C. A. BUILDING CAMPAIGN.
Neesseary to be raised $350,000
Already pledged 63,150
Balance to be raised $-'8(i.50
Money for the new building to be
erected jointly by the Young Men's
and Young Women's Christian Associa
tions rolled in on the soliciting com
mittees' headquarters from many sources
yesterday. By evening $13,150 had been
pledged, and this as a result of the first
announcement of the whirlwind campaign
whereby it is intended to raise $350,000
In a period of 18 days.
This showing Is a nattering one when
it is considered that the day was taken
up chiefly by work of organization for
systematic money-getting. Today the
campaign will begin in earnest and a
veritable army of workers will lay siege
to the generosity of hundreds of business
and professional men who can afford to
give and who have been listed as suf
ficiently interested in the cause to loosen
up their wallet-strings. It will not be
surprising if $50,000, or even more, of the
required $350,000 Is on hand by tonight.
The progress of this novel and am
bitious fight for a new home on the
part of the two associations will be in
dicated at all hours of the day. At the
committee headquarters. Sixth and Mor
rison streets, northwest corner, a huge
clock-like mechanism -has been set up.
The hands will point out the amount
raised, being changed as each five or ten
thousand dollars is added to the fund.
S. G. Reed, secretary of the citizens'
committee, in company with General Sec
retary Stone and International Secretary
Ward, of the Y. M. C. A., went out on
a little still hunt yesterday afternoon and
when they got back they had secured
$11,000 In pledges. These subscriptions
were made by: K. Livingston, $1000; Dr.
J. K. Wetherbee. $1000; Samuel P. Lock
wood, $1000; Pacific Export Lumber Com
pany. $1000; Drs. S. A. Brown and E. C.
Brown. $5000; P. J. Mann, $1000; Mr. and
Mrs. James F. Failing, $1000. Smaller
contributions, ranging frim $100 to $500,
totalled $2150. thus bringing the grand
total to $13,150. Not a few of these con
tributions were taken to headquarters by
anxious enthusiasts.
The citizens' committee met at noon
yesterday at the Portland and talked
business during luncheon. There -were 36
memoers of the committee on hand and
every one manifested earnest enthusiasm
in the work, expressing willingness to
make any little sacrifice necessary to
devote time to the work. Tom Richard
son, blng present, was called upon for
his views and made a brief impromptu
address, dealing with the value of the
association work from its material stand
point. He asserted that the benefit to
Portland of achieving the tk which
has been set about in the matter of
raising funds and the erection of the
building under contemplation will prove
of more benefit to Portland than $1,000,
000 spent in systematic advertising.
That the undertaking has the widest
public sympathy was demonstrated in
many ways yesterday by the active in
terest taken by committee workers, but
in no way more forcibly than when a
newsboy stepped . into headquarters and
seeing Mr. Ward said:
"Say. mister. I've got 50 cents I want
to give for this new Y. M. C. A. you're
getting up."
Mr. Ward suggested that he interest
other newpboys and pool their subscrip
tions. Later in the afternoon, when he
had all but forgotten the Incident, Mr.
Ward was surprised to receive a visit
from two delegations .of newsboys who
said they had organized to raise money
among the boys and that they would put
in their best licks In the work.
When last evening came the organiza
tion of the two principal committees, to
which the bulk of the money-raising
work hag been assignPd. was fully com
pleted and ready for work. The women's
committee, headed by Mrs. E. A. Rockey.
met at 2:30 o'clock at the Portland, and
from the amount of determined interest
1 splayed by these ladies it is safe to say
that they will raise their $105,000 days
ahead of time.
Tonight at a banquet at the Portland
Hotel the younger workers will launch
their campaign. There will be a Joint
meeting of the young men's and young
women's associations in conjunction with
the banquet. A large Invitation list has
been sent out and many acceptances re
ceives. The younger workers have vol
unteered to raise $60,000, the young men
insisting that they be assigned to raise
$.V.000 of the amount, leaving $10,000 to
be raised by the young women.
WOMEN ASSIST IN GOOD WORK
Y. W. C. A. Workers Take Active
Steps to Raise 3100,000.
A large number of prominent women
answered the call for the meeting of the
subscription committees at the Portland
Hotel yesterday afternoon and deep in
terest was manifested in the plans for
the building campaign by the various
speakers. Mrs. A. E. Rockey. chairman
of the general women's committees, pre
sided, and Miss Taylor, Miss Barnes and
Miss MacCorkle spoke at length on the
object of the work to be undertaken, the
sacrifices entailed and the manner and
spirit In which the work should be ac
complished. The meeting from every
standpoint was very successful, and there
seems to be no doubt but that the $100.r
000 which this committee has pledged it
self to raise will be forthcoming as soon,
if not sooner, than the amount which the
men are attempting to collect.
A carefully arranged plan of soliciting
funds has been prepared and the greatest
pains will be taken not to get the names
and territories confused so that citizens
will be approached by more than one
worker of the building committee. The
committee members ore dividing them
selves into sub-committees of ten with
chairmen to whom they report daily and
from whom they receive instructions.
Mrs. Rockey will be at headquarters at
Sixth and Morrison streets each day dur
ing the campaign and her services are
at the disposal oi an committee worKers.
The headquarters telephone is Main 5345.

HOUGHTON IN TOILS
Paroled Convict Must Serve
Remainder of Sentence.
ARRESTED FOR STEALING
Companion of Linnton Road High
waymen Confesses He Helped
Them Rob Clothing Store
in tho North End.
"Chick" Houghton was arrested by Act
ing Police Detective Circle yesterday
afternoon on a charge of stealing cloth
ing from a North Third-street store, and
he made a full confession to Captain of
Detectives Eruin. The prisoner is a
noted criminal, whose "line" is anything
from larceny to highway robbery and
whose record is posted throughout the
country in rogues' galleries. He was out
on parole, and has yet two and one
half years to serve in the Oregen Peni
tentiary for larceny from the person.
Hardly had the young criminal he is
only 29 years old been lodged behind the
bars when his father, bent with age and
totally blind, led by a friend, entered
police headquarters to inquire as to the
amount of bail that -would be required to
release his wayward son. No bail was
fixed, because of the conditions of the
parole, the probability being the prisoner

Men's Committee.
will be returned to the penitentiary to
serve the unexpired term.
Through the years of sorrow, brought
on by the boy's crimes, the aged father
and mother have never ceased to assist
him- in gaining his liberty, and a snug
fortune has been spent in a vain effort
to reform, him.
It was through the unceasing efforts of
the parents that Governor Chamberlain
paroled young Houghton. They labored
early and late, securing numerous signa
tures to a petition, and at last were re
warded. They were happy in the belief
that their son would Improve the oppor
tunity and mend his ways, but the police
declare he is .strongly suspected of com
plicity ih some of the recent daring crimes
in Portland, among them the robbery of
a Jewelry store.
Chick"- Houghton is said to have been
for at least one week a pal of Jesse Hall
and Tim Bernard, automobile bandits re
cently arrested by Captain of Detectives
Bruin and Policeman Price, after holding
up two parties of autoists on the Linnton
road. Hall and Houghton were in David
Stein's North Third-street store ten days
ago and Hall purchased a revolver for
Houghton. The latter is said to have
stolen three pairs of trousers while the
proprietor's attention was on the revolver
"Chick" Houghton.
deal, and it is for this alleged crime that
Houghton was arrested yesterday. He
has been positively identified as the triief,
and the trousers have been recovered.
Houghton, in' liis younger days, had a
number of wild companions, all of whom
have become confirmed criminals. Arthur
Hammond. Fred Love, "Bill" Harris and
Fred Raymond comprised what at one
time was considered to be the most des
perate group of young criminals ever in
festing Portland. They held forth in
Goose Hollow, terrorized residents there
for years, committed numerous depreda
tions and all sooner or later landed In
jail. -
Fred Love went to Idaho Penitentiary
for breaking into and robbing a Post
office. He -was sentenced to 15 years, but
three months ago broke out and is at
large. Hammond is being hunted, charged
with complicity in the robbery. Harris
and Hammond were arrested here for
shop-lifting. Harris being sentenced to
one year in the County Jail and Ham
mond being sent to the Penitentiary for
two years. Raymond is now serving a
term of seven years in Washington Peni
tentiary for burglary committed in
Seattle.
Burned District Is Rebuilt,
Four years ago forest fires swept the
Springwater country. In Clackamas
County, and carried destruction about
Mount Scott. Many farmers lost every
thing they had. . Homes and barns and
schoolhouses were destroyed, and crops
went up in flames. There were nun-

dreds left in destitution, and Portland
was called' on to supply their immediate
wants: but all this has been changed.
Homes and barns have been rebuilt,
fences replaced and more land cultivated.
In the Springwater district, and at Lents,
where, fire, was tho most destructive, all
evidence of the march of that fire has
completely disappeared. At Springwater
the farmers have this year reaped the
biggest harvest in years. No more
charred homes and barns are to be seen
in that section. All about Mount Scott
new homes have sprung up and a 12-room
schoolhouse has taken the place of the
two-room building that was then de
stroyed by fire.

NO HOPE OF CONVICTION
Pawnbrokers Escape Punishment
for Keeping Open on Sunday.
Legal technicalities threaten to shut off
the police in their crusade against local
pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers.
The -city ordinance seems to be as deli
cate as the old concert-hall law. Six de
fendants, arrested upon complaint of John
A. Mears. of thet detective bureau, were
before Municipal Judge Cameron yester
day morning and pleaded not guilty to
charges of keeping their establishments
open on Sunday. Trial date was set for
September 35.
The ordinance relative to pawnshops is
the one that is Just now causing trou
ble. Unlike the ordinance governing second-hand
stores, it does not provide that
the doors shall be closed Sunday, and
there the police find their source of an
noyance. "The pawnbroker has a right to enter
his store, leave the door open, polish up
his wares and post his books on Sunday
if he chooses, and unless It can be shown
that he made a loan or sold goods, he is
within the law.'" says Deputy City At
torney Fitzgerald.
The police insist that a pawnbroker
should have no more right to leave open
the doors of his establishment than
should a second-hand dealer, and state,
also, that it is next to imnossihln tn -
cure evidence such as the City Attorney's
UUILO ucaidiias.

ROW OVER PAVING
Attorney for Barber Company
Accuses Competitor.
TWO BIDDERS FOR JOB
Barber Asphalt Company Offers One
and Mysterious Mr. Solon the
Other Good Faith
Solon Questioned.
of
A new phase of the local paving fight
was brought to light yesterday before the
street committee of the Executive Board
in a discussion during which many
charges and reflections upon the methods
of the Warren Construction Company
were mads by Dan J. Malarkey. attorney
for the Barber Asphalt Company. Mr.
Malarkey accused the opposing firm of
entering blind bids for street improve
ments in bad faith to the city and for
the purpose of discrediting the bitumin
ous macadam pavement.
The trouble arose over bids made un
der the newly enacted bituminous mac
adam pavement ordinance, which was
passed for the purpose of permitting open
competition for street improvements.
The improvement under consideration
was for a single block on Oak street
between Second and Third. There were
two bids, one from the Barber Asphalt
Company and the other signed by P. O.
Solon. The latteir caused all the dis
turbance. Attorney Malarkey addressed the board,
declaring that in his opinion the bid
signed by P. O. Solon was entered at the
Instigation of the Warren Construction
Company. He asserted that he believed
it was put In with the purpose of block
ing the operation of the new law and
holding up the improvement by injunc
tion if possible. The Scion bid was' $1232,
or nearly $400 under the City Engineer's
estimate, and Mr. Malarkey cited this as
evidence that it was put in at an un
profitable figure in order to leave no
doubt that it would be below the esti
mate of any and all bona fide bidders.
When demand was made by Mayor
Lane to know who Solon is. he received
but little satisfaction. E. B. Seabrook,
who appeared as attorney for Solon, ad
mitted he had never seen the man, but
said he was a citizen of San Francisco.
He had become connected with the case,
he said, through a communication he
had received from Mr. Solon from Coos
Bay. The only other time he had been
consulted in the matter was by a man
who had called at his office and who
had desired his name withheld. Mr. Sea
brook declined to show the letter from
Solon or to give the name of his mys
terious visitor.
A sensation was sprung when Mayor
Lane and the members of the board com
pared the signatures of Solon on the bids
with the signature of Solon on Mr. Sea
brook's power of attorney and found
they were apparently written by different
persons. Mr. Malarkey made use of this
point, asserting that it was additional
evidence that there was "a nigger in the
woodpile." He asserted that everything
tended to prove that the Warren Con
struction Company was behind the Solon
bid and was making it in an underhand
way for the sole purpose of thwarting
the proper laying of the pavement.
"Some circumstances about this mat
ter appear very suspicious," said Mayor
ILane. "If the Warren Construction
Company is behind this bid they could
enjoin the making of the improvement
in their own name and then calmly sub
mit to the injunction under the name
of P. O. Solon. If there is collusion I
mean to find it out. and this man Solon
must disclose himself and show that all
is on the square before we shall consider
hio bid."
After Richard Montague denied that P.
O. Solon was connected with the Warren
Construction Company the matter was
laid over until a more thorough investi
gation can be made.
MANY PAY LAST TRIBUTES
Funeral of Mrs. Jacob Fleischner
Held From Late Residence.
The funeral of Mrs. Jacob Fleischner
was held yesterday morning at her late
residence. 231 Seventh street. Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, of Temple Beth Israel,
officiating. While the funeral was pri
vate, the large family connection of this
prominent pioneer woman filled the resi
dence and a long line of carriages fol
lowed the remains to the Jewish ceme
tery, where the interment was made. The
floral offerings were remarkable for their
profusion and beauty.
The eulogy which Rabbi Wise delivered
at the bier of Mrs. Fleischner was rarely
sympathetic, beautiful and true. He was
her personal friend and as her pastor
knew of the many exceptional virtues
and traits of character which went to
make her one of the best loved and high
ly respected women of Oregon. Her gen
erous charities for which she had become
weir known were spoken of, and the
gentle homcllfe which commanded the
personal devotion of her several children
and scores of friends throughout her life
were eulogized in beautiful terms by the
gifted speaker.
The deceased was mother of I. N. and
Max Fleischner. Mrs. Rudolph Goldsmith.
Mrs. Sol Blumauer and Mrs: George H.
Davis, of San Francisco.
The pallbearers, all of whom were con
nected with the firm of Fleischner, Mayer
& Co., were A. T. Huggins. G. O. Gib
son, A. Howard. Samuel Hirsch, S. Fraz
er and Harry Klngsley. A long line of
carriages followed to the Jewish ceme
tery, where Mrs. Fleischner was laid to
rest in the family plot.
WILL BRING A TEST CASE
Fast Side Improvement Association
in Earnest Regarding Sidewalks
The East Side Improvement Association
at its meeting last evening decided to
bring about a test case to ascertain defi
nitely if the city can lay sidewalks and
collect the money for the work where
a property-owner refuses or neglects to
build the sidewalk when notified to do
so. Conditions in Holladay Addition.
where many blocks of wooden sidewalks
have rotted out, inspired this action.
Joseph Buchtel, C. E. Fields and W. H.
McMonies were appointed a special com
mittee to ask the Council to build a
sidewalk in this section and demand that
the Oregon Real Estate Company pay
for it so that a test case may result.
This company has resisted all notices to
lay new sidewalks.
W. B. Chase, former City Engineer,
expressed doubt that a foundation for a
reinforced concrete bridge can be obtained
in Sullivan's Gulch.
Regarding school children's commuta
tion street-car tickets, it was reported
that they were being refused on the O.
W. P. lines, although accepted on the
remainder of the branches. As all the
lines are under one management it was
considered that all should accept these
tickets. Attention of Manager Fuller
will be called to the subject.

INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE
Total Xumber of Students at Public
Schools Yesterday, 14,410.
Attendance at the Portland schools
showed a good increase yesterday over
the opening day. reaching a total of 14.-
410. Many additional pupils were added
to the enrollment of each of the schools
but the greatest increase was shown on
the East Side. Hardly any hopplckers
have returned to the city and the attend
ance will grow rapidly for several weeks.
The attendance Monday of 13,4 is
much larger than on any previous open
ing day. Compared with the 12.870 for
1903. It is a very large gain because the
schools opened one week later last year.
In 1904 no record is obtainable of the first
day attendance, as four of the largest
schools were delayed in commencing
work. In 1903. the attendance on the first
day was OS42: the preceding year It was
9S60. and in 1901 it was 9268.
The High School pupils were divided
yesterday between the two institutions.
The West Side High School has an en
rollment of 855. and the new East Side
High School organization contains 306.

Grspe-Sut Accomplished What Ocean
Travel and Medicine Could Sot.
It's not what you eat. but what you
digest that gives strength.
Many a man drags around year after
year half dead, because his food L not
digested and he takes first one kind of
medicine and then another without re
liefbecause medicines cannot take the
place of well digested food, and never
win.
Give nature a fair chance, as a promi
nent German-American of chicaEO did
and if you're in a bad fix from stomach
trouble, read what he says and try it on.
"About a year ago." he writes, "I was
afflicted with stomach trouble which so
enfeebled me I had to quit work. I grew
so lean I was merely skin and bones.
"I had the advice of six different doc
tors and two college professors. One
thought I had cancer of the stomach, an
other advised a change of climate and
recommended ocean travel. I decided to
follow this last and went abroad for
three months.
"But my health became worse and
worse. The least amount of food caused
me awful paan, and I obtained relief only
by having, my stomach pumped out.
"Nothing did me any good. Soon I
could take no food at all except strained
oat meal; then a time came when I could
not even take that. I lost courage and
prepared myself to die. At that time my
wife brought me a package of Grape
Nuts, but I had no confidence in any
thing any longer.
"She finally persuaded me to taste a
few spoonfuls of the new food and to my
surprise I retained it and had no distress.
That made me feel fine and encouraged
to make another trial for life. For sev
eral months I ate nothing else every day
a bowl of Grape-Nuts with cream, and
thus I regained my health, my old-time
weight and am now as well && ever. I
could not live without Grape-Nuta."
