Arthur Mackenzie and Bernice
Stewart Cause a Sensa
tion by Eloping.
YOUNG MAN ORDERED HOME
Declaring She Was Going to Visit a
Friend, Young AVoman Joins
Her Suitor and Starts' for
Bryn Mawr.
Weeing from Irate parents, Arthur Mac
kenzie and Bornice Stewart, well known
in Portland's young social circles, eloped
last week on an eastbound train, leaving
in tholr wako a letter written by the girl
as the cars sped her away, and addressed
by the young man, declaring that she was
determined to return to Bryn Mawr Col
lege despite hor father's opposition, and
that she was going with Arthur because
his place was in the East The father
of the girl declared that he was done
with his daughter, and the father of the
young man has ordered the youth home,
threatening, jbo the story runs, to cut
him off should he refuse.
Young Mackenzie is a son of William
R. Mackenzie, bursar of Portland Acad
emy, and Is 34 years of age. Miss Stew
art Is a daughter of John Stewart, prom
inent In the timber business In this city,
and is IB years of age. Both are grad
uates of Portland Academy, where as
students they came to know each other.
Mackenzie Is a senior at Princeton, and
Mtes Stewart was a member of the Junior
class at Bryn Mawr. in which institution
she won a scholarship while in Portland
Academy.
The elopement took place Tuesday
morning tf last week, and that same day
the letter was posted from the Portland
Seattle train, addres.-od to a friend of
Miss Stewart's, living near Fisher's Land
ing, whom the missive asked to break
the news to the Stewart family. But me
clopAment was not reported until the fol
lowing Thursday, for the friend was in
1-ortland when the letter reached its des
tlimtion. and did not return home until
that day.
The elopement was cleverly planned
Miss Stewart evidently packed her be
longings in a trunk the preceding Sunday
ana sent tnem away m an express wagon
wnon ner motner was out of the house
The next day she spent with her mother
downtown, and the latter, on returning
t tne nouse, did not observe what the
girl had done. Tuesday morning the girl
left home, saying that she intended trolng
to visit the friend near Fisher's landing.
The father of Miss Stewart forbade her
going back to Bryn Ma-frr this year, an
parontly because he desired to hold her
away from young Mackenzie. There
seems not to have been so much objec
tion to Mackenzie as a suitor for the rlrl
as to his youth and unproparcdncss for
matrimony. They were frequently to
gether while attending college, and the
parents of Miss Stewart chose that she
stay at home the coming year. She was
p-trong-wlllcd. however, and refused to be
thwarted.
Both families were very wroth at the
sews of the olopement, the father of the
girl being especially, angry.
partraent, as a means of securing quick
1U service irom tne men In time of
duty. This system has been tried In Port
land with good effect. Two other papers
were read at this session: "The Special
sjvrvjcc x'eriormea by water Towers at
Fires in Large BuildlngsT'-by Chief Cook,
of Seattle, and "The Value of Stand
Pipes for Conveying Streams of Water
to Lofty Buildings." by Chief D. T. Sul
livan, of San Francisco. A general dis
cussion followed each paper, and many
points of Interest to firemen were brought
out.
In the evening the chiefs and their
friends took a trip to the Oaks as the
guests of the Portland firemen. Today
there will be business sessions at 9 A. M.
and 8 P. M.. and a drill by the flreboat
George H. Williams, off the tlreboat doclc
at East StarX street. In the afternoon.

INJURED BY AUTOMOBILE
Mrs. Anna W. Rces Is Struck by a
Machine.
Mrs. Anna W. Rces, of 140 East Thirty
fourth street, was knocked down and
dragged several yards by an automobile
driven by "Sketch" Davis, at Second and
Morrison streets.at 8:45 o'clock last night,
and sustained injuries to her back that
necessitated her being taken home in a
carriage. The woman's clothing was par
tially torn from her body, and she re
ceived many scratches and bruises. D. T.
McCartcnj'. who, with his son. Albert Mc
Carteny. occupied seats In the auto, was
thrown from the machine to the pave
ment, but was not Injured.
Mrs. Rees, who had stepped from a
street-car with a transfer to another,
was crossing Morrison street jvhen the
machine struck her In the side and
knocked hor to the pavement. Davis, the
chauffeur, dropped the steering gear and
attempted to pull the woman away from
harm. The auto swung to the north side
of Morrison street and went Into a ditch,
smashing the front part and the wheels.
Mrs. Rees was carried to a drugstore,
where she was attended until a physician
arrived, when she was taken to her home.
Accounts of the -accident vary. Davis
and the two occupants said that a warn
ing -was given, but that Mrs. Rees paid
no attention. Mrs. Rees and bystanders
"who saw the accident claim thnr tin hnm
was sounded and that she was run down
while the auto was going at the rate of
eight miles an hour. Davis figured In an
automobile accident at the Twelve-Mile
House In July. The machine driven by
Davis last night Is one of 20 horsepower.-
FIRE CHIEFS GATHER.
Come From Principal Cities of the
Coast.
Xearly 100 fire chiefs, representing the
fire departments of the principal cities
from Calgary to Los Angeles, were pres
ent at the first day's sessions of their
13th annua convention, which opened in
Turner Hall yesterday. Most of those
present are men well along in years, who
have risen through all the grades of the
service and understand from hard ex
perience all the many ways used In fight
ing the fire demon. Their annual conven
tion Is to an extent a means of obtain
ing recreation from the duties of their
office, but It is even more a time for hard
work in the way of comparing notes and
discussing the latest and most Improved
apparatus used In the sen-Ice and the
various methods employed In the different
cities.
Mayor Lane was present at the morn
ing session and gave the chiefs a hearty
welcome to Portland. ,In reply. J. H. Car
lisle, president of the association, made a
short speech paying high tribute to the
hospitality which they had found await
ing them In Portland. Without more pre
liminaries tho convention took up the
work before It, andtwo papers were pre
sented for consideration. The first, by
A. H. Grout, of Seattle, dealt with "The
Benefits Received Through the Operation
of the Civil Service In the Fire Depart
ment." Andrew Bruce, chief of the de
partment at Hoqulam, Wash., spoke upon
"Fire Protection In the ''Small Towns."
and compared the various methods in.
use.
Discussion in the afternoon centered
upon a paper presented by Chief Camp-,
bell, of Portland, on the topic. "The Ad
vantage of a Fully-Paid Over a Partly
Paid Fire Department." Chief Camp
bell told of the great gain which had
been made In the efficiency of the Port
land department with the change from
call men to regular firemen. He also ad
vocated a careful study and preparation
of printed maps of all the principal build
ings within the district o each fire de-
