FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1921. HOTEL ACCUSED OF VIOLATION OF FIRE ORDINANCE Action was started in the munici pal court Thursday afternoon by the department of public works, seeking to have the Portland hotel either to enclose all stairways and elevator Shafts according to provisions in an ordinance recently passed by the city council, or to provide additional fire escapes. After hearing the con tention of both sides. Judge Ross man took the case under advisement and announced he would render a decision in one week. Building Inspector Plummer claimed that the ordinance provided that a direct connection- must be arranged between every room and a fire s escape, or the stairways and elevators inclosed as pro vided for in the ordinance. OSLT FOXJR ESCAPES Plummer pointed out that there' are only four fire escapes, one at either end of the two long halls which pass the full length of the two wings. The ele vator shafts and stairways were not en closed, he testified. John W. Gearin, appearing for the hotel company, claimed that there is a direct connection to fire escapes, since every room opened on an unobstructed hallway which leads directly to the fire escapes at either end. He pointed out further that- the provision in the ordi nance was being violated in the police station itself, since the ordinance stated that the stairways and elevator shafts should be inclosed in all buildings over . two stories, where person's sleep. Gearin told the court It would cost the hotel company $20,000 to enclose the Stairways and shafts, or at least $800 for each new fire escape Installed. WABBA5T IS SEBTED A letter written by the department of public works after the Elton court dis aster, which stated that the ordinance was passed to avoid another similar case, was introduced as evidence. The hotel company claimed that con ditions were not the same, and that" the condition which the ordinance sought to rectify was where the hallway from rooms -did not lead directly to a fire es cape, but where the passage first passed through an ante room. The entire case centered about the meaning of the words "direct connec tion." The case was begun when a warrant was- served against Edward - Boyce, 3 07 St. 'Clair street, as the representative of the corporation, charging violation of the city orgi nance. '-.

Drilling Stopped At Oil Prospect in Astoria District Astoria, July L A gradually Increas ing pressure of gaa and seepage of oil claimed to have been noticed for the past week at the oil drilling being con ducted near Astoria is given as the reason for directors of the company ordering drilling suspended until the well can be cased with steel piping for the 2350 feet of its depth. No ef fort will be made to continue drilling until casing which has been ordered from California is set in the well. All leases held by the company, which cover 6000 acres in the vicinity of the welL were filed today with the county clerk. Joseph Myers, penologist, who spent five months inspecting the oil possi bilities of this district, and who chose the spot where the present well is being sunk, predicted that oil would be found there between 2300 and 2500 feet down.
