On avery hand today people of Tort

whether they would prefer to. have

as according to the prevailing custom.
. favor Meter System.
. ; Those who have Investigated the me
ter question say that the sentiment of
the people generally is strongly in ia
vor of the Installation of meters. Water
' users generally, among tha rank and
- ' file of the cltlxenahlp, are back of the
meter and believe that it is tne only
fair, and just solution of tha water
service Question.
Jt la Dolnted out that nearly all of tha
.wealthy residents of the city have their
residences equipped with meters in
. order that they shall pay for what they
is and not according to the number or
later futures they may have in their
houses, -
1 It is pointed out again that 'the In
f stallation of the meter stops waste,
( -prevents carelessness in-the use ofiwa-
ter and thereby "conserves the supply.
It is called to mind that- men stationed
at the reservoirs say it Is possible to

. Housewives do not JeavaTor. a shoo-

The' landlords and the , tenants of
apartment houses throughout the city,
; and 1n residences generally, desire the
installation of meters. They contend
that it is not fair or just for two. peo
ple living in one flat to pay. the-same
' amount for ..the water the v use as - is
. paid pv six people living in tne next
list. ; ' i'. - ' :
Many Arguments Presented.
These and many more arguments are
being raised by those , in. favor or the
, meter system to show-that the fair way
to the people of the city In their use of
water, would be to measure It out to
ttiem and let them pay according to the
consumption.
. The water board yesterday went on
record against the further Increase of
me metered district or tne city. The
residents or ; the city who have heen
.-clamoring for meters at their places of
. resilience ana ousiness are now turn
ing, their attention to other means of
forcing meter Installation. It is prob-
oi'ie mat; oeimiie steps will be taken
within a few days to start a pro-meter
cm m;,algn, which will override the pro
hibition of the water board.
FORSAKES FARM TO
EDUCATE CHILDREN
Dayton, Wash., Sept 21. Henry
- James, a farmer living six miles north
of Dayton, faces the alternative of tnov
; ing his family to town or letting his
... children grow up without an education,
with the opening of schools of the
county. Mr. James finds that ho ih
only resident in his district having chil-j
-urcir j Knom age. jne Duying up or
small farms in-he district by largo
. land owners has caused a depopulation
of the district, forcing Mr. James lit
erally from the farm. He is a pro
gressive American- and -will move to
...'Dayton In order to school his children.
Alarming ieereBses In school atten-
s. dence Is noted In other districts of this
county, a condition which is duplicated
in other agricultural communities of
the Inland Empire. The school census
or this county this year shows a decided
j Kiting on over tne previous year.

"I don't know." said Holland. "Do I

To allow the youths to be interviewed

waa continued until Thursday at J
o'clock In the afternoon.
Affording L two days' sensation, W. M.
Ladd'a big touring car, in which Dolly

Anna Mever and Holland and Robertson
were riding, plunged over an embank
ment at the gravel bit turn on the
G res ham road Sunday morning and tur
ned. Mrs. Ferrers was killed. Escap
ing Injury the others were arrested,
the e-lrla as witnesses and ths youths on
charges of manslaughter.
And then the whole tale came oat.
Deavlng Portland about 11 o'clock, the
party took the bl Ladd machine, of
which Holland is the hired driver, and
went to the Twelve-Mile house. Speed
ing from the Inn about 2 o'clock, Rob
ertson was driving the machine.
Skidding around ths gravel nit turn,
the heavy machine slipped off the road
and toppled oyer a low embankment
Mrs. Ferrera. divorced wife of Attor
ney Albert B. Ferrera waa thrown head

Miraculously, the five escaped death
or injury. Shaken and frightened. Rob

distance away. Deputy Coroner J. J.

were telephoned. Arrests followed.
Today all of the five are occupying

Evidence at Znqnest
Evidence against. Robertson and Hnll-
nd was vitally strengthened at the In
quest which was held about 6 o'clock
ast night That Robertson was under
the influence of liquor when the party
in notorious iweive Mile house,
was shown.
"Both Robertson and Ifnllnnrf hn1 nev.
eral drinks at the bar and with myself,
my sisters and Dollv. Ferrera t th
Twelve Mile house," testified Eva Meyer
at tha inquest. "He wjts drunk."
-Harry Bulger, deputy Sheriff, one of
the arresting officers, averred, that two
hours after the accident, when he met
the chauffeurs, he noticed evidences of
intoxication.
This was the verdict of the coroner's
jury:
"In. the minds of this Jury, the eald
Dolly Ferrera-Martlni came to Jier death
through the careless driving of one John
Robertson and' we respectfully recom
mend that a further investigatibn of

made. When the investigating body

Says, They Drank Coffee.
Frei Merrill denies "that any member
of the party of joy riders was given
anything to drink at the Twerve Mile
house except coffee after 1 o'clock on
the night Mrs. Dolly Ferrera was killed.
These parties sat down to ui

clined an invitation from Mayor Taylor

In replying to Mayor Taylor's invita

"Until President Taft changes his at-

the organizations of labor have to deal,
I shalt not feel it consistent with my
principles to accept any invitation to

is received as the headof the national

"President Taft has not investigated
the wrongs imposed upon labor as he
snouia Derore assuming to speak wirn
authority on how to remedy conditions.
He does not know, and he certainly can
not learn, the needs of labor until he
tries to look sympathetically at our
wants. As a labor official and a union
