been punctuated by the presentation of such
well-known rucceses as "The Virginian."

"The Earl of Pawtucket." and a half dozen
or so comic operas. The rather mystifying
title of the new piece, which has recently
received the seal of Boston's and Chicago's
critical approval, requires elucidation. "The
Heir is a baby, supposedly born during the

WORK FIELD ATHLETICS
One Hundred Youngsters on 31ult
nomali Field.
Multnomah Field looked like len times
yesterday afternoon, when nearly 100
young athletes assembled on the track
and worked out at tho different branches
of field athletics in which they are to
participate during the coming season.
About half the number on the Held were
members of the club, while the others
came from the various IntcrscliolasUc In
stiutlons whose teams are preparing for
the coming events at Columbia University
and other meets.
In the evening the Multnomah athletes
held a meeting at the clubrooms and
elected Frank E. Watklns manager of
the track team in the absence of H. W.
Kerrigan, and Oscar Kerrigan waa ohosen
captain or thtcam. The boys will hold
work-outs at every possible opportunity
and all the eligible talent in the club tvIU
be impressed into service for the pur
pose of upholding the honor of the or
ganization on the track during the ap
proaching season, which promises to be
one of the most active years in the his
tory of the sport.
Jack King has voluntcrcd hi services
as coach, nnd ho will look into the de
velopment of the youngsters with the
idea of developing a few more champion
athletes during the next few years.
Many of the oldtimers who witnessed
the turn-out on the field jestcrday -were
reminded of the days when Bert Farrell.
Frank Coyne. Ben Trenkman. Bert Bra
zee. Billy Laswell. Frank Watklns and
a host of others wore the running trunks
and spiked shoe of the athlete in regular
annua competition against the various
competitive teams of the Northwest, and
they expressed a hope that Frank Wat
kins and Jack King would be able to du
plicate at least a few of the veterans of
the great athletes of former days. The
youngsters now working out are proving
willing workers and who knows but what
a Smlthson. a Coyne, a Watkias or a
Pearson may be numbered among the lot,
for these noted athletes started in the
same way and attained the height of
their ambition by close attention to the
instructions of their trainers.
Jack King is well pleased with the
number of ambitious youngsters already
out and has been assured that there are
several more equally as anxious to take
up the sport, and they will shortly Join
the squad.
Rum for the Kerr Cup.
The last run for the Kerr cup on the

PUNNING TO END
THE ESS GRAFT
Legislative Enactment to Re
peal Company's Franchise
Is Promised.
AMENDMENT AS TO CITIES
It Is Proposed to Authorize Munici
palities to Fix Their Own Char
ters and to Regulate
Public Utilities.
That the Portland Gas Company's per
petual franchise will be repealed by the
next Legislature and the city authorized
to grant a new franchise upon such terms
as it may deem reasonable there can be
no doubt. Nearly all the Republican can
didates for the Legislature have already
pledged themselves, if elected, to support
n bill for that purpose, ana nave ex
pressed various views concerning other
legislation that may help relieve Port
land from the grasp of a monopolistic
corporation. Whatever else may be done,
the gas graft will end. and the people of
Portland will be given some voice in the
making of the rates which they must pay,
With the franchise once repealed, the
people of Portland will have the granting
of a new franchise entirely In their own
hands. The Cits- Council can neither
grant nor withhold a new franchise un
less the people are willing.
Initiative and Referendum.
Tli nrettmt rftv oVl.irlrr contains an
Initiative and referendum clause, under
tvhli-h tVin nennle nuv draft and enact a
franchise ordinance without the aid of
the City Council, or may demand the ret-
ercr.durn upon any rrancnise orainance
th rVinnM! mav tvum. and VOtO it down
at the polls. The present gas franchise
was granted by the Legislature, nowever.
and can be repealed only by that body.
That it can be so repealed without viola
tion f nv vested richts or tne corpora
tion is generally admitted by attorneys.
THE FIRE RECORD.
Two cottages occupied by Joe Tra
versa and John Pane, at TbKO.
about one mile outside th city Dro
lls and southeast of Sunnyside. were
totally destroyed by fire about 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The occupants of both places were
able to save mott ef their furniture,
but the buildings will prove a tatal
loss. for. owing to the poor water
supply, nothing could be done to save
the property. The blare started la the
residence of Traverse and soon .ex
tended to the Pau cottage adjoining.
The volunteer department at Sunny
tide responded and performed 'good
work In sating property adjoining the
"burned structures.
.
That it will be repealed is evident from
the willingness of candidates to respond
to the demand from the people for an
expression of their views and intentions
upon the subject.
A new feature was Introduced into the
franchise disousion Sunday morning.
when 13 candidates for the Legislature is
sued a platform which not only proposes
that the present franchise shall be re
pealed, but also that two constitutional
amendments now pending be adopted, one
giving the peoplo of cities the power to
draft, enact and amend their own char
ters without any special act of the Legls
lature, and the other extending the pro
visions of the Initiative and referendum
generally to cities. M that the people of
a city may propose ordinances of any
kind and vote upon them, or demand the
referendum irpon ordinances of any kind
and approve or reject them. This power
already exists in Portland as to the ini
tiative upon all measures, and as to tho
referendum upon franchise ordinances,
Xo Power to Fix Rates.
The chief difficulty at present is that
the Citj- Council is without apparent au
thority to regulate tho rates to be
charged by public-service corporations op
erating within the city under existing
franchises. The charter adopted in IXC
gives the city power to fix maximum
rates in franchises granted after the
adoption of that charter, and also gives
the city power to reserve in the fran
chisees the right to regulate the rates and
character of service from lime to time,
but this authority does not exist gener
ally so as to permit the Council to regu
late gas rates charged by a company op
erating under an old franchlre.
Two Remedies Offered.
Two remedies are therefore offered; To
have the charter amended in the next
legislature, so that the Council or the
people shall have the powt to regulate
rates by ordinance duly adopted, and to
secure the adoption of the constitutional
amendment which gives the people of
e'cry city the power to amend their own
charters without an act of the Legisla
ture, and then let the people of Portland
draft and adopt an amendment to the
charter of this city securing the right to
regulate rates. These remedies would
probably be effective without the repeal
of the ga company's franchlre. but the
Furest, safest and most direct method In
that which most of the candidates for
the Legislature favor to repeal trie pres
ent gas franchise and let the company
take another, with all the limitations
which the city has the power to Insert
under It present charter.
Proposed Amendment.
The constitution at present provides
that the Legislature may provide by
general laws for the creation of corpora
tions, but shall not create corporations
by special act, except for municipal pur-
poscH. i nou gn xnerc is a general jaw
for the creation of municipal corpora
tions, it has not been found adapted to
any but small municipalities, and all the
largrr towns and cities have been in
corporated by special act of the Legis
lature. The constitutional amendment
that has been submitted for a vote at the
June election follows:
Section - of article 3CI of the corjtltutSoa
of the State cf Oregon fast be. as4 the aaae
It. hereby amended to read as follows:
c. 2. Corporation may be formed tinder
reneral laas. but shall not b created by
the Legtslatlre Amk'y T r?cUl l, Tb
Legislative Aaeraibly shall not enact, amend,
or rspeal any charter or act of lacorpcratloa
for any msnidpaUtF. city or taws. Tae-egal
voters of every city aad town ar hereby
granted power to enact asd ascend their so
nldpal charter, rnbject to the conttlttckm and
criminal ltx-j of the State of Oregon.
What Amendment Might Do.
This amendment. If adopted, will take
from the Legislature the power to enact
or amend city charters and will make
it necessary for the Legislator to ire
cribe titer manner In which the people
of a city shall yroceed la drafuas; adopt
ing or aB-etg their charters. Some
of the candidate fr the IwMatar
. l4c tUs oMcikatfeBal amtssftjsseat will
be adopted, and that it will provide a
remedy for many of the francalte abuses.
But If It should be adopted, they pledge
themeelres to secure the passage of an
act by the LegieUture authorizing dtiea
over 39.039 Inhabitants to regulate and
control all public utility corporations,
both In the character of the service and
the price thereof, also repealing tho gas
company's perpetual francalse and fixing
tne maximum rate, for gas at & ceqts a
thousand feet.
The great public dessand for a remedy
for the gas graft has made this the lead
ing issue of the campaign and candidates
for the Legislature are studying It with
no lagging Interest, The next Multnomah
delegation at Salem will be solidly pledged
to give the people of this city the relief
they are seeking, and when the Legis
lature meets there will be some law
making In the Interest of the people.
DIFFERENT UIESGHU1
MOTHER AXD DAUGHTER DIE
XOT FROM SAME DISEASE.
Chickens Which Pcrlihed at Hun
kers Succumbed to Aliment Not
Afflicting Human Beings.
According to an investigation which has
been concluded by the State Board of
Health, there was no connection between
the death of two members of a family at
Hunkers. Or., recently, and the death
of a number of chickens which occurred
simultaneously on the farm where the
family lived. Heads of several of the
chickens were sent to Dr. R. C Tenney.
secretary of the State Board of Health.
for examination which has shown that
the chain of circumstances which startled
a whole community in Linn County was
only a strange coincidence, ,
Mrs. Thomas McClaln, of M inkers, was
taken suddenly ill March tL and died
within a few hours, evidently from soma
throat trmtiMe. The next Hiv her t.vear-
old daughter sickened and died and her"
symptoms were also of a membranous
throat disease. In the meantime it was
found that 3) chickens had died on the
McClaln farm, all seeming to be affected
with a disease of the throat. The cir
cumstances attracted unusual attention,
and Dr. W. 11. Davis. County Health Of
ficer at Albany, forwarded heads of the
fowls to Portland.
The examination which has followed
shows that the chickens died of a throat
disease, as was thought at first: but that
it was a malady which it would be im
possible to be contracted from a person
or for a person to contract from a fowl.
It is known as fowl diphtheria. Is en
tirely different from regular diphtheria.
and under no circumstances could afflict
a human being. Dr. Matron, who made
the tests, succeeded in transmitting the
disease germs from the heads of the dead
chickens to live ones, and watched all
of the symptoms closely.
It is believed by the health officers that
Mrs, McClaln died from a form of paral
ysis, and that the child died of mem
branous croup
NEW VAUDEVILLE BILLS

A wide variety of things la the vaude

difficult to designate any one act as the
feature of the show. The first to appear
were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Earlc In a
funny sketch. "The Henpecked Husband.

the feature at Panugea this week. Zerda.

calculated to keep the average theater
goer guessing for some time, and judging
from the amount of applause this act
received yesterday the 'guessing" was
enjoyed. Rcid Miller deals out some mora
mystery later on with his sleight-of-hand
feats, which proved entertaining tnrougn
ouf, Nancy Rice, harp player, singer and
m.-irle rood at once and the Man
hattan Boys Quartet proved popular with
the audiences, singing a great variety oi
popular songs. The feature of the show
is Gilbert Saronl and his company In a
laughable sketch. "Camllle Up to Date.
This act brought forth constant roars of
mirth. White and Franks put on an at
tractive sketch act. which was much en
joyed; Leo White sang an Illustrated

"The Gathering'
of the Churches"
As epoch-making as the
trial of Dr. Briggs were the
two conferences of last No
vember in New York and
Rochester.
Said one man : We are
standing by the death-bed of
a great religion." ,
Said another: "This anxious
gathering of the churches
shows that they believe a relig
ious crisis to be athanek It is
also a social crisis."

Just A Word About
BAY STATE PAINTS
By people who know quite a bit about
paint to people who intend uslnj? it. All
paint that has a good color and shines
when first applied is not necessarily a
first-class article. It's best and safest
to deal with merchants upon whose
word you can rely as to durability and
other good qualities. That's just the
reason we invite you to buy what
paint you need from us.
