PORTLAND RAISES $4225.45 Two CliexUi Sent o Hal) Chair man or Committee Desires to Raie SWO.OOO In State Turn Over Church Donations. Nothing In the history of this coun try has awakened the sympathies of the people as have the stories of suf fering and privation of the people who have been mads homeless by the earthquake and Ore in Sicily. No dis aster, not even the great calamity which befel San Francisco, has so loos ened the purse-strings of a generous and. free-giving people. Here In Port land money In large and small amounts Is flowing Into the hands of Colonel rvid M. Dunne, treasurer of the local Italian relief fund. Yet there Is more to be given, for it is the hope of S. A. .Arata. chairman of the committee that Is soliciting the funds, that Portland and the state of Oregon will be able to turn over to the sufferers at least cn.000. Portland responded with a lavi.-fh hand to the appeals for help from San Francisco and is doing the same for the people of Sicily. In many of the churches today the entire collections will be devoted to this fund. Charles Siadnitig. Episcopal bishop of Oregon, has sent out a pastoral letter to the clergy and laity of the entire state appealing for aid. Bishop Scaddlng has also sent out a special prayer. Added to these appeals comes the an noumenicnt that George Baker will donate the boxofflce receipts of one of his theaters to the cause. The AVeslern I'rion and the Postal Tele graph companies are lending their aid. Both companies will give free trans portation of domestic messages relating to the relief of thi Italian sufferers when offered by the relief committee. On Monday Chairman Arata will have completed all of his plans. His so liciting committee will be armed with proper credentials and all of these will bear his signature. All checks should be made payable to David M. Dunne, and all those who give cash are re quested by Chairman Arata to sign their names to the subscription list. iJits last night Colonel Dunne talked with Governor Chamberlain. and In addition to the proclamation which the Governor, has already Issued he wired the following to ail of the Mayors of cities throughout the state: To the M;ii'r of All the Cities snd Town of Orison: I earnestly aipeal to erh and all of too to appoint committee to solicit subscriptions for the relief of .. in .ifT.-in ind In want in southern Itmly aud the Island adjacent thereto..

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE COSTS .Nearly $7000 Was Paid to District Pro.-ecutor, While County De partments Exceed Expendi tures .of Former l"er9. More marriages, more divorces, evi dences of extravaganca in several de partments of the county, and a general lucre ase of activity In all lines of county affairs are shown by the annual report f County Clerk Fields, submitted lata yesterday afternoon to the County Court. The increased sums paid out for main talnance of the District Attorney's office Is the largest Item of Increased expense. During the past year the county has paid over to that establishment the sum of $6827.11 for incidentals, this money being the largest um ever demanded of the county by a prosecuting officer. In 1907 only r3TS. was paid out to the Dis trict Attorney's office. In 1306 it was 2334.21. In 1306. t762.25; In 1904, 161.15, and In 1903 but e77.75. Serious question is raised aa to the right of the office to draw from the county's money rather than from the state. , Increaso In Assessor's Office. In the County Assessor's office the in crease Is from ,23.2!'3.T3 in 1907 to 29,S4.67 but It fs explnined that the growth of the county necessitated this Increase. An In crease of about 40 per cent is shown, too. In the Clerk's office but this is similarly explained, the Clerk's work having been greater than ever before. In the Sheriffs office an Increase of expenses Is shown from ,16,78.68 to 119,716.62, and In the Tax Department from ,16,724.06 to $19,613.17. Both these departments have shared In the larger demands of local progress. Receipts In the clerk's office were greater than ever before, reaching a total of J64, 150.06, as against to8,970.04 for last year, 156,663.85 for 1906 and 333,973.07 for 1903. Expenses of the courts were a trifle larger than last year and the receipts vastly larger. Thia department spent 31747.16 of the county's money and added 36835 to tha treasury. Last year 33084.30 was expended and J3HS6 taken In. These figures apply to the Circuit and County Court and the recording department com bined. In the comparative statement of the County Clerk's activities, marriages are shown to have Increased from 2153 to KS5, while divorces have taken a correspond ing Jump from 32S In 1907 to 381 In 1908. But, figuring this out as a problem in proportion. It Is shown that the Increase In marriages Is not offset by the Increase of divorces. More Citizens Are Received. Quite aa Increase Is noted In the num ber of new citizens. In 1907 Uncle Sam recruited 65 citizens In Multnomah County while 134 were received in 1908. More "soulless" corporation budded Into existence too, 1907 developing 604 of these ventures while 190S begot 636. Circuit Court cases were considerably more numerous, the total for the year being 3044 as compared with 1533 for last. Probate cases Jumped from 633 to 575.

Committee Recommends Bancroft Bonding Act and Xew Method of Paying for Hard Surface. Only two material amendments are pro posed, to the city charter by the streets and sewer construction committee of the charter revision commission. One pro vides for the Incorporation of the Ban croft bonding act as a part of the char ter, the same to operate automatically, with a few slight amendments. The other provides that the city shall pay all of the cost of Improvements to hard surface streets from the street repair fund. Only a portion of the report was reviewed by the commission at a meet ing last night. The balance of the re port, including a supplemental report on the Bancroft bonding act, will be taken up by the commission at its next meet Ins Tuesday night. The report was submitted by Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman of the committee, who explained that the commitee had confined its labors largely to expediting the matter of street construction. Most of the proposed amendments, he pointed out, were of minor Importance and served only to make more clear the Intended meaning of the original sections of the charter. One of the changes In the existing charter approved by the commission au thorises the city to purchase bonds or other securities of the city with its sink ing funds In open competition with other bidders. Under the charter as it Is now constituted the municipality In bidding for these bonds cannot submit proposals above par. Senator-elect Dan Kellaher appeared before the Commission and requested that the amendment to be submitted to the voters by Initiative next June and providing for the elimination of patented articles or processes by the city In advertising for bids for street improve ments, be Incorporated by the Commis sion In Its recommendations as a part of the new charter. .After an extended dis cussion the request, together with a copy of the proposed amendment, was received and placed on file to be considered at a subsequent meeting of the Commission. The text of the proposed amendment fol lows: The Council shall not adopt any plans, specifications or estimate.! fcr any pulrtlc iinprorement which shall require the ex clusive use of any patented article or pro cess or any article or process protected by any trademark or any article or process wholly controlled by any petaon. firm or corporation, or any combination thereof, nor use nor authorise the nse of any such article or proceaa In the Improvement of any street, highway or publlo : place In the City of Portland.

PARSONAGE PURCHASED BY CENTENARY METHODIST CHURCH, f - v I ''' ;' X ' f ' WOMAN FOLLOWS AFFINITY TO Jl Police Arrest E. J. Foote at Depot and Cause Very Stormy Protest. FACES CHARGE OF FRAUD Mits Lillian Torher Vainly O'tjects When Officers Take Into Cus tody Iabor Organizer Want ed at Grays Harbor. In all Portland there was no more indig nant woman last night than Miss Lillian Forber, and perhaps none had better cause, for Just as she was welcoming her affinity" at the Union station by show ering kisses and embracing him. Detec tive Hellyer and Coleman Interrupted her by placing the object of her affec tions under arrest. Mlsa Forber followed the officers with their prisoner to the City Jail, where he was locked up, and there told them what she thought of them. She occupied more than a minute or two In relieving herself of the denunciation, which Included not only the two detectives, but the Chief, Captains and desk officers as well. And ha finished with flashing eyes by stamp ing her foot on the floor and saying, "So there," and left the station. But that wasn't the end of it. In less than an hour she had returned with an attorney and demanded the immediate re lease of her "affinity." On being re fused, she again snapped tier . eyes, stamped her foot, denounced the officers, and said "So there." Woman Walts at Depot. Miss Forber was at the Union station when the late afternoon train from Se attle pulled In. So also were Detectives Hellyer and Coleman,' who were waiting for the same person for whom the young lady awaited, though with an entirely different motive. They -were there on tele graphic Instructions from Aberdeen, Wash., to arrest E. J. Foote, who Is wanted In the Grays Harbor metropolis for obtaining money by false pretenses. The officers had only a meager descrip tion upon which to work, but when the train came to a stop they saw a man alight who answered that meager descrip tion. As they watched him, he started to ascend a high step, but missed his footing and fell into an ugly, darkened mudpuddle, covering himself and his clothing with dirt and water. The officers were greatly surprised to see a woman, undismayed by . the crowd or the besmeared condition of her "af finity," rush from the crowd, throw her arms about him and kiss him in her Joy at his return. It was while she was so engaged that the officers interfered. "Is your name Foote?" they asked. "It is." he replied, and they told him they wanted him. "Want him," angrily demanded Miss Forber, as she turned upon them, "What do you want him for? And suppose you do want him you don't get him." Raises Protest at Station. But the officers were obstinate and Foote was forced to accompany them to headquarters, which la the reason why Miss Forber Is perhaps Che most indignant woman In Portland. She pouted and fumed at' the station, but the officers were unsympathetic and cared little If their duty forced them to come between two "affinities." The man is accused by a baker in Aber deen of having obtained the sum of $75 under false pretenses. Foote refused to discuss the charge. He is an organiser for the Industrial Workers of the World, and bore credentials from that organiza tion, lie had In his possession $72 when arrested. He was confined In a cell, but declared tliat he would have no difficulty In securing bonds. The anger of Miss Forber was great and 111-euppressed from the time of Foote's arrest, but it reached a climax when the officers told ner of having read the letters in Foote's pockets from her, in which, It was eald, she called him her "affinity." She was so angry she could not speak. SCALP TAX LAW WANTED Eastern Oregon Wants State Aid to Exterminate Coyotes. "The people of Eastern Oregon will de- 5? s i r 'J! St. f t ( r,r?
