THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1812. IMEEL SUGGESTS Laugh Comes fust in Time to Save to the garage of S. J. , Donaldson, are posted throughout the town. So far hot the slightest trace of the incendiary has developed. No effort will be spared by the city authorities to bring the guilty persons to Justice. This Is a town very largely . composed of wooden buildings and has already suffered one disastrous fire. In "consequence there is a feeling here which mtght result In d'-! consequences to any no caught Y fire to buildings. , a foker Prom Councilmans Jbist Store Opened Evening's Until Ghrifitmao Would Have Board of Concili ation Named by President Confirmed by Senate. ORE mmm Washington. Dec. 16. Though foreign A born children, of Uea parent who hava Wmerely ' declared their .intention to be- given me protection onerea oy ins im migration laws of the country, there Is no such protection provided for the for elgn born children of naturalised citlr sens, according to the tenth annual re port of Charles Nagel secretary of commerce and Jabor. Secretary Nagel aays that though the immigration laws are silent with respect to these foreign born children, it is the understanding of the department that to deprive them of protection would be a result manifestly not intended, bo that a liberal policy of ; administration in such cases has been followed. ', ,7 .' :; The report further suggests that the arbitrations between railroads and rail road men have probably reached a point . at this time where it will be found fea sible to create a board of conciliation and arbitration, such a board to be named, by th president and confirmed by the senate. At present the commis nloner of labor is a member of the board to arbitrate disputes between rail road men and railroads, and the work of : the latter poaitlon has become so absorb' ing that some relief is asked for. The board of arbitration is offered as a pos sible way In which to settle the ques tion. - i . As set forth In Secretary Nagel'a re port 'the total appropriations for the department for the fiscal year ended ; June 80, 1912, were 115,914,805.23, which was $238,185.35 leas than the appropria tions for the previous fiscal year. The working force of the department la placed at 9964 persons, a reduction . of I 44 since tna previous year. , avr The report aummarliea a number of measures of essential importance to the effective organization of several branches of the department, which were enacted during the present admlnlstra tlon. Among these is the law which authorized the organization of a bureau of lighthouses. Secretary Nagel refers to the consolidation of the bureaus of manufactures and statistics under the name of the bureau of foreign and do ' mestlo commerce, as a matter of greater importance, inasmuch as this bureau . will -be in a position to provide govern mental assistance, similar to that glvea In other countries, for the nation's com mercial and Industrial Interests. Important legislation has also been enacted for the regulation and control - of wireless messages, and in addition congress has required two wireless . operators for every ship carrying 50 per sons or more on trips of 200 miles by sea or on the Great Lakes. Stress is placed on the importance of ,4he law which has been enacted to carry the seal treaty into effect. It is urged that further treaties looking to the preservation of sea life be not discour aged. Actual count shows that the num ber of breeding seals has been almost ; doubled because of protective legisla tion. The report urges that steps be taken to improve the facilities for collecting statistics In imports and exports. Care is advised In the matter of proposed leg islation for the creation of a trade com mission. The commission la advised if tit , Is clearly provided that It shall be oniy for the purpose of giving federal control to large industrial and commer cial organizations. The fear is that the power of the proposed; commission will be allowed to Include other activities. ' . It is argued that the transportation of dangerous articles on vessels, more especially automobiles on ferryboats, should be more carefully guarded than Is possible under the existing laws. Ad ditional compensation for lighthouse in spectors Is recommended. Secretary Nagel'a report Includes de tailed reports of the work of the sev eral bureaus of the department Centralis Mines Work Full Time. (Special tt The Journal.) Centralis, Wash., Pec It. The Tono mines are shipping 1000 tons of coal dally, the maximum capacity of the : mines until new shafts are sunk. The .... working force at the mines was this week increased to 225 men. (A mirth maker In the shape of sn anecdote is that now going the rounds In coUncllmanlo circles. The council man on whom the Joke is being told is one of the very best young reformers in the council. . In fact his hobby is reform, whether it be-in granting a million dollar streetcar franchise : or Issuing a pop corn license. ' i ' ;'1 The other day this councilman Intro duced "a : new ; liquor trafflo ordinance that would, if it had passed, made the average saloonkeper , look as Jolly as the head of a family paying Christmas bills. The ordinance revised the present liquor code fore and aft and In the mid dle. In short it was calculated to make a Portland liquor dealer believe a pro hibition state a national paradise. One of the provisions of the measure abol ished the free lunch. Keasnie Promptly ZUU4. When the ordinance, came up for Its first reading last Thursday it was killed without its being given a chance even to be deferred to a committee for investigation..1 But last Monday the saloonmen of the city did not know but that the measure might, pass. Monday morning, the author of the WOMEN CLAIMANTS TO , 'r, THROVE TRY SUICIDE (United Pre Leased Wlre.t Paris. Dec. 16. Declaring themselves to be the descendants of Louis XVI un justly deprived of their rights two mid dle aged women attempted to commit suicide by shooting themselves In the fashionable Champus Elyses near the president's palace. They declare they are the descendants of the Dauphin, son of Louis XVI. who wfir kept prisoner in the temple after the execution of the king in 1793, and that they have sougnt in vain to obtain recognition of their claims to the French throne. Inquiries show they are insane. They formerly kept a millinery store at Nantua, but ruined themselves by demolishing their premises in search of burled treasure. Falls City Taxes Lower This Year. Falls City, Or., Dec. 16.-r-Taxes are to be lower in this city next year, according lo the new levy made by the city coun cil. The general levy is 4 mills and the special levy 6 mills; last year the total was 15 mills. The school tax will be the same 4 mills as last year. - late measure, in company with several other councilman, made a trip of in spectlon over some city streets in an automobile. On the return tq the busi ness district the party passed. a down town buffet from which an appetizing odor of roast beef emanated. The au thor and a fellow councilman disem barked and retraced their steps to the place. . It was noon hour In the "milionalre's club." Savory viands arrayed on the lunch ' counter of the buffet met the gaze of the hungry duo as they entered. They lost no time in sampling the wares so invitingly displayed,--The author was particularly assidu ous in his attentions to the succulent r ast beef and other luncheon aoces sorles. After he had tried a little of everything he came back and got an other Juicy roast beef sandwich. With this brandished in his hand he was in vited to the bar by his confrere to have a drink. Bartender Joins tn. This fellow lawmaker then started out to have a little fun at the author's expense. Thus he accosted the bar tender, whom he knew: f: t "Well, I 'guess' there'll be no more free lunches after next council meet ing." "No, thanks to that big fatheaded', psalm singing fourflusher who , calls himself the father of that blankety blank new liquor ordinance," retorted the drink mixer heatedly. "1 suppose we'll all lose our Jobs, too." "Why, is it possible' asked the Joke ster, innocently, "that you refer to Councilman So-and-So?" "Yes, that's the 'gink' J refer to! was the bartender's rejoinder. . He started to detail some other Im pressions that he had gathered when he observed a large man nervously clinching and uncllnching one great fist and Jnendlng across the bar a dark scowl. He was the author in question. What he might have done can only be imagined, for, as he made a half swing with one fist he glanced at the other and his Jaw dropped. The other councilman broke forth into'a wicked laugh. The hand still held an unfinished portion of a fine large sandwich. The bartender Is still wondering what was the Joke.
