13 BAKER 0 REFORM Fathers Stringent Ordinance to Protect Public Health. SWEEPING IN PROVISIONS City Council Hesitates to Pass Measure So Radical and llerers It to Committee for Careful investigation. An ordinance, strinsent in its terms and sweeping in Its application, was pre sented hy Councilman Baker at yester day's meeting of the City Council. It la intended to regulate the sanitary condi tions in the city and to vest in the City Health Officer and his assistants the au thority to enforce to the letter its pro visions. Inspired by the recent epidemic of spinal menlnRltls. which thrives best under unsanitary conditions, the author of the ordinance, assisted by Preston, made an earnest attempt to have the measure enacted yesterday, but Mayor Lane and Menefee and other members of the Council cautioned a more deliber ate consideration of so important a bill, inasmuch as it is general in its applica tion and rigidly exacting in its require ments. Therefore the ordinance was re ferred to the committee on health and, police, to be reported for final passage at the next meeting. In presenting the ordinance. Baker ex plained that the measure had been sug gested by Health - Officer Wheeler and was drafted by City Attorney McNary. He said he felt satisfied the provisions of the measure were only such as are necessary to maintain proper sanitary conditions, and since the ordinance had been carefully prepared and drawn up, there could be no question as to its legal ity. "We certainly need some such law in this city and we should make it possible to enforce its provisions," said Mr. Baker. "Dr. AVhceler tells me Portland never needed such a law as badly as at the present time. I cannot see why there should be any delay in putting this or dinance to a llnal vote now." Preston followed and urged the passage of the ordinance in the interests of the public health. He said the fatal exper ience this city ' had been having with spinal meningitis was conclusive proof that there should be no delay in accom plishing something that would tend to prevent such epidemics. But the' friends of the measure were baffled and the or dinance was referred. The ordinance provides for better sani tary conditions in the growing, market ing, handling and exhibiting for sale of all meats, hsh. fruits, vegetables and food products of all kinds. It also makes it a misdemeanor for any hotel, restaurant or boarding-house where meals, are. served to employ any person having con sumption or any other communicable disease. The use of any chemical dele terious to health in any food article Is forbidden. Slaughterhouses must in every case be provided with a cesspool. No animal for food shall be killed within the city limits except by permission of the City Health Officer. Fines ranging from $25 to JlWi are provided and the Health Officer and his assistants are em powered to enforce the provisions of the measure. The warm weather of the last few days is believed to have put to flight the spinal meningitis germ and Dr. Wheeler says a continuance of present weather conditions for another week will rid the " community of the epidemic. Not a case of the disease has been reported in the city in tfle last 72 hours and in the same length of time but one case has been received at the hospital, the victim being Venus Service, a 9-year-old lad residing at Holbrook. Iast night the condition of the little sufferer was Improved, with fair chances for recovery. SURVIVORS ARE COMING Those Who Kscapod Injury in Honda Disaster Will Visit Portland. Survivors of the terrible Honda wreck, in Southern California, will reach Port land tomorrow morning. In the Pullman car Creole. The car will be attached to the regular train from the South and will arrive here at 7:25 A. M. The car carries 15 Shriners who were in the smash-up but were fortunate enough to escape with little or no injury. This number is made up of' those on the wrecked train who cared to continue their journey as originally planned. The re mainder of the passengers on that tral returned direct to the -Fast. " canceling their proposed trip back by the northern routes. Yesterday was a quiet day among the Ehrincrs in the city. No special trains arrived with returning delegations, though a few of the representatives to the Los Angeles Imperial Council session from Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania came in on the regular trains. In view of the fact that no specials were expected, but little could be done for the entertainment of yesterday's arrivals. However, as soon as their presence became known they were taken about town during the after noon and at night enjoyed a theater party. A rush is expected today, two special trains being expected this morning one with delegations from Pennsylvania and another carrying Kismet contingent from Brooklyn, Is. Y. The first special is to arrive at about 7:25 A. M., while the second is expected to arrive an hour later at 8:30 o'clock. Potentate Douglas W. Taylor requests members of Al Kader Temple and especially the committees to be on hand at the T'nion Depot at the time of the r"jpkHE Family Didn't Agree About the Name of Portland's Youngest. The County Clerk had the Ruling Vote, so we Changed the Name from EN GLEWOOD to FOURTH AND STARK STS. arrival of the trains to give the seekers of Islam the true direction. There will be a reception at the Hotel Portland. NEW PLAN OF OPERATION Cars on O. W. P. Division to Kun oil Second Street. rians to run cars of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company division north on Second street from Madison to Alder have been made by operating offi cials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company and as soon as tracks can be laid on Alder between First and Second and curves put in. this change in routing O. W. P. cars will be made. A permit to build- a track" for this pur pose on Alder street, between First and Second, I was granted, yesterday by the Council and work will soon be begun to make this connection. Only one block of track need be laid to complete this loop and cars will be running over the new route within a few weeks. The purpose of the change in routing is to relieve First street of the present con gestion of streetcar traffic. The double tracks along that thoroughfare are too crowded with cars to admit of the best service. As all the people for the First street cars flock to First and Alder and First and Washington to take their cars, this causes a crush on First during the rush hours. Facilities for switching the cars from the west track to the east at the end of the run at Alder street are in adequate and often cause considerable delay in the prompt dispatch of cars. With the operation of the proposed loop, all this, will be done away with and cars entering the city will go west on Madison street from the bridge to Second, where they will turn down as far as Alder, when thev- will swing around the loop to First and leave Uie city by the Madison bridge without the necessity for changing head lights, controller cranks or swinging trol leys. Conductors will be relieved from changing ends with the rootorman at the end of each run and there will be no fur ther necessity for the conductor to go through the car and turn the seats. California Business Men Coming.. California business men will return the courtesy paid them by the .business men of the Pacific Northwest irt making ex cursions south by a similar journey north in July. Visits will be made to all points in the Northwest and there will be 175 leading California business men in the party. Eugene. Salem, Portland. Ta coma, Seattle. Bellingham. Victoria and Vancouver. B. C, will be visited. Plans are being' made for the entertainment of the visitors while here. The exact date of their arrival has not yet been learned. Jolin Paul Jones Coming to Hospital. John Paul Jones, traveling-passenger agent for the Southern Pacific lines- In Oregon, will reach Portland today from California, where he was taken seriously ill. He will be taken to the hospital upon his arrival here. He is still very sick. Assistant-General Passenger Agent Scott met Mr. Jones at Ashlcftid yesterday and will accompany him back to Portland. Mrs. Jones is also coining with her hus band. News that Mr. Jones had almost wholly recovered was a mistake. He may be kept in the hospital for some time. Commission Postpones Inspection. The proposed Inspection of the Oregon Water Power lines by the Oregou Rail road Commission has been postponed and will not be held this week as planned. Commissioner Aitchison had arranged to go over the system with General Mana ger Fuller, but it was -found convenient to take the trip at a later date. ANSWERS - MR. MURDOCK A. Crortoii Points Out Kffcct of Sellwood Voting Dry. . Vigorous contradiction is made by A. Crofton of the Municipal Association's statement that if Sellwood votes "dry" at the June election it will not affect the Mount Hood brewery, which is situated in that precinct. Sellwood has voted wet at each election for three years past, but this year the anti-saloon forces, headed by Rev. G. I Tufts, have Joined three other precincts onto Sellwood and called for a local-option election on the entire group, hoping to thus smother the "wet" majority in Sellwood and put the whole group dry. In a speech made at a prohibition meet ing In Sellwood on Wednesday evening. Miller Murdoch:, of the Municipal Associ ation, made the statement referred to concerning the Mount Hood brewery. In reply to a question as to whether Sellwo&d going dry would prevent the sale of beer at The Oaks. Mr. Murdock also said that he believed no license had been Issued for Tbe Oaks. In regard to these matters, Mr. Crof ton, who is manager of the Brewers' and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association, said yesterday: "I think Mr. ilurdock cannot have been correctly reported. The local-option law Is very plain. It says that after prohibi tion has been adopted 'It shall be unlaw ful to sell or exchange or give away any intoxicating liquor within the territory included in said prohibition order." That la clear enough. The prohibitionists have always denied this, but the law is per fectly plain, and when Albany went dry last year the Albany Brewing Company had to establish a selling office at Salem and sell its product from another city. "It may be remembered also that when we suggested that the present local-option law be amended so as to exempt brewer ies, tbe Anti-Saloon League made a great protest against it. "Their attorneys have suggested that the law would not be en forced against a brewery, but we are sick of laws made for effect and which are not to be enforced except at spasmodic periods. Let us have good laws that can and ought to e enforced. "Regarding the matter of a license be ing Issued to The Oaks, the records at the City Hall show that a license for The Oaks has already been Issued and paid for." LANE MEETING TONIGHT. Don't miss it.
