The art department of the Portland billing system from the monthly plan to the quarterly plan proposed by City Commissioner Daly? This is a question which has arisen from the failure of the Daly plan to meet with the approval of the majority of the Commissioners yesterday. Failure of the measure to pass has resulted- in the water bureau being thrown Into wild disorder In regard to the collection of water rental and it will cost much money to set things into such shape that the affairs can be con ducted in the future as they have- been In the past. Commissioner Daly places the blame upon the shoulders of the other Commissioners, declaring that he had assurance from them that they would stand behind his water plan. Upon the strength of their assurance, he says, he went ahead and changed the water department methods, making large expenditures and arranging af fairs in such shape that the new quarterly billing system, involving as sessment of water rental to property owners instead of to tenants, could be put Into operation as soon as the plan was sdopted. The old way of sending out bills monthly In advance was dis carded and the whole system of the de partment rearranged. Instead of standing behind him. Com missioner Daly charges that all the Commissioners except Mr. Brewster voted against the plan when It came up for final consideration before a mob of persons opposed to the plan. Mayor Albee Disagree. Mayor Albee disagrees with Commis sioner Daly regarding the understand ing that the Daly plan was to be adopted. "That the water department billing has been revised Is news to me," sa:d Mayor Albee yesterday afternoon. "While I am positive that If Mr. Daly says he had assurance of my support he really believed he did, but I had n such understanding. At only one time have I talked with him on the subject, and that was one day when I said to him that I was in favor of a system which would assess rental to property. "I am convinced our present system is not the best In the world, and I favor a change along the fundamental principle outlined In tiie Daly plan, but I do riot favor the Daly plan in all its details. That is why I voted against it." Btaelow Sara lie Kaerr. Commissioner Blgelow. who. Mr. Daly says, helped work out the new water plan, declares that while he agreed with Mr. Daly that the pro posed method was good he was con vinced when he heard the arguments against It that It was not right en tirely. He admits that he knew ex pendtlures lor Its working out were being made in the department, but de clares he did not realize the work had Rone so far that the old system n abolished and the new Inaugurated. Commissioner Dleck says that he has left the proposal with Commis sioner Daly. "I have been certain from night and charged with disorderly con duct.

Dr. Euul protested loudly at her r rest, saying that Mayor Albee had given her permission to speak from the contested corner. Mayor Albee says permission was given to speak on Al der street from the west line of Fourth street to the east line of Sixth, and that they took advantage of his order by setting up their stand on Sixth street, between Alder and Morrison.

Mrs. Johnson al leges, as a result of a transaction In which McKenzie furnished her money to complete the construction of a house In Merlow addition. McKenzie held a mortgage on the place for $2000 and when It was necessary to have more money to complete the house, Mrs. Johnson says she borrowed It from Mc Kenzie, deeding him the property under promise that he would sell the place, hold out the amount of the mortgage and the $500 borrowed, and a sum suffi cient for his services to ber, and pay the balance over to her. The house and lot, Mrs. Johnson al leges, has been sold for $4000, and that there Is now due her the amount asked In the suit. POISON SELLER CHARGED Complaint Against Prngglst Fnllovrs ar-Sulclde. Complaint charging Arthur Geisler, a Mount Scott druggist, with selling poi sonous dfugs without registering and without making sufficient Inquiry as to what they are to be used for, was Issued yesterday by Deputy District Attorney Ryan. It is said Geisler sold the car bolic acid to Charles Bulk, the 17-year-old boy who made ready to attempt suicide Wednesday night. Bulk left notes to his mother and sweetheart, who had jilted him, telling of his plans to take his life, but the timely arrival of Patrolman Drapeau, who found the boy sobbing on the veranda of the girl's home, prevented the use of the poison.

CROWD KNOWS NOT RESULT Albee Takes Matter In Own Hands, Forces Vote and Disgusted Com mission Leaves Chamber With Tew Learning of Vote. While close to 500 Irate persons hooted and Jeered, threw their rtsts wildly Into the air and caused a gen eral scene of commotion, members of the City Commission yesterday voted down the Daly water rental plan by vote of three to two. Commissioners Daly and Brewster voted for the plan, while Mayor Albee and Commissioners Hlgelow and Dleck voted against it. The scene leading up to the vote was even worse than that enacted at the Council meeting last Wednesday morn ing when the Daiy plan was brought up for the first time. Women and men alike participated In the hooting and jeering, and nearly every attempt to rain any control over the crowd and allow a member of the Commission or one of the crowd to speak was In vain. Mayor Albee pleaded with the crowd. but his words were of no avail. Finally, taking the reins In his own hands while the uproar was St its worst, he forced the proposition to a vote, then an nounced the result and adjourned the meeting for an hour. Disgusted with the action of the crowd the Commis sioners left the Council chamber, while tho crowd, not knowing that the vote had been taken, continued tho uproar. Lewrr Floor of Chamber Packed. The lower floor of tho Council cham ber was packed full, and a large num ber of persons were In tho hall unable to edge into tho chamber. Because lection supplies were stored In the gallery of the chamber the doors there were locked. Irate members or tne crowd attempted to batter down the door. For a tltno It was feared a riot call would have to be sent to the police station, but such action was ctaved oft by Mayor Albee, who said he could control the situation. When tho meciine opened the crowi knew that Mayor Albee and Commis sioner Bigelow were opposed to Uie Daly plnn. but they did not know how Commissioners Brewster and Dleck stood. Immediately the crowd began asking for an expression of opinion from the Commissioners regarding the plan. Mr. Daly, author of the water plan which provided for the assessing of water rental to property owners rather than to tenants, was the first to speak. He declared that every mem ber of the Commission was agreed that the principle of his plan was correct, but he was convinced that they did not all believe possibly that the prin ciple was being worked out properly. "Other cities have adopted the plan, id Mr. Daly, "and not one of them has abandoned It." Brewster's Talk Hooted. Commissioner Brewster then arose and declared that he favored the plan and would vote for it. This brought thunder of Jeers and hoots. Only after much effort was the crowd brought into order ogain. 'Your opposition to. the plan, con tinued Mr. Brewster, unmoved by the demonstration, "is due to lack of infor mation. If there Is any criticism to be given Mr. Daly in this proposition it irf the criticism that he has not euucaieu the people up to the plan. Those who stand here opposed to the plan are op posed because they haven t taken tho trouble to look into it- The unpopu larity of the measure is due to ignor ance of its meaning and importance. Commissioner Dieck said he belle veu the Daly plan had merit, but was be ing presented at an Inopportune time. My vote against tho plan will not do because It la not practical or right, but because the time la not opportune for Its adoption. But you will have to come to it in some form sooner or later." Commissioner Bigelow declared that he believed the principle of the pla.- was right. "Perhaps it has not been worked out In exactly the right way. but I believe It can be so worked out that there will be no objection to It." Mayor Albee said: "I believe the plan has merit. Objection to It his nnt 'Is the Housewife's Greatest Help. WHAT so tempting to the laggard appetite as a light, flaky, fruit short cake or a delicate hot biscuit? Royal makes the perfect short cake, biscuit and muffin, and improves the flavor and health! ulaess of all risen flour foods. It renders the biscuit, hot bread and short cake more di gestible and nutritious, at the same time making them more attractive and appetizing. Royal Baking Powder is in dispensable for the preparation all the year round of perfect foods. been based upon the proposition tha the water rates are charged to property but because property owners will lose money by the plan. I believe that the principle is right and that It will carry In a modified form at some later time.' All manner of shouts from the crowd caused Commissioner Daly to arise main and speak. "I have tried to be unoffVnNire to anybody in the consider ation of this proposition." ho said, "but I believe the opposition to this plan has not been Ju.it. I don't believe in certain interests sending up delega tions to conduct themselves like ti.ec people have conducted themselves at tho last two meetings. The other day wo had a meeting which was packed by the Kealty Board and certain big rental organizations. I believe this measure is right, and I would believe 30 if every other man In tho city be lieved it was not." Then came more commotion which brought H. D. Wasnon to his feet for a talk. "I appear h"re for the widow, the poor man and the person who does not own property from which to secure revenue; the person who Is your ten ant." said Mr. Wagnon. Immediately wild disorder set n again. Wagnon was hooted and jeered. Shouts of "sit down" and "shut up" and "choke bim." resounded from every side. Undisturbed by the commotion end hoots Wagnon continued until his voice was drowned out by the noise. He con tinued to talk, however, shouting at the top of his voice. Mayor Albee tried to quiet the crowd, but was unable. He then took the situation in hand and yellod to S. Grutze, clerk of the Coun cil, to call the roll on the passage of the Daly ordinance. Mr. Grutze could not hear the vote, but ascertained from signs by the Commissioners how they wanted to vote. The vote of 3 to 2 against the ordi nance was announced by the Mayor while the commotion still prevailed and Mr. Wagnon still held the floor. Rap ping violently on the table with a gavel failed to bring about order, so upon motion of the Mayor the meeting ad journed for an hour. At the end of that time the crowd had thinned down to such an exti-nt that other business of tho session could be transacted.
