THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1W7, WOULD. EXTERD THE INITIATIVE Representative Jones Frames Bill to Adapt It to Local Affairs. WILL OFFER IT THIS WEEK Similar Act of lflOS Will Be Re pealed by Froposed Iaw and Many Improvements Are Suggested. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 20. (Specla.1.) A question has tx-en raised as to the power of cities to amend their charters without a legislative enabling a-ct. and there is no law to carry into effect trie provision of section 1 of article 4 of the constitution of Oregon, as to local, special and municipal legislation. In order to correct theee conditions, Representative t.lnn E. Jones will intro duce a bill in the I.Rlslature this week that will enable the Initiative and refer endum provisions of the constitution to be carried out on local, special and munici pal as well as general legislation. The law proposed is to take the place of the bill enacted four years ago and makes chnnjares In that law. The hill carries the emeritencj- clause, and has 15 nectlonii. It creates a, statute to provide the method of using the initia tive and referendum and repeals the law that wa enacted hy the legislature of IflOS. which has been in uae for the past four yearn, and during which time events liave demonstrated that there is room ror improvement. Attorney-General Names Btlls. Still fresh in the memory of the public 1 th Utter complaint that m registered hy the Prohibitionists over the title to the lo-.l notion amendment. which stated that the amendment wan for the purpose Of Jiving the anU-Prohibitionists and Prohibitionists equal privileges. Similar was the title of the act for the purchase tu-s mount j-tooo ana Harlow toll road hy the state. Mr. Jones' bill provides that Instead of allowing those who file a pcti- tlon to determine the ballot title them selves. It Is made the duty of the Attorney-General to write the ballot titles for all measures. People who are dissat- isfied may anneal to the Circuit. Court, and its decision is final, as there is no appeal allowed to the Supreme Oourt. The Attorney-General is permitted tf use H) words to state the object ot te measure. The new bill make, vers- llttTe change In the form or petitions, out provides tor proving signatures by affidavit, and the man who circulates the petition must swear to the genuineness of the voters' names on every sheet. In the present law the County Clerk compares the sia- natures with the registration books and certifies to those that he believes to be correct. Clerks all over the state object to this method because it is a burden to them, and in other petitions provided for hy law, the signatures are ioved by affidavit. i ne secretary or state is required to bind and preserve in volumes a copy of each petition with all the signatures that are attached and to publish In the general laws of the next legislative assembly such measures as are approved by the people. The present law requiring the Governor to proclaim the filing: of any petition is abrogated All the measures that are to be submitted at one election must be bound in one pamphlet and the Secretary Of State must mall a copy to every voter whose address he has. The time of mail ing is determined so that the Secretary of State can Include a copy of the candi dates and political parties' pamphlet pro vided by Representative Huntley's corrupt practice act that was introduced last week, in case that law should be enacted. Solves Perplexing Questions. In the event of two or more conflicting laws being- adopted by the people at the same election it is provided that the one that receives the greatest number of af firmative votes shall be paramouat In all particulars where there is conflict, and the same provision Is made ah to con flicting amendments to the constitution. The new law is intended to furnish leg islative construction and where reason able legislative constructions are provid ed, the courts usually follow them. As to municipal legislation in cities and town? which have not provided or do not provide for the manner of exercising the initiative and referendum powers In their city affairs, the provisions of this act will apply. No city ordinance shall take effect until 20 days after its passage by the Council and approval by the Mayor, and all initiative petitions shall be filed with the 1 T y Olerk not les than 90 days before the election in which they are to be voted on. The Clerk must Immediately transmit them to the City Council and that body must either ordain them Just as they are offered or reject them within 30 days. If the Council rejects or takes no action, tt may prepare a competing measure within the 30 days and the Clerk must then submit both measures to .the people at the same time. If the Council approves and ofdains the measure that is proposed by initiative petition. It may re fer it to the people for final approval or rejection, and if It does not. the measure must lay 30 days, subject to a referendum petition against It. In the case of two or more conflicting measures that may be Hpproved by the people of a city at the same time, no matter whether they are proposed by the Council or by Initiative petition, the measure that receives the greatest number of affirmative votes la paramount In all particulars as to where there is conflict, even though It may not nave me greatest majority. Improves on Initiative. Th.e purpose of this provision Is to al i-jw -"u"';n propose a. ciinerent or better measure than is ottered by initia tive petition, and It is thought to be quite an improvement over the original amend ment to the constitution allowinsr the in itiative for general laws, because as to Rcneral laws and amendments to the rav stltutlon the legislature has no oppor tunity to offer h ri amendment or a dir. ferent measure and. the people are obliged to either approve or reject the measure that Is proposed by the Initiative. in the case of e mer gen c y mea aur ea where It Is necersary that they should jro into inuiieniaio errect to preserve tive pub- UC pface or safety Of the city, they may be passed by threft-fourths Vftt- of all members elected to the Council, and If approved by the Mayor they shall jto Into immediate operation and are not subject to the referendum. Amendments to a city charter may be provided either by Initiative petition or by the Council, or the Council may appoint a Commission to prepare charter amend ments for submission to the people.

CEIL OH Fimi Noted Evangelist Speaks at the White Temple. LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT Spetrker Gives Incidents of Travel Among Savage Tribes, With Ap plication to Text Evangelis tic Meetings This Week. Rev. William Edgar Gell spoke last night at the White Temple on "Facts, Faith and Keeling" to an audience which packed the great church to the doors. The sliding doors were opened giving- the church double the usual seating" capacity but the people who came to hear the great speaker ftltedi all the seats down stairs and in the gallery, those who came after 7:46 o'clock occupying an the available standing room. The meetings will continue for two weeks. A baptismal service preceded the address. Xr. J. Whltcomb Brougher officiating. Tn making the announcements a few mo ments later Dr. Brougher eaid he was sorry for those who were compelled to etand. but that while there was a law against putting chairs in the aisles there was none against sitting on the floor. Many took advantage of this. A special chorus-numbering 75 organised for the evangelistic services thin week and next, under the leadership of For- fessor J. W. Belcher, rendered several numbers. The music was a feature of the programme last nlcht. Mine Kathleen Lawlpr slnprlna the solo. "My Redeemer and My I-ord," by Buck, and Mrs. Walter Reed accompanied by the choir, nans, Hark. My ftoul." by Chadwlck. Dr. Oeil saict In. part: Faith or the Thibet-an. Kalma of Sinrpan came riding swiftly to the doctor and said to him: "There a rob ber over In the Vallev of the- ThlbM. He must see you an oulcklv as horseflesh can carry 118." The doctor leaped to his now, and together they rode, harder and faster. tin they came to a Httle hut. The doctor had brought hie instruments with him. Go ing into the hut he unrolled them and bunt a are, in the broken fireplace. "They told me. said the robber, holding out a sheep- kln bundle, "thttt If I would lceep it warm you- could put It on. "But Tt will be use- leSS' Bald the doctor, when he had un rolled the bundle, and saw that It Con talned a band and arm warm blood. "Only th Q g-ory with Physician could give you a new band." The doctor All vhat he couia for the man. and later the robber often cfime to the dweillnir of the missionary to talk with him. The prod!Rl ran away from home and went to living in a pigpen. Iater on he found himself there. He v,ent home and they put a ring on his hand. Great fool! If he had gotten married he would have had a rlns; on his hand long- before, and might not have wandered off till he found the pijtpen. But It was there that he found himself face to face with the facts. rr. Gell then -vividly portrayed the death and resurrection of the Christ and continued: When I was In Jerusalem, J purchased a crown of thorns In the market place, and taking: out my pencil counted the icreat lone; thorns on the Inside of the crown. There were more than 50 which would penetrate a human head. I believe these facts about the -Christ Just as much as X believe .that there are three stars In the belt of Orion or that all the great suns and planets of the universe are Irresistibly drawn toward a something; far beyond the constellation of Hercules. Falth Is founded upon facts. DoDger of African Forest. X do not consider myself an excitable man; 1 f I had been such I would not have sur vived the dangers of the African forest. I would at one time have given the order to Are upon those aborigines, which would have meant certain death to all the party. After ca-re; fully looking at the facts I have begun to exercise faith. We should not yield to feeling and excitability. It Is never pro ductive of good. At the close of the addreas an after meeting: was held to which many stayed. At 3 o'clock .this afternoon Dr. Gell wlil hold an evangeHstic service at the TPirst Christian Church, corner Columbia and Park streets. The evening service at 7:45 0 clock will be held at the white Temple. There will' be no evangelistic meeting- on Tuesday night, as William Jennings Bryan Is to speak.

Friday will be observed as a day of prayer by the Protestant churches ot Portland, services being held at the T. M. O. A. from :30 A. M. until 9:30 P. M. There will be a change of leaders every f-half hour, the leading pastors of the Protestant churches of the" city conduct ing the meetings. ORIENTALS MORE DESIRABLE Rev. C. A. Cook Says Italians Are Bad CLass of Immigrants. "The Japanese and Chinamen who are coming to this country are infinitely bet ter than the hordes of Italians who are pouring Into our larger cities. The Jap- anese boy comes here to better htmseir. He Is neat, clean and intelligent, while the Italians are without purpose and bring ' with them their own evil prac tices. Yet California is stirred up be cause a few Japanese and some China men are coming1 to that state. One Jap. anese is worth 1O.O0O Italians of the kind tnat are coming1 to the Bastern cities."

JUDGING IS GDMPLETFD POULTRT SlfOW REMAIN'S OPEN . TWO DAYS LONGER. Will Come to Close Tomorrow Xight. Exhibition Most) Successful From Every Point of View. All the awards at the poultry show hare been made and the judge, "William Stonehouse, will leave for his home at Xanaimo, B. G, this morning. Mr. Stone- house had judged many shows and says that he has never seen one where more One birds were exhibited than In the One nOW Closing. This year the number of birds was not so large as last year, but the difference in numbers was made up in the duality of the Mrds. loaay and tomorrow the show will be ih8SSM&& William StonehoDse, Who Judged the Poultry Show. open for visitors, and though no judging will be done, all the birds will remain on exhibition till tomorrow night. So far, the show has been a great success, finan cially, and the gate, receipts will be 50 per cet larger than they were last year. It is expected that the association will make money out of the show and that after all expenses are paid there will be something left for the treasury. There were several birds In the show that attracted great attention because of - their fine points and foremost among these were the tumbler pigeons, exhibited by J. P. Limerick. In the way of prizes. H. C. Rinsrhouse. of Gresham. was probably the most suc cessful. Hia chicken exhibit was one of the most complete in the show. He took six cups. Frank Fenwlck made a great showing with his coop of Buff Orphing tons. These birds took every prize in their class and stood high in points. A bird that attracted unusual attention was a Golden Duck "Winn?, exhibition game hen. This fowl is also owned by Mr. Fenwlck, and at the Madison Square Garden Game Exhibit this year stood first In her class. Had Fenwlck been a member of the Eastern Association he would have received a $150 cup, but his neglect to become a member debarred him from entry for the special prizes. At the Buffalo exhibition in 1903 and at vari ous other shows he has taken prizes for his fine chickens. Yesterday was a good day for the as- sociation and a large number of people passed through the gate. Among the ex hibitors great praise was heard for the Judge, and all seemed pleased with the awards. Not a word of complaint has been heard.

ROTTEN STEW IS SERVED Some Prisoners Assert That Dlsgnst- ilK Foreign Sntrotuices Are Fonnd tn Food Others Have No Complaint to Make. Who was it said: "It's the difference In opinion .that makes the world progrress?" The author of the epigram, whoever he R'as. would find splendid proof of its truth were ne to visit the prisoners at the Oounty Jail, for there is a difference of opinion among the involuntary guests of the Institution over the food that is sup plied by Louis Eberllng, the County Jail caterer, and Sheriff Stevens. A few Fed eral prisoners who have a deep grievance against Uncle Sam because they have not been granted speedy trials, say the fare Is none too good, while other Fed eral prisoners who are fed by Sherlff Stevens chef, declare their food is good and express pity for the county prison ers who have to eat meals that cost the taxpayers 11 cents a day. Eberlins;. the contractor, who agreed with the County Commissioners to feed the jailr.lrd, for 11 cents a day each, says the food he supplies Is the same that he gives pa trons of his restaurant, and that It must he good, for he has not lost anv cus tomers. The protest the county's guests made against a stow that was served to them Saturday is the second they have made awtinst Eberllng'n 11 -cent food.

They must use the comeback in the stew they serve us. That stuff they handed us Saturday was the worst yet. We'd been working since 6 o'clock in the morn ing cleaning up the Jail and were hungry as wolves at noon. They brought In the stew and you could smell it a block. It's a wonder that the man who carried it over wasn't asphyxiated. When my nose ach took a somersault. . "Doctor McCornack chewed a piece of the meat, but I noticed he didn't swallow - Then he dug down and said he was looking: for a real rotten piece. Me found it, but you bet he did not try to eat it. I was hungry enough to have eaten a horse, but I couldn't go that stew. "Taln't nothing to And hair, dried bread and paper In the potatoes," said Dan Currier, another prisoner, "we don't get any sugar in our coffee and say, may be you think that coffee ain't the limit. It ain't coffee it's baked beans. I was hungry all right Saturday, but the stink from that stew made me forget it. I don't know what the stew was made of. but they must have put everything into it over there. Tripe ie one of their favorite mixtures. Ain't anything un usual to get tripe stew, or tripe cooked with tomatoes, and if the trl-pe ain't good they put lots of red pepper in it to kill the taste. The stuff today wasn't bad.

He in the same cell with Murderer Rlod gett, and when asked how he was getting along he said: "I'm getting fat." And he looked It. Blodgett refused to be drawn into the controversy, beyond say ing that he had no complaint to make. Ed Nelson, who is held for the murder of Oscar Lindgren, woke out or a nap to say: "The food's all right. 'Ain't got no kick.' Of the good food that Sheriff Stevens serves, while joe nuason, counterreiter, and Dan Hart, charged with a detestable crime, say they "have a kick" against the food. Dr. McCarnack was In the jail yester day, talking to the prisoners about the food. To an Oregon tan reporter. Dr. Mc Carnack said: Bad, Says the Doctor, "This is only the second time that I have found the meals served to' the coun ty prisoners bad. I tasted of some of the meat that was in the stew, and it was rotten. I bit into a piece of the meat, and I tasted It for hours after. It spoiled my appetite for dinner. I set In here at mealtime as often as I can, and have found no reason to complain. "I have reported 'to the Commissioners that in my opinion the meals were too heavy for men kept in confinement. I uon t Know wnat tne Saturday stew was made Of, but I think U was corned beef. It was very bad. no matter what It was." "Or. McCarnack will make a report to the CommlBBlonerB today. Caterer ESaerllng at first declined to dls- CU8S the stew. He said ; he would wait for Dr. McCarnack's report, then would make a statement.
