THE MORNING OREG OXIAT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1915. 11 I w r t 1, 1 BUDGET HEARING IN PUBLIC TO BE FRIDAY Lively Session Expected as Disputed Items Must Be . Settled Definitely. f LARGE ATTENDANCE LIKELY School Medical Inspection Probably Will Be Hotly Debated as Effort 1 to Eliminate It Last Tear liaised Storm of Protest. no more tusEle arid the City Council w-ill finish with the 1916 budget of es timated expenditures and fix the tax levy for the year. The final budgret affray will be Friday at 2 o'clock, at which time the publie will be heard at an open budgret meeting at the City Hall. Members of the Council are looking; for a lively session because of the im portance of matters decided by the Council in a. manner not satisfactory to many people and Interests of the city. The Council must settle the budget definitely Friday and not only adopt it but fix the tax levy. It will be the eleventh hour. The- principal tussle will be over the question of school medical inspection. It is said many women's organizations and civic bodies and the medical pro fession BeneraJly are up in arms against the plan of doing: away with this inspection in the schools. As the case Btands. Mayor Albee and Commis sioner Dieck are in favor of continuing the service, while Commissioners Baker, Bigelow and Daly have voted to abol ish it. Mr. Daly admitted yesterday that he is wavering on his stand, and a. change in his vote may come to the rescue of the inspection service. The school Inspection service consists of examinations of school children for symptoms of disease which might be contagious or might affect the physical or mental ability of the child. In case of Bickness the child is sent home, either by the inspector of the teacher, and the inspector or some other physi cian visits the home and ascertains the trouble. Many Vialta Recorded. While not all children sent home are visited In this way by a school inspec . tor many of them are. On October 22 Dr. Abele. one of the inspectors, made II visits Tf this kind. It is reported by the City Health Officft that the number of house visits of this kind will aver age about 75 for the four inspectors. In addition, a- school nurse visits the homes and assists in caring for disease rases and gives advice as to the care of children. This position also has been eliminated. An effort to abolish school inspection was made by the Council a year ago but failed when at the public meeting of the Council to consider the budget finally a big delegation representing women s organizations put up a bitter fight. The City and County Medical Society has protested, against abolish- ingthe inspection. ... Insurance. Itajtea May Go X'p. A fuss is expected over the decision of the Council to abolish the fire sta tion at Sixteenth and Washington streets. It has been announced by 11. P. Boardman. of the Equitable Fire Hating- Bureau, that the removal of this station means an increase in fire in surance rates in that vicinity. The Hoard of Kire Chiefs, comprising Fire Chief Dowell, the assistant chiefs. Fire Marshal Stevens and the battalion chiefs are all bitterly opposed to the abandonment of the station. They say it will mean the injury of fire service in a district which needs fire protec Hon probably more than any other sec tion of the city. There may bo more troubje over the flecision of tno 'ouncn to go ahead with the proposed public auditorium. The Council majority reserved the right to decide to discontinue operations on the structure if proper need for such action could be shown. Just what will happen in this connection Is uncertain. The budget estimates in detail will be advertised tomorrow for the benefit of those attending the public session Friday. As the budget stands now' it Includes (without the dock levy) a total levy of 8.3 mills. This is compared wltv fi.n.i mils for the present year, an in crease of 1.35 mils. With the dock lew which has always been included in the city levy heretofore, the city levy for next year would te 8.913 mills, as com pared with 7.5 mills for this year. MM STUDYING SPANISH HAY AMD NIGHT CLASSES SHOW TREMENDOUS GROWTH. Jlelfrf That Commercial Opportunities in South America Will Be Great, Ascribed nu Reason. Never in the history of the city' educational system has there been such a keen interest in the study of the Spanish lancuace. This thirst for the knowledge of Spanish is supposed to be due to the widespread talk of com mercial opportunities in South America and it is presumed that those who hope to take advantage of them must acquire facility iu the language of the country before they can make much progress. Night school classes In Spanish are crowded, while day classes in this language also have a large attendance. The demand for Spanish became so great that the school authorities es tablished day classes in it during the second term of last year. The night schools taught it previously. It has berome an established part of the scnooi curriculum. Registration has grown amazinglv untii now in the day school there are 35 in the class at Franklin High, 120 at Jefferson High, 74 at Lincoln High and 65 at Washington High. The night schools show large attend ance oy opanisn students. The fol lowing registrations have been made: Uncoln High. 250; Jefferson High. 75; Arlcta. 30. This is, of course, in addi tion to a number of private classes throughout the city. The Library . is being besieged by Spanish students desiring Spanish literature and the bookstores are having many calls for books In Spanish liven last year a leading bookseller of tho city said his company could hardly keep up its supply of Spanish books nnd this year the demand Is greater 111 H.n ever. SCHOOL GETS JOB BUREAU air. Alderman Flans Aid to Night Students by Those Employed. Superintendent I. K. Alderman, of the city schools, has started an innovation at tho night schools that may have cod- siueruue eiieci in relieving unemploy ment. He has inaugurated an employ ment bureau for the benefit of students out of work who desire to obtain positions. Ha suggested at recent nirht rlxsaei that students who are employed bring lists of positions open or about to be open and those who want employment were directed to register with the teachers In charge of tho various night classes, so that any vacancies might be filled in this way. It is Superintendent Alderman's be lief that none is in such a good position to help the workers wfat want positions as the workmen themselves, as they learn at once of places that are vacant throughout the city's industrial and commercial activities. The plan will be f LATE TENNESSEE JfATTVfc OREGON PIONEER OF 1853. ' ) ' ' ','", - " ? f At - ' fit 5 i j Mrs. Nancy J. Robertson. Mrs. Nancy J. Robertson, who died on November 1 in Yamhill County, at the home of her son, T. B. Robertson, was a pioneer of 1853. Mm, Robertson (Nancy Jane Arnette) was born In Ten nessee 89 years ago. Her family moved to Missouri and she was married in 1843 to W. I. Robert son. They crossed the plains in 1853, settling first in Lane Coun ty. In 1862 tho Robertsons went to Tamhill County to live. They had nine children, five of whom are living B. W. Robert son, of McMinnvIlle; T. B. and William Robertson, of Yamhill; A. J. Robertson, of Alaska, and Mrs. B. T. Burton, of San Fran cisco.

NATIONAL PARK IS ASKED FORESTER I'RGED TO PRESERVE LOST LAKE DISTRICT. GREATER AID IS PLAN Religious Work Commander Confers With Board. HOME FOR GIRLS TO GROW Frani X. Arena, Mualcal Director of New York Symphony Orchestra, la Behind Move. A movement is on foot to interest Chief Forester Graves, of the Federal Forestry Service, in throwing Lost Lake, near the foot of Mount Hood, into a National park reserve and sav ing it from destruction as a scenic fea ture, through the logging-off of the lands about it. Franz X. Arens, musical director of the Symphony Orchestra of New York, has written to the Chief Forester out lining the situation and asking that the matter be investigated and steps taken to save the lake. The matter is also being agitated among citizens of Portland and Hood River, where Mr. Arens has his Summer home, and has been laid before T. H. Sherrard. in the local office of the Forestry Serv ice, who has considered it favorably. In his letter to Mr. Graves Mr. Arens says that the City of Portland appar ently is willing to relinquish its front age on the lake to the Government and that the Government already holds considerable frontage. The re mainder of tho lakeshore, however, is the property of the Oregon Lumber Company, Mr. Arens urges that if an agree ment is made with the Oregon Lum ber company it can well be arranged for them to relinquish their property around Lost Lake and to take other property, offering better logging fa cilities iu other regions. He suggests that it can easily be made a portion of the great National Park proposed to be established along the Columbia Highway. Volunteers of America Disease Fu ture Methods With Colonel Nellie E. Duncan Directors to Have Charge of Properties. At a conference between the advisory board of the Volunteers of America and Colonel Nellie M. Duncan, regimental commander of the Volunteers of Ameri ca for the Pacific Coast, held at the administration building. East Seventh and East Ash streets, yesterday, plans were adopted for the re-organization of the board, by which it w'll receive leg-jl- control of the property of the Volunteers held in Portland, Including the Maud B. Booth Home for Young Women, East Seventh and East Ash streets. According to the nroeramme adnnted at the conference, B. Lee Paget, chair man of the advisory board, will draw articles of incorporation which will give the directors charge of the prop erty subject to the general policy of the organization. The Portland advisory board has been made up of B. Lee Paget, L. A. Lewis, H. L Corbett, K. K. Kubli, Rev. E. H. Mowre, Dr. E. F. Tucker, John S. Beal, I. N. Flelschner and Mrs. Frances P. Larrabee. Benefits of Work Cited. "The Volunteers of America are do ing a great work among young women and for the children and expect to en large." aald Colonel Duncan, "and this home in Portland is one of tho fine institutions we maintain. "At this home young women find the comforts and protection of a, -real home at the nominal cost of J3 a week. One of our important works is to find employment for -young girls and to take care and protect young girls com ing from the country to Portland. . "Major Stark, in charge here, has had a field worker in this state for some years. Laura Jones .who looks after the girls coming to Portland. "Our nursery here is an important work, and Major Stark plans to en large that work. She hopes to obtain a piece of land near a railway, where children can be placed. We make a specialty of work among and for chil dren, and at San Francisco have a 10 acre farm where 100 children are kept. Employment Plana Discussed. "Our advisory board discussed plans for obtaining employment for young girls who are in the home and the board will co-operate with the civic bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce in this particular branch. Wte are doing a great deal for young women in Portland. Girls out of em ployment are kept at this home the same as if they paid their way and work is found for them. "The only difficulty is that the home is too small. It should take care of 150 girls, and no doubt in time will be enlarged to cover this entire quar ter block." Colonel Duncan will be in Portland today and attend a luncheon to be given in Montavilla by the members of the old Taylor-street Church, who de sire to assist the Volunteers of Amer ica. -She will deliver an address and outline plans for their work. Tonight she leaves for San Francisco. Defaulting Postmaster Surrenders. A TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 9.

Scharne, Pend ing; Good Behavior. rTlHERE'S luck in odd numbers," re- JL marked Circuit Judge Morrow from the bench. "Therefore I'll fine you $17.73. J. E. Sharps heard these words in silence. He had just suffered a change of heart. After being convicted in Municipal Court of driving an auto mobile while intoxicated, and being sentenced 10 10 aays in jail, be had ap pealed to the Circuit Court. Judge Morrow looked like, a kind-hearted magistrate and Sharpe decided to plead Kuilty. . "And," continued the judge after an nouncing the fine, "proceeding further along Rory O'Moore's famous theory, I wm sentence you to J6 days In jail." ' Sharpe winced. "However." the judge went on. un til you are found again driving an auto mobile while you are intoxicated, the jail sentence witl be suspended. The line must be paid." Sharpe assured Judge Morrow that he had sold his autoimobile and had en gaged in another line of business. After the courtroom was cleared. Juage Morrow turned to win Sugart his clerk. "Tou'vo heard Burns' poem, haven't you: There's luck in odd numbers says Kory u Moore. The judge chuckled and went into his chambers to write a letter to man telling him if he didn't pav his ! alimony ne. would be jailed. WIFE SHOOTER KILLS SELF Seattle Woman Who Refuses to Take Poison Has Chance to Recover. BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. S. (Spe--cial.) A. Carey, of Seattle, fired five shots into his wife's body following a quarrel in a fiotel at-Mount Vernon early this morning and then killed him self. The woman, who may reco-ver, said that her husband attempted to force her to drink a bottle of poison at the point of a revolver and when she refused to do so he shot her. Carey had recently been employed on a dairy rinch near Mount Vernon BLOOD THE SEAT OF DISEASE An1 eminent authority on nervous dis eases has announced that the blood is the seat of all disease.
