OFMD-WES Delivery Boys Worst Motor Drivers of All Declares Garage Man Startling Story of Lack of Skill Among Portland People. Operat ing Cars Is Told; 35 to 75 Per Cent of Machines Are Said to Have Defective Brakes or Steering Gear. A startling story of lack of skill among Portland automobile drivers and of faulty machines is told by local garage owners. Thousands of those now piloting cars are not competent to drive on the streets, garage men say, and from 35 to 75 per cent of machines in operation have either defective brakes or faulty steering gear. Under such conditions, the driver is powerless to sufficiently control his car in extreme emergencies. "I don't feel Justified in taking my car downtown during the day." declares one garage proprietor. "I drive it home and to work, but when I come down to the congested district I walk. I don't feel justified In driving my oar through the streets to allow some of the careless and reckless drivers to bump me around. "I have several cars, owned by Port land business men, stored for the winter. They need their cars, but fear to drive them around to be damaged by other machines. . "The young delivery boys are the worst drivers. They are Irresponsible and should be forced to drive rationally or stay off the streets." Several Portland garages have estab lished a rule prohibiting patrons from driving Into the. building. Cars are left at the runway, and attaches of the shop r print them Inside. ..

Trowbridge Dies at St. Vincents Hospital, Following Brave Fight With Long Illness. Forceful and Modest Character Leaves Strong Impress on the Government of Adopted State. George M. Trowbridge, editor of The Journal, died at St. Vincents hospital at twenty minutes to six o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr. Trowbridge underwent an operatfon August 3 0, from which he rallied sufficiently to return to the Arling ton club. Three weeks ago he went back to the hospital, where he was confined until his death. Mr. Trowbridge suffered a serious and prolonged illness which began in Jan uary, 1916, and from which he made a remarkable recovery, returning to his office during the closine days of the presidential campaign of that year. Three months ago symptoms developed which compelled his return to the hos pital, where the last operation isclosed that recovery was impossible. BORN TS IOWA George Trowbridge was S3 years old at the time of his death. He was bom In Dubuque, Iowa, in 1861, the eldest son of Rev. and Mrs. James H. Trow, bridge. He spent his boyhood at River- Bide. 111., attending Lake Forest acad emy. Lake Forest, 111., for one year before entering Amherst college, whence he was graduated in the class of 1883. He studied law at Northwestern uni versity and practiced that profession In Chicago for several years. Over 20 years ago he abandoned the law for newspaper work, which he since had followed. He joined the staff of the Los Angeles Times and later that of the Los Angeles Herald, being city editor of the latter paper. Removing to San Francisco he became political writer on trve Bulletin. " . i. i . .. CAME TO HE JOCK AXr 'WaffjPn-' ; In September. 1902. six months after It establishment. Mr. Trowbridge Joined the' editorial staff of The Journal.

In April. 1906, he became editor of The Journal, In which capacity he served until his death. ! being a strong factor in Us growth and . development. Mr. Trowbridge had a passion for better government, and he played a large part In bringing about many of the governmental reforms which marked I the passing of the old political order in this state. In his passing Oregon and Portland lose a useful and con structive citixen. and the newspaper world an editor whose vision and re sourcefulness for the upbuilding of the community he served was tempered by a patience, courtesy and kindliness that ever were an inspiration to his col leagues. Self-effacement was an abiding trait with him, who preferred to exer cise his talents unheralded to the ac complishment of worthy ends. SrSTER WITH HIM AT THE E3TD Mr. Trowbridge was unmarried. He is survived by one sister and two brothers, all of New York. His sister. Miss Cor nelia Trowbridge, was with him when the end came, having reached Portland November 22, where her brother's illness called her from Serbia, in which place she was serving as a member of the Serbian relief commission. Miss Trow bridge also spent the summer of 1916 in Portland, during her brother's former illness. Of the brothers, James R. Trow bridge is an officer of the .Franklin Savings bank in New Tork, and Mason R. Trowbridge, who was with his broth er in Portland In September, is an attor ney for Colgate & Co. George Trowbridge was a member and a director of the Arlington club, a member of the University club and a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 3 :30 o clock at the Church of Our Father (Unitarian), Rev.

A new fight for universal acceptance of the League of Nations by all allied and associated powers will be started when the conven tion of Kuropean and Asiatic societies supporting the league meet Monday In Brussels, according to advices here to day. An appeal to the American senate to accept the peace treaty with the league included is expected to be one of its early acts. The allied powers realize, it was said, that the league's chances for success without American participation are remote. Any opposition to those sec tions of the league . covenant , which President Wilson forced the European powers to accept baa dwindled with the senate's rejection of the treaty, accord ing to inXonfeation here. , George Jtlasion m ?jswrre?s?2 $1700 Offered for Capture of Thug or Thugs Who Killed Chinese Ex-Service Man. t Astoria, Nov. 29. Rewards ag gregating $1700 have been offered fo rthe arrest of the thugs who Fri day night murdered Frank Gowan, Chinese, ex-service man and mer chant, and then robbed his place of business. The first organization to offer a re ward was the Clatsop post of the American Legion. Officers of the post met this morning and authorized the payment of $500 for the arrest of the murderer or murderers. This was quickly followed by the offering of a similar amount by the estate of the dead man, who has two partners. Frank Spittle, counsel for the firm, stated that the $500 would be posted with the county judge, to be paid on his order to the parties responsible for the apprehension of the murderer or murderers. Mayor James Bremner also offered a reward of $500 for the arrest of the guilty parties, and the county commis sioners announced that they would pay the balance of $200. After Gowan had been struck down and shot through the right lung he was bound and gagged and dragged a con siderable distance and then dropped through a trap door Into the basement under the store. His assailant or assail ants then rifled the cash register, but how much they obtained will probably never be known. Gowan. who was a native born Chi nese, came here from San Francisco several years ago. His Chinese name was Go Wong, but he had it changed by the courts to Frank Gowan. He has a brother in San Francisco. So far as the police have been ablo to learn, two young men about S3 or 24 years of age were seen to enter the store about the time the crime is sup posed to have been committed and were seen to leave a few minutes later, ap parently in a hurry. The description i furnished the police by two men and a woman was , meagre. Coroner Hughes will hold an inquest Monday. Kansas Gitys Both Appeal for Troops To Keep Eoads Open Kansas City, Mo., -Nov. 2. (U. P.) Mayor Cowgill and Mayor Mendhall. representing Kansas ' City, Mo., and City, Kan., tonight sent calls to the gov ernors of Missouri and Kansas asking immediate dispatch of federal troops to keep open the railroad terminals and al low trains to run. An "outlaw strike" of 1500 switchmen on practically all roads entering here, instituted late today, and which threatened to stop shipment of much-needed coal and fuel, was the reason for the request for troops. The troops, if sent, will be used to protect switchmen who remained at work and any volunteers who may be placed in the yards, officials said. fjj' S' -ea r 'Xt I t ' -T " ' 'Sv : V f ' v H lit, ; .VV V -r- - v tire.

"1 am absolutely innocent of any wrongdoing. My friends know it Washington knows it. It will be proved I had no mo tive for collusion with bandits. The books of my business will show that I was prosperous and did not .need the ransom money." William O. Jenkins. American consular agent at Puebla. sent this message to the people of the United States through the United Press today from the Mex ican federal -penitentiary here. "I also wish to deny vigorously the local insinuation that any alleged action was aimed to promote intervention. Jenkins continued. "I do not favor in tervention. MEXICAN CHARGE RIDICULED "For one reason it would damage my business here. I will not provide bail until the American state department orders me to, because that would mean protraction, with possibly no defnite settlement. Thus far no date for a trial has been set.' It was Jenkins' fir3t interview with an American correspondent since his arrest on charges of collusion with Mex ican bandits who kidnaped him October 19, and held him for ransom. His arrest followed almost immediately after his release upon payment of the ransom. Jenkins appeared In the best of health and seemed to be given excellent treat ment by the Mexican officials. WIFE SEES HIM DAILY He was confined in a large room. formerly an office, on the second floor of the old stone prison, whose ponderous walls have housed scores of Mexican prisoners.

The American said he was well treated and that a peon prisoner cleaned the room daily. "So many of my friends come In, I'm unable to give any attention to my bus! ness," he' said, smilingly, as the cor respondent entered. .

The train, inbound, was only two miles north of Oswego and running slowly on the trestle skirting Elk Rock when the dirt and rocks began falling. Boulders caused the fuse to blow out and the train stopped under the rock shower for nearly a minute, passengers declare. Windows were broken, the roofs caved, and aisles littered with debris. With one woman fainting, others shriek ing. Engineer B. A. Rohse and Conductor J. H.

MURED Opera "Faust 99 Causes Fuss Among Chorus Near Altercation Ensues at The Dalles When Members Refuse to Sing Soldiers' Song. The Dalles. Nov. 29. Because the word "fatherland" appeared In an opera rehearsed by The Dalles chorus, a near serious altercation occurred between members. Certain members refused to sing the sol diers' chorus from the opera "Faust," asserting the opera should not be sung by patriotic Americans and was a slap at the soldier of the United States, who fought the Huns. Other members of the chorus de fended the music, explaining that the selection was written by a French composer, and, therefore, could not possibly be of German or igin. "The fact that the same piece Is being rendered every week in Paris should in itself be sufficient to show that criticism in this case is wholly unfounded," reads the explanation by the executive com mlttee of the chorus. "The composer, Gounod, was born a Frenchman. It was decided to eliminate the composition from our program, but In doing so the chorus does not wish to convey the idea that there was any wrong committed in the selection of the song. The con ductor. Paul Petri, of Portland, has the confidence of every member of The Dalles chorus." -"Faust" has raised a fuss before. it happened In France 60 years ago. The first performance of "Faust" was given in Paris ln! 1859. and George De libes, the-' famous French composer, was the chorusmaster. Gounod having de parted from the accepted style of music, resulted In an organized hostile cabal and great excitement attended each per formance. For 12 or 13 nights the strug gle between the two factions those who approved the new departure and those who opposed it continued, and the pre fect of police was at very performance ready to intervene at any moment should the two factions come to blows. But it was not the soldiers' chorus that proved the bone of contention, nor the equally famous waits. Both of these features were approved. The soldiers' chorus and the concluding trio were en cored. All of the other scenes, even that where the moon was made to rise over the garden scented with real flow ers, were hissed. It was two years afterward, when Leoncavallo ventured on a revival, that the triumph of the masterpiece was as sured beyond what was then consid ered, doubt or discussion.
