' Members of the streets committee of the City Council yesterday struck out the words "act of od." which were contained In a proposed railway exten sion franchise, conforming with the usuaJ form of city contract. Council man Vaughn, chairman of tha commit tee, requested the elimination of the objectionable words and he was sup ported by tha other member. Council men Kellaher. Cottel, Concannon, rrls coll and Wallace. The offensive words were part of the proposed franchise sought by F. B. Holhrook & Co.. for an extension of the Alberta-street line of the Portland Railway. Light Power Company. It Is simply desired by the petitioner to secure this grant In order to open up th trolley line to Rose City Fark. A originally drafted, the franchise, which was merely a stereotyped form of con tract, required the company to com plete the track In a certain time, bar ring: a long; list of possible accidents and ending: "or act of God." "I would earnestly ask the committee to eliminate those words 'act o God.' " said Mr. Vaughn when that section was read. "It ha long- been offensive to me to have that clAuse In any contract and for once I would greatly like to have H stricken out. It seems to me Irreverent and the Almighty, to my way of thinking, has nothing whatever to do with the case and we should not hold him responsible." The committee waa unanimous In voting to eliminate the words, and unless a change Is made later one Portland franchise will go down In history a containing no such phrase. DR.

Irrigation, stock-raising, ngrlcultulture and horti culture and the middle ground will represent a replica In electric lights and flowers of Crater Lake. The time is now so short that April 55 will probably be set as the last date for the entering of floats in this elab orate parade. At least a dozen cities and towns have closed their contracts with the management and these, with the half dozen or more of historical pieces that are already under construc tion, will form the mrst magnificent pageant ever seen In this part of the country. Such Is the testimony of all those who have seen the work that has already been done by the float-builders and artists now busy making these pieces. GRAVEL PIT IN PIEDMONT? Oonnollmsm Tanghn Will Try to Get Permit Through Council. Councilman Vaughn, chairman of the streets committee of the Council, has started an agitation to secure a permit for the opening of a gravel pit at some point In Piedmont. He says the people of his ward desire this, as they have a plan under way whereby .they propose making hard-surface Improvements on a number of streets in the district bounded by Killingsworth, Ainsworth, Grand and Union avenues, and they would like to use the proposed gravel pit to secure some needed material. Owing to the great amount of trouble that arose in Woodlawn and in por tions of Alblna over gravel pits some months ago. It seems doubtful whether any amount of pressure or persuasion can cause, the Council to grant such a permit. All members of the street committee, which met yesterday after noon, were opposed. excepting Mr. Vaughn, who said that to open a pit would be against his judgment, but that his constituents wished It done, and that he would work for tt for that reason. Gcer for Congress. His special hobby for 50 years has been Improved waterways. Tomorrow and Monday will posi tively be the last days for discount on East Side gas bills. Portland Gas Company.

For For For . (IDLER IN COUNTY JUL KXTORTIOMST STIl-Ii SATS HB WAS OMiY TOOU Few Additional Facta Are) Iiearned Concerning Austrian Who Threatened Slg. Slcltel. Adolph Adler, the young Austrian who tendered a threatening letter, con taining a demand for 400. to Slg Slchel. Wednesday, waa removed to the County Jail yesterday afternoon to await trial for his offense, the charge being that of attempting to extort money. Efforts to deport the man will likely be dropped and he will be prose cuted by the local authorities with tho Idea of getting him a substantial term In prison. Adler continues to maintain that tie was compelled to deliver the letter by an order of Nihilists having headquar ters In New York, but refuses to give any definite Information concerning his alleged accomplices. As to his fu ture disposition, he seems to have little concern, beyond .saying he does not wish to be deported, aa deportation would mean hla death at the hands of the Nihilists, In whose service he says he has failed. Adler's room was located yesterday forenoon In a lodging-house at Fourth and Salmon streets, and a search of his effects revealed nothing that would In any way assist the detectives who are working on the case. Little was learned by the police yes terday regarding Adler. He waa re peatedly sweated, but would tell noth ing in addition to what he gave out on Wednesday following his arrest.
