Phone Main 1341 32 N; FRONT STREET Heavy: Rains Free Masses 6ft Earth on Morrison Street and Tanner Creek Sewer Is Ruined No Permanent Repairs -for Weeks. The heavy rains of the past week bave caused a number of bis; slides In the vicinity of Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Alder and Morrison streets and the. large Tan ner creek sewer was broken as if it had been an eggshell. The . nlled-ln earth has settled and slid in a dozen places and a tremendous amount of trouble was caused before the swollen flood of sewer water could .be diverted back Into the regular channel. .Owing to the unusual conditions per manent repairs cannot be made at pres ent and the authorities will have to wait until more settled weather. ' There' Is now a deep hole from the surface of the ground to- the -line of. broken sewer, -a distance - of 45 feet, at. the- bottom' of which the sewer water charges through like a miniature river. The contents have been Increased by the rains and the discharge is about double that under normal conditions. For a block or two immediately . sur rounding these slides the dilapidated elevated, roadways have long outlived their usefulness and are closed to travel. At pvesent they, have fallen in many, places from their own weight1 and the sliding earth is further increasing the demolition. Nearly all of the adjoining streets are paved and it la the desire to complete, a permanent fill this summer ana pave the intersecting tnorougnrares. Several of the residence )n the neigh borhood are. located very close to the slides, but no danger is apprehended by the authorities who have looked into the situation. It is not thought the moving earth will extend to the foundation of these buildings. . -i "We will make the necessary repairs as- soon as the weather i permits," ex plained City. Engineer Elliott "At pres ent the flow of sewer water has been confined so that it continues on down the conduit and there is no danger of it flooding the. district. A temporary bulk head will keep the dirt from falling. in the aperture and I think the entire dls trict can be permanently Improved after the spring freshets. , . COURT TO DECIDE WHO DIED FIRST An Interpleader has been filed in the state circuit court by the Modern Wood men of America,.. against Ernest Voos, as administrator of the estate of Emma Hanby, and ' others, which brings a be fore that tribunal the same interesting point that has -led to international legal complications following the death of the multi-millionaire, Charles t fair, and his wife, killed in France by . . an automobile accident. The question now being fought out in court, on which mil lions or aoiiara is at staice, is wnetner Fair or his wife died first The Wood men fear to pay a beneficiary certificate because they, do not know whether Henry Hanby, or bis wife, died first Payment the order fears, .may lead to suits being brought against it by other claimants. Henry Hanby was a member of the Modern Woodmen, and the holder of a beneficiary certificate in the amount of $3,000. The certificate . provided 'that In the event of bis death the money .should be paid to his wife.. but that if she should die before she received the money it . was "to go to her heirs. Both Hanby and bis wife were killed during the flood occurring at Heppner, Or., - on June 14. 103. - Which died first Is a question. . ' . "" ; Those who claim an Interest in the estate are Mrs. Annie Stewart, Mrs. Nellie P. Burch, Sadie Thomas, Ross Thomas. Jessie E. Kirk, Lydia KtrK, Nellie Kirk and Willie Kirk. The fra ternal and insurance organisation ad mits' its financial liability, but in order to avoid danger of suits being brought by the various claimants, asks the court to determine whether Hanby or hia wife died first and which of the claimants is entitled to the money. SAYS DECENT JAIL IS A NECESSITY "If cleanliness is next to godliness, the city Jail is very near a warm place not mentioned in terrestrial geography," remarked Municipal Judge Hogue this morning. "The Portland Jail is not only a disgrace, but It is an outrage." Judge Hogue stated that he wished a few Portland cttisens who were lnterest ed.in decent prisons would make a abort visit to the city Jail. Mr. Hogue is of the opinion that a short visit would be enough to convince one that the looal lockup is a perfect den. "I . am sure," continued Mr. Hogue, "that if the people of Portland would show an Interest in the condition 'of the Jail, and if a few of them would visit it, there would such a 'cry go up from the -citizens that the council would be compelled to do something to remedy affairs. At the present time there is no place in the. local Jail where a man can take a bath. Often men whose clothing and hair are full of creeping, crawling things are arrested and later sentenced to & term in JalL Here they are housed up In a narrow, foul-smell ing place with a bunch of other prison ers, some of whom like to keep clean If possible. - "If nothing better could .... be done, enough money should be appropriated to fix up a room where the hose could be turned onto a man whose filth hi almost unbearable. But a bathtub would not bankrupt the city, If placed where it oould be used by city prisoners. "Should' any one wish to visit the home of the city's prisoners, 1 will see that they are given permission to not only see for themselves, but to also smell for themselves.. "Many men who have been arrested for drunkenness or on some other slight charge, and who are clean citizens, if a bit noisy at times, are forced to rub up against others to whom dirt and disease are agreeable. . "Any citizen of Portland who once visits the den on the corner of Second and Oak atreots where city priaoners are kept will always feel, in a meaaura ashamed of the municipality until the pest Is remedied." BIBLE ENTHUSIAST STEALS A Pretending to be trying to select a Bible for bis aged mother, an unknown thief In a downtown department store stole a pocketbook containing nearly $10. The purse belonged to Mrs. K. Ormsbee, a clerk ln.the book department of the store, and bad been placed under a shelf nea the holy tomes. One afternoon not. long ago when bus iness In the book department of the store was anything but brisk, a stranger sauntered along, walked up and down past the volumes a few times and then quickly passed the place where the pock etbook bad been put. The stranger, who was a young man with a sheepish look, then strode over near the Bibles and began to examine them. Mrs. Ormsbee assisted him to inspect the various edl- TXS T. IS. ft A.

The Young Men's Christian association of North America have interests in Japan which make them deeply concerned in watching the progress of .' the war and the. possible later invasion of Japan. There are now six American secretaries in Japan.' Oalen M. Fisher of California Is national general secretary and 1 VY- W. Helm of Indiana national secretary for the city work; O. 8. Phelps of Michigan is sec retary at Kioto, George . Oleaaon of Massachusetts is secretary at Osaka, and C. V. Hibbard of Wisconsin is student secretary at Toklo. There are . also 18 instructors In the government schools of Japan which were selected and secured at the requeat of the Japanese government from among the college association leaders of North America by Mr. Fisher. These men, while In the employment of the govern ment as teachers, are conducting Bible classes In their own homes and are vol unteer leaders In. the many university, oollege and city associations of the coun try. Many of the officers of the, associa tion have been educated in America, and are among the national leaders of Japan. The late M.,Kataoka, president of the lower house 'Of parliament was presi dent bf the association ' at Toklo. . In the board .of directors of the Kioto as sociation are Included a major of the army, a professor In the government col lege, a member of the city council,1 an owner of electrical railways, and mer chants and prominent Japanese ' mer chants. The hero of the' naval battle at Chemulpo, Rear-Admiral Uriu, was trained at the United States naval acad emy at Annapolis, and during two .years was president of the Young Men's Christian association. . --r,' - ' Journal friends and readers, when traveling on trains to and from Port land, should ask news agents for The Journal and insist upon being supplied with thia paper, renortine? all failures in obtaining it to the office of publication, fddresiin Zb Journal.

Suddenly she thought of her purse, and looking in the. place where she had placed it, found that It wa gone. So was the young man who' wanted a Bible. Two days later the purse was returned to the store, It being simply addressed to "A Clerk." The three J-cent stamps had been Used to pay the postage. The money bad been removed.
