OR. EMMY LANE IS FETED BY DOCTORS 200 Members of Medical So ciety Honor United States Senator-elect. GREAT FUTURE PREDICTED Speeches Sound Xote of Affection and Reference to Professional and Political Career Brings Prolonged Applause. Two hundred members of the Port land Medical Society sat down to a banquet at . the Portland Hotel last night in honor of Dr. Harry Lane. United States Senator-elect from Ore son. Many were the praiseful tributes to Dr. Lane s worth as a citizen, a phy sician and a public official. That he would make a brilliant rec ord in the Senate was freely predicted. Some of the speakers, in prophetic mood, depicted his triumphant re-election six years hence, and others saw him attaining even greater heights in the public service. Dr. W. T. Williamson, who presided as toastmaster, said that it was fitting for the fellow-members of Dr. Lane s profession to meet as an organized body to do him honor on the eve of his departure for his new duties in the high place to which he had been called dthe councils of the Nation. Speeches Show Affection. There was a distinct note of affec tion in many of the speeches. Dr. S. B. Josephi said that he hf.d known the truest of honor ever since he was a boy, and that "he was a very devil among boys." He referred humorously to a time when a shift in state admin istration made his resignation as super intendent of the Oregon Hospital for the Insane quite the correct thing to do politically, and told how he was placed in the unusual position of be ing asked to name his successor by Governor Pennoyer. "I recommended Harry Lane," said Dr. Josephi. amid applause- Dr. Otto S. Binswanger made one or the hits of the evening with his remin iscent remarks relative to the early history of Dr. Lane as a physician. He told of the many enthusiastic theories of the youthful practitioner, and the doctors laughed, none more heartily than Dr. Lane, as he told how some of them worked out. Dr. Charles H. Raffety told of know. Ing Dr. Lane from boyhood, and of hav ing had him as a student in his office. Ha said that Dr. Lane "Is a man who does what he sets out to do. Just as he did when a boy he rode a big salmon in Portland Slough and killed it with a club." Dr. Snrjcentlch Recites. Dr. S. Sargentlch was introduced by Dr. Williamson as one who. while his residence has been in Portland for sev eral years, finds his heart with the allies in the Balkan Peninsula fighting for their freedom against the Turks. Dr. Sargentich is a Servian, and he gave an Interesting summary of the history of his country under Turkish tyranny. He closed by reciting an English translation of a powerful and dramatic poem by a famous Bulgarian patriotic poet, and was long applauded. Dr. George Whiteside told of the stu dent life of Dr. Lane at Willamette Unlversitv, from which he graduated in 1876, and the little Intimate touches in his talk pleased his hearers to laughter. Dr. Ben L. Norden was one of the younger physicians who bore witness to the high regard in which Dr. Lane- ts held by members of the profession, and it was he who predicted that the Senator-elect would make such a record as would entitle him to a re-election from the people of Oregon. Dr. Andrew C. Smith, in a happy lit tle talk, added to the gaiety of the evening by telling little "tales out of school." In which Dr. Lane was the cen tral figure. He Joined with the others in a warm appreciation of the new Sen ator. Political Duty Outlined. Dr. Lane, in replying to the en comiums that had been showered upon him. was at his best. He expressed not only the deepest appreciation of the way In which his brother medicos had gathered to do him honor, but the earnest hope that he would be able to fulfill their expectations for him. He spoke of the practice of inflating stock as one of the greatest evils that the country faces. Of $31,000,000,000 of stocks and bonds issued in a certain period. Dr. Lane said that $21,000,000, 000 are nothing but air. "The backs of the common people have to bear this burden of fictitious valuation, with 6 per cent Interest on the whole unholy load," he said. He declared that some thing must be done to check the business of over-valuation, or the coun try "would go to the demnation bow wows," and that he proposed to be one of the men to attempt to do that something. The Portland Ad Club Quartet was encored for each of several songs that they sang, and added materially to the general success of the event. CARE OF BABES PROBLEM Directors of Home Plan Improve . ments and Find Pnnd Low. The Baby Home is planning to safe guard the health of the tiny inmates of the Institution by building a concrete cow stable. For eight months there have been no deaths at the home and but very little sickness. In order to keep up the standard the directors have decided to have every accessory that will enable them to give the babies the purest food and the best care possible. The fund to be used for the new stable is to be taken from the amount secured during the Olds. Wortman & King voting contest, when the public showed its interest in the institution by making it one of the victors, with a prize of several hundred dollars. Another problem facing the board Is the fact that the fund for running ex penses is running low. They say they feel the need of state support, as chil dren come in constantly from all parts of Oregon. The last Legislature al lowed them $9000 tor two years' main tenance, and the expenses have been $22,000. The Income from their endow ment fund is only $17. SO per month. The directors will not give a tag day. -but are hoping for some other means of helping them care for their little charges. ALLEGED FORGER IS TAKEN Man Raising Bills From SI to S20 Long Sought. Clever pen work in the execution of rui.-ing $1 notes to the denomination of $20 and passing them into circula tion has caused the secret service de partment of the Government anxious moments on the Pacific Coast during the past two months, but yesterday Secret Service Agent ConnelL of the Portland district, arrested a man who is accused of doing the work. The raised notes first made their ap pearance in Portland during the early holiday shopping season and at the same time notes of a similar character were found in San Francisco, all evi dently the work of the same band. To City Detective Swenness Is given the direct credit of making the first ar rest Jack Monahan, a traveling bar tender, was captured -Wednesday, after he had attempted to pass one of the raised bills in a North End saloon. At the time Monahan refused to tell where he had received the bill, but yester day morning he told the officers that Jack Larson, who had a room at Sixth and Stark streets, had given it to him to cash. The officers made a quick run to the room and found that Larson, who was also known as Harry Russe, had left a few hours before with all his ef fects. At the Union Station he was arrested as he was boarding a train for San Francisco and while none of the raised notes were found on him. the ink and pens which the officers say were used in the work were in his suitcase. He denied all knowledge of the raised notes but the Government officials have strong evidence against him. Fully 20 of these raised notes are known to have been placed In circula tion and probably many more. INTRUfiERS ARE BOLD WOULD-BE ROBBER WALKS IX WHILE FAMILY AT HOME. Bold Visitor Leaves on Command bnt Tries to Re-enter Later Police Think Man Drug-Fiend. While surface indications developing yesterday are that thugs have aban doned the night time and preferred broad daylight for their operations, the police are extremely skeptical as to the Information supplied them In one case and set another down as the act of a drug fiend or maniac. Shortly after noon yesterday the po lice were summoned to 81 North Four teenth street, where Dale Hughbanks, an engineer employed in the terminal yards, reported that he had been robbed at his doorway by an armed highwayman. The man first made ln autrv for a room, and then produced a revolver, says Hughbanks, demanding money. The victim replied mat ne naa none, whereupon the Intruder seized his trousers, carried them outside th room and locked the door, leaving Hughbanks inside. He removed a purse and a matchsafe, of no value, but obtained nothing else, tie is aescrmea as well-dressed. Immediately after this call came one from Alblna, where Patrolman Maiion was on the trail of a man who hao forced entrance to three residences. He first went to the home of Mrs. O. Finseth, 724 Borthwick street, where he tried to unlock a door, but failed. Mrs. Finseth summoned the police and while they were on the way the same man went to the home of Mrs. L. Johnson. 717 Kirby street, and broke a lock, forcing his way in. Finding a man in the house he fled, but returned in a few minutes and tried to enter the House again. He was next heard of at the home of Mrs. Updegraf, 168 Ivy street, where he walked straight in, but left when commanded to do so. From the de scription the police believe that the man is a user of drugs. Patrolmen Sherrlll and Johnson assisted Mallon in searching the neighborhood, but the) failed to overtake the object of their search. Y. M. C. A.

TANK THIEF IS CONVICTED Boy Charged With Stripping Auto 'Gets Six Months' Sentence. Profitable traffic In gas tanks and other attachments stolen from automo miles is believed to have been broken up in part by the conviction of Earl Hawkins, 19 years old. In Municipal Court yesterday, on a charge of steal ing a tank from the car of W. H. See. The youth pleaded guilty to selling the tank, but asserted that It had been given him by another young man whom he did not know. He was sentenced for six months. Theft of detachable parts of automo biles has been a growing practice in recent months, . along with the almost nightly taking off of some car bodily, principally for Joy-ride purposes. Gas tanks, in particular, have been the prey of the thieves, and In one place, from which Hawkins took his, eight tanks were located by Detectives Smith and Heppner. Tne tanks are worth $25 apiece and found a ready sale at a garage at $7.50. Washington "U" Shows Growth. UNIVERSITY OP . WASHINGTON, Seattle, Feb. 6. (Special.)

Elderly Man Admits Being Drunk and Rifling Trunk of Benefactor Who Provided Shelter. For the 60th time, old Frank Printy stood before the Municipal Court yes terday and repeated his good Inten tions, but by the very repetition he took little profit from his plea. Bat tered and sodden, the' old man admitted being drunk and while in that condi tion rifling the trunk of the man who had befriended him by admitting him to share his bed. Some years ago Printy vied with Jim Casey in coming before the court with in three days of his release from each succeeding sentence. Then, suddenly, he dropped out of sight. Months went by and one day a clean-shaven, neatly dressed old man was observed sitting among the spectators In the courtroom where time after time he had been one of the actors. The word went fortk that the old man had reformed, had joined a church and eschewed liquor. Chief Slover took a personal interest in the case and for a long time Printy led a moral life. Gone was the white collar and the neat clothes, when Printy stood before the court yesterday. "I'll do different, your honor. If you'll let me go," he pleaded. . ifou can't let liquor alone, Printy,1 said Judge Tazwell. 1 will. 1 win, protesiea iiibuiu man. tearfully, but the court choked his protestations with a sentence for 90 days and Printy went back to the box, probably to commence another term at Llnnton. "Too bad," commented Chief Slover. "He had a good start, but I guess It was no use." Playground Offer Indorsed. The offer of J. Fred Larson to pre sent 10,000 square feet of land for a public playground, which was followed by an offer on the part of Gay Lom bard to equip the playground, was warmly commended in a resolution adopted Wednesday night at the regular monthly meeting of the Women's Press Club of Oregon, which met in the Mayor's Council room at the City Hall.
