The Northwestern United Develop ment Railway Company eating-house, was the name emblaxoned on the red barked time card which served for a menu, and inside were the different Items arranged with minutes and times. Following the division point came the speakers, each of whom was permitted to discourse 10 minutes, when the real. leottirally-operated semaphore worked from the tower by I- A. Colton. who also read the message that could be heard coming over his ticker and fagged them summarily. Just at the time the arm dropped, the train crew found enjoyment In exercising their wheel hammers on the flanges, and the ipeaker preferred ten times out of ten to sit down without further competi tion. From time to time a train was backed Into the eating-room. This fea ture of the entertainment had been pre pared by II. B. MrCabe and C. J. Smith, of the Raker Theater. It was on the observation platform, for Instance, that the train butcher. K. I.

The signs on the walls were as at Iractive as the usual lunchroom article. Patrons were Informed that "Ice cream and tnmito sauce together cost 10 :ents": "It Is not necessary to tip the sralter: this Is riot a dining-car." and ath-rs of like Ilk. Then.-as the guests started on the 3rst course, the train came In. It was true to life.

Hild rose to Speak a reso lution received from the Anti-Car Seat League was presented. Mr. Hild was prayed to Increase the number of traps, take away the seat In the car and allow each Individual trap-hanger to purchase a strap at the "regular prl.-e." Four st nip-hangers, swaying with the motion of cars, entered, whils car gongs reverberated. Before the railroad semaphore and gongs forced Mr. lllld to sit down h said the strap-hanger eslsted because he wanted to. The only way to at tack the problem, he asserted, was to level or flatten out the peak load. The only way this could be accomplished, he thought, was to spread out the "homeward rush by having the business houses vary their hours of opening and closing. G. F.

"Please wire back." tnetantly re sponded the speaker, "that I will meet my brother after the prayer meeting next Thursday." "(. K.." rattled the ticker. Rev. Mr. Boyd spoke In a happy vein of the "good old days" when'a parson was the recipient of passes from rail road men. and that he enjoyed railroad men then, as now. Tribute raid te Bullderm. Immediately after T. B. Wilcox was Introduced to speaa on "The Railroads and the Oregon Development League." the towermnn announced the receipt of a telegram addressed to the speaker as follows: "Is It true that your flour Is the reason for your dough?" Mr. Wilcox referred to the difficulties In securing railroads In the early day and the conditions which marie possible the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad long before any such enter prise could be hoped for Oregon. He paid a tribute to the pioneer railroad builders. Henry VUlar.l. Charles B.

The portraits of these empire builders, pre sented to the club by Mr. Wilcox, be hoped would be an Inspiration to the 100 men who passed them In entering and leaving the Commercial Club. Upon Introducing Kdgar B. I Iper. vice-president of the club. there was a pause when the tower man again announced a telegram addressed to Mr. Piper: "Can t read copy of your speech to be delivered at railroad ban quet. Can we substitute something from the Congressional Record. Mr. Piper, after a humorou Introduction, dwelt seriously on the part the rail roads have had In he development or Oregon and the Northwest.

Angeles Investor In Telephone Company Insists Litigation AVas Rrouglit About by Manipulation of Allen, Mead and Willis. Charles K. Sumner, of Los Angeles, who yesterday made application In the State Circuit Court to Intervene In the suit of the Title Insurance Trust Company against the Northwestern Long-Distance Telephone Company and submit a defense In the Interest of un. represented Investors, last night lndigr- nantly repudiated the Insinuation that nis activity in me miKauua h'"Di the telephone company was inspired by a desire to arouse public sentiment In favor of Louis J. Wilde, who is soon to be tried for alleged embezzlement of fumta belonging to the suspended Ore gon Trust & t-avlngs Bank. laalnuatloa Held (Ireuadleaa. The Insinuation that my action In this matter has anything to do with the Wilde litigation Is groundless and untrue." said Mr. Sumner last night. "The pen-ling litigation against the long-distance company was brought as a result of the manipulations of Wil liam II. Allen and William Mead, of Los Angeles, and P. L. Willi, of Port land, during the last three years and was precipitated by them at the pres ent time. I did not appear In court until the last day. I welted and gave the defendant telephone company all the time allowed by law for It to de fend and when I found that my invest ment, aggregating S50.000. was to bo wiped out and diverted to their pock ets, I asked the Circuit Court for leave to appear and defend in behalf of my self and others similarly suuaieu. "When this case is tried, as it will be. the people of Portland will realize that some of those who contributed to an Interview In an afternoon paper to day are simply howling to divert at tention from their own misdeeds. So far as Mr. Wilde is concerned, he has never been Interested, directly or In directly, in the Northwestern Long-Distance Telephone Company. He never ownd any stock or any bonds In the company and never had any voice In its affairs. "There Is no connection between this telephone litigation and the pending cases one a civil and one a criminal against Mr. Wilde. It Is only a coin cidence that Mr. Willis, who is charged with being a party to the wrecking of the Northwestern Long-Dlatance Tele phone Company, Is the same P. L. Willis who Is largely Interested, both directly, as a stockholder, and lndlrect lv. through Ashley Rumelln, In the German-American Bank. The stock holders of said bank and not the de positors of the Oregon Trust A Savings Kank, are the persons who would get any money realized out of the civil case against Mr. Wilde. Mismanagement la Charged. "I am a stockholder and bondholder In the Northwestern Long-Dlstanco Telephone Company. When I lived In Portland up to the Fall of 190S, I was in close touch with the affairs of that company and realized that Its pros pects for success were very, flattering. At that time I moved east and while there the pet sons who were left In control of the company grossly mis managed it. I became aware of that fact in June. 1909, when I was In Port land on other business. "I Immediately went to Los An geles and made a very careful Investi gation of the condition of this com pany, with the result that I returned to the East and closed up my affairs there and moved to California for the sole purpose of restoring to that company what It had been wrongfully deprlve4 of. "I commenced a suit against William Mead. P. U Willis. William H. Allen, Jr.. and the National Securities Com pany with the result that they re turned to the treasury of the company bonds of the par value of tiiO.000. which they had theretofore wrongfully diverted for their own profit and ben efit. "Thereafter the Superior Court of Los Angeles County gave me Judfrment against said Northwestern Company for juu0 for attorney's fees for securing the restoration to that company of said 7o0.000 of bonds. "The parties who were forced to dis gorge those bonds threatened to make my stock valueless and said that 1 would never collect my Judgment. Since those bonds were returned the com pany's mismanagement haa grown worse and a large amount of money due It haa not been collected, and Its earnings, which should have been used to pay Interest on Its bonds, have been diverted to other purposes; and. as a part of the programme to make my Judgment worthless and to render valueless the Interests of myself and the other minority ' bondholders and stockholders, of which there are many In Portland and vicinity, these people have connived at and permitted a tech nical breach of the trust deed and thereby precipitated the foreclosure suit which Is now pending In the Cir cuit Court here." HOUSE MILEAGE NOT CUT Proposed Heduction Declared to Pnt Premium on Bachelors. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. A request economy committee" of the House to cut in two the mileage of Senators and lor an additional 150.000 for the ex penses of the House of Representatives and an attempt on the part of the Representatives today threw the House Into a debate on expenses that Is con sidered prophetic of the sessions that are to come. ' Republicans again charged the Dem ocrats with having lost trace of their economy programme. The reply from the Democratic side waa the introduc tion of a resolution by Repreaentatlve Palmer, of Pennsylvania, leader of the economy board, to cut the annual mileage allowance from 20 cents, a mile to 10 cents a mile. The Democratic forces split and the plan was voted down, 66 to 138. Sub sequently, on a motion to recommit the urgent deficiency appropriation to the appropriations committee with In structions to cut down the mileage, the Palmer forces again lost, 98 to 139. Chairman Fitzgerald of the appro priations committee explained the S0, 000 deficit appropriation for the ex penses of the House by giving some of the monthly expense accounts of the in vestigation committees. The Stanley Investigating committee, be said, was spending S2700 a month, while extra stenographic expenses were costing I200O a month. Chairman Stanley offered to explain the expenses of the committee to any member who wanted to inquire about them. He approved expenditures for several departments. Including about 1427,000 for the Treasury Department, which Mr. Fitzgerald said was made necessary because the Department had cut its estimate too low last year. Members indulged In personal lan guage when the proposal to cut down Jie mileage was taken up. Represen tative Humphrey, of Seattle, said that member who lived near Washington were always trying to economize for the Government at the expense of the members who lived far away. "You propose to penalize members who have families," he said, "and to place a premium on bachelors. Any member of Congress who wants to come to Washington and leave his family at home is unfit to be a member of the House and any one who wants to pen alize the members who have a big fam ily Is not fit to be a member." No change was made In the mileage allowances. The attempt to cut the mileage rate to 10 cents will be made again before the present session of Congress ends. .IS PEOPLE'S COMMISSION" DEVOT IXG TIME TO WORK. Chairman .Clark Declares He Be lieves Document Will Be Ready on Tuesday. The people's charter commission yes terday succeeded in covering a little more than the first half of the report of the revision committee and ' will make a strong effort to have the en tire document reviewed and ready for filing Tuesday, to avoid the necessity of asking for a further extension tl time from the City CounclL "We have covered the vorst half of the work today," said A. E. Clark, chairman of the commission, "and I believe that we will be practlcallyfln ished by Tuesday. At least we will have everything done excepting, pos sibly, the clerical work of copying the final revised form of the charter." The short charter form Itroduced by W. C. Benbow Friday night was not alluded to a second time after it had been rejected by the majority of the commissioners and yesterday's meet ings were devoted entirely to laboring over the revision committee's report. Alfred D. Cridge was of the opinion that the haste of the commission to die Its charter Is needless. "There Is no occasion for either this committee or the other committee to make such haste, at the expense of thoroughness," he said. "The present voting register expires January 1 and even If the new charter could be sub mitted on the time set, it would be im practicable to hold an election before April, instead of in February, as many seem to think will be done. If they should undertake to hold the election In February there would be less than 30 days In which voters could register, and as a result it would be a case of swearing in the majority of the voting force of Portland, which la obviously absurd." "The people's charter commission Is making a mistake," he continued, "in trying to write an entirely new docu ment. They are consuming an enor mous amount of time and the result of their work probably will be an imper fect instrument- My Idea of the safest method of procedure would have been to adapt the Spokane or some other successful charter to the needs of this city. This would have taken only a little time and would have insured bet ter results." Mr. Cridge believes that the different charter commissions should get to gether and make some effort to fuse their ideas. "At present the Wood charter stands a chance to beat either of the other two charters before the people, be cause it is simple and couched In terms that the mass of the voters under stand." he said. j ne commisoto" m.o v men- j terday to arrange for conferences or any other steps calculated to bring about a movement for the fusion of the three charters.

Hundreds of men and women blocked the sidewalk and overflowed to the car track all day Saturday waitlns for an oppor tunity to set Into the Jewelry store of I. Holsman Co.. 31 S Washington street, near Blith. The sreat sale of the 5S,0OO stock of manufacturers' Jewelry samples, of Provi dence. R. I., was" the majmet that drew the throng. Hundreds left without saining ad mittance, but came back again Monday and were waited on promptly as possible. The sale will continue until Christmas and Mr. Holsman assures the public that such bar rains have never been offered-In Portland, the selling- price being- about 30 cents on the dollar, actual selling value. The Crowds Still Come to the Greatest Jewelry Sale Ever Known on the Pacific Coast Beware of - Imitators Imitation is the sinoerest flattery. When we announced that e had purchased the $53,000.00 stock of Manufacturers' Jewelry Samples of Providence, R. I., at a few cents on the dollar and that we would give the public the benefit of our purchase at 30 cents on the dollar it caused consternation amongst the trade and we felt certain that imitators would spring up. They have, but their efforts only make our phenomenal sale stand out all the stronger. Values considered, we are offering our goods from one-half to two-thirds cheaper than any competitor.
