Wheeler Ootical Co. LtKV Oresronlan Sir. Dleck Objects) Before Council to Plan Forcing Railway to Bear 80 Per Cent of Costs. Over City Commissioner Dleck's pro test that such a move would end all possibility of grade crossing ellmina tions in Portland, the City Council yes terday voted to submit to the voters at the city election June 4 a proposed re vised code for financing grade change projects. The plan is to force the rail road companies to pay 80 per cent o the cost, leaving 20 per cent to be paid by the city. In all cases where the city's share would amount to more than J25.000 the project must first be ap proved at a city election. The plan at first was to change the existing law only to the extent of re-j lieving special assessment districts of charges for the projects. Commissioner Bigelow made the move to require the railroads to pay SO per cent. "The effect would be," protested Com missioner Dieck, "that there will be no more grade crossing eliminations in Portland. The railroad companies are required in the majority of states to pay only 50 per cent of the cost. It is generally conceded that the city has a liability equal to that of the railroads. To assess 80 per cent of the cost against them means that they will not stand for the projects. Portland has several dan gerous crossings which should be eliminated."

Williams Pleads Guilty "Contemptible Thing." to Superfluous Hair Now Removed Roots and All! (?ew and Instantaneous Home Method.) A boon to women troubled with suner fluous hair is the new phelactine process. It is totally unlike the depilatory, elec trical and other methods heretofore em ployed for the removal of hairy trrowths. It is the only thing that enables one to remove the hair completely roots and sll in one s own home, without the assistance of an expert. The result cannot be doubted, for the user sees the hair-roots with her own eyes. A stick of phelactine. with easy direc tions, can be had at any drugstore. It is entirely harmless (a child could safe ly eat it), odorless and non-irritating. "The most contemptible thing I ever heard of!" was the manner in which Harold L. Williams characterized his own crime of extortion when he ap peared before the grand jury a short while ago. He said at that time he was willing to take any amount of punish ment for the reprehensible thing he had done. Accordingly, he pleaded guilty before Presiding Judge Gantenbein yesterday and a sentence of three months in the County Jail was imposed. Williams was the young man who was taken into the confidence of Thomas Pendelbury, who told him o robbing the night clerk at the Black stone Hotel on the night of Decembe 30. Williams then pretended he was a plain-clothes man and threatened to arrest both Pendelbury and his "pal. Clarence Hopley, if they would not give him $100. They had raised $20 when all were arrested by real detec tives. Pendelbury-and Hopley pleaded guilty yesterday to robbing Chester F. Hall of the Blackstone, of $1.3a at the poin of an unloaded revolver. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Pierce did not oppose a plea for leniency, and Judge Ganten bein said he would pass sentence Fri day afternoon. the competition were to have been either at the office of M. H. Whitehouse or in the mail. As soon as all are received they will be turned over to a committee of judges comprising M. H. Whitehouse, C. C. Hall. H. C. Campbell, Charles Berg and Charles Weeks. The committee prob ably will meet before the end of this week to pass on the designs. A prize of $25 will be given the person sub mitting the most appropriate design.
