12 -THE HORXIXG- OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY. MARCH 14, 1913. GYRUS H. K. CURTIS PORTLAND TOR Head of Philadelphia Publish ing House Pleased With Progress of West. WILSON'S ABILITY LAUDED Declaration Made That Administra tion Cannot Be Judged Before It Is Tested bnt Attitude of President Is Predicted. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, of Philadelphia, president of the CUTtia Publishing Company, arrived in Portland in private car yesterday morning, and leaves for Seattle this morning, iir. ' Curtis is on a pleasure tour and is accompanied by Mrs. Curtis, a daughter, Mrs. Pearson Wells, of Ironwood Mich.; Mrs. John D- Cutter, of Tomahawk, Wis., and Mrs. R. A.

In view of building a new plant for the Ledger, the present one having been built In 18S7 by George W. Childs, Mr. Curtis has Inspected various newspaper plants. . Mr. Curtis Is "Portlander." "Yes I am from Philadelphia, but I am not a Philadelphian," said Mr. Curtis at the Multnomah Hotel, yesterday, "I am a Portlander for Portland. Me., was my birthplace and the scene of my boyhood. I am Interested in this city which was named for my birthplace. "I was here ten years ago but my other Western trips did not Include Portland. The vigor of the West is amazing. I like the West so much that I inserted a daily letter from the West in the Ledger when I bought it. "Portland is a fine example of progress. Everywhere 1 see new build ings, modern and large. The Portland Hotel and The Oregonian building are all that look famllar to me. What is It specifically that appeals most to me? Its the spirit of the West. It has the enthusiasm of youth and forges ahead beyond the comprehension of those back East, many of whom think the West is but a place for frontier tales. I al ways look forward to my Western ex cursions and will include Portland. In them." President Is Discussed. Referring to the Wilson Administra tion. Mr. Curtis said that he voted for Woodrow Wilson because he believed that Wilson was & scholarly, able man who would direct the affairs of the Na tion in an admirable manner. "President Wilson's ability is not doubted by anybody who knows him continued Mr. Curtis. "His Adminis tration cannot be judged until it has been tested. He will be President and will exert all the authority of his office." That Pennsylvania has suffered by bonddealers of Vancouver. B. C are at the Multnomah. J. S.

The reason he gave for the act was the same as In the present case, that the victim had talked about htm. Much more self-possessed than at the time of the arrest. Hammond appeared in Municipal Court yesterday morning for a moment and his attorneys waived an examination on the charge of mur der In the first degree. Hammond was held to the grand Jury without bail. The slayer is a confirmed user of morphine, consuming about six grains of the drug a day. He was under the Influence at the time of the shooting.

Backus and F. C. Dougherty, SPEED QUESTION ARGUED LIMIT URGED OJT AMBULANCES, FIRE AND POLICE VEHICLES. C. W. Hodson, of Police Committee ot Executive Board, Terms Drivers Murderers. ' The rapid driving of ambulances, fire vehicles and the police patrol through the streets of the business section was condemned at a meeting of the police committee of the Executive Board yes terday by C. W. Hodson, a member of the committee. "The drivers of these vehicles are brawlers and marauders, and consti tute a menace to publio safety," de clared Mr. Hodson. v Waldemar Seton agreed In general with Mr. Hodson that the drivers of such vehicles should exercise greater caution than they do at present. "I believe that if they would go slower," said Mr. Seton, "they would be more certain of arriving at their des tination quickly." Mr. Hodson, who was tn favor of some action being taken by the com mittee looking toward the regulation of the speed of the vehicles in ques tion, declared that Portland is not so big a town but that 20 miles an hour would be a sufficient speed to get from one of Us confines to another in a very short time. Chief of Police Slover expressed him self in favor of reducing the speed of the police patrol and the fire ap paratus by setting: their gear so that they could go just so fast, and no faster. He also said that under pres ent regulation it la Impossible to con vict a doctor of a violation of the speed laws. W. H. Fitxgerald was opposed to placing any limit on the speed of fire or police apparatus, but was willing that ambulances should be regulated. Both Mr. Seton and Mr. Hodson in sisted that It was not the use of speed, but the abuse of It, to which they ob jected. With the committee divHiea, no ac tion was taken, but City Attorney Grant, at the request of Councilman Watkins, Is preparing an ordinance amending the present traffic ordinance so that ambulances will come under its general provisions. PLEA IS MADE FOR PARKS V. Vincent Jones Comments on Crim inal Statistics. The Parent-Teacher Association held Its regular meeting Wednesday after noon at 3 o'clock at the Clinton Kelly School. The meeting was addressed by V. Vincent Jones. He spoke of the great need of pro viding tor the full and free expression of the natural play impulse of children as well as abundant recreational facili ties for adults and emphasised the need of purchasing sites for playgrounds and small neighborhood parks in every section not now adequately served, be fore prices are too high. He referred to the experience of New York City tn having to pay as much for three small playgrounds in the congested East Side eight years ago as the whole 840 acres of Central Park cost about CO years ago. Mr. Jones declared "Crime and crimi nals cost the United States over $500, 000,000 per year. If we could stop the production ot Juvenile delinquents we would nip in the bud SO per cent ot adult crime., Kansas City playgrounds reduced Juvenile delinquents 80 per cent."

Value of Victor, Colorado, Property Involved, Misrepresented, Says Complaint. v , Charging that he was swindled in the transaction, R. B. Dixon has started suit in Circuit Court to set aside a deal by which he traded a tract of Grant County ranch land worth $6000, to T. J. Leonard for property in Victor, Teller County, Colorado. He declares that Leonard assured htm that th property was across the street from the County Courthouse and was Improved with a bulldinjr bringing in iiso a month and was worth $12,000. In his complaint Dixon recites that he accepted these assurances as truth but found out after the deeds had been exchanged that the Colorado property was improved only with an old house which had remained untenanted for a long time; that it had been sold for taxes and that more than $800 would be necessary to redeem it, and that Victor is not the County seat of Teller County. He asserts that the Victor property Is worth not more than $500 In its present condition. In another complaint a swindle is charged against Mrs. Helen M. Geren and R. L. Mathison by Charles Doyle, Winnie Doyle and Nellie Caughell, a brother and two sisters residing in Curry County.
