' Tired of work and adjourned with quantity pf business , un; , touched.- , -' Had the council passed' the under ground wire ordinance put up to it yes terday afternoon the electric companies -would have been exceedingly glad, for under its provisions there would be very little change in existing conditions. It was W. R. Roberts, deputy fire marshal, who spoiled what waa evident ly a clever scheme. He asked permla- I slon to speak and did So with a yen-' gesnce. ' "This ordinance exempts street light and railway power wires," said he. "There's about 4,000 volts running loose from those wires now. Why should they be exempt? The fire limits - are from ailssa to Columbia, but this has a district from Madison to Glisan, which would exclude the city -balloon whose wirtng-the-chlcf and 1 have submitted a report." Bennett said it was apparent this measure would defest the purpose of the underground wire .movement- " ' Masters had previously moved that the ordinance be passed without ' read ing, "as it had bea taken up and thor oughly discussed by the street commit tee." There waa no second. ' . Oray Bubmlta Amendment. dray submitted sn amendment pro viding thatJthe measure should not ap ply to companies holding franchises at present. He said this wss to give "companies having priority of franchise priority- of right of way." : The .'councilman' -didn't understand what that . meant, and' Roberts was asked if the superintendent of the fire alarm system had .approved the ordl oance t -. .-.- v - "He "never saw it until yesterday noon, he replied. It was so. evident' that the scheme to force through - an - ordinance openly friendly - to the- electric companies had been exposed that it went back to the street committer Chetrman .Vanghn of that committee asked him if the street light wires were exempt from the ordinance. He had to admit that he didn't know, so it wss evident that the street committee didn't Itnqw any too -much about the measure. " Death to Chinese Ola Mills. The license, of five Chinese gin mills on Second street were ordered revoked and the unexpired license fees returned. The doors of these places will be closed at once.' Thla la the tardy finale of the crusade against Chinese gin. A large committee from the East Side Business Men's association pleaded that the fill on East Stark from East Wster to East Seventh be made forth with, notwithstanding the protest of C V.

CRITICISES DEVLIN Mayor Xne Again Attacks Auditor's - Method of Xeeplag- Books. , Mayor I-ane at noon todsy completed his Investigation Into the validity of a Claim for 112ft alleged to be due Roth child Bros., wholesale liquor dealers, for an unexpired license. ' The result of his scrutiny directly contradicts the statement made ' before the council -yesterday by Councilman Msstere. .. '.,. In a letter to the council the mayor called attention to the clslm which had been put in in the name of Carroll Rob inson, speaking particularly of its ex treme Irregularity. Masters said that the Judiciary com mittee, of which he Is chairman,- had recommended the payment as a power of attorney from : Robinson, giving Rotbojilld Bros, the right to receive the money, had It been presented to IL The mayor holds up this Instance to prove his statement concerning the methods of keeping the city's books. In a letter to the council he declared It is Impossible to learn whether the city has been robbed or . not. He severely criticised City Auditor' Devlin's depart ment. Masters waa evidently In error whan he marie his talk to the council. Ac cording to the documents now la . the mayor's desk, Rothchlld Bros, asked that the money be paid back to them, as Robinson, their agent, had left the city.-and. the saloon temporarily closed. on November the clslm was recom mended for payment by the Judiciary committee and on November 7 Its re port was adopted by the council. Masters plainly said the committee had Robinson's power of attorney be fore It at that time. .But according to the paper filed with the auditor, Robin son did not. sign the power of attorney until November 13, six days after the council had ordered the payment of the tilt to' Rothchlld Bros. The voucher la In blank and there Is not a line .on It to enow why the. claim- ehould be paid, although all the papers pertaining to tne matter are clinched toeether. . "That's simply tffce- Instance of what I've ' been saying," cried Mayor Lane when he had received the power of at torney from the , auditor's office; and given a receipt ror it. - - . . .

It was referred to the spe cial committee appointed to Investi gate both reports. Mr. Devlin says the mayor la making the chargee against his department for political effect. "They are vicious and untruthful, and by hla own admission to the council he doesn't know anything more about accounting " than to say It waan't necessary for the experts to count the cash In the treasurers vaults. said he this morning. ,"A child might aa well say that the city had been robbed or tioo.ooo." "I'm doing It for self-preservation, as I have to sign all the warrants and am held personally responsible," said the mayor. In the first report made by Clark and Buchanan there was a paragraph com mending the eudltor'e office. Mr. Dev lin saye Clark told him the mayor or dered this stricken out, and 1n "the final report filed with the mayor and by him with the council It doea not appear. 'I told Clark that his contract did nor. call for any report on an official, said Msyor Lane today. "He had filed his first report with the sudltor, then with me. snd that was not right, as I had ordered the Investigation. I hsve noth Ing personally, against Mr. Devlin." - GRANTS FRANCHISE Oeneral Else trio Company Oets One to Construct Steam Xeattaf Ptaat.1 ' One of the most valuable franchises granted by the council for several weeks was that passed yesterday giving to tho Portland General Electrlo com pay the right to construct and main tain a central steam heating plant and lay heating condulte throughout the city. For thle the city Is ta receive 11,000 a year for the flrstf Ive yeare snd per cent of the gross earnings during the remaining 20 years of the life of the franchise. This ordinance made Its appearance soon after the M. C. Banfleld franchise for the eame thing had been turned down. It la believed that the franchise granted yesterday is the Banfleld meas ure under snother name. If thle Is the esse,, the council has handed a neat bouquet both to the elec trical combine and the slabwood trust. The electrlo company agrees to ex pend 1200,000 on Its plant and pipes. The council refurred to the Judiciary committee Mayor, Lane's letter asking for an expression of ths attitude of the council on the Fourth street franchise.
