THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECE3IBEP 17, 1916. V STORES SENDS. O.S. FOR SALES FORGES Christmas Buying Reaches High Point and Exceeds Vol ume of Previous Seasons. PROSPERITY IS INDICATED Shops So Crowded That Difficulty Is Experienced in Moving About and Report Is That Better Quality Gifts Are Sought. Cliristmas shopping reached Its height for the present season, yester day, with department stores clamoring for help to handle the crowds. One of the big stores Is soliciting personally old employes no longer with the firm to come In this week and help out. "Usually we have 150 people on the waiting list for the Christmas rush," eaid a store manager yesterday. "This season there are practically none, not more than 10 to 15. I mean, of course, trained salespeople, and we need them badly. With the store crowded, we are crying for help." The concerted attack of Christmas shoppers yesterday outdfd that of any day this year and compared favorably with the biggest days of former years. Every day of the coming week is ex rected to be one of intense activity, of big crowds and generous purchases. Buying Reported Heavy. The Christmas season to date, say retailers, has outdone similar periods of former years in the amount of busi ness transacted. The grand total of the present week is expected to be very large and. with the shortage of help reported, the late Christmas shopper is in for some exciting experiences in the annual rush to the stores. Crowds literally Jammed the shops yesterday. There were steady streams of humanity passing in and out and in the main aisles of the stores the con Restion reached the maximum. Prog ress was difficult throughout the after T" n and the store officials acted as i tic officers to keep- the lines of people moving. "Keep to the right" was the order and by this means the crowds were handled satisfactorily. The people who shopped were intent on buying, too. They were eager in making collections of gifts that ranged throughout the entire shopper's list. In every department of the big stores there were busy buyers and salespeo ple were almost overwhelmed. Orders Placed for Poor. One etore reported it has been made the custodian of many Christmas secrets by busy people who have made deposits of money, with specific orders how it is to be spent, so that the purchaser is relieved of much time and worry, These lists are mostly for the benefit of children and some of these trusts are charitable in their nature. The plan works well and its adoption is likely to become more general in future. Generally speaking, gifts of better quality than ever are in demand this year. Shoppers Fhow taste and dis crimination and they have the money, too. Ths reported lack of persons who seek temporary positions on the sales forces during the holiday rush is indi cative of a more general prosperity than ever before, and the quality of Christmas gifts being chosen argues alone the same line. It Is now really too late to shop earlv. for the final week of the mad dening rush is upon gift choosers. How ever, shopping early in the day Is ad vised in order that customers may be served satisfactorily. EXPLOSION FACTS ASKED SENATE CALLS OX NAVAL SECRE TARY FOR REPORT. Findings of Investigating Board Not Made Public by Mr. Daniels: Opinion Is Divided. 'WASHINGTON', Dec. 16. Secretary Daniels is called on by a resolution in troduced by Senator Brandegee and adopted without objection by the Sen ate today, to send to the Senate the report of naval boards which investi gated the explosion aboard the sub jnarine E-2 at the New York Navy-yard pome months ago, and later went over the whole subject of submarine data. The report of the final board which took up the battery question carried no conclusions, and was sent back by Sec retary Daniels to be amended. 'A di vided opinion then was disclosed, a ma jority of the board recommending that the Edison battery used on the E-2 should not be installed on other sub marines. A minority report found that there were advantages in the Edison battery which made it preferable. The 'text of these reports never have been made public.

BRANIN CASE IS IN COURT Recent Supreme Court Finding Is Basis of Decision; Street Rail way Company Defends Ac tion for Damages. The $7500 limit lid for the amount ol damages which may be obtained f rom a corporation or person responsible for an accidental death is off. Basing his decision on a recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Oregon. Circolt Judge Kavanaugh yesterday overruled a demurrer with the result that Mrs. Edith Branin may recover $75,500 from the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company for the death of her husband, J. Walter Branin, last December under the wheels of a streetcar. If the Jury ;n the case finds for the plaintiff in the full amount asked. The death of Mr. Branin comes under the employers' liability law, it was ruled, which is now held to apply to the public generally, as well as to employes. This argument was raised In the brief of Attorneys D. A. Norton. Oswald West, Claude McCuIloch and Frank Collier, who appear foe the widow of Mr. Branin, and is the same one which was sustained bytthe Su preme (Court ruling in the case of Ella Clayton against the Enterprise Elec tric Company, of La Grande. Last week (he Supreme Court ruled that Mrs.- Clayton was entitled to recover, under the employers' liability act, damages for the death of her husband, who touched an uninsulated switch, to an amount greater than $7500. Mr. Branin Killed by Car. Mr. Branin, who was Portland man ager of the United' Press, was ground to death by a streetcar at the corner of Broadway and Union' avenue a year ago. Mrs. iiranin filed suit against me railway company, and the demurrer to this suit was argued yesterday. The demurrer was based on the grounds that Mrs. Branin could not bring suit under section 380 of Lord s Oregon laws, as she was not the executrix of the estate of her husband and because the same section of the law provides that the limit which may be sued for by an executrix is $7500. The attorneys for the piainmr nave held that the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company is the operator or the "dangerous instrumentalities' men tioned by the employers' liability act. and that recurring phrases in the act. making its application to the "gen eral public" mean Just what they say. This. In substance, is tne position ot the Supreme Court- Effect Is AVldespread. The effect of this ruling is wide spread. Under the employers' liability statute, the employer Is bound to use the highest degree of care in protect ing the lives of employes and,to use the best safeguarding equipment, re gardless of cost. This Is held to repeal, aecoraing to Attorney Norton, the city ordinance providing for the type of fenders to be used on street cars. The fenders In use by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company comply with the city ordinance, but are not the best obtatn- ble. it Is asserted, and therefore vio late the provisions of the liability act. state law. One of the points on which 'Mrs. Branin rests In her suit Is that the fender of the street oar was defective and did not operate with the swiftness and accuracy necessary to have saved her husband's life.
