THE 3IORXIXO OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 6, 19tt,
CHAMBER
STANDS
FOR "OPEN SHOP
Board of Trustees, in Resolu
tions, Puts Organization
on Record.
UNIONS ARE NOT OPPOSED
Business Men, However, Are Averse
to Demands That Industries Shall
Maintain "Closed Shop" San
Francisco Cited aa Example.
A strong- resolution, committing the
influence of the Chamber of Commerce
to keeping- Portland an "open shop
city was passed yesterday morning at
the monthly meeting of the board of
trustees of that organization. Prior to
the passing of the resolution, a con
ference was held with a delegation rep
resenting the Oregon Employers As
sociation. This delegation was com
posed of M. C. Banfleld. W. H. Corbett,
K. 1 Thompson and A. C. Callan.
With the delegation the trustees went
over the local situation. It was recited
that labor agitators are in Portland
stirring up the various trade unions to
strike for a "closed shop" policy
throughout the city and state.
The resolution passed unanimously.
A full statement of the position taken
. by the Chamber on the question will
be Issued later. Until then the full
text of the resolution will not be known
or will the extent of proposed action
in the fight.
Fight Xot Against Unions.
President MacMaster, who presided at
the meeting, stated last night that the
Chamber of Commerce has no fight
with the unions, so far as their organ
isation Is concerned. The only question
in which we are concerned, he said, is
a continuance of the present "open
shop" policy in the city.
"We do not desire to see Portland
undergo the same trying circumstances
which resulted in San Francisco from
the 'closed shop policy. If the working
men want to organize, that is none of
our business. When they make de
mands upon the employers as to whom
we shall not employ, thus precipitat
ing industrial troubles and demoraliz
ing the business of the city, it is time
for the interference of business men."
A similar sentiment was expressed by
other members of the board of trustees.
W. H. Corbett, who discussed the situ
ation with the trustees, declared, that
the time has come for action among
the business organizations of the city
generally.
"We know," Bald Mr. Corbett, "that
the skilled mechanics and the labor
ing men In general are well satisfied.
They are getting good wages, are pro
vided with steady employment and
have no cause to complain. It is the
agitators sent In from other places who
lire giving the present trouble."
Secret Con Terences Are Held.
The Impending industrial troubles
have been brewing for over two months.
During that time an organized effort
has been made by the Oregon Employ
ers' Association to avert it. Ially
meetings of the executive committee
of the organization have been held;
several articles in defense of their po
sition have been written and other
work done. The Central Labor Council
of Portland and vicinity replied to one
of these articles, but further than this
nothing of a public nature has been
done by the leaders of the various
organizations demanding' a "closed
hop" policy.
In a preliminary statement, yester
day's resolution calls attention to the
situation in San Francisco, which, it
Is said, is very bad. The industrial
life of that city has been crippled se
verely, said the resolution, owing to
the victory of those advocating the
"closed shop."
BRIDGE IS PROGRESSING
Vlayor Makes Encouraging Report
on Madison-Street Outlook.
Rapid progress was reported by
Mayor Simon yesterday as to the Madison-street
bridge. The Mayor said that,
after an inspection trip, he felt satis
fied that the contractors were "doing
things," and that within a reasonable
time there will be a real bridge across
the Willamette River at that point.
It is the assertion of the consulting
engineers that this span should be in
place for public use by August and the
administration Is using every means
in its power to have it completed at
that time.
The Mayor and members of the City
Council committee yesterday afternoon
made a trip of inspection throughout
the district on the East Side affected
by the proposed Broadway bridge ap
proaches, but nothing definite was de
termined ' upon. They went over the
streets which the O. R. & N, Company
has asked to be vacated in exchange
for the right of way for the span and
also looked into other features of the
situation, all of which relate to the
negotiations between the city and the
company as to proposed bridges.

THEFT MARS HONEYMOON
MONMOUTH COUPLE ROBBED IX
HOTEL ROOMS.
Complain to Police and Then Send
Call to Friends for Money
. for Carfare Home.
An unhappy ending to a honeymoon
was revealed yesterday morning when
Frank Meyerhafer and his bride, of Mon
mouth, Or., reported to Captain of De
tectives Moore that they had been robbed
6f $275,all their funds, and were facing
the drAd necessity of returning to their
home suffering from the chagrin of an
Interrupted honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Mayerhafer are staying at the St. Charles
Hotel.
The young man is1 about 28 years old
and the bride 16w He works on a farm
near Monmouth. She was given away
by her father on Easter fiunday. Her
parents conduct the boarding camp where
some land is being cleared adjoining the
rsnch where Meyerhafer worked. The
$275 represented all the savings of the
bridegroom and a goodly sum given by
the girl's father as her dower.
The loss was bitterly taken by the
young people. Teeixs streamed down the
eyes of the bride when the discovery was
made, and the bridegroom wore a sor
rowful look when he reported to the po
lice. He was referred to the office of
the District Attorney, where a warrant
for John Doe was issued, because the
Meyerhaferg had suspicions as to the
thief.
When they arrived at the hotel he said
he noticed three men who had been at
work clearing land near Monmouth. One
of them he saw later watching in the
hallway outside his room door. He and
his wife, fearing to carry this sum with
them, had secreted it in their suitcase
and had gone out to a restaurant. The
room door had been left unlocked. When
they returned it was locked and Mrs.
Meyerhafer found that she could not un
lock the suitcase. Investigation showed
that the lock had been forced with a file
Jiandle and closed again, with a piece of
the file broken off in the lock.
Mr. and Mrs. Meyerhafer sent? word
yesterday morning to their friends in
Monmouth for funds to pay their hotel
bill and to take them home again.

MORRIS TRIAL SET
Oregon Trust Cashier Secures
Delay Until May 3.
EMBEZZLEMENT IS CHARGE
See Woodburn Orchards Co.'s adver
tisement, page 9, today's issue.
Venezuela Is establishing wireless stations
and using American apparatus.
Transaction Alleged Is One Which
W. H. Moore Declares Present'
Defendant Suggested Sub-
1 etitution Is Averred.
W. Cooper Morris, who from the. tes
timony in the recent trial of W. H.
Moore was made to appear as the evil
genius of the wrecked Oregon Trust &
Savings Bank, will be tried In connec
tion with the bank wreck on May 3. This
date for his first case was set yesterday
by Judge Morrow, Deputy District At
torney Fitzgerald, representing the pros
ecution, and Attorney Seneca Fouts, representing-
the defense, being called in
conference. Morris will be tried under
an indictment charging; embezzlement.
Effort was made by Deputy District
Attorney Fitzgerald to have this case
tried on April 14, but Attorney Fouts de
clared that he would be unprepared for
It at so early a date and pleaded strongly
for more time. At present. Mr. Fouts is
the only attorney appearing for Mr. Mor
ris, but It Is understood that ex-Judge
Gordon, of Tacoma, has recently been en
gaged by the accused cashier to take
charge of the defense here.
The indictment upon which Mr. Morris
is to be tried grew out of the transac
tions of December 15, 190, now the most
famous date in the bank's history. Mr.
Morris is jointly accused with Mr. Moore
of taking out one note for $39,100 and an
other for $10,000. both given by Mr. Moore,
and one for J25.C00 and another for $900,
both given by Mr. Morris, to the bank in
payment for capital stock, and substituting-
in their stead an equal amount of
telephone stock received by the bank
and owned by the bank as a bonus with
telephone bonds. To effect this transac
tions, it is charged, they altered the
books' by debiting bonds and warrants
with an amount equal to the with
drawal of the notes and credited loans
and discounts with a like amount.
At the same time another cash entry
of $50,000, which had been hanging on
the -books for several months and car
ried as a "cash item," was withdrawn
and an equivalent amount of stock sub
stituted and a cash surplus' of $50,000
created. It is alleged. The notes which
were withdrawn were never found.
Mr. Moore admitted on his trial that
stock had been substituted for notes
withdrawn, but said that Mr. Morris
had suggested it.
TWO POORFARM DECISION'S DUE
Contests Over Sale by County Again
In Court Today.
Questions Involved In the contest
over the sale of the County Poorfarm
on the Canyon road to W. A. Spanton
are to be decided by Circuit Judge Bro
naugh this morning.
There are two suits pending over the
poorfarm issue. In one of which Frank
Bollam. the plaintiff, asks that the Cir
cuit Court issue an order restraining:
the County Court from giving Spanton
a deed, the charge being made that
Spanton entered into collusion with
four other real estate men to prevent
competitive bidding at the time the
farm was advertised for sale. These
four are H. B. Reynolds. B. M. Lom
bard, D. E. Keasey and Fred A. Jacobs.
They are made defendants in Bollam's
suit, together with ex-County Judge
Webster, County Commissioners Light
ner and Barnes, Harry L. Suydam, the
United States Trust Company and
Spanton.
Motion Tor Judgment Pending.
In this case a temporary order, re
straining the County Commissioners
from giving Spanton a deed to the
farm, was issued. Upon motion of the
defendants Judge Bronaugh later va
cated this order. The defendants then
interposed a motion for judgment on
the pleadings, which means that If the
motion is allowed no testimony will be
taken, the case going In favor of the
county, Spanton and the other defend
ants. If Judge Bronaugh should not al
low the motion this morning the ca&Q
will go to trial on its merits.
The other case is that of B. M.
Lombard and H. L. Suydam against
Spanton and Reynolds. In that case
Lombard asks that Spanton be com
pelled by an order of the court to sign
a declaration of trust in the property,
showing that he holds the title in part
for others. The farm consists' of 202
acres and Spanton's bid called for the
payment of $5000 cash, $30,000 within
30 days, $35,000 in two years, $35,000
in three years and $49,530 In four
years, a total of $154,530.
Lombard and Suydam allege that on
June 16, 1909, Spanton, Lombard, Kea
sey, Reynolds and Jacobs signed an
agreement that if either secured an
option to the property It would be held
for all alike. It is also alleged that
Lombard and Jacobs advanced a large
part of the $5000 paid "in cash, and
that Jacobs and Keasey afterward
transferred to Lombard their shares in
the deal, so that Lombard holds three
fifths interest. Reynolds conveyed to
Suydam on June 25, it is said, half
his fifth interest. Reynolds and Span
ton are said to deny the existence of
the agreement.
Tender of $30,000 Made.
Lombard and Suydam further allege
that on July 12 they notified the County
Court of their willingness to pay the
entire $30,000 due in 30 days in case
Spanton failed, and that five days later
they actually tendered this sum to the
court, offering to execute a mortgage
for the remainder, and demanding a
deed. They say that Spanton secured
his deed to the land.
After the complaint was filed Lom
bard decided that he wished to sue
alone and ait order allowing him to
do so was made. Then the defendants
filed a motion to vacate the order al
lowing plaintiffs to plead separately
and to- strike their supplemental com
plaints from the files. It is this- mo
tion which Judge Bronaugh will pass
upon this morning.

CENSUS DOCUMENTS OUT
CARLOAD OF MAIti PACKAGES
SENT TO ENUMERATORS.
Supervisor Beach Issues Announce
ment to Hotel and Roomlng-
House Proprietors to Aid Work.
Almost a car load of mall packages
were forwardea yesterday from the
office of Supervisor Beach, In charge of
the census enumeration of the Second
Congressional District of Oregon, in
which Portland is situated. The parcels
contain blanks for use of the enumera
tors appointed for the district.
Among the thousands of Portlanders
who are making their homes in boarding
houses, lodging-houses- and hotels. It is
probable that many hundreds will be
omitted from the count because of not
being at home when the agent of the
Government calls. Individual blanks may
be obtained by proprietors of lodging
houses or citizens who are thus located,
and will be accepted by the enumerators
when delivered at their place of abode
or mailed to the office.
Only SO enumerators had failed to re
port at headquarters last night. It is
believed by Mr. Beach that the larger
part of this number of delinquents will
file their acceptances today, and that
everything will be in readiness for the
campaign for a larger Portland, which is
designated to begin on the morning of
April 15. Within the 15 days following
that date the work of finding and secur
ing the antecedents of every resident of
the city must be completed.
Among the betting fraternity books are
already being made on the total popula
tion which the count will reveal as the
correct number of inhabitants of Port
land. Yesterday the office of Supervisor
Beach was visited by a number of cigar
store dealers who were anxious to secure
advance information.
The chief of the census declined to
make any "guesses" as to the outcome
of the enumeration, and the . inquirers
were equally secretive.
"Unless the people as a mass and the
commercial organizations representing
business interests wake up to the neces
sity of aiding the enumerators by In
teresting themselves in spreading the
notion that Portland will benefit by
having an honest count and letting the
people know the -character of informa
tion which the men will require, it will
be impossible to gather all the names,"
remarked Mr. Beach.

The Proof of the Superiority of This Tract
Is Not Alone in the Fact That It Has
Made Record Sales, But That These
Record Sales Continue
It is a peculiar fact that the majority of our sales
are to the people who have thoroughly gone over
other residence additions and are therefore in a
condition to compare prices, improvements, car
service, distance from town and other features that
go to make up a high-class residence section.
There is greater individuality, in the boulevard
system, the manner of improvements and the gen
eral lay of the land in Laurelhurst - than in any
other residence district of Portland ; and people
who have seen some of the others are quick to
realize the advantages of Laurelhurst over any
other section of the city. Laurelhurst values are
attracting favorable mention everywhere. The
first section is practically sold out, but when wTe ad
vertised the first low prices in that section people
hurried to buy. Many have already sold out at ad
vances of from $200 to $300 per lot, while others are
holding on for the greater advance in values, which
"are bound to "come. Lots in the northeast quar
ter are equally, desirable and are selling equally
low, and we urge upon every person who is consid
ering the purchase of a high-class home-site to see
Laurelhurst. " Values wTill never be so low as now.
After April 15 we advance every lot in the north
east quarter from $200 to $300 per lot. Now is the
time to buy and take advantage of this advance.
When lots next door to the one you own advance
this much the value of your own lot advances
equally. See Laurelhurst now. Do not temporize.
Take Montavilla or Rose City Park cars. Both
lines run to and through the'property. Or call at
bur office and we will show you the property in,
our automobiles. Deal with any of our authorized
brokers if you prefer. But remember

The girl's escapade is attributed to a
feverish desire to go upon the stage

that in their honest opinion the girl
