Far Sid Car Stop Todat. 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.

Election Returns by Phone.
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. The novel exhibi
