By vote of five to two tha street committee of tha City Council decided at yeatarday morning's ' meeting to eliminate from tha proposed blanket franchlae to the Portland Railway. Light Power Company the J-cent fare clause. Councilman Schmeer and Joy had ehanved their minds since tha meeting last Thursday and voted against It. Councilman Baker. Burgard and Dunntng also voted to eliminate this clause, aa they did at last week's meeting. Councilman Monks and Ma frulre voted to retain the clause. It was alao decided to strike out that portion of the franchlae relating to the Broadway bridge, and to arrant the franchlae along Seventh street from Jefferson street to tha bridge, and alonx Broadway on tha Kait fide t' the brldk-e. subject to an aareement with tha company as to the rate to be charged by the city for the use of tha brlda-e.

Fuller, ' representing the street car company, asked that It be left op tional with the streetcar company either to use or not to use Ktark street between Seventh and Thirteenth streets. should the franchise Include thla strip. A motion to ..eliminate this part of Stark atreet from the franchlae was de feated. It was decided to allow the company to construct either a single or a double track from Salmon street to Jefferson on Seventh. The committee will recommend that the proposed fran chise be sent to the Executive Board for valuation. Adjournment waa taken until t:30 o'clock this morning. Maswlre Wesee taaatlr. Commentlna upon the action of Councilman Bchmeer and Joy In turn Ins against the J-cent fare clause. Councilman Monks remarked to Coun cilman Baker that he. Mr. Monks, hadn't switched over night." "Perhaps If we adjourn for another week the vote would be unanimous," suggested Coun cilman Ma BUI re. City Attorney Grant was asked or an opinion on the J-cent fare clause. and aald If It were eliminated the court might hold that the failure to Insert It waa a forfeiture of the city' right to regulate fares. -Mr. Griffith, representing the com pany, has frankly said he objected to it because he wanted to save the point In favor of the company." commented Mr. Grant. "I want to save It In favor of tha city. I have also inserted In the franchise that every provision of the city charter relating to a tree far serv ice la to ba reed Into thla franchise, whether It has been Inserted or not. I have gone Into this matter with the Couocllmen repeatedly. revapeay'e F.n eai Fliaaar. "So far as concerns .-.alma made by tha company that It cannot ae'l bonds, tha bondbuyers cannot chana-a the pro visions of the city charter. If the rail way company cannot float ita bonds on that account It haa an Investment in an unfortunate part of the country, that la all. If you wanted t elimin ate this t-cent fare ctause you might Insert the words, "none of tlio provi sions of the city charter are waived."" "This clause not only affects the seven miles of new track, but the 11 miles ef track we have been operating eome of It for 20 years," said Mr. Fuller. "Should the Council reduce the fere we would have no chance to con test except on the ground of the rea aonableness of the reduced rata." "It could be contested on no other ground." said Mr. Grant. That's your opinion." retorted Mr. fuller. "If the Malarkey bill la passed It will take fare regulation out of the hands of the city." said Mr. Grant. "There la no doubt In my mind that It will pass. In view of the present tem per of the people upon these public service corporation questions. "Of course this 3-cent fare clause af fects the whole system. Therj would be no sense In providing for It unless It did Include the whole ,ytem. It would be of no advantage to the city to pro vide a 1-cent fare for the extensions only. That would make an 8-cent fare to tha business section." Five Crate Cheap Eatewca. Mr. Baker said the fare ojght not to be less than t cents. "T will say frankly and op'nly that I think the -cent fare, with the present haul and tranafer system In Portland, ta little enough for anybody." he said. "1 think anybody with an ounce of reason will agree with me." "Transportation conditions may change a good deal In 5 years," com mented Councilman Monks. "I don't give a rap for the I-cent fare for this company, but if It la put In this fran chlae. It will ba put In otcer fran chisee." "If It doesn't do any good, why keep It?" queried Baker. "I don't think we are doing the people In the outlying districts any good by p-eventlng- these lines from being extende. this bummer, and I don't think any of 'is will gat a a-reat amount of credl ft it." "I don't take any at-vk I.I that kind of talk. waa Mr. Monks' rejoinder. Councilman Joy aaked City Attorney . Grant If In his opinion the city haa the right to regulate the fares without the I-cent fare clause, being Inserted in the franchise, and received the reply that it has "until the power Is with drawn by the state and lodged else where." ' BABE'S IDENTITY' IS FIXED Child First Thought Mary Braa's Found to Bo Son of YV. Schultx. It waa learned yesterday, following the death of the second of the four babies taken from the home of Mrs. I. E. Miller. 235 Twentieth street North, last week, that a mistake has been made regarding the Identity of the first baby that died, and that it had been entered as a county charge as the son of. Mary Braa, of Big Timber, Mont., when In reality lr waa the son of W. Schultx. of Grays Harbor, Wash. At the Coroner's office It Is said that Mrs. Miller identified the baby upon its death as the Schultx baby, but Satur day, on a visit to the County Hospital, following a hearing In the Juvenile Court, Mr. Miller Identified another baby that waa not expected to live aa the Braa baby. This baby died Sundayi and yesterday Mr. Miller reiterated her identification of the dead baby as the Braa baby.

Specialties Are Catchy. Around the plot Is woven a aerlea of catchy specialties and entire act nov elties which give the young actora an opportunity to display to good advan tage their terpslchorean abilities, which' adds much to the brilliancy of the production. The plot of the play Involves the proverbial feud between the under graduate student and the faculty mem ber: the difficulties encountered by two hearts that would beat aa one were It not for the mixing of their destinies by will of a foolish parent; the as;e-old struggles between the "fresh" In the hands of the dominating upperclassmen: the comedy complica tions arising from two youths Invading a college "prom" In feminine dlagulse: the thrills of a rapid-fire series of leap year proposals all directed at one poor man In short, a mirthful carica ture of everything amusing and excit ing that might take place on the cam pus of any coeducational college. Of course, the entire tangle of events Is nicely unwound at the end. but in the unwinding- there la music and laughter at every turn.
