16 THE MORMXG OREGOMAX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1019. MANY BILLS PLANNED IT SPECIAL SESSION Suffrage Ratification Is but Small Part of Schemes. SOLONS HAVE PROGRAMME If Governor Calls Legislature Indi cations Are That Much Busi ness Will Result. If the legislature is called in spe cial session, an assortment of legisla tion is in prospect. Judging from the vi ews of members who expect to be forced to go to Salem, ratification of the woman's suffrage amendment to the federal constitution, which is sup posed to be the reason why a special session ehould be called, will be rele gated to a secondary place. Among the bits of legislation pro posed are: Amending the law creating the court of domestic relations; amend ing the recently enacted irrigation and drainage statute; amending the Bean Barrett bond bill so that there will be no question of this act being elastic enough to meet any and all federal money which may need to be matched in Oregon; legislation dealing with telephone tolls; high cost of living bills; amendment of the oleomargarine law; fish and game legislation. The foregoing mark only the he- irinning. In anticipation of a special session, certain members are now de voting quite a little time to drafting "bills for introduction. One such is resolution to shift the state capital Xrom Salem to Portland Pay Is Expected. Members are invited to serve without pay and also to defray their own trav eling expenses. There is considerable dissatisfaction expressed over this, al though few members want to speak out openly for fear they will be charged with being "tight." The sentiment, however, is that if the state requires their services, the state should pay their bills. A suggestion has been advanced, chiefly from eastern Oregon members, that all mileage be pooled and then each member of the legislature pay l-90th part of the total. The advan tage of this scheme is that the cost of attending the session would then be borne equally by all members, and the eastern Oregon men would not be pen alized in the pocketbook. for living so far away from Salem. The plan, if formally presented, is expected to find an instant opposition from the Marion county delegation. Technical Point Rained. Another point being raised is this: When the legislature adjourned, Feb ruary 27, it adjourned sine die. This is construed as meaning that the old organization died when the legislature quit, and that if the governor issues a call for an extraordinary session it will be necessary to reorganize both house and senate by the election of lMcrnuii6 uim-tio. vti idi iaj ivuun II boomlets have sprouted in the hope of succeeding Speaker Jones or President Vinton, but such things may come into being over night. Half a dozen members have said they are willing to go to Salem for . a day, ratify the woman's amendment and return home. Such action on their part would not prevent a mass of bills being introduced and considered, and the session continuing for a week or longer, providing a majority is will ing to remain and discuss other busi ness. Anyway, It doesn't look like a one day session, if there is a session.

Knglish. manager of the better business bureau, Mr. Green said: "Urge you to make special appeal to all newspapers, banks and investment houses and all buyers of advertising to attend the meeting next Wednesday to hear the story of the nation-wide fight for truth in advertising. The lack of knowledge of this work or failure to understand it properly is depriving many advertisers of actual cash-drawer returns. Let them come and hear the evidence and then render the verdict of the value of this movement, which is becoming so important in the busi ness world that we want' every Port land business man to be informed" His first appearance in Portland will be at themembers' forum of the Cham ber of Commerce Monday noon, when he will speak on the subject, "How Good Will in Business 'ilis tne uasn Drawer." Tuesday he .will speak at Meier & Prank's store, before the Women's Ad vertising club, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs on various prases of his work.

A surprise act on the bill is Wynn Lorraine, who turns out to be something altogether different from the label and appearance. Wynn sings and chats in the cheer-up way. and then springs a surprise which really is one. A capital bicycle turn replete with worth-while comedy is offered by the Sig-. Franz Troupe, consisting of a pretty petite girl and three talented cyclers. The girl is a dolly type, blonde and cute, and does a lot of clever feats. The men are garbed as tramps, and one is a clown. One of the trio gives an exhi bition in riding the highest bicycle made. It reaches far up into the flies, and its rider propels it all over the stage. Two very pretty girls are the Misses Myers and Knise, one of whom is a pianist. The other whistles and sings charmingly. Both have personalities besides and their act is delightful. Gypsy Meredith, assisted by a man partner, offers a clever acrobatic nov elty called '"Live and Let Live," which sparkles with originality. A' alary Miles Minter photo play is featured in which the charming youth ful little Minter plays the leading role in "A Bachelor's Wife," which is highly dramatic and interesting. all things advertised. BUYERS THRONG PORTLAND REGISTRATION EXPECTED REACH 16 00 TODAY, TO Business and Pleasure Combined in Programme for Week Arranged by Ixcal Merchants. All records were broken yesterday when the registration of visiting mer chants for victory Duyers' week reached charges, and a total of 1450. K. N. Welnbaum, charge of buyers week arrangements for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, estimated last night that the regis tration would reach 1600 by noon today. The highest previous record was that chasing agent for the city, received telegram from Fred A. Thompson, major quartermaster corps, zone sur plus property officer at Port Mason. Cal., saying that all the cured meat available for this zone had been dis posed of. Seattle and Camp Lewis took practically the entire supply be fore negotiations that were being con ducted by this city could be completed. Seattle purchased 40,000 pounds and Camp Lewis 37,000 pounds. People of this section who were un able to obtain any of the bacon will have an opportunity to lay in a supply of canned tomatoes, a carload of which has been shipped from Sacramento on order of the city. These are known as "2 solid pack," and retail regular ly for 22 and 25 cents per can. The surplus shipment coming here will be so'd at actual cost. plus freight it is estimated that a charge of 14 cents will prevail. Distribution Is Arranged. In the carload will be 36.000 tins, for which the city will pay $4950 from its appropriation of $35,000, made by the council. This represents a charge of FRAUD IS ALLEGED PROPERTY ALLEGED SOLD FOR DEBT OF $35. of two years ago. when 1200 visitors 13 cents per can, plus the estimated retristered for the entire week Twd trips, one combining business and pleasure and the other attempting nothing but pleasure, were the main events in yesterday's activities. Inspec tion of the Henry Weinhard plant at Thirteenth and Burnside streets proved so interesting to the buyers that when formed in single rank for a cafeteria luncheon they extended for two blocks down Burnside street. Second only to the luncheon in the attractions of the plant was an old-fashioned bar with a brass footraiL where schooners of some thing less than 2 per cent were passed across the mahogany in the time honored manner.

Olds, Wortman & King and Simon Bros., all of whom have agreed to handle the shipment at cost, with free delivery for any quantity. No charge will be made for wrapping or transfer, thus giving Portland housewives the advantage of every saving that can be effected. Mr. Mcintosh says the tomatoes should reach Portland not later than next Monday and disposal will be started immediately. Bacon Buyers Complain. Some regret was expressed when it was learned that Portland had been flcation." Visiting merchants were pro- unable to obtain a supply of the bacon, vided with tickets to all concessions, but when reports were received later in and made full use of their privileges. The programme for today begins with an inspection of Swift & Co.'s plant at North Portland, with luncheon at the plant. An informal banquet in honor of the visiting merchants and their families will be given In the evening at the Chamber of Commerce. Special cars will be on Burnside street from Fifth to Broadway at 11:30 o'clock this morning to take the buyers to the plant in North Portland. Two committeemen will be on duty on each car to answer questions. Buyers week activities will conclude tomorrow with automobile sightseeing trips starting from the Oregon build ing from 1 to 3 o clock in the afternoon. The visiting merchants are reported to be purchasing heavily, but definite figures will not be available for about two weeks. the day from Seattle to the effect that purchasers were complaining of its quality, this disappointment was J allayed somewhat. Negotiations had to be carried on through Mr. Thompson Lt Fort Mason relative to the quality of the meat, and while telegrams were .being exchanged the Seattle and Taco- ma people were able to make personal inspection and contract the entire shipment. Belief was expressed yesterday that other supplies such as flour and other varieties of canned goods may be avail able in the near future and the inclina tion shown by Portland housewives in taking up the tomato shipment will be regarded as an indication of their desires for other purchases by the city.

Property of Mrs. Anna B. Denn, valued at $3000, was sold to satisfy a judg ment of $35 without knowledge of the owner, is an allegation of a suit filed in the circuit court yesterday against Joseph L. Fearey and Zella Eaton, seek ing annulment of the sale and dam ages of $500. Fearey, who is a member of a local collection agency, is specifically charged with fraud in the transaction. The complaint, filed by Attorneys A E. Clark, Malcolm Clark and A. C. Al len, sets forth that Mrs. Dean owed Mrs. Eaton, then Zella Proudfit. $35 for her services as a nurse during a serious illness of the plaintiff, in 1916. and that the bill was turned over to Fearey for collection. He filed suit in dis trict court and in the same year secured a judgment by default for $62.75. It is maintained in the complaint that Mrs. Dean had offered to pay the bill as soon as she could earn the money and, know ing nothing of law, did not understand that a suit had been filed against her. as her husband had been served with the summons. Her home, however, the complaint alleges, was sold under the sheriff's hammer ' and assigned to Fearey. Mrs. Dean, it is said, did not learn of the sale until three days ago, being absent from the city. Ever since the sale, it is maintained, Fearey permitted the tenants in the rented house on the former Dean prop erty to pay their $20 a month direct to Mrs. Dean, in spite of the fact that she no longer held the property. Last month, it is said, the tenants were no tified to pay the new owner, Fearey, in tne future. Mrs. Dean was permitted last fall to pay off a $500 mortgage on the prop erty she no longer owned, she alleges. Yesterday Attorney Allen tendered Fearey $85. which was to pay the $35 judgment and costs, for the return of the property, but met with refusal, and the suit followed. Mrs. Dean is said to support herself and a son 12 years Ola. No Vse in town.
