cial.) Discovery of the charred body
of an unidentified man in the ashes of
a pile of dry limbs and brush at Home

mittee includes Rev. C. O. McCulloch,
Dr. F. L. Loveland, Dr. Thomas Lane,

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.

POLICEMEN GALLED OUT
"BLIND MAX" CAUSES TROUBLE,
BUT TICKETS GO FAST,
Crowds Gather at Hotels, Blue Coats
Rush In, Then All Learn Muti' Plan
to Help Send Band East.
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.

Are Used With Extraordinary
Daring,
LONDON, April 27. "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

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.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY AS WOOD
HEN CHIEF CELEBRATED.
Head Consul Much Feted During Two
Day Stay In Portland and Ex
presses Deep Appreciation.
In honor of I. I. Boak. head consul
of the Woodmen of the World, more
than 1000 members of the order and
their friends gathered in Masonic Tem
ple Mouday night. 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.
A feature of the occasion was the
presentation of head consul's class, of
319 new members by E. P. Martin,
deputy head consul.
Webber's Junior Banjo Sextette, the
Portland Ad Club Quartet and T. W.
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.
THIEVES WORK BY DAY
Woman Returning Home at CJ P. 31.
Sees Robber Leaving.
While Mrs. Charles F. Nell, of 733
East Sixty-second street North, was on
a shopping trip Monday, thieves en
tered her home and stole jewelry valued
at about $200. As Mrs. Nell entered
the house about 2 P. M. she saw one
of the thieves going out of the rear
door. She describes him as being
heavy set and wearing a blue suit and
brown hat.
Within the past month several rob
beries have been committed in that
part of the Rose City Park district. It
is believed the robberies have been
carried on by an organized band of
thieves.

Soon after the two men stepped

I IH JAIL FLITS
IOM.Y ST. 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.
Los Angeles, and other I'.icific I'oant
cities, similar performances will l
