Ftor W.;Wf Bak appeared
: fore the council o behalf of some of
" the hotel owners -who were served:
" wltb official notice to make ? the re
eujred changes, and urged that as the
Portland hotel ease is scheduled for
a hearing In .the circuit" court next

If the city wins this case, he will
promptly fee a writ -of Injunction,

Members of the city council strongly
expressed their sentiments regarding
..present conditions in a number of
hotels of Portland and tht danger to
' faumtn ike were fires to break out. :
' I ; shudder to think of the blood
that would be on somebody's head if
a fire- should break out in the Port
land hotel." declared Commissioner
Blgtlow. ThU is a condition that has
been discussed many times, and- I
think it ts p to-this council to take
every possible step, to protect htrraan
lives. : I think a, separate case should
bei made against the Portland hotel
'. for every day It operates without eotn
plyliig wltb the building code."
Commissioner Barbur declared he
didn't want to take the responsibility
"of permitting certain hotels of Portland
- to continue to operate without comply
JUag with the city's laws . regarding
eafeguarde, and favored, making ar
rests in all cases where compliance is
not made within 10 days,
v " '"We have had a severe lesson In As
toria, as it now lies in ashes." said
Barbur. "That city was warned by
the state fire marshal only a short
ilrae before its great fire of what would
happen tinder the then existing condi-
tiens if a fire should get beyond eon
' trol, but it rested in apparent security.
We should profit by the lesson of As
toria." .

from her : rooms, but begged for leni
ency, claiming she bad been trapped

mony a- both aides the . judge said
he ; doubted the woman's story, but
would, give her the benefit of bis
doubt and not send her to Jail, He
Imposed s $250 fine.
"I am satisfied that " the only ; way
te enforce the prohibition law, espe
cially as regards" those who engage
In sellipg liquor. Is to Impose jail
sentences.", said the court.

WILSON'S IDEA
(Coatxeoed Froaa Pas Oae)
la not a controversy between Isolation
and Internationalism : is afforded in
Mr. Borah's speech in the senate on
Wednesday when he said: .
"I look upon the question' of dealing
with the economic problems as dis
tinctly at this time as an American
Question, not - exclusively so but in
clusively so. - It has reached the point
where we are as deeply concerned and
ultimately to be quite as much affect-J
ed by the situation as any European
power. -
Ifoixow wttsoar
"It can no longer be said that In
dealing with these matters we are .deal
ing exclusively with European ques
tions. It Is quite as ranch, and 4n , some
respects quite as seriously an Ameri
can question as the question ef war
was In the spring of J17. If we are
to .believe the. reports which, come to
us 'from every . Quarter. not only tn
Europe, but In-the Usieed States, the
economic problems nave now reached
the point where they are of practical
concern to the people of the United
States. It is now an American problem-
We are suffering and sufferina
greatly.' ..
The foregoing speech is -rotable be
cause It marks an evorution m the
American senate, i President Wilson
and bis followers made that very ar
gument : when "they '.uraed ratification
of the Versailles treaty they claimed
tnat a proper settlement of the eco
nomic situation f the world made It
Incumbent on America to playjui ac
tive part in world affairs . c
CHANGE FROHT .
Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor
nia says that what Mr. Borah Is advo
eating -today is exactly the line of ar.
gument taken by Mr. Wilson. Eo d:
others who see In" MrC Borah's speech
a change of front. But after ell, even -.
Mr. Borah himself admits-that the!
whole problem is not whether an eco
nomic conference should be called to
consider armament - and reparations
but the method of treating the ques
tion itself. :- -
There has been a shake-up an ere
lution. a rearrangement of viewpoints
on the part of various members Of the
senate, but the real root ef the mat
tor Is hot the merits of the question
of cooperation With Europe at ail. It's
whether the ? president or congress
should conduct America's foreign rela
UOtt. V: :i ; :,:1:;-.vs -; V
Stimulated by the active "part taken
by, the senate tn voicing its opinions
by resolution, round robin and numer
ous speeches at the very time when an
American president was negotiating a
treaty, Mr. Borah sees bo harm in of
f ering resolutions bow advising an
other American president What to dd
and how to de it. .
. But Mr. Lodge, as Republican leader
and spokesman of President Uardingi
objects. And with him are lined up the
Supporters of Mr. Harding, who, how
ever, as contrasted with Mr. Wilson's
ease, ha a majority of his own party
tn the senate something Mr. Wilson
asked the country to give him In the
autumn of lilt sO that he could Con
duct the foreign relations bf the conn
try without embarrassment of party
pontics
WAJTT8 niE( BAK1 ,
'- Tbe pendulum swings back. The em
barraasmenta of having so much of
congress to dial with that the delicate
questions of foreign policy are Viewed
.with alarm by Mr. feodge himself, who
told the senate on - Wednesday that
"The final power tn regard to negotia
tion rests and most rest with the pres
ident '- . v'.." '.:.;..-; V :
- He added that the president is ."not
bound by any action or advice We may
offer in regard te -fiegetiatlona any
more than -the senate is beund, when
a treaty comes within it JurisdlcUon,
to accept the advice of th president.'
Mr. odgS 'pleaded for a free hand
for the executives, e Three , years ago
the ry .was that the chief executive
waa committing the country to a course
