THE MORNING OREGONIAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902: TO SGALP MOORE Faction in Board of Trade Seeks His Defeat. SECRETARY AFTER RE-ELECTION Jit the AbbbrI Meeting Tonight Offi cers Will Be Cfaonen Scope of the Board May Be . "Widened to Serve Greater Purpose. Certain gentlemen of the Board of Trade are after the scalp of the secretary. James M. Moore. They don't think Mr. Moore Is equal to his Job, and they al-Ipc-e that he is not business-like in his methods and accounts. They assert that he stirred up things when he shouldn't and that he hasn't stirred up things when he should. They aver that the records of his office are kept in a shlpshod manner. Mr Moore treats all these attacks with quiet disdain. "I have heard of these eubterraneas attacks." said hfenast night, "but nobody has had the courage to meet me face to face with them. 1 should cer tainly have more admiration for the gen tlemen who are assailing me if they would come Into the open. My records ihave at all times been open to inspection, -and so they are now. I shall present them t the annual meeting." Nevertheless Mr. Moore is likely to be up against it at the annuaT meeting to tnlght, for he is a candidate for re-elec-ftion. Mr. Mooro Is opposed by a strong element of the board. Whether his antag onists will be able to defect him Is a. question that will be decided tonight. JThey have been laying plans for his de feat for several days. If he shall not be .elected, who will be? This is a question for which there Is no answer as yet. President Beach will probably be re flected. The other officers are: "William fKlllingsworth. first vice-president; James Steele, second vice-president; and Tyler '"Woodward, treasurer. Prominent members of the board favor ta reorganization of the body. They think 'the board could serve a higher usefulness iby combining the functions of such public bodies as the Civic Improvement Aesocia ition, the Taxpayers' League, the old Com anittee of One Hundred, etc "There would be a wide field of work for .such a body." said a member yesterday. "The Chamber of Commerce has been re juvenated largely by our competitive ef forts, and it can now be relied aipoh to take care of trade and commercial ques !tlon. The Manufacturers' Association will look after manufacturing topics. The duties of the Board of Trade are not ended by any means, but our body could serve a more useful purpose by broaden ing its field of endeavor in the way I have suggested." BUREAU PROJECT A GO. The Immigration Committee Has Raised $10,430. The immigration bureau is a "sure go." Over two-thirds of the money required is raised. The sum already subscribed is $10,430. "We'll reach our goal before the new year comes in," says the committee that is pushing the project. The committee has sp'ent three weeks at the work. Its members have had to trot around lively, and they have worn out a good deal of shoe leather. They get no compensation for their labors, and they wish that all citizens would appre ciate this fact. Nearly everybody does, but once In & while the committee rubs up against somebody who doesn't. "What graft are you getting out of this?" asked a hard-headed gentleman who Is a politician when he Is not a lawyer, and a lawyer when he la not a politician. ThlB gentleman has high polit ical aspirations. "None at ail." came back the response. "I'm not a plnheaded politician." Perhaps this was the reason the aspir ing gentleman didn't subscribe. ' Sub-bureaus have already been organized in a number of counties. These bureaus will supply the Portland bureau with printed matter and with products for ex hibition. The project was indorsed by the Irrigation Convention. The purpose of the bureau is to set forth the resources and industries of the state for the infor- mation and guidance of newcomers. The subscribers to the fund will elect a board of directors. Their names will be printed on all the stationery of the bureau and will thus have an influence in directing country trade.

BAZAAR POPULAR Crowds Attend and Are Entertained hy Indian "War Veterans. The third day of the G. A. R. bazaar was highly successful, In spite of the weather. The lunch tables were crowded and the goods displayed at the booths are rapidly disappearing. Last evening the programme was in charge of the Indian War veterans and the Pioneers. T. A. Wood, commander of the Indian War Veterans, spoke of the Lone Fir monu ment, and informed his hearers that each of the four sides would be devoted ex clusively to one of the four veteran or ganizations interested in the movement the Mexican War "Veterans, the Indian War Veterans and those of the Civil and Spanish-American Wars. Captain H. Mc MiUen spoke of his experiences in cross ing the plains in 1845. Mrs. Kate Ham gave a recitation, and the music, consisted of a piano solo by Miss Nellie Hemen way, a song by Miss Maggie Gillette and an Instrumental piece by Miss Laura Mc Donald.

Athey, a vocal duet by Misses Mazle and Grace Shaw, a recitation by Miss Maude Howes, mandolin music by Down's -Mandolin Club, and an 'instrumental solo by George Houghton. ROBBERS GROWING WEARY Horse Worn Out and They Cannot Travel "Fast. . BUTTE, Mont., Dec 3. A special to' the Inter-Mountain from Billings, Mont., sayei Soon after the robbery yesterday. Sheriff Potter, of Carbon County, assumed com mand of the chase, taking it up where the local posse from Brldger left .qftr Potter and his men followed the trail, which led them lurther to the northwest and in the direction of Absorakee. Late at night the posse reached that town, which is 12 miles south of Columbiis and an equal distance from the Northern Pacific Railway. Then they got word that the three robbers, worn, and weary from hard riding, and gruff and vicious, rode up to the Arthur ranch, six miles south of Absorakee. Only the cook and to other men were at the ranch. The robbers did not offer, to molest them, but demanded fresh horses. There were none to be had, MAN WHO MADE CAPTAIN GEORGE "W. STREETER. CHICAGO, Dec 3. The Jury In the Streeter case rendered a verdict this morn ing, finding Captain George Wellington Streeter, Henry Hoelatke and William Mc Manners guilty of manslaughter, and fixing their punishment at imprisonment In the penitentiary. The Jury recommended clemency In the case of Hoeldtke. The three defendants were accused of the murder of John S. Kirk, a watchman for Henry W. Cooper, to whom were entrusted the Interests of the lake shore property-owners, whose land adjoins the renowned district of Lake Michigan, over which Streeter's claim of rulershlp has given the police all kinds, of trouble. Kirk was ehot In a fight, between the Cooper and Streeter forces on February 11. The three men were tried last July for the murder of -Kirk, but the Jury disagreed after many hours of deliberation. the only animals in the corral being unfit for hard work. The men at the ranch give a meager de scription of the three. The man who ap peared to be the leader was middle-aged and' of medium elze. A rusty fur coat cov- ereo mm irom neaa to root. He was- tne only one who did any talking, and he spoke but a few words. One of the other men appeared to be about 30 years of age. He wore a black mustache and had beady. black eyes. He was attired In a heavy cloth or chinchilla overcoat. The third man was an Inoffensive-looking youth of 21 or 22 years, who seemed most fearful of -being recognized. When they found that no fresn horses were, to be obtained, they ate some bread and meat the cook gave them, and rode away, though their gait, owing to the tired condition of the horses, was not rapid. These horses, it now appears, were stolen- Monday night from a ranch near Joliet. Apparently the robbers Intend to get from the head of the Stillwater into the Teton country east of the National Park, and work their way down into the Jackson Hole region. Eight hundred dollars reward has been offered for the capture ' of the men. $500 by the Brldger Bank and $100 by each of the Red Lodge banks. 4 NOT SUBJECT TO DUTY. Sugar From Porto itico to Come In Duty Free. NEW "YORK, Dec. 3. A decision has been handed down here by united States Circuit Judge Wallace, wherein he decided a question of importance to importers. particularly thoseJwho store goods in the bonded- warehouses. .The plaintiffs, imr ported sugar from, Porto Rico In .April, 1899, which was stored In a bonded ware house. On April 6, 1901, the sugar was withdrawn for consumption. In the lnte. rim the peace contract between the "United States' and Spain was ratified, and the sugar was entltledaccordlng to later de cisions of the United States Supreme Court, to admission duty free, under the insular decisions. , It was to recover $1442 duty assessed that the plaintiffs sued. The Government Interposed a demurrer, alleging that the goods were not assessable at' the time they were withdrawn, but at the time of their importation. The court 'overruled the demurrer and decided for the plaintiff. Farewell to Dr. Lorenx. CHICAGO, Dec. 3. A farewell luncheon has been given to Dr. Adolf Lorenz, the Vienna surgeon, and his assistant, Dr. Frlederich Mueller, at the Chicago Ath letic Association.

The Multnomah County Sunday School Association was in 'session yesterday afternoon arid evening in the Cumberland i- Presbyterian Church, East Twelfth ana East Taylor streets. A. A. Morse pre sided. The presence of Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, of Peoria, 111., an international Sunday school worker, added much to the interest of the proceedings, and was regarded as a great treat to the teach ers. A brief devotional exercise was held In the afternoon, when some reports were received from district superintendents. Mrs. R. R. Steele spoke entertainingly of the Primary Union in Portland, and told something of the efforts put forth to keep it going. She said that a capable teacher was greatly needed. Mrs. C. M. Kiggins WAR ON CHICAGO gave a paper on "Beginner's Course and Cradle Roll." Mrs. Bryner then took the platform and spoke for some time on various phases of the Sunday school work. She took up the subject of the international lessons prepared for use of Sunday schools, and showed how and by whom they were pre pared, but she gald that results must de pend on the teachers themselves. There must bo thorough preparation for the les son In advance, so" that there would not be machine work. Mrs. Bryner insisted that it was the duty of the teacher to make thorough preparation and to be full of the lesson to be taught Mrs. Bryner spoke several times during the afternoon Land the delegates preferred to hear her talk to taking up the time themselves The afternoon was taken up with the discussion of departments of Sunday school work. At adjournment at 5:45 luncheon was served by the ladles of the church, which was enjoyed by all the dele gates. in tne evening services were opened at 7:30. After praise service, R, R. Steele gave an instructive address on "Quarterly Written Review." This was followed by a short talk by Mrs. Bryner on "Pivotal Periods of Childhood." FRUITMEX TO MEET SATURDAY. Growers Will Decide Whether or Not They Want n Union. The fruitgrowers' meeting will be held next Saturday afternoon, In Odd Fellows Hall, Grand avenue and East Pine street us previously announced. President Welch said yesterday that the meeting will not Interfere with the Grange meet Ins In Multnomah Hall. At the fruit growers' gathering It will probably be settled whether or not there will be union of the growers who market their products In Portland. If the growers come out and show any disposition to support the movement it will go ahead, but If they hang back It will be dropped as general organization. It Is now u: to the farmers whether they will start a strong union or not. They can make or prevent the organiza tion by turning out or staying away. The leaders say they are willing to go ahead as long as there Is any hope of accom plishing anything, but do not propose to waste any more time after next Satur day. C. T. Hunt, who has been prominent in the movement and who is an experienced dealer, has already formed plans to make a combination' of 10 or 20 fruitgrowers, provided there Is no general union of growers. He Is of the opinion that such a combination, which has the experience and financial ability, can come near con trolling the fruit market. Mr. Hunt's plans are approved by a considerable number of growers, but they will wait and see what is. done at the meeting Saturday before taking definite steps. GREAT POTATO SHIPPING POINT. Fifteen Cnrlondn Sent From Fair view in One Day Lost Weelc. - Fairvlew. on the 0 R. & N. Railroad, Is probably the most important potato shipping point In Oregon. Last week In one day 15 carloads of potatoes were sent away from that station by Wolf & Co., and scarcely a day passes but that from one to five carloads are shipped. The po tatoes come mainly from the farmers In Powell Valley, in the vicinity of Gresham and Pleasant home. Large quantities also come from along the Columbia Slough, where large yields are always secured. Shipments this year from-'Falrvlew seem even larger than formerly, although for some years it -has been a large shipping point. A market so near to their homes is a great thing for the farmer, and brings him many thousands of dollars In ready cash. There has been talk of erecting a warehouse at Fairvlew for handling the potato crop, and this will probably have to be done before another year. The com pletion of the Springwater branch of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company will probably take away some portion of Powell Valley from Fairvlew as a dis tributing point, but the Columbia Slough country will probably always ship prod-, uce by way of Fairvlew. ' , THREE-LINKERS. CELEBRATE. Speeches and a Banquet Enjoyed la Orient' Hall, East Side. The sixth anniversary ofc the consolida tion of Orient, Home and Lealty Lodges.. O. O. F., was celebrated last night in Odd Fellows' Hall, on Grand avenue and East Pine streets.

He said that as a result of that consolidation the lodge had become pros perous in every way. The chairman then called on Robert Andrews, grand master, who had been one of the members promi nent in effecting consolidation. Mr. Andrews made an excellent talk, in which he told of the measures that were taken to bring the three weak lodges to gether Into one. strong lodge. Mr. An drews said that as a result of that union Orient was out of debt and had money to loan. . It had paid off-a mortgage of. $3000 on the property. Its membership was now above 190. N. P. Tomllnson, who also worked for consolidation, made a pleasing address. Grand Recorder Sharon also made appro priate remarks. The chairman then called on several for short talks. One of the 'most effective was by Mrs. F. S. Dunning, who said that the Odd Fellows had ac corded the sisters a side degree, and aroused their curiosity for the remainder. and 'she hoped that the time would come when the doors of Odd Fellowship would be opened to members of the Rebekah lodges. During the addresses music was furnished by C. A. Walker and daughter. Mrs. M. E. Heacock, Mrs. Hosford and others. At the cloBe of the programme the hall was cleared and light refresh ments were spread on tables, and the re mainder of the evening was spent in a social way. MAY ERECT ROADHOUSE. Fred T.

A Parliamentary pa per Issued today giving the correspond ence relative to the evacuation of Shang hai by the troops of the powers interested, only confirms the information on the sub ject previously cabled In these dispatches. The mdst striking point Is the directness with which Foreign Secretary Lansdowne instructs Minister .Satow at Pekln to In form Prince Cheng, president of the Chi nese Foreign Office, "that his duplicity In agreeing, to Germany's conditions regard Ing the Yangtse Valley, while slmultane ously Informing Great Britain that ho knew nothing thereof." was deeply resent ed and that Great Britain would not be bound by any pledges of the Chinese Gov ernment or the Viceroy s whereby British freedom of action to maintain order and British Interests in the Yangtse Valley would ba limited A similar notification was sent, to Ger many, Lord Lansdowne stating that the principle of the "open door" on which Germany based the proposed conditions, wa3 sufficiently safeguarded by the exist ing lnteragreemcnt.

A Simple Course of Treatment Told In Every-Day Lnngnase, Free From Scientific Terms. Half the people ki the world have stomach trouble in a greater or less de gree, usually it comes rrom irregular or hasty eating, sometimes from other causes. But there Is Just one way to treat it, and that can be found in a booklet which the Dr. Williams Medi cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., will send free to any address upon request. Mrs. Edith Benedict, of Groton, Mass., is one of the many who took this course of treatment and was cured. She says: "I had suffered from constipation ever since about the time my little girl was born, about 12 years ago, and it finally became chronic. It Isn't necessary for me to tell you the trouble it gave me, but I suffered all the time. Doctors gave me no permanent relief, and I kept getting worse. "At last, something more than a year ago", when I was all run down and my blood in a horrible condition, my .mother told me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale -People, -which she said had ac complished wonderful results with her. I purchased eome and took them ac cording to directions, and in a short time saw a decided improvement. I contin ued their use, and they cured me." If you are suffering from any disorder of the stomach, write for their free booklet, entitled "What to Eat and How to Eat." It contains information that should be in the hands of 'every person who Is suffering from a disordered di gestion. It treats of the proper selec tion and preparation of food, the relative-value and digestibility of various food products; it contains a chapter on the use of alcohol, and gives a course of treatment by which constipation may be overcome without the use of cathartics. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple, the medicine which cured Mrs. Benedict and thousands of others, are an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from Impoverished blood or weakened, unstrung nerves, two fruitful causes of nearly all . the aliments to which mankind is heir. They may be had of any druggist, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a, box, six boxes for $2 50, by the Dr. "Will lams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
