- THE JIORXLNG OREGOMAN, TIIURSDAT, JASUAKY 17, 1UT. mm BEftiH in TERRIBLE f Mrs. Nancy J. McCalla, Aged tast Side Woman, Burns T' to Death in Home. NONE THERE TO AID HER Son Rf-tuniff to Find Charred Form of Mother Jn Rocking Chair and Carpets on Kire Evidence of Struggle in House. Sirs. Nancy J, JlcCalln, a well-known pioneer -woman of th East Sldp, widow of the late Robert McCalla. was burned to (ieuth vePterday afternoon at 3 o'clocK af. ner Honie, 94 East Eleventh Rtreet. where she had lived for 40 years. The lifeless body was found by her son nt 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon, burned almost , to a crisp, her Mrs. Xanry toalla. Who- Was Rarned to leth. terribly charred form recHnlnK In a. rockirifi;-rhnir in tlio, kitchen, and lw arms thrown ovor thp back, indicating that she sunk down from exhaus- 1 Ion after futile and desperate er fJ't to- ahnko off the flames that were relentlessly eating away her garments. The 'xart manner of her death is un known, a sh" was alone when her clothing ignited. Vhfn neighbors saw smoke issninf? from th house they summoned Will ism A. McCalln. tho son, who hastened home, only to find his aged mother n Irady dead, what few garments still clung "to her being aflame and the car pet beneath - the. chair jtiFt starting to hum. That the victim made a despe rate ' effort to subdue the blaze and- to pavp her. life seemed apparent from the fact that bits of her clothing were found sitr'ewn about tho rooms, mute evidence that he had dashed about frantically In her last moments, only to "Ink into the chair at last from sheer exhaustion, where the light of life flickered and went out. The arrival of William MoOalla un doubtedly prevented the destruction of the family home, for wlthln'a few min- utes the flames would have been leap ing; from room to room, as they were June beginning to flare up In small spots near the chair where the aged woman was found. After extinguishing the blazes, the son called in Drs. s. E. Josephl ajid Q. J3. Xottdge. who immediately pro nounced Mrs. McCalla dead. The Cor- nner was notified and Deputy Arthur I Flnley Investigated. The body was taken to Dunning'a undertaking estab lishment. From the indications It is believed that Mrs. IoOalla,s-. clothing caught fire from coals that fell from the kitchen stove, and it Is also believed that he attempted to quench the flames with water from the pantry, as it appeared that she had been In there to secure water. Kalling In this she is supposed to have rushed madly about the house, not knowing what to do. or. which. way to turn, until from eithaurttion. she dropped into the rocking-chair In the kitchen. Only a few minutes prior to the fatal accident Mrs. McCalla received a call from her daughter, Mrs, D. C. Free man, and Mrs. Lyle Wright, who has apartments there. How soon It was after Mrs. Freeman left that the tire occurred is unknown, but it was only a short time. The daughter,1 who lives one b 1 oc 1 away, wa.s recalled and ap prised of her mother's death. Mrs. -Ml'Oalla. was 70 years old. She was a Kind, loving woman, one who bad gained the admiration and close friendship of a large number of resi dents of ths East Side. She came to Ortgon with her husband In 1S62. Her husband died, several years ago. Sne Is survived by her son, William Mo- Oalla, " and two : daughters, 'Mrs.. r. C. Freeman, of Portland,, and Mrs. Oraen. living-1 somewhere In California. MILLIONS PAID OUT IN TIPS Continued from First Page.) '' a.er -looked up. at him auickly and said: "lJke thunder ,rpu "haven't. I am man agjer of this place;, and I 'just checked In 100 gallons of cream not -more than SO minutes ago." With genuine embar rassment the new recruit replied: v "Oh. I - didn't know -you -,were- the manager; I'll, bring it at once,' sir." The inside motive for. the dodge, revealed in this manner, was to please ' certain regular customers' of the dining-room who made a practice of tipping, by keeping a liberal quantity of cream in reserve for them, giving ordinary patrons milk with their coffee. How the Barber "Works You. Th barbers in the large establishments of the cities axe also well organized for nccuring tips. Most-of them vork on percentage and have all kinds of extra "thinsa they try to sell each customer. The roan who does not give 10 cents above the tariff Is an unwelcome customer In ..most of the bigr shops. The up-to-date barber "educates" his customers to the idea of tipping. He begins a friendly line of talk, and tells you confidentially that things are going pretty bad with him. He will likely say: "Do you have - any idea what wages they pay In this place? They pay so little that if It were not for the tips we get we could not pay .'rent and provide for our families. Of course nearly everybody that comes In 01 ; v j i here gives us something, s0 we manage to worry along." By such means .the barter makes his customer understand that something extra is expected. If a Brood "educator" opens , up on. you ana you'fall to-take- tlie hint.- you- had better leoc lor another shop, or you will there- Biter get shaved the wrong way of the grain. - A dodge which Is worked with universal success bv man v rrHflv trinsnrlal artista is the soiled towel trick. In order to Induce his customers to buy shampoos ie Keeps a lowei at nana, tne corner 01 which is very grimy. When you get In then shows you the flirt, which did not come from your hair at all, but ojr the heei of his boot. As he flashes the soiled towel ne will say: iots or airt in your hair. Better let me wash it out"; and in nine eases out of ten the unsuspecting victim -will say. "Go ahead," -when- -probably b doesn't, neeel a. shampoo at all. Tips Jio Longer Voluntary. Many people are undoubtedly prompted to the aivini? of tlp by the 3esire -to be generous with someone less fortunate than themselves in the. matter of wages or income. While this Is a most 'com- mendable principle and may .have served that end at an earlier tin.e in 'this -coun-trv now the conditions are, such that feeing Is hardly a voluntary action. Thoso who formerly received yonr gratuity as ft ftood-wlll offering now arbitrarily demand the same and punish you by neglect mlt you fail to give it. Then their masters step in and reduce their pay. so that they are no better off than before worse off. ir fact, because they have to prey upon the public "to get living wage. Qnce when I wag discussing the matter of giving tips with a foreigner he made the following explanation of why It is done In Europe: "It-is merely a, little cash concession made to men who have to labor at tasks not quite worthy of human dignity. It Is not. If you think of - it. quite worthy of human dignity - that- a man should spend his life in setting down baked meats on a board for other men to eat. This is why we have Invented tips to reconcile men to perform menial offices with an appearance of contentment." Labor Should llesent System. . Any self-respecting man who works for his living ought .to resent such an atti tude as this. Honest labor of any kind, even of a personal character, such as wafting on the table or shaving a man or moving one's baggage, is a necessary function of living and crtn be 'quite dig nified if it Is done in, a dignified way. When a doctor lances a boil or a dentist fills a decayed tooth. It is personal ser vice even" more' objectionable than bring ing: one a beefsteak pr combing one's hair, except that a doctor or a dentist does not hold out his hand behind his back and allow you to govern his treat ment of you by dropping into it what ever you feel like giving. The functions of the waiter and the barber are necessary parts of our living. We are all more or less dependent on each other, and the most menial service is respectable It . done tn a respectable manner. Here is a ehance for organized labor to assert itself. ' Receiving chance gratuities In the place of salaries 19 neither dignified nor profitable, and It Is demoralizing. . The particular classes of labor that receive tips should stand to gether and refuse to take them. They ehould demand wages in keeping with the service they render. Forced to Depend on Xlfs- That taking chance tips instead of re- reiving adequate salary is not profitable is shown by the condition of affairs abroad. In those countries where the tipping system has been in vogue . the longest lahor is the most defeased. In Berlin one, is even expected to tip the streetcar1 conductor. Shall we ever come to that? In Vienna one must fee the Janitor who lets him In or out of his own house at night. Practice has made this so universal that it Is almost as binding as if It were law. And yet that porter, working about the house all day and having his sleep broken at all hpurs during the night, does not take In as much money In a week as a newsboy makes In America during an hour in the afternoon. It is a well known fact that i" niany of the swell cafes in Paris the waiters not only work for noth ing, but give as much as 5 a" night for the privilege of working there. It goes without saying that the patrons' of these places are forced to give handsome gratui ties or get the worst of It from a crowd x 1 if - Jiff i ??Wi 4 H k w yf -I'T .v c if FVVf Hi J i - 1 TWO (IBACEFl'I, SKATERS PHOTOGRAPHED AT GUILD'S LAKE. of men serving: them .under "such cir cumstances.

Carters J-Jttle Uvtur PUIS. Out pill a. dasa HU1TUT to mm boh Committee of Business Men Appointed by City Coun- . cil - Makes Report. VAUGHN FILES OBJECTION Declares Eipcnse Unnccessarv, tout Ways and Means Committee Is Kxpccted to Indorse Report' of Business Men.' At the meeting of tlie Council yester- day afternoon another knot was formed in the tangle which has resulted from the exporting of the accounts of various departments or the city government. The committee of business men recently se lected bv the Council to appoint another expert submitted its report. As a result it is probable that another accountant will soon commence work on the city books, while at the same time the expert who originally took up the task Is aolns over ilia findings for the benefit or a. special Council committee appointed for that purpose. The committee of business men appoint ed by the eouncfl to aelect a new expert consists of A. Jj. . 31111s, Robert L-ivlnK- stone and J. C. Alnsworth. At the meeting yesterday they recommended Georsre Black tor this commission. After a spirited controversy this report was placed in the hands of the ways and means committee. It was this committee which orierlnally returned a report scor ing the findings of Clark & Buchanan, which the committee regards as exceed ingly unsatisfactory and will therefore doubtless formulate an ordinance granting authority to the city to employ Mr. Black. Councilman "Vaughn was firm In his opposition to engaging; another expert. He declared that it was an unnecessary expense and one from which the city would derive no benefit. "You have appointed Councilmen PC ell a her, Jtushltght and myself a committee to investigate "the report of Clark '& Buchanan." he said, "and I ' think it w?ould be very discourteous at this time to appoint another expert. We are work ing steadily upon our investigation and you should certainly wait to see what we have done. Then if our report is not satisfactory you can name a second ex pert to go over the books." "I do not care what the report of your committee will be, I shall not be satisfied until the books are again experted." re plied Councilman Bennett. "Clark & Buchanan did not count, tlie cash In the various departments Mr. Clark told me that himself and I shall not be satisfied that the depart men ts have actual 1 y been audited until the cash is counted. The citizens are entitled to know whether the cash is still all there or not. and the Auditor and Treasurer are entitled to It. - "I - shall admit that the 'cash was not counted," returned Mr. Vaughn, "'but I do not know whether it is necessary to, count the cash -fn-experting books. That Is one of the thing's our committee is go ing to find outw We are going to take up that question next Experts say it is not necessary -and ( I am. willing to "take .their word for it. Furthermore, Mr. Black made-' an Investigation of- the . county books some time ago and ne did not count the cash. You will get everything from our committee that you would get . from your expert."-' -I -should like to. see that; cash counted." remarked Councilman Belding. "After all of this expertlng it is something we owre the Auditor and Treasurer." "I would like to know if there Is any charge . against them?", . inquired Mr. Vaughn. . "No. there is not." said Mr. Bennett T J "but this entire matter has been agritated so much that the citizens want to have one thorough and reliable review of the reeords and' they want to know how much caflh .is actually on hand." Councilman SheptiWrd moved to refer the report to tho ways and means commit tee, but the motion -was defeated. An effort was made to have the matter taken up in such a way that the expert would be engaged immediately. The City Attor ney said that the committee could not ente Into such ei contract. Mr. Shep herd's motion was therefore reconsidered and passed by unanimous vote. The franchise of the Portland & Mount Hood Electric Company was again placed in tne hands of the committee on judi ciary and elections, after it had been amended to require the construction of 40 miles of the line within three years. It was sent back to-the committee at the request of Councilman Masters, who said that S. B. Cobb asked that such action be taken. Application was received from the Portland & Seattle Railway Company for a franchise to operate upon fifteen t h Mayor Lane submitted a communication announcing: that he had approved the underground wiring ordinance. With the communication was a written Kreement or the,. Portland Railway. I-lght & Power Company, to allow the city space in its conduits for-wires of the police and fire alarm service. Permission waa granted the Chines to explode firecrackers during . their New Year, festivities. .' FINES ." FOK WATEK-WASTERS Council Tasses Ordinance Providing $10 Penalty: t. Hereafter if you allow city water to flow to prevent it from freezing in the pipes you will be subject to arrest and fine before the Municipal Court. The Council yesterday passed, an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to wast citjr water and subjecting one who does SO to a fine not to exceed $100. The ordinance was introduced by Coun cilman Masters and passed without a dissenting vote. The measure is aimed at all waste of water as well as that which invariably occurs during cold weather. It provides the penalty for all who "let water run. other than that used for domestic. .Irrigation or other lawful purposes for which payment ta made." In order that It might be put in force immediately the rules were suspended for its passage. There has been much complaint ajrainst the waste of water at all times and es pecially during the present cold snap. In spite of the fact, that an immense amount of water empties Into the Port- land reservoirs each day there has been complaint of a. scarcity on. the -high ele vations. This -condition has caused con siderable inconvenience and has menaced property in lessening the protection against fire. FIGHTS MASSAGE PARIiORS. Women's Guild .

They have asked that the Council strike at the root of the evil by revoking the li censes of all places known to be con ducted In an i I legitimate manner. At the meeting of the Council yesterday they submitted the following communi cation, which was Referred to the li cense committee : "The Trinity "Women's Guild of Trin ity Parish of this city communicates to you their decided protest and ob jection to the continuance of the places canea massage parlors now being; op erated in this city.

" A final blow wax fzi-ven the quarry of the Portland Rock Company ty the Council at .Its meeting yesterday afternoon. The long controversy that arose In the protest of the real dents of South Portland against blasting' In hat vicinity enaea in an orainance which will close down the Quarry and prevent the operation of any other wit.ni n 10 mocks or a duduc scnooi bulldlnar. The street committee suhmitted a majority and a minority, report on tta blastlnir ordinance, the former prohib iting blast. in sr within seven blocks ana There was also a communication from the Board of Kdueation recommending xne aoopiion or t ne minority report. Councilman Annand spoke in favor of allowing; the quarry t operate, de daring that the city needs the rock for street Improvements. He asserted that tne city ni paylne $2.75 a cubic yard for rock which is not worth more than $1.20. The Portland Rock Com- pany, he said, guarantees to furnish it at $1.15 a. yard. City Engineer Tay lor corrected thin statement, nay in? that the city is paying- from SL.60 to fl.Ts for rocK. "It is not a question of getting rock for the city; It Is a, question whether we are to destroy the homes of these people or not, - said Councilman Beld ing". "We have a remonstrance signed by 232 people asking that this quarry be put out of business, and we demand that it bo passed. ' Councilman Bennett said he objected to favoritism being shown. If one quarry is closed all should be. was his opinion, and he made an amendment to the motion that the minority report be adopted, to tne eirect that no blast ing be allowed in the city limits, Councilman Vaughn seconded It. as- sertina; that Portland has passed the stage where it can afford to permit the operation or quarries within the corporate limits. . - For a few minutes it appeared as though every Quarry, in Portland was to 'be closed, but Councilman Masters changed the situation by offering the 10-block clause as an amendment to the amendment. At this point the Council became aadly tangled in the intricacies of pariimentary law. Coun- cllman Vaughn said that an amendment could not be amended. Councilman Bennett -wanted a vote on his motion eRardless of the subsequent amend ment. Mayor Lane was as hopelessly lost as the others, and had to ask for help. Councilman Masters was an par ently .the only one who understood the situation, and under his direction the three motions were correctly put, the l)-olock amendment being nuatained in .each case. The final vote stood : Affirmative. Belding-. Gray. Master, Preston, Sharkey Shepherd, Wallace anil Wills; negative. Annand, Bennett, KeHaherand Vaughn. Dunninir did not vote, and Alenefee and 'Rushlight were absen t. CHINESE REFORMER HERE JlXi Iv-M WANG ; IS PAYING ' PORTLAND A VISIT, Canton, Mandarin Hag Been In Anier- ica One Year Studying Oeol- dental Conditions. Chinese officials and merchants are beina; better treated by the Customs-house officers In this country and now have but little if any reason to complain, accord ing to Jung Kai Wonfc one of the wealthiest and most prominent of the Chinese mandarins in the Canton pro vince who is now in Portland. He Is an ex-president of the Chinese Six Com panies. Jung Is a guest at the Oregon Hotel and is being- lavishly entertained by the local colony. June; Kai Wong- has been In the United States for a trifle more than a year studying social and economic conditions, When he returns to China he will ac cept a high position with his Govern ment and his visit here was to prepare him for that work. Junoj is the type of the reformed) Chi nese. He has faith In the civilization of the white races and believes that China will advance from Us stagnation with the introduction of Occidental methods and spirit. He is one of the -many who art endeavoring; to raise China from, .the rut into which it has lauen. The members of the local colony pay that he is something: of a writer and a philosopher. He is democratic and mlixgles - with all classes. Because of his popularity and reputation of fairness and level-headedness the Portland Chi nese predict that some day he will be one of the highest of the Chinese gov ernment officials, and expect great things of him. It is said that there are few persons In China who are more wealthy than Jung Kai Wong. He Is not given to show., however, and devotes much time and money to charitable work. He Is extremely unassuming. He speaks sev eral languages and Is mastering English. When seen last night and interviewed through an Interpreter he had; little to say other than that America is a great and wonderful country and that he- likes its people. When questioned in regard to reports of the revival of the boycott of American goods In China he replied he knew but little about the situation other than what he had read in the news papers here, as he has been absent from his home for more than a year. He said he did not consider It as serious. He said that he had been treated with courtesy and respect by Americans, cuntoms officials and all. r.ast night the members of the Portland Chinese colony gave a big banquet in his honor at the restaurant at the corner of Second and Alder streets. Tonljcht they will have other fetes for him. Ha will remain In Portland several days. Many of the Chinese in Portland have relatives In the Canton province and 'Wong will carry back: messages to them from his friends here. i Tng-of-War Tournament.
