Concluding after, investigation that provisions of the proposed Jitney regu lation ordinance submitted to the Coun t-il 10 days ago by Commissioner Daly a re too drastic, Mr. Daly yesterday an nounced that he will seek a withdrawal ft that measure and will introduce a n-w ordinance much less drastic The n-w measure was sent to City Auditor Birbur yesterday for submission to the Council at a Jitney hearing Tuesday ;oornlng. In the new measure Mr. Daly reduces t he amount proposed as a license against the Jitneys, abolishes the plan of fixing jitney routes in such manner as to re quire the Jitneys to operate on streets not coursed by streetcars: eliminates .ill provision requiring the Jitneys to liave bonds or other assets to protect passengers in case of accident: permits the overcrowding of the jitneys: elimi nates the necessity of the jitneys secur ing a franchise as proposed in the origi nal ordinance, and makes it imperative for the jitneys to give service only dur ing the morning and evening rush hours. In the new measure Mr. Daly has backed down from his entire jitney policy. lie has abandoned the jitney routing system which originally he con tended was the basis of all Jitney regu lation. Whether or not the Council will concede to his new plan is a question, inasmuch as the majority of the Coun cil, heretofore has contended that the jitney regulation should be drastic License Jm Necessity. In the new measure as proposed every driver of a Jitney automobile or bus is required to obtain a license. Cara carrying five passengers will be required to pay $2 a month; those carrying eight passengers. $3 a month, and buses carrying more than eight passengers 10 a month. The drivers of the machines are to be required to apply to Commissioner Daly for a license. He will cause each applicant to designate the route upon which he proposes to operate. The Council will have authority to cancel the license and put the jitney out of business at any time. Each Jitney will file a schedule of trips to be maintained. Upon selecting a route the driver must paint in oil paint on his windshield and on the sides of his car signs indicat lng his route. He will be required to remain on that route until he gets written consent from Commissioner Daly to make a change. The measure would require the Jit neys .to commence service at 6 A. M. and run until 10 A. M. At that time they may lay off until 3 P. II.. when service must be resumed and continued -until 11 P. M. On Sundays they need not commence operating until 7:30 A. M. Originally Commissioner Daly pro posed that they give service from 6 A. M. until midnight continuously. Kane Allowed on Rnnalne Boards. The new measure makes no mention of the number of passengers to be car ried except that there may be no more than one passenger in the seat with the driver and no passengers may be allowed to ride on the running board or steps of buses. Within 90 days after the passage of the ordinance' all autos In the service will be required to have non-skid tires. Any person found guilty of any Incompetency in driving or any wilful violation of a city ordi nance shall be debarred from driving any bus In the city for one year, the ordinance provides. The measure, in addition to requir ing the route signs to be painted on the machines, prohibits the use of re movable signs indicating the routes. The measure prohibits jitneys from charging more than a 5-cent fare and prohibits the carrying of intoxicated persons or persons conducting them selves in a disorderly manner. No mention Is made In the measure about the responsibility of the jitneys. In the old measure the machines were required to furnish surety bonds and accident insurance for the protection of passengers who might get hurt.

In Conference of Bishop Bell, in charge of the Pacific Coast United Brethren churches, with the seven local superin tendents of Oregon, closed Friday. These sessions were preliminary to the annual Oregon conference at Salem, June 2. Bishop Bell went over the de tailed reports with the superintendents to ascertain the condition of church af fairs within the Oregon Conference. It was reported that no extension work had been undertaken this year, but Tacoma and several other fields were considered for future operations. Condition of Philomath College was discussed informally, and It was de veloped that there prospects are ex cellent for substantial financial assist ance. A rally of all the United Breth ren churches of Portland was held Thursday night in the First Church, East Morrison and East Fifteenth streets, with a sermon by Bishop Bell. Bishop Bell left Friday for Philomath, Or, where he was the guest of Bishop N. Castle, one of the founders of the United Brethren denomination, and yesterday left for San Francisco, where he will inspect the field and then return to Los Angeles, Cal. He will return to Oregon in June. According to the conference, the new method of local superintendents Is su perior to the old plan of a single dis trict conference superintendent, while the expense of the general superintend ent is dispensed with. invited to attend and explain what progress has been made In the develop ment of plans for a general sewer system. Surveys have been made prac tically from Parkrose on the east to the mouth of Columbia Slough in which field crews of men have been at work for two years. Two outlets have been proposed for the sewer system for the Peninsula Pnlnmhfa CI nn o- Vi nnjl an lntariontinn I trunk sewer running from the neighbor, hood of Parkrose to the Willamette OFj River. Proponed Trunk Costly. It is said this intercepting trunk will cost between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, and make the cost for each lot about $75. To make Columbia Slough the outlet, as urged by George S. Shepherd and others who have made careful in vestigations, it will only be necessary to deepen the intake, where it connects with the Columbia River about four feet to lower the intake below low water mark in the Columbia River and provide a current that will carry away sewage. Mr. Shepherd estimates' the cost of clearing out the intake at from $2000 to $4000, but it may cost more to clear away other obstructions In the slough in order to get sufficient cur rent. The opening of the intake would make the slough available for sewage, but not for boats. It was estimated that it would cost $650,000 to dredge Columbia Slough to a sufficient depth to admit small steamers as far a Woodlawn, or the Vancouver road. This was ex-City Engineer Hurl hurt's estimate and plan. Mr. Hurl burt's proposal was to dredge Columbia Slough and discharge all sewage from the Peninsula directly into the slough.

Mrs. Glenn Commons, whose home is at 126 Twenty-third street North, is the mother of a pretty little girl baby, Henrietta Jane Commons, who arrived to gladden the Commons household last August and has been a happy tot ever since. The mother says her physician. Dr. Amelia Ziegler, administered a treatment similar to "twilight sleep," and that the drug acted as marvelously as does the famous treatment that was given to the young mother in Oregon City recently. Trunk Objections Noted. Mr. Hurlburt also Investigated the intercepting trunk sewer project, which was to parallel Columbia Slough and connect with the Willamette River. He ascertained that at the mouth it would be necessary to install a pumping plant and pump tne sewage from the inter' cepting trunk into the Willamette River, as the sewer would be lower than the riverbed. He did not favor the construction. of ths intercepting trunk, and favored the use of Columbia Slough, and prepared plans for what was called the Delaware avenue sewer system with Columbia Slough as an outlet, hut this was defeated by re monstrance. The Woodlawn people at first fought the proposition to use Columbia Slough as an outlet for sewage of the Penin sula declaring that it would not be carried off, but spread out over the district in high water. Mr. Shepherd has made extensive in vestigations. He entered the Intake from the Columbia River In a small boat last year and made the trip of 20 miles through the slough, making soundings and examining the banks and currents. He believes that it is feasible to make the slough the out let. While the dredging of the slough is incidental, it is pointed out that it would cost less to dredge the slough than to build an intercepting trunk sewer and maintain a pumping station. The East St. Johns Improvement As sociation has started a movement to In. terest the Federal Government and the Port of Portland in the project of making Columbia Slough a waterway for boats. These proposals will be considered -at the mass meeting next Saturday night. FIRE ASSOCIATION ELECTS Oregon Body Xames J. W. Alexander Head and Votes to Reorganize. The Oregon Forest Fire Association at its annual meeting yesterday at the Benson Hotel decided to reorganize and redistrict the state with a view to ob taining greater effectiveness and econ omy in its work. The board of man agers will prepare plans for the reor ganization and submit them to the body in the next month. John W. Alexander was elected pres ident for the year, to succeed C. G. Briggs. C. S. Chapman was re-elected secretary and W. C. Calder, of Baker, was elected vice-president. Mr. Alex ander, G. B. McLeod, Wells Gilbert, H. D. Langille and George McPherson were named members of the board of managers. The trustees are A. w. DAY LABOR URGED ON CITY Labor Council Also to Seek lower Cost of Klectricity. That all public work in Portland should be done by day labor, regardless of the magnitude of projects, was advo cated at a meeting of the Central Labor Council Friday night. The legislative committee of the body was authorized to draft a tentative ordinance calling for such a procedure. As so&n as the ordinance is approved by the Central Labor Council it will be submitted to the City Council. The organization also will make light for reduced cost of electrical energy. Ben Osborn, international vice-presj dent of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, of Portland, and J. E. Mc- Clory, president of the same organiza tion, of Cleveland, addressed the meet ing. The council meets each Friday night at 162 H Second street. The meetings are open to all persons. PAVING PROTESTS IGNORED Conncil Orders Assessment for Im provement Made 1 1 Years Ago. To comply with a technicality of the law the City Council sat. for over an hour Friday and listened to the reading of communications from Ralph Dunlway, attorney for property owners on Albina avenue, on Karl street and on Oak street. The communications were regarding protests against the assessment of costs for pavement laid in these streets many years ago. The Council then overruled all the objec tions and sent the proceedings along for the assessment of the costs against the property. The pavement in Albina avenue from Page street to River street, and that in Karl street from Milwaukie street to East Twentieth street, was laid about 11 years ago. It has been- paid for by the city, but the city has not collected from the property owners. EUGENIC BABY PASSES TWO YEAR POST. Representative Lenta, Who Fathered Ulll, Thinks if Cities Join Taxes Will Be Lowered. D. C. Lewis, of St. Johns, who was member of the Multnomah delega tion in the lower house of the recent Legislature and who fathered the bill that will make it possible for adjoln- ng cities to merge, says that the peo ple of St. Johns will return an over whelming vote in favor of the consol idation of St. Johns with Portland when the Issue comes up on April 5. Representative Lewis reports that there is little active opposition to the merger and that the principal tax payers and most of the business. men are supporting it. The fact that taxes probably will be lower if the two cities are joined is held out as one of the principal inducements. Several years ago the people of St. Johns voted to merge with Portland, but the Supreme Court held that the law under which that action was taken was unconstitutional. It was necessary, therefore, for the Legislature of 1913 to submit a constitutional amendment to the people that would make possible the merging of cities. This amendment was adopted by a large majority at the election In November. The recent Legislature then passed a bill in conformity with the constltu t . designating the manner in which the merger might be accomplished. It provides, in brief, that each of the affected cities shall give a majority vote in favor of the plan Representative Lewis was the author of the bill and it was one of the first measures passed by the Leg islature. It .carried an emergency clause, so that the people of St. Johns may take advantage of the law at the forthcoming election. . t of Tnhn votes in favor of the merger' the proposal will be presented to the voters of Portland at the June election. mm mmh ? e -w.-wfflv;. c - -: n . a WmWi ( iitmnwminnni rii(tiMiuiiiiiiHiiniiitiiimntifiiiiiinnitiHMM a Welcome Guest Whether citizen, tourist or traveler from a far-off clime, you'll find hos pitable welcome at The Portland.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HAIR DON'T USE SOAP Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too muctt alkali, which la vf.r-o inlurlous. as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon ful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quiokly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. TheWiseDentalCo. Oldest Reliable Dentists in Portland tTHr8arrtiP. PLATES VriTH FLZXTBLR 6TCTIOW.
