Kush of Merchants to Enlist Under
Banner for Thursday Is Increas

Fromiscs Extra Service.
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."

Mrs. Emma B. Carroll Resigns
From Congressional Union.
DR. 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."

ALBANY HAS TIMBER FIRE
Iogged-Off Area Burning- Endangers
Houses and Mill.
ALBANY, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Several houses about eight miles east
of Albany were endangered by a fire
which started yesterday afternoon and
covered about 40 acres of logged-off
land which was thickly covered with
brush and small timber. About 100 men
fought it most of last night when it
endangered some residences, and the
sawmill of I. H. Copeland. It is burn
ing yet and if the wind should come up
several houses will be in danger again.
the rirerighters believe tonight that
without wind they can control It.
The only loss thus far aside from the
timber is from the destruction of 15
cords of wood belonging to P. B. Mar

The one notable exception in which
a delegation has come to the conference
with Its members unanimously favor

tne leading supporters in Congress of
the Administration.
Denver for State Rights.
United States Senator Reed Smoot

General, are the other members of the
uian delegation, which is solid for

hTe Colorado delegation, headed by
Clyde C. Dawson, of Denver, who is
also to deliver the keynote address of
tne conference today, is firmly com
mitted to the same principle.
Mr. Dawson has been In Portland a

George E. West, of Durango, and W.

"We are In favor of action that will
result in legislation, not block legis

Multnomah last night.
"Our delegation is generally favor
able to tha principles of the Ferris
bill. We are all here willing to set
aside our personal beliefs in the hope
that the conference will agree to leg
islation ror which we have long been
praying, to make possible appropria
tion and development of the water
powers of our state.
"The United States Geological Sur
vey has estimated that Montana has
5,000,000 potential horsepower in its
streams. Of this only 225,000 horse
power Is now developed.
"The feasibility of using this power
on our railroads is already being der
onstrated In our state, and we are be
