GEORGE V BUSINESS-LIKE Iord Stamford ham Abolishes Man; Old and Iyucrativ Sinecures. LONDON". May 8. From being a place destined to provide easy well-salaried - posts for the younger sons of the no bility the royal household of England has been transformed into an establish ment run on strictly business-like lines. Ornamental posts there always will be around a court, but if there is any work attached to a Job only the man of brains and ability gets a chanoe where the present King of England Is con cerned. Consequently the British Court today Is a model of its kind. The most up-to-date business methods and the most complete organisation exist every where, and there la neither any over lapping as regards Jobs nor any ex cusefor the "slacker." Immediately after the King's acres slon reforms bean to be instituted. Almost before George was settled on OMBABD the throne he sent for Sir Arthur Bigg (now Lord Stamfordham) and told him that the secretarial department was to be overhauled and reformed at once. The orders were dear and to the point. "I desire my secretarial department. said Klr.g George; "to be organized on much the same lines aa that of any great business firm or commercial cor po ration. Nothing la to be allowed to stand in the way. As it happened. Lord Etamfordham was not at all loth to undertake this Job and the sweeplng-out procesa was started on the spot. Those men wn had nothing but an ancient lineage to recommend them were cleared out, and men with practical business knowledge superseded them. At the present time the department Is a model one. Every document, no matter how trivial. Is carefully ex amlned by the -chief private secretary or an assistant and receives Its due filing number. All papers to be per sonally considered are then placed l specially made dispatch boxes and sent to the King's private office. As soon as he has dealt with them they are re placed and marked whether they are to remain at Buckingham palace or. happens In the case of more private papers, to be stored In the archives at Windsor Castle. The most elaborate card-Index system is in vogue at both POLITICAL MJ1ETEVG9 TODAY. Mayor Rushlliht and others will address the voters on the downtown streets during the evening: many candidates will speak In their own behalf, while others will be repre sented by friends.

Incidents, such as the mislaying of documents, which used to happen nour ly in King Edward's reign, are now al most impossible. That monarch had a habit of placing any paper ne wisnen to read. In the pockets or his ciotnes ana then afterwards taking them out ana putting them down in the first place that came handy. Consequently no one ever know where any document, how ever important, happened to be, and Viscount Knollys used frequently to De driven to the verge of the grave py worry on this account. The same business-like system pre vails throughout the royal household. Every tradesman's account Is carefull necked and scrutinized oeiore p. menu The Lord Steward s department deals with this account and It is a strict rule that not a nickel must be Daid out until the Invoice haa been in Italed either by the lord steward (the Earl of Chesterfield) or by the master of the household (Sir Derok Keppel). In this way the old system by which tradesmen supplied what they pleased and charged as they liked has been com pletely swept away, corruption ana secret commission are now practically nonexistent. If any case Is discovered the delinquent, be he tradesman or ser vant, is immediately struck ofT the list. King George carefully goes over the whole of the household accounts every month and compares them with the two or three months previous. Where any considerable divergency exists the rea son is Inquired into at once, ine tiing also goes through Queen Mary's pri vate accounts to the last cent ana sel dom passes them without several com ments. STATUS TO BE SETTLED Administration of Spitsbergen to Be Decided at Chrlstlania. CHRISTIAN!., May 8. (Special.) An Important international conference will assemble in Chrlstlania this Sum mer to settle the administration of Spltzbergen. which has hitherto been treated by Europe as a "no man's land." Delegates are to attend from Russia. Sweden. and the United ' States. and it is hoped that the status of the country will be finally settled. Spltzbergen. though it has never been permanently inhabited. Is a coun try rich In mineral wealth, both gold and coal having been found there In paying quantities, whilst Norwegians have hunted in the interior and fished along Its shores from time Immemorial. In 1909 a conference assembled at Chrlstlania, composed of representa tives of Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Germany and the United States, for the purpose of drawing up some scheme for the future status of the territory. Germany opposed tha claim of any single power to Spltberg en, being in favor of some kind of International control. In May last year a draft convention was agreed on by the governments of Russia, Norway and Sweden for the ad ministration of Spitsbergen. By this convention, if it is finally adopted, Spltzbergen will be neutral territory, open to all nations, and administered by a committee composed of one rep resentative of each of the three powers. The cost of administration is to be covered by land and other taxes, which, however, are not to be imposed without the sanction of all the signatory powers. The convention Is to run for peri ods of 18 years, and may be denounced on notice being given within a certain time before the end of each period.

PROOF IN LETTER ISSUED Automobile Incident Brings Fortn Further Attack on Candidate for Mayoralty Olympic Clnb Card Hit, . Charges that Gay Lombard as recent ly as January, 1918, had claimed San Francisco as his- place of residence were reiterated last night by George L. Baker before a well-filled hall in Sellwood, at East Thirteenth street and Spokane avenue. Mr. Baker said that he had been called a prevaricator by Mr. Lombard, and, while admitting that he might have slipped from the straight and narrow path of absolute veracity at some stages of his career, declared that this was once at least that there could be no quibble concerning the truth of the statement he had made concerning Mr. Lombard. 1 expected that Mr. Lombard, In consistence with his entire campaign of misrepresentation, would call me a liar," said Mr. Baker, "so I didn't keep this until the day before election. was told of Mr. Lombard s San Fran cisco residence in plenty of time for him to come back at me with the only weapon at his command, that of pre sentlng me with a membership card to the Ananias Club. I am going to show you that Mr. Lombard is not only a member of the Olymplo Club, of San Francisco, but that he Is well quail fled for membership to the club to which I have Just referred. "I am going to ask you, ladles and gentlemen, to look In your Oregonlan tomorrow morning, and see a fac simile copy of a letter that will prove that what I have told you about Mr. Lombard's buying an automobile in San Francisco is the truth. I said that the Lombards had claimed residence in San Francisco, and this letter shows that the Portland agent of the auto mobile-that Mr. Lombard bought was unable to collect his commission on the sale because Mr. Lombard had claimed a residence in San Francisco. Lombard's Attitude Attacked. "Mr. Lombard must have mlsrepre sented his place of residence to the agent of that automobile at San Fran cisco, for if he had not, that agent would not have claimed and collected the commission. The Portland agent of that automobile told me that he had tried for over a year to get Mr. Lorn bard to give him some word showing that he was a resident of Portland at the time he bought that car, but had been unable to get It. Mr. Baker attacked Mr. Lombard's at tltude on the commission form of gov ernment, declaring him as Insincere in that attitude as in giving his place of residence when buying an automobile Mr. Lombard only changed his at titude on the new charter," said Mr. Baker, "after he had made up his mind that the voters were against it. and because he thought that he would be boosted Into office by opposing it. Until he thought he heard a rumble against It he was for It. He attended one of the meetings of the committee that framed It, and he told Mr. W. B. Ayer, a member of that committee. that he had spent several days studying the charter and that he thought It was all right. Now he tells you that it is all wrong. He tells you that he has had lawyers analyze it, and that they have found it unconstitutional. Tou know as well as I do that you can always get a lawyer to find any thing you want. They said the same thing about the Initiative and referen- um and the direct primary, but the highest court In the land haa held these things constitutional." Instances of Service Sought. D. Soils Cohen addressed the meet ing, comparing the record of Mayor Rushlight with that of Mr. Lombard. He declared that Mr. Rushlight, by bis economical administration of the funds f the fire department, has been able to build three times as many firehouses as were built by any previous admin istration. "Neither Mr. Lombard nor his most ardent supporter has given or can cite single lnstanoe of publlo service that e has performed that would warrant his aspiring to the high office of May or." said Mr. Cohen. Mayor Rushlight spoke, giving an account of his stewardship as Mayor, and declaring that in submitting com mission form of government to the people he had fulfilled his pledge made two years ago. Waldemar Seton was the last speak er. Mr. Seton Is a member of Mayor Rushlight's Executive Board, and he gave an account of the workings of the city government as viewed by one who had been in Intimate touch with It. DR. NEILL IS CONFIRMED OVERMAN REFUSES TO E31PIOT DILATORY MEASURES. Question Wliether 'William II. Berry Has "Sympathetic Disposition" Gives Food for Debate. WASHINGTON, May 1. The Senate late today confirmed the nominations of Charles P. Nelll as Commissioner of Labor Statistics: J. F. A. Strong, of Juneau, as Governor of Alaska, and H. M. Smith as Commissioner of Fisheries. The expected opposition to Dr. Nelll did not develop much strength. Sen ator Overman confining himself to a statement of his objections, but refus ing to resort to dilatory tactics. Nearly two hours were spent in a discussion of the reported policy of Secretary Mc Adoo to make changes in the customs service and replace present Incumbents with men "more in sympathy with the Administration. Senator Penrose wanted an investi gation made of the case of Chester W. Bill. Collector of the Port of Philadel phia, who was asked to resign so that a man more in sympathy with the Ad ministration could take his job. Re publicans wanted to know what being In sympathy meant and whether or not William H. Berry, nominated by Presi dent Wilson for the post, had that sort of disposition. A resolution'to investigate Hill's res ignation failed with a quorum not pres ent, and adjournment was taken with this patronage question still unsettled. Berry was not confirmed.

Among- them will be W. W. Cotton. Dr. J. H. Boyd. Dr. Henry Marcotte and C C- Mlchner, the last named of whom will be the chairman of the evening. WEDDING SERVICE BLAMED Suffragettes Ask That Indignities Be Removed From Ritual. LONDON, May 3. (Special.) Not content with burning country houses and committing others outrages the English suffragette is now attacking the marriage service as authorized by the Episcopal Church. The Spiritual Militancy League for the TVomen's Charter of Rights and I ad Liberties has Issued a manifesto whichjcHi has been sent to every clergyman of the Church of England and to all persons whose forthcoming marriage is an nounced in the daily papers. This calls upon all self-respecting men and wo men In England to help create a pub lic opinion that will Induce the Govern ment to constrain by law the authori ties of the State Church to remove from the Anglican marriage rite the follow ing "indignities" both to the spiritual nature of women and to the actual and ideal relationship of husband and wife. "The first indignity is contained in the words 'obey him and serve him,' which the bride is required to repeat, while the bridegroom Is not called upon to profess any equivalent deference of subordination. This Indignity can be removed either by the deletion of the words 'obey him and serve him,' or by the Insertion of the words 'obey her and serve her,' in the corresponding formula to be said by the bridegroom. The second indignity is -Involved In this question put by the minister: "Who glveth this woman to be married to this man? while no corresponding question Is put concerning the man. This Indignity can be removed either by omitting the existing question or by adding to It 'who glveth this man to be married to this woman?' The pres ent one-sided 'give-away' is a humil iating survival of a status for women which will not become wholly extinct until the nation no longer allows Its religious formula to misrepresent and belie the highest practice and Insight of our day. Other "indignities" are said to be aa follows: 'As a symbol of the marriage bond, a ring is placed upon the finger of the bride, while none Is placed upon that of the bridegroom, and in the fact that the bridegroom alone says the follow ing words: "With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow. We maintain that the words "with my body I thee worship' are not only in language offensive, but in idea un worthv of what primarily must be a spiritual sentiment and only second arily physical. The words 'with all my worldly goods I thee endow" never have been true, and have very often been the very opposite of truth, yet undoubtedly have been potent in ere atlnar a false sense of economic de pendence in the heart of the bride. "The prayer after the one beseeching that the two persons shall be rrultrui In the first place asserts that 'out of man woman took her beginning. we protest that this is not only a foolish and unscientific myth, but one degrad ing to women and flattering to an al ready excessive self-esteem on the part of men. This indignity may be re moved simply by omission, but if any thing is to take its place let it be a statement of biological fact as to the differentiation of the sexes; for such scientific fact will In no wise attribute either vital or moral priority to man as contrasted with woman. "The petition is uttered that the man shall love his wife as Christ the Church. But it is false to fact and to the ideal of marriage and demoralizing both to bride and bridegroom that the latter should Imagine that he stands In any such spiritual priority of quick ening power or authority to his bride as Christ to the Church. In the pres ent formula, instead of any such equal ity, the petition concerning the woman Is that she mav be 'loving and amiable. patient and obedient to her husband, and In all quietness, sobriety and peace. be a follower of holy and godly mat rons.' we Insist that as the nusoano should equally comport himself In all letness, sobriety, and peace, and be a follpwer of holy and godly men, he equally should be told so. A warning to women, without any similar warning to men, as to what Is proper for women In dress and de portment. Is uttered. But if women as well as men had been priests when the Prayer Book was made. It is incon ceivable that no equivalent warning hould have been Inserted in the hom ily as to vices peculiar to men." One male commentator somewhat brutally suggests that as no one now ever reads the marriage service the manifesto is much ado about nothing. A more advanced male supporter of the suffragette cause Is endeavoring to form a "Guild of Honor," which has as Its openly avowed object that "all wo men interested in the movement should refuse to bear any children (or any more children, as the case may be) un til their demands are conceded. "Per haps such an action." says this cham pion of woman's wrongs, "would bring the pecple of England to their senses." Meantime the percentage of mar riages is rapidly declining In Kngland and women are toeing treatea witn less nd less respect. Some women are brave enough to say that for these two eflclencles the country has to thank the "outraglst" suffragette. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Stay 1.

Most old people must give, to the bowels some regular help, v else they suffer from constipation. The condi tion Is perfectly naturaL It is . Just as natural as it Is for old people -to walk slowly. For age Is never so ac tive as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles. So all old people need Cascarets. One mlKht as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neerleot this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is impor tant at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. Age is not a time for harsh physics. Touth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need Is a gentle and nat ural tonic One that can be constant ly used without harm. The only such tonio Is Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug itora. They work while you sleep. BUSINESS FCRNTTCRE. HOUSES furnished on Installment, new or fine second-hand furniture. Western Sal vage Co.. 645 Wash. .bet. 16th and 17th. ELECTRIC MOTORS.
