Kat to Remain a Reformer. Acting Detective Tom Kay, the recognized head of Portland's famous "moral squad," is too valuable in his present position to be detached and placed in uniform to do patrol duty, according to Chief of Police Gritzmarher. Acting Detective ; Kay stated in The Oregonlan that he was weary of reforming Portland's half-world an;l Kii!?ested that he would be glad to pet hack into the "harness," otherwise atnl duty. "Will you grant Kay's wish and put him in uniform?" was asked of Chief of Police Gritzmacher. "Not that 1 know of," replied the Chief. "I haven't heard of any such intention. Kay is valuable where he Is and, so far as I am concerned, he will remain a re former." According to Acting Detective Kay. he is tired of his special duty be cause of the long, unbroken hours he has to work to accomplish anything, and, further, he says that for the salary of jm a month the Job is too strenuous altogether. Yot'so Men's Club for Albina. The men of St. Mary's Parish, Albina, have organized a young men's club and are now preparing to construct a club house on their recently acquired prop erty on Morris street. The new clubhouse is not as elaborate as the Y. M. C. A. building, but will be run along much the sume lines. The building will cost about ir.0OO and will have ail the best arrangements of an up-to-date clubhouse. There will be a large auditorium, library, swimming pool, bowling alley, lodge room and gymnasium. In order to give the movement the-proper start there will be a mass meeting of the citizens next Friday evening in the Hill block at Wil liams avenue and Russell street. Mayor Lane, Archbishop Christie, Judge Frazer and many other prominent men will take part in the proceedings. There will be a short musical programme. Valuable Fibb Horsd Dies. Mollle, one of the most valuable animals in the service of the Portland Fire Department, died suddenly yesterday and there is grief among the men at F.ngine-House No. 1, where she was a general favorite. Mollle whs the big mare who pulled In the cen ter of the trio on Knglne No. 1. She weighed more than 1600 pounds, and had been In the service so long that she knew her work thoroughly. Horses that can do competent service in the fire depart ment are scarce and therefore hard to replace. They must be heavy and strong. but It is no less Important that they be intelligent and speedy. Several of the animals now with the various companies have become too old to give the best service, and Chief Campbell is now look ing for animals to take their places." W. C. T. U. Social Meeting. Central V. C. T. U. held a social meeting yes terday afternoon at the rooms, 60ti Good nough building. Mrs. Ada Unruh pre sided in the absence of the president.

Remon strance was filed yesterday by the Haw thorne estate against the improvement of Kast Taylor between Kast Ninth and l-.'ast Kleventh streets. This improvement includes the tilling of Asylum Creek. It is contended by the rcmonstralor that the lllling at this time would cost heavily. No remonstrances were tiled against the improvements on East Sixth street at the south end. or against the improve ment of Kast Slnrk between Water and Seventh. The latter improvement is a big fill, the most extensive yet under taken in the city, and tho cost is esti mated by the City Knginecr at K3.000. The illls on Kast Sixth street are between Washington and Oak and across the Stephens Slough. Both are very ex tensive embankments. Robert Balfour Here. Robert Bal four, of Iondon, head of the firm of Bal four. Guthrie At Co.. is a guest at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Balfour is a mem ber of Parliament. He is in Portland ostensibly on a pleasure trip and will remain here several days.

Mount ed Policeman Joe Keller yesterday per formed the remarkable stunt of shoot ing a horse with a broken leg, thereby causing a runaway of another steed, after which he galloped off at a hot pace, caught the fleeing animal, brought it back to its owner and turned it over to him uninjured. Keller's feat of yes terday was somewhat similar to a stunt he did last week, when he chased a run away horse 20 blocks and finally captured it. Policeman Keller was sent to Fif teenth and Hoyt streets to shoot a horse belonging to the Portland Transfer Com pany. It had a broken leg, and when the officer fired his revolver to dispatch the suffering animal a horse owned by Dr. S. C. Carney, hitched to a light rig nearby, dashed off at a furious pace. After having completed the duty he was sent to perform. Policeman Keller quick ly mounted his horse and dashed away in hot pursuit of the runaway, which he caught at Fifteenth and Thurman streets. Reception to Bishop Scaddixo. The Portland public will have an opportunity to welcome Bishop Scadding at a gen eral reception to the distinguished churchman to be held tonight at the Hotel Portland. The hours are from 8 to 10 and a large reception committee from the Portland Episcopal churches will be on hand to make the people of the city acquainted with the prelate. Governor Chamberlain and Mayor Lane will attend and will deliver addresses of welcome. The committee from the city churches is made up of the following: St. Stephen's Church Mrs. B. T. Or Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Ramsdell: St. Mark's Mrs. J. E. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Hastings; Trinity Mrs. A. A. Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. J. McCraken; St. David's Mrs. George B. Van Waters, Dr. and Mrs. Josephi; St. Matthew's Mrs. W. A. M. Bresla. The general pub lic is invited. Yesterday Was "Wrioht" Day. "While yesterday was 'skldoo' day, this has been a 'Wrishf day," mused Deputy County Clerk Cupid Rose last night as he packed away the marriage license book among the musty records in the vault. "Why?" asked one of the trfnid young women deputies. "Well," came the re ply, "Claude C. Wright came all the way from Applegate, Or., to marry Miss Rose Ficklin, and he paid his 3 for the license today; Charles C. Myers had selected this as the day upon which he wished to wed, so he chose Miss Laura Wright to be his better half; then J. M, Wright came along a few minutes ago and acted as a witness to testify that Miss Ella May was old enough to marry Frank Qulnn. Out of the eight licenses issued today, the name of Wright was connected with three of them." Warrant for Thomas Cowan. Charg ing larceny by embezzlement, a warrant was issued out of the Municipal Court yesterday for the arrest of Thomas Cowan,' ormerly connected with the Union Laundry. He is alleged to have taken $300 belonging to the concern and is now a fugitive from Justice. Cowan is said to have embezzled the $300 in various sums at different times, and it is claimed his employers knew that he had taken some of their funds but gave him an opportunity to settle. Instead of so doing, it is now charged, he stole more and escaped. The police are look ing for him, but it is believed that he got out of the city yesterday and that he is now in Chehalis, Wash., from which place he may be returned hereB if ar rested. Mails Delayed by Storm. People of Portland, while they have not felt the storm that has pervaded the West, Mid dle West and East, will not escape its effects. No chilling winds will hurry their footsteps, but when they look for letters from the East and they fail to arrive, the expectant ones will know that after all they have suffered from the storms. All of the mails from the East are from 12 to 48 hours late and in con sequence there are breakers ahead for Postmaster Minto and his army of clerks. As it is now the force of clerks is hardly large enough to take care of the mails when they are on time. In a day or two the delayed mails w-ill arrive and the clerks at the Postoffice will be swamped. Actors' Open Air Concert. Ten act ors, chiefly from local stock and vaude ville houses, gave an open air concert at the Morrison-street entrance of the Portland Hotel at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and in consequence four of them landed in the tolls on charges of disor derly conduct. Frank Fanning and George Trimble were among the victims of police interference. The other two passed unrecognized, being booked under assumed names. Ten dollars bail se cured them their release, but when their cases were called in Police Court later in the day Judge Cameron remitted the bail, warning the quartet of thespians to forego a repetition of the public concert. Lectures on "Hamlet." The opening lecture of the course under the auspices of the Sellwood Library Association was given in the Sellwood Presbyterian Church Tuesday evening in the presence of an appreciative audience by J. D. Stephens. His subject was, "Character of Hamlet." with readings from the play. Mr. Stephens gave an outline of the play and its purport, and then rendered selec tions. At the close he acted out the grave scene realistically with pick and shovel. It was a treat and the members of the association were pleased. Next lecture will be by Rev. J. A. P. MeGraw, D. D., in the Sellwood Methodist Church, on "Traps," November 20. Taken III at Depot. Mrs. Claud M. Berry. of Walla Walla, was taken sud denly ill at the Union Depot last night about 6 o'clock. She was on her way to Los Angeles in company with her two small children. The Y. W. C. A. Travel ers' Aid Association had her removed to the Cascade Hotel, whero she is being cared for by Dr. Spencer. It was Mrs. Berry's intention to depart for the South tonight, but It is doubtful whether she will be able to go farther. This is an other instance of the good work belngj done by the Travelers Aid Society and shows the necessity for an emergency fund. Montavilla Circle. At the meeting of the Montavilla Circle of the Home Train ing Society at the Montavilla Schoolhouse last evening Mtss Gray gave an enter taining and instructive talk on "The Juvenile Court and Its Work." Being connected with that court. Miss Gray was able to impart much information. Offi cers for the year are as follows: Presi dent, Mrs. D. B. Dickinson; vice-presi dent, Mrs. I. Sullivan; secretary, Mtss Agnes Matlock; treasurer, Mrs. N. W Bowland. Two meetings are held each month, and the next meeting will take place Friday afternoon, November 2. Ilfeld-Ross Nuptials. Miss Bessie M. Ross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ross, of Portland, was married last night to Arthur C. llfeld. a whole sale merchant of Las Vegas, N. M. The wedding occurred at the residence of Dr. A. A. Morrison and the couple left immediately afterwards for a trip through Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. llfeld will make their home at Las Vegas. Mrs. llfeld for many years resided at Las Vegas with her parents, who moved to Portland a year ago last April. To Pave Fill With Crushed Rock. The Urand-avonue embankment will be paved with crushed rock as soon as the work can be done. A committee from the Fast Side Business Men's Club called on City Engineer Taylor yesterday, and he gave assurance that the embankment would be paved as soon as possible. Half Block Is Sold.

REVOLUTION N THE MEAT TRADE Portland Retailers Said to Be Leaving Support of the "Trust." STORMY MEETING IS HELD Butchers Will Buy and Sell Supplies as They Please Frank Ii. Smith's Opinion of the Big Packers' Practices. There Is much excitement in the re tail meat trade of Portland, and what some of the dealers regard as a revo lution seems to be under way. Numer ous meetings of the Retail Meat Deal ers' Association, of this city, have been held of late, and at the last, which was held In Allsky HaU, such a formidable front was put up by a portion of the association that the entire policy of that body seems to have been altered. It has been asserted by the independ ent element, which is opposed to the so-called "meat trust" of Portland, that the association's principal excuse for existence was to -keep its members strictly in line as customers of the two big packing establishments, and that this was done by a system of fines that effectually prevented the smaller trad ers from breaking away and buying their suplies where they would. The cutting of retail prices and ad vertising them publicly, either through the papers pr by. means of placards, was also prohibited, so it is said, by the by-laws of the association. This latter part of the programme met with a sud den check at the Alisky Hall meeting, when a small but determined majority refused to stand for such practices. The ultimatum of the minority mem bers that they would ho.'eafter conduct their business according to their own ideas or withdraw in a body from the association, had the effect, it is said, of causing the" abolishment of the rule, and now the retailers of Portland can make such prices to their customers as they see fit. Smith Heads Trust Bustiers. The head and front of the .opposition is Frank L. Smith. whose motto, "Fighting the Beef Trust," is suffi ciently well known. Mr. Smith is not only a retailer, but a Jobber and slaughterer as well. A numtter of the other large retailers, who do not have slaughtering facilities, he states, have already applied to him for supplies, and from the way the independents talk, it seems to be only a lack of grit that prevents all the other butchers of the city from withdrawing their patronage from the trust that Mr. Smith is fight ing so hard. In discussing: meat conditions in Portland, Mr. Smith minces no words. He declares he is not afraid of the "trust." and is not affected one way or another by its attitude toward the other dealers. Yet his heart is with the butchers in any fight they put up against the bis packers. Says System Is Iniquitous. "The system put in practice by the beef trust of this city is the most in iquitous I have ever heard of," said Mr. Smith last night. "I cannot understand how any self- respecting man could allow himself to be yoked to it. I would rather take my family to a homestead and breath the free piney air of the hills than try to do business under another man's thumb, as is the case with the man who is con- trolled by the beef trust. "The beef trust of this city is virtually the Union Meat Company, which is now financed by the Swifts, of Chicago, and Oak Street Social Happenings Festival in Honor of Mr. Joss Mr. Act Irish Nimrod Plans MR. JOSS, the well-known Chinese gentleman, is being extensively en tertained this week by Oak-street Oriental circles, wherein he is a popular idol. Mr. Joss has charge of the queued counter in the destiny department of the universe, and in this service he has done some exceptionally good work the past season. Among other things, he has en abled the coterie of Chinese gentlemen who look to him for salvation and opium, to enjoy a most prosperous and propitious twelve months, and his management of his department, has been generally satis factory. It is as a public benefactor that Mr. Joss chiefly commends himself to the Oriental public, for he holds the Portland agency for Paradise Home, a wonderfully ethereal and hallucinary retreat for eld erly and invalid peo ple. This Is one of the most beautiful and most desirable resorts in the world, according to the Ori ental idea of the thing. All very old and very sick per sons who so deserve, are forwarded there by fast mail by Mr. Joss. The' climatic conditions are ideal, scenery unsurpassed, and life is reputed to be one long round of loafing, fan tan and dope. These esthetic pastimes appeal with peculiar force to the Oriental heart, and all truly representative Chinese gentlemen are careful "to maintain favor with Mr. Joss and thus remain on the membership list. To remain on this membership list the requirements are somewhat peculiar, though not immeasurably at variance with Occidental customs. Opium-eating, steal ing, gambling, gin-drinking and other effete little social pleasantries are con doned by His Highness as necessary to break the dull monotony of life. But a tendency to withhold shekels from the good of the cause is inexcusable, even beyond murder. Coins are carefully so licited under Mr. Joss" patronage and taken in charge by a few of his personal advisers, counselors and friends. These eminent financiers utilize the cash in keep ing the Celestial lawns mown and in buy ing wheat for the lyre birds in the avia ries of Paradise. Mr. Joss is guest of honor at daily thanksgiving ceremonies all this week. He is a handsome and distinguished in dividual, from the Oriental viewpoint. An eminent judge of beauty once said of him that he could easily take first prize in a beauty competition for specially selected baby gorillas. JM R. ISADORE GEGGENHEIM, the 1 I well-known Danish hop-fiend, is reg istered at the Cameron, making prelim inary arrangements for a three-months' a few local slaughterers who were told it were better to 'stand in' with the trust than to take any stand against it But the dirty work of the trust went on long before the arrival of the Swifts. For several years back we have spent time, money and strength in throwing out these one-sided meat ordinances that have made their appearance at the City Council periodically, some of which were suspiciously backed by the United States Government Meat Inspectors. And then again I have John O'Shea's crwn word that he had no trouble in controlling the Portland Union Stockyards, which is the central depot for all stock arrivals and where, it would be supposed, any slaugh terer who could put up the price could purchase the stock but nay, nay; things are run differently there. I have long ago abandoned the yards and I am pull ing all my supplies from the famous Eastern Oregon ranges. I have a train load coming today. "Cold-Blooded Villainy." "But for real cold-blooded villainy one must get down to the trust's dealings with the retail butchers of this city. Here are the people to whom the trust must look for patronage. Should they care to, they could take the weapon in their own hands and say, 'You must come to our terms if you wish a share of our patron age. We will buy where we like; we will sen to whom we please; we are aoie to take care of ourselves.' The butchers of San Francisco did this, and although the Swifts have been located there for over ten years, I doubt if they have ever made a dollar. It is the one town where you never hear of a man being ruined by the beef trust. "I have in mind a retail butcher of this city, a very estimable man who conducts his shop with strict economy. This Fall while his wife and children were pick ing hops, trying to earn money for school books and clothes, the trust sent their agent to this man and through threats, intimidations and the like compelled him to hand over a fine to the trust simply because this retail butcher had purchased some meat from me. "Since then the trust has grown bolder and bolder, and it is only last week that It collected a considerable sum of money from various retailers who had displeased them. The money was not given up will inglyit was simply gouged from these men under threats. Did you ever hear of such high-handed robbery? Trust Claims Water FrorA Trade. "There is a retail butcher on First street who undertook to supply meat for ships coming into the harbor. He was told, "Hands off! That business belongs exclusively to the Union Meat Company." "That is the way the trust drives the retail butchers to the wall. It has tried to monopolize all the best trade such as the Government contracts, the ships and ocean steamers, the river boats, the hos pitals, the dining-cars, the best hotels and restaurants, and even fthen it has its own retail shops scattered through the city. The balance of the trade is thrown at its patrons as you would throw a bone to a hungry dog, saying, "Take this and don't growl about it. . "When I started out to fight the trust I appealed to the general public, the plain people who despise the trusts. I have succeeded so well that I am now en larging my quarters and in a week's time will be able to take care of three times my present volume, of business. When I started out to fight, the trust promised its patrons to surely put me on the quiet. Now its present worry is how to stop me from busting them." GIRL SERIOUSLY STABBED Fred Bouthlllier Attacks Miss May Vernon With a Knife. While Fred Bouthlllier was engaged in a quarrel with Miss May Vernon in her apartments at the Rosamond House, at 2 o clock yesterday afternoon, she opened the window and called to Policemen Mai- lett and Anderson to come to her assist ance. This so enraged Bouthlllier, who is a notorious character of the North End jjistrict, that he drew a pocket-knife ana Degan siasning tne woman with It, She was seriously, but not fatally hurt. When the officers entered the room they louna lioutniiiier and Miss Vernon en gaged in a fierce struggle. They arrested the assailant, charging him with assault with a deadly weapon, and placed him in the City Jail. Dr. A. Tllzer was called to examine the woman, and said that one stab in the back, had it been two inches higher, would have proved fatal. The woman was sent to a hospital. She has Hartley's Altruism Leads to Noble to Hunt for Big Game. huntlnc triD.

ThCS fM-nMnna IuqIi are reported as quite plentiful in the oievens district tms year, and Mr. Geg genheim should meet with great luck dur- iug ins IlUIlt. HOULD a young social leader, who has every advantage that wealth and position can give, be distant in his deal ings with the mere plebeian classes? Does the altruistic spirit, even in its broader sense, imply that such a gentleman should commingle with those who are hoDelesnlv nis lnieriors in the social scale? These questions have aroused no end of discussion in Oak-street circles of late. In consequence of a humane little act on the part of that genial young social hippo potamus, Mr. George Hartley. Mr. Hartley has long been known as a man or tine polish. In fact, his most ardent admirers will contend that his pol- lsn is more nmsnea man that of any oth er bootblack in Portland. He is also an extensive patron of art, and spends much of his large income for the costly master pieces that accompany oyster and fruit cans. These things assuredly qualify Mr. Hartley for entree to the most select so ciety. But while this is his social attitude, Mr. Hartley performed a little act recent ly that revealed a well-defined, demo cratic, altruistic spirit. It was a refuta tion of that exciusiveness so character istic of social leaders. Chancing to ob serve an elderly gentleman staggering along under a heavy burden of years and spirits frumenti, Mr. Hartley's heart was touched. Here was a fellow human, aged. Jagged, full of sorrow and Bourbon. He plainly had more than he could carry with comfort, and the strain told pitifully on the bent old frame. Mr. Hartley stepped nobly forward, for ge tlul ot social in equalities. He was swept by an ardent desire to help an other. He looked carefully up and down the ancient mariner's burden and then decided to re lieve him of the crushing weight of an 18-karat gold watch, which bulged heavily from a vest pocket. Mr. Hartley carried the telling weight for many weary blocks, and the Incident did not come to an end until the young gentleman arrived, nearly exhaust ed, at the Cameron, where he took apart ments. Mr. Hartley has refused a Carnegie medal for the noble act, and asserts he will decline a nomination to the next Leg islature. But his altruism, while bringing reproach from the more conservative, will long be remembered by Mr. Hartley's Oak-street friends. .

Would-Be Policemen Elame Timers Candidates for Force AVn Failed to Make 10O Yards in 15 Seconds Say Time Wan Not Properly Caught. APROPOS of the running tests held on Multnomah Field Tuesday afternoon, when 27 candidates attempted to meet the athletic qualification required for en trance to the police department. Mayor Lane has received repeated complaints from those who failed and who allege that their misfortune was due, not to their Inability to run 100 yards in 15 sec onds, but to' incompetency of the timers. Those who held the stop-watches on the would-be "cops" are Robert Withrow and James Sayre, local newspaper men. Just to help out their friend. O. L. Mc pherson, secretary of the Civil Service Commission, they agreed to preside at the tape at Multnomah Field, while the aspi rants put forth all the speed of which they were capable, while visions of blue coats with brass buttons enticed them on. They told Mr. McPherson of the nu merous times they had served as officials at Intercollegiate field meets, and antici pated no difficulty in giving satisfaction. But they found that they had a critical set of athletes to deal with, and are now denying the old saying that public service is a private snap, especially when there is no salary attached. ' The men who failed to do the sprint in the maximum time, allowed are very de cided in their protests. They assert that one of the timers caught them at the flash of the gun, while the other waited for the report, and have other criticisms to offer. They kept the Mayor busy an swering the telephone yesterday, and when told that their only recourse was with the Civil Service Commission, said thev would anneal to that body. The class of candidates, like John Brown's little Indians, keep dwindling away. Of the 49 applicants who entered, only IS succeeded in qualifying for the mental examination yesterday. The re sults of this will not be known until they are reported at the meeting of the Civil Service Commission, but it is safe to say. fromprevious records, that few more than a half-dozen will ever Join Port land's finest.
