Even the amendment approved by tin

Very: probable that the committee of 15

lor i permanent Improvement districts
which will eliminate tne most ohlecilon-

j can the chief be held responsible for
the elimination of the criminal element
from the city and by having the power

branch of government.
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.

Police reatnres.
One of these Is the apnolrtme'nt of
the city detectives by the chief of police

What will perhaps prove the greatest

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

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?"
