Mc Mahon, an attorney, who charges that he appeared as counsel for Carl Wyberg, an employe of the defendant company, who sued for $18,000 for personal Injuries. It is alleged that a settlement was arranged whereby the defendant corporation was to pay $5000 cash and a ticket to Copenhagen, Denmark, to Wyberg. Later, it is stated, the attorney was left out of the negotiations and a set tlement effected with Wyberg by the payment of $2000 and transportation to his native land. It is set out that the plaintiff thus was defrauded of his $0 per cent fee of all damages re ceived, which had been agreed upon and he now finds himself damaged to the amount naked for In his suit.

Pope, Daugh ter of Senator Ankeny, Makes Bandages in Paris. AMERICANS ARE AGITATED Mrs. Harriet McArthur, of Portland, Tells of Scene in London Cathe dral Where King and Queen Knelt in Prayer. Vivid descriptions of war scenes in Paris are contained In letters just re ceived by Senator and Mrs. Levi An keny, of Walla Walla, from their daugh ter, Mrs. Francis H. Pope, whose hus band, Captain Friends H. Pope, of the United States Army, Is stationed in the French capital. These letters are the first that the Ankenys have received from their daughter since hostilities broke out, and they relieved materially the feeling of anxiety felt by Mrs. An keny for her daughter and son-in-law, and their 4-year-old daughter, Mary. who is with them in Paris. Mrs. Pope s letter was dated August 9, and in part is: "We are just as safe as can be. Madame has taken every care to have supplies hidden in the house to last 15 days in case of need. Paris is little changed, only the streets are quiet and few people are about. I am sewing all day, making slings and bandages for the hospitals. They make them out of heavy linen, nd it is good to have something to Jo and not think about what is happening every minute. Fran cis is working hard and all are trying to help. We just had a letter from Lula Drumheller, and she Is safe." far Service Slow. Americans in Paris are greatly agi tated, according to Captain Pope, who described conditions as follows: "It Is a little Inconvenient getting around, as the streetcar service is very much curtailed and there are not many taxis running. All the good horses have been taken for the army. Paris is very quiet and has rather a Sunday appearance. "All the peoplevare confident of suc cess, but are very quiet and nearly all with sad faces. No celebrations nor any bragging that I have heard. The loudest people are the American tour ists and others that are stranded here. They ae kicking about the personal inconvenience caused by the war. Portland Woman Writes. Mrs. Harriet McArthur, of Portland, who is Mrs. Ankeny's sister, and who is now in London, wrote Mrs. Ankeny on August 13: "It seems odd that Harriet should be sewing for soldiers half a century after you and 1 were working for them. "There are crowds of Americans here, but they are getting off, and good committees are looking after them. We see hundreds of soldiers in woolen khaki, and they look like our own troops, excepting they wear flat-top caps instead of campaign hats. We saw two large columns today, and some are so young. "We went to St. Paul's Cathedral Sunday and then drove to Buckingham Palace, where the King, Queen, Prince of Wales and his sister were out see ing the troops. The Queen was simply dressed in a very plain light tan suit, rather long basque, or tight-fitting coat, but not a tight skirt, and red hat. The Princess had a plain blue dress. There were thousands of people out. There are great beds of scarlet geraniums In the square near the pal ace. Wre went to old Canterbury one day and saw hundreds of troops. We came back in the evening, two hours by train, through the beautiful Kentish country, with a 'hopvine incense,' where Dickens lived." Cable advices from Miss Genevieve Thompson indicate that she and Mrs. McArthur will sail for New York about October 1. Ministers to Meet September 7. On Monday, September 7, will be held the first meeting of the Portland Ministerial Association for the season of 1914-15. No set programme has been arranged and the meeting will be de voted to discussion of plans for the season, election of new members and routine matters.

BIG PAYMENTS EXPECTED Street Railway Company to Tay $250,000 in Taxes Tomorrow. Although there remains about $1,000, 000 unpaid of the second half tax pay ments now due, on which penalty will be charged after tomorrow, it is ex pected this amount will be reduced to a comparatively small sum by the time the office is closed tomorrow night For the convenience of the public clerks will be on duty to receive payments up to 9 P. M. Big Portland corporations that an nually pay very large taxes wait until the last day before paying in order to save the interest on their money. The Portland Railway. Light & Power Com panv. for example, will pay approx lmately $250,000 in taxes tomorrow, and there will be other large payments that will cut the outstanding amount down very much. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway is expected to pay something like $3o,000 tomorrow, and large estates In the county will, as usual, pay the last day.. During the past week there has been a heavy daily payment at the tax department wickets. and it now appears there will not be an unusually large delinquent list. DEBATE CHALLENGE TAKEN F. M.

ARMY LARGEST YET Saturday's Jaunters to Hop yards Total 3000. HELP PLENTIFUL THIS YEAR Oregon Electric Handles Immense Throng of 1500, Spcclul Train Carrying 40 0 rickers to Lives ley No More Aid Needed. The army of pickers has been moving on the hop yards in detachments all the week, but the largest force set out yesterday. Fully 3000 men, women and children left this city to secure employment at hop picking. The move ment will continue throughout the coming week, but by Wednesday the bulk of the harvesters will be at work. Help Is plentiful this year, and sev eral of the offices where pickets were engaged posted notices two weeks ago that no more were wanted. The largest crowd left the city on the Oregon Electric, nearly 1500 pas sengers being handled. A special train carried 400 pickers to Livesley, in Marion County, and the regular train was made up of three sections, with pickers for the yards at various points along the line. The Southern Pacific sent out a spe cial with 150 Japanese bound for a large Independence yard. On Monday another special will carry 400 pickers to Brooks, and a special from Lebanon will move 300 to the Wlgrich yard, near Independence. On Tuesday morn lag the main force for the big Wlgrich ranch, numbering 500, will leave Port land by the Southern Tactile. The boats also had their shure of the business. The Oregona and the Grahamona, of the Oregon City trans portation line, carried 600 pickers to up-river points and had to turn many away for lack of accommodations.

VISITORS ARE CARED FOR Even Walter llefuse Tip Iron' Americans Hecano The) himn of Money Shortage long, i'ontlj Struggle Is Expected. Miss Ruth Catlin. of 161 North Twenty-third street. Is one of many Portland people who have returned from Europe since the declaration of war. For more Umn two months sh had been staying with English people, most of the time In London, where she was the guest of one of the Cabinet member. Unlike the majority of trvelr re turned. Miss Catlin would say nothing of any personal Inconveniences that she may have experienced. To her the astonishing thing was the manner In which the British people, high and low. received the newt of the war and gov erned their actions after the declara tion. She said: "They show, In spite of the enormoui weight of pernon.1 matters, in spit of the anxiety of suspense, a calm dig nity that Is overwhelmingly splendid. At no time did they allow themselves to forget the little courtesies to strangers; in fact the. grim rpecter of war rather served to make them even more remindful. Tip Are llrfused. "It was noticeable among the wall ers and the little street urchins who earn .1 penny here and there by carrs' Ing one's bags. Many of them, even knowing that money, probably, would to them be very precious before the war was over, refused to take a tip from Amerlcun visitors because they knew of our difficulty In getting ex press orders cashed. "In the streets, coincident with the declaration of war, bright-eyed dimin utive little boys wero taking the place of men. Boys wero cleaning the treets. acting In the shops and stores and filling the place of their elder in a thousand and one way. "Nobody seemed anxious to have thl war. They were very anxious for the Cabinet and the wirfou ministers to do mil In their power to keep peace. But when war M declared and when It was shown once and for all tlit the war was forced on England, that It was not of their choice but for the defense of their honor, then they calm ly and without any expression except a dignified resentment ut Germany ac cepted the state of affairs as one of necessity and quietly set about their preparations. Crowd MMI 1 ,,,1. .... "I waa In London the night war wii declared, dining next door to the Jer man embassy. A crowd was massed about the house, composed chiefly of the better class of working people, end there wa a continuous, a never-ending angry snarl going up from the crowd. "Rut there was no stone-throwing, no physical demonstration. That the Am bassador feared such an outburst I shown by the fact that ho took refuge In the garden next door. HI trunk had all been packed and he wa ready to leave at any moment. "And when war was declared si mid night there wa a scene that 11" one could forget. Thousand of people pnr aded the streets, and all through the night there was a dull, quiet cheering, the cheering of a united nation show ing Its approval of the acts of Its min isters. "The next day was a bank ln.lidsy. But Instead of a deserted London, the city was tilled with a throng of people invariably on the move. Men irae and (ulr(. "The. auspense whs more than even llrltlHh reserves could control lo the full. Men would go Into their houses, but in a short w hile they would come out again and walk up and down tho street, always quiet, grave and re strained, realizing to the full the eri ousness of the situation. "Their minds are made up to a long cnmpalgn, witli tho loss of relations that must. In the end, he appalling. But there Is no evidence of sorrow, no evi dence of excited or high-strung nerves: nothing but a calm dignity coupled wtlh a determination to carry on a long and costly war. with privation at home and bloodshed abroad. Great Britain never seemed to me no gnat and so conscious of her greatness u on the night that war was declared." Miss Catlin returned vory shortly after the declaration of war In co Junction with a number of other Ameri can aboard the Philadelphia.
