NO ACTION ON SALARIES iPoard of Education Takes Fire Mar shal Roberts to Task for Fro wst Against Heating Plant at Woodlawn. By unanimous vote of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, high school branches were aded to the course of Instruction In the night schools, and the corns of Instructors was increased from nine to IX The additions to the course and to the number of instructors wis In response to a demand made to rity Superintendent of Schools Rlgler and by him presented to the Board. Thirty one applicants for higher education had asked that they be (riven an opportunity to study alitebra and classic ErRllsh. That would mean a rapid extension of the night school system, would It not?" asked Director Beach w hen he heard the application. But the city Is extending rapidly." remarked Chairman Wittenberg. -It Is done In all cities of the sire of Portland." explained ilr. Rigler. Of EDO pupils In the night schools In Seattle last year a great many were doing high school work." Night Enrollment Is 270. Mr. Klgler said there were 270 pupils In the night schools and the number of Instructors only nine. One of the In structors, Mr. Wiley, was acting as a specialist In conversational English, and his time was fully occupied. Three more teachers were needed besides an Instruc tor In the higher branches. Mr. Hayes, of the High School corps, would teach these branches. The Board anthorlzed the Superintendent to make the appoint ments. Fire Marshal Roberts presented a com plaint against the condition and the heat ing equipment of the old Woodlawn school. Some of the stoves. Mr. Roberts said, were cracked and had to be held together with wires. The physical condi tion of the building was such, so he had been told, that when the children were taking exercises the structure swayed and a stove or two toppled over. "Another blast from Roberts." was the acknowledgment Mr. Wittenberg gave to the communication. Has Mr. Roberts visited the building lately T' Inquired Mr. Rigler In surprise. Did Not Visit Woodlawn. . "I don"t think he has," answered the chairman. "He says he has only been told of what he reports. I shall refer the matter to the superintendent of build ings with Instructions to see Roberts and tell him to make a personal investiga tion before he reports next time." Director Flelschner, of the finance com mittee, to which committee the question of Increasing teachers' salaries had been referred, asked and was granted farther time In which to report. Mr. Flelschner Intended to bring up the mntter yester dav, but Director Campbell is out of the city and he believed no action should be taken until Mr. Campbell's return. The salary of Robert Krohn, physical director of the schools, was Increased from 14B0 to 11600. Mr. Krohn asked for liwi) a year. The Issuance of bonds for construction of the Alblna High School was postponed on account of the suit which Klaber'& Klaber. architects, began against the dis trict for fees for a design furnished for the school. The Judiciary committee, con sisting of Messrs. Beach and Campbell, was instructed to retain an attorney to defend the district in this suit. New Teachers Are Engaged. Miss Gertrude Camp, of Lansing. Wis., and Miss Essie Patten, of Los Angeles, were engaged as teachers to fill vacancies caused by the resignations of Miss L. Kays and Miss N'ellie Tuttle. Only two bids for school furniture were received. One was from the Northwest School Furniture Company at from CS3 to $3-3. to be Installed as the district needs them, snd the other from A. A. Andrews & Co.. of Tacoma, from C SO to 13.34. The bids were referred to the supply committee.

At an open meeting of delegates from the East Side push cluubs last night In the Sargent Hotel, Grand and Hawthorne avenues, plana -were adopt ed for a campaign to secure the build ing of a new Court House at some point on the East Side. Two prelim inary meetings of the presidents of the clubs had been held to discuss the feasibility of the undertaking, and a committee composed of W. L. Boise, M. G. Munly, A. G. Rushlight and L. C Rice was appointed to report on a plan. This committee reported tnrougn air. Boise. It recommended that between 13500 and $5000 be raised to defray expenses of the movement, that offices be se cured for two or three months and public meetings be held in all portions of the county, starting at Sellwood and including Greshahm, Troutdale, Fair view and St. John. The committee also recommended that on active steps be taken until after the result of the Presidential election Is known. When headquarters have ben secured a schedule of public meetings and speak ers will be announced. The object of the agitation will be to shohw the County Judge and Commts-. sloners that the people of the East Side want the new Court House erected on the East Side when it Is rebuilt. W. L. Boise said that the location of the Court House was not a matter to be referred to a vote of the people, but was in the power of the County Com missioners, as it was a Judicial act. The meeting decided that no club should advocate or indorse any partic ular location. The matter of raising the money was referred to W. L. Boise, who aaid that there would be no trou ble in securing whatever was needed to meet expenses, and that he would undertake to get the money. BAR URGES NEED OF MORE JUDGES Association Asks Legislature to Provide Six for Cir cuit Court. CASES SET FAR AHEAD Lawyers Declare That Long Post ponement of Trials Works Unjust Hardship on Litigants and Asks tor Relief. The Multnomah Bar Association, at its meeting at the Courthouse last night, unanimously adopted a resolution rec that the number of Circuit Judges be Increased from four to six. Dan J. Malarkey offered the resolution early In the meeting, the motion to adopt it being seconded by A. E. Clark. In the discussion that followed not one worse. We are glad our city is growing so rapidly, and if it were an of the cltys growth we might be able, for a time, to put up with the setting of cases a year or two In the future. But as the matter stands, unless we get relief next January, when the Legislature meets, we shall obtain no relief until 1911. We ought to have at least six Judges in this county. "I em frank to admit tha If the Judges came out and said that they did not need assistance, a measure of the character proposed would gat a 'black eye. But to ask for an Increase, places them in a deli cate position. If the request from the lawyers Is to be regarded with suspicion, that suspicion would be Increased if the request came from the Judges. But It is not a question of politics, gentlemen, it is a question of our clients obtaining Jus tice, and obtaining it speedily. We are aware of the situation, and we ought to take the initiative In the matter. There should be no trouble In carrying such leg islation." Statistics Will Be Prepared. Attorney Fowler suggested that a committee from the Multnomah Bar Association wait upon the Oregon Bar Association, and obtain its Indorsement of the proposition, but Mr. Clark op posed this, saying that it is purely a local matter. Mr. Malarkey also held to this view. Mr. Clark suggested that statistics showing the amount of work done by Judges in other Coast cities be presented to the Multnomah dele gation, with the amount of work done the past year by the Multnomah Cir cuit Judges. A detailed statement of this kind, he said, would carry weight. During the course of the discussion It was stated that Seattle has six Jud ges, and a seventh who devotes more than half his time to Seattle cases. San Francisco has 12. besides four in the police court. ' Statistics are to be obtained by the committee of five, to DECIDE TO REMAIN Townsend and Muller Will Not Leave Board of Trade. WORK WILL BE CONTINUED ROYAL COUPLE WHOSE ENGAGEMENT IS SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED ft "' "T- ?''- Jvci l ' - s Coupt TUrin- PARIS Oct 2T. A dispatch to the Petit Journal from Rome says that the ewietneni of Prince 'Victor Emmanuel. Count of Turin, to Princess Patrlc daughter of the Duke of Connaught. is soon to be announced. Directors Vote TT-nanlmongly Xot to Accept Resignations of President and Secretary May Cease Dealing In Options, i Threatened dissolution of the Port land Board of Trade will not take place. Despite the resignations of President Townsend and Secretary Muller this week, both have been asked to recon sider and the activities of the organi zation will be resumed as if nothing had happened. Directors of the Board met in special session at the rooms of the organiza tion last night to act on the resigna tions of the two officers, Which were tendered Monday. The resignations were read and the causes leading to them were discussed at length. The directors decided unanimously not fo accept the resignations. Expressions of appreciation of the efforts of Presi dent Townsend and Secretary Muller were made by the directors, who were of one mind in wishing them to continue In the work. It is considered probable, however, that the trading In options by the grain ex change conducted by the Board of Trade will be discontinued. But this Is not fully settled. There will be a meeting of the grain committee Friday night to consider this proposition. Some of the members feel that this feature of the operations of the exchange has been det rimental to the best interests of the or ganisation and has alienated some sup port that would otherwise have been gained for it. Members of the grain committee who will decide whether or not to abandon the trading in futures are: I. C. Sanford, chairman: D. A. Pattulo, F. W. Swanson, F. A. Shull and Tom McKee. The financial report of the Board was submitted to the directors at last night's meeting and it was found that never before has the Board been In better shape to carry on its work than at pres ent. Every director pledged his full and undivided support in carrying on the work of the Board in future. It is said that the recent trouble will really result In the strengthening of the organization, for It will enlist the Interest and united effort of the directorate to a degree never before attained. Almost every director- was present at last night's meeting. The directorate is composed of the following men: J. A. Bell, F. E. Beach. G. W. Cum mlngs, R. Chllcott, John F. Daly, Willis Fisher, W. B. Glafke, C. L. Goodrich. T. S. Townsend, A. B. Steinbach. D. A. Pattullo. B. Lee Paget, Fred Muller: G. F. Johnson. E. C. Johnson, J. E. Murphy. W. H. McCorquodale. F. W. Swanton, T. N. Stoppenbach, O. W. Taylor, G. A. Westgate. dissenting Voice was heard, all being agreed that the delay in the trial of cases works a hardship on worthy liti gants. The resolution as adopted Is as follows: Text or the Resolutions. Wherei. The Circuit Court of the Stats of Oregon for Multnomah County Is unable, with Its present membership of four Judges, to properly handle the business coming be fore it, as Is evidenced by the fact that the trial calendar Is so crowded that cases now at Issue cannot be tried until next March and April; and Whereas The business of said court W1U continue 40 lncreaee In proportion to the growth of said county, and said court. If its membership remains the same, will probbly sonn be still further behind In Its work; and Whereas. Such enforced delays In the trials of caees works a hardship on litigants and often operates as a dental of Justice to wor thy suitors and should not continue; there- "? .- ... - of tha Mult- nomah Bar Association. In meeting assem bled, that tne jeguwativo State of Oregoh should, at Its next session, by appropriate legislation, provide for two additional Judges for said court. z Wants to Consult Judges. Alex Bernstein suggested that it might be a good plan to appoint a committee to arrange with the four- Circuit Judges to meet with the association, and state the need for two additional Judges, as he thought this would carry more weight with the Legislature. This did not meet with the approval of other lawyers pres ent. It being thought a delicate matter for the Judges to present their own needs. It was voted to have Chairman Ralph Fisher, of the association, appoint a com mittee of five to confer with the Multno mah delegation to the State legislature. It being believed that legislation of the character desired will carry, if the 20 members from Multnomah County favor it- . Speaking in favor of two more Judges, Mr. Malarkey said: "Argument upon this point Is not neces sary. We sit here in the courtroom Mon day mornings, as we did yesterday morn ing, and hear cases set for trial the last of March. Things are going from bad to SENATOR BOURNE LOSES HEAVILY IN FRIENDLY GAME OF POKER Solon Bets Limit on roll House and Wins Hundreds, But Eventually Drops a Neat Little Sum, Maybe $4,000, Maybe Less. IT WAS a WO-limit and a six-handed game. Gus Simon was dealing, and Dr. C. H. Wheeler, who sat next htm, glanced cautiously at his cards, saw three aces, and placed four blue chips in the center of the table. The pot was opened, for each blue chip represented 10. I'll raise It," said I. Lowengart. who sat next to the opener and held a small straight. He stacked up eight blues be side the opener's four. TU stay." said TJnited States Senator Jonathan Bourne. Jr.. who thought a pair of kings backed up with a pair of fours looked pretty good in that pot. The other three players, including the dealer, passed and disgustedly tossed their cards In a hean. The Senator care lessly placed eight blue chips in the center of the table. There were 29 blue chips, 1300. in ths pot when itagaln got around to the opener.who was lminenseTy-pleased with the three big aces he still held. He met the raise, and added four more blue chips. "1 11 stay and raise you. he said, and every one could see the look of satisfac tion with which he said It. But the look of satisfaction turned quickly to one of alarm, as Mr. Lowengart, whose small straight still looked like a winner, not only met his raise but came through with another, placing 16 blue chips, H60, in the pot- Then It was up to the Senator, whose r!r or Kings ana two iouh '" - " Quite so encouraging. Til stay," said the Senator, though dubiously, as he stacked up his K blue chips alongside the others. "Deal the cards." Dr. Wheeler also stayed. At the time of his election a well-known local politician said of Senator Bourne, "He has one qualification that will endear him to the hearts of many per sons like myself, he'll play two pairs higher than any poker player I ever knew." There were feeble attempts at banter and persiflage among the players as the dealer dealt the cards. The opener, with the three aces, drew two. Mr. Lowen gart, with the small straight, stood pat, and the Senator drew one. Stealthily, but earnestly, they eyed the new cards, and the faces of at least one of the players fell. But the Senator had caught a third king, making him a full-house, and he was unable to conceal the smile that spread over his countenance as he saw It. The opener, afraid of the man who stood pat and the one who drew one card, passed the bet. Lowengart, with the small straight, cautiously bet a white chip. The Senator eagerly shoved his stack to the center of the table and raised them the limit. Mr. Lowengart called, and the Senator's winnings on that one hand amounted to several hun dred dollars. But that hand's winnings were not suf ficient to keep him from eventually losing. At the end of the game he was a large sum to the had. Some say his losings were as much as U0. but his friends say that they were less than one-fifth that sum. When the game broke up he offered to play pinocle at $150 a game, but every one was looking out of the window. The big-limit poker game, wss played In a room at the Portland Hotel Sunday afternoon. be appointed during the week by Mr. Fisher, from Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The chairman appointed a committee to offer suggestions as to desirable leglslatiori. The members are: W. W. Cotton, C. H. Carey, R. G. Morrow. L. R. Webster and Dan J. Malarkey. The meeting of the association November 24 is to be devoted especially to the receiving of such measures as the mem bers of the' bar may see fit to offer. These axe to be referred to the legis lative committee which will prune out the undesirable parts, and report upon the bills. The members of the legis lative committee are: L. E. Crouch, L. A. McNary, George W. Stapleton, M. C. George and S. B. Huston. W. T- Gardner applied last night for membership In the association. The need of a new courthouse was suggested at the meeting last night, but was not formally taken up. EIGHT TIMES CONVICTED G. B. Hansard Guilty of Violating Local Option Law. ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 27.

AFTER THE GRIPPE Tinol Kestored Thia Man's Strength "Serwral years ago I was attacked by a severe case of grippe, which left me with a hacking cough, soreness In my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians. I "recelred no permanent relief until my druggist asked me .to try VlnoL and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I beltere Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, as It does what Is claimed for it." E. El R. Hicks, MaplesTllle. Ala. The reason .Vinol cures chronic coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles is because it contains tonio Iron and all the healing and body building ele ments of cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, and after sickness.
