The result will be that business of the city will be delayed to satisfy the political fight started against tha mayor. The committee to be appointed bv the majority party will either have to pnn. cur Jn the reports of the franchise com mittee appointed by the mayor or rec ommend a report of Ita own. This In Iteeif would seem nrniwr In tha unlnlti. ated. but those who Tisve watched the worklnas of the majority party know thai the report will be only along the llnee of the fight Inaugurated against the Pity's executive. - Mayor Lane's action In appointing tha committee only serves to draw tha fighting line between the warring fac tions more clearly, and It la taken as an Indication that the mayor la mora than ready to slash back at his oppon ents wherever they opn themselves t attack. Just what will ba the outcome of tha present struggle, or when It will cease, Is a matter of Speculation. The crisis Is expected at the next council meeting. but a line will be obtained When the committee on Judiciary and election! merta Monday to consider the ordinance rescinding the appropriation of $5,000 to be used bv the subway committee of which Mayor Lane is a member. Tha ordinance alao provides for the recall of the committee. If the committee takes up the meaaura and disposes of It by making a recommendation to the council, the affair can be expected to be thrashed out before the council next week. v Inasmuch aa tha committee on Judi ciary and elections consists of three members, two of whom Bennett and Cellars are of the majority party. It Is, likely the ordinance recalling tne sun war committee will be debated upon but little in tha committee. If the meas ure goes to the council next week, fire works enn ri looked for, becsuse tha members of the majority have announced that they are "after'the mayor."

Nearly every seat in tne auditorium was taken by some loyal irishman or Irishwoman and for the one night In the year they devoted themselves to the traditions of their native land. The music for the most part haunt ing oia roue-songs or the celts, with their Imaginative music and words was exceptionally well sung, and the address of the evening, made by Father Peter C. Yorke of San Francisco, was received with enthusiasm. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, under whose direction the affair was carried out, arranged every detail care fully, and the program was a most In teresting and inspiring one. The frfah and American flaps were used as decorations, while shamrocks and green ribbon were everywhere. Dom J. Zan nana; "Sweet Eileen Aroon." with Professor J. Hutchison as accompanist. Miss Kathleen Lawler sang "Klllarney," and Frank D. Hen nessy "Barnev From Sweet Klllarney," with Miss Helen Llj?htner as accom panist. The Melsterslngers quartet sang "An Old Irish Folk-Sonjr" and "Oft in the Stilly Night.". Mrs. Walter Reed sang the favorite "Kathleen Mavour neen." i Father Yorke was introduced by Arch bishop Christie. The speaker took as his topic "St. Patrick." He said that the influence of St. Tntrlck and the Irish church waa one of the niont po tent for good In the history of the world. St. Patrick came at tho time when he . waa needed most, and whon his personality and his Idealism had the most effect on the rest of Europe. Ire land atood alone at that time as a Christian nation. The rest of Europe was In darkness, and the men of Eu rope ware without civilisation or Chris tianity or other refining Influences. It was the church of Ireland and the Deo- ple of Ireland who brought Europe out or tne aarx ages. Speaking or America and American politics. Father Yorke said that the creat trouble was that the movements of today were not backed by religious faith and belief. No movement, he said, could hope to succeed and nave lasting rood results unless It was companled by tha desire to betteijlhe people and tha country. A political movement -without the aid ot unnstian ity was of little consequence. Representatives from every manufac turing establishment in South Portland appeared before the Oregon Railroad commission in the Chamber of Com merce yesterday and testified for the complainant In the suit to compel the Southern Pacific to allow the United Railways company to connect Its track with that of the Yamhill division, at Co lumbia and Water streets. Tho fcult was brought by li South Portland manufacturers who are seek ing a direct outlet to the terminal grounds for the various industries lo cated along the Southern Pacific line soutn or Lincoln street. All the wit neiaes that were on 'the stand yester day testified to the benefits that would come ro Houtn Portland industries by connecting the tracks of the two sys tems. The reasons advanced were a direct connection with the terminal grounds, more prompt delivery of cars, saving of time In delivering freight to Portland customers and tha nhiiltv ship products throughout the state at less expense than the Southern Pac flc now exacts cmr Roundabout Haul.

Nestle waa 20 years old.- His father, to whom he refers in his message of farewell, lives at Woodmere station on the Mount Scott carllne. The young man's frlenda and acquaintances agree In saying he was 6f a morose tempera ment and waa given to looking on life through pessimistic eyes. He labored constantly under the hallucination that evory man's hand was against him and that profesaed friends were In truth hla secret enemies". Nestle had frequently announced hla intention of taking his own life, and once, about six months aao. attempted self-destruction by taking a dose of chloroform and then turning on the gas in his sleeping apartment.

HOH-SUPPORT CASES TO CIRCUIT COURT Hereafter It la probable that at least a portion of the non-support cases brought against neglectful hflsbanda will ba tried In the circuit court Here tofore Judge Webster has been hearing all such cages In the county court, but at his suggestion the distrlot attorney's office a few daya ago filed a caae In the circuit court, wnicn naa concurrent Ju risdiction with the county court In the matter. , Judge Webster thla morning explained that he la not trying to shirk work. He Is the author of the non-support law, and In the act as originally drawn Ju risdiction in such cases was oonferred on tbe circuit courts exclusively. Thla waa objected to by members of the leg islature from the less populous counties, where the circuit court la In aession for comparatively a short -time durlnr the Mnsonyea.r-,1an.1 where great rrardship might to stay In Jail while awaiting trial -In the circuit court. For this reason the county court waa given the right to try tha cases. Another reason why auoh eaeea ahonld be tried in the circuit oourt. Judge Web ster says. Is because he frequently haa personal knowledge of cases where the law Is or should be Invoked, because 'of hla connection with the county relief work In an official way. Thla aome tlmea places him In a difficult position, as he cannot advlaa the bringing of a non-support action In a case where he muat later alt aa Judge. , As the matter stands, the district at torney mav file cases under tha nnn. support law in either the countv or cir cuit court. In the future all or a por tion oi ineie cases win nnunriasa ntt'i ineir way to tne nigner court. , , CANDIDATES DODGE STATEMENT NO. 1 n.nrrn W. Hblcomb and George W.
