Apropros to the dedication of the new Forbes Presbyterian Church In this city last Sunday there Is an interesting story connected with the building or the old church 20 years ago. Mr. Forbes, the pastor of the church, had secured four lots in Lower Alblna, valued at 51200, from H. W. Corbett, and the last $1000 on the subscription list was from "V. S. Ladd, upon conditions there should be no debt- "When he went to collect the last of the $1000 it was ascer tained that the total cost of the building was $1172, hence the laugh and a Joke by Mr. Ladd that found its way Into the newspaper and has been told all over tne state with many variations and was made to serve a good part by Dr. Hill in rais ing the $2000 last Sunday. The best part of the story, however, 13 that Mr. Ladd made his subscription after the church had done its best and, knowing just what it had done, faying. "111 give the $10W, then you will not need to ask anything from the Board of Church Erection." Then after the laugh and the Joke, with evident emotion and tenderness in his voice (for Mr. Ladd loved to do a good thing) he expressed his great pleasure in the knowledge of helping to put a kittle church where there had never been one among a population of 800 people and almost within a stone's thrown of ten flourishing saloons flourishing though paying each a license of $400 a year. The furnishings of the church cct about $500, which the people's subscriptions paid for, and the church was dedicated without debt and without even passing the basket. Mr. Ladd's injunction had been strictly kept: "Cut your garment according to the cJoth." Scheme to Exclude Peddlers. There Is a brisk demand on the East Side for the little device for the exclusion of agents and peddlers of all sorts from forcing their way into houses, where there are no men folks to exclude them. The polite and respectful agents suffer along with the impudent ones. By means of a short chain and Jock the doors may be opened a Jew inches, and If it be an agent or peddler, the lady of the house may go about her- work without interruption, while the agent or peddler may talk him self blind at the door. Complaint comes from many homes in the suburbs on the East Side of the insulting actions of agents who when they find no men about the house try to force their way inside. Bio Audiences at the Esipiue. An enjoyable melodrama, a little bit on the sensational order, entitled 'JThe Moon shiner's Daughter." is being played this week at the Empire Theater. Large audi ences are in attendance. The play goes with a bang and a whoop. The gallery gods are particularly delighted, although by this It is not meant that the piece only appeals to the gallery. On the contrary, the downstairs audience enjoyed It Just as much. The ending of each act calls forth storms of applause. The acting by all the members of the company Is all that could be desired, and the specialties were exceedingly good. The regular mat. lr.ee will be given tomorrow. Morrison-Street Bridge Inspected. The Morrison-street bridge has been In spected and will be finally accepted at the next meeting of the Executive Board, in all probability. F. M. Butler, secretary of the Pacific Construction Company, and the superintendent of construction, left Portland Wednesday evening for San Francisco. C. F. Swlgert will act as the company's representative In all further business" with the city. There is still about $8000 due the builders, but they will be penalized for not opening tho bridge on time.

Fishtraps Mat Not Be Extended. Major Langfitt has denied the petition of some of the Sand Island fish trap own ers for an extension seaward of the trap lines.

It Is very often the case for various reasons that people can not collect money when It Is due, but It is seldom that people arc restrained by law from paying their debts, yet this is to be tho case In Port land, as far as cement sidewalk is con cerned. For years there has been an ordinance on the city books providing that before any sidewalk Is accepted by the person who has ordered it laid. It must be Inspect ed by the City Engineer and pronounced to be .of good workmanship and ma terial. This ordinance has not been gen erally enforced, but now the Board of Civic Improvement proposes to take the matter up and will see that in the future all work done must be examined and the approval of the City Engineer's de partment given it before it can be paid for by the person having ordered the work done. This will be done by the Board for two reasons, one to secure tho construction of good walks composed of honest ma terials; the other to Insure the removal of all debris and unsightly refuse or dinarily left by the contractors when they finish with a job. In tho past it has been the habit of the contractors when they have finished with the construction of a walk to leave the remnants of lime, cement and gravel, the wreckage of old barrels and boxes and littered pieces of paper lining com ing inside the cement barrels scattered around the streets In the vicinity of their operations. This is to be stopped by the enforcement of the ordinance. The special officers of the Board will watch for the construction of new walks and will report these to the Board. The officers will in turn see to it that the City Engineer is notified ot the new work being done and he .will make his investigation upon its completion. His certificate of approval will not be given until the material has been found to be- satisfactory and the premises have been cleaned up and put In good shape. Until this certificate is given it will not be in. accordance to the terms of the or- fdlnance for the owner of the property to pay for the work done by the con tractor. The question has been taken up with the City Engineer and has met with his approval, and from this time on the resi dents of Portland, who are anxious to have cement walks to ornament their properties will be restrained from paying for the work until such a time as the provisions of the ordinance have been complied with.

LETTER-CARRIERS UNDECIDED On Account of High Rate May De cide to Hold Their Gathering In Minneapolis Instead of Coming to Portland. Whether the National Lettercarrlers' Association will hold Its annual conven tion in Portland this year is still a mat ter of conjecture, though It was supposed that the matter had been definitely settled and that there awaited nothing save making the actual preparations. The action of the trunk lines east of Chicago, however, in refusing to grant the special rates desired, has caused the matter to be left to a referendum vote of the members of the association, and slips for this 'purpose have already been distributed. The bone of contention is Minneapolis, and it appears that while the trunk lines east of Chicago are reti cent about granting special rates to Chi-' cago if the convention is held in Portland, they are willing to grant vory good rates if the association will meet In Minne apolis. Portland May Lose. In tho face of this opposition Is Is be lieved Portland will lose the convention, though the local branch of the organiza tion has by no means given up the fight. The members in the Southern States have no mind in the matter, as a trip to Port land or Minneapolis would be the same to them as far as rates are concerned. The people of the Middle West generally are in favor of Portland, because they are outside the Jurisdiction of the trunk lines and can get Exposition rates from all points west of Chicago. East of Chi cago, however, it is the rate question that will decide, and while many of the mem bers are In favor of holding the conven tion In the Exposition city, the majority appear to consider the rate problem and are In favor of holding the convention In Minneapolis In order not to work a hard ship on delegates who can ill afford to pay an exorbitant rate, letting those who desire to do so come to Portland after the convention and take in the Exposi tion. The matter will be settled within a short time, and the fate of Portland will then be known. The local people con tend that they are still In the fight, and hope that they can bring enough influ ence to bear on the Eastern members that Portland will ultimately be selected as the meeting place. Management Takes Up Fight. The Exposition management has taken up the fight for the local letters anJ the following letter was sent out yesterday by President Myers: "PORTLAND, Or., March 23, 1905. N. E. Weeks. Chairman New England Pas senger Association. Baston Mass. My Dear Sir: I herewith Inclose to you copy of a letter which has been filed with me by the Letter Carriers' Asso ciation. I also have a similar letter from the National Equal Suffrage Asso ciation, which holds a convention in Portland this Summer. In view of tho fact that tho Western people have subscribed a large sum of money for thlsExpos!tion, the Govern ment of the United States has made a most liberal appropriation, and many of the states in the Union have appro priated large sums: and that the West ern transcontinental lines have sub scribed, in addition to their advertising, a large sum of money, I am very much surprised that the passenger service oast of the Mississippi should not grant to this public enterprise a rato that is equal to that prior to this time granted to single conventions. The Lewis and Clark Exposition is held for the purpose of trying to Induce a settlement on the vast area of lands yet vacant in this Western country, the result of which will be to produce a large amount of revenue for all common carriers throughout the United States. The Western people are sensible of their condition and they are fully aware of the amount of money which they con tribute to the Eastern railroads, for both freight and passenger service. We have always contributed to every pub lic exposition throughout the United States largo subscriptions, as well as a long list of visitors. There is prob ably no other part of the Union that contributed so much In proportion to its population to the St, Louis Exposi tion as the Northwest States. "In view of these facts and the great effort that Is being put forth at this time to make the Lewis and Clark Ex position the equal in results to the vis itor of other similar expositions, and the fact that over $5,030,000 will he expended In the enterprise, we cannot but believe that upon further reflec tion you will certainly grant us a rate equally low with that whicn the trans continental lines have made over the Rocky Mountains. I can assure you that this favor and consideration on your part will long be remembered with gratitude by the Western citizen. Hop ing to hear from you at an early date, I am. Yours very truly. "JEFFERSON MYERS. "President," When It is considered that the rates made west of the Mississippi arc 555 and those east- of the river $32, it Is generally felt that the latter Is a great injustice and is at least $18 too high. A determined effort will bo made to get some better treatment from tho Eastern associations and every pres sure will be brought to secure a reduced rate. "WOMAN TAKES CARBOLIC ACID Because Her Husband Is Recaptured She Seeks to Die. Despondent because her husband was recaptured by the Sheriffs forces and again lodged in the County Jail, and be cause she has a baby to provide for, Mrs. Mamie Bowen yesterday drank carbolic acid In her apartments at 1S5 Market street, with suicidal intent. Her act was discovered, a physician hurriedly sum moned and her life saved. William Bowen, who was sent to the County Jail for attempting to hold up and rob Sergeant of Police Taylor, then a patrolman. Is the woman's husband. While carrying wood at the prison recent ly, he escaped, but was again taken into custody Wednesday night by Under-sheriff Morden. at Scappoose. He was engaged In catching crawfish, and was living In a shack he says is his property. His pres ence there was discovered when his wife yent there to call upon him last Sunday. General Williams Will Review Guard The quarterly inspection of the Portland companies of the Third Infantry, O. N. G-, to be held in the Armory tonlghC will be an event of more than usual interest, as the troops are to be reviewed by General Constant Williams. U. S. A., commanding the Department of the Columbia. Gen eral Williams will be accompanied by his staff. Immediately after the review and in spection a reception will be given Colonel Joseph F. Huston and the staff and line officers of the Nineteenth Infantry, U. 5. A., by the officers of the Third Infantry. This will partake of a farewell to the officers of the Nineteenth, who are short ly to sail for the Philippines. Following the inspection the dance hall of the Armory will be placed at the dis posal of the various companies, and their guests and friends will be entertained with dancing. Company B will have charge of the floorj and music will be provided by the regimental band. Society and Club Events IT was a disappointment that Mrs. A. D. Soper was unable to be present at the meeting of the Home Training Asso ciation yesterday, as her paper on "Self Control In the Home" had been antici pated with great interest. The question hour proceeded as usual, Mrs. John R Foulks first reading a short paper on ways and means of "Dealing with Teasing Children." There are several varieties of these, it seems the children who tease their parents, those who tease each other and those who tease animals, and all are most trying to those who arc trying1 to control them. Mrs. Foulks said that chil dren who tease their parents for any thing will soon stop when they find that nothing comes of the teasing, and as a remedy for the other kinds of teasing sug gested that a visit to a grandmother or some other older person might otten bo found of benefit In drawing the child's mind away from Itself. She also said that praise was good for children, and If given In the right manner would be sure to win the victory. The reading o "The Merchant of Venice" at Marshall Darrach's first re cital so delighted his audience that it was prepared to be well entertained with 'The Comedy of Errors," present ed yesterday at the home of Mrs. C. H. Lewis. To read one of Shakespeare's plays and give adequate expression to each character is always a hard task, but Mr. Darrach succeeds admirably. In "The Comedy of Errors" his work as Antlpholus of Syracuse and in repre senting the two Dromios was particu larly good, the only noticeable weak ness perhaps bicng shown in the ex pression of Adriana, wife to Antl pholus of Ephesus. In the scene In which the servant Dromlo returns to tAdrlana after having been soundly beaten by his supposed master, Antl pholus of Syracuse, who refuses to answer a summons to come home to dinner. Mr. Darrach represents Adri ana as rather too much of a scold, and later seems inconsistent in making her a lady In the scenes which follow. The dialogue between the goldsmith, An gelo and Antlpholus was a delightful bit of comedy. In direct contrast to the speeches of Aegeon the pathetic old father of Antlpholus of Epbcsus and of Antlpholus of Syracuse. When the play was concluded Mr. Darrach read several lyrics of his own composition, and these were charming; particularly so "A Canoe Song" and "Marguerite's Eyes." The third and last recital of the series will be given at the home of Miss William Monday evening. The meeting of the Woman's Club today will be ono of unusual interest, as Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson and her par liamentary department have been ar ranging to hold a mimic convention which cannot fail to be entertaining. Tho programme will begin at 3 o'clock. ESCAPES ON 'FIRST CHARGE But Whlteman Is Still to Be Tried on Five Indictments. BUFFALO, March 23. Alonio J. White man, of Danesvllle, N. Y., a former mem ber of the Minnesota Legislature, tonight was acquitted on a charge of grand lar ceny.

It is charged that Whlteman secured $3)00 on an alleged fraudulent draft for J30M deposited with the Fidelity Trust Company, of Buffalo. Joseph Boothman. an Englishman, who Is under Indictment in connection with the same transaction, was tho principal witness for the prose cution. The defense sought to prove an alibi for Whlteman, and called witnesses to establish the fact that tho draft was indorsed by Boothman and that the money was withdrawn from the bank by a third party. Whlteman related on the stand a story of alleged persecution by a private detective agency.- REVOLT NEAR IN GUATEMALA Empty Rifle-Cases at Sea indicate - Preparations of Rebels. MEXICO CITY, March 23. A Mexican coasting vessel recently arrived at Muege, Lower California, carrying several empty cases that had been filled with Mauser rifles.

MUNYON, Pildelpbfau HEAD IS ARRESTED Accused by President of Muti lating Books. PARTNERS MAKE PROTEST Declare That Manager of Bureau to Supply Guests With Rooms Who Come to the Exposition Has Fleeced Them. James M. Head was arrested last even ing on the charge of mutilating the books of tho Lewis and Clark Accommodation Bureau, on the complaint of H. L. Brlggs, the president of tho corporation. Head was the manager of the bureau. There are several who claim they have been fleeced by Head, and add that they will prosecute him. Among those who claim to be losers as the result of the alleged manipulations of Head are A. E. Math ews, H. U. Beatty, the Oregon Savings Bank and H. L. Brlggs. It is claimed that Head Induced certain persons to buy stock of the bureau through misrepresentation. He told them, so It Is claimed, when they were buying tho stock they would have the controlling share, which was not the caee. After they had paid the money to him. Head, It Is said, would refuse to show them the books of the corporation, and would lock up the office of the bureau, which was in the Lewis building. The Lewis and Clark Accommodation Bureau was organized last Summer, but little was done with It until Head took charge of It. More than 11.000 contracts for rooms to be rented to visitors this Summer were procured by the corpora tion. It Is said that Head has been giving the money ho procured through the sale of the stock of tho corporation .to his wife, who has Invested it in Oregon wheat lands. The sum he Is said to have pro cured from the different stockholders through misrepresentation is about $1500. Head is a former Pinkerton detective. It was rumored that Head had sold the con tracts for rooms of the corporation to Mrs. McCrcadie, who will have charge of the Inside Inn at the Exposition. Mrs. McCreadle, when seen last evening, de nied that she had ever had any dealings with Head. Head's ball was placed at $500, which he was unable to furnish.
