Counrllman Lrlcoll said ha Intended to rota la tha Council for tha use of Broadway by tha corporation. H a!4 tha property oarr.ers would better look orer the terms of tha franchise, to sea that It contained tha proper restrictions as to tha dps of tha street and trarT'o arrangements, aa ha said the new Una waa coming Into Tort land down soma street. Councilman Menefee said there bad bean considerable complaint about poor aerrlco of tba present atreelcar company on Broadway. An amendment to tha frsnrhlns. Inserting a common-user rlau. ba aald. would confine tha train to two cars each and. give a 10-mlnute service. Mr. Menefee said tha Mount Flood Una most go three miles out of Its way to go down Hawthorne avenue. He said tha subject of a common-user clause In the preaent Broadway franchise would be taken np with President Josselyn, of the streetcar company, today, and that If Mr. Josselyn did not consent to a common-user clause, steps would be taken to enforce It. Right to Kntrr Prfrndrd. Property upoa whl.-h Jl.OOO.Oio hag been spent la of sufficient Importance to be allowed to come Into the city," he said. "I feel It Is necejsary to allow thla romceuiy to bring thla line In.- even if it la at a eejcrtAce. Tbe company dees not want to furnish local evrT'ce, but I thick it should be forced to give local service. The Montavllla people aay they are suffering from lark of car service. They want a direct route Into the city. In case the curbing Is to be set back to widen the street, the company should pay for It and for the repavlng of the street. The franchise call for the use of Iron poles for the power wires, but d' not provide for placing tha power wires un derground. F p.

Light Tower Company, last night In reply to atate ments that he and his associates have been active la the effort to block the new suburban line. -It Is our policy alwaya to assist In lernrban lines and we have given the Mount Hood road every encourage ment, although we do not want It to operate over streets already used by e-ir own lines to such an extent that traffic Is becoming congested. "For that reason we object to their use ef Stark street, aa it Is our Inten tion to operate the cars that cross tha Fteel bridge and the Bumslde bridge over that line to keep them from crossing Morrison and Waahlngton streets, which already have all the traffic that they will bear. Two Koutr Offered. -We are willing to allow them to coma In over either the Cazadero line from C.resham or over the Hawthorne line from Mount Tabor. Hither of hose roites would bring them orer the H-wthorne bridge. "Our objection to their operating over streets that we occupy In Irvlng ton.ls based on the fact that our lines th-re are narrow gauge and we do not want them to put In standard gauge trucks. Any other route that would lead over the new Broadway bridge would meet with our approval. "On the West fide we have sug gested that they operate on Seventh street to Flanders, completing their loop on Second street to Salmon and Tenth, using the Oregon Electrlo tracks. "There Is no reaaon why we ehould oppose the Mount Hood line, as It will be a great alJ to us. All lnterurban roads feed Into our system and we are eager to assist them In entering the city, providing tbey do not affect our service. "The Mount Hood Una cannot be a competitor to us. and wa have never considered It as such. Therefore, why should we try to keep It outr" Mayor Favors Kroadway. Mayor Plmon believes that the Broadway suggestion la the most fea sible solution of the problem, and said yesterday that he would favor thts In preference to the tearing up of any other street Jrvlngton for the use of the Mount i'-od road. "I am hearuiy la favor of the en trance of the Mount Hood road Into Portland." said the Mayor, "and am ready to facilitate the matter In every manner. I think tha best route for the raw road Is over Broadway and believe that It can be worked out. I do net know whether the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company objects to the use of Its Broadway trarka by another rompany for a reasonable compensa tion, but If It does. I think the right could be secured anyway by condem nation proceedings. It seems to me this method would ba far better than to choose another atreet In Irvlngton and to tear 4t qp and discommode tha resldenta thereon. I never favor dis turbing people In their bomrs where It ran be avoided. "I am glad the Mount Hood Company Is to enter Portland, for It is such en terprises that we need here. I want to see the company get a direct routs Into the heart of the city, and I would also like to see it enter Into active competition with the Portland Railway. Light Power Company all over the city. Added Lines Beneficial. "It would be an excellent thing for the people to have Increased streetcar facilities and many suburbs could be built up better In this manner. I would not like to see the new line con fined to sny one section of the city. a- i: e FOKWF.H S.TRFKT RAII.WAT OF. Fit I A I. 1JIKS AFTKR A I.O ILLNESS. ! "v . . t -r v ; ,; j Jeresae W.

The funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at J o'clock from the family residence. Burial will be at Klv ervlew Cemetery. The Mayor made a special trip to Irvlngton yesterday afternoon to In spect the district particularly aa to the railroad problem, and became more than ever convinced that Broadway Is the proper street for the Mount Hood line. He regards all of the others as being too narrow, and Is strongly op posed to cutting up pavements and lay. Ing tracks over any of tbem If It can In any way be avoided. City Attorney Grant yesterday ad dressed a communication to City Audi tor Uarbur. In which he said that ha arpproved of the ordinance for the Mount Hood Railway tt Power Com pany aa drafted, except that It did not provide for any compensation for the use of the Broadway bridge. The City Council committee on atrceta Is con sidering the franchise. Mr. Grant called attention to the fact that the act creating the bridge made It the duty of the Council to fix the rate to ba charged. Hancock Protrata to Re Heard. Tbe street committee of the Council will give consideration to tba protests of Hancock-street residents and those objecting to the use of that thoroughfare at 1 o'clock this afternoon at tbe City Hall. People from all of the other s '-reels under consideration have been heard previously. Weldler. Halsey and Brasee have been eliminated, and Knott Is still favored by soma of the members of the committee. Councilman Kubll Is mors Interested In securing a clause In the franchise mak ing It obligatory upon the company to operate cjlts at frequent Intervals to the city limits, no matter where the line may enter. He is urging this strongly In be half of the realdenla of Montavllla and Center Addition, who. he declares, have Inadequate streetcar service. Tbe proposal to permit the Mount Hood line to run over the tracks of the Port land Railway, Light A Power Company on Broadway baa Impressed nearly all of tho members of the street committee favorably, as they feel that this Is the beet means of solving the difficult prob lem. Some believe, however, that It would be better to have two separate lines, and have new territory tapped by the Mount Hood road, as they think it would be of great advantage to the peo ple of the section through .which it would penetrate. South East Side Talks Bonus. The Brooklyn Improvement Club, In session last night, voted to ue lis best endeavors to secure the Mornt Hood Railroad through the South fast Side and over the proposed Woodwsrd-ave-nue-Meade-atreet bridge across the Wil lamette River, and it was deculrd to un dertake to raise a bonus of fXOOi). A. L. Barbur declared that ths p'an was feasi ble. He said that the company could run Its tracks on Knst Thirty-ninth s'.ieet. which extends from Koso CUy Park to tbe site of the Reed Insti tute, to Woodward avenue or the Powell road and then turn west over tr.e bridge. Rev. Father Gregory, James Ruddlman and others favored the project. Mr. Barbur. Father Gregory and Mr. Hi. antrum were appointed to call in of ficiate of the company. It waa an nounced that South Mount Tabor would raise a bonus of Sla.COO to outain the road for that district and Dr. Hamilton Meade waa added to the committee. Young; Man Would Kill Self.

Williams recently separated from his wife and was despondent. ELKS COMMITTEES SECURE BIG SUMS Partial Reports Indicate Total Is About $80,000, but Much More Is Needed. WORK BEING DONE QUIETLY Effort to Got Grand Lodge Conven tion In 191 S Grows In IVrvor Kvory Day Returns to ' Oregon Incalculable. Though only $1787.60 was reported to Treasurer Van Schuyver. of the Elk's 11S Convention Committee, as the re sult of yesterday's ran vara for the H25.000 fund to entertain the Grand Lodge In ll- only three committees. In addition to the seven which reported on Wednesday, have filed their collec tions with the treasurer, and none of these have made a complete canvass. All told there are fI committees at work soliciting funds for the bringing; of the 191! convention to Portland, but It seems thst most of the commit tees prefer to make a complete report before making their subscriptions pub lic, and are holding bsck until they have made a complete canvass of the business and mercantile establishments. The treasurer now has a list of sub scriptions amounting to $15,638.60. turned In, by representatives of but eight committees, and. on thla basis. Mr. Van Schuyver and Secretary Reed figure that approximately 130.000 has been subscribed. The figuring Is based on the supposition thst the committees not yet beard from have performed as well as those which have already re ported. Wonders Will Ite Noted. On all sides general comment Is heard of the vast benefits to be derived from the coming of at least 100.000 Elks, who will visit Portland and the North west during the Grand Ixdgs reunion. If held In Portland, and all lines of In dustry will profit for the reason that a large percentage of Elks, or their friends, will remove to the country which offers such glorious advantages ss will be observed by the throng of visitors. The opening of the Oregon country now In progress will be noted and the country In general Is bound to benefit by thla big convention. That the Elka' Grand Lodge will bring more people to Portland for one week In July, 1912, than will any other event. Is generally admitted, and It Is safe to presume that many of the visitors will either remain or return in ths immediate future. Outside Aid Not Asked. . At the regular meeting of the Port land lodge held last night partial re ports of the canvass were made In the general discussion of the lodge, and on all sides the greatest of enthusiasm waa displayed. The proposition to ask the Legislature to make an appropria tion toward this fund was frowned down by the members, who are anxious to make this distinctly a Portland af fair, and the Elks believe that the business men of the city will do their part and follow the example set by the lodge Itself when it voted $25,000 out of Its own treasury toward this sum. The following letter from the La Grande. Or, lJdfre demonstrates the In terest being taken In the Portland Elk's campaign by other lodges In the state: Portland Lodse. No. 142. B. P. O.

"Nothlna Is more pitiable than a woman, endowed with maternal In stincts by the Almighty, who uncon sciously recognizes that Instinct by becoming a pup nurse." i This. In sub stance, was the statement made by Bishop Edwin H. Hughes in his ad dress yesterday morning- before the Methodist Sunday School Institute in Taylor-street Methodist Church. He was speaking; on "Tbe Parent aa a Teacher." He led up to his statement by saying- Uiat he waa Impressed by the large number of hotels In San Francisco, and inquired of a number of business men at different times why so many hos telrles were being- erected. The an swer was, he said, that people are breaking up housekeeping- and taking their families to live In apartments. Thus, he said, the Janitor has been deputized to do the work which the father and fmother formerly did for the boy arid girl In the home. He re marked, that he Is the father of eight children, and that he was not at, all ashamed of the fact, even when he was in the company of "select" people who have no children. Years ago. said the Bishop, the parent- waa everything to the child. The mother jnade all the child's clothes and was the child's Instructor. Today the clothes are made by machinery, and the public and Sunday school teachers have taken the place of the parents in Instructing the children. The rea son for the opposition to the Sunday school system of Robert Ralkes, the organizer of the Sunday school, said Bishop Hufrhes, was that this would give parents an opportunity -to become indolent so far as Instruction of their children was concerned. He said the parent ought to remain the child's In structor, leaving the teachers to sup plement the work. Many parents, he said, do not even know the teachers of their children. He paid a glowing tribute to both public and Sunday school teachers. Bishop Hughes spoke again last night, before leaving for San Francis co, taking for his subject, "Tho Prob lem of the Man." Mrs. Antoinette Lamereaux spoke yesterday morning on "The Rights of Childhood." The child has a right to be Instructed before he Is 25 years old. when habits are formed, she said. Rev. Edgar Blake, D. D., assistant secretary of the Methodist Board of Sunday Schools, spoke yesterday after noon on "The Boy Problem." saying this can be solved by taking an active WHY NOT MUSIC, GOOD MUSIC, AT HOME NOW?

We decided some time ago to discontinue selling the Pianola Piano. The development of the Autopiano, containing vital and exclusive improvement, made this. necessary. We sell these new instruments upon our famous little profit on each piano principle. The 'days of arbitrary high prices are gone, as they are gone, too, on regular pianos and grands. Numerous of our dealers throughout the West, upon seeing these later improved Player Pianos, immediately arranged for the agency. Many of these dealers do not have the showroom to display many differ ent makes at one time. Several of our own stores are situated likewise. In order to enable them to commence the sale of the Autopiano and kin dred instruments at once, we agreed to take off their hands whatever Pianola Pianos tbey carried. These Pianola Pianos have been shipped to Portland. Most 6f them are the very latest designs, absolutely new instruments, with "88 "-note actions and combination "65 and 88-note actions. There are also some second-hand instruments . that have been taken in part payment for Decker and Lester Player Pianos or the Eilers De Luxe Player Pianos, and the higher-priced styles of the Autopiano.
