Friends of the late Thomas 8cott Brooke -will pay their respects to his memory at the funeral services to be held this afternon from the family res idence at 722 Flanders street. The ceremonies will be held at 4 o'clock, with Dr. A. A. JTorrison. pastor of the Trinity Episcopal Church, of f iciatlng. At Jlivervlew Cemetery the services will be private. The traffic end of Mr. Brooke, who was one of Portland's foremost realty dealers, capitalist and clubman, was the principal subject of discussion among his many friends yesterday. Mr. Brooke leaped from a window in the Fecond story of hia residence at 722 Klanders street late Tuesday afternoon. Friends of Mr. Brooke found it diffi cult to realize that, in all probability, he had ended his own life. - "He was young yet. popular and wealthy. He had everything to live for. I can't believe that Scott knew what he was doing-," said an intimate friend yesterday. As it was variously estimated yes terday, financial worries were not of sufficient magnitude seriously to trou ble Mr. Brooke, were lie not in a high ly strung nervous condition from over work. Worth in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, his liabilities could not have possibly exceeded half of this amount. It was said. It is not known whether Mr. Brooka left a will, or died intestate. The strongboxes in which he kept his pri vate papers have not been touched since his death, and Mr. Brooke has had no legal adviser for a year past, bo far as is known. Carter P. Poraeroy, of San Francisco, father-in-law of Mr. Brooke, is ex pected to arrive from the south early this afternoon. As he is a leading law yer in the Bay City, he may be named administrator of the estate, if the set tlement of affairs is not turned over to Frank Klernan, Mr. Brooke's busi ness partner. Mr. Brooke was an enthusiastic horseman and was a familiar sight riding Joe Jewett. the famous brown horse, which ' carried him among the winners In many a paper chase held by the Portland Hunt Club- Joe Jewett has been well provided for by " his owner. Though not riding recently, Mr. Brooke was prominent In years past at all outdoor events where horse 'manship was brought into play. Astride his sorrel mount, he was a striking and oftseen figure on the by ways of Multnomah County. lie I PERS0NAL MENTION. "W. C. Pearce, of Chicago, is at the Carlton. L. h.

Hmrttrlr for Whose Arrest J .11)0 Reward Is Offered. RAYMOND, Wash., April 28. (Spe cial.) J. J. Haggerty, ex-president of the Raymond Trust Company, which closed its doors last September, and who is now a fugitive for whom a $500 reward has been offered, was for sev eral years a trusted lieutenant of Marcus Daly during the palmy days of Montana, when Daly and ex-Sejiator Clark were fighting their fiercest po litical battles. During those years Mr. Haggerty conducted a large boarding house in Butte, which was headquar ters for the miners, and it was at his hotel that many of the plans of the Daly forces were hatched out. While Mr. Hag-gerty was still in charge of the hotel it was destroyed by fire, a num ber of people losing their lives in the flames. From Butte Mr. Haggerty went to Seattle, wbere he conducted a wholesale liquor store for several ye,ars, and where again he was a prominent figure in politics. Shortly after Raymond was founded he came to this city and before even the streets were put in shape for travel he opened the Raymond Trust Company and for several years the bank appar ently flourished. He always took an active part in all matters of a public nature, and was one of the leaders in the Democratic party In this county. Notwithstanding the fact that his hank was capitalized at only $25,800, of which he and his family owned all the stock, a statement made by the receiver short ly after the bank failed alleged that $43,794.84 had been loaned to the imme diate members of his family. A few days after the bank closed two warrants were issued for Haggerty's arrest on charges of receiving funds when he knew the bank to be insolvent. Shortly after giving hail it was ru mored that he had disappeared and would not be present when his case was called. This proved true.

Opening- Day's Results Small out Heavy Taklna-a Not Expected I atll New port Beds Are Reached. BAY CITY, Or., April 28. (Special.) The -steam tug Vosburpr, which has been chartered by the United Fisheries Company, of Portland, for deep-sea fishing today made its first trip over the bar and twice during the day the nets were brought up, with but partial success, and the boat returned tonight, carrying only about 100 pounds of sole and cod and eight dozen crabs. The second haul revealed about three tons of crabs in the meshes of the net- The great proportion of them were too small for commercial value, but showed that this department of the industry may prove to be an important factor. The attempts today were made just off the Tillamook bar about two miles out, and the small showing was no great disappointment as no great suc cess was anticipated so far north. The Vosburg at present is only exploring for the ' best fishing banks, gradually working its way south, where better results are expected. According to W. W. Ridehalgh, who is backing the venture, real success in the enterprise is not expected until the banks in the neighborhood of Newport are reached, but that tlye effort js to find the closest point to Bay NCly where fishing can be carried on at a profit, as this will be the headquarters of the boat, and the shipping point for the product. The Vosburg Is provi sioned for a week, and has a crew of nine men. BURGLAR IS PAROLE MAN - Fred B. Strong la Wanted in Wash ington, Says Officer. Fred B. Strong, alias Fred B.

Wilbur Hadley, 16 years old, was arrested to day in the act of pinning to the door of a motion-picture theater a letter which the police say threatened death to the theater owner unless 1000 was left at a place the youth designated. Hadley is said to have told the proba tion officers that he wrote the letter just for fun" to eee how the owner would act when he read It. According to the -police, it was the third of several threatening letters the boy had pinned to the door. lakes and expects to engage In exten sive operations there, beginning this Summer. Some people think his enter prise will grow into one of the largest and mnst important in the state. But it is of peculiar importance that the Jason .Moore who now is in Portland is not the same Jason Moore who pro cured the lake lease. The present vis itor is a tourist and here merely to see the sights. "I have been confused with the other Jason Moore ever since he closed his deal with the state," said Mr. lo.,re last night.
