TAFT SAYS WORK NEEDS MORE TIME Plea Made for Currency Leg islation and Extension of Civil Service. SECOND TERM NECESSARY I)r. Eltot Trgrs Adoption of Merit Instead or Spoils System in Public Service, and Abolish ment of Bargaining. washi.VOTOX. Jan. 23. President Taf t, at an address last night at the ban nuet of the National chamber of Com merce. urged that the organization use ir influence amnnr the commercial bodies of the country for renewed life for several matters of National legis lation which, he declared, were the most important now before the people of the country. The President asked especially for adeiuate and comprehensive currency legislation and support for the economy and efficiency commission. in aacn tior. he urged that the organization take up the question of the extension of the civil service to all local ap. point! ve offices in the Government service. He appealed also for Increased efficiency for the consular service. OaldlnK Influence Require Time. The President, referring to the ap proaching end of his Administration. thaf more time was necessary In order that the guiding influences of an Administration might be brought to a successful conclusion. I am no third-termer." lie said, "and T Ann't seem to be even a second- termer, but there comes a time when a second term Is necessary to the car rying out of the work that has been started ,by an administration that is about to be ended." Currency reform, the President de clared, was the most important sub ject before the country today. In that it touched every individual citizen of the country, from the richest to the poorest. The need for it. he asserted, should be brought home to Congress. Civil Service Only Begun. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, ad dressed the delegates on the "crying need of reform in the civil service." Jle declared that It was a mistake to think that civil service reform In this country had been completed. It only had begun, he said. "This Chamber of Commerce." said Dr. Eliot, "has before it the very im portant job of undertaking to correct the extraordinary miscarriage of the civil sen-Ice in the higher stages." He advocated the adoption of the merit system In the Government as against the spoils system. He said that the positions in the lower grades in the Government service had been cpen to young men. but that they could not get into the higher places because these places were "spoils." This situa tion has come about, he said, as the re sult of bargains between Senators and Representatives. VETERAN PILOT IS DEAD Captain Grenvllle Reed Passes Away - at Astoria, Aged 73. ' ASTORIA.

CALIFORNIA'S LURE FOUND ;oU JSoads and Adertising Do It, Says l'bil Motsc-han, Jr. "Good roads and good advertising are what have made the success of Southern California," said Phil Set- schan, Jr., when he returned from an extended visit in that section of the Coast. "Why, there is nothing else to It and it has not only paid a thousand fold, but is an asset that la easy to keep up to its full value. "As far as scenery and' interesting points of view are concerned, California cannot compare with Oregon, but down there they have learned how to attract the people and then entertain them. I made a careful tudy of this question from a hotelman's standpoint, and found that as many tourists reach Portland as Los Angeles, but the dif ference Is that they stay one day In this city and on an average two months lir the Southern city. "The people there make it a business of entertaining them and making It so pleasant that they want to stay. In this connection their lAauttful roads lend an Important factor, as the coun try is honeycombed w-ith them nun ureds and hundreds of miles of them. With similar roads and advertising Portland should be crowded with tour ists from May to October, and the monev they do spend is enormous. "The great department and other stores of Los Angeles practically live off these tourists and do a greater business than the stores of any other city on the Pacific Coast. Portland must get alive to this opportunity, and the sooner the movement is started so much earlier will the benefits be real ized. "After the Royal Rosarians had de parted for the north from their suc cessful invasion of California they were a constant source of comment, and I believe It did more to give Callfornlans a true idea of the Portland spirit than could have been received In any other way."

SKI JOURNEYIS TRYING Portland Club Battles Elements Five Days. The Cascade mountain range is ex periencing its most severe Winter in nearly 30 years. Members of the Port land Ski Club reached home last mid night fatigued from a five days' battle with the elements on the south slopes of Mount Hood. They report over 12 feet of snow at Government Camp and an average aeptn or teet at tne timber line, which Is four miles closer to tho summit. AU telephone lines between Bull Run. Aschoff's, Brlghtwood, Rhododen dron and Government Camp are down and mail service and traffic communi cation between these points is out of the question. The Portland knap- sackers were forced to abandon their stage coaches at Brightwood after hewing a passage for several miles through masses of debris and hundreds of giant pines, which had fallen across the mountain trails. Unheeding the advice that further progress might meet with serious con sequences, the party pushed ahead on sklis, reaching Rhododendron Inn, eight miles distant, after a terrinc bat tle with the drllts lasting several hours. The party remained at the inn Sunday night and laboriously toiled off the ten miles to Government camp tne following day, making three days for the 75-mile passage one way irom Portland. The first night the skflers quartered at Aschoff's Summer resort, a few miles beyond auii un. 'I xuesa it was the toughest expe rience our club has encountered In its seven annual tripa to Mount Hood." said John Cahalin. Assistant City At torney and president of the alpestrian organization, last night. "Nearly two feet of snow fell during tne nve nays we were among the foothills, so that it meant "break trail" every time we moved. 'Coming back from Government Camp Tuesday a heavy snow storm, accompanied by unique electrical dis charges, enveloped our party and made progress decidedly slow. so deep were the immense snow drifts that we were forced many times to unbuckle our skis and wade down creeks between crystal walls five and six feet In height. F. C Klggs, IS. V. jorgenson ana one or two other members of the party evidently wandered off the trail in the storm on the trip down for they came straggling In two or three hours after darkness had set in and just as a searching party was being recruited at Rhododendron. It was . tough trip, 11 right, but, withal, an enjoyable one despite the 40 miles of hard plod ding afoot." The skiers were met at Brlghtwood bv teams, but owing to the impalpa bility of the route back to Bull Run, a detour was made to Sandy and Bor ing, where the party boarded the elect ric cars for Portland. The club met the Y. M C. A. skiers on the way up at Aschoff's. "I don't recall a -heavier snowfall since 1885," said Adolf Aschoff. a for mer well-known Government forestry man. who has resided in the Mount Hood foothills since pioneer days. "Up here we tell by the blaze marks on the trees. "The freakiest snow storm I can re member occurred in July, of 1891, when 12 feet of snow covered the ground at Government Camp. The present storm will-tumble over thousands of trees but I don't think the damage to timber will amount to mucn." The members of the Ski Club who made the memorable hike were: John Cahalin, Oliver K. Jeffrey. E. D. Jor genson, F. C. Rlggs, T. Morris Dunne, G. Ralph Knight, A. D. Wakeman, Edgar Frank. E. J. Jeffrey, Jr., and Roscoe Fawcett. The guides were: Elijah Coalman. C. V. Chapman and Carl Aschoff. E. Franzetti, proprietor of the Rhododendron Inn. accompanied the party on the 10-mile Jaunt to Govern ment Camp. He was eight hours bat tling with the elements on the return trip. POTSDAM IGNORES ART KAISER AXXOYED AT CITIZENS' LACK OF APPRECIATIOX. Progressive Residents in Venerable Town Care Little to Preserve Ancient Landmarks. BERLIN. Jan. ' (Special.) Kaiser Wllhelm I, has a new load on his shoulders. The load is Potsdam. For years past this has existed in the form of quarrels with Potsdam's mu nicipality, resentment at Potsdam's socialisation, and annoyance at the way in which the town fathers neglect Potsdam's pavements. His latest trou ble is in connection with Totsdam as a center of antiquities. Potsdam is not a very venerable city, but it is old compared with Berlin, and Wilhelm is very keen that its eighteenth century character should be preserved. Other people are not. They want for business reasons to knock down the Frederician one-story stucco houses, and put up four-storied business houses instead. In "nodest Potsdam a four storied house is regarded as is a 60 story sky-scraper In New York, and people talk about it keeping nut the sun, and causing draughts in the streets. And its artistic effects are fatal. At least so says Kaiser Wilhelm. In the Wilhelmplatz and Bassinplatz there are some rows of very low Fred erician houses which Wilhelm II. finds have a delightfully antique air. Ho re gards them as eostatically as Parisians regard Notre Dame. An enterprising Herr Goebeler lately bought three of these houses, and proposed to transfer to the Bassinplatz his ugly carpet and curtain store. Ho wanted to put up only a three-storied store with big windows on what he called "American lines. The Potsdam municipal architect who has to pass all building designs said "No." Herr Goebeler suspected that this prohibition came from Kaiser Wilhelm and raised the question of the municipal architects powers in tne law courts. He has just won his case. He Is going to put up his three-story carpet store, and thus "ruin" the square. The next trouble which Kaiser W II- helm has had is In connection with the statues in the Lustgarten Park. The Lustgarten runs along the Havel In front of the old Town Palace where Frederick the Great first lived. The Lustgarten has a colonnade, fountains, and statues which go back to the early eighteenth century. The park is in charge of the Potsdam municipality, which has wrong ideas of art. It de cided lately that some of the statues were being gnawed away too rapidly the damp Havel air, and it had them cleaned. When they were duly cleaned It covered two of them experimentally with an anti-erosion compoeitlon. The composition gave the statues a smooth. shiny appearance, and they looked as it they were brand-new plaster casts. Everyone complained, and tne K.aiser asked Potsdam municipality not to coat the other cleaned statues. The Pots- damers are an irreverent race, and thev made so many jokes about the coated statues and wrote so many rude remarks on the pedestals, that the composition had to be scraped off. One statue Is for the moment spoiled. The Kaiser now wants such of the Potsdam citizens as understand any thing of art, to form a committee for the preservation of local antiquities. He offered to pay a subscription, if he were allowed to nominate two mem bers. It transpired that no one i Potsdam knew anything about art or antiquities except some crusty retired Generals and functionaries, and with these the go-ahead Philistine trades men of Potsdam do not want to work. GIRL VICTIM OF ATTACK Man With Acid or Chloroform Slars Face of Sleeping Child. The mark of a man's hand, with fingers outspread, in acid or chloro form upon her face, is the remembrance which 7-year-old Edith Campbell, pro tege of Mrs. Ellen Ml Pope, of 213 Thirteenth street, will bear for some time as the result of the visit of a mys terious man to her home early yester day morning.

AUTHOR STARTLES LONDON Marie Corelll Changes Publishers on Issue of New Novel. LONDON, Jan., 25. (Special.) A few days ago the publishing world here was startled by the news that Miss Marie Corelll had made a change in publish ers and that her 1913 novel was to be produced and sold by Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton. This is no light undertak ing or triumph for any firm, and is no doubt due to the sagacity oi Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton's chief editor, Sir W. Robertson Nicoll. the editor of The Bookman (London). The British Weekly and other publications. He is the shrewd, kind, genial Scotsman who "found" J. M. Barrie. Dan Maclaren, Ralph Connor and other now famous literary men. Marie Corelll has been only exceeded in successful sales on one occasion by ono other writer of recent years, Mrs. Florence I Barclay, the authorof "The Rosary," but Miss Corelll has been in the literary limelight for a quarter of a century and her fame, her popular ity, and her sales show no signs of di minution. A sum of J25.000 has to be paid over to her before she signs any eontract for publication, and even then the publishers are not permitted to see a line of her manuscript. They have to print what she sends them, when she sends it and exactly as the work is delivered. tion In the affair, but declare they had been drinking and only intended to have some fun at the postman's ex pense.
