as
rn nniitiml null will be a reaulre-
- ment to be met . by .candidates for po
sition as houie clerk a this year, if the
committee on appointment stands by
the policy announced In the bouse tnw
morning. . ? '
Ten appointments were.made with the
'.- qualification that those selected must
' pass the test to' be submitted by the
commute,- The f lv - expert stenogra
phers chosen- were. .Margaret Maule,!
Mrs. - Clara Furglnson, Dora Oarfettrl
- Male A. O'Brien and J. R. Flnuoane.
Those selected as common clerks are,
Ann Solomon, Meyle Ge Batt, Fhlllls
Parks, Hacel Smith and .Mary Charle-
ton.
' Usually 20 appointments, as common
' clerks are made, but the reason Intro
. traced yesterday by Representative
Eaton TeduclngUie number to five,, has
caused effect and nd mors may, be
: named, faton declares that no more
than five are nneded to-do the work;
that they should be capable and that
- they should not receive- any pay for
overtime. His reason also provides that
the chief clerk can discharge any of
the clerks at any time for failure to
properly perform their' dnttes.
- Yesterday one member from each 41s
Irlct was appointed as a committee of
.. the whole to select a subcommittee of
five to, name the appointees. The com
mittee met- In the morning, but there
was a .squabble 'and 'nothing- Was ac
complished. The. difficulty . was. over
.. the manner of naming the suVoommlt
tee. Ia the afternoon 'another session
was held and it ws-finally decided to
permit J. A. Buchanan of Douglas, who
'was chalrmani to name the. committee
, He was instructed to consider geo
graphical locations In the appointments,
lie chose McKinney of . Baker; Bryant

tlon with those be named. .
The appointments made this morning;
may be followed by others, depending
upon action of the house. In defer
ence to Eaton's resolutions and the pos
sibilities, only five common clerks were
named. There la a marked sentiment
among many members against filling up
the house with useless employes and it
is very likely there will be little more

Mrs. Anna H. Vail, 446 Larrabee street
In hef suit filed today In the circuit
court for a divorce . from Leon L.

est in the Washington street property

the home. She asks for a division of
the property and 11000 with which to

REALTY IN LEAVE
E
After a full discussion In which near
ly every member present took part, the
Portland" Realty board yesterday after
noon decided to make no effort to se
cure a repeal of the present law reg
ulating the collection In the courts of
commissions earned in the sale of real
estate not that the realty men are
satisfied with the law requiring a writ
ten contract with owners before a com
mission can be collected for negotiat
ing sales, but the concensus of opinion
at the meeting was that a return to
the old order of things, where fre
quently half a dozen brokers claimed a
division of the commission, would not
Improve the situation.
As the proposed state convention of
real estate men which was to have been
called to meet In Portland the latter
part of this month was for the purpose
of aiding In the repeal of the contract
law, the plan of bringing the brokers
together so soon was dropped for the
present. However, it was the sense of
yesterday's meeting that a state con
vention of realty brokers should be held
in this city some time this spring.
A resolution was adopted to put the
name of W. M. KiUingsworth. president
of the board, on the insurgent ticket
that is to be voted on January 18 for
the board of governors of the Commer
cial club. The following committee was
appointed to make an organized effort
In Mr. Killingsworth's behalf: V. V.
Jones, H. W. Fries. A. F. Swenson, W.
H. Chapln and F. L. Purse.
The board voted down a proposition
to petition the city council to require
real estate agents to pay an annual
license fee of $100.-
Secretary Rountree was Instructed to
confer with local title and abstract
companies as to the advisability of In
viting the American Association of Title
Men to meet in Portland in 1912.
A get-together dinner will be. given
by the board early In February, the
exact date to be selected and announced
later by the executive committee.

(United Pren Leafed Wlra.t
Washington, Jan. 11 Declaring ig
norance and greed were responsible for
the proposed freight rate Increases, At
torney Louis Brandels appeared before
the Interstate Commerce commission
today, arguing against higher tariffs.
Brandels repeated his .statement that
the railroads by using modern methods
would save $1,000,000 dally, and out
lined briefly the plan which he said
would effect this saving.
"The separation of plannipgfrom
performance in the matter of develop
ment, a 'look before you leap' policy, Is
one of the essential principles,'' he said.
Other principles: "Putting the bur
den of accomplishment upon the men
responsible, not upon men whose duty
it is to obey orders; a universal pre
p&rednene for emergency; An .analytical
study of each -operation to" determine
how much could be done with the least
expenditure; a standardisation of meth
ods, material and equipment"
The present management of railroads,
he told the commission, was expensive
and antiquated. ' -
Tho railroads, he said, were allied
with the steel trust and the coal barons,
and sought to have the interests of the
roads and other corporations Involved
conserved through the debauchery of
the public press.
Other devices that would help the
roads in economizing, Brandels said,
would be to keep records of Industrial
performances in order to ascertain what
each man does, how long given tasks re
quire, and to form a basis for paying
an adequate reward for Individual ac
complishment He said numerous railroads' asserted
Increased rates were necessary as a re
sult of wage Increases and the Increased
cost of steel. A partial trial of scien
tific management by the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe, he said, reduced oper
ating expenses - in the machine shops
over 60 per cent annually. He said a 8
per cent raise to all the railroads in the
territory asking Increases would mean
(27,000,000 annually.
MULTNOMAH CARES
FOR MANY CHILDREN
One Interesting feature of the biennial
report of Superintendent Gardner of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid society, which has
Just been received by the secretary of
state, Is the showing that the children
of Multnomah are better cared for than
those of other counties. While Mr,
Gardner has a more intimate knowledge
of the conditions of the youth of Port
land, he reports that only about 60 per
cent of the children cared for are resi
dents of this county. At the receiving
home more than 75 per cent of the chil
dren are 'from counties other than
Multnomah.
During the two years last past 899
children have been cared for by the so
ciety, 821 being new cases. Five hun
dred and forty-eight children "were
placed In family homes during the two
years. In a financial way the society
has been running aoout even.
