Gatens Would Lengthen Daily Court Sessions. TAKES UP. DUTIES TODAY Jf He Has His Way, He WlllSIonnt Bench at 9:30 A. 31. and, With Short Recess for Lunch, Will Work Until 5:30 P. M. If It were left for Circuit Judge W. - X. Gatens to prescribe the hours for I holding court one material step would f be taken toward relieving the con i treated condition of the Circuit Court j In this district a situation that was : urged as a reason for providing an i additional Judgeship. Judg-e (Sat ens would have the five departments begin work at 9:30 A. M. . and work until noon. He would reconvene at 1:30 P. . M. and hold court until 5:30 o'clock. (However, the' hours the Circuit Court I of this district shall be In session axe I fixed by the five judges, and Judge Gatens will abide by the decision of a majority of bis fellow jurists. Judge Gatens will assume his offl- clal duties In Department No. 6 of the Multnomah County Circuit Court this i morning. He snDscrlbed to the oath I of office before the Secretary of State last Friday and the requisite creden- tials certifying to nis appointment have ! been filed with County Clerk Fields. I am here and ready to go to work, .and I expect to make good." said Judge - Gatens on his arrival from Salem last night. "Of course, I have my own ideas as to how the work In the Clr- : cult Court should be conducted, but It I is not my desire or Intention to come j down here and tell the other judges i how they shall conduct their respective ! departments. I expect faithfully to ! serve the people and give a good ac ! counting of the office. Will "ot Try to Dictate. "I am of the opinion that the sessions of the Circuit Court should be pro longed, but that is entirely my own idea, I understand that the judges constitut ing the district regulate the hours the court shall be In saRsioa. For that rea son It certainly is not my Intention to Initiate any Innovations or presume to 'run the court." I will adjust myself to such hours and other rules as they may wish. "Recognlziag that my appointment came through legislation declaring an emergency and knowing something of the congested condition of the Circuit Court here, it will be my purpose to do what I can to assist the court to dispose of that congestion. It is for that reason only that I have suggested longer hours for the court. The bill providing for the appointment of an additional judge ori ginally called for two, its friends de manding that two more Judges were needed. Now with Ave members on the bench, the services of a second addi tional Judge at this time would be made up If the five departments should hold slightly longer Besslons dally. If each of the Judges should hold court for one and a half hours longer each day, the aggregate of seven and a half hours would amount to an average day's work for another Judge." Although Judge Gatens, while serving as secretary to Governor Chamberlain, was not engaged actively In the practice of law, he did not neglect his study and reading of law. Several times during the last seven years he appeared. In court and at different times went before the Supreme Court la Important litiga tion. Presiding Judge Gantenbein last night said that so far as he was advised no change la contemplated in the working hours of the court, which, at present, are as follows: 9:30 A. M. until noon and from 2 to 6 P. M. The Judges are ex pected to be In court, engaged In the trial of cases, during those hours. Time Needed Out of Court. "If the judges of the Circuit Court are to be allowed any time in which to look up the law necessary to the decision of oases and attend to the other details connected with their offices," said Judge Gantenbeln, "I cannot see how they can spend any more time In the courtroom. With the addition of Judge Gatens. one more case will be set for trial every day. At this rate it will take some time to catch up with the work, but we will clean up the business as rapidly as pos sible." While Judge Gantenbeln Is serving as presiding Judge, and his term as such will not expire until April IS, Judge Ga tena will hold his court In the former's courtroom. This arrangement la only temporary and is made possible from the fact that under the present system the duty of the presiding Judge la to pass on motions, demurrers and the prelim inary steps that are necessary before cases are at issue. This work ordinarily can be conducted In chambers. For the purpose of providing for an additional courtroom the Ave Judges will confer probably tnls week.' It has been sug gested that the two rooms now used by' the grand Jury might be converted into an emergency courtroom. Before leaving Salem yesterday Judge Gatens was presented with an elegant silver-handled umbrella b7 Superintend ent Steiner and the assistant physicians at the State Insane Asylum. PEOPLE SHDDLD SHI Baker Believes in Popular Vote on Charter. MATTER IS NOW HELD UP As Nearly All Members of Council . Are Favorable to Referendum Vote on Adoption, Resolution Is Kxpected to ' Pass. While the question of submitting the proposed new charter to the voters is' at present being held up by Councilman Belding there Is every reason to believe the objection will be overcome at the Wednesday meeting of the Council. Under the rules of the Council, no ordinance can be introduced and passed at the same meeting, without unanimous vote. Coun cilman Belding objected to the ordinance to submit the new charter to a special as well as a regular election, so the mat ter was held up. Just why Councilman Belding held the Council to its rigid rule, or Just what are his objections to the new charter, la not known. An effort was made yesterday to obtain a statement from him, but he de clined, saying that before he voloed his objections in an interview, he wanted more time In which to consider the new charter. It is understood that a majority of the Councllmen are in favor of placing it before the people. There may be an attempt at filibustering by Belding and a tew members, in the hope of stalling off the vote on the question until after the time limit expires. Councilman Bajter was the man who in troduced the resolution creating the Charter Commission, and while he is not altogether in accord with the dooument as submitted, still be contends that the people have a right either to accept or reject the work of the Commission by their vote at the special election. In dis cussing the new charter. Councilman Baker said last night: Favorable to Referendum Tote. "While I am not in favor of an of the provisions In the new charter, still I feel that the Commission was composed of trustworthy and competent men and their efforts sbould be submitted to the people. I feel certain that the entire Connoil, with but one or two exceptions, are in favor of submitting the new charter ti the people at a special election. I think the charter is objectionable for the reason that it places In the hands of aeven people the legislative and ex ecutive administration of the city. If It were possible to elect men that were absolutely competent to fill these seven positions, there would be no objections. Four men are a majority of the seven, which practically means that four men could combine and dictate the policy of the city government. Can you imagine any greater political machine, than plac ing the Police, Fire, Street-Cleaning and other departments in the hands of these four menT - "In this new charter, each Councilman Is the executive head of some particular department. Take for Instance the Coun cilman who Is at the head of the Police Department. He estimates that he needs so much money with which to run his de partment, his colleague, who Is at the head of the Fire Department, must have so much money, and so on down the line. The most natural outcome of this sys tem will be, that each man, to get his ap propriation through, will stand in with the other fellow. By doing this he will be endeavoring, and quite naturally so, to make his department the most effi cient, and as a result the- taxpayer will have to bear the burden. The recall may be argued, but no matter how large the sum of money spent. If it can be honest ly shown that It was used to improve any one of the city departments the tax payers would hardly be willing to Invoke the recall on a public officer, because the money was spent in the city's improve ment. "I have not had time to go deeply Into the merits of the new charter. It has only been before me a couple of days. No doubt there are many good points in it I would advise every voter to read all of the provisions very carefully because it is a matter in which he Is vitally in terested and should know exactly what he la voting before he marks his ballot. Voting on this new charter la a matter of tremendous importance to the city and Ha future welfare, one that should not be done without cool deliberation, and study."

AV. C. A. and Fails to Visit Prisoner ' at County Jail. Awaiting the arrival of an officer from Vancouver, B. C, who will take him back to the British Columbia city for trial, Je han De Llnesay, charged with forgery. Is at the County Jail, morose and thoroughly despondent. He has abandoned the ex cessively suave and polite manner that characterized him when first arrested. Apparently angered at her husband for submitting her to sucn an unfortunate dilemma, the beautiful blonde whom he calls his wife has temporarily deserted him. She Is still In the city, but did not call at the County Jail to visit him yes terday, nor did she Inquire of him over the telephone. The woman suddenly and mysteriously left her apartments at the Young Wo men's Christian Association Saturday night and officials of the association have no knowledge of her present whereaDouis. It la believed she is still In the city, but she made no effort yesterday to communi cate with her husband. Until that time she had visited him dally at the Jail. De Limesay refuses to explain why he dropped the name of T. Brlenne, by which he Is known in Vancouver. He also refuses to explain why he was attempt ing to escape from Portland. He was on board the steamer Rose Cit;- when De tectives Mallett and Craddock captured him. The air of extreme courtesy and suavity' he exhibited at the time of his arrest has been discarded and the prisoner now re fuses to answer questions. However, he insists that he will be able to establish his Innocence. Advices from Vancouver are to the ef fect that an officer has already left that city for Portland to accompany the pris oner to the Canadian city. It Is said De Limesay will make no effort to prevent extradition. MOTHER KILLS OWN CHILD! Aberdeen Daily Suspends. ABERDEEN, Wafth., Feb. 14. (Special.)

No, the bacon I'm going to talk about has nothing to do with that prod igy of old England, who could shake a coal scuttle In the face of our present day legislators when It comes to graft ing; he who dived into the fame of Will Shakespeare and filched a share of his honors; he who rounded out a sagacious career with a stay in Jail like many a man no worse than you or I no the bacon I am going to talk about appeals to the innards more than It does to art and is made from Oregon's prize pork ers and is called "Fighting the Beef Trust" brand. ' Have you ever stopped to consider how much civilization, especially the western cult, owes to bacon? In the golden days of '49 the argonaut struck out for the placers with flour for flap jacks and a slab of bacon; you never heard of him carrying a ham. Our In dian war veterans went to the lava beds with rifles and sides of bacon. The sailor has eaten bacon and hardtack cince men first went down to the sea in ships. Over the emigrant trail the menu was bacon and biscuits and cof fee, for breakfast, dinner and supper. When the news of Alaska s treasure store went around the world the gold- seekers outfitted themselves with bacon, bacon, bacon, ana tne price went so high that we folks who were left be hind couia naraiy auora 10 eat oacon. But getting down to everyday things, how many people sit down to a break fast of bacon each morning? Tou won't venfure to count. You want your clam chowder to contain just the right quota of bacon. Corn chowder and potato chowder are improved by it. Trout should ho fried in bacon fat and gar nished with sliced bacon. It takes bacon Juice to bring out the right flavor of oyster saute. That epicurean dish, fillet of beef, should have bacon go with it. Beef a la mode depends upon bacon for Its name. Our staple Ameri can dish, beefsteak, is a royal treat when smothered in bacon and onions. Irish stew and every other kind of stew should have diced bacon. Hash, yes hash is a fine thing properly made and with bacon garnish. Of calf's liver and bacon nothing need be said. Stew tripe with bacon. Veal pie is twice as good when it Includes chopped bacon. Sweet breads and bacon, my, how delicious! Along about Christmas time, when good cooks are telling how to roast the tur key, they always say "and be sure to cover the breast of the fowl with slices of fat bacon." Did you ever add to the quantity of a chicken by heaping curls of fried bacon around the sides of the platter? Some people have. They tell me pate de foie gras must al ways have bacon. Put baoon in the schoolboy's lunch box. It will make him strong and hardy. To get the best bacon you ever ate and to get It cheap, you must go to a Smith market; you must pass up all the other markets. On Alder street, be sure you get In the right place be sure Smith's name is over the door. Smith's very choicest cut of bacon will cost you 17Hc per pound. Some day I'm going to write an "Essay on Ham." and It won't be Ham. the progenitor of the first families of Africa; It will be Smith's Ham.
