ANEW 7TR If troruana' vOne Set of Specifications to Call for Concrete Base and Other to Prescribe Plain Macadam Base Under Plan. After a conference lasting nearly four hours yesterday between the County Commissioners, District Attor ney Evans, Deputy District Attorney Murphy. Roadmaster Teon, Road En gineer Nunn and Attorney E. E. C'oovert. the Commissioners sent back to Mr. Nunn to be redrafted specifica tions ot pavements on which bids ara to be called for hardsurf acing . Mult nomah County roads. The reason for this action was that specifications for warrenite were so worded that, according to the District Attorney, other branda of so-called ' asphaltio concrete pavement might have b-en barred from competition. Mr. Evans and Mr. Murphy worked until 1 o'clock yesterday morning' studying the specifications and com paring them with the standard speci fications of the city on these types of pavement, which the Commissioners had directed should bo used. The specifications prepared for asphaltlc concrete, which covers the unpatented Topeka pavement, called for a concrete basp five inches thick, a binder one inch thick and a wearing FurfMce 1 inches thick, 7'4 inches in all. The proportion of the different constituents, including the percentages cf rock of various sizes, had also been " explicitly enumerated. The warrentite specifications called for twoMnches of warrenite redress, the amount that would ordinarily be laid over macadam foundation such as most of the county roads now have. There was no requirement for a con crete foundation, and the materials of the pavement were not specifically .enumerated. Mr. Evans Points Flair. District Attorney Evans pointed out at the conference thut this might au tomatically restrict competition be tween the patented warrenite and the unpatented asphaltlc concrete, to war renite, because of the greater expense involved in digging out present macadam bases and putting In con crete foundations under the asphaltlc concrete specifications, while no such requirement was made for warrenite. ' After much discussion, the Commis sioners decided to have new specifica tions drawn in . which no patented pavement will be referred to by name. Mr. Nunn was directed to draft two opacifications, each under the names of asphaltlc concrete No. t (warrenite) and asphaltic concrete No. 2 (the un patented pavement). One set of the specifications will call for concrete base and the, other set for plain macadam base. At the same time it was decided to eliminate the name of hassam, a pat ented concrete pavement, and prepare specifications "for concrete No. 1 (has sam) and concrete" No. 2 (the unpat ented concrete). This second class is also to be divided into two kinds, one set of specifications calling for the Wayne County, Mich., or 1-14-3 mix ture, and the other for the Pierce Coun ty, Wash., or mixture. Mr. Warrrn Called In. In the discussion of the warrenite specifications, Walter Warren, of the Warren Bros. Company, was called into conference. He spoke at some length on the methods of laying -warrenite properly. Mr. Evans asked if Warren Bros, would guarantee a pavement for 10 years if their material were used by another contractor under a license s greement. Mr. Warren answered, "No." He de rlared there were too many contractors who want to "skin" a job, and asserted that even inspectors would not give protection. Mr. Evans made it plain that his stand against the warrenite specifica tions presented was not against war renite as a pavement. "Warrenite is probably as good a pavement as can be laid," he said, "but under these specifications the Warrens have an advantage such as no one else has. This is not a personal matter." It may be two or three days before the specifications in their redrafted form can be considered by the Commis sioners, who asserted that they intended- to know every word and clause and proviso that went into them. "I don't want anybody ever to be able to say i that we have passed anything with our eyes shut," said Commissioner Hol brook, "and I for one intend to go over every word of the specifications." In the meantime, the question of whether a 10-year maintenance guar antee is to be required "probably will be threshed out. Three attorneys, E. E. Coovert. Carey &. Kerr and R. W. Mon tague, presented opinions to Roadmas ter Teon yesterday differing from the opinion of District Attorney Evans . asalnst the maintenance requirement. Mr. Yeon turned these opinions over to the Commissioners. While the subject was talked over Informally, the Commissioners did not have time to study these dissenting Opinions yesterday.

CELEBRATED STARS SHOWN Florence La Badie Is Seen at Her Best as Winsome Heroine in 'Mon sieur Xlckla Dupree' V. S. Hart 'Man From Nowhere.' Another rattling good blended pro gramme opened at the Sunset Theater yesterday. It will run through the re mainder of the week. It's hard to say which of the two leading numbers is the Dest "Monsieur Nickola Dupree," in which Florence La Badie is seen at her best as the win some heroine of a romantic story, or "The Man From Nowhere," featuring the celebrated star, William S. Hart, and Margaret Thompson. Both dramas are characterized by plenty of snappy action and the plots are especially well developed and Interesting. In "The Man from Nowhere." Mr. Hart has a strong and Impressive role. - Then there are "A Scientific Moth er," a delightful comedy-drama based on an experiment in scientifically feed ing an only child; "When Empty Hearts Are Filled," with Harry von Meter and Vivian Rich, and another good old Joyful Keystone comedy. WEIRD ROMANCE IS THRILLER "The Typliooii" at Star Is Full of Interesting Situations. "The Typhoon," a popular Paramount film, with Gladys Rockwell as Helene, is a part of the bill offered at the Star for the remainder of this week. With a plot involving numerous intrigues and Interesting personalities, the play is realistic. The scene is first laid in Nippon, and displays quaint and charm ing bits of Japanese life and landscape. The principal part of the story takes place in France, where a pretty actress, after Jilting Bernisky, a temperamental writer, falls in love with Tokoramo, a young Japanese nobleman. "Playing WIFE OF .INSPECTOR IN CITY ! ENGINEER'S DEPARTMENT PASSES AWAY. 1 ' i ' 4 Mrs. Martin McCarthy. Mrs. Martin McCarthy, a resi dent of Portland for 19 years, died at St. Vincent's Hospital Wednesday following an illness of three days.

She had one at tack of acute indigestion Sunday, was taken to the hospital Mon day. Mr. Martin, who is an inspector in the City Engineer's depart ment, and four children, two sons, P. T.

Interment will be In the Mount Calvary Cemetery. with fate" she finally meets death at the hands of Tokoramo. The court scene and the sacrifice of the Japanese student, Hironari, are especially good. The characteristic sad ending of a tan gled romance is almost weird. "Just Nuts," a Pathe ptcture featur ing Charlie Chaplin, is an amusing farce, full of fun and catastrophe. The clever "Cartoonagrahms" are no less interesting. "The Animated Weekly" shows French army life and maneuvers. BOY IS STAR CHARACTER Baseball Team's Mascot Is Lead ing Movie Part. The story of a little boy and a big man Is "Little Sunset" at the Peoples Theater. It is a baseball story which will no doubt be immensely attractive. "Little Sunset' is a genuine character, however. He is about 7 yearn old when his mother dies and his father becomes & member of a big ieague team. He takes his boy with him every place he goes until he finally becomes the mascot for the Apaches. The star batter is the "terrible Swede," a brawny blonde "fal ler" who worships the child and makes much of him. A real friendship exists between the two and they understand each other perfectly. The child becomes ill, and during the time when he is away from the field the "terrible Swede" loses his temper and quits. 4 He goes back, all right, and the child takes him. , The storycontains much human in terest. . Patrons will be interested in the an nouncement that Mary Pickford will be at the Peoples Sunday in "Fanchon the Cricket." SYBIL BAKER 111 LEAD WOODMEN CANDIDATE FOR QUEEN MOVES TP .FROM THIRD.

The remaining candi dates drop down into the 20,000 and lower. A general meeting of managers of the campaigns of the various candi dates was called by Dean Vincent, chairman of the contest committee, yesterday to thresh out the complaint that has been made against purchas ing of papers in bulk for the purposeT oi securing tne voting coupons. It was pointed out that this would militate against the plan of the committee to make it a purely "popularity" contest All of the managers present at the meeting pledged themselves to refrain from purchasing votes in that way and to use their influence to put a stop to it. It was pointed out. however, that if there has been any purchasing of votes going on thus far, it has been only slight, as can be shown by an analysis of the balloting up to date.
