RAIL RIGHTS QUESTIONED City Attorney Doubts Legality Railway Franchises. of That the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company may have no franchise under which to operate on the West Side. Is the statement of City Attorney Grant, in a letter to Mayor Rushlight, made public yesterday. Mr. Grant rec ommends that no further franchises be given this corporation until, such time as its officers pay what he declares to be bills due the city on bridge and im provement work. Including the dispute on the right of the company to operate ever the Hawthorne-avenue span. Mr. Grant said he had been going into these features of his official duty, as laid down by the charter, and was soon to make a detailed report to the Mayor and Council, but he hastened to submit his views at this time because the streetcar company had filed application for a large number of extensions and new franchises, with a lot of streets on which the corporation wished to re linquish its present rights. The only action of the City Council, which met yesterday, was to refer the application of the company to the street committee. HOTELMEN T0AID OREGON Campaign Will Bo Waged to Bring Tourists Here.

Howard Acker. Wire of Member of "The Xew Leader" Cast, Wins Suit and Daughter. Divorced within SO days after leav ing his wife settled in a New Tork flat, and while happily engaged In his C. Howard Acker, Actor at Or phenm, Wkom Wife Divorces la His Abseace. profession to supply her with funds, is the fate of C Howard Acker, who is appearing this week at the Orpheum as the stage manager in The Imsw Leader." Acker was just ready to go on to play his part at the theater last night when a Portland attorney ap peared at the stage door and handed him a copy of the decree as entered by a New Tork court. The action taken by Mrs. Acker is especially unsatisfactory because the court has given her entire control of our lt-year-old daughter, said the actor after the performance. The child Is as tall as I am and Is more often taken to be my sister rather than a daughter. "Mrs. Acker was a Baltimore girl and we were married when she was 16 and I was 17 years of age. When success came to me in Eastern stock engagements and the matinee Idol stuff began to come out in the news papers my wife did not like it She had never been on the stage and did not understand what it meant any more than a good many other wives. "Then I went 'on the road with a Henry W. Savage production and Mrs. Ackea brooded over her Imagined grievances until she concluded to seek a divorce. I went back as soon as I heard of It and we became reconciled. The case was not withdrawn, but when I left New York with Mr. Mann's com pany Mrs. Acker agreed to have the case thrown out of court immediately. Since then I have ten making remit tances to her out of my salary and had absolutely no knowledge that she had changed her mind. "I shall let the subject rest until I get through with the present tour, and then seek the advice of an attorney. I will not give up my rights to the daughter without a fight. Mrs. Acker's parents are prominent in Baltimore." Electric Chapter Desired. To organize an Oregon chapter of the National Electric Light Association, T.

Portland to Take Lead. "We shall undertake the thing which everybody says ought to be done, but which nobody else is willing to do," said General Secretary Stone, In speaking of the campaign yesterday. Dr. George Fisher, in cnarge oi tne ohvslcal deoartments of the Young Men's Christian Association throughout the couutrv. has been seeking for some association to undertake a campaign of thia kind. Harry Moore, who for sev eral years has been boys' secretary of the BDokane Young Men's Christian Association, was picked by Mr. Fisher as the man to lead, but until now no city in the United States has under taken such a work as we have. "The City Librarian has co-operatea with us to the extent of arranging a blbllograph of all the books on the subject to be found in the Puhiio Li brary, and the medical library has also compiled a list of the books bearing on diseases connected with vice. "We are moving cautiously and wish to avoid any kind of political agitation, for we are not making a political move; it Is purely educational. Unless great care Is used, suspicion always gathers about any movement in the sex line. We desire the approval of teachers, parents, city officials, med ical men and the clergy and If we are able to secure it. Khali close the cam paign with a week's exhibit at the Young Men's Christian Association. We shall not have the exhibit, however. until It has been seen by teachers, the clergy and others, and approved by them. We are ready to render a serv ice to the city, and we wish the city's co-operation." School Work Also Planned. Mr. Stone said further that the edu cation of the young would be taken into the publlo schools provided the association has the co-operation of parents and teachers. A. M. Grllley. physical director of the association, is lending his hearty sup port to the work, as are also Mayor Rushlight. President Foster of Reed College and school officials of the city. Closely associated with this work Is that of L H. Weir, field secretary of the Playground and Recreation Asso ciation of America, who arrived In Portland last Sunday night, and will attend the Conference of Charities and Correction and the Playgrounds and Recreation Institute In Seattle October 17 to October 2L This will be the first conference of its kind In the Northwest, and Is expected to be at tended largely by social workers, play, ground officials and city officials. Among those In attendance will be E. DeGroot, general supervisor of play. grounds and recreation buildings of Chicago; Francis H. McLean, of the Russell Sage Foundation, and secretary of the National Association for Organ izing Charities, and James E. West, secretary of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica. They will come to Portland Octo ber 22 and 23 and a mass meeting will probably be arranged for Sunday after noon and evening. Meetings will also be held at Chtco, Cel., San Francisco and Los Angeles. Mr. Weir urges the use of school buildings evenings for social gatherings of the school chil dren, and regards it as a solution of the entertainment problem.

Bennett, addressing the members of the Ad Club at the weekly lunoheon In the Portland Hotel yes terday. "People are inclined to give the wrong construction to the word beautiful and for that reason, the Civio Improvement League should try to get away from It. As a matter of fact, however, the city which Is laid out on practical lines, must be beautiful, for utility and beauty 'go togef ler." Mr, Bennetts aaarees on the "City Practical," as he insisted on calling it. was followed by a speech by Dr. J. R.

ICE SHORT, HUE $50 PROPRIETOR OF COMPANY CON VICTED, APPEALS. Thomas Barnes Said to Have Carried Slldlng-Price Scale to Cheat Pa trons Woman Complains. Thomas Barnes, one of the pro prietors of the National Ice & Coal Company was convicted In the Muni cipal Court yesterday of selling short weight Ice. and a $20 fine was about to be Imposed upon him, when his at torneys requested that the fine be raised to $25, that he could appeal. Judge Tazwell raised the fine to $S0, and the appeal was taVen. Barnes was accused of selling short weight ioe to Mrs. E. C. Masters, at 444 East Fifteenth street, September 7. Mrs. Masters had a standing order with the Ice company to deliver SO pounds, and had been accustomed to pay one half cent a pound for It When the ice. said to be under weight, was weighed. It was found to contain only 38 pounds. It was alleged by the prose cution that Barnes had cards with sliding scales of prices in his pocket. and that whenever he was called to ac count for delivering short-weight he could exhibit a card with a price printed on it to fit the particular case, and which usually showed that the customer had really obtained more ice than due. Mrs. Masters testified .that after the complaint was made against Barnes, he called on her and Informed her that he was charging her at the rate of 1 cent a pound. In court Barnes testified that he was charging at the rate of 79 cents for 100 pounds. This Is the second case of short weight ice In Lie Municipal Court in two days, Ed Tracy having been con vlcited on a similar charge and fined $10 the day before. A city ordinance provides that dealers In commodities must give full weight, but F. G. Buchtel, sealer of the office of weights and measures, declares that patrons frequently order commodities, parti cularly Ice, by prices which they name Instead of by weight, and for that reason dealers have opportunity to PAYS TO SHAMPOO YOUR OWN HAIR In a very Interesting article in the Baltimore Times, Mae Martyn, noted authority on beauty topics, says: "Since alkali, as fou,nd In soaps and most shampoo preparations, has been found responsible for most hair and Bcalp troubles, too great care cannot be taken in the matter of shampooing. "To those desiring a beautiful head of hair and a perfectly healthy scalp, I recommend the use of plain canthrox for shampooing. A teaspoonful dis solved In a cup of hot water makes the most beneficial, satisfactory and least expensive shompoo known to science, "This shampoo is a perfect scalp cleanser, and leaves the hair in the brightest, fluffiest condition possible.

There are two ways to tell whether you have weak kidneys. The firBt Is through the pains In the back and other outward signs. The seoond Is by examination of the kid ney secretions. That is why physicians make such a careful examination when you ap ply for insurance, and if there Is any sign of kidney trouble you are surely rejected. Kidney disease is so dangerous that it is a bad mistake to overlook or neg lect it, and' If pain in the back, recur ring headaches, or a fretful, nervous, tired condition makes you suspect some kidney trouble, take the trouble to watch the kidney secretions. Look for any of the following signs: . Mor. or lass than three and one-half pints paaied daily. Too dark or toe pale a color. FuufH too frequent, profuse, or rnaoh reduced, or soaldlnf and painful.

THE STABILITY OF ARTISTIC PIANO sought for generations by all builders of high class instruments and with but one exception un attained. Primarily, the decay of tone in a paino is due to one cause the flattening of the arch or crown of the sounding-board. The TENSION RESONATOR (patented), as used exclusively in the PIANO sustains and supports the crown of the Mason Q Hamlin sounding-board so perfectly that it not only insures the permanent perfection of the piano, but also it adds to the vibratory quality of the sounding-board to such a degree as to produce a tone of such rare sweetness, singing quality and purity as is found in no other piano in the world. Mason Hamlin pianos instantly compel the enthusiastic admiration of the true musician, and when once tried prove every claim made for their superiority, establishing a new standard of ex cellence which places them absolutely on the pin nacle of perfection.
