In the answer filed yesterday the city denies that it has at .any time failed to give proper protection to the public through the police bureau and that at no time was the police bureau acting in collusion with any labor organization.

Suit to test constitutionality of the war-time prohibition law was filed in federal district court here today. -WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Enactment of the prohibition enforcement bill was completed today by congress with the house adopting the conference re port, already agreed to by the senate, and sending the measure to the presi dent for approval. Preceding the house approval of the report by a vote of 321 to 70, vain effort was made to send it back to conference with instructions to eliminate a sec tion permitting state authorities to issue search warrants. Complete congressional approval of the bill means that the days of two and three-quarters beer are num bered. The bill becomes effective as soon as signed by President Wilson j or within ten days, should his illness prevent him from acting upon it. Si multaneous with the president's .sig nature the war-time enforcement sec tion becomes effective.

CALIFORNIA BEAR STOLEN Stanford Students Captnre Golden Symbol of University. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, Cal., Oct. 10. (Special.) The.; golden bear, the symbol of the Uni versity of California, which has made periodical appearances at intercolle giate football games, disappeared from the Berkeley campus this week and is now held in captivity on the Stanford campus. A clever plan laid by several Stanford students resulted in the bear's capture. College spirit has been dampened at Stanford for many years because of the fact that the famous Stanford ax" is in the possession of the boys at Berkeley. It is expected that California will attempt to regain possession of the bear. Admiral Grayson Gives Desired In formation, but Refuses to Al low Return to Duty. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. President Wilson continued to gain strength to day and his physicians announced that his appetite had been restored to a satisfactory state. He was kept in his room again during the day and was permitted to see no one except the physicians and members of his family. He talked over several matters of public busi ness, however, with Rear-Admiral Grayson, his physician, who gave him some detailed information he had asked for. The president now has been on the mend for a week and his physicians seemed much encouraged at his prog ress, though they predicted tnat nia recovery will continue to be very slow. At 10 o'clock tonight Dr. Grayson issued the following bulletin: "The president has again had a good day. (Signed) "GRAYSON." Fearing that exertion might retard his steady progress toward recovery, President Wilson's physicians again ordered him to remain in his room. This prescription the physician in tends to carry out despite Mr. Wilson's urgent request that he be permitted to return to work. President Wilson had another rest ful night, and his physicians are satis fied with the nourishment he Is tak ink, said a bulletin early today by Rear-Admirals Grayson and Stitt and Dr. Sterling Ruffin of this city. A message of sympathy was re ceived at the White House today from the emperor of Japan. It follows: "Hearing with deepest grief of your indisposition, I earnestly wish your prompt recovery."

After a heated contest in which the relative merits of La Grande and Pen dleton were at issue, delegates from the Union county seat in attendance at the State Federation of Labor, con vention today won the selection as the 1920 convention city by a vote of 55 to 37. Astoria, whose representa tives early in the convention had pre ferred their claims for the honor, dropped out of the race and divided their support between the two chief contesting cities. Nomination of officers in prepara tion for a referendum election at the end of 30 days was completed at this afternoon's session and adjournment will be either tomorrow noon or even ing. A number of delegates who had not contemplated so lengthy a meet ing were leaving for their homes to night. An attempt to change entirely the basic principles underlying organized labor through a resolution indorsing the "one-big-union" plan was neatly sidetracked when the measure was tabled by a vote of 37 to 26. Motion for non-concurrence had previously been lost. A resolution upholding the doctrine of self-determination and fa voring independence for the Irish, in troduced by G. H. Baker and others of Bend, carried, as did a recom-' mendation to encourage the disem- j ployment of married woruen. Shorter Day Advocated. Nearly an hour was taken up In de bate over a resolution having as its object, placing the convention on rec ord as favoring a shorter working day. Chief among the arguments used against the measure was that it would be inimical to the farming in terests. That a shorter working day would provide a greater amount of employment and would not hamper production on account of increased efficiency were the chief arguments used by the backers of the measure, led by E. R. Dodds of Portland and L. W. Buck, secretary-treasurer of the Washington federation. The res olution was carried by a decisive ma jority. Featuring the business of the morn ing session was the passage of a res olution handled through the laws and legislation committee asking the fur nishing of free textbooks for the pub lic school of the state, and one sug gesting a change in existing laws to provide for the gradual adoption of a state-owned plant to make possible the laying of hard-surfaced roads at Stack Declines Office. uiscussion or resolutions calling for Jail Preferred to Giving Up Only Means of Earning Living He Knows; Death May Result. "I am too old to learn a new trade. I I cannot accept a pardon under those terrible conditions." The voice of Ham -Kautzman, for mer editor of the Columbia Herald, trembled, for he is an old man and the thought of banishment from the state and the necessity of giving up the business to which he bad devoted his life if he was to escape serving a year more in jail was a staggering blow. Kautzman, in the Multnomah county jail, had just been informed of the fact that Governor Olcott had par doned him conditionally upon his leaving the state and refraining from newspaper work. "My newspaper has suspended pub lication and I am virtually ruined, but my only hope of making a living is in the newspaper busniess," he con tinued, running his hand through hair which 72 years had whitened. "If I must leave the state and can have no more to do with the only trade I know, I would become a public charge on some other state. I prefer to stay- in jail." A reputable physician has informed Governor Olcott that it is homicide to keep the ld man longer in prison, because 'of his frail physical condi tion, which is being seriously endan gered by the confinement. It was on this information that the pardon was issued. The old man was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined 1500 for the publication of obscene matter in his paper. He had no money and was forced to serve time in lieu of the fine, his total sentence thus run ning up to 490 days. He was com mitted to the Multnorn.ah county jail June 7.

Mr. Stack de clared that he needed a rest and said he would not be willing to run again for office.

A great bunch of flowers berlbhoned with red. yellow and gold, the Belgian colors, was presented to the queen and to the king a basket of fruit. The inscriptions read: "To their majesties two heroic figures of the world." Bnby KiNxed Ily King. As the train was about to draw out, one mother held up her baby and King Albert took the little one into his arms as he imprinted a caress. Other ' mothers reached up their arms and the king kissed more than a score of children. King Albert, Queen Elizabeth and Crown Prince Leopold will be in San ta Barbara tomorrow morning where they will epend three days as the guests of Mr. and MrsHerhert Hoover before going to San Francisco.

They waved their handkerchiefs to the queen sitting on the observa tion platform as the train crawled up and through the mountains. They ate their luncheon in the cab with the railroad men. Not content with the view from the cab, they clambered to the top of the baggage car five miles east of Blue canyon and rode there for sev eral miles, Leopold clinging to his father's hand to keep from falling off. They climbed down from tho engine at American canyon, wiping their grimy hands in oil-soaked waste, but paid no attention to the black streaks on their faces. Royalty l'rnlrn Scenery. "It was a fine ride," exclaimed tho prince, as he risked his neck on the top of a 2000-foot descent to get bet ter snapshots of a mining camp on the side of the mountain across ttie canyon. "It is such a wonderful country," exclaimed the queen. Crowds gathered at stations where ever stops were made today. The first was at Sparks, Nev. When en gines had been changed and the con ductor had shouted the time-honored "All aboard," It was found the kins was missing. He had tramp'ed on ahead and the exhilarating air had sent him farther than he intended to go. Queen Center Attention. The queen was the center of at traction at Keno. She was standing on the observation platform with her son when one of the natives ap proached and called: "Is that your only child?" "No," laughingly responded her majesty, "we have three." "Ah, that makes a fine family," was the native's rejoinder. "You have a fine husband too. We re proud of him out here." Queen . lb.abeth graciously bowed her thanks. At another stop an amateur photog rapher intent only on getting a good picture, called out to the kiu5: "Hey, stand over closer to your wife," and his majesty obeyed.

King Albert has been deeply im pressed with America's educational system and attributes the ability of American soldiers to absorb military knowledge in a remarkably short time to the compulsory schooling they re ceive. The king gave today in the first interview he has granted in the linited States some of the impressions he has absorbed since he came to the Cnited States.
