THE 3IORNIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTE3IBER 4, 1914. 17 THREE DISTRICTS ASK FOR SCHOOLS Several New Portable Build ings May Be Provided to Meet Emergency This Fall. DEAF PUPILS NOT TO MOVE Committee Named by School Board and Given Power to Act on Pe titions of Alameda, Berkley and Moreland Delegations. Lack of school accommodations in their districts (or the approaching term was the plea of three delegations of Portland citizens before the Board of Education yesterday afternoon with re quests for relief. A special committee with power to act, of which Dr. Alan W. Smith is chairman, was appointed to make im mediate investigation of complaints. Several new portable schools may be the result of the committee findings. Representatives from Alameda Park. Berkeley and Eastmoreland districts went away pleased with the prospects, but, upon the refusal of Chairman M. G. Munly to give a definite promise as to what would be done in their case, the Richmond delegation of women left the meeting in indignation. Deaf Students Not to Move. The plea of Mrs. C. A. Ward that the deaf students not be placed with the defective students, made at the meeting previous, bore fruit, the recommenda tion of the teachers' committee that the school for the deaf not be transferred from the Buckman building to the Allen School being adopted. It was said that there was no need for relief at the Buckman School through other adjust ments in the department, and that if there became such a need the deaf stu dents could be placed in the Stephens School rather than with the defective children. At the opening of the meeting Robert F. Jiaguire. representing the delegation from the Alameda Park district, bound ed by Bast Twenty-second, East Forty second, Knott and Prescott streets, said that district was not served by any school. He said about 200 children reside in the district, all of whom walk at least a mile to attend school. The schools they could walk to will be crowded, he pointed out. A lesse for the ground upon which a temporary school might be erected, with a term of two years, was offered by the spokesman on behalf of this district. A portable school would an swer at present, said Mr. Maguire. Committee to Investigate. With power to order the construction at once, if thought necessary, a com mittee consisting of Alan W. Smith, chairman, O. M. Plummer and J. V. Beach, was appointed by the chairman to give the matter immediate considera tion. Jacob Kanzler was spokesman for the Eastmoreland, Argyle Heights and Berkeley additions. He asked that a portable school be erected for the fifth and sixth grades in that district, and. if possible, for the grades higher. H. F. Reinhardt and J. L. Griflin made the same plea, and the matter was referred to the same committee. Asserting that a new building had been promised nearly a year ago and that nothing had been done about it, Mrs. J. F. Chapman asked for three more portable schoolrooms for the Rich mond district domestic science and manual training departments, or the completion of the school begun. The matter of finishing the school building Is still in the hands of the building committee and construction engineers of the department. Woman Demands Action. When the chairman said this matter would be referred to the same special committee, one of the members of the delegation rose and indignantly de clared that she thought they were en titled to more than promises; that they had lived on promises which had not been fulfilled, and tiiat they wanted ac tion. The chairman replied that no promises had been made in his recol lection, or could have been made with authority. The recommendations on fire hazards made by H. P. Boardman were placed on file. The Board accepted the invi tation of Commissioner W. L. Brewster to attend the meeting of the committee on unemployed at the Council Chamber at 2:30 this afternoon. A room in the old Failing building was offered for the use of the city free dental clinic. Participation in the Manufacturers' and Euud Products Show was referred to the teachers' committee. The request of the City Christian En deavor Union that the night school be placed on the same basis as the day schools was referred to the teachers' committee. Teachers' Reafg-natf ons Accepted. The resignations of Florence Akin, assistant in the Irvington School: Julia L. Dean, assistant In the School for the Deaf; Teresa Fitzpatrlck. as sistant in the Creston School; H. S. Jones, janitor at the Holladay School; Pearl Lewis Anderson, assistant in the Rose City Park School, and Emelie Schairer. assistant in the Rose City Tark School, were accepted. Marion L. Brodie, assistant in the Buckman School, received a leave of absence until September 28: Marian A. Culvet. of the Lincoln School, a two weeks' leave, and Alice M. Johnson, of the Arleta School, a leave of absence lor the first term of school. The offer of five blocks at the inter section of Jefferson and Chapman streets to tha School Board for $148,000 was referred to the grounds committee. Six contracts and bonds were approved. Claims amounting to $41,373.70 were allowed. The Board ordered paid (87.94 from the insurance fund. High School Site Selected. It was voted to waive former action of July 16. 1914. and to purchase the Tenney tract for a high school site, omitting the dedication of a 30-foot strip along the south end of the Matthews tract for a road. Principal S. F. Ball's plan of placing tiie commercial department of the Franklin High School In the South Mount Tabor building, and other de partments in the Creston building, was approved. As the Allen School will not be used to relieve the Hawthorne, it was voted to rent only as much as would be needed for the school for de fectives. The report of Superintendent of Properties Naramore, relating to new appointments of janitors and upkeep and improvement of grounds, was adopted. 74 SIGN UPF0R BEND Necessary 100 for Ad Club Trip Is Anticipated.

MAYOR DECIDES POINT MOTION PICTURE CENSOR BOARD IS DECLARED TO BE OFFICIAL. Contention of Mrs. Newill Sustained by Executive, Who Asserts Right to Power of Appointment. Mayor Albee yesterday brought to a close a controversy which has been on for some time past between members of the Board of Motion-Picture Censors re garding the standing of members of the Board whether they were to be appointed by the various women's or ganizations or whether they were to be appointed by the Mayor. The Mayor ruled in a letter sent to the Board that the Board has an official standing and is not a delegated body, and that the executive has the appointing power. The trouble started recently, it Is said, when President Frankel. of the Woman's Club, announced appoint ments, soon after her election., She named three women who were to rep resent the club oil the Censorship Board, it having been understood that the Board members were named by the various organizations that brought about the censorship plan and named the members of the first Board. Mrs. A. C. Newill, who was the retiring president of the Woman's Club, had delegated herself as that organization's member of the Censorship Board. In the new appointments, Mrs. Frankel did not include Mrs. Newill. it is said. Mrs. Millie Trumbull, a member of the Board, insisted, it is said, that Mrs. Newill retire from the Board and allow one of the newly appointed women to take her place. She did not insist upon places being given all three of the ap pointees. Mrs. Newill refused to retire, declaring that the plan of the organi zations appointing the members applied only when the Board was first organ ized. She insisted that the organiza tions had no right to appoint new mem bers, declaring that power rested with the Mayor. It was in this form that the disputed point was presented to Mayor Albee as referee. He took the proposition under advisement and yesterday sent a letter to the Board announcing that the Board was an official Board, the members of which were appointed by the Mayor. He announced the members to be Mrs. A. C Newill, Mrs. A. M. Gray, Mrs. Sol Hart, Mrs. Millie Trumbull and Mrs. Elmer Colwell. "PRAISE" PLAN IS OPPOSED. Motion Picture Censors Unite In Condemning Proposed Change. In the opinion of members of the board of motion picture censors, the plan of having a board of praise rather than a board of censors, as recom mended by the committee headed by Dr. W. T. Foster, of Reed College, ap pointed by Mayor Albee last January to investigate commercialized amuse ment, will not work. Members of the board of censors united yesterday in the opinion that the system sounds good on paper, but would neither be practicable nor fair. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL RKPORT. PORTLAND, Sept. .

PRUNE ORDERS SLOW Early Trade Is Filled and De mand Is Lacking. NO EXPORT BUSINESS California 3Iarkct Is Firmer as Crop Is Drying Out Light and Run ning to Smaller Sizes East ern Buyers Skeptical. A little improvement Is reported in the California prune market, but the local sit uation shows no cnanse for the better, and the market at the present time Is very quiet. The Northwestern prune crop, according to packyg, is turning- out probably 15 t 20 per cent larger than was figured upon earlier in the season. The prices asked for Oregon-Washington prunes were higher than the California nriues. and for this reason the only outlet has been the fancy trade This trade is now supplied, and a surplu of prunes exists here notwithstanding the fact that the total Northwestern crop was considerably below normal. No Oregon prunes have been sold for export, as Cali fornia has also undersold Oregon In tha line of business. Dealers have now been compelled to seek for orders, whereas, her' tofore, the buyers came here. The California prunes are drying out mors than was expected, and are running smaller in size, and this is responsible fo the firmness of the Southern market. In commenting on the situation a New York trade report says: "Buyers here either do not accept the re ports corainjr 1 from California as well founded or believe themselves to be suf ficiently well protected on Fall and early Winter requirements to be in a position where they can afford to wait before placing orders for further supplies. The situation In Europe, they seem to think, is daily be coming more discouraging for export busi ness, and if the European consumption should be cut off even with a crop short as 90,000,000 pounds, as some esti mates make it, California being dependent on the home market could not maintain prices at their present level. "The present upward movement on the Coast Is attributed to the fact that the crop is drying out light and that short sellers are covering. Added to this Is the report that England is a buyer in the Coast mar ket, though how much truth there may be in that remains to be developed. Prices as now quoted f. o. b. Coast show a wide range as to seller, but those whose figures are the highest are confident that the mar net win be up to tnem, u it does not go higher." WHEAT MARKET FIRM AND HIGHER Red Fife Sells at 05 Cents on Exchange. Inquiry From East, Wheat markets took an upward turn yes terday. Local prices were from half i cent to 3 cents higher. Chicago advances ranged up to 3 cents and the Liverpool market closed 2d higher for spot and 2d higher for options. At the noon sesssion of the Merchants Exchange bids wcru raised sharply, but sellers also asked more money. For bluestem $1.12 was offered, a ris-j of 3 cents over th preceding day's price, but there were no sellers under $1.13. Forty-fold bids were 1 cent higher at 07 cents and club offers were raised half a cent to 96 cents, but no wheat was obtainable at these prices, Only on red fife could the buyers and sellers get together and 10,000 bushels changed hands at 95 cents, a cent advance over Wednesday's quotation. Other cereals were irregular In price mostly lower. Oats were quoted 25 cents cheaper at ?2S and barley was 50 to 7; cents lower in bid prices. The San Fran cisco barley market, on the other hand, was arm and higher. An important feature of the wheat situa tiou was the Eastern inquiry. The opinion prevails in some quarters that a consider able amount of Northwestern wheat will be shipped to the Atlantic seaboard via the canal and there trans-shipped to Europe. No business of this character has been worked yet, so far as known, Wheat farmers are sitting tight on their crops and unless they loosen up soon trading of all kinds may soon be brought to a stop. The growers have been letting go of their bluestem, but the other kinds of wheat are being held back, evidently for bluestem prices. There is reason to believe that the supply of bluestem no.w;Jeft In first hands is small. A wholesale grocer said yesterday: "The manager of one of the flour mills up the river has Instructed the jobber who ban dies his dour not to sell any more of It, as he cannot buy wheat. The Jobbing houses and the banks are carrying the trade in the wheat-growing sections, who, in turn, are carrying the farmers. It is up to the farmers, therefore, to sell enough wheat to pay their bills, so the country merchants can pay their bills due here and likewise give the mills enough wheat to grind." Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows : Wheat Barley Flour Oat Hay 8 Monday Tuesday -Wednesday Thursday Year aEO 02 7 11 28 95 103 59 4 5 6 11 224 280 11 13 7 8 4J3 402 19 18 13 254 144 12 6 1 260 440 . 116 Season to date.24o5 Year ago 160 FUGGLE Growers HOPS ARE IN DEMAND In Harrisburg Section Holding Firm for 20 Cents. Hopbuyers were in the Harrisburg sec tion yesterday endeavoring to buy fuggles. Growers are holding out firmly for 20 cents, and although buyers indicated they would pay close to this price no business was done. No future trading was reported in the contract market. The California hop market was In a strong position. New Sacramentos were held at 19 cents English market conditions, according to London dealers' reports, dated August 17 to It: Wild. Neame & Co. There is a fair in quiry for the few remaining lots of 1913 hops and values are maintained at their recetit improvement. Thornton & Manger There Is a good In quiry for small parcels of hops, and values are higher than those of last week. Manger A Henley There Is a good de mand for the few hops that are left and prices are very firm with a further harden ing tendency. W. H. & H. Le May In the mlddl of last week the demand had fallen off, but it was revived on Friday and Saturday when a few more lots passed out of growers' hands. Stocks now are in a very small compass. The Agricultural Department of the South African Union has for some time been making experiments in hop growing, and the South African breweries have of fered substantial prises for the first bag cf hops grown. Up to the present it has been found that the high veldt is not suit able for the purpose, but It Is stated that a good crop has been grown In the district of George, in the Cape Province. These are stated to be equal to Kent-grown heps. SMALL LOT OF PEACHES RECEIVED Demand for Grapes Is Increasing Two Cars Due Today. Receipts of peaches yesterday were the lightest of any day this week. There are indications that the movement of Elbertas is faliiaa oCC, and late Crawford will soon take their place. Stocks are cleaning up fairly well, although retailers' supplies generally are good. Prices were steady and unchanged. , Grapes are -coming to the front as the fruit market leader. Two cars are due to day, one of Malagas and one of Tokays. Prices are on a reasonable basis. Five cars of bananas were received dur ing the day. Larger Receipts of Poultry. The egg market was firm yesterdsy with out any further adyanee in price, though the tendency of values is upward. There were liberal receipts of poultry, and the market was inclined to be weak. Hens and Springs are now selling at about the same prices. More veal came in and prices were a shade lower at 1313fc cents. Pork was stesdy. Butter and cheese were firm at current quotations.
