RAISE DUES TO PAY DEBT COMMKKCIAL CLUB WIIX VOTE OX POUCV TONIGHT. Temporary Advance Is Thought Best Means or Completing Pay ment for Furniture. Whether or not the constitution shall be amended to enable the management to Increase the monthly dues for a. lim ited time Is the principal question to be discussed tonight at a Bpecial meeting of members of the Portland Commercial Club. An inert ase of $1.50 in the monthly dues is deemed advisable In order to liqui date the Indebtedness against the club for Its furnishings. The Indebtedness in question amounts to about KS2.000. and the management believes tha.t the increase in the lues together with the revenue earned by the club will wipe out all In debtedness In a year's time. The club finances are in excellent condition and the impression that the proposed action would Indicate otherwise is entirely erroneous. In speaking jf the proposed change yes terday. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, president of the club said: "Since the Commercial Club has occu pied Us new quarters at Fifth and Oak st-eets. it has been conducted on a finan cial plan that shows & decided profit. At the Lime the new club building was fur nished it was necessary for the manage ment to Incur some indebtedness for fur nishings. This Indebtedness was carried by :3 members of the club, who tempo rarily ioaned their credit for the purpose; several merchants also interested in see ing the club a success -were willing to carrv It for a year, without interest, to the extent of J9CO0. ' "Tnls amount will soon become due and the present management is anxious to liquidate this entire indebtedness within a year. The present dues are $2.30 a month which is only one-half the amount of dues charged by similar organizations throughout the country. At present th9 club has a monthly profit averaging from JlW to With an Increase in the dues of $1.50 a month, the organization would have a monthly Income together with the profit on management, of about jridOO a month, which will at the end of the year nearly. If not entirely, liquidate the outstanding Indebtedness. - "It is s well known fact that no club dining-room is run with profit, on account of the fixed charge being nign ana tne service having to be maintained though really serving but one large meal each day. In spite of this fact, however, the Portland Commercial Club has been man aged during the first six months with practically no loss. It is believed, more over, that under the present management the coming year will show a uniform monthly profit in the dining-room. "Many who opposed raising the dues a year ago now favor the policy. So far ks the Board of Governors Is able to ascertain there is practically no opposi tion to this method of raising the neces sary lunds to liquidate the indebtedness." FINE CLUBHOUSE PLANNED Xorth Albina Push Club Takes Steps Toward Erection of Building. . T. C. Shaw, H. G. Parsons, D. Baugh man; J. H. Nolta and S. I Osburn, committee for the North Albina Push Club, appointed to investigate the feas ibility of erecting a clubhouse on Kll llngsworth avenue, held a meeting Thursday night and selected a lot on Kllllngsworth avenue and Borthwlck street. It was the sense of the com mittee that a two-story building should be erected on the lot 100x30 feet, which should be used for both business and club purposes. The committee favors the formation of a Joint stock com pany, and will probably so recommend in its report to the push club next Monday night. The general plan and purpose are to form a local commercial club mod eled after the Portland Commercial Club and to put up a building in which will be placed club quarters, prob ably on the second floor. The cost of the ground and buildings It is proposed to erect will be between $15,000 and $20,000. The project is meeting with strong support among the large prop erty owners and residents.

Chris Booth, who stole a team of horses, wagon and load of oats from F. E. McEldowney, manager of the Ladd ranch, near Sellwood, was captured in Holbrook yesterday morning by Sheriff Stevens and Deputy Bulger, and brought to Portland on the same train with Claud V. Wells, the alleged robber of the East Side Bank. Both men are now In the County Jail. Booth has confessed. He was formerly employed at the ranch. Booth explained that he Intended to go to work in a mill at Rainier, hauling lumber, and that he needed the team for this purpose. He said that he went to the farm last Wednesday, Intending to take the team, but saw McEldowney walklng about with a lantern, and de cided to put It off a day. . Thursday night he went to the Ladd barn, oiled the wagon, loaded on 10 sacks of oats, and drove away. It took him two hours, he said, to load the oats and bitch the horses. He was sleeping sound ly at a Holbrook farmhouse when he was awakened by the Sheriffs flashlight and looked into the muzzle of a drawn re volver. He sold the oats at Scappoose for $10. A resident of Linnton Innocently offered him $700 for the team, sead to be worth $2000, and paid $20 to bind the bargain, and to get the horses shod. Booth seemed to be much disappointed that he could not fulfil his promise to deliver the team. BRIDE CANNOT BE FOUND Xo Trace of Woman Who Rejected Suitor Says Owes Him $48. Efforts of a deputy constable to in terrupt the honeymoon of Mrs. J. R. Johnson, lately Grace E. Woodard, have thus far failed. Trains have been watched and hotels visited, but the bride and her husband are not to be found, and so William Frank, the Sa lem carpenter, who says she owes him $48, which he wants, may have to get along without the money. The officers have been told that the. bride has already left the city and is now at Hood River with her husband. She is said to have left a few hours before the suit was filed in the Jus tice Court Thursday afternoon. Frank alleges that she borrowed money in small sums almost every day last De cember, promising to return the loans on demand. At that time Frank be lieved he was to be the happy bride groom, but it seems the -woman changed her mind. - 1D87- Trior! a chief dlsDatcher in 1898 and assistant superintendent in December, 1905.
