President Will Review Year's Work Tonight. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES Annual Meeting of Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club Will Be At tended by the Transaction of Much Important Business. The nmial meeting of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club will he held to night. The election of five trustees to serve two years will take place, and also the Teadinir of the annual report of President Oeorg-e W. Simons and the re ports of the various committees. Some time ago a nominating committee re lented the following list of candidates, and they will be voted on tonlpht: George W. McMillan. H. C. Campbell. Edgar Frank. Edward Morgan and J. R. Rodg er.". The president of the club Is to be elected by the board of directors, and among the various candidates that have been mentioned Is George McMillan. In Ms annual report President Simons, after briefly reviewing the history of the club, and calling attention to -its finan cial condition, suggests a plan carrying the clubs Indebtedness. On this point President Simons in part makes the fol lowing suggestion: "Including the pay ments that we have made during the year ending January 31, 1907, J23.000 has been paid upon the prlnoipal, leaving $35. and It Is hoped that our present pros perous condition will be maintained so that the Indebtedness will be reduced in accordance with the terms of our agree ment. "The 6cottish-American Investment Company entered into a very favorable form of agreement when the property ws purchased by this club, and we must comply wilii the term, thereof. I will suggest that this indebtedness be taken over and be carried by the club members, young and old. This can be easily done If bonds in the denomination of $100 or J.VI0, be issued with 5 per cent interest coupons attached thereto. The money given over to the treasurer by the sale of these bonds would cancel all of our obligations, and the interest earned by the bonus paid over to our club mem bers. This is a strictly business propo sition and should not be considered In the light of a donation. A certain number of bonds could be retired annually by allot ment after a definite period, reduoing thereby the interest charge as well as the bonded Indebtedness. I am positive that this plan will appeal to the older mem bers of the club, and receive their hearty approval. It should also receive a simi lar indorsement from the younger element in the club, for there is a large majority of young men who should take advantage of this opportunity to purchase at least one $100 bond. I believe that this move ment would be very popular, and It Is hoped that the administration of 1907 will adopt a plan of this kind so that the obligations of the club will be directly to Its members. "The interest on the notes with all of the cost of Improvements and current ex penses from every' source have been regu larly paid. The club has grown in every way since its inception." On the matter of public playgrounds for children, a project which the club is vitally Interested in. Mr. Simons says: "I trust that the Multnomah Amateur AUiletic Club will push this cause of pub lic playgrounds, and be identified hi that work until the matter has assumed defi nite shape and is turned over to a com mission that will have entire charge of the development of the work in this olty."

K SUTRO GETS DIME DECREE IS HANDED DOWN IN , COLUMBIA COUNTY. Son of Adolph Sutro, San Francisco Millonalre, Divides Property With Wife. Upon the grounds of desertion, Henri etta 1j. B. Sutro was granted a divorce from Edgar E. Sutro, son of the famous Adolph Sutro, of San. Francisco, now de ceased, by a decree entered last week in the Circuit Court of Columbia County. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sutro live in San Francisco, but to prevent publicity they sought out St. Helens. By the terms of the property settlement Mrs. Sutro re ceives what is known as the Battery street property, a building of high value in San Francisco, and about 20 per cent of her husband's inheritance of $230,000. Mr. and Mrs. Sutro were the only wit nesses to testify, but there was much documentary evidence in the way of note3 and letters which were offered by Mrs. Sutro. The names of several San Fran cisco women were dragged into the pro ceedings, principally among them being the name of Miss Nan Fitzgerald. It was alleged that Sutro had been in the custom of going on prolonged sprees with Miss Fitzgerald, and that he was on Intimate relations with many wo men of the under world. It was alleged that Sutro struck his wife on the streets of San. Francisco on July 4. 1906. Sutro entered denials to the most important of the charges. The marriage of the couple took place at Cape Town, South Africa, June 21, 1890. She was a bookkeeper In a hotel and was courted by Sutro for about a year and a half. It was one of those "true love" marriages and Sutro was wealthy, while his bride possessed prac tically nothing. LARGE SHIPMENT OF MAIL Three Cars Containing 150,000 Pounds Reach Portland. What is believed to be the largest in stallment of mail ever received in Port land arrived last night over the O. R. & N. train No. 1. d-ue here at 7:30 o'clock, but which was five hours late. The mail occupied three cars and It was estimated by those who saw it that there was be tween 150.000 and 175.000 pounds. The unusual quantity of mall was made up largely of that Tvhlch has been stalled along the line by floods and landslides, and today thousands of people in Port land will read belated letters and news papers from the East. In the cars there was also a number of pouches sent out from Portland several days ago and which have now been returned to be transferred to the northern route. Although the bulk of the mall was papers and packages, there was also enough letters to make extra work for the postal carriers. In the consignment were 100 full sacks of letters for Port land alone. 0. R. & N. LINE CLEAR AGAIN Avalanche Knocks Train Off Track and Buries Road. The main line of the O. R. & N. was cleared yesterday after having again been blocked for a day by a landslide at Eagle Creek, near Bonneville. Trains ran on time yesterday and no further trouble is anticipated. The "Washington division is still tied up by slides and washouts and it may be several days before traffic will resume over that division, although operating officials were hopeful yester day that the Spokane train would be able to get away tonight. The slide at F.agle Creek was a sen sational one. occuring as a freight train was passing. Tons of loose rock cas caded down the mountain side, striking the train and hurling it bodily from the track. Freight cars were piled up be tween the railroad and the river in great confusion. The train was going at average speed when the accident happened, but for tunately no one was hurt. The big boul ders rolling down from the mountain knocked the trucks from under the freight cars and piled them up beside the track. It is supposed that the Jarring of the ground by the train started the ava lanche. The westbound train was forced to transfer its ' passengers to Portland by boat from the slide Sunday, and the eastbound night train was annulled on account of the blockade. Wires are still down along the Colum bia and communication is still very badly Interrupted. . Details of conditions up the river are not obtainable, but It is thought that it will be weeks before the tracks can be put In as good condition as be fore the storm of last week. General Superintendent Buckley Is still directing repair work in the interior, and General Manager O'Brien will go out today to inspect the main line and see what Is necessary to be done In the way of rebuilding certain parts of the line that have been demolished. RECEIVED STOLEN STAMPS K. A. Nichols, Albina Drug Clerk, Arrested by Federal Authorities. R. A. Nichols, a drug clerk employed at his father's store in Albina, was arrested yesterday afternoon by the Federal authorities. Nichols Is charged with having received stolen stamps, and his arrest was due to the fact that Nichols could not explain what he had done with about $15 worth of stamps that he had bought from Eggleston, one of the men now in the tolls for having had a hand in disposing of the spoils of the St. Johns and Sellwood postofflce robberies. Nichols was released on $500 cash bond. The Federal officers, after receiving many promises from Nichols that he would return the stolen stamps he had speculated in. grew tired waiting for him to produce the stamps. According to the officials, Nichols, like Gilbride. Eggle Bton and the rest of those who sought to make money in trafficking in stolen stamps, were suddenly stricken with bad memories. At first the Government authorities were loath to place these men under arrest, and they were given every opportunity to return the property. Nichols, like the rest, made many prom ises, but he procrastinated until yester day, when he was placed under arrest. Nichols turned over the stamps after he was arrested. Dr. Morrison at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Feb. 1L Tr. A. A. Morrison, of Portland, has accepted the Invitation of Rev. D. C. Gardner to preach in the Uni versity Chapel some time this semester. The date has not been set. Schmitz-Ruef Case Goes Over. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11. The Schmitz-Ruef cases were called in Judge Dunne's court this morning, but went over until next Monday on ac count of the absence of Mayor Schmltz In the East. It is expected that Judge Dunne will dispose of the demurrers of the defendants to the Indictments at the next hearing. The conspiracy charges against Ruef and Chief of Police ninan were called In the same court, and a transcript of the testimony taken before the grand jury was offered by the defense for the purpose of showing that Assistant District Attorney Heney had testified before that body without having been, sworn as a witness. Ws pause to honor, on his birthday, Abraham Lincoln, the humanitarian, the man whom, if living today, would be lifting his voice in deliverance of the American people from their taskmasters, the trusts. He would denounce the shams of a tariff that allowed unwieldy fortunes to increase pile upon pile; he would hate the methods by which the people's Government permits the throttling of the people. But above all, his cry would ring clear against a trust that toys with the hunger of a Nation the trust's own Nation his voice would thunder against the trust that exacts its tax off the meat that goes to make the bod ily strength of the growing child, and of the man and the woman who toil. When Lincoln's masterpieces of diction are forgotten these simple, homely words will still remain: "You can fool all the people a part of the time, or a part of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."
