Referring to the assembly plan, be said that the people who are opposing the Republican partv are insisting that the assembly would mean the defeat of the party. "I wonder how it is that they spend so much time trying to defeat the Repub lican party and arc still so concerned re garding our welfare." declared. the speaker. "Whv should there be an objection to an assembly? A great many say that in planning for it we are trying to destroy the direct primary.

ARREST MADE AT ALTAR (Continued From First Page.) leged to have been furnished King, amounting to 133.55. he refused to pay the account. Friends to the Rescue. King's friends posted $55 cash bond, covering the principal of the alleged debt and court costs, and tho officers took' their departure, but the Incident so wrought up the wedding party that the ceremony was delayed an hour and a half. . nother wedding, that of Miss Norah Rachel Martin, of 425 West Park street, daughter of Mrs. Hannah Martin, of me Portland Realty & Trust Company, was scheduled , in the church for o'clock. The programme was reversed and the Kin nuptials were performed a" large and fashionable congregation, composed largely of the members of the parish to which the four principals in the two weddings belong, was present and the fact that there was something unusual occurring behind the scenes did not escape the notice of those present There was much whispering and It was not until the two ceremonies were con cluded that the truth spread. King and his bride lett at 1:30 o clock on the Sonthern Pacific for the South. They expected to be gone several weeks on the honeymoon, but last night s in cident will probably result in an early return to the city. Constable Wagner declared he was innocent of an attempt at-spoiling tne happiness of the event. ' The warrant, which was issued by Judge Olson." said Wasner. - "came into my hands about 4 o'clock this afternoon. We were unable to locate King or any of his associates in business, and. under standing that he was to leave the city immediately after the ceremony, took this course as the only alternative." , HOSPITAL NEEDS FUNDS GOOD SAMARITAN'S APPKAIi THIS YEAR VISGENT. Growth of City lias Increased Char ity Work More Than 5000 Treated in Year. With a record of having treated more than 6OU0 patients in the course of the past year, the demand for Increased ac or...orwi!.fioii nnii the necessity of liqui dating the heavy debt on the institution have moved Miss i-mny l. '""""w. superintendent of the Good Samaritan Hospital, to Issue nn .urgent appeal for funds to carrv on the work. While the appeal is the annual Thanksgiving one the onlv one the hospital issues in the course of the year Uie growth or Portion and the consequently heavier demands being made upon the hospital give a force that it is hoped will De an swered by liberal contributions. More than 1U0.0U0 days or treatment were bestowed on patients and of this number a heavy percentage were charity patients, while a still greater percentage paid to the hospital funds only a per centage of the. cost of their stay. The text of the appeal, with which Is enclosed a blank promising donations in cash or kind for Thanksgiving, follows. All contributions should be sent to tho hospital addressed to the superintendent, who will .make due acknowledgement: Why is tho Good Samaritan Hospital in urcent need of more funds? What does the hospital do with its funds? Both of these questions have lately been so much to the foremost that it is only fair, in making an earnest Thanksgiving appeal the onlv- one ve make during the y.iir an attempt be made to answer them. Here nre the answers: The Hood Samaritan Hospital- carries on one of the greatest works of charity In the Northwest this work demands funds. While, perhaps, at an ordinary time the hospital miicht pay expenses, heavy thouuh they be, the rapid increase In the hospital buildings that the growth of Portland has demanded, puts a tremendous strain on the hospital resources.. Then, the comfort of our patients has made our new buildings a necessity. While at all times it requires an effort to meet expenses, and although we derive some profit from our private rooms, it must be remembered that the score and scores of our ward patients cost practically the little sums they are asked to pay- We have a large number of charity pa tients, some of whom have been with us for years, who are among the other ward patients, but even the nurBes do not know who nre unable to pay. They are. not branded with the stigma Of rnarlty. , From San Francisco to Nome in hospital circles our training school " for nurses is considered tho best. We want to keep up this reputation, but It costs money. And if we continue to make this hospital the success it has been In the past, we are compelled to ask for more help from our friends. This is an appropriate time, and a hospital is an appropriate Institution to which to make a Thanksgiving offering for return to health of loved ones. Some day we would like to have you visit the hospital If you have never done so. It will amaze and interest you. ou may see tragedy and comedy almost aide by side. Here a mother bidding farewell to her dear one; hero a husband with tears In his eves celebrating the return to health of hi wife. The tiny tots prattling in the baby ward; the aged man confined to bed with the weight of his intirmity. To continue tills work we want your help: let us have- it. Although we are Episcopalian in govern ment no distinction is ever made regarding the religious beliefs of our patients; they are a:l cared for alike. Enclosed you will find a printed slip. Please till this and return today, so that your Thunk-sglving may also be ours. We rest our appeal with you. A hospital is the fc-reatest of all material benefits to mankind. Its work must not be crippled; It should he pushed on. The need is great. And this is why we are now placing our reliance in this personal plea to you. Very trulv yours. EMILY L. I.OVERIDOE.

I'm not the sort to sit Idly by and see others reap ell the benefits of my Invention," was the state ment Professor Montgomery tnade this afternoon during the discussion of a new book on aeroplanes, in which the Wrrights and other Inventors are held to have made use of the discoveries of Montgom ery. The author gives Montgomery credit for having originated the combination wing warning and curved surface Ideas in aeroplanes that have made them success ful, v The impetus given aeroplane construc tion by the Wright brothers and other leaders in heavter-than-air machines is traced directly to the flights of Professor Montgomery In this valley during 19d, and the publication, shortly "after the flights, of the plans of the machine. When asked what could be done in case it was found that ills patents had been infringed. Professor Montgomery said: "There is such a thing as annulling natent." . "I formulated my course some time ago.'" he added, "and I am not prepared to rush into any newspaper controversy I don't wish to hamper myself by a state ment now.'' Dante Club Meeting Postponed.

In the name of the Pacific Northwest Realty Associates and' another Davidor concern known as the Yaqutna Valley Fruit & Land Company, Davidor Is said to have advertised throughout Idaho and Montana that his companies were the owners in fee simple of certain lands and proposed to dispose of them on the Installment plan. Davidor's plan, say Government OtIICiais, was nittuw iw iooiv .-j -- a rrppm ent with the American Bank &. Trust Company, of Portland, that Institu tion, it Is said, having assumed the duties of official inspector lor tne uaviaor companies. Cashier G. L,. AiacuiDDon, it. is averred, wrote many letters guaran teeing the standing and credit or savi or's various concerns- Ads, and Letters Used. It Is alleged that the plan was to secure investors by advertisements and ny per sonal letters. Patrons, it is further al leged, were presented with iron-clad con- racts providing that a failure 10 meet nv pavment would mean lorraiture. When the contracts were made, say of ficials, the purchasers were given in definite descriptions. In many cases the escriptlon called for tracts of M acres. tuated in a designated township, w nen investors came to look over their lands, r commissioned agents to examine tnem, thev were Informed, aver probers, than an error had been made in the descrip tion in the contract and that other land would be substituted. It is also charged that Davidor did not wn the lands, which, he purported to de liver, on any of the contracts lssuea oy either of his companies. These were al leged by him to be in Lincoln County : In selling lands Davidor Is sain 10 nave used the clerk and stenographer In his office as Incorporators and directors of his companies. He is said to have de vised a system of pass books for the Realty Associates Company, a numDer or which were submitted to the Government. Davidor is accused of having originated the fraud In August, 1908. Second Charge Made. The second charge against Davidor al leges that in November of this year. .he began selling stock in his ueaity As sociates Company and that to induce pur chasers to consider his offer he sent out letters stating that the tock had paid laree dividends on two occasions since August. This statement is said to be un true. Government oniciais nere aeri that the stock has never paid a legiti mate dividend and that Davidor had ar ranged to pay a small dividend on two occasions as a Dait to niveoiui . Officers of the American Bank & irusx Company are said to have asserted that thev had never been afforded an oppor imitv to examine the books 01 tne Davidor concerns of which they were offl- oinl Indorsers. The alleged ramifications of the uavtaor conspiracy are said tt reach all sections e iv Wostern Coast. A number of miners and poor people from Butte, Mont., nnneared at the Federal nunaing yester day, with their pass books and contracts, some of them showing payments or eev 9i hnnrlred dollars.
