DOUBLE
ATTACK
L
Foes Would Invoke Referen
dum on Malarkey's Public-
Service Commission.
CHARTER IN FIGHT, TOO
Opponents Aim to Have People Vote
at Next Election to Obtain to
ral Body Instead of State- '
W ide .Board.
Efforts to obtain the referendum as
applied to th public utilities bill
adopted ncfnllr by the State Legisla
ture and the adoption at tba coming
rity election of an, amendment to th
Portland charter to provide for tha crea
tion of a lo-al commliiloa are eald to be
contemplated by eneinlea of the new
law.
The question being asked by many
concerns the position of the City of
Portland In case the amendment to the
charter Is adopted at the coming city
erection. Lawyers aare that the state
law would prevail In the end and -that
no amendment to the city charter eouij
nullify the mandatory edicts of the state
law. But It was declared by the friends
of Dan Keliaaer. who fousht the bill in
the Legislature, that he was going ahead
with his proposed plan to submit an
amendment to the city charter.
Step Termed Illegal.
"It will be absolutely i:iecal." said Sen
ator Malarkey. "The state law will be
the law for Portland. It roatteas not
what the vote may be. should It be
submitted and I do not think that op
ponents of the state law would be fool
leh enough to submit such an Irregu
lar proceeding."
C. W. Fulton said that he had not
read the law. knew nothing about It and
would not like to express an opinion as
to the merits of tne measure, until he
had examined it.
The Malarkey bill provides for tha
Ftate Railway Commission to hare cun
. trol of the street railways and interur
ir(f Jlnes of cities in the state. It pro
vides for almost absolute Jurisdiction,
and la the power which will Interpret
franchises granted to . transportation
corporations that operate within the city
limit.
Home Rale Foes' Basis.
The oppcaltiou to the measure bases Its
contention on the theory of home rule.
It was argued that the people of Port
land should have the final ssy as to
who should control their streetcar lines.
"Wlaconein has for several years suc
cessfully and satisfactorily regulated and
controlled all public service corporations
of every kind In the state by and through
a, state commission of three members,
one of whom recently was appointed to
fill a vacancy upon the United 8tates
Interstate Commerce Commission." said
Senator Malarkey. "Tha City of Mil
waukee In the State of WWsconaln Is
much larger than our Portland and Wis.
conatn has many cities and towns out
side of Milwaukee that are larger tbsa
anythirg we have- In Oregon outside of
Portland.
Larger States Cse IMan.
"In like manner all public service cor
porations in the state are managed satis
factorily and controlled by one state
C'nmUslon generally composed of three
member In Georgia. Maryland. New
Jersey. Oklahoma. Nebraska. North Car
olina. Virginia. Vermont and Nevada. All
these states, but the last two. are larger
than Oregon. There la no more reason
for Portland to be exempted from tha
Jurisdiction of a stats commission In
Or wo a than there waa or la for the
leading cities la these other statea to
be exempted. The situation In New
Tork. which Is sometimes quoted as a
precedent tor the Portland Commission,
has been misrepresented by some and
misquoted by others. The New Tork
Legislature divided the stste Into two
distrlots and provided separata commis
sions for each district. One district
embraces New York City and the other
district embraces the remainder of the
state, bnt both commissions have the
power and the preattsa of the entire
stste behind them and are co-ordinate
and co-operate in their workings.
Logic la Attacked.
-There was no special reason for tha
creation of a separate commission for
Greater New York. The commission
took over the work of building subways
from the Rapid Transit Commission and
Incidentally there was given to a Repub
lican administration a patronage eon
nected with the expenditure ofemilltons
of dollars formerly enjoyed by Tam
many llalL Regardless of that reason.
It Is presumptuous to say that because
the City of New Tork with Its .000,9v
people has a separate commission, tha
City of Portland needs one."

FENDER IS FOUGHT
Railway Has Not Ordered Ap

Official of Company, Safegnard of
WTiich Is Aocepted, Blame Power

Four Month Needed.
Responsibility for dslsy in equipping
the air-controlled ears In use on Iba
streets of tha city with the Nelson style
of renders, as adopted by the City Coun
cil last October. Is plsced upon the Port
land Railway, Light dt Power Company
by F. A. Nelson, vice-president of the
American Automatic Fender Company,
which manufactures tha Nelson fender.
Although th Council' order wa to'
place th new fender on all cars having
airbrakes on or before July 1. noth
ing definite hss been done by either
company toward equipping any of the
cars. But four months now remain, and
Mr. Nelson fears the time I growing too
short to comply with th ordinance. In
spite of the fact that It requires nearly
four month to manufacture the fender,
th strset railway company haa not
placed a single order, said Mr. Nelson
yesterday.
. Belay Cp to Company.
"Th official of th Portland Railway.
Light at Power Company are alone re
sponsible for the delay," he continued.
The air-fender ordinance was passed
by h City Council October 12. was
signed by th Msyor October 24 and
went Into effect November 24.
"The only reason so far advanced for
thla refusal Is a ststement to the effect
that the fender company refused to make
good on the price quoted prorlou to the
paseag of the ordinance.
"We quoted a special price of W.B
each for the Portland fenders after as
certaining from the company Itself the
number of air fender that would be re
quired to equip the system. The price
was made on the basis of at least TM
fenders. The ord'nsnce requires all air
cars to ba equipped with th air-controlled
fender.

each, th street railway company then
appealed to tne t.ny council. uu
Council, after full Investigation. Indorsed
our position.
Other instances of lack of good faith
can be cited, la th first place, our
company was assured by officials of th
street railway company a year ago that
it would proceed immediately with th
equipment on Its system of whatever
fender was legalised by the City Council.
Subsequently these officials urged the
Council thsf th fender case be settled
without further deley. as th company
desired to have a legal fender on lu
cars.
-Furthermore, these aame street rail
way officials declared ' to tha City
Council that whll they believed th
congested a tracts of Portland would
mak a projecting fonder Impracticable,
they were willing to concede that this
particular air-controlled fender waa es
pecially suited to interurban cars, and
tbat It would b a ucces In InUror
ban service. At present they bar be
fore the Council an ordinance exempting
Interurban ear, from th provUlon of
th air-fender ordinance, and we have
been requested by official of th Port
land Railway, Light sTs Poarer Company
not to eppos tha passage of that ordi
nance. Fender "Joker Found.
-Later their attorney submitted to the
City Council an ordinance containing a
Joker which would bar eliminated Uia
air-controlled fender from about half
of the air earg In th city.
"frn mora recently their attorney
agreed with our attorney to frame an
ordinance. That agreement waa violated
and a econd ordinance waa prepared by
the tret railway people which now la
pending before tha City Council. Tha
company also has submitted to the City
Council an ordinance Intended to elimi
nate th airbrake from ear used at
the time of the Rnee Festival and base
ball rush. Now any person of ordinary
I common sense knows that It Is for Just
such car aa these, and on Just such oc
casions, that aafety appliances, such as
airbrake and safety fenders, are needed,
if ever.
"Our fender Is far from being an ex
periment. It Is simply a combination of
the airbrake cylinder and the standard
projecting fendsr, both of which hav
been recognised for 20 year aa safety
device, of the highest type. The fendoi
Is new. but the working principle Is old.
and the device Itself has been Indorsed
and approved by the best mechanics
snd aafety appliance experts In tha
United Slates. In addition to that. It
haa been teated thoroughly In more than
10 days' actual passenger service on the
streets of Portland, and hss been espe
cially designed and constructed for this
city.
"At present six other cities are wait
ing for demonstration of thl air fend
er, but In accordance with a promise
given to the Mayor and City Council
we propoee to remain In Portland until
thla subject 1 settled."
PLAGUE FUND YET SHALL
SENATOR SELLING TRIES TO GET
FUNDS FOR CHINESE.
One Mm Responds to Chamber of
Commerce Call by Giving $10.
Donation Are Crged.
Out of all of the letter sent out by
th Portland Chamber of Commerce to
th various persons engaged In the ex
porting business and those likely to
give something out of their surplus
funds for plague and famine-stricken
China, on man responded by giving
$10. He not only gave the $10 but
carried It himself to th sseretary of
the Chamber, with th remark that he
"was not in business, but felt so sorry
for the starving In China, that I feel
compelled to band In my donation.
Tbat waa several days ago. So far
nothing more has been contributed to
the Chamber of Commerce. Senator
Selling, bearing of tha lethargy In th
matter of donations, started out Just
as soon as h returned from the state
Senate to put some energy In the cam
paign. Testerday, he called upon several
persons who might b willing to do
nate. He started the ball rolling by
giving 1100 himself. The next donation
waa given by the Corbett eatate. which
also was for 1100. E. A. tvyld gave
IIS, making a total of 226 which, add
ed to th $10 already received, makes
a grand total of $23i. It la proposed
to secure today com sort of an or
ganisation which will produce a suffi
cient sum from Portland.
"It la a sham that Portland doe
not give more." said Mr. Selling, "but
I feel sure citizens of Portland will
not be backward If they are properly
approached. The people who are dying
in China are human being and they
are entitled to our sympathy Just as
roach a any person might be in this
country. W hav always been re
garded as liberal In Portland. I be
lieve that w have responded every
time when called upon whr distress
was apparent. x
"In China there Is a condition which
haa no parallel in the world. I believe
tbat It 1 our duty to subscribe for
the relief of these people. I know that
is th way I fseU and I am willing
to back It up with my money. That's
th reason that I hop Portland will
com to th rescue to make the propar
howlng. We ought to raise I CO 00.
-The boat at .cieattle will sail in a
few days and if w rajs this money
we can put the flour and the necessi
ties of life aboard so they will arrive
In Hongkong in 30 or CO day and in
time to relieve some of the distress.
Acting npon a suggestion In a letter
from R. E. Brsy yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Simon officially request the Red
Cross Society. Salvation Army, the Vol
unteer of America and other recognised
charitable organization to co-operate In
a movement to raise a fund for the relief
of famine sufferers in China. He Join
with Senator Selling' plan to give $100
to the fund.
-I heartily Indorse Senator Selling'
proposal to b one of several to con
tribuata $100 for tha famine sufferers of
China." said the Mayor. "It is the right
thing to do. I also request the assist
ance of the Red Cross Society of the
city, the Balvation Army and other char
Itabl eocietles of recognized standing to
aid in raising a creditable sum. ss sug
gested In a letter which I received from
R. E. Bray. W of wealthy Portland
should do well by this fund, and I hope
immediate action may be had. to tha
end that the needy may be relieved."

Several additional committees of th
Elks' 112 campaign reported collec

Van Rchuyver. A number of th com

lections, announced that they regretted
their inability to have Joined in tha

ever, agreed to busy themselves with
the canvas during th early part of
this week.
The campaign mankgers are confi
dent that the money required will be
raised, but they are not certain when
the complete amount can be announced,
because of th failure of a number of
committee to make any kind of a
report, and of other who have mad
but meager or Impartial reports of
their soliciting. If all the committee
men will get busy and devote one
entire day to the canvass "the work
can b cleaned up in hort ordej, ac
cording to the officials In charge of
the Elks' campaign.
Henry E. Reed, secretsry of the cam

TOURIST TRAVEL SOUGHT
CAXADIAX PACIFIC TO ROUTE
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Railway Seek Large Part of Busi
ness and Will Give All Stop
overs) in Portland.
To rout thousands of California tour
ist through Portland into Canada la the
elaborate echeroe that C. B. Foster, gen
eral passenger agent of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, who wss in the city
yesterday, haa in mind and which ha
hopes to work out on a trip to the
southern state for which he tartd last
night.
Thl la the first attempt the Canadian
Pacific hss made actively to engage In
the tourist trsde out of California.
"Whatever success we have in the
matter," said Mr. Foster, will be shared
by Portland, as this city la the gateway
that lead from California to th great
Northwest and to Canada. We tried It
In an experimental way last year and
were well pleased with the results. We
had but one train out of California, yet
everyone went home well pleased end
we have heard many Inquiries from th
same source this year.
"Thl ha made ue determined to en
gage more extensively In this class of
business, exchanging with the Southern
Pacific In thla city In handling it north
and south.
"All our schedules will be so arranged
that our paseengera will be allowed a
stopover of a day or two In Portland."
Mr. Foster reports excellent results
from the Canadian Paclne's immigration
methoda practiced in Western Canada
plaelng settlerai upon "rady-mado"
farm-. Th railroad clears a piece of
land, builds a house and barn, stocks
It and supplies it with Implement, and
put It out in its first year of grain.
The colontets are given about ton years
In which to pay for the land and the 1m
provementa. Most of this kind of land la
under irrigation and I of big valu from
th Btart. It attract a dslrable class
of immigrant from England, Eastern
Canada and Eastern and Central United
States.
There wan a great Increase last year,
reported Mr. Foster, of the number of
colonist from the Eatern Canadian
province snd from certain parts of the
United State to th southwestern provin
ces. A great rush already baa started
that year.
Canadian people have acquired the
habit of spending a part of each Winter
along the Paciflo Coaat of the United
Statea. Many of them coma to Portland
to remain all Winter, returning to their
own homes for the more agreeabla
weather of the Summer.
Mr. Foster waa accompanied on- hi trip
to Portland by H. W. Brodie. general
passenger agent with headquarters at
Vancouver, and R. G. McNeillle, district
passenger agent at Calgary.

HELD FAULTY
City May Not Enforce Vehicle
Tax Ordinance. ..
COURT POSTPONES HEARING
Examination to Be) Made for Alleged
V electa and it Found Actions
Will Be Dismissed and New
Measure Framed.
Flaw alleged to be in the new -vehicle
tax ordinance, which the Coun
cil recently passed, caused Deputy City
Attorney Benbow, representing the city,
yesterday to ask Judge Gantenbeln to
suspend the hearing of the injunction
case against th city until today, to
permit him more carefully to study the

that Ka urnuM not -n On With the
case In the race or tne eviaent. uawa m
the ordinance, unless he rouna mat
they had been misstated to the court.
The sentiment expressed by Mr. Ben
bow was to the effect that the city
would probably give up proceedings in
the case against It, and would pass a
nri r, a with thA f1aWn rftlTlOVed.
This is the third time that the city
has tried to enforce a vehicle ordinance,
and from Mr. Benbow's statement yes
terday it is quite certain that he is of
the opinion the latest ordinance is Just
as invalid as those which have preceded
it.
Grocers objecting to th ordinance
passed previous to the one now in liti
gation, brought ult to keep the city
from enforcing it. and took the cae to
the State Supreme Court. It was de
cided by th Supreme Court that the
ordinance was not valid, as it failed to
tax certain vehicles used on streets. It
was the Intention of the city to pass an
ordinance that would correct the weak
points found by the Supreme Court In
the previous law. but Mr. Benbow ex
plained to the court that after be had
prepared the ordinance so It would con
form with the requirements of the Su
preme Court, it had been changed by
some on else.
Attorney E. R. Ringo, representing a
large number of person opposing the
new ordinance, called attention to the
weak points in the law when the case
waa being heard yesterday. He ahowed
that the new law omitted automobiles,
which it had been held were licensed
under tha provisions of another ordi
nance, but Mr. Ringo pointed out that
the license of automobiles consisted of
but tl and was not in proportion to
the other vehicles that used the streets.
At this point, Mr. Benbow interposed
and said that h believed that if the
ordinance was as represented the city
would not try to enforce it, and he
asked for a postponement of the case
until this morning, that he might have
time to familiarize himself with the
relative fees charged for automobiles
and the fees provided in the new ordi
nance for other vehicles.
"It is not the intention of the city,"
said Mr. Benbow, addressing Judge
Gantenbeln. "to be partial in charging
fees, for the city is not going to im
pose a greater burden on some people
than on others, and if the conditions are
as represented, we will withdraw the
ordinance and frame a new one. This
matter has been decided once by the
Supreme Court, and we are not anxious
to go to the expense of defending a
weak ordinance which would lose in
the higher court."
Although the court has made no order
to restrain the city from enforcing the
new ordinance. It has been agreed on
the part of the city that It provUion
should not be enforced until the court
renders a decision.
PERMIT MISTAKES FOB KXOT.
Couple Blarried at Once, Learning
Error After Six Months.
Believing that a marriage license was
a marriage certificate and that they
were lawfully married when the license
was Issued. Michael Calabrls and Llvi
Antoniola lived together since August
19, 1J10. until they discovered yester
day tbat they were not married. They
hurried at once to the Courthouse to
make inquiries, and were advised to
get married immediately. Judge Clee
ton performed the ceremony.
"Since I have been in this office,"
said County Clerk Fields yesterday,
"there have been about BO couples who
have made the mistake of thinking that
the marriage license was a certificate,
and it was for that reason that I went
before the Legislature and asked that
a bill be passed requiring all County
Clerks to endeavor to find what has
become of all licenses not returned to
them within 30 days after being issued.
"I am glad that the Legislature has
passed the bill, for It will tend to pre
vent mistakes of this nature. This
couple Coming here today, previously
living together under the assumption
w
?7.'--ril
that they were married, show what
good can be done to search for missing
licenses. I have been doing this con
stantly, although the law did not re
quire it. Had these person not re
ceived a letter from my office asking
why their license wa not returned
they might have lived together for
year and left property interest In a
tangle, and the injustice to their off
prlng would have been lamentable."

Judge Bean sign an Injunction forever
restraining them from erecting or
maintaining fences about the public
range In Harney County. With the
signing of this injunction all the auits
against Jonos and the company are
finally disposed of.
The stock barons from whom Jones
and the development company secured
their land, had UBed a rimrock and a
circle of 40-acre tracts to enclose 83,
000 acres of Government range. Upon
these tracts they had erected a fence.
The Government brought both crimi
nal actions and civil suits to havo
tbo fence torn down. tVilllara Hanley
was convicted in the lower courts, but
the United. States Circuit Court of Ap
peals recently reversed the decision on
the ground that Judge Wolverton's in
structions to the Jury were In one point
illegal. Jones was convicted and fined
$500 and costs.
Jones represented that the fences
have now been abated, and when he
and the company consented to the re
straining order United States District

the case to rest. If the Government
land is acquired by the defendants in
the suits the injunction is to be dis
solved. SCALES BROKE OUT
ALL OVER HER BODY
Scalp Affected, Hair Began to Fall.
Hands So Disfigured She Had to
Wear Gloves All the Time. Two
Hospitals Unable to Assure Cure.
First Applicatfon of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Allayed Itching.
Psoriasis Has Disappeared.
"Allow me to say a few words in praise
of the Cuticura Remedies. About three years
ago, I was affected by white scales on my
knees and elbows. I consulted a doctor
who treated me for ringworm. I saw no
change and consulted a specialist and he
claimed I had psoriasis. I continued treat
ments under him for about six months until
I saw scales breaking out all over my body
save my face. My scalp was affaoted, and
my hair began to fall. I then changed
doctors to no avail. I went to two hospi
tals and each wanted to make a study of
the case and seemed unable to cure it or
assure me of a cure. I tried several pat
ent medicines and was finally advised by
a friend who has used Cuticura on her
children since their birth, to purchase
the Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a cake
of Soap, the Ointment and the Resolvent.
After the first application, the itching
was allayed.
"I am still using the Soap and Ointment
and now feel tbat none other is good enough
for my akin. The psoriasis haa disappeared
and I everywhere feel better. My bands
were so disfigured before using the Cuti
cura Remedies that I had to wear gloves
all the time. Now my body and hands are
looking fine." (Sirned) Miss Sara Burnett, 2135
