quently could do nothing. No exposition
officers were on the grounds at this hour
and as a result no arrangements could be
made.
At this point Superintendent Foster threw
himself into the breach and broke a rule to
the extent Of informing Mr.. O'Brien that II
he could get a party together he would
take the responsibility OF allowing the mem
bers to ride. O'Brien did not think he could
traverse the grounds on foot nor did he
care to do so and informed those about him
to this effect. He said that IL the wheel
men we're willing he would declare the pa
rade off. All OF the wheelmen within hear
ing Of his voice we're willing and so voted

FIRE AND POLICE MATTERS
Ohicer Sullivan on the Carpet bug
Decision in His Case is De-
ferred Indefinitely.

Charges against Patrolman Maurice Sui
livan, preferred by Mrs. Frank Klotz, 6l9
South Nineteenth street, were further heard
before the Board of Fire and Police COM
missioners last night. Mrs. Klotz, who is
a neighbor of the policeman. states that
Sullivan struck her and used vile language
in addressing her. The complaint related
to two occasions, the first on July 81, when
Sullivan visited Mrs. Klotz' house to re-
monstrate regarding the conduct of her boys,
who were alleged to have trespassed ON
his premises.
William Null, a lodger at the house, tes-
tilted that he was awakened by the police
mans loud language and heard him adj
| dress Mrs. Klotz in an insulting way.
On the day following the trouble was
transferred to Sullivah's door, where Mrs.
Klotz had applied in her turn to- ask Sui
livan to restrain his boys, who had as
sailed her premises with a bombardment
Of stones. Miss Minnie Kroh was present
during the interview and testified that Sui
livan ordered Mrs. Klotz from his yard.
and when she did not at once obey fol-
lowed with several blows. He used abusive
language on this occasion also and thrust
Mrs. Klotz from the porch.
The board deferred a decision in the mat
ter pending a disposition of n case between
the same parties IN the ulSlrlcL court,
wherein Sullivan Is contesting his obligation
to pay a fine for the offense in question
imposed by the police court,
Charges were preferred against Pstrolmen
JeppersOn and beaverton by police sergeants
who allege that the officers left their beats
and concealed themselves in a small garden
back OF a saloon at Sixteenth and Cunning
streets. Testimony will be taken in the
matter at the next meeting.
A request for salary in the amount OF
s. as secretary of the Police Relief asso-
citation was received from Frank j. King
and ordered paid. Applications for back
pay were also received from Sergeant Be-
bout, Patrolman Donohue and Dooley, who
say that they were obliged to lose fifteen
days last August in accordance with a
measure OF economy providing that each pa
trolman should accept the same loss in turn.
The measure, however. was not extended
further than their cases. The communica-
ton was placed on file together with a
petition from p. II. McLarnan, who claims
that he was fined ten days pay illegally.
The names OF James Manifold and e. II.
Waybright were added to the roll OF the
fire department as utility men, whose serv-
ices will be paid for as they are used.

tiOn in order to accept a better position.

Endorses Union Labor.

AS soon as the vote was announced Mem
Der Thomas introduced the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, This Board Of Education Is now
and has for several years paid the union
scale of wages and has encouraged the best
of skilled labor by paying in some cases
more than the union scale; therefore, be IL
Resolved, That this board hereby reas-
sert its confidence in the benefits of union
labor properly organized in the community
and that we, as members OF the board, here
By approve of union labor as a means OF Sc
curing and maintaining a reasonable and
Just scale of wages, and that We hereby
recommend TO the employees of the ooaro
| that they personally assist and athllate WIFI
| their respective labor unions as far as they
| can find It consistent with right ana JUS
tice tn themselves and their fellowmen.
Mr.. Burgess seconded the adoption OF the
resolution and in connection with it scored
tho labor unions for their action in order
ing the strike. lie declared that without
giving the board an opportunity to take
legal action on their request they had taken
the matter into their own hands and had
| inaugurated an 'idiotic' strike. He de-
clared himself in favor OF labor organiza-
lions, but advised them to be more cautious
in the selection of their leaders.
These remarks brought forth Kisses from
the lobby.
Van Glider declared the resolution {
"%whitewash" and an evasion OF the ques.
ton. He followed this up with a lengthy
labor speech. which aroused the applause o.
the lobby several times, He was followed
by several others. Trey and Moore explained
n they opposed the resolution because /
did not confne the mechanics employed 4
men who have served their full apprentice

lowing vote:

Following this resolution Mr.. Buchanan
introduced another In which the board eG

pressed pleasure at the improved social and
financial condition Of laboring men; pointed
with pride that the board employees receive
union wages and looked with confidence to-
ward a future where organized labor would
not appear TO deny to other laboring men
the rights they claim for themselves, as they
do at present through unwise advice and
rash leadership. This resolution was passed
almost unanimously, Van Glider only vot-
ing in the negative. The latter declared the
resolution was another coat Of "whitewash,
which declaration again aroused the applause
of the lobby.
Kiewit tried to get his turn to introduce a
resolution, but was shut OF by Acting
Chairman Grafton.

Is not known in the east is ridiculous and
everyone knows It.
In connection with this matter MIR, Rose
water called attention to a distorted re-
port Of the conference referred to which
appeared in a local publication. He stated
that so far from being called to %criticise
his methods this conference was determined
on at a conference between himself, Presi-
dent wattles and Senator Thurston, at
which the best means for utilizing the end
Of the war to bring the exposition promi-
nently before the public were discussed.
The subsequent conference with members
Of the directory and the decision to author
lie him to 60 east to see the publishers
OF the large papers were decided on unani-
mously and with his own approval.

William !. Stewart OF Boston, secretary
of the Society of American Florists, is in
the city to attend the annua convention
of that organization. He said the attendance
at the meeting was largely problematic, as
the society had never met this far west
before, but that if the florists in the con-
tiguous territory turned out as they should
the meetings would be large. Mr.. Stewart
was out here last May to make some pre-
liminary arrangements for the meeting.
Asked as to the effect Of the war Upon bust
ness in New England Mr.. Stewart said:
II don't know that it made any difference
with us there. 1t is true that some of the
sensational newspapers tried to get up a
war scare in our vicinity, but it had little
effect. Business, so far as our peculiar
branch of it was concerned, seemed TO move
along in the same channels, with no APP
preciable effect either way as the result of
the war"

HEARD ABOUT TOWN..



Jacob j. Kern and Judge George A. Trude
Of Chicago stopped over while enroute to
Idaho to look over a ranch they have there.
They visited the exposition hurriedly, to
determine how long they should remain here
to do 1t thoroughly upon their return from
the west, which will be In about four weeks.
Both of the visitors are young men, but
occupy prominent positions in the political
world at Chicago. Mr.. Kern was city at
torney for two years, and state attorney for
four years. Mr.. Trude succeeded Mr.. Kern
as city attorney, but before his term was
completed he was appointed by Governor
Tanner to a position on the bench Of the
superior court, where he is now serving. He
is a democrat, but as there is a determined
| effort in Chicago to keep the judiciary out
of politics, he was appointed by a republi-
can governor to take the place of a demo-
cratic judge who died while on the bench.
Mr.. Trude is a brother of A.. S. Trude, one
of the leaders of the Chicago bar, who is
now also in the west.

Tho Various Reasons That Prompt Thom {,
TaLe u Long Sea voyage.

Almost everybody that travels on the sea now
adays goes by steamer. but there are still some
persons who. for one reason and another, take
passage on sailing ships going usually long voy-
ages. All big ships have one Or two. or perhaps
more. spare stnterooms in their cabin. and so
are able to carry comfortably limited number
of passengers. American ships sailing out OF

for the benefits of tho voyage, and for enforced
abstinence, There are YET such psssengers, hut
some yesse!-owning firms now dacline them.
Passengers making these long voyages In Bal-
ing vessels go some for pleasure. and others are
actuated by various nIotives. For example;
Two young men who were friends went out
from here together to japan. One of them WAS
the son OF New York importer who was going
out to be a resident agent in Japan OF his
fathers house. This house charters shlpe and
has constant dealings with ships. and IT, was

could acquire on tho voyage out. The other
