Lane Will Invite Mayors of
Cities to Unite on Plan.
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."

ELLIS A CANDIDATE
Seeks Re-election From Sec
ond District.
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.

CHIEF CAMPBELL'S BUDGET
Asks Additions to Fire Department,
Among Them Automobile.
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.)

moning of the Adjutants-General of Ore

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.

Mrs. Lee D. Hewitt Files Suit for a
