ONE-WAY TRAFFIC
IS HELD DI NEED
Danger of Business Going to
East Side Cited.
CAR ROUTING IS RAPPED
JUr. liHiirsaard Says Plan Is Xo
Ji.xprrlment, as It Has Suc
i ceeded Elsewhere.
"Portland will not be experiment
ing If it derides to adopt one-way
traffic, for tins mode of directing
the difficulties of downtown trans
portation is already in use in Chi
cago in the loop district, in New
York in the Manhattan area and in
Cleveland and many other cities,"
declared O. .Laursaard, city engi
neer, in an address advocating the
immediate adoption of the one-way
solution before the members of the
I'rogressive Business Men's club yes
terday at their luncheon meeting.
A recent trip through the east to
Inspect traffic conditions in a score
of cities convinced Mr. Laurgaard
that the one-way system must be
adopted if Portland is to solve its
traffic problem. The proposal to re
model the entire water front of the
city on the west side also was fa
vored by the city's engineer.
Million Population Foreseen.
"Based on conservative estimates
by engineers who have made a
statistical study of conditions here,
the population of Portland will be
1,000,000 by 1937," he continued,
"and we must find a solution at
once if the traffic is to continue
through the narrow streets- in the
west side retail district."
"The car line routing here is
abominable," he said.' "The inter
urban cars cross the busiest streets
of the city, and, not content with
that, they loop back across those
same busy streets." Mr. Laurgaard
pointed, out that the market on
Yamhill street has destroyed a nat
ural approach to the Morrison street
bridge which would obviously re
lieve congestion on that bridge. lie
advocated removal of the market.
Warnins of CIianKe Given.
That Portland is peculiarly
troubled owing to its distribution of
population was another contention
of the engineer. He explained that
three-fourths of the population of
the city resides on the east side of
the river and goes to the west side
to do business.
"I am not an alarmist," he con
cluded, "but our big business of the
west side is going to be on the east
side of the river within a few years
if the conditions in the congested
districts are not improved at once."
TRIPLETS ONE YEAR OLD
Birthday Party to Celebrate Big
Event in Ewer Family.
A birthday party of peculiar sig
nificance, in that it is. the first natal
anniversary of the three daughters

Elizabeth and Laura, and in honor
of the birthday a party to which
many of their friends have been
asked to come will be held by the
proud parents.
The weight of the infants at birth
aggregated 13 pounds, as follows:
Florence, 5 pounds; Laura, 4
pounds, and Elizabeth, 4 pounds. To

three. Their respective weights last
night were: Laura and Florence,
each 21 pounds, and Elizabeth, 19
pounds. At the time of the birth
of the triplets Mr. and Mrs. Ewer

ployed in the accounting depart
ment of the local Southern Pacific

and Expects to Complete Its
Job by December I.
Members of the tax supervising
and conservation commission went
into executive session yesterday on

chairman of the commission, "but
no official work will begin until De

executive sessions until December 1

tures of the budget without being

account of all deliberations of that
body in the public press.
By the action taken yesterday, the
commission will remain . in secret
session until December 1, when, no
doubt, .all decisions will have been
agreed upon, and any failure of the
members to agree oh any subject
will be known to only the members
of the commission.

Quartzville district since October 1
as a member of the Toad survey
crew.

HONOLULU, T. H., Nov. 14. (By
Mail.) The alien school regulation,
the signing of which by the gov

can devote school hours to study of
.7 :i panese subjects.

UE MIS ENDED
HEIRS GET 1 5 DAYS FOR FIL
ING OF BRIEFS.
Action to Recover $500,000 From
Scientist Churches Is Battle
Over Technical Points.
Trial of the suit of heirs of the
late E. Henry Wemme against the
six Churches of Christ, Scientist, of
Portland was concluded at noon yes
terday. Circuit Judge Belt, before
whom the evidence and arguments
were presented, gave 15 days for the
filing of briefs and 20 days there
after for the reply of the defend
ants. This suit of the heirs to recover
approximately $500,000 on the
ground the churches had committed
a breach of trust in carrying out
provisions of Mr. Wemme's will re
solved itself into a battle over tech
nical points of law. The case of the
heirs was measurably strengthened
by the act of the state in interven
ing with the argument that the
churchmen had violated -, a public
trust. This argument was made
Wednesday on behalf of the attorney-general
by W. P. LaRoche. It
created a mild sensation, as most
of those interested in thetrial had
supposed the state's representative
would do little more than listen to
proceedings. ' .
The stand taken by the state does
not materially aid the heirs in" their
plea that they be given the money

the court decides that thj Scientists
have forfeited all rights to admin
ister the fund. The state's argu
ment was that the fund should be
turned back to the original trustees
under the will. As to what then
should be done with it would pos
sibly involve a second legal battle.
Judge Belt indicated the outstand
ing legal point at issue in address
ing the attorneys at the close of the
trial. He asked that in preparing
their briefs' they pay particular at
tention to the question as to whether
Wemme, "having created a public
charitable corporation, was privi
leged In later portions of the will
to modify provisions relating to the
corporation."
Wemme's will created the endow
ment fund as a charitable corpora
tion and stipulated as his wish that
the Scientist churches, controlling
the corporation, should operate the
White Shield home forever. Subse
quent portions of the will modified
these directions so as to give the
churchmen much greater latitude
and discretion in the matter. Ac
cording to the spirit of these modi
fications the churchmen sold the
refuge home and arranged to estab
lish a sanitarium and corrective
home more to their own liking..
