PROPOSES JOINT ACTION Portland Executive Hopes to End Present Endless-Chain System of ' Ordering Vagrants Out of Town Slay Provide Work. Mayor Lane announced, In an Inter view yesterday, that he Intends to in vite the Chief Executives of all cities of the first class In Oregon, Washing ton and California to enter Into nn oiganl7ation to end the troubles caused by the present system of driving' the vagrant classes. fom pillar to post. As soon as the Mayor completes his an nual message he will take up this mat te. and strive to secure the co-opera-:lon of all large municipalities through out the Pad do Coast. '"The present system of shipping vagrants from city to city and of driv ing them about la a bad plan and makes criminals of some, who might uncei better treatment, be male valu kble citizens." said Mayor Lane yester day. "I have no sentimental pity Tor those fellows who will not work and who prefer to be hobos, but In order to stop this endless chain proposition of sending the vagrant hordes from one place to another, I would like to see reoperation between the officials of the large cities, and hope they will In vestigate and decide to take an interest In some plan that will bring about this end. "The way the police authorities of pur cities now do. in ordering our vagrants from their cities, is absoluta ly high-handed and unconstitutional." continued Mayor Lane. "It ought not to continue In this day of enlighten ment. We ought to devise a way to take care of these classes without driv ing them from our midst; but. If we cannot do this, we can at least assist each other In keeping records of all hobos ordered to leave any Coast city, o that other officials may have some knowledge that they are coming. "I mentioned my plan to Mayor Wil liam H. Moore, of Seattle, when he was here several weeks ago, and he fa vored It; but his time here was so short that we could not go Into details. I im strongly in favor of each' city tak ing care of Its own vagrants. I am willing to do so in Portland. It is a big problem, but If the others will lock after their hobos, we will take care of those that find their way here. But k can't stand it to have hobos driven here from every other pla?e on the Coast! And that is just what I want to stop. Let each municipality furnish Its vagrant classes with work; those who are willing to labor can then get places, and those who won't work csn be arrested and put to work under re straint of their liberty. "I don't know that I am very greatly In favor of rockplles, although they un doubtedly do much good. I have thought that a big farm would be prof itable, and that by Its operation hy the city or county, some good might be accomplished- In the reformation of va grants." Hundreds of vagrants throughout the Pacific Coast States furnisn one of the greatest problems with which the po lice have to deal. It Is the custom of the police In every city to order hobos out every week, the Idea. bsng to clear their own cities of this class. How ever, while Seattle or Tacama police are driving vagrants out of those places, -Fortland and Spokane, for ex ample, are also driving out vagrants, so that the endeavor to be rid of them Is fruitless. A New Version of the Origin of "Tom and Jerry" ONE of the Indications more or less in evidence, less nowadays than a few years ago, that the Happy New Year sea son is "in our midst," is thesteamlng Tom and Jerry. Joe Penny, he of the smiling count enance and nimble fingers when making change at the Portland Hotel buffet, said yesterday that a young fellow had tiroken into print a day or so ago asking for the origin of the seductive and Insidious con coction that looks so tempting and brings such dire results If toyed with too assid uously. "Now, let me tell you the facts about the origin of the name," said Mr. Penny; "along in the early GO'S In New York, where I lived at the time, there was a saloon known to men about town as Tom & Jerry's. I knew these boys well and took my noonday lunch at their place for some months, but to the best of my recollection the owners of the place were known to patrons only by their first names. Doubtless they had family names as well, but the sign on the window and on the swinging door was Tom &x Jerry, and it appeared to make little difference which name was given which man we knew them as a firm. "Well sir, one Winter they had a bowl of what looked like the pudding we called 'floating island. In the old days, and do yet for that matter, and asked their patrons that day to have a cup of 'Tom & Jerry' in honor of the day. I recall mow that the 'boys' who dropped In that afternoon and accepted one cup of the .New Year cheer remained to toast new arrivals until far Into the night only the words 'Happy New Year' along towards night sounded like 'Hap'near.' "Whether Tom or Jerry originated the formula. I am unable to state, but I do know that the name stuck, and was first served In that little cafe in New York, and that I was one of the few men who called that day and showed up the next. Why the others did not come I leave it to you to guess." Try to Prove Walsh Property Good. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Testimony was in troduced in the trial of John R.

HERETO MEND HIS FENCES Pendleton Man Outlines His Plat form Uncertain as to Parcels Post Law Favors Judge Tart for President. v Congressman W. R. Ellis, of the Sec ond District, Is to be a candidate for re election, subject to the will of the voters at the primary election next April. Judge Ellis arrived in Portland last night from Pendleton. He said his reason for coming home at the present time was to register, so that he could file his notice of can didacy with the Secretary of State in ac cordance with the provisions of law, which requires that a candidate must be a registered voter at the time of filing his notice. "I have already said to my friends who have asked me in regard to this matter that I am a candidate for re-election, and that Is my purpose in coming home to register," continued Judge Ellis. "At the present time there are no questions that I would care to discuss, though there are a number of matters of public interest be fore Congress to which I am giving con siderable attention and consideration. "One of these proposed measures which I favor is the establishment of postal savings banks along the lines recom mended by Postmaster-General Meyer. An objection was raised in some quar ters, that postal banks would drain small communities of cash, but Postmaster-General Meyer's plan would overcome that objection, as he proposes that deposits made in postofflces shall be re-deposlted In the National banks nearest to those postofflces. so that the money may be used in the regular channels of trade. With that plan in operation I am of the opinion that postal banks would be a direct benefit to banks In the communities in which they are situated, for it would In great measure relieve them of deposi tors of small amounts, who in tha event of panics are the first to become alarmed, and start rung on banks. "As to the parcel-post scheme, i have not made up my mind. I would say, in passing, that one objection -1 had before looking into the plans suggested by the Postmaster-General was dispelled upon hearing the subject discussed by him not long ago. I told him some of my con stituents feared if the low rate was granted on parcels sent through the mails. It would mean that mail-order houses In the big cities would be able to enter into competition with retail stores In places served with free rural delivery, much to the disadvantage of the mer chants in the smaljer towns and cities of the West. Mr. Meyer explained that it was not his intention to favor those big concerns in that way. ' ' "It was Intended to allow the low rata only to districts where the residents on free-delivery routes might send to their usual places of purchase and have their goods sent promptly, but that the "low rate would be so restricted that the large Eastern cities would not receive the bene fit, except within a limited radius. "I find in conversation with members from the Middle and Southwest that sen timent is strong in favor of Mr. Taft as the Presidential nominee of the Repub licans in June. In fact. It looks to me to be a case of the field against Mr. Taft. Eliminating the several state favorite sons there Is a good deal of quiet talk of Governor Hughes, and I should say. Including the strongest Taft localities, Mr. Hughes Is second choice." Mr. Ellis Is quite lame, the result of too much "running errands," as he de scribed it, to the various departments for his constituents in Oregon. He has not entirely recovered .from the effects of an Injury received some time ago, and his doctor told him in Washington that the lameness was caused by too much exer tion. He will remain In Portland until tomorrow night, then go to Pendleton and leave for Washington Monday night. Congressman Hawley expects to come home to register In February, according to Judge Ellis.

Other officers chosen . are: Vice-president. W. S. Love; secretary, Walter Jackson; treasurer, E. E. Ful ton. H. Calef, who has been president, declined to allow his name to be used for re-election. After the election had been concluded selections were given by the East Side High School orchestra, the Larger or chestra, and the East Side High School quartet. Stirring speeches were made by C C. Chapman, Bury L Dasent and C. N. Black. Mr. Black spoke for Lewis M. Head, who could not come, and sent the suggestions: "Get the circuses to cooro to the Eaet Side; build and patronize a good theater; develop East and West Side streets Burnslde, Morrison, Sandy road, Hawthorne as they are the main traveled highways; get- a portion of the route of the proposed rose parade; advocate building of streetcar tunnels, and an elevated roadway on East Mor rison street; go after the new Harri man depot; urge construction of croes clty carllnes; develop an East Side rose and endeavor to have it chosen official rose of Portland, and change name of Sandy road to Rose City avenue." Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. D., a guest, delivered an optimistic address. E. J. Ladd spoke for the poultry show, to be opened next Wednesday at Grand avenue and East Alder street. A letter was read from B. Lee Paget calling attention to the show. Then came the athletic numbers, consisting of a fine jugging performance by D. Burg and a three-round boxing contest between Charles Bush and Fred Ely. The Port land Ad Club was represented by the following delegates, who contributed largely to the success of the meeting: W. J. Hofmann. C. N. Black, C. C. Chapman, Scott Boaorth, Bury I. Da "serit, H. W. Little, Fred Johnston, R. M. Hall, James M. Reeves. Will F. Powell, David E. .Bloch, W. J. Tucker, F. G. Ople, R. W.

Chief Campbell, of the Fire Department, has asked for an additional battalion chief for East Portland, and plans to di vide the territory east of the river Into two districts in the near future. His rec ommendation to this effect has received favorable consideration from the ways and means committee of the Council, and it is believed that the extra official will be allowed. Fire Department needs will be consid ered at the next meeting of the ways and means committee, at which time it will be decided what recommendation will be made to the Council. Chief Campbell also wants a stenographer, and declares that such an assistant would relieve him of much routine business and allow him to be out of the office more to supervise the work of the department. Also Included in Chief Campbell's esti mate for 1908 is an automobile and, if this Is granted him it will become necessary to appoint a chauffeur to run the ma chine, as the Chief is not an automobile expert . Owing to the rapid Increase in popula tion and the large increase in building during the past few years. Chief Camp bell finds that the Fire Department must have many improvements and additions, if anywhere near adequate protection is to be furnished. The East Side, espe cially, he points out, is growing so fast that two battalion chiefs are positively necessary. Will Attend Daily Court Sessions, as He la Familiar With History of Most of the Cases. Probation Officer Hawley, who has 'done efficient service with the Juvenile Court during Judge Frazer's term, has been or dered to report to Chief of Police Grltz macher hereafter, and will . be placed upon a regular beat instead of dealing with juveniles, as formerly, notwith standing that he is especially well fitted for tha work which he has been doing with the court. Although Mr. Hawley will be detailed as a regular policeman, he has been ordered to report at the Ju venile Court sessions each day, as he knows the history of practically every case which has ever come up for adjudi cation and his knowledge will be invalu able. Under the new regime it will be al- J most impossible for him to render effi cient service either as a regular officer or with the Juvenile Court, and both tasks will be broken Into, the one by the other. This move has been made by Chief Gritzmacher notwithstanding the fact that a new judge has just taken up the Juvenile Court work, and Mr. Hawley's services have been used there to excel lent advantage. This change has fol lowed the placing of all policemen In pub lic buildings on regular- beats. Relates to Maneuver Camps. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 2. (Special.) Adjutant-General Hamilton says the sum moning of the Adjutants-General of Ore gon. Washington and California to Wash ington is solely to confer with the War Department as to maneuver camps this year and the organization of Coast Artil lery reserves, and that the suggestion for the conference originated with state and not with Federal authorities. SUED FOR BALANCE OF $3880 Dealer in Canned Music Forced to Wall by Manufacturer. The Rudolph Wurlftzer Company, of Cincinnati, O., has brought suit against A. N. King to recover $3880 on a con ditional sale of musical instruments, which the company alleges it furnished King to be paid for In monthly install ments. These payments, it is asserted, ceased to be made by King last Feb ruary. The complaint sets forth that on June 27. 1906, thecompany sold King five Wurlltzer harps with music rolls and motors, IS oak pianinos. 18 Emerson motors, ten pianino rolls, and one mandolin quartet, for 17865, and on De cember 19 sold him two more Wurlltzer harps with two music rolls and motors for 1760. It is asserted that King gave notes to pay this amount in J9 monthly payments, and also gave chattel mort gages to cover the amount. The company alleges that there is a balance due of $3SS0, and asks that the mortgage be foreclosed, and the goods sold by the Sheriff, and that King be compelled to pay any diflclency that may remain after the sale. These instruments, which furnished a large part of the canned music for North End saloons and resorts, were recently attached by the Sheriff's deputies and stored pending the outcome of the suit. .ACCUSES HUSBAND OF NEGLECT Mrs. Lee D.

Mrs. Hewitt asserts that on September 15 she saw her husband coming out of a rooming-house with a woman, and that when she remonstrated with him for his con duct he used abusive language toward her.

The striking bollermakers at the South Tacoma shops were yesterday notified that the strike had been called off. The strikers on the Northern Pacifle system acknowledged defeat several months ago, but have been holding out to aaBist the strikers on the Erie road.
