THE 3IORXIXG OREGOMAX. SATURDAY, 3IAY fl2, 101.. VODD BLOCK PAVING URGED BY CHAMBER Lumber Industry's Importance to State Is Cited in Advice on Road Bond Funds. OREGON FIR IS ADVOCATED l'uiliirc of Tjpc in Portland Attrib uted to Poor Work Jn Laying and (Success Jn Other Large Cities Is Pointed Out. Trustees of the new Portland Cham ber of Commerce at a meeting Wednes day passed a resolution asking that Ihe County Commissioners in arrang ing; for the expenditure of the road bonds fund take into consideration the greatest rood for the greatest num ber of the citizens of tho state, and urging them to do everything possible along the lines of good ousiness judg ment to foster tho use of wood-block pavement. Tho resolution follows: Whereas. Multnomnh County Is about to spend a. largo sum of money for road pav inc find Whereas, A proper expenditure of this fund will be of untold benont to the labor ing men and other citizens of Oregon, and Whereas. Roads paved with wood blocks I nave many good qualities, Including dura bility, and B Whereas. Many coimtries of Europe, as well as many sections of the Untied States have tested this type of pavement with suc cess, nnd Whereas, of the l.."0O,O00 square yards of wood block navin? laid In the United states during the year 11H4, but a fraction of one per cent was laid In the State of Oregon, and Whereas. There is standing in the State of Oregon todav 20 per cent of all the tim ber in the United States, and Whereas. More than ttO per cent of the labor nnd nearly 8 per cent of the popula tion of Oregon is dependent upon the lum ber industry for support, and Flighty Per Cent In Actual (mt. Whereas, More than SO per. cent of the cost of converting our forests into lumber is represented by actual cash, paid out to watre-eamers: now tllereforo be it Resolved. That the trustees of the Cham ber of Commerce of 'Portland. Or., repre senting nearly 50M members, and having; at heart the best interests of the City of Port land, the County of Multnomah and the State of Oreiron, request the Commissioners of Multnomah County to taku into consid eration the greatest good to the greatest number of the clizeus of Oregon when ar ranging tor the expenditure of the money mentioned above and do everything possible along the lines of good business Judgment to foster the use of wood block pavement. "I doubt if there aro many persons who realize the immense importance to the welfare of Oregon of the lum ber industry and its development," said O. P. M. Goss, consulting engineer with the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' A ssneiation. "For instance, how many persons know- that the output of forest products of Oregon totals $30,000,000 a year? Compare this with the value of the fish output. $5,000,000: of the fruit in dustry. J6. 750.000: of wheat. $16,000,000. Though these are all Important indus tries their combined total is less than of lumber alone. Importance la Kmphattisrd. "Wood block pavement is not an ex periment. It is a thoroughly practical pavement and one that has been proved thoroughly in this country and Europe. As the resolution says. 1.500.000 square yards of wood block pavement were laid in the United States last year, yet right here in Oregon, where we have the timber in abundance, the best wood for wood block pavement, and where NO per cent of the people are directly Hffected by the lumber industry, only a fraction of one per cent was laid. "Just to show what some other places think of Oregon fir wood block pave ment, it may be mentioned that the City Council of Seattle has just author ized 14,000 squaTe yards of fir block pavement on six blocks. . in Twelfth avenue south of Madison street. This order is the direct outcome of the paving of two of the busiest blocks in the city, in Second avenue, with the same material. "What little wood block pavement we have in Portland is for the most part miserably laid and 'not in accordance with standard specifications. In New York, Iondon and. other big cities, where they have been laid right, they have given the greatest satisfaction. "First of all, however, it is neces sary to use Douglas fir in building some of our own roads and streets. A wood block pavement constructed in accordance with the specifications or dered by Multnomah County will give better service than other types of pave ment, and should have the support of every person who sincerely wishes to back local development." REPLY IS NEARLY READY (iUHMA.V SOTB NOW AWAITS FINAL APPROVAL OK KAISER, Mennage May Reach Washington Tues day or Wednesday British Answer Regarded as Incomplete. WASHINGTON, May 21. Germany's reply to the American note, sent a week ago today as a consequence of the Lusi tania tragedy and other violations of American rights in the war none, is almost complete, according to intima tions which have reached hero through diplomatic channels. The return of Emperor William from the Eastern front is said to be awaited by the Imperial Chancellor and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, before the document is put into final form for presentation to Amdassador Gerard. It may reach here next Tuesday or Wed nesday. The Issuance today by the British foreign office of an explanation of de tentions of American cargoes was re ceived with much interest in official quarters, but without comment. While the memorandum explains some of the points taken up in a note under prep aration to be sent to Great Britain, it was said by some officials that the United States had not yet obtained 'a satisfactory explanation of its original inquiry with respect to England's right to halt any cargoes of non-contraband, including cotton, consigned to neutral ports, which cannot be blockaded under international law. Neither the State Department nor the Austrian or German embassies has any positive information as yet as to the tone or character of the German reply to tho American note. STREET CURVE MAY BE CUT A a Ellington-Street Property-Owners i'avor Proposed Improvement. Washinston-strert property owners met at Hie Carlton Hotel Thursday with Commissioner Dieck with refer ence to the proposed improvement of Washington street between Lownsdale and Sixteenth street, where it is de sired to cut away a strip of property on the south side of the street to elimi nate a dangerous curve. About a score of the heaviest owners of property on the street were present and unanimously agreed to back the Commissioner in his plans. The extent of the assessment district and the size of the assessment virtually have been agreed upon. It is estimated that the improvement im fuli will cost approximately J15.000, of which a part must be borne by the city itself. The plans provide 'that a strip be cut from the front end of the Sixteenth-street fire station. Some differences have arisen, how ever, over the amount to be paid to the Schwab estate for the strip to be cut from two store buildings immedi ately west of th fire station.

Mr. Considine engaged the noted diva as star of his Portland show immedi ately aTter she completed her tour of the Orpheum circuit at the Majestic Theater in Chicago. Madame Jomelli scored a tremendous hit at the Or pheum here last January and that suc cess, in a measure, was responsible for her "come-back" Portland engagement. Slio was such a favorite in her pre vious visit here she was retained for a second week, an honor never before bestowed on an Orpheum artist in Portland. The celebrated singer was appearing at the Majestic Theater in, Chicago when Mr. Considine and the Loew in terests were conferring in New York over the transfer of the Empress cir cuit back to the control of Mr. Consi dine. Immediately after the decision of the Sullivan & Considine forces to take back the vaudeville circuit, Mr. Considine telegraphed Madame Jomelli, offering her a week's engagement at the Empress here and she accepted Im mediately. Madame Jomelli was engaged at a figure which records her as the highest-priced star ever booked by Mr. Considine. In touring the Orpheum circuit Madame Jomelli made a distinct hit in every city and at the close of the tour she declared Portland was her beloved city, the reception won by her here being the greatest. In her Empress engagement Madame Jomelli will be heard in a new reper toire. When at the Orpheum special request was made laily that the diva sing "Home, Sweet Home," and she has decided to include that selection in her programme at every show."

JUICY STEAKS ARE ENJOYED 1'nconvcntionality Reigns Supreme at first function Since Consoli dation; Speeches Informal and Thoroughly I-iked. t Fine formalities were cast aside and delightful unconventionality reigned unrestrained at the big "get-acquainted" dinner at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night from 6 o'clock to mid night. The. function bore out its title in every particular. Every man present had repeated, if not continuous, oppor tunities of learning to know every other man present. Most of them embraced the opportunities with freedom and gladness. It was the first entertainment pro vided by the new house committee ap pointed coincident to tho recent con solidation of the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club. And it was agreed all around that the committee's initial efforts certainly were prolific of fun and good fellowship in superabund ance. All Acquainted Early. Even before the soup was passed, C. C. Colt, president of the Chamber, got the folks into tho habit of being free and easy with one another. He or dered every man to introduce himself and to shake hands with the man at his right, at his left and across the table. That started things going, and after that there, was nothing to it but mild revelry that grew in its cor diality and good nature as the early evening waned toward midnight. So far as similarity to other dinners Is concerned, this one started with the soup and ended there. Its principal dissimilarity was in the beefsteak, served in great slabs of toast. Mr. Colt, who is in the packing-house business, had to confess that he didn't know where the house committee could scare up such choice tenderloins. He called upon John Cronan, chairman of tho house committee, to tell, but Mr. Cronan refused. Not contented with departure from conventional ways in its dinner serv ice the committee had another pleas ing innovation in the post-prandial programme. No prearranged speeches were permitted. Those fellows who came intending to speak were good naturedly not called on at all and many who never expected to be heard were made to get up and tell of the sen sation they experienced in belonging to the new Chamber. Speakers Well Receive!. First among these was Carl Schal linger, who promised "to do all I can to bring about the success of the new organization." Mcltinley Mitchell was taken so by surprise when the chairman called his name that he scaVce could give ut terance to his feelings, but received a good-natured "glad hand" all the same. John Hartog took a few cheerful flings at the chairman, but then struck a serious note by contrasting the pres ent fortunate position of the people in America to the miserable lot of the men in the trenches in Europe. He brought forth a prolonged round of applause in his cordial tribute to Pres ident Wilson, "the man who is preserv ing the peace of the Nation." "If there are some In this country who want to fight," he exclaimed, "let them take a convenient boat to Europe. I think they can find accommodations there." A. L. Barbur responded by asking that his membership be taken serious ly. Although he is a candidate for of fice, he said, he nevertheless expects to do his share of the work in the new organization. Lewis Thompson, the architect, who la supervising the physical changes in the Commercial Club building, ex plained some of the details of the work. w Labor Speaker Applauded. Edgar E. Smith, one of the represen tatives of the Central Labor Council in the chamber, was received with vig orous applause. He said that the labor ing people, too, want their affiliations with the chamber taken seriously. Judge Colvig appealed for wider ef fort on behalf of the entire state and the whole Northwest, as well as for Portland. O. W. Mielke was optimistic of the Work that can be done, and R. D. Car penter predicted that much can be ac complished by utilizing "the new blood" among the members. W. F. Woodward, one of the directors, spoke in complimentary terms of the previous remarks of Mr. Smith, and declared that if the chamber can be instrumental in bringing about a closer understanding between employer and employe its existence will not have been in vain. B. D. Timms, Henry E. Reed. Frank M Smith. E. L. Thompson, John F. Dougall. J. C. English, C. F. Berg, F. C. Rigga and H. W. Mitchell, other directors, spoke briefly. GRAND AVENUE TO BE GAY Decoration Committee Completes Plans for Rose festival. J. D. Sherman, chairman of the decoration committee of the East Side Business Men's Club, reported Tester dav that arrangements had been com pleted for appropriate decoration of Grand avenue between Hawthorne ave nue and East Burnside street. Jacob Kanzler, chairman of Rose Festival decoration committee, has agreed to put up the decorations on Grand ave nue and will furnish about 300 flags, 8 by 5 inches. The East Side Busi ness Men's Club will furnish more flags and material for side decora tions of the telephone and electric poles. The poles along Orand avenue will be painted white.

Referring to an editorial published in the Frank furter Zeitung saying that the United States cannot declare war on Germany because of the millions of Germans, Irish and Jews in this country, the Warheit said: "The Jews sh&uld very much like the" Frankfurter Zeitung and others to refrain from mentioning them in their discussions of a war between the United States and Germany. If men tioned they must be, then let it be said in their name: 'The Jews of the United States will all, to the last man. stand behind President Wilson and the United States Government." , "We take the responsibility for the statement that in all international matters in which the United States is involved the Jews as a National unit are the only ones who stand solidly be hind the Washington Administration. This was true with regard to the Mex ican question; this is just as true now with" regard to the world war. The Jews may have their sympathies, but where living up to the Presidents neutrality proclamation is concerned they will not be found among those who under the pretense of neutrality carry on a systematic agitation against one or another of the warring na tions. "The attitude of the Jews toward the sinking of the Lusitania may serve as an example of their loyalty and patriotism. A survey of the Jewish press and a comparison between the sermons in the churches and those in the synagogues of the country will prove conclusively that the Jews are undivided in their support of the Presi dent and are ready to serve him and their country in any emergency that may arise." BABY IS LEFT IN SALOON MOTHER TELLS BARTENDER HE MADE Bt'M OP HER HUSBAND. New York Woman Afterwards Repents and Seeks Child, Hut Police Arrest Her for Abandonment. NEW YORK, May 15. An East Side mother, suffering from poverty and abandoned by her husband, entered a saloon near Thirty-sixth street and First avenue yesterday afternoon, gent ly lifted a blue-eyed baby a year old from a basket on her arm and laid it on the bar. "It's you that'll have to take care of the baby now," declared Mrs. Bridget McQuinn, the mother, beginning to cry, "I've done all I can to keep it, but now my money's all gone. This place has made a bum of my husband. Tim. You know you did that.' shff flared up at the astonished bartender. She kissed the baby quickly and went out Mrs. Bridget McQuinn lived with her three babies in a tenement at 330 East Thirty-ninth street. Tim. her husband, was a roustabout sailor on cattle ships sailing between New York and Newport News and the French coast. But when Tim reached home he spent his money and time in saloons. In her desperation the mother a year ago made a raid on the place Tim fre quented and attempted alone to break it up. But Tim could not be reformed and the saloon kept open door. Five months ago Tim left home and has not been heard from since. The mother does not know whether he is alive. Two months later Bridget and her babies were in such desperate straits that the Children's Society was forced to take charge of Pat. 5 years; Tim, Jr., 3 years, and little Nan, 4 years. The mother secured work in a laundry, but she never got her children back. Ac cording to the police she is not fit to keep them. In her extremity she dressed the youngest baby in a little white dress, put it in a basket and visited' the sa loon. Three-quarters of an hour after reaching home she yearned so for her baby that she sent a little neighbor girl to fetch it. The girl returned, saying that the baby had been taken to Belle vue hospital by a policeman. The mother hastened to the "East Thirty-fifth street saloon and asked for her baby. She was told tnat sne couia r.ot have ft Then the police were com pelled to arrest her on a charge of abandonment. MIND LONG JF0GGY CLEARS Picture iu Paper Brings Man to Himself After 12 Years. NEW YORK. May 13. The mystery of the disappearance of J. Foster Jen kins. ex-Police Commissioner of Yonkers. who had been missing from home since April 7, was cleared up by a letter to his wife from Jenkins him self, in which he said he was in Cin cinnati and that he could not in any way account for himself.

Aa soon as the roada are fit for foot travel the Chippewa women will come from thpir homes, brimrtne in wondrous cre ations in basketry and quill work. Throughout the Winter the women spend their days and evenings working on their basketry. It takes practically a year to gather. prepare and weave baskets. From one Spring- to another the Chippewa woman is gathering- sweet (trans, basswood bark, black ash, hedgehog quills and white birch bark for her work, some times having to go miles into the woods to peel the bark, slay the hedgehog or gather the grasses from some wayside creek. The sweet grass, which is a wild fra grant reed grass and grows on the banks of creeks and ponds, ts gathered in the Fall. Before It can be woven or sewed into baskets, tt has to be rolled across the hot surface of a stove. When It has been sufficiently rolled about and absorbed enough heat to make it suit able for- her purposes, the woman ties a knot in one end and hangs it head downward upon a nail on the outside wall of her house or hooka it over a tree branch in the sun. This grass has been used by the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians for generations, and, although some commercial basket manufacturers have begun its use, their wares do not have the wearing quality of those made by the Michigan Chippewa basket weavers, because it is not dried by hand and thus loses its flexibility. Other work done by these Chippewa Indian women is of white birch bark curiously embroidered and embellished with hedgehog quills. These receptacles are trimmed with bands of sweet grass and tasseled off with a fiber made of basswood bark. This fiber, which re sembles coarse yarn, is made by boiling the bark until of the right consistency, then drawing it through a hole In a bone or stone until It is twisted into strands. It Is then dried in the sun and when dried is ready for braiding or for whatever purpose it is to be put. Alexander ARRIVES ON THE SCENE Something's doing here today, Father's face is one broad smile ; Alexander's come to say "This chap's life must be worth while !" That's what every father feels like saying when the new boy arrives. There's many a savings account coming along at this bank in the name of youngsters from whom you'll hear later in this community. Getting the savings account under way early is putting in the boy's hands the tools to carve his fortune with. Let every boy, and girl, too, in Portland become accustomed early to handling money and taking care of it let them learn from Thrifty Alexander.

This ash Is first pounded with a dull implement until it begins to split. A heavy knife is then run under the strips, carefully removing them in the desired widths. When they are needed they are first laid in a bucket of warm water, which softens them so they can be woven without breaking. Her hedgehog quills are dampened by plac ing them in a basin of warm water while she is working. Her bark she puts Into a warm oven. Frequently she finds misty weather suitable to basket weaving and takes her materials out doors, sitting on the ground as she works. Several of her neighbors will bring their work into her yard and the three or four of them chat while they weave, ignoring tho mists entirely. Baskets made by these women sell at from 10 cents to $10 each. The de signs, direct patterns from the Chip pewa woman's imagination and sketched in crudest methods, are fan tastic and quaint, but not lacking in artistic beauty for all that.

The bond of affection between Camille Saint-Saens, the famous composer, and Mme Klise KutKchfrra. the noted singer and friend of royalty, was severed here recently. As Saint-Saens came down the gang plank an attract! vely-attired woman rushed up, and, extending her arms, cried : "Maistro, I am so happy, so happy to see you." , "Ah, Kutscherra, Kutscherra." Joy ously responded the aged composer. "Hut, no," he exclaimed in the next breath, "away, you are Jerman." Then Saint-Saens rushed by his astonished, sola weloomer and, with three companions hurried into a cab. This is Mine. Kutscherra's complaint as registered to a reporter: "To think that Saint-Saens should come to America, where every one Is so big and great and polite, to insult me. If he had not been so old and I had not been so much of a lady, I would have slapped his face. Rut I laugh at him; he is childish. If he wanted to do It on the other side, all right; but he should not have done it in America. "I am not a German, my God. "I am a Belgian.
