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.

I COR. THIRD AND WASHINGTON STS.
David Campbell, chief of the fire de
partment. 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.

Inquiries are already being made by
foreign shipowners about the new dry
dock which will soon be in operation at
St. Johns.
French Consul Labbe received a leU
ter yesterday from one of the leading
firms at Nantes, France, wanting to
know the dimensions of the structure
and how large a ship It will accommo
date. The firm has vessels' en route to
the Pacific coast, and Intimate that one
or two of them may be taken on the
drydock at Portland If the proper facili
ties can be provided. Mr. Labbe will
send the desired Information.
Shipping men are agreed that the
new drydock nearing completion here
Is one of the best In the world. It has
a lifting capacity of 10,000 tons, and
can handle with ease the largest ves
sels In the grain and lumber trade. It
Is 480 feet in length, bat Is so arranged
that a ship 600 feet in length can bo
taken on and given treatment. The
beam is 80 feet in width.
The drydock will be ready about, the
middle of April to receive the first ves
sel. Two of the pontoons are still at
Vancouver, but as soon as the river
rises a trifle more they will be brought
around to St. Johns. In the meantime
the work at the site is being brought to
a close, and everything in connection
with the structure (Is progressing satis
