Ancirnt Drndfte to Be Banished. The modern laundry, which Is just about to come Into belngr, is to succeed this ancient drudge. An army of preaent-day laundrymen is coming to Portland in July to tell the people how it is to be done. V). H. Benjamin, of Cleveland, O., and John Lynch, of Seattle, the advance ftuard of tho army, were In Portland yester day to arrange for the convention of the National Laundr ymen's Associa tion. They make the boast that more than 1000 of their kind will bo here for the July convention. "Tea, sir," said Mr. Benjamin at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, "the laun dries have just about completed' plans that will enable them to do the weekly washing and ironing tor the average American family at a figure so low that the family itself no longer can afford to do It. "By the time we pet together . here In Portland it is probable that we will be ready to go ahead with our work." LaundryxueiTs Convention Planned. Mr. Benjamin pointed out that the laundries now do family washing, which they send home "rough dried," but without doing: the Ironing. New inventions in laundry machinery make It possible now tt do the ironing on all sorts of clothes and at a figure that makes it an economic impossibility for the family to do it at home. The local committee in charge of the forthcoming convention yesterday ar ranged to lease the Armory, where it will make an exhibit of laundry ma chinery in connection with the meet ings. The Multnomah Hotel will be tho convention headquarters. At the came time the Oregon and Washington laundrymen will hold their convention at the Imperial Hotel and the Califor nia laundrymen at the Oregon Hotel. Poor Laundry C.irl" Son Content. Coincident witn the passing of the weekly washday, tha laundrymen point with pride" to the disappearance of tho "poor laurwiry girl," who has been replaced, they say, by a new type of laundry worker, whose hours ol labor are limited to nino hours per day, who is well paid, ambitious, healthful and efficient. "There has been a veritable up heaval in the laundry business in the last 10 years." cays II r. Benjamin; "yes, In the last five years. "In the first place, every modern laundry now will bear public inspec tion. They must be sanitary. Work ing conditions must be comfortable, and it possible, even pleasant. The women must be well paid. They must not be overworked. They must have clean and healthful surroundings. The modern laun-dry provides all these. "The day when the laundry sends your Sunday shirt home all tattered and torn is passing out of existence along with the weekly washing and the poor, down-trodden laundry girl." AID FOR POOR IS INDORSED Presidents of Various Bodies See Good In Ticnt-Free Quarters. The association of presidents of the various civic and commercial bodies of Portland has indorsed the plan of hous ing the unemployed, rent free, on out' lying properties in the city until they are in a position to take care of them selves. The members of the joint body ex pressed their support of the plan In a resolution adopted at their last meeting:. The plan suggested by Mrs. Jose phine R. Sharp, president of the Alberta Woman's Improvement Club was in dorsed. Mrs. Sharp and her co-workers havn secured a large list of property owners in the outlying distrfcts of the city who are willing tc allow this land to be used by dependent families as homes until they can provide homes foi themselves. . erners neii.ARKn riRATivu OF WOKA.VDWAIl WOKIIV. i I y - v A "INDIVIDUAL WORK" TRIED Major Jabn Mv Burke.

"It civili zation's Kuropean students de velop any further indorsements by action of Oeneral Sherman's trite saying, "That war is hell,' I will eooh believe that the American Indian has been much maligned," said the Major. "Furthermore.

WIFE SUES ACID-DRINKER Shock and Mental Anguish' Is Charged in Divorce Action. Her husband swallowed a bottle of acid on a public street just to hurt her feelings, according to the com plaint for divorce filed yesterday by Myrtle Irene Sewell against Theodore C. Sewell. The document fails to re el t what happened to Sewell after he drank the poison. The Sewells were married in 1904. Mrs. Sewell alleges in her complaint that her husband brought his father to live with them, much against her will. She says he stayed away from home 11 months out of a year. On Feb ruary 11 he met her on the street and, in the presence of several other per sons, "with intent to wound plaintiff's feelings," he swallowed a bottle of carbolic, acid, and that "by reason thereof plaiptiff sustained a severe nervous shock and suffered great men tal anguish." Albert B. Ferrera Declares Clamor of Wnr IrfMt by Distance, but Re aervista Would Return. Although sympathizing to a greater or lesser extent with Italy in the strug gle of that country to gain back from Austria certain territory which Italy feels was unjustly taken from it, there would be no general exodus of Ital ians from the United States in the event Italy should enter the European war, in the opinion of Albert B. Fer rera, an Italian attorney of Portland, who is recognized as a close student of the Italian people and government. Mr. Ferrera said yesterday that many Italian reservists would leave,- but that many of the Italian people who have become Americanized would not go back. He says it is unlikely that there would be a general exodus from the United States. "This is not because the Italianshere do not sympathize with their mother country," said Mr. Ferrera. "The Ital ians, young and old, believe that Italy is entitled to Trieste and Trentmo There are a number of reasons why there might not be the amount 6f en thusiasm over the war among Italians in America that there would be among these people if they were at home. "One reason is that many Italians have their families and homes in the United States and have become Ameri canized. Many of these people are be yond the military age of 42 years. Those eligible for military service are so many thousand miles away from their native land that they are not stirred up by the glamor and excite ment which stirs the Italian nation into action. "Judging from the Italian newspa pers and from other sources, there is no great feeling in Italy . against the Germans. The feeling, however, is strong against Austria. This feeling is not so much against the Austrian peo pie as against the Austrian govern ment. This is due to the brutal treat ment accorded Italians l)f the Austrian government when Italians in Northern Italy were under the Austrian flag. "Since Italy has become united it has not felt that its work of rejuvenation was complete until all provinces were recovered. The fact that Austria has held two of the disputed provinces has kept the flame of antagonism alive be tween the two nations." Dr. Carlo Visetti, Italian Consul In Portland, refused yesterday to make any statement regarding the situation. He said he had received no information from Italy regarding the war. He said that owing to the present situation he was not free to he interviewed. Old-Time Desire for Indorsements Lacking and Addressees Aro Ex plained With Apologies Sen ator Chamberlain Due. 4 The present city campaign is one of the strangest' in the memory of poli ticians and newspaper men. V ith the city election, at which two Commis sioners and a City Auditor are to be elected, only 19 days off, every candi date seemingly is attempting to keep out of the limelight as much as possi ble, instead of getting into it. 1 Ordinarily at this time there would he a frenzied stampede for publicity. Every day long lines of candidates, their friends and personal representa tives would be lined up at the desks of the political reporters, waiting their turn to pass over long typewritten statements, longer typewritten counter statements, notices of political meet ings at which they had spoken or in tended to speak, eulogistic sentiments from various communities, biographical matter, indorsements and what not anything to get publicity. Has this occurred in the present cam paign? It has not. In fact, the candidates seem posi tively timid about letting the public know they are even in. the race. And, most remarkable of all, they are ready to cry for mercy and beg that indorse ments shall not he published, if they do get them. The idea of the candidates seems to be now that the ordinary indorsement is detrimental rather than helpful. These are sad days for the boys who used to make a few honest dollars in campaign times by "delivering" the in dorsement of the Republican Club, the Greater West Bank Improvement Com mittee, the Woman Voters' Welfare As sociation, and so forth and so on. Nowadays a candidate will jump out of his chair and hide if the represent ative of an organization appears in the omng with an indorsement for him. This indorsement scheme has been worked, to death in the past and has been thoroughly shown up for what it is worth just about nothing, or less. In the famous free-for-all of two years ago, when some 90-odd candidates were running for Mayor and Commissioner, every one of them had from live to a couple of dozen such indorsements, and the results were not pleasing. The candidates so far are all pursu ing pretty nearly tho same kind of campaign, or say they are. "Individual work with the voters is the favorite way of . expressing it. And. if any speeches are made, they are always informal" and "at the invitation of "the hearers. Probably me-tters will warm up after next Monday. " And the last week of the campaign may see a revival of the old times. But just now, every office- seeker is waiting for some other'' office- seeker to start something.

Siansberry ami others, who were de nied an injunction,-in their suit against the First Methodist Church of Port ! land bv the Multnomah Circuit Court- today filed an appeal with the Supreme Court. The action relates to the con troversy regarding the old Taylor- street Methodist Church. George E. Chamberlain, United States Senator from Oregon, who left Wash ington May 1 for Portland on the Fin land, by way of the Panama Canal, and landed at San Diego on Monday, is ex pected to arrive today or tomorrow. His son. rr. Charles r. Chamberlain, and Lester W. Humphreys, his manager in the last campaign, however, have not heard any definite word from him as to the exact date of his arrival. Senator Chamberlain probably will remain in Portland for a rest through the Summer. He will stay at his home at C81 Tillamook street, in Irvington, where Mrs. Chamberlain is now. His business headquarters will be in the of fice of Mr. Humphreys, 400 Chamber of Commerce. CANNERY MACHINERY DUE Gresham Plant Expects Equipment Today for Use, at Once. Canning machinery with a capacity of 400 cases a day is due today at the Gresham cannery. The machinery was shipped some time ago, and it will be installed at once. Two electric motors will be used to operate the plant. A boiler has been placed in position and the electric hoist and wiring completed. The cannery will be ready to start operations early in June.

GOVERNORS SEND THANKS Chamber Hears From Executives Entertained on Way North. "Tell the people of Portland we greatly appreciate their attentions. Many thanks for the beautiful Port land roses." This is the message received yester day by Mark G. Woodruff, publicity di rector for the Chamber of Commerce, from George Carlson, Governor of Col orado, who with Mrs. Carlson and Gov ernor Spry, of Utah, visited Portland on Monday night on their way to Seat tle to attend the Governors' confer ence. It is probable that many of the Gov ernors attending the Seattle meeting will return via Portland, and if it is possible to induce them to remain in Portland long enough the Chamber of Commerce will prepare some formal function In their honor. SIGNS NOT LIT UNDER BAN Folding Back, of Advertising Boards lo Be Enforced for J'estival. For the improvement of the appear ance of the streets in the business dis trict during the Rose Festival, the City Council yesterday decided to en force to the letter an ordinance re quiring the folding back against the buildings of electric signs not in use. The move was instigated by Commis sioner Dieck. All electric siarns protruding over the sidewalk are so constructed that they can be folded back. The Council de cided that it is important that the "dead" signs should be moved to pre serve the city's appearance. B. S. Tate Dies After Operation. . S.
