COMBINATION IS PROPOSED Attempt Is Made to Consolidate With Merchants' Exchange Lit tle Progress Is Made, However. I'ortland-n Board of Trade is in a bad way financially. Although there Is a rtisposition anions officials of the organi sation not to eay much about it. it is understood by those in a position to know that the Institution faces a crisis In Its nffalrs and it Is believed by many to be on its last legs. Heavily in debt, the Hoard Is seeking means to liquidate. Two courses are said to be open to the Board, i ltlier consolidation with some other body or dissolution. A meeting of the board of, directors waH called for yesterday afternoon but, owing: to the absence of a quorum, nothing was done. A later session was decided upon and President Beach will try to secure the presence of enough directors to make up a quorum within the next two days. Action at this meet ins is problematical. The condition of the Board of Trade lias been an open secret for some time, in some quarters. Secretary Miller Is oharKed with mismanagement while others think the organization has set out to do too large a work. Recently the Board branched out from modest quarters In the Chamber of Commerce hulldlnsr and took a large room on the ground floor of the Commercial Club building, where a grain exchange was in stalled. Telegraphic reports of market conditions are received there and bulle tined for the benefit of members. Members of the organization, while they are extremely reticent in discussing the affairs of the Board, say it is approxi mately joono in debt. Of this sum. over is owing the Commercial Club for the Suet five months' rent. A large sum Is At the annual meeting in January, F". E. Beach was elected president, succeeding T. S. Townsend, and Fred Muller was re-elected secretary without opposition. It is said that Mr. Beach was in the dark as to the financial condition of the Board when he accepted the presidency. Resig nations from the organization have been frequent of late. Consolidation by the Board of Trade with the Merchants' Exchange has been suggested but little progress, if any. has been made. It may be that the Board may continue its separate identitv hut if this Is done, members acrree that a thorough reorganization will be necessary. president Beach is determined that the obligations of the Board of Trade shall be met and he Is devising means to liqui date debts contracted by the institution. He ihopes to have the co-operation of the membership in accomplishing it and as soon as a quorum is secured, the matter will be taken up In earnest. PRESIDENT KERR TO SPEAK Will Lecture Friday on Oregon Agri cultural' College. Considerable Interest has been aroused by the announcement of the fact that Br. W. J. Kerr, president of Oregon Agricultural College, is to lecture in Port land next Friday night. President Kerr will speak on "The Agricultural College and the New Education." The alumni of the college and the teachers, as well as those Interested in the educational matters in the state, will have an op portunity to hear the views of the man who stands at the head of the State Col lege. This is an opportunity which will afford the giving- of first-hand informa tion about the Agricultural College and the Government grant institution by one who is recognized as an authority in the work. Dr. Kerr is a new man in the state and will doubtless have much to say that will enlighten and interest his hearers. The lecture will take place at Temple Beth Israel on Twelfth and Main streets, as I1"". Kerr is here at the invitation of Rabbi Wise and the Board of Trustees. All who wish to attend will be welcome.

With the completion of the adminis tration building of the Good Samaritan Hospital, June 1. the immediate con struction of the new wing to St. Vin cent's Hospital and the rapid progress to a finished condition of the new Homeopathic Hospital on the East bide, Portland will soon be the best equipped hospital city on the North western Coast. Plans for St. Vincents Hospital call for a thoroughly adequate operating Theater in the new west wing. in the theater 150 students will be ac comodated with ease, while the oper ating table will be well-placed under an enormous skylight. The lack of a good operating theater where sur gical' clinics can be held has long been a sore spot with medicals students. On the same floor as the. theater and conveniently placed to the elevator And etherizing rooms, will be a number of private operating rooms, which under ordinary circumstances,- will be the ones used. An unique feature Is an operating room for oculists, while a recovery solarium is a pleasing addi tion. As most of the large wards are in the dther wing, the west wing will riot 'be devoted to other than two or three-bed wards and private rooms. Erail Schacht & Son, the architects, an nounce there will be at least 65 pri vate rooms and probably 20 small wards. Most of the private rooms are to be equipped with baths, and the hospital will be a thoroughly equipped hotel as well as a hospital. An X-ray room is to be provided for special work and this is expected to be one of the rooms much in demand Every possible convenience that can add to fhn fmfwt a v.av . . ; i i surgeons and those attending in the ordinary course of business is to be provided, and It is expected that by reason of its equipment alone, St. Vincent's Hospital will rank with the leading hospitals of the country. The Homeopathic Hospital is being constructed on somewhat similar lines. Wards tn the present building under construction will be . but temporary, pending the completion of the whole building. The hospital will flu a much-needed East Side requirement. Construction is of re-enforced concrete, which is considered a new line In hos pital buildings, and the contractors are expected to leave the first wing late this year. The Homeopathic Hos pital will also be different, by having a solarium and recovery room on each floor. The administration building, of the Good Samaritan Hospital, as the new brick building just being finished is in.T"' WiU.,fJ.rm he cenfal portion In the rebuilding scheme being car ried on by the hospital directors. The large entrance hall, small wards and private rons. kitchen and offices and rooms for the nurses are all to be accommodated In the administration building. The building is to be ready for occupancy In the first week of June. It is hoped this will be a move in the scheme for erecting an entirely new building in place of the frame edi fice that has existed for many years. ST. A.

Actual construction will be begun Inside two weeks. Erected in the colonial style the residence will be three floors and a basement. New Apartment House Started, The rapid growth of the apartment house habit is evinced by the forthcoming erection of the "Roscfriend" apartment house on the southwest corner of Sev enth and Jefferson streets by Rosenthal & Krlenaly. Excavation is n progress and material Is being gathered at the spot In preparation for immediate con struction.

Trout, 340 Ebby street, engaged In a rock-throwing contest with her next door neighbor, Mrs. E. N. Estes, early yesterday afternoon. Several rocks were thrown following an argument by the two women concerning their respective merits as such. There was also considerable verbal artillery. Both ceased hostilities before either was hurt, secured their hats and left home at the same time. Mrs. A. Trout went direct o the police station, but Mrs. Etstes had a better idea about where to go. So while Mrs. Trout was pouring her troubles Into the patient, over-worked ears of Captain of Police Bailey. Mrs Estes was up stairs in the Municipal Courtroom getting out a warrant of ar rest. When Captain Bailey was able to get a word In edgewise he advised Mrs. Trout to go upstairs and apply for a warrant. As she turned to go Patrol man Casey, from upstairs, stepped in. "Are you Mrs. Trout who had trouble with Mrs. Estes?" he-Inquired. "I am and I'm-going to have the mean thing arrested right now." said Mrs Trout. ''She's beat you to it," said Casey, hold ing aloft a slip of paper. "I have here a warrant for your arrest, signed by Mrs. Estes." "Oh, the horried woman." exclaimed Mrs. Trout, nearly swooning. Recovering her equilibrium she sub mitted to being -booked, was released on her own recognizance and went- after the belated warrant for Mrs. Estes. It was given her. But the authorities advised both women to drop their g&evanees. as It was the word of one against that of the other as to who was to blame for the rumpus.
