Not even a new pipe may be smoked on the street cars this morn ins;, when the return to the old rule of stops at the far side of the street, except at track crossings, becomes effective. In Its order the company con cedes to the wishes of the people and expects the smokers to make a conces sion in return. The real reason for the order to return to the far stops, so a number of conductors say, is because the near-stops have cost the company a loss of money. On the suburban cars, like those running to Wood lawn. Vernon, Piedmont, Multnomah and Brooklyn, peo ple entering: at the front end during; the busy hours of the days stood on the platform with the motorman, and when the conductor, unable to see the new ' arrivals from the rear, came forward to collect the fares, there was "nothing doinfT." Rveryone said he had paid his fare, and he found more witnesses to in? tact tnan a voter couia get to an affidavit at a primary election. Also, there were more accidents daily than during the time the far-stop rule was in force. One conductor said that as many as four reports of accidents were received In one day. and these had to be settled up by the claim agent in order to prevent litigation. The same man had counted 13 fares which a conductor had missed on a crowded suburban car through the ad mission of people at the front end. Fred V. Hoijha.h Will. Speak. Fred V. Holman. member of the charter revi sion commission, has accepted an invita tion to address the t'nited Bast Side Push Clubs Thursday night, November 12, at the &argent Hotel. Grand and Hawthorne avenues. He will 'present his views as to what sort of a charter Portland should have. His views are somewhat different from the others who have talked before the united federated clubs. Mr. Holman believes that Portland should have a charter modeled along the lines of the present one. but with certain changes, which he will outline in his talk to the delegates and others Interested. These charter lectures, which will be given at each club meeting as far as possible are for the information of the public and all interested are Invited to attend. Another Raid ok Ah Fam.lt. Despite the announcement recently made by the police committee of the Executive Board that owners of property where Chinese gambling was being conducted would be proceeded against this form of vice seems to flourish still in Chinatown. Last night Detectives Hyde and Craddock raided a gambling den. at 89 Second street, only a few doors away from the police station and took into custody six Chinese whom they caught playing fantan. The prison ers gave the names of Ah Kee, Ah Jim, Ah Sing. Ah Wing. Ah Lee and Ah Sam. They were allowed to go after each had deposited $r0 cash bail. Fails to Impucat Atwoods. A Coro ner's jury yesterday failed to implicate the Drs. 'Atwood in causing the death of Pearl Lamb, which occurred a week ago as the result of a criminal operation. Dr. C. H. and Dr. C. H. T. Atwood had been arrested and are under bonds In connec tion with the young woman's death. The Jury declared in Its verdict that the young woman had come to her death as the result of a criminal operation by persons unknown. A number of wit nesses were examined, but the investiga tion failed to place the responsibility for the young woman's death. Add?o Machines Prove Usefui. Through the courtesy of G. S. Brackett, general agent of the Comptograph Com pany, the election department of The Ore gonlan was provided with electric Compt ograph machines Tuesday night, which greatly facilitated the work of compiling and completing the total votes.

Election night was the occasion of great activity in the general offices of the Horn Telephone Company. As had been announced previously, the management of this company was pre pared to supply its subscribers with information concerning the election both in this state and throughout the country. To do so it was necessary to Install 17 additional trunk lines and to employ 20 expert operators. During the night many of the company's 8000 subscribers enjoyed the novelty of re ceiving election returns over the tele phone at their homes without the trouble of going downtown. WANTS NEW ENGINE-HOUSE Mayor Sajs One Needed on Third and Gllsan. Mayor Lane is determined that there shall be a modern engine-house of brick construction, to accommodate the largest and most powerful engine owned by the city and a water tower soon to be pur chased, at Third and Glisan streets, in the heart of the great wholesale district. The fire committee of the Executive Board, believing that this should be done, voted a resolution at a special meeting yesterday afternoon, asking the City Council to appropriate from the tire fund of 1908 J22.00O for the purpose. It Is fully believed the Council will do thie. as the urgent necessity for protection In that locality Is known by all of the officials. Fire Chief Campbell and numerous others agree that an engine-house at the foot of Third street Is the most urgent necessity In the city In the line of fire protection. The whole district la at the mercy, of the flames, as was demonstrat ed several months ago. when a fire raged over four blocks, working great havoc. It is said by Mayor Lane and others Informed us to the conditions that had there been an engine-house such as is proposed at Third and Glisaa streets. the firemen could have gained control of the flame and stamped them out before the first block was destroyed. s a matter of fact, the very fire en gine which will be stationed at this new house. If it Is built, came very near being destroyed In that ftre. The engine Is stored in that district, but the flames were checked before they reached the store-house, and the apparatus, costing 17000, was saved by a small margin. It has been stored for one year, as the city never Installed It, there being no suitable house for it. There nave been several effors to build an engine-house at Third and Gli san streets, but It was rlleged by some regarding the site secured by Mayor Lane as city property from the railroad company, that there Is a Blight cloud on the title, for there is a mortgage on the ground, entered Into by the corpora tion. Mayor Lane and his Board, how ever, have decided that the time has come to act. regardless of the mortgage, and the first definite action was taken by the fire committee yesterday after noon, when tbe resolution was adopted recommending that the Council pass an ordinance appropriating fcB.000 from the fire funds to be used in the construction of this engine-house. The matter Is therefore to come before the Council for action, but not at the next session, as the Executive Board will not act in time on the resolution voted by the committee. FIRES ON FAMILY SEATS FOR HILL BANQUET Places for Dinner at Commercial Club Are Almost Taken. Out of 350 seats for the banquet to be tendered to President James j. Hill, of the Great Northern and President Howard Elliott, of the Northern Pa cific, and their party at the Commer cial Club Friday night, all but about 12 had been taken up to yesterday after noon. General Charles F. Beebe. who Is In charge of the programme, will announce the names of the speakers tomorrow morning;. WILL XOT INCREASE SERVICE Company Refnses to Double Num ber of All East Side Streetcars. For the present the All-East-Bide car service will not be Improved by re ducing the interval between cars from 10 to 3 minutes. To a committee from the East Side Business Men's Club, which called on him to ask for increase in service, Manaager Fuller has re plied by letter announcing that the cats on the line at no time are over crowded, and, at least for the present, the' company does not feel Justified in increasing the service. It is intimated in the letter, however, that when Grand avenue has been paved north to Hoiia Oay avenue and the car tracks laid and curves put In at Holladay and Grand avenue, the matter will be further con sidered. The principal complaint about the cars on thin line is that they do not seem to connect with other cars. How ever, since they have been in service they have been found of great conveni ence to the public. From being an ex periment the All-East-Side cars have become a necessity and It Is hoped that the service will be increased when the Improvements have been made to Grand avenue north from Sullivan's Gulch and the curves put In there.

Italian Wounds Mother and Brother, Then Cuts Throat. INJURIES ARE NOT FATAL Sebastian Greco Also Attempts to Kill Sister Marie, Over Whose Proposed Marriage Quarrel Had Originated. Mrs. Tunocenza Greco, aged 63 years, and her sons Sebastian and Salvator are at St. Vincent's Hospital as the result of injuries inflicted by the son. Sebastian, who, after shooting his mother and brother as the culmination of a family row yesterday morning, attempted to end his own life by cutting his throat with a razor. None of the injuries, however, is re garded aa fatal, and at the hospital it is said the three victims wtll recover. Marie Greco, lg years of age, the cause of the trouble and witness of the shoot ing, escaped uninjured. The shooting occurred at 10 o'clock yes terday morning, at the Greco residence, ISl Harrison street. It was not entirely unexpected for the brothers had quar reled frequently for several weeks and, it Is said, threats had been made. This fraternal row resulted from the belief on the part of Sebastian that his sister intended to marry James Tore ha, a friend of Salvator. Three weeks ago, it is said, the brothers drew knives and cursed each other on the street in front of the resi dence and it was feared at that time that further trouble would ensue. It was at the breakfast table yesterday morning that the row culminated in a shooting affray. Sebastian Is said to have mentioned the subject of his sister's proposed marriage and his remarks were resented by his brother. "Sebastian said that I should never marry Torcha," said Marie Greco, in tell ing of the shooting. "He said he would kill me before he would' let me marry Torcha. I was angry and told htm I would enter a convent, and not marry at all. Then Salvator said to Sebastian to let me marry anybody I wished, for I was of age. Sebastian Jumped from his chair and cursing Salvator began to shoot with a revolver he pulled from his pocket. As Salvator fell, Stabastlan fired at me, but the ball missed. "I ran and he followed me into the front room. My mother tried to hold him and as he was firing at me one of the bullets struck her in the jaw. Then he ran out of the house." leaving the house Sebastian ran to Mill street and reaching the blacksmith shop of A. Schmldllng, 206 Mill street, he ran Into the rear and, drawing a razor from his pocket, slashed his throat. Schmldllng and a companion saw him and succeeded in disarming him and pre venting him from carrying out his Inten tions. In the meanwhile police had been notified and on the arrival of an ambu- , lance the wounded persons were removed ! to St. Vincent's Hospital. Examination showed that the would-be murderer and Buictde had missed severing his jugular vein only by the narrowest margin. It also showed that Salvator had received a slight wound in the abdomen and that the aged woman had been shot through the cheek and Jaw, the bullet emerging from beneath the right ear. ! Game Loser of Freak Bet on Bryan Crowds Block streets to View Eata cada CltUea. Securely Chained to Donkey In Window. OREGON Democrats are game losers, particularly when a wager is in volved. That fact was demonstrated yes terday when J. R. Wilson, of Estacada, upon learning that Taft had been elected, came to Portland bright and early to ful fill his part of an election wager with Sol Levi, proprietor of the Remington Liquor Company and which required him to stand in Levi's storeroom window, handcuffed to a donkey, mascot of the Iemocratic party, for sta consecutive hours beginning at noon. l.ess than two weeks before election dav Wilson and Levi became parties to a wager the penalty of which proposed that the loser should stand on exhibition in Levi s storeroom window, securely manacled to a donkey from 12 o'clock noon to 6 P. M. on the day following the determination of the result of the elec tion. Levi had the Taft end of the bar gain while Wilson chose Bryan as the winner. According to the terms of the wager. Wilson presented himself at the Third street llouor store Bhortly before noon yesterday. Mr. Levi in the meantime had engaged the services of a donkey and promptly at noon Wilson and the donkey were Installed in the window, inseparably bound by cold steel.
