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

Inasmuch aa tha committee on Judi
ciary and elections consists of three

Cellars are of the majority party. It Is,
likely the ordinance recalling tne sun

at the St. Patrick's day meeting held in
the Armory last night. 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

T JAXfiB M. OOVjTOUT.
With the coming to anchor In "Magda
lena bay of tha Atlantic fleet a eroat
cruise was ended.
Here is the problem: Sixteen battle
ships of five classes and as many sizes,
speeds and equipments were suddenly
called upon to get ready for sea.
To take this fleet around were soma
hundreds of officers, young and old,
experienced and otherwise, and some
ij.uu-i men, or wnom haTf probably had
ictcr ut-iuie oeen 10 sea.
upon the bridges of these ships were
the scoree of young offlcera who had to

might mean the last of a ship, his fleet
or his. country's prestige
The passage of the Magellan straits,
of the perils of 'which so much has been
said, was made by the fleet at regula
tion rpeed at regulation intervals.
The worst part of the passage, mak

made at night in the usual fnriiinr

fellow employe, George Wlshart, at 611
Rodney avenue. When Wlshart awoke
thla morning he found a note on the
bureau, and upon making an Investiga
tion discovered Nestle's dead body on
the floor of the hallway outside the
room. The note was as follows;
Good-bye. George. I wish you good
luck. Tell father I am tined or living
like a dog and being kicked around
every place I go. Good-byo. Twelve
o'clock.
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. Timely die
coverv and heroic treatment By tha at
tending physician saved his life In that
Instance.
Coroner Flnley waa notified of
Nestle's death and after making an In
vestlaation took charge of the body. H
has not yet decided whether it will be
necessary to hold an inquest.

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. , ,
