He is an elder in the Westminster Pres byterian church and a member of the board of governors of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Burnside's Work Lauded. "Both Mr. Burnside and I came from Iowa and I knew of his relationship with the Y. M. C. A. at Oskaloosa and the valuable work he did there." said H. W. Stone, general secretary of the Portland association, commentin upon the election. "Oskaloosa, though a comparatively small city, turned out some of the strongest association men in the United States. They were trained for large service in other fields.'' "The election to the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. Is an unsolicited call to community service and I shall do my best," said Mr. Burnside. Mr. Ladd's 27-year-term as presl dent represents a period of develop ment and prosperity for the Y . M. C. A., during which time it was linked closely with the growth of Portland. When he assumed the presidency the association owned no property; it rented a room ir building at First and Salmon streets. H. W. Stone was called from Sioux City, Iowa, to become general secre tary, and assumed his duties in 1S96. The meeting yesterday marked the beginning of Mr. Stone's 26th year in the Portland association.

Portland and Hood River at a total cost of 535,000, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company announced yesterday that it had afforded relief to the congested condition which has existed by wire in the Columbia river gorge since war days. Another im provement has been made through the construction of a new pole line from the Base Line road to Fairview and the tapping of six new copper circuits from Gresham to Portland on the Sandy road main lead line at a cost of $10,500. For more than four years Hqod River's use of toll lines between Hood River and Portland has had the effect of delaying through calls from east ern and central Oregon to Portland. This condition has been improved through the addition of the new cir cuits, according to the company. The company also has replaced several short stretches of Iron wire with cop per wire. Gresham wires were for merly all iron and were brought to Portland along the Base Line road pole system, which has been abandoned.

Read The Oregonian classified ads- sawyer, that he might elope with tha latter's wife, Irene, after Zuiderduin had been safely placed in the state penitentiary for burglary, was made yesterday by Harry Hunnicutt, ex convict, after he had been thoroughly grilled by police detectives. The plot of the woman and her ex convict suitor to railroad the wom an's husband to the penitentiary for a burglary committed by Hunnicutt, fell through Tuesday night, when Detective Captain Harms. Detective McCulloch and Manager Riley of the Pinkerton detective agency succeeded in breaking down Mrs. Zuiderduin, after she had attempted to carry through tho plot against her husband. Hunnicutt Bound Over. In police court yesterday Hunnicutt waived a preliminary examination and was held to the state grand jury for burglary under JlTiOO cash bail, which he was unable to furnish. Mrs. Zu iderduin yesterday lay sob bing on a cot in a detention room at police headquarters. The disillusion ment had come and she was bitter airainpt her former suitor. "T still love my husband and will go back to h'm In a minute if he wUl only take me," she cried. "But we had been quarreli ng and I took up with Harry because we were not get ting along at home." Zuiderduin, a plain, outspoken woodsman, was equally as anxious to effect a reconciliation with his wife. He refused to blame her for the plot, which, had it been successful, would have sent him to the penitentiary for a term of years. Ex-Convict IS Blamed. "This fellow Hunnicutt is wholly to blame," he insisted. "He talked her into it and kept after her so much she was swept off her feet. I want to take her back and .start in all over again. I think this will be good lesson for her and that we can get along all right in the future. In spite of every effort, police thus far have failed to get much addi tional information from Hunnicutt other than his admission that he had planned with the woman to 'frame her husband in order that they might be married. He insists -that two other men helped him to rob the jewelry store, but he says he has no idea where they are at -present. The po lice, however, believe it was a one- man job. and that Hunnicutt cither has the remainder of the jewelry still cached away or has sold it. Mrs, Zuiderduin was wearing one of the stolen rings. She said Hunnicutt had given it to her. Zuiderduin said Hunnicutt had offered to give him a ring, but that he had refused to ac cept it. Moonshine "Plant" Suspected. The burglary plot is not the first time that Hunnicott has attempted to "frame" Zuiderduin, the latter told the police. He said that Columbia county officers recently searched his house for moonshine which he be lieves Hunnicott had attempted to "plant" there, but nothing was done because the liquor was not found. Zuiderduin was released from cus tody yesterday after Hunnicutt had been held to tfce grand jury. As soon as he had been given his freedom Zui derduin busied himself in an effort to procure bail for his wife, who is still held as a material witness and an ac complice of the ex-convict in the plot against Zuiderduin. The husband said he would make every effort to raise the required bail from St. Helens friends today. bers Is Incorporated as the Associated Purchasing & Service corporation, with headquarters at Seattle.

Arrival of Bodies to Be Marked by Public Memorial for All Ore gon War Victims. It is quite probable that a half holiday will be proclaimed by the city authorities by way of paying tribute to the last soldier dead to be returned to Portland for burial. Such tribute also would be for all victims of the world war whose bodies have been brought home from overseas. The proposal that a half-holiday be declared in honor to these war victims came from the commanders' council of allied veterans, of which J. J. Crossley is president, and was read to the city council at its session yesterday. It is proposed that the bodies expected to arrive within a week or less be placed in the muni cipal auditorium to rest in state there from 8 A. M. to 2 P. M. of the day to be designated. At 3 P. M. public services would be held in the auditorium, the afternoon being ob served as a half-holiday. It was reported that the last group of bodies to be sent here by the war department was due in New York, April 27. Efforts to learn just when) thev mav be expected here thus far have been unavailing, it was report ed. Meanwhile, however. City At torney Grant, through authorization by the council, will draft an ordi nance under which the half-holiday may be proclaimed. The council appropriated $600 to be expended through direction of Grand Army organizations and kindred bod ies in the usual observance of Memo rial day, May 30. state law regarding operation of a tractor with cleats on its wheels over s'reets of The Dalles.

Arrest was made by State Traffic Officer Saltzman. Misen was fined $25 for the offense by City Recorder Gates, but inasmuch as he was working under orders from the county, the county will have to re imburse him, it was stated.

Music was floating throuph the homo of J. E. Chinn. 393 Halsey street. Mrs. Chinn was at the piano. Her husband was singing. From his throat came the lilting strains of "The End of a Perfect Day." While the last strains were being wafted ceillngward. Robert Rainey, r.egro burglar, was busily engaged in gathering up the jewels and other valuables of the Chinn domicile pre paratory to making his departure. Rainey. who was arrested by police detectives early yesterday, laugh ingly told his captors how he had robbed the Chinn residence while the head of ihe house was singing.
