18 THE MORyOG . OREGOyiAX. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1914. t V Exclusive Agents for Warner, Redfern, Mme. Irene, Successo, American Lady and Mme. Lyra Corsets SALARY INCREASE BUDGET PROBLEM Council Divided on Question of " Following Efficiency Code's Requirements. MAYOR WOULD KEEP FAITH Deadlock Iteaclicd When Mr. Brew ster Asks for $25 Kise for Sec retary Only Heavy Trim Is In Market Estimate. Salary increases for city employes is to be one of the principal points of contention by the City Council aurins consideration of the budget of expenses fnr- the various departments for 1916 This was apparent yesterday when the Council had the budget prepared by Commissioner Bigelow under discus Inn. Mr. Bigelow recommended no salary increases In spite of the fact that the efficiency code under which all em ployes are working provides for raises as a reward for meritorious service during the past year. The coae which was adooted the first or tnis year pro vide3 an. increase of from $5 to 110 each six months for each employe hav lng no demerit marks until .the maxi mum salary for the position is reached. There are many employes in various. departments who are entitled to in creases under the code, but who are not recommended for increases. Many of these employes had their salaries cut from 15 to $25 a month when the code was adopted, with the understanding that they would be increased as their efficiency ratings warranted. Mayor Would Keep Faith. When the budget committee took up the question of salaries in Mr. Bige low's department Mayor Albee declared that he believed the employes who have maintained the required ratings should tret the rises or reward. "I think when the city made an agreement with the employes to raise them if they main tained an efficient standing. It should be good for Its word," said Mayor Albee. City Auditor Barbur, who Is a mem ber of the budget committee, declared that he would vote against increasing the salary of any employe who is get ting 9100 a month or better excepting under unusual conditions. Other mem bers of the committee favored in creases, but not for all employes who are entitled to it under the efficiency code. Mayor Albee has recommended Increases for all In his department who have sufficient ratings. The question of the standing of the efficiency code was not settled yester day. It is expected, however, that be for the budget revision is completed some one of the Commissioners will have Introduced an ordinance doing away with the system. Ueadloclc Is Encountered. - Increases of the salaries of Individ uals In the service not rated under the efficiency code caused some little trou ble yesterday. . Commissioner Brewster recommended an Increase of 25 a month for his private secretary. Miss Margaret White. Auditor Barbur and Commissioners Daly and Bigelow op posed it, while Mayor Albee and Com missioners Brewster and Dieck favored the increase. This made a deadlock and the question was passed along unsettled. In considering the budget yesterday the Commlslon cut out a number of small items. The largest cut was in the public market estimate in which a proposed appropriation for "construc tion" amounting to 6000 was cut down to (1600. Cuts at yesterday's session of ths committee aggregated less than $3000. At a meeting today a number of special appropriations will be con sidered and some deep cuts are ex-peoted. NEW ZEALAND AIDS BRITAIN Visitor In Portland Says Volunteers Arp Picked. New Zealand is responding to the call for aid from the mother country, so many "volunteers having offered themselves that the officers are able to "pick" their men, according to C. L. Bradley, of Christ Church, who is in Portland with Mrs. Bradley at Hotel Perkins while attending to the settle ment of an estate near Walla Walla. The spirit of patriotism is every where seen In New Zealand, says Sir. Bradley, who declares that large sums are being raised for the support of Great Britain. He told of a little lad in Christ Church who offered all he had, a pet lamb, to be auctioned for the war fund. The lamb brought 100 pounds, and then was returned to the little fellow by the purchaser. German trade, which' has- been a great factor of late years, has been boycotted in New Zealand, asserts Mr. Bradley. Yet he believes there is lit tle antagonism felt in New Zealand to ward the German people. Food prices remain the same as they were before the war. says Mr. Bradley, , for imme diately upon its declaration the terri torial government sent out a strict warning to shopkeepers not to raise the prices on their wares. REFUSE DUMPED IN GULCH forty Tons of Garbage Disposed Of Under Mr. Daly's, Plan. Dumping of garbage in Marquam Gulch In accordance with the new sys tem arranged by City Commissioner Daly was started yesterday. Twenty eight wagons dumped about 40 tons of garbage in the gulch. This was sprayed with carbolic acid and will be covered with dirt. Scrapers were put to work covering the refuse when the dumping was finished. A large chute has been constructed from the edge of Terwilliger boule vard, about 1000 feet south of the south end of Sixth street, and the wagons dump directly into this. The garbage shoots down this a distance of so feet into the bottom of the gulch. The diverting of the 40 tons of gar bage to the gulch resulted in a big re duction of the amount of garbage con sumed at the incinerator. For the first time In many months the incinerator was operated below Its full capacity. LECTURE ON BURMA HEARD James Irving Crabbe" Speaks- for Rationalist Society. "Burma, Its People and Religion. was the subject chosen by James Irv ing Crabbe for his lecture in room A of the Public Library Sunday night, un der the auspices of the Portland Ration alist Society. The lecture was attended by about 100. Professor Crabbe spoke or the topography --of Burma, of the quaint, lazy little Burmese people, their clothes, food, education, religion, their marriage and divorce pacts. He also told of the many kinds . of animals which pester the people and of the ani mals that help them. The elephant. Professor Crabbe said, ran ..the saw mills, and was -used in' the place of automobiles, omnibuses and nursegirls. "While the Burmese people do not worship Buddah, they live up to, so far as possible, the code of morals which he laid down," he said. "The Buddhist religion consists of ten com mandments, the first of which is "Thou shalt not kill any living thing." Budd hists do not believe in bloodshed, and never go to war. " Their -meat foods are not eaten until the animal dies . a 'natural' death. "Another of the Commanrlmentn in jThou shalt not-lie,' and still another. 'Thou shalt not drink intoxicating liquors,' ' Professor Crabbe suKsrested 'that the commandments prohibiting lying and Muor oe aoaed to the Christians' com mandments when thev are revise The meeting was presided over by uinuiL secretary or tn Ration alist Society. Colonel C. K. S. Wood is president, and Dr. C H. Chapman is vice-president. KITTY FRANCIS AMUSES STAR COMUOIEXXG AT EMPRESS AXD DOZEJI GIKS ARE GAY. Headline Is Likened to Marie Lloyd as Entertainer Other Acta ol Merry Show Win Laughs. Kitty Francis is a plump edi tion of Marie Lloyd In so far as voice and figure -are- concerned, and' her wit. and humor, manufactured right on the spot, headline the Marcus Loew Lmpress bill - riotously well. Kitty appears aa Mrs. OMalley, who has social longings and plebeian likings fane has a recaption at -he.- home ana her son, knowing that none of the in vited Vanderbilts, Stuyvesant Fishes and Goulds would turn up, asks a dozen suffragettes to pose as guests at the party. Mrs. OMalley, gowned In Irish green with an ornate red tunic, re ceives her guests in great style. She picks a row with, one because sae wears an orange - gown, and makes gentle references to the ancestry of her aristocratic guests. The girls, a dozen it seems, wear smart frocks and have an ensemble dance that is a beautiful Virginia reel. They "crack the whip" as a finale, with Kitty almost falling over her own short length as she brings lin t hn Anrt of the long winding chain. Truly Kitty i a. pieaaing comedienne. A duo' of entertainers who eclipse anything In their line we've had lately is the Calts brothers Joe. . full size, and Lew, a midget. Both are wizardR in rapid-fire: terpsichore. and are the jasi cry in sartorial perfection. They have one specialty in which , their figures and feet blend so perfectly that it seems as if only one -man is dancing. An act that brings a lot of lausrhs is presented by Jessie Morris, shapely and . ami jacK Jeasiey. . They hang their patter on a manicure shop.' with songs and dances to enliven things. Beasley's exclamatory references to th deity might be omitted. J. Alfred Wilson and John E. Wilson are negro comedians, who sing excep tionally well and' should offer more vocal numbers and not. so much mo notonous foolery in their act. One of the twain gives, a darkey minister imi tation" that provokes merriment. Oddone, accordionist, has a novelty offering made - by attaching a set of electric bells to his accordion. The ef fect is delightful and since Oddone plays well, the act goes nicely. Opening the bill is a corking good acrobatic display on bicycles by Billy Montrose and Blossom Svdell. who also sing and dance well. Montrose somer saults from the ground through a hoop, skips rope lying down and both , pre ent amazing tricks on the wheel.

The speaker denied the reports of alleged German attroci ties. ! "The reports that the Germans were no treating Americans as neutral visitors were absolutely false," he told his listeners last night, "for I .was in Germany when the war broke out and until I left there I received tha best of treatment, as did the other Americans who .did not take sides openly against Germany. Even these were treated fairly. Why. the Germans -even took np a subscription of several thousand dollars to aid Americans in need of. as sistance."
