Ivan Humason, appointed by the city council Thursday afternon to take charge of the fuel and ice situation in Portland and provide a means for se curing lower prices for both commod ities, began his preliminary Investi gations thla morning:. "While his formal appointment Is not to be made until next week, Mr. Hu mason says he wants to get into the work at once. He began today by checking over the report of the wood situation as compiled by the police. Zee Prices to Get Attention It was the original plan to have him take oharge only of the wood situation, but members of the council held that, as long as ho was to be employed, he should also investigate the increasing cost of loe and other commodities. The council also decided that a test should be made of the coal from the Superior coal mine, control of which had been offered to the city by Thomas Campbell, ex -Governor Oswald "West and Claude MeColloch representing the company. If the coal . Is found to be satis factory the city may take advantage of the offer. Detailed information concerning the mine was given Mayor Baker In a letter today from ex -Governor West. The letter says that the present out put capacity of the mine is 150 tons a day and it can be increased to 300 tons In 60 days' time. "W will deliver you mine coal f. o. b; cars Chehalis at $1.90 per ton." reads the letter. "The railroad rate to Portland Is $1 a ton. As we Increase our dally output the price to the city can and will be materially re duced. "The above price Is made as a start er and with a view of aiding you in meeting the fuel crisis. You are at liberty to examine our books from "time to time and are also at liberty to fix the price you. shall pay, as we are confident that no unfair advantage will be taken of the offer."

Now comes the titanlo task of, de termining the quota of men that eftch lcca.1 district must furnish. This work will be done by the governors of the several states. Each governor will use as the basis of his estimate the population of his state and he will then determine according to the popu lations of the various localities the gross quota of each district. Allowances then will have to be made for the enlistments from each local district. District Quotas to Be Made X,ater Indications are today that, the final anneuncement of the quota due from each local district will -not be made until long after the draft has been drawn.

William E. Her Is Found Dead in Home -i . . . . . apart for a ""yie, unanimously aaopiea, as Adjutant General White said this morning that he had received no offl clal word concerning Oregon's draft allotment of 717, and was unable to state on what basis the allotment was made. "Based on the numbers carried In the press dUpatches," the general sa'-d; Oregon s full quota in the selection of the 687,000 men would be 717 added to the number of enlistments In ithe national guard and regular army. This would make a total number of 7374 Though the number allotted to this state is considered low. it had been figured, based on the credits received. inai it wouia do a good dear less Ad Jutant General White says that as far as he has been notified there has been no change in tho credits and does not anticipate that there will be. 'We were given credit for 1974 reg ular army enlistments and 4683 in th nauonai guard units," ne said. "They coverea tne period up to June 30." Speculation is that there has been some discrepancy In the credit reg ulations. Some are inclined to believe, that only part of Oregon's full credit were applied on the first draft, while the remainder will be applied on the next draft. There is also a-possibility that Ore gon might have been called upon to furnish more than the amount at first estimated. The adjutant general's office is awaiting word from the war depart ment. JTpon receipt of the Informa tion, the-matter will perhaps be mad clear. Allocation of quotas for the vari ous counties of the state, since the credits were received, is still In prog ress. With the announcement of the small number of men to be supplied by Oregon, it is regarded as certain that several of the counties will not have to furnish any men for the draft, their credits being of a high rating. Multnomah county stands a good chance of being one, while Ma rion is another. Enlistments in these counties and several others have been big. On the other hand, a few otner counties haven't furnished any en listments, and will therefore be called upon to furnish their full quota for the draft authors of papers to spell in the way they saw fit in the publication of their work in the association s bulletins. It was carried, after an amendment al lowing the author the use of a foot note explaining that the spelling was not by choice of his own, was lost.

COUNCIL REFUSES REQUEST Maker of Electric Sparklers Asks That Ban Be Removed A.. Jedel, manufacturer of the so- called electric sparklers, was before the city council this morning trying to gel it to rescind Its action in prohibit ing the sale and use of sparklers in Portland. Jedel did not get very far, however, as the council finally decided upon an ordinance expressly prohibiting the sparklers. Commissioners Kellaher and Barbur wanted to permit the sale of the sparklers but Mayor Baker and Com missioners Mann and Blgelow voted to sustain Fire Marshal Toung, who had refused to permit the sale of this kind of fireworks.

Several Junk dealers want all of Portland's Junk shops to close at 8 o'clock at night that they may get a little rest. The Junk dealers were before Dan Kellaher, commissioner of finance, and City Attorney LaHoche thla morning asking that an ordinance be drafted requiring all dealers to close their places at 8.

Mr. Lacey of California objected to the words, "keep fighting' on the grounds that he thought "the presi dent is fighting now." A delegate from Iowa insisted that it would be unpatriotic to pass such a motion at the present time. It would merely heckle the president and be decidedly out of place. He moved thdt the reso lution be laid on the table. Mrs. Young replied: "I give you my word that that will aot add to the cares of the president." With the motion to lay on the table, fur ther argument was out bf order, but it proceeded by tne means of care fully worded questions. Miss Blake asked. "How can a resolution indors ing the stand of the president heckle him?" Wanted Careful Consideration Dr. E. O. Sisson, prefacing his re marks with a statement that he had voted for woman suffrage in two states, asked, "Is this motion not in effect a resolution. This matter Is not before this meeting regularly. I want to see this thing entirely eliminated from the minutes. Ther is no one more in favor of woman suffrage than I, but I do not want to see such a resolution adopted in the last few minutes without careful consideration, at such a crisis in the affairs of the nation." His question was greeted with considerable applause. The discussion continued for a short time bringing applause from the sup porters of both sides as the cham pions made their remarks. Finally Dr. Slsion got the floor again and asked pointedly for the ruling of the chair as to whether or not the motion was a resolution. With a statement that he favored woman suffrage, Dr. Aley announced that he ruled the motion out of order. This meant that the discussions were all elminated from the minutes. Kotlom Was Too &et .
