THE -HORNING OREGONIAN, . MONDAY. MIVRCII 16,-1914. II ITER OPPOSII DECLARED Circulators of Petitions Esti mate That 8d Per Cent -Favor Referendum. WATER HEAD IS CRITICISED Opinion Freely Expressed That Ex penditure of $500,000 Would Be Cn warranted and Contingent Cost ATonses Voters' Ire. ' Volunteer circulators of petitions lor the referendum against the universal Installation of water meters report that they are welcomed everywhere. They estimate that the sentiment in the city against the universal installation of meters ranges from 75 to 80 per cent. " One man placed the estimate as high es 90 per cent. Herewith are comments from some of those who have been interviewing electors and hearing- what they have to say on the subject: Mrs. Sarah E. Windle, of "Woodlawn Grange I have filled, out one' petition nd have started on another. I found two men who favored meters and de clined to sign the petitions. They de clined to sign for the reason that if tneters are installed it would mean, they said, that the cost of water to consumers in Portland would be cut in half. I tried to show these men that they were mistaken and that the in stallation of meters could have no ef fect on the cost to the consumer because- money must be raised to main tain the department whether the wa ter passes through meters or not. "W. I Boise and John W. Conway swept the . erround from under the meter people it the meeting of Woodlawn Grange Saturday night I estimate about 80 per cent, oppose meters. Four Refuse to Sign. , Dr. Lola Johnson, 482 East Arrkeny Ptreet While I procured 30 signatures on the referendum petitions I circu lated In my neighborhood only four declined to sign. I found the people I talked with very much in earnest in ' this matter. They consider the cost of the water" department too great at the present time, and are astonished that it should be proposed to add $500, 00 more. The people are signing these referendum petitions as fast as they can get the opportunity. Thomas HIslop, 615 Belmont Street I Judge that about 80 per cent oppose water meters. I got three petitions filled out in a short time. Very few refused to sign and their reason was that they imagined meters would cheapen water rates. There is little trouble to get people to sign the refer endum petitions. A. L. Bos camp, E00 East Washington Street I have filled one petition and have started on another. Opinion seems practically unanimous against the pro posed meter system. My time is lim ited or I could get every man and woman in this neighborhood on the referendum petition. Those who signed the petitions I had did so for the rea son that they are opposed not only to the meters, but to the present expen sive method of handling the water de partment and the piling up of inspect ors and useless employes. I think that fully 90 per cent are against the meter system. None Found to favor Meters. G. J. Schmidt, East Ankeny and East Fifteenth Streets I notice no one in this district favors water meters. I .have yet to ask a man to sign the ref erendum petition who has refused. The men who have homes and who rent in this neighborhood all oppose meters. ' The only people who hesitate are new comers, who say they know nothing about the meter question. Persons who signed my petition even favor laying another pipe line toBull Sun, if it should be necessary, and they favor ' reinforcing mains, permanent mains, not meters which have to be inspected and read monthly, causing a never ending expense. I. E. Bice, 1212 Ellsworth Street I have not met with a man in this neighborhood who favors water meters. W. H. Hosier, 551 East Taylor Street Out of 27 men interviewed, three were In favor of water meters. The other 2 signed the petitions for the referendum. J. H. Ballen, 1068 East Everett Street I find sentiment generally against the meter system. Twenty thousand names is the goal the committee expects to reach by Sat urday night, when the campaign is to be closed. This will be about three times the number necessary to bring the matter to a-referendum vote. New Photo Plays Open Peoples. MR VANGELINE," a subject interna ls tionally known, adapted from Longfellow's immortafpoem, was pre sented for the first time yesterday at the Peoples Theater, and proved a truly excellent production. The picture, di vided into two epochs and live parts, is photographically perfect, displays beautiful scenery, together with charm ing and realistic situations enacted by .n entirely capable and exceptionally large company in the original scenes in Annapolis Valley, around which the poem is written. Scenes of harvesting and work in the fields are beautifully portrayed. Laura Lyman, the well-known Eng lish actress, as Evangeline; is a beau tiful woman and gives an excellent por trayal of the character one has in mind on reading Longfellow's poem, and John T. Carletin, as the sturdy Gabriel, ful fills all expectations. The story of Longfellow is closely followed. The remainder of the programme consisted of two comedies. Miss Jewel James, the mezzo sopranist, won ap plause. There will be an entire change of programme Thursday. Majestic. A BOX of soil from the land of colleens and shamrock greets the patrons of the Majestic Theater this -week, in "The Colleen Bawn." Differ ent views of the lakes of Klllarney, the celebrated Gap of Dunloe,. and the real Anne Chute Castle are shown. The play centers about a lovely Irish girl of the peasant class, whom a nobleman woo! and secretly marries. The cere mony is performed by an unfrocked priest and witnessed by a servant of Ilardress. Myles. a suitor of Eily's, also sees the ceremony performed. Hard ress' estate is badly' involved, and his mother urges him to marry the wealthy Anne Chute, who is in love with an other, and many entanglements fol low: . . "An Officer and a Gentleman" Is a particularly strong and appealing play ..that deals with the results -of the fool ishness of a woman and the passions of - a man. Joe Roberts, the banjoist,. renders STRONG WHAT THE INTERNAL BATH IS DOING FOR HUMANITY Under the present mode of living the large intestine (the colon) cannot get rd of all the waste that it accumu lates, so It clogs up, and then bilious ness, constipation is the result, and that lack of desire to do, to work, to think. ' ' A This waste in the colon, as we all know, is extremely poisonous, and if neglected the blood takes up the pol sons and brings on countless very serious diseases appendicitis is direct ly caused by waste In the colon. If the colon is kept clean and pure you will always feel bright and capable never blue and nervous always up to "concert pitch." There is just one Internal Bath which will keep the colon as sweet and clean as nature demands it to be for perfect health that is, the "J. B. L. Cascade." Many thousands are using it, and doctors -prescribing it with great suc cess all over' the world. It is now be ins: shown and explained by Woodard, Clarke & Co., Alder and West Park sts., Portland. Ask for booklet, "Why Man of Today Is Only 60 Per Cent Efficient." Adv. some keen selections, and wins his share of applause. Columbia. A CLEVER romance of other days in Old Erin is "Kathleen, the Irish Rose," which opened for three days yes terday at the Columbia." It is a Than houser production in two parts. Maud Fealy, the great favorite, is featured in the title role and she Is assisted by a capable, company. The staging is beautiful and the photography of the films is excellent, 1 There is a love story of unusual heart interest in the production in which Kathleen, a pretty colleen, is sought in marriage by two men. One is Ter ence, a bold young man with little of this world's goods but a will and de termination that cannot be daunted. The other is an old, but wealthy squire who has more of wealth than he can enjoy. Kathleen is at a loss which of the two to accepU- Edgar English's work in "A Film Johnnie," a Keystone comedy, is a scream.

There are also views of the mid-Winter car nival in Honolulu, a snow storm in the Alps and other interesting scenes. Miss Matschiner sangtwo songs which were enjoyable. Same bill until Wedensday. Globe. WHEN It comes to real life por trayals It Is hard to beat the Vitagraph Company. So it is with the main picture on the bill at the Globe Theater today. In "The Portrait" every detail Is looked ajter, the most insig nificant parts are played by their best people and the result is a beautiful play. The story deals with an art competi tion. A beautiful old lady, unspoiled by the prevailing fashions, makes an Ideal subject. Her own son, having left home to become an artist, had been unfortunate, was brought back to his mother by recognizing the portrait. The ever popular Mary Fuller is seen in the third experience of "Dollie of the Dallies." These stories are com plete in each reel. Today's Is "A Question of Dress." Dolly becomes a dress model, and there are - shown the inside workings of such a life, as well as some exquisite "creations." Kate Price, always a favorite, and William Shea, the comedian, play leading roles in "Mrs. Maioney s ortune, a spright ly comedy. Miss Lewis supplies the music. Same, bill Mcnday and Tuesday. Star. THE best feature programme In sev eral weeks opened -at the Star Theater yesterday for a three-day run, and includes "The Price of the Neck lace," a two-part special showing, the ways of Wall street brokers and how a woman's desire for some ornament of dress may change the financial market of the world, makes a splendid story, full of powerful situations - and holds interest to the end. An additional feature in two parts, "A Strange Melody," would be a top-line picture on any programme, and has for its theme the passion of a gambler for organ music and how it changes his way of living, brings in many trying situations which are surmounted and in the end all wrongs are righted. The comedy part of the bill is well taken care of by 'the "Snakevllle Fire Brigade," which carries many laughs but no water. i Billy Strong, singing old-time South ern melodies, rounded out a strong programme. Same bill St. Patrick's day, with the Portland Ad Club as an extra holiday attraction. FIGHT FOR CHILDREN DUE PORTLAND WOMAN IS AT HEPP.VER, SEEKS HER OFFSPRING. JIr. M. Williams Also to Sne Grand father of Her Youngsters for Alleged Slander. IONE, Or., March 15. (Special.) M. Williams and wife, with their attorney, Henry E. Collier, of Portland, arrived at Heppner tonight to attend the spe cial session of Circuit Court which will be held on Tuesday by Judge Phelps. Mrs. Williams is the woman who on August 25, 1913, came to lone and at tempted to recover her two small chil dren from their grandfather, D. H. Grabill. The youngsters are Mrs. Wil liams' children by a former marriage. They had been given into the keeping of their grandfather by a California court. Mr. Grabill had Mr. and Mrs. Williams arrested on" a charge of kid naping and they passed a few days in the County! Jail at Heppner until a Portland relative furnished bail. When the matter came before the grand jury in November a not -true bill was re turned. Mr. Williams was also re leased from the joint charge. Attorney Collier said tonight: "We will have a hearing Tuesday on a habeas corpus proceeding, requiring Mr. Grabill to produce the children in court and show cause why the mother should not be awarded the legal cus tody of her children. Wt will charge that Mr. Grabill is not a fit guardian morally for the children. "Mrs. Williams will also start a slan. der suit against Mr. Grabill, charging that he publicly called her malicious, profane and untruthful names on the streets of lone on August 25, 1913."

Co-operation between the managers of the various film exchanges in Port land and the memDers of the executive committee of the local board of. cen sorship of motion pictures will make It unnecessary for other towns throughout the state to go t the trouble of viewing photo-plays, as all this work will be performed here and the action of the board will stand In all parts of Oregon. Nearly all the films shown in Ore gon are sent first to the Portland ex changes. Prior to the agreement, just perfected, between the exchange man agers and the members of the local board, eliminations or condemnations here were not necessarily carried out in other places in the state. The ac tion of the local board heretofore has meant only that its work held good In this city alone, out that when a film was sent outside of Portland It could go as it originally came in, with tne eliminations replaced or the entire play, if It bad been condemned, could go on. Astoria Board Appointed. This condition of affairs brought about an agitation in several of the larger-towns of the state for the ap pointment of boards of censorship and such action was taken recently at As toria,, although the motion-picture managers were opposed to It: they pre ferred to co-operate with the authori ties, but in Astoria.the board was made official, through its creation by ordi nance passed by the City Council and signed by the Mayor. There has been similar agitation in Eugene, where many have favored the creation of a board of censors for mo tion pictures, but the idea of making Portland the clearing-house for all films shown throughout the state was conceived by some one there and A. McDonald was sent to Portland to as certain whether action could be taken to bring1 this about. Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, president of the local censorship board for motion pictures, took up the subject with her committee and the local film exchange managers, with the result that an agreement was reached whereby the local board will do this work for the whole state. Mr. McDonald was author ized by the Eugene Council to state that if all films could be censored here no board would be created there. Mrs. Col well Likes Plan. "I consider this agreement a great advance," said- Mrs. Colwell yesterday. "The willingness of the Portland ex change managers to abide by the de cisions of the censorship board, not only within the city limits, but throughout the whole state, indicates that they appreciate the work we are endeavoring to do, even though It does sometimes become necessary for us to condemn a film in whole or in part. It will mean the saving of a great amount of work and inconvenience to other towns in Oregon. and will mean that every film shown In Portland will SCOPE IS BROADENED .Spalding Building ' Attorneys.

It is just as important that men shonldJ know oi progressive methods in advance of motherhood. The Buf fering incident t o child-bearing can be easily avoided by hav ing at hand a bottle of Mother's Friend. This is a penetrat ing, external applica tion that relieves all tension upon the mns clesaand enables them to expand without painful strain upon the ligaments. Thus there is avoided nervous spells ; the tendency to nausea or morning sickness is counteracted, and a bright, hap py Disposition is preserved that reflects wonderfully upon the charcter and tem perament of the little one soon to come. Yon can obtain a bottle of "Mother's Friend" at any drug store at $1.00. It preserves the mother's health, enables her to make a complete recovery, and thus with renewed strength she will eagerly devote herself to the care and attention which mean so much to the welfare of the child.
