Other Favorable Changes. Another minor change auggested In the civil sei-l.-o. regulations Is in re gard to the appointment of stenogra phers In the city attorney's office. Such positions are of confidential nature. f 3 t.i iv vl. k -.y -v f A. .

What will perhaps prove the greatest tnsk to he performed by tha revision committee will be the elimination of tho phrase, ' Except as hereinafter provld- eii. i m apparently Innocent collec tion of four words has caused more trou ble, occasioned more and greater delays in the administration or business and caused more oplnlona from the city t torney's office than any other provision of the charter. It looms large and ominous upon nearly every page nnd whenever It appears the seeker after light upon the subject is compelled o read the Test of the charter to find out what Is "hereinafter provided." MOTHER DECLARES FATHER BEAT CHILD WITH INHUMAN CRUELTY Charging that J. N. Welter welted 'tila child with a strap so that great fclue marks stood out on the flesh for two weeks, and that he threatened to kill her If she Interfered, Mrs. Eliza beth. Welter has started a suit for di vorce In the circuit court. The child alleged to have been thus cruelly beaten ii t boy, 6 years of age. ' Mrs. Welter says that for a long time she haa been In constant dread for herself and tha children, because War husband would get drunk and then come horhe and abuse his familv. fche has two children by a former mar riage and these have also been abused by Welter, she asserts. She Bays she has endured this treatment for six years, hoping for Improvement In her husband's conduct. 8he was married In Portland 1n 1S9S. Mrs. Margaret Weldmann has begun suit for freedom from Rudolph Weld mann, whom she married tn Salem In ISfM. She alleges that he struck her ' with the rung of a chair In November, liiOfl, that he called her ciazy and ap plied bad names, and that In June, 1907, he left her. On the ground nf desertion; James A. f'nrter has sued for divorce from Ro berta M. Carter. Thev were married hi Marys-vllle, Cal., In 1901, and he al leges that she left him on April 13 "The Rose That Made Portland Fa mous" float, which took first prize In the Rose Festival, was recently repro duced at Nevada City, Cal.. and was again awarded first prize. In this case, $100. The way in which It happened Is this. Miss Madeline Moore, niece of Mf. W. C. Moore, of 895 Kaat Couch street, sent the souvenir book of the Rose Festival home, to a friend, in Nevada City. Cal When the Fourth of July pageant was planned, Mrs. Frank Kendrlck of that city under took the designing and superMending of the firemen's float for the parade, and aelected from the Portland souyjintrj book this deslsn. She made the gor- -geous rose which surmounts the float 1 of red satin, and trimmed the float with red roses, such as the mining town afforded. Mrs. Kendrlc.k's efforts were rewarded by having her float, which bore Its true designation, "The Rose That Made Portland Famous," irlyen J first prize. So to little Miss Madeline, who sent the book to Nevada City, to Mrs, Ken drlck. who planned the float, and to the I'nmnitllfin which A rrfl n irun tht It should give Portland's Rose Festival I a boost, thanks are due, and Incident- ' ally, the designer of tha original float which has been so successful, should feel gratified. Although considerably more than a month haa passed alnce the aroh of wel come at Sixth and Jloyt streets was supposed to have been accepted by tha city It has not been accepted, and the laborers and merchants who supplied labor and material for the arch are anxiously waiting for their money. It Is probable they will have to wait for a considerable length of time. The council can not accept the arch because It Is not comnleted. 1 he street committee of the cltv executive board can make no recommendations on the claims that have been riled against the urch because It can not act Under the charter until tho arch la accepted. Contractor Gordon la the man to whom the otty la looking forward to for relief from the embarrassing position. If Gordon should complete the work, and come to the cltv and ask that the arch be accepted, action could he taken toward settling tho pending claims. Hut It la not expected that the contractor will make audi a foolish move, and un less the executive board reca't- the claims and payment for the arch from the atreet committee and refers them back to the council so tliey can be acted upon, or declares the bonds supplied by Gordon forfaited,, the claimants can ex pect no reiier. In the meantime tha laborers and others who have claims are suffering beoause of tha dilatory tactics of the city , officials and are asking that steps De taken to rive; mem uieir money, One of the4 men who worked on the arch Is Alexander Noble.- a carpenter, Noble put Is 18 days on the arch for Contractor Gordon, out naa noi Dean paid for his work up to the present time. And he needs money, having bor rowed enough to pay his board and room while working on the structure that Is Intended to bid strangers and new arrivals welcome to the city. Noble says that so Tar as na. Knows only one of the 20 or mora mechanics who worked on tha arch haa been paid, and that this man got only give dollars, Thla money was secured from Gordon during the early part of the work. No ble haa soma $54 coming- to him for-his work, and he knows where he can put every one, aa he went in debt while working on the arch. . "It seems to ma that the elty should do something toward having this mat ter settled." said Noble thla morning. "Personally, I seed my money, and since we have dono the work tt appears we are entitled to It. Tho arch Is there. Mayor Lane assured me that whenever the arch Is accepted he will see that we, the mechanics, will get our money first. But when will the arch be accepted?"
