She was subse quently arrested, however, by Detectives Carpenter and Reslng. She returned to the scene at 10 o'clock three hours aitor the affair. She was boolred on a charge of drunkenness, but in case of death of Mrs. Stone, a charge of murder will be placed against the prisoner. She admits throwing the lamp. After the escape of Miss Tompkins. Fred Tenant, an employe of the saloon below, rushed upstairs, and found Mrs. tone lighting desperately for her life. She was a mass of flames. He threw a heavy quilt about her, smothering the fire. He then carried, her down in his arms, left her in a place of safety and turned in an alarm of fire from box 112.

Acting Captain of Police Hogeboom dis patched Policemen White and Isaacs in a patrol " wagon, and ordered Mrs. Stone conveyed to Good Samaritan Hospital.

She suffered great agony while being removed to the hos pital, and it required the combined strength of the officers and a -woman friend to keep her on the stretcher. 'She was also cut In the back by glass from the lamp chimney, but not badly. Mrs. Stone Is the wife of Fred Stone, formerly a member of the Fire Depart ment, but now an inmate of the City Jail. At her request he was arrested last week, charged with aesault and battery. Upon being found guilty In the Municipal Court yesterday, he was sentenced to serve a term of five days.

"I admit throwing the lamp at Nora," said "Miss Tompkins, before being locked tip. "We had an argument. She struck me in the face, making mo very angry. I then threw the lamp at her, and when It exploded I got frightened and ran, leav ing her alone. I don't know what made us get into the quarrel, for we have al ways been good friends. I am sorry It occurred, but It's too late now to cry over It." "In case of the doath of Mrs. Stone. I will Immediately hold an Inquest," said Acting Coroner A. L. Flnley. "It would become a vary serious case, and will re ceive full Investigation." AND NOW IT'S THE SANITARIUM Another Prominent Institution Pur chases a Fine Piano at Eilers Piano House. - After much Investigation as to prices and comparison of merits and qualities of the many different pianos offered at the different Portland piano stores, the directors of the Portland Sanitarium de cided last week upon a beautiful Ho 'nart M. Cablo piano. The instrument is' handsomely casedin walnut and pos sesses an exceptionally rich fine tone. The Hobart M. Cable ia one of the most prominent pianos now before the musical world. Its construction Is the very best and in tone quality, it pos sesses great artistic merit. The sanita rium and its patrons are to be -congratulated upon having such a superb instrument. New York State Society. The members of the New York State Society held an enthusiastic mooting last night at their headquarters In. the City Hall. The room was filled with those who had formerly made the Etri- piro State their home,, and who are now forming a systematic organization, to place the advantages of their adopted home before their Eastern friends. After the business session the mem hers were entertained by a pleasing programme consisting of violin solos by Miss Tipporah- Harris, and select readings by Miss Elizabeth Sill, di rector of the department of oratory of the Northern Conservatory of Music After a socfal hour following the programme, the society adjourned to meet again on April 14.

THREE GREAT GATHERINGS Sermons for Men, for Women and.for Children Exclusively Will Form Features of the Big Revival Meetings Today. Yesterday was a day of rest for the revivalists. They tolled not. hut today they will work, and before the sun rises ever the hilltops of the eastern horizon they Plan t Inaugurate a campaign of religious warfare, the like of which has never been known in the City of Port land. At the various churches the regular pas tors will hold forth at the morning ser vices, fcjtttliv the evening the evangelists will again rake up the revival meetings, and it is generally understood that they will nrswnnelr first real effort for con version at .those servlces.r At 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Mar quam Grand Theater. Rev W. E. Ble derwolf will deliver his world-famed lec ture entitled. "The White LJfc," to men only. Itev. jar. Blederwolf is famous as an athlete. About ten years ago he de feated Arthur Zimmerman, the champion bicycle rider of the world. When a col lege student he helped to dreg the ban ner of Princeton to victory more than once jupon the baseball and football fields and lias taken an active Interest In sports of many kinds for several years, yet there is no "college" In his talks. With cvery-day language, using plain and sim ple arguments, he handles the Gospel as he would handle anything else In straight, business style. He roaches down in his audience and brings each hearer to him. If the hearer is not convinced he is at least set to thinking. He Is not much for gestures and still less for ora tors' as commonly taught. He Is a groat deal for little human-interest stories to Illustrate his points. Ho tells a story better than the avorage minister and in a pathetic voice he convinces his audi ence that he Is sincere. Sermon of Life Interest. Mr. Biederwolf is a wonderful handler of men. He knows just how to get their attention and even before he begins his address he wins their confidence. The "White Life" beggars description. To be appreciated It must be heard. It is a story of life interest, and yet a sermon. There are passages of wit. humor, pathos, sentiment and religious advice In the lec ture, and all that attend the meeting to day may rest assured that they will leave with a feeling of repentance for not hav ing listened to the other sermons of Rev. Mr. Blederwolf at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church. At the same hour that Rev. Mr. Bleder wolf is speaking to men at the Marquam, Rev. Henry Ostrom. the silver-tongued orator of the evangelist band at present in Portland, will address the women at the White Temple. Mr! Octrom Is one of the most convincing of all the preach ers, with Dr. Chapman, and in his In imitable manner of telling of the "divin ity of the Christ and his ability as an actor he creates an interest among his audience that Is never forgotten. Dr. Chapman, too, is a great speaker 'to men only, and that all may have an ALBINA FERRY BOAT NO. An Inspection of A!b!n. ferryboat No. 2, which has teen named the Lionel K.

"Chased Out of the. World." to men only. Dr. Chapman has a great reputation as an evangelist, but It may surprise some people to be told that ho Is far more capable of speaking to men only than to a mixed congregation. For many years during the early period of hjs work In the pulpit he made a specialty of talking to men, and It was in these meetings that he really got- his reputa tion. He has a faculty of talking direct to men in a way that interests thm and at the same time convinces them that he has a message to deliver that they can profit by. Fred Butler's Work. Assisting Dr. Chapman in the services at the White Temple thl3 evening -will be Fred Butler and Charles F. Allen. Of Mr. Butler the Atlanta Journal says: "A light-haired young man with a strong in dividuality shining from his smooth shaven face advances from the center of the choir crowd and, to the. accompani ment of a piano on the platform, sings. Of a verity, my brethren, he sings. He used to sing under circumstances alto gether different from these, altogether different. He was a member of Alice Nellson's comic opera company, being no less a factor of that organization than understudy to Eugene Cowles. Fred But ler evidently learned some of the Cowles methods of effective singing, for he has them to spare In his beautiful solos in the Wilbur Chapman religious meetings. "He advances to the center of the plat form's edge and in a cool, resonant bari tone literally sings the auditorium full of melody a great, peaceful, religious mel ody that must be counted in the equation when the sum total of results for the meeting are enumerated. Fred Butler's singing prepares the audience, through Its lofty Inspiration and Its power to force out worldly thoughts, for the seed of re ligion the evangelist sowe later. He has a groat work In hand and he must be aware of It, for he gave up a salary of fl50 a week to take on this work, which pays so much less in salary that his self-sacrifice cannot be doubted for an instant. ''Dr. Chapman secured Mr. Butler ae a part of his business method in religion, perhaps, and he has not been sorry a minute for the investment. He likes the linger and. his work Immensely, and likes with corresponding fervor the effect of the singer's beautiful influence on the au diences. Mr. Butler was brought to the work with Dr. Chapman through the sug gestion of George Stebbins, who used to ring with Moody." Mr. Butler will sing "Nazareth" and several other songs at the White Temple, and Mr. Allen will lead the choir of male I singers. Other Evangelistic Meetings. In the othc" districts the same evan gelists that have been conducting the meetings during the past few nights will hold forth again tonight, and in several 2 IS GIVEN ITS TRIAL-TRIP AND FOUND TO WORK WELL of the sections overflow meetings have been arranged for, which will be conduct ed by prominent local preachers. Special songs by the singing evangel ists will be featiires at all of the meet ings, and it is probable that most of the churches will be tho scenes of "after" meetings tonight. A mass rally for girls from 10 to 18 years of age will bo held at the First Congregational Church this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. C T. Schaeffcr will speak on "Five Kinds of Bread," and Frank Dickson will lead a girl's chorus of a hun dred voices, as well as sing several solos. One hour later Rev. Mr. ScbaefTer will spaak at a meeting for boys only at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Tho subject will bo "Habits."- Mr. Dickson will sing at this gathering of boys, and there will be other special features of great Interest to tho youngsters. One of the special "numbers upon the programme at tha Marquam will-be the singing of the Chapman Male Quartet. They will sing "The Man of Galilee" and othor songs. Talks to Salvation Army. The Salvation Army had a great re ligious awakening last night. Rev. J. L. McComb, of the Chapman revival ists, was the mala attraction and ho was successful in drawing a large crowd. He 13 a gifted speaker and as soon as he begins- to talk secures the attention of the audience in such a manner that they seem to forget every thing else but tho theme upon which he is talking. BOY OF FOURTEEN MISSING Ralph McCam Lost on His Way to Dallas Ralph McCam. a boy of 14, 'who was on his way to Dallas from the East in company with his sister, Lola McCam, and younger brother, has mysteriously disappeared. His sister Is-- about 17 years of age. The three children were In Portland Friday, but. instead of taking the West Side train to Dallas, got on the South ern Pacific Overland to San Francisco. They were put oft at one of tho sta tions a short distance from Portland and came back to this city escorted by C S. Hill, a brakexnan. When they had reached this city it was noticed that the boy was missing, which was tho first intimation of his disappearance. It is, not known whether the boy went on with the train or was lost In tho crowd at the depot. The girl and the younger brother are now at the homo of C S. Hill, the brakeman who brought "them back to Portland. He lives at 526 Northrup street. The police have been notified and are looking for the boy. J WHEN HENEY GOMES Action on Land Frauds Awaits His Return, BRIEF TIME FOR GRAND- JURY Some of the Matters Which May Be "Considered by the Federal In quisitorial Board- at Its April Meeting. The people of Oregon haw a week to live, and then some, before they can begin to hear the land-fraud pot begin to boil, or at least before there la danger of the atew bubbling over the edges, to the fright or harm of any more innocent bystanders. Francis J. Honey Is busy, not at this time with the business of the Government, but with the piles and loads of accumu lated work which haVo been gathering since he camo back to Portland to take charge of the Government Investigations. When he went to Washington It was hla programme to return to Portland a few days before April 1, and take up once more the thread of the tangled skein where ho had left It after the Indictment of Representative Williamson on Febru ary 3. He was detained in Washington longer than bis schedule had provided, however, and now, returning at this late date to San Frtindsco, he finds that it will be Impossible to reach Portland aa soon as he had intended. In consequence of this and to accommodate the District At torney, the reconvention of the Federal grand jury has been postponed from tho 1st until the 4th of April, at which tlmo the Investigations will begin again and be carried through to a partial close. though not to the thorough ending that was at first Intended. At least this is as it appears at the present time. Vill Return Shortly. Mr. Heney will return to Portland on or about April 1, and will spend the interven ing time in familiarizing himself with all the details of what has been done by T. B. Neuhausen and his assistants during the absence of the chief in the Bast W. J. Burns, who is in this investigation the official shadow of Mr. Heney, working with him while he works and turning his attention to other matters while the DIs trlct Attorney attends to his private busi ness1, will appear in the city about the Earoc time Mr. Heney Is due here. The grand jury will have, on account of the later call, but five days In which to complete Its work. It will reassemble Tuesday, April 4, and will have to ad journ sine die Monday, April 10. Sunday, April 9, nothing can be done, and on the last day It will be practically impossible to take up any new matter or examine any new witnesses, as the greater part of the day will be needed in concluding the work of the long session. Into these five days then must be crowded the remainder of the work on hand. It is therefore thought that not much of new business can be taken up and that many of the things under con slderation will have to be left for a time at least Those New Indictments. When the grand Jury adjourned Mr. Heney announced in court that there had been indictments voted which had not been returned, owing to lack of time, and that these would be brought into court at the end of the session. What these in dlctments. are, whom they concern, are matters of Interest and mystery which the next two weeks may make clear. For a time great prominence was given to the case of C A. Smith, the Minneapolis tun ber dealer and millionaire, who Is sup posed to have made much of his money out of Illegal timber transactions In Ore gon land. Frederick Kribs was tho West ern representative of Mr. Smith, and 13 also supposed to be under the eye of the Government la spite of the prominence given the case, and la the face of tha well-founded rumors of Investigation, the Jury has up to this time taken no action. though the investigations are supposed to have been completed about the middle of December. It ia-thought, therefore, that this is one of the cases which is hanging fire and that an indictment will be re turned before April 10. Outside of that' case, however, there is doubt as to what tho jury will do. The Booth-Kelly case will not, in all probability, bo further Investigated at this time, owing to the crowded condition of tho calendar and the fact that there are so many witnesses to be examined who have not as yet been before the jury. The Booth-Kelly people are al leged to have .secured title to many thou sands of acres of timber by various means, one of which has been to' secure employes to file upon claims as directed by the company, under an agreement to transfer the land to the corporation aa soon as title was given by the Govern ment It may be that when the District Attorney. looks o'er the collected evidence he will decide -it to be- possible to consider the case, but this is not thought likely. What will be the result of the last five days of the grand jury session is specu lative, therefore. Time is pressing, and but few things new can oe handled, though there may bo many under con sideration that will be finished by the evenlrig of April 10. A home cure for Eye troubles.

PETITIONS HAVE BEEN -flCED Seekers After Offices of City Attor ney and Polic- Judge Are Numer . ous, and Race Promises to' Bs Very Lively. ' The job of Police judge, with Its an nual stipend of J1S0O a year and judicial glory. Is the object of endearing glances from a number of lawyers; likewise the job of City Attorney with Its annual sti pend of and two-year term of re nown. For those two places in the city govern ment a livelier scramble' Is In progress than for any other, not because it ap proaches the loftiness of the Mayoralty, but because the several candidates are not so shy of one another as those for the Mayoralty. Joseph A. Strowbrldge, Jr., Republican, yesterday filed notice of his primary pe- tltion with the City Auditor, and i3 the first to come out as a candidate. He Is a native of the city, educated in the public schools of Oregon, the University of Ore gon and the law department of that In stitution, and is a. son. of the late Joseph A. Strowbridge. Young Strowbrldge was deputy clerk la the Circuit CQurt three years under Dan J. Moore and has been practicing law six years. Will Enforce the Laws. "If I am nominated and elected," says Strowbrldge, In his primary petition, "I will during my term of office enforce the laws without regard to party, person or politics, In all cases being governed by the law and the evidence, rendering judg ment to the best of my ability." Other aspirants are T. B. McDevltt, Sr., A. B. Ferrera, Otto J. Kraemer, Claude Strohan. Fred Olson and Paul Deady. Harry Hogue, the present Judge, will' probably not run for tho place, and thus will open the road for the candidacy of Fred Olson, the clerk of his court. A. Walter Wolfe has been boomed for the place, but has not been trotted into the course. J. J. Fitzgerald, Deputy City Attorney, has announced that he will etay out. Taggart Is In Race. For City Attorney, E. T. Taggart is the first to fllf notice of his petition as a candidate for the Republican nomina tion. "If I am nominated and elected," saya he in his petition.
