FEDERATED TRADES DEAL
DEATH BLOW TO THE FAIR
All Work On Proposed Exposition Or

clared Permanent.
Until State Appropriation Matter Is Settled By Refer
endem Vote All Operations Will Cease-Loo&s
: LIKe There Is Going to Be No 1905 Eair.
Portland, May 2. (Spetlnl dispatch to The Aslorlan.) The Lewi
and Clark fair board, lute this afternoon, formally ratified the action of
the committee on bluldlngs nd g rounds. Tills was to stop nil work
of preparation and nil expenditure of money, pending tli determina
tion ot the referendum matter. If the state appropriation shall be de
feated on the referendum vote, then the suspension of work ordede today
will be made permanent.
In declaring It purpose to defial by referendum vote, if possible,
the stale appropriation of 1500,000 for the Lewis and Clark exposition
of Jj the Federated Trades Assembly of Portland has dealt a hat now
appear to be a death blow to the fair project.
Portland. May 2. The Important de
velopment of today has been brought
abotit by the declared purpose' of the
unions at last night's meeting of the
Federated Trades council to defeat If
possible the proioeed Lewis and Clark
exposition for IMS. In the adopted
resolution In whlNi this purpose Is de
clared, and embodying the reasons for
such action, high rents claimed to re
sult from the fair proposition and a re
fusol at the same time on the part of
employers to advance wages I the
main grievance.
The groond for the action on the part
of th exposition directors' Is that un
der th Htvunmtnnces, they wouM have
no rlirht to expend the money which
has been collected from private sub
scription unlens It was well known that
(he purposes for which that money had
betn offered would tie carried out. And

Chicago, May 2. M. Dhurmapalua,
who represented Tluddhists at the Chi
cago World' Parliament, of religions,
has arrived here from San Francisco
on an educational mission for the ben
ellt of the many millions of Illiterate
natives of India. He wears a flowing
silken robe of orange, and hi piear-
nnce excited considerable curiosity,
"My mission," he en Id, "has nothing
to do with religion. I have been uv
palled by the wretched condition of the
people of India, and have come to this
country to Interest merchant and cap
italists In a plan to establish a number
of manual training schools In India.
It Is not charity t ask, tor if the peo
ple of India are raised to a higher level
they will need many things which the
Industries of this country van supply."

California Masons Will Abolish JV'Ine
Drinking In Lodge Rooms.
San Francisco, May I. The grand
commandery of the Knights Templar ot
California, has decided by a ununl
maus.vote that hereafter no wine shall
be served at Templar banquets. The
Innovation has been introduced, It Is
claimed, so that the order of this coast
might fall In line with a general move
ment i the same kind In the east, and
because the use of wine In the lodge
room Is contrary to the principles of
masonry. ,
It fas -ald that the grand lodge of
Musons at Its annual meeting Tiext Oc
tober will take the same decisive ac
tion and order that all banquets given
under the name of any Masonic lodge
of the state shall be strictly temperate.
