Snperlor Ooal atns Compear Offers to
Xt City Take Output and Dic

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."

Hated in the regular army between
April 2 and June 30.
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.

Indications are today that, the final
anneuncement of the quota due from
each local district will -not be made

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

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

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

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

A delegate from New York immedl

citing the case of the registration of
women in New York as "destroying
the last hope of the antl-suffraglsts."
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.

While the ordinance abolishing the

"There are very few unfortunates
