against the Southern Pacific company
in which it was alleged that the service
of the company from Candy to Port.
| land was inadequate and unsatisfactory
since it changed its former schedule,
the public service commission this
morning ordered that the company re-
arrange its schedule so as to accom-
modate the people there. This accommo-
dation will be met partially by having
the Coos Bay Limited stop at Candy
on its way into Portland. The hearing
was held at Candy on June and TWEEN
fty days are given in which to correct
the present situation.
An order was issued Saturday after
noon by the public service commission
relative to commercial heating, light
ing and power for the city of Portland
IN the matter of rates of the Portland
Railway, night and Power company in
which the rates were reduced on the
yearly bill from five to ten per cent.
This order is supplementary to the re-
cent order relative to the reduced
rates ordered by the commission. 1t
was found by the commission that a
competing company had taken large
portion of commercial trade away from
the Portland Railway, Light and Power
company and that the company was not
earning a reasonable per centage of in
teres6 on the investment Therefore, to
help the company regain some of its
trade and to give the consumer a re-
duced and fair rate, the general redue-
tion was ordered. 1t is expected that the
lower rate will secure more consumers
for the company while the cost will be
less.

Bernhard Has First
Ride Since Operation
Actress Refreshed by Secret
Automobile Trip of
Two Hours

Nine. Sarah Bernhard left Mount
Sinai Hospital yesterday for the first
time since she underwent severe
operation a few weeks ago. Carefully
guarded against "movie" cameras, she
was taken for two hours automobile
ride by her physician, DR.. Felix Marot,
who accompanied her on her visit TO
America. She also was accompanied
by two of her secretaries.
Nine. Bernhard entered the automo-
bile at 2 o'clock in the courtyard OF
the hospital and was driven through
an underground driveway. Such secrecy
was maintained that not even the hos
pital attendants knew she had gone
until she returned at p. m, greatly
refreshed by the drive.
At 7 o'clock her other attending
physicians. Drs. Buerger, Barouch and
Iibman visited her, and. although she
had protested that the trip might tax
her strength too greatly. she declared
she felt strong enough to make the
trip a part of her daily programme
until she had fully recuperated.

Straus Announces
He Will End Milk

AT Odds with Park Department,
He Is to Close Distrib-

Nathan Straus announced last night
that owing TO differences between nm
self and the Park Department he would
withdraw his support after this sum
mcr from the pasteurized milk distrib-
uting stations, which he has maintained
throughout the city for the last twenty
five years. This he had limited in his
remarks against the "stingy rich,
which were the climax of his impromptu
speech before the National League for
Women's Service in Miss Anne Nor
gan's home on Friday.
Park authorities insisted they were
unaware Mr.. Straus had a grievance
until they read his assertion that
commissioner Ward keeps the streets
in fine condition for the rich people.
but doesn't give d for the poor
ones"
In the absence Of Commissioner
Ward from his Office yesterday report
ers were shown copies of correspond
ence which passed between the com
missioner and Mr.. Straus in 1915.
In letter and reply Mr.. Ward had sug-
gested Mr.. Straus take over the con-
duct of park stands near his distribut-
ing stations. and the later had de-
clined, on the ground he could handle
no further henefactions.

1900 Germans Ask
Leave to Enter Zones
Federal and City Authorities
Besieged by Aliens for Per-
mits to Barred Districts

Many Germans made application yes
terday for permits TO live or work
within forbidden zones. United States
Marshal Thomas ID. Mccarthy esti-
mated that between 1920 and 1,400
blanks were distributed to those who
stood in line before his office, about
the same number a on the day before.
In addition, about 450 completed the
filling out of their blanks and took
oath that what they had set down was
the truth and nothing but the truth.
The stream of applicants has been
so continuous that Marshal Mccarthy
announced he would keep his staff on
duty to-day from 9 a. m. TO 10 tonight.
At Room 1920 in the Municipal Build
ing, where the Mayors Committee on
Aliens is seeking to make the lot Of
the Germans in the city more COM
Portable, officials explained the rules to
many aliens. Before the day was over
enough had called to bring the num-
Der for the two days up to $50. By
Monday the committee hopes to have
on the wall map of the greater city
with the forbidden zones clearly de-
fined. Until then officials can only
guess whether a given German lives or
works in one of the zones and needs
a permit Also, neither the city nor
Federal Office is sure yet whether such
a permit issued for one zone Will per-
nit the holder TO enter another
Thus far, the agents of the Depart
ment Of Justice who have been investi-
eating the applicants for permits have
passed ali but about seventy-fve, it is
understood At this rate the number
finally turned down when all have ap-
piled may reach 1000, though Marshal
Mccarthy looks for a much smaller
number. These will be the Germans
who will have to move or find new jobs,
or both.

British Mission
And u. S. Officials
Agree on Policies
Are in Accord on All Sub
jects as Conferences
Come to End

Washington, May 19.-Without a dis
agreement of the slightest character. it
is declared, the conferences between
the British mission and the United
States government have been virtually
completed.
Contrary to popular belief, the mi
tiative on all subjects was taken by the
representatives of the United States.
The British representatives, it is de-
clared, never made suggestions except
when asked. With the use of large
stats, or by working night and day,
the mission and this government have
covered all the phases Of the war prob
lens that the United States desired to
take up. and the agreements reached
have not only kept abreast of Congress,
but have anticipated legislation.
Ii was also learned that for the pres
ent, at least, the war legislative pro-
gramme has been completed, except
where measures before Congress have
not been passed The Administration,
It was stated. has no additional bills
and it will ask no more general legisla-
ton unless new problems arise.
The Administration will now bend
its energies toward putting into effect
the measures already passed and en-
ploying the extraordinary powers
granted to it by Congress. The State
Department is prepared to take up the
question of exports to neutral Euro
pean countries contiguous TO Germany
as soon as Congress passes the en-
barge act.
The entire scheme of international
trade was discussed with the British
mission. and this government was fur
nished with all the information in the
possession Of England regarding the
trade of Holland and the Scandinavian
countries. 1t is not the intention of
the State Department to impose any
hardships upon the neutral countries,
but it is tho determination Of the
United States not to permit its products
to be sold to Germany while the war
lasts. The plan devised, it is declared.
leaves no room for subterfuge by any
nation trading with America.

Subscriptions to Liberty
Loan Will Be Kept Secret
Until Books Close. June IS

Washington, May 19.-There will be
no official announcement of subscrip-
tons to the Liberty Loan until the
subscription books close, June Is. No
Official statement of the amount sub
scribed at any period prior to that
date Will be made public, and Treas
ury officials will see that no accurate
unofficial estimates are obtainable.
In announcing this decision to-day,
of1cials stated that it would be physi-
cally impossible to give out any totals
until June l5." The number of sub
scrlbers, however. will be officially an
nounced from time to time, and Treas
ury officials will have accurate infor-
nation, virtually from day to day from
the Federal Reserve banks and other
agents, after the campaign is in full
swing as to the total subscriptions in
hand.
This information will be withheld
from the public largely because of the
great amount of clerical work involved
in making the tabulations, and because
as matter Of policy it is not deemed
wise that the returns should be made
public while the actual work of obtain
ing subscriptions is in progress. OFF,
Gals want tremendous oyersubscrip-
ton, and to announce at any stage that
the bonds had been nearly subscribed.
II is felt, might result in a falling off
of subscriptions
Assurances of cooperation from the
Governors of fifteen states have been
received IN response to requests that
al official envelopes carry the red line
Your patriotic duty-buy a Liberty
Loan" Not only will the official mai!
Of the national government carry this
line, but the envelopes of state Off
Gals in these states will also until the

Washington, May 19.-In an effort
to whip the war tax bill into shape
for final passage by Tuesday night,
Democratic Leader Kitchin tonight
called special meeting of the Ways
and Means Committee for tomorrow
to consider amendments. Final dis
position will be made then, if pos
sible, Of the troublesome second class

ment taxes.
Defeat of a proposal by Represent
ative Lenroot, Of Wisconsin. to strike
out the 5 per cent light and heat tax
and adoption Of an amendment lower
ing the express transportation tax
from 10 to per cent were the out
standing results Of to-day's debate in
the House. The Lenroot proposal was
voted down-58 to 116-despite the
fact that the Wisconsin Representa-
tive had effected a $4,000 900 increase
in the income tax surtax schedules
largely by the argument that he in
tended they should substitute the light
and heat levies.
