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."

Portland Man Returns to Home

On the register of the Imperial Hotel
appears the nam of Lawrence A. Wil

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.

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

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. City Auditor Farbur believes
that the bids will prove that the bonds
are In big demand.
The first of the prospective bond buy
ers appeared Friday at the office of the
City Auditor, and he was followed yes
terday by George P. Fogg, of R. Q. 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.
The advertisements concerning the
sale say that the bids must be uncon
ditional, except a to legality of the is
sue. 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.
