ASK MAYOR TO STOP
DISPLAY OF PRETTY
ANKLES ON STREETS
EXHIBITS OF HOSIERY MAY
COME UNDER BAN
"Uncle Georges" New Complaint De-
partment Furnishes Sensation.
How Council Would Vote
on Measure

The mayors new trouble department
is bringing results in an unexpected di-
rection. The last complain seems rather
unreasonable to some impressionable
young men, but sedate Mayor Alexan-
der regards it as worthy of his con-
Sideration.
Yesterday a cold-blOoded man wrote
the mayor as follows:
There ought to be an ordinance pro-
bibiting ladies from lifting their skirts
higher than twelve inches. Some east
ern cities have such an ordinance.
Il often notice ladies crossing Broad
way in front of the city hail. who take
pride in showing that there are no holes
in their stockings and that their gar
tiers match their suits. 1t is bad for
the morals of young men, and old men
cannot help rubbering."
Should the mayor ask the council to
pass such an ordinance, it is very
doubtful that five votes could be mus
tered
pop" Blanchard, of course, is a
member of the Methodist church and
has a bald spot on his head that looks
like the top of a marble table, but
Pop" has never been seen in the front
row at a variety show, and he might
vote for the ordinance.
Healy-well, Healy is long-haired,
physically. and short-haired politically.
puCIl dli blhiiiebiiSN NCUrN iCcIN ADiAS
haired to Healy and he wouldn't stand
for it a minute.
Lyon-young, impressionable and a
firm believer in women's rights; mega
tive vote from him, certainly.
Yonkin has a little bald spot but
Yonkin is liberal in his views, and if
the women want to show their pretty
ankles, why, bless their dear little
hearts, he won't stop them.
Wallace, gray-haired father of a
blooming family, pillar of the church!
He might vote for the ordinance. He
most probably would.
Wren probably would insist on an
investigation before he would vote at
all.
Clampitt would vote for the ordinance
if he could reach an agreement with
his colleagues for them to vote for an
ordinance prohibiting women from car
rying anything but pink parasols.
Drumgold undoubtedly would insis;
on q reference to the committee OF
the whole, and probably would amend
Wren's motion by having the committee
of the whole make the investigation
| President Pease could be safely
counted on to vote for the ordinance
But the mayor will not ask the coun-
ell to pass such an ordinance until he
has settled the fates of the civil service
commissioners, the members of the
library board and the water commits
sioners. He is so busy with these mat
tiers that he has not time to consider
stocsking displays and things Ike that

dus. paying teller for the Bank of Ger
many, who confessed yesterday to mis-
appropriation of funds of that bank,
is still in detinue at the city prison.
The bonding company has made good
to the bank the amount of Bogardus'
shortage.
At police headquarters today it was
stated that efforts were being made by
the family of Bogardus to make good
the shortage paid by the bonding COM
pany, and that when this was done the
case would be dropped AT the bank it
was stated that the experts at work
on the books had not completed their
tests, but it is not thought the detail
cations will go beyond $4,000, all of
which is protected by bonds. AS a re-
suit of the Investigations when the
bank first learned of Bogardus short
ages three young attaches were dis
charged. They were Harry c. Croft,

HARTMAN OFFICIALS
DENY BATTLE STORIES
Rival Railroad Surveying Crews in
Clearwater Country Are Merely
Preserving Rights

PORTLAND, April 90.-Ofeial denial
is made by local Hartman officials
that there is any titanic struggle for
the mastery of Lolo Pass or for strate-
gic rights of way for new roads through
the Clearwater country by the Hill and
Hartman people. Denial is made that
the rival surveying crews are engaged
in pitched battles in the country.
General Manager j. B. O'Brien of the
Hartman lines in the northwest gave
ont the first authentic statement as 10
the real object of the railroad activity
in that territory. From the Hartman
standpoint, according to MIR. O'Brien,
it is merely an effort on the part of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company to preserve rights already
established, and he suspects that the
same motive is behind the Northern
Pacific activity in the same field.
