I Ths "single file on the bridge" rule
jnder Which motor-owners have been
Chafing ver since It wu put Into
Tores, ia to be modified, If the recom
mendation which Safety- Commissioner
jJoffln will make to the county oom
inlssloners Is carried out.
( Mr. Coffin announced that the plea
PI tb motorist would be heeded to the
extent of allowing double files on the
Broadway bridge and changing- the rule
the steel bridge to a mure lenient
cue, Saturday, at a meeting called by
fJeorgs E. Hardy, executive secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, at which
automobile owner and officials of the
-ity were represented.
( The traffic conditions In Portland
were discussed from all angles and
Viauled over the coala by at least three
pf Uie men Interested, while commit,
aioner -Coffin defended them,
I "- .
Present System Scored.
f 'Howard M. Covey, C. M. Menzles and
Frank- C. Hlggs were firm In their
statements that the people of Portland
have been so much coddled In the
"safety first" campaign that they have
.ceased to look out for themselves, and
that every man who drives has to do
the watching out, not only for himself,
but for thoae who walk besides.
On the other hand, Mr. Coffin aald he
! Was In receipt of a letter which de
clared that the national movement of
;ths ? "safety first" had recently com
mended the Portland movement and de
clared It to be well advanced.
! Mr. Coffin also announced that the
'near-aide stop of all streetcars would
be embodied ln the ordinance soon to
be presented to the council, something
which motorists have been asking for
lor some time.
I The present regulation of the bridge
was severely criticised by several oa
the grounds that it was restriction
which did no good except to inconven
ience the driver.
i " f, Mot in JTavor of BeStrictlons.
! Mr; Menzles and Mr. Covey declared
that; while the double file might help,
they could see no reason why the bridge
'should have any restriction at all.
I Mr. Coffin defended his system by the
declaration that accidents bad been re
duced since it was Inaugurated, and
that it was far superior to that of such
cities as Detroit and others of the
east, where' streets are narrow and au
tomobiles numerous. He said Ban Fran
iclsco was crying for help.
However, while their opinions of the
-merits of the system differed, all
agreed that the reckless element should
be ellAxlnated. and that the officers
should, be instructed to apply the rule
with Judgment rather than by the stop
watch and the mark on tha pavement.

Gang Are Arrested
r
WefToes Charged With Passing Counter
feits of Pederal Beserre Issue Plot
Hatched ia Walla Walla Penitentiary
Grant Fowlks and George Williams,
negroes, were arrested early yesterday
morning and are held i in the county
jail, charged with passing counterfeit
bills of the late federal reserve issue.
The arrest of the two la said to have
cleaned up a gang of IS men who have
passed the bunco currency all up and
down the coast.
Williams is charged with passing
two of the spurious bills on Chinese,
the first March 2 and. the latest April
24. On Fowlks, when! arrested, two
bills were found. The negroes are said
to be minors In the operations.
The currency swindle was hatched
in Walla Walla penitentiary before the
bulk of those Interested were released
I last fall. The plant was established In
San Francisco and the money Is al
leged to have been made by Henry
Davis, alias William Franklin, alias
Stevens, a known counterfeiter.
Gua Loken, a former, bartender, who
worked on North Sixth; street, was ar
rested three weeks ago here, at the
same time as Sdwin Frohn, the alleged
"wholesales" of the bad money, was
seized in San Francisco. W. A. Glover,
secret service agent, and Detectives La
Salle, Leonard, Goltz and Howell made
the local arrests. Practically all the
bad paper is said to have been recov
ered. It was a fairly good representa
tion of the notes, which are new in the
west.

California-Made Hatch Excels.
Sacramento, CaU May 1. V. N.
S.) The California match is far su
perior to the Japan product, according
to an announcement made by the
state board of control today. Actual
tests at the state laboratory In Berke
ley are the basis for the statement.
Freight trains are being operated
as usual today. Just aa If ..the four
railway brotherhoods had not thrown
down before the general managers a
virtual ultimatum that hours of serv
ice should be reduced from 10 to eight
per day with overtime of time and a
half for all time spent in excess of
those eight.
Rumors were spread broadcast over
the country when the brotherhoods is
sued their formal demand for a de
crease in working time that' a strike
haC been voted and that the railroads
must agree without quibble or be suo
lect to a universal tle-uo. The union
leaders subsequently issued a denial of
such an arbitrary attitude and asked
that the railroads make their formal
replies no later than May 29. Con
ftrrnrcii r tn be held between the
general managers and the brotherhood
officials, the railroads having maa
their reply two days In advance of th
time limit set bV the unions.
Arrangements for thes conferences
have not yet been made, but it is sup
posed that they will begin as soon as
the railroads can select the men to rep
resent them.
In the meantime, however, the train
service is not to be interfered with,
the engineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen making their runs as usual
The railroads contend that yielding
to the employes' demands would mean
an increase of $100,000,000 to the an
nual operating expenses. The employes
denv this, asserting that the actual in
crease would be almost negligible, but
that working conditions would be im
measurably improved.
