THAT residents of Portland re be
coming more and more acquainted
with the inestimable value of the
night school connected with the T. M.
C. A. of this city, is evidenced oy
the Increasing attendance at every term.
The school is popularly known as the
"Employed Man's College." and was or
ganised solely to offer- most thorough
and practical Instruction to assist the
young man in ascertaining what trade or
vocation he is fitted for in life, and also
to be a help to the man In the business
In which he is employed. Under the in
dividual Instruction of an expert and
practical teacher, the student may take
any one class or any number of classes
he desires; may take up his subject at
any point from which the most benefit
will be derived, and may begin at any
time he chooses.
The night school was Inaugurated 11
years ago. and since that time over 5000
men. between the ages of 16 and 60 have
taken advantage of the practical educa
tional work. As before stated, the num
ber of students Is yearly growing, last
season there being 735 men enrolled, and
the prospects for this season's attendance
being considerably larger. Manual train
ing was Introduced into the school in,
1901. More and different branches
have been added from time to time.
Laboratories have been Installed for as
saying, chemistry and electricity, and
shop classes In plumbing, carpentry and
power motors have been instituted.
Lumbering and forestry, real estate law,
surveying and mapping. telegraphy,
train dispatching, modern languages,
taught by conversational methods, sales
manship and show-card writing may be
mentioned among the many classes which
have been formed. From time to time
as the occasion arises others will be or
ganised. Toung men by the hundreds
have been fitted for special work in these
lines, and have, been given an especial
thoroughness and efficiency In the line
which they pursue in their Instructions.
The most marked development has been
along these Industrial lines, although one
branch of the English classes is worthy
of especial mention. It is that which is 1
gopularlj; known, as the "Map of Europe
class." On an average of from 60 to 100
men. representatives of nearly every na
tionality of Europe, congregate nightly
to study the English language. Those
who have practically no knowledge of our
tongue make up the membership or one
class, and those using English imperfect
ly, both in speaking and writing, seek
perfection in the other. Mere are garn
ered together'Poles, Italians.' Finns. Hun
garians, Swedes, Danes. Russians, etc.
The amount of good accomplished by
this class can readily be imagined.
Instructors Are Experts. '
It has been the aim of the Association
to provide their corps of instructors from
those who are actively engaged during
the day in the occupation in which they
give instruction during the evening. In
this way It has been ascertained that the
most practical results have been ob
tained. So It is that in the plumbing
course the instructor was city plumbing
inspector of Portland for years, and Is
now the head of a large plumbing firm;
the teaoher of carpentry is foreman for a
contracting firm: the general manager
of a lumber agency Is the Instructor of
the lumbering and forestry class. And
so it goes throughout the entire, list; the
teachers are chosen with a view to giv
ing thoroughly practical instruction of
the most-up-to-date methods. Thirty
four of these specialists are now em
ployed for the evening class work, and
three cultured and intelligent foreigners
conduct a day school of modern- lan
guages, using conversational methods In
their instructions. Instructors for the
ooming season have Just been appointed.
The school la under the direction of H A
Kees. and embraces the following teach
ing talent: Merwln Pugh. of the City
Engineer's office, bookkeeping and cor
respondence; Hopkins Jenkins, of the
city schools, algebra; F. E. Lawrence,

mentary electricity; Mrs. Ivan S. Rhodes,
shorthand and typewriting.
The fees are merely nominal, and seem
ridiculously, low. They range from J1.60
to S10 per term of three months, with the
exception of some of the .highly technical
subjects, requiring an additional ex
penditure for instruction and material.
To keep the fees within the easy reach,
of all la the purpose of the school.

PROBE AT LOS ANGELES
Grand . Jury TCUI Investigate County
Officers.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19. According to
a morning paper, the county grand jury
which convenes today will begin a rigor
ous Investigation that may be productive'
of startling results, into, four departments
or- the county and -city government the
Sheriffs office, board of supervisors, po
lice) department and . the police commis
sion. It la claimed much evidence) of a con
vincing nature is ready for presentation
to the grand Jury. The inquiry Into the
Sheriff's office Is said to have to do with
the charge for the feeding of county and
Federal prisoners and to charges for mile
age and other items in expense accounts
or deputies. The Federal authorities,
through. District Attorney Oscar Lawlor,
recently made a thorough Investigation of
the Sheriff's office In the matter of the
care of Federal prisoners, and the report
was forwarded to Attocney-Oeneral Bona
parte. It is not known what result will
come of that.
The Investigation Into the records of tha
board of supervisors, it is stated, will also
have to do with expense accounts of sev
erai members of the board.
The charges agalsst the police depart
ment ana tne ponce commission have not
been disclosed In detail, but accusations
of paid protection for certain violators of
the law are said to be at the bottom. -

Heavy Selling; of Beading; and Har

NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Prices on the
Stock Exehange-showed extreme weak
ness In the recession which marked to
day's trading. The opening had been
fairly firm, but before the end of ths
first hour all gains were wiped out,
and in the final half, hour a heavy sail
ing movement ' caused losses of two
points or more in all the active issues.
There was heavy selling of Reading,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,
chiefly from traders who have been on
the bear side of tha market the last
few days. StlU there was an utter ab
sence of definite news to account for
the break, but in. market circles it was.
beUeved that the slump might be at
tributed to political conditions. Tlje
market was showing only slight re
covery at the closa. '
