was broken here today for the Psina-
ma-Pacific exposition of 1915, that is
to commemorate the opening of the
Panama canal. President Taft lifted
the first spadeful of black earth from
the ground on which few years from
now the exposition buildings will rise:
Madame Lillian Nordica sang her
greeting and more than 100000 per-
sons filled the great stadium in Col

sky was flawless blue, with never

stadium. the hills that fringed the
road over which the party travelled

Thousands Of Spectators.
Around the race course of Tie
stadium were banked thousands of
spectators and on the track itself
thousands of soldiers from the Pre-
sidIo and hundreds of jackies and
.nailitiamen stood at rest. their guns
flashing In the sunlight. Every few
feet around the course were flagpoles

and gold flag of California.
In the cup beneath the president
were more than $4,000 persons. Most
of them were women. From the plat
form 1t looked like a moving sea of
bodies. that was crested with purple
and blue and red breakers where the
hats stood out. Over hundred feet

murmur OF its breakers came only in
distinctly to the crowd above. but its
blue matched the sky and the white

shore agreed with the white of the
flag that whipped in the wind above
the stand.

There was hardly an unpleasant in

STORY IS FRAMEUP
YOUNG men
ADMIT
HOBoES CONFESS
PLOT TO FALSELY ACCUSE
COMPANION OF MURDER.

Portland. Ore, Oct. 14.-Under d
kindly but searching examination by
detectives today, Harry Howard. one
of the youthful hohos who yesterday,
with his partner, flames Hawkins, told
the local authortfes complete and
almost convincing story which impli-
Gated A. r. Holmberg, also hobo,
In the murder of four members of the
Hill family IN this city on the night of
June 8, made such admissions that the
detectives now believe the whole story
of the two boys we'll planned frame
up The vital object of the boys
story was TO obtain the substantial re-
ward for the arrest of the murderer
OF the Hill family. Young Howard
practically admitted that he and James
Hawkins deliberately conspired to
swear away the life Of the Swedish
sailor in order that they might obtain
the $4,000 reward offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the assassin.
.s The Plot.
II was admitted by Howard, who
gives his age at ". and has furnished
proof that the name he is using Is an
alias, that he and the Hawkins boy,
year younger, read the newspaper
accounts OF the tragedy several times
carefully in Portland and then decided
when the opportunity came to. tell the
authorities In some small town that
Holmberg committed the murder of
the Hills.
Harry Howard tonight said that his
real name Is George Justrs, and that
he formerly lived In New Jersey. HIS
companion, James Hawkins, tonight
confirmed Howards story that they
plotted together TO fix the responsible
ity for the murder of the four menu
bers OF the Hill family upon August
Hoimberg for the purpose OF securing
the reward offered for the capture OF
the murderer, II is probable that
Holmberg will be set free shortly, The
authorities have not yet determined
what action they will take with REFER
ence to the boys.

the Committee organized for the
purpose ofbrirging the next National
Democratic Convention to Baltimore

The Democratic National Com

As stated in former editorial Mr.
Grain was the right man chosen t'
to lead the fight 10 get this Conven-
lion fvi Baltimore. Mr.. Grain said
after his selection that the necessary
money could be raised and il has
been done. He W II continue now
TO bend every effort to get the
support Of the national leaders for
Baltimore. Mr.. Grain is an in
defatigAble worker and when he
goes after anything he is untiring il
his efforts to procure it. Mr.. Grain
is the right man in the right place
to get the Convention for Baltimore.
He has perhaps a larger acquaintance
with the leaders Of the Democratic
party of the country than any man

makes him the most qualified to lead
a fight such as this.
When he announced that the
necessary sum bad been procured he
stated that he believed that the
