According to developments yesterday many Kast Side businessmen were swindled by forged checks besides It. W. Parker, the Grand avenuo grocer. On Ka.t BurnsHde street a check of ;o was passed at the grocery store of Rudolph Schmeer, and a. like check was taken at the saloon on the corner of Union avenue and East Burn side street. On Grand avenue, checks were passed on McGuire & Taylor, A. H. Willets, and at several other places between Kast Bumside street and Haw thorne avenue. The swindlers worked successfully the same scheme at these places. They went to nearly everv busi ness house on East Burnside street and Grand avenue as far south as Haw thorne avenue with bogus checks. They worked the swindle Saturday night, the busiest time or the day when there was no time to inspect the checks closelv, or make inquiries concerning them, arid in no case were the forgeries discovered by the businessmen until thev began to re.eive the checks back from the bank Indorsed "no money on deposit." Just how much cash was secured Is not known, but probably not less than $130. The scheme ia an old one. MERGER OF MONTA VILLA PtSH CLUBS. John Miller. C. T. Evans and Henry KreeborrouRh. representing the Monta villa Board of Trade, and H. B. Dickin son. H Bpton and O. E. Carter, repre senting the Montavilla Improvement J-eague. met Wednesday night and Hdopted a plan to consolidate the two (irsiinizations into one strong club. As basis of consolidation and reorganiza tion it was decided to disband both the present board and league, and form an entirely new club with a new name, new constitution, and new officers. According ly a new name wan adopted and new constitution prepared. These will- be re ported at a joiut meeting next Tuesdav ntglit. at which tJmo the name proposed will be announced. If the action of the joint committee is then approved the con solidated club will adopt the name and constitution, and then proceed with the election of new officers. It has been felt for some time in Montavilla that better work could be done through one than through two clubs at cross purposes. Visit op Fraternal Brotherhood Of-r-n-ER.

Fisher, vice-president of the streetcar men's union, the merch ants donated their fees in the case to testify to their chagrin and humuliation at the tllthy appearance of the court "furnishings."

Eastern capitalists are willing to establish glass works in Oregon to manufacture window glass exclusively, if Portland or some other city will provide a small bonus. The promoters are willing to furnish the hulk of the capital.

Woostbr's great grocery. Wash. at. Meyer Cass continued. Al Meyer, a young wrapping clerk, who was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Ben Ely. charging him with the theft of jewelry from the Ely apartments at the .Hotel Carleton, waa arraigned in the Police Court yesterday and asked for a continuance until Monday, which was granted. H. Martin, an employee of a jewelry store, who was implicated in the affair by Meyer, was examined by Deputy J3istrict Attorney Haney yesterday. .Meyer declared at the time of his arrest that he and Martin had visited the Morrison-street bridge together and at the instance of the latter he had thrown a ring belonging to Mr. Ely into the river. The only evidence against Meyer is that he had the casket which had contained the jewels in his possession, and thus far his statements as to how he acquired it have not been satisfactory to the police. JOetectives Jones and Mallet, who ar rested Meyer, are inclined to think that Martin is mixed up In the theft, although this opinion is not concurred in by the JJistrict Attorney. Gas Company Plans. The committee appointed at the last meeting of the Sell wood Board of Trade to canvass Sell wood suburb between Holgate street and the city limits south to ascertain how many will take gas from the new home company, is at work and will complete the canvass by the next meeting, when a report will be made. The company does not intend to manufacture illuminat ing gas at present, but only gas for heat ing and for power. The company will not at present enter into the larger dis tricts of the city. Its plant will be built near the East Side Sawmill, and will consume the sawdust and siabwooci from the mill. The company controls the patents as applied to the making of gas from the by-products. Women's Clvb Programme. The Wo men's Club will have a Spapish pro gramme at this afternoon's meeting, the lecture of the day to be given by Mrs. ONE-PAGE CLASSICS IN THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN The Sunday Oregtmian an nounces the publication of a series of one-page classics, the world's greatest stories, told in five thousand words. The first of the series, which will appear Sunday, is Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," condensed by Irv ing King. The writer has suc ceeded in the difficult task of retaining the characteristics and charm of the classic and makiiig the condensed version' a fasci nating tale in itself, that will be sure to hold the reader quite by its own merit. Every one wants to know enough to be able to converse about the masterpieces of literature, but only compara tively few persons have time or patience to read novels so long as are almost all the great clas sics. The publication of the stories in one-page versions will serve three purposes: It will stimulate the young to read the world's greatest authors; to those who have read them in childhood, the stories will re fresh the memory with the sa lient features of the plots; those who have not read thera will be made familiar with the world's greatest novels, from . which they can cfioose those which catch their fancy for later reading. Alice Weister who has traveled exten sively In Spain. This address will be illustrated with 75 colored steriopticon views. Mrs. Weister will be assisted toy Senor A. R. Vegas. J.

In honor of the veteran manager John F. Cordray. Satisfactory progress was made yester day by the canvassers, and more than half of the ISO.OrtO required for the build ing was reported. It would be an easy matter to place the whole issue among capitalists, but the object is to distribute the stock as widely as possible. It will take a little longer, but the committee has adopted this plan to make the theater popular with the whole of the East Side. Art Museum Opex Today. The Museum of Art.

"Slilfty" Goode.Bradlee Martin J. Stanley Lewton. ... .Harry -Hanlon Rchert Griffin..... Bert Young Mazuma Helena Salinger Ralph Carleton. . ....George Damerel Edith Proby Katlierine Bunn Mnrlbel Lewton Gnelma Baker James, a bellboy Jessie Huston Lady Stella Brighton Fltihugh Edith Yerrington Mulal Forrest Doollttle Jlmmle Dolan Fred Mace THANK you very kindly Messrs. Managers all for bringing to us last night, "The Umpire," at the Helllg. Musical comedy will not entirely perish from the earth so long as the youngsters continue to turn out tuneful tomfoolery like this, set before us by such capable mirth disseminators as Fred Mace and his associates. "The Umpire" is a Chicago production and It is new. It is on tour for the first time after a 300-performance run in Jungleville last year. It is the work of two young Chicago University students. Will Hough and Frank Adams, who are also responsible for other successes. Joe Howard wrote the music and was in a good humor when he did it. There are a number of novel features, chief of which is the scheme of making a baseball umpire the central figure. When everybody had about concluded that the material for musical comedy was all out, it remained for Hough and Adams to discover the possibilities of the unhappy baseball arbiter. The two acts transpire in Tangier. Morocco, just before the extradition treaty was signed, and the place is filled with refugee bank presidents. trust magnates and other plain and fancy crooks. The most distinguished of the lot is an umpire, who made a rank decision because he was hypnotized by a pair of pretty eyes in the grandstand. With difficulty he escaped with his life and fled to Morrocco. There he meets the girl who proves to be a daughter of a. beef-trust official, who is sojourn ing there with her father. That is the thread on which the show is strung to gether. Fred Mace, who was here .last year with "Plff, Paff, Pouf," succeeds in add ing materially to his reputation as a comedian. Eddie Foy created the part, but I am of the opinion that Mace is his equal at every point. His descrip tion of the fatal ball game comes early enough in the performance to put him on a secure footing, and last night's audience was his to have and to hold, after the first two minutes of his work. There was no kicking on tte umpire during the entire game. Although suffering from a hoarseness last night, which practically put her voice out of commission. Guelma Baker, one of the cutest soubrettes In the busi ness, is delightful as the umpire's charmer. Her singing of "Cross Your Heart." with Mace, "The Quarter-back." and "You Look Good to Father," were each decisive hits. Miss Baker played Lutle In "Peggy From Paris," here two years ago, and the local theater fans have not forgotten her. . Besides Mace the company boasts two number-one comedians, Harry Hanlon. as the German trust president, and Bradlee Martin, as his lawyer. Hanlon's accent Is a delight to listen to and he does not make the character an out rageous caricature. In spite- of the temptations, he never gets away from legitimate comedy. Edith Yerrington, as the much-divorced Lady Fitzhugh, Is a charming actress, but does not sing up to her opportunities in the two big song numbers which fall to her, "Let's Take a Trolley," and "The Drums of the Fore and Aft." Her tones are throaty and her enunciation faulty. The best voice In the feminine contingent, is that of Katherlne Bunn who sings. "I Want a Girl Like You," while the singing of "The Sun That Shines on Dixie Land," toy George Damerel and the chorusmen was the vocal feature par ex cellence. The chorus Is sprightly and good look ing and the costumes, particularly Miss Yerrlngton's gowns are stunning. Kvery line Is a laugh, and every song a whistling tune. That .can honestly be said for "The Umpire." It will run until Sunday night with a Saturday matinee. Regular saving is the one speculation that al ways wins.
