REPEAL TO BE SOUGHT
AdvisoVy Committee Allows Peti-

, Parental Home Circuit
j. Court Expenses Viewed.
V 'Multnomah County suffers from too
much interference from the Legislature,
Bay members of the county budget-advisory
committee.
r This comment -was brought forth
"VVednesday night, when the committee
met to consider the budget estimates
01 various county departments.
It was when the budget of the Juve
nile court was under consideration that
this situation seemed to impress Itself
most firmly upon the members of. the
committee. The budget showed, a
elight increase over the expenditures
of the current yean and the commit
teemen sought the reason.
This brought them into touch with
the state Jaw on the subject which
provides for at least nine employes in
the juvenile court and fixes their
maximum salaries.
: "But it's a shame," declared J. N.
Teal, chairman of the committee, "the
way thie county is restricted in the ex
orcise of home rule."
' Frank Klernan, another member of
the committee, suggested that Multno
mah County send a delegation to the
next Legislature pledged to a repeal of
all laws that needlessly interfere with
the prerogatives of the county.
: Meanwhile S. B. Martin, County Audi
tor, and a member of the advisory com
mittee, will prepare a summary of all
such laws.
The committee disposed of a lot of
work last night, cleaning up the whole
docket that Assessor Henry Reed and
one of the committee members had
prepared.
The routine was broken, however, by
the appearnce of a delegation of women
seeking appropriations for a proposed
dental clinic and for a "parental home''
that they propose that the county shall
establish and maintain on the old
bounty poor farm on the Canyon road.
.ludKe T. .1. Cleeton gave his approval
to tlie plans.
Jj Why the expenditures for the Circuit
Courts have been a round 5100.000 for
the last few years was a question that
suggested itself in connection with
those departments. The estimates were
ot allowed, pending a report from the
County Auditor on the precise amount
that the courts have cost in the last
"(ew years.
A letter was read from President
Lewis, of the Multnomah County Fair
Association, asking for an appropria
tion of 13500. Mr. Teal didn't think
it good county policy to appropriate
money for any "boosting" organiza
tion. Neither did Amos Benson or A.
W. Jones. The fair association finally
was allowed $1500.
i Sheriff Hurlburt was nrooont
plained his proposed expenditures,
which, on the face, are larger than
4nst year. Based on the same service
trequired last year the Sheriff's pro
posed expenditures for the next year
are lower. The following items in the
heriff's budget then were allowed:
K'ourity Jail and board of prisoners,
SjHO.560; administration, $40,580.
Other items allowed last night were
fjuvenile Court, $15,480; detention
;Jomc. N$ll,605; widows' pension relief

V SOtTTH BETHLEHEM. Pa., Nov. 11.
s Fir virtually, destroyed tho Mo. 4
machine shop of the Bethlehem Steel
Company here Wednesday.
No official statement as to the loss
caused by the fire had been given out
up to a late hour tonight. . Unofficial
estimates placed the damage between
$1,000,000 and $4,000,000. with many
persons who viewed the . damage ex
pressing the opinion that even the lat
ter amount was too small. They called
attention to the fact that the building
destroyed recently was reconstructed
and equipped win new machinery at a
cost of $3,000,000 and that SOU guns and
large quantities of other war material
in process of manufacture either were
destroyed or badly damaged.
A number of gun carriages of a con
signment of several hundred which
were completed and which were to
have been shipped to England today
were dragged out safely, but the ma
jority of them were destroyed. Es
timates placed on this material by
many observers ran as high as $2,000,
000, and it was said that little of it
escaped destruction or damage beyosd
repair. ' -
The guns were being made for the
entente allies and for the United States
Government.
The company issued a statement that
the fire was due to a crossed eleqtric
light wire circuit which ignited oil in
the boring mill. ''

Three realty transactions of more
than - ordinary importance were con
eluded in Portland Wednesday1, includ
ing the sale of two apartment build

location of a third apartment.
A contract was effected between J. O.
Elrod, a Portland capitalist, and M. C.

becomes the owner of the three-story
frame Beryl apartment building on the
north side of Lovejoy street, between

The building covers 55-by 100 feet, or
about one-half of the site. This build
ing was traded recently to Spores
brothers by H. L. Camp, who' accepted
title to a large Lane County ranch. As
consideration for the Beryl apartment,
Mr. Elrod will give title to a large
wheat ranch in Eastern Washington.
Each of the parcels was placed in the
trade at a valuation of $50,000.
The two-story brick Frances build

TTJE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER
ECONOMY IS URGED
Peer Says Britain Must Cur
tail to Preserve Solvency.
FORCED LOAN PREDICTED
Waste, Extravagance and Reckless
Expenditure in Connection With
Military Affairs Charged
In Debate by Lords. .
LONDON, Nov. 11. In the course of
ine aeoate in the House of Lords to
night, on a motion of Viscount Peel,
declaring it-to be the duty of a gov
ernment to exercise more effective
supervision and control of naval and
military expenditure. Baron Davenport
said the country could not go on as it
had been going indefinitely and 'main
tain financial solvency. The Marquis
of Crewe. Lord President of the Coun
cil, who replied, said that the main
bulk of the expenditure was on account
of the importation of munitions and
loans to the allies and the British do
mains. . '
Lord Peel, in support of his motion,
said that the figures which were given
as to the expenditure on war and civil
establishments for -a full year ap
proached nearly to the aggregate
amount of the income of the nation.
Economy Example Not Set.
He doubted whether the government
was sufficiently serious in enforcing
economy, rne government had acted
only half-heartedly in restricting the
excess of imports, and while it was ad
vising the nation to practice economy
there was no evidence that the gov
ernment was setting an example in
economy.
Lord. Davenport thought it likely
that the government would have to re
sort to a forced loan.
"Wo cannot go on indefinitely and
maintain our financial solvency," he
said. - He estimated the country im
ported frjm $250,000,000 to $300,000,000
worth of goods which could be done
without. The government, he urged,
should have courage to recast the sys
tem of separation allowances so that
no family should have more than it re
ceived before the war.
Finances Cause Anxiety.
Baron Joicy, who is a large colliery
owner, said he had no hesitation in
saying that the financial situation at
the present time was causing a great
deal of anxiety. The government, he
declared, did not seem really to grasp
the financial position, the waste, ex
travagance and reckless expenditure
taking place throughout the country in
connection with military affairs.
In reply the Marquis of Crewe said
everybody realized the national strain
imposed by the war. The question of
the taxation of luxuries had been con
sidered, but the taxation of some of
these articles would involve changes in
the. .customs department which would
cost more than the additional amount
collected. It had been impossible, be
said, to maintain treasury control of
the War Office expenditures, where se
rious delay might be caused, but the
financial council of the war had strictly
supervised the expenditures.
THAW MAY MARRY AGAIN
Pittsburger Denies He Seeks to Wed
Schoolteacher.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Harry K.
Thaw found a Pennsylvania school
teacher visiting the Panama-Pacific
Exposition a few weeks ago, who told
him that the bright lights as well as
the red lights sully womanhood. His
associates say he wants to marry her,
and she is more than willing as soon
as he can get a divorce from Evelyn
Thaw.
That may have been the explanation
of Thaw's unexpected arrival, alone,
from Pittsburg. He registered at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
He was alone only until shortly after
the next train from Pittsburg reached
New York. Then H. J. Rice, whom the
Thaws have described as "Harry's sec
retary," rushed into the Waldorf. Soon
thereafter Val O'Farrell and Norman J.
Fitzslmmons, detectives, joined Thaw.
Rice remained by him constantly, and
the local men did not leave him until
the train aboard which Thaw began
his return journey to Pittsburg had
passed far beyond the boundaries of
this state.
Thaw, on his way to the train for
Pittsburg, denied that he is considering
marriage with the Pennsylvania school
teacher.
Thaw may become a hero of the
movies, according to his friends, who
say he has been asked to sign a con
tract with one of the largest film pho
tograph producing concerns.
The company seeks to present the
story of Thaw, Evelyn Thaw, and the
other characters in the tragedy of his
life. Evelyn Thaw did not know her
husband had been in New York until
he hud been gone from the city two
hours, and she had concluded her danc
ing sketch with Jack Clifford in a local
theater.
WOMAN CURES ANTHRAX
Doctor's Wife Applies Antiseptic,
Which Effects a Cure.
BEXBOW CITY, 111., Nov. 7. Dr. J.
C. Helper, who a month, ago was
stricken with anthrax, was pronounced
cured by his attending physician.: His
wife was largely instrumental in bring
ing about his cure. Throughout the
greater part of his illness she ap
plied, at 15-minute intervals, an an
tiseptic treatment to a wound pn the
physician's neck. . which had been
caused by the disease.
Dr. Helper believes he contracted the
disease from a mosquito bite. For a
week both he and the physician in
charge of the case held faint hope of
his recovery.
The only permanent ill effect left by
the disease is a three-inch- scar on
r. Helper's neck, where the flesh had
been eaten away.
GERMAN PARCELS, STOPPED
Service to America Suspended Be
cause of British Interference.
BERLIN. Nov. 11. (By wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) The suspension of the
parcel post service from Germany to
America is explained in official circles
as having been due to the fact that the
Holland-American line informed the
German authorities it was unable
longer to carry parcels owing to the
interference of the British.
Parcel post traffic from the United
States to Germany, however, has not
been interrupted. - y :

Which Supports Standing Army
, . Is Advocated.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11. In an' address
here last night at a banquet of the Na
tional Security League. William How
ard Tart, ex-President of the United
States, declared himself in favor of
military preparedness and said:
"Do not let us sacrifice National se
curity to an academic theory or the
wish to vindicate it."
Mr. Taft said he found himself,, with
regard to his views on preparedness
somewhere between Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Roosevelt. Regarding pacificism, he
said:
"Nations certainly have not reached
the point yet where they are not will
ing, wnen the occasion offers, to take
advantage of the weakness of another
nation to carry out a policy of aggran
dizement." He argued for a navy equal to the
greatest present navy of any world
power which supports a standing army
and for Improved coast defenses. He
also declared for an increase of the
army to 100,000 men exclusive -of the
Philippine constabulary and said that
In time of peril a sufficient number of
volunteers could be raised, while the
enlarged fleet and improved coast de
fenses : were holding off an attacking
enemy. ,-
Mr. Taft told newspaper men that he
was out of politics, and added:
"As a citizen I may say without
qualification that Elihu Root, of New
York, is the one man who answers the
requirements of the time for the Presi

publican victory in 1916.

1. MERRICK EXPLAINS
DIFFERENCE OVER BLUE LAW SAID
TO BE CAUSE OF EXPULSION.
Honorary Member of Portland Grocers'
Association Says Opposition to
Statute Brought Action.
Difference arising over the campaign
for the enforcemest of the Sunday blue
law was the immediate cause of the
expulsion of L. R. Merrick and A. Kel
ler from honorary membership in the
Portland Grocers' and Merchants' As
sociation, according to Mr. Merrick.
"I was opposed to the enforcement
of the law," said Mr. Merrick.
Mr. Merrick Is secretary of the Ore
gon Retail Merchants' Association,
which has 3500 members in the state,
he says. -
"Our expulsion,", said Mr. Merrick,
"was an obvious frameup on the part
of Robert G. Duncan, assistant secre
tary, in order to get control of the
Oregon association. At the last con
vention of the state merchants Duncan
was a candidate for secretary, but was
turned down, and 1 was elected unan
imously." Mr. Merrick has a copy of a long let
ter of resignation which he addressed
to President W. C. Gunther, of the Port
land association, on November 2, some
time before his expulsion. The letter,
he says, was not even read at the meet
ing. In It Mr. Merrick said he did not
want to hold honorary membership in
any organization against the wishes
of any of its members. He also set
forth his opposition to the Sunday
blue l?w aw one of the reasons for the
