Third Gas Rate
Cut Is Received
By Portlanders

Another reduction In gas rates
for patrons of the Portland Gas
and Coke company-the third in
as many months-was ordered by
the public service commission
effective September s. The new
order reduces the rate to the
small consumer from $1.20 per
thousand cubic feet to $1.1S per
thousand on the first 800 cubic
feet consumed after the initial 800
feet on which the rate remains at
rs cents. The new order reduces
the rate to users in excess of 2O0,-
900 cubic feet from rs cents to 65
cents per month. House heating
and gas engine rates are reduced
from 80 cents to IS cents per
thousand cubic feet on the first
27OO cubic feet after the initial
800 cubic feet and reduces the
rate on gas in excess OF 5000 Gu
bic feet from 20 cents to 65

The reduction, which, as were
the two preceding reductions, is
based on proportionate reduct-

Death By Blow
From Fist Ends
Big Gala Event

Allenhurst, N. j., Aug. 29.-
Official investigation was being
made today of the death of Cecil
Arthur of New York, son of Mrs.
]. Charles Taiti, of London, who
was killed in a fist fight involv-
ing the Belle of the Annual mas
querade ball, the climax of the
summer for the fashionable beach
colony here.
Calvadore Laborde, OF Havana,
Cuba, a student at Cornell uni
versity, is under arrest.
Mrs. John S. Sutphen, Jr., OF
New York, is expected to be the
chief witness against Laborde.
She was dancing with Arthur.
Laborde's friends say he thought
he recognized her as a friend. Her
costume. including black silk
knickerbockers, attracted much
attention. Laborde's insistence on
dancing with her led to the quar-
rel with Arthur and the fist fight
in the grill room of the hotel
where the dance was held. Arthur
was knocked down and his skull
fractured. He died in a hospital.

Albany Bridge
Fire Dam aged

Albany, Or, Aug. 29.--The big
steel bridge across the Willamette
river here suffered considerable
damage late Sunday afternoon
when big pile of driftwood near
the northern most pier caught
fire. The conflagration required
the Efforts of both the Albany and
Corvallis fire departments to sub
due.
So much of the planking was
torn up in fighting the fire and
so badly were some supports
burned that it will be necessary
to replace about 250 feet of the
deck at the north end of the
bridge. On the north approach, a
cable running underneath the
bridge and carrying telephone
wires connecting Albany with sew
eral rural telephone lines in Ben
ton county was burned out for al
most 200 feet.
Except for pedestrian traffic,
the bridge will be closed several
days.
The fire started about o'clock
and the flrmes made rapid head
way in the u.y driftwood and soon
ignited the underside of the
bridge. So stubborn was the fire
that the firemen worked for more
than two hours to control it. Hose
had to be laid for approximately
half mile.
Before 6 o'clock the Corvallis
department was summoned and
after a quick run here rendered
valuable assistance in stopping the
fire.

the great white dome Of the Capt.
tol, he surely would revise his ia
nous admonition to youth. In
stead Of advising young men to
Go West, Go West!" he would un-
doubtedly suggest that they dig

A vocational analysis of con-
gress, with Its ninety-six senators
and 435 representatives, reveals
many interesting things. And not
the least of these revelations is
the fact that nearly 60 per cent of
the membership OF both houses of
congress found success by pursu-
Ing the dry and somewhat ardu-
GUS pathway that leads through
law and the courts.
OF the 531 members of the house
and senate, 333 are lawyers, and
many more OF them have studied
the laws inrticacies. Most OF this
1888 rate themselves as "practicing
attorneys Others. through wealth
and success, have escaped the
drudgery of active practice and

In consultative and advisory capa-
cities, but they claim the law as
their principal avocation.

And OF the rest-what OF them?
Z They are editors, farmers, man
ufacturers, real estate and insur-
ance men, bankers, doctors, teach
ers, merchants, coal dealers, den
lists, engineers and what not-a
cross section of any prosperous
American community.
After the law it seems that
newspaper work is the best avenue
through which to make a con-
gressional approach. There are
twenty-four editors and publishers
OF newspapers In the two branches
of congress.
OF farmers there are twenty
two. 1t should be explained how
ever, that most of those who list
themselves as farmers are not of
the dirt farmer" variety. Very
few Of them, during congressional
recesses, go out to the stables at A
a. M, harness a draft team by lam
tern-light and are to be seen sink
ing their plows into the soil by
sunrise. They could more proper
ly be termed farm owners" than
farmers.
There are nineteen members of
congress who list their principal
business as manufacturing, thir-
teen as real estate and insurance,
and eleven as bankers. There are
many more than eleven interested
and connected with banking en-
terprises, but apparently it is
side-line to their regular business. 4
There are many wealthy men in
congress, but there are only two
whose biographies reveal so little
of their business enterprises as to
merit the classification OF "capi-
tallst." II
The balance of congress is scat
tered among dozen vocations and
callings. One member lists his
business as "owner of clipping
bureau" another as a restaurant
proprietor, another as a we'll

March Is.
By this plebiscite the people will
determine whether they will come
under German or Polish rule.
Both countries want this territory
because of it's great coal resources
Germany, which has had to sur.
render the Saar Basin coal regions
to France, for Is years, says it will
mean total ruin if it loses the Sile.
sian coal fields.
Poland claims she must have them
to fuel her industries.
Both sides charge unair campaign
methods, intimidation and violence
Though most Of the people speak
Polish, the territory has been unde,
German rule for 700 years.
Political leaders in Germany talk
of violence if the allies award the
territory to Poland, Vice versa with
Polish leaders.
The Polish legation announces
that the Polish general staff is reor-
ganizing regular army according
to military standards. But it denies
That the army is being modified
in full strength:
That the Poles are concentrating
troops on the Esthonian, Latviar
and Rumanian frontiers;
That there are prospects Of re-
newal Of warfare between Poland
and Bolshevik Russia.
The legation biames the Germans
for the baseless mobilization report,
which is to depress Polish currency
and credit, to otherwise weaken the
country, and to influence the plebis,
cite.
It reports that five classes of the
army have been demobilize and that
it now numbers only 100000 men.
The legation says the Polish high
command expects a peace treaty to
be signed with the Bolsheviki in
February.

Harding Can Decide Japanese Ques-

Washington, Feb. 3.-Settlement
of diplomatic problems with Japan,
especially as arising from the enact
ment by the state of California OF
anti-alien land ownership legislation
will be postponed until the Earding
administration assumes office, it was
indicated today by state depart
ment officials. /
While no formal announcement on
the subject was made by the state
department, it was intimated by off.
cials that because of the short lease
of life left to the present admin
stration and the long standing char,
acter of the problems now in process
of solution between the govern
ments, it would be the part Of wis
dom not to hasten unduly their final
adjustment merely for the purpose
of concluding a treaty under this
administration.
Officials also said that the .ecom-
mendations submitted to the re-
spective governments by Roland S.
Morris, United States ambassador to
Japan, and Baron Shidehara, the
japanese ambassador here as result
of their recent informal conversa-
tions, directed to a solution Of the
problems were not to be interpreted
as in the nature Of an agreement. 1t
might be necessary, they added, for
the ambassadors to resume confer
ences after the two governments
had studied the report.
Both Secretary Colby and Under
Secretary Davis during the last few
days have been engaged in studying
the Morris report, but they have not
as yet reach the point of taking up
the question with President Wilson.
