GRIP REINS TIGHT
"Petticoat" Government Cuts
Expenses, Installs New
I Lights, Orders Cleanup.
COUNCILMAN "SAT UPON"
Holdover Stephens Argues as to New
Unshed at First Meeting After
Organization of Ruling Body.
' "CMATILLA. Or, Jan. 18. (Special.)
-Already the city expenses have been
cut J57 monthly aa'a result of the nrat
meeting after organization of the so
called "petticoat" government of this
progressive railroad town of Umatilla.
Already has the new feminine Council
ordered the installation of 16 new street
lamps, already have the women ordered
a cleansing of the City Hall and pro
posed a repair of the same and have
decided that they will have to move to
new quarters.
Then, too, Councilman Stephens, one
of the two man holdovers on the City
Council, at this vital first meeting of
the new city government, was "sat
upon" severely, a3 it were, and hushed
up by Mayoress Starch when he at
tempted to convince her to his belief
relative to her authority in the non
appointment of a City Marshal. His
position was well defined, likewise the
Mayor's, and the repartee was enjoyed
"by those present."
The men of the town now have had
an opportunity to get a peek: at the
new government and have about made
up their minds that the Mayoress and
her colleagues have started out in a
most determined manner and are likely
to get results.
Alter a long aiscuasiuu & icovmuou
wa adopted about the various pro
posed routes of tne Columbia River
Highway east from The Dalles. The
women decided that Umatilla should
work with all the other towns from
Arlington to Pendleton on the O.-W. R.
& N. main line to try to get the high
way this way. The resolution reads:
Whereat, There is before the Legislature
at Itals time a bill providing for the State
Highway Commission to be empowered to
lay out the route for the Columbia Highway
from The Dalles east; and
Whereas. Several routes hTe been pro
posed. It Is a noticeable fact that all the
proposed routes which have been mentioned
by newspapers have been laid out over a
rough and hilly country and many miles
back from the Columbia River, for which
the highway Is named; and.
Whereas, The Columbia River Highway
can be built from The Dalles east along the
Columbia River by way of Arlington, Bord
man. Irrlgon and Umatilla, thence through
Hermlston, Stanfleld, Echo. Nolan and Rleth
to Pendleton on a true water grade, with
the minimum expense for construction, and
serve more people than any other possible
route back away from the river, it also
would draw all tourist travel from Kastern
Washington and Montana points to Fort
land ; and.
Whereas, A water grade can be had from
all points on other proposed routes to the
Columbia River, and this proposed route;
be It
Resolved, by the city of Umatilla, That
the Columbia River Highway be routed as
herein described, which is the only real Co
lumbia River route; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution
be sent to the state Highway Commission,

WIDOW'S GEMS STOLEN
800 TAKEN WHILE) WOMEN ARE
ATTENDING THEATER.
Sister of ex-County Cleric Coffey Is
One of Victims, and Police Can
Find No Clew to Thieves.
Diamonds and other Jewelry valued
at approximately iSOO were stolen last
night from the home of Mrs. Emily
Porter, 370 Park street, by burglars who
entered the building through "a front
window while Mrs. Porter and her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary A. Porter,
Were attending a theater.
Both women are widows, and their
loss is aggravated by the fact that
many of the Jewels were gifts from
their husbands, who have been dead for
years.
Among the stolen articles were a pair
of diamond earrings, valued at $350;
a gold bracelet set with five small
diamonds; a brooch set with pearls and
diamonds; a platinum pin set with
diamonds, two watches and $40 in gold.
Detectives Tichenor and Maloney,
who investigated, say the burglars left
no trace except a small mark from the
Jimmy" used in opening the window.
A close search of the house did not
reveal -so much as a burned match left
by the burglars.
The Jewelry was In the women's
bedrooms, both of which were ran
sacked. Mrs. Mary Porter is the sister
of John Coffey, formerly County Clerk
of Multnomah County.

WAR DEPARTMENT
BLAMED FOR DEWY
New York National Guard Gen
eral Says 19,000 Men Were
" Ready in 20 Hours.
EQUIPMENT LONG AWAITED
Only Two Physicians Provided to
Examine Entire Division,- Senate
Committee Is Told Uni
versal Service Favored.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Blame for
delay in mobilizing the National Guard
for border service was placed squarely
on the War Department today by
dice and ignorance of real conditions.'
"The National Guard was treated by
the War Department as a volunteer
force, not under the scheme contem
plated in the National defense act."
said General Stotesbury.
Both Generals said the greatest dif
ficulty was that under departmental
regulations the Government equipment
was not on hand in the mustering
places.
"While War Department regulations
may have been to blame to some ex
tent." Senator Chamberlain interjected,
"Congress also was to blame, for rec
ommendations' of tire department for
this equipment had been repeatedly re
jected." . .
People Also Held Culpable.
"That is true," said General Stotes
bury, "and I'll go further than that.
The people were to blame. They did
not approve proper preparation."
General O'Ryan told the committee
that the 19.000 men in the New York
division had been mobilized within less
than 20 hours, complete as to numbers
and all equipment they were expected
to furnish.
Delay - was caused, he said, by the
process of mustering, ruled by the War
Department to be on the basis of vol
unteers, and' by physical examinations
of 19,000 . men by only two medical
officers.
"The report shows," he added, "that
there was no shortage of men or equip
ment In our division. Some companies
were at war strength."
- As to the condition of other National
Guard regiments. General O'Ryan said

manding the New York division of the
state forces, testifying before the Sen
ate sub-committee on universal service.
Adjutant-General Louis W. Stotesbury,
of New York, and Captain James T.
Burns, of the Third Illinois Infantry,
Joined in defending the Guard.
All these officers agreed in favoring
universal service legislation, although
they differed as to methods. General
O'Ryan outlined a plan under which
boys would be required in their 19th
year to elect the course of service they
preferred, whether in the Regular
Army, National Guars? or in some civil
ian capacity. In common with the other
two officers, he declared that complete
Federalization of the state troops must
be effected to insure efficient service.
Conservative Prejudice Blamed.
Generals O'Ryan and Stotesbury de
clared the report on the National Guard
mobilization prepared by the military
bureau was unfair. They disclaimed
any thought that Army officials had
issued it to discredit and break down
the Guard. General O'Ryan said the
action was due to "conservative preju-
the New York troops would be shown
to be much superior. The Third Ten
nessee Regiment and some of the Indi
ana and Minnesota troops, he declared,
were fine, efficient organisations.
Universal Plan Outlined.
General O'Ryan thought the universal
plan should provide an optional train
ing of one year with the Regular Army
and five years in the regular reserve.
! or six years in the National Guard,
three on active service and three in
reserve, or six years in some indus
trial pursuit.
Captain Burns said Guard officers and
men on the border advocated universal
I service. He thought that feeling had
come to them with wider knowledge
due to their service, adding that the
Guard heretofore always had been a
barrier to the enactment of "rational
military legislation."
The three officers were not agreed as
to the effect of the mobilisation on
National Guard enlistments. General
O'Ryan said it differed in different
localities in his- state. Captain Burns
thought most of the men who served
on the border would go out again if
called.

4(H) Attend Function.
The ballroom was adorned exactly as
for the debutante reception of Miss
Mary Bacon, which opened the week s
festivities. Mrs. Bache, the hostess of
the affair, requesting that the floral
adornments be left for the charity balL
Supper was served in the tea gardens,
buffet style, and as the' cakes and
sandwiches were made by the con
signors to the Exchange, they bore out
the reputation for excellence and dain
tiness. There were easily 400 persons at the
ball, many of whom had not attended
a large evening function since the last
charity ball. Some of the matrons
proudly boasted that they had not
danced before for half a dozen years,
but the music was irresistible, and
partners were aplenty.
Receiving the guests were Mrs.
Winslow B. Ayer. Mrs. Theodore H
Wilcox, Mrs. C. E. S. Wood. Mrs. Henry
Coulter Cabell. Mrs. John Latta, Mrs.
Ferdinand Reed, Mrs. K. L. Thompson,
Mrs. William MacMaster, Mrs. Thomas
Kerr. Mrs. Elliott R. Corbett, Mrs.
Lewis Mills and Mrs. Helen Ladd Cor
bett. Sirs. Ayers Gown Adaalred.
Mrs. Ayer was attired in a handsome
gown of orchid chiffon velvet and
black tulle, with a bit of silver adorn
ing the bodice.
Mrs. Wilcox's gown was a wonderful
creation of violet chiffon velvet, and
white tuile, made with fish-tall train.
Mrs. C. E. S. Wood was admired in a
lovely gown of black tulle, with over
dress of gold-brocaded chiffon and
fish-scale bands.
Mrs. Cabell wore a stunning gown of
black satin, tulle and silver metal lace.
Mrs. Latta was charming in a gown
of turquoise blue satin francaise and
tulle.
Mrs. Ferdinand Reed's gown was also
of the popular black shade, made of
tulle over satin, and silver lace on the
bodice.
Mrs. Thompson wore a gown of
King's blue satin veiled with tulle and
adorned with spangled trimming.
Mrs. MacMaster's costume was a
striking model of solid black sequins
on net, a huge red single dahlia adding
a dash of vivid coloring.
Mrs. Thomas Kerr appeared in a
lovely silvery-gray chiffon velvet
gown, the skirt slashed, showing a
glimpse of pink lining. The bodice
was of pearls on white tulle and a
suggestion of silver trimming. -,
Mrs. Corbett'a Gown Fascinates.
Mrs. Elliott R. Corbett wore a beau
tiful shimmering gown of white satin,
silver and tulle. It was simple and
fascinating.
Mrs. Lewis Mills also chose a simple
white satin and tulle frock.
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett was distin
guished in a beautiful gown of black
scintillating fish scale, with a corsage
of rose tulle.
As the majority of the gowns worn
by the women were seen for the first
time this season, they are the latest
designs from the fashion builders. A
deviation from the styles of recent
years, the bouffant and very full skirts
was noted in the latest models, which
are built on straight lines, showing
a well-defined waistline, extremely
low backs apparently being the cor
rect thing this season.
. Some of the newest gowns still show
the hoop design, the skirts being very
short and made of tulle. The coloring
is less vivid than heretofore, the dull
black silks and tulles predominating.
There are so many new and wonder
ful shades and materials that every
woman can be becomingly and fash
ionably gowned, irrespective of her own
coloring.
Frivolous little trains are the pre
vailing modes in the ultra gowns, but
the useless, and ungraceful, timid-looking
trains evidently will not become
too popular in Portland, Judging from
the comments of thex younger element.
Owing to the serious illness of one
of Portland's most prominent matrons,
many members of her family did not
attend the balL And as the family is
especially large, with many connec
tions, their absence was keenly felt. ,
