CATION
Members Decide Against Park
, Block; The Greater Portland
Plan Body to Submit More
Facts to the Board.
i ; There la a difference of opinion be
tween the library bonrd and the build
ing committee of the Greater Portland
Plans association as to what constitutes
an adequate "working site" for the new
public library.
, Members of the library board made it
apparent to the committee at a meeting
held yesterday in the present library
that they will retain the site at present
elected for the new library at Tenth,
Kleventh, Taylor and Yamhill streets.
The site approved by Greater fort
" land Plans association is one of the
- blocks facing the .park blocks, preft r
ably one of the corners at the lntersoc
tlon of Park and Madison streets. Other
' organisations have Indorsed the asso-
: ciation'a attitude by resolution, includ
ing- the Realty Board, the Progressive
Business Men's club, the Northwest Unl
? versity club, the Fulton Park Improve
ment club and the Forestry association.
That every plan for the library must
be made to subserve the maintaining of
the present high standard of efficiency
In the administration of the library, that
(he site on the park blocks was consid
ered out of the way, and the site chosjn
the only desirable one within reach of
the purchasing fund, was stated by V. I
B. Ayer, who presided over yesterday's
. meeting.- .
, . Hot m Monument.
' That s, library Is not a monument for
tourists to be driven round, or a mprguo
to be admired and neglected, but a busy
workshop of all who read or study, a
department store for all who seek ideas
that the modern library, in brief, must
be placed where the crowds cannot miss
It and where It will practically aid the
electrician, the carpenter, the dreamer
and the realist was the argument of
the librarian, Miss Mary Frances Isom,
for a retention of the site chosen by
the library board.
' And In the answer to these arguments
President C. B. Merrick, of the Greater
Portland Plans association, said he had
been persuaded that thvrVquested site
on the park blocks Is jfiore .out of the
way than the site af Tenth, Eleventh,
Yamhill and Taylor streets. He added
that he believed the beautiful setting
which the building would be given would
more than compensate for the slight
additional distance.
' "X am loyal to the Bennett plan for
Greater Portland," said Mr. Merrick. "I
believe that if we cannot induce the
most enlightened semiofficial board in
. the city to recognise its advantages In
the locating of the library it will be
of little use for us to plan farther."
' - , ,? , , Blt 8oW t $400,000,
Mr. Ayer had explained that the pres
ent library site bad been sold at J40Q,
CuO, and then had been leased by the
board for two years at six per cent;
. that the present site had been purchased
for J8J0.00O, and that the buildings to
be put up at a cost of $400,000 would of
necessity be less monumental than use
XuL . .
William F. Woodward, a member of
the library board and also a member
of the executive board of the Greater
Portland Plana association, said he was
; convinced that with reflection (he asso.
- ciatlon, bi was sure, -would conolude
i that . the library board's decision had
'been wise. It. X Sabln. W. JU Brew
' ster and Rev. IV 1 ICliot voiced similar
'opinions. -f
Joseph Jacobberger, chairman of the
, committee; E. J, Jaeger, W. W. Cox and
other members of the committee sufc
talned Mr. Merrick's argument that the
' park block site would bo more desir.
able, especially for the Greater Port
. land.

On arrival at the entrance to the
.house of lords and the great officers of
state having- taken their positions about
the thrones, sir Henry F. Stephenson,
gentleman usher of the black rod, was
dispatched to the lower house to sum
mon the "faithful commons." In a few
minutes as many of them as could
crowd about the bar of the hou

appeared under the leadership of Speak
er Lowther. Premier Asqulth and the
members of the cabinet
Placing his cocked hat on his head
King George, now on the throne, arose
and read the speech. Beginning with
the customary expression of satisfaction
over Great Britain's friendly foreign
relations and expressing regret that the
Turko-Itallan war is still on, the king
referred to his recent Durbar trip. He
spoke in glowing terms of the warm
welcome accorded him and the queen In
India and of his appreciation of the
loyalty of his Indian subjects and of
the nature of the administrative and
other reforms he announced at Delhi.
King expresses Hopes.
In his speech the king said that while
labor conditions In England were ser
ious, causing the king "grave concern,"
he hoped the threatened miners' strike
would be averted and labor pacified In
general.
Referring to the revolt in China, the
king said that England is rigidly ad
hering to its policy of non-interference
In Chinese affairs and that he hoped
the new republlo would prove stable.
In relation to England's attitude
toward the Turko-Itallan war, the king
declared that Great Britain is prepared
to seise the first opportunity to join
with tne other powers to mediate the
trouble.
Drives Back to Palace.
At the conclusion of the speech the
king and queen left the house of lords
and drove back to Buckingham palace
amid renewed plaudits from spectators
along the route.
Meantime the commons convened In
their own ball and for the benefit of
those who were unable to crowd into the
house of lords the king's speech was
read by the speaker.
The opposition to home rule, under
command of Conservative Leader An
drew Bonar Law, will fight home rule
to the end, but with a solid progressive
majority of 110 In the commons. Irish
men have little to fear. The present
line-up Is as follows:
Liberals 26S
Nationalists (Redmonltes) 76
Laborltes 42
Total coalition home rulers .388
Conservatives 276
Ho Opposition Expected.
There are eight Independent Nation
alists, under William O'Brien, but they
are not expected to oppose the final
passage of the bill, even though they
may object to some of the details.
In the house of lords, the home rul
ers are outnumbered by about eight to
one, but under the terms of the veto
bill the representatives of the vested
interests cannot do more than delay
the adoption of home rule for three
years. If they reject the measure this
year the .government will reintroduce
and pass It next year and the follow
ing one, and it will thus become law
automatically. ,

McCool refuses to accept any offices,
preferring to reserve the right to appeal
from all rulings pf the president when
ever the delegation has a reunion.
Messrs. DeWeese and McCool were
students at Annapolis a few years ago.
They went there imbued with the Idea
that they would make splendid officers
of the Pacific squadron. They left at
different times, but close together. rt
Weese went back to Denver, where his
father Is a lawyer, while McCool re
turned to his father's hay ranch, sold
the crop and came on to Portland.
'The western delegation yesterday re

Calls It Yellow Journalism.
(United Press LMd Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 14. Denunciation
of yellow Journalism was voiced in the
house yesterday by Representative Slay
den when he asserted that actions of the
sensational press look like an effort to
involve the United States In a war.
'For 30 days my attention has been
drawn to, a series of newspaper publica
tions or a sensational nature," he said.
These articles have been written about
the affairs of Cuba and Mexico, about
an alleged menace from Japan, and In
trigues with Germany. I don't believe
any of them. I protest against thl
practice as being an Inexcusable effort
to disturb the peace of our nation."

Berlin, Feb. 14. The Berlin Post de
mands that the German government In

for the murder by Mexicans of Hans
Engelman.
"There is no reason why we should
await action by the United States In the
matter," the Post says. "Germany is

ple. The time has come when the Mex
icans should be shown that they cannot

Oriental Rugs
An Oriental Rug of Inferior Quality Is No Better
Than a Domestic Rug
When you buy an Oriental Rug youuy for Its
beauty and value, and if it is'nt unusually beauti
ful hovy, can it be beautiful at all, to an extent that
makes it worth more than a domestic carpet? The
finest Rugs are the products of master weavers
wrought with the loving care that only an artist
can impart to his work and made from the best
materials obtainable.
These choice specimens are chosen bv experts men
with intimate knowledge of rugs and their origin and
are sold by stores that cater to the best trade.
But the rugs that are rejected by the more critical buy
ers must find a market.
These are sold In bales In hundreds, to commission
men, auctioneers and others who foist tnem onto a cred
ulous public with weird tales of their alleged antiquity
and value. Some of these Inferior products may even
find their way to Portland their owners thinking that
the bait of a low price will find buyers for them.
Our Rugs are all bought direct. We Heed1 pay no" one a" commission. Out
twenty years' experience enables us to pick the finest specimens and the best
values. Our prestige in the business world and our ready cash enables us to
buy them. There's but one profit to pay here ours and that a small
one. Remember the buyer of an Oriental Rug who becomes dissatisfied
with her purchase is invariably one who bought inferior goods at "sale" prices.
Investigate critically, then carefully compare these Our regular prices with
alleged sale prices elsewhere.
