HALF HOLIDAY IS DECREED
Hoqnest to Have French Classes, in
Place of German Recently Sus
pended, at Irvington Denied
Pending New Programme.
Twice in yesterday's session of the
Tortland School Board the liberty loan
came to the fore.
Jii one instance the directors, having
previously discussed the matter, unani
mously voted to invest $200,000 of the
district's sinking- fund in the Govern
ment's latest offering, lit another they
decided, with hearty unanimity, to prant
the city'?; school children a. half-holt-day,
on Wednesday, October 21, -which
has been declared "Liberty Day" by
proclamation of the President.
Da,vid N. Mosessohn, appearing- for
the liberty loan committee, requested
thn half-holiday for the children, and
wsked that patriotic exercises in tune
with the spirit of the times be held at
the morning sessions on that day.
"I feel that I speak for the entire
board when I aay yes," eaid Chairman
(smith.
Krench Course Wanted.
Some lively skirmishing resulted
from the plea of Irvington residents
that French bo substituted in the gram
mar grades of that school for the 5er
nan course, recently discontinued. John
Uougal appeared for the petitioners,
and was accompanied by a number of
Irvington matrons.
"German went in ns an experiment
In that school." declared Director
Sommer, "and the honest truth about
tho matter is that German has been a
I'Br.-e. in tho Irvington School for three
years."
The chairman resorted to his gavel
1o quell the verbal riot that rose from
the Irvington ranks at this juncture.
Uirector Irako explained that the neg
ative a.etion taken by tho Board at
ihia time is merely to afford a period
for tho formulation of a general pol
icy for the introduction of foreign lan
guages in '..he lower grades, probably
next term.
The Directors were agreed that much
ad-vantage t.s to be found in teaching
foreign tongues in the lower grades,
hut declined the Irvington petition for
tho reason given by Director Drake.
Spanish and' French both were suggested-,
and a great deal was said about
the necessity for brushing up in lan
guages that the coming generation
may use to commercial advantage.
Luncheon Plan Favored.
A committee of three from the Parent-Teacher
Association of Sellwood
rather timidly advanced a request for
aid in the plan to serve hot lunches
during the Winter months. They asked
for gas. cooking utensils and tables.
Tiio request was favorably reterred to
a committee with power to ac.
Kor several years, it recently devel
opend, A. B. Muir. David McMillan and
osvar Hatton. manual training teach
ers, have, been on the payroll without
tho formality of election. The Li
rectors acted affirmatively upon the
matter of their somewhat tardy elec
tion. Benson Polytechnic had asked for
certain improvements and fixtures, in
cluding bookcases and tables for the
principal's offi Director Sommer
delayed an affirmative vote while he
made, inquiry. lie wanted 1. l:iow
why. for instance, a school .rades
couldn't make its own tables.
F A. Naramore, superintendent of
properties, explained that the school's
facilities were already taxed with a
vast amount of equipment now being
Constructed by the students.
Mr. aroniore Complimented.
"N'arry says so, does he?" quizzed Di
rector Pommers. "I've noticed tha.t he
always has a good reason for spending
money." With which sally the request
was ordered approved.'
Provision for the closing of manual
training shops on Saturday until
further action of the Board resulted in
an affirmative vote. with Director
I'lummer voting In the negative.
The Board transacted various other
routine business, approved the employ
ment of a deputy from the District At
torney's office, at a salary of Sal) a
month, to look alter the district's legal
interests; tit-creed an annual vacation
for employes without deduction of pay,
and made swift work of tho liberty
bond purchase.
Kmoiovis of the district will be per
mitted to buy bonds upon a basis of
rash . payment, or monthly deduction
from payrolls, not to exceed six months,
with 4 per cent interest on deferred
payments. Clerk Thomas was author
ized to work out the details of the
J200.000 investment, make the purchase,
and market such bonds as employes of
the district apply for.
Arrangements were made for the
opening or' night school at Franklin
JUgh building, commencing next Monday.

Mayor Points Out Dauerr Fiehlnd
Threatened Car Shortage In Let
ter to Business Men.
At the urgent request of officials in
"Washington. I. C Mayor Baker yes
terday issued a letter urging all busi
ness men 01" Portland and Oregon to
attend the National Kivers and Harbors
Congress in Washington, lvcember 5,
6 and 7, at which vital questions per
taining: to transportation of supplies
and men during the war period will be
considered.
'Looking; back at the record -break
ing" car shortage of the past year," says
the Mayor in his letter. we ran see
the transportation problem which Is
facing1 us in a war time when the
normal com! i t ions are augmented by
our having l.Ouu.000 or 2,000,u00 men in
France -to care for.
"Prompt and efficient transportation
is important in time of peace, but it is
absolutely vital in time of war, and it
is vital that we maintain and use the
waterway to the limit of their ca
pacity. There are grreat dangers lying:
behind a car shortage in such times
as we are facing.
"The convention will be addressed by
the Secretaries of "War. Navy and Com
merce."' The Mayor wants to hear from men
w ho w ill be in Washington at that time
r who are willing to ko to the con
vention on their own behalf, represent
ing; the city.
Three Mpponene Found In PoweMion
of WhlnWy labeled Candy Are
to He Tried Later.
"When a jury in District Judge Bell's
court yesterday acquitted T. Miyake of
a violation of the prohibition law.
Deputy District Attorney Fierce dis
missed penciins charges of the same
character against four other Japanese
K. Hori, M. Tapema, J. Tamabe and
K. Fukaga.ua. Miyake and the other
four were arrested September when
more than 600 quarts of whisky, labeled
and packed as Japanese candy, was
seized. The liquor will be destroyed.
The charge against Miyake was that
of receiving and possessing whisky un
lawfully. The testimony showed that
the defendant, who is an expressman,
received from a teamster employed by
the Manning "Warehouse Company o0
cases of the mislabeled Japanese goods,
which he in turn delivered to half a
dozen other Japanese in this city.
Mi yn ke testi f ied t bat he d id not know
the boxes contained liquor and main
tained that he received and delivered
them in the ordinary course of his em
ployment as an expressman.
In dismissing the complaints against
the four Japanese, Mr. Pierce explained
that the defendants were the men to
whom Miyake was alleged to have de
livered the whisky, packed as candy.
The arresting officers were unable to
find any of the whisky actually in their
possession when they were taken into
custody and, failing to secure a con
viction in Miyake's case, it was con
sidered useless to prosecute the others.
Three other Japanese, involved in
tho raid that caught Miyake, will be
tried later. In each of these cases the
officers making the arrests obtained as
evidence a supply of whisky.
