Samuel I. Slucum. County Surveyor R. C. Bonser succeeded Vhilo Holbrook. Circuit Court. Department No. ( C. C Cantenbein took the of fice to whU'h he was elected In November, and the legality of which the Supreme Court has affirmed. A throng of disappointed office seekers In and about the Sheriffs of fice was the only visible evidence about the Courthouse yesterday of the changes which took place at 12 o'clock. -There are 30 men for every Job." aid Sheriff Hurlburt. "I wish there were 39 Jobs for every man Instead." In room 300 the new Board of Coun ty Commissioners sat, organized and elected V. L. Llghtner chairman for the ensuing term. In room 5'iO Cir cuit JudK Ganteubain. whose election to Department .No. C by a 3-to-l vote was further strengthened by a Supreme Court decision, began holding court. In the County Surveyor's office, R. C. lionser took the desk vacated by his former chief. Phllo Holbrook. when Mr. Holbrook took the elevator to the sec ond floor and became a County Com missioner. Simultaneously, Dr. F. H. Dammasch. who succeeded Dr. Samuel L Slocum as Coroner, opened the new public morgue at 383 Bast Third street. Numerous other officials, who had been re-elected, took the oath of of fice. County Clerk Coffey administered the oath to all but himself. For this purpose Phil Harris, of the County As sessor's office, was called In. Sheriff Hurlburt announced the names of most of his deputies yester day, also saying be would retain, at least temporarily, several of the depu ties under ex-Sheriff Word. These will be kept until the new men are thor oughly familiarised with the office routine, and until matters now pending are disposed of. The office deputies to be retained under Air. Hurlburt administration are Martin T. Pratt. R. F. Wlcklund, W. S. Weeks. O. N. Ford and C. A. Deckman. The new deputies put on the payroll yesterday are R. W. Thompson. Robert W. Phillips. W. H.

Hurlburt. the Sheriffs brother, was named head Jailer, re placing Frank Curtis. Mr. Hurlburt announced late yesterday that he would retain the four deputies in the JalL These are Kd Kennedy, John Glennon. H. Truitt and Miss Rogers, the matron. Jail Chances Proposed. Jailer Hurlburt, who has had much experience in handling: men in large construction camps, proposes to make a few changes in the handling of the JalL The first one. he says, will be to put the kitchen in charge of a head ilief. eliminating some of the Jobs now held by "trusties." Other reforms, he said, probably will be developed as he becomes more familiarised with his new duties. - No changes so far have been made fn the tax department. This office, which In under the Joint Jurisdiction of Sheriff Hurlburt and County Treasurer Lewis. Is operated Jointly, and if changes are to be made it probably will be by agree ment between the two heads. Another technical change In the Courthouse with the advent of the first Monday in January was the opening ol the January term In each of the Cir cuit Courts. This occurred yesterday morning, and it was the duty of the hertft to open the courts. Mr. Word was Sheriff then, and he Invited Mr. Hurlburt on the tour of the building. I.lttle Drama Is Staged. The two hud met in the Sheriffs of fice Sunday, greeted one another cor dially, discussed affairs relative to the rhanse In offk-e. and Mr. Word had given Mr. Hurlburt a star. After opening Circuit Judge Morrow's rourt Mr. Word turned suddenly to Mr. Hurlburt. Have you got a star?" he demanded peremptorily. -Yes." returned Mr. Hurlburt. "What are you doing with ltT" "1 have it in my pocket. Give it to roe, "and Mr. Word reached out his hand for the star. The courtroom was crowded and the audience, alive to the situation In the Sheriff's office, where Mr. Word Is con-' testing Mr. Hurlburfs election, waited breathlessly, expecting Important de velopments. The atmosphere was tense, and the courtroom was unnaturally yuiet when the star passed from one man to the other. Then Mr. Word politely turned back the lapel of Mr. Hurlburfs coat, cere moniously pinned the star to the. new theriff's vest, and bowed. An audible sigh of relief escaped from the crowd. The platform of law enforcement on whKh he was elected. Mr. Hurlburt stated later, would obtain in his office during his administration. t'eaaty Board Orgnalsed. "I have selected my deputies with this end In view. With this end also. I am retaining a number of Mr. Word's deputies for a time at least. They are experienced men and I want them here until we get broken in." The organization of the new Board cf County Commissioners Was without Incident. Rufus C. Holman, chairman of the old Board, nominated W. L. I.ightr.er as chairman. This was sec onded by Phllo Holbrook. the new mem ber, and Mr. Lightner was elected. D. V. Hart, who had not been a candidate at the last election, and whom Mr. 1U1 brook succeeded, shook hands with his successor and departed. County Clerk Coffey was kept busy swearing In the new Deputy Sheriffs for a time. The oaths of the re-elected officials were also taken In this office. They are District Judges Jones. Dayton and Bell. Constable Weinberger. Coun ty Treasurer Lewis and County Auditor Martin. The large number of office seekers which visited the Courthouse yesterday kept Sheriff Hurlburt besieged In his private office most of the afternoon. "I have received mor than 60 let ters cf application," said Mr. Hurlburt. 'V.

FURTHER OBJECTION CITED Committee of One Hundred Will Xot Agree to Any Change, Defends Every Provision of Draft and Welts Sponsor. Hotel keepers In Portland and In other parts of Oregon are not satis fied with the provisions of the prohibi tion bill drawn by the Committee of One Hundred. They want permission to serve liquor on the tables of "transient" patrons In hotels of certain size 50 rooms or over it has been suggested. The Committee of One Hundred is standing firmly by Its bill and will listen to no suggestions for a change. Many members of the Legislature al ready have notified officers oi the Committee that they will vote for the measure In its present form. They say they will not tolerate any change that will permit the hotelmen to have privi leges that are to be denied to others. Nevertheless it is apparent that the hotel interests will be active at the coming legislative session in an effort to impress upon the members the al leged harmful results that will follow if they are denied the privileges they are asking for. They declare that it will drive the tourist business out or the state and that it will force some of the large hotels to close their doors. On the other hand the people who are backing the prohibition measure say that any such provision will lead to frequent abuses that it will be Im possible to tell bona fide transients from the residents of Oregon who reg ister under assumed names and as sumed addresses for the mere, purpose of having liquor served to them. Some objection also has been made by opponents of the bill against sec tion 34. which permits the Attorney General of the state to appoint special deputies to assist him in enforcing the law in sections of the state in which the local authorities seem incompetent or unwilling to act. - The argument Is advanced that this provision will enable the Attorney-General, if he is so inclined, to build up a political machine. In explanation of this section the Committee of One Hundred says that for the first few years it will be ab solutely necessary that soma assistance be afforded. "Bxperienee has shown," says the Committee in a current circular, "that liquor interests will employ the most resourceful attorneys and will expend unlimited sums of money In attempt ing to defend these prosecutions and make the law ft farce, and to convince the public that prohibition cannot be enforced." m J E. Wheeler, chairman of the com mittee of One Hundred, yesterday asked J. E. Anderson, of The Dalles, Representative from the Hood River Wasco Joint district, to Introduce the bill in the Legislature, Mr. Anderson Is a member of the Committee of One Hundred. Many other legislators, it is understood, were eager for the distinc tion of having the bill entrusted to their care. It is probable that a committee on alcoholic liquor traffic will be named In each house and that the bill be re ferred to those committees. LADD 0FFEROF SITE LIKED East Side Business Men. Favor Two Blocks for Trades School. At the luncheon of the East Side Business Men's Club yesterday at Ho tel Edwards, Grand avenue, the two blocks between East Eighth and East Tenth, Belmont and East Morrison streets, were indorsed as the site of the proposed Portland Trade School. L. M. Lepper announced that the Ladd es tate had offered these two blocks for the trade school for $70,000. He said with the intervening street, which could be vacated, this would .provide a site 460 by 400 feet. M. B. McFaul, H. A. Calef, Wilson Benefiel, T. J. Rowe and C. C. Hall were appointed to take up the site question with the Board of Education and urge that the Ladd offer be ac cepted. The club accepted an invitation ten dered by George M. Link, manager ot the Bulgin union meetings, to attend the services on a night to be selected later. Wilson Benefiel. M. B. "McFaul and H. L. Camp were appointed to name the night. It was voted to invite Rev. E J Bulgin. the evangelist in charge of the union meetings, to be the guest of the club at luncheon next Monday.

The wheat pit scene In which actual brok era and financial workers figure is the climsx of the offering. More than 500 persons actually participate in this scene and every moment is a thrill.

Then he realizes the full hap piness of his home life and determines to begin anew. Mr. Lackaye in the role of Jadwin leaves nothing out that Is needful to the story. Gail Kane is equally convincing as his wife. This offering will be shown for the remainder of this week.

The filing- this week with the State Supreme Court of a brief representing the city's views in the case of Russell, v.-i.ir, ntv Hall janitor, and a veteran of the Civil War. whom City Commissioner Brewster is "" " dismiss from the city service, will mark the beginning of an Interesting legal battle in which there have been a num ber of important issues in addition to the question of whether or not the ve t eran janitor will lose his job. The city nas until Saturday to file brief, which is being prepared by Deputy City Attorney Davie. The case was started more than a year ago. at which time Commissioner Brtwster dismissed Mr Chamberlain "for the good of the service. - No spe cific charges were made in the com plaint? but It was said by Commissioner Z. . a. 4.1. so- nrl infirmltV Of Mr. Chamberlain made it impossible for cuv hSu He had beeVin the service about 14 years.

In addition to involving the Question of whether or not Mr. Chamberlain will be ousted the case involves the ques tion of the standing of civil service In Portland.

Mr. Chamberlain will be represented by i!ogTr Slnnott and theCivil Servtee Board will be represented by its mem bers, all of whom are attorneys. Mr. Brewster Asserts niahts. The contention of Commissioner Brewster is that a City Commissioner has a right to discharge an employe by merely notifying the Civil Service Board that such discharge is for the rood of the service." The only right the dismissed employe has Is to prove that the Commissioner did not act in goedfaith or acted for political or re ligious reasons. It is contended by city employes that civil service might just as well be abolished as to have this rule prevail. It Is contended that it is impossible for a person to prove the motive of a Commissioner which would be the only thing left for the dismissed employe. . .. wt.An on mninve has been dismissed specific charges have been filed wltn tne kivii o. - - in case of a request for a hearing by the dismissed employe the Civil Serv ice Board has considered all the testi mony in passing upon the case finally.

The measure recommenaea oy committee provides that women may in.Ua An An iir I terms with serve u.i men, but allows women to claim exemp tion by signing a written or printed notice, which must be presented to licr at the time she is sorved with her Jury summons. She may claim exemption by reason of her sex, but In that case she shall not be allowed a fee. The measure makes no distinction between men and women so far as drawing names for jury uuty Is con cerned. . In addition to tha regular tar rolf. names also may be drawn from the registration books "or from other offi cial sources of Information." This means that If a woman's husband is a taxpayer she ry be drawn for jury duty even though she herself la neither a taxpayer nor a registered voter. Her marriage certificate would be accepted as "other official source of Information." In like manner a man may be sum moned for Jury duty If his wife is a taxpayer and he Is neither a taxpayer nor a voter. Mount Mitchell Statue Dynamited. ASHEVILLE. N. C.
