10 THE MORNING . .OKEGUIVIAIS', 1'K11)AY", OCTOBER 23, 1JHJ3. PLENTY DP ROOM New Morrison - Street Bridge to Be Wide. PLAMS SUIT COMMITTEE Bids Will Be Called For at Once. CAR TRACKS TO BE IN CENTER Contractors Will Be Compelled to Complete Work In One Year, and Executive Board Will Probably Proceed Without Delay. THE NEW MORRISON-STREET BRIDGE. TOTAL "WIDTH Fifty-four feet, with 80-foot roadways and seven-foot side walks. DRAW SPAN Will lie with the cur rent of the river. CAR TRACKS Will be placed In the center of the bridge, so as not to block traffic MATERIAL None but standard mate rial will be used la any part of the bridge. The new Morrison-street bridge Is to be a. metropolitan structure In every re spect, and will not be hampered by any Inconvenient appliances. In width it will be sufficient for all needs, having a total width of 54 feet. Teamsters will not be forced onto the car tracks in passing one another, and street-cars will not be block aded by lumbering drays, for a space of 6 feet is allotted to teams and cars and the car tracks take up by 13 feet. The width of the roadway is equal to the width of the present bridge. The new bridge will be 18 feet wider than the present structure and four feet wider than the Burnslde-street bridge. Its width, in fact, will lack but six feet of the width of Morrison street The draw span will be about 50 feet longer than the present draw span, and will be arranged so as to He with the current when open, which the old span falls to do. This will give boats free passage rather than force them against the pier line, as Is the ten dency of the old draw. This is set out in the plans and speci fications presented yesterday afternoon to the bridge committee of the Executive Board by City Engineer Elliott The com mittee at once indorsed the plans with but one slight Alteration, and recommend ed that bids be advertised for at once. It is expected that the committee's action w$l be ratified by the Executive Board at Its session .this afternoon. After a period of 30 days for advertising all bids presented will be opened and a contract awarded. The committee decided that there must be no delay, as in the case of the flreboat and those who present bids which are not on a strictly business basis and in accordance with the plans and specifications will get their bids back without thanks. According to the plans the bridge will be 1120 feet in longth. The street-car tracks are to be laid In the center, thus allowing plenty of room for teams and pedestrians and preventing any unneces sary congestion of traffic There will be but four spans, including the draw span, whereas the old bridge has live spans. These spans will be placed at intervals so as to allow 167 feet of clear space on each side of the draw. This draw will be constructed to swing more in line with the current than does the present draw, and will stand about 10 degrees from a right angle when open. While pilots and river men generally favor the lift or roller bridge, such a structure could not be thought of for a minute, the committee decided, as its cost is In excess of the appropriation. Provision for Street-Car Companies. The car track of the City & Suburban Railway Company will take -up 13 feet according to the estimate presented by Manager Swigert Should a franchise be granted another company the tracks can be laid over- those of the City & Sub urban Company's tracks so that but 15 feet of space will be monopolized by both sets of tracks. The roadway will be 36 feet in width between trusses, and there are. to be two seven-foot walks for pedestrians on each side of the bridge. Approaches will be constructed from the west line of East "Water street to the east end of the bridge proper and from the west line of Front street to the west end of the bridge, and will be of the same width as Morrison street 60 feet, with 12-foot sidewalks. Nothing but the best material Js to be used and all timbers, steel. boltsSaints, spikes, and other supplies will be care fully inspected as to their quality. No bids will be considered unless accom panied by a certified check for 10 per cent of the amount of the bid. The successful bidder will be required to give a surety cordpany bond in the full amount of the contract The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose proposal is regarded by the Executive Board and City Engineer most economical and advantageous, al though the right -Is reserved to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality In the bids received; also to disregard any bid which is palpably unbalanced or ob viously below what the work can be done for. To Be Finished In One Year. "Work must be commenced within CO days from the date of the award and must be prosecuted uninterruptedly until the new structure is ready for travel, which must not be at a later date than one year from the time of the award unless an ex tension of time is granted by the City Engineer for good and sufficient reasons. The traffic of the City and Suburban Railway Company must not bo delayed for a period of more than 30 days, and if greater delay is entailed the contractor will be required to pay a forfeit to the company of $200 per day during the time of the delay. Navigation on the river must not "be interfered with at any time except to the extent allowed by the United States Government and the Port of Portland Commission. All the materials in the present bridge and piers will become the property of the contractor and will have to be re moved to the satisfaction of the City En gineer. "When the plans and specifications were submitted to the committee Captain Henry Emken. the veteran pilot who was representing the river men. was asked if the plan met with his approval. The cap tain said that the bridge certainly met all requirements except that the draw should be adjusted so as to stand more in line with the current He thought that, when open, it should stand 10 or 13 degrees from alright angle. He alBo thought that a set of dolphins should be established so that no damage would result should any ship lose her course. Both suggestions were taken under advisement Will Presume Charter Valid. There was considerable discussion as to the length of time that advertisements for bids shall stand. It was finally agreed that 30 days is sufficient Mayor "Williams. Mr. Swigert and Committeeman Boise urged that no time should be lost and the others of the committee agreed that the bids should be let with as little delay as possble. "Now is the time to act" said Mayor "Williams, "and I can see no reason for any delay. As to the tests now pending in court as to the validity of the act cre ating the charter and thus providing for this bridge there can be but one outcome. The courts have already decided that such en act is valid and. as I see it, there can be no other decision. At least if they do decide against It we will have so many other troubles that this won't matter much," concluded the Mayor jokingly. The, committee's action tvill go before the Executive Board for final action this afternoon. The plans and specifications will then be forwarded to the Navy-Department at "Washington for a formal Government permit WANTS MORE FLEE ESCAPES. District Engineer Is After Owners of Buildings. District Engineer Holden Is after own ers of buildings which should be provided with fire escapes. The following is a list of buildings In East Portland that will have to provide fire escapes: Building at 25 Union avenue, owner, ex-Sheriff "W. Frazier. Ross building. 24 Union avenue. Building at 122 Union avenue and East Oak street owned by Mr. Kent of Monta vllla. Building at 372 East Oak street, owned by "W. H. Mortzall. T. B. "West's buildings, 3S1 East Morri son street and 129 Grand avenue. Mrs. A. Kerke's building, 421 East Mor rison street Edward Holman's building, 92 Grand avenue, corner Bast Alder street ST. JOHNS SCHOOL CROWDED. Directors Will Have to Provide More Room Next Year. Owing to the growth of St Johns the teachers and directors of the district are having difficulty In providing rooms for all the pupils. The district will get along this year, but an addition of two or four rooms will have to be built next year. Pro fessor John Teuscher, the principal., said yesterday that he had ITS pupils in four rooms. It is not likely that the district will derive any profit out of the St Johns' estate. From the condition St John left his propery in It is not thought that the district can ever use any portion of It even if It becomes available. It was left for the purpose of establishing a high school, and a block was set apart for that purpose. The district will not get any benefit and will have to look to Its own resources when It comes io the erection of an addition. At one time it Is said the estate could have been sold for $35,000 but that time is gone. It Is considered prob able that St Johns "will soon need an eight-room modern schoplhouse. HIGHLAND BUILDING FILLING UP Another Room Is Being Furnished to Meet Increased Attendance. . At the new Highland schoolhouse Prin cipal -J. H. Stanley reported the attend ance at 480. which crowds the 11 rooms tnat had been completed when the school opened. Another room is being finished and furnished and another teacher will be employed. "When the twelfth room is occupied It leaves only two In reserve In that building. From the amount of building going on It Is likely that the entire 14 rooms of the Highland build ing will be occupied next year. Williams Avenue Night School. Prof. J. H. Stanley, who has charge of the night school in the "Williams ave nue building, reports the attendance of 41 pupils of ages ranging from 15 to 25 years. Another teacher has been en gaged. Only the common school branches are taught Last year Mr. Stanley had a class In algebra and bookkeeping, but he says these branches will b'e cut out this year. Th.ere is no time for these ad vanced branches in the night school. Sellwood Alumni Association. The Alumni Association of the Sellwood school held a meeting last evening In Campbell's Hall on Umatilla avenue and made plans for work during the coming "Winter. There will be another meeting next Wednesday evening to perfect ar rangements. It is proposed to hold a series of meetings for the benefit of the graduates and others, at which lectures and addresses "will be given. Funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson. The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Patterson, who died from injuries received in the fire on East "Washington street Saturday night last will be held this morning from St Francis Church. Rev. Father J. H. .Black will conduct the services. Both will be buried in the same grave in Mount Calvary Cemetery. Mrs. Patterson was Co years old and Mr. Pat terson was 70 years old. Started Electric Sawmill. The electric sawmill at St Johns, which has been closed down for the past six weeks, was started up again this week. An accident, however, has caused another suspension. A big saw log was being hauled up on the log car riage and -when nearly in the mill so mo- thing, gave way and it felFback, causing considerable damage. Funeral of Mrs. Mary A. Fritz. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Fritz was held yesterday afternoon from the home of her nephew, J. R. Newton, 221 Morris street Albino. She was 75 years old. Lone Fir Cemetery was the place of interment PORTLAND'S BALM CLIMATE. Weather Reports Show That it Re sembles That of Hawaii. District Forecaster Reals, of the Weath er Bureau, has received an annual report of the weather conditions of Honolulu apd Hawaii for the year 1902 and a com parison of that report with that of Port land for the same year shows that our climate rivals the much-advertised balmy climate of the Pacific Island. Not nearly so many rainy days are recorded here and the rainfall Is but little more In this city than It Is In Honolulu. The temper ature of this city compares very favor ably with that of the island. The total rainfall of Honolulu for the year was 46.78 Inches, while that of Port land was 50.15 Inches. The number of rainy days recorded in Honolulu was 233; in Portland the number was 1SS. One place on the Island reported a rainfall of 275.S5 Inches In the year. The lowest temperature was 52 degrees and the maximum was EC degrees, which latter temperature was recorded frequent ly during the warm season. The highest temperature in Portland was 97 degrees, which was recorded only once, and the lowest was 13 degrees.

NEW; MORRISON-STREET BRIDGETS DISCUSSED AT 0m "TY ON BISHOP FIFTY YEARS AGO RT. REV. THOMAS FIELDING SCOTT ELECTED IN 1854. Seml-Centennial of Consecration to This Diocese to Be Celebrated in .January. Just 50 years ago yesterday October 22, 1S53 the general convention of the Prot estant Episcopal Church elected Thomas Fielding Scott as missionary bishop In the Territory of Oregon, a territory then ex tending over the present State of Wash ington. His consecration did not occur until January 8, 1S54, and it was not until April 22 of that year that he arrived in Port land. Tho country was then no much more than a wilderness and great hard ships were necessarily endured, but tho new bishop found a good field to work in, for In Portland Trinity Parish had been organized since 1S51. With heart and soul he entered Into his work and soon became widely popular, endearing himself to all by his goodness of heart and kind ly, gracious manner. The pioneer of the Protestant Episco pal Church In Oregon was Rev. St Michael Fackler, .who came across the plains in 1S47. He conducted services in private houses In Oregon City In 1S4S and later in Portland, although there were but very few of this faith here at that time. The church did not take any steps toward establishing a foothold in Oregon until 1S51, when Rev. William Richmond, of the Diocese of New York, was sent out a? a missionary. May IS of that year he held services In the Methodist Church of Portland, and at their conclusion he and the Rev. Mr. Fackler organized Trinity Parish. From this time until the arrival of Rev. Dr. McCarty at Fort Vancouver, who, as chaplain of the army, arrived there In 1S53, the Rev. Mr. Fack ler held services in Trinity Parish at stated times. Dr. McCarty was- per suaded to take charge of Trinity In con nection with his duties as chaplain, and from then until Bishop Scott arrived from New York the "fighting parson," as he was called, walked from "Vancouver each Sunday to hold services for the lit tle band of Episcopalians then composing Trinity. Before leaving New York Bishop Scott secured a donation of $1000 from Mr. Wil liam Asplnwall toward building a church in his new field, and on arriving here ho selected Portland as the best site for it Bishop Scott held the first convocation on June 17. Besides himself it consisted of the two clergymen. Dr. McCarty and Rev. Mr. Fackler, and the following lay men: Dr. R. B. Wilson, J. S. Dickinson, FIRST EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF OREGON, ELECTED FIFTY YEARS AGO. THOMAS FIELDING SCOTT C KPT HizNftyEri K I A dUGGesTEO that DowpftfNS 3E.

Peterson, from Trinity Church. Port land; Dr. A. H. Steele and Joseph Trutch, from Oregon City, and James L. Daley from Champoeg. On September 24, 1S54, the first consecration of an Episcopal church on the Pacific Coast occurred; when the ..modest little church at Second and Oak (later moved to Fifth and Oak), was crowded to the doors by a represen tative congregation of that period. There are today many prominent citizens in Portland who remember the impressive sermon which the new bishop preached that day. In the vestry-room of the Sec ond Trinity Church, which was burned, there hung for many years the original written request to consecrate the building, which on that eventful day was read aloud by General Hamilton. The death of Bishop Scott in 1S67 was a great blow to his parishioners and many friends in the i Northwest The stamp of his good work in this field will never be effaced. He was succeeded by the present bishop, Rt Rev. Wlstar B. Morris, D. D. The Episcopal Church has since that time steadily grown and spread through- j out the great Northwest Especially has Trinity Parish been successful and In ad- 1 dltlon to the vast amount of good accom plished It has accumulated valuable prop erties. The Bishop Scott Academy and St Helen's Hall are among these. A great deal of property In the northern part of the city, which in late years has greatly enhanced, in value, has provpd a source of rich Income to the church' and also proved that both Bishop Scott and Bishop Morris' had good business judg ment. The semicentennial of Bishop Scott's consecration, January 8, will be observed In some appropriate manner by the Prot estant Episcopal Churches throughout the state. FOB DISTINCT CHURCH. Episcopalians-Urged to Change the Name to American. v WASHINGTON. Oct 22. At today's ses sion of the Pan-American conference of bishops, Right Rev. Thomas Frank Gallor, the bishop of Tennessee, advocated the conduct of the Episcopal Church In the United States along National lines with the view of creating a distinctly American church. He was also- In favor of a change In the name from the Protestant Episcopal Church to a more appropriate title. He de clared that the church should be American. His address aroused great enthusiasm.

Barrett superintendent of city delivery for the Portland Postofflce, has been removed from his poslflsn and In stalled In a minor one by Postmaster F. A. Bancroft The former superintendent is now acting clerk at Station "B" in Albina. Z. A. Leigh, Is acting as super intendent to All the place of Mr. Barrett The cause of this sudden change 13 a mystery that the Postmaster has not seen fit to clear up. Neither Mr. Bancroft nor Mr. Barrett are inclined to discuss the matter or give any information about the cause of the change. It has been reported that charges of incompetency and inat tention to business have been filed with Postofllce Department in Washington against Mr. Barrett by Postmaster Ban croft The latter positively denied last night, that any such charges had been filed, and stated that no charges of any kind had been preferred against Mr. Bar rett. He explains the change by stating that he desired to see how it would work. "I do not care to say any thing more about the matter," said Mr. Bancroft "It is in the hands of the department at Washington and I am not at liberty to make any statement about the cause of the change until action is taken upon it by the department" Mr. Barrett in reply to a question about the cause of his removal to another po sition, said: "It was common talk about the office that I was to be Femoved or dis charged when Mr. Bancroft went in." Further than this he would say nothing. The postmaster has the authority to place his subordinates where he desires, but he cannot change their salaries or discharge them without proving specific charges before the department. The result Is that Mr. Barrett Is working as the sub ordinate of the superintendent of .Station B while he i3 drawing a larger salary than his boss. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is "Cutting Teeth.

SIMPSON SAID TO BE ALIVE Witness Claims That Man Alleged by Prosecution to Be. Fictitious. Person Is Well Known to Irtany In .'Eugene. As to whether or not an indictment will be returned against Miss Marie Ware, H. G. McKlnley and S. A. D. Puter, or they will be allowed to go free, bids fair to hinge upon the ability of the Government officials to prove that Robert Simpson does not exist This name la one of the al leged fictitious ones that the defendants are accused of having forged to final proofs on land claims, but evidence Is developing- before the grand jury which In dicates that Simpson Is not an lmaginary but a real person. This testimony given by a Government witness came as a sur prise to the Government authorities and the jury. As a result the officials are agi tated and are making every effort to se cure witnesses to settle the matter. The defendants claim that the witnesses to prove that Simpson does exist can easily be secured, and that the whole affair Is likely to prove a boomerang that will re turn upon the heads of some who have been active in the investigation. It was expected that the case in hand would be completed by yesterday noon. In view of this, witnesses to appearMn the case of T. A. Wood, accused of frauds in securing pensions, were summoned. The introduction of the testimony that Simpson really exists was a bomb that delayed proceedings and will cause the in vestigation to continue a day or a day and a half longer than was expected. It was a witness from Eugene who In formed the grand Jury that there are per sons In that place who have seen and know Robert Simpson. This statement caused the Jurymen to look at each other In surprise, and the officials were consid erably upset by such testimony coming from one of their own witnesses. The statement, of course, gave a new com plexion to the whole matter, for the exist ence or nonexistence of Simpson is one of the vital points. If It can be proved that he really exists, and that his name was not a forgers, then the case against the three defendants will be practically broken. As soon as this testimony was given the names of those who the witness said had seen and knew Simpson wef. taken and summonses have been sent for them to appear before the Jury. These witnesses are expected to arrive here this morning and they will go Immediately before the jury. The case will be at Its crucial point to day. If It Is established by these wit nesses that there really is such a person as Simpson, the likelihood Is that there will be no Indictment against the three defendants. But If on the other hand these witnesses fall to prove the existence of Simpson, the result Is doubtful. McKlnley and Puter were about the building- for a while yesterday ready to appear before the jury If they were want ed, but as they were not called they did not testify. They state that there Is absolutely no doubt as to the existence of Simpson and of the witnesses who can prove it. They, therefore, feel that their prospects are rather bright The scene around the grand Jury-room yesterday was a busy one. The Govern ment representatives were busy going In and out of the room with piles of docu ments and frequently consulting data In their possession. A dozen 'pr more wit nesses were examined. The testimony of two or three of those examined yesterday was considered very Important, but the nature of it could not be learned. After the adjournment of the jury yes terday afternoon District Attorney Hall stated that the case Vin hand would in all probability be closed up today and that the fate of the three defendants would then be placed in the hands of the jury- As soon as this matter has been com pleted the case o( T. A. Wood will be continued. It was opened late yesterday afternoon and all day the corridors about the jury-room were filled with grizzled veterans of Indian wars and the widows of veterans who have fought their last gflht All of dthese were witnesses in the case and came from various sections of the state. They seemed to enjoy the re union and spent the day sitting about the hall swapping stories of early times when they stood shoulder to shoulder fighting the red man. The grand Jury will go before Judge Bellinger this morning. It Is expected, and return some true bills. MONEY FOR GOOD ROADS. Judge J. H. Scott Appointed Delegate to Urge Matter Before Congress. Judge J. H. Scott, of Salem, president of the Oregon Good Roads Association, has been appointed delegate from Oregon to attend the next session of Congress on be half of the National organization Judge Scott arrived In the city yesterday from Salem to attend the annual meeting of the Oregon Association, which con venes today. With the representatives from all other states Judge Scott will urge upon Congress the passage of the Brownlow bill. This measure provides for the appropriation by the Government of J20.CCO.000 to be spent on Improving roads all over the United States. "This 520.000,000," said Judge Scott, at the Perkins yesterday. "Is to be appor tioned among the various states according to their population. This would give Oregon about $150,000 to spend on her high ways, a sum with which much good could be accomplished.. "To Illustrate the manner In whloh this money would "be expended according to the provisions of the bill, let us suppose that the money has been appropriated and turned over to the proper authorities in this state, and that In Marion County, for instance, a road is desired. A peti tion is prepared, which Is presented to the County Judge, who first decides whether the matter is. of sufficient Import ance to be referred to the State Engineer, who has been appointed by the Governor to take the preliminary consideration of such matters In hand. If this is done the latter official makes a survey and esti mate of the cost of construction, and re turns the matter to the County Court with his recommendation of approval or rejec tion. If the proposed road con struction meets with his approval, the sanction of the court is ob tained and the road is built, the- state paying a certain percentage of the cost, the county a certain other percentage and abutting property-owners the balance. The regulation of this percentage is within the Jurisdiction of the state government In New York, I believe, the state pays 50 per cent, the county 35 per cent, and the property-owners 15 per cent Request Can't Be Granted at Once.
