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.

SO CHRIS BOOTH STOLE HOKSES
AXD WAG OX.
Explains When Arrested He Also
Took Load of Oats So He Might
Have Ready Money.
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. -
