MAYOR OPPOSES - IN VAIN
Heatrd Exchanp of Personalities
Mark One of the Most Dramatic
Sessions Civic Legislature Has
Held In Long Time.
BIT OF THE HEATED DIAIOGCE.
Mayor Line In the name of tha
city. I protest airaltut tha adoption
of this report, and I cballensa the
riKht of any Councilman here to vote
on this important matter who ac
cepts passea from tha lighting mo
nopoly, the streetcar company.
Councilman Wills How about tha
clears?
Councilman Cellars I took soma
streetcar tickets. but I never
sneaked down an alley-way and gave
them bark after it was discovered;
but yon did. after smoking- the com
pany's cigars, after being discovered,
you tried to cover it up.
Mayor Lane Tes. I paid them the
full sum: t crammed that little trick
right back down their throaty
Councilman Cellars Only, how
ever, after being discovered.
Major Lane Well. sir. I challenge)
your right to vote. Just the same.
Aftfr one of the moat dramatic
scenes ever enacted in the City Coun
cil chamber, the Council yesterday af
ternoon adopted the report of the com
mittee on lighting by a vote of 6 to 8.
recommending to the Kxecutlve Board
that it let a contract to the Portland
liailwav. Light Power Company for
five years for the municipal lighting;, on
the compromise proposition made by
President Josselyn. for the corporation.
Mayor Lane protested against the adop
tion of the committee report with all
the power at his command, and deliv
ered a scathing speech, at the conclu
sion of which ho challenged the right
of any Councilman to vote on the mat
ter "who accepts passes from the light
ing monopoly, the streetcar company.'
The Mayor declared that such a man
has no right to represent the city.
Immediately great excitement fol
lowed in the Council chamber, which
was crowded, and the Councllmen
looked at one another in astonishment.
The first to be heard was Councilman
Wills, who delights to prod the execu
tive. The Mayor's Cigars.
-How about tha cigars" shouted Wills
above the din. .
"The cigars" referred to were a gift
to Mayor Una from President Josselyn.
of the streetcar company, some months
ago. and, later the Mayor went to tha
headquarters of the corporation and
Iaid Mr. Josselyn the full sum for the
clears. The story was published, and
since then the Councllmen have delight
ed to jibe Mayor Lane about the inci
dent. -as they allege, he did not return
the cigars until some one learned that
lie had received them and smoked them,
while at the same time he was 'ham
mering'.' the company. The Mayor de
clares he smoked but one of the cigars,
and never knew until some time later
who left them at his office. He says
he was absent when the box waa placed
there.
Mayor Lane paid no attention to
Councilman Wills' quip, and Council
1 man Cellars was the next to speak, he
being the one most directly referred to
by the Mayor.
"I took some streetcar tickets,"
shouted Mr. Cellars, "hut I never
'sneaked down an alleyway and gave
hhem hack after ft' was discovered: but
jvou did; after smoking the company's
't-lgars. after being. 'discovered, you
tried to cover it up."
"Yes. I paid the full sum; I crammed
,hat little trick right back down their
throat."
"Only, however, after being discov
ered." replied Mr. Cellars.
"Well. I cha'lenge your right to vote,
iust the same call the roll," retorted
the Mayor, and the rollcall went for
ward, with the following result, the
-ciuestinn being on the adoption of the
committee report:
Ayes Annand. Beldlng, Cellars. Dris-t-oll.
Dunning, Menefee. Wallace and
'"Wills. Noes Bennett, Concannon, Cot
tel. Kellaher, Rushlight and Vaughn.
W hat Contract Means.
The adoption of the committee report
parried the recommendation to the Ex
ecutive Board that another five-year
contract be entered Into with the Port
jlHnd Hallway. Light & Tower Company
.Jot municipal lighting, the rates being
as follows: For street arc lamps at
tached to aerial wires, $58 a year each;
for street arc lamps attached to the un
derground system. $72 a year each; for
.Incandescent lamps. 1 1-2 cents per
(limp per kilowatt hour: the city to pay
(for wire extensions beyond 600 feet
;froin the nearest present arc lamp. It
is.lso carried the recommendation that
Councilman Kellaher's repealing ordi
liur.ee do not pass, so that the old ordi
nance passed by the Council eight
-months ago, authorizing the Kxecutiv-e
Board to let a five-year contract,
stands. The third feature carried by
the report is that the Executive Board
is urged to pay the back bills, which
'it held up because of a long-drawn-out
controversy as to the amount of cur
rent furnished.
Mayor ljne was strongly opposed to
the adoption of the report, and set
forth his views, which are well known,
before entering into the open challenge
against "Councllmen who take passes."
lie declared that the opinion by City
Attorney Kavanaugh, that the Board
had no right to hold up the company's
bills, was founded upon a misstatement
of facts, and that it was unfortunate
that it was done so. lie declared that
It is not true that there is no complaint
as to the quality of the illumination of
the present type of arc lamps on the
streets, and also said the amount of
current called for in the contract is not
furnished. Councilman Cellars replied,
as did also Mr. Kavanaugh, that no
such showing is made In any of the re
ports by the Executive Board, and that
it was therefore regarded as a fact in
compiling the opinion that the only
complaint was as to the amount of cur
rent consumed. .
Take Lane to Task.
Councllmen Wills and Beldlng up
braided the Mayor because he never
asked the City Attorney for an opinion
as to the power of the. Board to iold up
the bills. Councilman Wills said it was.
absurd not to seek "competent legal
advice from the man elected by the peo
ple, instead of drawing upon the lone
member of the lighting committee of
the Board." Mr. Wills said: "If I were
.sick, I would not go to Mr. Kavanaugh
L
AVQRS
for pills or something like that; but if
I needed legal advice. I know of none
to whom I would go so quickly. The
Executive Board should have gone to
him long before this."
Thus the matter Is again sent back
to the Executive Board, which will not
meet until next Tuesday, owing to the
fsct that the regular day is tomorrow.
Christmas. Mayor Lane said last night
that he believes prompt action will be
taken in the matter.

Shopping Troubles

Kvrata Over Cnpa of Tea Within
Hearing of Men.
CHRISTMAS shopping Is a hard task
at its best. To some It's a labor of
joy, while to others, those who are so
lazy, Christmas shopping Is a dreadful
bore. Yesterday afternoon three women
sat in a hotel grill haying a little "tea
light" and this is what the waiter had
to listen to: '
First Woman. Really I'm so very, very
tired. Don't you know that I have been
shopping all day? This tea is so re
freshing. It was so thoughtful of you.
Belle to invite me. Just as I was about
to drop. . Tou know I came down town
this morning and have been in all the
stores. It's Just dreadful how people
will put off buying their things until
the last moment. I almost had my hat
ruined and all that I bought was a
little toy. Gracious. I don't know when
I II get
Second Woman. Poor dear, and she's
o nervous. Belle, you don't know what
a tight wad her husband is. And speak
ing of husbands, you know Muriel? Well,
she told me that if Frank didn't treat
her better she was going to get a
divorce. I had to buy something nice for
my sister and don't you know I was
trair.plid on something dreadfully . In the
stores, and my skirt was Just torn to
shreds, and I bought her an aluminum
tea pot. I had to get her something nice
for I know she has bought me a set
of furs. And
First Woman. Belle did I tell you what
I bought for Mae? Well, after thinking
and thinking for two days I finally made
up my mind to buy her a corset, one of

and both giggled merrily and said:
"Don't speak so loud, that horrid man
with the red tie is listening."
Third Lady. Well, what difference does
It make. Belle, she bought the same
kind that you wear ar.d you have always
said they make you look ten years
younger. And anyway I believe In buy

my Frankie a tin soldier last week and
It took me ail day Friday. My, but it

POSTOFFICE SNOWED VNDER.
The deluge of mail matter coming
Into the Portland poatoffice In the last
few days baa about swamped the
loTce, even as augmented. The local
office ha o far been able to send
out Christmas mail, but on account
of cramped quarters; it tias become
a physical Impossibility to get the
tons of mail received taken from
sacks and handled for delivery. Am
a consequence it will be the middle
of next week before all the accumu
lated matter is disposed of.
that the next time he would have to buy
a present. It taxes my brain too much.
First Woman. Girls. I tell you what
let's do. Let's be real sporty and order
another pot of tea. I've got 40 cents
left and all of my presents have been
boitffht.
The waiter faded away for the tea and
left the three women discussing the
Halns' murder trial.
SUGGESTIONS ASKED FOR
Revision Board Want Information
"to Be Vsed In Framing Charter.
Secretary Wiegand, of the Charter
Revision Commission, Issued a state
ment to the public yesterday, calling
attention to the work of remodeling
the present charter. The members are
very desirous of securing at once all
the Information that any citizen may
possess about the matter of charters,
especially any suggestions as to Im
provements in the manner of handling
the municipal government. The state
ment is as follows:
The. charter committee haa made so much
progress that its subcommittee on codifi
cation and revision haa already met and- be
gun lta work. To this committee is in
trusted the duty of harmonising the new
provisions of the charter with themselvea
and with the old charter, a large part of
which has not been directly changed.
The committee will welcome Information
from all or any sources of ambiguity. In
accuracy or -contradiction in the old charter,
and earnestly requests any person who has
knowledge of any such to send a memo
randum of them in ' writing to C. F.
Wiegand. secretary of the charter commit
tee, at the City HalL
Complaint has often been made of th'e
confused and contradictory provisions In
the existing charter, and the committee
will gladly embrace the opportunity to cor
rect any of these which axe brought to its
notice.
By Kxamplo and Precept.
FOREST GROVE. Or.. Dec. 22. (To the
Editor). In reply to Dr. Owen Adair's
last. T not only advocate a ith amendment
prohibiting the manufacture of alcohol lo
liquors except for medical, mechanical and
experimental purposes, but also a 17th
amendment giving our female citizens the
right to vote. On these propositions the
doctor and I arree. The doctor does not
believe that alcohol and tobacco produce
insanity. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y.,
says: "The excessive use of alcoholic
liquors frequently results In Insanity." "To
bacco used excessively gives rise to the loss
of Intellect and softening of the brain."
That is a good law to require teachers to
teach the effects of alcohol, tobacco, etc.
But no wonder "It Is as a drop in a bucket"
when parenta use them ana by example
teach to the contrary. Not up-to-date doc
tors recommend alcohol for the stomach's
sake and tobacco for toothache. The
theory of proper care and training should
commence with the Infant and has proved
time and again a . complete success. We
should not wait for a child to get into tho
Boys and Olrls' Aid Society or a reform
school, although there the effects of proper
care and surroundings are visible. Our only
hope is in good laws enforced, good precepts
and above all good examples and influences
at all times thrown around our boys and
girls. R. W. TRAVER.
Body of Suicide Found.
The body of an unidentified man
about 25 years of age was found on
Portland Heights yesterday by S. Per
clfalL 584 Hawthorne Terrace. Near
the body was a 32-callber revolver
with one chamber exploded, and a
wound In the rlght temple showed the
cause of death. In" the vest pocket of
the deceased was found a cheap watch,
which was still running, indicating
that death had been recent. I'p to a
late 'hour last night, the remains had
not been Identified. The deceased was
about 5 feet 8 inches in height and
weighed 160 pounds.
This Is Worth Reading.

HUNT FOR SCULPS
Chemawa Plays Catholics on
Local Field Saturday.
"NATIVES" IN GOdD FORM
Local Football Heroes Hope to Re
deem Themselves for Defeat on
Thanksgvlng Bay How
the Teams Size Up.
The Chemawa Indian School football
team, which is to appear in Portland In
a game with the Catholic Young Men's
Club Saturday, will arrive here on
Christmas day. The "Natives" are in fine
shape for the game and have been at
practice continually, since the season
opened.
On the occasion of the former meeting
between the Catholics and the Indians,
at Chemawa on Thanksgiving day. the
latter team was victorious, and the Port
land boys are decidedly anxious to re
verse that decision when they meet
their red rivals on Multnomah Field Sat
urday. The game at Chemawa resulted
In a 6 to 0 score In favor of the Indian
team, at which time It was clear to all
that the two elevens were evenly
matched.
Captain Graham, of the Indian squad,
has been heralded as one of the clever
est players of his weight in the North
west. He plays one of the halfback po
sitions. as1 does Captain Eatch, of the
Catholics. Both are clever young play
ers and have conducted their teams in
the most creditable manner so far this
season. The records of the teams so
far this season are as follows:
Chemawa 6. fnlvenshy of Oregon (second
team) 0.
Chemawa 31, Fort Stevens 6.
Chemawa 6. Catholic Young Men's Club 0.

FIELD MARKED FOR SOCCER
BIG GAME OX MULTNOMAH
GROUNDS TOMORROW.
Club Team Will Have as Opponents
Cricketers Prom British Athletic
Park Championship Stake.
Multnomah Field, scene only of Inter
collegiate football contests on the big
holidays since it was first laid out, will
for the first time be marked for associa
tion football today, in preparation for the
Christmas afternoon game between the
Portland Cricketers, from the British
Athletic Park, near Montavtlla, and Mult
nomah's soccer team. Numbers of foot
ball followers, including scores of M. A.
A. C members, who have never. yet seen
a soccer game, will be In attendance,
while the British population of the city
will be largely represented, since It looks
on the Cricketers as distinctively a Brit
ish team and an exponent of how the
game Is played across the water.
Multnomah is particularly anxious for
the club eleven to win. as a victory will
clinch the state championship, while a
defeat will leave it in doubt for another
month and give the runners-up.the strong
Coluniblas, a chance to carry it off. The
club team has great support also among
the American enthusiasts over the game,
because it is the only league team in
Portland that has a majority -of American-born
players, and a victory over the
Cricketers would be like beating the
United Kingdom at Its own pet sport.
Multnomah's injured men have done
much toward getting back into condition
the last two days and the prospect is
that each eleven will be at Its best when
kick-off comes, at 2:30 Friday afternoon.
Chance May Play.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dee. 23. Frank
Chance, captain of tho Chicago Cubs,
gave out an Interview here last night
regarding the report that he will not
manage the Chicago team the coming
season. According to Chance's state
ment, this difficulty Is not due to money
matters or to any Interference with
Chance's authority in the past. He said:
-I have signed a contract 'to play with
Chicago for three or four years, and If I
don't go there I cannot play any place.
There Is a little difference between Presi
dent Murphy and myself on the money
question, but that is not serious, I never
said I would not. go back to Chicago to
play ball, but that I would prefer not to
go. if the present conditions existed next
year.
N'o Cup Race Next Year.
NEW YORK. Dec. 23. It seems prac
tically certain that there will be no In
ternational yacht race next year. Inas
much as the time limit surrounding the
deed of gift has practically expired.
The reason that there will be no race
during the coming year Is principally the
failure of tho New York Yacht Club to
agree to certain changes in the rules
governing the construction of boats which
have been suggested from time to. time
by Sir Thomas Llpton. who stood ready
to challenge if such changes were agreed
upon.

Hal Danxig writes from Yokohama
that the Reach All-American team is
meeting with phenominal success in the
Orient. The boys have won every game
up to the time Hal took up his pen and
have been treated royally so far. They
are to play at Manila Christmas Day.
Russ Hall has fallen down on his ef
fort to purchase the franchise of the
Vancouver, B. C, club. Manager Dick
Bon, who is controlling owner of the
club, did not look upon the offer of Hall
as quite reasonable enough, and there
fore used excellent judgment In turning
down the former Butte manager.
Pearl Casey has signed a new baseball
player. This of Itself Is of no moment
except for the fact that the Portland
Northwestern League manager is so se
cretive about the-said player that he
refuses to make the name public. Soma
fans have been so unkind as to say that
It is either Eddie Davey or Joe Stutt.
Manager Bob , Brown, of the Spokane
club, has secured a splendid bunch of
talent for next season, which, when
whipped into shape in Brown's well
known manner, will prove a strong con
tender for the honors In the Northwest
ern League next season. Brown Is
rightly styled "The Old Fox." and the
other fellows had better watch him
closely.
The California State League, since the
disagreement whereby it would have been
taken into the fold of organized base
ball, Is threatening to put a team Into
Los Angeles with Danney Shay as man
ager. Such a team would undoubtedly
prove a string attraction In Berry's
bailiwick, but is handicapped by the two
games a week arrangement.
Eastern sporting critics have frequent
ly commented on Manager McCredies
good fortune in securing the services of
Catcher Frank Beaumont, whom they
claim to be one of the best minor league
catchers In the business. Beaumont Is
rated as a much more capable catcher
than Tommy Hess. who. In his day, was
said to be the stellar minor league back
stop during five years.
Mike Lynch Is working hard to get to
gether the players he wants for Seattle
next season, and in this task he is sup
ported strongly by Dugdale. Mike has
sent word to Pearl Casey that he will try
to beat Casey every time they meet.
Casey replied by postal card on which he
inscribed a series of ha-ha-has for the
Tacoman.

If complete rest and the most perfect
conditions imaginable for Nature cure
are what you need, spend your holidays
at Paso Robles Hot Springs, California.
A week or two, or even a few days
there, will accomplish more In the way
of restored energy than a much longer
period and more expensive treatment
elsewhere, because good old Mother
Nature is nurse and physician.
Paso Robles Is taking the same rank
In America and enjoying the same fame
for wonderful cures that Carlsbad and
Baden Baden do In Europe. The hotel
is a marvel of comfort and luxury, and
the bathhouse built by the city, free to

R. B. Harlow charged with embezzle
ment of JxfiO belonging to his employers
"I can truthfully say
that I believe that, but for
the use of your Emulsion
I would long since have
been in my grave. 1 was
past work could not walk
up-hill without coughing
very hard.".
THIS, and much more was
written by Mr. G. V. Hower
ton, Clark's Gap, W. Va. We
would like to send you a full
copy of his letter, of you
might write him direct. His
case was really marvelous,
but is only one of the many
proofs that
Scott's
Emulsion
is the most strengthening
and re-vitalizing preparation
in the world. Even in that
most stubborn of all diseases
(consumption) it does won
ders, and in less serious
troubles, such as anemia,
bronchitis, asthma, catarrh,
or loss of flesh from any
cause the effect is much
quicker.
Do not 4sUr. Get a battle of SCOTT'S
EMULS10N-.be rare it's SOOTT'S u
