" 0 nan SCHOOL BOOKS run SIZE AS FACTOR REMOVED Xrovisions Tbat Council Could Re voke Permits at Will and Bar ring Minors Unless Vouched For Are Annulled. Three sections of the hotel bonding ordinance, passed by the City Council, in October, 1912, following tne report of the vice commission, were annulled by an order made in Judge Morrow's court yesterday, in the suit brought by Phillip Gevurtz and seven other notei keepers to have the ordinance-declared void. The demurrer to tne complaint, filed by City Attorney Grant and Dep uty Everson, was sustained, leaving the ordinance in full effect except for sec tions three, five and 13, which the court declared void. Section three of the ordinance, which provided that it shall apply only to hotels and lodging-houses with 10 or more rooms was held void by the de cision on the grounds that it is "an unreasonable restriction, not reason ably tending to accomplish the purpose of the ordinance." Section five of the ordinance, which gave power to the Council to revoke at pleasure any permit to conduct a hotel or lodging-house which it may have granted is held void for the rea son that it constitutes a "deprivation of property without due process of law and is an arbitrary denial of the equal protection of the laws." Section 13, which prohibited the let ting of a room at any hotel or lodging house with 10 or more rooms to per sons of opposite sex, one of whom is a minor, unless the applicants have bona fide baggage or are vouched for as husband and wife by a reputable resident of Portland or a member of the police department, is held to be void because it is "an unreasonable restriction upon the conduct of a law ful business." . Bond Is Required. The decision, as it stand?, sustains section 17, which requires a $1000 bond of all lodging houses and hotels which come under the operation of the ordin ance. In as much as the order an nuls the section that provides that only lodging houses and hotels of 10 or more rooms are effected, it leaves the bond feature applicable to every house in the city in which a single room is rented, and brings, under the terms of the ordinance, all apartment houses' in the city. The' suit was brought i.n December, 1912, by Attorney A. E. Clark on be half of Phillip Gevurtz. of the Mult nomah, Mallory and Carlton hotels; Thomas J. Hammer, of the Ockley Ho tel: J. H. Deitz, J. W. Blaney and Ed vard W. Mueller, of the Rowland, Par sons and Minook hotels; J. W. Bushong, of the Netherland Hotel: Frank A. Clark, of the Clark and Clyde hotels, and C. Venable. of the Venable Hotel. The eight plaintiffs alleged that they controlled hotels with approximately 1509 guest rooms. There are 300 ho tels and lodging-houses in -the city which are effected by the ordinance, it . waa charged, 200 of which had author-" ized the plaintiffs to represent them in the suit. Objection was made first to Section three of the -ordinance, which made it npply only to lodging-houses and ho tels with more than 10 rooms offered for rental to, the public. Smaller lodging-houses to the number of about 100 and about the same number of apartment-houses, it was charged, were not affected by the ordinance. Smaller Places Scored. In his brief, submitted to the court on this feature of the ordinance. At torney Clark said that ''it is a matter of public notoriety that the social evil, so-called, and against which the ordinance purports to be leveled, flour ishes most flagrantly In smaller - houses, usually in places of less than 10 rooms. It is also a matter of local history that the evil finds lodgment more frequently in apartment-houses than in hotels and lodging-houses. In thfl apartment - houses the immoral practices become more permanent in their character and therefore more In jurious to community morals." Other features of the vice report were discussed and argued by Attor neys Clark and Everson before the court and in the briefs submitted fol lowing the arguments, the ordinance having been passed as a result of and following the vice srusade in 1912. City Attorney LaRoche, who has taken office since the case was argued and briefs submitted, was unfamiliar with the case and said he could not say just what effect the decision would have, or whether his office would urge any prosecutions under It in the pres ent form. The case was handled dur ing the Grant administration by City Attorney Grant- and Deputy Fred il Everson, both of whom are engaged in private practice now. City Attorney LaRoche said that 1 the ordinance required that the 51000 bond be required of every lodging house where rooms are offered to the public for rental, it would work a hardship which would be unreasonable. Attorney Clark, who brought the suit for the hotel men, said that his opinion, without any consideration of the order, was "that every private home where a Toom 13 rented and all the apartment houses of tho city would be included in the scope of the ordinance, with the three sections annulled. COYOTES SPREAD RABIES Mad Animals Xear Keating and Dur kee Have Xo Fear of Persons. BAKER, Or., March 5. (Special.) Further reports of hydrophobia reached Baker from Durkee and near Keating today. A report from Durkee is that a coyote bit a dog at the Albert Hind man ranch and that the dog yesterday began acting strangely and then bit a steer and a calf, both of which Hind man shot A dog on the same ranch showed symptoms of hydrophobia yesterday and was killed. On the Parker ranch, near the Johnson ranch, one of the Parker boys found a coyote following him yesterday. He let tho animal come within ten feet of him and then shot and killed it with a revolver. A report reached here from Durkee that a coyote, apparently without fear, entered the yard of F. L Snaw's ranch and at tacked a cow and then apparently fearless, ran at Mr. Shaw, who shot and killed it. Klks Klect at Centralis. CENTRALIA, Wash., March 5. (Spe cial!) The Centralia lodge Of Elks elected new officers last night for the ensuing- year. A banquet followed, the election,- The. pew officers, -who SALEM, Or., March 5. (Special.) While visiting in the East Governor West had better keep clear of a cer tain young woman of Camden, N. J. for she has a grievance, 'and she is real angry. Her name Is Miss C. Davis, and she has troubles of her own. ac cording to a letter received from her by the Governor's office today. Miss Davis wrote to the Governor some time ago asking him if he could aid her in finding "some nice young Western man with whom to corre spond." Realizing the advertising value of newspapers and being Dusy aeciar ing martial law in Copperfleld, the Governor gave the letter to the news papermen for publication. Just .how many young men wrote to Miss Davis is not known, but that she received several letters from Salem would-be suitors is susceptible of proof. Whether the dCaradcn miss Is angry because the Governor did everything in his power to help find her correspondents or be cause she has not received tenders of matrimony is a matter for conjecture. However, in herletter to the Governor today she scores him for giving her letter to the press and adds: My good ness gracious! I hope my friends' In Camden will not think I am so hard up for a man. as to advertise the fact all over the country. IDAHO PROFESSOR QUITS RAILWAYS EMPLOY AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION DIRECTOR. W. . H.

Keith is counting on at least 1500 more names when these blanks are turned in. This would give the recall ists between 12,000 and 13,000 names, which they figure provides plenty of margin after illegal signatures have been thrown out by the City Auditor. It is the present plan not to file the recall petitions until late In April, so that the election can be sot for May 15 with the primary election. The Oregon constitution requires that a recall elec tion shall be held within 25 days after a recall petition is filed.

Board at its meeting yesterday that bids for the adoption of textbooks for the schools, which were closed some time ago, will be readvertised for and the competition again thrown open for new bids, not only from those in the original entry, but .also any firms which were not entered in tbat com petition. It is thought by some members of the Board that all of the publishing houses were not cognizant of th Portland textbook selections until it was too late to enter the competition. There are left 15 days in which the board may announce its textbook se lections in the various subjects. It is understood that those firms which have been in active' competi tion for the books will not favor i reopening of the competition on the ground that they went into the mat ter with the understanding that bids were to close on a certain date and that they have expended their time nd energy with that idea in view. Except for the contest among the few concerns soliciting the sale of books to be used in the musical courses in the schools, which will be held on March 16, the final public hearing on textbook matters will be held tonight. when the books on the subjects of history and. geography will be pre sented before the Board by the com peting publishing houses. That further protest will be entered against Frank Rigler's book, "Numbers Step by Step," was indicated at the meeting yesterday, when the Board granted permission to representatives of the Parent-Teacher Associations to appear again before the board to re cite cause why that book should not be continued in the course of study in arithmetic. At the public hearing Tuesday night several members of the associations opposed the adoption of the Rigler book. Mrs. B. E. Cogswell explained that Mrs. F. S, Myers, a prominent worker in the Parent-Teacher Associations, was unable to be present Tuesday night for the Teason that a scarlet fever quarantine had been placed on her home. It was argued further that the members of the association did not come to the public hearing prepared to talk against the measure, not know ing tbat they would be allowed to speak. They will be granted the priv ilege of presenting their views of the ritbmetic question on March 16, when the subject of music will be discussed before the Board.

A surveying crew In charge of En gineer Brandon, of the O.-W. R. & N.. has been in the field for some time making its headquarters at Stanfield. As office rooms have been leased until January 1 it is presumed the work will be completed by that date.

MOSCOW, Idaho, March 5. (Special.) John D. Robertson, Secretary of the Idaho Tax Commission. Is in confer ence with Moscow and Latah County, officials and prominent residents of the county with a view to bringing about equitable taxation of property. The contention is made .here that if Assessor Martinson maintains the same ratio of value in towns of the county that he is carrying in the country, the cities and schools Will be unable at the present levies to raise sufficient revenue to meet require ments. It is also suggested that if values are maintained in cities and villages as they were last year, en abling the mto rais necessary revenues, that the assessment would then be out of proportion to that of country prop erty, which would mean that cities and villages would have to bear the larger proportion of expenses of state and county government.

Effort Being Made to Collect l.r0 for Each Day Mra. Palmer la Held to Testify Against Husband. Mandamus proceedings to compel County Clerk Coffey to pay Mrs. Harry Palmer witness fees will be brought by District Attorney Evans, he an nounced yesterday, unless he can get a favorable ruling on the statute passed by the last Legislature from the Mult nomah Circuit Judges. Mr. Coffey has refused to make a warrant payable to Mrs. Palmer, who has been detained as a witness against her husband on a non-support charge since January, declaring that Mrs. Palmer had not been held in jail, but has been paroled to Miss Margaret Thoroman, of the Associated Charities. "This woman is the complaining wit ness against her husband on a non support charge," said Mr. Coffey, "but has never been confined in Jail, and I don't believe It Is right that she should be paid $1.50 a day. I don't believe the law under which Mr. Evans asks that the warrant be issued is intended to cover such a case. I am glad of the mandamus suit for a Judi cial interpretation of the law, and if the courts, decide that it is the inten tion of the statute to provide for such cases, I will obey the order." The law in question provides that any person who Is held in the county Jail or otherwise detained by the state aa a witness in a criminal case for the reason that be is unable to furnish bond for his appearance before the grand jury or at the trial of any such case, shall be entitled to and shall re ceive as compensation from the coun ty in which the case arose the sum of 1.50 for each and every day and every fraction thereof that he is so held or detained.

States. RESISTANCE TO DISEASE Why is it that one person can work all day standfng in cold water, slush and snow with no harmful effect, while another with less exposure contracts colds, pneumonia, rheumatism, sciatica or something equally distressing and dangerous? Because in the first case the body was in such perfect balance that there was "resistance" to disease. In tho second there was lack of tone that In vited ill health. Keep your system toned up with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and foods that once distressed you will be harmless, exposure will bring no fears of rheu matism and neuralgia and even germ diseases need hardly to be dreaded. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills assist diges tion, correct the lassitude, the palpita tion of the heart, shaky nerves and the pallor of face and lips that are the results of thin, impure blood.
