INFLUENZA CMS FEWER
CHILDREN HAVING COIiDS ARE
BARRED FROM SCHOOL.
Quarantine of Cases Proceeds Vnder
Direction of City Health
Bureau.
.Portland- schools will not be closed
because of the influenza epidemic, but
children who are out with colds,
coughs or other indications of "flu"
will not be permitted after today to
go back until after the holidays. This
was announced yesterday following a
conference between Superintendent
Grout and City Health Officer Parrish.
Only four school days remain before
vacation time.
. More than 200 children applied to the
City Health Bureau yesterday for per
mission to return to school after being
out with -a cold or "flu." Diagnosis in
such cases is extremely difficult, and,
because of the fact that influenza is
most contagious after the fever leaves,
it was decided to keep the children at
home for a few days to avoid danger
of further outbreaks of the epidemic
among school children.
Epidemic reports for llonday Indi
cated that the disease may at last be
under control. Covering 48 hours, ISO
cases and 18 deaths were recorded. This

BAD BOY STUDY PLANNED
.MAYOR. BAKER XAMES COMMIT
TEE TO INVESTIGATE.
Increase in Petty Thefts Is Attrib
uted to Lads Seeking
Adventure.
Portland's bad boy problem is to re
ceive the special attention of the best
thinkers the City can boast. This was
assured yesterday by the appointment
by Mayor Baker of five men who are
. to investigate the matter from every
angle and to make a completer report
with recommendations to the city.
C. C. Colt, head of the Boy Scout
movement : Dr. JoTin H. Boyd, ex-Mayor
Albee, Chief of Police Johnson and
Rabbi Wise were named. In addition,
these five are to select two mothers,
who will deal with the problem from
"the "mother angle."
The rapidly increasing number of
thefts and cases of petty larceny re
ported to police and ascribed to boys
of the ages 12 to 15 has prompted the
inquiry, according' to Mayor Baker.
"The men I have named," said Mayor
Baker, "are all practical men all have
bad intimate contact with the boy
problem in some form or other. They
should be able to survey the field and
recommend action along some definite
corrective line."

him an offer from the Famous Play

of selections, under the nom de plume
of H. B. M. Koff, which have been meet
ing with the enthusiastic approval of
the Liberty Theater patrons.
"The Sequel to Tarzan" is an unusual
photoplay, with an abundance of action
in every scene, which does not permit
one bit of the photoplay to become uninteresting.
It is not necessary to have seen the
first Tarzan picture to appreciate this
one, for at the first of the picture a few
scenes are introduced which give the
necessary explanations.

EVANS SAYS 1VE IIP RIFLES
DISTRICT ATTORN KV THINKS
THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE.
Sheriff Hurlburt Accepts Opinion
and Puts Matter Up to Coun- '
ty Commissioners.
If the views of District Attorney
Evans with regard to surrender of
the 623 rifles Adjutant-General
Beebe asks Multnomah County to re
turn to the state prevail with the
County Commissiones, the guns will
be given up. Mr. Kvans said yester
day there is no doubt in his mind
that, under terms of the bond given,
the county must turn back the rifles
when demand for them is made
through the Adjutant-General's office.
Sheriff Hurlburt stated that the Dis
trict Attorney's conclusion in the mat
ter would be accepted by him.
The question of giving up the rifles,
now in the hands of the Multnomah
Guard, was referred yesterday by
Sheriff Hurlburt, commander of the
Guard, to the County Commissioners.
Joint bond for the safe keeping and
return -'. the rifles was given orig
inally by Mr. Hurlburt and the Com
missioners. The Commissioners did
not make known their attitude in the
matter yesterday. Presumably they
will follow the District Attorney's ad
vice. In a letter sent by Adjutant-General
Beebe to Mr. Hurlburt on Saturday, the
state official requested the return of
the rifles that they may be exchanged
with the Government for others of
later model. Members of the Multno
mah Guard Immediately expressed
fears that they will jiot receive any
of the new rifles. The Adjutant
General does -not nromixA that fhv
I will, merely polntlnir to the fact that
distribution of Government - owned
arms Is made at the discretion of the
Governor.
