8 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1020 GENERAL CLEAN-UP Rubbish Hosts Fall Before I Children's Onslaught. ENEMY FORTS ARE BURNED Boy Scoot Divisions Rally and Save Warriors From Lure ot Circus Furlough. '' Massed forces of General Clean-Up attacked Irvington and Rose City Park yesterday. The enemy, en- trenched in great masses of brush 'yon vacant lots and armed with hun- 'dreds of thousands of old and rusty tin cans, was routed and his arms ' confiscated and destroyed. And didn't Lieutenant Kdward Boat C right of the Fire Marshal's ofice count over 300 brush fires in Irving ton alone celebrating the great " "push" of hundreds of school children. At one time it seemed as if the -enemy might secure control after all. Z for there was a strong sentiment among the attacking forces to quit Z. the fight and use the holiday to visit ; the circus, but the strong morale of the Boy Scout divisions saved the ;day. . The Civic league and the Kiwanls had charge of the work, and the re .sult. observers said, was even greater than on the first day. Z' Such a vigorous attack was made - on the accumulated piles of brush in the vacant lots to the north of Sullivan's gulch that the fire depart r ment had scores of calls that a great Z forest fire was raging in Holladay Park. Four Tlnndrci Scouts Report. Four hundred Boy Scouts reported t. for duty, armed with hoes, rakes and " brooms. A reserve detachment had fcpades and each pile of old cans dis covered was buried without oere- mony. A few householders tried to " induce the children to clean up their ;own premises, but the youthful leaders promptly ordered them to clean up their property, and backed -it up with official mandate. T One feature of the day was the hundreds of persons who dabbled around with a can of paint and a " brush putting finishing touches On the work children had done around r the home. The captain of fire station 8 re-.- ported that every vacant lot had Xbeen cleared and that every slide on a sidewalk had been scraped, spaded -T away and swept. At fire station 13 ; 150 enthusiastic children reported in a body Immediately school dismissed, " and it took the entire available fire ;' force to keep them all busy. "And what a job they did," said "the captain, admiringly, t . Captain Pralara Children. "I think we had the championship .Boy Scout troop of the entire city," said Captain Stevens of station 18. 'l never saw such gluttons for work. Some of the boys thought they would Z dash Off to the circus, but the lads of troop 77 did not see it that way." H. M. Barr, principal of the Irv lington school, spoke enthusiastically -of the manner in which young Irv ington dashed to the attack. He de , rlared it was the most successful ef . fort ever conceived. : Then, to add joy to the heart of the clcan-up forces, there came to -Portland William Williams ot Seattle, who superintended the clcan-up in the Puget sound city. " Mr. Williams was taken out to the firing line. Even his Seattle spirit was not proof against the expression of his admiration. . Seattle Spirit Applands. : "This is certainly far finer than anything we accomplished," he said. Z Eighty Boy Scouts responded in Rose City Park, and approximately - 200 auxiliary children from the T schools, but the open spaces there - are great and nearly every home kept C a wee chap or more busy cleaning up the family premises. Scavenger wagons cannot collect . " individual can and rubbish accumula tions. These are too many and must be handled by the regular garbage men,, declared clean-up leaders. The special wagons are to take care of the big accumulations on vacant lots, etc. ew Sectors Active Today. The schools in central East Port- land and Laurelhurst will close to 1 day and the campaign there will be k under the direction ot the East Side Business Men's club and the firemen in that section. Mount Tabor and Montavllla will be stormed by the Hoy Scouts and school children of - those sections at the same time. The t. Rotary club will direct the Monta- r villa-Mount Tabor effort. "Spade up the rose beds, paint the front porch, spruce up the front lawn ; and generously get ready for inspec- tion," said P red O. Brockman, gen " tral chairman of clcan-up. In a mes " sage to the householders of the city "Portland will be judged Shrine r week, hot by what she is, but by ; how she looks. Let's put oh a good Z. front. Let's clean up, scour up, wa6h T up, sweep up, scrape vip and paint up.1 What especially pleased the fire men was that despite the hundreds ; of burning pyres, not a single fire required the actual attention of the T department. "Portland boys and girls certainly obeyed instructions and were care ful," said Marshal Grenfell. - BANK ANNOUNCES BONUS S Per Cent of Salary Given Em ployes iu Service Year or More. Employes of the Ladd fc Tilton . bank were informed yesterday of i- action at a meeting of the board of directors in authorizing payment a bonus of & per cent of annua - salaries to all who have been in service of the Institution for one year or more ana ot a sum commensurate with their term of service for those employed less than one year. .

DEMOCRATS EYE OREGON REBUKE TO PRESIDENT HOPE OF PARTY LEADERS. Outcome of Chamberlain - Stark weather Race Expected to Have Bearing on Future. OBEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, May 18. Democratic eyes here in Washington are riveted on the Oregon primary next Friday, and the most of these ftlances are cast that Way by democrats who hope for a distinct and unmistakable re buke to President Wilson. If Senator Chamberlain wins, and private reports from Oregon reaching here say he will, scores of men prom inent in the democratic leadership ill be gratified almost beyond the point of containing themselves. Those democrats who have espoused the Lodge reservations to the peace treaty declare that It is up to Oregon dem ocrats to tell the president "where to head in." Having convinced themselves that President Wilson's recent telegram to Gilbert E. Hamaker at Portland was deliberately planned to defeat Sen ator Chamberlain, the word has been Quietly passed out that the time has arrived to make a firm stand against Woodrow Wilson and his policies. No quarter Is to be given the president and the few scattering followers here in the east who still stand loyally by him. The Oregon contest, therefore, is now regarded as a national and not a mere local affair, because the out come of the tug-of-war between George E. Chamberlain and Harvey G. Starkweather is expected to reveal the growing political weakness of the president. If Senator Chamberlain -wins, dem ocrats opposing the president will take heart to carry the fight into every contest in any state where Wilson policy or a Wilson candidate is involved. Meanwhile It is understood that perfect serenity reigns at the White House because of assurances from the Starkweather forces in Oregon that their candidate Is bound to win LICENSE FEES REQUESTED 10,000 Notices Mailed by Office ot , State Commissioner.

CAR FARES CAUSE OF ROW POIXTED TAIjK EXCHANGED AT HOUSEWIVES' COCXCIX. Supporter and Opponent of Relief Measures Indulge In Warm Personal Attacks. Arguments on the street-car fare situation" turned to pointed personali ties at the session of the Housewives' council yesterday, when Edward M. Cousin, candidate for public service commissioner, attacked statements made by 11 Levins, president of the Woodmere Community club. The lat ter had been asked to address the meeting, as he had espoused the pas sengers' cause when the hearing took place before the public service com mission. Mr; Levins had just explained his views and advocated that the three relief measures doing away with cer tain of the company's imposts receive favorable vote at the coming election. Then Mr. Cousin took the floor. 'Lastr Friday," he plunged In, "I vis ited the birthplace of this infamous propaganda and Its father. If he is riot in the employ of the Portland Railway Light & Power company, he ought to be. I charge Mr. Levins here and now with having instituted these measures for the company. Further more, I challenge him to a debate next Thursday night at the library." The speaker paused Impressively and Mr. Levins replied: "Mr. Cousin's statements are un true, and he knows them to be un true," he said decisively. "I did not come here to Indulge In personalities. I am no debater and if I were one I would not beet a man who knowingly deals in untruths; a man Who has been publicly branded as an office seeking political charlatan, whose election would be a calamity to the state and its people." With no further words Levins left the hall. Beer Bill Veto Attack Fails. BOSTON, Mass., May 18.
