The crowd thnt for Portland's first Dollar day is going to be taken care of. There will be no chance for the gentry of the light fingers to nip a purse and get away with it. There will be no crowding to endanger the Uvea of weak women. It win De as orderly as a parade through a church aisle on Easter Sunday. Chief of Police Clark and Captain Moore will see to that. They will be assisted by the deputies of the Sheriffs force, and all the railroad detectives of the city will be on duty at the depots and through the uptown dis trict. .Detectives will be on dutv nil day, and if one of the pocket-picking iriDe snouia snow up on the streets he will pass the day at police headquar ters as a -precautionary measure. Chief Clark does not propose that even one chopper shall have reason to complain. The sight of one of these suspicious characters on Dollar day will be suffi cient for providing sanctuary in the city's strong house. Big: Crowd Kxpected. Indications are that there will be a tremendous crowd of bargain hunters. It was the interest of shoppers that accounted for the rush of merchants to get registered at Chamber of Com merce headquarters. The rush of mer chants began last Friday and kept up yesterday. Their customers in all parts of town were ringing their telephones to inquire about Dollar day, and how much their dollars would buy. The merchants did not need many hints of that kind. They saw that they might lose old customers by failing to offer neat bargains under the red pennant ign of the Chamber of Commerce next Thursday, and by the same token there was danger of their not acquiring any new ones. The Thursday rush is expected to be rln early in the morning. In fact some of the stores ace expecting a line up before the doors are opened. Yesterday the matter was taken up with the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, and arrangements made for extra cars on all lines. Bundles will be looked after at all downtown stations of the company, and every aid given to shoppers who make use of interurban lines. Autos Advertising; Event. Automobiles were sent out through the residence district yesterday bear ing great signs advertising Dollar day. and they will continue the work of covering the city until Wednesday night. "Dollar day comes at a time when the people of the city are closing out a line of hard times, and will appreci ate the fact that they can secure-many needed articles at less money than on ordinary days," said J. C. English, chairman of the Retail Merchants' Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. "There are more men at work in Portland right now than for a long time. They have been doing without things that are ordinarily considered necessities. Their stocks of supplies have run low, and in preparing a great list of bargains great in number and variety and values the merchants are doing their part to restore normal con ditions. "It may be taken as a fact that every store displaying the red pennant on Thursday is acting in good faith and is offering some better values for one dollar than at any other time."

EQUI IS STORM CENTER Dlsagrecmnet Follows Naming Delegates to National Conen- tion State Organizer Evasive. Critics Candid in Comment. Mrs. Emma B. Carroll has resigned from the Congressional Union. After taking an active and leading part in the organization she has sud denly decided to quit. Her resignation follows Closely the trouble that arose when the announcement was made that Dr. Marie Equi had gone to San Fran cisco as a delegate to the National Con vention of Women "Voters. Theft came Mrs. Carroll's statement that Ir. Equi was not a delegate to the National meeting. Dr. Equi then threatened to bring suit against Mrs. Carroll. The mix-up has caused a decided sen sation in suffrage circles. Mrs. Car roll declined yesterday to discuss the incident. Mies Virginia Arnold, state organizer for the Congressional Union, said I am very sorry all this has transpired. We were getting along so well and were fast gaining support for the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Peo ple should be too big to start these un pleasant conditions. But we are all human. I begged them not to take the action they did, but my arguments were wept aside." When asked who the delegates were Miss Arnold said she had nothing to do with the matter and did. not know. The appointing had been in the hands of a committee and thoy were supposed to name 60 delegates. Questioned as to the personnel -of the committee Miss Arnold was evasive. It was eaid, how. ever, on good authority that Mrs. Car roll had. made the appointments. When Mrs. William Kent, of Cali fornia, was here she announced at the Congressional Union luncheon at the liotel Portland that any woman who wished to attend would be recognized as a delegate. Confirming this came a telegram yesterday to Miss Arnold from Kan Francisco from one of the National officers who eaid "Every woman voter had a vote on the floor of the house at the convention last week." That ruling made Dr. Equi a recognized delegate, as she is a woman voter, Mrs. J. R. Oatman, who objected to the "cut-and-dried" methods of the re cent meeting of the Oregon Congres sional Union, said yesterday: "An or ganization for equal Tights should, be broad and democratic and should, not be run by a lot of "codfish aris tocracy." I hear Mrs. Carroll is out of the union. She overstepped her au thority and now she has stepped out." Salem Schools Are Opened. BALEM, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.
