I THE SUNDAY OREGONTAN, FORTLAyP. NOVEMBER 1910. 1 I i 6. DELEGATES MIKE PORTLAND CHOICE Y. M. C. A. Convention for 1913 May Be Held in Ore gon Metropolis. COMfJllTTEE HAS DECISION BrlarnlnK Loral Delegates to In ternational Gathering Rejoice In Adoption of Initiative and Rrfrrendam Procedure. Portland. Id all probability, will gat the next International convention of the Tone Men Christian Association, according to II. W. Stone, general sec retary of the local association, who returned yesterday - from Toronto. Canada, where a similar gathering rloed last Tuesday. Mr. Stone, who. with A. M. Grliley. physical director. J. C. Clark, boys' secretary, and I. B Khodrs. slate secretary, represented Portland, hurried home In order that ke might participate In the close of the Oregon "dry" campaign. The selection of the nest convention city was not made by the Toronto convention, but was left In the hands f the International committee of the T. if. C. A. The action of this com mittee, however, will be largely In fluenced by the attitude of the meet In a; Just held, and that was decidedly In favor of Portland, according to Mr. Mont. The conventions are held only once In three years, so It will probably be some time before the International committee announces Its decision. nclrjratr Want Fortland. "If the choice of a convention city had been left to the delegates. Portland would have won by an overwhelming; majority." said Mr. Stone. "The cities extending Invitations were Portland. I.OB Angeles. Columbus, Nashville and Pes Moines. It was the general senti ment, however, that the gathering should go to the Pacific Coast, so the race soon narrowed down to Portland and Los Angeles. "Delegates from the California city fitted up a booth at considerable ex pense, but It waa In an out-of-the-way place and a small proportion of those present saw It. Portland delegates worked earnestly for this city and dis tributed hundreds of buttons supplied by the Portland Commercial Club. These buttons bore the picture of a rose and the Inscription. 'Portland, the Rose City. 1913.' Fully 80 per cent of the delegates wore these Portland but tons, and this city stands a very good chance of getting the next convention, which Is one of the most Important and Influential held In this country." Initiative Role Included. Mr. Stone and other Pacific Coast delegates are also rejoicing In the passage of the Initiative and referen dum resolutions, submitted by the associations of the Far West. These resolutions place the ultimate control of all matters affecting the association In the hands of the membership at large. In the past the action of the conventions, and. In some Instances, of the International committee, has been flnsl. As a result the authority has been centralised In the International committee, which has headquarter In New York. The resolutions, as passed, make It possible for new legislation to be Initiated among the members at large, or any action of the conventions can be brought up for final action by a vote In which all T. M. C A- mem bers Join. Portland took the ad In presenting these resolutions, and was supported by the associations of Seattle. Tacoma. l.s Angeles. San Francisco and other Pailfic Coast cities. Headquarters were opened where caucuses and con ference were In progress day and night. "At first the Eastern delegates showed an Inclination to smile at our attempt to change the form of gov ernment of the association." said Mr. Stone, "believing our resolutions too radical to pass. They soon found the arguments for the resolutions hard to meet, as the new plan Is simply a step for more popular government. It waa not long until association delegates from New Tork. Chicago. Philadelphia and Buffalo fell Into line, and when the final vote was taken It was a landslide for the resolutions. They pxssed with hardly a dissenting vote. Many Countries Represented. "The convention was held In a hall seating about &000 and It was full at every session. There were delegates from all European nations and from the Orient. Much enthusiasm In T. M. C. A. work waa displayed and delegates from all parts of the world reported rapid growth. Toronto Is probably the strongest church center In No'th America and the whole city was greatly Interested In the conven tion. Toronto has Just raised 100.000 for three new T. M. C A. buildings." On the way to Toronto Mr. Stone participated at Buffalo In a conference attended by one preacher, two busi ness men and one T. M. C. A. officer from each of 0 large cities. This conference was held to organize the "Men and Religion Movement." closely modeled after the Laymen's Missionary Movement. Plans were perfected for the holding of a series of meetings, during the next two years. In the It cities represented. The objeet of these meetings will be to bring religion to men and boys and thereby strengthen the churches. All the leading Protest ant brotherhoods, the T. M. C. A. and the International Sunday School Asso ciation are combining In the move ment. It Is cot known at what time this meeting will be held In Portland. Each of the cities In which one of these gatherings Is held will pledge Itself to conduct similar meetings is 20 smaller cities. "Many of the men at this conference had Jut come from the dinner at the White House where pledges of $1,000. etO for T. M. C. A. work were an nounced. Naturally they were highly pleased because of the extension of association work that this money will make possible. "It may be Interesting to know that Just before we reached Toronto news boy were rolng through the train crying. "Hood River. Oregon, apples. A guarantee with every apple.' The East has got to recvrnUe that fruit from this slate Is -gfaout equal." WILHELM IS "SCOTCHMAN" Portland Man Returns to Home City In Full Highland Regalia. On the register of the Imperial Hotel appears the nam of Lawrence A. Wil lie! m. and a glance at the surname would Indicate that the writer was of German descent. However, to meet the young man one would never imagine that he was any other than a canny Scotchman, for "Larry" Is prone to deck himself out In Scotch plaids and even goes so far as to wear plaid neckties and handkerchiefs. In fact he aays the "hoot mon" thing almost to the limit. Getting down to cases, however, i - tbi..j n a.a born I and raised In this city.

Scotland, his friends are willing to forgive him. While touring the Northwest previous to his homecoming. "Larry" was Introduced In Seattle and Tacoma as a genuine Scotchman, capable of the bagpipes, kilts and other Scottish peculiarities, and he had considerable difficulty in evading the persistent efforts of vet eran Highlanders who tried to persuade him to "bring hl pipes and pla' a wee at an evening social. "Larry knows about as much about bagpipes as a Portuguese does about his King, so he has had considerable trouble dodging social engagements. His friends in Portland threaten to Introduce him to Jamie Murray. MAN SMSOi CAB 1USBAND GIVES WIFK STERX, PRACTICAL LXSSOX. J. D. Kenwortliy, Finding Automo bile VnBuarded at Curb, Moves It Reward Then Offered. No rem ard will be paid for the re covery of Mrs. J. D. Kenworthy's auto mobile, and there will be no prosecution in the case, although detectives have found the car and know who appropri ated It- Mrs Kenworthy has no desire to press the charges. It was J. D. Kenworthy himself, hus band of the owner, and sales manager for Wadhams Kerr Bros., who last Sunday took the car from its station by the curb at Second and Yamhill streets. He then headed it for a strange garage, where he left it for officers of the law to find. He took the automo bile to teach Mrs. Kenworthy a lesson. Mrs. Kenworthy had been warned fre quently to discontinue her practice of leaving her car with the spark plug in place and without precaution against Its being stolen. Happening alonir Similar afternoon while his wife was ! at luncheon, Mr. Kenworthy found the i car standing by the curb all ready for 1 . . . ' w u .1-1 I the nana or anyone wnu iuuiu and he seized the opportunity to give his wife a practical lesson. On the disappearance of the car a re ward was offered and the services of city detectives were enlisted. Captain Moore assigned Detectives Hellyer and Maloney to the case, and they made a thorough search for the supposed thief. Then the discovery of the car was re ported, bat the detectives still wished to run down one whom they thought to be a daring criminal. Their Investiga tions ran perilously close to the truth and Mr. Kenworthy finally told how It all happened. BRIDGE ISSCE EXPECTED TO BE IX BIG DEMAND, Prospective Buyers Already In Field. Council to Consider Offers at Wednesday Meeting. Bids for $500,000 of Broadway bridge bonds will be opened at 2 o'clock to morrow.

Day Company, a firm with offices In New York and Boston. It Is expected that by tomorrow morning the bids will be gin to come in rapidly. When City Auditor Barbur opened his mall yester day morning he found numerous In quiries concerning the bonds, although it would seem that at that late date all Intending buyers would have been pro vided with the information desired. The bids, when opened tomorrow, will be passed upon by the ways and means committee of the Council, and theje port of the committee will be consid ered by the Council Wednesday morn ing. The bonds are in denominations of $1000, pgyable In 10 years and drawing Interest at the rate of 4 per cent.

Each bid must he accompanied by a check on a Portland bank to the amount of S per cent of the face value of the bonds bid for. Portland banks have been active in endeavoring to find buyers for the bonds, and their efforts, together with the wide advertising the city has given them, has aroused much attention In the East.
