Now They Are Seeking: for the Miss ingr Man, Fred Gilbert Fight Re sulted Between Trro Losers. Seven conductors on the East Side branches of the City & Suburban Railway Company are out ?84 20 through the per fidy and treachery of Fred Gilbert, an extraman who had been employed on the line for a time, but had been discharged. Saturday morning" Howard Hayden, who was to take the money thut had been left at the car barn, East Twenty-eighth and East Couch streets, Friday night, to the office of the company on Third and Yamhill streets, was away somewhere and did not take It. It has been the practice of the conductors to take turns in carrying the money to the office. Young Gilbert offered to per form the eervice, and the sack contain ing the money turned in by the several conductors, running from a few dollars up to $17, was handed to Gilbert. He started across the river for the West Side but he never arrived, and the men are out the several amounts. Hayden, whose turn It was to carry the cash to the of Itlce lost $17, the largest amount of any of the conductors. Gilbert had been a soldier In the Phil ippine Islands In the regular Army, and had arrived with tho Thirty-fifth Infan try, which came a few months ago. His work was not very satisfactory to the street railway company and he was dis charged. No trace of him has been found, though he may turn up. The only chargo against him would be breach of trust. He was not in the employ of the company and the money was simply entrusted with 2Um for safe delivery. The street-car men, who are losers, are greatly enraged and would make it hot for Gilbert If they could catch him. They ascertained from a young woman at Hunter's Station, on the Mount Tabor branch, that Gilbert hah told hef that he intended to go to Van couver Saturday. The aftermath of the affair was a big fight between Hayden and Buckner, a conductor who lost about 510. They all board at the same place at East Twentieth and East Ash streets. Hayden, who was the man who should have taken the money to the office and who lost 517, was angered at some remark made by Buck er and they went over to a vacant lot on 'East Twenty-first and East Ankeny HEADQUARTERS FOR PARTY SLIPPERS Are here as usual.

District Attorney Mays Gets American State Reports. Deputy United States District Attorney Edwin Mays has Just received and placed In "his office a set of American State Re ports. The sot comprises 80 volumes, and contains all the most important cases de cided by the Supreme Courts of the dif ferent states since 188S. Quite a number of lawyers are buying this set of books now, as it Is understood that the forth coming Oregon code will contain many references to these reports, which for that reason will be of special value to Oregon lawyers. Mr. Mays' set is, so far aa known, the first which has arrived here. The cost of the set Is 5225. To a "profane" person seeking for Information as to what had become of the important cases decided by the Supreme Courts of the various states previous to 1888, Mr. Mays said they were to be found in a set of "American Decisions," comprising 100 volumes, and a set of "American Re ports," containing GO volumes, but few lawyers can afford to buy the whole lot at one time. In fact, lawyers, as a general thing, do not buy so many books as they used to. They buy books of reference and such reports as are in constant use, and go to the law library for the others. This Is well, for "of the making of (law) books there ,1s no end," and there appears to be no let up Jn the production of lawyers. If every lawyer should accumulate all of the books, they would all have to live outdoors, anij the country would be buried under the mass of legal lore, and eventual ly sunk. Such a catastrophe has long been contemplated, and to avoid It some lawyers have proposed to burn all the books up to a certain date. The instltu. tion of well-equipped law libraries will probably secure the desired end. ' A Timely Suggestion.

Memorial Will Be Erected In 'Honor of the Dead of All Wnrs'Wlio Lie in Lone Fir Cemetery. The first steps for the erection of a monument commemorative of the dead soldiers of all wars' who He in Lone Fir cemetery- were taken yesterday afternoon. At a meeting of representatives from the Sumner, George Wright, Lincoln-Garfield and Ben Butler Posts, G. A. R., of Portland, held in Sumner Post Hall, 21 Union avenue, M. L. Pratt acted as chair man, and in brief announced the purpose, of the movement, which had its start in Sumner Post, and had spread to all posts In the city. From each post com mittees had been appointed to work for erection of a monument, whose four sides should bear inscriptions to the memory of Indian, Mexican, Civil and Spanish wars on a scale modest and commensurate with the means raised. It was the inten tion, said Mr. Pratt, to secure the aid of air 'patriotic citizens' in the movement. "With this explanation the Monument As sociation was organized. Those present were. Peter Newburg, J. L. Courtney, J. S. Foss, J. H. "Williams, Henry A. Barden, J Glesner, M. L. Pratt, W. S. Buchanan, L. Hartmus, J. W. Ogilbee, F. A. Cole man, Captain J. H. McMillen, D. D. Neer. Captain J. H. McMillen, Thomas A. "Wood and Colonel B. D. Bush, reprc- , sentlng the Indian War Veterans, were ! elected members of the association. It was decided that a number of promi- nent citizens should be Invited to become members of the association. Captain J. j H. McMillen, J. S. Fosa and L. Hartmus were appointed to extend invitations to citizens who would be willing to aid In the work undertaken. It was moved and carried that a com mittee be appointed to Interview the own ers of Lone Fir cemetery, to ascertain it a plot of ground suitable for the pro posed monument can be secured, before the work of raising subscriptions Is com menced. Peter Newburg, M. L. Pratt, J. W. Ogilbee and F. R. Neale were ap pointed on this committee. It was an nounced that the owners of the cemetery grounds are pleased with the monument movement and will aid In the effort. The matter of subscriptions was taken up, and a committee of throe was appointed to prepare a form and to submit It at the next meeting of the association. Nothing was said as to the probable cost of the monument, but the most en thusiastic members of the association hope to secure 515,000. An outline of the - Mrs. B. A. Stafford. Sirs. Hannah Gilbert.

Installation of a lUOO-Horsepower Generator and Engine, i The armature of the new 1200-horse-power generator for the City & Suburban Railway Company was received Saturday on the grounds of Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill, and was dragged on rollers to the power plant. It Is hte last and most Important part of the mammoth addition to the pbwer-produclng force of this plant. The armature and crank shaft, which weigh 25 tons, will at once be placed on the concrete foundation In the building, where bedplate and engine already stand. The big engine and generator will be one machine, the two being connected with the big shaft, which Is ID Inches in diameter, and the power will be applied directly to the generator without using a long belt for Its transmission. The armature alone is nearly nine feet in di ameter, while the generator complete will be about 12 feet In diameter. There are two other generators In the I power-house of 500 horsepower, but these i are infanta in comparison with the one now being installed. There are also half a dozen smaller ones, of about 250 and 300 horsepower each, that were used when the first electric street-cars were started on the Albina line, which look like mere toys beside the composite generator. The progress of Portland for a decade, at least in the matter of street-cas, is indicated by this power plant. When the j new generator is in operation with the ' others in the plant, there will be pro duced 3000 horsepower. Starting from the little plant first maintained in Albina. and the one on the corner of East Twenty- sixth and Powell streets, generator after generator has been added, until this last 'one was found necessary.
