Vote at City Election Likely.
With the majority 6f members of the
City Council on record as fa vorinp cer
tain things in connection with Jitney
reeulation. City Attorney LaRoche has
started the taslc of arransins an ordi
nance to fit those ideas and others
which have been agreed upon tenta
tively by the Council or by part of its
membership. The measure probably will
not be ready for presentation to tne
Council until nest week.
Among the provisions which will oe
worked out are those decided upon defi
nitely at the hearing Tuesday. These
cover many of the most Important fea
tures of the regulation. Some of the
other points In connection with the
business have to be decided upon yet
by the Council.
In the measure, as it will be prepared
by City Attorney LaRoche. provision
will be made for licensing all jitneys.
A fee of 3 a month will be set as the
minimum. Cars carrying more than
seven passengers are to be assessed 2
cents a month extra for each seat in
excess. For the ag-passenger uuc
this will mean a cnarge i
month.
Ra.w- umii Forbidden.
All jitneys will be prohibited from
operating on waunn$iu
streets in the business section of the
West Side. They will be forced to -use
stark Alder or Yamhill streets. This
provision, which has been decided upon
by a majority of the Council, is aimed
to lessen the iranic ranstsuuu

right to inspect the machines at any
time.
Liability la Problem.
One of the most important questions
yet to be settled by the Council is that
of liability. It was proposed at first
to force all owners to furnish surety
or liability bonds to protect passengers
in case of accident. It has been found
that such bonds are expensive and af
ford no real protection. Just how the
Council can force the jitneys to come
un to a point where they are rinan
cially responsible In case of accident is
a problem.
Jitney representatives have an
nounced that wnatever regulation is
imnosed by the Council probably will
be submitted to the voters either under
the initiative or referendum. If the
Council passes an ordinance the jitney
people, or some of them at least, say
they will circulate petitions and invoke
the referendum. If the Council fails
to pass an ordinance or passes one not
satisfactory to tne anti-jitney interests
it is said a measure will be lralted and
referred to the voters by initiative pe
tition, consequently the voters at the
city election, June 7, probably will be
called upon to express their choice of
several measures.

IMMIGRATION. TIDE TURNS
More Aliens Leaving United States
Than Arc Being Admitted.
WASHINGTON. March 10. For the
first time in the history of the United
States the flow of Immigration has been
turned back toward Europe by the
war and more aliens are leaving the
United States than are coming here
to make their homes.
Statistics made public today by Im
migration Commissioner Caminetti
show that the change came in De
cember last, when the number of emi
grant aliens leaving this country was
creater by 2240 than the total of im
migrants entering. In January ITE7
more departed than entered. The de
partures for the six months from Au
gust. 1914. to January last totalled
18,545 more than the arrivals, includ
ing both emigrant and non-emigrant
aliens.
The heaviest emigration was shown
among aliens from Southern Italy. Of
these 75.629 more departed than were
admitted during the seven months
ended with January. This presumably
was due to the railing of Italian re
servists to the colors.

legislature to put a bill Into effect
immediately, if passed by two-thirds

In response to a telegram received
several days ago from Gwin Hicks,
who was discharged recently by the
State Kxporltion Commission as resi
dent Commissioner at San Diego, both
Houses today passed a resolution giv
ing State Auditor Clausen $600 for a
trip to San Francisco and San Diego
for investigation of the Hicks matter,
the deposed official having intimated
that he could show some matter of in
terest. The House passed an anti-picketing
bill aimed at labor organizations and
the new game code, both already passed
by the Senate. Amendments to the
mothers pension act requiring three
years' residence in the state and bar
ring divorcees from receiving aid was
passed, as was the bill changing the
name of Chehalis County to Grays Har
bor County to avoid confusion with the
City of Chehalis, county seat of the ad
joining County of Lewis.

the Government War Risk Insurance

a part in the determining of her status
as a carrier of cargo not subject to

this clause:

as a matter of common knowledge, sup
plies articles of this kind to a bel
ligerent, or are consigned to a fortified
place belonging to a belligerent, or to
any other place serving as a base for
the armed forces of the belligerent."
Another clause declares the policy
void if the vessel insured carries sup
plies to war vessels or Deingerenis.
When the owners of the Frye agreed
o noHv with these clauses, officials
here assumed that her cargo was not
consigned to the use or a Deingerent
nation.

GERM AX 1-12 IS SUNK BV BRITISH
DESTROYER.
Ten of Crew of Twenty-Eight Are Saved
and Will Be Deprived of Military
Privileges, London Admiralty Says. '
LONDON, March 10. The British
Admiralty announced today that the
German submarine U-12 had been sunK
by the British torpedo-boat destroyer
Ariel. An early official report gave
the name of the destroyer as U-20, but
this was corrected in a later announce
ment. Of the submarine's crew of 28,
the number saved was ten.
The captured crew will be deprived
of all sDeclal privileges, as was done
in the case of the men or board the
U-8.- and they will be held for trial in
connection with the sinking of mer
chant vessels.
" The later Admiralty statement said:
"Later and more detailed reports
have now been received which estab
lish the fact that the German sub
marine which was rammed and sunk by
H. M. S. Ariel, was the U-12, and that
out of her crew of 28 the number saved
was 10."
The submarine U-12 was an oldjer and
smaller vessel than the U-20. She was
of the class built in 1910-11. Her dis
Dlacement was 250 tons, and she had a
maximum cruising radius of 1200 miles.
Her fighting complement consisted ot
28vmen. She was armed with three 18-
lnch torpedo tubes and two one-pounder
high-angle guns. She had a speed of
13 knots above water and eight Knots
submerged.
The U-12 has taken an active part
In the German operations against
British shipping.
The loss of the U-12 makes the sev
enth German submarine destroyed
since the beginning of the war, ac
cording to reports given out officially
in London. These boats are u-io, sun
by the British cruiser Birmingham in
August; U-18, rammed and sunk by a
British patrol boat on November 23,
and three unidentified submersiles of
ficially declared lost on October zt, Oc
tober 30 and February 28. The sixth
submarine destroyed was the U-8,
which was sunk off Dover on March 4.

STOPS ITCHING
To those who have endured for years
the itching torments of eczema or other
such skin-eruptions, the relief that the
first use of Resinol Ointment and Res-
inol Soap gives is perfectly incredible.
After all the suffering they have en
dured and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they cannot
believe anything so simple, mild and in
expensive can stop the itching and
burning INSTANTLY! And they find
it still more wonderful that the im
provement is permanent and that Res
inol really drives away the eruption
completely in a very short time. Per
haps there is a pleasant surprise like
this in store for you. Resinol Oint
