Association I (5 I "piFTT-FOUn years ago the first movement was started to provide Port- 0 land, then a frontier city of about five thousand people, with a public 1 pP 1 circulating: library. Twenty-five hundred dollars was soon pledged by Its 1 citizens, and the first meeting of the subscribers was held January 12. 1S64. 1 The development of the library followed very closely the prosperity of the city. For nearly forty years, however. It was available only to those who paid for its privileges. "With the growth of the city there came the demand for a broader policy, and in March, 1901. the Library Association of Port- 5 land became a free library with a membership of 8107. Today the member- 1 ship is about 80,000, exclusive of children drawing; books through the schools. (J Portland's Central Public Library, located at Tenth and Tamhill streets, Is considered the finest library in the Northwest.

The latest official report (1915) shows that In the course of one year 24S3 lectures and meetings were held In the Oen- i tral Library and branch libraries, with an attendance of 108,920. Over 30.000 I children attended the story hour In the library and playgrounds during that I year. Approximately 300,000 persons visited the periodical room during the A I same period. 1 r3 I IP I (J The library possesses, from gifts and bequests, over $115,000, which re- I I turns an annual income of $7000. This sum is used for the purchase of I A books. It also owns five branch libraries and the property on which they 1 i are located, all of which were given to the association and represent a value 1 3 I of $177.00..

By setting fire to the beds in which Ills mother and little sister slept, yes terday morning at 9:25 o'clock 4-year-old Eugene Fletcher, son'' of Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Fletcher, of 707 Tioga street, St. Johns, imperiled the lives of the family and narrowly missed reducing their bom to ashes. ' Mr. Fletcher, a wood-worker, had left the dwelling earlier In the morn ing. His wife returned to their bed chamber and fell asleep again. Eu gene and his little sister, 2 years old. were sleeping in a trundle bed. The boy awoke and rambled into the kitchen, where he located the forbid den match box. Returning to the bed chamber he amused himself by strik ing the matches, and ignited both beds. His mother, roused by the smoke and names, sprang from tne mazing cov ers and rescued her little daughter, whose bed was also aflame. .With her children she sought the home of a neighbor, Mrs. W. I. Chidester, at 716 East Buchanan street. Mrs. Chidester telephoned to the fire department, and then attacked the fire, which had gained considerable head way. She broke through a window and entered the bedchamber. For some mo ments Mrs. Chidester fought the flames, which forced her to retreat Just as en gine 32, commanded by Captain Stark, arrived. x- The fire was quickly placed under control. It is estimated that the loss and damage to the room will total $75.

FRED LAGEY ACQUITTED LACK OF IDENTIFICATION FEATITRH IN SWINDLE TRIAL. Georgre Fay, ServlmK Time for Ilavlns; S.1400 of Frank Pemdergufi Miss ing fSSOO, Says They "Split." Fred Lacey, charged with robbing his pal and benefactor, Frank Pender gast, of $3500, was found not guilty by a Jury In the court of Circuit Judge Tucker yesterday, after deliberations lasting less than an hour. The money lost by Fendergast was part of $4000 received from the Southern Pacific Rail road for the loss of an arm while work ing as a switchman in the Portland yards. The weak point of the prosecution was in the identification of Lacey as the man who had been with Fendergast on a drunken carousal the night the switchman wss robbed. George Fay, who is serving time in Salem on a re voked parole, resulting from his .con nection with the robbery ($1400 of the stolen money was found In his posses sion), was chief witness against Lacey. He picked Lacey out of a crowd of prisoners at the County Jail as the man whom he had seen with Fendergast the night of the robbery. On cross-examination Fay denied that he had seen Lacey in the office of the Jailer prior to picking him out of the crowd. Evidence of Detective Snow and one of the Jailers was that Fay had been in the same room with Lacey and that Lacey bad been called by name prior to the test. Fay's story of how he received $1400 of the money was .hat he approached Lacey the next day and asked for a "split" of the mcney taken from Fen dergast, ex. laining that he knew Lacey took the money because he would have done so himself If he bad had Lacey's chance.
