Tinllng, the result of a romance that TO BE CONTINUED had its inception when the pair were classmates at the Queen Anne High School three years ago. - Three years ago the bridegroom and bride took part in a school play where in Carl was made to propose to his bride. The real proposal came later as they were spinning downthe country road near Rlverton on Mr. Hartnett's motorcycle. Hartnett played on the basketball team- of 1911, was a mem ber of the football team of the pre vious year, and managed the track team in 1911.

Unanimity of Sentiment Prevails at Bxploitation Meeting and Plans for Three-Tear Campaign Will Be Prepared. - Portland's promotion, exploitation and "publicity campaign as conducted for ', the last few years by the Commercial 'Club Is to continue for three years ' more. This was the sentiment unanimously expressed at a gathering of representa tive citizens at the Commercial Clnb "rooms yesterday. Not only was the '.work of the past approved, but em phatic expression was given to the vplan to conduct it along similar lines -until after the Panama-Pacific Expo sition. ' L'pon motion of T. B. Wilcox, the president of the club was empowered , to appoint a publicity committee to prepare a budget covering three years' ork. This will carry the campaign rwell past the period of the exposition and will provide for the season when the immigration due to the opening of the Panama Canal will be at its ".height. '. Mr. Wilcox estimates that the aggre gate expenditure for the tnree years .will not exceed $150,000. It is prob able that it can be reduced to a lesser .amount. Result of Work Sees. "Our expenses for the first year need not be so great," said Mr. Wilcox. "But this will have to be Increased each year until after the year of the fair. In 1915 they may have to be somewhat greater than the $50,000 average. "Our work, as we have conducted it In the last few years, has borne fruit in many ways. We cannot afford to , discontinue it now. It is too Important to the Interests of Oregon and the whole Northwest. We must go on with it and cover the whole United States as we have In the past. Then when .the time comes for co-operating with the state In Its effort to bring Europe- ' an immigration here we must become active there." In accordance with Mr. Wilcox's mo tion the publicity committee appointed 'by the president of the club will make -an estimate of the expenditures re quired. Judging from the promises made by the ib or 40 men at yesterdays meet ing; there" will be little difficulty In securing the required amount. ; The need for a modified form of ex ploitation was discussed freely. It was pointed out that Oregon now has and .is securing nearly all the Immigration -desired, so It will be unnecessary fur . tlier to emphasize this phase of activity. Settlers to Be Assisted. - To assist people already here and to "provide those that are coming with -means of going on the land and mak ' tng the soil of the state produce addi tional wealth will be one of the func tions of the future campaign. An effort will be made to have the -large landowners who now are dlspos ' inar of their property in small tracts as sist the purchasers in stocking their property. Reasonable farm loans will be sought for the Immigrant farmer. George F. Johnson, chairman of the promotion committee, reviewed the re sults of the last few years and de clared that there Is more need for fur ther publicity than there has been in the past. "I was Impressed with the enthusi asm displayed by the men at the meet. , tng." said Mr. Johnson after adjourn ment. "We had a most representative gathering probably the most repre- . sentatlve ever secured for such a pur pose." Walter F. Burrell also expressed eagerness to carry on the publicity - through the period of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. He voiced the opinion that Portland and Oregon must have adequate publicity at that time, as all the other Western States will be mak ing efforts then to attract tourists and to secure permanent residents. IMane Generally Favored. Tom Richardson pointed out the need ' for activity along the line of securing , settlers for the vacant lands and of as ' slstlng farmers who locate on the land. . .

Sharp criti cism of some of the bills before the Legislature at Albany for regulation of stock exchanges is made in a state ment given out tonight by the New York stock Exchange over the signa ture of its counsel, John G. Milburn and Walter F. Taylor. Especially strong is the .opposition to the bill requiring brokers to deliver to customers a memorandum of sales. settting forth the hour and minute at which the transactions took place. Such legislation Is termed an ab surdity." The statement points out that the law already requires the broker, on demand from his customer, to furnish a memorandum of the time and place of the transaction and that the only essential change proposed is the state ment of the exact minute at which the transaction took place. "Common Sense" Appealed To. "If the clock in the exchange board room happened to be a minute out of the way," continues the statement, "it is appalling to contemplate how many crimes would be committed in the course of a morning of trading." The Legislature Is requested, "in the name of common sense," to , refrain from passing the measure. The bill which would compel the New York Stock Exchange to rescind its rule prohibiting its members from trading with members of the Consoli dated Exchange is opposed with equal vigor. "The bucket shop bill Is opposed." says the statement, "as an improperly drawn measure, which, it is said. Drob. ably would render the, present bucket shop act inoperative. The measure to prohibit brokers from trading in secu rities against customers' orders is de scribed as too indefinite. In ' place of these two bills a substitute is proposed, making it a felony for a broker to ac cept an order for the purchase or sale of securities and. without actually ex ecuting tne order, to represent to his customer that he has done so. : Report Filing Opposed. The measures requiring coroorations listed on the exchange to file quarterly reports witnin nve days after the end or tne quarter, the statement asserts, "might properly be entitled 'an act to prohibit the purchase or sale of cor porate securities upon exchanges.' " It wpuld be physically impossible, it is said, for large corporations to collect the required data within the Ave days' limit. The bill which proposes to regulate the rate of call loans is opnosed on the ground that in time of money strin gency the strain would be aggravated uy reducing tne amount of money to be lent and by giving foreign markets an advantage over New York In com petition for money. No comment is made on the proposal for incorporation of stock exchanges, the objections of the exchange having been covered by Mr. Milburn in his argument last month oetore tne legislative committees.
