A total of $666.72 was turned In yesterday to the fund which Is being raised to help the needy of the city. This made the total $4236.47. Although the drive for money was formally closed yesterday, checks may be sent today to The Oregonian, which has been the agent of the bu reau in receiving contributions. Af ter today, contributions, should be sent directly to the public welfare bureau in the Court house. The largest contribution turned in yesterday was that of $208.90 from the sale of Centennial chocolate at the Heilig theater. The candy was donated by Lang, Jones & Co. Fif teen dozen boxes of candy were sold to swell the fund. J3y donating the candy, Lang, Jones & Co., turned over more money to the fund, prob ably, than if cash had been sent di rectly to the fund. The boxes ranged in price from 75 .cents to $1.50. Family of Ten in Xred. A case of real want was found by the bureau yesterday in a family of ten living a few miles outside of Portland. The father is a farmer and woodcutter. The family is liv ing In a small tent on a wooded piece or land. The lather has been em ployed in the vicinity cutting wood. The family of ten sleep in one bed, which is the only piece of furniture in the tent except a small stove. All the children are under 10 years of age and there is a young baby. The mother is in the county hospital in a critical condition. The family a few months ago was getting along fairly well. The father had a small stock farm, but lost his property when he could not sell his cattle. Another Tent Is Needed. The family need ' another tent. few pieces of plain furniture, such as a table ana chairs, and the father needs more work. It is thought best not to move them into town, since the latner is equipped to earn money only in the country. The bureau es timates that at least $150 is needed to supply the family with emergency needs. The neighbors in the vicinity have supplied the family with food and have furnished clothing for the chil dren. Contributors to the relief fund yes- Leraay were: COtJXCIIi . WILL INVESTIGATE AMERICAN SODA AVORKS. Charges That Concern Has Violated Prohibition Lead to Action by City Commissioners. The American Soda Works, fre quently mentioned in connection with hearings of soft-drink establishments cited for violations of the. prohibition act, will be" caiied before the council some time next week, according to announcement made yesterday by Act- ng Mayor Bigelow and other mem bers of the city council. A federal prohibition agent con ferred at length with the council and is said to have presented evidence n formally which resulted in the de- ision to cite the large soda works before the council. It also became' - A better service at less cost to the railroads and the general public is the aim of the city of Portland in Its fight to prevent the ousting of the Great Northern and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroads from the use of the Union terminal, ac cording, to the ' declaration of City Attorney LaRoche at the luncheon of the Press club yesterday at the Ben son hotel. ,- There-are but three phases to the situation as we see it," he declared; 'the desire to conserve, to save and to serve. The city is not asking for an out lay for a new station at this time, but merely for temporary expenditures to accommodate the traveling public. Economy Should Be Effected. Mr. La Roche emphasized the fact, that if the two lines were not allowed to use the Union station they would be compelled to erect a new station n the near future, as he said the pub lic would not much, longer submit to Ihn rt t Vl u nracanf mi.v.nth at,... nown that several police officers ,tall.. n. .h... t.9l it nave uecil wui mug ui mc uii ctuuu ui ) the council for a number of weeks collecting data concerning the Ameri can Soda Works. - "We were told by a representative f the government that soft drinks in barrels ready for delivery from the American Soda Works was in excess of the lawful percentage of alcohol,' said Acting Mayor Bigelow. "Other evidence which cannot be revealed at this time will be presented when we call the hearing of the American Soda Works. "So far as I am concerned, I be lieve the' council should put a stop to illicit trading in fermented drinks by going after the manufacturers who are guilty of putting out 'stuff which contains alcohol beyond the legal percentage." City Commissioner Barbur expressed himself as being in favor of going tp the root of the present problem by citing any manufacturer who would not willingly co-operate with the city in the enforcement and against whom evidence is presented which shows that no effort has been made to conv ply withexisting laws. Such manu facturers are far more guilty than be lessening future costs to permit the two lines to use the union sta tion, while at the same time increas ing the convenience for the general traveling public. The proposed changes in the teach ers' tenure law were declared to be contrary to the laws of justice by William F. Woodward, who said the change would place the discharging of the teachers in the hands of the same four or five men who hired them. No Reason for Incompetency. Mr. Woodward said there was no reason why an incompetent teacher should be employed in the first place, owing to the rules laid down for the hiring of them. He emphasized the fact that the teacher must have two years' experience before being em ployed, and that a two-year proba tionary period was required before they came under the jurisdiction of tne teachers tenure law. xir. v ooawaro said tnere was no use to .argue that no other state in the union had a law similar to the present tenure law. i Oregon in Van of Progress.

At least, it is certain that the city council will not rule all gar ages in frame buildings out of bus iness on January 1, as had been intimated. The matter of storage of automo biles in frame buildings was placed in the handsT of city Commissioners Barbur and Bigelow. The latter is in favor of forcing all garages to enter ' fireproof structures at once, although it is believed that he will be willing to concede a short time.
