CRASHES SOUND WARNING Streets Uttered With Broken Limbo and In Some Places Passage Is IrapoanlbM Clinging; Rose Busbes Are Carried Down. Eitrnsive damace to shade trees of the city was reported last night. Num bers of fine trees bave been broken by the weicht of Ice and snow. An elm on the Corbett block opposite the post office fell over last night. On the Plaxa block between Jefferson and Madison streets 10 trees bad either toppled over lsat nlcht or had suffered the loss of a large part of their branches. A fine row of elms on Broadway, south of Jefferson atreet. were so weighted by Ire last nlcht thst the branchra nunc down within a few feet of the pavement In the center of Broad way so that they were a menace to autolsts. A red Isntern had been hung on the weighted branches of the trees nearest Jefferson street. The parkways between Salmon street and Myrtle at the foot of the Heights, filled as they were with great shade trees, suffered tremendously. Karly In the afternoon the formation of Ice on the limbe had weighed them down seriously and by o'clock the limbs were beginning to break off here and there. Although the side walks along ' the parkways were clesred from snow and offered easy waJklnc. the streets were deserted, no one caring to undergo the risk of being caught under a crashing branch. Throughout the evening and the nlcht all along the blocks there was the continuous ripping crash that told of another branch giving way under Ha burden. Tnrk street and West Park street were littered by I o'clock with broken branrhea. and In some places the street waa entirely blocked where an extra larce limb had fallen across It or where practically a whole tree had broken down across It. Acroaa from the FJrst Congreca tlonat Church, on Main and Weat Park, an elm tree In the park strip was practically uprooted and had fallen clear across the street. Trees that had been pruned within the past few years were stripped of the new growth of limbs, as one strips the husk off an ear of rorn. and the big bare trunks of the trees, glisten Inc with Ire. protruded sbove the wrerksge of shattered branches. Trees along Tenth street and along Brosdwsy In the same section suf fered equally. Clinclnc rose busies were carried down by lha Ice In sev eral plares. Some of these had been nurtured for years. ALL APPEALS ARE IN VAIN Mr. Baker Intercedes for Unem ployed, but Commissioner Daly Refnses to Stir Hand Until Condition Is Past Remedy. While 1000 unemployed men of fam ilies have walked the streets of Port land during the last week seeking work of any kind, they have been ruthlessly turned away at the City Hall when appealing for work clearing snow from the streets of the business district. Aa a result the snow which has been accumulating for a week or so turned to slush yesterday afternoon, and the thousands of men, women and children who had to get to streetcar lines or elsewhere slopped through ankle-deep water and sluh. Kesponslbillty rests with City Com missioner Dalt. who failed to take up the snow-clcarlrag work when Commis sioner Baker, by use of the unem ployed, finished removing the heavy snow which came Just prior to the present fall. When the first snow fell Commissioner Daly was 111, and Super intendent Donaldson of the street cleaning bureau was out of the city, so Commissioner Baker took off his coat and put the unemployed to work. The entire business district was cleaned so that when the first thaw cam "the streets were clear. When Commissioner Paly returned to his of fice and Mr. Donaldson returned to the city Mr. Baker turned the situa tion over to Mr. Daly, who has charge of the street-cleaning bureau. The snow began to fall a short time later, and except for the regular street cleaning crew no men were put to work. The storms have continued, and the amount of snow has got deeper almost dally, yet nothing has been done to clear It away. And this In spite of the fact that hundreds of unemployed have beniesed the City Hall daily In search of work and have pleaded for the city to start snow-cleaning opera tion. The appeals had no effect Yesterday, when the snow was nearly a foot deep and It was appar ent that the city would be In a deplor ahia condition as soon as the snow melted, plans were made by Mr. Daly for use of the unemployed. But the work was started too late, ana noming rnuid ho done. At every intersection the water and snow were ankle deep. It was Impossible even to keep the crosswalks clear. Men and women were compeled to walk through water and slush that reached above their shoetops. Commissioner Baker has been urging the employment of the unempioyea, and suggestions have been made to Mr. Daly repeatedly that the snow should be cleared, but they fell on deaf ears. "LAST'CHANCE" IS RAIDED Three 5Ien Are Arrested on Llquor Sclllng Charge. "Last Chance- may have been an ap propriate name. On Information secured by District Attorney Evans' office, a raid was con ducted yesterday on the Last Chance saloon at East Twenty-first and Powell Valley road, and the proprietors placed under arrest for conducting a blind Pis'. Halvatore Oattuccio and Rosarlo Gat tuccio were taken Into custody, and William LaMore was placed under bond. Deputy Sheriffs Ward and Phil lips, Deputy District Attorney Ryan and Special Agent Geren conducted the raid. Two sales of whisky are alleged In the last week at the Last Chance, where a near-beer emporium had been opened. BIRDS ARE SURVIVING COLD State Game Warden Says Condition Outside City Not Bad. Not many of the game birds of the state have been dying as a result of the recent cold weather, according to State Game Warden Carl D. Shoe maker, who has been receiving reports of conditions from his deputies in various parts of the state. Mr. Shoe maker said that the only class of birds which are dying extensively are the quail and song birds. "The Chinese pheasants are not suf fering very much," he said, "especially In the country, where they can find good shelter." Mr. Shoemaker said that some phea sants are dying In the outlying dis tricts of ""Portland. The Game Warden received a communication yesterday from one man near Riddle, who is feeding 87 quail in his barnyard. JAMES E. PARSON IS DEAD Resident of Oregon for 40 Years Succnmbs at Age of 68.

At 9 o'clock last night there were more ., ea ..t. rtf wire trouble, due to trees and poles falling, dilficulty with lights, lnsuiaiioii or " culties. Two SO.OOO-volt high-tension trans mission lines from the Clackamas River power plants went out within a few minutes of each other. The sleet broke the wire loose from the insulator on one line near Stanley station, and it was two hours before repairs could be msde. The other line was out all . . ,.nKi. ii.inr inmted somewhere between Sycamore and Barton stations. Snow was too aeep 10 ww 'w"'" last night, and the trouble will be at tended to today. Steam-powerplants in town were put Into action, and they Polishing ShihoiA carried a heavy load all night with, splendid results. Many Lights Go Out. Lights in the Lents district were out last night, and a number of arc light circuits were out at different places. The circut supplying the Riverdale dis trict was out of commission, and ono of the power feeders on the St. Johns line was out. For two hours durinsr the time the peak load was carried by the company in the early evening it was unable to supply the ralway from the Mount Tabor sub-station, but this was remedied later. Lights in tho Mount Tabor and Rose City Park dis tricts were out for two and a half hours in the early evening, but were restored later. The Southern Pacific line, which get3 current from the Portland Ralway. Light & Power Company at Oswego, was in difficulty late yesterday, and the United Railways lines were also In trouble. So numerous were the diffi culties of the power and lfghtng end of the Portland Railway. Light and Power Company last night that ens'" neers in charge announced it would probably require most of today to re pair the damage already sustained up to a late hour last night. Intei-urban Lines Operate. Interurban lines out of the city were in fairly good shape last night. Tho Oregon City line of the Portland Rail way, Light Sc. Power Company was operated on schedule. The Eatacada line and the Bull Run line were main taining an irregular schedule. Falling poles, brought down by the ice. caused interruptions. Interurban mails were delayed in many cases. On the city lines, ice-encrusted trol ley wires caused much trouble. In genious methods were used to over come the difficulty. The trolley wheels were taken out in many instances and the pin retained. This scraped along the wire, getting its supply of cur rent for the motors and at the same time chipping the ice from the wires. In other cases special .wheels for icy wires were used. SOME FRENCH MAY COME Hope Is That Part of Industrial Commission Will Visit Portland. Although the limited time available makes it Impossible for the entire French Industrial Commission which is now studying conditions in the United States to visit the Northwest, the chairman of the committee holds out the hope that some of the members of the commission may te able to visit Portland. An urgent invitation was sent tnn commission by the Portland Chamber of Commerce when it was found that it was to visit America to look over tho industrial and commercial field, asking that Portland be included in the itin erary. The letter explaining that tho full commission cannot come was re ceived yesterday. OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS Members Portland Oiteopathlo Aasn. Barrett. Dr. H. Itr. 41" Morcaa Bide. Phone Main 428.
