A deputation of property owners in the vicinity of Capitol Hill and mem bers of the Parent-Teacher Associa tion of the southeast district com plained of the cramped conditions of the schools in their respective districts. The plea of the Capitol Hill people for permanent school buildings next year will be given consideration by the building grounds committee. The Parent-Teacher Association mem bers from the vicinity of the proposed j location of the new Franklin High! complained of the congested, condition of the present school and asked the! Board to include in the 1916 budget sufficient appropriations to take care of more than the immediate needs of the community. Assurance was given the deputation that every consideration was being , given the Franklin High School and that approximately $140,000 had already been appropriated for the tirst unit. It was declared that plans for the new Franklin High had so been arranged that a gymnasium would per haps be unnecessary, sufficient grounds being available for extensive outdoor exercise. ' Audited claims to the extent of $151, 14:1.55 were ordered paid. The Board decided to allow the Lincoln High equipment to be used by the Portland teachers in their study of the arts and crafts work, the in structor to be provided by the teachers. Bids were opened for concrete work to be done at Glencoe, Rose City Park and Portsmouth schools. F. A. Carlson submitted the lowest bid, $2577, for the work on the three schools. J. H.

Remainder of Bill Devoted to Dancing". Singing and Especially Good Acrobatics. Quite like the circus is Pantagres headline act this week. At least it is the best part of the circus. For aren't the bareback riders on the prancing, big, white steeds the heart and soul of the tent show? There are four snow white, spirited horses that dash around the sawdust ring on the stage while two clever equestrians, Holland and Dockrill, dance onto the backs of the running horses and back to the tan bark. They somersault and pose peril ously or their tippy toes; they ride two abreast, three abreast, four abreast. The pretty little girl in the fluffy span gled skirts climbs high on the man's shoulders and he drives the four horses in constantly changing positions around the ring. The act is daring and novel for vaudeville. The appearance of the Varsity Sere naders, a quartet of boys from the University of Oregon, is welcomed. Paul F. Sprague. Kay W. Stanton, Larry C. Mann and Heinrich Heidenreich are the singers, and their voices are really fine. In a repertoire chosen with close at tention to what vaudeville likes, this quartet offers a lot of 'close-harmony" and makes a great hit. The Gillespie Girls, all beauties, are full of pep and music of excellent order. They sing in duos, trios and four-os. Another four are the Rennees', from the land of France. Che girl is the leader and the other three interpret dances of five countries. Sol Berns takes a load off anybody's heart with his Hebrew comedy, his well-told stories and his song parodies. The Bimbos, nimble, harum-scarum comedy folk, open the bill with a pan tomime comedy acrobatic act. J. JL EPPING DIVORCED HOOD RIVER VOCALIST MAKES NO DEFENSE TO ACTION. Wife, Charging Cruelty, Gets Decree, Custody of Tkree Children, and $40 Monthly Alimony. Emma Elizabeth Epping was granted a divorce from J. Adrian Epping, for mer prominent Portland vocal teacher-, now a rancher of Hood River, by Cir cuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday. She gets alimony of $40 a month and the custddy of three minor children, Rholis, Carl and Elizabeth. The grounds on which the decree was obtained are systematic cruelty, cou pled at times with actual physical vio lence. Except to file a demurrer, which was overruled by consent of both parties, the defendant made no appear ance in the case. Only the testimony of Mrs. Epping and one other witness was taken, both briefly. The Eppings have been residing at Hood River for the past ten years. Prior to that time they were prominent in musical circles in Portland. They were married in 1894. Mrs. Epping'a maiden name was Rholis, and she is the daughter of a pioneer steamboat man.

LIABILITY CONCERN HELD BROWN - M'CABB COMPANY WINS SUIT REGARDED IMPORTANT. Insurtns Oreanlzatlon Held for Dam aies Caused Through Delay In Settling: Claim. The important point that a liability company which has contracted with a firm to insure its employes against accident is liable not only to the full extent of its policy but to all additional damages as well when its refusal to live up to its contract enables an in jured employe to collect damages from the firm, was established by Federal Judge Bean yesterday. The point is one of much interest to lawyers, for Judge Bean's ruling is said to be the first ever made on the ques tion. Judge Bean gave the opinion when he overruled a demurrer by the de fendant in the case of the Brown'Mc Cabe Company, stevedores, against the London Guarantee & Accident Com pany, of London. Lawyers for the Brown-McCabe Company said it had been agreed with attorneys for the liability company that the decision on the demurrer should settle the case. The Brown-McCabe Company was in sured with the London Company against accident to its employes to the extent of $5000 when William Gynther, a longshoreman, was injured while in its employment some years ago. Gynther agreed to settle for $3000, but the liability company instead of paying, demanded that the Brown-McCabe Com pany pay half, according to the com plaint. Tiring of the resulting delay, Gynther sued the Brown-McCabe Com pany for damages and collected $12,000. The liability company then had to pay the $5000 for which the stevedoring firm had been insured on Gynther, but the Brown-McCabe Company had to pay the other $7000 and costs and sued to recover this sum. Judge Bean in dismissing the de murrer of the liability company ruled that it was not only liable for the original amount of the insurance, but for all additional damages which its action had cost the insured firm. Ralph E. Moody and A. Walter Wolf Repre sented the plaintiff and Griffith, Leiter & Allen the defendant. DENVER TRAMWAY LOSING Receipts in 1915 .Less Than Those For 1914 and Dividend Passed. It is apparent that $ W. Hild. who recently resigned the office of general manager of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to become general manager of the Denver Tram way Company, will face financial con ditions in his new position no better than those which he left. At a recent meeting of the directors of the Denver Tramway Company the quarterly dividend of one-half of 1 per cent, which has been paid by its hold ing concern, the Denver & Northwest ern Railway Company, was discon tinued in the best interests of the com pany and the Interests as well of Its stock and bondholders. A statement made by the chairman of the board of directors shows that in the three months ending1 September 30 the total .operating revenues of the tramway were $796,604, as against $851, 808 for the corresponding period last year.

BROKE HIMSELF OF SMOKING CIGARETTES A St. Louis Man Broke Himself of Smoking Cigarettes and Chewing by a Simple Home Remedy. Harry Rifka. a well-known resident living at 2016 S. 11th St., broke him self of the cigarette habit and chewing with a simple recipe that he mixed at home. In reply to the question as to what he used be made the following statement: "I used a simple recipe which I mixed at borne and which is as follows: To 3 oz. of 'water add 20 grains of Muriate of Ammonia, a small box of Varlex Compound and 10 grs. of Pepsin. I took a teaspoonful three times a day. Any druggist can mix it for you at very little ooet. This recipe can be taken yourself or given secretly to another in coffee, tea or milk or in food as it has no taste, color or smell and is perfectly i harmless." Adv. Evidence Used in Meal, but Fish Dealer Pleads Guilty. Gin Wins Admit Havlnc Under sized Sturgeon in HUt FoMmtn, bat Half of Fine la Returned. IF G1M WING, a Second-street fish dealer, had known what was going to happen to the damaging evidence perhaps he would not haVe pleaded guilty to the charge of having In his possession a sturgeon less than four feet in length the law's limit. Friday afternoon Wins; was taken Into uttody by Deputy Came Warden B. H. Clark for having an undersized sturgeon in his possession and the fish was confiscated and placed In the cold storage at the market of El. K. Russell, on Yamhill street. Russell, through a misunderstanding, considered that the case was closed and took the sturgeon home and ate it. When Gim Wing was brought for trial yesterday morning the evidence was conspicuous by Its absence. But Deputy Clark and F. M. Brown, clerk in the game warden's office, and Rus sell testified that the fish waa under sized and when Wing pleaded guilty to the charge the officers of the game warden's office were rather surprised. Wing was fined the minimum of S30 by Judge Jones, but half ot the fine wss returned. What would have happened had Wing's attorney known that the evi dence had been eaten by one of the witnesses?
