Jlcllonagle, Insurance Man,
W Being Brought Back

Fromlnent PoAland business, men will
be mentioned in the forthcoming- trlul
of C. A. McMonagle. the Portland In
surance man arrested IB ho Angeles
yesterday, on a charge of absconding
with the 81.000 which Clinton A.; wood,
recently A real estate broker In North
Bend, Oregon, put up for 109 shares of
' stock In, the Western Life Underwrit
er, a local company of which McMona
gle is president. . L
" Revealed by his debut tnto police
circles is the story of a mans avari
cious greed for money. In the pursuit
of which even family ties were swept
aside: for linked with Wood s loss Is
the heart-broken mother's story a pa

Wood Bays Stock.
According to the story told bV C. A.
" Wood h came to Portland from
' Coos Bar last November In search of
an investment and became acquainted
with McMonagle and subsequently took
cut 1,000 worth of shares In the let
ter's Insurance company, the Western

recently organised. ?
About two years ago the Conservative
Mutual Life ' Insurance company was
organised by Portland men. When Mc
Monagle came along he proposed that a
new company be organised and stock
sold. . His ofer was accepted. Hhe created-
the Western Underwriters. The
company haa ooen in existence
short time when Wood arrived. . Aa it
already had an annual premium renewal
Income of $22,000 Wood saw the oppor
tunity and leaped at the chance to

By bis contract with McMonagle he
was to receive per cent or ini pre
mium Income of the Conservative Mu
tual Life, or the Western Underwriters,
as the two are pracucauy one iicru.
wn icwkn am. after receiving Wood's
check, McMonagle left suddenly, Wood's
first intimation being when his wife
. earns into the or no on, morning ana
said that her husband had gone to San
Francisco to sell' stock. Several days
elapsed, with do word from McMonsgle,
and Wood, becoming suspicious, swore
out a warrant for his arrest last Sat
urday. , - i ...... 'j... . '
McMonsgle is now being brought back
from Ix)8 Angeles. His wife left for
that city last Saturday. Her husband
' was arrested while awaiting her arrival
st the station. - - -
MoMonagle's aged mother states that
slnee she has received her husband's
Insursnce money, the son has on various
pretexts secured from her over (2,000.

Prirate Secretary Opens Taft
Headquarters " Ahead of ?
Mkey and ' Beach; i
J , Senator Fulton has; put; the kibosh
on the, Taf t headquarters Idea of Fred
Mulkey and IB. C. Beach by opening a
Taf t headquarters of bis own In the
Imperial hotel, thns coming; in ahead
ut tha Mulkey plan and biasing the
trail for all good Taf t men and dels-
gates to the state convention, to rooms
604 and (05. where C. W. Halderman,
private secretary of Senator Fulton,
win point tnem to : the .straight and
narrow way. Senator Mulkey and tit.
Beach are . disgruntled over the turn
artairs nave taicen and tnere is a pos
sibility of them taking their headquar
ters to some other part of town.
When It became known to the Fulton
men that Mulkey and Beach wers to
open - headquarters at the Imperial May
Fulton. Yesterday afternoon a couDle
or senator fuiton s rrienas appeared at
me impervu ana engaged two rooms,
giving It out that Senator Fulton want
ed to open Taft headquarters and at tho
same time do a little tor the cause of
li. M. Cake,
No more had the rooms been engaged
than the Uulkey-Beach combination
hove in view asking that they be given
rooms aionee iot tneir Mart neaaquar
ters. They could not be accommodated
immediately and left, it now being
supposed that they will , go to some
other bulldioa.
Aside from some few scattering shots
now ana tnen tnere is no cnange in xne
political situation. Last night the South
Portland Republican club, hurled a lit
tle band-grenade into the Cake camp in
the shape of an Indorsement of W. H.
Taft W. Pi 1.1111s, president of the
club, had desired to be sent to the state
convention but was not named by the
Cake organisation when the list was
made up. For this the leaders of the
South Portland club derided to admin
ister a slap at W. M. Cake, chairman of
the state committee, and H. M." Cake,
senatorial candidate. Accordingly the
Taft- resolution was passed last night
which comes as, an indication that Cake
does not have control of the club and
will not be given its support.
The Bourne forces and the Fulton
men are resting on their arms. Insofar
as the senatorial question is concerned,
and will continue to do so until sfter
the convention of May 14. Then, which
ever way the pendulum swings, the Cake
forces will get the knife. If an unln
strueted delegation is sent to the na
tional convention fuitons friends, and
erhaps the small coterie of Mulkey and
leach, will hurl their javelins into the
Cake camp, crying, that the state chair
man and the senatorial candidate could
have controller! the situation, had thev
so desired.- Ia on the other hand a Taft
delegation Is .sent.- as seems probable
now, courae ana nis roiiowers will leap
ninth in their wrath and llsht on Mr. I
Cake. According to the story, John C.
Young has already passed out word that
unless Bourne leads an unlstructed del- j
egatlon cake, will have to bear the
wet .t of Senator Bourne's hand. . j
Up at the headauarters and- about
those places where politicians rongre-
f;ate there is Just now a great calm. It
s, however, too calm.- Officially eVery
on says there is nothing doing but eon-
xiaencianv tne same men ten you that
there will be all kinds of sore lunt
after the state convention. Each blames
the other, of course, and says the op
posite faction is . wrecking the Repub
lican party. The fact remains, how
ever, that all Of them have keen knives
resdy to use In case the victory on
May 14 goes against them.
