About Our State
The Library. Association

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 building is new,
1 having been erected by Multnomah County In 1913 at a cost of approxi- I

fj It Is a true civic center. 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

BEDS ARE FIRED BY CHILD I
FAMILY OF N. G. FLETCHER HAS
NARROW "ESCAPE.
Four-Year-Old Flaya With Matches
- While Parent and Slater Sleep,
but Damage la Slight.
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.
The night garments of both children
and their mother were charred and
scorched In places, but all three es
caped without serious burns.

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.
