DEMAND OF LEAGUE
Speakers at Meeting Score
Failure to Close Two
Alleged Resorts.
HARM TO CITY IS CITED
Clackamas Prosecutor Is Principal
Talker Republican Candidate
Attends Opposition Meet
ing and Gives Views.
MIL."WAUKIE. Or.. Dec. 5. (Spe
cial.) District Attorney Hedges, of
Clackamas County, was the principal
speaker at the rally held here last
night by the Good Government League
In the interest of the "Citizens'
ticket" at the- municipal election next
Monday. More than 300 persona at
tended, J. TV. ' Grasle presided, and
outlined the situation In Milwaukie.
He set forth the causes that led to the
nomination of the Citizens' ticket,
which, he said, was In the interest of
public morality and good government.
Mr. Grasle, who Is- chairman of the
board of school directors for Milwau
kie. said that the districts of Concord
and Oak Grove had refused to send
their high school students to the Mil
waukie school while such resorts as
the Friars' Club and the Hotel Belle
were tolerated.- He said that it was
remarkable that the Council should
have renewed the license of the Hotel
Belle after its owner had been fined
for selling liquor to a minor and after
the District Judge bad cancelled the
license.
Situation Is Reviewed.
District Attorney Hedges reviewed
the situation in Milwaukie and ar
raigned the Friars' Club and Hotel
Belle in severe terms. Mr. Hedges said
that the statement of Herman Loeding
that the Council was unable to put
the Friars' Club out of business be
cause it held a state license was
without foundation, and he pointed out
that the Council could declare the
Friars Club a public nuisance and
put It out of business If it desired.
Mr. Hedges said that all the power
of his office would be used to see that
the election Monday would be fair and
legal. Any attempt at illegal voting,
he said, would be severely . punished.
He said that foreigners who had not
received -their first and second papers
could not vote, according to the result
of the recent election '
A message from Governor West was
read saying that the state law requir
ing foreigners to have their first and
second papers had passed and must be
complied with.
Suppression of Resorts Vra-ed.
B. G. Skulason. candidate for Coun
cilman from the Second Ward, gave a
review of the situation. He said that
it was not desired to stir up hard
feelings in the community, but that
public morality necessitated the move
ment taken for the Citizens' ticket
and the suppression of the resorts that
had violated the law.
G. C. Pelton, candidate for Mayor on
the Citizens' ticket, outlined his views,
as did all the candidates on that ticket.
Herman Leoding, candidate for Mayor
on the Republican ticket nominated at
the primary, attended and spoke
briefly.
G. A. Seavey, candidate for Council
man from the First Ward, a cartoonist,
drew pictures of the different candi
dates, but the most significant cartoon
was that of the present Council pre
senting to King Gratton with a license
for the Hotel Belle on a platter, after
it had been declared forfeited by Dis
trict Judge Campbell, of Clackamas
County. This picture was received with
great applause and laughter.
Republicans Also Present.
Sheriff Mass attended the meeting.
Friends of the Republican ticket also
attended.
The two tickets In the field are:
Citizens Mayor. G. C. Pelton; Coun
cllmen. First Ward, G. A. Seavey and
A. J. Walker; Councilmen, Second
Ward. W. H. Grasle and B. G. Skulason;
Councilman-at-Large, Mrs. Maggie A.
Johnson; Marshal, Sam Riley; Treas
urer. A. L. Bolstad ; Recorder, David P.
Mathews.
Republican Mayor, Herman Loeding;
Councilmen. First Ward. John Bond and
C. C. Perry; Second Ward. I Warren
and Leo Shtndler; Councilman-at-Large,
Charles H. Counsell; Marshal, A. L.
Iteed; Recorder, D. P. Mathews; Treas
urer, Dr. W. R. Taylor.
The polls will open Monday at S
A. M. and close at 7 P. M. There will
be two polling places one at the City
Hall and one at the new fire station
In the Second Ward.
The issue Is the Friars' Club and
' Hotel Belle, both of which have been
sources of contention and Irritation in
Milwaukie practically ever since the
place was Incorporated.
Both candidates for Mayor have
pledged themselves to enforce the law
and put these resorts out of business,
if necessary, in the enforcement.
LIFE THREATENED CHARGE
W. H. Brown Accused of Attempt to
Snoot Bis Wife.
Failure to throw a cartridge Into
the magazine of his rifle probably pre
vented W. H. Brown, 18 Revere street.
from shooting his wife yesterday, ac
cording to a complaint filed with Dep
uty City Attorney Stadter by R. I
Lundas. son-in-law of Mrs. Brown.
Lundas told the police that Brown
entered his house carrying a .25-.20
rifle, and. pointing the gun at his wife,
pulled the trigger. The magazine was
loaded, the police say, but Brown neg
lected to throw a cartridge into the
breech.

PROMPT RESPONSES MADE
Society Women Give Their Time to
Ascertain Whether or No Cases
Reported to Headquarters
Are Worthy of Charity.
Every good fellow in town has taken
a hand in the good work of the Muts
and is helping that bunch help the fel
low who Is hungry and out of work.
The whole scheme has been systema
tized and those who are in need are
given assistance, with the shortest pos
sible delay. Any such charity has al
ways to deal with the professional
"hanger on," but no man or woman who
is actually in need has to wait long for
help with the Muts.
Portland society women are helping
out as "inspectors." The minute an ap
plication is received, one of the women
dashes out with her own car and sees
that the case is a worthy one.
She returns immediately and the
needy family or person is helped, most
times within an hour or two after the
application for relief Is received. Port
land people have been pretty good In
some quarters. But the committee
needs more.
Any kind of food is needed. Many
persons have been donating boxes of
fruit or a sack of potatoes. The auto
mobile men of the city have helped to
the extent of offering autos with which
to gather supplies. '
Fred West, manager of the Overland
Company, and A. H. Brown, of the
Studebaker Company, have both offered
cars for then,use of the Muts. Other
dealers and private machines are also
used. In this way, every dollar that
is sent in and every ounce of food. Is
disposed of in a manner that eliminates
waste.
GRAND JURYAIDS IDLE
Employment Sought Rather Than
Prosecution for Xon -Support.
In addition to investigating alleged
crimes, the present Multnomah County
grand jury has stepped beyond Its
actual duty in dealing with cases In
volving domestic relations, and instead
of returning a number of Indictments
charging non-support against husbands
has turned its attention rather to se
curing employment for men who are
quits willing to work, but are out of
positions.
Deputy District Attorney Dempsey
SCEITES OF THE MUTS ACTIVITY
An Overland ear. donated by
Bonn, of the Overland branch, and
PET LIVESTOCK SHOW AND
says the grand jurymen are doing ad
mirable work along this line, which is
corrective rather than punitive, and in
many cases the assistance given is just
what is needed to settle family diffi
culties. Members of the grand Jury
have Interested friends in some of the
cases coming before them and have se
cured employment where it was much
needed. William Ballls. foreman of the
grand jury, has been especially active
In this work. .

ELECTRIC CODE ISSUE
CASH BOND FOR CONTRACTOR TO
BE ARGl'F.D AT HEARING.
Provision Would Onst Small Concer
and ladepeadeat W rem em Fram
Business Is Main Coateatlom.
Electrical contractors, wiremen and
small electric concerns have been no
tified by City Commissioner Dieck
that on December 11 there will be a
hearing at which all concerned will be
permitted to give their views on the
provisions of a proposed electric code
that has been prepared by a committee
representing the electrical contractors
and the electric workers' union and fix
ture men. '
This probably is the announcement of
the opening of a heated controversy
which was started several months ago
when the proposed new code was com
pleted. It has been held In abeyance
by Commissioner Dieck.
The principal bone of contention Is a
provision which. If adopted by the City
Council, wll require every contractor
to furnish a cash bond of $100 In addi
tion to a surety bond of Jt00 before
undertaking any electric work. It is
declared by members of the electrical
union that this is a provision aimed to
put small concerns and independent
wiremen out of the contracting busi
ness. It Is said that if an electrician who
is out of work gets a job of wiring a
house he must not only furnish to the
city a surety bond of $500, but he must
also put up $100 in cash as an addi
tional bond. It is contended that in
hundreds of cases in Portland this
would prevent good workmen from tak
ing contracts, because they could not
furnish the S100 cash bond.
Another union argument Is that the
surety bond of S500 which 1b exacted
under the law at present is sufficient to
protect the public from unskilled or un
reliable workmen. In case a contract
is not completed properly. It is said,
the surety bond furnishes ample pro
tection. PENSION CHANGE LIKELY
OREGON CONGRESS OF MOTHERS
WOULD LIMIT PAYMENTS.
Legislature to Be Asked to Alter Law
to Require Certain - Period of
Residence of Beneficiaries.
Amendments to the widows' pension
law now in effect will be sought at the
coming session of the LegisTature. The
Oregon Congress of Mothers, which is
responsible for the law, also framed
the amendments to be presented to the
Legislature for action.
The changes desired are more matters
of detail than that they affect the chief
purpose and intent of the law. They
will ask that a certain period of resi
dence in this state be required before
anyone may become a beneficiary of the
act. and it is expected that a maximum
pension to be paid to any family will
be fixed at $40. Certain other condi
tions to be complied with also will be
included.
A saving of $18,000 for the current
year in the administration of the wid
ows' pension is claimed by Peter Mc
intosh. Chief Probation Officer of the
Juvenile Court, through which the pen
sions are awarded and paid. The amount
asked in the last budget for this year
will show a surplus of this amount and
although expenditures amount to nearly
$3000 a month, the amount asked for
the coming year will bo the same as
last, $50,000.
During each month of 1914 there has
been an Increase of approximately $100
over the preceding month in the amount
paid in pensions. During the current
year to November 1. $25,281 has been
expended. The law went Into effect
June 3, 1913. and during the remainder
of that year pensions aggregating
$14,190 were paid.
Mothers drawing pensions are apply
ing the money to the aid of 360 chil
dren, who are being benefited. Pen
sions ran ere from $10 to $40 a month.
OfThe 138 mothers, 23 have one child
each, 45 have two children, 28 have
three, 23 have four, seven have five,
five have six, one has seven and one
has nine children.

ARCHITECT BILL NOW UP
Judge Cleeton Keconnts Kelly Butte
Agreement in Letter.
For the information of the County
Commissioners and the County Auditor
in dealing with the claim of Whidden
& Lewis, architects, for preparing plans
for the Kelly Butte jail. County Judge
Cleeton has submitted a letter recount
ing the circumstances, since the matter
came up while he was chairman of the
Board. He states that Mr. Whidden at
that time said he would make no
charge for the work, in view of the
firm having the contract for the plan
ning of the new Courthouse.
Since that time Whidden & Lewis put
In a bill for $710, which the Commis
sioners have reported on unfavorably.
Judge Cleeton states In his letter that
he recalls Mr. Whidden's conversation
distinctly, but he believes this would
not be binding upon him, and the work
would entitle the firm to compensation.
However, as to whether the bill will
be paid, he says, rests with the present
Board. '
BONDING CHANGE IS AIM
Bancroft Act Is Declared Hardship
in Some Cases.
Believing that some of the provisions
of the Bancroft bonding act under
which the city now handles street and
sewer improvements are inadequate,
the City Commission proposes to sub
mit to -the State Legislature some
amendments to make the handling of
improvement bonds and assessments
less cumbersome and expensive and re
lieving some of the owners of prop-
erty of burdens to which they are sub
jected at present.
A property owner now cannot give a
lien to the city for an improvement
assessment where the amount is less
than S25. but must pay the amount in
cash. The. City Commission proposes
to have this cut down to $10.
The Commission proposes also to ask
the Legislature to change the Bancroft
act so that bonds may be issued In
denominations of $1000. At present
tne bonds ljave to be Issued in $500
denominations.
VAnother change to be asked is In re
gard to the payment of interest on out
standing bonds. The Bancroft act re
quires the payment of interest semi
annually, while property-owners pay
tneir interest annually. As a result
the city oftentimes has to loan money
from other municipal funds to make up
the amount of interest due. The city
pays Interest each six months, while
the property owners from whom the
city has to get the money to make such
payments pay only once a year.
The proposed changes in the act were
considered at a meeting of the Com
mission yesterday. City Attorney La
Roche has been asked to frame the
proposed amendments and he will pre
sent tnem to tne Legislature in person.

WEST MAY BE FOILED
ABILITY TO OUST COV-VTT JUDGES

Cleefon Relies on Constitution as
Interpreted by Attorney E-rana
and Banishes Worry.
Governor West's statement that he la
likely to declare the office of County
Judge vacant In several counties of thf
state and appoint their successors ma)
meet with cruel disappointment, it il
said by legal authorities here who art
somewhat familiar with what a Gov.
ernor may do by warrant of law. The
constitution, they say. fixes some boundi
as to what may be attempted by aa
erratic state executive. i
County Judge Cleeton refused to
worry yesterday about the possibility
of his being yanked out of his latest
berth by the Governor. He relies upon
the constitutional statement that offi
cials retain their offices until their suc
cessors are elected, otherwise no va
cancy occurs. This Is particularly tru
n this county, where no candidates foi
the office of County Judge appeared on
the ballot and those who have looked
Into the subject see no chance foi
Judge Cleeton to be ousted.
District Attorney Evans scouts th
possibility of Governor West carrying
out his purpose. He points to article
la. section 1. of the state constitution.
which states -all officers of the state
except members of the Legislative As
sembly shall hold office until their suc
cessors shall have been elected and
qualified. He believes no vacancy ex
ists. In this county at any rate, and
tnat judge Cleeton will remain In offlct
for two years more.
