FAVORS PLAN To
HOLD FAIR HERE
PORTLAND EXPOSITION WILL
BE A SUCCESS
READY TO GREET VISITORS
Member of Board of Directors Says
Everything Will Be in Its
Place by June
First

Portland, with population of 14O,-
00O, will open a S5,O0O000 exposition on
June l, absolutely clear of debt and
with the brightest of prospects that it
will be a success in every way.
Three years hence, L can see no rea-
son why Los Angeles cannot undertake
a similar project with prospects of
success as bright as ours now are"
This is the statement of H. Witten-
berg, one of the board of directors OF
the Lewis and Clark exposition and
president and general manager of the
Pacific Coast Biscuit company, who ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday from
Portland.
"June will be gala day through
out the state of Oregon" said Mr.. Wit
tenberg at the Westminster hotel last
night. 1T has been made a holiday
by the legislature and special trains
will pour their crowds into Portland
from all over the state. We are ex-
pecting $4,000 visitors at the opening
day exercises, at which the governor
and his staff, representatives of the
different states and foreign nations,
having exhibits, will be present.
Two Features of Fair
"Our exposition will be remarkable
in two ways. First, it will be COM
pleted and everything will be in it's
place by the opening day. Second, the
fair will be opened with every cent
OF Indebtedness paid.
"A conservative estimate of the at
tendance places it at 100000, others
place it at 100000. We are counting
that 5000 daily admissions will pay the
running expenses of $250O a day, and,
with the closing of the exposition. we
expect to have $150,000 to turn back to
the corporation of Portland business
men who organized the exposition COM
pany with subscriptions amounting to
$500, 900.
"The fair management is expecting
the largest crowds in September and
October, but the opinion now is that
the attendance will run along evenly
throughout the season. We expect
California to furnish one-fourth of the
admissions.
Reasonable Rates for Board
"The high rates for meals and rooms
that We're in evidence at st. Louis, will
not be found at the Portland fair. We
promise that the rates will be we'll
within the reach of every one. The
American Inn, similar to the Inside
Inn at st. Louis containing aCcommo-
dations for 1000 people, and with a
dining room that has a seating ca
pacity of 1900 persons, has been in
readiness for the opening for the past
ten days. The rates run from 50 to $S
per day, American and European plans.
I'm everything, Portland has been
conservative. The city has not tried
to have fair larger than it is capable
OF taking care of, and if Los Angeles
wishes to advertise itself by the same
means as Portland, and goes about it
in the same manner, such an under
taking cannot but be of inestimable
value to the city.
"At the outset, / was pessimistlc as
TO the outcome of the Portland exposi-
tion, but at the present time 1 am very
optimistic as to it's future and the
benefit 1t will be to Portland"

CHICAGO, May 2t.-Chcago is
threatened with race war of serious
proportions. Embittered by the shoot
ing of Enoch Carlson, an year old
boy. last week by two negroes, the resi-
dents in the vicinity of Twenty-ninth
and Dearborn streets have armed
themselves and clashes between white
and colored men have become so fire.
quent since the Carlson murder that IL
has been found necessary to detail
scores of policemen In the district to
preserve peace. Even this precaution
has been unsuccessful in keeping the
opposing factions apart.
In riot that broke out in this district
tonight between the whites and the
blacks James Gray, colored, was killed,
Harry Bernstein was mortally wounded
and a building in which Bernstein was
being held a captive, suffering from
four bullet wounds, was stoned and
partially wrecked by mob of 1000 per-
sons.
The trouble started when James Gray
accused Bernstein and a white compan-
ion Of being trouble-makers. Since the
teamsters' strike Gray has been en-
ployed by a coal company as driver.
The merits of the strike and the shoot
ing of young Carlson were up for dis
cussion. Angry words soon led to blows
and in the fight that followed Gray
drew a knife and attacked the men,
Bernstein, who is a bartender, drew a
revolver and fired four shots. Two of
the bullets took effect in Grays body.
He fell unconscious and died while be-
ing removed to a hospital.

Otherwise railway stockholders would
have waxed rich and arrogant. Be

their rebates 10 the pious work of re-
