Beed to Be Tried October. 5. Alleged Trunk Murderers to Plead , Thursday Much Civil Busi ness Placed on Docket. Becaases no representative of Dis trict Attorney Cameron's office was present In court when Presiding Judge Cleland took office at yesterday morning, the setting of nearly all the criminal cases which are to be tried this Fall was deferred until next Mon day. The civil suits had the preference yesterday because of the neglect of the District Attorney's office, in sprte of the fact that some of the defendants nust spend the time between now and the dates of their trials in the County Jail at the county's expense. With the docket congested with civil suits. It is probable that some of tlv aocused persons will be compelled to wait until November or perhaps De cember before' their cases can be heard; for only the first two weeks of each terra will bo devoted to Jury trials. Page Arrives Late in Session. Deputy District Attorney Page put In an appearance during tbs forenoon session yesterday, and after the most of the 60 attorneys present had left, asked Judge Morrow to set a long list of criminal cases. The judge refused. lie did set three cases, however, one being that of J. C. Reed, the real estate man accused of obtaining money unffer false pretenses. He will be tried Oc tober 6. Porter Loo mis, alleged to have con tributed to the delinquency of a minor, will be tried September 14. Attorney John Manning, representing Cora Irish, charged with an illegal offense, asked for an Indefinite contin uance of this case. His client is in Walla Walla, and married, and does not want to return. Mr. Page - insistofl, however, that the case be set. and Judge Cleland placed It on the docket for October 3. The demurrer to the indictment against Carrie Kersh and J. P. Webb, who are acoused of the mnrder of Wil liam Johnson, was submitted to the court by Seneoa Fouts, their attorney, without argument. The two alleged murderers will enter their pleas before Judge Cleland at 10 A M- Thursday. Johnson is the man whose bleeding body was found in a trunk at the Union Depot. Aviation Company Files Answer. The demurrer of the Pacific Aviation Company to the answer of the Wells Fargo Express Company, In the suit brought by the aeroplane firm to re rover a piece of aeroplane apparatus, was argued and submitted. The Pa cific Aviation Company, It . appears from the answer of the express com pany, left the piece of apparatus wlfh Bert C. Scott, of the Hall-Scott Motor Car Company, of Oakland, for repairs. The repairs cost $443.70. The pleae was shipped to Portland C O. D., and when it arrived the aviation firm of fered to pay the express charges, but refused to pay the charge Imposed by Scott. The question was raised on de murrer whether a California lien for the repair of property can be enforced in Oregon. The attorney for the ex press company made the point that the lien was impressed on the property while it was still in California, and that it came into Oregon bearing this lien. The suit of the Inman-Poulsen Lum ber Company against the city, to en join the municipality from vacating streets through the mill property on the East Side, was set for trial October 12. The case of George J. Cameron against Philip 1L McLaughlin, to re-' cover upon a bond, was set for trial October 18. Solomon Uttman Changes Name.

His petition for the change was filed July PICTURE ADVERTISES CITY Chamber of Commerce to Distribute Wall Decoration Design. Much desirable advertising is to be given Portland through the distribu tion of the attractive panel picture en titled "The Heart of Greater Portland," recently designed by A. Holloway and intended for display as a wall decoration. A copy was exhibited at the Cham ber of Commerce a few days ago and received the commendation of those who saw it. In the center Is a picture of Portland taken from a point east of the river, while Just above it is a re production of an old photograph taken from the same spot 0 years ago. Around the border appear a number of smaller illustrations, among these be ing the Board of Trade, 1'eon. Wells Fargo, Corbett, Y. M. C. A. Commercial Club. Spalding and Lewis buildings, a residence section on Willamette Heights, a scene in City Park, a view on Washington street, an every-day harbor scene, the Union Station, a view of Morrison street and a Rose Festival scene. Some statistical information illus trating the growth and present pros perity of the city is also given. Jt is likely that the Chamber of Commerce will mall a number of the pictures to associate commercial organizations in various parts of the country. EASTERNERS AFTER JOBS Chamber of Commerce Overwhelmed With Letters Asking Work. Inquiries from persons with limited means desiring positions In Portland pour Into the office of the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in such numbers that the question of starting an employ ment bureau in connection with the other work of that office is receiving considera tion. As the chamber has a fixed rule of an swering all Inquiries, of whatever na ture, this requires considerable time. Judging from the nature of some of The letters, many persons in the East havs aaJtaeAfcat Jpbe.areojjtoaUfuIou.t here. that they can almost establish their own scale of wages. A girl at Lamar. Colo., wrote a few days ago asking for a position as stenog rapher and requested that she be given Information concerning the firm that was to employ her. the nature of the work that she was expected to do, the length of time per day she was to work and other details' that conveyed the Impres sion that she had already taken it for granted that she was to reeeire employ ment for the mere asking. "A competent and experienced shipping clerk who has worked for the tame firm for more than L& years and who wants to come to Portland because he can get high"" wages." offers himself, and Is evidently satisfied that there will be a clamor for his services. He lives at Clalrton, Pa. At South Bend. Ind., a "high grade office man" is willing to give up bis pres ent employment for the future advance ment of Portland. Other letters or simi lar tone come in every day's mail. Some times as many as SO are received in a single day. While the Chamber of Commerce cannot devote its time to securing employment for all these willing workers, theofneers endeavor to send such Information's will be helpful to the applicants in their ef forts through other sources. Many are referred to reliable private employment agencies, the Y. M. C. A. or the munici pal free employment bureau. NEW NAME IS DESIRED BIG BROTHERS OBJECT TO "RE. FORM SCHOOL." 'State Training School for Boys" Favored by Branch of Y. M. C. A Salem Institution Visited. Oregon's institution for boys at Salem will be known as the Reform School only a few months longer, if the plans of the Bl Brothers' Movement are carried out. This society, which is fostered by the Portland Young Men s Christian Associa tion, thinks that the present, name is objectionable. It will ask the next Legis lature to change it to State Training School for Boys. The Big Brothers organized to lend a helping hand to unfortunate boys and to boys whose surroundings are not condu cive to character-building. Among other things they are taking an Interest In Juvenile Court and other reform work Bach member makes It his business to act as a "big brother" toward some de linquent boy or one who it is feared will become delinquent. The work of the society Is broad, however, for It is inter ested In all kinds of Juvenile reform. A committee representing the Big Brothers went to Salem Sunday and spent the entire day Inspecting the Reform School- The committee consisted of P. H. Wyman. head of the boys' school of the Y. M. C. A.. James W. Mills and Dr. Alfred Thompson. They took up the different features of the school with N. H. Looney, the superintendent, who ex pressed a desire to co-operate in any beneficial changes. "We found conditions good. In the main." said Mr. Wyman yesterday after noon after the committee had reported at a meeting of the Big Brothers at the Y. M. C. A. "We made one or two sug gestions and found Mr. Looney very obliging and interested in our work "Probably the chief suggestion we wish to make is that the Institution be known as ths State Training School for Boys, Mr. Loonev approves of this change and will co-operate with us in requesting the Legislature to adopt the new name, a bill for that purpose is soon to be drawn up. "We found out that the boys feel that a degree of odium attaches to the name. Reform School. Some or tnem torn us that they had no desire to leave the in stitution because their friends outside would look upon them as having been disgraced by being sent to the Reform School. If the other name were adopted, we believe that this sentiment would dis appear. "Mr. Looney told us that the work of the school was handicapped by a lack of adequate equipment. It is probable that the Legislature will be asked to provide several things that are especially needed." POSH CLUBS TO UNITE 'BOOST" TO BE MADE SLOGAN AT BIG MEETIXG. All Improvement Organisations in City Urged to Join in Great Forward Movement.

All the civic improvement clubs, push clubs, public progress clubs and the live wires " will be represented at mis meeting, which is to be held at J. H. Haak s office in the Lumoermens Duiia lne. Each organization has been asked to send three delegates, and If any club falls to send a committee of boosters, the matter will be brought to the atten tion of the "live wires" with Instruc tions to punish the derelicts without mercy. One of the chief purposes of the federa tion Is to create an agency of harmony throughout the city and suburbs in pro moting measures and enterprises created for the general welfare and growth ot Portland. At the meeting Thursday night, it is expected that the project for a $500,000 auditorium will be given a push for ward. Another question that Is to be discussed is the agitation of fireproof school buildings. We will have several Important mat ters to consider at the meeting," said President T. T. Geer, yesterday. "We expect to effect our permanent organi zation and get down to business at once. I feel positive that the matter of an auditorium will receive the unanimous sanction and support of the federation. Issues that affect the health and general welfare of the people at large will be among the matters that will receive our combined support. While we Intend to Join forces for the general good of the city, the associa tion will be practically Independent and separate from any other organization. The clubs of each district, of course. have matters of local interest to look after and their work will go ahead as in ths past In this way, the purposes of the various clubs will not contlict but. Instead, greater work will be accom plished for each district as well as lor the entire city." Change of Time on O. R. & "S. Sunday, August 21. change of time was made on O.

MAZAMAS END OUTING PORTLAND MEMBERS OF PARTY ARE DUE WEDNESDAY. Many Interesting, Exciting and Dan gerous Trips Are Made by Moun tain Climbers During Stay. EUGENE. Or., Aug. 22. (Special.) The Mazamas broke camp yesterday morning and pome members of the party may reach Eugene today, but the main party will arrive In Portland on Wed nesday, August 24. On August 1. H. H. Prouty and Tom D. Eliot returned after an expedition of several days, during which they made the ascent of Broken Top and the Bachelor. Their return completed the work making the ascents of the peaks to the south and east of the Three Sisters. Profeepor Ira Williams and H. H. Rld- dell made the ascent of the Belknap Crater on August 17. This peak is the vent of an extinct volcano and from it came the vast lava flows that cover so much of the country between the divide of the range and the McKensie River. Surrounding the Crater for several miles in every direction, is a sea of lava, abso lutely bare of vegetation, rough and tumbled aa the ocean waves, rising tier upon tier to the vent of the Crater above. A careful examination of these lava flows was made by Professor Williams, whose examination of the geology of the region has been thorough. During the last days of the outing, u. L. Winter, Mlssea Maude Holliday, Martha Gold'app and Sadie Settlemier made a trio completely circling the Middle Sister. Mr. Winter of the Riser Photo Company secured some splendid negatives in that region as well as In some of the adjacent oountry and along the McKenzie River. Miss Jane Stearns, ths botanist Of ths party, before breaking can.p, so far re covered from the injury of her knee as to be able to resume work on the collec tion of plants of this region. One of the peculiar features of ths region is the large deposit of obsidian or volcanic glass. It covers many acres and glistens in the sunlight Ilka blaek glass. It was doubtless a source of material from which the prehistoric sav ages manufactured spear . points and arrow heads, no other deposit of ths like character being known In ths Oregon mountains. The plan of the Mazamas was to havs a party ascend the North Sister on August 19, to place the (Mazama record box on the topmost pinnacle. The point was scaled by H. H. Prouty and Is believed to have been the first ascent made of that difficult summit. This will complete the work of the Mazama outing for the year 1910. CITY TO VACATE STREETS Council Committee Will Act on O. R. & N. Co.'s Petition. Action is to be taken tomorrow morning by the City Council on the proposed street vacations on behalf of ths O. R. & N. Company in exchange with the city for Broadway bridge concessions. Mayor Simon said yesterday that every thing is In readiness for the legislative body to act. He favors the passage of ordinances, which will vacate portions of 13 streets. According to the Mayor, the exchange is a beneficial ons for the city, and it Is believed that the Council will pass the necessary ordinances. He will sign them if all that is Included now is carried. He says the city is well protected. It is the Intention of the O. R. & N. Company to extend its terminal yards over these streets and also to build a freighthouse for ths benefit of the East Side. Wholesalers in the district havs petitioned the Council to grant the vaca tions so that facilities may be furnished by the railroad company for handling freight without having to haul it across the river to place It on the cars, as Is now the case. Negotiation for the vacation of ths streets has been in progress for months. Mayor Simon and a special committee of the Council having conducted the busi ness on behalf of the city. Councilman Wallace and Uenefea axe favorable to the vacations, but It is anticipated that Councilman Rushlight, the other member of ths committee, will oppose the grant ing of the proposed rights. SPIKES DAMAGE TIRES AutoniobilisU' Complaints Result in Repairs on Bridge. . Frequent complaint has been made to the County-Court of late about the wretched condition of the planking be tween the streetcar tracks on the Morrison-street bridge. Automobile driv ers "to the number of 10 or 12 have com plained that while driving across the bridge their tires have struck large projecting spikes, which ruin ths tires. Mrs. Walter Burrell was ths last to make, complaint. She said two 50 tires were ripped open by the nails. When the complaints were first made the County Court gave orders to the bridgetenders to see that the spikes were driven down.. This, It seems, was done, but they soon worked loose again, so that further complaints came in. The brldgetender has now been ordered to draw the loose spikes, and to drive new ones in their places, so that no fur ther trouble is expected. Marriage TJcenses. CARDIFF-MEIER F. R.

SPEED MANIACS PAY FINE One Offends Twice in Day Mount Tabor Rowdies Calm Down. Wailaoe Carlson, of 843 Tillamook street, was caught speeding his auto mobile by the same officer twice Jn ons afternoon. Patrolman Sims, of the motorcycle squad, encountered Carlson going at the rate of 35 miles an hour on Belmont street and took. his num ber. A little later the officer saw an automobile making fast time on Union avenue and upon taking his number found that it was Carlson's again. He was fined $10 In police court yester day morning. H. E. Raymond, of 185 East Fifty fourth street, was traveling at the rate of 80 miles an hour at East Twentieth and Belmonts streets when Sims caught him. He pleaded guilty to "unwitting ly" exceeding the limit, and was fined $10. A warrant was Issued for Harry F. Taibert, living at the Oregon Hotel, who was making 30 miles an hour at East Seventy-fourth and Stark streets Sunday afternoon. Heeding the complaints of Indignant residents of the west slope of Mount Tabor, Acting Chief of Police Moore sent Sergeant Keller and a detail of five offloers to that locality Saturday night and again Sunday night. The word had gone out, however, that a complaint had been made and the row dies who have been making life miser able for the householders either choss another road or modified their con duct. Ths pollce'detall found no overt cases of disorderly conduct. They cau tioned automobile parties against dis turbing the peace, but found no cases warranting arrests. Turning the corner of Third and Wash ington streets at a rate of over 20 miles an hour, Harvey Rodobaugh, a young salesman, made an affrighted crowd flee like sheep from before his speeding ma chine, and injury and death were narrow ly averted. Traffic Officer Bales made an effort to . stop the driver, but he went by like the wind. Bales watched the machine and saw it stop In front of the Worcester building. He followed it and arrested Rodehaugh. Centralis Property Changes Hands. CENTRALIA. Wash, Aug. 22. (Spe cial.)
