HONOR GUESTS SPEAKERS 4 ELECTRIC MEN TURN SCENES AT MAY APARTMENTS FIRE, WHERE FIREMAN WAS KILLED AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED. I Varied ITses of Electricity- Said to Be Instrumental in Luring City Dwellers Back to Farms. What was termed a "high Toltage programme," with speeches by "100 volt men," who told those present "watts watt" in the electric world. was pulled off yesterday noon at the luncheon of the. Portland Ad club, with Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company and president of the Northwest Klectric Light & Power association, as chairman of the day. Nothing shocking occurred, but cur rent topics were featured all along the lino of transmission. A "juicy" menu was served. Honor guests were the delegates to the convention of the Northwest Electrical association, in session here. The chief speakers were H. W. Ayles worth. executive manager of the Na tional Electric Light association, with headquarters in New York, and Rob ert Sibley, editor of the Journal of Electricity. San Francisco. Mr. Sib ley's remarks were along scientific and technical lines. Coast Leads In Development. That the Pacific coast is far ahead of other sections of the United States in the development of hydro-electric power, was the declaration 01 sir. Aylesworth. He characterised Mr. Griffith as standing In the front rank of electrical power men in this coun try and that. Inasmuch as Mr. Griffith will be president of tne national asso ciation in 1925, the convention here is assured. "Mr. Griffith is always thinking of Portland." said Mr. Aylesworth, "ana whenever attending conventions, such as the electrical meeting in the east, he slips over something like a resolu tion, commending his native city and state for holding a big exposition in 1925. "The development of electrical en crgy has reached a very high stage on the Pacific coast, ahead of ail otnei sections of the country. There is nothing so important as this great work, for bv it the so-called back-to- the-farm movement is being realized more than in any other manner. There are a lot of fellow all over the coun try advocating this farm movement who don't know anything about a farm wouldn't know one if they saw it. ami they know nothing of how to get folk back to the rarm. Electricity Aids Shifting. "People are drifting back to the farms a whole lot faster, now that electricity in all of its varied uses is being applied to rural life. When ytiu make that life as comfortable and as profitable as city life, then you will get your people back to the farms and not before. There are 2.000.000 farmers using electricity in this country now and there will be 6. IKK), 000 of them using It just as eoon as they can ret It. Mr. Aylesworth declared that serv. ice is the keynote of modern electrical development and that the successful corporation dispensing electrical en ergy is the one which supplies the $75,000 BLAZE SWEEPS MAY pest oi service. ie citeav as an in feS-l v-.w-IKlP IB life vr.-fv 14M?4r, :l3iffc4i3 IFt: - ivli !r" Ir-' B,:i.: i,a Mi, :, , .raartlKl &ttZ$xxs iX.--. ,?x-.- .

He received a telegram asking for help, and replied that he would send luO men, all ex. pert engineers, to help extricate the plant and get it in operation, but before he could start them he got word that the local engineers em. ployed by the company had gotten it under way by unceasing toil. State Regulation Supported. State commissions, rather than mu nicipal officers, Sir. Aylesworth said, should regulate great power corpo rations. The latter, he said, should be carefully supervised and their properties adequately protected, for the public good. He related the ex. perience of Toledo, O., where the street car company's franchise was revoked and the cars stopped, only to be called into operation again when a great snow storm demonstrated the utter inability of jitneys to handle tne trailic. "It is becoming thoroughly known and more than ever realized by the general public that great utilities are merely public servants and should be treated fairly," concluded Mr. Ayles- wortn. -jaervice is the keynote and, with that given unsparingly, the peo. pie wili respond and stand by the utilities and will see them through uieir present financial difficulties."

Another theory was that It may have started from defective wiring. Fire Gains Rapidly. The fire was first discovered by N. Anderson, manager of the place, 'hn wnji work ins: In the basement a the time. He noticed the smoke and running to the door of the toolhouse found the interior to be a mass of flames. He called to his wile, wno sent in the alarm and attempted to put the fire out by the use oi burket of water. The flames, however, fed Dy tne oaint. spread rapidly to the remain der of the building and in a few min utes the fire was sweeping out the roof. H. H. Francisco, a paralytic, "was rescued with difficulty by a squad of firemen shortly after the arrival of the fire department. He was car ried down a fire ladder to safety. As eoon as Chief Young arrived on the scene he dispatcned tran Nich, fireman of truck 1, into "the building with a gas mask.

Bids for repair work on the Morri son-street bridge were not acted upon finally by the board of county com missioners at its meeting yesterday morning, but were postponed until this morning to await further infor mation. Bids probably will be award ed today. Claims of Butler Bros, of Minneap olis for a refund of taxes collected from that firm by Multnomah county for the years 1918 and 119, amount ing to S1392. fell upon deaf ears, the commissioners relying upon the opin ion of district Attorney Evans that building and had been overcome with the flames before they had been able to make their escape. Slack Apparatus Is aClled. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the fire was entirely under control. Ten fire engines and three trucks were called out by the two alarms sent in and probably 20 lines of hose were laid to 'the building in the work of fighting the flames. Some of the effort of the fire de partment was expended in preventing the spread of the flames to the nearby buildings, particularly the Maxwell Hall apartments to the south Karl Uunster, the dead fireman. had been in the fire department for the past eight years, coming here from Scranton, Pa., where h ehad been the claimants had no legal right to a emnloved in the fire ieDartment. In rciurn oi w lax payments, it was alleged by Butler Bros, that they maintain only a salesroom in Port land where' sales are effected through showing of samples and orders are filled from the Minneapolis head quarters and therefore taxes could not be laid against stocks in another state. T. H. Sherrard, forest supervisor, advised the board he had been com pelled to put one extra man to work at the Eagle-creek camp grounds at an expense for three months of $300, and asked that the commissioners pay this expense, to which the board agreed. A letter was received from F. S. Stimson, president of the Pacific In ternational Livestock exposition, ask ing that the county appropriate $4500 out of a special fund received by the county to pay premiums and prizes in that amount at the show here next November. The commissioners placed the Utter -on file and will make the appropriation In due course, since a considerable time intervenes before the money will be required. addition to being president of the fire-fighters' association here, he had also been elected a delegate to the international convention of fire fighters which will be held in Cleve land, O., in September. He was also a trustee of the J-.aoor Temple and a Spanish-American war veteran. Rank of Lieutenant Once Held.

Following the alarm Police Captain Moore proceeded to the cene with about 30 policemen to take care of the crowd and assist in the rescue work.. The policemen strung ropes about the streets to keep the crowds from interfering with the work of the firemen. Many of the policemen also assisted the firemen in carrying per sons from the building down the ladders.
