The fog which visited Portland Fri
day night and caused general incon
venience was still heavy yesterday
morning. Traffic was greatly impeded
yesterday morning, but as the day
advanced the fog became thinner and
offered practically no Inconvenience
to drivers of automobiles, street cars
and other vehicles.
No serious accidents were reported
as a result of tne mist, aunuugn ui
the automobile accidents of a minor
haracter reported Friday night, the
rivers in 11 of them blamed the log.
In all there were 25 automobile acci-
ents reported yesterday, in which
hree persons were injured, dui none
seriously.
J. J. Cassidy. 1311 t;ast rourteentn
street, was struck by a motorcycle
riven by W. is. Judd. 3t c:onraa
treet, at 4:10 P. M. yesteraay at .uor-
ison ana r ourtn streets tmj
men sustained Druises. tassiuj a-i
reated at the police emergency hos-
ital. Judd was taken to bt. v in-
ent s hospital, where ne is said to
have suffered bruises to his right side
F. R. demons. First ana Harrison
streets, injured his right root wnen
the motorcycle on which he was rid

and Harrison streets.
P. C. Hawden. 131 East sisty-niinn
treet North, was taken to ot. v in
enfs hospital suffering from bruises
about the left eye as a result oi a
ollision in the fog at Ihird ana
Glisan streets.
The lack of accidents of a serious
character is believed by the police to
have been i due to the fact tnat prac-
ically all drivers used tne utmost
recaution during tne lime tnat. tne
og was Heaviest ana me uau&er
greatest.
Many automoDtie owners aia not
rive to work yesterday morning ow-
ng to the fact tnat tne ma.nn.ei m
R was still a detriment to saie
drlviog. Streetcars were considered a
safer means of conveyance, aitnougn
they were compelled to operate wun
ution until the curtain lifted to a
certain extent later in the day.
The fog of yesterday and tne pre
ceding night also greatly namperea
he movements of vessels on tne river
and In the harbor.

fair weather with easterly winds. IT

dent that Portland -will be freed of
fog.
I.lllle E,
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 27. (Spe
cial.) W. D. Lane, city councilman,
who for some time has been consid
ered as a possible candidate for
mayor and who in any event was
counted upon as a municipal candi
date carrying the Indorsement of the
triple alliance, filed a declaration of
his candidacy for re-election at noon
today. He seeks one of the three-year
terms and with the filing of his dec
laration all five municipal officials
whose terms expire In March were
enrolled as candidates to succeed
themselves.
The f.iling of Lane's declaration
clears the way for themayoralty can
didacy of James E. Bradford, former
corporation counsel and runner-up In
the mayoralty fight of two years ago.
However, Bradford said today that he
had not yet decided to enter the race,
two or three personal considerations
remaining to be settled. He will de
clare himself, if he is to run, before
the end of December, he said.
Lane n Out of W1T,
While it is possible that things
might have worked around to the
point where Bradford would declare
himself if Lane remained .noncommit
tal, no secret was made of the fact
that Mr. Bradford considered Lane's
declaration for the council as a step
that cleared up one important phase
of the mayoralty contest.
"If I file," added Mr. Braford, "It
will not be as the candidate of any
faction or with the indorsement of
any faction. I shall simply go up and
file and that will be all there will
be to It. I am not eeeKing, nor is my
action dependent upon the attitude
of any local factions."
Just what is noiding back his
formal declaration is a matter that Is
known only to Bradford and his clos.
est friends. However, it is evident
that he is very strongly inclined to
ward a decision to enter the city fight.
Alliance Support Exneeled.
It Is believed In city hall and gen
eral political circles that Councilmen
O. T. Erickson and W. D. Lane will
have the support of the"trlple alli
ance." Their independent filing and
the announcement from Bradford that
he will declare himself without wait
ing for any- indorsements Indicates
that the "triple alliance" will make
up its slate after the candidates have
filed. This action will avoid the pro
vision of the charter that candidates
must swear they have not entered
the race as candidates of any political
party.
In political circles the filing of dec
larations of candidacy on the part of
Paul K. Mohr and two other council
manic candidates satisfactory to the
"triple alliance" Is expected. Whether
the organization will oppose Corpora
tion Counsel Walter F. Meier has not
yet been indicated.
SEATTLE UTILITY UPHELD
GAS COMPANY HELD NOT NEG
LIGENT DURING STRIKE.
Public Service Commission Denies
City's Petition for Repara
tion to Consumers.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Dec. 27. (Spe
cial.) Holding that the Seattle Light
ing company made reasonable en
deavor to remedy defective service
caused by the strike of employes last
Sentember. and that consumers in lact
had nald for gas consumed and no
more, the nubile service commission
todav denied the petition of the city
of Seattle for reparation to individual
consumers.
The finding is based on evidence In
troouced at a hearing held October 3
in Seattle, on complaint filed with
the commission alleging Inadequate
and Inferior gas supply by the light
ing company. At that time the power
of the commission to pass on the
question of reparation was challenged
by the lighting company.
The commission in the flndlnf
handed down today holds It is author
ized under the statute to order repa
ration In proper cases, but that where
the company has not been negligent
and has not violated the law. order
for reparation should be confined to
instances of actual overcharges. The
commission comments on facts that
few Individual complaints of exces
sive bills were filed.
Actual consumption of gas during
the period complained of totaled but
little less than the normal consump
tlon would have been under condi
tions without the strike, the commis
sion holds. While not prepared to
hold that a strike in every Instance
will excuse a utility company for In
adequate service, Ahe commission as
serts its reluctance to establish a
precedent under which dissatisfied
employes may cripple public service
and at the same time use the commis
sion as a "club on the back of a utility
already staggering under a blow
which they themselves have dealt."
"We are not charging that such ob
ject was sought In this case," the
commission says, "but any decision
based upon principles that would tend
to encourage the use of such double
weapon would be dangerous and unsound."
