Presence In Portland of a gang of
swindlers who have committed two
crimes here and who answer closely to
the description of men who operated
similarly in Spokane recently, was es
tablished yesterday, when Mike Kop
pel. a retired merchant, living at 5S7
Front street, reported that he had lost
11795 through their operations. The
gang is composed of young men and
one appeared to be French, while an
other was an Italian. In this they tally
with the description of the swindlers
In the former cases.
Koppel, who is retired from business,
had been marked as a victim for over
' a month. It appears from his story.
One of the men gained a casual ac
quaintance with him at that time and
frradually led up to a proposal that
Koppel should re-enter business. The
Idea appealed to the old man and its
features were discussed at length. The
questions, it now appears, were art
fully framed to bring out a revelation
of Koppel's resources. Completion of
the details were deferred till the ar
rival of the second man, who purport
ed to be a business partner of the
first.
Stroas; Box Located.
He arrived within the past few days
and the negotiations took a decided
turn. The swindlers, "to show good
faith," displayed a large sum of money
aDd suggested that Koppel keep It
with his own. Previously it had been
ascertained that the old man kept his
wealth stored In a tin box at his home.
As soon as the swindlers had turned
over their money, incidentally learning
the hiding place of Koppel's, they pro
posed luncheon, and induced the vic
tim to go with them to a restaurant.
"While there, one made an excuse to
leave and returned to Koppel's house,
where he removed the money and sub
stituted stones. Soon afterward the
second man left, arranging another
meeting today. Koppel went home and
.discovered Tuesday night that his
money had been taken. He reported to
Captain Baty yesterday and Detectives
ilaloney and Swennes were assigned
to the case.
Farmer Is "Stron;-Arined.,
There seems to be little doubt that
the two men are the same who
"strong-armed" Joe Pagh, a farmer,
from Kidgefield .Wash., last week. The
descriptions tally as to nationality and
with less accuracy as to age. Pagh
met the men in a saloon and was en
gaged in conversation leading up to
a business deal. He displayed S425 and
was followed when he left the saloon
and in broad daylight was held and
robbed, the two men escaping with
ease.
The same two men, apparently, en
gaged Carl Pfoling In a game of cards
In a North End saloon over a year ago
and made away with S1200 of his
money.
ROOSEVELT WOMEN MEET
Xlne Members of Fair Sex Organize
Club in His Interests.
In response to the public call issued
by Mrs. Lora C Little, nine women
met Tuesday night in room 608 of the
Maegly-Tlchner building and effected
the organization of the "Oregon Wo
men's Roosevelt Club."
The following women -were elected
to the offices of the league: President,
Mrs. Lora C. Little; secretary, Mary
E. Hill; treasurer, Mrs. L. G. Carpten
ter; executive committee, Mrs. Nettie
M, Abbott. Mrs. Emily Foster, Mrs. L.
G. Reno; vice-presidents, Mrs. Theodore
Hewitt. Mrs. W. J. Hawkins, Lillian
Roosevelt Rourke, Mrs. John H. Boyd,
Lizzie N. Gee. Mrs. Charles T. Mc-
Pherson. Except for the women named
for the vice-presidencies, all of the
elected officers were present at the
embryo meeting.
A constitution was read and approved
designating the bandana .tie as the
emblem of the club, SO cents as the
monthly dues and a quorum as seven,
"including three of the nine officers
named." The intention Is to hold bi
monthly meetings at the East Side Li
brary, the Monday evenings alternating
with the meeting nights of the Pro
gressive party. At the next meeting
L. M. Lepper will give a lecture on
"The Roosevelt Panama Canal."
Five thousand enrollment cards were
ordered printed with which to engage
in a strenuous membership campaign.
BROWNELL TO TAKE STUMP

to Aid Suffragists. -
For the future the advisory board
of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage
Association, will meet in conjunction
with the executive board every Thurs
day afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. This was
decided at the regular meeting at
headquarters in the Selling building
yesterday.
The state central campaign commit
tee has always met on Thursday at
i:30, and many of its members are
also on the other boards, the plan has
been- adopted to avoid the necessity
of being present on two separate days
of the week. Under the new manage
ment the members will attend the ad
visory and executive board meetings
first, and it will clOBe Its session in
a Biinw thom tfi he nresent at the
opening of the campaign committee
meeting.
George C. Brownell has accepted an
Invitation to speak at several outdoor
meetings to be held In Portland in the
near future, but the dates have not
w iiaflnttniv ff-rri as vet. In con
junction with other citizens he will
speak in September, some time aner
the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt at
Astoria, In Clackamas County, and in
many other parts of the state. De

Cathrlne Count!.
"Ssch letters as this make my heart
ache," said Cathrine Countiss just after
her afternoon mail was delivered to
her between acts of "Dlvorcons" at the
Hellig yesterday.
"It is only one of many such. The
writer Is a young girl in a small town
In Oregon, whose' spirit rebels against
a narrow environment, and who is sure
she could be a great actress If she
could just obtain a start. And she is
only one of thousands who have not
the faintest conception of what a hard
working life ours is, and how desper
ate the struggles and disappointments,
even for the most fortunate.
"In a nutshell, my advice to the av
erage girl who wants, to go upon the
stage can be summed up In the one
word, ' Don't ! ' Success comes to the
few; disaster and disappointment to the
many. There are always hundreds of
competent players idle in New York,
and perhaps never before so many as
just now."

BURNSIDE BRIDGE SAFE
SPAX WILL- LAST FOR YEAES,
SAYS ENGINEERS' REPORT.
Few Minor Repairs Recommended
When Convenient Added' Car
Traffic Not to Be Feared.
That there need be no cause) for
alarm on account of the increased traf
fic now being conveyed over the Burn
side bridge, growing out of the disuse
of the railroad bridge and the de
layed opening of car traffic on the
new Harriman bridge, is the gist of a
report filed by Robert Wakefield and
W. A. Grondahl, contractors, upon the
appointed request of the County Com
missioners. But, after a complete ex
amination of the Burnside bridge, the
special inspectors recommend that the
bridge be laid up some time in the
near future in order that several
minor repairs may be made.
The concluding opinion of the re
port is that "the bridge . Is in fair
serviceable condition, and we would
recommend that no unusual restric
tions bo placed on the traffic over
it; that in the very near future, when
arrangements can be made for the
handling of the traffic over some one
of the other bridges, it should be laid
up, the draw span jacked up on the
draw projection, the turntable and oth
er minor repairs mentioned made, af
ter which it will be useful for a num
ber of years to come."
Although the structure has been in
constant service for 20 years, state
ment is made that "the machinery Is
in as good condition as when installed.
It has been well taken care of by the
operators, and Is entirely adequate to
perform the service to which it is put
during the life of the bridge."
Because of the fact that the original
plans and specifications were unobtain
able the examiners were obliged to go
over the entire structure In detail to
secure measurements and to prepare
complete stress and sectional dia
grams. A diver was engaged to make
soundings at the bases of the piers
who reported no serious scour or de
fect. The report was made pursuant of
the appointment conferred July 27, by
the County Commissioners.
"DRY" SPEAKER IS EGGED
Foul Missile Is Thrown at C. O.
Stillman at Philomath.
CORVALLIS, Or.. Aug. 21. (Special.)
While C. O. Stillman, Prohibition can
didate for Congress and a member of
B. Lee Paget' party, was addressing
a meeting at Philomath last night, a
rotten egg was thrown at him. It
failed to hit him and Mr. Stillman did
not pay any attention to the episode.
It was not until this morning that he
learned the character of the missile
thrown at him.
A woman in the crowd, it was as
certained, suffered a damaged dress
and was obliged to leave the meeting.
As Philomath Is a strong Prohibition
town and a large crowd listened to the
speaker, the act is thought to have
been the work of a hoodlum and not
the work of an anti-Prohibitionist.

Whether preparations for the Pacific
Northwest Land Products Show sched

18-2S shall be continued or abandoned

the willingness shown by the citizens
of Portland to support it. A meeting

sion has been called by the chairman,
John S. Beall, and will be held as a
luncheon at the Portland Commercial
Club at 12:15 today.
"We realize that the businessmen of
heavllv called upon
of late to contribute to the support of
various projects," says Mr. Beall. "Our
canvass among them for funds for the
land show is not, however, in reamy
mil for out-and-out donations, from
which no returns are to come.
"We are asking merely for a loan,
sufficient to guarantee the show and
to make it possible for us to continue
with tun nrpnnraflnna. I believe that
it i. ,.f. in nav that for everv 1100
donated at this time, the committee
will be able to return to the aonor

Gate Receipts to Pay.
G. E. A. Bond, manager of the Land
Products Show, is more emphatic even
than Mr. Beall in his opinion that the
funds advanced by the businessmen
are to be a loan, not a donation.
"There is not the slightest doubt
that the Land and Dairy Products
Show will more than pay for itself In
the gate receipts, and that we will be
ohia to rAfnnd to the businessmen the
money they have loaned us, which
alone will make it possmie ior us to
go forward with our preparations for

BLERIOT AVIATOR IS HERE
"Devlldare"' Chapeaux Criticises
Wright-Curtiss Combination.
Jack "Devlldare" Chapeaux, a mono
plane aviator, Is at the Lenox for a
few days, returning irom tne meets
at Los Angeles and Oakland, and now
going to the National aviation meet
that will be held next month at Chi
cago. In speaking of aviation In the United
States, M. Chapeaux said: "It is too
much like the way the circuses are
conducted, on the trust basis. The
Wright and Curtlss combination of
aviator companies practically control
all aviation meets In this country, with
foreign-made machines barred, but at
Chicago this will be different. I use
a Bleriot 70 - horsepower monoplane,
and these machines have every aerial
record for height, distance and speed.
"I have been personally interested In
aviation since 1902, when connected
with Professor Langley in his experi
ments for this country, and later was
with Israel Ludlow. I then spent two
years at the Bleriot school in France,
under the supervision of that govern
ment, where the monoplane has reached
its present perfection.
"The object of the school is to com
mercialize the machines, and It is now
assured that they can carry with safety
five people at a speed of 104 miles an
hour.
"In this country aviation Is consid
ered as a circus trick, and just due is
not given Its commercial value.- I
have watched young Christofferson in
several flights, and his work is ex
cellent, but he takes unnecessary
risks." PERSONAL MENTION.

GHOST TO WALK OFTENER
COUNCIL COMMITTEE APPROVES
SEMI-MOXTHXT PAYDAY.
Clyde Ordinance Is ' Recommended
and Is Blow to Loan .Sharks
Preying on City Employes.
If recommendations made yesterday
by the ways and means committee of
the City Council are adopted by the
Council, city employes will be paid
twice a month instead of once as under
the present system. The semi-monthly
payday ordinance recently introduced
by Councilman Clyde was adopted by
the committee by unanimous vote.
The measure is a blow at the loan
sharks who have plied their vocation
very successfully at the City Hall, it Is
said. The Clyde ordinance was backed
by the Grocers' Association and others
who declare that the semi-monthly pay
day will make It possible for the em
ployes to keep their bills straightened
up better than they do at present. The
new system will require the hiring of
additional help in the City Auditor's
department, but this expense, the com
mittee decided, will be offset by the
benefits received by the employes.
A delegation of the Social Service
League, headed by R. E. Wood, urged
the ways and means committee to ap
propriate 2000 to help pay the expense
of making a survey of playground and
dance hall conditions in the city. The
committee deferred action on the prop
osition, arranging to give It careful
investigation at the next meeting. In
the meantime the condition of the city's
general fund from which the appro
priation would have to be made will
be investigated. L. H. Weir, Pacific
Coast secretary of the Playgrounds
Recreational Association of America, is
in the city and Is to be engaged to
make the. survey of playgrounds work,
according to the members of the so
cial league delegation.
The plan is to have him work out a
report on the actual conditions and to
have him formulate a scheme whereby
the playgrounds can be made factors
in the cultivation of character in chil
dren. He has performed similar work
in San Francisco and is to be engaged
in Seattle and Tacoma. A report which
he has prepared was read to the com
mittee. In this it is shown that the
proposed survey of conditions is essen
tial to the development of the play
grounds system.
An ordinance introduced by Council
man Monks prohibiting patent medi
cine dealers from selling, peddling or
advertising their products on the
streets was considered by the commit
tee. Action was deferred until the
committee can ascertain whether or
not the proposed - measure interferes
with the general license ordinances.

CITY MAYJ.0SE RELICS
Historical Collection Must Be As
signed Quarters at Once.
Unless provision Is made by the
County Commissioners to have the mu
seum of the Oregon Historical Society
Installed in quarters in the new Court
house it is possible that the historical
collection will be removed to Salem, in
response to the urgent demands of
Salem citiaens, and placed in the State
Capitol building. Hint of the threat
ened change was given Tuesday in a
letter addressed to the Commissioners
by George H. Himes, secretary of the
society, entreating them to furnish
quarters for the historical relics and
exhibits.
The Commissioners are not as yet
able to make a definite statement as
to whether or not they can comply
with the request, as all branches of
the county administration have not
now been provided for In the county
building. It is believed that the city
auditorium, when built, will contain
space for the pioneer collections, but
long before this building will be avail
able the museum will be forced from
the City Hall because of the demands
being made upon the room space by
the departments of the city govern
ment. MILWAUKIE GETS SERVICE

"The three middle fingers ri(?hv at the end

would get so lniiamed. Burn
and be so painful I could
not sleep. It seomed every
time I bad my hands In
soapy water they would got
worse. They would be so
very sore, then the nails
would come off, and no
more would a new one grow
on when they would begin
to get sore again. The nail came off my
third finger four times. I tried everything
with no results until one day I read of a lady
who seemed to have had a similar trouble
cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
decided to try them and sent for a samplo.
I bought a 60c. box of Cuticura Ointment
and some Cuticura Soap and now I am
thankful my fingers are perfectly cured and
