All dairymen must first obtain city license from the Auditor to sell milk in the city, and no license to be issued unless City Board of Health certifies herd Is free from disease. System of license fees will compel payment of average of K cents for each dairy cow. to cover cost of In spection and Incidentals. Mayor Simon ha approved tha tenta tive draft of a proposed ordinance, drawn tip by the committee appointed by htm Thursday afternoon, to make possible the remedying of conditions relative to the milk, supply in Portland. A system of licenses and Inspection will be created. If this prases the City Council, and the most important provision Is that no dairy man will be allowed to sell his product In the city witliout first having obtained from the Auditor certification that his herd te free from tuberculosis or other disease. "I believe." saki Mayor Simon, when Informed of the provision of the pro posed ordinance, that the committee has hit upon the solution of the problem be fore us. I am heartily favorable to any thing that will produce pure milk for this city, and hope that such an ordinance as they have drawn up will pass the Council at an early date. The additional In spectors will not create a financial bur den, but the lloense. fee system will more than pay their salarlea, and I believe the committee hae found the real means of compelling dairymen to provld none, but pure milk. We can enforce, such an or dinance as that, and I am In strong sym pathy with If Committee Dlscnsse Problem. The committee, composed of Dr. S. W. McClure, of the Federal Bureau of Ani mal Industry; Ir. R. C. Tenney. State Health Officer; Dr. C. H. Wheeler. City Health Officer; Dr. Alan Welch Smith, of the City Board of Health: C 8. Jack son and lire. A. E. Rockey. met yesterr day afternoon tt the Mnyor's committee room In the City Hall and discussed for two hours the best means of bringing about radical changes In the milk; supply. It was finally decided that the only means of shutting out Impure milk Is to refuse to allow any milk: to be sold in Portland until the dairyman has secured a city license, guaranteeing that his herd has been tested for tuberculosis and other diseases, and that the cows are healthy. In order to enforce this provision, it was found that two additional Inspectors will be required for about three months of every year to Inspect the herds and to certify to the condition of the cows. The proposed system of license fees will more than cover the Item of expense for the salaries of these Inspectors, It was as serted at the committee meeting yester day, and what remains will he used to defray other expenses connected with the Inspection. The proposition Is to fix by this ordi nance a fee of from J-60 to $10 a year, according to the number of cows In a herd, the plan being to tax the lower rate of 12.60 for a dairyman having a herd of fewer than 10 cows; 15 a year for 30 cows: $10 a year for 30 cows; 33 1-3 cents for each cow over SO and up to SO and 25 cents a cow for each cow over 80. These are the rates suggested by C. S. Jackson, and agreed to by the other members of the committee as constituting the proper proportion of rates to be fair to the dairy men and to the city, and it was said that these rates will produce more than enough revenue to carry forward all of the Inspection work. To Make law That Will Stand Test. Assistant City Attorney Grant was present to help the committee in shaping ths proposed ordinance, and pointed out the dangers of attempting to be too se vere. He declared to the members, of the committee that It Is the much better plan to make certain of such provisions as will stand the test of the courts, as there Is sure to be a contest, if the law 1 passed and Is rigidly enforced. Mr. Grant will frame the proposed ordinance, which he will submit for final action by the committee at a future date, possibly some "time next week. It Is the plan to hasten with the work, so that the ordinance may be submitted to the City Council at Its next meeting, and tt la the hops of those having the subject in charge that It may be passed at that time and be carried with en emergency clause, be signed -at once by the Mayor and thus become a law. It Is said that immediate action la necessary. If the present bad conditions are to be remedied. Dr. McChire, of the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, assured the members of the committee that he will maintain hls Inspectors tn this territory tmtfl such time as the city tnerpectors can get In readiness to take charge, and that he will assist Che muntdpeJ authorities In erery possible way, both before sad after the enactment of the proposed ordinance.

PSYCHIC FORCE ADVANCED Dr. Morrison, Rector Trinity Church, Drclares Manifestation Essential ly Spiritualistic Boy Alleged Responsible Is Unconcerned. (Continued From First Page.) Fa7s"? -;r" a- as zficjoz- s ess "The tall end of an earthquake," ar gued some few. No Plausible Explanation Found. And everything done and said. It's a matter of taking your choice according to your own Ideas of things. For at this time no 'correct explanation can be given by any one. Many of those residing In the neigh borhood of the Sanders home confessed to headaches last night as the result of efforts to find a solution. Others of the neighbors have given up in despair and grow Irritable when the subject is re ferred to. The skeptic alone does not get a hear ing in the'matter and his views count for nothing. For the manifestations occurred In all the remarkable details ascribed to them. There was a host of reputable and re liable eyewitnesses who could not have been mistaken at the matinee of Jig dancing furniture and hlgh-divlng crock ery. Then the chaos of broken china and bric-a-brac in the house Itself lends Its mute support to the tale. Static electricity was the term UBed yesterday forenoon in an effort to re duce the occurrence to material propor tions. But that Idea, while maybe not Impossible, has some stubborn facts to meet. The trend of this belief is that nncatalogued atmospheric disturbances were at the bottom of the affair, but the Idea that there was a chance concentra tion of statlo currents at the Sanders home Is really In the same category with the theory of "spooks." Compass Is Not Affected. This blasts that Idea: While the furni ture was In the midst of Its outlandish frolic T. E. Lyon, a clerk In the Allen drugstore, at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Marshall streets, suggested that a compass be taken into the house to see If it would be affected. The com pass, a fine Instrument with a sensitive needle, was given over to Scott Perry, who la a member of the household. He took It Into the Banders house. The needle remained normal, whereas, had it been In the midst of an electrical dis turbance. It necessarily would have dis played sympathy with the commotion. That 11-year-old Ernest Harps, grand son of Mrs. Sanders, was really one of the underlying .causes, though Innocently enough, la the theory accepted by several of those who saw the phenomena. It Is learned from an authoritative source that the parents of the boy are inclined to believe him possessed of some peculiar ly wonderful, if unfortunate, subjective Influence. A. W. Allen, proprietor of the Allen drug store, is an exponent of the same belief. He does not believe there was some unnatural concentration of static electricity, but he thinks the boy held some strange attraction for mysterious currents, which were thereby attracted to the house. He brands as utterly un true and without foundation utter ances attributed to him to the effect that he felt magnetism In the air on hurrying over to the Sanders home durlna; the occurrences. J. Hurley and T. E. Lyon, who were in the house dur ing the final momenta of the episode, likewise disclaim having felt electricity. "I re stood under a machine dissemi nating statlo eleotricity," said Mr. Hur ley. "It caused my hair to rise and my scalp to tingle. I felt nothing of the sort at the Sanders place. I have given up trying to figure the affair out. It happened, but the why is too much for me. I've got a headache from thinking about it. Some people think one thing, and some another, but none knows." i More unusual than all the other oc currences was the toppling over of part of the big stack of slabwood across the street from the Sanders house. This stack collapsed when the Harps boy appeared on the porch dur ing the midst of the commotion In his home. Doubtless in an effort to shield the boy from unfortunate notoriety, his parents denied that he was on the porch at the time. But the lad's uncle, Scott Perry, af firmed that Ernest told him of seeing the woodpile collapse as he appeared on the porch. It Is entirely possible the falling In of the wood was a mere coincidence, at least that would seem the sanest view. But, added to the freakish oddity of the occurrence. Is the fact that only a small section of the pile, and that directly in a line from the Sanders front door, fell in. On both sidesv of that hiatus, the wood stands in a stable heap. As to a suggestion that the occur rence had Its origin in seismic disturb ances, few adhere to that belief, for the reason that the havoc was all con fined to things in the house, whereas had the earth moved under the house, the "concrete and frame foundation would have been affected. Psychic Phenomena Dr. Morrison. Supernatural causes.- or at least a manifestation of psychic phenomena, underlies the whole affair in the belief of Rev. A. A. Morrison, D. D.. rector of Trinity Church. Dr. Morrison, after visiting the Sanders home and talking briefly with the father of little Ernest Harps, gave It as his belief that the boy was strangely gifted. The fa ther told him little or nothing, but from such of the facts as he was able to gather. Dr. Morrison said he was certain natural causes had nothing to do with the affair. "The electricity theory Is the most absurd of all.", said he. "Electricity does not cause any such manifestations. It Is a matter of psychic phenomena, in my opinion, a manifestation of an unusual Intelligence. Through the sub conscious mind the phenomena, that were witnessed yesterday were occa sioned. Or it may have been that and more: it may be the boy is an unusual medium ' for the expression of thkngs from the spirit world. The occurrence was essentially spiritualistic and had nothing to do with the material. "Such things have occurred before though possibly not In the same man ner. But persons of extraordinary psy chic powers have puzsled the scientific world until skepticism has long since disappeared among the best informed. With my limited knowledge of the boy, I could say little as to the nature of the phenomena expressed through him, but as to the main causes of the shak ing up of things at the house I feel there can be no doubt." Charles Cadlng, 210 Sixteenth street, reiterates his statement that the home previously occupied by the boy and his parents was badly damaged by falling plaster. On account of the condition of the house, the Harps were requested by R. Deutsch, owner of the struc ture, to vacate and a month's rent was returned to the family. It Is al leged by the Harps that the plaster ing fell away through a leak In the roof and that no such disturbance as occurred on Thursday has even been experienced by them before. The Harps are very much upset over the whole occurrence and have locked themselves up from all visitors, Scores of people sought to gain admittance to the house during the day, until the head of the household finally took up the prac tice of slamming his door In people's faces. The most unconcerned person of all Is the little boy, who Is held by many to be In some inexplicable way connected with the affair. He is large for his age and of rather unusual appearance, very pale, seemingly of a brooding disposition, has large Jet-black eyes and a mass of tousley hair that is allowed to hang down over his forehead. "Were you afraid when you saw the furniture dancing and the dishes fall ing?" he was asked. "No, I wasn't afraid at all," he re sponded in a stout voice. The parents were not Inclined to dis cuss him further than that Mrs. Harps said people had often said he was "mag netic." They have lived in Portland four years, coming here from Wisconsin. K. Sutherland, their landlord, who be came overwhelmed with fear and ordered the house vacated when he saw the tur moil of Thursday, had recovered his cour age yesterday to the extent that he re voked the removal mandate, and bade the Sanders remain as long as they wished In the house.

For the plea and Jack o'lanterns demanded for Hallowe'en, the big yellow fruit stands ready at 2'and 3 cents a pound;1 in as sorted sizes," too, from pumpkins about as big as good-etzed apples up to monsters that make Cinderella's coach quite a cred itable affair. Grapes, especially Concords, are prob ably about as low In price tnls week as they can be this season. They range from 15 to 30 cents a basket and are of excel lent quality. Fine Tokays and Muscats cost 20 to 35 cents a basket, while a few extra choice kinds run as high as. 50 cents. Apples are increasingly plentiful and attractive and are as absolutely es sential as pumpkins for proper Hallowe'en celebrations. By the dozen they cost 15 to 40 cents, and by the box. $1.25 to $3.6". There are good pears also to be had at 10 to 30 cents and a few late but sound peaches at 40 cents a dozen. Quinces at 6 cents a pound, prunes at 25 cents a basket, pomegranates, pineapples, or anges, bananas and grape fruit are va riously attractive. Persimmons at 20 cents a dozen are useful as fruit salad cups for a- Hallowe'en or Thanksgiving luncheon where the pumpkin color scheme Is favored. Strawberries aod raspberries at 25 cents a box are now available, as well as huck leberries at 15 cents and cranberries at 20 cents a quart. There is a good supply of all kinds of nuts at 15 to 25 cents a pound. Substan tial nut dishes may well be added to the bill of fare Just now. chestnuts being es pecially worthy of consideration. Mushrooms at 20 to 25 cents a pound make possible many epicure's dishes for even a strictly economical table. Celerlao Is particularly good this week. If you buy any, remember to dry the leaves for use In soups and sauces. Heart celery at 25 cents a bunch Is very attractive. No novelties were to be seen in the veg etable display this week, but the list includes green corn, green, wax and Lima beans, green peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, rod and green.' peppers, both hot and sweet, cream, Hubbard and Summer squash, spinach, curly kale. Savoy, white and red cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, artichokes, chicory, okra, let tuce, parsnips, beets, onions, carrots, tur nips, sweet and white potatoes.
