Claims presented to the city ol Portland by creditors of Hans Peder son, who constructed the publicaudl torium, amounting to approximately $76,000 will not be allowed by the city council. This was decided by ma jority members of the council at an Informal meeting. Creditors and bondsmen contend that throuKh changes demanded by city officials In materials used In the building and because of conditions which arose because of the war, the contractor was forced to expenses which the city Is morally obligated to pay. . Investigation Is Made. After the claims had been presented by J. C. Bayer, trustee. Mayor Baker appointed a committee composed of William F. Woodward, Otto R. Hast- wlg-, Franklin T. Griffith, Marshall N. Dana and E. B. McNaughton, to in vestigate and make recommendations to the council. After a thorough investigation, this committee reported that, in its opin ion, there la justly due to the claim ants from the city such sum of money as will reimburse them for the losses for which they cannot be held prop erly responsible. The committee rec ommended the appointment of a com mittee of fair-minded men, engineers and experts Qualified by training and experience, to determine the exact amount which'the equities may indi cate. The committee also cited the f act I that Mr. Pederson had contracted for stone from a quarry in Washington, and that city officials urged the cut ting of the stone in Portland, so that it might aid In relieving the unem ployment situation which existed at this time. Action Held Optional. Members of the present city coun cil, which Includes Mayor Baker and City Commissioner Bigelow, contend that Mr. Pederson was merely requested to cancel his quarry con tract, that he was not obliged to do so, and any losses which were sus tained by virtue of this act cannot be charged to the city. "As far as I am concerned," said Mayor Baker, "I do not believe that this council has the authority to pay any part of the claim. If the creditors feel that the money Is due them, they should go before the voters at the next election and allow the people to d'eclde the issue. Although Mayor Baker feels that the council cannot pay the claims, he Is willing to submit the question to the voters. City Commissioner Bige low, however, is not willing even to do that. He holds that the city is not legally responsible and refuses to give any further consideration to the claim. , Commissioner Barbur does not be lieve the city has any legal right to ray the claims, and City Commission er Pier, who was not a member of thti . council when the contract with Mr. Pederson was made, is willing to fol low the advice of his colleagues. City Commissioner Mann was not present at the meeting at which the question was discussed. AD CLUB "JINKS" F "BILL" STBAXDBORG BLACK SMITII OF rMPIlOMJ'TC TOY Retiring President Ejected From Stage for Being Too Serious. Officers Initiated. Beneath a phony enestnut tree The village smithy stood; The smith, a comic cuss was he His wife was also good. "Bill" Strandborg, blacksmith of the tmpromptn village settled on the top floor of the Oreg-on building Thurs day by the Portland Ad club, easily outclassed the rest of the settlement when it came to presenting a com plete and striking picture. "Bill" and his amiable consort, who ap peared in a hat of the mode of 1860, among other things, were only two among many weirdly costumed of the Ad club villagers. Ad club members oelebrated their annual "Jinks" Thursday and Initiated officers for the year 1920. There was but one serious moment in the whole show. That came when Marshall N. Dana, retiring president, in making a reply to a presentation speech, sought to express himself In a. manner not In accord with "Jinks" atmosphere. President Dana was forthwith thrown off the Btage for being "too goldurn serious." The officers-elect, Edward . N. Strong, president; W. S. Kirkpatrick, vice-president; George L. Rauch, sec ond vice-president, and William J. Piepenbrlnk, secretary-t reasurer. were inaugurated as no officers were ever Inaugurated outside of an Ad club "Jinks" by Master of Ceremonies Morrow, whose cardinal gown got by until It proved to be a bathrobe. A musical programme that warmed the cockles of the heart was present ed by the village talent. Topllnlng the bill was a danseuse about knee high to the village grasshoppers, who danced two solo dances in the dubious ""opry -house" stage. Other numbers were wildly applauded, notably the Hawaiian dunce, which bade fair to disrupt the morals of the village. "Constabule" John T. Dougall, "Red" Riggs. Parson John Etheridge. "Dude" English, "Kid" Strong and Trombonist Jenkins were among the prominent villagers having a good time. "Doc" Hpblnson's wife was there, and so was Mrs. "Bill" Piepen brlnk. Jane Hlnkey and Eva Annls wore their best calico dresses and bad a fine time. GRANGERS ACQUIRE MILL Flour Mill and Feed Plant at En gene Are Taken Over. EUGENE, Or., Jan. 9. (Special.)

Al "W. Peters, Mat sir! A nrrhflrrtist who declared he observed the birds sitting on frozen! apples, thawlnr the fruit until it was edible, characterized them as wiser than owls. Oscar Vanderbilt, another east side grower, who has been co-operating with the Hood River County Game Protective association In feeding' the pheasants throug-h the frigid weather, recently said' China cocks are pos sessed of a chivlary and courtesy that is impressive. "I have some 100 regular pheasant boarders near my barnyard," said Mr. Vanderbllt. "Daily I scatter wheat for them, the handsome birds come from all directions. But the roosters all stand .to one side until the ben birds have eaten their fill. No China cock ever feeds until females are all through." The local game association has dis tributed food to various parts of the valley. Approximately $100 has been spent for grain for the pheasants, quail and grouse. State Game War den Shoemaker has offered to pay for a, half of the feed. 1 -WAY TRAFFIC EXPECTED Recommendation s of Committee Forwarded to Council.
