Thomas McCuskar, Secretary of fimployars' Association, Oat, ting- TTp tna Tropoaad SXaaaora. t Contending that "boycott" banners ar objectionable and do much to pre sent reputable industries from locat ing in PortlandThomas McCusker, an 'attorney and secretary of the Employ ed' association, has prepared an ordi nance to prohibit the carrying or these -banners and proposes to have the city council submit it to the voters in the June election. A tentative draft of the measure has already been prepared by Mr. McCusker and will be presented to City Attorney La Roche for revision within a few days. ' tThis movement on the part of Mr. McCusker follows a plea made by a large number of business men several months ago to the city commissioners that they adopt such an ordinance. They refused at that time to take , action, however. J Mr. 'McCusker says now, however, that he has the assurance of at least three of the .commissioners that they will vote to place the measure before the people at the election in June. In his proposed ordinance Mr. Mc dusker would make it a public nuisance ' for any person to display a banner In front of any business house or factory x for the purpose of inducing or attempt ing t! induce any person to refrain from purchasing goods sold op manu factured. He also proposes a fine of $100 for violations.

At the close of the meeting Com missioner Brewster brought up the question of efficiency and stated that while he did not believe that it was working correctly he did not want to see it abolished. "I agree perfectly with Commission er Daly,"he said, "that the system is not working correctly, but as the char ter provides that we must have an ef ficiency system, We've got toi retain it or get something else." I "Why, the efficiency system as handled is the biggest kind of a farce," replied Commissioner Daly. ''The civil service board can ignore it. It makes an enormous amount of work; and cer tainly does not accomplish results in tended. Much of it is theoretical and never can be worked. It allows the giving of merits for other ability along other lines than an employe Is hired for. ;Vvhat good is that, when you want an efficiency man in the particu lar line? - SPOKANE INSTALLS METERS Number of Applications Are Being Received. Water consumers of Spokane are very desirous of securing water meters on their services and are making appli cations for them daily, according to the Spokesman Review. A few months ago the city here attempted to pur chase water meters but the referendum was invoked onjhe authorization ordi nance and the question will be an is sue at the June election. The water department of Spokane is installing meters as rapidly as pos sible and expects to have all services metered by the end of the summer season It is said that applications for water meters' iiumber six to 10 daily. It is estimated that 19 out of every 20 meters sought axe for domestic serv ices. ' ' Will H. Daly, commissioner of public Utilities, proposed that water meters should be installed on all domestic services here and the city council au thorized the purchase of 8000- meters, but it has been held up by the refer endum, i ' British Ridicule j Germany Apology Parliamentary Secretary of British Admiralty Scoff a at German Ac counts of Attack on Snip. j j London, March 10. Speaking from the floor of the house of commons here today, Thomas J. McNamara, parliamentary secretary of the Brit ish admiralty, ridiculed the explana tion voiced by Count von Behistorff, the German ambassador to the! United States that the recent submarine at tack on the British hospital ship Asturias was an error. He eftld that the night was clear when the Asturias was attacked and that it was; (Impos sible for the Germans to have mistaken tho character of the ship. j i . . BIG SUBMARINE RAMMED, SUNK BY DESTROYER Continued From Page One.) He was one of five members' of the crew, he said, who succeeded in sell ing pieces of wreckage. All held out for several hours, but finally OJToole'a companions began to ?disappearione by one, and when the Woodville, the ves sel which rescued O'Toole, picked hlin up, he was the only survivor. He de clared that one of the other four mea had - shouted out that this wan tba second time he had been on a ship that had been torpedoed by a submarino. Several months ago, he said, the vessel on which he sailed was sent to the bot tom, and he was rescued after spend ing several hours in the water. Members of the crew of the Princess Victoria were rescued after they had drifted about in two small boata which they succeeded in launching i before their ship, went down. The Princess Victoria went under less than 15 nun utes after being struck, so terrific was the force of the torpedo. Nobody on that shin saw any sign of a: submarine until the man at the wheel noticed the periscope and shouted a warning that a torpedo had been fired. Even as he spoke the torpedo struck. j Cantain White Claims lri2ie. London, March 10.

The east side branch library, East Eleventh and Alder streets, wasn't half big enough to hold the crowd that turned out to hear Samuel Hill, the good roads apostle, talk on "Floral Culture and Scenery of Oregon," last night. They sat In the aisles; they stood up all over the : place; they crowded onto the platform; they made It almost impossible for the stereopti con man to work the slides; and 200 persons went home disappointed, un able to get in. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Hawthorne District Rose association. Although Mr. Hill's subject was of a floral and faunal sort he just couldn't resist the temptation to talk on good roads and he did so in his usual straight-from-the-shoulder way. "I am tired of hearing of these eulogies of so-called road builders," he told his audience, "when I know for a fact that there are only four men who know how to build a road right in this entire country. R. H. Thomson, the man who made Seattle's roads, S. C. Lancaster who is building the Colum bia highway and Major H. R. Bowlby, state highway engineer, are three of them, and I have forgotten the name of the fourth. "The' fact that a man can build a railroad does not make him a road builder. John F. Stevens, the man who built the North Bank road admittedly one of the greatest feats of railroad construction in this country, told me once he would rather build 1000 miles of railroad than a" single mile of high way. "I let quite a distinguished railroad engineer build some road for me at one time and his mistakes cost me $2000." Mr. Hill will leave for San Francisco Friday night where he will show his celebrated color slides at the exposi tion. Decisive Victory Claimed by Russia Germans Pushed Back Six Miles After Attempt to Seize Waraaw-PetrogTad Bailway Ends in Failure. Fetrograd, March 10. A decisive victory over Germans who attempted to seize the Warsaw-Petrograd rail way in the vicinity of Grondo was re ported in dispatches received here to day from Warsaw. The Germans were pushed back six miles and suffered heavy losses, it was claimed. The Russians were also said to be engag ing the Germans in a big battle east of Augustof, less than 12 jniles from the Prussian frontier. A statement issued from the war of fice admitted the Germans had as sumed the offensive northeast of Lomza and north of Plock, but claimed the enemy was repulsed in engage ments at Drobin and east of Sierpc. "A numerically superior force of Austrians," the statement continued, "made slight gains north of Lupkow pass, but this has been offset by Rus sian victories in the Stanlslau region. .Nearly an entire Austrian battalion retreating- from the Dneister river was cut off and forced to surrender.

Bjr Bond P. Geddes, United Press Staff Correspondent. New York, March 10. The state is expected to rest late this afternoon, In the conspiracy trial of Harry K. Thaw, and five others. If Justice Page, presiding, finally rules out all testimony regarding the sanity of the principal defendant, it is expected the case may reach the Jury Saturday. The defense plans to force the sanity issue probably tomorrow, when an alienist will be called and will be asked whether Thaw's mind is de ranged. The court will then be forced to decide finally regarding the admissibility of such testimony. Deputy Attorney General Kennedy declared today that he did not re gard such testimony as pertinent and that even should the court admit it. he would not crossexamine alienist witnesses called by the defense. Thaw was miif fled , under, a heavy sweater and was suffering, from a severe cold" and stiffened heck when he appeared in court today. But he was active and . personally directed the legal moves of his counsel. He has caused the lawyers to bring from Matteawan a number of attendants who will testify that he acted nor mally at all times. The defense, it is learned, will de fer the decisive test of the admjs-? sibility of evidence regarding Thaw's sanity. It is stated that Justice Page is inclined to exclude from the record all evidence of this character excepting such as tends to prove that Thaw knew "the nature and quality" oj the acts of conspiracy al leged. . ?
