BABY SHOW
A FEATURE

Portland, Or, Aug 2.-(SpeciaD-
What may be described as scientific
baby show and child welfare exhibit
will be prominent feature Of the
Salem state fair, fl Properly 1t will be
known as an exposition Of Eugenics.
The climax of 1t will be a big baby
show on Wednesday, Sept. 4, A spe-
cial pavilion has been arranged for
this department. The exposition Of
Eugenics will be unique in that 1t will
not place premium on a merely pret-
ty baby, but the tots will be judged
according to their physical perfection.
The proper rearing of babies will be
discussed by lecturers, physicians and
nurses and the modern ways of car
ing for a child will be demonstrated
in the welfare exhibit
Proper and harmful methods of
feeding will be demonstrated and at
tention will be called to foods which
are commonly used in the nursery and
which contain injurious substances.
Well known physicians will point out
the effects of these drugs on the chill
dren.
A. great deal of encouragement is
being Received by o. M. Plummer, SUI
perintendent of the exposition Of Eu-
genics, from various parts of the
country. The movement is still a
new one but its worth is appreciated
ard some other sections of the coun-
try are following out the same ideas
1t is hoped to have competitive ex-
mbits of babies, judged along scienti-
fic lines, in each county and that the
best babies will be entered at Salem
Later, it is hoped to have a big exhib-
1t in which all parts Of the country
will participate, at the Panama-Pa'
cific exposition at San Francisco.

in Eugenics offers the most practica
step toward the improvement Of the
race that has been undertaken IL
years.

For years past the carelessness of
hunters in starting fires has been a
great contributing source to the for

and will do the same this year. The
law provides that whenever the for
ester shall convince the governor that
hunters are causing forest fires that
he may order the season closed, and
during the time he has ordered 1t
closed the laws applicable to the
closed season will be in force.

BARNUM
& BAILEY
CIRCUS
AT PORTLAND TWO DAYS-GREAT
SPECTACLE OF "CLEOPATRA"
BEGINS REGULAR PERFORM
ANCE.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show ON Earth and newly added spec
tacle of Cleopatra" will exhibit in
Portland two days on Aug 16 and II.
The spectacle in itself is an attrao-
tion that should fill the big tent at
each performance and draw thousands
of visitors from the surrounding dis
tricts 1t is beyond question the
greatest production of its kind ever
seen in America.
The worlds most sklllful scenic
artists, costumers, property builders,
chorus directors and stage managers
were engaged to mount the produc-
tion. A stage bigger than hundred
ordinary theatres was built and made
portable so that it can be conveyed
from town to town and erected each
day in the main tent. The circus pro-
prletors have thus made 1t possible
for those who live in contrlbutory
towns, even farmers and their fam
lilies, to see the magnificent wordless
play that is an immense attraction in
the largest cities. It is enacted with
cast Of 1880 actors, grand opera
chorus, an orchestra of 100 soloists,
ballet of $50 dancing girls, $50 horses,
five herds Of elephants, caravans OF
camels, and a trainload of special de-
vices, costumes and scenery and cleo
trcal mechanism for producing such
effects as lightning, thunder, sand
storms on the desert, volcanoes in ac-
tion, sunrise, floods, and mirages.
The realism of the scenery is per-
feet. 1t is as though the audience was
looking into the streets of Alexandria
in the day of Ptolemys, The streets
throb with their strange cosmopolitan
life. In the middle distance flows the
Nile, the mighty pyramids and the
sphinx looking down from past ages,
Beyond them stretch endless wastes
Of sand. The laureats of dead race
speak from forgotten tombs. The
walls of Time fall down, and we see
the court of Cleopatra during its years
of extravagance and revelry, and hear
the story of the betrayal Of Rome and
the undolng of Marc Antony, told in a
yividly realistic way. The incidental
music was arranged by Faltls Effendi
late bandmaster of the Khedlye OF
Egypt The ballet is under the direc-
ton of 0ttokar Bartik, balletmaster oi
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Com
pany.
The regular circus program is the
finest the Barnum and Bailey man

DOWN TO FOUR PAGES
Chicago Newspapers Are Compelled to
Reduce Their Size.

Chicago, May 4.-The strike of the
pressmen on the principal Chicago
daily papers took on a more serious
aspect early today when the stereo-
typers in all of the offices affected left
their work in sympathy with the orig
inal strikers This made the third
union to join in the strike, the wag-
on drivers having previously quit
work. The walkout of the stereotype
ers compelled the publishers to con-
dense the morning papers. Only one
edition was issued and this without
any advertisements. 1t was expected
that the afternoon papers would act
similarly and isue only one edition in
condensed form.
For the first time since the strike
began shooting was resorted to today.
Several shots were fired in the street
in front of one of the newspaper
buildings at Madison and Dearborn
streets No one was injured but the
police made several arrests.
Newspaper wagons under the guard
of policemen, were being loaded at
the time of the shooting.
The following statement was issued
after the walkout by the local branch
oc the Newspaper Publishers associa-
tion:
Because the owners of the Chicago
daily newspapers would not permit a
committee of the stereotypers' union

ance with the bosses. We saw this at

in that part of Maryland where We
count upon a Republican majority.
People told me not to come here be-
cause we would get the delegates any
way. But 1 don't want just enough
votes to elect the delegates. I want
you to vote with us four or five to one,
and 1 think you'll do it.
Think of what we did in Pennsyl-
vania. There it was a straight lineup
between the people and the bosses.
We won and the effect of the victory
was felt all over the United States.
If Maryland fails the effect will be to
dishearten those who stand with US
everywhere.

tions at issue between the publishers
and the pressmen's union the stereo-
typers union tonight walked out of Ill
the newspaper offices. This was done
in distinct violation of the contract eX-
listing between the Chicago publishers
and the stereotypers' union and in face
of a specific order from James J. Freel,
international president of the stereo-
typers union, who warned his local fol-
lowers against such action.
This strike by the stereotypers is
the third contract-breaking walkout by
the unions employed in the Chicago
newspaper offices in the last 48 hours.
To-day was a day of violence and
b1oodshed on the streets of Chicago.
Scores of boys and men, who endeaV-
ored to sell afternoon papers, were
brutally assaulted by members of the
drivers union and sympathizers with
the pressmen- One boy was taken by
seven strikers to the Chicago river at
the Madison street bridge and they
were on the point of throwing him in,
when he was rescued by a platoon of
police. His aSsailants were captured
and taken to the Desplaines street sta
ton. Another boy had his Jaw split
and scores were beaten unrn rnercifully.
At least half a dozen are in various
hospitals
Within short time after the stereo-
typers struck, all the morning papers
affected prepared to get out a four
page paper.

BIG DAY ARRIVES
All in Readiness for Woman
Suffrage Demonstration.
Which Has Been in Course of
Preparation a Year.
LcODyr1Eht: lela: By John T. MOcutcneOu.l

New York, May 4.-The weather
man provides a warm sun and a
cloudless sky today for the biggest
woman's suffrage demonstration in
the history of New York City. For
nearly a year preparations for the
great parade have been under way
and there was little for Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch and her assistants to
do except to marshal the various di-
visions of their forces for the big pa
rade at o'clock and the mass meet
ing in Carnegie hall at o'clock.
The 5000 women-and men. too
who had asked for places in the pa
rade, received a last word of exhor-
tation from Mrs. Blatch during the
morning. Remember she said,
through a printed card with which
march for the mightiest reform the
world has ever seen. The orderly
appearance of our procession depends
upon each individual marcher. Re-
member the public will judge, quite
illogically, of course, but not less
strictly, your qualifications as a voter
by your promptness.
The men marchers, a host which
Mrs. Blatch thought might reach 5000
in number, were disappointed to learn
that Colonel Roosevelt had declined
the invitation to lead their division.
The program provided for a pro-
cession made up of eleven divisions,
led by an. equestrienne squad of 100
riders, a band and a company of out
door suffragette orators, each carry
ing her little green platform slung like
a knapsack across her shoulder.
The eleventh division, bringing up
the rear of the parade, was assigned
TO Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont's organiza-
ton of department store clerks pre-
ceded by the newly organized baby
carriage brigade.
The tenth division, which comprised
the regular members of the woman
suffrage party, hired a dozen bands
for their section of the parade and
provided each member with a yellow
pennant and a tiny yellow electric
torch.

Taft and Roosevelt Are Cam
paigning Through Maryland
On Schedules That viii Extend
Into the Night.
LAST CHANCE AT THE VOTERS
State Wide Primary VIII Be
Held Next Monday.
The Democrat Candidates Have
Made Their Final Appeal.

Baltimore, May 4.-This, the last day
of the primary election campaign in
Maryland found President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt early on the move with
speaking programs that will occupy
them until bedtime and cover nearly
every part of the state.
The Democrats have planned a series
of rallies, but Speaker Champ Clark,
Governor woodrow Wilson and Cover
nor Judson Harmon, the presidential
preference candidates have made their
last personal appeals to the voters.
Maryland has awakened to the i'm
portance of Mondays primary. The
new law gives voters the opportunity
to bind the delegates to the state con-
vention to act on a presidential can
didate as their constituents instruct
them, and majority of delegates to the
state convention acting as thus in
structed can choose a delegation to
the national convention which must
vote as a unit for the presi7e~-:7I nom
ination candidate thus given the popu-
lar choice.
Since delegates are elected by coun-
ties except in Baltimore where the leg
islative district is the unit the presi-
Dental preference vote will be signifi-
cant only as it gives majorities in the
various counties and legislative dis
tricts. In other words the total pre-
ference vote of the state will not nee
essarily decide which candidate viii
get the Maryland delegation.
Col. Roosevelt spent the night here
after his concluding speech yesterday
and left this morning for a tour of the
western part of the state. He LAD
speeches scheduled at half a dozen
towns, winding up with an address this
afternoon at Cumberland.
President Taft entered the state short
ly after his rivals train left Baltimore
and campaigns today through eastern
Maryland, travelling by both train and
automobile. He will reach Baltimore
late this afternoon and tonight will
end his tour with speech in the Lyric
theater where Col. Roosevelt spoke last
night.
When Mr.. Taft asked if he had re-
ceived a square deal from Roosevelt
several persons shouted, mo, no."
The president replied at HyattsvilIe
to former Attorney General Bona
parties remark that the American
people did not want him elected
president in 1908.
We'll, a good many people voted
for me. anyhow said Mr.. Taft.
If anybody is to be charged with
being an oligarch or aristocrat, don't
believe Mr.. Bonaparte could escape"
