FIGURES HELD TOO THOUGHT THAT TOO MUCH IS ' " ASKED FOR CITY BOXDS. Out of $300,000 Issue, but $30,000 Is Sold Another Sale Ordered for Next Monday. Out of an Issue of $800,000 worth of Im provement bonds, the ways and means committee of the City Council yesterday afternoon sold only $30,000 worth, and awarded jrC.000 worth to City Treasurer Werlein for the municipality at par. The others brought from 1 to 2 per cent. An other sale will be ordered for next Mon day at $ P. M., and the committee is as sured that all of the remaining bonds will be sold at 1 per cent or better. It has recently been the policy of the ways and means committee to demand at least 2 per cent premium for these bonds, but It seems that there is an in sufficient demand to warrant holding the figure so high, and it is understood now that the committee will accept all' bids at 1 per cent premium or better. City Treasurer 'Werlein told the members pf the committee that he had been assured that, if they would accept 1 per cent premium or better, there will be bids to care for all the bonds left over. Council man Cottel thereupon moved that the committee act in accordance with the statement by Mr. TVerleln, and It is ex pected that there will be enough bids at the next sale to take over the entire amount. Among those who bid for bonds yester day was the Portland Trust Company of Oregon. President Benjamin I. Cohen was present tb reprenent -his company, and made a plain statement, '.In' which he declared that the actions of the ways and means committee of late had been unfair to bidders. In that too high prem iums have been demanded, and the plain Intent of the law has been violated. He said that the committee is bound by the charter to sell to any and all bidders offering par and accrued interest, but the committee had refused to sell on that basis. He contended that the bonds are not worth, at this time, more than par and accrued Interest, but Mr. Werlein challenged the statement, holding that they are well worth 1 per cent premium. He then made his statement, that if the committee would agree to accept bids for 1 per cent premium or better, there will be enough bids to' take over the whole block at the next sale. He said, however, "the committee has been trifling with the city's financial standing" by holding up the bonds and refusing to sell at less than par, accrued interest and 2 per cent premium. A number of street contractors were present to ask that the bonds be disposed of. so they might get their money on wofk that has been finished, and Miller A Bauer filed a communication also ask ing that the sale be made.

TRY TO GET BELL Mayor Appoints Committee to Ask Loan of Relic. GOING TO PHILADELPHIA Bell That Hang Out News of Lib erty May Be Brought to Portland. Hill Koads Will Help the Hose . Festival. Mayor Lane has appointed Councilmen Rushlight, Baker and Annand as a com mittee to represent the City of Portland in the effort to secure the Liberty Bell as an extra attraction for the Rose Fes tival. The Mayor Is heartily In sympa thy with the movement to bring this National trophy to the Pacific CoaKt. In addition to what the city authorities will do in this matter, the following letter, received by H. I Plttock, who is a mem ber of the committee named to work for this feature of the festival plans, indi cates that the Philadelphia authorities are perfectly willing to co-operate in the matter of sending this token of the Amer ican freedom here next Summer: DEPARTMENT OP PUBLIC SAFETY. Phllarieil.hla. Nov. 30 Mr. H. L. Pittock. The Oregonian. Dear sir: I have your let ter of the 20th Inst., requesting Information as to what .could be done to hav. the Liberty Bell at the Portland Kose Festival next June. I would suceest that you ad dress a communication to the Presidents of Select and Common Councils, as It wMl re quire an ordinance of Councils to permit the Liberty Bell to leave the city. Yours respectfully, HENRY CLAT. Director. Further details of the wide campaign of advertising which the Hill affiliated lines will carry on in behalf of the next annual Rose Festival were announced yesterday afternoon by Assistant General Passenger Agent A. I. Charlton in the following Interview: All folders and tiir.ecard. issued by the hundred of thousand, will advertise the Rose Festival from now until the opening of the great celebration. Jn fact, every bit of advertising- Issued by the Northern Pa cific, all display advertising- In the locaJ papers and all others t hrouRliout the coun try and all menu cards used on our dining rars will bear mention of the big display that will be held bre next June. In addition to this we have already de rided to use the special cards which are distributed throughout our entire dining car service for the writing; down of orders for advertising the Portland Festival and the Seattle Fair. Leaflets and Inserts are even now helujc printed wnlch will be used to carry out another line of publicity work for the" Festival. It should be remembered these kre printed' in 100.000 lots, and I ven ture to say that we shall be able to use at least 250.000 of them to help the Festival fiublicity work. Our plan Is to get these eaflets and lnaerta out at once and dis tribute them to the thousands of agencies which we' have throughout the United States, so that, by the fli)Bt of the year, every letter written by the Northern Pa cific Railroad, no matter where or upon what subject, will contain an Insert carry ing mention of the Portland Rose Festival. While the Festival is being given we shall get out a special poster announcing special ra.tca and tn detailed programme of the dally event of the celebration. What is most significant in connection with the plans the Hill lines have arranged for exploiting the Festival, Is the fact that President Elliott devoted most of his talk during the recent banquet in connection with the dedication of the North Bank road, to a commendation of the Rose Festi val. He saw the one held here last June, and be was ' so Impressed with " Its excel lence and possibilities that he devoted most of hla address to that affair. The unbounded enthusiasm of Mr. Elliott was contagloua. It resulted in the action which has lust been taken; it resulted in .the interesting of President Louis W. Hill, of the Great Northern, and led to ai strong Indorsement of the project by President Clarke, of the 8pokane. Portland c Seattle Railway. Another Important undertaking upon which we are now at work Is to bring every eastern and Middle "Western tourist who visits California during the early part of the Summer to return home by way ef Portland during Festival week or to come out this way before going South. I am most emphatic in the belief that the Im portance of the Portland Rose Festival cannot be overeatlmated ; it surpasses any thing that has e-ver been given in Cali fornia and will rank, easily, with the Mardl liras or New Orelans as an event of Na tional Interest. Milwaukee May Have Bank. A. H. Dowllngr, secretary of the mass meeting held In Mllwaukie last week to encourage the establishment of & bank there, reported yesterday that the pros pects were good for success. Ho said that one man wants to take $2500 and another flCK)0 of the stock, and others are interested. It is desired that the people should take $5000 of the $10,000 capital stock, and the indications are that it will all be subscribed within a short time and the bank started. MORE BUILDINGS WANTED Oregon and Idaho Yw M. C. A. Vote for Aggressive Steps. The annual convention of Oregon and Idaho Y. M. C. A.s closed at Mc Mlnnvllle last Sunday night Those present at the meeting decided that it is time to take an aggressive step in these two states. It was pointed out that if Eugene can raise $51,650 toward a new building In eight days, other cit ies can do it. Last year $2500 was spent In pushing the association work Into new cities of these two states. Next year the sum will be doubled. The state committee is to be incor porated in order better to care for gifts and bequests. It was also voted to have delegated bodies in place of mass conventions in future years. The state committee is to continue Its pol icy of restraining immature organiza tions from assuming obligations which they cannot meet. It is the belief of the state committee that they should not enter the Held as associations until they are ready to provide adequate equipment. Reports show that during the last year the Pocatello association has com pleted Its building. That association has as members 600 railroad men. The Payette association has a $12,000 brick building with a paid secretary. The college association building, at Cor vallis. is nearing completion and will be dedicated In January. These are In addition to the $51,650 raised in Eugene for a new building and the elght-etory steel and reinforced concrete structure now being erected in Portland. In the two states there are 15 well -organized college associations and 24 secretaries giving their entire time to the work. I. B. Rhodes Is the executive head of the work In Oregon and Idaho. CRUEL FATHER IN COURT Ordered by Judge Gantenbein to Pay Back Dues for Child's Keep. For refusing to pay $5 a month to the grandparents of his nine-year-old daughter, whom the Juvenile Court took away from him and her step mother on account of their cruel treat ment of the child, G. II. Tucker was haled before Judge Gantenbein yes terday afternoon, and summarily or dered to pay three months' dues by next Friday. Tucker was surly to the point of impertinence, and it was hought the Judge would have been justified 'in punishing- him for con tempt of court. ' Last August, on complaint of an elder sister of the child, the Juvenile Court took notice of the little girl's pitiable plight and committed her to the care of her dead mother's parents, named Fuller, at Monmouth. The child had been severely beaten and otherwise abused. The father has an unnatural temper toward his children, according to the evidence gathered by the Juvenile Court officers and the testimony presented by the elder sis ter. Tucker was highly Incensed last Aug ust by the court's interference in what he considers his private domestic af fairs, and his anger showed itself yes terday to have grown hotter in the three months that have followed. Un less he obeys the Court and pays the required sum for his child's keep, he will be severely dealt with. Thus far he has refused to pay any attention to the mandate of the Court.
