3Vtany of them ere soliciting subscrip
tions and donations, to be turned over in
a few days to the trustees of the fund,
which should place the total beyond the
$2000 mark. In this connection, mem
bers of the benefit committee, composed
of the city editors, of the newspapers of
: Portland, desire to announce that every
dollar received and placed in the fund
. will be used solely for Miss Mahr"s
.Jbeneflt. It is their ambition to raise a
sum sufficiently large so that it may be
inves:ed in such a way as to give Miss
ilahi a life income.
Considerable anxiety has been mani-
ested in various quarters as to the dis
position of the fund. Prominent finan
ciers and philanthropists of the city will
be consulted as to the investment of the
money collected. Anxiety has also been
manifested and fears expressed that the
unfortunate girl's huBband might get
ome of the benefits. This will be ab
solutely guarded against.
Theater Is Donated.
The proprietors of the Lyric Theater,
Messrs. Keating and Flood, have do
nated their theater, rent free, for the
bonent performance, July 26. The Arm
strong Musical Comedy Company will
also give their services absolutely free.
The proprietors of the Holly Press have
donated the printing. The public may
therefore be assured of the fact that
every dollar raised from the sale of the
benefit tickets will be placed to the credit
of the benefit fund.
The Hood River delegates to the Re
publican state assembly yesterday came
to the front with a collection of $15, $1

which' they deposited at the office of the
Kvenlng Telegram. Charles T. Early,

gestion that other delegations to the state

Mrs. John Hensley.
OREGON CITY, Or., July 20.
(Special.) Word "has been re
ceived in this city of the death
of Mrs. John Hensley, at Manila,
P. I., on June 17. Mrs. Hensley
was formerly Miss Nettie Kel
logg, of this city, and was the
daughter of the late James Mc
Cord and Mrs. CHve McCord.
She was born and reared on the
Kellogi? farm near this city, and
left several years ago for Mani
la, where she was married to
John Hensley. She was 37 years
old and was a highly 'esteemed
young woman.
Besides her widowed mother,
Mrs. Olive McCord, of Portland,
she leaves her husband, in Mani
la, one sister, Mrs. Blanche
Mulvaney, of California; and the
following brothers: Archie,
George, William and Melvin
McCord.
ceeded in keeping the vessel on an
even keel, despite the receding tide,
but a heavy swell from an inbound
Nome liner soon undid the work of the
crew by toppling the Dode to star
board, in . which position she rapidly
filled, leaving nothing; but the upper
nouse aDove water.
The submerged craft is in a pro
tected position and thve is little like
lihood of storms. - It Is believed little
difficulty will be experienced in float
ing the Dode as soon as the wreck
ing' tug Santa Cruz, which has been
requisitioned, reaches the scene.
LIGHTING RATES GO UP
FOREST GROVE FIXBS MUNICI
PAL SYSTEM EXPENSIVE.
Council's Desire to Have Consumers
Install Meters Does Not Meet
With Favor.
FOREST GROVE. Or., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Voters who believed that the oper
ation of the electric light plant bv the
city would give better service at cheaper
rates have been deceived as to the cost
of electric lighting. The Council at its
meeting yesterday proposed an ordinance
fixing the flate rate at 6 cents per candle
power instead of 3 cents as at present.
This 6-cent flat rate holds for consump
tion up to BO candlepower. Most of the
smaller residences have taken from $1
up to worth of light per month. The
new rate makes electric lighting almost
prohibitive for the poor people- -
The Councilmen say they want every
consumer to te put on a meter basis.
The small consumer of electric light does
not ieei tnat ne is making a good invest
ment when he is forced to pay $15 for a
ugnt meter.
The same proposition faces the water
consumer, the Council being anxious to
force the use of meters. At the time of
tne installation of the new system, it
was said .that the water rates would be
lowered because -of the abundance of wa
ter that the new gravity system would
supply, but the proposed ordinance raises
the rates on water to $1 per month for
one taucet in a residence and a fee of 25
cents for each additional faucet. More
over, the rate for street sprinkling about
me residence oistrict nas been raised
to 50 cents per month for 75 feet.
LABOR CASE NOT ENDED
Stove Company's Withdrawal Will
Not Stop Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, July 20. Until of
ficials of the Department of Justice
have communicated with Attorney-General
Wickersham, now en route to
Alaska, no announcement will be made
here concerning the procedure which
may be had in the pending prosecutions
-of officials of the American Federation
of Labor, growing out of their troubles
with the Buck Stove & Range Co., of
St. Louis.
These cases are pending in the United
States Supreme Court.
It is pointed out that while the con
tempt procedlngs were pushed by the
attorneys of the stove company, which
has now withdrawn these legal repre
sentatives, the case has gone beyond
them and the issue is at present one) of
National law and the dignity of the
courts.
Secretary Morrison, of the American
Federation of Labor and one of the
defendants in the contempt cases pend
ing In the Supreme Court, today aaid
the peace pact with the stove com
pany would not affect the judicial pro
ceedings against the labor leaders.
"The Supreme Court." said Mr. Mor
rison, "will pass upon the question
whether the labor men or the courts
were - in error as to who violated the
provision of the Constitution aruar&n.-

MORTGAGE TAX IS SCORED
Marlon County Financiers Say
- Has Driven Out Big Loans.
It
SALEM. Or., July 20. (Special.)
Marlon County is one of the few In the
state that has been assessing mortgage
notes the past number of years and In
quiry among local bankers and capitalists
develops that such assessments have
driven hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth of loans away from the city.
From the fact that a tax on personalty
of this description would fall heavily upon
the one making the loan, requests on gilt
edge security have been rejected repeat
edly and large sums of money have been
allowed to stagnate.
Financial men of responsibility say that
if this system of taxation spreads
throughout the state, the same conditions
will be experienced all over Oregon that
have been objectionable to capitalists
here and that loans which are now se
cured in Oregon, will be refused here
after and borrowers will go to Washing
ton or other states, where there is no
mortgage tax.
The rule has seemed to work both ways
in Marion County. Not only has local
capital refused to make loans of any con
sequence, but borrowers have gone away
from the county, as it is a foregone
conclusion the one holding a tax note
would increase the Interest sufficiently to
cover the tax.
Klamath Falls Enters Protest.
KLAMATH FALLS, July 20. (Spe

today protesting- against the possible
change in time of the arrival of the
local train in this city. The Klamath.
Chamber of Commerce is making an
effort to have a new train placed on
the run and it was suggested that,
owing to the Portland train arriving
at Weed about four hours after the
one from San Francisco, the local be
held to connect with the former in
stead of pulling out for Klamath Falls
upon the arrival of the San Francisco
train. At present the train is sched
uled to arrive here at 6:15 p. M.
and to change it to four hours later
would bring it in in the night.
H. D. CHAPMAN IS DEAD
Native of Portland Did Newspaper
Work In Early Days.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. July 20. (Spe
cial.) H. D. Chapman, aged 57 years,
for several years secretary of the
Aberdeen lodge of Elks, and. Commis
sioner for Chehalls County at the
