CLUBS ARE ACTIVE
East Side Organizations Start
Campaign.
WILL HAVE A BUSY WEEK
Proposed Charter, Amendments Come
Fp for Careful Examination and
the People Will Be Told
How Best to Vote.
Thirlnjc the comlnjr week In particular
and until the June election the East Side
push clubs will he specially active, not in
advocacy of the election of any of the
candidates, but the amendments proposed
to the dty charter will be taken up. A
campaign of education will be under
taken through these clubs so that the
-people will understand how to vote on
the amendments.
Tomorrow night the United 'East Side
Push Club will hold a meeting on the cor
ner of East Morrison and Second streets
to hear these amendments discussed, par
ticularly the one concerning the Improve
ments of streets and also the rebuilding
of Madlson-strcet bridge. This organiza
tion is representative of all the East Side
clubs, of which there are 12 at present.
Representatives to the united organiza
tion will be able to carry back to the
suburban clubs the Information they get
at the general meeting. It Is hoped that
every club representatU-e will attend the
meeting tomorrow night and bring along
note books
Business Men's Convention.
On the club programme for the week Is
business man's convention to be held
next Thursday evening In Odd Fellows'
Hall, corner Grand avenue and East Pine
treets. under the auspices of the East
Side Business Men's Club. Secretary
Blgkiw has sent out Invitations tomore
than MO business men. covering the whole
of the East Bide from Bellwood to St.
Johns and eastward to Montavilla, and a
big crowd Is expected. A varied pro
gramme has been provided for this occa
sion. Flve-mlnute talks will be had from
business men as to the best method of
building up and holding East Side trade.
Time ts limited to five minutes, owing to
the large number who are expected to
speak, and only business men will be
given opportunity to be heard. Besides
the talking part of the programme, there
will be an entertainment. There will be a
sparring contest In which Frank Saxe
and Fred Saxe will give an exhibition.
The Oregon Quartette has been en
gaged for the evening. An orchestra has
also been provided.
Mass Meeting at Sellwood.
A mass meeting will be held in Camp
bell's Hall at Sellwood. on Umatilla ave
nue, under the auspices of the Sellwood
Board of Trade, to organize for the erec
tion of a building for the permanent home
of the Sellwood Branch Library, Sellwood
T. M. C. A. United Artisans and the
Board of Trade. It is proposed to unite
the forces of these four organizations in
this movement to purchase ground and
erect a general home for them all under
one roof. Possibly a quarter-block may
be required and a two or three-story
frame or brick structure may be decided
on as the result of a conference of rep
resentatives of these organizations.
The Sellwood Branch Library, under the
management of the Portland Library, Is
proving a great success, the only trouble
being in getting books fast enough to
supply the demand. Mrs. Vorhees, libra
rian, reports that calls run up to MO each
day, which cannot always be met in a
small branch with limited facilities.
There is a branch T. M. C. A. in Sell
wood which seeks a home. The United
Artisans have already purchased a lot for
a building. At the mass meeting plans
will be discussed which may lead to the
erection of an ample home for all.
Seeks Fire Protection.
The Nolta Progressive Club meets to
night on Killlngsworth avenue at 7:30 to
consider fire protection, street improve
ments and the possible Indorsement of
some candidate for Councilman from the
Tenth ward. A volunteer fire company
has been organized and apparatus of some
sort Is wanted.
At the last meeting of the club L. M.
Davis. C. H. Beard and W. 3. Peddicord
were mentioned as Councllman-at-large.
8. ZIgler. C A. Ambrose. H. G. Parker
and C. H. Carter were appointed a special
committee to decide on the qualifications
of these three men. It is a delicate duty.
A report is expected tonight. Politics "is
not to enter Into the discussion.
NOTARY NOT QUALIFIED
Governor Mead Imposed On by
Washington Petitioners.
OLTMPTA. "Wash.. April T. (Special.)
The following statement was given out
at the Governor's office today, the name
being withheld by direction of the ex
ecutive: Governor Mead has demanded from a
notary publlo In Klickitat County a report
of all acts performed by him as a notary
public. This man was appointed in April.
1906. on the regulation petition signed by
20 freeholders certifying that the applicant
possessed the qualifications of an elector
In this state. Recently the Governor has
learned that at the time of his appoint
ment he had been a resident but six
months, and therefore was not an elector
of this state and not eligible for appoint
ment as a notary public.
The Governor has addressed a letter to
each of the signers of the petition calling
his attention to the condition that ex
ists. If the notsry referred to has per
formed any extensive business, the Attorney-General
may be called upon to look
Into the matter further.
WILLAMETTE RIVER RISING
NO DANGER FROM FTjOOD, SATS
FORECASTER BEALS.
Warm Rains Melt Snow In Foothills
and Stream Is Coming
Up Slowly.
Weather Forecaster Beats says there
Is no danger of damage by high water
in the Willamette at this time. The
warm rains of the past few days have
melted much of the snow in the foot
hills. A marked rise in the 'Willamette
has resulted, especially In the upper
river. Mr. Beals does not expect the
river here will exceed the 14-foot stage,
which Is not sufficient to submerse the
lower docks. It la not expected that this
stage will be reached here before
Wednesday.
Reports frem stations along the upper
Willamette are to the effect that this
stream has risen only 2 feet at Salem
during the last 24 hours. At Eugene a
rise of but one-tenth of a foot was re
ported for the same period. The river
at that point last night registered 15.5,
which is considered the highest point it
will reach. The temperature has not been
sufficiently high to melt all of the snow
In the mountains, otherwise there might
have been occasion for anxiety.
The Columbia HJver at stations above
The Dalles is stationary and the same
is true of the Snake River and its tribu
taries. During the last 24 hours the
Columbia at The Dalles has risen but
six-tenths of a foot. This removes all
danger of a flood here from back water.
The fojikwing stages la the Willamette
River reported at & P. M. yester
day:
Bugene, 16.6 feet; rise last eight hours,
0.1 foot.
Harrlsburg, IflLfl feet; rise last eight
hours. 1 foot.
Albany, 13 fee; rise last eight hours,
2.6 feet.
Jefferson. 12J feet; rise last eight -hours,
1.8 feet.
Salem, 12.J feet; rise last eight hours,
1.2 feet.
Portland, 10 feet; rise last eight hours,
U feet.
DR. ATW00D IS ARRESTED
Physician Accused of Illegal Opera
tion on Hat t ie Fee.
The arrest of Dr. C H. T. Atwood. a
physician with offices in the Lewis build
ing. Saturday night, marks the first of a
crusade against physicians who perform
illegitimate operations In this etty. The
taking into custody of Dr. Atwood was
brought about by the revelation of facts
resulting from the arrest of W. B. Haldl
man last Thursday. Haldlman Is charged
with a crime against Hattie Fee, 16 years
old, the daughter of Mrs. Katheiine Fee.
Mrs. Fee for some time was Haldiman's
housekeeper. Mrs. Fee was not informed
of her daughter's condition until Haldl
man had taken the girl to Dr. Atwood
and had an operation performed, and even
after being Informed of this she Is alleged
to have sustained friendly relations witn
Haldiman. The sickness of the girl from
the effects of the operation brought her
case to the notice of the Travelers' Aid
Society, which organization had had
charge of the girl previously, and through
this organisation the crime was revealed
and Haldlman placed under arrest. His
incarceration was kept quiet until the ar
rest of Dr. Atwood was accomplished and
the entire facts in the revolting affair de
veloped. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the Travelers'
Aid Society, who worked , up the case
against the prisoners, made the following
statement relative to the affair:
"These physicians are advertising in
Portland and other places, and we feel
that the time has come when drastic
measures should he used. The District
Attorney's office will force convictions In
all cases where we can get evidence."
Dr. Atwood Is In jail, being unable to
furnish 2250O bonds. Haldlman is held in
bonds of 21500.
Will Prepare Connty Exhibit.
A. F. Miller, of Sellwood, has been com
missioned by the County Court to prepare
an exhibit for Multnomah County to be
installed at the State Fair, and he has
already taken steps to secure a creditable
display. In making his rounds last week
Mr. Miller left pumpkin and squash seeds
and various grain with farmers who will
grow them for the erhlhjt. He visirefl
Falrview and Pleasant Valley and at both
places found the farmers willing to do
all possible to make the display a good
one.

SRAFTERS III DEPARTMENT
POLICEMEN IN UNIFORM SAID
TO BLACKMAIL CITIZENS.
Investigation of Ugly Rumors Now
In Progress Fallen Women
Also Victims.
It has been reported the heads of the
police department that a member of the
force in uniform has been guilty of petty
grafting, his victims being guilty of minor
Infractions of dty ordinances. His de
mands for hush money have been accom
panied by threads to arrest the offender
unless the latter makes it worth the po
liceman's while to overlook the offense.
An Investigation is now being made. If
the charges can be substantiated the sum
mary removal of the officer will foUow.
Special Policeman Joe Fitzsimmons re
ported such a case to Captain Bailey a
short time ago. A traveling man told
Fitzsimmons that while slightly Intoxi
cated an officer approached him and
threatened him with arrest for being out
after hours unless he produced $5. The
man had only $3 with him and the officer
compromised on this amount. The Inci
dent Is said to have occurred at Sixteenth
and Everett streets. The description
given by the traveling man was too vague
to reveal the identity of the alleged
grafter.
It has also been reported at headquar
ters that an officer, usually not in uni
form, has been in the habit of visiting
certain disorderly houses In the North
End and exacting tribute from the In
mates by threats of arrest. The name of
this officer is said to be known, but the
evidence of extortion is not sufficiently
established to warrant his dismissal.
Another person has reported to the po
lice that while Intoxicated he was forced
to pay tribute to an officer whose number
he furnished. Upon investigation it was
found that the officer with this number
was out of the city at the time the Inci
dent occurred.
Buys Site in St. Johns.
The Glllen-Cbambers Asbestos Co
pany, of Portland, has purchased a.
site for Its new plant near the Johfs
fiournU.ll In St. Johns from M. L. Hdl
brook for 26000. It has 60-foot watr
frontage and extends back 600 feet to
the O. R. & K. railway. It will be a
year before the new plant will be la
operation. It will cost about 220,000 Xm
erect the factory. The Portland Col
lapsible Box Company, with 255. 00
capital stock, will build a plant In St.
Johns. A site will probably be secured
on the water front.
We have just received shipments of fancy-finished, grain-fattened, Eastern Oregon
steers and Polk County prize lambs. They will be sold over our counters this week at
the prices mentioned below. iWe have also plenty of choice veal and grain-fed pork.
When Smith says a thing, it's so. iWhen he advertises an article he has it. He ex
pects to give you the best in the land and correct weight on honest scales.
