PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER Public Sentiment to Be Test ed Thoroughly Before X Final Action At the meeting or the city co.ncU next Monday night, an ordinance will be introduced pro. hibiting taxicabs from making their stand in front of the Oregon Electric passenger station, known as the Oregon building. About a year ago a petition was drawn up to be presented to the council wherein objection was made to taxicabs standing in front of the Oregon building, on State street. No action -was taken on the petition, and the matter was dropped. According to Alderman Floyd L. Utter there recently has been some complaint abont taxicab drivers using the street in x front of the Oregon building for their place of business. In order to be fair to all and secure the sentiment of the peo ple of; the; to wn, the ordinance will bt Introduced next Monday night at the city council meet ing. Then later a public meet ing wiU be called at which time the taxicab owners and all others interested in the problem will be asked to come and present their views. The Idea, Dr. Utter says, is to be fair to all. "If the people do not want taxis stationed on State street in front of the Oregon building, the ordinance should be passed," he sad. "If the people feel that the tail .drivers should have that space on the city streets, the or dinanee should be killed. "There has been a lot of pri vate Opinions passed around on this, as well as other matters Now we want to be fair to all and this time we intend to give every body a chance to express them Beives. opinions are wanted en the question." At previous council meetings thre have been proposals by al dermen that taxicabs be barred from all stands in the business district except at special reserva tion parking which would be p.sed by all taxicabs. Among the various plans, it was suggested at the last session that tire western curb of the court house grounds between State and Court streets be reserved for the car operators. This plan ia said to have met with the approval of many alder men. Taxtcab operators have op posed any change, holding that as taxpayers and property owners they should be allowed stands where the owners of the business places have given their consent. "We; should be accorded the same parking privileges as that allowed to other car owners who do not make their living by this work and yet leave their cars on the streets for long periods of time," asserted W. W. Zinn, one operator, addressing councilmen at a recent meeting. Portland Butter Drops 3 Cents a Pound Today PORTLAXD. Feb.. 1.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva. successor of John Alexander Dowie as overseer of Zion and head of tr-e Chiistian Apostolic church, has completed the fixing 6t dimensions of his flat world, existence of which Is now taught in the Zion schools. According to Mr. Voliva's latest pronouncement, the sky is a vast dome of solid material, from which the sun, moon and stars are hung like chandeliers. The edges of the dome, he explained, rest on tne wall of ice which surrounds the flat world to keep fool-hardy mariners from tumbling over the eage. "That is the plain teacbingof the whole world of God, he said, "that the heaven, the dome, the vauit, like a tent, is a solid strtac mre over the earth and all the ughts are set within the firma ment. Ezekiel says 'the throne of uou is above the vault. The firm anient above our head Is a solid structure, and the stars are points oi light, that is all. They ate not worlds, they are not suns. So- caiied science Is a lot of silly rot and so is so-called medical science and all the rest of their so-called sciences." I MORE flEREE ON . HOUR TO GLDS WORLD IS FLAT DECLARES 111 L TREAT! Secretary Hughes Compares Provisions of Document With Those First Offered At Conference. SESSION DOMINATED BY SPIRIT OF PEACE Navai Status of Nations Set Frth in Detail by Secre tary of State WASHINGTON, Feb. I. (By The Associated Press) in his presentation of the naval treaty at tho plenary s?8sion, secretary Hughes declared, that although there had been changes of detail as to ships, "the plan proposed on behalf of the American govern ment has been maintained ana tne spirit in which that proposal was made and in which it was received has dominated the entire negotia tions and brought them to a very successful conclusion. Proposal Analyzed He analyzed the American pro posal in comparison with the final treaty agreement, saying in part: 'That proposal set forth 18 ships to be retained ty the United States with a tonnage of 500,650 tons. In this treaty the ships are to be retained. In that proposal there was set forth 22 capital ships to be retained by the British emire under the treaty. the same number of rihips is to be retained; in fact, the same ships with the single substitution of the Thundered for the Erin, with a tonnage of. 580,450 tons, as against the calculation in the pro posal of 604,450 tons for ships re tained. ' Japanese Scrap Setsu In the case of Japan, the pro posal set forth 10 ships to be re tained. By the treaty the same number of ships Is to be retained, the difference being that the Mit- su is to be retained and the Setsu is to be scrapped. The tonnage re tained by Japan, as indicated in the proposal, was 299.700. "The tonnage retained, under the treaty is 301,320. Four general principles were stated as the principles which. In the opinion of the American gov ernment, the limitation should be effected. These were: 1 That all capital shin build ing programs either actual or pro jected, should be abandoned. "2 That further reduction should be made through the scrap ping of certain of the older ships. That in general retard should be had to the evlstln? naval strength of the powers con cerned; and ' That the capital ship ton nage should be used as the meas urement of strength for navies and a proportionate allowance of i'r) comoaiani crart pre scribed. Capital Irogram Abandoned "Those principles have been applied and govern the agree ments set forth in the treaty with theso exceptions: That in the case of c ranital ship building programs, all nro- prams are abandoned by the United States, the British empire and Japan, save for the comple tion of the two ships of the West Virginia class in the case of the United States and the building of two ships as stand in the case of the British empire upon the com pletion or which in the ope case two of the old ships retained by the United States are to be scrap ped and in the other case four ships retained by the British em pire are to be scrapped. "There is another exception In the fact that there is no provision in the treaty for the allowance of auxiliary combatant craft: but with respect to the caDita! shio program it is in the essence main tained and these principles have been applied. Early Proposal Recalled "Let me further call your at tention to this and I state it merely to avoid any possible pub lic misapprehension and in order that discussion of the matter may proceed Intelligently. The pro posal that I had the honor to make November 12 1 said this: 'The United States proposes, if the plan is a compromise: " '1 To scrap all capital ships, now under construction.

Henry Oren burg, the other alternate, declined to express an opinion, although -be congratulated the defense on its showing. Xo Argument Mad An outstanding feature Was the announcement by the defense that it would submit the case without argument. The announce ment came at the conclusion 'of the first closing argument of the prosecution, made by Milton ;T. U'Ren, assistant district attorney. It had the effect of shutting off further argument by the prosecu tion as, under the law, such fur ther argument can only be a re buttal or the: final defense sum ming up. Arbuckle, jovial and apparently carefree most: of the day was vis ibly nervous when the Jury re tired. 4 More Witnesses Heard Today's sessions ended with the conclusion of the prosecution's re AND HOT RULE HEREAFTER The practice of the governor in issuing commissions and badges to special agrnts has proved so much a source of complaint to the office and a cause for annoyance through abuse of privileges grant ed,4 that the commissioning of spe cial agents henceforth will be the exception rather than the rule.--One Agent Paid This is made known in a let ter that has been sent out by Gov ernor Olcott to all persons who have held agents' commissions and to sheriffs and police officers of the state. At present only one special agent is in state pay. Special agents have been used in the past particularly for enforce ment of the prohibition laws. No commissions have been issued or reissued since Uerember 31. ; In his letter Governor Olcott sets forth the following conditions that will govern the appointment of special agents: "1. Any application coming from any county official, either for himself or for some other per son, must be accompanied by the recommendations of the district attorney, sheriff and county court or county judge. This office re serves the right to reject such ap plications, even when accompan ied by such recommendations, fn event it beliei'es the public may be better served or protected by so doing.
