All demarkation linos in the world
of literature were obliterated yester
day afternoon. Fiction, romance, bi
ography, history, poetry and adven
ture, as weli as the arts and sciences,
alt became one jumbled mass when a
small delivery truck driven by Arvitt
l.alne, 7SD Mississippi avenue. Jumped
the curb at Fourth and Morrison
streets and ran into SI Rich's maga
zine and cigar stand.
The machine came east on Morrison
street, made a wild turn, missed by a
hair's breadth a woman wheeling a
perambulator, made a dozen pedes
trians dodge for their lives, hit the
magazine stand and sent its contents I
flying aN over the sidewalk and store,
and pulled up with the radiator Just
a few Inches - frohi the glass cigar
caBe.
The sizeable crowd rushed back to
view the havoc Just as swiftly as it
had scattered from the path of the
machine. They viewed more than
that. Si Rich lost his savolr faire,
equanimity, poise and temper. First
efforts to straighten the mess only
made it worse. Ralph Woods, a clerk,
came to his aid and with the apolo
getic driver they backed the intrud
ing flivver to the street where it be
longed and began segregating the
literature according to its classifica
tions. One woman who thought the baby
carriage had been hit collapsed and
added to the excitement. Police Ser
geant Robson arrived on the scene
and took Laine into custody. He said
he had lost control of the car when
trying to avoid running down a
woman. He was charged with reck
less driving.
The magazines were damaged con
siderably In the scrimmage.

The officers took a good-sized sam

poured kerosene into the vat to ren
der the mash useless. As the outfit
was loaded into (he machines for re

PAY CUT PLAN CRITICISED
Seattle Council -May Permit Car
men's Incomes to Stay Up.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 9. (Spe
cial.) Charges that the city council
is about to slip through a supposed
salary reduction ordinance' which
carries no salary reductions for em
ployes of the city railway department,
although other departments have
been cut. were made by Mayor Hugh
M. Caldwell, speaking before the
Seattle Real Estate association
Under the new salary schedule which
the council is to take up Monday the
city street car men will go on a
monthly pay basis as against the per
diem scale on which they work at
present. Under this arrangement it
is said that the carmen will get as
much pay as they get at present
while other city employes face a cut
of $10 a month.
It is rumored around the city hall
that under the monthly pay basis the
street car men expect to soon have
their one day off In seven and a two
weeks' vacation the same as the men
in the police -and fire departments,
and if this goes into effect it is ex
pected to add $300,000 to the already
heavy burden which the car line re
ceipts are carrying.
TRACK REPAIR HELD NEED
O.-W. R. & N. Line in Favor of
Deferring Building of Depots.
LA GRANDE. Or., Dec. 9. (Spe
cial.) Track Improvements on the
O.-W. R. & N. are more necessary
than new depots, according to letters
received by members of the local ad
club who had written to J. P. O'Brien,
general manager of the railroad in
answer to arguments advanced by
members of the local club. . Because
of the press of funds track improve
ments are forcing the company to
keep such items as replacing depots
yet serviceable with more monu
mental structures out of the 1921
budget.
The argument that a modern depot
would contribute to the prosperity of
the city was answered by Mr. O'Brien
with the statement that his company,
in payroll and voucher payments,
spent $2,044,816 In La Grande during
the year ended October 31. 1921.
Frank Bradley Indicted.
ASTORIA. Or., Dec. 9. (Special.)

B. THOMAS QUITS NATIONAL
EDUCATION JOB.
Reluctance of School Board to Au
thorize Pay For Trip East
Regarded as Reason.
George B. Thomas, member of the
school board, has tendered his resig
nation as chairman of the depart
ment of school administration of the
National Education association. The
announcement was made yesterday
in connection with a letter mailed to
an official of the organization.
Criticism for the expenditures paid
from school funds for Mr. Thomas'
trips ort previous years and reluc
tance of the board to authorize the
expenditures this year are regarded
as causes of the action, although no
statement was made in the letter
When the matter of voting money to
cover Mr. Thomas' trip to Boston and
to Chicago for the meetings came
before the school board Wednesday
night, the Boston trip was voted
down and the Chicago trip authorized,
with Director Shull dissenting. The
cost would be in the neighborhood
of $600 a trip, according to the state
ment, of Mr. Thomas before the board.
The letter addressed to William C
Bruce of he Bruce Publishing com
pany. Milwaukee, Wis., follows:
"Owing to circumstances over
which I have no control, I find It will
be Impossible to be at either the Chi
cago or Boston meet. I am hastening
to tender my resignation as chairman
of our department, so as our vice
president will have ample time to
arrange a good meet. I sincerely
hope you will be able to do so and it
is with considerable regret that 1
find I will be unable to be there."
