D SEATTLE COMMERCIAL BODIES CALL FOR FAIR STATE RE. APPORTIONMENT Senators Piptr and Nichols Stir Up Storm About Ears of Lefislatora Who Have Hade Deal With Pierce Delega tion King County Entitled to El even More Members Under Census. Men CuredQuickly ONLY THE SUNDAY OREGON'IAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 25, 1910. MEN SEATTLS, Wash-. Dec M. SpeclaL Seattle commercial organisations nave broken into ths struggle far a Just apportionment by ths next Legisla ture. Tblr attitude, as gauged by a isola tion adopted by the Chamber of Commerce after conferences with the Rotary Club nd the Commercial Club, Is an Indorse ment of trio stand taken by Senator Oeonr L". Piper and Senator Ralph H. Nichols, and al the same time tt Is a constructive rebuke to the sis Senators. Jarkmo. Whallsy. Coil Ins. Howrn. Lin Sun and Allen, who bars pledged their support to ths Peree County candidate for president of the Senate. Tne Chamber of Commerce waa thoroughly In earnest, aa a body of con servative business men. when It went into the question at a recent meeting. Penator Plpr. who from the beginning has aloc'l for a united and unpledged sWecatlon. said that to his mind tt was a peculiar k'nd of logic" that could fig ure any advantage to King County from ths present state of affairs. There ensued an uncomfortable hejf hour for Senator Allen, wbo found him self spokesman for absent colleagues. M. J. Carkeek addressed his remarks to Al len. "In politic," ha said, "these things are the subject of trade. I would like to ask what you obtained for King County when you bartered away your votes? You must have something of some kind to show for that deal?" Allen deprecated the use of tha word barter" and said Anally that the Sena tors who bad pledged themselves bad not mad a trade at all. Charles P. Spooner remarked that, while he had been a resident of Seattle for only a few year n that time he had become ac quainted with political history for a gen eration; and. If ha read tt right. King r'ounty would make a mistake to deliver Itself over to the tender mercies of Its ancient enemy. Pierce. Itcaolntlons Are Reproof. If the discussion before ths Chamber of Commerce waa a criticism of the Sen ator, the adootlon of the resolution waa no less a reproof for tnem. The report was submitted by a committee of which F. W. Baker waa chairman. Baker has been In many a fight for King County nnder the direction of the business men. He brought out the fact that the business Interests of Seattle and King County regard a reapportionment based upon the 13th census as paramount. "In that. If King County Is accorded Just representa tion and the apportionment la made ac cording to the constitution, It will give four Senators and seven Representatives additional and give a total voting strength of X In the Legislature against IS now." After reciting the fact that only Piper and Nichols have refused to concur In the pledge to Pierce County, the report continues : The majority of the delegation stated to your committee that they had received no assurance from Henalor Paulhamus aa to what the Pierce County delegation would do la return for this support other than his personal word that taeofar ss his Influence weat It would be thrown In an effort to pe sure a fairer apportionment tor Kins County. While this Is daubtlrea true, a majority of the members of the committee are of the opinion that such an alliance under the rlr rumatancea Is a risky procedure, la that nnder the reapportionment Pierce County will probably not he entitled to Increased representation, whereas Hpoaane and other roomies whoee rstlo of growth has been larser are entitled to Increased, membershtp- Tour committee Is sot Inclined st this time to predict that this alliance will result dis astrously to the Interests of King County, hut plmp'y desires to recite the facta In order that the business Interests' of this city aad county may be rarolllsr with them to tha ead thst the responsibility for sny failure to secure our share of Increased representation, should such be the outcome, may be definitely Baed. Heals and Trades Sot Known. Representative Howard D. Taylor, who Is the choice of the majority for speaker of the House, bas assured yuur committee that ths Interests of this county will be fully I ever, yeur committee Is not familiar with the political oeais and trauea maoe oy inr members of tile House of Representatives leading up to the selection of the speaker, and for tata reason Is unsble to sive sny assurances of Its own knowledge ss to what extent the Interests of this city snd county will be protected In thai branch of lbs Leg tslsturs. There Is no question In the minds of the committee thst In Its present ststus svery member of the delegation In both the upper snd lower houses Is thoroughly Impressed with the necessity of using avery endeavor to bring about a fair reapportionment. If failure results It will probably be due. not to a lack of loyalty on the part of the King County delegation, but to errors nu.1t by the members In forming alliances with conflicting Interests from which this couuty can expect little or no support. In conclusion, it Is urged thst svery Im provement club, business msa and other civic Interest Impresses upon the respective aen ators and Representatives from this or Its district the fact that each will be held strictly accountable for any fsllurs to ob tain for this county that apportionment to Which It Is entitled. Embracing practically cne-fourth of the population of the state of Washington a.id paying approximately 3o per cent of the gross revenues through taxation, this county Is entitled to a voice In legislation which only its full representstlon can give. The state constitution makes It Imperative that ths legislature apportion and district anew the members of the senate and House of Reprcsentallvss according to the number of Inhabitants, and your committee has based Its demands urW the delegation solely span the rights of this county In ths premi ses sod hereby specifically disclaims sny de sire to obtain Increased representstlon at the expense of other snd smaller counties, rest ing Its clstms solely upon the mandate of the constitution and Its right to demand of our delegation that they aubordlnsts s'.l slse to getting that to which this county is entitled. Six Senators in Plight. It Is beginning to be arparent that the sis Senators do not relish the plight In which they And themewlvea In effect. they have given assurances that the ap portionment will be all teat coma oe desired under the constitution and the laws: but If for some reason the con flicting Interests of different part" of the eeate Jeopardise the rights of King County, the tax Senators will be charged with having thrown away their oppor tunities. Such is the plain meaning of the Biker resolution now a part 01 tne records of tre Seattle Chamber of Com merce. In this predicament there la a tendency imoni legislators to let King County drift until the Legislature Is convened. There has been too much talking to suit some members of the delegations, both In Senate and House, and now they are anxious to reassure their constitu ent. They say everything will be all ' right: but they are not anie to give any reason for the faith that la In them, further than that Pierce County bas said so. Among; the members anxious to apply the soft-pedal is Howard Taylor, of Kagle Gorge, who has been indorsed for Speaker of the House. He says: I regret very much the publicity which hss been given to the efforts of King County l legislators to secure support for the re apportionment bill. Agitation or tnis nuta tion right now. I feel sure, will be hurt ful. If it Is Indicated hers at horns thst the King County delegation lacks the support and confidence of the commercial and civic organisations, we cannot accomplteh much. If we are not meddled with we will be In a better position to do the best thing pos sible for King County. The foregoing statement Is made on the heels of a declaration that Pierce County has abandoned hs effort to se cure an Increases In Its representation, equal, man for man. to sny Increase that may he obtained by King. It Is also coupled with an Inference that J. H. Davis, of Pierce, would be named as chairman of . the House appropriations committee. Chairmanship Offered King. Also there la a bit of gossip. afloat that King County will be given the cliairmaif shlp of the Senate committee on reap portionment. If thiei Is true, the logical member for the place. In point of serv ice and special fitness. Is Piper. But whether he would take It. If offered. Is doubtful. I'nder . present conditions, with fix of the eight Senators assuming an attitude contrary to htn Judgment, he might be Inclined to say that the chair manship ought to go to one of them, and with it the odium that would inevitably accompany failure. Piper does not agree with Taylor that the discussion of appor tionment ought to be hushed up. Ho favors publicity lots of It to the end that all the people of the state may understand what Is going on. One of the moot points) Is the attitude of Spokane County. The six Senators here have been Inclined to boast a little that Spokane would stand with King In any event; and that Spokane's five votes, along with one (that of Paulhamua) In Pierce, would come pretty close to help ing King out of a tight box. But Piper contends that the action of King Coun ty has released 8pokane from any ob ligation whatever. Spokane had a can didate, Rosenhaupt. for President of the Senata; and with the support of King County assured, the entire delega tion, Huxtahle. Whitney, Hutchinson and Shafer. would have swung Into line with King. But it Is probable now that, If anv result Is accomplished with Spo kane. It will come through the efforts! of Piper himself and will be based on cloe association with the Senators from that county and strong personal friendship for them. Spokane Entitled to More. The facts are that, under the oensust, Spokane Is entitled to gain one Senator and perhaps one Representative, making the total six Senators snd II Representa tives. The growth of tfpokane County Is one or tue surprises or me census, u has now a population of 139,404. and therefore has gained a long lead on Pierce, which has only 120.818 so that Snokane can secure Increased represen tatlon more easily than Pierce. King County has 2S4.K. If the Senate Is to be Increased to Its run memoersnip 01 49 and the House to Its full member ship of Ss. there will be one Senator for each 23.300 population and one Repre sentative for about each 12.000. There fore, If Spokane gains one Senator, King Is entitled to gain four, riper anxiety In to see that the county actually secures the representation to which It is clearly entitled under the cersue, and for that reason he continue to puncture the ex cuses offered by his .associates for tneir Implied alliance with Pierce. SAN FRANCISCO'S CHARMING SOCIETY GIRLS NOW WANT TO AVIATE Darin. Aeroplane Trip of Miss Elinor. Sears. Boston Girl. Will Be Followed by Fair Sex at January Meet Around T inform Aerial Coarse School Principal Asks Board of Education to Reject Blondes as Teachers. FT HARRY B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. St. tSpecial.V Four charming society girls, full of aviation enthusiasm and confidence in aeroplane stability, will follow the daring of Ellnora Sears and fly with the blrdmen In the great aviation meet to be held In San Francisco in Janu ary. They are Was Anna Peters. Miss Elyso Schults. Miss Frances Stewart and Miss Ethel Shorb. all of whom eagerly accepted the Invitation of the directors of the meeting to be pas sengers around the Tanforan aerial course. Miss Enid Gregg, who is now in Honolulu, has been Invited to visit the skis. In a biplane while a score more of society girls are anxiously awaiting Invitations. The honor of being the first woman to ride In a flying machine during the Tanforan meeting probably will be ac corded to Mrs. Paul Beck, wife of the Army lieutenant, who has taken aa actlvj part In the arrangementa and who is to conduct the wireless tele graph tests from the air machines for the Government. This Is because Mrs. Beck waa the first woman to request the privilege. Military Features manned. . , Tha military featurea are Increasing every day. thanks to sensational sug gestions advanced by the Wright and Curtlss men. between whom there Is considerable rivalry for the Govern ment patronage, Ulenn Curtlss. who scored 13 hits out of 17 while hurling bombs from an elevation of IOCS feet at miniature battleship, says all records for marks manship will be broken at the meet ing. He has toM the committee that If they will select a battleship, his men will guarantee to bit Its vulnera ble parts. Army men who witnessed the maneu vers of the Curtlss men at Sherpshead. declare the sending of extensive wire less messages from the aeroplanes was the only thing remaining to guarantee the usefulness of the flying machine la war. At Tanforan. Lieutenant Beck will receive and send messages by wireless and demonstrate for the Gov ernment that a small scouting party with aeroplanes can cover miles of ter ritory and keep headquarters in touch wltn what la happening within the eaemy'a lines. Goose hunting from the biplane la another novelty that may be attempted although Frank Dolllvary. a San Fran cisco sportsman, has protested to the State Fish and Game Commission, on the ground that the successful use of the aeroplane la hunting would estab lish a dangerous precedent. Practical ly all of the funds to finance the aviation meet have been guaranteed, ao the announcement la made. Vtnplan Urania fut. A Utopian dream which has) as Its project the enablter.ment of a great rail way terminal on Verba Buena Island, better known as Goat Island, large enough to accommodate the traffic of a a dozen transcontinental roads has been broached It Is hardly likely that the present generation will ere this brought sbout but it must be admitted that tha scheme reads well. The proposal Is to level Terba Buena Island and Join It to the Oakland line of the bay by a -broad roadwa supported on great arches of cement and steeL The bland belongs U the Government but the orglnators of the Idea think that mete Sam would gladly turn the prop erty for the use of the public. It would mean a saving of from seven to ten minutes In time between San Francisco and transbay point. Of course, there will still have to be ferry boata or an underground tunnel from 8 an Fran cisco to Verba Buena Island but that little detail Isn't bothering the promoters. Conservative business men say that the scheme Is feasible and that It would be of great .mportance to this section of C.IU...I. Principal Joseph I. Manor, oi tne Long fellow grammar school of San Jose, baa submitted a report to the Board of Edu cation in which he asks that body to re frain from appointing blondes to posl tlona as teachers. He gives as hist resson that the blondes are more susceptible to matrimony and that therefore. It Is an Impossibility, to keep a blonde In the school department. This report Is the result of the marriage of two of the teachers st the Longfellow school within the last two weeka MKht Queens Killed Here. The reported marriage of May Tobe, formerly Lady Hope of England, for the third time, and the denial by her alleged husband thks week, and the marriage for the second time of Nan Patterson at St. Paul, recalls how they at one ttme. to gether with Truly Phattuck. constituted a trio of beautiful young queens, the de spair of the rich young men of San Fran cisco. AH have bsd tragedies In their lives. It will be remembered how soma IS years ago. Truly Shattucka mother shot and killed Harry Poole, one of her daughter's admirers. This was when Truly, a ravish ing blonde of the statuesque type, was a member of ths Tivoli Opera-House Com- . v. fw-m . a nf m 1 1 tha Jnhnntea. pwuj aw - ' - Her career bss been by no means sa checkered as that or tne oiner two former beauties. Truly. In her lster years, met with success In the German music balls. She is said to be down on her luck now In New York. May Tohe'ei remarkable career In viola tion of all the convention Is an old story. She wag on the street only the other day and there are only traces left of her once dashing brunette beauty. Nan Patterson never came back to San Francisco after her trial In New York for the shooting of Ceasar Toung, the racetrack man. More even than May Yohe. she led the gayest of gay lives along the local primrose path with Ceasar Toung and other men. Life with her was all centered In the night life. 'Cartoon Members"' Latest, One of San Francisco's leading social clubs, with nation-wide reputation for its entertainments, has a new class of mem bers, known among the Initiated as "car toon members " So desirable are these members that no matter how long-the waiting list, the "cartoon members'" are Jumped over them all and made fun ded red brothers. The duties of the "cartoon member" are to entertain the guests of the club. He must stng a good song, tell a good story, hsre sn unlimited supply of jokes, be full of mimicry and otherwise be sad or gay, according to the disposition of those he la to entertain. When a gueat bearing the card of an other club or one secured for him by a member. Is found to be a dull fellow and a bore by those who come In contact with him. the "cartoon member " Is put In action. Big Police Shake-1" p Promised. Tha biggest shake-up that the police department of Baa Francisco has ever experienced Is promised by Chief of Po lice John Seymour, who says that with the aid of the Police Commissioners he will carry out his plans. He Intends to bring about a reorganisation of the police that will embrace nearly OKI men and change the beat of every patrolman, cor poral and sergeant In San Francisco. Re ports of crime wherein the police failed to make arrests Is the cause of this out burst. Many of the men assigned to patrol duty In districts where hold-ups and bur glaries have occurred recently have been seen loafing around saloons and clubs in stead of making the rounds of their beats. Willis Polk, a well-known San Fran cisco architect, on behalf of the greater highway development, has applied to the Park Commissioners for a franchise to build a miniature railway on . the great highway from the Cliff House to Sloat boulevard, a distance of about three miles. He said that the road probably would cost 3300.000 and the fare would not he in excess of & centa. He also of fered to turn over the railroad tracks and equipment to the city when the company la repaid for its outlay, with a fair rato of interest, probably within 30 years. Polk haa promised to erect ten convenient stations to be maintained by his com pany and to haul loam and material for the park gratis. NEW POWDER TO BE USED l'ltotog-rapher Invents Explosive Adapted for French Infantry. PARIS, Dec 24. (Special.) The French army Is about to adopt a new and superior powder for the infantry. This is the Invention of Ernest Oul ehard. s photographer of Louls-le-Sa-vfeur. Exhaustive experiments on the Monteril range proved that a cartridge charged with the new explosive fired from the Lebel rifle penetrated 733 millimeters, while one fired with the regulation M. powdeV had a penetra tion of only S3S millimeters. The new explosive Is slow burning; and consequently develops great pro pulsive force. It doea not corrode the weapon and only fouls It to one-half the extent of the M. powder. Its most valuable quality, however, la Its freedom from deterioration It Is not affected either by heat or damp, nor does It explode from either shock or pressure. Finally, It Is absolutely without smoke or smell. GRUESOME IS EXPERIENCE Russian Police Boss Opens Two "Awful Jars" Thought Bombs. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec 24. (Special.) But for prompt and effectual measures a trifling accident which has happened In the Russian capital might have brought about very serious results. While on his way from the railway depot to his hotel, an Odessa doctor lost a wooden box. A woman saw It fall out of ths drossy and, picking it up, carried It to the police office. To a St. Petersburg police boss every mysterious-looking parcel Is suspicions, for he and his like live In daily terror of bombs. But his duty was manifest so.

The OREGON MEDICAL INSTITUTE 2S closed, containing the internal organs of a human body preserved In spirits. Somewhat at a loss how to uphold his character aa a sleuth, the police boss was about to open one of the Jars, when an excited Individual rushed Into the office and beseeched him to desist as the Jars held the digesting machinery of a man who had died or the plague. The official, thoroughly frightened by this time, further learnt that the human relics wero being taken to the Univer sity of Helslngfors for medical examina tion. Almost before the explanation was fin ished, the Chief of Police and the sani tary authorities were summoned to the office to deal with the scare. The prem ises were at once disinfected and Isolated and everyone In the building sent Into quarantine, the Jars themselves being forwarded to the nearest laboratory. FAST FUN AT HORSE SHOW London Coster Vocalists Compete for Live Donkey. Ii)XDON. Dec. 2-t Speclal.) Amer ican visitors to the great horse show at Olympla may remember the fun that is always cause'd by the competition for the best coster turnout. But the real article Is not nowadays decked out In "pearlies," though it is Impossible to exaggerate the humor associated with this particular class of street mer chant. Some costers have just had a lively time at a gathering in London's East End, where they assembled in force to hear 65 persons singing for a live don key. The song contest occupied four hours. The ditty acclaimed as the winner was "I'm Shy, Mary Ann, I'm Shy." Bud ding Carusos and blushing Tetrazzinis worked hard for the prize, despite in terruptors, who now and again chimed in with their own unrehearsed melo dies or with comments more personal than polite. One singer, a young woman in a grey green dress with large cloth buttons and a hobble skirt, had bpgun the re frain of her sons, when fierce, shrill whistling came from someone in the middle of the hall. "Turn him out!" the angry audience shouted, but a woman Instantly rose and put a different interpretation upon the horrible noise. "Walt!" she shouted. "It's her hus band. It'a accompahiment, song and whistle together." This explanation only added to the confusion by dividing the audience Into two factions. "Go on! It's all right; it's her old man!" one party cried. "Sit on his head! Throw him out!" bawled the other and stronger party, who finally succeeded in carrying out their wishes by qoickly speeding the whistling coon into the street. The second prize went to a handsome young giant, who with rolling eyes sang In falsetto, "They Love Me, for I'm Blind," a pathetic boast that inspired a wag in the audience to shout, "They ought to be ashamed of themselves!" One coster essayed a music-hall ditty, "Let's All Go Down the Strand," and It was taken up with such vehemence by the audience that his voice was drowned. There were about 30 prizes, which the winners received on the stage and carried away with them. The man who won the donkey was told It would last him all his life, and he replied, "Yes, and I'll treat him like a brother." 1 Stop Taking Drugs!
