COURT .DENIES A NON-SUIT Welsh Damage Case Must Go to the ' Federal Jury. Judge ' Wolverton, yesterday. In the United States Circuit Court denied" the application for a non suit in the case of the next friend of . Michael J. Welsh against the Barber Asphalt Paving Com pany. A brother of Welsh, who was killed- at the Barber plant is suing to re-' cover J7500 damages for his death and the case is 'being stubbornly fought by Judge W- D. Penton. for the paving company and Henry E. McGinn for the plaintiff. Judge Fenton quoted many authorities and argued one whola afternoon in sup port of his application for non suit. Judge Wolverton held that the prepon derance of Federal. Court decisions favored the contention of the corporation and that the Oregon statute under which the action was brought did not specifically repeal the "assumption of risk." The court refused to grant the : non suit on the ground that a question of fact was involved, which must be determined the Jury.

It will be the Rock Island. Within the past month the Rock Island Club has been Bold for $25,000 to a number of prominent Portland business and pro fessional men and it is their intention to make the club of the same high standard as the Arlington Club and the University Club. The men who have purchased the club from its former incorporators have in turn incorpo rated for J30.000 and will limit the membership to 300. Each member by paying J100 becomes a stockholder in the club and by this method, the new incorporators believe that the club, with the improvements contemplated, will be the best-equipped in 'the coun try. Nature designed Rock Island for a country club, and there is no prettier spot in the whole of the Pacific North west than this little isiu.ua that sits serene within sixty yards of the east bank of the Willamette River. Ever since Portland was named. Rock Island lias been one of the pleasure spots for the tired city folk who loved the water. At one time It could be reached only by -water, but within the past few years, since the Kock Island Club was organ ized by A. Reffllng and several others a pontoon bridge has been built from the east bank. Boat landings were built and the island became the home of many people who spend their Sum mers in house-boats. This same plan will be carried out by the new officers, and In addition they will build a garage for automobiles and a stable for horses and carriages. For the present these new additions will be located on - the cast bank.' but it is the hope of the tifficers that next year they will have a ferry, large enough to carry vehicles, running: from the west bank of the river. The officers of the new Rock Island j Club, who were ejected at a recent meet ing are: President. Chester G. Mur phy; vice-president, Gay Lombard; treasurer, W. H. Chapin; secretary, James R. McCraken. The other mem bers of the board are v. H. Warrens, Walter B. Honeyman and A. Reffllnr. Already the club has a membership of over . loo, and more than enough have pledged to join the club to make up the necessary 300. All the members who "have houseboats will be urged to moor their boats at the island, and next year, unless plans miscarry, a number of cottages will dot the island and will be rented to mem bers desiring- to live on the island with their families. The opening for members and Invited guests has been set for Saturday night. May 9. This is the night of the full moon, and the board of directors has chartered one of the large river steamers for the occasion, and the trip by water to and from the island will add to the pleas ure of the opening of the club. After a good deal of persuasion, the board of directors finally prevailed upon L. El Martinei to become the club stew ard. . Martinez Is one of- the best known stewards on the Coast, having been for a long time connected with the Arlington Club and at the Portland Hotel. He will have full charge of the club, and those who know Martinez know that from an epicurean standpoint the club. will be the best. President Murphy and the house com mittee, composed of J. R. McCtaken, H. E. Judge and Will A. Knight, have plans under way for taking part in the river carnival during the Rose Festival. Just what part the Rock Island Club members will take In the carnival has not been de cided upon, but In addition to being beau tiful their float will be unique. A splen did electric display will be one of the features. A partial list of the membership of the new club follows: . . . T. B. nooley R. Smith Bert &' Espy c. T. Whitney : ' , W. D. McNary George D.
