ton to Be Given for Fund.
The Fourth of Julr fund will he
transferred to the Heppner relief com
mittee, ana no celebration -will be held,
except a sham battle at Irvinston, for
the benefit of Heppner.
The amount paid In Is $2S7t.66. and
about $250 Is outstanding. It Is ex
pected that all this balance will be
raid. There are bills outstanding which
roust be paid, but the balance to be
transferred to the Heppner fund -will be
at least $2500.
A mass meeting: ' Portland citizens,
held In the rooms of the Commercial Club
last evening, decided to forego the cele
bration of Independence day this year.
The bills Incurred by the Fourth of July
committee will be paid and the funds on
hand, estimated at or near $2500, will be
turned over to E.L Sabin, treasurer of
the Heppner relief committee, to be spent
In relieving distress along Willow Creek.
The decision to abandon the Fourth of
July celebration was unanimous. Some
question was raised as to the power of
the mass meeting to declare the funds
raised for the celebration available for re
lief purposes, but, with the explanation
that the call for the meeting fully ex
plained its objects, this objection was re
moved, and the citizens voted without dis
sent to give Heppner the money.
A report submitted by Secretary Paul
Sates shows that all but $250 of the money
pledged for the Fourth of July celebra
tion has been collected, the larger portion
of it having been paid in since the pro
posal to divert the funis was first ad
vanced. This clearly indicated that the
subscribers are willing that their money
should be sent to Heppner.
Some objection to diverting the fund
was raised by a few North End hotels,
which had contributed larger amounts
than they could afford to send to Hepp
ner. and their contributions were not col
lected. One restaurant which had pledged
55 for the Fourth of July fund reduced
the amount to 52.50 when it was thought
the money might go to the flood sufferers.
These were the only objections reported
by Mr. Bates or his assistants.
Corporations Pay Up Readily.
The greatest surprise was shown at the
way the larger corporations contributed.
They had already given generous amounts
for the Heppner relief fund, but when
Secretary Bates approached them yester
day to collect the Fourth of July fund all
but $50 of the $1430 subscribed by this class
of business enterprises was paid in at
once. The $50 still outstanding is repre
sented by a company that was not visited
yesterday. It will undoubtedly be col
lected. Of the $250 still outstanding, the secre
tary believes that practically all will be
paid in at once. The committee may even
be able to pay the bills outstanding with
the amount yet to be collected, but in any
event at least $2500 will be turned over to
the relief committee.
The Fourth of July committee decided
to ask the newspapers to publish a finan
cial statement. A controversy arose over
this question, but it was finally decided
that only the names of those subscribers
who actually paid their contributions
should be submitted to the papers, though
General O. Summers Insisted that the
number who refused to pay should be in
dicated. Paul "Wesslnger, S. A. Arata. and
Colonel Dunne insisted that the commit
tee wished to treat every one fairly, and
it would be an ungentlemanly act to pub
lish the other names, beside being ontire
ly unnecessary, as those subscribers either
refusing to pay or reducing their sub
scriptions might have good reasons which
could not be explained.
A proposal made by Sol Blumauer to
the effect that the fund should be held for
a week In the hands of the treasurer of
the reuef committee, to allow any who
desired to do so to withdraw their sub
scription, was voted down, later in the
evening Mr. Blumauer proposed that the
churches be Invited to hold memorial
services on the evening of July 5, but was
also outvoted on this question.
Sham Battle Proposed.
Next to declaring the Fourth of July
funds appropriated for the relief of Hepp
ner. the most important action taken last
night was that indorsing a plan to give a
sham battle on July 4 at the Irvington
track. The board of officers of the Third
Regiment. O. N. G., suggested this as a
good plan for raising additional funds,
and asked the indorsement of the citizens
committee. The approval was given
cheerfully, but considerable discussion en
sued over different plans of aiding the
regiment. It finally resulted in author
izing Chairman Summers to name a com
mittee to confer with the officers and to
take charge of the business part of the
entertainment. The officers will be busy
with the arrangement of details for the
maneuvers, and cannot give as much at
tention to details of advertising, sale of
tickets and ground management as a com
mltee of citizens will.
General Summers was made chairman
of the citizens' committee, and he has au
thority to name as many men to co-operate
with him as he desires. The original
proposal for a committee of five was
amended to extend this authority.
The only objection raised to the sham
battle was that It had something of a cele
bration flavor, and this was what the
maes-meetlng had just decided against.
But when it was pointed out that while
the nroDosed sham battle would have the
effect of bringing people to Portland and
be something of a Fourth of July feature,
the real effect would be to Increase the
amount given the Heppner sufferers.
Heppner Xceds the Money.
J. N. Teal was asked to explain the sit
uation at Heppner. Mr. Teal explained
that he was not a subscriber to the Fourth
o July fund, and for that reason be want
ed his recommendation to be regarded as
that of a disinterested citizen. He reviewed
iiome of the conditions at Heppner and de-.
clared that ho favored abandoning the
celebration and donating tho fund to the
purpose of relieving the distress at Hepp
ner. Mr. Teal explained that temporary
relief had been granted, but that nothing
had been attempted toward restoring the
town, and that this problem must be met
hy Portland, a city which the people of
Heppner looked up to in much the same
light as a son looks up to his father.
P. J. Mann brought the question of
abandoning the celebration squarely be
fore the meeting by a motion to dispense
with It- During a desultpry discussion of
the extent of the motion Secretary Bates
showed 52S14.66 had already been co
Iccted, all but something over $S00 of
which was. paid In since Saturday morn
ing. The Mann motion prevailed.
Postmaster Bancroft wanted the fund
raised for the celebration of the Fourth
returned to the subscribers, but when he
put his sentiment In the form of a motion
it was greeted by a prolonged silence,
which A. B. Stelnbach broke with a coun
ter suggestion that, after all bills were
paid, the fund be turned over to R. L
Sabin, treasurer of -the Heppner relief
committee. Colonel Dunne did not think
this could be done, but General Summers,
in his first of a series of orations on the
subject, declared that the purposes of the
meeting had been advertised for three
days, and any subscriber who bad not en
tered an objection was barred from so
doing. - Thereupon Colonel Dunne with
drew his objection.
Objector Rights Have Lapsed.
Mr. Bancroft was not so easily satis
fled. He Insisted it was a trust fund the
committee had in its control and that the
committee, despite the notico given, could
not divert the fund without the consent
THE LATE MRS. CAPTAIN J. H. McMILLEN.
PIOXEER "W03IAX, WHOSE FUNERAL WIXjXj BE HELD TOMORROW.
The funeral of Mrs. Tlrzah Barton McMlllen. wife of Captain J. H. McMlllen,
who died Sundar morning, after a lingering illness, will be held from tho family
residence, 2S5 Crosby street, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Lone Fir ceme
tery will be the place of interment.
Mrs. McMlllen was a. woman of refinement and of wide acquaintance among
all classes. The announcement of her death in yesterday's Oregonlan was re
ceived with sorrow. Many yesterday expressed their sympathy to her bereaved
husband. Captain J. H. McMlllen. and her daughters, Mrs. June McMlllen Ordway,
Bight McMlllen. and Mrs. Iva Glover.
of all the subscribers. General Summers
had a few more thoughts and expressed
them.
P. J. Mann called attention to the fact
that Secretary Bates, in collecting the
Fourth of July fund, had encountered no
objection on the ground that the money
might be sent to Heppner. After having
been given due notice of tho probable
action of the committee and having, by
failing to raise an objection, acquiesced in
the plan, tho subscribers had let their
rights lapse, said Mr. Mann. So did Gen
eral Summers, and he told the meeting
about it
S. A. Arata insisted that the people were
of one mind and that the mass-meeting
should vote immediately to turn over the
funds. Together with Paul Wesslnger,
Colonel Dunne, Julius Meier, -and a few
others he demanded that the question be
submitted, but General Summers stopped
proceedings long enough to advise eacn
one present that he had a right to be
heard and "need not fear what the news
papers said about It" Colonel Dunne
cruelly suggested that General Summers
was a man whoee wide experience in that
line qualified him as adviser. Whereupon
General Summers agreed with him.
Secretary Bates told of his experience
in collecting the subscriptions and the
unanimity of sentiment in favor of turn
ing the money over to the relief commit
tee. He limited the objectors to a few
North End hotel-keepers.
Vote to Turn Over Money.
General Summera was not ready for a
vote, and attempted to have an amend
ment directing the publication of the list
of subscribers and the bills paid appended,
but Mr. Stelnbach would not agree.
Thereupon General Summers spoke again
and Mn Wesslnger counseled action upon
the single topic With a sigh General
Summers agreed and the mass-meeting
voted enthusiastically In favor of turning
over the money.
With the disposition of the funds out of
the way. General Summers secured con
sent to his plan of publishing a financial
statement and then waived Colonel
Dunne's demand for -an adjournment aside
while he directed the auditing committee
to clean tip the bills at once. During a
lull in the etorm of motions to adjourn.
Colonel Everett and a number of officers
of the National -Guard made their sug
gestion relative to a sham battle, and
after General Summers had approved the
plan the mass-meeting endorsed It and
made General Summers chairman of a
committee of citizens to aid the project
After tho rest bad adjourned General
Summers called his auditing committee
together and remarked that the bills must
be gone over at once. This the committee
agreed to do.
Improvements Are Assured.
The East Twenty-eighth Street Im
provement Association last night secured
pledges of more light fire protection and
street-car Bervlco at a meeting In Mis
sion Hall on East Gllsan street The old
officers were re-elected.
W. L. Boise, representing the Exec
utive Board, said that the electric lights
asked for in the district would be pro
vided and fire hydrants will be placed on
the large main now being laid for fire
protection. Free mail delivery also will
be given after July 1. All these things
the Association has been working to
secure.
Manager C. F. Swlgert, of the City. &
Suburban Railway Company, said the in
tention was finally to run cars out East
Thirteenth street and back by way of
East Gllsan and East Twenty-eighth
streets. The matter of lowering the
track on East Thirteenth street was re
ferred to a committee.
In the matter of Improving East Twenty-ninth
street it was reported that the
improvement will not extend further
north than East Gllsan street and thus
will not cut off any of the grounds of
tho Boys' and Girls' Aid Society.

FINE PROGRAMME ARRANGED
At the Marqnam This Afternoon No
table Entertainment of Vocal.
Slngrlne, Vaudeville and Clever
Acting Will Be Given.
Every detail of tho big Heppner benefit
entertainment to be held in the Marquam
Theater this afternoon has been arranged,
and all Indications point to a most suc
cessful performance.
"Vocal singing by the best local talent,
an act of a popular play by the Baker
Stock Company, and a number of vaude
ville turns by the leading specialty peo
ple In the city, have been combined In
a programme of some three-hours' length
to form the greatest benefit entertainment
Portland has ever seen.
The benefit committee, composed of J.
Wesley Ladd. Edward Ehrman and W.
D. Wheelwright met yesterday morning
for a final consideration of the plans for
the performance. Manager George D.
Baker, who has had the performance In
charge, reported tho progress he has made
toward getting up the entertainment He
also announced the programme, which ho
could not give in full until a short time
before the committee meeting, as several
whom he wished to perform promised to
act but an hour before the meeting.
The Baker Stock Company will give as
the principal event of the entertainment
the third act of "Captain Swift" a play
which was extremely popular when pre
sented here last Winter. Catherine
Countiss and George Alison will as usual
take the leading parts, and the act will
be presented with the scenery used at
the Baker Theater later in tho season.
The singing of Mrs. Hose Bloch Bauer,
Mrs. Walter Reed and N. C. Zan promises
to be an attractive feature of the enter
tainment The Portland singers have
many friends who will ..attend the en
tertainment for no other purpose than to
hear their favorites in vocal music
Thus the benefit entertainment com
bines acting by a popular stock company,
singing by the best of Portland's musi
cians and the cream of vaudeville acts In
two theaters, tho Empire and Central
Park, the East Side amusement place.
The programme in detail Is as follows:

seats have been bought Is an agreeable
surprise to the entertainment committee.
The boxes and loges have also sold very
readily, and the presence of a number of
well-known society people is a certainty.

ANOTHER FOR A NEW HALL
Mississippi Avcnne Hall Secures a
Fine Kimball From Eilers Piano
House.
Beautiful new Mississippi Avenue Hall,
In Alblna, built by the Push Club, and
which was opened a few days ago with
most appropriate exercises, has now
been supplied permanently with an ex
ceptionally fine piano. It is a Kimball
from Eilers Piano House, and none other
than the famous No. 100,000, which has at
tracted a great deal of complimentary
comment in musical circles. Eilers Pi
ano House, as has been Its custom in
such cases, generously furnished the mu
sic committee this Kimball piano for use
in the exercises at the opening of the
hall, and no small share of the brilliant
success of the entertainment was due to
this noble Kimball piano. So much so,
in fact, that the committee, after care
fully investigating the piano question,
decided to buy tho piano outright
This makes the eleventh instrument
supplied by Eilers Piano House to public
institutions during the past two weeks,
these being the Academy of Idaho, at Po
catello; the University of Idaho, at Mos
cow; University of Oregon, Eugene; Em
pire Theater, Portland; Methodist Episco
pal Church, Grcsham, Or.; Bancroft
School, Spokane, Wash.; Trinity Meth
odist Church, Portland; Mississippi Ave
nue Hall Association, Alblna; Haywood
Club, University Park; Christian En
deavor Society, Hillsdale, Or., and Ep
iphany Church, Chehalis, Wash." This Is
an uncontroyertable demonstration of the
superiority of Eilers Piano House instru
ments and the reasonableness of their
prices.
