In the Heart of the Business District FIFTH AT ALDER ST. . mi t - . - 1 i ' '- 1 , i DR. LANE IS FETED BY MEDICAL IN 'Expired Patients' of Senator elect Are Carried In on Political Stretcher. "STUNTS" ARE NUMEROUS Patrolmen Appear at Banquet to Re port on Sllisslon Assigned by Honor Guest When He Was ; Mayor of Portland. . Dr. Harry Lane, United States Senator-elect, was the honor guest at a banquet tendered by members of the medical profession at the Multnomah Hotel last night Although the ban quet Itself was formal as to dress, there was an Informality surrounding the programme of entertainment that en tirely displaced the tuxedo and made for a measure of conviviality seldom duplicated In any group of rival prac titioners. The 34 members of the banquet party had scarcely seated themselves about the banquet board until an unan nounced programme of "stunts" was In troduced. Two spurious hospital at taches, properly uniformed and carry ing a stretcher with two or three "dummy" subjects, circulated about the banquet hall until halted by Dr. Calvin S. "White, the toastmaeter. "Whom have you there?" inquired the toastmaster. "Dr. Lane's patients," was the an swer, i "What's the matter with them?" "They are pretty badly beaten up," was the answer. "But who are they?" persisted Toast master White. "They are Ben Selling, Jonathan Bourne, Jr and Alfred E. Clark," re sponded one ot the stretcher carriers. "Mayor" Lane Sought. Another course of the elaborate din ner had scarcely been served until two stalwart members of the Portland police department. Patrolmen Levens and Thorpe, entered the dining-room and, critically Inspecting the hall, pro ceeded until they encountered Tot't master White, who demanded an ex planation for' their presence. "We are looking for Mayor Lane," declared Patrolman Thorpe. "Dr. Lane has not been Mayor for three years," replied Dr. White, the toastmaster. "Well, we thought it was about time," came back Patrolman Thorpe, "for us to make a report as to the East Side rooming-house he ordered us to watch two years ago." Wilson la Impersonated. Another course of the dinner had not been disposed of until F. S. Myers, Impersonating Woodrow Wilson, the Presiden-elect, entered the banquet hall. Carrying two volumes of the Congres sional Record and a copious copy of commencement day address, Mr. Myers, costumed so as reliably to Impersonate the New Jersey Governor and President-elect, gave the assembled medical practitioners the assurance that with the entrance of Dr. Lane to the United States Senate hope was furnished for the effectual removal of the malignant growth of trusts at the hands of a skillful physician. Between the courses of the dinner and the various appropriate "stunts" that were introduced, Prasp's orchestra fur nished enlivening airs. Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the State Board of Health, was the master of ceremonies. Aside from C. S. Jackson and Dr. C. H. Chapman, the guests, all practicing members of the medical profession, were: A. J. Glosy, W. T. Williamson, J. C O'Day, E. F. Tucker, George F. Wilson, E. A. Sommer, R. E. Coffey, J. T. Dickson. William House, R. C. Yen ney, L. H. Hamilton, A. E. Rockey, A. E. Mackay, George S.
