The license committee of the city council is after the money lenders of Portland who refuse to pay the regular tax, and yesterday decided to recom mend ail amendment to the present or dinance that will stop the course taken by them to esoape paying, the license. The ordinance was changed so as to Include every form of lending money, buying salaries or advancing money on salaries earned or unearned. Councilman Rumelin was before the 'committee and explained the method by which many of the money lenders had escaped the tax. "They say they do not lead money," he stated, "but when a person comes into their place to negotiate a loan, they buy his salary, giving a certain sum which will allow tnough surplus for the Interest. This has been going on for a long while and this amendment has been suggested as . t measure of reaching them." After some further discussion the intendments carried unanimously. It reads as follows: ' Section 1. That paragraph IS of Section t of Ordinance No. 11.784, en titled "An Ordinance licensing, taxing nd regulating for the purpose of City revenue, businesses, callings, trades, or employments with the city of Portland," ind the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section IS. Each and every person, Brni or corporation engaged In the busi ness of loaning money upon personal ' property, or of negotiating a loan of money upon personal property or ad vancing or negotiating advances on sal aries or buying or negotiating to buy lalarles earned or unearned, shall be Seemed a money lender, and shall pay a license tax of S5 per quarter. This will not be understood as applying to pawnbrokers.

Inclines to the belief that de fective electric wiring caused the fire which destroyed the Park school last Friday. He has been Informed by a member of a local contracting firm that electric wires were also laid across the roof of Park school They were In sulated, but exposed to the element at a point where they touched the tin cov ering the base of the -cupola. The In formant is satisfied the Insulation wore off the wires, resulting In the destruc tlon of the building. Detective Hartman, assigned to In vestigate the circumstances surround ing the Are by Chief of Police Hunt, has been unable to discover a single, clue pointing to the work of an Incendiary. The authorities are the mora readily convinced that the fire originated on account of defective electric wiring by reason of the fact that a firebug would In all likelihood have started the fire in the basement. One effect of the fire at the school has been to stir the authorities into ac tivity as regards the safeguarding of other educational Institutions. "More hydrants are what aj-e needed," declared Fire ' Chief Campbell. "Pro vision was recently made for SO new hydrants. As soon as possible I shall place them. where they are most needed. It is my opinion that five pr six should be located In the vicinity of every school building." On the East Side. Battalion Chief Lee Holden has been Investigating the question of protec tion to the schools In East Portland. According to his findings, the educa tional Institutions of that section of the ctty have not been surrounded with tha hydrants necessary to prevent their destruction by Are. In most cases the hydrants are at a, considerable distance from the schools. In case of a bad fire the Brooklyn, Clinton, Woodlawn, Highland and Thompson schools would have little chance of being saved. The Brooklyn and Clinton Kelly buildings would likely be destroyed, while the Central, Williams and Holladay are at long distances from the hydrants. A few days ago Chiefs Campbell arul Holden went over the route of the pro pimed extension of the li-lnch main, which will he carried through to Al- bina from its present terminus at East Ash street. )t will be laid along East First street to Larrabee and thence to Lower Albina. The positions for the new hydrants were indicated by the chiefs. The waterfront along the east side trt the north will be given better protection by the extension, which will also complete the circuit with the big main running through Sunnyside. Examinations Arranged. Final arrangements were made for the examination Of Park school pupllti yesterday at assembly hall In the high school building, corner of Alder and Fourteenth streets. Each of the 21 teachers of the school was present with her class, and the names of about 300 pupils who will be. required to tako the examinations were read. The pupils were then excused. Today the eighth and ninth grades will be examined In hlntory. On Wed nesday all except those excused from examinations will take spelling. Gram mar on Thursday, georgraphy on Friday and arithmetic on the following Monday will complete the examinations. Sev eral Ktudies, including composition, will be cut off the 1 let of examinations thlw term on account of the burning of the records. A week from today cards of pro motion will be given out to those suc cessfully passing the examinations and to those excused from taking them. No standing will be marked on these cards. Those given pupils honorably promoted will be bo designated. 3 5 EAST SIDE FIBS.
