MEDICOS AFTER FUNDS Mrs. Stephens Will Champion Her Proposals for Child Welfare and Other Legislation Is to Be Considered at Session. The Multnomah delegation to the Legislature will hold another open meeting in the Central Library at 8 o'clock tonight to hear arguments of any persons desiring to be heard rela tive .to proposed legislation. As Library Hall Is engaged for the evening, the delegation will meet In the story-hour room, on the first floor of the Library building. One of those who will appear before the delegation tonight will be Dr. K. A . J. Mackenzie, dean of the Univer sity of Oregon medical department, wfTo will bespeak from the delegation its assistance In obtaining adequate fi nancial support for the department. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of MILLIONS USE IT TO STOP A COLO Tape's Cold Compound" Ends Severe Cold or Grippe in Few Hours. the Multnomah County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations, will explain the scope and purpose of two bills she has prepared for submission to the Legislature, which she will ask the delegation to snpport. One of these measures supersedes the present Juvenile Court In Multnomah County by a Bureau of Juvenile and Parental Relations, which would have state-wide Jurisdiction over all cases of Juvenile delinquency; The other measure provides for the creation of a state public school, to receive an annual appropriation of $80,000 and take over the care of or phans and foundlings now provided for in private institutions, which receive a certain sum per month from th state for each child. This bill seems likely to stir up some lively opposition, which may crop out at tonight's hear ing. The Credit Men's Association will have representatives at the hearing to explain a bill or two they desire to bring before the Legislature. The question of Increasing automobile li cense fees will also be discussed if the delegation gets around to It. The delegation Is anxious to com plete all this preliminary work tonight and thus obviate the necessity for an other hearing next week, which will be a busy one for members of the Legislature, with a good roads confer ence and an irrigation congress on the programme. If there isn't time tonight to give all who desire a hearing, how ever, another meeting will be arranged for some night next week. If It can be crowded Into the programme anywhere.

Why have an advisory art commis sion for the City Council when the commission Is not consulted in matters on which It is supposed to have Juris diction. This In effect is the question asked by the Council's art commission, comprising W. B. Ayer and A. E. Doyle, in a letter sent to the Counoll in re gard to the Charles T. Merrick memo rial fountain now being erected on dandy boulevard. It is said the fountain plans were ap proved and the fountain is being erect ed without the design having been re ferred to the commission as called for in a city .ordinance. The committee re ports that the design of the fountain would not have been approved had the commission been called on for a report. Changes In the design are recom mended.

Logan Introduces System of Making It Harder to Get Into City Service and Discharge Easier for Public Welfare. In line with & new policy adopted since John F. Logan became chairman of the Municipal Civil Service Board. of making the principal purpose of the city's civil service the protection of the public to the extent of making it hard for persons to get into the serv ice and easy to be ousted for cause, the board yesterday refused to reinstate J. C. Allen, a street Inspector, who was discharged by Commissioner Dleck for having failed to report a defective crosswalk which he knew existed. In . an oral decision in the case after ftestimony had been taken, Mr. Locan said that Mr. Allen knew of the condi tion of the crosswalk and failed to re port it. thereby demonstrating once more the attitude too often shown on the part of city employes of refusing or falling to attend to anything not strictly a part of their work and thus not working for the city's best Inter ests. The board decided that the charges against Mr. Allen should be sustained, but formal action was not taken because of a request for post ponement until a conference with Com missioner Dleck can be had by Mr. Allen. Accident Is Result. The crosswalk in question was that which caused an injury to Mrs. Carolina I. Colby, as a result of which she re cently obtained a Judgment of $6350 from members of The City Council per sonally. It was shown in the hearing yesterday that Mr. Allen knew of the condition of the walk. It being close to his residence, but that he failed to re port It, although he had been asked by a neighbor so to do, and was working under orders issued in 1914 requiring all city employes to report such condi tions. Mr. Allen contended that he did not know of the order and that he l em ployed as an Inspector of new construc tion and not an inspector on repair work. He said also that he had notified his department on other occasions of unlawful conditions and that they had not been heeded and therefore lie con sidered that his information carried but little weight. Other employes were put on the stand by Mr. Allen to show that they did not know of the order regard ing reporting defective conditions. Nfw Rule Applied. It was soon after George W. Caldwell was discharged from the position of chairman of the Civil Service Board and John F. Lofran took his place that the policy of changing the civil service to a basis of protection of tho public service rather than protection of the employes was adopted. This is con sidered the first case in which the rule has been vigorously applied. Mr. Allen" has been an employe of the city for about eight years. The Municipal Civil tervice Board yesterday ruled that City Commissioner Dleck was within his legal rights In laying off Ben F. Smith from the posi tion of plan examiner in the building inspector's office. Mr. Smith contested his layoff on the ground that In point of service he is the oldest man in the office, having been there about eight years. The board found that Mr. Smith was classified as a plan examiner and was the only one in the department under that classification and therefore could be laid off If the position were vacated. It was ruled that his classification gives him no standing for other posi tions in the office In spite of seniority. EXTENSION ADVISED BY BOARD Civil Service for More City Em ployes Is Recommended. All city employes not specifically ex empted from civil service under the provisions of the city charter should be placed under civil service Jurisdic tion, In the opinion of the Municipal Civil Service Board. Accordingly, a let ter was sent to Mayor Albee yesterday asking that steps be taken to place the positions of public defender and secretary to the board of motion-picture censors under civil service. "Although there Is a difference of opinion regarding the charter pro visions concerning this matter." reads the board's letter, "we believe It to be very much to the interest of the public service to have all regular-paid employee of the city under the civil service regulation, with the exception of those named In the charter to be excluded."

Morse, of Tacoma, chairman of the State Board of Control, has resigned and the resignation has been accept ed by Governor Lister, to take effect December 21. Texas Court Releases Man Who Is Wanted Here. ACTION IS UNPRECEDENTED ter, as he was preparing to go for the prisoner. John Howell, wanted in Portland for non-support, was the first fugitive to escape while being heid recently. He broke Jail at Rexburg. Idaho, while Deputy Sheriff Thompson was on hie way to that city to bring the prisoner back to Portland. Multnomah County Authorities Not Notified of Habeas Corpus Pro ceedings Escape Is Second Within Few Weeks. Twice in the past six weeks fugitives arrested in other states on charges of Crimea committed in Multnomah County have made good their escape before an officer could be sent from Portland. The first time the man broke Jail; the second time, of which news arrived yesterday, the circum stances cause District Attorney Evans to speculate on the peculiar circum stances which show no disposition on the part of Texas officials to co-operate with local authorities. W. Gordon Hardy, wanted In Port land on a charge brought by a girl. Is out of custody In parts unknown, though arrested December 9 In Fort Worth, Tex., according to information just received in Portland. At 7 o'clock the morning of Hardy's arrest in Fort Worth, the office of Sheriff Hurlburt was telegraphed. Five hours later came a second tele gram from Fort AVorth authorities as serting that Hardy had been released on a wrjt of habeas corpus. Art Ion Without Precedent. The action, while legal, was unprece dented In the experience of local of fices. The habeas corpus proceedings had been allowed to go through wit It out notification of the District Attor ney at Portland, which would have permitted the telegraphing of certified instruments sufficient to hold the prisoner. It was commented on at the time as peculiar by District Attorney Evans, who predicted that the fugitive was lost to Portland. Now Mr. Evans has received word from District Attorney Marshall Spoonth, of Fort Worth, that Hardy has left that City and that his present whereabouts are unknown, and notice from Sheriff Mann, of Fort Worth, that Hardy lias fled to Oklahoma. Departure In (tuiclt. Hardy left Fort Worth the day hn was released, but this information was not furnished local officials until Sheriff Hurlburt had telegraphed Fort Worth to know the status of the mat- ASTORIA IMPORTS HEAVY 21S.OOO Quarts or Beer and 3S.OOO of Whisky Ordered in Year.
