Business Men Ask Commission!
. to Give the City Board Control
Orders Already Iastied by Commission
are Asked to be Rerohded, Entire
Matter Placed in Hands of Health
' Officers-Loyalty and Co-Operation
is Pledged by Business Men. :
Responding to a call from Acting City Manager .Geo.
II. Currey, who an turn represented the tity commission,
repreHentatives of almost every business house in the cily
of Lit Grande met at the city hall last evening fuv the pur
pose of discussing closing orders -and the best manner of
imndling the influenza situation. - . '
Sentiment was uuaninioua in the 'desire to eliminate
the disease and protect the health of the community, .but
there was a difference of opinion as to how the matter
should be handled. The rules of the board of health as
published last evening were read and discission followed.
It finally resolved itself down to what is meant by the
' word ".crowding" how many people constitute a crowd,
etc. .
Representatives of the moving picture theatres ex
. pressed a' belief that the legislation already passed by the
commission was class legislation, for the show house peo
. pie expressed a willingness to sell every second scat or
every third seat only if the health board thought it best.
, Manager Currey repeatedly was forced to call the at
tention of the assembly to the fact that tho meeting was
called for but one purpose, namely, to have the store own-
era and operators discuss tho best way to handle the peo
ple during the holiday trade and prevent crowding in the,
different places of business. He stated that the commis
" sion had already enacted legislation on the show houses
and the churches and that was not ojjen for discussion1 at
last night's meeting.
Mar Carry It to Court.
Father Driscoll was present and made a strong pleaJ
lur i-ujinmiuucy 111 me xiianer or closing tne cnurcnes. jie
Raid if there was danger in congregating why not enact the
eastern rale of permitting one person to a certain number
of cubic feet of air space, but under no consideration would
he agree to the closing of the houses of worship in La
Grande during the Christmas period, which was the great
est period of the year for the person who worshipped the
Divine Being.
"I feel this so keenly," said Father Driscoll, "that I
must serve notice on the city now to the effect that injunc
tion proceedings may have to follow any arbitrary ruling.
. This will not be done with a desire to be petty, but quite
the 'reverse; it will be done from the broad viewpoint of
Christianity.
Recorder John Collier asked Father Driscoll "if peo
ple could not pray at home."

ROT NECESSARY
CLOSE SCHOOLS
CrTT SITl'KltVISlOX SAYS AT,
' TKNUAM'K IMPROVED.
ScIiuun to to-open In Weak. If Sit
vatioa ia t'lly Nt Worse.
Whether or not tho local schools
are to be closed aqain on account
of th lnflutmza situation la a
question that ha not yet boen definitely-
determined. The order of
the city board of commissioners,
published in The Observer last
night, did not extend to the scools,
for the .tcason that they were to
be closed at noon today for the
Christmas holidays, anyway, and
it was thought that when . it wis
time 'for them to' be reopened, ..on
the 30th of the month, conditions
might have improved to such an
extend that It would not bo nec
essary for the school work to be
Interrupted again.
A representative of The Observer
talked to Mr. A. C. Himpton, su
pervisor of the city schools, yes
terday with regard to tho effect
the epidemic has had of late upon
the attendance at the schools. It
was Mr. Hampton's opinion that
with quarantine regulations strict
ly enforced In the city, which
would ensure that sick children
would not be allowed to come In
to the schools, It would not be
nocessary to cloia the schools
again, and In addition he gave this
statement to Tho Observer:
"As far as the effect of the cp
Jemic upon the attendance in gen
eral Is concerned, the situation is
Improved. -
"The epidemic did not ifTect tho
Riveria, Central, nor .high school
Immediately afltr the bitn lifted,
but about two weeks ago the at
tendance began 'to fall off In those
schools. It Is gratifying to note.
however, that these, schools, 4tro
now Increasing in attendance very
materially. - '
"It is my opinion that ast far -as
the epidemic affoctlng tho attend
ance la concerne. the situation
will clear1 largely during the inter
val f the Cl1r.Btn.a3 holidays. The
teinhtrt are observing, strictly tho
rules and regulations regarding Ihe
health of the' pupilH which were
adopted after tho first ban was
lifted."
It 1r the intention at present,
therefore, to have tho schools re
opened on Monday,' December 30th,
rtitl pupllt may plan to return to
their studios on that, day, unless
the city health board issues in
struction! to the cc-ntrary in the
meantime. The only school holi
diy during the New Year season
will be Ne Year's day, If the
present plan holds.

PRACTICABILITY
WILSON'S PLAN
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21. (United
Press) Although characterizing
President Wijson 9 plan for a league
of nations as "captivating and at
tractive," Senator Lodge, floor load
er of the Republican party, seriously
questioned its practicability as a
working plan to kecftthe world peace.
"Any attempt to form such a league
now," Senator Lodge said, "can only
embarrass the peace whicji we ought
to make at once with Germany."
Ho urged the postponement of the
following five ot tho president's .four
teen points of peace, until after ft sat
isfactory, binding treaty has beer,
signed, viz.: The league of nations,
freedom of the sens, secret diplomacy,
economic barriers and redaction of

The -Austrian food situation, how

Great Britain will go as far as pos-
ible in meeting President Wilson's
point of view regarding "freedom of

They .sny that Great Britain is ful

thoy point out that the revision must
be consistent with 'Britain's insular
position, which they bclievo President
Wilson himself will agree requires
special consideration and Bnfcguard.
