About 60 Places Covered in Trap
Laid by' Fire Marshal and in
One Case Xo Building Even
Stands Conference Held.
More serious than the mere revoca
tion of the licenses of a number of
fire insurance agents may be the out
come of the investigation conducted by
Fire Marshal Jay Stevens of tne ques
tion of over-insurance in Portland and
the indiscriminate writing of policies
by some of the agents.
Evidence was gathered yesteraay to
how that one of the insurance agents
who among the 35 or 40 others wrote
Insurance on the "contents" of vacant
houses, stopped a mailcarrier on his
route and. representing himself as
Charles Hevland got a letter contain
ng one of the policies aoaressea to
Mr. Hevland. one of tne nremen usee.
by Marshal Stevens to get insurance
policies on the vacant places.
This act will be taken up with the
postal authorities and an effort made
to find out which of the agents did
it. By posing as Hevland the agent
got nis policy Dack Detore it nau oeon
delivered. It had been made out and
mailed without investigation, appar
ently, and the effort to get It back
came when It became known about the
city that the Fire Marshal had laid his
trap. The mailcarrier says ne can
identify the man.
Policy Is Recovered.
The real Charles Hevland is a fire
man and in his own name he got an
insurance policy on some vacant prop
erty. Yesterday the mall carrier,
whose name has not been disclosed,
was accosted by a man who said, "I
am Mr. Charles Hevland have you any
mail for me?" The mall carrier is said
to have gone through his package of
mail and turned over the letter in
which was the policy. The letter was
addressed to Mr. Hevland at an East
Side address.
Insurance Commissioner Wells was
in Portland yesterday end was called
into conference with Fire Marshal
Stevens. He will hold another confer
ence with the fire marshal and Dis
trict Attorney Evans next Tuesday.
Mr. Wells did not pass judgment upon
the proposition, announcing that he
wished to see the policies and look
into the cases before taking any action.
He said, however, that if the facts as
presented to the public so far are true
he would be justified according to the
law in revoking licenses.
The policies, amounting to about $40.-
000. which were obtained by firemen
from agents, on a 10-cent tin cup. a
worn-out fire helmet and a grand Jury
subpena have been kept by Fire Mar
shal Stevens. About 10 more were
receieved yesterday, making a total of
60 In all. still others are expectea.

Among other policies received yes

Fire insurance agents who were

No fewer than 20 of them went to Mar

to get their policies back and to make

INSURANCE RISE IS SCORED
Credit Men Charge Rating Bureau
With Unfairness.
A resolution, aimed at the Under
writers' Rating Bureau, stamping as
"ill-advised, inopportune. Ill-timed and
unfair" the increase that has been
made by that bureau on insurance rates
in different parts of the city, was
adopted by the members of the Portland
Credit Men's Association at their
monthly meeting Wednesday night.
It was the sense of the members that
further activity along the line of fire
prevention and the eliminations of fire
hazards would be their special effort,
despite what the Underwriters' Rating
Bureau might do.
The resolution was signed by J, A.
Jamieson and Frank C, Moore.

able Offerto Be Refused. Time Is
Money Now, and There Is None to
Spare at Broadway and Alder St.
By Friday, the 2Sth, the first step in
.the proposed consolidation as hereto
fore advertised must be completed.
Bad weather has interfered with our
selling of late. We must make up for
lost time now. We are making still
greater inducements than ever. Read
this carefully.
The remaining stock brought over
from the Morrison-street firm, consist
ing of Bennett, Behning, Cable-Nelson,
Chase & Baker, Schoenberg, Schulz,
and also some specially fine Sohmer
upright and grand pianos, and even a
Kimball and a Knabe, and numerous
other makes, must be disposed of at once.
It is easy for anyone to save up $6
month, and when for only $188 we
are now turning over as fine a piano
as would ordinarily cost $300, and in
some places it would cost even $325,
and when we offer the less expensive
styles for only $165, $155 and $148,
and will take only $5 a month for
them, then there certainly can be no
excuse for putting off coming at once
to this sale.
The Morrison-street establishment
has been definitely closed and all of
the instruments have now been taken
out of storage, and are displayed on
the third floor of the Eilers building.
"Make quick disposition of every
thing" that's the order. Each and
every instrument is now offered at
the exact factory cost, not including
any advertising or sales expense
whatsoever. Quite a number of in
struments will be sold for even less.
Even the several baby grands may
be had on payments as little as $10
a month; others, as stated, are offered
on payments of only $5 a month; all
of them new pianos.
Payments so easy that no matter
how little the income, every home can
participate. V
Almost everything can be had for
less than half price, and we actually
make terms to suit any reasonable
buyer. A couple of dollars to show
your faith secures any instrument in
the sale. We want to do everything
possible to have all of them out of
the way quickly. Remember that
these are not cheap John pianos,
made for special sale purposes, but
the regular line of guaranteed instru
ments of an ambitious piano house,
and that the "Eilers money-back"
guarantee will accompany every in
strument in this sale.
Player pianos at corresponding re
ductions. Some $550 styles for as
little as $250; terms $10 a month,
music rolls included free. This means
just about two pianos for the price
of one.
Come in during the noon hour. Come
in right after 6 o'clock (our piano de
partment will be kept open until 7
P. M. each day, and later if neces
sary.) And if you cannot come in
person, write us or telephone, but
don't miss this chance if ever you
would own a good piano without hav
ing to pay profit this side the fac
tories that made them.
This is truly an unheard-of prop
osition a situation that will never
occur again. No matter what hap
pens, it is safe to say that modern,
brand new guaranteed pianos can
never be had again at such ridicu
lously low prices. And it is so easy
to pay for them.
Selling has recommenced and will
continue until every one of these in
struments has been disposed of.
By coming early you secure first
choice. This means something, too.
No charge for delivery. Appropria
ate stool or bench will also be in
cluded at cost.
Thus the great consolidation sale
has now recommenced in earnest;
don't miss it!
