Voring Woman Who Saw Guy Mc
Elroy Jimp Into Bay Kbw Mrs.
McElroy and Couple Are to
Receive Award of $10(10.
Guy McElroy, 65 Everett etreet,
Portland, Jumped Into San Francisco
Bay, In July, 1913, and rescued Miss
Carrie Brunne, of Petaluma, Cal., the
13th member of a yachting party, who
liad been swept overboard by a wing
ing boom.
The net result was Mr.' McElroy. who
Is not 26 years old, won a bride, a
Carnegie hero medal and $1000 from
the Carnesio hero fund.
The bride was not Miss Brunne, the
rescued girl, but Miss Hazel Warren,
of Berkeley. Cal., a member of the
yachting party, and last August Mr.
McElroy brought her to Portland, the
wedding having taken place a short
time before.
The news of the award of the madal
and the $1000 has just been received
by Mr. McElroy.
Mr. McElroy is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. McElroy, of Berkeley, where
be was living at the time of the rescue.
Since coming" to Portland Mr. McElroy
has been Identified with the shipping
department of the Gerlinger Motor Car
Company.
The accident in San Francisco Bay
occurred during a pleasure cruise, ac
cording to Mr. McElroy. They were
skimming along when Miss Brunne was
hurled into the water and a sudden
gust of wind shot the yacht far from
the spot.
At that point Mrs. McElroy, the
young bride, took up the story of de
tails and It is recorded that Mr. Mc
Elroy In an instant jumped from the
yacht and swam to Miss Brunne. For a
quarter of an hour he held her head
above water until his brother, Chester
McElrov. reached them in a. rowbntt.
i
Thrills Added to Romance.
Mr. ond Mrs. McElroy are modest in
discussing the details, but neither de
nies that the episode added a few thrills
to their romance.
"Well, what would you think under
the circumstances?" was Mrs. McEl
roy's subtle remark last night.
. "Aw, I can't exactly say as to that,
but I guesB we were engaged before
It happened," was Mr. McElroy's
evasive answer.
"As for the rescue there's not much
to say," eventually added Mr. McElroy.
"1 hardly knew what I was doing when
1 lumped after the girl, 1 saw the fors'i
boom swinging dangerously and stepped
out of the - way. Two girls were
struck, but only Carrie Brunne was
thrown Into the water. Though scarce
ly conscious of what I was doing, 1
dumped after her and was in the water
only a few seconds after she went un
der for the first time. ,
Girl Held by Throat.
: "Before I could reach her, she had
Kohe down' a' second time, for she knew
nothing of swimming. I reached her
then, but she fought wildly and . put
both our lives in danger. I remember
of. finally holding her head above wa
ter by grasping her by her throat.
"By this time my brother had climbed
Into the small boat attached to tlie
yacht and was rowing toward me. The
wind was high and the waves choppy
It was with difficulty 1 kept afloat,
for the girl was heavily dressed and
her water-soaked clothing doubled her
weight When my brother reached us,
Hhe was unconscious and I was dog
tired. It took us some time to get
back to the yacht, for It had been trav
eling about 12 miles an hour, and
when my brother left there was no one
on the boat that could steer or knew
anything about the handling of a
yacht
Girl la Revived.
"By the time we reacbed the yacht
my brother and I had succeeded In
reviving the girl, who felt no Ill
effects afterward from her Immersion.
On reaching the boat, 1 slipped down
In a corner and slept until we
reached shore.
The party was returning from a
pleasure cruise and It was late In the
afternoon.
McElroy la under medium height but
is a good swimmer.
The Carnegie Fund officers will tell
McElroy how he is to use the money
awarded him, and he expects and hopes
that It will be available as the first
payment for a. house and lot in Portland.
litlcal purposes In making these ap
pointments, it is a significant fact that
Mr. Bilyeu is a prominent member of
the Jackson Club and treasurer of the
Democratic State Committee, while Mr.
Evans is a brother-in-law of Claude
McCullough. who managed Dr. Smith's
campaign for Governor.
Heads Lopped Off.
No sooner had the new board organ
ized than an apparently inspired de
mand for certain changes in the heads
of departments became manifest
W. L. Finley was removed from the
office of State Game Warden a posi
tion for which he is peculiarly fitted on
account of his close and scientific study
of all kinds of game animals.. C. H
Evans, one of Governor West's newly
appointed commisssloners. was named
Mr. Finley's successor. Mr. Finley was
given a minor position at the head of
the "educational and biological" de
partment at a reduced salary.
Mr. Clanton likewise was forced out
of the fish wardenship and placed In
charge of the fish hatcheries of the
state a job created on the spot Theo
dore Ospund. who had been a clerk
and stenographer In Mr. Clanton's of
fice, was made master fish warden.
Maay Deputies Chaasred.
Meanwhile many of the deputy game
wardens out In the state were removed'
and replaced with persons believed to
be more acceptable to the West ma
chine. Some of the old deputies who
were understood to be favorable to the
Governor's political plans wero re
tained. Others who could not be re
moved for cause and who refused to
line up with the administration were

EAST SIDE T0GET STREET
Morrison to Be Opened, 60 Feet
W'ide, From 20th to i?6th.
East Morrison street is to be opened
from East Twentieth to East Twenty
sixth streets 60 feet wide under pro
ceedings started November 11. There
is a 30-foot right-of-way occupied by
the tracks of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company and another
30-foot strip where the street will be
. extended, and by putting both to
gether the 60-foot-wlde extension will
be secured.
The extension starts at Garrison's
find - ends at Hanson's Addition. Lone
Kir Cemetery bounds the extension on
the north and Tilton's Addition on the
south. There has been much agitation
to get East Morrison street opened
between East Twentietn and East
Twenty-sixth, and Commisaloner'niBe
low has urged the opening for several
years in order -to give East Morrison
street an outlet Later the street
probably will be continued to a con
nection with Belmont along the right-of-way
of the Portland Railway, Light

kept in office against the executive's
will.
It was necessary for Mr. Evans, in
order to accept the Game Wardenship,
to resign as a member of the commis
sion. For a while the place was held
vacant, but when the Governor named
a successor it was B. E. Duncan, one
of the old members who had resigned.
This gave color to the report circu
lated at the time the trio of resigna
tions was handed to the Governor that
in time all the old members would be
returned to office and pear out predic
tions by The Oregonian.
Old Board IVrarly Restored.
Things went along In this fashion
until about five weeks ago, when H. H.
Clifford resigned. He was appointed
to a place in the state insurance de
partment. C. F. Stone, another of the
original commissioners, was named to
succeed him. , i
Frank Hughes now is the only one
of the original commissioners not yet
restored to office.
Although Governor "West explained
all these changes at the time that they
were made on the grounds of economy.
it is a matter of fact that the Fish ano
Game Commission has cost the state
more money under the new organisa
tion than under .the old. This is ap
parent from the fact that instead of
two departments the new plan -provided
for four.
Some members of the commission are
of the opinion that the removals of
Mr. Finley and Mr. Clanton last Feb
ruary were not legal. They were not
formally discharged, nor did they re
sign. Their successors simply were
named and they were given other positions.

no attempt to interfere with the com
mission's action.
The last eight months have furnished
a series of interesting developments 1;
the Internal affairs of the commission,
of which yesterday's proceedings
proved an unexpected culmination.
The first sensation was sprung along
In' February when Frank Hughes, of
Salem; C. F. Stone, of Klamath Falls,
and B. E. Duncan, of Hood River, re
signed from the board. Their places
were promptly filled by the Governor,
who appointed Floyd Bilyeu, of Port
land: H. H. Clifford, of Baker, and C.
J I. Evans, of Lostine. M. J. Kinney
and George H. Kelly were the only
members who did not resign. Mr. Kin
ney had been appointed by the Gov
ernor, but Mr. Kelly, as the law pro
vides, had been elected by the four
other members.
While the Governor always has In
sisted that he was not actuated by po-
Serlea or Talks Oresoa Industries
Begin With Lecture on Honey
by Mr. Faachlng.
' H. A. Darnall presented the need of
a new high school building in the
Southeast Side to house the Franklin
High School. Mrs. G. L. Buland told
of the efforts in progress to secure
the site for a new home for the Haw
thorne Grammar School, and S. J.
Fasching, of the Pacific Honey Com
pany, delivered an address on the 'pro
duction and quality of honey yester
day at the luncheon of the East Side
Business Men's Club at the Hotel Ed
wards. Mr. Darnall pointed 'out that more
than 10J high school students In the
Southeast Side .are attending the Lin
coln High School and 200 are at the
Franklin High School, which at pres
ent is housed at the Creston and South
Mount Tabor buildings. A new high
school, he said, will relieve the Lin
coln and Washington High schools
and take care of the 12 buildings in
the Southeast Side.
Mr. Darnall asked the co-operation
of the East Side Business Men's Club
and invited the club to send represen
tatives to the mass meeting to be held
at the Creston building tonight. The
invitation was accepted.
Mrs. Buland, representing the Haw
thorne Parent-Teachers' Association,
told of the efforts being made to se
cure a site for a new building for the
Hawthorne School. Mrs. . Buland in
vited the club to send delegates to a
masi meeting which will be held in the
East Side Branch Library. East Alder
and East Eleventh streets, in the in
terest of this movement.
Mr. Fasching was the first speaker in
the series of talks the club has ar
ranged on Oregon Industries, his sub
ject being, "Honey, Get tho Best or
You Will Be Stung." He said that pure
honey in this state comes from clover,
alfalfa and fireweed and is a growing
industry. He explained the difference
between strained and extracted honey,
and ridiculed the prevailing notion that
honey in the comb can b manufac
tured, declaring only the bee can make
honey in the comb.
effort may be made by Commissioner
Brewster to have the Council at its
regular meeting tomorrow fix the levy
at 7.4 mills. This will mean that in
spite of the fact that the budget re
quires a tax of 7:5 mills or $3,224,000.
a levy will be fixed which will raise
1 30. 000 less than that amount, thus
requiring the cutting of estimates by
individual members of the Council.
Ordinarily the Council fixes the tax
levy at the same time it adopts the
budget. The action of yesterday of
adopting the budget and not fixing the
levy is without precedent. Should tho
Council now cut the levy arbitrarily
it is contended that it would be an
acknowledgment that it had not
trimmed the budget of proposed ex
penditures aa extensively as possible.
Committee Urges Pruning.
A committee headed by J. N. Teal
and C. W. Hodson, of the Taxpayers'
League, and George Mason, of the Non
partisan League appeared before the
Council yesterday and urged further
trimming of the budget and levy. Ob
jections were made to the proposed ex
penditure or 30, ooo ror a new fire
station on Fourth street between Yam
hill and Morrison streets, to the pur
chase of an aerial truck for the fire
bureau for $12,500 and to expenditures
proposed for sewer- and street main
tenance and repair.
Mr. Teal declared that conditions
are such that the taxpayer is over
burdened and that all possible public
improvements should be postponed for
the present. Mayor Albee declared that
the new Are machine and the replacing
of the headquarters fire station with a
new building are necessary improve
ments.. Commissioner Djeck contended
that with the Increase in mileage of
hard-surface streets and of sewers the
cost of repairs and maintenance in
crease necessarily.
Budget Committee Complimented.
Mr. Teal said '-fee was greatly
pleased over the efforts of the .Com
mission to hold 'the city budget down
to bedrock. He said the fact that the
Taxpayers' League had found objection
to only three items in the budget
should be taken as a compliment.
It was declared by Mayor Albee that
the cost of conducting the city gov
ernment In 1915 will be far less than
the amount used for the present year.
The budget for this year was 7.7 mills
and on top of this abou.t 1340,000 was
received from liquor licenses. For 1915
the budget has been trimmed so far
to 7.5 mills or $60,000 less than the
amount raised for 1914. In addition
to this the city will lose at least
$180,000 in saloon license revenue. Al
though this revenue will- be lost and
will have to be made up by the tax
payers, the Council has cut the budget
below what It was for this year when
the eaiooc revenue was received in full.
In all, tho City will cost $240,
000 less in 1915 than the cost for
the present year and about the same
amount less than the cost in 1913. Of
the total amount of the budget $636,511
Is for fixed charges such as the re
demption and interest on outstanding
bonds.

"ST. ELMO" DUE AT HEILIG
Film or "Widely Read Story to Be
Shown Thursday.
Lovers of photoplays will have an
exceptional opportunity of seeing the
fascinating and widely-read story of
"St Elmo" In motion pictures at the
Heilig Theater for five days and nights,
beginning next Thursday. .Arrange
ments were completed yesterday by
Mr. W. T. Norton to produce 4hese
interesting films which hove been
among the most-talked-about pictures
ever exhibited on the Pacific Coast.
The story of "St Elmo" is one of
great interest. "St Elmo" is the eon
of Mrs. Murray, a rich and Influential
widow. He is a close friend of Murray
Hammond, son of the vintage parson.
They are inseparable until they fall in
love with the same girl. She loves
Hammond, but accepts "St. Elmo" on
account of his great wealth and social
position. After the' betrothal banquet
!'St Elmo" finds his intended wife in
the arms of Murray. There is a ter
rific quarrel and a . duel follows in
which Murray falls dead at tho first
shot. "St. Elmo's" entire nature is
changed. He becomes an enemy of his
fellow men and wanders for 29 vears
practically an outcast. A vision of
Christ appears to "St. Elmo.", and his
hatred is softened. He devotes his en
tire life to the sick and afflicted.

which had caught them in the act of
coaling the. German cruiser Karlsruhe,
