An analysis of the stomach will likely be made in the la boratory of the State Board of Health to determine the cause of death. Quiflander. a widower with four chll dren. brought his family from Finland last Fall and married a widow with three children, near Clatskanie. One of Qulf- lanier's children died last December without medical attention and in Jan uary another of his children died with out medical attention. When the last one recently became ill neighbors In sisted that a doctor be summoned, and Dr. Wood In. of Clatskanie, was called. He found the child almost dead, suffer lug with symptoms of ptomaine poison ing. The child died a few hours later. On account of the peculiar circum stances surrounding the series of deaths. Dr. Woodin called Frank Sherwood, Cor oner of Columbia County, at Rainier, and tne Coroner decided to hold a post mortem and the result will determine the necessity for holding an Inquest. Dr. White was asked to attend the autopsy with Dr. Woodin, ao that .if the cause of death Is not determined the stomach may be brought to Portland for analysis.

A delegation of women representing the Consumers" League will visit the legislature today In another effort to Induce the law-making body to pass their bill placing dnlry and food Inspec tion under supervision of the State Board of Health. The women have a plan which they will not divulge, that they hope will be successful in piloting the bill through, but the campaign will be aa vigorously carried on in the mean time of soliciting Indorsements and influ ences to aid them should today's effort (ail. From early In the morning until lato last night members of the league were busy campaigning. Several conferences were held In the course of the day. at which reports wera received from work ers throughout the city and late In the afternoon a summing up of what had been done led to a decision to visit tho legislature again and renew their efforts before using all their ammunition. The line of work yesterday was In the nature of a "still hunt" and not ono woman could be found who would tell what was going on. An air of mystery surrounded the dny's campaign and in dicated that a deep game of politics was being played. The sudden Impetus given the move ment to drive the bill through the Leg islature, brought nbout by the asser tions of J. W. Bnlley, State Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner, that he was the author of all the pure food laws in Oregon, also had the effect of develop ing the fact that members of the Con sumers League have a knowledge oi politics with which they were not credited. Some of the members sat at telephone moat of the day, while oth- era were whisked mysteriously about the city In automobiles. Not an Inkling of bat was done was given out.

It waa awld at Featlval headquarters that In addition to getting out one of he finest Illustrated bookleta ever pro ducrd by the advertlatng department o he Harrlman lines, this system already- had contributed 11000 In cash to the Festival fund. This money waa turned over some weeks ago. and supplemental another fund which these lines have appropriated for an extensive campaign of billboard and poster advertising. Wa have great hope that Mr. Mc Murray will be able to awing things In our favor, so far as tha low excursion rates are concerned." said President Hoyt yesterday. "The Harrlman and Hill, lines have given f 1000 each to the general fund, and now all that remains (or tha railroads to do to make the next celebration a. tremendous success Is to grant ua tha same low rates that the big (aira and conventions have re reived, and I (eel confident that when the March meeting of the Transconti nental Passenger Association la held the Festival will be included In the low (are announcements. "Never In th hlatory of Northwest rn railroad .advertising has any event or its character received the universal attention by the railroads that th Rose Featlval has." explained Mr. Scott- "It is going to receive more genuine and widespread advertialng of a high class than anything In this country outside of the Lewis and Clark and the Seattle fairs have received. Our people feel sure that the Transcontinental Passen ger Association will grant tha same ratea to th Rose Festival that It ac cords to any other big gathering of Na tlonal Importance."

John Manning. Bailey's attorney, has filed a demurrer to the Indictment, set ting up the technical defense thnt the Indictment does not mean necessarily that the crime waa committed In the Etata of Oregon. The demurrer has been carefully considered by Judge Gantenbeln, who said yesterday that he had fully arrived at a conclusion and would announce the result at the opening- of court tomorrow morning.

In asking the (Ire committee of the City Executive Board to give his con cern another opportunity to place hose (or the (Ice department here,, the rep resentative of the Bowera Rubber Com pany, of San Francisco, yesterday told the members that malicious, disgruntled workmen In the factory were to blame (or the rotted goods previously sold by that establishment here. He pleaded (or another opportunity that his employers might be able to prove to Portland that they are" now making a good article. rio action was taken upon thia bid or any of the others submitted, as S. C. Pier, a member of the committee, waa absent. It is likely the committee will make unusual examination and Investi gation before the 'awards are made P-H recent purchases of hose have. been criticised by the National Board of Fire Underwriters of New York, In their re port (or the past year. However, the members of the committee believe they have bought good hose and do not (eel that the reference ' to their actions is Justified by the (acts. There has been no trouble over any of It. After the representative of the Bow ers company had made his plea (or an opportunity to shoy hat his firm Is making good hose now, and having as sured the members of the committee that tha poor hose will be made good, Samuel Connell, one of the members, asked him pointedly if it waa malicious workmen in the factory who permitted Inferior goods to go out. The represent ative replied that it was; that a former employe, subordinated to make way for a more competent foreman, wrought the mischief. Portland and Los Angeles de partments purchased some of the hose and It soon went to pieces. Tha committee declined to recommend that stokers to the number of 16 be granted pay at the rate of J90 a month from the date of their first six months' service; they must accept $80, the usual scale. Four automobiles will be purchased. two tor tne use of battalion chiefs, one for the electrical department and one tor the repair department, those for the latter two to be small trucks and the machines for the chiefs to be runabouts. It Is believed that this will greatly Im prove the service and that it will prove to be a measure of economy. The committee Is anxious to build an engine house in Kenton, but as tha Council has appropriated but $1500, but little can be done. -No action will be taken until it can be determined whether more money can be had for the pur pose. Bids will be sought (or the engine house on Montgomery and Fourteenth streets, which will be built 'during the year. NEW RULES COSTLY Judge Gantenbeln Will Oppose Suggested Change. TOO MANY JURORS NEEDED Requirement That Citizens Shall Serve for Longer Periods Adds to Difficulties Confer ence to Be Held. U U a7 H gat aw al ta il t. ' i is the most Notre Dame. In submitting to an interview yester day (or the first time, concerning the prqposd change In the court rules. Pre siding Judge Gantenbeln declared that the new rules, as suggested, would mean an Increase in expenses to Miiltnomah County o( between 16,000 and 20,00o a year. The new rules were euggested by Judge Gatens with the idea that they would tend to lessen the necessity of em. ploying more Judges. Judge Ganten beln will call a conference of all the Judges of the court as soon as poeadbla (or the purpose of revising the proposed rules in a more satisfactory manner. It was pointed out that the proposed rules would make It necessary for the county to provide about twice the num ber o( Jurors now needed, this would make an additional cost as well as in crease the dlnculty in obtaining men who would serve on the Jury, as they would be required to serve (or longer periods. The present system Judge uantentx.m said, required that Jurors not needed In one department should be available for another department. Under the proposed system, it would be neceseary for each department to have a separate Jury list- Thus when one case 19 finished and it Is necessary to begin a new case, a new set of Jurors must be taken from those assigned to that department Instead of filling up the supply from the . overflow from another department. Two sets of Jurors are thus necessary for each de partment. In addition to the extra men who must always be on hand to make good for those excused, and who also must be paid. It Is the opinion of Judge Gantenbeln that when the Judges get together they will be able to evolve a new set of rules that will be much better than those al ready proposed. The proposed rules were prepared by Judge Gatens and ara much the same as those now in use in Owing to some Jury trials that will not MMVh NhJS UUIUK XZU.UUU Ka .An,nUl.
