President Cowpertwalt Says Loca
tion on Incinerator Grounds
AVould Be Undesirable on
' Account of Bad Odor.
The Fulton district now is slated to
iret the city's dog pound. Officers of
the Oregon Humane Society, according
to announcement yesterday, have de
cided that the site offered on the
grounds at the incinerator plant is not
suitable and therefore will be turned
down by the society. Officers of the
society have selected a site 200 by 800
feet in size, between the river and the
Southern Pacific tracks, between Ne
vada and Texas streets.
The owner of the property has made
the Humane Society an offer to lease
the ground for $30 a month. There is
one frame building on the land which
is said to be suitable for dog kennels.
The site is about a quarter of a mile
from the Fulton carline. The vicinity
Is built up with small residences and
boathouses. President Cowperthwalt,
of the Humane Society, says he has
interviewed residents about the place
and has found no opposition to the
pound.
This makes the fourth selection of a
site by the society-and the Council since
the Council voted to turn the pound
over to the society. The first was at
Fiftieth street and Powell Valley roax..
This was knocked out by the Council
when the neighbors protested. The next
selection ws at Sixteenth and Jeffer
son stress. The neighbors here pro
tested with similar results.
The Council then offeredfree nse of
the incinerator property but this offer
the society rejected. President Cow
perthwalt said yesterday: "The In
cinerator site Is Ave blocks from
streetcar line and out of the way for a
pound. There are garbage wagons
there all day long and there is a bad
odor to the place. Furthermore, there
are no buildings on the site proposed
and to fix It up would entail heavy ex
pense. We feel that the site would be
very "undesirable."
rrhe Fulton site offers advantages. In
the opinion of Mr. Cowperthwalt. He
says it is close to carlines and is not
. too far out. while the property has a
number of large oak trees and is
sightly. He says the kennels can be
fitted up as boathouses and floated dur
ing the high water period, while horses
and automobiles can be kept in a barn
on higher ground across the Southern
Pacific tracks.

COMMENCING next Sunday, with

Manager Shalnwald, of the Peoples
Amusement Company; Manager Christ,
of the Pickford Theater, and Manager
Kirkpatrlck, of the Portland Metro ex
change, signed the contract yesterday
which assures for the Washington
street photoplay-house one of the
strongest programmes on the market.
"With both World and Metro fea
tures at our command the Pickford
need bow to none in the matter of
attractions." commented the jubilant
theater manager yesterday. "Either
the world or Metro presents a strong
programme, ranking with any on the
market, but the combination of the
(wo will give the Pickford features
and stars which cannot be surpassed."
Metro and World each releases one
five-reel feature a week, which means
that the Pickford will have a full pro
gramme for each of its changes. The
world, until recently releasing two
features weekly, has inaugurated a
one-feature-a-week policy, with Will
iam A. Brady personally supervising
all offerings.
Following "The Kiss of Hate" the
Metro vehicle for Ethel Barrymore, will
come "Hei Maternal Right." a World
film starring Kitty Gordon, the famous
English stage beauty. Other forth

by critics, and is said to provide a
particularly strong vehicle for Farnum.

American stage in romantic roles.

United States to deal with foreign foes,

The final scenes for "A Million a
Minute," a forthcoming Metro wonder
play in which Francis X. Bushman and
Beverly Bayne are starred, have Just

tent. V

The voting yesterday for queen was

G. A. R. candidate, rose from eighth
to fifth.
Ede) Fraasch. of Eugene, who h

place.
Thus far she has rarely dropped back
from a position after she has once
reached it, although in the early phase
GAR
of the contest she was almost at the
bottom.
SIGN EXEMPTION ASKED
Quarantine Officer Says "City of
rortland" on Auto Hinders Work.
Taking the stand that a "City of
Portland" sign on the city automobile
used by the Chief Quarantine Officer
would greatly hinder the work of that
official. City Health Officer Marcellus
has asked that the car be not labeled
along with the other city machines.
The question will be before the City
Council tomorrow. Dr. Marcellus says
people dislike being quarantined and
as a result when a machine drove up
in front with a "City of Portland" sign
on it. the people in the house would
lock the door and not be at home.
Kangaroo Court Succeeds

TWO courts passed sentence on W. H.

Job he was taken to a cell.
Soon after his Incarceration he was
approached by one of the trusties, who
asked for a donation of 60 cents. It
was for the purchase of cream, for
coffee, tobacco and other luxuries, ex
plained the trusty. Julius Kulspel.
Williams began to argue itje ethlca
of the request, being loath to part with
the 60 cents.
Knispei called a kangaroo court, the
facts were made public and Knlspel
was told to convey the verdict to the
prisoner.
"All right," said Knlspel. "If you

floor of the Jail. "
And Williams paid the K0 cents.
LAWYER'S ARREST. SOUGHT

Aiding Client's Concealment.
"Oh, I know where he is, but I'm not

Attorney Oliver M Hlckey told Deputy
Sheriff C. A. Beckman yesterday as he
refused to assist in the hunt for his
client, A. L. Morrta, for whom a larceny

fore. On the ground that refusal to disclose
the whereabouta of a man charged with
