TO ARREST WERLEIN City Treasurer Is to Be Brought Into Court WILL .NOT DISCHARGE CLERK Civil Service Commission is Deter mined That Its Authority Shall Be Respected and That J. S. P. Copeiand Be Ousted. City Treasurer Werlein Iff to be arrested this morning, according to the schedule laid out by the Civil Service Commission. It's all because Mr. Werlem won't obey the orders of the Commission, or rather, according to report, of A. A. Courteney. The other two members of the Commis sion, P. L. Willis and J. TV. Blaln, are reported willing to' meet the City Treas urer more than half way In the dispute as to who shall be clerk in the Treasurer's office. But Mr. Courteney, though a minority, is determined that the regula tions of civil service, as defined in the charter, shall "be carried out to the letter. It was easy enough to find a charter section that provided for the arrest of an official acting In such a manner. There fore the arrest. Mayor Williams has appeared in the role of The Hague tribunal without bringing the disputants together. The open rupture will occur when Mr. Werlein Is arrested. Mr. Werlein has issued his ultimatum that he will not discharge J. S. P. Copland, who failed to pans the clerks' examina tion, and appoint E. W. Jones, the onlv one of 19 who passed. The Commissioners Fay that he must do so, and Mr. Werlein says he will do nothing of the kind. "If I am to act as City Teasurcr, I must know the men in my office," said Mr. Werlein yesterday. "If the Commis sioners will be responsible for the men they send into my office, I'll take them, but if I am to be responsible for every thing that Is done here with the people's money, I must know my men. I have nothing against Mr. Jones, but I don't know him. and this Is no time of the year to break In a new man. "I told the Mayor and the Auditor be fore the examination that I had good rea son to believe there was something crooked about it, and I told the Mayor my authority for the statement I said that if Mr. Copland passed It was no reason why I should keep him here, nor If he failed would I necessarily discharge him DERANGED BY WORRYING. Woman Found Dying on East Side Feared Surgical Operation. Almost at death's door, Marie OngUer was round at Beech street and Gantenbeln avenuo early yesterday morning by A. H. Boylan. Crazed by the thought that she must soon undergo another serious opera tion the woman had wandered to the spot, where she law down to die. Another hour, it is thought, would have ended her life. She was almost frozen when discovered, and it required quick work on the part of Dr. W. B, Hamilton to revive her. The first Impression of those Interested in the case was that she had attempted to commit .eulclde "by tak ing poison, but this was found to be un true. The woman was finally removed to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she became stronger, but she was. etlll mentally de ranged at an early hour this morning-. It is thought she will recover. The woman disappeared Monday night from a North End lodging-house, and ef forts to locate her proved vain. She had been worrying over the fact that she must soon undergo a serious operation, the sec ond one within a few weeks. TOUB OF FREIGHT AGENTS. Northern Pacific Party Will Be Well Entertained Here. The party of Eastern general freight agents of the Northern Pacific which is now on its way West for a visit through the Pacific Coast teritory, -will reach Portland on Friday night or Saturday morning. The excursion was put under the chaperonage of S. G. Fulton, assistant general freight agent, as soon as it reached the territory' of that official, and he left several days ago to join the train in Eastern Washington. While in Portland the party will be shown all of the manufacturing plants, will.be taken over the harbor .and shown the shipping and taken for a visit to the Lewis and Clark grounds. An informal luncheon will be given the party at the Commercial Club and an opportunity given as many of them as possible to meet with the leading business men of the city. The exact date of the arrival here is not known on account of the ar rangements that are being' made for the entertainment of the excursionists in Washington.

Last Sunday was spent at iorth Yakima; Monday and Tuesday were giver to Seattle, and today the visitors will be the guests of Bellingham. To morrow will be spent at Tacoma, where the general offices and shops of the Northern Pacific will be visited. E. H.

By an examination of rooms 4 and of the Esmond Annex, Sergeant of Police Slover early yesterday morning found the remainder of the opium smoking "layout" supposed to have been used by two young women and a man, all of whom were taken to jail by the officer after a raid Monday Jilght. During the raid Sergeant Slover seized the large pipe, but before he secured admittance to the rooms the remainder of the outfit was secreted. He at first thought it had been placed under the roof of the hotel, but found it in a bureau drawer yesterday. t consisted of a quantity of opium, .a cooking lamp, wire and scissors anti constitutes what Is known as a "room layout." Such an outfit Is used by pri vate parties who do not care to pat ronize a Chinese opium establishment. Their faces hidden behind the folds of heavy veils, the women, who gave to the police the names of Leona Harris and Grace Templeton, were arraigned before Municipal Judge Hogue yester day morning on charges of opium smoking. Pleas or not guilty were en tered by them and Fred Davis, also accused, and the cases were set for hearing' tomorrow morning.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE 1ECTTJEES Bicknell Young Will Speak in North- western Cities. Bicknell Young, the Christian Science lecturer, who will address a Portland au dience next Sunday, arrived in this city yesterday from Puget Sound points and will leave this evening for Walla Walla. where he will lecture Thursday. He will return to this city. Friday and will lec ture at Salem on that evening and at Oregon City Saturday evening. At his lecture last Sunday afternoon at Seattle the theater was filled to its capacity and the large audience by its manifest atten tion and Interest gave evidence that the lecturer and his subject made. a very !& vorable impression. It Is stated that the mission of the lec turer Is not to convert nor to proselyte, but rather to enlighten upon the subject of Christian Science, about which he speaks with authority of investigation and experience. It Is well known that Chris Cultured and musical people of Portland and the Northwest are honoring its musical center at this time. These annual func tions of ours are epoch-making events. In each one the public witnesses a notable advance in piano-making and piano-merchandising. Visitors this season are finding a store unrivaled in its immense assortment of pianos of the most famous makes and matchless tone quality. The display is an expression of the taste requirements of our patrons. Their universal approval is spontaneous and enthusiastic. It is an art exhibit that in style and -variety distances the most ambitious efforts of the greatest metropolitan stores. It is a demonstration of the wonderful purchasing power of the Eilers Piano House. Another feature, and one no less important, is the absence of the prohibitory prices that usually prevail in such high:class instruments. We realize the vital importance of correct buying and correct selling. A practical expression of this will be found in the moderate prices at which every one of these pianos is offered. The public is cordially invited to a thorough inspection. PARTIAL VIEW MAIN SALESROOM EILERS PIANO HOUSE. tlon Scientists entertain definite ideas in regard to the origin and treatment of dis ease, and while these ideas may seem un usual and even irrational to some persons it Is believed by Christian Scientists to be due to a misunderstanding of their doc trine. In order that popular misconcep tions In regard to the healing of this re ligion, as well as prejudice on theological grounds, may be removed by a clear statement of the truth about It, the First Church of Christ,ScIentist, has provided a board of lectureship of which' Mr. Young Is a member, to present Christian Science publicly as it is. -This lecture, therefore Is for the benefit of the inquir ing public rather than for Christian Scientists.

The doors of the theater will be open at 2 o'clock and the lecture will begin promptly at 3, after which time the doors will be closed.
