upon their homes, were presented
by Alderman E. A. Rhoten and
referred to the airport and drain
age committees and the-city engi
neer. Mr. Rhoten said the area In
question had always been flooded
in wet periods, but that possibly
the change in runoff due to the
airport drainage had increased the
amount of water flowing into this
area.
Petition for the lowering of the
drain in block 4, Willamette addi
tion, and Walnut Park addition,
was denied. Chairman Henry Van
devort of the sewer committee re
porting that City Engineer Hugh

City Council Transacts Its
Business in Record Time
Monday Evening
Whether Alderman W. H. Dan
cy, will or will not become a can
didate for mayor is still uncer
tain but It's a practical certainty
that If he does, most of the pres
ent aldermen will vote for him.
If for no other reason, they'd
vote for him because It would
give them more time to spend at
home. Alderman Dancy presided
Monday night in the absence of
Mayor LIvesley and in some
thing less than an hour the meet
ing was over.
'Tia true that there wasn't any
great volume of business to tran
sact, but "Mayor" Dancy hustled
through the order of business at a
record pace.
The meeting ended so soon that
the aldermen didn't know what
to do with themselves, and hung
around the council chamber for
half an hour longer so as not to
go home too scandalously early.
incidentally, the council dis
covered Monday night that while
the elected mayor is out of town.
there is no one who can legally
tafce his place except as presiding
officer of the council.
The city charter provides for
filling the "office of recorder tem
porarily, but' not that of mayor.
If Important papers are to be
signed or some other emergency
arises requiring the action of the
city's chief eiecutive, a serious
situation may arise.
It was suggested that a char
ter amendment might be submit
ted to the voters remedying this
oversight.

prove that "the nation should

arms are a cause of the fear and

her father had been very cruel

TUFT AS JUSTICE
Former Secretary of State
To Be Chief Member of
Supreme. Court
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. (AP)
William Howard Taft resigned
today as chief justice of the Unit
ed States and President Hoover
promptly nominated Charles
Evans Hughes to succeed him.
Despite his failing health, the
sudden voluntary ending ef the
public career of Mr. Taft with its
span of 40 years, came as a pub
lic surprise, but little more so
than did the selection of the form
er secretary of state as his suc
cessor.
The resignation of the only
man to be both president and
chief Justice was presented to the
president just before noon by a
son, Robert A. Taft. He had
brought it to Washington from
Asheville, where Mr. Taft had
been resting for three weeks after
a recurrence of an old organic ail
ment.
Successor Chosen
As Soon as Possible
Accepting the resignation with
reluctance, Mr. Hoover determin
ed to name a successor as speedi
ly, aa possible to avoid delay In
handling the business of the court.
He located Mr. Hughes in New
York by long distance telephone,
offered him the post and there
was a prompt acceptance.
The nomination Immediately
was prepared and transmitted to
the senate 60on after 4 p. m.,
prompt confirmation Is looked for
with the expectation that Mr.
Hughes will take his place as
chief justice wtihin the very near
future.
From the moment of the an
nouncement of the resignation of
Mr. Taft until the nomination of
Mr. Hughes was sent to the sen
ate, the belief had been fairly
general in both official and su
preme court circles that Associate
Justice Harlan Flske Stone would
be elevated to the highest judi
cial post in the country.
Excitement Ore? '
Successor Prevented
By speedily filling the post, the
chief executive cut short specula

Collapses Due to
Pressure
Iralta Goes to Bottom
in Fifteen Feet
of Water
PORTLAND, Ore.. Feb. 3. -(AP)
Shifting river ice todaj
claimed two vessels in the Willa
mette and Columbia rivers. The
steamer N. R. Lang, locked in Ue ;
Columbia near Vancouver, Was.,
since January 16, was partially
submerged when her hull collaps
ed under pressure of the shifting
ice while the tug Iralta sank at
Hosford Transportation company's
dock here.
The Lang, carrying a cargo of
paper worth $30,000, was bound
from Camas, Wash., to this city
when she became locked in the
ice. All efforts since that time to
remove her failed. Today the Ice
began tp disintegrate and the
Lang began to settle.
Her crew of six men walked
ashore across the ice. It was not
known tonight whether her cargo
could be salvaged. Only her bow
and superstructure could be seen
above the shifting Ice late today.
The Lang is owned by the
Western transportation compaey
of this slty.
The Iralta had been out of com
mission and in view of recent icci
conditions had been carefully
watched, but without warning ear
ly today began to settle. She rests
in about 16 feet of water.
Preparations were being made
tonight to raise the vessel and it
was believed the work would be
started tomorrow. It was believed
an Intake valve froze during the
cold and cracked, permitting wa
ter to flood the hull after the ice
broke up.
