13 THE BIORXIXG OREGOXIAJT. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1915. GREAT COMMERCE BODY ADOPTS PLAN Steps Are Taken at Meeting to Organize New Chamber and Perfect Merger. TOTAL MEMBERSHIP 4627 C. C. Colt Cbosert Temporary Pres ident o! Organization Wliicli Is Largest of Its Kind in United States. Th Portland Chamber of Commerce, fha largest commercial organization In the United States, following; the close of Its membership campaign, lormaity sdnnted the general plan ol consoilda tion at an enthusiastic meeting last night, elected C. C. Colt temporary president and appointed a committee to pass on constitution and bylaws. In the assembly the representation of the new members was a notewortny iea tura. A board of directors and officers of the new body probably will be elected a week from Friday, after a meeting ' has been called to ratify the action of tbe constitution committee. E. L. Thompson, who presided over the erreat committee which conauctea the membership campaign, announced that W. J. Hofmann will be the chair man of the standlntr memDersnip com mittee for the first month. A plan will probably be adopted of appointing a complete new membership committee each month, thus insuring tne unnas- Bing interest and activity that can be obtained from continual new interest and new workers. Mr. Hodnni Head Committee. 4 C. W. Hodson was named by Mr. Colt chairman of the constitution committee, with A. J. Kingsley. A. H. Averill. E. D. Timms and James B. Kerr as the other members. As soon as this committee has completed its work copies of the constitution will be mailed to each member, so that they may examine it and be ready to act upon it intelligently when the president ca'Is the meeting for ratification. Both the meeting at noon, which closed the membership campaign with the total of 45S2. and the general meet ing last night exemplified the surging enthusiasm with which the whole movement for the formation of the great new Chamber has been carried forward. ' Shortly after E. It Thompson called the meeting to order at night, there were 25 new memberships handed up from the crowd, raising thfc total to 4S27.- Mr. Chase Outlines Plan. H. V. Chase gave a general outline of the plan on which the new Chamber is organised and Sor a half hour the meeting was turned over to the mem bers to question him as to details. Reports already turned in from about 1000 of the members. Mr. Chase an nounced. Indicate that the largest of the nine bureaus In the Chamber is to be the Civic bureau. Each member who reports is expected to indicate a first and second choice as to the bureau with which h desires to be affiliated. While the civic bureau is indicated in a large proportion of these reports, the other bureaus are also well represented, and Mr. Chase said that he believed the as 1 signment of members to the various departments will be well balanced throughout the departments. Only four standing committees will be maintained under the plan the ex- . ecutive committee, consisting of the president. vice-president, secretary a-nd treasurer of the Chamber and the chairmen of the nine bureaus; the financial committee, the membership committee and the clubhouse commit tee, which will have charge of the eopcial affairs of the organization. Others 4o Be Created. Othr committees will be created in the various bureaus as need for tnem arises and will be disbanded when their work is completed. Following the election of the Board f 30 directors, the organization of the membership council and the establish " ment of the nine bureaus, with their chairmen and executive committees, the election of the officers will be held. The board will then seleot a business manager and the secretaries of the various bureaus, who are to work un der the business manager, will be ap pointed. In reply to a question as to the elec. tion of the president of the member ship, council, Mr. Chase declared that he believed this office sliould be filled by the man who is intended to be pres ident of the Chamber on the following year, as U would serve as a training ichool for him. He advised that ths president of the membership council should not be given the burden of the vice-presidency of the Chamber at the Him time. One Job Held I'.nouRh. "He will have quite enough to oc ' cupv him In the one position," he said. When the election of the temporary chairman was brought before the Chamber, O. M. Clark, president of the old Chamber, nominated C. C. Holt, ex president of the Commercial Club. Mr. Colt's election was unanimous. 'Since this movement has begun I hAT met men and have come to an understanding of some of the condi tions that I had not before, and T be lieve that one of the great works that the Chamber can, do is to see that tbe little fellow' who Is struggling to build up a manufacturing business shall be xiven. the chance to grow and make the success to which he is entitled." As Mr. Colt was concluding his ad dress and preparing to announce the presentation of the proposed constitu tion and by-laws, he was interrupted by the Police Band, which under the leadership of W. F. Spencer, its director, and Captain Moore, had assembled in the hail outside the Commercial Club dining-room to give a serenade in com pliment to the new Chamber of Com merce. ' The band was hailed with applause, and being brought inside became a feature iu the remainder of the pro gramme. Mr. I.aroB' Committee Leads. J. Fred Larsons committee, which led throughout the membership cam paign, held its own in the concluding work, and announced at the noon luncheon a total of 35 for the day. W. J. Hofmann's committee came next with 31. and to this number were add ed three more In the afternoon. Other high committees in the last day's cam paign were those headed by James M. Wood. A. H. Devers, Jacob Kanzle J. P. Plagemann and Taul Wessinger. A meeting of all men Interested in the fruit business has been called for R o'clock toniKbt at the Commercial Club to arrange for representation of this bran-h of business in the bureaus of the new Chamber. Commission allows these rates to go into effect the wholesale and jobbing business of the Coast cities will suffer materially. Rates Woald Aid Interior. . The reduction of the differentials between the Portland rates and the Snokane rates will enable Spokane, , Baker. Walla Walla, La Grande and other interior points to engage eiu sivelv in the lobbing business. They will be able to distribute goods over wide areas and cut deeply into tne trade now held by Portland, beattie and Tacoma. it is pointed out. In some cases, it is probable that the frtuHt lofabers would be enabled to meet this new competition by absorbing a part of the rate, but the present narrow margin upon which the conduct their business, it is said, would prohibit them from indulging in this practice exten sively. Under the old rate schedule the Spo kane Jobbers complained that Portland, Seattle and Tacoma had an unnatural advantage because the carriers made lower rates to those terminals than they did to Spokane. In other words they charged less for the long haul to Portland than they did for the short haul to Spokane. The carriers justified this practice on the theory that the rate to Port land was governed by water competi tion and that the rate to Spokane and the interior points was fixed by the rate to Portland, plus the haul from Portland back to the interior. nn of thin situation grew the famous Spokane rate case which was carried through the courts during many years of long and bitter legal wanare. r mai ly the Interstate Commerce Commission u oh eld the contention of the carriers. and legalized the practice of charging more for the short haul tnan ior ine long haul, but fixed certain maximum proportions which, it ordered, the car riers might not exceed, in making their rates to the interior. Instances Are Given. For instance the rate from Chicago to Spokane could not exceed the rate from Chicago to Portland by more than 7 per cent. From the Missouri River territory the same rate must apply to Spokane as to Portland. From the Pittsburg and Buffalo territory the Spokane rate could not De more tnan 15 per cent higher than the Portland rate. When the canal competition first be gan to make itself felt, the carriers asked for relief from the bpokane De cision and the Commission conducted a hearing at Chicago. All the carriers were represented. As a result of this hearing the commission, on January 29, issued a new order which modified its order in the Spokane case by per mitting the carriers to exceed the rate to Spokane by 15 cents over the rate to Portland. Evidently the carriers were not satis fied with that ruling, although it was along the line of what they had been contending for during the last two decades. In the last six weeks the Northwestern lines have ben holding a conference at Chicago. Frank W. Bob inson, assistant traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, has just re turned from that conference. One result of the conference was the proposal of new rates which, local ship pers say, will enable Spokane to take away a large share of Portland's job bing trade.

Local shippers declare that If ths White Child Critically Wounded at St. Johns Japanese Babe Killed Near Kelly Bntte. A white child critically wounded and a Japanese babe killed was the toll taken by guns in the hands of children in separate accidents near Portland yesterday. While, playing with a rifle at a neighbor's house near his parents' home, 1134 North Kellogg street, St. Johns, John -Beckman, 11 years old, was shot through the head by a small com panion and is now In a critical con dition in Multnomah Hospital. With three other children, the Beck man boy had gone to a nearby house, where they found the rifle. One of the boys took the gun from the wall and in play pointed it at young Beckman. The rifle was discharged accidentally. Young Beckman was taken to the hos pital by the Ambulance Service Com pany. Little Haruo Okuda, 3 years old, was shot and killed by his 5-year-old brother. The brother. Keoto. and Leo Nichimoto, 4 years old. were playing with a shotgun. Playfully they poked the muzzle of the gun into the stomach of little Haruo and pulled the trigger. Hearing the report, the mother rushed from the kitchen and found the two older boys lifting the little fellow to his feet. The shotgun, still smoking, lay on the floor. When the father, K. Okuda. who was in the field, arrived at the house, Haruo was standing. The little fellow held out his arms to his "father, who picked him up and laid him on a bed. The boy died within a few minutes. The accident occurred on the Okudo farm on the Powell Valley road, east of Kelly Butte at 1:30 yesterday. Sheriff Hurlburt was notified immediately, and with Deputies Phillips and Ward and Deputy Coroner Smith rushed to the scene in an, automobile. After a brief investigation, the offi cers returned to Portland, leaving the little tot's body .with his parents. It was K- Okuda who was with T. Matsunaga, another Japanese gardener, on the night of January 20. when Matsunaga was shot and killed by two unknown burglars who entered his house, which is only a short distance from the Okuda home.

Today was a quiet one in the training camps of Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, the heavyweight pugilists who are to fight at the race course at Marianao, April 5, for the championship of the world. ' Willard did no work aside from an early morning run on the road. He spent the afternoon, first in taking a swim, then visiting the racetrack, where he was followed about and cheered by a big crowd. Willard in his training makes It a practice to lay off one day for a rest during the week. Tomorrow he will go through a hard course, but hereafter will do just rough 'work to hold him to his present form. Johnson is also letting down gradual ly in his work. At 7 o'clock this morn ing he took a 50-minute run. Later after punching the bag and tossing the medicine ball, he boxed six rounds with his sparring partners. Bell and Scott His other two boxers.
