His arguments were those he has been presenting throughout his pres ent tour. Senator Reed's audience comfort ably filled the main floor of the mu nicipal auditorium here, which seats 14.000 persons, and overflowed into the first balcony. oovernor Oliver H. Shoup. who spoke briefly, said he believed no Colorado audience would be other than courteous and hoped all those present might learn something of the other side of the question. Laagksrr Stops Ileekliasr. Senator Reed opened his address by likening his voice to "a buss saw going through a pine knot, as the result of constant speaking. He said the audience was the best evidence of the interest American people take In public questions and elaborated the doctrine that power rests in the people. "This Is not a one-man country, he said, "but it is a 110.000,000 men country. Persons in the crowd started to heckle the senator and were greeted with cries of "put him out." Con fusion ensued but ended in laughter when the speaker said: "The bray ing of one ass ought not to break up a great meeting. Trlhate Paid ta Wilsoa. Referring to the Oklahoma inci dent, he said: "I never voted for suf frage but at that meeting when 1000 women sat quiet when the lights were cut off I about came to the con clusion that they were good enough to vote.

Open to All Pro ducers. Advocated Other Phases Are Considered. Upon one point as to how the high costs of working, worrying and sur viving may be overcome, the speak ers at the weekly luncheon of the Oregon Civic league were in accord yesterday, and that was the curtail ment of buying an jar as possible. On oth.r phases of the subject there was difference of opinion, including the public market, which was one of the chief topics of consideration. However, there was general unanim ity that it should be an "open" mar ket to which all producers might of fer their products at prices that would enable householders to buy direct without pajliisr cost of unnecessary handling, and wherein there should be advantages to both producer and consumer. City Commissioner Blgelow dis cussed the value pf the public mar ket. Mrs. George L. Williams and Mrs. K. O. Northrup, two of the women active in the movement of housewives, also spoke. Louise Palmer Webber advanced the claim that the solution of high costs could be reached if every man ufacturer were obliged to label his product with a statement of the cost nd if each wholesaler, jobber and retail merchant were required to do likewise, there would be no chance for maintaining the practice of over charging. She declared that prof iteering is rife, but that women are m&king u serious mistake in thinking that they can combat profiteering by assailing the public market. W. K. Newell and C. E. Spence. master cf the State Grange, also spoke. v 1 " a ' : ' ' .t . tit - V "1 i" -amT - V 1 " ' 1 I'pper I,ooklng down 00 eonnlnjr to vrer of l'-S.q from U. S. S. Bittern.

Mr. Cowperthwait yesterday said that the shooting of the animals which resulted In the investigation by the mayor was Justified and that in a similar case in the future he would take similar action. Friday Mayor Baker ordered Mr. Cowperthwait out of the executive offices after the president of the hu mane society had testily referred to some of the directors in the society as "cattle." "Several weeks ago we received a call to attend to a cat which had a broken back." said Mr. Cowperthwait yesterday. "An officer was sent out and when he found the cat stretched out helpless and dying, he ordered the children away and shot the animal. "The dog referred to In the contro versy was suffering from a broken hip and would have died within an hour. The same procedure was fol lowed. "As far as I am concerned I intend to conduct the Oregon Humane so ciety's work as I see fit and I do not Intend to allow the mayor to dictate. I certainly will not resign and if the directors see fit to discharge me, that Is their right." Mayor Baker said he did not intend to enter into any controversy with Mr. Cowperthwait. but was satisfied that the president of the humane so ciety should be replaced. "All that I care to say," said the mayor, "is that I Intend lo request the board of directors to replace both the president of the society and Of ficer Norris. as I do not consider either man fit to be connected with humane work. If the request is de nied. I will most certainly take steps to divorce the "city from the humane society, at least until such time as proper officers are employed to han dle the work of the society."
