LIQUOR IN HOME IMMUNE Chairman Wheeler Declares Saloon Is Main Object of Attack and That Campaign Pledges Stand. JProlii Conference Planned. The legal sub-committee, of the Committee of One Hundred, has had several meeting In its work of pre paring a measure that will carry out the "spirit and the letter of the Pro hibition amendment to the constitu tion," as the committee describes it, and it is hoped to be able to present this measure to members of both Houses at an early date. The sub committee has organized and has di vided the work in an effort to expe dite it. "In answer t. many' Inquiries," said J. E. Wheeler, chairman of the Com mittee of One Hundred, yesterday. "I cannot emphasize any too strongly that there will not be the slightest ef fort in the measure to prohibit the use of alcohol in the home, nor to put un reasonable obstacles In the way of ob taining it. Saloon Attacked Mainly. "We made this bo plain during: the campaign that I am sory there should be any doubt regarding: this. May I say that should members of the Legis lature or any organization endeavor to obtain the passage of such legislation - I shall oppose it vigorously. "Of course, there are members of the committee who believe drinking Is wrong: there are others who believe that drinking, of itself, is not wrong. But we are united In the belief that we must keep faith with the people. "The proposed law will be drastic along one line only. We do not intend to tolerate the saloon, whether in the form of a drugstore, 'blind pig or liquor club,' so-called, and consider able legislation will be necessary to accomplish this end. Along this line we have received great encouragement from the recently-published letter by W. F. Woodward, of Woodward, Clarke & Company. Outside Purchases I..ea;al. "The amendment prohibits the sale if liquor in Oregon. Citizens, who desire to obtain liquor for their own personal use at their homes, will be able to do so by purchasing It outside Oregon. This may or may not be right, but it was the pledge we made and the pledge we shall keep. "As soon as our legal sub-committee reports I shall be able to discuss the proposed measure fully. "In these respects, the Kansas statutes and those of other states will be modified to suit Orefon conditions and the promises made by the Com mittee of One Hundred. In the mean time, we intend to send later to mem bers of the legislature a copy of various other states' statutes for their consideration and suggestion." General Conference Planned. The Committee of One Hundred initiated the dry amendment and has been generally recognized as the leader of the dry forces. However, before making its bill public it Intends to hold consultations with the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League, W. C. T. U. other temperance organizations and Attorney-General-elect Brown and a number of leading members of the Oregon bar. It was not the Intention of the Com mittee of One Hundred originally to draw a measure, but at the express request of 18 members of both houses it decided to do so. Later the other dry organizations Joined in asking the committee to perform this duty. If these organizations do not approve the proposed measure when prepared, the committee will make that disapproval public, it announced.

The spirit of friendliness and hos pitality, that was so genuine, made many a gtrl forget, for a time, her absence from her own family fireside. There were original songs, yells, calls and toasts and the proverbial sewing bee hum was much in evidence. Miss Holbrook, president of the associa tion, mothered the 90 girls and Miss James the general secretary was big sister to them all. After dinner, there was a Jolly good time in the big living-room where all joined ln the singing of old-time songs. The time, the place and the girls. each served to make this occasion one or .Portlands most happy and success ful Thanksgiving gatherings. PASTOR HELPS ON WARSHIP Ew. P. AV.

Novel stunts tor the aid of charity this "Winter will have to "gro some" If there Is the possibility of putting forth a more Interesting show than that by which the Progressive Business Men's Club of this city entertained more than S00 of their friends in their "Punkln Festival" last Tuesday night at the Multnomah Hotel. Though the club's expenses ran close to the $200 mark, the proceeds totaled $350. leaving- for the club's Christmas dinners for the poor of the city about $150. One of the club's largest expen ditures was for the two dozen turkeys which were given away at Eugene Brooklng's "turkey farm." or "public market." as he chose to Btyle It. That the show will long be remem bered In Portland clubdom may be sur mised from the fact that prizes, do nated by club members, riven away to lucky numbers at the close of the fes tivities, were valued in coin of the realm close to $1000. The latest talk ing machines, $25 cedar chests, tons of briquets, dentistry, medals, etcetera, were only a few of the numerous prizes for which practically all of the "stag ers" stayed late to procure If they held the lucky numbers. Besides the boxing matches, which were a big card of the evening, such sideshows as the "mummy," pickaninny and Sol Baum's performance, all his own, were among the moneymakers. The roulette wheel and other gaming isDies were mucn in ravor all evening. The show was pronounced one of the "best ever" by all who were fortunate enough to attend. Commissioner C. A.

(I3.B5 Irish and 10.806 Scotch. Reload of Rental in Advance of Decem ber 1 I First Step Two Sub stations Are Abolished. Property owners will be responsible for the water bills of their tenants be ginning Tuesday. At that time the new Daly water system, outlined In an ordinance adopted by the voters in the recent recall election, will be put into operation. If a tenant moves out with a water bill unpaid the owner of the property will have to foot the bill. Bills will be sent out at the end of three months for water used Instead of being sent out monthly in advance, as at present. As the first step in the new billing system the water bureau will refund to users such amounts as have been paid in advance for service after De cember 1. During November bills were sent out and payments made on the basis of one month. The water bureau will deduct the amount of the pay ment covering the water rental from the date the payment was due until December 1 and refund the rest. If a tenant moves out of a house, leaving a water bill unpaid, it will be up to the property owner to make pay ment at the end of the third month or the water will be shut off. The meas ure virtually makes the property owner a collecting agency. The new water rates, which means reductions for the majority of users, will take effect Tuesday also. The person who now pays a flat rate of 75 cents a month will pay 60 cents here after. Meter rates also are reduced. After January 1 the water bureau will abolish the plan of permitting payment of water bills In the two sub stations of the American Express Com pany. All payments will be required at the City Kali or at the subwater of fice at East Sixth and East Alder streets or the Albina station on Rus Bell street. with a banquet at 7 P. M.
