BILLS ARE ON TAPIS
County Delegation Tonight to
Hear Measures Debated.
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

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.

ART COMMISSION IGNORED
Members Ask Council Why They Are'
Kept in Office.
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.

Civil Service Board Sustains
Actions of Mr. Dieck.
NEW RULE IS IN EFFECT
John F. 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."

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
