REFERENDUM MOVE FAILS
Anion oT Legislature, Taken on
Fir. Day of Session, Not Af
fected by Litigation.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 17. (Spe
cial.) Washington has officially rati
fied the national prohibition amend
ment without waiting for a referen
dum vote in 1920.
Completion of the official canvass
of referendum petitions by the sec
retary ofr state today finds' the peti
lion 1668 names short of the total of
"L',K57 names of legal voters necessary
to invoke a referendum. The total sig
natures on the petitions counted to
day is ao."j89.
Both houses of the Washington
legislature last winter adopted a reso
lution ratifying the national dry
amendment on the first day of the
session. A referendum was filed
;igninst this resolution soon after the
legislature adjourned by John l'
Murphy, attorney in this state for tho
nssoeiated wine grape growers of Cal
ifornia, t'pon advice of the attorney
general, T. M. Howell, secretary of
state, rejected the filing, but as tho
result of subsequent litigation the
supreme court held a ratification resi
lution sublet to referendum with
other acts of the legislature.
Attorneys for the grape growers,
who had subsequently been joined by
distillery and brewing interests, filed
their referendum petitions on the last
day of the statutory period of 30 days
following adjournment of the legisla
ture, but before the official check of
signatures had been completed they
brought an action in the supreme
court to compel the counting of names
of petitioners who hud permitted their
registration to lapse by failing to
vote at the last election.
This question was decided against
the referendum supporters by the su
preme court and a rehearing denied
a few days ago, since when the secre
tary of state has resumed the canvass
witii the result announced today. As
no further court action is believed
possible, it is officially considered
that Washington is legally listed with
the states that have registered their
prohibition ratifications with the sec
retary of state of the United States
at Washington. D. C.

LITTLE BOLSHEVISM SEEN
FATHER SHEEIIAX OF BEND
RETURNS FROM EUROPE.
France Believed to Be Suffering
Most as Result of War.
Pope Is Visited.
BEND, Or., Dec. 17. (Special.)
After a four months' absence, the
greater part of which time he spent
in Ireland, and on a trip to Rome,
where he was given an audience by
the Pope, Father Luke Sheehan of the
Bend Catholic church, returned today.
Father Sheehan, who is head of the
American mission attached to the
Irish province of the Franciscan or
der, made the trip primarily to be
present at the triennial election in
Dublin of superiors of the order. He
spent six weeks in Dublin and Cork,
the latter city being the place of his
birth, and was in England, France,
Belgium and Italy in the course of
his trip to Rome.
"I did not see nearly the suffering
and poverty in Europe that 1 had ex
pected," Father Sheehan said in com
menting on economic conditions.
"France seemed to be experiencing
the worst results from the war, but
on the whole the European countries
appear to be recovering rapidly. I
saw little evidence of bolshevism."

1920 Budget Provides $600; Mann
Favors Appropriation : About 40
Free Cases Handled Daily.
ApDeal for an added appropriation
of $1200 for the operation of the free
dispensary and clinic at Fourth and
Jefferson was made before the city
council yesterday by a committee
composed of Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie,
Miss Helen Pritchard and Mrs. Helen
Ladd Corbett.
The council allowed the institution
$600 in the 1920 budget to defray ex
penses, but the delegation explained
that last year in addition to $600 al
lowed from the general fund, the dis
pensary was given $400 worth of med
icine from the health bureau and also
was given $300 toward payment of an
extra nurse employed by the organi
zation. Dr. Mackenzie explained that the
dispensary handled the cases of about
40 indigent persons each day and the
work of the dispensary was one of
the most worthy conducted in the
city. The sum asked in addition to
the regular appropriation, he ex
plained, was small and he urged the
city to give the matter favorable con
sideration. Commissioner Mann announced that
he would introduce an ordinance pro
viding for the appropriation asked.
Commissioners Barbur and Bigelow
announced that they would insist upon
time to consider the matter.
VANCOUVER HAS NO GAS
Skating on Columbia Stopped, but
Ice Is Xot Yet Breaking XTp.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Dec. 17.
(Special.) Although warm weather
has prevailed for the last 24 hours
and rain has fallen, ice in the Colum
bia river has not started to break up.
Skating has been stopped by water
on the surface of the ice.
In addition to much damage that
resulted today from leaking roofs,
Vancouver was without gas, due to
freezing of the main between this
city and Portland. Restaurants that
depended wholly on gas for cooking
purposes closed their doors and the
newspaper, being untble to heat
metal in its linotype machines, re
turned to the hand-setting process.
Vancouver streets were being
cleared of snow through the use of
road graders drawn by a gasoline
tractor.

All prizes in the poultry show com
petition at the auditorium were
awarded yesterday with the exception
of the ranking prize for the best
dozen eggs displayed. So close was
the competition between two assort
ments that the judges were obliged
to wait for daylight to assist them in
making the decision.
The big prize of the show, $50 in
cash, was awarded to a Portland man,
W. H. Mead. 6023 One Hundred and
First street Southeast, for his collec
tion of Rhode Island Reds. This breed
had the largest representation for the
How to get
full value
In past years, eighty per cent of the
men who came to a clothing store
called for a garment by price or by
color. Many men knew how much
they would pay; others knew what
color they would take.
Now men call for a garment by the
name of the maker. They are satis
fied to compromise on color to get
quality. They are willing to pay a
little more to get full value for every
dollar. They want to know what's
back of the color, what the price
really means in quality.
Yon don't judge an automobile by
the color it is painted. You want to
know who made it. Clothes must now
be bought the same way. Don't part
with your money until you know the
name of the maker, until you are sure
of genuine quality and real value.

E. F. Batten, who brought his birds
down from Hood River in hia cat on
Sunday, took several prizes with
Rhode Island Reds.
The poultry show will be open on
Sunday, since its opening was delayed
one day because of the weather. The
storm kept only a few birds out of
the show, Utah entries failing to get
in. but entries from North Dakota
arriving safely.
A feature of the programme for to
day will be the serving of rabbit meat
sandwiches at noon.
TRAIN SERVICE RESTORED
Old Schedules Resumed Travel
f
Restrictions Are Off.
After discontinuance of trains for
ten days under the order of the rail
road administration for reduction of
service 30 per cent to conserve fuel,
the railroads centering at Portland
resumed normal conditions at 12:01
A. M. today.
The curtailment of service for ten
days was a fortunate circumstance, as
one official expressed it, because it
lessened the number of trains that
had to be handled in the storm period,
never excelled In severity, and did not
greatly impair the facilities for a
number of days more than it would
otherwise have been interrupted.
All trains discontinued will be re
placed today. All restrictions on
travel are removed.
GUARD SUPPORT FAVORED
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DI
RECTORS OX RECORD.
General Pershing Asked to Extend
Stay In Portland to Permit
of Ceremonies.
Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday went on record as
favoring providing necessary funds
for maintaining the Oregon national
guard. It was the opinion that the
state should finance the needs of the
organization, but if it fails to do so
the directors were unanimous in
recommending that the county com
missioners include in the budget suf
ficient to supply the fund. It is es
timated that 111.000 will be necessary.
The directors discussed at some
length the unemployment situation
and approved the action of the com
mittee created to handle details for
placing ex-service men in jobs.
It was the consensus of opinion
that General Pershing be urged to
extend the time allotted for his Port
land visit in order that the people
through the various organizations
may have an opportunity to pay their
tribute to the commander of the
American forces overseas. Judge C.
H. Carey, chairman of the entertain
ment committee, called a meeting of
representatives of various interested
organizations, including the American
Legion, Pershing's rifles, the veterans
of foreign wars, and others to meet
with liiui at noon today to consider
plans for entertainment of the visi
tor a month hence. Numerous tele
grams were sent yesterday urging
the general to remain here one more
day, as the few hours allotted is
deemed insufficient for adequate pub
lic ceremonies.
