TIIE MORNING OltEGONIAN. TUESDAY. JUNE SO, 1915. MENAGE B? RATS TO G1TY ASSERTED Federal Expert Says San Fran cisco Only City on Pacific Safe From Bubonic Plague. "RATPROOFING" IS URGED Dr. Rupert Blue, Tbo Stamped Out Disease Iora California Metrop olis, Sees Danger to Port land In Wooden Wharves. '"Cot a. icaoort town on the Paciflo Coast. San Francisco excepted, ia safa from bubonic plague, and tney win not be safe until they are ratproof." said Dr. Rupert Blue, surKeon-generm the United States Public Health Serv ice, yesterday. "The only way .to insure against bubonic plague," continued Dr. Blue with emphasis, "is to exterminate the rats, which carry it. Make every pos sible rat habitation and source of food supply ratproof. Kill as many as you can, starve them, catch them in traps, poison them but above all else, rat proof them. "And the only known ratproofing material on a larRe scale." he added, "is solid concrete." If there is any person in the wide world thoroughly qualified ta talk on bubonic plague and rats, that person is Dr. Rupert Blue. For the benefit of some few folks who may uiever have heard of Dr. Blue and his work, be It said that it was Dr. Blue, then a passed assistant surgeon in the United States Marine Hospital Service, who took hold in San Francisco in 1907-08 when bubonia plague had gained a xootnoid there, cleaned up me town, waged war on rats, ratproofed wharves, tables, warehouses, backyards, base, meats and garbage cans and stamped out this most terrible and fatal of all diseases as it had never been stamped out before. City Made Ratproof. Today San Francisco is a ratproof city. Its wharves are of conrete, and rats can't burrow through concrete. There is hardly a place in all San Francisco where even a miedtum-siaea rat could glean a living for himself, let alone for missus and the kids. Dr.! Blue says that Portland must be ratproofed lust aa San Francisco waa. if it is to be made immune from bubonic plague. "It isn't enough to wait until you find plague-infected rata," he said. "All rats are dangerous, for they are all potential plague carriers the moment an infected rat appears among them. "It is not enough to have rat guards n the mooring lines of all vessels from the Orient docking here, and to take other precautions of that sort. No matter how efficiently the authorities enforce regulations of this kind, no matter how carefully they fumigate ships, some rats will get ashore. It has been proved that if the rats can't get ashore any other way, they will Jump in the river and swim ashore. "The problem of effectual rat proof ing will be a hard one in Portland be cause you have so many miles of wooden wharves. If a rat, perhaps In fected with plague, gets ashore, he can easily gnaw or burrow his way through wood. In fact, wooden walls are no barrier for rats at alL Every new wharf in Portland should be made of concrete and the old ones replaced with concrete as soon, as possible. As long as the way is open for a single plague-infected rat to get ashore, sooner or later there Is a probability f bubonic plague in the city." Portland's Growth Amaxes. Dr. Blue was stationed in Portland In 1899 and 1900, and he expressed amazement yesterday at the strides the city has taken since that time. Its population when he came here in 1899 was less than 90.000. At that time Dr. Blue was managing editor of the Medi cal Sentinel, published by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. Dr. Coe yesterday was host to Dr. Blue and to Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, president of the City and County Medical Society, at luncheon in the Arlington Club. Dr. Blue is a brother of Rear-Admiral Blue. United States Xavv chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Dr. Blue will go this morning to Astoria to in spect the Federal quarantine station there, and will leave Portland tomor row night on return to Washington, by way of Seattle. He will make inspec tions at quarantine stations en route and expects to be in Washington by Chang's words, as expressed by the in terpreter. O, M. Clark spoke briefly, testify Ing to the sincerity of tb friendship expressed by the Chinese, both on the present visit and on the occasion of his visit to China. William D. Wheelwright emphasized the need of better shipping facilities between America and tba Orient, and severely castigated the legislative pol-, ieies that serve further to cripple American shipping and further to drive the American flag from the seas. Hopes of evr Repnblle Told. David Z. T. Yui, the honorary sec retary of the commission, explained some of the hopes and purposes of the new Chinese Republic. Captain Robert Dollar was called upon by the toastmaster to speak im promptu. Chi-cheh Nieh, vice-chairman of the Chinese commission, closed the pro gramme with a speech in which he ex pressed feelingly his admiration for the United States. "The American home life, I believe, "Sh--w-v. .... if 4 I E J I t t A f t f V -4 T ft" Dr. Rtert Bine Sureeon-Oeqerai of t'nlted States Health Serv ice, h AVara Acaliutt Itftt wu$ Carriers of Bubonic IMagrue CHINESE GUESTS AT DINNER (Continued From Flrat Page.) promptly, but no more promptly than the Chinese visitors themselves. The five-colored flag of the new Chinese Republic was intertwined with the Stars and Stripes at conspicuous places about the room and were the in spirations of many of the most elo quent remarks of the evening. Official Welcome Given. In the unavoidable absence of Gov ernor Withycombe, C. C. Colt, presi dent of the Chamber and toastmaster. presented Representative S. B Huston, who extended the official welcome of the state to the visitors. He empha sized the desire of the American peo ple to attain and maintain the friend-, chip of the people of China and ex pressed the hope that the present visit will be followed by many others and by the frequent interchange of visits between representatives of the two nations, out of which will spring new trade relations of mutual advantage. United States Senator Lane spoke both as a representative of the Federal Government and as a citizen ofthe state of Oregon. Senator Cites Cherries. Senator Lane had concluded and Mr. Colt was introducing the next speaker when the Senator arose and inter rupted. Reaching out to the center of the table, he extracted from a dish of fruit a handful of familiar Bing cherries, which he held aloft, exclaim ing: "See those cherries? They are Bings. How many of you know that they were originated and propagated right here, in Oregon hy a Chinaman named Bing. That is one of the many things that we owe to the Chinese." The Chinese banqueters led in the generous applause that followed. Lee Hong, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Portland, congratulated the visiting Chinese upon the approaching successful conclusion of their journey and expressed the pleasure of the Chinese residents of Portland in their ability to assist in the entertainment. Mr. Chans Imprrsord. Lechl Cht interpreted Mr. Chang's utterances as expressing great pleas ure at the demonstration of friend ship given by the people of Portland. Mr. Chang, he said, was particularly impressed with the Portland schools, its banking institutions and its wheat and its lumber exports. "While our stay is short, our friend ship should be undying,' were Mr. is the salvation of democracy and the secret of the success of America in commerce and industry," he Said. "America has won the whole world over, not because of a strong navy and great. army, or because she has con quered nations and seized territory, has slain hundreds of thousands of men and made millions captive; it is by standing for peace, justice and hu manity that your nation has made itself grand and beautiful." The visitors were escorted to their special train immediately after the close of the banquet and departed at midnight for San Francisco, where they will embark for the return to China.

White returned yesterday from Gigling. near Monterey, Cal.. where he attended the encampment of Battery A. Oregon Na tional Guard, and Battery B of the Sixth United States field artillery. This was the first of the joint en campments conducted by the artillery and the success attending this ex periment, it is believed, will lead to similar encampments with this branch of the regular Army and the militia of other states. The Oregon artillery, in command of Captain Helme, had charge of the horses and equipment of the regulars and in ten days of hard work demon strated their ability to meet every re quirement of field service. They en gaged also in target practice with shrapnel and at varying distances up to 8000 yards made excellent records. Incidentally, the place upon which they were encamped, was filled with rattlesnakes and every day a score or more of big black diamonds one of the most deadly of the species was killed. None of the men waa bitten, however. The presence of the Oregon battery and General White at the California camp was requested by the War De partment. The regular battery was brought up from the Mexican border, where it had been on duty for several months. It is believed that a perma nent camp of this type will be es tablished soon for annual Joint maneu vers for the National Guard organiza tions of Western states. CITY TESTS JITNEYS Examinations of Drivers and Cars Are Begun. PERMIT APPLICATIONS FEW Hock Island to Issue Bonds. CHICAGO. June 28. Judge Carpenter, in the United States District Court, this afternoon authorized the issuance by receivers for the Chicago, Rock Is land &' Pacific Railway Company of $3,500,000 5 per cent receivers' cer tificates to take car of interest due July 1 on certain underlying bonds. Time of Enforcement of Uv Is in Doubt As Result of Restraining Order Issued by Court. Inspection to Be Often. Inspection of the mechanical parts of automobiles to be used as jitneys and examination of jitney drivers to de termine their ability to drive safely was started yesterday by C. S. Gallup, who was appointed municipal Jitney inspector last week by City Commis sioner Daly. A half dozen jitneys were Inspected and the drivers exam ined during the day. Upon making application for a per mit to operate a jitney the jitney driv er is instructed to take his car to the City Hall, where the jitney inspector has an office. Here the inspector ex amines carefully the working parts of the car to see that everything t-ssentlal to the safety of the machine is in proper condition. The wheels, axles, steering gear, brakes and all other parts receive a careful examination. Driver's Ability Ia Tested. After this the Jitney driver i3 in structed to take the inspector for a ride. During a trip of a mile or two the driver is examined carefully to determine his ability to handle the car properly. He is required to make quick tops and turns, and his knowledge of the city's traffic rules and regulations is tested in various ways. At the close of the official test of the ear and the driver, the driver is conducted to the City Hall, where he takes a second examination to deter mine his driving ability. He must tell where he has worked in the automo bile game, how long he has driven and for whom, and just what his qualifi cations are for driving. ' If the driver succeeds in passing the examination, he receives a permit to operate. The permit is subject to rev ocation. The jitney inspector plans to inspect every car in the service at least once a month and is to watch the drivers carefully to see that they con tinue proper operation. Enforcement May Be Delayed, The issuance of the permit, which Is preceded by the making of the inspec tions and . examinations, is the only feature of tha Jitney ordinance the jit ney inspector is to enforce. The rest of the provisions of the measure are up to the police, it is considered. The fact that there have been so few Jitney drivers apply for a permit is thought to be due to the test case which was before Circuit Judge Gan tenbein and which was decided yesterday. Inasmuch as the Judge issued a tem porary restraining order against en forcement of tha measure pending an appeal to the Supreme Court, it is un certain what will be done by the city. It was planned at first to enforce the ordinance in all its provisions com mencing July 1. The decision of the court will necessitate deferring the date, in all probability.

"JUST HALF WAY" WINS MONKEY DELIGHTS YOUAGSTliUS AT EMPRESS. f Carl Itelter, ex-Manager of Orphean In Seattle, Meet With Favor. . Other Entertainers Please. "Just Half Way" goes all the way as a vaudeville headliner on the Em press this week. Nothing about this remarkably clever and delightful play let is half way but its title. It is full measure in humor, in delicate maneu vers of plot' in its sense and interest and assuredly full measure and brim ming over in the artistry of its two players, John Gardner and Helen Val lely. Tha little story tells of a person ally conducted tour of soul-saving. and it's mighty clever in the telling. Gardner is a real comedian and illss Vallely is charming and talented. All the royal nibs are not at war. A few kings and emperors may be at each other's throats over in Europe, but one of them has taken a term off and is playing an engagement over the Empress time. This week he is fea tured in Portland. He is Maximilian the Great, and he can do more things than any monkey and lots of things no man can do. Maximilian eats and drinks at table with nicer manners than most little hnVR. and he winds ud his meal with a regular smoke and a pantomime discussion with his trainer, who assists as the waiter. Alaximilian goes to bed, too. in a big pink bed. and he gets ready for it in a true-to- life way. Then he has a stack of tricks that delight young and old. Best of all, he apparently loves his work and displays marvelous intelligence and amazingly quick action. Carl Relter has jumped from a place as Orpheum manager in Seattle and landed on both feet squarely in public favor in the Empress circuit. He is a delightful entertainer, a raconteur of ability, his Hebrew stories are new and sparkle with humor. His act went great yesterday. The Elks duo, a maid and a man. sing nicely In ragtime and opera. The Bartelles open the bill with a comedy acrobatic act featuring a sen sational somersault while seated in a chair, and Monroe Tabor and Fred Green have an inspired act of melody. These two chaps are colored entertain ers who have natural melody in their voice and a knowledge of comedy. One of them is a rattling good pianist and both sing excellently.
