Complete Change of Purified Air Throughout the Entire Building Every Few Minutes Prefaced by a short debate, the or dinance requiring the wearing of masks in all public gatherings, was Passed yesterday by the City Council by a vote of 3 to 2. Mayor Baker and City Commissioners Barbur and Per kins voted in favor of the ordinance :nd Commissioners Bigelow and Mann coat the negative ballots. The ordinance becomes effective in 30 days from date of passage and can only be annuled through a proclamation by the City Health Officer. The ordinance was blocked several Weeks ago by City Commissioner Mann, who opposed the emergency clause at tached to the ordinance. The ordinance was passed to third reatfing at that time, however, and camo before the Council for final passage yesterday. Barbnr llead for Measure. Kfforts to dispose of the ordinance by giving it no further consideration were halted by Commissioners Barbur and Perkins. The two men opposing the ordinance, Messrs. Mann and Bigelow, had placed a motion before the Coun cil to "bury" the ordinance, but this motion failed to carry. "I am still in favor of the masks be cause I think that they will do some good. I know that if the people are required to wear masks, some will stay at home and not crowd the stores and streets as at present," said Commis sioner Barbur. "Until it is proved to me that the masks are of no value, I will continue to favor wearing them." "It has been proven beyond a doubt that the masks are of no value," said 'omraissioner Mann. "Tbey have dis carded them in California. You might as well compel people to wear gum boots." "Gum boots are all right at certain times," Interposed Commissioner Per Kins. "As to the value of masks you have your opinion and I have mine. Value of MnsKv Doubted. "I believe that this ordinance should be passed so that in the event of an other wave of the disease in 30 days we will have the machinery with which better to combat it." Commissioner Bigelow said that he opposed the ordinance because he was not satisfied that the wearing would provide immunity against influenza He stated further that the records showed the disease to be on the de cline in Portland and said that the need of the masks had passed. Mayor Baker, who registered the de ciding vote, told the Council that he had favored the ordinance when it first appeared and that he had not changed his mind since that time. "I made my little talk when this or dinance was introduced." he said, "and there is no need of reiterating these statements. If the ordinance was a good one then, it is a good one now and I shall cast my vote in its favor." Salary- Ordinance Carries. A few moments following the pas sage of the ordinance City Commis sioner Mann made an earnest plea for The passage of an ordinance providing lor the payment of salary of Harry Up ham, an employe of the sanitary divis ion of the Health Bureau, during a period of 1 2 days that he was ill with influenza. "This man was sent into homes where suspected cases of influenza ex isted," explained Commissioner Mann, "and according to a letter from City Health Officer Abcle. he contracted the disease while on duty," "Do you indorse the recommendation of Dr. Abele?" qirizzed Mayor Baker. "Certainly, I think that he contracted influenza when he entered homes in which the disease was prevailing," answered Commissioner Mann. "Consistency, thou art a jewel," said the Mayor, as he voted in favor of the ordinance. Lillian f.lsh ad Robert Harron. Greatest Thing i "Hearts of Hnmanitj" Shown. SEVERAL hundred guests of Gus A. Mctzger and Sol Baum, of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, witnessed the first Portland showing of the great Jewel production, "Hearts of Humanity." at the Liberty Theater Tuesday night. It was the most elaborate trade showing of a pic ture given here in many months, the production fully meriting attend ance and lavish expressions of appre ciation it received. Alan Holubar produced "Hearts of Humanity," and in at least one par ticular spectacularity and realism of war scenes it's the greatest fictional effort of the camera. The picture deals with war and its effect on the peo ple at home and the innnocent ones who lie in its path. But, with due respects to the tear-compelling pathos, its visualization of war is what makes the picture really great. Its dominant note is a camera re construction, never before approached, of the kaleidoscopic enginery of war in all its particulars. Machine-gunning trenches from biplanes, the fights in Flanders mud. savage Hun violations of Belgian towns and hos pitals and refugees, hand-to-hand en counters, unknown heroisms, the little bright laughs of black days all are something to be proud of in the days of a Griffith, an Ince, and a Tour neur. H. B. Murtagh's organ representa- In the New Griffith Photoplay Special, "The Life." at Liberty Theater. tion contributed much to the appre ciation of the Holubar masterpiece. Columbia. Lila Lee is an attractive young thing, artless and charming, and her new Paramount comedy-drama, "The Secret Garden," is full of pretty senti ment, romance and some rather strained melodrama, but the feature of the new Columbia photoplay bill is not the five-reeler. Honors go to a two reel Western thriller, "The Heir of the Broken O." For dash and "kick" and thrills, the Alfred Henry Lewis "Wolfville" phototale is a concentrated Bill Hart Doug. Fairbanks affair. It's the kind of picture that provides ammunition for the sharpshooters who so often complain that the average five-reeler should be boiled down to a reel or two. Its hero rides his horse into a saloon, taking a part of the door with him; dives through a glass window in making his escape; gives roundup exhibitions of gunnery and horseman ship, and does his spectacular stunts with a neatness and dispatch devoid of the usual "Keep your eyes on me; I'm going to do something big now" preliminary to the average spectacu lar bit. Love story, with hero, vil lain, etc., are all' bundled together into 2000 feet of film. A Mutt and Jeff cartoon comedy- provides the laughs on the bill. M INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC OX WANE Only 49 New Cases of Disease Re ported in Last 2 4 Hours. Additional indications that the influ enza epidemic in Portland is still on the downward trend was given in yester day reports of 49 new cases for the 24 hours ending last night. Four deaths were recorded. All people are urged by Dr. Sommer, in charge of the anti-influenza cam paign, to continue to take the various safeguards that have ben urged by the Consolidated Health Bureau. If these safeguards, such as avoiding crowds and having the sick remain isolated, are carried out. Dr. Sommer believes that Portland can become virtually free of thed read disease. Free prophylactic treatments for Spanish influenza wil be given under direction of the Consolidated Health Bureau, beginning today, to all who apply at the Portland Free Dispensary, Fourth and Jefferson strets. Dr. Som mer has placed Dr. Frank McCauley in' charge of the treatment service, and the office will be open daily from 11 to 12 in the morning, 2 to 5 in the after noon and 7 to 8 in the evening. Emer gency cases that may occur may obtain treatment at other hours upon applica tion. Dr. McCauley has just returned from Camp Lewis, where he was a member of the Army tuberculosis examining board, and where he had much experi ence in the fight made by the Army Medical Service during the influenza epidemic among the soldiers. The pro phylactic treatment given will consist of three inoculations at intervals of about a week. Establishment of the office at the Portland Free Dispensary will afford better facilities than those available at the city laboratory in the City Hall. As soon as possible Dr. Sommer will open another treatment station in the northern section of the city for people unable to conveniently reach Fourth and Jefferson strets. All who have not previously taken preventive treatment for influenza are urged by Dr. Sommer to call on Dr. McCauley for treatment or to get simiUir prophylaxis from their family physician. . In a statement issued yesterday Dr. A. C. Seeley. state health officer, warns all physicians that they must report all cases of influenza, in compliance with the state law.' No excuses will be accepted in the future for failure to properly report new cases for quaran tine, and failure to do so will result In arrest. Dr. Seeley says. Cull Apple Fight On.

FRENCH PRESS IS ROUSED Russian Meeting Results in Par ticularly Biting Sarcasm. BY JAMES M. TUOHT. (Copyright. 1S19. by the New York World. Published by Arrangement.) PARIS, Jan. 24. The attitude of the French reactionary press, which usually represents the French govern ment, toward the decision of the Peace Conference adopting President Wil son's proposal to deal with represen tatives of the various Russian parties on an island in the Sea of Marmora is identical with the words of Percy to Glendower, "Toil may call the spirits from the vast deep, but will the come when ou call them?" tem pered by the feverish hope that they will not. "Pertinax" in the Echo de Paris is particuiarl biting in his sarcasm. He genially recalls the incident that when Constantinople decided to rid itself of dogs that did it scavenging, they were banished to an island in the Sea otMarmora. "For a few weeks one heard terrible cries, then all was si lence." This is the Pertinax forecast of the meeting of allied representatives with Bolshevikl.
