NEW YORK APARTMENT
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. Seven per
sons are dead and 10 injured as a
result of a fire which swept through
a five-story apartment building at
241 West- fto9th street, in the heart
of fashionable upper west side,

Three firemen were injured in try
' ing to rescue the sleeping tenants and
seven tenants were burned or injured
in leaping from windows. All were
taken to hospitals.
According to firemen,, the blaze
. started on the second floor and raged
upwards. The tenants on the upper
floors became panic stricken when
smoke filled their apartments and they
found escape by means of the stair-
ways cut off. Many of them leaped
S from windows. Some rushed to the
roof.
Firemen made sensational rescues.
"The heroic rescue work prevented the
death list from being much larger.
Police reported that shortly before
the fire was discovered a blaze was
started in the hallway of an adjoining
building. That blaze was extinguish
ed by a tenant. He told the police he
heard a noise in the hallway and upon
opening the door discovered the fire
at the foot of the stairway. A few
minutes after he had extinguished the
blaze, he said, a stranger walked into
the building and carefully examined
the charred steps.

IN SEPTEMBER
By Clinton Scollard
There Is a dale wherein the bee balm
grows
Like dying embers of an altar fire;
Here lips are red upon the wilding
rose
And low winds play upon the linden
lyre.
In garnered fields near by a faded
gold
Shows on the -barley stubble; this
tle seed
Drifts drowsily and pendantly unfold
The topaz blossoms of the jewel
weed.
Heavy with languor ripened pippins
fall.
While in the copses lingering
thrushes croon,
And as the night droops dreamily o'er
all
A faint haze fills the chalice of the
moon.
It is a time of half forgotten joys
When earth, as one in visions, stands
at poise.

Vessel In Dock At
Astoria Is On Fire
Combustion Blamed

BIRD SONG
By Charles L. Olson
When the dew lies deep and the
blushing grey
Of dawn flames into a sunlit day;
Whpn the moraine's cold in the
treetops cling,
Then, glad little songbird, you bring
to me
- Your spirit of joy, in the witchery
Of the wonderful strains you sing.
Your gift is a treasure, so have a
care;
The hunter comes with his cunning
snare
To capture your melody for gain.
With a prison-cage for your splen
did dreams.
- Of love in the glad wnere the river
gleams,
And your mate will be calling in vain.
Your songs are of freedom; they never
can dwell
In the narrow space of the gilded
cell
Where you flutter with feeble wing;
They are born in the dawn of a
summer day,
Forever young though the world
grow gray
And sweet as the sun in spring.
Oregonian.
ASTORIA. Oct. 2. Fire broke out
this morning at 5:50 o'clock aboard
the Japanese steamer Etna Barn,
which has been moored at the port of
Astoria docks the past several days,
while the work of lining her holds pre
paratory to loading bulk wheat was un
der way.
. The fire is in the coal bunkers and,
while there appears to be danger
of the big steamer being materially
damaged by the flames, the Astoria
fire department was called to the
secene promptly and several streams
of water from the Columbia river are
being poured into the bunkers by the
pumper of the fire department.
The Etna Maru is using Oriental
coal, which shipping men say has
given much trouble to vessels using
it, and the fire Is believed to have
started from spontaneous combustion.
The damage caused by the fire cannot
be estimated until E. M. Cherry, local
British vice counsul and agent for the
company operating the Etna Maru,
has made a survey.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
IN REMEMBRANCE
BORAH SAYS RELEASE
POLITICAL PRISONERS
CHICAGO, Oct. 2. Vigorously de
nouncing the Harding administration
for the continued imprisonment of 75
political prisoners and for its failure
to recognize the Russian soviet gov
ernment, Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho, Sunday urged 4000 Chicago lib
erals to disregard party lines in the
fall elections and to cast their votes
On the basis of a candidate's stand on
Americanism and free speech.
"Don't ask a man whether he's a
Republican or a Democrat," Borah
said, "ask him if he's an American
and believes in free speech."
Borah addressed a mass meeting
held under the auspices of the national
emergency committee, which "will ar-1
range similar meetings in behalf of
political prisoners throughout the
country during the fall campaigns.
The Idaho senator's advice to dis
regard party lines was the only thing
he said which might in any way be
construed as a veiled reference to a
pos"S?oTe third party, such as had been
predicted he would make. Borah has
been suggested as a leader for such
a party. ,
Borah advanced a lengthy argument
for the immediate release of the po
litical prisoners, declaring congress
had violated the constitutional guaran
tees of free speech and that the gov
ernment was holding the 75 in prison
"possibly, because they are poor and
without influence."
TEXTILE INDUSTRY ACTIVE
Consul Chamberlain, Glasgow, re
ports to the Commerce Department
that conditions in the Scotch textile
- industries are much improved. As
tivity in the trade has recently been
more marked than at any time during
the past year and the looms are well
occupied in the production of saxony,
worsted, and cheviot goods for the
coir ing winter trade. Numerous or
ders are reported from the United
States, Canada, Belgium, and a fair
amount from South American coun
tries. The hosiery and underwear
trades are less active but some mills
are working overtime to complete
early winter orders, and a fair demand
exi3ts in the British dominions and
South America. The majority of spin
ners are busy, especially on fine
counts, and wool dyers report a brisk
trade.

WThen the clock ticks too loudly, count
ing the pulse of night.
When dawn with a face like twilight's
comes to the pane.
Often I open my eyes on your desert
of utmost grief, O master,
That soundless plain
Where a man might sit for a thous
and years like a stoue,
Brooding, his head bowed over his
knees
"In the middle of a vast plain." alone,
While nights go by like these.
I remember A misty serpent nung
That night when at last your fever of
journeying broke.
To wave you back from Roraima.
Ah, if
Her snowy ashes, as light as smoke.
Mingled with roots and herbs weighed
down your heart.
They kindled before your gaze . a
numbing vision:
An endless serpent (creature of opu
lent art!)
Crawling to match your steps in bis
cold 'derision.
Vengeful for that dark snake that you
killed in his sleep,
With the "blue-white, icy, lidless
eyes"
That still in the jungle reproachful
vigil keep
Though the slayer flies.
In the echoing midnight
You shouted into the forest for her
who wouldi never again be
there,
Finding her wilderness raputre in
y6ur Green Mansions
The light at play on her strangely
sparkling hair.
Could it be a race of little 'troubadour
monkeys,"
Strumming up in the boughs, guitar
on knee?
It was only her speech, the tongue of
a vanished people
WTio spoke in a far off time, melod
iously: A people who went to their end with
her, in fire.
WTiom only you could see.
ONE KILLED, TWO HURT,
AS AUTO LEAVES ROAD
PORTLAND, Oct. 3. A 40-foot fall
in an automobile down the sheer cliff
that skirts Columbia university at 2
o'clock this morning killed L. D. Jew
ell, 28, No. 903 East Everett street,
an overseas veteran.
Fred Zastro, 21, the driver, and Ar
thur Zastro, his brother, 24. who were
in the front seat of the machine when
it skidded off Willamette boulevard
and over the cliff, were both injured,
The former i3 at St. Vincents hospital
with a compound fracture of the right
arm and perhaps other injuries. Ar
thur, after his wounds were dressed,
was sent home. Both live at No. 410
East 58th street north.
All three have been working at the
Western Cooperage company and were
on their way home. The Zastros had
asked Jewell to ride with them, though,
they did not even know his name. He
lived in their vicinity, however. j
Public Property
Do you remember the poem by
Riley about the old elm tree on the
line "between Pa's house and Mr.
Grays?" The children who played
about it quarreled over its ownership
until Elsie; came and settled it "for
good."
So all keep still; An' nen she gone
And pat the Old Tree?" an says she,
Whose air you, Tree?" 'an nen let
on
Like she's a list'nin' to the Tree,
'cause
The Old Tree says he's all our tree
His trunfe belongs to hofe your Pas.
But shade belongs to you an' me.'
Many of us are still so unsocial that
we cannot take pleasure in that which
does not belong exclusively to us. We
feel no pride in public property.
Some are even so lacking in com
munity spirit that they will not help
in the upkeep of public institutions,
but feel that whatever they can ap
propriate from these for their own
private use is that much to their gain.
This makes it necessary to chain
down towels, have liquid soap, and
leave nothing detachable in public
places. Parks, monuments, play
grounds, tourists camps nothing is
sacred from the demolishment of the
vandals. They even scribble on our
public walls and carve their initials on
our monumental trees that- we may
see just who are these unpatriotic In
dividuals.
They cut across the corners of our
grass plots, pick flowers in our parks,
take slips of our shrubs, carry away
"souvenirs" from our most sacred
shrines, and prove enemies of public
beauty.
It is a new question which many of
us. might consider whether It is fair to
carry home from the woods such
plants and flowers as might delight
many if left to grow but would soon
wither in our houses. If we keep on
robbing our woodlonds of beauty it
will need replenishing, as the. lakes
now do with fish. Is it right to drive
away the wild birds and squirrels sim
ply for private pleasure?
If we would preserve a beahtiful na.
tion we must cultivate the po.wer of
enjoying and caring for public proper
ty that which is "all eur tree.

Attempted Control
Of Vote Is Charged
To Ku Klux Heads
PORTLAND, Oct 2. The telephone
rates case veteran of the courts, of
hearings and of mass meetings en
tered a new campaign today.
For the third time, the public ser
vice commission began a hearing that
he'.d the possibility of ending in low
er rates.
It was the first hearing, however.
in which the two new commissioners
elected at the recall election had a
part.
And in the formalities of opening
the hearing, the new members had
shaken over their heads the very
club that laid their predecessors
low.
."The people will never relinquish
their power to obtain lower rates.
declared E. M. Cousin, one of the
original proponents of the recall.
H. M. Eaterly, attorney-examiner for
the commissioner, review the case at
the outset, pointing out that the two
former hearings had resulted in a
total rate increase of "more than 50
per cent."
H. M. Thompson, deputy city at
torney, insisted that the. decision
fixing present rates "is not right
and cannot ie permanent."
He said that the state, unprepard
at the last hearing, was now ready to
put in telling evidence and that 'the
city would assist it. He urged, hov:
ever, that the public would hold It a
worthy expenditure, for the commis
sion to obtain "one of the few com
petent enginers in the country on
telephone matters of exactly this sort.
to present data.
The hearing is distinct from the
case in federal court under which a
decision against the public service
commission would require it to restore
reduced rates.

NEW ELECTION LAW IS
SCORED BY GRAND JURY
Report Is Returned Following
Complete Probe of Fraud
Found in Primary Recount.
PORTLAND, Sept, SO. Discontinu
ance of the dual election board system,
whereby ballots are counted while
polls still are open, was recommended
by the Multnomah county grand jury
which investigated frauds in the
course of Its four months term, which
concluded yesterday. The final re
port, presented to Circuit Judge Ross
man yesterday afternoon, also found a
weakness in the law in its failure to
provide special care for the ballot
boxes during their transfer from the
day board to the counting board.
Though the grand jury did not go
into detail, it found "especial dan
ger" in the new system for counting
ballots because of the opportunity
given unscrupulous election officials
to tamper with the vote. Until after
the polls close at 8 o'clock the count
ing board works in strict privacy, un
der the present law, whereas under
the old system persons interested in
current controversies could watch the
count as it progressed and make cer
tain that their candidates or measures
were not slighted by the official count
ing of the ballots.
