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

"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-

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

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

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.

The crusade against th so-called

asked that the Council strike at the

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

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

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.
