TTIE MORXTXG OREGOXIAN, ttVT:staT. NOVE3nVRIl 23. 1914. 15 TAXPAYERS- VOTE TO AID DIRECTORS 5-Mill School "Levy Wins Ma jority Approval in Ar mory Meeting. TWO MOTIONS PRESENTED Ir. E. A. Sommer's Report for 4.8 Mills Rejected Assessment for Coming- Year Means Help to Franklin School Unit. Continued From First Page.) port," he said, "excepting the tax levy. I am in favor of a 4.8-mill levy instead of a 6 -mill levy. We can wait with the sites for the Hawthorne School site and the trades school site. I am not in favor of acquiring: those properties un til we are ready to build upon them." Salaries ot Affected. Dr. Summer declared that he recently heard reports that the 4.8-mill levy would reduce salaries of teachers, and emphatically asserted that the salary of not a single employe of the Board will be affected by the lower levy. He pointedt)Ut that the Board al ready has a trade school site on the "West Side and declared that this should be utilized or disposed of before an additional site is acquired. He re ferred to the site on Market street, be tween Sixth street and Broadway. He appealed to the taxpayers not to support the plans of the Board to "speculate In real estate," as he char acterized the plans of the Board to ac quire property and hold it idle for a year. Mrs. Sarah II. Wilder created some excitement for a few minutes by mak ing a motion for a 45-mill tax. There was no second to tha motion. "Let's make it 3 mills," shouted some one back in the crowd in an evident attempt to be sarcastic. Dr. Smith, one of the directors, moved toward the front of the platform, but Chairman Munly interrupted him. "This isn't a directors' meeting," said the chairman. "It is your meeting," but he could proceed no farther. There was much rumbling and mur muring in the audience and repeated cries for Mr. Smitn. - Dr. Smith Takes Floor. Mr. Munly smiled and bowed and mo tioned for Dr. Smith to come forward. "I'm never afraid to come before any body of people and support my action as a public official," said Dr. Smith. He explained how the Board has la bored to eliminate expenses, and de fended In every detail the proposed D mill levy. He declared the property now being considered as a trades school site previously had been offered to the Board for $125,000 and that later the owners the Anglo-Pacific Realty Com pany had agreed to accept $100,000. The Board recently offered J90.000 for the site, which is at East First, Adams, Multnomah and Hassalo streets, cover ing two full blocks. Dr. Smith reviewed the work of the Board and told of the time and effort that the members put to the work of the district without remuneration. "Can you tell me." he asked, "why we would come here and ask for this levy if we, after careful consideration, did not think it was the best thing for the community?" Mingled cries of approval and dls . approval came from the crowd, buf above the tumult the familiar voice of J. E. "Werlein rang out with: "You're all right. Smith!" Mr. Werlein was one of the leaders of a large delegation of persons living in the Hawthorne school district who were there to support the Board. Dr. iSmith concluded with an appeal to the people to support the Board In Its efforts to conduct the schools wise ly and. economically. The applause that followed him showed, clearly that sentiment favored the Board's programme. ' Cries of "Question," "Question," again came from all parts of the hall as W. L. Boise took the platform. Mr. Boise met the uproar undismayed. He proceeded with his speech and soon had the attention of everyone. Change of Plan Hoped For, "In the first place." he declared, "there are not one-tenth of the people here tonight who are entitled, to vote. "As taxpayers we ought to uphold the hands of the Board. I hope, though, that this ...will, be the last meeting of this kind. The-next "Legislature ought to pass a law giving the Board the power to fix the levy." He explained that the difference be tween the two reports is only two tenths of 1 mill, which will be a dif ference of only 20 cents for every f 1000 of assessed valuation of property. "Now I don't believe in giving the Board a single dollar more than It is asking for," he continued, "but I don't believe in taking a dollar away from it. "I for one believe in upholdiug the hands of the 'Board and telling the members that we appreciate the work they are doing for the community." Woman's Motion Loses. Mrs. Wilder again gained the at tention of the- chair and mounted the platform to renew her previous motion for a 4.5-mill levy. The motion was declared out of order. At this point Chairman Munly re buked Dr. Sommer for his earlier ref erence -,to the Board's "speculating In real estate." and -declared such lan guage "unworthy a brother member." In spite of efforts of various persons to gain the floor, Mr. Munly put the substitute motion for a 4.8-mill levy. The response of "ayes" and "noes" was equally deafening. He then called for a standing vote. Tellers counted the vote by sections. A poll showed 478 persons voting for the 4.8-mill levy. The volume of voters opposed to the 4.8-mill levy was so great that the chairman Instructed the tellers not to proceed with the count and declared the motion lost. He then put the original motion of Mr. Boise for a 5-mill levy. Although the "noes" prolonged their vocal efforts, the chairman decided the motion carried on the vive voce vote. Adjournment Is Delayed. . Immediately after Judge Munly had declared the motion carried, Chester V. Dolph jumped to his feet with a motion that the meeting adjourn. J. N. Teal objected to adjournment on the ground that there was other busi ness to transact. He was cut short, however, by Chairman Munly, who de clared that the motion to adjourn was undebatable. At this juncture there was a demand that Mr. Dolph withdraw his motion, which he did at the request of Mr Teal. Then Mr. Teal moved that tie chairman reappoint the usual auditing committee to Berve for the ensuing year. After a second by J. E. Werlein the motion carried by a large vote and Chairman Munly accordingly renamed L. D. Fleming, J. B. Tanner and C. F. Wiegand as the official auditing com mittee. Then at 9:15 o'clock the chair man put the motion to adjourn and it carried without apparent opposition. The taxpayers bad been in session exactly one hour and 15 minutes. All But Dr. Sommers Sign. The following report was made by the directors and signed by all Board members except Dr. Sommer: Ladies and Gentlemen For your informa tion and guidance, the School Board of Dis trict No. l, herein submits to you a brief summary of what has been accomplished during the past year, together with Its recommendations for a tax levy for school needs for the year of 1915. Ontlays. It has been found necessary during 3914 to purchase & numbor of sites for new schools and to enlarge areas around exist ing school buildings, partly through direct purchase and partly, through condemnation proceedings. There is need of new and additional grounds at Alameda, Albina Homestead. Arleta, Beaumont, Brooklyn, Chapman, Clin ton Kelly, Eliot, Hawthorne, Uolman. Rich mond, Trades and Woodlawn. It is not, pos sible for all these needs to be satisfied dur- AT'TO DEALER ELECTED PRESIDENT OF PORTLAND GOLF CLUB. H. I Keata. At the annual election of the Portland Golf Club, held yes terday at the Oregon Hotel. H. L. KLeats, well-known Portland auto dealer, was elected presi dent. Mr. Keats Is a pioneer auto man of Portland and a golf en thusiast. TL H. Baldwin was re elected vice-president; I. P. E. Reynolds was re-elected treas urer and H. E. Pearce was chosen . as the new secretary. Ing the coming year, and the board has placed In the budget only sufficient amount to take care of those which are absolutely necessary. Four new elementary building's and one addition have been contracted, and two new manual training and domestic science build, ings have been constructed. There has been a large amount of work done during the past year in repairs and betterments. Humidifiers, electrical lights, additional toilets and ventilating fans nave been installed. Fire Problem and Safety. On Invitation of the School Board, Fire Chief Do well, Deputy Fire Marshal Roberts and Building Inspector Plummer made a careful inspection of all the school buildings Jn tne district and offered some recom mendations for better fire protection, all of which have been favorably acted upon by the board. All permanent huildlngs are now fully equipped with fire-fighting appa ratus. Fire alarm boxes have been, or are being placed by city authorities, near all the school buildings. Fire drills have been made one of the important features In the various schools and principals are require to hold Buch drills once each week. Pupils have been especially Instructed how to act in case of fire, how to handle lines of hose., how to get out of buildings in case of fire and how to turn In fire alarms. Fire sig nals and drills have been revised and simpli fied. Inspection of all machinery in the schools has been made and all precautions have been followed carefully In the interest of absolute safety. Bonds. During the year $94,000 in refunding bonds were redeemed, reducing the bonded Indebtedness of the district to 760,000. To provide a fund for the redemption of bonds, the board has. for each of the past several years, set aside a certain sum of money. There is now in this fund, practically $55, 000, which is drawing 4 per cent interest. We have included in the budget the usual item of $50,000 to be devoted to the re demption of bonded obligations. The com ing year $0000 of bonds which we fell heir to when Lents School District was voted In, will have to be redeemed, provision for which is made in the budget. School Gardens. School gardens have been Incorporated In the curriculum within the last year. During the Spring terms of school there were 4i gardens cultivated by the pupils at com paratively small cost. The result of the test was very satisfactory as to the use fulness of this line of work. It is the purpose of the board to continue the same. Evening Schools. Evening schools have become one of the large problems of the district. During the past few years they have grown rapidly until at the present time they embrace all branches of school, work. Including high, elementary and commercial schools, schools of trades and classes for foreigners. This Winter the board has opened them in such buildings throughout the district as would best serve the several communities. The total registration during the first month of the present term was 2762, occasioning the employment of 114 teachers. Credits are given pupils equal to one-third of the credits for regular work in the day schools. Vacation Schools.' - To meet the demands for vacation schools which were first established rhree years ago, on a small scale, the board during the past year Inaugurated a plan for maintaining these schools on a more extensive and prac tical scale, and 15 elementary and one high school, and the schools of trades for bc.ti boys and girls, were opened. Also : manual training and sewing classes were organized.' The total registration of pupils in the Sum mer schools was 53SS. It is our plan to continue the Summer schools next year. High School Situation. Because of the greatly Increased number of high school students- the high school situation In this city is one of the most se rious problems confronting the board. Every high school building Is filled to overflow ing. Pupils of the Franklin High School are now scattered around In several buildings, making its proper administration most dif ficult; and with the certainty that , there will be close to 900 more high school pupils to be cared for next Winter, the board feels the need of additional high school rooms is urgent and has included as Its recommenda tion the expenditure of $100,000 for the first unit or a new r ranKiin iign School build ing, which will be a materia; help, but will not of itself be sufficient to take car of this pressing situation. In addition, the board has made provision In its budget for the renovation of the old Shattuck School building as soon as the new Shattuck ts finished, to house all the students taking commercial work in the several high schools. The construction of the first 'unit of the Franklin High and the preparing of the Shattuck School for the commercial work will greatly relieve the situation and pro vide room for all high school pupils for at least one year. The report also contained the budget recommendations as adopted. The following minority report was submitted by Dr. Sommer; I, the undersigned, a member of the Board of Directors, hereby submit a minority re port, recommending the adoption of the above majority report in every particular ex cept that of the purchase of a site for the School of Trades and the amount of a tax levy. I am of the opinion that - no new Trades School site should be purchased at this time and believe a levy should be made which will not contain provision for this outlay. With this item eliminated, the schools can be maintained on a 4.8 mill levy, which I recommend. REPORT FOK YEAR I S READ School Clerk Thomas Submits Ap proved Zlst at Meeting.

BOY SHOOTS HIS PAL Arthur Hart Dies From Injury Inflicted by Earl Kane. " FRIENDLY SCUFFLE FATAL Accident Occurs In Rooms of Fer dinand Slatthews and District Attorney Is Told Pistol "Was Taken Often for Practice. Arthur Hart, a 13-year-old boy -who was. shot in the head by Earl Kane, a playmate of the same age. In the St. Helena rooming-house. Second and Main streets, Monday, died yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital. Earl Kane, taken to Juvenile Court yesterday and closely questioned by Deputy District Attorney Robison, Spe cial Agent Geren and Juvenile Court officials, declared the shooting was ac cidental, that both reached for a loaded revolver at the same time and In the friendly scuffle, the weapon was dis charged. ' Arthur Hart lived with his parents at 846 Division street and Earl Kane's home Is at 894 East Caruthers street. Both stayed at the rooming-house with Ferdinand Matthews, said to be a sheepman, Sunday night and It was In his room. No. 34, that the shooting took place. Officers are now seeking Mat- "He was my best friend," sobbd Earl Kane as he told his story to Deputy Robison yesterday, who had it taken down by a shorthand writer. "We never had any trouble. I nave Known him since last June and we spent most of our time together. "We were in Matthews' room and Arthur said, 'Let's get his pistol out of his grip and look at It." I pulled it out and he wanted to take, it out" of my hands," but I wouldn't let him, I told him I-wanted to look at it myself. "We -wrestled for it and the gun went. off. The bullet struck Arthur in the side of the head Just" above the ear and he. fell over on the bed. Then I went and told the proprietor of the rooming-hous of the shooting. . . The lad said they had taken .the pistol out frequently and shot tin cans with it for fun. Earl Kane was a ward of the Juvenile Court once before, be ing brought in for a minor offense. He was sent to tne Detention Home fol lowing his examination yesterday and his disposition will await the investi gation of the Coroner into the shoot ing, which will take plaie today. Officials who heard the lad's story believe he was telling the truth. Dep uty Robison and others said last night they thought the boy was innocent of any intention to shoot his companion. In describing the shooting he took a revolver and illustrated his version of the accident, showing how the two, standing closely together, sought to secure possession of the gun.

Search for the companions of "Dutch Pete" Strof, alleged safe crackar, who was wounded.
