Emergency Body Member Says
Mr. West Apparently Would
"Pass Buck" to Board..
NEED OF ACTION GREAT
City Commission, After Conference
AVith Mayor, Decides to Declare
Emergency and Put Action
TJp to Executive.
are that my wife had taken Miss Ander
son into our home three months ago
and dressed her fully, even to her shoes,
and the two dresses in question were
ones loaned by Alrw. Mosby to Miss
Anderson so she could attend dances."
said Murray L. Mosby, a traveling sales
man, yesterday regarding the stir cre
ated by Miss Florence Anderson, who
caused the steamer Bear to be held
after sailing- time Wednesday, when she
appeared at the dock with an officer
and warrant for Mrs. Mosby, who she
charged with appropriating two party
gowns.
"Another misrepresentation was the
charge that the dresses were in trunks
held at the Carmellta Apartments for
rent, as the trunks were aboard the
Bear when Mrs. Mosby sailed. There
was not the slightest occasion for such
a proceeding as holding them for rent,
and it seems to me that the whole mat
ter is the result of resentment on the
part of Miss Anderson because my wife
decided on the California trip. bhe
came to us three months ago through
the Young women s Christian Associa
tion. Her home was In New York, and
she had telegraphed relatives there for
money without getting any response.
Further than this we know nothing of
her."
Although members of the State
Emergency Board have shown Governor
"West where he has money available
to use In furnishing work to the un
employed, he has done nothing to open
up work, apparently trying to put re
sponsibility on the emergency board,
which has no power to take the Initia
tive in any measure looking to the
expenditure of money for the benefit
of the unemployed.
This was charged yesterday by State
Senator Perkins, a member of the
emergency board, at a meeting at the
City Kail to devise ways and means of
furnishing work for the Idle men In
Portland. Tn attendance were mem
bers of the City Commission, the County
Commission, the State Emergency Board
and representatives of the Oregon Civic
League.
The meeting was called by Mayor
Albee after a conference Wednesday
with Governor West, at which the Gov
ernor announced that if the city would
call an emergency he (the Governor)
would be Justified in going: ahead with
road or other work. Mayor Albee
called members of the State Emergency
Board to the meetinsr to see if they
would take steps to back the Governor
In his expenditures.
Governor Has $100,000.
State Senator Perkins declared that
recently the Board members showed
Governor West where he had J100.000
or more available for work on the Co
lumbia Southern Irrigation project In
Eastern Oregon and that a large num
ber of men could be furnished work
But so far. Dr. Perkins declared, the
Governor has done nothing.
It was declared by Dan J. Malarkey,
a member of the Emergency Board, that
the purpose and jurisdiction of the
Board Is to pass upon the question of
deficiencies in state funds and not to
assume the role of a petty Leglsla
ture or a legislative body in any sense
of the word. He said the Board has
no power to tell Governor West to go
ahead and expend money excepting
where it is shown that there is a
deficiency In a fund -for the operation
of a state institution or department.
No assertion has been made that there
are any state fund deficiencies, it was
said, and therefore the Emergency
Board is without power to authorize
any expenditures.
Need of Action Seen.
It was asserted by members of the
Civic League that something should be
done at once to provide work for the
hundreds of Idle men in the city. Mem
bers of the City Commission pointed
out that they have employed hundreds
of men at great expense and have prac
tically reached the limit. It was shown
by County Commissioners Llghtner and
Holman that the county has kept a
force of 100 men engaged on road work
at Multnomah Falls and is 'planning to
put on another force of about 100 on
Sandy River.
The state, it was said, has done little
or nothing to assist the men, although
funds have been available. As a
climax of the meeting it was decided
that the City Commission declare that
there Is an emergency in the situa
tion and that this emergency be pre
sented tn an official way to Governor
West. It was asserted by members of
the Emergency Board that the Gov
. ernor has power to act without regard
to the Board.
MPROVEMENT IS NOTED
JU M. GRAY FINDS CONDITIONS Alt 13
'EASIER IN EAST.
Portland Clothier Explains Fatlue of
Slearel-Cooper A Co. and Dis
cusses Wilson Sentiment.
A general betterment . in business
conditions Is especially noticeable
throughout the East since the passage
of the tariff and currency measures,
according to R. M. Gray, tne clothier,
who returned to Portland yesterday af
ter several weeks In New Tork and
Chicago.
"There is no question that conditions
are better," said Mr. Gray. "It Is espe
cially noticeable in greater confidence.
There had been a feeling of unrest as
to what might happen, but now that
people know what to expect, there has
been a general easing of the tension.
"Mr. Wilson has won the East. Just
as an example of the absolute confi
dence that is felt in him, John Wana
maker, the big mercnant, lifelong Re
publican and Postmaster-General in
President Harrison's Cabinet, said in an
interview in the New York Herald
week ago: 'He has done in six months
what we have promised to do for 20
years."
"Of course, there has been a good
deal of talk about the failure of Seigel,
Cooper & Co. for $40,000,000. I have
not seen it explained anywhere, how
ever, that this store was away down
town on Sixth avenue in a district that
was practically like a deserted village.
"Though they are feeling undeniably
better in New York, retail business has
not been good this Winter. This is
chiefly due to the fact that they have
had no Winter. With the exception of
three days, the weather has been al
most as mild as it is in Portland. The
same was true to a certain extent in
Chicago, though business there was
very much better.
"It is a curious fact that the Middle
West has not felt business depression.
The reopening of the steel mills at
Pittsbursc is also a very significant
fact, and an almost absolute index of
the return of prosperous conditions."
'JEW MEAT ACT OFFERED
DRASTIC CHANGES PROVIDED IN
PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
GEORGE S. SHEPHERD OUT
Fourth-Time Candidate for Congress
to Try for Place.-
r George S. Shepherd announced his
candidacy yesterday for the Repub
lican nomination for Representative in
Congress from the Third Congressional
District. This is the fourth time he
has been a candidate in as many cam
paigns. As heretofore, his campaign slogan
will be "Deep water to the sea." He
asks that thos-rtoTds and "Radical
reduction of Federal Court fees" be
printed on the ballot following his
name.
His principles, as announced In his
declaration of candidacy filed in the
office of County Clerk Coffey, are:
. "Forty feet of water at the Columbia
River bar. Thirty feet to Portland.
Amendment of navigation laws so that
foreign vessels which have been pur
chased and owned by citizens of the
United States may ha registered under
the American flag. Real reform In
Federal Court procedure and radical
reduction of Federal Court fees.'
Mr. Shepherd has lived in Portland
for 20 years. He was a member of th
City Council several years ago.
Inspector and City Health Officer Draft
Measure Requiring: Change in
Methods In Use.
If the City Commission passes a pro
posed new meat ordinance which has
been drafted by City Meat Inspector
Stickney and City Health Officer Mar
cellos, drastic changes will be brought
about in the methods of handling the
city's meat supply. The ordinance was
submitted yesterday to members of the
Commission.
The most important part of the meas
ure Is a provision which requires all
meat sold in the city to be stamped
with the official inspection seal either
of Federal or city inspectors. In
slaughtering places In or near the city
slaughtering must be done under mu
nicipal or Federal Inspection. Pro
prietors of slaughtering places are re
quired to give the health officials at
least 24 hours' notice that the services
of an Inspector are required.
It Is further provided in the measure
that slaughtering can take place only
between 7 A. M and 5:30 P. M. For the
services of inspection the dealers are
required to pay the city at the rate of
60 cents an hour and no inspection will
be performed for less than $1.80. Meats
shipped Into the city from the outside
must be submitted to inspection by the
municipal inspectors unless the seal of
Federal inspectors is attached. There
are numerous other provisions.
JAIL CHANGES SUGGESTED
Prisoners' Weal Considered by Com
mitteo and Report Made.
Recommendations for the improve
ment of the condition of the County
.Tail and the prisoners confined there,
prepared by the committee from the
Oregon Prisoners' Aid Society, which
visited the county prisons last Novem
ber, were submitted to the County
Commissioners yesterday.
The report recommends that an as
sembly-room be provided where relig
ious and educational study may be had
and exercise provided: that segregation
be provided, both in the male and fe
male wards, so that witnesses and
those held for trial need not be as
sociated with malefactors; that em
ployment be provided for the Inmates
that comfortable chairs and carpets be
. provided for the sitting-room in the
female department: screens for the
toilets and shower baths for the worn
en: the prohibition of male employes
and prisoners going to the female
quarters: better arrangement for the
care of Insane patients; better system
of records, and better ventilation and
lighting by the removal of the outside
wall.

New Home Treatment
For Removing Hair
(Modes of Today)
The following formula is now almost
universally used by beauty specialists
for banishing hairy or fuzzy, growths
from the chin, lip or cheek: Get from
a druggist a small original package of
delatone and mix enough with water
to cover the hairs not wanted. Apply
and In about 2 or 8 minutes remove
and with it comes every bit or hair.
The skin should be washed following
this treatment to remo the remaining
delatone. Be careful to get the real
delatone, otherwise you might be dls
appointed. Adv.
