Police Department Deter mined to Compel Automo bile Drivers to Abide by Provisions of Speed Ordi nance. t A determined effort Is being made by the police department to compel auto mobile drivers of the sitr.. strictly to abide by the prorlslona, of the aped ordinance and the patrolmen have re ceived apeclflo orders to arreat any and all nersons running their cars at a greater rate of speed than provided by law A ban has also been placed on thoss convivial and bibulous spirits who are wont to make the eariy morning nours hideous with their drunken revels In itomoblles.

Chief Qrltsmucher Issued the follow ing order last night relative to these matters and announces that he expects all members of the pdllce department to strictly obey his commands: "Instruct the officers of your reliefs to give better attention to the automo biles around the city and on public roads exceeding the speed limit Much complaint Is heard dally about this practice. Verr few cases of this kind are reported by the pyjlce and hardly any arrests are made for such viola tions, which loo'.:s as though the offi cers do not give this matter very much attention and thereby encourage this outrage of public safety.

The second night relief of ficers should give this matter particu lar attention and enforce the after hours and disorderly conduot ordlnancea in such cases. "Further Instruct the officers to give attention also to the reckless riders, especially messengers, racing around the atreets at a anngerous speed, ine officers must be diligent in these mat ters and arrest all persons guilty of these offenses and thereby contribute to the safei" of the public on the streets or this city. TfiYlNGlOSTOP BRAF1HARIHGS Petitions for Writ of Prohi bition in Abbott and Brobeck Cases. Trouble Is brewing in the city ror. ernmant and a big battle Is imminent all because the executive board want the heating franchise of the Portland General Electrlo company revoked for not beginning work within alx months after ha franchise had been passed. Mayor Lne is anxious to see the coun ell compel the electrlo company to se cure a new ordinance better safeguard Ing the city's interests and in this feel ing ha Is backed up by a majority of tne members of the executive board. The oompany maintains that it has fol lowed out the terms of the franchise by putting In two of the five boilers needed in the distributing station at the corner or eeventn ana Alder atreets and is prepared to test the legality of the uvaru a acuon. Board Is Determined. When the council passed the ordln anoe granting the Portland General Electrlo company a franchise to heat me ousiness portion or Portland through an underground system of steam pipes. t mayor a veto, me mayor ana members of the executive board deter mined to see that the terma were com plied with In every respect The or dinance provided that wltnln six months after the pasaage of the ordinance work was to commence and was to be com pleted within two years of ths date of passage. The ordinance was passed finally on December 6, 1906, and on July SI. 1907, nearly two months after the reaulred date, the electrlo company filed lta plats, maps and plans with the board. The company then announced that It was ready to begin tearing up the streets for the oondults at once and selected the corner of Fourth and Washington streets as the place of beginning. The pipes will continue up Fourth street to Alder, thenoe up Alder to Park and down Park to a point half way between Washington and Stark. The franchise granted the electric company gave them permission to construct their system in a district extending from the Willamette CLAIM GRAXD JURY NOT A VALID BODY river back to Twelfth street and from Gllsan to Taylor street. City Hot Protected. Mayor Lane says that the franchise granted to the Portland General Electric company does not safeguard the Interests-of the city as It should. Any ex tension of time the company might ask for will be opposed. It is thought, by ths supporter of ths mayor In the council and it is now believed that a new franchise will be necessary before work can be proceed ea wun. Those opposed to the franchise In Its nraaant form seam determined to see areata of the city are safe ly guarded if another franchise is granted and it is likely that some fu ture council meeting will be the scene of considerable skirmishing between the factions that are aure to align mem selves with and against the adminis tration. . Members of the executive board are known to look with disfavor on me continual tearing ap of the city's streets. The late Henry W. Goode, the former president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, sug gested a plan by which the successive tearing up of streets might be elimin ated. Mr. Goode expressed a desire to make the street excavations sufficient ly large to hold both tne steam heating pipes and the electrlo wires, intending to supplant the aerial lines with an underground system. Franchises for both are in the hands of the general electric company but since Mr. Goode's death little it seems, baa been made of the suggestion. Jossely Disagrees. President B. F. Josselyn of the Port land Railway, Light 4 Power company, stated yesterday that he could not aee how the terma of the ordinance hail been violated In view of the fact that work had been started on the plant by the installation of two boilers in the heat distributing station at the corner of Seventh and Alder streets. He as serts that the plan of heating was a new one and time was required to in vestigate the most approved system and purchase the machinery, a portion of which, he states, la now on the ground. "we intended to rush the work along so that we could be heating rooms and offlcea by winter," aald Mr. Josselyn, but this sudden interruption, if It la prolonged. Is going to make our plans mposslble. we are being depended upon for heat by many people this winter snd this action pf the executive board will cause great Inconvenience." Should the legality of the executive board's action in recommending the va cation of the franchise be questioned It will undoubtedly be made on the point that the work was started within the required time when the boilers were Installed In the districting station.

Clothes should not be boiled unless one has good, clear water for the purpose any Iron In the water will cause yellow, ness. Colored clothes of course should not be boned. After boiling the clothes should be thoroughly rlnsel in one or more waters and may be blued. Most of the liquid blues contain Prussian blue an Iron compound, which mav In time a use spots of iron rust If the soap is noi always morougniy rinsed out oi tne garment, sail bluing should be tied in a cloth and stirred about In a dish of hot water, then poured into the tub and stirred continually while using to freveni spots ana streaks settling in he clothes. White clothes should be hung- out In the air and sunshine wherever possible and colored clothes dried In the shade. Any stains on articles should be re moved before washing; if possible while fresh; soap sets many stains. Fruit, tea, coffee and cocoa stains may be re moved by pouring on boiling water, bet ter poured from some height so the water will fall with more force; If the stains have become dried in a little powdered borax sprinkled on the soot. dampened with cold water, and left a few minutes before usinar the hot water will aid In the removal of the coloring matter. - a- Pieces to be starched may be either dried first or starched before drying. If they are wanted very stiff they should be dried first, as moisture in the cloth not only dilutes the starch, but j prevents It from penetrating well. Raw and boiled starch are both used, the raw starch only for articles that re quire to be made very stiff, as collars and cuffs. Different brands of starch vary in stiffening power, so one cannot give exact directions, but the following for mulae by Miss Parloa are a good guide for the inexperienced: No. 1 For collars and cuffs of shirt waists, etc., use 1 tablespoonful of starch, 2 tablespoonfuls Of cold water, H pint of bollina- water. ' No. 2 For white skirts and other ar ticles that should be fairly stiff the same rule as No. 1 except that 3 gills of boiling water are used to 1 table- spoonful of starch. No. 3 For lawn and gingham dresses, lingerie waists, etc., the same as No. 1, using- 1 pint of boiling- water. To make the starch mix the dry starch with cold water, pour on the boiling water gradually, stirring all the time, boll 10 minutes, stirring contin ually. It Is Important that the starch be well boiled, otherwise it is apt to stick in ironing and will give muslins a thick papery look rather than a fresh, new appearance. A little bluing- may be added to the starch and a bit of paraffin or sperm candle in the proportion of a piece about the else of a pea to a pint of starch, dissolved in the starch when It begins to boil, will make the starched articles Iron more easily. The starch must be well rubbed in Clapping 'the goods between the hands to make it penetrate. After starching the clothes, dry thor oughly, then sprinkle well, starched ar ticles must be made very damp, but not wet: if too wet they will stick to the Iron, Then roll UghUy, wraa la k clean, ANC1SCT Seven entire carloads of America's best known and choicest pianos to be sacrificed here 7 Cents on the Ddfer POPULAR MAKES OF THOROUGHLY ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY At 5 Sale Opens at 9 A.

First came the strikes and riots of May and early June, paralyzing business for weeks. Then the un fortunate second great fire on Van Ness avenue came, which caused the insurance companies to cancel the greater part of the policies on stock contained in temporary buildings. Confronted first byrthe inability to transact business and then unable to secure the necessary insurance protection, it became imperative to find an immediate outlet for a large number of pianos contracted for from various high grade American makers. Seven carloads of them were therefore diverted to Portland 117 pianos choice and fresh and splendid. We've undertaken to sell them. We must do so within the next ten days. Profit-making is out of the ques tion in such an undertaking, hence the prices 57 cents on the dollar. New $200 pianos are now $114, $300 means now $171, $400 is $228. Remember, we guarantee the price and value of each piano as well as durability and quality. Terms really should be all cash, but we'll say half cash now and balance within a year, if more convenient. We'll not split hairs over that part of it. The main thing is to sell these pianos, to sell them quickly, and with the least interference with our regular work.
