i History repeated Itself. hlu morning
hen the city council made still another
: attempt to pan an ordinance reforming
tyie liquor traffic So dlssrusted wu
Councilman Lombard, who has. worked
early and lite on the . special committee
which drafted the ordinance submitted
j to the council today; that he declared the
only way to 'secure remedial legislation
Is to resort to the' initiative, j '
"I think the liquor Interests are mak
ing a grave mistake said: Mr. Xom
;bard, "in not supporting this ordinance.
It . Is a good regulatory measure and
woold give satisfaction tot the public, I
. feel an re. In preparing It for final aub-
,. mission the committee made compromise
after compromise with the various In
terests Involved. I was not disposed to
compromise at all, but I acquiesced with
, rthe majority, believing we could thereby
get something1 that' the council, as a
whole, would ratify." '-' ? .
, Amendments Proposed.
It soon became apparent after the spe
cial session of the council began today
that no v decision would be reached.
Hardly had the, clerk begun to. read the
(Ordinance when a number of councilmen
got on "their - feet to propose - amend
ments. 1 -, ' "
'v.- Councilmen Baker and , Cellars In
dulged in a wordy . duet over minor
. points In the . ordinance., The - former
councilman .has said he, believes the
pending ordinance Is one . of the best
, of its kind ever drafted. Councilman
Cellars hastaKen no pains to conceal
his ridicule of Baker's statement
; The members of the., special commit-
: tee 1 were- by no means unanimous in
their opinions on the measure finally
'Submitted by them to the council, but
tor the 1 sake of harmony they -, agreed
-Ho recommend It,' leaving the Insertion
of amendments up to the council Itself.
v OrlUs la Question. '
' One of the amendments submitted by
5 Councilman ... Cellars this ,. morning
; cjianged . the ' provision relating to the
! licensing of liquor selling restaurants,
so that they can not sell liquor except
with meals.' Councilman Lombard be
lieves that all restaurants should "Have
Ho pay $800 a year, for their, licenses
. and that they should have the privilege
,of selling intoxicants either with- or
without : food, . '. The present ordinance
( ; provides that these establishments shall
' ;vo. c.iarged $400 a year for liquor li
' ensesi but that they can sell only with
'meals- '- ' . . v:
t Is a matter' of. widespread repute,
however, that the meals sold In some
.Of .the cafes with drinks are purely, and
imply subterfuges.
Cauncjlmsn . Lombard did not-oppose
;'tlie "insertion of . the- amendment by
H'quncllman Cellars and the council in
corporated Jf, Iff the proposed ordinance
by a unanimous vote,
' Another point urged by Mr. Cellars
...'was that wholesale liquor dealers should
be defined 1 to be only such as sell to
' retailers - only. .,' He contended that
wholesaler has no right to sellto con
sumers without paying , an additional
license. -y, s, ' i '..-'
. Ejfe options Taken. - . ,
Councilmen Lombard and- Rushlight
took exception to this -view. .Councilman
I Rushlight. offered an amenflment class
ifying retailers under : two heads, s (a)
' those selling-liquor to be drunk on the
premises, or saloons, and, (b) family
liquor stqres selling, liquor in quantities
-less than six gallons to be drunk on
the premises or elsewhere. The amend
1 mont was not adopted but was referred
with others proposed afterwards, to the
special committee. . 7-.. . , .
.Oonnellman' Baker ' 'WeeoredV the in
sertlon of an amendment ; permitting
drug stores to sell liquor in any quan
tity for medicinal purposes without the
payment oi a, license, provided that the
purchaser, In . each case, registers his
name .and address and .the purpose for
which the liquor might be desired. Coun
cilman Lombard opposed the amend
ment, but without avail. The' special
'committee had previously ' compromised
.' with the retail durgglst by permitting
- them to sell liquor in quantities of not
mor than four ounces..- Councilman
Baker's amendment, therefore, came as
.a surprise to Councilman Lombard, wbo,
howeVec, took bis defeat gracefully.
. On motion of Councilman Wallace the
council voted to exempt clubs from the
' payment of licenses. Councilman Lorn
sbard opposed the exemption, declaring
; nbat clubs derive prom rrom the, sale
' . of liquor and should have to pay for
the privilege,
The council adjourned, at noon, after
re-referring the entire ordinance and
au pending -amendments to the special

, three officers went to the new "Chinese

Urawn down, but not enough to cover
.' the glass entirely and for three minutes'
the officers feasted their eyes on, what
was going ou ; inside.'
,i ; Riley and Burke then made a i bluff
l leaving' the building, but Maloncy
stooped down by the door, and after
waiting about five minutes, heard the
V .latch lift and saw the door open. With
i phout he .Jumped, into ,the room and
ordered the Chinamen around the tabl
to stand ba-k. "

PROTEST AGAIHST

Hold City Engineer Responsi
ble for Bad Work on Hall
Street Retaining' Wall; May
Fight In Court.
Declaring that the improvement of the
streets and the building of the Pall
J, street retaining walls Is not only a poor
piece or workmanship, but" that the cost
has been excessive beyond .reason, prop
erty: owners today sent -an ultimatum
to the office of City' Engineer Morris
and the mayor. ' They will agree to pay
33 1-i per cent of the 'difference be
tween, the estimate of $13,000 and the
bill of $30,000. or fight it out In court
Speakers, who addressed the -meeting
of owners of abutting property declared
that It had been necessary to replace
the retaining walls which had ' toppled
over 1n places and . that for a distance
of two blocks the sidewalks had col
lapsed as the fill of dirt settled behind
the wall. Replacing . these improve
ments had greatly Increased the expense
and it was hinted that the contractors
had been granted changes in the terms
of the specifications, so. that many ex
cavatlona had been enlarged or deep
ened. . The .contractors and the city en
gineer were accused of resorting to the
excuse that they were compelled to seek
a solid foundation for the retaining
wans.
"The Job is awful bad." said Attorney
Seneca Pouts, in speaking of the Haty
irmi improvements. rweniy' year
ago I built wall up there to support
a Toaa wnich I had cut out of the grade.
and up to the time the city engineer
bad it torn, out it had never given any
trouble. It was made of the boulders
taken out when the grade was made.
. "I. doubt if the court would force our
people m that district, to pay' a single
aune oi me cost or tnose improvements.
xne predecessor of City Engineer Mor
rls made the estimates of the cost of
the improvements when originally de
signed, J think thexontract was let for
less than. the -estimate, of $13,000, but
Mr. Morris Is certainly responsible for
allowing changes and -. additional ex-
penses which apparently were unneces
sary. if authorised by law and hts dis
cretion under the charter.. It Is time
that property owners who foot the bills
nave something to say about these mat
ters.f . t " ' , - V,: y ;? v
- Joseph Oaston presided at the meet
ing and had C Hi Farrington as Secre
tary. Mr. Gaston wilt appoint a com
mlttee- of "five to aid him In looking
after, the matter, and a permanent or
ganisation will be maintained. " ,
It is now proposed by the committee
to make a . thorough Investigation of
Just how the-money was expended, and
uity Engineer Morris may; be called
upon to submit his records. ' "

With an; estimated attendance of
more ' th&n 1800 school teachers, the
tenth annual convention of the western
division Of the Oregon State Teachers' I
association took possession of the large I
assembly hall at Jefferson High school
this morning. By far the larger part of
the crowd was composed of women,
Situated far out on the' St Johns car-
line, a tremendous scramble was neces
sary for the distinguished looking visi
tors from the various counties to reach
the - place of meeting prior to ''opening
hour. Streetcars were ' loaded to the
guards for hours priof to 10 o'clock. .
The v attendance is , the largest and
most representative': ever gathered at
any meeting of the association. Among
the Well known educators who are par
ticipating In the proceedings are Dr.
Margaret 8challenberger of . the . State
Normal school of California,? located at
San Jose, and Dr. Davis Snedden, com
missioner of education for the state of
Massachurfbtts. k" ,v ;: ' ;
-.V ,: : ..Qnestlbnf for Acrtlon.
Among the important actions forecast
ed for the convention - is an effort to
change the laws of the state to secure a
higher standard ' of qualifications in
teachers who apply for certificates, and
the awarding of the Rhodes scholarship.
There is one scholarship vacant for Ore
gon. " Another will not 'occur for two
years. There are five candidates; two
of whom come from McMinnvllle col
lets, two from the University of Oregon
ana one from Willamette university.
President Campbell of the University
of Oregon, L. W. Riley of McMlnnville
college. President Ferrln of Pacific uni
versity and President Homan of Willam
ette university, comprise the committee
In charge of the- elimination examina
tion, and will name the successful can
didate at 4 n. m. on Thursday.
' Professor Sheldon, of Eugene, called
the convention to order and introduced
Professor Mooros, president "of the as
sociation and at the head , of the Ore-
son School for the Blind. In his an
aual address tbe . president recounted
the progress of education in this state.

i '"Among the ; most ' Important 'of .the
educational laws ' passed in Oregon
within recent years was that'of 1905,
making compulsory the purchase of
books for school libraries.! he said. "This
law was framed by Superintendent Acker-
man at the time, : when the legislature
was considering a bill, for the . estab
lishment of a free library commission
for the State, and Mr. Ackerman, with
wise foresight, Included In the law pro
vision for its enforcement through the
commission." It;: Is generally consid
ered that thW is the best state, school

1910 over 5000, This Indicates a very ma
terial increase'ln the numbers remain
ing in school, until completing the com
mon school course,
Mr. Moores commended the action of
the people in voting for additional nor
mal-schools, declaring; that they were
necessary in 'order to equip (efficient
teachers. " :, .'':-' .; ;'-J:x
. ""The compulsory education., law,
which has been in effect only a few
years." said he. "has been one .of the
Instruments for bringing the people of
the state to a right understanding of
the. Tact that the state wants an edu
cated citizenship and . that a child's
first duty Is to his state. The percent
age In actual attendance of the enroll
ment has Increased very materially
since the passage of this law. , Ini 1900
the percentage of attendance was 72;
In 1910, 93.5." -;

Dr.- Margaret Schallenberger closed

that women teachers, will always have

During the morning the Mothers' Con

vention, sent their best wishes and a
beautiful lot of chrysanthemums. The
flowers . were in a decorated basket
