Job a II. Hartog;.
John H. Hartog has been se
lected successor to Sam C. Brat
ton as sales manager and head
of the advertising and publicity
departments of the Portland Gas
& Coke company, according to
announcement made by H. M.
Papst, general manager of the
firm. Mr. Bratton recently left
for New York. Mr. Hartog came
to Oregon a number of years ago
at the request of the late Tom
Richardson to take charge of
publicity work in Eugene and
has since been known as the
man who "put Eugene on ' the
map." Recently Mr. Hartog has
been engaged in the building of
bungalows at St- Johns for shipbuilders.
The. police not only intned to put a stop
to the gaming in the Chinese section,
but they have likewise decided to make
thorough clean-up throughout the
city, and are preparing for a big swoop
upon the so-called clubs" In down
town office buildings.
It was rumored yesterday at police
headquarters that the police have evid
ence of eight or nine wide-oen gamb
ling houses which are in full opera
tion day and night. These places cater
largely to shipyard workers, say the
police and many wives have frequently
complained of their husbands losing an
entire month's wages in a day.
The police beretofer had found a
barrier in the fact that most of the
cluBfe take out state licenses as social
clubs. Sufficient evidence has been
gathered, it is, said, to make the police
certain of their ground.

Hippodrome.
iVRRY . SLATKOS' Revue, held
over from last week's bill at the
Hippodrome, added color and action
to the new bill and delighted the aud-
ence immeasurably. Two exceeding
ly graceful girls, both of them talent
ed dancers, and five men compose the
revue. Three of the men are must
clans and make as much music as a
big orchestra, playing with animation
and skill. The . two girls and their
men partners whirl rapidly through
fascinating dance steps and continually
spring . terpsichorean surprises. The
act is sroreeously staged.
An act which made a big and in
stant bid for popularity was L. Ayres
Mantell and company, presenting a
petite cabaret revue in which wee
manikins appear as entertainers and
dancers. The miniature men aiM wo
men figures dance naturally through
many measures and arouse sustained
merest, xne act is cleverly managed
to suggest realism.
Oeorge Gregoire and dainty Mae N'e
ville, his assistant, offer an unusually
diverting series of balancing feats, in
which he nonchalantly lifts and car
ries up a ladder every movable article
on the stage. The act holds comedy,
too, of a good order.
Arthur Don and Patty, a smiling
girl, present a smart little skit entitled
Kidding the Women, full of nimble
wit and keen repartee. This act is
quite popular.
xne .Naios Trio are three men musi
cians who play the contertina and big
narp ar.a violin aengntlully aim are
warmly applauded.
A female baritone is "Winifred
Stewart, whose voice has all the ele
ments of a deep masculine singing
voice and is quite novel., . .!
The photoplay features Mary "Miles
Mlnter, always a favorite, in a new
production called "The Amazing Im
postor," 'which has a delightfully
humorous twist and is full of romance,
excitement and good acting.
Temperance Workers to "Meet...
PENDLBTOS, Or., March 13. (Spe
cial.) The annual county Institute
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will be held in Pendleton next
Tuesday in. the clubrooms of- the
county library. Delegates are expected
from each town in the county. Most
of the speakers will be women active
in the work in the county, but a num
ber of the state workers will be
present,- . among them Mrs. Mattie
Sleeth, state president of the organization.
OLTMPIA, "Wash., March 13. (Spe
cial.) Earlier prospects of final ad
journment of the Washington, legisla
ture by noon vanished today in a debris
of conference committee disagreements,
and, by this evening's outlook, the
clock probably will have to be stopped
at midnight a subterfuge by which
the legislature stretches the constitu
tional limit of 60 days in session.
Tonight's blockade centered on sen
ate bill 13S and senate bill- 193. The
first places auto stages and auto vehi
cles generally that are operated for
passenger revenue tinder regulation by
the public service commission. The
house amended this to exclude cars
operated by the owner or member of
his family, for which conference com
mittees substituted a new section de
signed to include only cars profession
ally operated. The house by an over
whelming majority rejected this com
promise and served notice on the sen
ate that it would not recede from the
original amendment. Senator Phipps,
author of the bill, stated later that he
would move an indefinite postpone
ment of the measure this evening un-
ess the house vote is reconsidered.
Salary Rise Bill Mar Die.
Senate bill 193, which underwent one
conference committee spasm after an
other most of, the day, reclassifies all
counties of the state and increases official-
salaries an average of about 25
per cent, with several of the larger
counties to exceed this rate. Various
influential members of both houses
would patiently see the bill die of its
prevailing complications, as there is
believed to be no pressing necessity
for it beyond the county officials'
lobby that has shepherded it through
the session thus far.
Meanwhile both Jiousea have passed
the necessary concurrent resolution
authorizing last-minute introduction of
a bill drawn to modify alarming pos-
siDUities aroused by a recent decision
of the supreme court on tax levy limi
tation. The constitution requires that
property be assessed at its true fair
value in money and that the rate be
uniform over the state. The 1913 ses
sion passed an act fixing the assess
ment rate a(not more than 50 per cent
of the actual valuation, the result of
which provision is that hardly any two
coCnties have the same rate.
Assessed Valuation Made Basin.
In an appeal from the city of Bel-
Iingham the supreme court held that a
levy of 13 mills, based on a 40 per cent
assessed valuation, does not legally
constitute an excess over the charter
limitation of 8 mills based on actual
value following closely the constitution
al requirements.
Seattle legislators especially awoke
to the realization that their city gov
ernment could, If It desired to. expand
$20,000,000 indebtedness limit to t40.
000, OOt, and a frantic search began to
discover a means of keeping withiit tha
constitution without complying with its
provisions and etill retain charter lim
itation. The result is a bill drawn by
the attorney-general which defines the
term valuation as used in relation to
tax levies as meaning assessed valua
tion instead of actral value.
Is'obody pretends to know definitely
whether the supreme court will accept
this as a valid modification of the con
stitution, but it will be tried one time,
if the two houses can get to' working
in the same yoke for the few hours left
:n which they may legally function.
