The small tract at the comer of Powell and Mllwau kie streets, which has been turned over by the city to the Park Board, has been cleared of pipe and fixtures by the water committee preparatory to making it a park for the neighborhood. Also the long building that was used as a pumping station by the old East Side Water Com pany and afterward as a storehouse for the water plant, will be torn down.

Atchley, president of the East Side Busi ness Men's Club, expressed pleasure yes terday over the Mayor's veto of the street lighting ordinance and said: "This veto Is a victory for the club and it means that the East Side may now get the kind of lighting post it wants. If the ordinance had stood it would have meant that East Portland would not have had lighted streets. Now, we can take the matter up again, and I think we will secure the design that we think is best fitted for the East Side." Prohibition Is Subject. Prohibition will be the subject discussed at the meeting of the Study Club of the Sell wood Branch Library tonight.

Seattle Evangelist Argues Tnat Coast Prom Alaska South Will Sonic Day Feel Wrath of God.. That cities, states and nations alike are subject to the Scriptural law of reaping what Is sown, laid down by Saint Paul in hiB epistle Do the Galatians, Just the same as individuals, was a statement contained in a sermon last night at the First Presbyterian Church by Rev. Mark A. Matthews, pastor of the First Pres byterian Church at Seattle. Dr. Matthews Is preaching a week's series of revival sermons at the church. Following out this generality, the speaker called attention to the San Fran cisco disaster, which he attributed to the sins of that city. He next pointed out the more recent flood calamity at Paris, France. "I do not mean," he said, "that God Almighty . shot a thunderbolt out of the sky, as it were, and precipitated these calamities. But the very sins of the cities themselves brought them. They were saturated in sin. The law of reap ing what is sown is as immutable as the coming of the judgment day. "The time is coming when this great Coast, from Valdes, Alaska, to the southernmost point must pay for its sins. There is no evading it. The harvest must be reaped." The minister took as his text: "Be not deceived; God is not mock. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap." . Fre quently through his sermon, following out some chain of reason, he referred to the first phrase of the text: "Be not de ceived." The sermon was a brilliant ora torical effort, scintillating with figures of speech, intensified by dramatic tones, gestures and attitudes. The divorce evil and commercial greed came in for their share of attention as be ing among the country's worst evils. "Just as sure as you sow the dust of gold, so sure will you reap the dust of an endless remorse." he said. "The Ameri can people are sitting over a volcano of sin. Some day there will be an eruption and the hot, burning lava of hellishness will sweep over this fair land, sparing none." The services will continue each after noon and evening throughout the week. SCHUMANN-HEINK TONIGHT Splendid Programme of Songs by the Greatest Contralto the . World Has Seen. The contralto voice, in the opinion of many, is the most appealing, most heart-stirring music that has been created.

The programme she will give to night at the Armory is noteworthy for the large number of splendid master pieces of song it contains. The words of all these songs will be given a place on the programme.

Mayor Simon is determined to close the Maple Dancing Pavilion and the Casino Dance Hall, against which the police have been making complaint, and yesterday morning he declared that he will raid these places unless the Council revokes their licenses or passes an ordinance to regulate them strictly. The case of Maple will come before the Council this morn ing on a recommendation of the license committee that the complaints of the po lice be "filed." "I am going to give the Council time In which to revoke or stringently regu late these dancehalls, and if the Coun cil does not act, I will take a hand and see whether I can close the places," said Mayor Simon. "I intend to raid these dancehalls and to have some of the men and women arrested and carted to police headquarters, and we shall find out who they are and what they are doing in such places. I prefer to have the places closed by the Council, but have determined that, unless this is done, I will bring the police force into action, t am not going to tol erate any such places as these while I am Mayor." The Maple Pavilion is on Washington street, near Seventeenth, and the Casino is in the old Y. M. C. A. building at Fourth and Yamhill streets. Specific writ ten complaints, accompanied by recom mendation for revocation of the' license of the Maple, was placed before the license committee of the Council by Chief of Police Cox and Captain Bailey, but Councilmen Drlscoll, Dunning and Con cannon, the members of the committee, voted to "file" this evidence. This means, if the report Is adopted by the Council today, that the dancehall will continue operations unmolested. The chief objections thus far advanced by the police against the dancehalls is the toleration by them of Immoral "steps." Young girls and boys crowd the halls nightly. Mayor Simon has received numerous complaints. WATCH SWINDLE FAILS Collusion Is Apparent on Short Pawn Ticket. O. H. Stubrud, a farmer, of Gold Beach, Or., was the victim of a watch swindle yesterday afternoon and appealed to Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald to prevent a second-hand dealer from swin dling him of $10. Through the prompt action of Mr. Fitzgerald the second-hand dealer was compelled to return the money. Stubrud was approached by a stranger on the street who showed a pawn ticket showing that $12 had been lent at the shop. The stranger had $2 and repre sented that the watch was worth' $60 and that if he did not redeem the pledge he would lose it. He agreed to give Stubrud the watch as security if he would advance the $1D. The two proceeded to the shop and Stub rod advanced $12, but when the watch was forthcoming It was seen to be a brass timepiece, almost worthless. The stranger disappeared at once and the second-hand dealer refused to return the money." Deputy Fitzgerald dispatched Deputy Sheriff Deich to the place and threatened the dealer with arrest- COINS OREGON CANDIDATE Rural Carriers Boom Their Dele gate for Xational Secretary.
