by Rev. Buxton of the First
Methodist church and Rev.' Holmes,
all business In Canton 'stopped. Re-
tall stores, schools and places of
amusement in the city and country
surrounding were closed and street
cars in the vicinity of the ,McKlnley
home did not run. All along the
route to the cemetery flags were at
half-mast and men and women in
sombre garb lined the way. When
the services at the cemetery were
over, the Presidential party returned
to the Baltimore station, where the
4:35 train to Indianapolis was taken.
Despite the rumors that Michael
Czolgosz, brother of McKinley's as
sassin, would be in Canton today,
the funeral and contingent visit of
the President passed off without a
serious incident. The local police
and secret service men from Wash-
, lngton were in constant watch during
the President's stay, but no trace
was found of Czolgosz, nor any anar-
j,chlst, although all strangers were
sheld in Jail until they left.
VESSEL WITH EPIDEMIC
Reported That Bont nas Left San
Francisco und Is Coining
North I'p Coast.
It was reported yesterday that
word from San Francisco had been
received to the effect that a vessel
bound for Coos Bay had an epidemic
aboard and that the local authorities
had been notified to quarantine the
vessel, or send her on to Astoria to
be fumigated. The vessel did not
arrive yesterday, and as she Is re-
r ported to have left San Francisco on
the 24th it may be she has changed
her course and will not enter Coos
Bay.
She will not be allowed to remain
here, and no fear need be manifested
as a result of her coming. The
(name (of the. vessel could not be
learned. Local authorities would
'state nothing when seen last eight.

ELEVEN BUILDINGS
Will Form Senii-Circlc and Each Will
Be 200 Feet Long Mnnj Con
veniences. Salem, Ore., May 29. Times are
very lively just now at the Fair xjtty.
The clang of hammers, the buzz of
saws and the smoke from the em
bers of burning rubbish announce
the approach of Oregon's 1907 ex
hibit. The State will bring her fair
est gifts and trophies to Salem this
year and the present Indications are
that this effort will be the greatest
In her history. Secretary Welsh,
speaking yesterday said, "There Is
being more Interest shown at pres
ent in the fair than has been in any
past year in May, and if the weather
Is favorable the exhibit of 1907 will
doubtless be a record breaker." The
new stock barns are being rapidly
and substantially put together and
soon will assume the appearance of a
village. Three of the horse barns
are raised and sided and the roofs
Yire being placed on two of them.
There will be eleven buildings In all
and will all be 200 feet long and will
range in width from 3G to 50 feet.
They will face a semi-circle, which
space will be used as an exhibit
arena. The barns are made so that
a wagon can be driven through them,
which will facilitate the feeding of
stock as well as the comfort of those
handling the animals. At either
side -of the barns half way of their
length doors are placed, so that a
track may be constructed through the
buildings, and with a small cost of
roofing from the side of one barn to
the other a course will be obtained
which can be used for training dur
ing wet weather. The auction build
ing, which formerly stood near the
band stand east of the pavilion, has
been moved to the north fence of
the grounds and will be used as a
goat barn. All the new bulldlng3
will bo well ventilated, water pro
vided at convenient places, and ex
cellently lighted. A great saving has
been made in the construction work
as much of the old lumber that was
In the sheds torn down was used for
sheeting and inside work of the new
buildings. The work of tearing
down the old sheds and assorting the
lumber was largely done by convict
labor. This has been found not to
interfere with skilled labor In the
least, as the convicts merely prepare
the old lumber and do work In clean
ing up the grounds. The stands
which formerly occupied a space just
north of the pavilion have been
moved and the grounds In this sec
tion will he .beautified by walks,
flower plots and shrubbery. The
poultry building will be moved a few
yards east from its present position
and will occupy the center of the
opening to the exhibit arena with a
street running on either side. The
work of improvement and building
is a necessity to the growing needs
of the Oregon State Fair and is being
done in a systematic and economical
manner.

VISITS MARSHFIELD
J. II. Ackerw.ii, State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, Will
Review Work of Pupils.
J. H. Ackerman, State Superin
tendent of Instruction, came to
Marshfield yesterday forenoon from
Coqullla, and after having lunlh
here was taken to North Bend In a
special launch by A. G. Raub, prin
cipal of the North Bend school. The
afternoon was spent by Mr. Acker
man In visiting the school. It was
feared for a time that Mr. Acker
man would not get a chance to visit
the Marshfield school, as he Is trav
eling with Attorney General Craw
ford, but Mr. Crawford has consent
ed to wait two days before continu
ing his journey.
, Mr. Ackerman will spend Friday
in visiting the Marshfield school, the
forenoon to bo given to reviewing
the actual work of the pupils and
the afternoon to be devoted to lis
tening to a program in which each
grade will be represented. This

man was to visit the school It has
been postponed until Friday.
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
Makes Midnight Visit to Marshfield
House, Knocks, Smashes Door
Pune, Disappears.
Peculiar mystery surrounds the
actions of a party, supposedly a
woman, who attempted to enter the
home of G. W. Bohlen late last
night. Mr. Bohlen lives In the resi
dence at the rear of the Times build
ing. He was awakened by some one
knocking on his fionl door about
11:15. Shortly after the glass In
the door crashed in. Mr. Bohlen
opened a door on the second floor
.nnd asked the woman what she
uncled. The patty tlated she want
ed to get in, and on being aBked why
turned around and walked away.
The woman was tall and had a
white shawl or fascinator thrown
over her head. The entire family
was wrought up over the Incident
and Mr. Bohlen's son hurriedly
dressed and went in search of the
glass breaker.

CANAL FOR EUGENE
Require 35 Miles of Dredging nncl
Estimated to Cost a Total
Of $525,520.
Eugene, Or., At a mass meeting
of citizens held here Saturday after
noon, the report of the committee ap
pointed at a similar meeting April 27,
to Investigate the probable cost of a
oavigating canal between Eugene and
Corvallls was read. The committee
discouraged the Idea of building the
canal on account of the excessive
cost.
The committee reported that the
"cost of excavating alone would be
$12,G72 per mile. This would not
Include the first mile after leaving
the river, as that would cost four
times as much, or about $50,000, on
account of the great depth it would
be necessary to go and the building
of concrete walls. About eight
locks would be necessary, which If
built of wood and stone, would cost
about $4,000 each.
Figuring on a basis of !!5 miles,
the total cost would be $525,520.
These figures are below the en
gineers' estimates and do not con
template anything but level ground
and the waterway being dry under
the most favorable circumstances, no
flumes to be built and no rocks to be
blasted out. The committeo points
out the fact that these conditions
could not possibly obtain, therefore
the cost of the canal would be much
greater than the estimate made.
The report was accepted and the
matter will probably be at once
dropped, although there are some en
thusiasts who believe the figures are
wrong and are In favor of going
ahead with the project. These are
In the vast minority, however. Tele
gram. ADJUST LOCAL RATES
Railroad Commission Will Meet In
Murshfleld 011 June 15 for
Hearing of Complaint.
The Railroad Commission will be
In Marshfield June 15 for the purpose
of hearing evidence on the local
freight rates of the Coos Bay, Rose
burg & Eastern Railroad on the com
plaint lodged by the Davis-Shultz
Grocery Company, of North Bend.
The hearing was to have been on
June 5, but in accordance with a re
quest from the railroad company It
was postponed until June 15. It Is
stated on competent authority that
the rates between Portland and Coos
Bay and Coos Bay and the Inland
towns will be adjusted so that there
will be no discrimination on rates
In favor of Portland shippers. It Is
said that the same local rate will
prevail, but that a proportionate
advance will be made on the pres
ent Portland rate.
Among the many launch ride pic
nics that will be given today will be
one to Charleston Bay on the launch
Qasgo. The launch will leave Marsh
fleldfield at 6 o'clock this morning
and will be gone the entire day,
Conclusive Proof Is Advanced To
Establish Sex of De Raylan
Who Masqueraded As Female
WIFE LOSES ESTATE
It Is Thought Tlint Property Con
ssting of $12,000 In Hank Will
Phoenix, Ariz., Mily 29. After an
Investigation that lasted until mid
night, Attorney Schacffer, represent
ing the "widow" of Nicolni De Ray
lan, this morning' abandoned his ef
forts to clear up the mystery of the
alleged substitution of bodies and
stipulated that the proceedings
brought by his client In Chicago
seeking a widow's rights in the Do
Raylan estate shall be abandoned.
The Identification of the body of the
dead woman who had masqueraded
as a man, as consular agent De Ray
lan of Chicago, Is absolute.
De Raylan's remains are to be re
Interred at Phoenix. Baron Schllp
penbach, Russian consul, states that
efforts are being made to find her
relatives In Russia, but It is an even
possibility that the estate will go to
the State of Illinois. It amounts to
$12,000, mainly cash in bank. The
theory that De Raylan was a NlhllUt
Is ridiculed.
Evldenco Introduced shows De
ltnylan was not on good terms with
the woman whom she was married to
and efforts have been" made at Phoe
nix to place all the funds nnd papers
out of the Chicago's woman's right.
As De Raylan's naturalization is
voided by her sex, she is now held
to be a Russian subject until her
death came.
