DEPARTMENT CUT PLEASES Old Subject of Over Inspection Is Xtcvived and Mayor Informs Crit ics Any Reduction of Vigilance AVould Menace Health. Taxpayers had their fllne at the city budget of appropriations for next year yesterday, anil made things lively for the City Council for a while. Some were there asking: for the city to per form additional services; others to urge the cutting out of some of the present activities. Some were there to protest against taxation and others to air grievances either real or imag ine ry. Following the public session the Council met and cut out $20,000 in Items which had been allowed in the budget as tentatively adopted. sum is made up of $12,000 for additional arc liphts next year and $8000 for a comfort station near Third and Alder treets. The Council in cutting out these items decided that no additional arc lights will be installed next year find the proposed comfort station will be forgotten for the time being. Chief interest centered about the action of the City Council in cutting out the position of milk chemist in the milk inspection division of the City Health Bureau, which position Is held by E. C. Callaway. A number of women and others protested, against this until they were informed that the chemical analysis of milk is not to be curtailed in any way, the change being merely in personnel and not In methods. Some of the women and others were satisfied; others, however, were not. They ob jected to Mr. Callaway being ousted. F. M. Kiger, of the Oregon Dairy men's League and they Portland Milk Producers' Association, who had pro tested against the change, explained that he was sorry his protest on the subject had got into the newspapers. "It is unfortunate it got into the news papers," he said. "It should not have. All we want is the continuance of this work by competent men. We are not interested In any one person and we have confidence that Commissioner Mann .will do the right thing." Mayor Smooths Trouble. "I will tell you," said Commissioner Mann, who has charge of the milk divi sion, "that the fact that a man is dropped from a position does not mean that his work is not going to be done. I will put seven chemists in there if they are neded." The women wanted to know If there was any charge against Mr. Callaway, and the answer was given that in subordination was the only charge against Mr. Callaway. "If a man is dropped for good and sufficient rea sons,'" said Commissioner Mann, "that does not mean his work will be stopped or that someone less capable will be put in his place." "I think," interposed. Mayor Baker, "that there is undue agitation on this subject. I wish to assure you that the Mayor and Commissioners are going to see that the same care and attention will be given this milk business from now on that has been in the past." W. C. Morgan, of Reed College, said that, while he had no concern over any Individual in public office, he wanted provision made for a chemist in the milk work. Women representing various better ment organizations were on hand to urge the, Council to provide, an addi tional visiting nurse for service among the poor. rr. A. A. Morrison also urged this. The Council took it under advise ment Public Works Cut Pleases. George J. Perkins protested against the heavy expense of conducting the city's public works department. He was satisfied when he was shown that this expense had been trimmed down to the extent of about $60,000 a year. R. W. Steele, cashier of the East Side water office, made an oratorical appeal for an increase in salary from $105 to $125 a month. He declared that all other men in the service doing tbe same work have received $125 for years past. L. M. Lepper brought up the oft-discussed subject of making inspectors out of policemen, thereby doing away with other men. "There is one thing we try to pre vent," said Mayor Baker, "and that is to keep policemen from going into stores and homes. If they had that excuse for going into these places we would have endless trouble. Further more, I will call your attention to the fact that Portland's police have' more work than they can handle now. You can see this when I tell you that Port land has 80 policemen less than St Paul, which city has -fewer men than any other city of its size in the United States. Portland is about the size of St. Paul." I- 3V. Day In Critical. Mr. Lepper's suggestion brought up the whole question of inspection. I. N. Day declared there is too much inspec tion because of duplication. J. D. Mickle, State Dairy and Food Commis sioner, declared that this was not so "People do not. understand this Inspec tion proposition," he said. "Mr. Lepper's Idea is sound theoretically, but it is not practical. When people see this inspection work in its true light they will favor it strongly." "Yes," said Mayor Baker, "let me say in connection with this meat and milk inspection work which has been discussed, that if the public had been called in to see what we, as City Com missioners, have seen in the way of putrid meat and inspected milk, there would be a far different feeling. If it were not for careful inspection this stuff would go to your tables. The must rigia inspection is essential for me protection ot Health, and we should attempt no economy that will Jeopar dize this work." Mr. Day declared that them 1. . great deal of duplication of inspection. nu mis was aenlea py Mr. Mickle. He aiu me various departments co-oper- ie aim co-ordinate, but do not dunli. opinion to the contrary. will be neglected. This certainly was not the plan, but I consider it for the best interests of the milk inspection service to retain Mr. Callaway under conditions which have developed so that there can be no question about the work being continued in the future as in the past. I believe that with an understanding all around the bureau can be arranged so that all friction will be eliminated." CHANGE IS SATISFACTORY Governor Wlthycombe Inspects Flax Plant at State Penitentiary. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 16. (Special.) Governor Wlthycombe, jn company with S. Benson, chairman of the State High way Commission, made an inspection of the flax plant at the State Peniten tiary Thursday. He announced later that he is satisfied with the elimina tion of Superintendent Crawford and appointment of Guards Walter Johnson and Frank Minto to carry on the work. "The flax plant is now turning out five bales of tow a day. while the best record under Crawford was two bales a day, said the Governor. "The cost of operation has been reduced from $350 to $200 a month in salaries alone. "I am also satisfied with conditions at the prison." . CORN COST SALE .

POLICE STEAL "MEDICINE" Baby Ilodzlma Removed to Hospital on Account of Curiosity Seekers and Dr. Halselden Gets Let ters of Disapproval by Score. CHICAGO, Nov. 16. Special. Babv Hodzima. the child with the micro- ! ccphalous head and stricture in its trachea, will be permitted to die. as sisted in the process by the adminis tration of drugs that are destroying its appetite, under direction of Dr. H. J. Haiselden. This was the announce ment by the police this afternoon and indicates that the city will take no further action. Coroner Hoffman maintains that he will ask grand jury action if the baby dies under the treat ment, as it is certain to do. The po lice will not interfere any further. A policewoman went to the Hodzima house two days ago and abstracted the bottle of medicine the mother of the child was administering under the doc tor's directions. Its contents were analyzed today, but no poison was found. The City Chemist says it is practically the same compound that was formerly sold under the name of soothing syrup and it contains opiates. It tends to make the patient drowsy, listless and takes away desire for food or action of any kind. Boy Taken to Hospital. After the medicine had been stolen from the Hodzima home and the mother had been driven to distraction by nu merous curiosity seekers and officious visitors. Dr. Halselden had the baby removed to a hospital and continued the treatment there, free of interfer ei.ee. He announced today that the only possible way to stop the treatment was to cause his arrest, but there seems no chance of this course being taken, as he is backed up by the verdict of 17 out of a jury of 20 physicians who examined the child and decided its case was hopeless and that Dr. Hais elden was taking a humane course. So Baby Hodzima. one of the mis takes of nature, will speedily drop out of the world which has no place for it. Dr. Halselden, meanwhile, is the recipient of scores of letters, some of which praise him for his determined stand, but a majority denouncing him as a murderer and threatening dire reprisals if he permits the baby to die. Prosecutor's Office InvrxtlKntrs. He says these threats will have no effect whatever. The parents of the baby have agreed that the best and most merciful course is to let it die and to hasten its death by drugs that will ease its suffering. A physician representing the State's Attorney's office visited the baby to day and made a thorough examination. He also agreed that there was no 13 POUNDS St'GAR. . . . Sl.OO K SACK CltO W 31 kloir .
