Members of the Seventh-Street Im provement Association, representing millions of dollars in property and Im provements, are almost a unit in their opposition to the Heusner franchise for the operation of an interurban carllne on the street any farther south than the Intersection of Seventh at Flanders street. A petition against the proposed interurban line is now being circulated, and already bears the signatures of the majority of property owners on the street. A committee of five, representing the Seventh-Street Improvement Associa tion, has been authorized to conduct a campaign against the 'project. The members of this committee are: J. P. Finley. representing the Elks Lodge; H. L. Corbett. representing the Corbett estate; E. W. Coovert, representing S. Benson; T. Scott Brooke, representing the Brooke estate, and O. J. Kaufman. representing the Portland Hotel Com pany. "With First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth streets already occupied by carlines, and Sixth street, by common understanding, to be free from carlines, an important proposition confronts the city, said J. C. Beck, secretary of the association, yesterday. "We all know the difficulty that the city car service has in handling the East Side traffic, .end the crowded condition of the streets already used. We note that some of the East Side Improvement clubs and prop erty owners are favoring this franchise. We will not take issue with them, ex cept that we feel that this franchise can be granted and the people as well served by turning off at Flanders street. Objection Benefits All, They Say.

That residents of Portland have been unusually free In opening their homes to the delegates to the National Woman's- Christian Temperance Union convention, which begins here Saturday, is the declarat Ion of Mrs. Mary Mallet, chairman "of the enter-v tainment committee. Mrs. Mallet says no trouble Is expected in furnishing good accommodations for the visitors.-- Plans for enter tainment are rapidly nearing com pletion under the direction of Mrs. Mallet.

January 6, "The fact, the whole northeast side, for the I Work of the Society In ' the Commu reason that, if, with the other streets I nlty," for committees on community used as they are, and if Seventh street I service. is used for other purposes, the next street available for use for the cars coming from the East Side is, at least, Eleventh street, for after Seventh street we have the two Park streets, which are both narrow, and on Tenth street there is an interurban line. It seems as though these conditions must be looked into, for this is not a matter of today or tomorrow, but for a long time to come. Some of the people on Seventh street have long been opposed to any car line, but we think that the most of them will favor a city car service under proper conditions. "Summing it all up. the Broadway bridge was built for the purpose of giving the people of that section easy access to the center of the city. It is, of course, a fact that most of them come over on streetcars. "Now, streetcars Is impeded or interfered with, the bridge will not serve Its pur pose. We think that to serve the greatest number of people., the frac tion company should be compelled to operate a car system over the Broad way bridge and up Seventh street under proper conditions and regulations so as to connect with other East Side lines running In all directions." Speaking for S. Benson, E. E. Coovert said: Benson's Position Given. "The position of Mr. Benson is this: During the past year he has invested h000,000 In clean, cold cash upon Seventh street. This Investment was made upon the theory that Seventh PUN COMMUTE HE1S WIDEXIXG BCRXSIDE STREET TO BE DISCUSSED. Membership of Association Reported as 4220 and Dinner Is Planned for Xext Month.

The second statement appears In your issues of October 9 and reads: "The Vice Commission, which con sidered the La Salle among other hotels and lodging' houses, said that It was being managed in a clean and orderly way and that it was one of the best conducted in Portland." Both of the statements appear un quoted and as the utterances of The Oregonian. Both are misstatements of fact, which we assume The Oregonian will gladly correct upon Information. In its report the Vice Commission does not Indicate the good or bad repu tation of any particular hotel, apart ment house or rooming house, nor does It indicate the identity of any place investigated. These statements as published con vey to the public mind the impression that the Vice Commission stands as sponsor for the good reputation of the La Salle Hotel.

When You See It In Our Ad, It's So If Moyer were content with selling just an ordinary amount of clothing, he'd have to charge you $20 for a Moyer $15 Suit that's what folks pay most places for equal quality. But Moyer 's ambition runs higher in fact, he has two ambitions, if you can use the word in that way one is to sell a better suit for $15 than anyone else; the other, to sell more of them than anyone else. Moyer $15 Suits are the result of this dual ambition the suits that have yet to be equaled anywhere at the price. -Suppose you look into Moyer $15.00 Suits suppose you get into one 1 FIVE STORES FIVE STORES First and Morrison Second and Morrison First and Yamhill the city local lines. He Is not opposed to the granting of the Heusner fran chise and welcomes the introduction into Portland of interurban lines, but he is opposed to the absorption of Seventh street, a purely retail and highly developed section for Portland city business, for an interurban line. 10 permit luterurnan cars to run upon this street would deprive Seventh street or its opportunity to secure loops from the cltv lines. "Portland from Seventh street down i.s becoming a congested center, and the future of Portland rests in its abil ity to handle city transportation upon Second, Third. Fifth and Seventh.

Property-owners will appear in body before th City Council this week and voie their protests agatnst the jtroposed interurban line. GAME VIOLATION CHARGED Arrests Made for Shooting Thcasants in Oregon. The first arrests for shooting pheas ants from automobiles occurred thia week at the instigation of State Game Warden Finley. One machine was traced to E L Loughlin, a real es tate dealer in the Yeon building, and It developed that his son. L. B. Lough lin, and a party of women had been out touring the valley. The charge of shooting pheasants was placed against L. B. Loughlin. Wirps brothers, who also informed on Clifford Reed for the same offense, caused the arrest of Loughlin. Reed was also seen shooting from an auto and will come up for trial next week. Alvin Schmale was hunting near Clackamas September 22. He killed a pheasant and was taken before Judge Kelso at Milwaukie, who fined him $25. INTEREST IS MANIFESTED Movement for Training in Religions Administration Takes Hold. Great Interest has developed in the movement for training In religious ad ministration that was inaugurated a few weeks ago through the suggestion of the religious work department of the Portland Young Men's Christian Asso ciation. Following a meeting of the presidents of the young people's so cieties throughout the city, a .pro gramme of weekly meetings has been worked out. The movement Is interdenominational be multlgraphed for the benefit of all committee members; that the commit tee members should individually and as separate committees study the plan and ascertain their function in developing it, and that systematic publicity for the benefit of the association's 4220 mem bers and the public at large should be obtained. i. It was also 'voted to recommend to the association that the office be kept open constantly and that an aggressive campaign should be carried on of edu cation and for the purp"ose of securing units of desired improvement. The annual meeting and election of officers is to be held the middle or No vember and it was suggested yester day that this should be made the oc casion of a publicity dinner and Great er Portland rally, so that every mem ber of the association might attend. This would necessitate the use of the Armory or any equally large building. as the association has the largest mem bershio of any Portland organization. The meeting yesterday was presided over by the secretary, Marshall X. Dana, and there were present, representing the membership committee, V. Vincent Jones, J. Fred Iarson, R. D. Carpen ter.

At the close of an address during the week by Father Gillies, the men formed the Holy Name Society, which has for Its aims the abolition of the use of the name of the Deity in ordl- nary conversation and the practical ex ercise of religion. Father Burke delivered last Thurs day a striking appeal to all those pres ent to become total abstainers, not so much, perhaps, for the good of them selves, as for the good of all those weaker ones who were unable to show due and proper moderation In the use of stimulants. There will be a special renewal of the baptismal promises at the services today, and the Fathers will leave for San Francisco tomorrow, where they will carry out a similar mission, start ing next Sunday.
