POLICE ASK . LESS WORK
t
Karh Month.
"This ordinance hss been drasTfclns;
for nine months." said Councilman
Clyde, yesterday morntnfr. In demand
tnar action on proposed legislation to
srlve policemen two days vacation each
month.
"It oucht to drag; nine months more,
retorted Mayor Rushlight
Mr. Clyde renewed his efforts to have
the proposed ordinance considered.
"If the members of the Council think
the policemen are overworked." said
the Mayor, "they should follow some
of the officers around awhile."
Councilman Joy presented petitions,
signed by the wives of policemen, ask
Ins; that their husbands be Riven two
days each month.
Policemen complain that they are
forced to work elitht hours dally the
year around., with but IS days off for
vacation, when other employes of the
city observe every holiday and do not
work on Saturday afternoons. The
Council ordered the committee on ways
and mean to report on the ordinance
at the next session.
Councilman Magulre attacked the or
dinance appropriating. 1250 for secret
service work In the pevllce department.
The Chief knows." said Mas-utre. "that
the ladd estate Is rentlns; property at
No, 12 lor disorderly purposes. I cannot
see why the owners are not prose
cuted." The ordinance was passed.
ISMAY HAS DEFENDERS
Shipmate Say He Followed Law of
Sea on Titanic.
PORTLAND. Or.. April S4. To the
Fxiltor. Home of us old seafarers
think the hasty Judgment passed upon
Mr. Ismay by landlubber crttlca. in
cluding editors. Senators and preachers,
unfair and crueL The fact of bis being
alive, to them. Is a crime.
To begin with, a person on trial Is
entitled to have his peers sit In Judg
ment, men familiar with conditions to
be Investigated and In this rase mani
festly they should be nautical men.
not men like Senator Smith, of Michi
gan, who at once betrays his ltcnorance
by such questions as: "Were the pas
sengers informed of the location of
these water-tight compartments T' "Did
any of them take refuge therein?"
Clearly showing that his only Idea of
their purpose was a place wherein to
keep dry when water came aboard.
Such men are Incompetent and their
appointment a mistake.
The captain of a ship Is absolute
master thereon. No Mayor of a city,
or Governor of a state holds such
complete sway, and no one familiar
with the law and custom of the sea
would think of giving advice, or offer
ing suggestions to the captain.
Had the Titanic made her run In
safety, and perhaps beaten the record,
upon her arrival In New York the press
would have heralded the feat to the
world, and extolled her owners and
builders, her captain and officers, and
everyone In any way connected there
with. Mr. Ismay would have been
among the heroes, although he would
have had no more to do with her suc
cess than he has had In her destruction.
Immediately It was known that his
life was saved he became the object of
a tirade of Invective and false stories,
which, as this Investigation proceeds,
are disproved. Kvldence now shows
that Mr. imay followed the law of the
sea: "Women and children first."
helping In the launching of the life
boats and the embarkation therein of
the women and children, until no more
conld be mustered; that he then, very
shortly before the vessel sank, took his
I place In a boat and manned an oar
! until picked up by the rescuing ship.
While It is true that the iiianic m
not carry sufficient boats, she complied
with British marine law. and had been
passed by the Board of Trade, hence
her owners were not to blame for this.
She was believed to be unslnkable.
Unfortunately this has proven to be
a fallacy, and doubtless will result In
a change in the laws.
As we see It. the only culpability lies
Jn the speed maintained In these waters
at nlaht but the fact that our hydrog-
raphers state that the captain was j
following a course 0 miles south of the
regular route snows mi
taken this precaution and doubtless
thought his ship below 'the limit of
Icebergs. Any way this militates in
his favor. ,
The traveling; public, and especially
our own rich, are really responsible
for conditions that resulted In this
dreadful calamity. They have made such
a demand for luxury and speed that the
various companies have been vying
with each other to have the most mag
nificent and fastest boat, and It la
doubtful If a bait can be called.
We believe these hasty and cruel
critics will, later on. regret their at
titude toward Mr. Ismay.
SHIPMATES.
rrobably the writer of this letter
makes as good a plea for Mr. Ismay
aa anybody could, but It will not help
his case. There are occasions when
the only decent thing a man can do
la to die that others may live. Mr.
Ismay was face to face with such an
occasion when the Titanic waa sinking.
Through the delinquency or misfortune,
call It what you like, of his company,
hundreds of people were drowned. He
... . t w
deliberately deserted me scene oi ueam
In a boat which might have rescued
some of his victims. He preferred his
own safely to the safety of people
who were perishing through his fault.
That la a deed which the world never
can and never ought to forgive.

Indicating that a number of new and
novel features will be Introduced this

with some of the principals and these
ave signified willingness to assist in
iterartng for the parade.

special Invitation to visit Portland and
witness the children's parade, and the
message was wired him In the after
noon. C. A. Bigelow. chairman of the
parade committee, who presided at the
meeting yesterday, expressed the hope
that all school principals will assist
In making the human rosebud parade
better than ever before. He thought
that this can be done without Inter
fering with the school studies.
The committee on grandstands to
be erected on Grand avenue, between
Hawthorne avenue and East Burnslde
street. Is arranging for the erection
of several Jn connection with the
Klks" committee. The grandstanda
will first be used for the Rose Fes
tival and then for the Elks' parade,
and will have a capacity for seating
12.000 or more people. Vacant lots
along the street are being secured for
this purpose.
The committee on finance is push
ing Its work and hopes to complete
the canvass In a week or two.

KEEP THE CHILDREN'S
BOWELS CLEAN NOW
If Tongue Is Coated, Stom
ach Sour, Breath Fever
ish, Bowels Clogged,
Give 4 ' Syrup of Figs. ' '
Children dearly love to take delicious
"Syrup of Figs" and nothing else cleans
and regulates their tender little stom
achs, liver and 30 feet of bowels so
promptly and thoroughly.
Children get bilious and constipated
Just like grown-ups. Then they get
sick, the tongue Is coated, stomach sour,
breath bad; they don"t eat or rest well:
they become feverish, cross. Irritable and
don't want to play. Listen Mothers
for your child's sake don't force the
little one to swallow nauseating castor
oil. violent calomel or harsh Irritants
like Cathartic pills. A teaspoonful of
Syrup of Figs will have your child smil
ing and happy again In Just a few hours.
Syrup of Figs will gently clean, sweeten
and regulate the stomach, make the
liver active and move on and out of
the bowels all the constlpaed matter,
the sour bile, the foul, clogged-up waste
and poisons, without causing cramps or
griping.
With Syrup of Figs you are not drug
ging or Injuring your children. Being
composed entirely of luscious figs, senna
and aromatlrs It cannot be harmful.
Full directions for children of all ages
and for grown-ups plainly printed on
the package.
Ask your druggist for the full name
"Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna"
prepared by the California Fig Syrup Co.
This Is the delicious tasting, genuine
oid reliable. Refuse anything else offered.
