THE ZI9RCTXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JAJTUARY 10, 1908. 13 10 SEE NO PAY" Council Favors This Plan on Street Railway. MAKE THE UNITED ADOPT Strong Sentiment That Requirement for This Kind of Oar Be Embod ied in Franchise for the New Koad Better Car Service. There is a strong sentiment among members of the City Council In favor of the passage of an ordinance requiring the streetcar companies of Portland to furnish seats for all passengers, or carry free of charge all who stand. This was evidenced by the expressions of several members of the Council during the dis cussion of provisions to be included In the franchise sought by the United Rail roads Company, at a special session of the streets committee, held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. At one time It looked as if a "no-seat-no-fare" clause would be put into the franchise, but It was passed over. 'I believe that we should insert a clause tn that franchise calling upon the com pany to furnish seats for every passenger carried, or that it receive no pay within the city limits for all who are forced to stand." said Councilman Cottel. "I don't see why the streetcar companies should not be made to do this, and now Is a food time to Initiate it." "I have had an ordinance drawn up for a long time, which I could Introduce," said Councilman Rushlight, "that would cover all these points, and I am In favor of such a measure. I have all of the court decisions touching the matter, and in all cases It has been held to be con stitutional." "If we should put in a clause such as Councilman Cottol advocates," commented Councilman Concannon, "the cars would run past every one. after the seats be came full, and others who desired to ride would be left waiting." City Attorney Kavanaugh, who was present to assist the committee in hand ling the proposed franchise, said he had been investigating the matter and had arrived at the conclusion that the city can enforce an ordinance requiring tliat every passenger be furnished a seat or carried free; furthermore, he said, the police powers are so broad that the com pany officials can be forced to stop cars at every crossing within the corporate limits of the city, so they could not pass any one by. "The' provisions of any franchises the city has granted have no place in this mutter." said City Attorney Kavanaugh. "it docs not matter what the' Council may have done, there is vested in the city tho power to regulate the time-tables and the operation of cars on any of the lines In Portland a right which cannot be bar tered away." It lrf said to be probable that action will he taken by members of the Council to improve the conditions existing with re gard to the streetcar service of 'the city, as several of them expressed the belief that the time is ripe for action. No radical changes were made in the terms of the franchise that will probably be granted the United Railroads. The ordinance was carefully inspected, sec tion by section, with none but the mem bers of the committee and the City At torney present. It had been announced that tho committee would hold a special session for the purpose, and Herman Wit tenberg and others of his company were present. They were told, however, that the matter would be postponed until 2 P. M. next Tuesday, and left, after which the committee decided to take up the franchise. The railway people will have ample opportunity to be heard before the franchise Is submitted to the Council for action. The only important action of the com mittee was In voting to compel the com pany to complete its line to Mount Cal vary Cemetery before it will be allowed to operate any cars in the city, and to order that It must complete its road to Illllsboro by January 1. 1911. or forfeit Its franchises. It is certain that Mr. Wit tenberg will set up emphatic objection to the provision which forbids the opera tion of cars within the city limits be fore the completion of the line to Mount Calvary. He contends and will fight for the right to operate the city end of the line as soon as it is possible to get cars for the service. tLtrBKIIK SATURDAY MATINEE Famous Artist Will Present Pro gramme at Heilig Tomorrow.

WHY SHE LEFT HER HOME Believing She Had Failed in Studies, She Does Not Re-enter University, but Deceives Mother by Going Dally to the Campus. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or, Jan. 9. (Special.) Miss Winifred Kelly, who returned to Eugene this afternoon. Is reported ill in bed. She refused to tell why she suddenly left home, but It has been learned from the registrar that the girl has not been attending the University this year, as her family had supposed. Her uncle. Dr. Cheshire, explains that Miss Kelly, believing she had failed In her June examinations, was under the im pression that she would not be able to take up her college work until the opening of the second semester. Fearing to let her parents know that she. had not re-entered' the University, the girl went to the campus each day, but the strain of trying to keep the secret from her mother has been too much, and she is now on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Rather than face her mother with the truth, be cause she had been reproved for fail ure in previous years in high-school work, she decided on the impulse of the moment to leave home and to let the future take care of itself. ' The family Is again united and happy, but the saddest part of the whole affair is the fact that the young woman labored 'under a misapprehen sion regarding her 'standing in college, which in no way would have prevented her from taking up her studies when the University opened in September last. LEAVES HOME IS A "POUT" "Winifred Kelly Believed to Have Been Reproved by Mother. -ALBANY, Or., Jan. 9. (Special.) Miss Winifred Kelly, whose mysterious dis appearance from her home In Eugene Tuesday evening caused such great ex citement In that city yesterday, returned home today noon. She was accompanied by her uncle. Dr. W. L. Cheshire, of Eu gene, who came to this city this morning to return with her. Alternating between cheerful evasion and semi-tearful requests to be excused from explaining, Miss Kelly this morning reiterated her refusal late last night to make a delinlte statement as to why she left home so suddenly. It Is definitely learned, however, that she had had some trouble at home, and In a "pout," after her mother had reproved her, she came to Albany on the train, reaching here at 8:50 Tuesday night. Miss Kelly was greatly surprised at the furore her absence had caused. She avers that she intended to return to Eugene yesterday, but missed the train she in tended to take, and that she would have gone home today anyway, had not search been Instituted for her. 'I came, down on private business," was Miss Kelly's response when pressed for an explanation today. She explained the mystery of her trip by saying that she decided to come so suddenly that she did not have time to let her parents know she was here, but supposed her mother would know where she had gone and that there would be no alarm. Smilingly and diplomatically she evaded and avoid ed all efforts to learn the exact cause of her disappearance, but said she would explain fully after she got home. "It's nobody's business, anyway she vouchsafed. When shown press reports of her dis appearance she seemed to realize for the first time what alarm her absence had created, and then her cheerful manner changed abruptly. "Think of the notoriety!" she tearfully exclaimed. When Miss Kelly reached Albany Tues day evening she went at once to the Russ House, where she registered plainly as "Miss Winifred Kelly. Eugene." She re mained in her room alone all Friday night and left It only for meals all day yester day. That her determination to leave Eugene was sudden is evidenced by the fact that she brought no baggage of any Kind. TRUSTEE COMPANY PLANS WILL SOOJf DECIDE DETAILS OF TWO NEW BUILDINGS. Plans for W. D. Fenton's Structure Will Soon Be Ready Progress on Hazelwood Block.

An agreement is drawn with Russell & Blyth, who own the small V-shaped lot on the corner, tapering to but a few feet in the rear, for a party wall on ground belonging to that firm and Judge Fenton, so that in the future a building may be -erected on tho corner having walls already built on two sides.

The firm ex pects to occupy the premises between now and the first of next month, and in about ten days will begin removing heavy machinery from the old location at Fifth and Oak and to Install new machinery as well.

Japan Withdraws Privilege. VICTORIA. Jan. 9. Owing to the recent demands from the United States and Canada for the restriction of emigration THE SOUL OF A HOTEL How One Manager With High Ideals Made His House famous. HINTS FOR PARTICULAR PEOPLE To people who appreciate good food. and that means most people, the kitchen of their favorite restaurant or hotel is an object of much interest. Too often the place where food is pre pared and the methods pursued there will not bear close Inspection, and one often feels that "ignorance is bliss" in this Instance at least. It is a relief to know 'that the kitchens of many modem hotels are models of cleanli ness and hygiene. , In one of the great hotels for which New York is famous, the St. Regis, perfection in the kitchen has been car ried to the superlative. It is a favorite expression of Mr. R. M. Haan, wno presides so well over the destinies of Hotel St. Regis, that, 'The Soul of a Hotel is the Kitchen. If that is wrong all is wrong." A visit to the series of great white halls In which the tempt ing edibles are prepared will convince the most exacting person that ins Soul" of this hotel is right and rightly managed. Lined with white tiling. floored with white marble, fitted wltn glass and porcelain receptacles for all kinds of food, every object is spick and span from tbe great soup kettles to the cook's - apron. In this won- drously wholesome kitchen the ven tilation is so perfect that dust and dis agreeable odors are unknown. Add to this the fact that only the best 01 everything in the way of edibles Is provided for use in this perfect kitchen and that the chef and his numerous assistants are masters in the art of cookery, one can readily see why dining at the St. Regis is bo enjoyable and so healthful withal. Not only is "the soul" of the St. Regis right, but everything is right even to the charges, which are the same as those of other hotels of the flrst class. from Japan, according to reports re ceived today, the Tokio government has withdrawn a privilege formerly given to emigrants to America whereby their term of conscription was reduced to one year providing they return from abroad be fore they were 32 years of age.
