Mack, want ?d for the robbery of Postoffice Station A the night of February 12, 1915, has been arrested in Philadelphia on a charge of highway robbery. Following his capture near Detroit, after a sensational chase following his attempt to cash money orders stolen from Station A, Mack made an even more sensational escape. He was on his way to Portland to stand trial here last November, when he tricked his guards and leaped through the win dow of a Pullman. This was near Sand point, Idaho. Government postoffice inspectors im mediately took the trail, but were un able to find Mack. However, the trial of his confeder ate, Bruce Granville, proceeded without him.

Is ISSUE WILL BE-UP TONIGHT John Ii. lay Scheduled for Chair man and Delegates Are Said to Be Pledged to Perform. Drw Smith May Oppose. A warm session may be expected at the first meeting of the new Multno mah County Republican Central Com mittee, which has been called for 8 o'clock tonight in the assembly hall of the Central Library. The question at issue will be whether Elmer L. Amidon, John L. Day and their faction are to. retain control of the Republican county or ganization. At the primary election, the Radia tors, Mr. Amldon's political organiza tion, had candidates up for precinct committeemen from various pre cincts. The Radiators make the as sertion that they have a clear majority of the new committee, and that their members will stand "hitched" to put through the programme. Mr. Day Slated for Chairman. Unless they make a switch at the last moment for policy's sake this pro gramme will include the election or John L. Day as chairman and of per sons acceptable to Amidon for secre tary and treasurer. Originally the plan was for Amidon himself to be elected secretary, but he was defeated in his own precinct by Dr. Alan Welch Smith for committee man. Not being a member of the new committee, he is not eligible for office in it. However, there are abundant indica tions that the "programme" will not go through, if it goes through at all, without stiff opposition. Among those mentioned as opposi tion candidates for the chairmanship of the committee is Dr. Alan Welch Smith, member of the Board of Ed ucation. P. E. Struck is another po tential candidate, who is said to have many followers among the independ ents. Fight Is Moat Likely. Victor Brandt is prominently men tioned as a probable independent can didate for treasurer. The independ ents deny that the Amidon faction can hold -its delegates in line for the "pro gramme" when the test comes, and pro fess to have many of them pledged al ready for one of the rival candidates. However that may be, there is every indication that the meeting will be decidedly interesting from opening round to the final gong. Though there are 375 precincts in Multnomah County, and each precinct is entitled to one member of the County Central Committee, aoout 109 of the precincts probably will not be repre sented. Some precincts did not elect committeeman, and there are con tests in several others. Certificate Are Required. The first test of the strength prob ably will occur over the seating of the contested committeemen. No -committeeman will be entitled to vote unless he presents his certifi cate of election. Formerly it was the custom to mail these certificates to the successful candidates. There has not been time to do so this year. To get the certificates, members of the committee should call at the office of the County Clerk some time before 5 o'clock today. The credentials have been made out there and will be given those committeemen who call for them. Here is a list of the committeemen elected: 1. C. Conroy; 2. F. W. Urquhart; 4, T. Gray; 6. E. G.

BIG CROWD ENTERTAINED Beautiful Dcoorntions and Finish of Stately Rooms Are Admired, While Former Habitues He call Bygone Days. From a bar to a ballroom scented with fragrant flowers and redolent of haunting memories of many tales of bibulous Joy- and frivolity, is the mar velous transformation which greeted the hundreds of men and women who riocked to the Portland Hotel last night to attend the - opening of the new "Assembly Hall." It is the dear old bar. that has in the past rubbed to a merry gloss the elbows of Portland's prominent men, and their erstwhile smoking-room, that have been converted Into a ballroom and reception-room. The barroom Is now the ballroom, the walls and wood work having been given many coats of paint, the white woodwork harmoni ously blending into the'roseate hue of the walls and casting a warm glow over the merry dancers. The former smoking-room is now a stately reception-room. with heavy mulberry draperies, artistic bronae and mulberry toned tapestried walls and around the sides of the room inviting ly stand the same beloved old chairs that enticed the men who sat and glowed under the effects of their favorite "appetizer" before dinnex, and concocted plausible excuses for their absence from home dinners, while they waxed eloquent relating humorous anecdotes, or "started something" for the evening's festivities. Mr. and Mrs. Ober received the large assemblage In the reception-room.
