Leaving for Huron, 8. D., where
he will srxak Thursday, Seeretarj
Hurley thus will not be forced to
' vote against his mnvlctiona when the
bonus question comes on the conten
tion floor Wednesday or Thursday.
Frank and outspoken oppouent of
such rsynrtrt, he nevertheless waa
aeated ft delegate in the Oklahoma
depar'Uhe, representation and had
dCA'lareo that since Oklahoma la In
structed to vote in favor of Immedi
ate rash payment, he would abide by
tha expressed attitude of legion
vjairaa of that state and would vote
as 1fcey had dictated.
Would Deter Bonus
While the gorgeous assembly ef
marching units, bands and drum corps
turned Portland streets into canyons
running with great streams vivid with
all colore and gleaming with much
ehining metal; while thousands pack
ed themselves into Portland's stadium,
and other thousands lined the streets
for a view of the greatest spectacle
the city ever saw, there was in sev
eral quartera activity of another nat
ure as those "steering" the conven
tion spoke of unanimity and com
promlae. Overwhelmingly In favor of immed
iate cash payment of the bonus, the
legion membership nerertbelesa will
be asked that action on thia matter
be deferred. There was no doubt as
to the report the sub-committee would
bring in, Its membership Including
five men definitely pledged to immedl
t ate psyment, and four men openly
opposed to such payment. This five
to four report advocating Immediate
payment will be made to the general
legislative committee tomorrow.
May Compromise
Robert W. Reed of Kanaaa City,
member of the sub-committee, de
clared today that there la aom hope
of a compromise on tha question and
the Missouri delegation ia working
diligently for their proposal to defer
action on the bonus matter until the
next convention.
Nebraska, likewise, la strenuously
attempting to enlist aid In opposition
to bonus payment, and for their can
didate for national commander, 8am
Reynolds, staunch opponent of such
payment. J F. McDermott, com
mander of tho Omaha poet, aald today
that la reply to his telegram of yes
terday asking presidential candidates
for their position oa bonua payment,
Norman Thomas, socialist candidate,
replied be waa opposed to general
payment at this time.
Hurley, Gibbons Clash
Hurley dashed with Floyd Gibbons,
war correspondent and author, during
a dinner given by Henry It Stevens,
JrH national commander of the legion,
last sight.
Gibbons criticised the methods used
by tha administration in ejecting the
a E. F. from their billeta in Wash
ington, D. C. Ho accuiej the army
of having started the fires and said
tha bonus seekers had been orderly
when tho troops ware called In.
Hurley said he bad not intended to
talk on the subject, but that he felt
he should reply to Gibbons' chsrges.
He insisted the fires were started
by the bonus army itself and aaid the
use of regular troopa waa necessitat
ed by diaordera too aerious for civil
authorities to cope with.
"I have never failed to take it on
the cbln when I had anything com
ing," Hurley aaid, "If you have any
thing to ssy to me, say itl 1 never
thought the government waa in dan
ger. I have always believed the people
of this nation beve a peaceable way
for aettlement of their disputes snd
that they will use those peaceful
methods. But when there are riots,
peace must be restored."
He reviewed the orders issued by
the war department under direct In
structions from the president.
"Now, can ynu find any fault with
Ihose orders?" he queried. "Are they
unjustly bsrsh? I ordered out the
armed forces of the government to
protect the marchers ss well as
others."
"Ther were men among that
group In Washington who came In an
orderly way to state their case, for
whom 1 would lay down by life to
protect. There were wonderfully fine
men amnng them. Hut there were
other mn there, loo. All were not
angels. And I wsnt to tell jou that
this Is a government of a majority,
snd not a gorernmet of a raioorliy."
Ougouli Raided
Meanti hile proprietors of soft
drink parlors converted to "dug-outs"
by the sdditinn of miiatlon lng fronts
and rear alcohol to the beverages on
asle discovered thst federsl and city
authorities had not declsred a mora
torium on the prohibition law.
When a series of raids were over,
the drs hnd confiscated hundreds of
e'siitvns of lienor, arrested a number
of proprietors hut no legionnslres.
The local federsls were assisted by
a suusd from riesttle.
Never before hnd 1'orllsnd seen
S'lrh a sight as the 411 snd 8 psrede
which was viewed by rrest throngs of
persons last night. For two hours a
aeemintly endless stream of ex-servicemen,
members of the 40 and f
fun and service group, in a rainbow
of colors, marching with apparently
an inexhaustible variety of drum corps
and bands, entertained Ihqusamls of
residents and visitors who lined the
downtown streets. From color hesr
ers and national champion band of
Fargo, N. I)., at the lend to the Isst
of the floats, the parade was cheered.
One of (lie most popular drum corps
In thia psrade waa that from l.a

THE EUGENE EEGISTEE-QU ARD-
CITY COUNCIL
STORY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
other tales of the sort, was passed
by tbe council after too third road
inf. The $21,500 sewer bunds were or
dered sold to the Virst National bank
of Kugene and the United (States Na
tioual bank of Kuifene, whose com
bined bid was at par value, 5 per
cent Interest. This, according to the
councilmen, Is an unusually attrac
tive bid in view of the present bond
market conditions.
A. delegation from the Woodmen of
the World lodge waa present to pro
test a rulinf .by the city engineer
which the jroup claimed will hold up
construction of the new Woodman
hall at Eighth and Lincoln. The ob
jection waa voted overruled by the
council in order that the work can
proceed.
"Mala Event" Warm
An ordinance to prohibit the rais
ing of bees in the cifcy waa given tbe
first reading. Other minor biils were
taken up.
Tbe "main event" of the evening
was the anti-vegetable dumping or
dinance, however. The city council
committee reported thut it favored
tabling the bill. This was taken as a
signal for action and Fred Chambers,
president of the agricultural division
of the chamber of commerce stood
up and spoke in favor of the ordin-.
ance, urging Its immediate adoption
as a relief measure for the farmers
of the vicinity.
He was followed by Ray Ityan, of
tbe Pacific Fruit and Produce com
pany, who quoted from an editorial
published in Kalph and Stanley's ad- '
vertiement in the Kegister-Uuard
Monday which said the ordinance was
designed to give the produce company
a monopoly. Ryan denied this impli
cation and told what was beina; done
to stop trucking of produce, in other
states. j
Swafford Challenges !
"Attorney Swafford Is here tonight !
to oppose the ordinance," Ryan said. 1
"I am aura we have n.aile a much :
deeper study of this condition thau '
Mr. Swafford could possible have ;
made." j
The attorney appeared perturbed at
this, tossing down his hat in annoy
ance.
E. G. Harlan, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, was next to '
speak. He urged the adoption of the ;
ordinance as a pledge of faith on the
part of Eugene towards tbe farmers
of the state. He spoke of the damage
b ing done the growers of the district
by truckers who haul in produce rais
ed by Japanese and Mexican labor in
other states.
Attorney Swafford interrupted the
socretary'a remarks aud challenged
Harlan's statements concerning the
shipment of vegetables going out of
Lane county and Mayor EUsha Large
rapped for order.
Eugene's "Tammany"
The attorney, who represents the
trucking interests opposed to tbe or
dl-ance, took the fluor following liar
Jan's talk. He disclaimed any animo
sity towards the chamber of com
merce, saying he enjoys the distiuc
tion of being the only member out
of not on aome committee. He
stated, however, that a feeling exists
in certain quarters that the chamber
is an "exalted Tammany hall."
"The chamber of commerce ia sug
gesting that our grocerymen caouot
handle their own business,'' he said.
"Why doesn't the chamber start a
school for grocerymen ?"
This brought a burst of applause
from the anti-ordinance rooting sec
tion. Swafford then attacked the
"tfteam roller tactics" of the cham
ber, t
Consumers Pretest
F. G. Reese, 000 Orchard street,
spoke aa an ex-farmer and appealed
to the city council not to pass tbe or
dinance. He said it would raise the
price of commodities aad tax an
already overburdened group of un
employed people. J. S. Bond, 19S0
Villa rd, spoke as a consumer and also
made an appeal for a vote against the
measure.
Mrsi Sarah Hoffman, a housewife.
drew the biggest applause of the eve
mng when she appeared on behalf of
Eugene housewives who, she said,
have trouble enough balancing the
family budget without having the
price of fruit and vegetables raised.
The federati n of women's clubs
was also represented and took a
stand against the measure.
After both aides had spolVi, the
councilmen again took np the com
mittee's suggestion that tbe ordinance
be tabled, and voted to lay the mat
ter over.
Bee Ban Up
The minor business of the council
included the first reading of an anti
bee ordinance. This ordinance, ori

ginally drafted to define two or more
hives as a commercial veuture, and a
nuisance within the city .will prob
ably be amended to exclude all bees

Z um wait spoke on behalf of the
measure, saying many hives of bees
in the city are placed near tbe aide
walks and constitute a real menace.
Application for & light in the alley
between Twelfth ..nd Thirteenth ave
nues and l'.itterson and Ferry was
approved. It was also voted to Install
lights at the went entrance to the
city on Railruad boulevard.
Two claims for daag against the
city were referred to the judiciary
committee. One claim Is of $1,236.40
by Thoaa Hatfield, who slipped on a
sidewalk while walking on crutches
and suffered a fractured leg. The
other Is fur $-18 filed by Grace Rob
ert no u, who suffered an injury to her
knee when she fell on a sidewalk.
Both were referred to the judiciary
committee.
A complaint waa heard In regard
to a cottonwood tree at 1403 Viilard
street which is declared to be a nui
sance. Tbe tree ia said to shed leaves
and Btock up the sewer drain there
and it was referred to the sewer
committee.
