CECIL LAMONT'S SUICIDE Tired of Life and With Xo Means to Purchase Weapon, She Adopts a Ruse, Which Succeeds. Tired of life and with no means of pur chasing a ready mode of exit, Cecil La mont, a handsome woman, of 27 years, worked out a well-planned scheme for meeting the grim reaper yesterday fore noon. 9he succeeded in her plan. Her body is now at the morgue awaiting claimants. Yesterday forenoon, having decided that life was a farce not worth carrying any further, the woman went to the Portland sun and bicycle store. 233 Yamhill street She had seemingly decided on the gun route of death. Having but 20 cents to her name, she was not in a position to purchase the necessary weapon. A little strategy served her quite as well, how ever. Asks to Examine Revolver. 'I would like to examine your revolv ers." she said to Fred Clodius, one of the proprietors. "I am thinking of making a camping trip and wish a revolver." Not suspecting the grim nature of the trip which the young woman said she wished to take, Mr. Clodius put his atock of weapons at her disposal. A neat weapon, of 38 caliber, wae selected by her. "Is there some place that I can try this revolver?" she said, calmly. Clodius said that the basement could be used for that purpose. C. F. Johnson, the other member of the firm, who had come in, offered to show her Into the basement. As he loaded the gun she seated herself, lighted a cigarette and watched him com posedly and with passive interest. When the weapon was ready the two passed into the basement. The woman took the re volver clumsily in her hand. Mr. Johnson showed her how to handle it, and stepped across the basement to tack up a target. As he did so a deafening report rang out. Ha turned to see the woman fall to the ground, the smoking weapon in her hand. He ran to her as she was gasping her last. She had driven the bullet fairly through her brain. She died almost im mediately. Body Taken to Morgue. The police and Coroner Flnley were called and the body was taken to the morgue. The only means of identification was a scrap of paper upon which was written "Mrs. Thompson, The Cosmos." Mrs. Thompson was found and she promptly identified the woman. Her room at the Idan Ho. Taylor and Third streets, was then located. Her effects consisted of a bunch of letters and a few trinkets. Poverty undoubtedly brought on the fatal fit of morbidness. Friends say she was given to despondency. She had been in the city but a few days, coming here from Vancouver, B. C. She is thought to be one of the Lamont sis ters. Vancouver actresses, who left the stage several years ago. Her parents are thought to live in Pendleton at this time. The police at that point have been asked to bunt for them. SHIRT SALE.

KIENLAN MUST PAY FINE Executive Board Orders That Insur ance of City Hall Be With Company That Pays San IVanclsco Losses. The assault of Patrolmen Isakson and Kienlen upon five petty officers of the warships' Chicago and Princeton and three civilians June 15 has turned out to 'be a costly affair for the two policemen. Upon recommendation of the Police Com mission, the Executive Board at its meet ing yesterday afternoon ordered Isakson discharged from the force and penalized Kienlan of all salary for the month of June. The ruling will be final unless an appeal is taken to the Municipal Civil Service Commission. Two reasons were advanced by the commission for giving Isakson a heavier penalty than his fellow officer. In the first place it was held that Isakson, as the senior patrolman, was more at fault In the assault, and in addition a separate charge of brutality toward Nels Nelson had been filed against him. In the latter charge he was accused of knocking Nel son down and breaking his arm. Nelson testified before the commission that he was perfectly sober at the time he was assaulted and that his only offeoss was to ask the policeman if he might take home his brother, who had been arrested for drunkenness. Against both Isakson and Kienlan the commission sustained the charges of com mitting acts of unjustifiable abuses and otherwise acting In a manner unbecoming an officer, finding In all fiva counts against them. The trial has received more than usual attention because many prominent of ficials of the Elks Lodge have been called upon to testify for the officers of the warships. The patrolmen swore that the men from the ships were drunk and dis orderly at the time of the trouble, but many prominent citizens testified that they were perfectly sober when they left the Elks' Club a short time before the assault. The trouble occurred in the North End and the only person to give Important testimony for the defense was the manager of the notorious Paris House. The men from the warships mak ing the complaint were Officers Falconer, Henry, Lelssraan, Snell and Adams. No Six-Bit Insurance. It was made clear that the Executive Board is not going to give the insurance business on city buildings to companies who have cut down their payments in San Francisco. A renewal of a Jpoo policy on the City Hall came up for con sideration and the matter was referred to the City Hall committee with instruc tions that the policy should be given to some company which had paid its San Francisco claims in full. "We do not want to encourage any of those 'six-bit' companies who are attempting to crawl out of paying their losses in San Fran cisco," said Mayor Lane, and this view met with general approval. Chief Campbell brought before the Ex ecutive board the consideration of the menace to surrounding property offered by the large raft of logs at the east end of the Burnslde-street bridge. He said that the raft would prevent the landing of the fireboat if a conflagration should break out in that vicinity and that there would be no way of protecting the bridge. After considerable discussion the matter was left in the hands of the ftre committee for investigation, and ac tion will probably he taken at the next meeting. The same matter was brought before the board before and the owner of the raft, the Standard Box Factory, main tained that it would be compelled to go out of business if forqed to remove the raft. The owners said that they were willing to take the risk of a fire to their property, but the Executive Board is not so certain that the city can afford to risk the destruction of the bridge. City Attorney McNary assured the board that the city had power to keep the river clear to the harbor ine, and it is probable that the removal of the raft will be in sisted upon, as It is 'considered a great menace to property In the vicinity. The board has a problem to face In securing a site for . fire engine-house in North Portland in the vicinity of the terminal yards. The Terminal Company has offered to lease a lot of their grounds between Hoyt and Irving streets to the city for 20 years, but the board objeots to building upon leased ground. As sev eral streets have been vacated for the use of the Terminal Company and as it is occupying' several others without any grant the members of the board are dis posed to ask for a donation of the de sired site. It was intimated that If this is refused the Terminal Company will be compelled to give over part of one of the streets that it occupies. Improvement of East Stark. The improvement of East Stark street was again referred to the street commit tee. This fill has been postponed many times, and is now held up by a proposi tion from Thomas McCusker and L. T. Keady to make the improvement free of charge if they receive the franchise for a subway under the Willamette River for which they have applied. M. M. Rudolph, W. T. Patton and 3. O. Portwood were appointed patrolmen, and the board named W. M. Hunter, K L. Bernard, Daniel Connors, Arthur Carey and Charles Skidmore special patrolmen for service at the Oaks. Bids on street improvements were re ceived as follows: First street, the War ren Construction Company, 136,478; East Burnslde street. Warren Construction Company, J17,003; Second street.

After attending what he says was the biggest and best convention the Christian Scientists of America ever held, David B. Ogden returned this week from Boston Mr. Ogden was accompanied by his wife and says the Portland delegates, 39 In number, are returning by different routes and will reach home at different times. Mr. and Mrs. Ogden are the first of the Portland party to return. "A unique thing about the building of the Christian Science temple that was dedicated by the convention," said Mr. Ogden, "was the fact that the $2,000,000 that the edifice cost was all raised by voluntary subscription from Christian Scientists all over the world. Old meth ods of raising money for church build ing were departed from and prior to the dedication the secretary was compelled to send out notices through the church paper that he would receive no more funds for the temple, as the necessary money had all been raised. "The temple is a splendid structure and is the home of what is known all over the world as the "mother church.' It seats over 6000 people. while the old church accommodates from 12.000 to 15.000. The temple was filled to its capacity six times on the Sunday of the dedica tion of the church. It Is estimated that 25,000 people outside of Boston were pres ent at the dedicatory exercises. 'On the closing night of the conven tion, ten meetings were held simultane ously in different parts of the city to accommodate the crowds. This service was given over to personal testimonials by members of the church and was impressive." . Buys Washington-Street Property. Mrs. Margaret S. Ainsworth purchased yesterday the property upon whiah the stables of the City Messenger and De livery Company are located,. on the east side of Twelfth street, 100 feet north of Washington. The building occupies a piece of ground 100x80. Although the exact consideration has not been made public. It is understood that It is about $30,000. ThO'sale was made through the office of Whiting & Rountree. EASTERN EXCURSIONS.
