Vs'ilL TAKE 13 WEEKS 10 DISPOSE OF "Warrants Totaling $250,000 and Sewer Refunds Amounting to $35,000 Have So Far Been Paid. REQUIREMENTS MISUNDERSTOOD BY MANY OP THE OWNERS Some Bed Tape Before Money Will Be Turned Over By City to Those Woo Are Seeking It According to a statement made this morning by City Bocorder Elgin $85, O00 of the $230,000 that is to be paid to property holdori by virtue of the eewer refund issue has been turned over to claimants to date. The warrants, -which amounted to $250,000, have all been off, and the city is no longer pay ing interest on them. This leaves claims for $195,000 yet to be settled and paid off. The claims are being attended to at the rat of about $15,000 a week, and at the present rate it will take 13 weeks before all the claims will be paid off. There has been considerable misun derstanding among the property hold ers as to what constitutes a valid claim, although the exact requirements for the establishment of a valid claim have leen printed several times. The person entitled to the refund for , any piece of property is the person who " UJ- P""B 01 proper- ty on January 2, 1912. In order to re-1 ceive the refund his affidavit that he was tho ownor at that time is not suf ficient, but the county records must show his ownership at that time to be a fact. Besides this, before bo candesiringto tench school next year should have this claim paid it is necessary for road one of the following books: Em to secure a release to all claims for this refund from all persons who lave owned the property since January 2, 1912.' Tho securing of these roloase from previous owners and the checking of the ownership of the property over in the county records is causing a large amount of the dolay in the settling of the claims.

Looking to the f 01 mat ion of a civic center, whore men of all opinions can meet on common ground to discuss social and economic questions, the Men's Liberal club was organized last night at the Unitarian church which has offered the club a home for its future meetings. 1 W.

All the speakers united in declaring that the club, while opening the d.rs to full discussion and debate of topics that are foremost in the public mind, will not take a partisan or sectarian position, and in line with this resolve, the constitution contains a clause for bidding the indorsement of any candi date for office or of any question that might lead to factional warfare. The choice of name occasioned lively debate, "Men's Liberal Club" being chosen over numerous rivals. Some wished to extend the organization to include women in the membership, but this was voted down.

Ho called oil Judge Cullowiiy Boverul times during the day to ask for details of his friend's death, nnd lust night gnvo tho judge l() to be used in a novel wny. "I want that money," said Mr. Min to, "to bo part of a fund to be used in preserving the body of my dead friend until next May, when it may be taken to Cliiiinpoog nnd buried with appro priate exercises nt tho monument.'1 Mr. Minto also delegated Judge Gal loway to represent him at tho funeral of Mr. Matthieu, announcing that he could not attend. Judge Galloway will turn tho money given by Mr, Minio over to the" Oregon Pioneer association, and explain the suggestion of Mr. Min to, that the- body be preserved. Mr. Minto is 92 years old, and, like Mr. Matthieu, has token an active part in politics. They did not agree polit ically, but were the warmest friends.

It is up to the Kansas Supreme Court to decide what a bolied beef dinner that caused indigestion is worth to its hungry vic tim in damages. The district court of Smith - county declared it was worth $1000 and gave a vordict for that amount. J. D. Man- lone, a farmhand who ate the dinner, thinks he should have $15,000, while Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. Jones, who served the meal and for whom Man lone worked, asserted the farmhand should get nothing. The case came to the supreme court today on appeal by Mr. and Mrs. Jones from the verdict of tho lower court. 10 State Labor Commissioner Hoff today handed the following statement to The Capital Journal for publication: Much adverse criticism having been made because of my determination to enforce the eight-hour law on public works the same as other laws, I desire to answer so that the work of the bu reau, which is dealing with what to day is the greatest question before tho American people the labor question, should not be hampered by wrong con clusions. The laws coming under my jurisdiction to 'enforce, like all laws, are enacted by tho people of the state, either direct through the initiative or by tho legislature I am not responsible for the same. When an act is passed it is either a good law or a faulty law, or no law at all. If a good law, it should be enforced for its value; if a faulty law it ( should be enforced that the faultB may be seen and cured; if no law at all, or its intent obscure, it is for tho supreme court to decide. "I bcliove all good men and women, on sober second thought, will realize that it is my sworn duty to seo that tho laws aro enforced. 'Trimming' by officers settles nothing. I should know what .Uio law means and the people whom it affects should know what it menus. It is my duty to enforce tho labor lnwH, nnd 1 believo tho right but notwithstanding thnt liu-t Oregon thinking people of this state, when they i is a 1,1 rK i'"l"rter of butter.

VALLEY ILL BE ILL AT FAIR At un enthusiastic meeting of the Willamette Valley association here yes- jteidny afternoon it was tho unanimous I opinion Unit the valley should be well represented lit the Panninn Pacif ic ex position, A committee was appointed to confer with the stato exposition com I mitten iu regard to obtaining space in the agricultural building, the horticul tural building and tho Oregon building.
