ings of the Mormon church, refuses to
speak In behalf of the apostle, either
. favorably or otherwise. ' lie declares
that he will notfbe drawn Into the fight
' which Is being waged against the hus
band Of his sister.
! Seventeen . years ago Senator Smoot,
against whose seat In congress a vio
lent protest haa been raised throughout
tha country, was married to Miss Alpha
M. Eldredge, daughter of a plural wife
of Horace S. Eld red se, a wealthy Mor-
mon pioneer." SLR. Eldredge, sales
agent for the American Steel & Wire
company, Ninth and Irvine streets, is
' a son of the Mormon Immigrant and a
brother-in-law of the senator-apoatle,
whM Alwtfnn has hn th fana ftf
world-wide notoriety for him and for
his church. Mr.' Eldredge's relatlon
- ship to the Mormon senaior has been
known Ho only a few intimate friends
In this city. , .
"I positively refuse, to discuss the
Smoot matter." said Mr. Eldredge at
.' his office yesterday. ' "I will not .be
drawn Into the ; contention, even if
Smoot is a brother-in-law of mine. The
case is not my affair, and I am not ac-,
nuatnted with the facta. My. interests
are. purely business and not in any way
political. I have nothing whatever to
say In regard to the wrangle. . In fact,
I know very little about it except what
I read In the newspapers."
Other Mormons lnthe city freely dis-j
curs the situation . and are bitter In
their denunciations f the societies and
associations . which inaugurated the
fight against the senator. Most of the

CHURCH CHORUS IN
GOLDEN LEGEND
The Golden Legend," Sullivan's
dramatic cantata, will be given Tues
day evening, March 15, at the Congrega
tional church, under the direction of W,
H. Boyer. This work was given last
year and -it is by repeated requests that
It la included in this season's repertoire.
As a composition "The Golden Legend"
is unique in its class, being undoubtedly
the greatest of .Sullivan's choral works.
The orchestration Is rich in color and
dramatically appropriate In the accom
paniment to the various characters.
Among the beautiful choruses are two
unaccompanied onea ."O ' Gladsome
Light" and "Pure In Heart," also the
"Christ Elelson," with soprano solo and
obligate, which scored such a success
last year. The solo parts are full of
melody and are In good hands. Mrs.
Schuab's voice Is peculiarly adapted to
the tenderness and sweetness of the
soprano part, and Mr. Montgomery's
delineation of the part of Lucifer was
one of his most signal successes.
The efficient work of the chorus under
Mr. Boyer's direction Is well known and
It Is safe to predict another triumph
An augmented orchestra has been in re
hearsal for some time and will complete
the artistic rendition by its interpreta
tion of the difficult score.
The reserved seats are . on sale at
Woodard, Clarke A Co.'s store and gen
eral .admission tickets may be obtained
at the same place or . at the church
Tuesday evening. ,
HAPPY JACK LUCK
IS OF STONY SORT
"It takes a . Happy Jack for hard
luck,' and F. F. Potter shook, his bead.
Mr, Potter had been relating mining
stories. He is from Roelyn and knows
the ways of those who dig, and his
friends in the corridors of the Perkins
hotel knew that a "good one" was com
ing. .
"A man named Evans," said Mr- Pot
ter, conducted a saloon at Roslyn a
number of years ago. Unfortunately
Evans got into trouble with a Welchman
one afternoon and the result was that
the saloon man. was perforated with a
bullet Tha hot-headed miners saw the
quarrel and when the shot was fired ob
served. Evans fall to the floor. They
presumed he was dead and it was a
chance to lynch someone. The result
was the Welcnman was taken out and
inside of IS minutes his lifeless body
was dangling from tha rafters in an old
engine house.
"But Evans got well. Today he is
running a saloon at Tenino."

' CESS HEBE B3S TOST VISIT TO
TKB COAST XiODOES.
Sitting Supreme Past Regent Joseph
A. Langfltt. of the Royal Arcanum, ar
rived in the city this morning from
San Francisco on n official visit to the
new councils of the order which have re
cently been organized in Portland. Mr.
Langfltt lives in Pittsburg, where he is
a prominent attorney end president of
a large banking house.
Among those who welcomed Mr, Lang
fltt to the city was Attorney George W.
Hasen, past regent of Multnomah coun
cil, who is also from Pittsburg. Mr.
.
r..sA,?'
M,
JOSEPH A. LANGFITT.
Hazen and Mr.' Langfltt were boyhood
friends and entered the practice of law
together. It was their first meeting
for years, and many reminiscences of
their early lives were recalled.
This evening a musicals and recep
tion will be tendered Mr. Langfltt at the
Empire theatre, which will be attended
by members of the order and their
friends. Tomorrow evening a reception
will be given in honor of the distin
guished guest at the Auditorium hall,
at which only members of the order are
expected to be present.
It is the first time that the highest
official of the Royal Arcanum ever vis
ited the city, and this Is Mr. Langfltt's
first trip to the coast. Local members
of the order believe. that, his visit will
have a stimulating effect upon the mem
bers, and will also be the means of
largely Increasing the present membership.
The object of Mr. Langfltt's vUlt is to
install officers of the grand councils.
While in California he visited Los An
geles, Ban, Francisco and Santa Monica,
Where installations were held. At San
Francisco all the councils assembled In
Joint session to participate in the exercises.
While In the city Mr. Langfltt will be
entertained .by prominent members of
the order and will be taken to the vari
ous points of interest in the city. Thi
Lewis and Clark fair grounds will be
visited and efforts will be made to en
list his. Interest in the Fraternal build
ing which Is to be erected.
"It is my first visit to the coast"
Mr. Langfltt said th'li morning, '2ut the
condition of the Royal Arcanum is thor
oughly satisfactory. Its membership in
the places I have visited includes a
class of men of whom we are proud,
representative men who have standing
in their communities.
"In Oregon. I understand, we have
something over 800 members, while In
Portland there are between 400 and 600.
It has not been the policy of the local
councils to seek strength numerically,
but rather to solicit only men of merit
and stability."
On Wednesday Mr. Langfltt will leave
the city for point in Washington,
where he will Install officers in councils
in that state.. The following program
will be rendered at the musicale In his
honor at the Empire theatre this evening:

CUTS ESTIMATE
FOR F1REB0AT
Just half the amount estimated for
the erection nf the Are boat's home at
the foot of East Washington street will
be allowed by the city council. Archi
tect Fred A. Ballin submitted plans
Saturday afternoon,, making the cost
1 12,000, snd the council committee cut
It down to $6,000. The plans Included
the building of a dock, a house for
the firemen and two wide driveways,
leading one to a dock for low and the
other to one for high water: ' These
the council committee could see no use
for, and decided one driveway would
be sufficient. The driveways were
planned to be 80 feet wide, but the com
mute cut the width to 18 feet
The council committee decided to ap
proprlate $6,000 for the fire boat head
quarters, and to let the executive board
use it as the members may see fit
Mayor Williams and the fire committee
of the board agreed with the council
committee In cutting down the amount
LOSES HOME AND

The home of Charles Burghard, at
Woodstock, was totally destroyed by

Burghard were left penniless, and the
flames destroyed nearly - all of their
clothing. A collection was taken
among the neighbors and $60 given for
the benefit or tn nr sufferers.

Members of the Master Builders' as.
soclation, headed by E. Kroner and
President J. B. Bridges, called upon the
state commission of the Lewis and Clark
fair Saturday and asked that cer
tain articles of the building specifications
b modified. President Jefferson Myers
of th commission and Chairman J. H.
Albert of the building committee in
formed the committee that th matter
was out of the commission's hands and
that the commissioners had power only
to accept or reject the building Aoeciflca
tions and plans submitted by the fair
corporation.
."W cams itijr,". : said Mr. - Kroner,
when the commission gave us no fur
ther attention believing our mission fu
tile.' Mr. Kroner said: ;
"Th specifications provide that ths
superintendent of construction shall be
ths sole person to interpret th Intent
and meaning of all specifications and
drawings. The 'master builders desire
that all matters in question should be
left to a board of arbitration.
"In case anyi changes or additions ere
thought necessary after the contracts is
awarded the building regulations pro
vide that the superintendent may order
the contractor to make th alterations.
This is unreasonable. -
"Th regulations provias tnat con
tractors must file all receipts for pay
ments in full before drawing money
from th f airland then receive but 10
per cent of the money du the con
tractor. If a contractor is backed by
his bondsmen that should be sufficient
Another provision is that a bond for
$30,000 shall be filed to bid on all build
ings at once. We desire that th con
tracts be let a few days apart tor ths
different buildings so as to glv every
body a chance."
"W have had no agreeable under
standing with th Lewis and Clark fair
committee," said A. Mclnnls, a promi
nent member of the Master Builders'
association, this morning. "We are just
as much dissatisfied with the situation
as ever we were. eW wanted on build
ing contrsct let at a time snd not all
of them together. Upon the plan which
has been adopted on contractor will get
all th work. That is, on single bidder
will either get ths entire contract or no
portion of it That plan is unfair to the
several contractors. If on building had
been let at a time then all of us would
have stood some show to get a part of
the work. If we missed in one of our
bids we might have been more success
ful th nextr time.
"To make it clear, there are nlno
buildings. Each bidder would have had
nin Chances to hav secured a contract
by letting each of them separately,
whereas now he has bnly one. If he
misses once he loses all opportunity to
get any of th work to do. In answer
to this plan the plea was made, that
It would require an unreasonable length
of time to advertise for bids and get the
matter under way. By letting a con
tract a day It would require but nine
days and it can thus easily be seen tnat
but very little time would have been
lost. But we can do nothing further
about the matter. It seems that it
has been finally settled."

strike of 8,000 tailors in this city was
realised this morning when all men
quit work. This number of strikers
was augmented shortly after by a walk
out of 5,000 metal workers. The earlier
reports from different districts show no

SIMON NOT A CANDIDATE
PORTLAND, March 14. 1904.
Under no possible circumstances will I allow myself to
be voted for as a successor of Senator Mitchell. I have said
in published interviews and in private that I am not and
will not be a candidate, and I now repeat it
The claims to the contrary made by the Matthews and
Carey politicians are false, and are made only to divert-the
people's attention .from their extravagant and corrupt ad
ministration of the city's affairs and finances. .
