Weather Conditions. lEor Rnsf aA unrra.a l

Generally fair weather has prevailed and now continues in nearly all districts though a barometric depression disappearing off the New England coast has caused light precip- itation in that region, and depression of Mississippi Valley has caused brisk to high winds along the northern border. with light cipitation has also occurred over the north Pacific Coast region. A ridge of relatively high barometric pressure extending from Southern Texas to the lower Lake region will cause continued fair and pleasant weather fin this section tonight and Tuesday. Another high barometer area over the upper Plateau region Is giving moderately cold weather in the mountain districts of the West.

WOULD BUY STRIP FROM CITY
owner of Harvard Military School
Needs More Frontage-Land
Part of Street

Grenville G. Emery, head master OF
the Harvard Military school, has asked
the city to sell him a strip of land thirty
feet wide and seventy-six and one-half
feet long. which now forms a part OF
Eighteenth street and adjoins the
southwestern corner of the school CAM
pus.
Mr.. Emery owns the entire tract
bounded by Sixteenth and Eighteenth
streets and western avenue and ST.
Andrews place. Eighteenth street from
Western avenue to within seventy-six
feet of st. Andrews place is but thirty
feet wide, but from that point west
ward is sixty feet wide. This makes a
jog in Mr.. Emery's property and it is
to give it an even frontage that he
wishes to buy the land.
AS the land which he desires to buy
is a portion Of dedicated street, MEM
bers Of the council are Of the opinion
that the city has no power to sell it.

TIES UP OWENS RIVER
BOND ISSUE FUNDS
AUDITORS STAND FORCES CITY
TO BORROW CASH
Water Commission Advances Fund
to Tide Over Extremity, Which Is
Entered as Loan to a City
Official

city Auditor Schwaebe Is taking 2.
hand in the settlement of the board
OF public works question and has tied
UP all the funds left of the last Owens
river bond issue, amounting to about
100000, until he receives an opinion
from the city attorney on the legal
ability of the council to draw on these
funds. He has refused to honor a
draft for $2400 voted by the council to
take up options in the Owens river val
ley and the water commission has had
to step into the breach.
A week ago Monday Assistant CITY
Attorney Goudge, who is handling the
owens river cases exclusively, appeared
before the council and asked that body
to turn over $2400 in order that GER
tain important options might be taken
up. The council cheerfully voted the
money, but when the draft was pre-
sented to the city auditor he refused
to honor 1t until he had heard from
the city attorney.
He sent for Mr.. Mathews and laid
the case before him. Mr.. Mathews
advised him to refuse to honor the
draft until an opinion could be rem
dered on the councils privileges in
handling the Owens river funds
In its dire extremity the council
turned TO the water commission for
aid and readily succeeded in borrowing
the $24O0, but as soon as it was loaned
the water commissioners let it be un-
derstood that that would be about all,
thank you. The entry appears on the
commissions books as a loan to As
sistant City Attorney Goudge.
The charter amendment providing
for the board of public works contem-
plates that this body shall handle the
big water project and the council has
nothing more to do with it.
This will probably hasten a decision
by the council on the mayors recent
appointees to the board which is ex-
pected to he 4 refusal to consider these
men and an invitation to name three

MAYOR SIGNS HEsITA1!NeLY
Holds Up Some Street Ordinances
co-operates With Contractors
on others

Forty-three ordinances. most of them
ordinances OF intention for public Inn
provements, were sent from the office
Of the mayor to the city clerk yester-
day, all Of them bearing the signature
of the chief executive.
a few ordinances OF intention which
Include n clause ordering the city
clerk to advertise for bids for the work,
are still held by the mayor. this be-
ing on the advice Of Assistant city At
torney Hewitt, who declares it is the
duty of the board Of public works to
advertise for bids
In addition to these the mayor has
refused to sign several ordinances
granting permission for improvements
by private contract These ordinances
propose Improvements on Westmore-
land avenue and Forty-hfth, Forty
sixth and Forty-seventh streets. If the
holding Of these ordinances is legal
the mayor has scored point over the
council, as that body has contended the
mayor has no power to hold UP work
planned by private contract.
In all his actions in the case the
mayor has taken the advice Of the city
attorney and the refusal to sign the
private contract ordinances Is on the
advice Of the city attorneys office.
In spite of the fact that Assistant
City Attorney Hewitt was positive in
MS opinion that 1t was the duty Of the
mayor to sign the ordinances Of inten-
tion to which he affixed his signature
yesterday morning, the mayor was un-
convinced and signed all documents in
the presence of witnesses to protect his
own and the citys interests in case
question of their legality should be
raised.
He has announced his willingness to
sign all awards of contract now before
MIN In every case where the contractor
will waive all claims to damages
against the city If the awards are found
Illegal and several contractors have
taken advantage of this decision.

Mr.. LANES WARNING

Mr.. franklin X. Lane, speaking for
San Francisco TO the members of the
Portland chamber of commerce, who
are en- route to Los Angeles, addressed
few words of warning" that are
worthy Of reproduction here. Among
other things Mr.. Lane said:
Tomorrow you start for city many
of you know not, the City of the
Angels. BE not deceived by the name.
Put not too much trust in 1t. In this
city you may scatter, but in the Sunny
South you must keep together. 1 ad-
wise you to return to Portland in a
body. lest you leave some of the num-
ber on the sand dunes of Southern
California. Sirens there you will meet
who touch a seductive harp and sing
song of a Portland suburb of Los
Angeles"
And Mr.. Lane is about right, as
figures to becloud his sense or the
fitness of things. The Los Angeles
sirens don't sit out on sand dunes.
They are usually well clothed and If
they go out at all it is to occupy the
cooling shades Of orange trees, to bask
III lne SUNSHINE, OF 10 sing III lne
shadow of the palms.
But the seductive character of Los
Angeles-as Mr.. Lane knows and as
he endeavors to state in language that
would not excite riot in San Fran
cisco--lies not in siren songs, which
lure to destruction, but in the natural
song Of the south. which is of climate
unrivaled in the world. of material re-
source, OF great upbuilding and of de-
velopment so vast and so full of fu-
ture possibilities as to be immeasur-
able. Against these invincible at
fractions Mr.. Lane sounded his hu-
morous note of warning, knowing full
well that IL the Portland chamber of
commerce ever reach Los Angeles a
large number OF its membership will
eettle here, invest in real estate, re-
move their lares and penates from the
rain-soak of the north and set them
up again beneath the aforesaid orange
and the palm.
Mr. Lane knows what this siren song
means. He visits Los Angeles rarely,
and only for a day at a time and
gives as his reason tine fear that ii
he remained here a week he never
would go away.

Evening Newspapers Call to Arms in
Ascot Case Finally Bears
Fruit

For some days n Los Angeles evening
newspaper in its fight against Ascot
park has published the photographs
of three of the county supervisors,
their names, addresses and telephone
numbers, with instructions to the people
of Los Angeles to call up these men and
let them know about Ascot gambling.
The three members of the board are
Chairman Charles Patterson and Su-
pervisors Peter Wilson and Al Graham.
In spite of the ostensble notoriety
given the three members by this con-
tinuous reiteration, the only letter thus
far received was handed to Chairman
Patterson by the postman yesterday
morning. The letter was on plain paper
and had Patterson's picture cut out
of the evening paper and pasted at
the top. Underneath was the follow
ing, but there was no signature
"Do you know this man? Two thou

friends are"
II would not take ten dollars for that
letter." said Patterson yesterday. "To

Shakespearean literature this subject
Is not new one, but to the world at
large many will ask the question,
"How was Shakespeare an apostle of
Christianity" The Elks who will at
tend Mr.. Warde's lecture this evening
In body, since their conception as a
secret order have known that in both
Elkdom and Shakespeare's doctrines
there is much of Christianity. Mr..
Warde has made a thorough study of
this subject and will take examples
from Henry VIII, Hamlet, Henry v,
Richard III, the Merchant of Ven

characters to show that Christianity
exists In many places in the works OF
the immortal Bard of Avon"
