RISES IN G1TY PAY
LOSE BY TIE VOTE
Fight Centers on Interpreta
tion of Cods Authorizing
Gradual Increases.
OFFICIALS MAKE $2000 CUT
With Auditor Barbur's Vote Gone, in
Xext Deliberation Over Salaries
Those Favoring Greater Re
muneration May Win.
A deadlock on the question of gen
eral increases in the salaries of city
employes resulted in victory for the
side opposing the increases, at the
meeting yesterday of the city budget
committee comprising the City Com
mission and City Auditor Barbur. The
vote was three (Albee, Dieck and
Brewster) for salary rises and three
(Biselow, Daly and Barbur) against
them. Mayor Albee ruliner that it took
a majority of the committee to adopt
the proposed increases, the tie vote
meant the failure of the increases.
It is probable, however, that the
question will take the opposite turn
when it comes before the City Council
for final adjustment, as the three offi
cials favoring increases will then be
in a majority. Auditor Barbur, who is
on the side of the three opposing in
creases, not having' a. vote in the
Council.
Code Meaning; Disputed.
The question of increases centers
about the wording of the city's effi
ciency code,- which was adopted at
the beginning of the year. The code
provides for increases every six months
until an employe reaches a fixed maxi
mum salary for his position. The em
ploye is required to maintain a satis
factory efficiency rating before being
entitled to the rise.
Commissioners Daly and Bigelow say
they do not think the increases are
automatic, but are to be made at the
discretion of the Commissioner in
charge of the department, while the
others say the salaries were cut at the
beginning of the efficiency system
with the understanding, implied at
least, that the employes who were cut
could get back to their original sal
aries by efficient service. They liken
it to holding up a prize for the em
ployes to struggle for and then pulling
the prize way when it is won.
Some Increase Allowed.
It became apparent at the budget
meeting yesterday that salary ln-
. creases are to be distributed only to a
selected few instead of generally to
employes who have sufficient standing
under the efficiency code. Eliminating
consideration of the efficiency code, the
committee allowed Chief Deputy City
Attorneys Tomlinson and Latourette
" increases from ?200 to fiib a montn
and Deputies Davies. Myers and Stad-
ter from J125 to $175 a month. These
were the salaries paid these positions
before the original cuts were made.
They allowed a small increase in the
salary of one stenographer ana turnea
down another.
The increases were won by City At
torney LaUoche after a word battle
with City Auditor Barbur.
. . "The city is a corporation dealing in
.millions." said, Mr. LaKOcne... wny
' ''should we have to pit a cheap- attor
ney against high-salaried men of other
corporations? In the Municipal ' Court
we are paying a man $125 a. month."
"I don't think any of them would
resign if they were not increased,"
said Mr. Barbur.
"You can't tell." said Mr. LaRoche.
"It isn't every day you can get an hon
est man to represent the city in the
Municipal Court for 12o a month. He's
apt to be taken by some other concern
because he is worth more than that
if he is able to handle the work at all."
In going through a long list of small
items for the park department the
budget committee made, no alterations.
The entire afternoon session brought
about trimming of the budget esti
mates less than $2000 a year. Another
session will be held this afternoon.

an irate farmer appeared and

NEW NEWSBOY ACT URGED
3Ir. Daly Wnnts Parents Instead of
Children Held Responsible.
Abolition of licenses ani badges for
newsboys is recommended by City Com
missioner Duly In an ordinance filed
yesterday with City Auditor Barbur for
presentation to the City Commission
at its regular session this morning-.
The measure is aimed to do away with
a measure passed by the old City Coun
cil at, the instigation of social workers
requiring? all newsboys to secure li
censes and wear badges. The ordinance
had as its purpose the keeping of boys
less than 10 years old out of the busi
ness and keeping boys less than 16
years old off the street before 6 A; M.
asrd after 8 P. AL
The ordinance presented by Com
missioner Daly prohibits any parent or
puardian from permitting any boy Jess
than 10 years old or girl less than 18
'years old from selling newspapers,
magazines, periodicals or publications
of any kind. The penalty for violation
Is a fine of $5 for each offense. Boys
less than 16 years old and birls of any
age are prohibited from selling before
6 A. M. and after 8 P. M. under the
Daly ordinance.
It is said by Commissioner Daly that
the present ordinance makes the child
responsible.

MANY SHIFTS RECOUNTED
SWAT COCKROACH IS CRY
War on Fly Will Be Turned to Klval
Pest During Winter.
TVith the close of the fly. season,
swatting will be directed toward the
cockroach. City Health Officer Mar
cellus announced yesterday that his
bureau will start a campaign at once
to encourage the killing of cock
roaches. They are declared to be as
bad if not worse distributers of disease
than the fly.
"The cockroach haunts places where
food is kept," says Dr. Marcellus. "It
creeps from apartment to apartment
and from house to house and gathers
disease germs. There is scarcely a
cover to a jar that fits tight enough
to exclude it. It revels in the cuspidor
as well as on the neck of the milk
bottle. The uncovered food in the re
frigerator is its delight. Cockroaches
may be readily sailed with arsenate of
lead with clabbered milk. This is
deadly poison to both insects and to
human beings, so the greatest care
should be used In putting It out."

If there is one thing above another
that makes the world kin and arouses
universal interest, it is good things
to eat. All women like to cook them
and all men like to eat them. Women
everywhere are . interested in new
recipes and new cookery methods, and
the best cooks are the most alert of
any to learn more about their favorite
art. Every woman who has ever heard
Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn, of Nashville,
Term., talk about cooking, or has seen
her cook, or has tasted the wonderful
foods prepared by her, is- enthusiastic
in her praise of this splendid cookery
teacher.
-Mrs. Vaughn is deeply interested in
good foods, and feels that, all women
should take an intelligent interest in
this subject. She believes they should
know which are the best products on
the market and should interest them
selves in seeing that pure food laws
are enforced. In this way -women may
work for better homes, not only for
themselves, but for the entire community.
The old Heilig Theater on Eleventh
street will seat several hundred worn
en, and its doors will be opened every
afternoon next, week except Saturday
to every woman in Portland who is
interested in good foods for her fam
ily.
Mrs. Vaughn will give a lecture on
subjects of interest to every - day
housekeepers every afternoon, and will
teach them the best and easiest and
most economical methods of preparing
wholesome and varied and appetizing
meals for their families.
The plan is to bring together all the
most .successful housekeepers of the
city, as well as those who are not
meeting with such success as - they
would like, and girls who are just be
ginning to be interested in huusekeep
ing methods.. Under the direction of
Mrs. Vaughn, who knows all about
cooking and housekeeping, and who
knows how to handle big crowds, the
most important household and .cookery
topics will be discussed. Mrs. Vaughn
is able to answer questions on every
phase of housekeeping and cooking,
and will make every session of the
home economic school a beneficial and
profitable one to every woman who attends.
IVIILWAUKIE STOP DENIED
Railroad CommfssioK Decides w
Station Is Out of Ktt Limit.
' MILWAUKIE, Or., Oct. 13.-4- fSpecial.)
At the meeting of the Milwaukie
Commercial Club last nigrht a commu
nication was received from the State
Kailroad Commission stating that the
commission had decided against the
petition for a second stop in Milwau
kie on Washington street by the Ore
gon City cars-. The reason set forth
is that Milwaukie had been granted a
5-cent fare to and from Portland, and
that the stop at Washington street
would be beyond the 5-cent fare limit.
John M. Snyder and G. C. Pelton,
candidates for the office of Mayor of
Milwaukie, appeared before the club
and explained their attitude on city
questions if elected.

Oregon Toga-Wearer Accused of In

Kecord Is Bared.
Senator Chamberlain, what have you
done in the last five and a half years
to earn your salary?"
This is the Question addressed to Ore
gon's senior Senator, now a candidate
for re-election, in an open letter writ
ten yesterday oy Russell Hawkins, of
Portland, who two years ago was active
in managing the campaign of Jonathan
.tsourne, Ja. for re-election to the
Senate.
In connection with this inouirv Mr.
Hawkins enumerates some of the things
iiihl otnaior cnamoerialn has not done
since he has been in office, charges him
with repeated failure to look after Ore
gon's interests in Congress, notably in
permitting the adoption of the amend
ment that allowed the millions of dol
lars obtained by the Government
through the sale of public land in Ore
gon to be expended in other states.
Change of Policy Noted.
The letter further accuses Senator
Chamberlain of inconsistency in his
manner of seeking election, willing at
tention to the fact that six years ago
when Mr. Bourne, a Republican, was
in the Senate, Mr. Chamberlain declared
that the two Senators should be .ot
opposite political parties, and that now,
when Harry Lane, a Democrat, is in
the Senate, Senator Chamberlain thinks
both Senators should be of the same
party.
Senator Chamberlain also is accused
of neglecting Oregon's irrigation inter
ests, of taking credit for originating
the Alaska railroad bill, when the meas
ure actually was prepared by Secretary
Lane, of the Interior Department; of
calling himself a "Roosevelt-Democrat"
one year and a "La Follette-Democrat"
at another time; of supporting Senator
Aldrich in imposing a 15 per cent duty
on iron ore, and of other acts unbecom
ing a United States Senator.
Letter Puts Questions.
The letter" in full Is:
BAY CITY, Or.. Oct. 13. George E. Cham
berlain, Esq. Dear Sir: You are asking the
people of Oregon to return you for another
six-year term to the United States Senate,
vuiKuy uecuuse you are needed to uphold the
policies of the present Democratic Admin
istration in addition td as much, or as lit
tle, of your record as a Senator as favors
your interest. i
Will you kindly enlighten the people by
explaining?
As a candidate for Senator during the Ad- i
ministration of President Roosevelt, whose '
policies were then very popular, you an- !
nounced yourself a "Roosevelt Democrat."
This, of course, was to get votes and was a
change from 'your former candidacy for
Governor, when you were strictly a "non
partisan." However, during your campaign
of 1908 you told the people of Oregon re
peatedly that more benefits could be se
cured for our state from the general Gov
ernment by having the Senators of different
political faith, as one could receive con
cessions from the minority party while the
otner is getting in bis work with his col
leagues of his own party.
Has your opinion changed? Was it truth
then and false now ?
Irrigation Talk Awakened.
In Eastern Oregon, during the camoairn I
of 1908 you laid great stress upon your
a unity to ootain xunus zor irrigation devel
opment and you promised much.
What, if anything, have you done to ful- :
nil those promises ?
During the Summer of 1900, when the
Senate committee on Irrigation, of which
you were a member, visited and inspected
Irrigation projects throughout the West, you
accompanied the committee until you
reached Oregon and remained with them
only while they were in Portland.
What was your reason for not visiting the
Umatilla project and about a month later,
when the committee re-entered Oregon from
California, why were you not present to
prevent the farcical hearing thVt was ac
corded one or two of the Klamath people,
a large number of complainants being re
fused a hearing?
When you, who promised the people to
do so much to promote irrigation, entered
the Senate there was approximately $9,000,
000 credited to the-frp nation fund of Ore
gon, of which approximately $4,100,000 had
been expended. The law was to the effect
that the money "raised within a state was
to be ox pen (Led within that state.
While Senator Bourne was absent and
you, under the custom, were supposed to
safeguard the Interest of the people of Ore
gon, did not Senator Lodge's committee re
port an amendment to a pending bill pro
viding that all money in the reclamation
fund could bo expended at the discretion
of the Reclamation .Bureau, irrespective of
the state In which the money was raised?
That committee report was adopted without
a word of protest from you.
Why?
It took from Oregon projects,, approxi
mately the sum of $o, 500.OO0, which has
since been expended in Wyoming and Idaho.
You made no protest. Why?
Upon your next return to Oregon did you
not say on several occasions that you had
asked Senator Lodge if there was anything
in the report which affected Oregon ? Is
it your habit to ask committee chairmen
who are about to submit a report if there
is anything In their recommendations that
affects the interests of Oregon?
Have you heard of Senator Lodge's reply
when he was asked if you: had made such
an unusual Inquiry of him? .
Admitted Negligence Recalled.
Did you not admit on at least two occa
sions when asked about this negligence of
yours that you did not know about It until
after "they had put it over on me," and
that you were either downstairs in the cafe
or engrossed at your desk in other matters
or thoughts when the report was read and
the amendment which crippled Oregon's
Irrigation projects was adopted?
If you were paying an agent $7500 a year
plus about $1200 a year mileage and he
went to sleep on the Job, was negligent or
incompetent, would you retain him? Could
you object if the people of Oregon have
come to feel that, in order to maintain
your unbroken record of many years of
drawing s salary from the people as a pro
fessional oft Ice holder, it is too costly to
their interests to return you to your fat Job?
In a newspaper defense you attempted to
shift the blame of the state's great loss
upon the shoulders of Congressman Hawley,
when you knew tbat the bill with tho losing
amendment went directly from the Senate
Chamber to the conference committee of
the Senate and House, and that Mr. Hawley
was never in a position where he could re
gain what your negligence lost.
Alaska Details Asked About.
Tour admirers shout loudly your praise
for the enactment of the Alaska Government
railway bill. You, with becoming modesty,
assumed whatever glory attaches. Are you
the author of the bill, a collaborator with
Representative Wickersham, of Alaska, and
Secretary of the Interior Lane, .or was the
bill simply given to you as a Northwestern
Senator for presentation, in preference to
Senator Jones, of Washington, because you
had announced yourself finally as a "Wil
son Democrat" and was ostensibly a mem
ber of the majority party?
There were apparently no correspondents
in the press gallery of the United States
Senate during the time that you delivered
yourself of the "famous" speech that was
expunged from the record In its entirety.
Thus the people were denied the pleasure of
reading your words of wisdom.
Please tell us about it and whether It
was Senator Lewis or some other Senator
that led you from the Chamber. We have
a right to Be curious, for are you not a
servant of the "dear peepul" and an agent
of the State of Oregon? ,

Forced to Face Trial.
Further time was asked yesterday
morning of Judge McGinn by V. A.
Carter, counsel for A- Wolfman, charged
with arson, when the case was called

Judge McGinn denied the motion and
directed that the defendant and his
counsel coma Into the court in the
afternoon prepared to proceed with the
drawing of the Jury. This was begun
yesterday and will be completed to
day, when the state will proceed with
Its witnesses against Wolfman.
