X2 THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1910. SEATTLE KIDNAPS HIBERNIAN CHIEF President Cummings Is Not on Train Met by Reception Committee. PARTY ESCORTED TO CITY Arriving Delegates Are Slet at Van couver and Brought Into Portland in Automobiles Visitors Will Be Dined Today. Kidnaped at Seattle, Mathew Cum mings, National president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, will not arrive in Portland until an early hour this morning. The Seattle spirit also succeeded in restraining the wishes of other officials who were to have been aboard the train which was met at Vancouver by the Portland reception committee. Among them were National Vice-President James J. Regan, National Secretary James T. MeGinnis, National Director John r. Kennedy, state secretary of Il linois, D. S. Tuohy, Rev. George A. Daugherty, of Washington, D. C.. Miss Anna C. Malla, National president of the Ladles' Auxiliary, and Mrs. Mary AIc Carthy, National vice-president. The party was invited to join their Seattle hosts in an automobile ride over the city, and having a few hours to spend, they accepted. The Puget Sound folk set back their watches, and with an engaging degree of hospitality kept the distinguished lodge officers en tranclngly engaged until after the train was well on its way to Portland. But the failure of the heads of the two branches of the order to travel the last lap of the journey with their com panions of the Eastern seaboard in no manner dampened the enthusiasm of the reception tendered the first large body of delegates to arrive. Party Conies in Automobile. The Portland reception committee met their guests at Vancouver and hav ing transferred them to a rose-and-banner-decorated car, accompanied the delegates to next week's convention to the Grand Central Station. After dis embarking, the party was placed aboard 15 automobiles, and with the combined flags of Ireland and the United States fluttering from the fronts of the ma chines, the visitors were escorted to their headquarters at ' the Imperial Hotel. Among the arrivals last night were Rev. Phillip H. O'Donnell, of Boston, the man who was chosen to accompany President Cummings on a mission to Ireland In April, 1909. The distinguished Irish-Americans were charged with at tempting to unite the Irish people for their own advancement in educational, political and other directions. "The measure of success which came to our mission will be made plain in the convention of next week," said Rev. Mr. O'Donnell last night. "The big thing of the convention will be the movement to ratify the work of the National Board along the same lines. "Contrary to reports, I doubt if the name of Colonel Roosevelt will be men tioned In the convention. It is true that President Cummings differed with Mr. Roosevelt's London speech dealing with the government of English col onies. Cummings differed with STr. Roosevelt in the same open manner that the Colonel acted, and it Is not a subject for the Hibernians to handle." P. J. Haltlgan, editor of the National Hibernian, was among the members of the delegation, and will be one of the prominent figures at the convention. Reception Committee Meets Train.

The delegates who arrived In the city yesterday were unanimous In the support of the re-election of President Cummings and the present National hoard of direc tors. They are positive that the opposi tion to their favorite will fail to poll a sufficient number of votes to make the , contest dangerous. The great argument '. In . favor of the Cummlnti slats appears MANY DEMOCRATS IN OREGON Democratic registration frauds are glaringly revealed in comparison of party registration and party vote for President In 1908; also In the partial totals of this year's party registration. The Democratic vote for President In 1908 was 38,049, whereas the official registration for the general election of that year waa 28,788. Thus, the Democratic vote exceeded the Democratic registration by 9261. The Republican vote, however, was 18,391 short of the Republican registration. Here, then. Is presented the strange phenomenon of a Re publican vote far short of registration, and a Democratic vote far in excess of registration. The conclusion is natural and Inevitable that thousands of Democratic voters registered as Republicans, In order to participate In the Republican primaries in April, 1908, and that they voted their own party ticket in the election. This same false registration Democrats are repeating this year. Re turns from the several counties up to July 2, and from Multnomah up to July 9. show a total of 13,036 voters registered as Republicans and 3173 registered as Democrats. While, therefore, the registration two years ago was almost three Republicans to one Democrat, this year it has been more than four Republicans to one Democrat. The official registration in 1908 and the official vote for President' that year are as follows: . Democratic Republican Registered Bryan Votes Registered Tatt Votes , May 15. 1908. Nov.. 1908.

After getting the different factions to compro mise their troubles, Cummings is said to have succeeded in unifying the politics of the order. PORTLAND JS FAVORED William O'Connor Thinks This City Is Inland EmpireTs Market. William O'Conner, of Walla Walla, an Oregon pioneer who is heavily Interested in lands In Eastern Oregon and Washing ton, arrived in the city yesterday, to re main a few days. Mr. O'Conner likes Portland so well that he would come here to live If it were practical to do so. but says that he must be contented only with an occasional visit. In discussing the relation of the Inland Empire to Portland, from a commercial standpoint, Mr. O'Conner declared that it was a mistake that all of Eastern Washington south of Snake River was not included In Oregon at the time Wash ington and Idaho were carved out of the original "Oregon country." "I believe it was decreed by nature that our part of the country should have remained In the old Oregon territory," said Mr. O'Conner. "It was destined that that district with Its fertile soli and climate ideal for agricultural pursuits would in time produce great crops and would naturally demand the easiest out let to the markets. It has been proved with absolute certainty that the easiest and most practical egress from our lo cality is the water grade down the Co lumbia River. Tire railroads and ship pers realize this fact now more than ever, and I believe that shipping between the Inland Empire generally and Port land will soon reach such magnitude that this city will control practically all the business. There will be very little left for Tacoma or Seattle." LOCAL 0PTI0NDAY IS SET Anti-Saloon league Will Hold Ral lies in Vancouver Churches. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 15. (Spe cial.)

'MUCH GIDDY," RIG0 SAYS Gipsy Violinist Who Once Was Him self the Lady's Husband Says Ricciardi Stole Her From Him When He Was Absent. PARIS, July IB. Clara Ward, formerly Princess Chlmay, has brought divorce proceedings against her husband, Peppino Riccardi. The court made the customary efforts to effect a reconciliation but with out success. - Mrs. Riccardi, formerly Princess Chl may, formerly, Clara Ward, was born In Detroit, Mich., 38 years ago. She Is also the divorced wife of Rigo, the Hungarian violinist with an international reputation now filling an engagement In this city. Beppino Riccardi, from whom the Prin cesses now seeking a separationin for eign courts, according to Rigo. was a servant in his employ during the sojourn of himself and Princess In Naples, Italy, in 1903, and stole the lady's affections. When Informed of the domestic en tanglements of his former spouse and Riccardi last night, Rigo was visibly pleased and between bursts of laughter evinced his exultation by purchasing sev eral rounds of especially concocted drinks for his friends In a downtown cafe. Asked concerning his own matrimonial experience with the Princess, scowls re placed the erstwhile smiles which had beamed from Rigo's face. "I married the Princess Chimay in Paris In 1896," he said, in shattered American. "She was the wife of Prince Chlmay, a Brazilian Prince, a, good fel low and a friend of mine. I was .play ing my violin in cafes In Paris. The Prin cess1 and her husband came often to hear me. By and by the Princess said she loved my music and me. When she got a. divorce from my friend, the Prince, we were married. We traveled all over Europe. In 1903 we arrived in Naples. I had an engagement for several months. I employed Beppino Riccardi to take tickets for my concerts and as a sen-ant. In the Spring of that year I went to Budapest to visit my old mother. The Princess agreed to wait for me at Na ples. I returned unexpectedly and found the Princess had allowed Riccardi to take my place In " her affections. I packed my belongings and, with three servants, hurried to London and obtained a divorce from her In 1904. I came to America soon afterward and heard that the Princess and Riccardi were married soon after our divorce." Referring to the temperament of Prin cess Chlmay. Rigo's countenance became overcast. Shrugging his shoulders, he summed up thus: "Zee Princess? Ugh! Too much giddy weeth le men!" FATHER FINDS LOST BOY By Accident, Runaway Is Located at Aberdeen, Wash. ABERDEEN, Wash., July 15.

Mm minium u pi ii n muLinuivmn ulud WILL ISSUE BONDS Athletic Enthusiasts Plan to Have New House Under Way by September. INDEBTEDNESS WILL GO $250,000 Worth of Securities Will Wipe Out Obligations and Pro vide Handsome Quarters and Stands on Present Grounds. The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club last night voted to issue bonds aggre gating $250,000 for the purpose of re building Its clubhouse and grandstand, which were destroyed by fire Thursday morning. This action was taken at a special meeting attended by 1000 enthus iastic members In the auditorium of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and the utmost enthusiasm marked the entire proceed ings. When President Holt mounted the plat form In the big hall, he faced a crowd of club members who were not long in mak ing it apparent that the spirit back of the winged "M" is far from subdued by the loss of the club building by the fire. All present knew what was expected and all present aided materially in furthering the plans for the future. It is provided in the bond issue to pay off the present Indebtedness of the club and to start the erection of the new structures, stands and other build ings immediately, or at the earliest op portuity after the bond issue fund is available. Plans have already been drawn by members of the club who are architects, and the meeting last night decided by vote to build the new home on the south end of the property, either bordering on Chapman or Stout street, according to, the advices of the archi tects. House Will Cost $100,000. The new clubhouse is to cost ap proximately $100,000. The present in debtedness of the club Is $96,000, which sunt will be decreased to $50,000 by the application of the $46,500 insur ance carried on the burned plant. One quarter, or $50,000, of the original Is sue will be applied to liquidating this part of the indebtedness, which will leave the club entirely free of th old debt and able to commence llf anew. Another $50,000 Is figured to covnr the cost of building new grand stands, repairing the grounds and other inci dental expenses. Of the $250,000 bonds voted, $50,000 will be held In reserve for emergency purposes to be drawn on in cases of need In the future, or to be withdrawn entirely at the discretion" of the club members, for It is believed that $200,000 will cover all costs of con struction at this time. However, the members declared em phatically that it was their Idea to be on the safe side, and when W. C. Bris tol, in an able speech, advocated the issaeunc of this sum in bonds, the mo tion was carried amid a perfect dem onstration of enthusiasm. In the early discussion of the method of raising the required funds, it was suggested that donations be solicited from members as well as friends, but here again the Multnomah spirit cropped out in a most emphatic manner, and the assemblage voted almost unanimously to solicit no donations whatever. The members later adopted a resolution which' provides that the board of directors are - em powered to accept any subscriptions or donations likely to be tendered by wealthy members of the club, though it was made plainly evident by tha motion that such donations were not to be solicited. t Plan to Sell Defeated. One of the plans advanced earlier in the meeting and which, was also over whelmingly defeated, was a proposition to sell a stlp along the proposed opening of Morrison street extending- the entire frontage of that street and 100 feet deep, which sale would have brought the club enough money to rebuild without a bond issue. The members, ( inllllllllletaoin n issue. The members. In expressing their opinion on the matter, explained that the club's present property was worth be tween $250,000 and $350,000, consisting of approximately nine acres, and it was not necessary to sell a single inch of the ground to raise the funds necessary to rebuild. It Is claimed that a first-class revenue can be secured by leasing the Morrison or Chapman-street frontages. If it is necessary to raise additional funds. One of the notable features of the meeting was the prevalence of har mony, for all members who spoke on different plans Immediately accepted the suk -estion of others better versed in realty matters, and offered no ob jections to the substitution of the other man's motion. It was the best evidence of the whole-souled Interest being taken in the campaign for a new clubhouse. With valuable property as an asset, the club members felt that It was en necessary to levy an assessment upon the meraters, for a bond Issue will prove readily salable. One member alone pledged himself to dispose of $50. 000 worth of bonss today. Like assur ances were given by several others, and It is confidently believed that the club will have raised the entire Issue in a week, and it Is hoped to have the plans for the new clubhouse completed and work commenced on the structure beore September 1. Probably the first work to be undertaken will be recon struction of the grand stand, for it is desired to have this structure ready for the football season. Temporary House in Sight. Owing to the inability of the club directors to locate Rodney L. Glisan, trustee of the George H. Williams es tate, nothing definite relative to the temporary leasing of the late jurist's home as a clubhouse has yet been ac complished. However, the directors hope to get in touch with Mr. Glisan. who Is touring California. In a day or so. and no fear Is entertained of a refusal, as he is an enthusiastic mem ber of the club. In the meantime the club headquarters is established at the Lincoln High School for the present, and the members are privileged to call there for their mall and to meet each other casually. The elubrooms of the Commercial Club, and the Arlington Club are at the disposal of the Multnomah mem bers, while the Portland T. M. C. A. has placed the use of its gymnasium, tanks, baths and apparatus at the dis posal of the winged "M" members, who will be admitted to all the privileges on presentation of their card. The action of the T. M. C. A. in tendering its fine plant was enthusias tically received by the members, who gave three rousing cheers for the as sociation. Through James F. Ewlng, the Portland Academy has also ten dered the use of its gymnasium to th classes conducted by Professor Krohn, who will assemble bis junior and .senior boys' and girls' classes there as soon as the eason opens. The bond issue is to be divided into blocks at the following valuations, and bearing Interest at 5 per cent: $80,000 at $100 each, $80,000 at $500, and $40,000 at $1000. The reserve $50,000 worth of bonds will be Issued in values at the discretion of the ' directors. If such Is found necessary. Messages of sympathy were received from all of the athletic institutions of the Northwest and from many Individ ual members and friends of th club who are out of the city.

Donations to the fund will be made to the treasurer Miss Mahr benefit fund, care of The Oregonlan. The treasurer also has charge of the disbursement of all tickets. No distressing incident has appealed to charitable Portland more than the accident to Miss Majorle . Mahr, the pretty chorus girl in the Armstrong Musical Comedy Company, whose legs were cut off by a Southern Pacific train on the Fulton bridge last Sunday. The girl, for she is only 19, continues bravely to face the future, although she la crippled for life. Her former com panions in the chorus were enthusias tic yesterday over reports from the Good Samaritan Hospital to the effect that Miss Mahr is In Jubilant spirits and is getting along so nicely. Members of the Armstrong Company started out yesterday to sell tickets for the benefit. Mrs. Armstrong was one of the most active workers. When she and another member of the com pany entered the Imperial Hotel and asked H. C. Wortman to buy a ticket, he smiled and handed over $25 in gold as the price of admission he thought ha should pay. Ben T. Dillon, the Irish comedian In the company, helped the fund along with $20.

Requests had previously been made for benefit tickets by patroTrs of the houses who were anxious to assist the little actress in making her own way in the world after she recovers. Everybody had read of the accident and the mere exhibit of ' the placard announcing the sale of tickets was all that was required to start business for the benefit. It was a common oc currence yesterday for persons in de partment stores and various business houses to ask if benefit tickets were on sale. Besides contributions and purchases of tickets large bouquets continue to pile up in the box office at the Lyric Theater for Miss Mahr. While he flowers are fresh, some member of the company or employe about the building finds time to hurry to the hospital with them.
