North Haven People Certain That School Was. Set
 on Fire.

A preliminary investigation was made yesterday into the case of the burning of the Clintonville school Wednesday afternoon and last night one of the North Haven residents liv- ine near the school stated that the suspicion that the school was set afre had been practically verified
 Pending further developments the authorities carrying on the investiga- ton stated that they did. not wish to say what had been found in the ruins to confirm the suspicion They stated, however, that in the coming few days they hoped to be able to make public the findings in the case.
 The eighteen children who attended the school are having a brief vacation, but. will commence Monday to have their lessons in the Clintonville chapel. An appropriation for the rebuilding of the school wtl probably be asked with in few weeks.

ALPHA CLUE MUSICALE.
Takes Place at Lowell House Assembly
 Room Tonight.

The Alpha club, which has been re- gently formed at Lowell House for young men. win give q musical pro- gram Friday evening at o'clock in the Lowell House assembly room. The program will be followed by a social hour. This meeting will be open to the public.
 The organization of the young mems and bcys clubs is new departure in the work of Lowell House. As in the initiation of all such clubs con- siderable expense is always attached to their organization which new club cannot always meet. They need the liberal encouragement of the public un- til they have established themselves on a working basis.
 The Alphas are fitting up a room which win be an acceptable place for them to pass an evening, One of the things most desired for the club room lis pool table, but the club is not able to purchase it. And it was thought that this notice might lead to the dis covery of one stored away in some att tic or one not in use that might be loaned to the club. Or that we might obtaine the assistance of some one in- terested in boys clubs,

MRS. K1nBR1DcE ooRREors.
States She Did Not Receive Property
 as Request.

Correction is made of statement made yesterday morning in connection with an article concerning the plac- ing of certain attachments by work men on property in Crown street owned by Mrs. KAlbridge Mrs. Kilbridge states that the property was not be- queathed to her by man for whom she acted as housekeeper, but that she purchased the same herself from Mrs. Harriet A. Curtiss. of Woodbury, and furthermore that she has never acted as housekeeper at all, The statement was made on information which Mrs. Kilbridge states was incorrect.
 In regard to the attachments Mrs. Kilbridge stated last evening that the writs were served on her yesterday She states that she hired the firm of Arnold Davis & Co., to undertake the work of redecorating and painting her house for her She says that she had the money ready to pay to the repre- sentative of the firm, but before it was paid lien was placed upon it in be- half Of the workrnen, and instead of paying it to tie firm 1t was then paid to a lawyer for the men in the case, as the lien prevented payment to the firm.
 It then appears, according to Mrs Kilbridge's story, that the men did not receive their money and have now served attachments on her, claiming that she is liable for their payment. She holds that she has paid the money once and that she is not liable for the |, payment of the men, which is a matter for the courts to determine.

HAVE GOOD PROFIT.
Investors in New York, New Haven
 and Hartford Company Rights.

Investors who availed themselves last week of the opportunity to pur- chase subscription rights on the New York, New Haven and Hartford per cent. convertible dehentures already have substantial profit During the recent market strength the rights have advanced from to Is. and It is altogether probable that, in view of the increasing interest in the new bonds, a still further advance will be recorded t.
 With the rights selling at ?, the bonds cost 1O6 yielding approximately 5.62 per cent. with the rights at 3 IS the bonds cost about 109 3-S yielding |5:42 per cent, The latter figure is within S-4 of point of the high price reached since the announcement of the issue was first made.
 The rights went still higher yes terday selling at 3 7-S and 4, and clos ing at 4. At the latter prices the yield is of courst still better than the above figures show.

MERCHANTS
WIN OVER
Y. NJ. 6, A.

There was a large crowd present
last evening on the Willamette field
to witness the game of baseball be-
tween the Merchants and the Y. M.
IC. A.
Rag chewing over decisions and
who should be allowed to play caused
the spectators to lose interest In the
contest, many leaving the grounds
before the game had finished.
The fact that Jerman and Forbes
both appeared In the Y. NJ. C. A.
lineup was the cause of the first out
break of wrangllng, and delayed the
game, so that II was impossible to
play the seven innings, which had
been planned. Another delay was
caused in the third inning when the
Merchants left the field, owing to an
alleged faulty decision of the umpire
These disagreements were very
unfortunate, as this was a pay game,
and the slowness OF the contest made
II unpleasant for the spectators. The
contest resulted in a score of to 3
In favor of the Merchants.
The Merchants and Woolen Mills
teams will cross bats tomorrow ev-
ening.

Team From Company N viii Enter
the Shooting Contest

The representatives who have been
selected to represent Company M, OF
Salem, will leave tonight for Rose
burg, where they will take part in
the shoot which will be held on the
rifle range at that place. The con-
test will begin Saturday morning at
s o'clock, and will be participated
in by 21 teams.
Company d, First Separate regi-
ment, of Roseburg; Company M,
Third infantry, of Salem, and Com
pany X, of Portland, are the three
teams considered to be in the lead,
and an interesting contest Is antici-
pated. The Roseburg team is said
to be very strong, and from the fact
that the shoot will be on their own
range will give them some advantage
Several other of the teams have been
putting up good practice, and should
the Roseburg boys win the trophy
they will probably have to break
their former records.
Company NJ Is represented by Ser
.geant Ralph White (captain), Ser
geant U. S. Rider, Corporal f. II.
