The committee appointed last week to arrange for a banquet for May 11 for . Bishop K. J. Cooke will hold, a meeting at noon today at Moore's Res taurant and make final plans to honor the bishop. The personnel of the com mittee includes Rev. C. O. McCulloch, Dr. F. L. Loveland, Dr. Thomas Lane, Rev. A. F. Cramer and Dr. J. W. Mc Dougall. Bishop Cooke, who is now in the Kast, will attend the semi-annual con ference of Methodist bishops, in Dea Moines, Iowa, from April 28 to May 3. This is one of the most important con ferences of the church. A survey of the work at home and abroad will be made and the administrations of the bishops in the episcopal areas will be received. Bishop Cooke's friends are predicting that he will receive re appointment. The Oregon conference, in a strong resolution, has Indorsed him and has expressed the hope that he will be assigned to the conference here for 1915. The text of the reso lution expresses high appreciation of his work. While this strength of backing has appeared for the bishop, there is said to be in some quarters a doubt that he will be returned to the Oregon con ferences. The annual conference of the Oregon district will be held this Fall in Rose-burg. UWON MAY JOIN CITY SUBURB VOTES TO ASK ANNEXA TION BV PORTLAND. Voters Here Likely Will Fau on Ques tion in June 930,000 Water Bonds to Be Issued. LInnton, too, wants to be annexed to Portland. At a special election held there Mon day the citizens voted 170 to 80 to surrender their charter and to become a part of the city. It is expected that the question of consolidating Linnton will be consid ered by the people of Portland at the regular election in June when the voters of this city also will pass on the proposal to annex St. Johns, which voted favorably on this subject several weeks ago. Linnton also voted $50,000 in bonds to extend its water system. The de tailed vote in the three precincts of the town on the two questions were as fol lows: On Bond Issue. Tea.

A "blind man" was the cause of the calling out of 20 patrolmen Monday night to quell "disturbances" In hotels, grills and on the streets, and before finally being subdued one man was landed in jail on a charge of mashing. The stranger, carrving a huge sign reading "Blind, Please Help," and hold ing a cup. first appeared in the Hotel Imperial. The special officer and Mon roe Goldstein, of the Muts. tried vainly to put him out. A crowd gathered and a hurry-up call was sent to the police station and about 20 men responded. Before they got him out, however, he managed to change his sign to read "Please help send the Portland band East to advertise Portland and Oregon; buy a ticket for the big show." Explanations followed and the crowd learned that it was a "stunt" of the Muts to help the police band. The "blind man" was M. X. Wells, patrol man. A score of tickets were sold. Near Park and Washington streets he was almost urrested. At the Port land Hotel he broke into a session of the Modern Woodmen of the World. A man and woman, having a controversy on Washington street at the time he happened to pass, were arrested as the result of trouble that started. The Muts met with great success at the Hot Brau, Oregon, The Rainbow, Multno mah and other places. Owing to unforeseen clrcnmstances. the Community Festival and Jubilee Thursday, Friday and Saturday has been transferred from the Armory to the Orpheum Theater.

"Ypres is in flames, the Germans having thrown a hail of incendiary bombs Into "the town." Thus telegraphs the Morn ing Post's correspondent in Northern France. "The fighting continues hotly all along this front," the correspondent adds. "The Germans, show extraor dinary daring in bringing heavy artil lery close to their front line, the guns used being mostly 13-inch Austrian howitzers on movable carriages. "The Germans also are using effect ively armored trains carrying 4.7 guns. For the use of these armored trains the Germans have consolidated and strengthened the system of light rail ways, uniting a number of small towns in the neighborhood of Ypres, to which they have added strategical branch lines." x CLACKAMAS HOME LOOTED Portland Itealty Man Living at Min thornc Springs Loes Jewelry. ORrJGON CITY. Or., April 27. (Spe cial.) Another daylight robbery was added to the many in Clackamas Coun ty lately when the Minthorne Springs home of II. L.

The family was away from home at the time. Sheriff Wilson believes the thieves belonged to the same gang that has robbed homes at Oak Grove and other towns along the carline In the past few months. POWER COMPANY TO RAISE $1,250,000 Changing 50,000 Shares of Common Stock Into Pre ferred Is Proposal. capital Increase likely If Suggestion Is Carried Out Money Will Bo-Upended for Improve ments Dock Payment Is to Protect Bondholder. Diminishing revenues of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company have caused directors of the company to make plans for raising 1, 250,000 for immediate needs without levying a di rect assessment against the stock holders. This plan, which in brief provides that 20 per cent, or J5.000.0CO worth of shares of the outstanding common stock with a cash payment of $25 per share be exchanged for a like amount of preferred stock, will be considered at a special meeting of the stockholders on Friday, May 14. At present the company has $25,000, 000 in common stock outstanding upon which only $75 per share has been paid. It is proposed that one-half of the preferred shares, or $2,500,000, will be 6 per cent cumulative stock dating from January 1, 1916, subject to call at par and accumulated dividends at any dividend period. The remaining one-half, it Is pro posed, shall be 6 per cent non-cumulative stock, subject to call at par on any dividend date. These two classes of stock will be apportioned among the stockholders subscribing for the issue. At the same meeting the stockholders will consider a proposal to Increase the authorized capital stock of the com pany $10,000,000, of which $5,000,000 Is to be first preferred and $5,000,000 sec ond preferred. One-half of the stock In each of these lots Is to be disposed of In the plan heretofore outlined and the remaining $2,500,000 In each class will be held in the treasury for future sale by the directors. The company has paid no dividends for more than a year and Is confront! with the necessity of making numer ous Improvements and betterments. The directors have decided that the stock exchange plan is the best method of financing " the affairs of the company until its revenues again make it pos sible to meet expenses from current funds. "Our earnings have fallen off so that we no longer have the money to meet current expenses," said Franklin T. Griffith, president of the company, Monday. "Many local conditions are to blame. We propose to raise $1,250,000 and the plan that we have arranged for raising it, I think, will work the least hardship upon the stockholders. In fact, I am assured that we will .have no difficulty in making the exchange of stock and thUB raising the required amount of money. The money is to be used in making various improvements such as must be made every year." The company Monday received $375,000 from the Federal Government for the sale of the Oregon City locks, but this money must be held In trust for the bondholders of -the company inasmuch as the lock property was in cluded in various other properties to secure ' outstanding mortgages. OFFICIALS ARE 'PINCHED' COl'STV COMMISSIONERS CAUGHT SPEEDING O.V WASHINGTON TRIP. tviue County Chairman Intercedes and Day Is Saved Paving Inspected, but Decision Secret. Multnomah County's Commissioners were 1"pinched" for speeding on their tour of pavement inspection in Wash ington last week. If it hadn't been for Michael Carrlgan. chairman of the King County Board of Commissioners, they probably would have been haled before a Justice Court in Everett and heavily fined. "We hit it up pretty lively just be fore we got Into Everett," said Com missioner Lightner, telling about it Monday. "For the last five miles we were chased by a motorcycle officer. We had to slow down to enter the city and he overhauled us. He rode alongside and said we were all under arrest for exceeding the speed limit. We all got out and it looked pretty ticklish for a while, but Mr. Carrigan saved the day. " 'You shouldn't do this,' he said to the officer. 'Do you know who these men are? These two young men," waving his hand toward Mr. Holman and Mr. Holbrook. "are County Com missioners from Portland looking over the roads. This gentleman here,' and he pointed to me, 'is Bishop Peters.' "Carrigan talked to the officer a little while In this vein, and he let us go." After he had told the story on him self at the Courthouse the "Bishop Peters" Joke stuck to Mr. Lightner. None of the three Commissioners would, commit himself on the paving question after their return. They in spected county roads at Centralia, Chehalls. Tacoroa, Seattle and Everett, under the guidance of cement men. They were shown lots of good roads and a few bad roads. Just by way of contrast.

The affair was both a reception to him on his visit to Port land and a celebration of his 10 years service as chief executive officer of the order. . Of the warmth of his welcome and what the occasion meant to him, Mr. Boak spoke frequently during his two day stay in the city. He voiced hlB appreciation last night of the enthusi asm shown by members of the order and the demonstration was regarded by Woodmen as one of the greatest gatherings in the history of the order in Portland. Mayor Albee welcomed Head Consul Boak to Portland. Mr. Boak, in his address, spoke at some length on the subject of frater nal insurance. This year the Wood men of the World, he said, is 25 years old. The order, he said, has progressed wonderfully. W. C. Hawley, Representative in Congress and head manager of the Woodmen of the World, also spoke and George Rossman presided.

Zimmerman pleased the gathering with songs and Instrumental numbers. Pyra mid building by the Woodmen of the World drill team was much applauded. Mr. Boak was taken for an auto ride about the city and he was the guest of the Chamber of Commerce at luncheon. In the afternoon he was taken by John B. Yeon for trip over the Columbia River Highway. He left for Seattle. 3000 SEE NEW HIGHWAY Visitors Generally Cliarmed With View From Columbia Kiver Road. More than 600 automobiles, carrying an average of five people, went along the Columbia Highway Sunday, most of which went to the end of the com pleted portion. At Multnomah, Latourell, Bridal Veil, Shipherds and Oneonta hundreds congregated during the day to view the scenery. The road was dry and hard, although a little rough in places. Where the slide was caused by Winter rains a solid reinforced concrete foun dation has been built on concrete piers. Vith this reinforcement it Is not con sidered probable that any further slid ing will ever happen here. Work Is In progress reinforcing the outer edge. It was the opinion of those who vis ited the highway Sunday for the first time that it is the best investment Multnomah County ever made. "I never believed that such a splendid highway had been built." was the expression heard from hundreds. "I have trav eled extensively in Europe, but this highway, with the big river In view, is ahead of anything I ever saw," said a tourist as he viewed the scenery from Crown Point.

Two masked men held up and robbed Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Steel Just alter they had stepped from the train at Ewahe Station, on the Oswego line, late Sun day night. Twenty minutes lattr two men, who admitted their gruilt. were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs who rushed to the scene in an automobile. Soon after the two men stepped from behind a hawthorne hedge and secured only somo .mall change Mr. Steel rushed to a neighbor's house and telephoned to the Sheriff.' office. A posse started out In an automobile only a lew minutes after Deputy Sheriffs Phillips and Beckman left Portland In another machine.

DK1IS, ACCUSED OK THEFT, M AKES DAYLIGHT BREAK Elevator Taken, to Protective Bureau When She Calmly Walks Past Police and Bars aad Escapes. Pretty "Dolly St. Denis" whose real name is Mrs. Hazel Tackels and who lives In Milwaukie added to the ex ploits which brought her Into promi nence at police headquarters last month, when, under arrest Monday on a charge of shoplifting, she calmly walked past bars and guards out of jail, making the neatest daylight escape the local police station has known. Escaping -the vigilant eye of Mrs. J. C! Sampson, matron at the jail, for a moment, "Dolly" sauntered into the elevator on the fifth floor of the Mu nicipal building, at Second and Oak, where is located the City Jail. "Take me to the third floor the women's department," she said to the elevator operator. At the third floor she stepped from the lift and walked toward the door bearing the sign. "Municipal Bureau for the Protection of Women.". That much the elevator man saw. Then the great disappearance act waa staged. As though Hermann the Great, or other famous prestidigitator, and pulled a cord and waved a wand. "Dolly" dropped out of sight. The explanation of the escape is simple. "Dolly" did not open the door before which she stood but merely walked quietly down the two flights of stairs to the ground floor, past the desk sergeants, and out into liberty. The same woman who calmly strode into the sunlight in a break for free dom, walked Into police headquarter March !i and demanded that she be put in jail for 30 days, that she might be rid. for the time, of marital troubles. City Detectives Hyde and Vaughn ar rested "Dolly" Monday on a warrant sworn to by V. B. Griffith, charging her with the larceny of a dress at the 01d. Wortman &. King store.
