CITY'S REDUCTION IS LARGEST Early Completion of County Hospital Recommended. COST ESTIMATES LACKING Commissioners Advised to Require More Frequent Reports on Re quisitions of Welfare Bureau. Supervision of the 1922 budgets of 19 tax levying bodies in Multnomah county by the tax supervising and conservation commission resulted in a tax levy reduction of approximately $600,000 over the levies requested, according to the annual report of this body, filed with Governor Olcott yesterday. The commission was created by an act of the 1921 legislative assembly and K. W. Mulkey, L. J. Goldsmith and It. L. Sabin were appointed mem bers by Governot01cott. . . Two-thirds of the reduction was made in the budget of the city of Portland, but it is explained that this does not necessarily imply that the city estimates were better able to stand cuts than other budgets. "In the case of the school district Kq. 1 and the Port of Portland budgets particularly," the report reads? "special financial and legal situations were found that made it inadvisable to reduce the, levies re quested." Four Biff Questions Faced. In reviewing the commission's work with the budget presented by the county of Multnomah, attention is called to four of the important Questions arising before the com mission. These included the publio welfare bureau, the new county hos pital, the Mount Hood Loop road and the payment of salaries in excess of statutory maximum. "With respect to the 1922 budget request for the new county hospital of $350,000,"' the report reads, "the hearings showed conclusively that there was urgent need for a change In the county hospital quarters from the present location and that work upon the new hospital should be con tinued and fmished at the earliest possible date. "The outstanding impression which this commission received during the hearings on that matter was the--lack of financial planning of the hospital as a completed project. It was im possible for the commission by much questioning to secure from any source an estimate even an approxi mate estimate of the probable total cost of the new hospital and all its necessary appurtenances. Hospital Programme Lacking. "A complete hospital programme was lacking and the commission found Itself in the position of not be ing able to appraise the project as a whole. "It did appear to the commission, however, that the undertaking was pursued on too elaborate a scale and that it could hardly be justified un der statutory authority which per mits the county to provide hospital facilities for the poor. It was pro posed in the discussion of this ques tion that the 1922 request of $350,000 be reduced to $200,000. which was deemed necessary to put the hospital in shape so that it could handle the immediate demands that would be made upon it. This proposition, not receiving unanimous support, was lost and the original request of $350. 000 was approved." In connection with the elimination of $85,000 from the budget, placed to cover the county's share in the build ing of the Mount Hood loop, the com (Conetuded on Page 6. Column 3.) AVE. A HEART .NNEAt-VVERtlSN! 1 i I el L Latest Xovelty in , Newspaperdom Will Be Separate Section Es pecially for Kiddies, Pure magic! These words describe The Sunday Oregonian'a newest feature, the very latest thing in newspaperdom, the In visible Color Book. Beginning at an early date, it will be a regular part of each big Sunday paper. This latest novelty The Oregonian offers to its readers is a "knockout" with the children and it takes the eye of grownups as well. Fathers and mothers will get tremendous en joyment in teaching their children how to do this magic, and they will like it so well they will want to con tinue to do the trick on their own account. The Invisible Color Book is to be a separate section of The Sunday Ore gonian. It consists of pictures of the most attractive kind, printed, ap parently, in plain black and white. But by brushing the pages with a piece of wet cotton, or painting them with a brush dipped in water, the natural color values of the pictures stand out in beautiful tints. Nothing more delightful could be given to children by a newsaper. Back of it all is a wonderful printing process, but all the kiddies need to know about it is that in an instant, by the simplest of tricks, they may become real artists. They are cer tain to be delighted with this new est of all newspaper features. The Oregonian is the only paper in this part of the country to offer this great attraction for children. It will make Sunday a day that will stand out bigger than ever on childhood's happy calendar. This is in addition to all the other attractions of the big Sunday Ore gonian, without a cent of added cost. Watch for the date of publication.

The physicians announced that it probably would be necessary again to lance the singer's throat tomorrow. 'I now see a ray of Easter hope," the singer's wife said tonight. She has kept an uninterrupted vigil of three nights at his bedside. Telegrams and cablegrams of sym pathy and good cheer continued to pour in upon the singer throughout the night.

GERMANS MAKE PAYMENT Gold Marks Totaling 18,051,079 Sent to Designated Banks. PARIS, April 15. The German gov ernment today notified the allied reparations commission that 18,051.079 gold marks had been paid into des ignated banks.

MANY BRIGHT HUES POPULAR Show Expected to Be Gayest City Ever Has Seen. MOTHER LITTLE IN DOUBT But Father Isn't Worrying About His Cofctume, for It'll Be Usual Aitaway and Topper. NEW YORK, April 15. Father and Mother Knickerbocker tonight were laying out their togs for the East-ir parade on the avenue Fifth avenue, of course. Father wasn't worrying about his. costume. It would be just the usual cutaway and topper, with the addi tion of a spotless necktie and per haps something new in the way of a walking stick. But mother was frankly just a little nervous. Style makers have been cut ting funny capers this season and she wasn't quite sure whether her new tailor-made would be the righest of right things or that she had selected the correct color for her bonnet. Fashion experts, when asked what would be the predominating shade on the avenue, shrugged their shoulders if they were Parisian, or muttered "I dunno" .if they were American. ' All in all, they were inclined to think the famous old thoroughfare was going to look like a rainbow. Guy Procession Expected. Judging by shop windows, it is go ing to. be the gayest, brightest, most multi-colored procession New Tork ever has known. Canary, purple and Vermillion; periwinkle blue, mimosa yellow and jade green all were on display and the frocks were as gay a the chapeaux. -. And,, jt there was variety in color, there certainly was variety in cut. No two modistes seemed to agree on the correct length for skirts, and the stockings well, "gorgeous" seemed the word to describe them. Footwear, too, had a way of break ing away from the happy mean, and indeed, it seemed a bit doubtful as to whether there was any mean at all. There were the staid old "ties" be hind the glass, and in with them a variety of slippers and sandals slashed like the jackets of the gal lants in the days of the cavaliers. No Style Says . Doorman. Robert Robert Hatfield doorman at a giant department store for 42 vears, was frankly disgusted. Rob ert who incidentally never has left his po3t for 23 years, except one day when he was ill, and who admits he's a bit of a critic on milady's apparel contends that style is dead. In between whiles when he wasn't opening the door of a limousine, Rob ert consented to give his opinions. . "There is no such thing as style now," he said; "it's nothing but taste. There's a flagrant disregard of sar torial conventions. "Something has happened and who ever it was who once said what wom an should wear must be looking for a job. Maybe it's the flapper. Maybe it's the flapper's mother. Whatever it is. it is a mystery. "Women this year are wearing ex actly what they please. Look at 'em. "Paris talks of long skirts. They don't seem very long, do they? Colors Ieclarel ETerjwhere, "The-y say colors are not exactly , fashionable. Did you ever see so much color on this street before? "No; style is dead. If a woman wants to wear purple, she does; if she likes black, she wears it. If she likes short sleeves, she forgets the long ones. If you go on the avenue (Concluded on Pae 3. Column 2.) EVENTS 11 N0Y Women's Apparel Shops Report Rushing Business Last Bay. Men's Trade Poor. Two reports ' last night indicated that Portiand would bloom today with fair raiment. The last word from the weather bureau was "Sunday fair, westerly winds," and as shopkeepers and department store owners, figura tively speaking, pulled down the shades in their windows and locked the safes, they commented for the most part that pre-Eaeter week had been a knockout from the standpoint of quantity sales with a grand final on the last day. ' Nearly all dealers in women's cloth ing said that while the week had been sketchy, trade fluctuating with the weather, Saturday was a busy day and stores were crowded with shop pers intent on being prepared . for Easter morning parade should Sol appear on the job to beam on new bonnets, bouquets, frock, and frills. But if new clothes indicate the vol ume of the church-going turnout, only the fair have been, brave, and those who are supposed to be brave to de serve the fair will be few and far between, for men's clothiers and hab erdashers wore -faces that looked like the clouds which overspread the city at noon yesterday, and frankly admit ted that business had been bad so far as men were concerned. - .

NEW YORK, April 15. The story of a gigantic waterspout which" chased the Cunard liner Carmania half a hour and then suddenly subsided when It was almost upon the hard-driven ship, was told by officers and passengers when she arrived today after a round trip to the near east The liner was about 800 miles out of New York when the spout was sighted. The spout, passengers said, ap peared as a slipht disturbance of water about eight miles south of her stern. Then the waves were twisted and churned and hurled skyward with terrific force In an ever-increasing volume while myriad colors played through the mass of water. For a time, they said, it stood still while Captain G. W. Melson. after pronouncing . it a big water spout ordered the-liner sent ahead at full speed. At almost the same mpment. the spout seemed to take wings and rush after the ship. Passengers crowded aft. Smoke belched from the ship's funnels, while the Carmania strained every atom of her strength to escape. As the spout traveled it grew larger. It widened rapidly and towered high in the air, throwing tons of spray. At first passengers thought it just Domestic. Parade in gotham to rival rainbow. Sec tion 1, page 1.

JURY TRIAL PROPOSED Government Proposes to Except Only Civil Cases and Offenses Against State. BY BEN HL'R LAMPMAN. KYOTO. Japan, March 21. (Mail.) Within the week we have passed through the garden lands of Japan, have seen her sweetest valleys and most fertile fields. North from Tokyo to Nikko and south and west again to this ancient capital and city of tem ples, traversing in a day those dis tricts where the Terraced ' wheat crowds the snow fields of the Hakone mountains, and those clement low lands of orange and tea and bursting peach bloom. Of all seasons It is the season of toil in the sunrise empire, when the loam must be broken against the swift summer. Both sexes and all ages are in bond to the soil, from here to the skyline, wherever an acre may be won. But nowhere in any field, valley or hill land, have we eeen a plow. There is no need for plows in Japan. Hore the farmer earns his bread by sweat alone. Upon this soil for gen erations has been outpoured the serf like toil of millions. No Recess la Taken. For all that. Markham could not have written his peasant protest in a Japanese springtide. The man with the hoe is a salient feature of the landscape, but the emptiness of ages seems not to have oppressed htm, nor has his jaw been brutalized by toil. And as for leaning on his implement and staring at the clods in vague re bellion against his lot, there simply isn't time for such a recess. Yokel he may be, stooped of shoulder and seamed of face, but somehow or other he has kept his song and an intimacy with April moods of nature. Hopeless as is his portion, he has steadfastly declined so to regard it. Time was when he did not know the meaning of injustice, or the savor of the word democracy but now there are strange stirrings in Japan. It is an economic law that he must keep his hoe, but manhood shall not be de nied him. Japan Has No Plow. At any rate, thero are no plows in Japan. This for the sufficient reason that one such would displace a half dozen laborers, who must thereafter stand aside and hunger. ' Toil is here more of a necessity than mechanical conveniences, and the low standards of the laborer have been his enforced birthright. A memory of Japan must ever be that of the blue-clad hus bandman breaking the acres with his clumsy hoe, or the coolie straining at his laden cart up some cruel hill road. The issue is not yet that of human brawn against the machine. but of man matched with beasts of burden, and still bearing more than his proportionate share of the load. There is a trace of unconscious irony in the existing agitation for the organization of a society to pre vent cruelty to animals. Yet there Is a glimmer of hope as well. They would make it a crime to beat a horse in public." In time they may go further and make it criminal to work men as beasts are worked. They are breeding larger- horses. They may breed larger men. There are portents of a dawning democracy in the trend of current (Concluded on Pase. 6, Column 1.) PERRY. $rAE.LT Ofc.

Damage estimated at $25,000 was done early this morning at Pilot hock in a fire of Incendiary origin, which caused a loss of 110.000 in wheat and the warehouse building, owned by H. W. Collins of this city, and a loss of $15,000 in wheat, hay and warehouse facilities of the Pa cific Coast Elevator company. This was the third large fire to occur within the past three months In Pilot Rock. Shortly after 2 A. M. the fire was discovered by a woman and seemed to come from the center of the Pa cific Coast Elevator company's ware house. Citizens were called but the fire equipment did not permit hose to be used and a bucket brigade was all that saved the Farmers' Mutual warehouse. The Pendleton fire department rushed 600 feet of hose to the town, but all efforts to save the two build ings were unavailing. The losses were fully covered by insurance and both companies announce that they will rebuild in the same locations. A peculiar coincidence in the three fires is that all started at the same hour in the morning. A fire fiend Is thought responsible by the people of Pilot Rock. One hundred and fifty tons of coal, belonging to tbe Pilot Rock Lumber company was burned, $2500 worth of wool owned by the Cunningham Sheep company and six boxcars of the O.-W.

Williams. Wall street steamship operator, for $100,000 and Williams Is suing Lester for $150,000, all over the affections of Mrs. Amanda Lester, who In her time has been the wife of both men. And now, according to the two men, she is living with neither of them. Williams' married her in 1900 In Camden, N. J., and they- lived hap pily until 1914, when, according to his complaint made today, Lester alienated her affections. Then Will iams got a divorce and Lester mar ried her. Lester's suit, filed two weeks ago, alleges that In 1920 Will lams went to Seattle with a second wife, dropped her there, and, again wooing his first spouse, took her away from Lester and brought her back east. Lester charged that Will iams and Mrs. Lester were now living together in New York. This allega tion Williams denied today In a for mal answer. WHITE HOUSE THRONGED 1500 Visitors Shake Hands With Chief Executive. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 3 5. The stream of visitors that has flowed into the White House since President Harding inaugurated the practice of holding dally receptions reached high water mark today, when 1500 people shook hands with the chief executive. They filed past him in his office at the rate of "10 to 55 a minute. White House officials estimated that 7500 persons had shaken hands with Mr. Harding this week. Sightseers and students from' high schools and colleges made up the larger groups of callers. GIRL FAKER GETS CASH Pretended Solicitor for Salvation. Army Takes Contributions. MEDFORD, Or., April 15. Medford police were looking for a pretty young girl about 20 years old, who, with a smile on her face and a tambourine in her hand, obtained $15 or $20 from local merchants today on the plea she was soliciting for the Salvation Army. The fraud was discovered when one of the merchants queried local Salva tion Army headquarters and found that no one had been authorized to make such solicitations. H VJcLTS Definite Yes-or-No Reply Is Demanded. SOVIET DELEGATES EVASIVE Claim for' 50 Million Gold Rubles Held Amazing. FRENCH SEEM IRRITATED I.loyd George Announces That Aim Is to Form Pact Between 3 1 Nations Represented. GENOA. April 15 (Rr the Associ ated Press.) The Russian delegates were told today to answer definitely- ' yes or no as to whther they will put into practice the conditions of the Cannes resolution and the guaran tees submitted to the London experts' report, according to a French com munique Issued tonight subsequent to the adjournment of a lengthy meeting between the allied leaders and the Russians. It seemed impossible, said 'he French statement, to get anything tangible ' from the soviet delegates, who astonished the allied' repreaenta tives by demanding 50.000.000.000 gold rubles as the amount due Russia be cause of foreign intervention. This is two and a half times greater than the amount the allies claim from Russia. An Italian statement regarding the meeting was more optimistic. It pointed out that the subjects dis cussed are more vast In scope than was dreamed of when the Genoa con ference originated. Italian Statement Out. "This," .says the statement, "Is an attempt to bring about the co-existence In the world of finance economy and commerce two opposite regimes capitalism and communism. This morning the experts were struggling In a kingdom of figures and In the afternoon the allied leaders took the discussion back Into the kingdom of principles." Premier Lloyd George of Great Brit ain has announced that his aim at the Genoa conference Is to bring Into be ing a pact among the 34 nations rep resented, agreeing not to Invade on another's territories. It would be similar to the four-power pact nego tiated at Washington. Britain Is against a pact with mili tary sanctions. It was declared, be cause sanctions belong to the order of ideas that an endeavor Is being made to get away from, and guaran tees would mean a new grouping of the powers. The military holiday Idea Is not practical. Harding's Plea Followed. In response to questions, the spokesman for the British said that Mr. Lloyd George's plan resembled President Harding's Idea for an as sociation, which It was hoped would bring dlramament or a big reduction of armament In its wake. Lloyd George today received a cable message from Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland, saying he " about to propose a resolution In the American senate asking that America be represented at the conference. The message was referred to the secretary-general of the conference. The British attitude was described as being that the British government could not Interfere with the affairs of another nation. Those who participated In the con ference this afternoon at the Villa de Albertls. Mr. Lloyd George's resi dence, were Vice-Premier Harthnu. of France: Premier Fsrta and Foreign Minister Sohanser of Italy; premier Theunys and Foreign Minister Jan par of Belgium, and M.
