Main 717 or A 1617. The Christmas relief fund of the As sociated Charities, receiving more than $430 in new contributions yesterday, passed the $4100 mark. The total now la more than $300 greater than the whole fund of last year, which In Its time was a record-breaker. Still the flood of donations continues to pour in. Portland already has surpassed any other city in the United States of equal size. In the generosity with which her citizens have responded to the call of the Associated Charities, and It has done this, while carrying the burden of numerous other relief funds being raised for the help of the unfortunate In the tout of the great war or for other charitable organizations engaged in special Christmas relief work. Portland seems bent on surpassing herself, as there Is no apparent abate ment in the cash and checks that every mail pours in upon the Associated Charities. Fund May Grow to S5G00. "It is probable that the total will exceed $5000 when the campaign ends," aid Secretary V. R. Manning. While the fund is thus growing, the relief work is going on continually. The Intention of the fund is to carry help to the poor in all seasons, before and after Christmas. On Christmas day various benevolent organizations care well for the poor, but the Asso ciated Charities must minister to most of the needy at other times. The girls of the Neakahnle Society, of Washington High School, are taking care of the immediate needs of three or four families with the funds they received from the vaudeville show pre sented December IS. Groceries, fuel and other supplies were purchased by the schoolgirls yesterday. ' . School Society Help. The Fhrenodiken Soctety. also of of Washington High School, raised a fund of $15 for the relief work. Among the many other letters that came to the office yesterday secretary Manning received one from Dorena, Or., forwarding a donation from a man who had already given largely to the special relief funds for foreign coun tries. The letter read: "Sir: I enclose a check for $Z for the relief fund and have mailed also a small parcel of clothes. "It is a very little on us. of tlje old country the war has made its per sonal demands. "We are glad that there is such a splendid organization as this of which you are the head. l'reviously reported $3709.26 ( as;i . .... au.vu M n TV .

A great military road, running from the Canadian border to Mexico, along the seacoast; a road that will serve not only as a great highway for troop movements In case of war, but which will be one of the most striking' scenio roads and one of the most valuable commercial highways in the United States, is the plan that Is to be launched by the Portland Chamber of Commerce at once. The plan was indorsed at the meet ing of the board of trustees of the Chamber yesterday and every Cham ber of Commerce on the Paclflo Coast will be asked to Join in a great cam paign to bring the plan to the atten tion of the Government and secure the appropriation that will make the work possible. A map showing the plan of the great Pacific shoreline highway was pre sented before the Chamber by F. M. Harris, of Renton, Wash., and this map and Mr. Harris' report thereon will serve as the basis for the campaign. The estimated cost of the .project Is $17,000,000. Mr. Harris pointed out that this is equal to the price of two dreadnoughts, which would be out of date in less than 20 years and go to the scrap heap, while the road, of immeasurably greater Im portance from a military viewpoint, than two battleships, and also capable of giving great commercial benefits to the Pacific Coast, would be practically a permanent asset to the Nation. In the map submitted by 'Mr. Harris the highway follows closely the shore lines of the coast and would make it possible not only to transport troops in motor-driven vehicles rapidly along lines parallel to any raiding force that might be landed, but by addition of lat erals from several points would make it possible to throw large bodies of troops Into threatened places from the interior much more rapidly than any railway system now existing would be able to do it. The system of suggested laterals also makes possible a treat development of commercial transporta tion laciiities between all inland points on the Coast via the great - hiehwav. and almost any other Inland point on the Coast. About 250 miles of the proposed road will lie in Washington. 800 In Ores-on and 300 in California. GHAPIN HOPES IN APPEAL Total-- $4143.91 Donations should be sent to V. R.

A charitable movement quite apart from the Red Cross relief work or the local social relief work- is coming into recognition in Portland with the ad vent of the cold weather. The birds are the beneficiaries. When the cold weather came. It caught them unawares, and the food to which they have been accustomed in many places- is becoming scarce. On Front street and around the mills the pigeons manage to find things pretty good, but, In dooryards. the anuwuiiua ana coicKaaees are In a doleful plight. Many persons are re membering to throw- out crumbs for the Dirds and are developing auite friendly relations with their feathered pensioners. PERJURY QUICKLY PROVED Roy Spear Convicted In Ten Minutes and Bootlegger Sentenced. In the record time of 10 minutes a Federal Jury In Judge Bean's court re turned a verdict Tuesday declaring Roy Spear, formerly of Boise, Idaho, guilty of perjury while testifying last June before United States Commission er Cannon at a white-slave hearing. He will be sentenced by Judge Bean next Monday. Following conviction of Joseph Ja cobs, a junk dealer of Eugene, Judge Action of High Court In Affirming Conviction Undoubtedly Means That Sentence. Mast Be Served. The action of the Oregon Surjrema Court Tuesday in affirming the con viction of W. H. Chapin. secured in the Multnomah County Circuit Court last June, means, undoubtedly, that he wm have to serve his sentence of from one to 10 years In the penitentiary. He has the recourse of filing a. peti tion for a rehearing of his case, which it is not thought would be allowed, or he may take his case to the Governor. Chapin was convicted of having con verted to personal U6e the sum of $3600 entrusted to the firm of Chanin & Herlow by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Grace for investment in mortgages, the charge Delng larceny by bailee. E. C. Herlow, his partner, was accused joint ly and was convicted in a later trial. He is now perfecting his appeal, but as it does not contain any contentions not already brought to the attention of the Supreme Court in the petition pre sented by Chapin, it is likely one re- suit or the decision will be to put a stop to further action on this appeal. The trial of Chapin, heard before! Judge Kavanaugh, divulged that the victims of the firm were old friends of the accused and that prior to the "investment ' of the $3500, upon which the charge was based. Mr. and Mrs. Grace had loaned $2500 to the firm. This, however, was a straight loan and .no. criminal charge was brought because of it. Chapin was given two trials. In the first, the jury disagreed, a majority standing for conviction, but in the second, a unanimous verdict of guilty was returned.
