der the provisions of the Bancroft
bonding: act for the past 10 years, will
be sold. The council yesterday adopted
a report presented by Commissi one
Kellaher which reads as follows:
Referring to the sale of property for un
paid bonded assessments bonded under the
Bancroft act and the amendments thereto,
the Commissioners in 1013, on account of
the inability of property owners to pay the
Installments and interest on the bonded as
sessments against their property when they
oecame due. because ot the conditions pre
vailing at that time allowed the property
owners to pay the Interest only on assess
ments bonded prior to July 1. 1915. This
policy bas been continued to this date.
The City Treasurer was instructed to
stamp upon each receipt issued for inter
est only, this waiver:
"This money Is paid and received on tne
express condition that no right of the city
shall not be estopped from Immediately
asserting all rights that It had before ac
cepting this payment of Interest."
Conditions have now changed so in at
property owners should be able to pay both
the Installments and Interest on the bonded
assessments against their property. I, there
fore, respectfully recommend that where the
10 years allowed for payment of bonded
assessments have elapsed and the payments
have not been made that the property be
sold for the whole uppatd bonded assess
ment and Interest, and that where tne iw
years have not elapsed I recommend that
commencing; with August 1918, that a pay
ment of not less than one installment and
one year's interest be accepted.

NEW TOKK, July 22. Extensive
conspiracies involving: bribery and
graft in connection with Army con
tracts for rubber raincoats sent to sol
diers in France were disclosed tonight
by department of justice officials,
simultaneously with the arrest of 17
officers and employes of 15 manufacturing-
companies in New York and
Brooklyn.
They are charged with bribery,
fraud or conspiracy.
Officers of the Quartermaster's
Corps involved are under surveillance
and probably will be arrested soon in
I Washington or other cities.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of
raincoat contracts are tainted with
fraud already uncovered by Depart
ment of Justice agents, and other dis
closures affecting Army . orders for
clothing, soldiers' equipment, machin
ery and supplies, and involving arrests
on criminal charges may be made soon,
it was learned.
Some Colonel, Majors Suspected.
Most Army officers at whom the fin
ger of suspicion points are of the lower
ranke, but a few of the ranks of Major
and Colonel are said to be under inves
tigation. Direct bribery of unnamed Army of
ficers who had charge of letting con
tracts or inspecting goods is charged
against a number of those arrested to
night. Among those arrested were:
Felix Gouled. a -wealthy clothing manu
facturer, who is charged with acting as go
between for other contractors and with
seektng to solicit contracts under the
illegal contingent fee system.
Joseph Hydemen, Wm. Sydeman and Joi.
Wood of the Sudeman Rubber Company.
Ralph Cohen of the Yorkshire Manufact
ing Company.
Ralph Rosenthal of Haneuer & Rosen
thal. Alfred Zeittel of the Automobile Raincoat
Company, Inc.
Louis Fried S. Halpren of the Interbor
ough Raincoat Company.
Polly Clamons of the Manchester "Water
proof Coat Company.
I. M. Halpern of the National Cement
Company.
Simon Harris of the Karris Raincoat
House.
lWris denser of Iesser & Stenge.
Joseph Pines of tife Pines Rubber Com
pany. L.. T. IT. Tellim of the Eureka Rubber
Manufacturing Company.
Fraud Look Investigated.
The round-up follows weeks of in
vestigation by agents of the Depart
ment of Justice and War and Navy
Departments.
The arrests are an outgrowth of the
Government's campaign against the
illegal system by which scores of
agents have obtained Army contracts
on a contingent fee basis.
Department of Justice officials to
night declared that many of the. rubber
coats furnished by rontractors charged
with fraud were reported unsatisfac
tory by General Pershing.
Investigation developed, it was said,
that through the bribery of Inspectors
rotten cloth and rotten rubber were
used for the coats, dimensions were
scanter than specifications, and seams
were not cemented properly. A few
rain storms were sufficient, it was
eald, to make these coats fall to pieces.
It was announced that in some cases
manufacturers intimidated military or
civilian Inspectors of raincoats by
threatening to use influence in Wash
ington to obtain their dismissal if they
did not approve the coats manufac
tured.
Others practiced fraud by secretly
shifting rejected goods to other plants
to which inexperienced inspectors or
those who would "play the game" were
assigned.
PANTAGES OFFERING HAS BOTH
HUMOR AND VARIETY.
Flirty "Hoosler Girl" Is Topline At
traction, With Billr Tate and
Two Others.
Another bright and breezy Summer
bill is on view at Pantages this week.
The bill is exceptionally well balanced
and starts a good pace at the outset
which keeps going at a uniform mo
mentum until the last note of the exit
march.
"Hoosier Girl" is the topline number.
It is a flirtation in two appointments
featuring Billy Tate, who is an Al Jol-
soneque funster in white face. Bins
Cushman and Evelyn Bennett. It is all
set to gay melodies and a Broadway
Beauty chorus in smart raiment pro
vides background. Tate is funny and
sings a brave comedy ballad about Car
rfe and Harry which is a riot. His
singing voice is excellent. There are a
half dozen clever songs and dance spe
cialties in the act, and it is scenically
beautiful.
A clever turn is that of Green Mc-
Henry and Dean, who introduce melo
dy from farm life. With one happy
chap at the piano, another dancing in
fine style and the other singing in a
big, melodious voice, this turn is high
ly humorous.

smart at every turn.

Reports That Spans Over Willamette
Are Unsafe Are Cause for
Action.
Immediate examination and investi
gation of the safety of the bridges
across the Willamette River in Port
land is to be made by Ernest E.
Howard, of the engineering firm of
Harrington, Howard & Ash, of Kansas
City. Authorization for this investiga
tion was given yesterday by the County
Commissioners. Mr. Howard is now in
the city and will start his examinations
at once.
This investigation is ordered because
of conflicting reports made recently
concerning the safety of the Morrison
and Burnside bridges especially. Two
different engineers have submitted en
tirely opposite views as to the safety of
the bridges, and the County Commis
sioners determined to call in Mr.
Howard for a third examination.
One report, submitted some months
ago by State Bridge Engineer Purcell,
stated that should two heavily loaded
streetcars and two heavy trucks meet
at the same point on the east approach
of the Burnside bridge, the structure
would undoubtedly collapse. Since that
report was made minor repairs have
been done, but the board wants to sat
isfy itself as to the safety of the other
bridges as well.
Germany's Dream of Empire and Rus
sia's 'Desire for Outlet to Sen
Causes of Present War.
"This is not the Kaiser's war," said
Dr. Harry Huntington Powers at the
Lincoln High School auditorium last
night. "It is the wax of every last
Gretchen and Hans in the German em
pire." '
Increasingly large crowds are attend
ing Dr. Powers' illuminating and in
teresting lectures on the war, which are
given under the auspices of the Uni
versity of- Oregon. In last night's lec
ture he showed how inevitable it was
that France and Germany should one
day meet on the field of battle. Ger
many's dream of empire and her failure
to get territory in any part of the globe
coupled with the desire of Russia for
an outlet to the sea were determining
causes of the present struggle; accord
ing to the convincing explanations of
Dr. Powers. Another reason for war
was the large sums of money which
French banks had lent Germany on
call. The first drawing of the sword
was stopped by the French banks in
lr-ll, when they threatened to call in
their loans should the Kaiser open hostilities.
A particularly interesting sidelight
on the war was Dr. Powers' statement
that the reason Germany developed her
dye-stuff industry so thoroughly was
that the dye-stuff factories could be
changed to explosive manufactories on
few hours notice, and that the raw
materials used were largely the same.
This evening Dr. Powers will discuss
the reasons for England's entrance into
the war. The lecture begins at 8
o'clock and is free to the public

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE MARNE, July 22. Around the
salient from Soissons on the north and
to beyond Chateau Thierry in the
south everything is going forward de
spite heavy German counter attacks.
The speed of the new advance had
brought nearly all the American
troops from the Marne up to last
night.
The tired fighters in the front ad
vance have been allowed to rest In i
the tracks of fresh Americans. French
and British, who leap-frogged through
them to the vanguard of the battle
line.
Pontoon Bridges Used.
The allies have crossed the Marne on
pontoon bridges at many places, but
despite their speed they were not al
ways able to keep in contact with the
enemy owing to tha rapidity of the
German retirement. The French and
Americans, however, have added to
their long list of prisoners.
Headquarters and units of all sizes
have moved with such frequency that it
is impossible to keep track of them and
each day finds new American units
added to the attacking force during the
previous night.
General Petain and Premier Clemen-
ceau in a visit to the front paid their
respects to the American Generals and
ventured into some of the captured
towns.
Troops In Fine Spirits.
The tremendous uplift of the advance
fills the llarne Valley with exultation.
It is like a dally Fourth of July cele
bration. The troops are in fine spirits.
All arms of the service are on their
toes In an epidemic of cheering con
fidence. The arrival of British rein
forcements going forward through the
smashed villages has brought new
cheer to tht holiday makers.
Two hundred civilians Immured in
Chateau Thierry since June 4 wept and
cheered as the Americans and French
entered and the last Germans withdrew
from the other side of the town.
The occupation has left their loved
town a wreck, the streets filled with
litter from vandalage and shell fire.
Wine cellars were emptied and barri
cades in the streets built of the bar
rels and furniture, camouflaged in
many places of curtains, tapestry and
bedclothlng. Tumbled masonry, piles
of cobblestones uprooted by shells,
gutters- flooded by broken mains, walls
breached, were everywhere.
Cathedral Badly Damaged
Through this marched the French
advance forces while the hysterical
town folk wept with joy. The idow
Depred. 87 years old, was greeted by
the French general in command. She
said she had cared for Boche wounded
and in return her house and shoe re
pair shop were not harmed.
The civilians had sufficient food dur
ing the occupation and were not mo
lested except for an occasional search.
The cathedral was badly damaged, its
pictures being torn down. Artillery
ana motor cars were parked there, gun
wheels crushing the floor tile. All
civilians were locked in the cathedral
last night and on releasing themselves
this morning found the foe gone and
friends coming up the street. Old men
and women kissed the blushing Amer
icans who wandered into the town to
see tne wreckage.
STUDENT NURSES WANT
VOLUNTEERS ARE SOUGHT TO RE
PLACE WOMEN SENT ABROAD.
!
College Education May Shorten Train
ing but Will Not Be
Essential.
an
To train nurses for service so as to
relieve those already trained for over
seas duty, the National Council of De
fense Is calling for 25,000 young women
of America to volunteer.
Mrs. Alice Benson Beach, who is
chairman of the State Council of De
fense, will act as recruiting agent for
Oregon. The call is for women be
tween the ages of 19 and 25. Intelli
gent, responsible women of good edu
cation and sound health are wanted
the pick of the country. A college
education Is a valuable asset, and many
of the hospitals where the training
win oe given will give credit for col
ege work. Some schools of nursing, on
the other hand, do not require even a
high school education.
Women will be given an opportunity
o enroll in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve, as the unit is called, in
any one of three ways. They may en
gage to hold themselves In readiness
until April 1. 1919, to accept assign
ments to nurses schools and will be
sent to schools as fast as vacancies
occur: they may become candidates for
he Army Nursing School, established
by the War Department, with branches
n selected military hospitals, or they
may hold themselves In readiness until
April 1, 1919, to accept assignments
either to a civilian training school or to
the Army Nursing School. Those who
enroll thus will be called as soon as
the need arises.
The Government will rely on the etu
dent nurses to fight disease at home.
to care for those injured in hazardous
war industries, and to make themselves
ready to serve when the time comes as
fully trained nurses, either abroad or
at home.
The course of training will vary from
two to three years, according to the re
quirements of the school where the
women are sent. Student nurses get
their board, lodging and tuition free
and, in most schools, get a small allow
ance to cover the cost of books and
uniforms.

Fresh Beef Travels
on a Rapid Schedule
Fresh beef for domestic markets goes
from stockyards to retail stores within
a period of about two weeks. Although
chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it
cannot be stored for a rise in price.
A steer is dressed usually within
twenty-four hours after purchase by
the packer. The beef is held in a cooler
at the packing house, at a temperature a
, little above freezing, for about three days.
It is then loaded into a refrigerator
car, where a similar temperature is
maintained, and is in transit to market
on an average of about six days.
Upon arrival at the branch distrib
uting house, it is unloaded into a "cooler",
and placed on sale.
Swift & Company requires all beef to
be sold during the week of arrival, and
the average of sales is within five days.
Any delay along the above journey
means deterioration in the meat and
loss to the packer.
