Crowd Fill3 Municipal Court to Hear The Case. A gaping" mob of a hundred men of all ages had their pains for nothing when they stood through the long ses sion of Police Court yesterday morn ing, awaiting the opium-smoking case against two young women and a broken-down male dope fiend. The male person, Fred Davis, -was on hand, but there was no trace of "a rag, a bone and a hank of hair." They were rep resented by Attorney John Logan, who pleaded not guilty for them. For Davis quick work was made of proving them guilty. The testimony of Sergeant Slover, who arrested them, was taken, and Mrs. K. A. Cox, the voluble land ady of the Joint in which the dope .moking trio was arrested, told of their entrance to her place, but denied know ing anything about their having smoked opium. As soon as it was seen that the wo men in the case, who are pretty and said to be well-connected, were not to be present, the mob in the courtroom began disappearing. It was probably the hopes of recognizing some one known to them that was responsible for the attendance of a majority, but there was nothing' in the court proceedings to indicate the women's identity beyond the names on the complaint of "Leona Harry" and "Grace Templeton," which are tho names given by them when they were arrested. Davis, a miserable, groveling- wreck. with the marks of dissipation in every feature of his -face, was fined $50 on the charge of opium-smoking and sen tenced to serve 30 days in Jail for being- a vagrant. Fines of 550 each were imposed upon the women. Appeal was at once taken. JMTTTKAI order society. Organization Formed for Discussion of Topics of the Day.

Hotel Man Says Reformer Is Killing Business in Portland. "Say," cried a prominent hotelkeeper yesterday from the anguish of his soul, "ain't there any way of calling oft that man Word? He's playing h 11 with the business of 'this town," whereupon It transpired that Mr. Boniface's hotel bus! ness had become so "bum" since the town was "closed" that he was getting ready to assassinate the Sheriff. He de clared that In the last three months his patronage had fallen off one-half, all be cause gentlemen from the country can no longer spend a few dollars "playing a little game of faro or roulette or seeing the girls." "What are Sheriff WorcJ and the preachers trying to do anyhow?" he ex claimed. "Send us to church, hey? Well they'll never do that. But this thing can't last: If It does, it will ruin us, Why shouldn't a man bo allowed to spend a few dollars for amusement when he comes to town?" and Mr. Boniface looked daggers in the direction of the Sheriffs lair In the courthouse. NURSES' STRIKE IS OFF. Two Leave Institution and Others Re turn to Their Duties.

It Is the policy of all concerned to say the least possible about tho mat tcr and no information could be sained from the nurses. Dr. R. C. Coffey would not admit that a strike had actually existed, although he stated that disagreement had occurred. $1,000,000 for Improvements. DENVER, Dec. S.

NATE SOLOMON IS ARRESTED Officers Allege That Handbook Was Being Conducted and Bets on Races Were Booked Daily, Which Solomon Denies. While Sheriff Tom Word was some where down in California basking in the sunshine, his chief deputy, G. P. Morden. noatea into tne Portland ciub, confis cated the saloon, both upstairs and down, and arrested Nate Solomon. Deputy Morden was accompanied by nine assist ants, and after Solomon had been es corted to the Sheriff's office. Special Deputy G. W. Wise was placed in charge or the building. According to Solomon his arrest was not a surprise. He declared that he had wind of an expected visit from the Sher iffs office since early In the morning. When Deputy Morden made his call, he found Nate Solomon In conversation with Peter Grant, Attorney Ed Mendenhall and two other men. Deputy Morden in formed Solomon that he was under ar rest. Solomon demanded to know with what he was charged, and was told by Morden, he says, that it was for con ducting a poolroom. Solomon then de manded to know of the deputy whether he had a warrant, and when he was In formed by Morden that he had none. Solomon refused to acknowlcde the ar rest. Deputy Sheriff Harvey Moreland used the art of least resistance, a sort of mild jlu-jltsu movement on Solomon, which goes on record now as being a forced arrest. This done, Solomon, In company with a couple of deputies and Larry Sullivan, who went along to act as bondsman. Journeyed to the Sheriff's office. While waiting for Chelf Deputy Morden to return to the office. Jack Grant was telenhoneed to, to act as a second bondsman. Closed the Building. Morden remained at the Portland Club long enough to secure the doors of the building against any attempt upon the owners to regain possession. When Morden arrived at the courthouse. Solo mon demanded to be released on ball. The search for a Judge followed and nnauy boiomon, his bondsmen and a Deputy Sheriff appeared before Judge Sears. Judge Sears was willing to ad roit Solomon to bail, but he first de manded to know with what specific crime Solomon was charged. Deputy Cordano could not tell and Chief Deputy Morden was sent for. Morden Informed Judge Sears that no charge had been made against Solomon, nor had there beeen a warrant served, but, he added, that information against Solomon was being drawn up. Judge Sears then re- leaseed Solomon without ball of any sort. under the promise that ho would be on hand when wanted. This Solomon read Ily consented to do and he walked out of the courtroom temporarily a free man. Handbook Is Alleged. For ten days or more entries of the Oakland races have been on the boards at the Portland Club. There has been some talk of there having been a hand book belnc conducted at J the noolroom. ana it is believed that wncn tne inrorma tlon is filed against Solomon that he will be charged with having conducted the alleged handbook. Solomon, In discuss ing his arrest while waiting In the Sher iff's office for the return of Morden, em phatically declared that he had not sold a pool or ticket on a race slnco the place was ordered closed. He says that the Oakland entries were placed on tho board for the benefit of those who like to follow the results of the California races, and to help out the bar receipts, It Is hinted, however, by those In tho "know" "in the Sheriff's office, that agents sent from the Sheriff's office had placed and won bets at the Portland Club with in the past week. Chief Deputy Morden refused to discuss the arrest of Nate Solomon and the con flscatlon of the Portland Club. He ad mltted that he was acting under legal advice and that the Sheriff's office took forcible possession of the Portland Club without due process of law, and all the talk about Solomon and other proprle tors of the club running a handbook Is a myth. Sportsmen Surprised. The arrest of Solomon and the closing of the saloon was a rich topic for con versatlon among the sporting gentry. Only a few were in the poolroom when the officers of tho law arrived, but the news of the arrest spread like wildfire. These gentry were painfully and indig nantly surprised at what they termed the hlgh-handeed methods of the Sher iffs office. One Irate sport declared that the Sheriff of Multnomah County and his deputies had more power than the Czar of Russia. Pat Powers, the aged bar tender, was wrathy when he was In formed by Morden that It was time for him to take his cash out of the register and tret out. Powers talked a little on his richts. but Morden cut him short by saying he hadn't time to listen to an argument, Peter Grant, who used tho office upstairs where tho raid was made, also protested, but he yielded when th chief deputy insisted on nis departure, SCHOOL MEETING IN ST.

It is not expected that the matter of a permanent building will be acted on this evening, although some thing may be said on tjiat subject as well as on the temporary buildings. WholesomeBooksfor Children's Reading T CERTAINLY Is a pity that the moth ers who were out doing Christmas shop ping yesterday could not all have dropped In at the Home Training Association meet ing to hear Miss Hassler's talk on litera ture for young people, as so many useful suggestions were given about selection of suitable books. Miss Hassler, w:ho Is de voted to boys, Is In keen sympathy with a boy's liking- for hero books, but wants these same books to be of a sort tbatwlll bring out all that Is best in the reader's character. "The later stories of Henty, Monroe and Optic are not desirable," Miss Hassler said, "on the ground that they cultivate a desire for notoriety, obtained not through any truly brave- or noble achievements, but In almost any Impos sible fashion. The stories given to chil dren should be well bound and printed In good clear type. ScctCs"" love stories of grown men and wtfmen are to be preferred to any Juvenile stories of flirtation be tween high school children, but if you give your boy or girl Ivanhoe itself, bound In Morocco but In fine print it will remain a closed book. 'Aside from the workmanship you must see that the story is worth having Itself. Stories are of universal interest to chil dren, and they must be clean and whole some. iou won t indulge your aaugniers in dear little Elsie, who sobs herself to sleep. night after night and who, in her own self-conscious piety, converts ner father and everyone with whom she comes in contact. Elsie has been one of my great troubles at the Library I shouldn't say one of my troubles perhaps, because I scarcely have any othcre. "At the period when a boy wants ad venture let us take advantage of this hero- worshipping boy of ours and see that he Is admiring real heroes and the noblest qualities. The average boy who comes to the Library says: 'Give me a good story of adventure.' Robinson Crusoe has all the elements of a good adventure story and a good edition of It is by Reed Broth ers. Illustrated with quaint old wood cuts. These show Robinson Crusoe making his crude furniture, and shortly you will find your boy making things In the same way." "Treasure Island," with its delectnble chanty, which Miss Hassler quoted, was recommended for older boys, and another pirate story, one which does not throw any glamour over these outlaws, was Frank R. Stockton's "Pirates of Our, Coast," Lang's True Story Book an Charlotte M. Tonge's "Book of Golden Deeds" arc excellent history stories which Miss Hassler recommends for young Americans who do not generally care. she says, for history other than of their own country. Among other very valuable books are Bucher und Lang's translation of the Iliad, which Is given with such fidelity to tho original as to be next to reading the urcek, the Odyssea, by the same trans lators, "Master Skylark," by John Ben nett; "Life of Sir Philip Sidney." by Bourne; Miss Johnson's new "Short His tory of Oregon," which Is spirited and readable, and Thomas Nelson Page's "Two Little Confederates and Among the Camps." Molly Elliott Seawell's naval stories are extremely good and for boys and girls who can endure anything so bit terly touching "The Man Without a Coun try." "If one wants to give a child a very expensive book, there could be no other more beautiful to select than Howard Pyle's "Robin Hood," but handsome and less expensive editions are "Robin Hood: His Book" by Mrs. Tappan, "The Forest Outlaw" and "In Lincoln Green." "A boy came Into the reading-room and laid down 'In Lincoln Green with a big sigh," said Miss Hassler, "and said: 'That's the best book I ever read .out of the Library,' and he has read nearly all."

BOLT THEIR PARTY High School Boys Hold Rump Convention. WILL NOT ATTEND MEETINGS Do Not Recognize Authority of Offi cers Chcsen by Remainder of Class and Choose Officials of Their Own-Trouble May Result. The boys of the senior class of the Portland High School, some 31 in num ber, have refused to affiliate with the regular organization and will not attend the class meetings. Yesterday they held an indignation meeting for the discussion of the question, and It was unanimously decided that the boys of the class should band themselves Into a distinct and sep arate organization, which Bhould have nothing to do with the girl's organiza tion effected the previous day. Lane Gbodell, the young man who was unable to poll a sufficient number ot votes at tho former meeting to defeat his fair competitor. Miss Sarah Rogers, was nominated as president of the rump convention, but declined to accept the office. He was, therefore, elected secre tary. Otto Ott, was elected president by the secessionists, Harry Cason vice-president, Horace McCoy treasurer and Mlln Dayton sergeant-at-arms. The boy3 are very, very angry with the girls and will from this time on have nothing to do with that wing of the class. They wiU be a little class by themselves, a band into which no frail competitor can break. They express their opinions freely, but do not wish to be quoted under their name3. "Did you boys -really bolt tho conven tion?" was asked of a lad with long hair, a sweater and a troubled look. "Did we bolt? Well, I guess we did. and what Is more we Intend to stay bolt ed. Wc think that the girls have acted In an unfair manner. The office of pres ldent of the senior class has always been considered as a boy's office. It has been the custom at the school to give the office to a boy, just as the managership of the football team, or the captain of the baseball team Is given to a boy. It Is considered that the otfico of president is just as much a boy's office as either of these. Many times In the past there have been more girls than boys. It Is usually tne case, but the girls nave ai ways voted for a boy for president. To do otherwise we think Is unfair, and we boys have organized Independently of the girls. Wo will have nothing to do with their organization, will not attend their meeUngs or take part In the class work as planned by them In any manner." RED EYES AND EYELIDS.
