Vailed Btate. took part last night In
a publlo debet on conservation a af
fecting; Alaska, with Judge Julius
Thompson, Arthur Thompson and
Knlted State Commissioner Brltton.
Th hall vu crowded and Interest was
Intense.
Jndg Thompon'opened th debate
on th coaj Question, assarting; that the
proposed leasing; system was all wrotK
and an experiment by the Government
for which Alaskans must suffer. He
assarted that th system would not
atop monopoly unless th law wer sur
rounded by so many restrictions as to
frighten away th larg Investments
of capital, without which th develop
ment f th country would o Jraposl
ble. Wjv Flnchot defended th cancella
tion of th Cunning-ham claims, but
declined to cite law supporting bis po
sition, saying he waa not sufficiently
poeted as lawyer to speak on that
Mr. Ptnchot repeated his recent
statement that nls trip to Aiasaa naa
resulted In a considerable modification
of his Ideas regarding- laws needed for
th development and protection of th
resource of th country. H said he
expected to see muck favorable legis
lation for Alaska by th oomlng ses
sion of Congress.
Th forester and his party left this
moraine for Controller Bay. after
which they ar going op Bering- River
t sumlse th coal claims.

Th cruiser proceeded to Portsmouth
under Its own steam. Th White Star
Company dispatched tenders for th
passengers desiring to land, but only
TO took advantage of this. Many the
ories are advanced as to th cause of
th collision, but generally the war
ship 1 blamed. IT la suggested that
ths cruiser's steering gear failed to

Th naval officers and th officers of

DILTANKS SOURCE
OF COUNCIL BREAK
Monks and Jennings Assert
Present Ordinance Ought
to Be Repealed. .
AUTHORS ARE CRITICISED
Distifled Officials Say Measure
Will Be Introduced to Annul
Existing Law and Sew One
Prepared for Passage.
Oil tank legislation threatens to dis
rupt th organisation In th City Coun
cil, for yesterday Councilman Monks
made public his determination to In
troduce an ordinance at the next ses
sion. If possible, repealing ths previous
ordlnsnce, which crested six bWr oil
districts In th city limits. Councilman
Jennings offered Mr. Monks his sup
port, saying that he felt a grievous
wronsr hsd been done by the special
committee which recommended th
measure that Is now a law.
Councilman Monka took up the sub
ject with City Attorney Grant and In
tends to seek first the repeal of the
ordinance which pasned the Council af
ter being drawn In eecret, after which,
he says, he purposes asking for an or
dinance to be prepared by one of the
regular Council committees, alter a
fair and Impartial hearing has been
riven everyone concerned absolutely
open snd aboveboard.
Woaka Cessans Cosasattte.
"Ih.it ordinance, which we all voted
for. Is all wrong." said Mr. Monka
Personally I voted for It solely upon
th recommendation of Councilman
Baker. B.trgard and Watktna. compris
ing th special committee. They naa
passed two months investigating con
ditions and should have known better
than to have ailpped over anything like
they did. It is not going to work, as
far as I am concerned, for I have dis
covered that It Is not in the Interests
of th publlo welfare, and I shall ask
Its repeal, probably at the next aeasion
of th Council. I think any ordi
nance that Is good can stand the light
of day and should not be passed at a
special sessslon wltbout aa mucn as
having been properly Introduced, aa
this one was.
"Aftsr Its repeal I shall ask for an
open, publlo Investigation of condi
tions, with a view to drafting an ordi
nance that will meet with public ap
proval and. at th earn time, be fair
to both sides. In other words, I fa
vor either moving th oil companies
out of th city limits or of leaving the
tanks on the East aide where they are
now. If they are dangerous In one
place, they ar dangerous in anoiner.
and I don't Intend to have them shift
ed across th river into my ward."
Jeaalngs Voles sgrmsest
"I hsv greatly regretted that oil
leglslstlon,' 'said Councilman Jennings.
"1. too, voted lor tne oromanca luiw
lutely on the word of others. 1 had
been 111 for weeks and had no personal
knowledge of Its provisions. As a
matter of fact, however. I thought I
was v.. ting to put th oil tanks out
side of the city. I favor the repeal
of th ordinance without delay and th
reconsideration of th whole question
of oil storage and subjects linked with
It. These things should never be
rushed through in suoh haphaxard
fashion as waa this particular ordi
nance, and never again will I rote for
anything wltnout first having given It
special atudy and being familiar with
its provisions.-
Th. ordinance In question created
districts throughout th city wher th
storag of oils snd petroleum may be
made. Among tnea is one on uunu
t.i. In Councilman Monks' wsrd.
Others ar In South Portland, where a
great protest waa being mad when
Mayor Rushlight shut off possibl ac
tion by the improvement ciuo u m
signing th ordinance. It carried an
emergency clause and went Into Imme
diate effeot. Then there were two
districts on th South East Bide and
one at Portsmouth.

IF YOU INTEND BUYING
A PIANO
We told you yesterday of this tremendous Clearance Sale sale in which every Piano, every Player-Piano, every Bahy Grand and every Organ is in
cluded. Onr large stock must be cut in two, to make room for the Pianos now coming for the Fall and Holidays. It is virtually a Manufacturers' Clear
ance Sale and all profit-making will be lost sight of for the time being. Think of new Pianos world-famous makes, selling for $150 to $250 less than
regular prices. Our "Special Bargain Department," bulging with exchange Pianos, offers you slightly used high grade instruments for almost nothing-and
on the easiest of monthly or weekly payments at that. Please bear in mind that every piano sold, even at the low prices and easy terms now prevailing,
is fully warranted. The strongest guarantee that can be written goes with each instrument protecting the buyer at every point. Yonr money will be
cheerfully refunded if pianos are not as represented. Furthermore, we give a full year's free trial the most liberal offer ever made to piano buyers. The
following are but a few of the special bargains in our Piano Exchange Department. Remember, it's Kohler & Chase, second door west of the Star Theater.
