TILT ENLIVENS SESSION
Major Baker 'and Coe 3IcKenna
Clash as Latter Argues Against
Proposed Law.
Benefits and evils of zoning were
fcrouptit to view in a public
hearing before the city council yes
terday, which culminated with the
passage of the proposed building
ordinance to . third reading. The
measure will come before .the city
council for adoption or rejection
JVedneAday, March 3.
Passage of the oroinance by the city
council will result in the Invocation
of the referendum, bringing the pro
posed ordinance before the voters at
the next rity election, according to
Roger Sinnott,. who pleaded with the
members of the council to refer the
measure to the voters arrtt thus save
the opponents the xpenee of circu
lating petitions.
Opinio Freely Givern.
Sentiment' in connection with the
"ordinance was fairly well divided, the
opponents utilizing the entire morn
ing session of the council, with the
proponents In the majority during the
afternoon session. Fully 2o persons
expressed their opinions before one
of the largest crowds that has ever
attended a Council meeting in recent
. ears.
Representatives of various clubs
appeared before the council - recom
mending passage of the zone ordi
nance. D. K. Nickerson, president of
- the central labor council, carried la
bor's indorsement of the plan, saying
that after careful consiaeration the
building trades council had indorsed
it, and that following this actio the
central labor council, which includes
representatives of all labor organi
zations in Portland, had voted to in
dorse the measure as one necessarj
to the future growth and prosperity
of the city.
Arthur M. Churchill of the Oregon
- civic league and H. W. Barnes, repre
senting the Portland Chapter of
American Kngineers, favored the pass
age of the ordinance by the city cun
" cu, while Herbert Gordon, legislator
and builder, vigorously opposed ,the
ordinance, saying that it was the
duty of the council to refer the
measure to the electorate. ' r
Ignoraare Held A r mi meat. ' -In
a brief statement, J. P. Newell,
president of the city planning coiu
- mission, fathering , the ordinance,
spoke in favor of its adoption. Mr.
Newell was one of the last speakers
at the hearing and virtually closed
the case for the proponents.
"The ignorance displayed by certain
speakers in opposition to this plan,
speakers who are presumed to know
the most about it, is one of the best
arguments that 1 can ad van for
not submitting this measure to the
voters," argued Mr. Newell. . "The
zoning ordinance is not alone a prin
ciple, which can be disposed of as a
bond election or something of ;that
sort. One part of the ordinance is
the work of an attorney, another
part concerns that with which build
ers alone are familiar, and so on
through the ordinance."
Fred German, president of 'the
Portland realty board, in arguing
against the passage of the ordinance
at the present time, suggested that
the city council send notices to every
property owner in the city, notifying
such property owner of the proposed
classification decided upon in his case.
Such a plan, he contended, would give
every property owner notice of the
action contemplated. Not doing so.
he insisted, would leave many prop
erty owners witnout knowledge of
what was being done, and such prop
erty owners would awaken to the true
realization of the truth, when the
ordinance had been adopted by the
council. '
Referendum la Ajuiared
Roger Sinnott, an attorney, assured
members of the city council that he
would aid in placing -the referendum
on the measure, should the council
adopt the proposed ordinance. Air.
Sinnott, in beginning his argument,
inferred that the members of the
council, who were sitting in the ca
pacity of judges, were prejudiced in
favor of the measure.'
Mr. Sinnott contended that zone
ordinances io effect in other cities
were not as drastic as Is the proposed
ordinance drawn for Portland, that
less than 10Ou persona attended the
neighborhood meetings and assisted
In the drafting of the ordinance, and j
that because the proponents of the !
measure have had the "taxpayers'
money" to scatter propaganda favor-
ing the measure, the opponents should :
be favored to the extent of having
the zoning ordinance referred to the
vote of the people by the city council.
Clank Preelplttfted.
Kumvr crept into the hearing sev
eral times yesterday morning, and
only once was a serious clash precip
itated. This -was brought about when
Mayor Baker interrogated Coe A
McKenna Jr., vice-president of the
Portland realty board, who had just
concluded a lengthy talk againvt
adoption of the ordinance.
"Has anyone a right to an opinion
except the realty board and your
self?" asked Mayor Baker.
".Don't answer that question. Coe.
shouted Roger Sinnot, an avowed opr
ponent to the xoning plan. "It's an
insult." ,. ,
For a moment the council chamber
resounded with voices picking up Mr.
Stnnot's sentiments. Mayor Baker
rapped vigorously for order, which,
when attained, was frllowd hy an
altercation between the mayor and
Attorney Sinnott.
"Bo you wish to take part In this
deliberation?' sought Major Baker.
"That's my business," notly replied
Mr. Sinnott.
"It's mjr business to put you tut
of this room if you don't behave your
self," shot the mayor.
That the proposed sonfng act lias
elements of socialism and single 'tax
in it was the assertion made by Mr.
McKenna, He contended that the
ordinance Was for the -protection of
wealthy residential districts,' for the
protection of certain business" estab
lishments located in the suburbs of
the city -and that potential business
streets have been designated for
apartment house sites or single fam
ily dwellings, when such streets have
always been recognized and assessed
as business property.
. Caae Is Cited.
Mr. McKenna cited one specific In
stance, where property owned by a
member of his family at Twentieth
and Everett streets has' been desig
nated as single family dwelling prop
erty, whereas a dozen apartment
houses are located around this prop
erty, which, he said, was located vir
tually in the center of the city.
The passage of the xoning act. Mr.
McKenna argued, would necessitate a
complete reclassification of tax val
ues; would require additional entries
in abstracts, which he predicted would
increase the cost to home buyers, and
would give certain protection to ex
clusive residential property that can
not be 'enjoyed by other sections of
the city.
'The zoning act presented tav this
council is not similar to zoning acts
adopted in other cities, such as Los
Angeles, Oakland, St. Louis and New
York. Give us the same kind of xon
ing as these cities have adopted and
you will face no opposition.
Many of the speakers opposed to
the ordinance sought specific changes
in classification, which Mayor Baker
assured them could be obtained if
they would present petitions to the
city council, as is specificed in the
zone act.

MAYOR BAKER'S REPRIMAND
: DEEPLY RESENTED.
Public Censure for Approving Pay
nient of Old Bill for Telegraph .
. Tolls Cause Resignation.
Because Mayor Baker reprimanded
Miss Lvrene Dinsmoore. assistant
commissioner of public safety, in
public meeting of the city council for
approving payment of a bill for tele
graph toils which had been incurred
in October. 1919. By City Attorney
LaRoche, the mayor has been present
ed with the resignation of Miss Dins
moore, . . ' , I
The- resignation has not been ac
cepted by the mayor, who said yester
day that, although he feels the repri
mand was necessary under the 'cir
cumstances, he doe not feel that his
assistant is any more guilty than have
been many other city officials, whose
laxity in approving "prior year" bills
has not been detected.
Miss Pinsmoore. he explained, has
been unusually efficient and capable,
and, although he Is loath to lose her
services from his department, the
mayor Is firm In his belief that his
action was justified and that he has
nothing to retract Action on the res
ignation, ho said, must await develop
ments, although if Miss Dinsmoore
desires to return to her position by
withdrawing her resignation.' the
mayor will permit it.
The resignation submitted by Miss
Dinsmoore takes effect March 10. at
the explruTion of her vacation period.
Before being promoted to the position i
of assistant commissioner of public
safety Miss Dinsmoore served the city
as an expert stenographer.
wherever feasible, and it was stated
by C. H. Beauchamp, representative
of the bureau of markets, livestock
and meat division, in charge of survey
organization, that certain information
gleaned by him and his men has been
turned over to Mr, Palmer for his
guidance.
Mr. Beauchamp reached the city
yesterday from Los Angeles and San
Francisco, where he organizeq ana
directed or a time the constructive
survey undertaken by the department
of which he is a representative. He
is registered at the Hotel Multnoman.
During the day he conferred with
James Christensen, who will have
charge of the work here, in Seattle
and Spokane, and with Will H. Daly,
federal fair price commissioner for
Oregon.
Lower Prices Aim.
Having just reached the city, Mr
Beauchamp made no statement for
publication as to local prices, but Mr.
Daly had previously' called attention
to the fast that, while wholesale quo
tations had showed a high per cent of
decline, there has been no correspond
ing decrease in retail rates.
"The nation-wide survey ordered by
the department of agriculture through
the bureau of markets is a- broad con
structive measure," said Mr. Beau
champ. "It is designed to assist not
only the general public but the trade
as well, by checking on the manner of
doing business, testing carcasses as
to cuts and values and, after having
carefully done thiB, to make a report,
embodying helpful suggestions where
by, if possible, prices may be lowered,
the consumer benefited and with no
unfair advantage against the dealers.

residing Circuit Judge McCourt two
weeks ago.
The Astoria suit is the fifth at
tempt of Keeley to obtain separation
from Evalyn Keeley, once on a cross
complaint, the other times in suits he
filed. He twice was denied relief in
California and his attempt to estab
lish his residence In Oregon and get
his freedom in proceedings brought
in Oregon courts met with a severe
setback when Judge McCourt an
nounced that the circuit court of Ore
gon was not to be made a clearing
house for r-.arital troubles which
other states refused to end.
Keeley received a severe arraign
ment from Judge McCourt, who ac
cused him of apparent bad faith In
the action and of coming to Oregon
for the sole purpose of evading the
refusal of Los Angeles courts to grant
him freedom. The jurist held that
Keeley had absolutely no legal basis
for his suit, as the issues had already
been adjudicated In California.
Granting of the divorce in Oregon
was contested vigorously by District
CPUnni UCfln IC V FPTpn Attorney Evans at the hearing.

EUGENE, Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.)-
I will always be glad to say a good
word for Tanlac for after everything
else I tried had failed, it relieved me
entirely of all my troubles," said R.
D. McSorley, 1615 Thirteenth Street
Seattle, Wash., an employe of the
Skinner & Eddy Shipyards, recently.
"For a number of years," continued
Mr. McSorley. "I had been suffering
from stomach trouble and also with
rheumatism in my legs. 1 kept get
ting worse until I was in a badly
run down condition and hardly able
to do my work. Although I had a
poor appetite and ate very little, noth
ing I ate digested properly and would
sour, causing a bad taste in my
moyth, and I would bloat up so bad
with gas I could hardly get my
breath. I aleo had such intense
cramping pains i n the pit of my
stomach after every meal I could
hardly stand them and suffered with
terrible attacks of heartburn. My
Kidneys bothered me a great deal,
there was always a pain across the
small of my back and the rheuma
tism In my legs pained me all the
time. At night I could not sleep on
account of this pain and would just
roll and toss all night long and in the
mornings felt worse than when I went
to bed. I lost a great deal of weight
and strength and just felt so tired
and wornout all the time I could
hardly get about.
"So many of my friends advised me
to try Tanlac because they said it had
done them a lot of good I decided to
give it a trial. Well, sir, I began to
get better almost at once and it was
not long before 1 had such a good ap
petite I could hardly get enough to
eat and now I can eat anything with
out having a particle of trouble after
wards. The rheumatism has left my
legs entirely, my kidneys are in fine
shape and 1 never have a pain in my
back any more, I sleep like a log
every night and always get up feel
ing greatly refreshed and ready for
my day's work. I have gained sev

gained my strength. In fact 1 am in
