CURB ON LAWS IS PLAN Bllb CHANGES RKPRESEJTTATION OX ALL PET1TI03VS. City Club Has Measure to Make Inttla. live and Referendum Law More Represent a tire. The new bill devised by the City Club, of Portland, by which it is aimed to make the operation of the initiative arid referendum in the state more near ly representative, has been completed according to the report of George Mc- Bride, of the legislative committee, and win tie introduced into the Legislature probably today by Representative Wil lett. "There seems to be no opposition ex pressed to the proposals embodied in the bill." said Mr. McBride, "although of course, we cannot tell what may de velop after it is introduced." The proposed bill provides that ' s representation of 8 per cent of the rglstered voters in each of a majority or counties In the state shall be neces. sary on the petitions to bring an ini tiative or referendum measure before the people. In this way it Is believed it will be impossible for a single dense ly populated county to initiate a meas lire without the remainder of the state having the opportunity to be repre sented on the petitions. John McCourt at the luncheon of the club yesterday discussed the proposed amendment just drawn up by the legis lative committee of the Chamber of Commerce, by which it is intended to provide that Portland can raise money by taxation or bonding for the subsidy of shipping lines out of the port. As the constitution stands at present, this cannot be done. ICE BARS DEATH NEWS MOTHER OP HAROLD RANDS, ENGI NEER IN ALASKA, DIES.

LOTTERY HIT FOR $12,000 chijtese bask breaks ajtd set tles WITH JIM 03T FOR S42O0. Lucky Celestial la Son of Bank Porter. Backers In Times Past Plan to Enjoy Share. The mythical "man who broke the bank of Monte Carlo" developed a counterpart In Portland's Chinatown this week when Jim On, an Oriental man-about-town, won approximately $12,000 in a lottery drawing conducted by the Canton Company and put that Chinese financial institution so badly out of business that it directors con cluded to pay only 37 V4 cents on the dollar. On this basis Jim On took away $4200 from the lottery firm, and created as much excitement aa a tong war. The lucky Celestial, who Is the son of Jim Cook, elderly porter in the United States National Bank, made his 'killing" on an investment of $3.60. This sura he played In Wednesday morning's game, and won $20. Keep ing 20 cents of his winnings for im mediate expenses, Jim invested the balance in the next drawing, and caught a nine-spot," taking the cap ital prize. While the fortunate win ner was telling his acquaintance the glad tidings, others, who are reported to have financed him in times past, were laying plans to secure a shar of the prize, so Jim On will not enjoy the entire fruits of his success. Lottery players in local Chinatown have an understanding with the vari ous companies to the effect that when ever the "bank" is broken payments of 87 cents on the dollar will be ac cepted in full for all claims, it is said. Y. W. G. A. FUND $9633 CAMPAIGN OVER, BUT O.UIET WORK WILL BE COXTIMT.I). Collection of Pledges and Canvass of Some Patrons Missed Expected to Provide S15.O0O. 'The official formal campaign for funds for the T. W. C. A. budget Is over, but the work and efforts to get the needed $15,000 will not cease. We will continue our work quietly and persistently until every promise has been fulfilled and all who are willing to help us have given to the cause." This was the announcement of Miss Jane Scott, manager of the campaign, who summed up the work already ac complished. Miss Scott addressed the captains at the association yesterday. when the final reports of the work showed that $9633 of the needed $15, 000 had been collected. Realizing the urgency of the call for money, a man who is too modest to allow his name to appear, sent word that he would give an additional $500. This and some more checks promised will bring up the amount another $1000. it is hoped. To make up the sum that must be forthcoming if the association is to continue all its departments several of the captains will keep on interviewin their friends. A number of regular patrons of the association were out of town during the past week, others were not at home and still others had not decided Just what they could af ford to give. The workers who had been so faith ful and loyal in their part of the cam paign received the sincere praise of Miss Scott and of Miss Carrie A. Hol brook, the president.

GUISTIIJ, COURT INTERPRETER, DEAd Paralysis Fata! to Attache Who Unraveled Tales in Many Strange Tongues. DALMATIA LAND OF BIRTh Trip Home, Planned for 20 Tears, la Stayed by War and Fears for Safety of Aged Mother Disturb His Last Years. . The mildly merry elderly man. who spoke eight tongues and a score of dialects, will nevermore unravel the strange Jangles of Municipal Court, for George Gulstln. Interpreter, passed away at St. Vincent's Hospital Jester day morning. Death followed a stroke of paralysis, sustained several weeks ago. His premonition that he would not be permitted to visit the little island off the Ealmatian coast, which he called home, before death revoked his leave on earth, has been fulfilled. For 20 years he had planned a return trip to the land of his birth and in 1914 he Journeyed to New York, enthusiastic in the thought that he was soon to see his aged mother. The great war turned him back. George Gulstln was a native of the so-called "lost province," dear to many an Italian heart and his family name was Guistinovlch. He changed his name to Gulstln some years ago for the convenience of Americans with whom he came In contact. When he was a boy the village schoolmasters still taught the language of Italy in the schools of Dalmatla. Trieste was the "great city" of his peasant boy hood. Call of Sea Heeded. All about the little island fled the white sails of a thousand ports and brown bare-legged George Gulstln answered the call of the sea. Forty years ago, an able seaman on a wind jammer he rounded the Horn and came to the Oregon country. . He became a fisherman at Astoria, first . for wage and then on his own account. Later he moved his fish busi ness to Portland where he conducted It for several years. He worked at the carpenter trade for a time. Twice he was married, but both wives are dead. What so natural as his becoming an interpreter, this ex-sailor with the tongues of eight nations at his com mand? He was summoned to Muni cipal Court to Interpret one of the many perplexing polyglot quarrels that wrinkle the brow of Judges. He remained to become . a fixture, the friend of scores of officers and at torneys and the linguistic assistant of at least four Judges. As Interpreter for the Municipal Court he served under Judges Bennett, Tazwell, Stevenson and Langguth. Whether the dilemma existed In South Russian, Greek, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, any of the numerous Balkan dialects or the 11 dialects of Austria, the court leaned inquiringly- toward George Gulstln and learned why Manuel whetted his knife, or pretty Rosa cried at night. War Causes SufferlafC. The war In Europe was his grave1 concern. For In Dalmatia lived his mother, 90 years old, and his two brothers. A half-dozen nephews, em ployes of the Austrian government at Vienna in days of peace, were some where on the firing line, or under the sod. When he was turned back at New York in 1914, George Gulstln returned with a heavy heart to Portland. "I don't believe I'll ever see my home again," he said. For almost 40 years he had been a member of Harmony Lodge. Ancient Free and Accepted. Masons. A few years ago, at the proposal of his friend. Judge Tazwell. he was made an honorary life member of the lodge. It is thought that the services will be under the auspices of the Masonic order. Mr. Gulstln Is survived by one sister In this city. His home was at B3814 Mill street. 'The passing of George Gulstln leaves a vacancy ' In our office that will be difficult to fill." said Nell R. Crounse, deputy clerk of the Municipal Court. "He was a grand old man, scrupulously honest and generous -to a fault His cheery 'good morning did much to brighten the day His death will be regretted by a host of friends." NEW DOAT IS ORDERED CONTRACT LET BY LIB BY, M "SKILL Jfc LIBBY FOR MOTORSHIP. Award Mad to Standifer-Clarltaon Company, Which Is Also FisTOr-Ina- on Carrier for Swifts. Llb-by. McNeill St Ubby. packers. have decided to have a second motor ship built at the North Portland har bor yard of Standifer-Clarkson. an nouncement of the award of the con tract being made last night by W. F. Burrows, president of Lib-by, McNeill & Llbby. The first ship, which is to be launched about March, may be named the L-i-bby, while the second's name has not been selected. The latter will be about 20 feet longer than the first, 240 feet over all, and in the main will be sister ship, though there will probably be minor changes. Mr. Burrows says a third vessel may be arranged lor later. Other than the vessels building, the Libby. McNeill & Libby fleet now in eludes 113, which takes in cannery tenders and every class of craft -under power and sail. When the Standifer Clarkson plant was established it was the understanding it would be favored by the patronage of the big packing corporation and it is the determination to replace tha present sailing fleet with full-powered or auxiliary ships. Yet another packing concern Is In the market for a carrier. Swift & Co. being- desirous of building an auxiliary for the Southern California kelp trade that will be 160 feet long. G. E. Briggrs. representing the company, is in the city- and it is not improbable the Standifer-Clarkson Company will figure la the award. WEST CHA3TXEr WORK AIDED Property Owners Agree to Take Care of Material Ashore. - Property owners on the west side of the river opposite Swan Island have agreed to take care of all shore ex pense If material dredged from the west channel is deposited on that side, which is said by those interested in the opening of the west channel to be the only practical means of getting rid of the material taken out. . The navigation committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday com municated with the Port of Portland Commission on the subject, it being set forth in the communication that J. B. Yeo'n. the O.-W. R. & N., Percy H. Blyth, the Reed Institute, M. L Holbrook. Andrew R. Porter. Mary J. Woodward. I. J. .Cook, the City Land & Ukase In vestment Company, having land on the west side, had indicated their willing ness to assist In the channel opening by taking care of the dredglngs. Also, it was pointed out, the improvement of the land through filling would increase the area available for docks and indus trial sites. The Port Commission will consider the matter in detail at Its next meeting. Mid-Colombia Boats to Resume. THE) DALLES. ' Or, Jan. 36. (Spe cial.) After several weeks of idle ness the Columbia River traffic will be resumed Monday. The steamer Ta homa, which has been tied up at Port land, will make the trip on that day.

Chamber of Commerce Committee De- Tiaeo Scheme to Eneonrtfe Kew . Shipping Lines. A plan for the raising: of funds by Portland to subsidize shipping lines out of this port is Involved In the pro posed constitutional amendment which the directors of the Chamber of Com merce are presenting; to the State Leg islature for passage. Investigation of various suggested methods for encouraging1 the develop ment of shipping- for this port has been carried on by the Chamber for a long; time, and the plan of providing; for bonus or subsidy for shipping; lines was settled upon as the most feasible plan. The provisions of the state constitu tion, however, made it Impossible for the state, county or municipality to raise funds for the support or assist ance of private enterprises, and this stood in the way of putting the sub sidy plan into effect. The special committee which drew up the resolution for the constitutional amendment consisted of Franklin T. Griffith, F W. Mulkey, C H. Carey, W. P. LaHoche, John McCourt and Ed par B. Piper. The form of the resolution to be presented by the Chamber of Commerce to the Legislature follows: Be It Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Oregon, the House of Xtepresenta.tlvea jointly concurring-, ttmt Section 9 of Article 11. of the constitution of the State of Ore gon. be, and the same is, hereby amend ed to read as follows: Section 9. No county, city, town or other municipal corporation, by vote of Its citi zens, or otherwise, shall become a stock holder In any joint company, corporation or association, whatever, or raise money for or loan its credit to or In aid of any such company, corporation or association ; pro vided, that any municipal corporation desig nated as a port under any general or spe cial law of the State of Oregon, may be empowered by statute to raise money and expend the same in the form of a subsidy or bonus to aid in establishing- water trans portation lines between such port and any other domestic or fore) gn port or ports ; any debts of a municipality to raise money created for the aforesaid purpose shall be incurred only on approval of a majority of those voting on the question, and shall not either singly or in the aggregate with pre vious debts and liabilities Incurred for that purpose exceed 1 per cent of the assessed valuation of all property in the municipality. RADIO STATION OPENED GREAT NAVAL PLANT AT SAW DIEGO FORMALLY INAUGURATED. Pnblte and Navy Officials Exchange Messages With Washington Fed eral System Is L'sed. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.

C Hooper, who is in charge of the radio department of the Navy, and Dr. Aus tin, of the Bureau of Standards, of Washington, and other high naval officials, who were all greatly pleased at the successful work of the station. The Federal Telegraph Company was represented by H. P. Veeder. vice- president and general manager, and D. Jr. Fuller, chief electrical engineer, who designed and Installed the station. The San Diego station is the first of a chain of powerful stations being furnished . by the Federal Telegraph Company for the Government to es tablish communication between Wash ington " and the transoceanic posses sions of the United States.

Va GASOLINE GRADES DEBATED Refiners Hold Standard Would Put Brakes on Production. WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. Arguments or and against setting a Federa standard for gasoline were made by oil refiners and automobile engineers today before a Joint committee of the Bureau of Standards and the Bureau of Mines. Most of the refiners opposed a standard, holding it would restrict production, which, they declared, just now was barely keeping- ahead of con sumption. Automobile engineers asked that If a standard were fixed the Govern ment keep In mind the fact that rail lions of cars are using the grades of gasoline now marketed and that any changes would cost car users a vast sum of money. The committee will make a report on the subject soon to the departments of Interior and Commerce. PUPILS HEAR SYMPHONY Rehearsal of Portland Orchestra Is Attended by Children.

HARBOR VOTE TAKEN Commission Wants Charter Amendments Re-enacted. 2 OPPOSE COAL BUNKERS RemoTBl of Hayden Island Dyke to Be Recommended, in Order to Benefit Channel Conditions at Xorth Portland. Favoring: the re-enactment of amend ments to the charter permitting; the dredging of North Portland harbor and the establishment)' of coal bunkers for the accommodation of vessels, also recommending- that the Hayden Island dyke be torn out so as to benefit nat ural channel conditions in North Port land harbor, were features of a spe cial session of the Port of Portland Commission yesterday. Judge Carey, representing North Portland harbor Industries, and Colonel C. E. S. Wood, of counsel for the Com mission, were on hand to pilot legal details. The amendments are identical with those voted on here -January 6, 1912, and which the Supreme Court re cently decided were illegal, holding only the Legislature or the voters of the entire state had the power to amend the Port of Portland charter. It was because of the decision that the steps were taken yesterday, and the amendments will be presented to the Legislature. At the same time it was understood plainly that amending the charter does not bind the Port to proceed with either privilege. In that connection Captain E. W. Spencer, of the Commission, in sisted on each feature being voted on separately, first that part of the amend ment providing for dredging1 of North Portland harbor, which was favored unanimously, then the coal bunker provision, on which he and Captain W. H. Patterson voted no. They explained their vote by saying it was understood the Port of Astoria intended taking care of the coaling facilities. The idea of other members was that the pro vision was deBirable Inasmuch as the Port could take advantage of it if deemed necessary later. 1 "I think it clearly should be includ ed In your powers," said Colonel Wood, with reference to the North Portland harbor improvement clause. On considering a communication from the Union Meat Company, pertaining to the removal of the Hayden Island dyke, in- which C. C. Colt, president of the company, set forth that in his opin ion he did npt think it would be detri mental to that property, the Commis sion decided to recommend to Major Jewett. Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., that the dyke be removed. It was said that before its construction there was 18 feet of water in the harbor channel. mauixe inteijLigexce. Steamer Schedule. DUB TO ARRIVE. Kara. From tate. P.
