Is INVESTIGATION IS BEGUN was fined $25 for tho game law vio lation. - F. A. Mills, chef at the Hazel-wood, pleaded not gruilty for failing to tag two pheasants found in the ice-box at that resort. He disclaimed any knowledge of the birds. Judge Jones was not certain that Mills could be held to blame and dismissed the action. W. D. Allen, proprietor of the Golden West hotel, was fined i'2o on his plea of guilt. Victims In Both Instances Are in Same Neighborhood Physi cians to Discuss Situation. Two deaths resulting from "sleep ing sickness," technically known as lethargic enephalitis, have occurred in Portland during the last week and another case now is under surveil lance. The prevalence of the disease until last night was unknown by the city health authorities because the cases were said not to have been re ported to the city health bureau. The discovery resulted from the death certificates entered in connec tion with the two fatal cases, both of which gave the cause of death as lethargic enephalitis. The two persons who succumbed to the disease were Kedele Laccomanno, 37, a bootblack, who resided at 601 Fourth street, and Mary Sturdevant. 23 years old, who lived at 602 Front street. Mr. Laccomanno was the first victim, dying on October 27 after an illness of seven days. Miss Sturde vant died on October 30, her death also following an illness of but short duration. Victims in Same A'elghborhood. The fact that both victims live In the same neighborhood, the homes being but four blocks apart, will re sult in an investigation by the health authorities to ascertain if by any pos sible chance, the disease had been transmitted, and if so, how. The name and address of the third party was not available at the health office last night. It being said that City Health Officer Parrish had been informed of a suspicious case and that arrangements had been made for the city health officer to accompany the physician in charge of the case sometime today. Observation of the two fatal cases was made by competent medical authorities who insist that there is no doubt that the death in both in fitnces resulted from "sleeping sick ness." These same authorities are responsible for the statement that the third case is probably also of the dreaded disease. Disease Is Communicable. Although "sleeping sickness" Is generally understood to be in the communicable disease list and hence should be reported to the health bu reau, there is no specific ordinance covering the point. This is possibly the reason that reports were not made, according to City Health Offi cer Parrish. Immediate steps will be taken by the city health authorities to obtain the passage of an ordinance to require reports even on suspicious cases. The regular meeting of the City and County Medical society tonight in the Portland hotel is expected to take up discussion of the situation. Drs. Leon Wolf and O. A. Thornton, who treated the Sturdevant and Laccomanno cases, as well as the other medical men who were called in for observation, will lrobably take part in this discussion. A general opinion prevails that "sleeping sickness" is fatal in all in etances, but according to competent medical men such is not the case. It is said that about 20 per cent of the victims of the disease succumb, while the remaining 80 per cent recover without any apparent ill effects.

WALKER'S REPLY DELAYED MAYOR'S CHOICE FOR CHIEF DUE IN MINNEAPOLIS. BISHOP PLEASED AT CONVENTION'S WORK VOTING MACHINE STUDIED Governor and State Treasurer Witness Demonstration. SALEM, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) A late model voting uachine such as are used in King county. Wash., was exhibited here today in the presence of Governor Olcott, also acting in the capacity of Secretary of State, and O. P. Hoff, state treasurer, compris ing the Oregon board of examiners of voting machines. Lnder a law passed at the 1909 legislature, it is necessary for this board to license some make of voting machine before it may be operated in connection with elections held in this state. Before a license will be granted the machine exhibited here today, a skilled ma chinist will be employed to make an investigation of the device and re port to the board of examiners. Persons accompanying' the ma chine here said there was some de mand for simplified methods of con ducting elections in Oregon, and that an effort would be made to sell sev eral of the devices in Portland. From now on game birds held in the ice-boxes of some of Portland's leading hostelries and clubs are apt to be properly tagged in compliance with the fish and game laws as the result of six arrests by game war dens and several fines distributed by District Judge Jones yesterday. Suspicion that ducks and pheasants were being sold in more or less elite circles led to raids on the refrig erators where numerous game birds were discovered, none tagged by game wardens. While E. H. Clark and J. J. Craig, deputy game war dens, believed that in some cases the birds actually were shot by patrons, there was nothing to show that they had not come from the commercial "sportsmen" known to be busy in the game-bird regions. Seventeen wild ducks were discov ever in the ice-box of the Multnomah hotel. L. E. Tewksbury, maitre-de-hotel, was arrested and fined J-25. He admitted his guilt but pleaded ig norance of the law. He insisted that the birds had been brought in by a guest. Deputy Game Warden Clark said there had been several complaints that wild ducks had been served at the Multnomah. The case of D. H. Gowans, chef of the Arlington club, where 30 ducks were found on ice, was tontinued until today. Henry Thiele, Benssn hotel chef was among those against whom com plaints were sworn, but did not come up for hearing yesterday. There were 23 game birds discovered in the refrigerator at this hotel.

Thus far Governor Olcott has held that he will not summon a special session of the legislature for that purpose, unless the vote of Oregon is actually and pressingly needed to complete the two-thirds ratification vote by states, or unless the legisla tive members will request the special session and agree to attend without expense to the state. Next in Importance, from the local viewpoint, will be the proposal that a league of women voters be organ ized in Oregon.

Selection or Portland for Assembly In 1922 Will Mark Epoch in History of Church. Home from the national convention of the Protestant Episcopal church. held at Detroit, Mich., Bishop Walter T. Sumner of the diocese of Oregon alighted at Union station last night with a smile -of satisfaction at the fact that Portland will be the con vention city in 1922. Bishop Sumner, who left for Detroit a month ago and who has been In constant attendance at the three-week session of the church assembly. Bays inat the 1918 convention was remark able for its clean-cut progress and the absence of theological bickerings. "It was distinctly a constructive as sembly." !aid Bishop Sumner, "and of great advantage to the future of the church. A number of important steps were taken, resulting in the reorgani zation of the church machinery. For example, the conventions, held at three-year periods, have heretofore been in charge of a presiding bishop. By action taken at the Detroit assem bly a committee of 24, comprising ishops, the priesthood and the laity. will have charge of future conventions. Portland's Selection Gratifying;. The selection of Portland as the convention city three years from now gratifying and will be of distinct advantage to this city. Not less than 5000 delegates will attend, represent- ng the best citizenry of the nation. They will come from every state. from Alaska, the Philippines, the Hawaiian islands. In 135 years this is the first time. with one exception, that a Pacific coast city has been designated. Twenty-five years ago the assembly was held in San Francisco. At all other times eastern cities have been accorded the honor. Phil adelphia was in the field this time, and was in a position of superior strength, inasmuch as that city had been an unsuccessful contender three years ago. By custom the convention choice would have fallen to Phila delphia this time. 'But I looked about me at the accommodations furnished by Detroit, and I contrasted them with the splen did auditorium we have in Portland and with on other excellent facili ties for handling a huge convention, Anditorlnm Is Promised. Acting upon the Impulse. I sent a message to Mayor Baker, and wa assured that the auditorium would oe reserved ror tne tnree-week ses sion day and night. Another mes sage to the Chamber of Commerce brought similar assurance of hearty support. so we introduced Portland as candidate for the 1922 convention. It was an unheard-of procedure, almost without precedent, and we did not win the point without a fight. But in the end ail concurred and Port land was named." Bishop Sumner estimated that the cost of entertaining the 1922 assem bly will approximate $25,000, and ex pressed confidence that the sum could be raised without difficulty, During the progress of the Detroit assembly, Mrs. Sumner visited at her former home in Negaunee, Michigan, where Bishop Sumner also paid a brief visit before returning to Port land. ......
