Discovery of a case of smallpox last nixht prompted the city to take action, tnty lleatyi Officer Marcellus visited me tanernacie last nignt ana gave the i men the alternative of vaccination or ; withdrawal from the building. Aj number Of men submitted to vaccina- Hon, but led by some of the ringlead ers in their midst, the rest raised a strenvouM objection. ' Inasmuch as the precautionary meaR- j ure of vaccination was found to be impossible; Dr. Marcellus, accompanied by Drs. Wolfe, Beetnan and Ballard, went to .the tabernacle this morning prepared ' to fumigate the place thor oughly with formaldehyde, Tli ere was no disturbance, however, and the men took the order lp good grace, although many of thetn ex pressed disappointment and an opinion that the city should have quarantined them in the tabernacle rather than turn . them out in the street. H. J. Plummer. chairman of he rustling committee, which has charge of solicit ing provender among the merchants of the city, expressed the opinion that the city was only making matters worse, iand that if any of the men were Infected with smallpox they would carry- the disease to the rooming houses and hotels of the city. Dr. Marcellus, on the other hand, believes that if the men are made to circulate in the fresh air instead of being bunched together in the taber nacle, there will be little, if any, dan ger from the disease. The perfect organization of the men at the tabernacle has enabled them to feed about 1600 men each day, and a .large meal was in process of cooking when the health officer arrived. The men were compelled to leave their bed ding and personal belongings for fumi gation, but will be given an oppor tunity to get them back after the fumi gating process is over. Unless some other decision Is reached by the council the tabernacle will remain closed to the unemployed.

Brothers Put Property Into Company to Conceal Owhership, A scheme to defraud creditors out of $15,000 is charged against Henry A. Belding and Aretas W. Belding. broth ers, of the firm of Belding Brothers, jewelers. In an equity Suit filed in federal court yesterday by Horace S. Butterfield, trustee of the estate, through bis attorney, H. 8. McCutchan. The Belding Brothers store was located in the Multnomah hotel building: Henry A. Belding at one time was a city councilman. The firm went Into bank ruptcy a year ago. A real estate company, the Belding Investment company, was organized in May, 1911, the complaint charges, so that the Beldings. at that time finan cially embarrassed, could turn their real estate into it and still retain the property after they had been forced into bankruptcy as jewelers. According to Attorney McCutchan, the Beldings turned their property ov.ir to this investment company after Mrs. Lizzie Belding. wife of Henry A. Beld ing, had been given all but two shares of the stock. After the real estate had been dis posed of, the complaint alleges, the Belotngs deliberately premeditated bankruptcy by taking on $25,000 worth of jewelry stock for their store. When they were forced Into bankruptcy early in 1913, they offered their creditors 50 cents on the dollar, McCutchan says. At the bankruptcy hearing before Chester G. murphy, referee in bank ruptcy, McCutchan says the admission was forced from Mrs. Lizzie Belding that just before the company became insolvent diamonds valued at $1800 were turned over to her by the com pany. This was done in December, un. the complaint alleges, and In Jan uary, 1913, the bankruptcy proceed ings started. v lira. Lizzie Belding, the complaint says, has been a sile"ht member of the firm of Belding Brothers for a num ber of years. The suit asks for the setting aside of the deeds of transfer made by the Belolngs to their realty holding com pany and the returning of the dia monds as assets to be divided among the creditors. H. S. Butterfield, the trustee, is one of the small creditors of the firm. For Canalization of Rivers. Letters are being sent out today by Wallace R.
