' Three suits have been filed already and several mora are being prepared. The suits are being brought under a law passed by the last legislature, which ; provides for reaching owners of prop- rty used for tramoral 'purposes, and prescribes a method of procedure which , make possible the closing of houses so , used. - Instead of criminal prosecution ' before a Jury with iU long waits, the ' law provides for an Injunction prohibit . ing the use of the property unless a eavy bond Is given, that it will not be immorally occupied. ' ' ' -: The law provides that records of the municipal court and common fame ahall be sufficient evidence, and eliminates ' the necessity of proving that owners of '.. the property had previous knowledge of tha purpose, for whioh the property was used. For violation of the lnjuno . tlon provision Is made that the vlo , la tor be In contempt of court, and a heavy fine and, imprisonment may be . imposed. . '"!-.

Daly requiring .the Portland Railway. Light and POwer eomDanyNU sell six car tickets for cents. The resolution also recommended that the company be required to veil 8 tickets for 25 cents to worklngmen, to be used during the rush hours morning and evening. A resolution was adopted favoring me extension of cross-town car lines throughout the east aide. The resolu tion urged that all oross-town'car lines be extended 'to connect with Killings- worth avenue on the south. A special committee, of whloli Walter Dyer la chairman, was appointed to cooperate with similar committees from other east side clubs In the agitation for cross- town lines. These committees, which will number, more than 100 east side business men, will ask for a hearing be fore the city commission before the pe tition of the P. R. I A P. Co. for a franchise on East Twenty-eighth street, Is acted upon. The east side people will attempt to have the route of the crone town line changed from East Twenty eighth to East Thirty-third street A' resolution was adopted favoring the building of the municipal auditorium on the east side, preferably at the corner of Bolladay and Grand avenues. This site is being urged by the East Side Business Men's club. X M. Lepper, president of the Great er East 81de United Improvement Clubs association spoke at length in favor Of c roes-town car Unas. He said that Inasmuch as cross-town lines were nec essary to tha growth and development ef the east side, the street railway oom- pany should be compelled to ouwa tnem where they would do the greatest amount of good to the largest number of people. In talking for a municipal lighting plant Mr. Lspper thought that almost enough power could be obtained from the Mt Tabor reservoir to supply the city with all the necessary lighting. Several other east aide Improvements were) dismissed but no definite aotlon was taken. A large number of delegates from east side clubs were present to promise cooperation In any of the east side Improvements wnion should oe un dertaken. and Investigations furnish material on which to base them. The three which are being prepared are against the Rod. ney Glisan estate, owner of 41 North Fifth street, of which Rodney U Glisan is agent; J. C, Costello, owner of Utt North Fourth street, and 27. tt Burn- side street; the - Callaghan company, owner of H North Fourth street and S78 Ankeny street In ail of ' the places complained against actual arrests and convictions on statutory charges have been secured since the beginning of the year.

Reason'' OTHER STATES ASKED TO HELP1N THE FIGHT AGAINST DOUBLE EES Bar Association Committee Writes Letter Urging Sup port of Chamberlain's Bill. "Within a few days the presidents of the bar' associations of all the states of the west in which the "double fge" sys tem prevails in the federal courts will have in hand letters which are sent out by the special committee of tfie Oregon Bar association urging concerted action In aupport of Senator Chamberlain's bill in 'congresa reducing; tho fees. The special committee has been woric- lng quietly for many weeks and lately haa gathered much Important informa tion which will be embodied In a report to the State Bar association when it meets this fall. Believing that the as sociations of other stateB might toke up. the question llkewlae and securo more Immediate premium upon congress, the committee prepared the letter, which is as follows: Text of tetter Sent. "The Oregon Bar association, st a meeting; some time ago, appointed a committee on expense of federal ap peals and costs. This committee, of which T am chairman. Is conducting an extensive investigation and has amassed considerable data on the subject. 'It has found" a fee system In force which makes It very difficult and bur den some for one In even moderate cir cumstances to protect his rights In tho federal courts, it has found a relic or pioneer days when travel was difficult and the amount of litigation insignifi cant, a 'double fee aystem remaining In a few western states which helps to make the expense of federal proceedings extremely burdensome and In some cases almost prohibitive. It has found charges, In many cases, entirely out of proportion ' to the services rendered and some for which no appreciable service is rendered. Attention Directed to BUI. "Senator Chamberlain has lust Intro duced in tb senate a bill reducing very materially the fees to be exacted In federal cases. Our association does not meet until fall and no report can be made by our committee and no official aoUon can be taken by the association until that time. However, you are.1 no doubt, familiar with the system in gen eral ana especially with the 'doublo fee' feature under which a few of our states stUl hav to work. We are ac cordingly taking- the liberty of bring-' lng the matter to your attention now In order that you may the sooner take such action as you deem wise In regard to It OosdiUona Should Be Changed. We think that conditions which tend to deny access to tha United States courts to a large number of United States citizens should be changed at once. We believe that Senator Cham berlaln's bill, if it becomes a law, wlU aia very materially in changing them. "Those of th western states still un der the 'double fee' system are espec ially Interested In this legislation. At best, reforms la matters of this sort are slow enough. We would, therefore. respectfully recommend that you look Into the situation carefully, and if you see It as we do, urge upon your repre sentatives In oongress that speedy ao tlon be taken. "If we can cooperate with you In any way, by furnishing information or oth erwise, In furthering this legislation, we shall bs very glad Indeed to do so. -Yours very truly, . "JOSEPH N. TEAL, Chairman." In attacking the federal fee system, the Oregon Bar assoolaUon hopes to accomplish as' a body what Individuals have been vainly trying to accomplish for years. The report will cite specific cases of the Injustice of the system in vogue In Oregon and other districts and some will show how litigants, winning their causa in the trial court, have been defeated on appeal simply because they lacked the money for costs to secure standing In fhe appellate tribunal Mr. Teal said this morning that the committee la busy in preparing further data to be embodied In the report As to the recommendations for remedy, he said the Chamberlain bill would offer much Immediate relief. Possible changes in court procedure to make litigation less complicated and so far less costly may also be urged. POSTAL SAVINGS BANK Portland Institution Is Husky Youngster and Getting Larger Rapidly, The Portland postal Havings bank was Just 23 months old Monday, and It is a husky commercial infant. On that day the deposits in the bank totaled 1807,304. This does not represent the total that has been deposited In the bank during the 23 months, which runs into millions. The $307,304 was the fund actually In the hands of the government on Monday. At the rate of lncreaae that has been made lately, officials of the bank predict that the million dollar deposit mark will be reached by June 1 of next year. The performance of the bank is tha more remarkable because of tha fact that the deposits necessarily must be small. The postal savings statute for bids the depositing of more. than $100 at any one time or of anyone having on hand more than $500. If all who want to were allowed to deposit, the million dollar mark would bs reached very quickly. On Monday five pnrsons applied with large sums to deposit and were rejected. All wanted to put away for safe keeping more than J 500. One man wanted to deposit $4600. Italians Hare 'Spr Fever," Chlasso, Aug. 13. The Italians have caught the "spy fever." In tha past week.
