Pre mifr Fainleve, replying today in the Chamber of Deputies to Interpellations t- Ifputy Frederic Brunei, who asked the government to associate.

I failed, and I regret it," the Pre xnier paid. Af tr pa ylnc a tribute to Albert Thomas services, the Premier said that the absence of Socialist Ministers would mako no chance in his policy. He de clared his determination to proceed en ergetically apainst all intrijrues and certain foreign airents, but added that lie did not intend to allow these scan rials too m ii'-b publicity m the press Waupe they wer- picked up abroad and weakened the country's morale. This part of the Premier's speech was in terrupted, especially by the Left, as were his declarations that the censor ship was necessary and ouifht to be re spected. The government, he said, 1-oped to remain in agreement with the press by appealing1 to the newspapers to maintain their own discipline. The Chamber applauded the Pre mier's allusions to the society of na tions and President Wilson's message as principles to which J-Vance fully adhered, thereby showing her abnega tion end moral grandeur.

TURNER, bo run the ma-, trimonial and police records, kneels alternately at the altar of Hymen and the altar of Bacchus. On five separate occasions she has put to sea in the frail bark Matrimony, but on each occasion she has run afoul the reef of "Firewater." Anna, with a sob and a headache, appeared yesterday before Municipal Judge Rossman and "confessed" that she had imbibed too freely of hard cider and Jamaica ginger. "My husband had me "pinched' be cause he was tired of supporting: me." she said. "I guess he's tryln' to beat the high cost of llvlngr." "How would you like to stay here In jail with the matron for a while?" asked the court. "Believe me. Judge, I'd rather stay here than go home to my husband." "Well, how long would you like to remain as a guest of the city?" "That's up to you Judge, but I don't want to impose on the city." So Anna, a bride of four months, was told she might go "upstairs" for a short stay. She has been there so often that she admitted that it felt like "comin' home," Jlmmie Ryan had stayed "on the wagon" for a long time, but Wednes day night he Just couldn't resist the temptation to "hit 'cr up." That he more than succeeded was indicated yes terday morning whn he appeared in Municipal Court with a badly battered eye and a whisky bottle containing "three fingers'" of pure alcohol, or at least as pure as can be bought through the bootlegging route. Jimmie admitted he had staged a remarkable "high lonesome" 'by drink ing the alcohol straight, so be was told to remain in Jail for a couple of days until the bruised eye and parched throat- felt better. It would stand Portland bootleggers in good stead to take up the study of memory cultivation. Almost Invariably a man charged with bootlegging can remember nothing as to where he se cured the booze or what he intended doing with it. J. A White's poor memory cost him a fine of $250 yesterday, lie had been arrested by Patrolmen KUiot and O'Hal loran with 10S quart bottles of whisky In his "for hire" automobile. In court yesterday. White failed to remember where he had secured the booze, except that two men had commissioned him to take it from a river dock to Third and Glisan streets. He was arrested as he was unloading his liquid cargo. "Your memory is very poor." ad vised'Judge Rossman. "I will fine you $250 this time and see if it will not help you to remember that we will not tolerate any form of bootlegging in this city." It is a well established fact among those "in the know" that the prevail ing market price for bootlegging whisky is a quart. But it remained for Mike Hyde, a beardless, youth, to give forth the information that "soft drink" establishments serve it over the bar at 2b cents a drink. Mike answered. "present, -your honor.", in Municipal Court; yesterday, charge with possessing lottery tickets aid also charged with disorderly con duct. He pleaded guilty but explained that he had been drinking. At the request of Judge Rossman, Mike guided Captain Circle to the "soft drink" establishment of Irvie Hutchinson at Sixth and Everett streets, to show where he had drunk his whisky while leaning up.againft the bar.- A -complaint was sworn out against Hutchinson, who has been in court before on the came charge and ISSiL $12.50 $16.50 .821.50 $24.50 . .$27.50 Is now under Indictment In the Circuit Court on a charge of burglary. Mike will appear in court this morn ing to receive his sentence. E. Nelson was speeding his motor cycle along Front street 38 miles an hour Wednesday afternoon when Motorcycle Officer Bales tagged him. Beginning yesterday and extending during the coming six weeks. Nelson will be compelled to walk or ride on the plebeian streetcars. After Judge Rossman had heard the testimony he decreed that the young man must re linquish his motorcycle to the city-for six weeks and pay a fine of $5. He was cautioned against borrowiug any motorcycle during that time. That Motorcycle Officer Frank Errln had a busy day Wednesday was In dicated by the appearance of eight speeders yesterday who paid fines ag gregating 96. as follows: K. H. Kangas, $10: George Mullin, J12; W. C. Pritchard. I7; J. J. Manning, 10; Stanley Thompson, $10: Chris Stertz, $10: G. K. llowltt, $10; B. K. Cleve land. $17. Otto Nyberg answered present to the "sick" call yesterday on two separate counts. The fact that the "dry squad" had raided his place at 1434 Kast Kverett street and confiscated more than 100 quarts of booze gave him that sick feeling. But Otto's deepest regret lay In the fact that the little "war garden," which he had nurtured during the dry spell had been badly damaged in the search. It may have been that the dry weather caused him to "plant'' a ten-gallon barrel of whiskey In the war garden, but at any rate the booze was dis covered there, gurgling quietly between the hills of spuds and corn and onions. Otto will have a Jury tria.V Septem ber 25. CAR MEN ARE CONFIDENT EIGHT HOURS AXD WAGE LIFT COt'MED CEHTAIXTV. Company Declare That All Bancs on Decision on the Six-Cent Fare Proposal, Streetcar employes of Portland yes terday expressed confidence that their request for an eigrht-hour day and a wage advance will be granted. President Robert Walter, of the local union, declined to discuss the matter yesterday, but at the last meeting of tne men on September J 1 he expressed the belief that the new 4a scale would fro into effect September 2S. I stiil have the fullest confidence In that statement," he said yesterday, "and beyond that 1 have notliingr to saV" As yet there is no suggestion from the streetcar men that a rupture with the company la likely. It is denied that any ultimatum has been presented to the company. The next meeting of the carmen is scheduled for next Tues day night, and until the men meet no action can be takn. At the offices of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company it was stated that action on the request of the men hinge. upon the decision of the Public Service Commission as to the requested advance of carfares from 5 to 6 cents on the Portland city lines.

E WOOLEN POPE AWAITS REPLY Germany's Note Believed De layed by Emperor. BELGIUM NOT DISCUSSED Impression In Berlin Is Teutons Consider Xalion Too Valuable a Pawn to Be Jeopardized by Any Ill-Timed Move. HOME, Sept. 15. (Delayed.) Cardi nal Gasparri, the papal secretary of state, tonight declared to the Asso ciated Press that the reply of the cen tral powers to Pope Benedict's peace proposals, had not yet been received at the Vatican. Cardinal Oasparrl believes that the reply of the central powers was held up when Kmperor "William went to Riga and that It is not likely that It will reach the Vatican until next week. BERLIN, Sept. 19, via London, Sept. 0. While the text of the Uerman re ply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals will not be announced before Saturday, the Berlin press and parliamentary circles concur in the prediction that the message will not contain specific declarations concerning Belgium. The impression prevailing in well- informed quarters is that the note will leave the subject of Belgium in abeyance. The Oerman attitude on this point might be tersely expressed this way: "Germany considers Belgium too valuable a pawn to be exposed to jeopardy through an ill-timed or hasty move." On the subject of International arbi tration, the Oerman note, it is believed, will express approval of the sugges tion. LONDON', Sept. 20. The attempt by the Oerman press and officials to cre ate the atmosphere for another peace maneuver again is given prominence in the morning papers, which are of the unanimous opinion that there can be no peace until Prussian militarism is crushed. The Daily Mail, under the caption "The ilun Peace Plot," de clares: "The true friends of peace are the allied armies of the governments which are striving to remove the cause of all this misery, unrest and bloodshed by destroying Germany's military autoc racy." The Daily Mail rebukes the pacifists, saying: "President "Wilson has shown how these people can be handled. He is the most scrupulous of democrats, but he knows that liberty at such moments as this has the most to fear from Its pretended friends." The Times quotes the Atlantic City speech of Secretary Lane and adds that the war will end, as Secretary Lane, says, "when Germany knows she must give hostages" for good behavior in the future. The Express asserts: "No peace, on whatever terms, can have any value unless those terms insure the impossi bility of another German attempt to wreck the world." AMSTERDAM. Sept. 20. The Berliner Tageblalt today, discussing the reply of the central powers to the peace pro posals of Pope Benedict, nays that the German government, irrespective of the exchange of notes, will soon have an opportunity of making known its stand point regarding peace.

The famous Wilbur case, in which Julius Wilbur, former proprietor of the Friars' Club at Milwaukie, was tried and convicted in the Circuit Court of selling liquor, and the conviction was sustained a few weeks ago in the Supreme Court, may still have another chapter. An appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States is contem plated. Following the statute, the local Dis trict Attorney's office omitted the name of the purchaser of liquor, and ex Senator Fulton's contention was that this was in violation of the constitu tional provision that every accused person must be apprised of the nature of his crime. YOUNG BREWER IS FINED Party at Dance at Fair Spoiled by Interference of Police. OREGON CITT. Or., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.)

Charges that the District Attorney's office had suppressed evidence in the prosecution cC the case marked the opening of the defense in the trial of Yee link, charged with second degree murder for shooting to death Chin Hong, in Circuit Judge Tucker's de partment of the Circuit Court yester dn y. The accusation was made by Itobert F. Maguire, of counsel for the defense, and it was made in the course of the examination of Detective Thomas Swennes, the first witness called. Detective Swennes had testified that when he reached the body of Jan Joe, companion of Chin Hong and the first Chinaman killed in the affray at Sixth and Flanders .trpets. he found a 38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver with all six chambers empty, firmly clenched in the right hand of the dead man. After producing and identifying the revolver taken from Jan Joe's body, Swennes, at request of counsel, handed Mr. Maguire a receipt he had received from the District Attorney's office for revolvers taken from the fighting gun men and turned over by him to Deputy District Attorney Uammersly. This receipt showed that a descrip tion of the gun. produced yesterday by Swennes was originally written into the receipt and afterwards crossed off when the firearm was returned to the detective.

It is the contention of the defense that the evidence of fiwrn nes, which it promised to corroborate, shows that at least one of the mem bers of Chin Hong's party on the day of the shooting was armed, was look ing for trouble and had emptied every chamber of his revolver before being fatally shot himself. The receipt was admitted by the court. I. W. W. PRISONERS FREED Pardons Issued In Grays Harbor Cases by Governor Litter. ABERDEEN', Wash.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) The last five of the county 1. "V.
