Council Votes' Down Appropri

ed by the Committee.
PLEA OF WOMEN IS VAIN
Delegation Speaks for Adoption of
Keport, but Decisive Majority Be
lieves Tliat the Expenditure
Is Unnecessary.
After a lonar discussion yesterday af
ternoon the Council voted down an ap
propriation of $6500, recommended by the
ways and means committee, for the es
tablishment of a public laboratory and
for the salaries of a bacteriologist, chem
ist and meat inspector. Those voting
against the appropriation were: Council
men Annand, Beldlng, Bennett, Cellars,
Concannon, Driscoll, Menefee. Wallace,
Wills. Those voting in favor were:
Councilmen Cottel, Dunning, Kellaher,
Rushlight, Vaughn.
i A large delegation of clubwomen was
present to back up the urgent requests
-of Oitv Hertlth OtHeer Pnhl nnrt Mni-kpt
Inspector Evans. Several of them ad
dressed the Council, all being heartily in
favor of the appropriation. Among those
who spoke were Mrs. Abigail Scott Duni
way, Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, Dr. Mary A.
. Thompson, Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden and Dr.
Vtnlnrio T IT..mnn.
Kxpendilnre Mere Pittance.
Mrs. Duniway declared that the haDDi-
ness- of man depends largely upon well-
cooked, clean food. She said that the
proposed appropriation of $6500 for the
AF u Kl'ol. a n 1,. t 1 1.1....
toward the improvement of the public
health, was a mere pittance, and, for
one. that she was willing to bear the
extra taxation to provide for it.
Mrs. Evans declared that her labors
had been unsuccessful, many times, be-
cause she had no place to go for chemi
cal analysis. She declared that State
Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey
was unable to handle the city cases for
lack of time and proper equipment.
Dr. Mary Thompson paid that the ap
propriation should be voted, arid that all
women were willing to pay extra taxes,
if necessary; that all good men were
also willing, and that "all others should
not be considered."
Mrs. Hidden related that she pur
chased some fresh oysters from a promi
nent downtown store the day before
. Christmas, and that she and her hus
. band were made violently ill by eating
; them: that she tried to get an anaylsis of
the oysters to ascertain the trouble, and
. that she finally appealed to Commis
; sloner Bailey, but had received no report.
She thought it sufticient proof that he
' wa? too busy to attend to city cases, and
therefore regarded it as one strong point
In favor of a city laboratory.
Ir. Hampton Makes Offer.
Dr. Hampton renewed her offer, made
' before the ways and means committee,
to perform the services of chemist for
the city, furnishing her private labora
tory, for $1800 a year. She thought that
at the end of that time the Council might
see lit to appropriate a sum for the city
laboratory.
Councilmen Cottel, Rushlight, Kellaher
and Vaughn spoke in favor of the ap
propriation, while Councilmen Bennett,
Wills. Belding and others- 6poke, against
it. Mr. Vaughn, replying to a state

Turns Tourist Travel Toward Pacific Northwest
Opening of Palatial Empress Hotel at Victoria Marks Epoch in History of This Section of the Continent.
A RED-LETTER day in the history of
Victoria, B. C. was the opening of
the new Empress Hotel at that
place Dy the Canadian Pacific Railway,
last Monday. The importance of such a
splendid hostelry for the convenienceof
tourists long has been recognized by Vic
torians, and while that beautiful little
city long has been a Mecca for travelers,
the new hotel will add largely to the
jiopularlty of Victoria with tourists from
all parts of the world.
The completion of this splendid hotel
is not. however and this was brought
out at the speeches made at the formal
opening a triumph solely for Victoria i
and British Columbia. It means more I
than that. It is as milch a matter for
i-ongratulutioti for the Pacific Northwest,
for the attraction of tourists to Victoria
and British Columbia means that this
travel through Portland will be greatly
increased.
The enterprise of the Canadian Pacific
in erecting such a splendid hotel, one of
the best on the continent, in a city of not
over 50.000 inhabitants, is recognized and
appreciated. The deterpilnation of the
company to provide suitable accommoda
tions for Its guests was the motive in
erecting the hotel, regardless of whether
the venture proved a money-making prop
osition or not.
This move Is typical of the Canadian
Pacific, a company which has the con
; fidenre to a remarkable degree of the
: traveling public. This company takes the
traveler at Liverpool, England, and car
ries him on its own steamers and rail
ways to Hongkong, China, more than
half way around the world, without' the
necessity for changing to any other line.
At the same time the tourist is housed
In the Canadian Pacific's own hotels at
' all stopping plares.
Hundreds of visitors from all over the
Pacific and Canadian Northwest enjoyed
; 'the hospitality of the Canadian Pacific
at the hotel opening. All these guests
"will long remember the company's offi
cials for their courtesy and considera
tion on this occasion. Newspaper and
railroad men speak in the highest terms
of the hospitality of the Canadian Pacific.
, That the event wa a notable one for the
American Northwest as well as for Brit
ish Columbia was the general sentiment
j expressed.
The new Empress Hotel is a sister to
- the historic Chateau Frontenac at Que
i bee. The cast of construction was $1,100.-
Or'. The foundation alone cost $100,000.
The site fs a beautiful one commanding
a splendid view of the harbor of Victoria.
; Perhaps Its most striking feature to the
. visitor Is the ground- floor, on which the
office, rotunda, palm room and main din
J Ing-room are located, with the immense
kitchen in the rear. Entering the porte
oochere at the south end of the building.
th Visitor finds himself in a musniticeut
present all had made the laboratory a
hobby, delivered a heated speech, declar
ing among other things that it was of no
avail to argue the matter, as the affair
was "all framed up."
"There is no use, arguing for this ap
propriation," declared Mr. Vaughn, "for
It is all framed up right now among cer
tain members of this Council. They have
argued retrenchment for the sake of the
taxpayers, but I tell you that the real
purpose is being disguised: I'm not dis
posed to say what the real purpose of
this is, but will say that it is not to
save the taxpayers' money."
. At this point Mr. Annand arose to
call Mr. Vaughn's attention to the fact
that the latter had talked eight minutes
already, whereas the Council rule allows
but four minutes on one subject.
Gag Kale for Vauglin.
"I will state," said Mr. Vaughn, ad
dressing the large number of clubwomen,
"that this Council maintains a gag rule
for the purpose of gagging certain mem
bers not desirable to the others. I there
fore have to quit without finishing my
remarks, because they have applied the
gag."
"There are only two members who ever
give cause to have the rule applied,"
heatedly replied Mr. Annand. "We get
mighty tired of it, -when we might Just
as well get d.own to business."
' "Yes. I don't wonder at ail that those
who have already decided upon their
vote, . and we know before starting out
how they will vote, should be tired of
hearing others talk," replied Mr. Vaughn.
After voting down the proposed appro
priation the Council proceeded to pass
on other items- of the budget, and but
very little change was made. The rec
ommendation for an appropriation of
$60,000 for the purpose of building a crem
atory on the present site on Guild's Lake
was also voted down, as the Council has
another committee at work endeavoring
to secure a site further down town for
the crematory.
The Council also voted to discontinue
proceedings regarding the establishment
of engine company No. 2, which was to
have been located at Third and Gllsan
streets at a cost of $21,000. because the
title to the property is cloudy. Another
site will be secured In that vicinity, it la
proposed, and the matter revived.
Although the Council pleaded "hard
times" in voting down the proposed lab
oratory, the members' were generous
enough to increase the pay of six civil
engineers from $140 a month to $150. City
Physician Zelgler also received , an in
crease in pay from $100 to $125 a month
The Park Board recommended that the
Council appropriate $3000 as salary for "a
high-class man," as Mayor Lane put it,
should the Board require the services
of such an individual during the year.
It was not allowed, the appropriation
being cut to give Superintendent Mon
telth $125 a month.

ports of the splendid advertisement Port
land received at hte gathering. Portland.
had by far the largest individual rep
resentation at the convention, and the
members of the delegation "put in a
plug" for Portland at every turn and se
cured column after column of good ad
vertising, not only in Oakland, but in
San Francisco. Sacramento and even in
the Los Angeles papers. Discussing the
meeting, C. N. Black, who was a dele
gate of the Associated Advertising Men's
Clubs of America, said last night:
"It was the best convention the organ
ization ever had. and with the enthusi
astic and fine representation that Port
land sent to Oakland we had things
about our own way. We not only se
cured the next convention for Portland
to be held here during the Rose Festi
val, but also got columns of advertis
ing for the big celebration. Bury I. Da
sent, of this city, was elected secretary
of the association, following a speech
which brought the convention to its feet
and made Portland the unanimous choice
for the next meeting-place.
"Portland exploitation literature was
scattered broadcast and was? placed
where it will do a great deal of good."

Two -massive oak staircases are -features
of the lower floor of the hotel. The

carved oak mantel, 'i.ie ceiling is In
elaborately moulded relief. Round the
walls runs a broad frieze of cupids. The
curtains are pink and the carpet gray,

The rotunda is Immense, extending fully
half the entire length of the hotel. The

PLUM TREE WELL-LADEN
Few Members of L.ast Legislature
Not Out for Re-election County
Offices Also in Demand State
ment Xo. 1 Has No Friends.
With the appearance of the pussy
willows, comes the budding of the
Oregon candidates, and before another
month rolls around a small army of
office-seekers will be In the field,
armed cap-a-ple for the primary con
test. The plum tree this year is well
laden with fruit, and the scramble in
the primaries promises to be most ex
citing. Already those- who believe in
taking time by the forelock, have an
nounced their candidacy and only one,
so far, has announced himself in favor
of Statement No. 1.
Scratch any one of the prospective Re
publican candidates, these days, and you
will -find a man in most cases who is
against Statement No. 1. Some frankly
say they will not support the statement,
while others are as shy about com
mitting themselves as Wordsworth's
little maiden. H. M. Cake. Republi
can candidate for United States Sena
tor, is the only candidate, up to tne pres
ent time, who has announced his candi
dacy with a good word for Statement No.
1. Senator Fulton, who is working for re
election, declares that he has not asked
anyone to subscribe to the statement,
and will not. So it will be necessary
for Senator Bourne's pet to be adopted j
by the Democrats. From all indica- f
tions it will be carefully nursed by
the Democratic wheelhorses.
A few days of bright sunshine have
served to set the proverbial bee to
buzzing merrily, and within the next
10 days many prospective candidates
will come out into the open. One more
name has been added to the list of
Republicans who will run for the of
fice of County Clerk. F. S. Fields, the
present incumbent, likes the place and
will have as his opponents in a cam
paign for recognition Sam Lotan and
Colonel Charles McDonell. Colonel Mc
Donell's name has been frequently men
tioned, but it was only last week that
Lotan's friends launched his-boom.
Lotan ran against A. L. Barbur for
City Auditor and was beaten in the
primaries last Spring.
McMillan for Shrievalty.
During the past two weeks tremend
ous pressure has been brought to bear
on George McMillan to induce him to
contest with Sheriff Stevens for the
Republican nomination for Sheriff, but
it is not likely that McMillan will
make a definite announcement until he
has consulted with men with whom he
has been associated with for years in
business. There is also talk of N. H.
Bird being a candidate for Sheriff, but
gossip distributors have it that Bird
likes a sure thing, and will be satisfied
if he can make certain of a deputy
ship. Tom Word, of course, will be the
Democratic candidate.
Of candidates for the state Legisla
ture, there is a host. Most of the ex
State Senators and Representatives are
in line for re-election. Sig Sichel is
being talked of as a candidate for re
election to the Senate, but has not yet
announced his candidacy. He has been
urged to run again and it Is more than
likely that he wiU do so. C. W. Hod
son also will be a candidate for an
other term in the Senate, and John

ends of the large halls are ' fitted up as

conveniences.
The hotel kitchen is supplied with a
range 27 feet long, as well as two char
coal broilers and one gas broiler. There
are also two 50-gallon soup kettles. There
are dozens of appliances, many of them
a little ahead of those of other first-class
hotel kitchens. Perhaps the most inter
esting 4s the automatic egg-boiler, which
has a clock attachment. When the egg

Drlscoll, who has served two terms in
the lower house, will be a candidate
for the upper this year. Dr. Andrew
C. Smith is being . talked of by his
friends for the Senate, and so are Dr.
Emmet Drake and C. W. Nottingham.
Another prospective candidate for
the Senate much talked of is C. N.
("Pat") McArthur. McArthur, who is
one of the best known of the younger
members of the bar. ran In the pri
maries two years ago for Representa
tive, but was defeated solely because
the alphabetical arrangements of
names on the ballot placed him at a
disadvantage.
Whether John B. Coffey will be a
candidate for the Senate depends upon
Dr. Smith's decision. Coffey is not
overly anxious to become a candidate
for the Senate, but should Dr. Smith
refuse to run, he will enter the race.
There is talk among Coffey's friends
that in case Dr. Smith does run. Cof
fey will be a candidate for the House.
May Defeat Freeman Again.
Frank F. Freeman would like to be a
candidate for the upper house, but the
wise politicians say that because he
defended the perpetual franchise of
the- Portland gas monopoly a year
ago in the Legislature, and be
cause he was secretary of the Pa
cific Northwestern Furniture Trust and
was indicted with the rest of the trust
members, although the indictment
against him was dismissed, and also
because of his friendship for the
school-land ring, he will not have
smooth sailing in the primaries. W.
H. Chapin is said to be willing toYun
again, but as in Freeman's case, his
opponents are likely to explode a
bomb under him should he announce
his candidacy. J. W. Beveridge will
seek re-election to the lower house,
and there are also Andrew A. Ander
son and D. B. Mackie, who ran two
years ago and was defeated.
Gu C. Moser, if rumor has it cor
rectly, will not have only Waldemar
Seton as a rival for the office of Dis
trict Attorney. Among politicians it
is said that Municipal Judge George J.
Cameron will enter the race; also
Frank S. Bennett. Judge Cameron has
not announced himself, but his friends
are extremely busy feeling the pulse
of the voters down town.
Moser says he Is not done with the
committeemen from the Eighth ward,
and will carry the battle Into the
meeting of the city and county cen
tral committees, scheduled for Tues
day night in Seiling-Hirsch hall. Mo
ser's friends are determined that the
committee's action shall be rescinded,
asserting that the Eighth ward com
mittee does, not by any means rep
resent all the Republicans in the ward.
Will Observe McKinley's Birthday.
At the regular monthly smoker of the
Union Republican Club, which will be
held at Selllng-Hirsch hall next Wednes
day night, the birthday of William
McKinley will be observed. Judge M. C.
George will deliver an address on the life
of McKinley. There will be a number of
other prominent speakers and a musical
programme. Those who will have charge
of -the smoker are: John Gill, president
of the club; F. B. Beach, Dr. Emmett

Manager Ryan Takes
Sweet Revenge
DrbODiinlr Prealdlnfp Genius of

l.ltitterbread Mem to DeviP Auc
tion'' Do d key.
CHARLES RYAN, the handsome young
manager of the Marquam Theater,
was filled with envy last week, when he
saw the big hit one of his competitors
had made by a free distribution of gin
gerbread men to a hungry public of ten
der years. After a cogitation that re
sulted in the loss of two or three more
hairs from a pate that has few to spare,
Ryan suddenly leaped to bis feet, as
sumed a tragic pose and ejaculated:
I'll have me reverge!"
He slipped back Into the dressing-
rooms of the theater. When he emerged
he was "made up" to represent a cufte
little boy of 10. Calling his faithful
friend "Tpby," the pet donkey that has
been doing a turn in "The Devil's Auc
tion." Ryan went to one of the places of
distribution and innocently asked if he
could have a few gingerbread men for
his little friend who was outside but too
bashful to come into the store.
The kindhearted man inside gave "the
pretty little boy" an armful of WilliamM
Pangles cakes, which the aforesaid little
boy carried outside and fed one by one to
Toby, but that patient little animal had
a greater capacity for gingerbread men
than Ryan had counted on. The Mar
quam man did some more thamklvg.
leading to the conclusion that Toby must
ge given all the gingerbread men he
wanted. The two "then - took a round
about course to a certain bakery, where
the cakes were stacked up awaiting fur
ther demands from the Heijig manager.
Ryan put on his sweetest smile and told
the bakery man that Mr. Pangle had
sent him for 600 gingerbread men.
These secured, Toby began having the
time of his life, getting away with the
supply. Late last night Ryan was busy
telephoning all over town for doctors to
relieve poor Toby of an aggravated at
tack of indigestion. -'
MR. NELSON TOO PLAYFUL
Courts Cannot Appreciate Thefts
Committed in Spirit of Fun.
Oscar Nelson's playful nature Is blast
ing his career and appears- to have al
ready spoiled any cBances of success he
may ever have had. In Astoria, three
years age, he broke, into a boathouse and
stole some nets for which he had not the
slightest use. He explained I was done
just for fun, but the court which tried
him tucked him away in the penitentiary
for two years. Nelson got out nearly a
year ago. and had confined himself to
lawful pranks up to Friday night, wher
he saw a can of milk In front of a Jap
anese restaurant- at First and Ankeny
streets. He thought it would be a gootl.
joke to carry it away, a thing which he
proceeded to do. He was arrested later
while hiding the can in an alleyway.
Police Judge Cameron took the act
seriously, though Nelson explained yes
terday forenoon that he had not intended
doing anything wrong. However, the
court couldn't view the matter in the
same light, and Nelson will have to serve
six months in the County Jail for lar
ceny.
"When you get out possibly you will
have a proper respect for things that
don't belong to you. no matter how small
their value," said the court.

SEEK- TO KILL SUIT
Bankers Make Fight on New
Technicalities.
FIVE POINTS ARE CITED
Ross, Aitchlson and Burkhard, of
Derunct Bank, Fight Indictments
by Demurrer In the State
. Circuit Court.
Having failed to overcome the neces
sity of -pleading to the charges of theft
and dishonesty In connection with the
insolvency of the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company, J. Thorburn Ross.
John E. Atchison and T. T. Burkhart
attacked the four Informations against
them for the second time, in the State
Circuit court yesterday.
In their first action, before date of
arraignment, they asked for dismissal
of the four indictments or Informations
on the grounds that the tapers were
improperly drawn up and that evidence
had -been taken during the banking
holiday period. That phase of the case
was argued -lately and the accused
bankers lost. Their new attack is
likewise based on small technicalities
and does not refer to the truth or
falsity of the charges against them
George H. Hill . does not appear, it
having been agreed that he shall abid.e
by the fate of the other three in their
fight to overthrow the informations.
The new attack on the indictments Is
in the form of demurrers. Five reasons
for dismissal are cited. All of these
are of a technical nature. The first al
leges that the District Attorney had
no authority to Inquire into the alleged
crime "because same is not alleged to
have been committed within Multno
mah County" or to be tryable therein."
The secondreason for dismissal is
given as failure of the informations to
conform t'o requirements of the code In
that they do not set forth particular
circumstances of the crimes and de
fendants are not given notice of the na
ture of the charges preferred against
them. The third clause Rays: "In case
the information Is otherwise sufficient,
it charges defendant with the commis
sion of more than one crime."
The demurrer than maintains that
the informations do not set forth facts
sufficient to constitute a crime and
that In no information does it appear
the crime alleged took place within
three years prior to the date of filing.
EIGHT PLEAD IX FELONY SUITS

Plans to billboard 77 leading cities
and towns of the Pacific Northwest
with 16-sheet posters advertising: the
Portland Rose Festival, the two weeks
prior to its opening- June 1, were out
lined at a meeting; of the publicity
committee yesterday afternoon. The
posters are to be 14x9 feet in size.
The towns which will be included in
the list embrace Oregon (outside of
Portland). Washington, Idaho and
British Columbia. In conjunction with
this advertising campaign, it was
voted to distribute several thousand
one-sheet posters through the travel
ing salesmen of the city and through
Postmasters and all local station
agents on the various steam and trol
ley lines of this section of country.
All the posters will contain a pro
gramme of the week's festivities.
Contracts were awarded for print
ing a quarter of a million Inserts for
mailing to be distributed among local
business houses, and for 100.000 sou
venir postcards. These, too, will con
tain a list of the chief events of the
festival. -
A number of artistic designs for the
10.000 personal invitations to the fes
tival, which are to be sent out to
Federal, state and city officials, prom
inent people throughout the country,
and editors of the leading newspapers
of the United States, were submitted
and discussed, and others are promised
for. next week's meeting, at which
time the best design will be accepted.
Besides these invitations, the editors
of the prominent dallies of the coun
try will be requested to send staff rep
resentatives to the festival, to be
guests of the city for the week, this
hospitality also being extended to
those Included in the general invita
tion. Inducements will be offered the rival
charioteers who cqmpete each year in
the Midwinter tournament of roses
held at Pasadena, CaL. on New Tears,
to participate in a similar contest in
Portland, some afternoon during the
festival week. Because of the intense
rivalry between these famous hippo
drome racers, it Is expected that they
can be secured as an additional draw
ing card withoutmaterial expense to
the festival association.

vassing committe'e was received and
showed that each of the leading ho

Discuss Annexation.
At the discussion of annexation to
Portland held in Woodstock Hall Friday
night both sides of the question were pre
sented by the respective champions. At
the conclusion of the debate a vote was
taken. 14 being against annexation and
11 for it. The attendance of Woodstock
people was small as compared with that
from Creston. Arleta and Woodmere. l.
J. Kelly, president of the Woodstock
Push Club, expresses the opinion that
there is strong opposition to .annexation
in Woodstock. However, hd does think
that the vote taken at the meeting very
conclusive, owing to the presence of so
many from the outside. Other meetings
will be held at Laurelwood and Wood
mere. .
