SATX7HDAT, DECEMBER. 20. 1913. m i . . . - aa.aMaaaaaaaaaeaaaaa--- i . i : ll HUNT UNEMPLOYED TO GET JOBS lODAy City Hires First 25 but Prepa ration of Lists De lays Start. . BUSINESS MEN TO HELP With Nearly 5000 Applications on File Commission Arranges to Em ploy 1100 at $3 a" Day and Other Work Is Found. ' With close to 500 applications for -ork on file In th places selected by the city for the receiving of applica tions under the relief labor system, the city will commence taking on large pangs of men today. It has been ar ranged to put about 100 men to work yesterday bat because of the Inability of clerks to get out notices on time It was possible only to put about 25 men to work. These men worked yesterday and will work again today. They will then be laid off for a week and their places given to others. In addition to those given work yes terday arrangements have been made for 43 laborers at Laurelhurst Park and 50 at Mount Tabor Park, all to com mence work this morning st 8 o'clock. The men for the work were selected yesterday from the list of applications found in the offices of the Civil Service Board at the City HalL To comply with the provisions of the city charter It has been found necessary to exhaust the civil service list before taking on any others. Letters were placed in the mail yesterday morning to all per sons on the eligible lists notifying them that they can get work today or Mon--lay by applying. Tbey are asked in the notices not to accept the work if they can find anything else to do. inas much as the work is being pushed through for the benefit of persons wUo are unemployed. Harrted Mrm to Be Ftrat. Monday morning the city will draw the first of the list of men from the applications on file at the Municipal Free Employment Bureau. Preference will be given to married men. Those elected will be given two days' work each week as long as the city relief funds Inst. All will be required to do a full day's work and will be paid 13 a day which Is the city's scale for laborers. The crew which goes on Monday will be kept at work until Tuesday night, when all will be paid and discharged and a new gang put to work Wednesday morning. The crews will alternate in such way that all un employed will be given at least two days' work each week. The City Commission at a meeting yesterday passed an emergency ordi nance providing for the hiring of 1100 men each day in addition to the crews engaged from the civil service lists. The measure, as passed, provides for 350 laborers each day for Department of public Works. 250 for the Department of Public Affairs and 600 for the De partment of Public Utilities. Bwlww Mem Aid. That the business men and firms of the city are anxious to help the city out in its plan is apparent from the re ceipt yesterday by Commissioner lneck of 32 letters from business men, Mho are willing to pay. the cost of rounding off the curb corners in front of their property. This will give many men work. Thursday night Commis sioner Dieck dropped 150 letters in the mail to business men, asking them to stand the cost of the curb-rounding so that the unemployed can be given work. By return mull 32 letters came back accepting the plan and agreeing to pay the cost of the work. This will give work to a large number of men. It is expected there will be many more re turns from the letters today. The men who will be put to work today in Laurelhurst aud Mount Tabor Parks will put through important per manent improvements. In Laurelhurst Park they will construct trenches in wnlch to lay water mains and In Mount Tabor Park they will construct a driveway leading northerly from the southwest entrance to the park. SCHOOL TAX IS ATTACKED Women Circnlute Petition Despite Kullnjr Work Is ITseless. Several woman have beon circulating petition in Irvlngton Park and else where declaring that the recent school tax levy of 7.5 mills was illegal and should be declared void. One woman who has beeu circulating the petition Mated that it contains 950 names, and that all that Is neeued to render the tax levy null and void is to obtain a total of 1301 signatures. She says that 1300 persons attended the taxpayers' meeting and voted, and that by pro curing .one name more than the num ber who voted at the meeting the whole results of that meeting can be declared illegal. It Is proposed, she said, to submit the petition when 1301 or more names have been procured to Gov ernor West, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Attorney-General. In the petiton it is set forth wb,y the proceeding are said to be illegal. Before the clrculjfcors of this peti tion started out. however, they were advised by District Attorney Evans that their work would be wasted as the meeting was legal and its work wo tiki stand. They are going on to set the 1301 names to the petition and pass It up to the Governor and State Superintendent, DEPOSED MEN ASK HEARING I'our More Application of Appeal Made to Cirll Service Board.

Vcarly -100 cases of adulterated to mato catsup have either found their way to Portland tables In the past six weeks or are on the shelves, of re tailers and may soon find their way to the patient "ultimate consumer," say Federal officials. This catsup, which arrived in Port land November 1, consigned to the Hud son ft Gram Company, wholesalers, bore the label. "Luxury Brand, guaranteed nnder the food and drug act." , A chemist's analysis, made in San Francisco, from whence the catsup was shipped by the Sunlit Fruit Company, showed that the stuff contained an ex cessive number of bacteria yeasts and spores, with much mold, and also was adulterated and partially decomposed. - This information was received De cember 17. by District Attorney Reames from Secretary of Commerce Houston, and was the basis of complaints filed Thursday by Assistant District Attor ney Sumrall against this consignment and another received by tne Martin Marks Coffee House. Of the 00 cases in the first ship ment only two and a half remained unsold to be seized by Deputy United States Marshal Becker this morning. Eight and a half cases were seized at the Marks Coffee House, where but little had been sold. Each case contains 10 one-gallon cans, so the people of Portland have either eaten or may eat 2000 gallons of catsup that has been declared unfit for food. The shippers of the catsup may -be prosecuted nnder .the pura food and drug act. . HIGH SCHOOLPLAY GIVEN "ROSE O PLYMOUTH'' RAKKS TO HIGH STAJTDARD. AadJeaee Fills Auditorium When Qaaint Dnuu of Colonial Days la Pre sented by Strom Cast. Before an autdience which filled the Washington High School auditorium, the quaint play, "Rose, o' Plymouth." waa produced last night by two of the literary societies of the school, the Phrenodlken and the Eukrlneon. This, the fourth annual production by these two societies, ranked up to the stand ard of their preceding plays. The cast was fen excellent ono, and the setting entirely in keeping with the story oi the play.' -The historic Captain Miles Standlsh added a touch of familiarity to the play, and the fact that Catherine Alexander, who took the part of Barbara Standlsh, wife of the Captain, is a direct de scendant of John Aldcn. added a per sonal Interest to her Interpretation of the part. Her use of the flax wheel which was brought over In the May flower made the scene the more at tract. Margaret Weeks, as Rose de la Noye, showed herself possessed of more than usual dramatlo ability. She played the part of the self-willed, adventurous, capable, Joyous, Puritan maid. In a most capable manner. Ellen Jackson as Miriam Chillingsley, and Marian Bennett as the strong Puritanic aunt, liesoiuie Story, were showed to good advantage. The male members of the cast pro vided equally good interpretations of their parts. Ralph Wlnchell as Garrett Foster, the hero, did admirable work as a foil to the winsome. vivacious-Kose. Franklin Fowler as Miles StaiKllsh. Hiram Humphrey as John Margeson. and Ernest Fatland as Phllllpe de la Noye, might well have been taken for members of the early Puritan colonies Instead of SOth century high school boys. Much of the credit for the suc cess of the play belongs to Miss Hen drickson. who directed the production. The cast was as follows: Rose de la Nora, Margaret Weeks; Bar bara Standuh. Catherine Alexander; Mir iam Chlilinsley. Kllen Jackson: Resolute Storv, Marion Bennett; Garret Foster, Ralph Winchell: Mllea standlsh. Franklin Fowler: John Margeson, Hiram Humphrey; Phllllpe de la Noye. Ernest Fatland. Postal Force Has Bad Quarter Hour Sniffing, Postmaster Declares Of fensive Package Contains Mm-bnrft-rr, and Special Car Makes Delivery. EXTRAORDINARY haste and caution were used in handling a certain package which arrived by parcel post at the Portland postoffice yesterday morning. No sooner had the sack containing this package been dumped inside the Sixth street entrance than it became a storm-center of suspicion. The sack was opened ahead of its turn, so great was the interest taken in what it might contain. "Let's get this over as soon as pos sible," said one of the clerks, diving into the pile of bundles. He soon lo cated the package that was causing the atmospheric disturbance. An emergency existing. Postmaster Myers was sent for. and came with Assistant Postmaster Shellenberger. "That's limberger cheese," said Post master Myers, sniffing sagely at a safe distance from the package in question. "How do you know?" asked Shellen berger. I've heard the chimes at mid night,' " quoted the postmaster, briefly. Everyone was as brief. A hurried "post-mortem" was held, and the package was sent to its ad dress in South Portland by special de livery automobile, as it was not consid ered wise to send it by carrier on a streetcar. Besides, there was no carrier who cared to carry it. . CONGRESS DATES NOW SET Oregon Irrigation Delegate to 3Ieel February 12-14.
