Rutherford (ne Neva J. Whitney) died In Port land on Wednesday night. Mrs. Rutherford bad been employed with her husband in the city schools of Tillamook for th past two years, and had been taking soma special work in this city during the Summer. She had taken her degree at the Oregon State Normal at Monmouth and was to have been employed for the coming year In the city achools of Eugene. Mrs. Rutherford had been identified for some years with the work in the city and graded schools of the state and had a large circle of acquaintances. She was sick but a few hours, her death resulting from a com plication of ills. , issued by District Attorney Cameron and Chief Gritzmacher has been In structed to carry ont the order ot the District Attorney. Since the Sunday lid was put down on Portland, billiard halls have been permitted to run. And their business ha Increased ao marrelously that many new places have started. Men and boy who could not find more profitable, and pleasing entertainment have spent the greater part of th day playing billiards and pool and the Sun day lid ha consequently been a great financial aid to these halls. District Attorney Cameron, howerer, ha decided to close them on Sunday and has Instructed Chief Gritzmacher to give them one week's notice. The notice will be served today and all such places will be closed next Sunday. In a letter addressed to the Chief yesterday, Mr. Cameron explains that he has received many complaint against billiard halls and similar place remaining open on Sunday and in structs the Chief to order them closed. The section to which the District Attorney referred In his letter include th Sunday-closing of "any store, ihop, grocery, ball alley, billiard room, or tippling house," but excepts dry goods stores, doctor shops, undertaker shops, livery stables, butchers and bakers.

Deliberately planning self-destruction and writing a number of letter, one to the Coroner of thi city, William H. Hughes, a canvasser, shot himself through the head and died early yesterday mora ln the Arcade House, M6tt First street. Hughes is said to have been suffering from melancholia. While employed at a logging camp several month ago he suf fered a fracture of the skull as the result of an accidental blow, and he had since been temporarily deranged. The body wa found by Mr. Striblay, manager of the hotel. She went to the room for th purpose of cleaning H, but receiving no response to her knocks, opened the door with a pass key. On the bed lay th dead man with a revolver in his hand. Three letters, evidently written short ly before the shooting, were found in the room. On was addressed to the Coroner, another to Mrs. F. E. Hughe. 708 Union street. San Francisco, and the third to J. R. Cauthorn, 246V4 Morrison street. Mr. Cauthorn wa his employer. In the letter to Coroner Norden it wa stated that it would be useless to ascertain the name or location of the dead man's relatives and it also expressed his Indifference as to what disposition was made of his body. Hughes was apparently 40 year of age. An inquest will not be held. THE NORTONIA MENU. First Musical Programme of the Season. Celery Olive Merry Widow Cocktail Cream of Tomatoes.

Convention Will Take City Officials to Task for Not Enforcing ths Laws. BT ADA WaLUlCS UTntUH. IT IS expected that there will be some strong resolutions passed at the coming tat convention of th W. C. T. U Oc tober I to t, upon both th social evil and th teaching of positive purity, the reform and formatory extremities of the question of personal purity which has found in the W. C T. U. Its most effective advocate. This question is a live one and will be as long as the social evil flaunt itself In th faces of good women. The agitation of this matter In th lawmaking body of our city Just at present has brought it to th immediate attention of some of the workers ' who are always alive to the question of public import That there could be any difference of opinion In re gard to the advisability of strenuous clos ing of the bawdy-houses of our city would seem hardly possible to one who had not followed the various meandertngs of th average mind In the handling of moral questions. The objections that are made and the doubt that are raised in the discussion of thi question by good and usually logical people would be ab surd, if they were not so pathetic when one realizes that it Is this very lack of a unanimity which presents th greatest obstacle to the necessary support that city officials must have, no matter how brave they may be, if they are to make a suc cessful outcome In the closing of th most dangerous evil and traffic in the city. What we aeed now Is a mora strenuous moral conscience. If a thine; Is right, why then do it, without regard to con sequences. This must apply not only to individual action, but to civic as well. It is true that in a matter of such import as the closing of the North End our offi cials would do well to build up every pos sible bulwark ot defense to warrant the largest possible support when the storm comes, as it will doubtless do if so be w are fortunate enough to have an earnest attempt made for th much-needed en forcement of law. I am persuaded that it is not enough that the city officials are ready to abide by their oaths of office, but every man and woman should be ready to take such stand as would give to this action on the part ot officials th utmost support. It is cowardly to say, as some are say ing. "It ought to be done, but it. will be a failure." The good people of Portland, rallying together, can make Portland a clean city. When we do so rally the offi cials must listen to the appeal. That the presence of this pitiful traffic in the North End is the price of safety for good women is an argument which will not pass mus ter with logical people. Any man or woman who has made an even cursory tudy of this problem will say at once that, on the contrary, the North End and its pitiful women are a menace to the safety of every purs woman and child in the city. It not only endangers the women of today, but the children yet to be born, whose father are frequenters of these dens. If there were no other argu ment in favor of closing the bawdy-houses of Portland, this last should be enough. Gentlemen, Is It a chivalry worth calling such that you possess, when with the power in your hands to close up these dens and to make Portland clean you are neglecting any action which will give us this result? The Central W. C. T. U. at a recent meeting passed a strong reso lution In favor of closing, but women are helpless In the choosing of men who make and execute our laws and must depend upon men for the results. The Oregon State W. C. T. U. will pass strong reso lutions and will take such action as will make It most felt, but again it Is but a body of women. We have, however. In the past forced action by our persistency, and w will in this matter if Inaction on the part of good men makes It needful.
