steel bridge at Grand avenue.
CONFETTI Prohibited use of confetti
and feather dusters on streets.
AUTOMOBILES Passed ordinance lim
iting sped to eight miles an hour.
TOY PISTOLS Passed ordinance pro

Bridges but no boxes.
Less than two minutes -was consumed by
the Council yesterday afternoon -when the
anti-saloon box ordinance -was passed.
Fred T. Merrill voted "no," but the ten
others voted "yes." The ordinance, which
Is now up to Mayor Williams for his sig
nature, carries an amendment drawn by
Councilman H. R. Albee, who introduced
the original ordinance. Boxes not over
seven feet in height are permissible in
restaurants where no liquor is sold.
Forty-five thousand dollars was voted
in a resolution for a steel bridge across
Sullivan's Gulch at Grand avenue. For
Union avenue, another resolution carried
the expenditure of $55,000. Both structures
are to be of steel, and the City Engineer
was quoted as authority that they could
be constructed for considerably less than
the amounts specified.
The resolution for the Grand-avenue
bridge came from Mr. Sharkey.
"There is nothing about the cost of the
bridge," objected Mr. Rumelin, who as
chairman of the street committee has
heard the words "Sullivan's Gulch" sev
eral thousand times. "There Is an agree
ment that an assessment of not over $5 a
lot shall be made, and I think we should
stick by it. Then there Is an understand
ing that next January the Legislature
shall amend tho charter, despite the ob-
BAXOOX BOX ORDINANCE IN
BRIEF.
After October 1. 1004, no box, booth
or private room of less dimensions than
ICO oquare feet, on the upper or lower
floor, shall be maintained in any res
taurant or 'saloon, except such restau
rants as do not sell llauor.
No such signs as "family entrance"
or "private entrance" will be permitted
on side doors. The serving of liquor to
guesta by bona fide hotels is excepted.
Punishment by a fine not to exceed
$100, or Imprisonment not to exceed 30
days, is provided. For every second
or subsequent offense the punishment
may be doubled.
jectors. Then the cost of advertising an
assessment district will be greatly less
ened. Now, I'm Informed that It will not
be necessary to collect the assessment for
this bridge until next Spring, and by
that time tho charter will be changed."
"I am assured by the City Engineer that
the bridge will not cost over $40,000," said
Mr. Sharkey. "But perhaps it would be
better to place the figure at $15,000, that
we will have $5000 leeway."
"Will you Introduce an ordinance for
Union avenue?" asked Mr. Rumelin.
"Not now: one is enough at a time,"
replied the Eighth Ward delegate.
William Reldt, who fought for a bridge
of some kind before the last meeting of
the street committee, was given the floor.
"The resolution is wrong: Union avenue
should be included to lessen the cost of ad
vertising," ho cried.
Union Avenue-Bridge Costs $55,000
Mr. Rumelin had a resolution for the
Unlon-avonue bridge all ready. As it has
been frequently stated that tho Unlon-
avenue bridge would cost $10,000 more than
the other a block up the gulch, this reso
lution carried an expenditure of $55,000.
Though the status of the Sulllvan's
Gulch bridges is now theoretically the
same as six months ago, when a number
o the large property-owners appeared be
fore the street committee and before the
Executive Board with loud complaints
against the expenditure of so much money,
thero is a strong tendency among the
Councllmen this time partially to disre
gard such protests If they bo repeated
when it Is evident that such property
owners are simply Impeding the progress
of the city.
The combination wood and steel bridges,
costing about $55,000 together, were a com
promise measure. They wero never In
favor with the property-owners who were
willing to pay reasonable assessments for
permanent structures.
Every member of tho Council realizes
that bridges must be built across Sulli
van's Gulch. With country towns and
rural counties ordering steel bridges at
heavy expense, they decline to put them
selves on record as favoring cheaper, flim
sy structures. The cry of the majority
of homeowners who must cross the gulch
has been answered In preference to the
wishes of the nonresident owners of large
tracts, unimproved In many instances, and
who will continually protest against
spending money for the improvement of
the city.
Speed of Automobiles Limited.
Eight miles an hour and no faster must
be the speed of automobiles. Mr. Merrill
asked that an amendment be made to the
ordinance as It came from the street com
mittee, so that 12 miles an hour would be
allowed outside tho fire limits.
"That's too latp in the day," 6ald Mr.
Zimmerman. "You can't drive horses over
six miles an hour, why should those ma
chinos go any faster? Nobody but mil
lionaires and sports use them, anyway."
Then did Mayor Williams sternly rebuke
the Councllmen for laughing. But eight
miles an hour stayed in the ordinance.
Mr. Morrill was successful, "however. In 5
the passage of an ordinance prohibiting ,
the use of confetti or feather dusters on
the streets outside carnival grounds, inside
vchlch, it Is understood, such delightful
playthings will be permitted only on cer
tain days.
Another ordinance from Merrill licensing
confetti-sellers $50 a day was referred to
tho license committee.
No Toy Pistols for Minors.
No toy pistols, caps, cartridges, etc, to
minors under IS years of age, was the sub
stance of another measure. Mr. Merrill
wanted this referred to the street commit
tee, but Chairman Rumelin declared that
the street committee had fireworks enough
already. Only Messrs. Sharkey and Mer
rill stood by the small boy.
An ordinance defining new fire limits
was referred to a special committee, yet
to be appointed. The most important
change is the extension out Washington
street to Fifteenth, in order to include the
Blazier Theater at the corner of Four
teenth and Washington.
The time limits of two and six years
on the permits to extend tracks, recom
mended by the street committee for the
benefit of the street-car companies near
the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds
and to the Irvington racetrack, were elim
inated. The permits will be revocable at
the pleasure of the Council.
Though Mayor Williams still declines to
make any positive statement, it is tinder
stood that he will sign the antl-saloon-box
ordinance after a thorough private read
ing. The amendment Inserted yesterday
was drawn up to eliminate a possible ob
jection on account of damage to "the re
spectable restaurant trade.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FULL-PAID.
Number of Firemen Doubled and
Efficiency Increased.
The full-paid Are department became of
ficially effective yesterday morning. The
number of firemen has thus been doubled,
156 now being on the rolL Each of these
men will devote his entire time and atten
tion to the work of the department, and
there will be no working at different
trades in various parts of the city , as has
been the practice under the old call sys
tem. Drills will be far more frequent than
formerly. The men have all passed the
rigid examinations of the Civil Service
Commission, and may therefore be con
sidered picked men.
Heretofore the fire department, until
after 11 o'clock at night, has been com
paratively Ineffective through the absence
of the hosemen and truckmen from the
entrine houses. Aftpr that
men were asleep In the engine houses and
coma laxe tneir places on the apparatus
when an alarm sounded, the department
was fairly effective.
Under the new system SO men have been
added, and all will be constantly on duty.
CARS TO THE HEIGHTS.
Bridge and Track Will Soon Be Finished-Branch
on East Side.
It Is probable that by the middle of
June cars will begin running on the Port
land Heights line of the Portland Railway
Company. The Ford-street bridge has
spanned the canyon at Jefferson street
and will be completed in another week.
The track beyond the bridge is flnsihed
with the exception of about a quarter
of a mile south of Spring street, on which
men are now working. This completed,
cars will run qn the Heights every eight
or ten minutes.
The Impending operation of the new
line has stimulated street Improvement
on the Heights. Work on Hawthorne
Terrace is nearly completed, a contract'
has Just been let for the whole length
of Spring and Clifton streets and Initia
tory steps have been taken for work on
several other etreets. All these streets
will have macadam roadways, cement
sidewalks and curbs and park strips.
The contractors who have been working
northward from Alberta street to Wood
lawn along Union avenue since last Sep
tember have almost completed laying a
gravel roadway and gravel sidewalks, the
gravel being hauled on Portland Railway
cars from Woodlawn. Union avenue will
then be a main thoroughfare from tho
city to Woodlawn, which has long been
needed.
The Mount Tabor 'extension of this com
pany has been completed to East
Eighteenth and Staric, and the construc
tion of the second track has begun. From
East Eighteenth the line will turn out
East Alder, and after following that
street to East Twentieth will turn down
East Twentieth and then run eastward
on East Salmon past Lone Fir Cemetery.
Decisions to Be Rendered Today.
Judge Saars will announce decisions
this morning in the following cases:
James W. Welch vs. M. J. Kinney, mo
tor a new trial.
fames W. Welch vs. C. W. Shlvely et
motion for a new trial.
DOUBT THE HOLD-UP
Detectives and Chief of Police
Are Suspicious,
AUREL1US' TALE DISBELIEVED
Their Investigation Shows That Pull
man Cashier Who Reported the
$2649 Robbery Has Been Gam
bling and Losing Heavily.
Tho fact that there Is not to be found
the. slightest clew to -the robbers alleged
to have robbed Local. Pullman Cashier W.
H. Aurellus, has led the police author!
ties to conclude that the robbers are fig
ments of a vivid imagination. Detectives
Welner and Hartman and Chief of Police
Hunt, who are familiar with all the de
tails of the theft of the $2649 by alleged
robbers, . are firm in the belief that no
robbery was committed, at least that no
violent robbery was committed upon Au
relius.
They have arrived at this conclusion
after learning that Aurellus has been
gambling heavily and -losing In the dif
ferent gambling-houses of the city, and
that he has been traveling a very rapid
pace for a long time past- . It has also
been learned that he made an effort to
borrow $500 from an-employe of the Col
umbia Transfer Company named Mack.
Ho told Mack he needed the money for
a time, but could pay It back on demand,
Tho amount was not advanced him.
When confronted with this information
yesterday, Aurellus denied Its truth, but
later. In the presence of several officers.
he told Detective Dan Welner that he
had said something about borrowing the
money. The officers learned that he re
cently borrowed $100 from a waitress at
the Union depot, and It is thought he ha3
numerous other obligations.
Pullman officials have been slow to be
lieve that Aurellus would make away with
the money himself, as he has been con
nected with the company for 16 years
past and has been lopked upon as honest
and trustworthy.
The exact amount of money missing is
$2643. This amount had been sent in from
points all over Aurellus district for bank
ing. Similar amounts have passed through
his hands from time to time. Several
of his friends who noticed he was going
the pace lately say they warned him to
be careful where he got the money, and
received his assurance that he would not
take a cent that did not belong to him.
The fact that the money disappeared the
first of the month is thought by the po
lice as possibly of some importance in
connection with the case, as the books
would have to be balanced at that time.
Aurellus has a wife and one child. He
Is under $2500 bonds to the Pullman Com
pany, the bond being furnished by the
American Surety Company, which has
been notified of the affair. District Pull
man Superintendent F. D. Chamberlain
has notified headquarters at Chicago.
MRS. I. LI. GEER MISSING.
She Deserts Husband and Takes Chil
dren With Her.
Mrs. I. M. Geer is missing from her
home at 353 Oak street. Her husband, I.
M. Geer, a barber, Is divided between the
opinions that she has deserted him and
that she has departed In the company of
another man. He says she Is eight years
his junior, but that during their married
life they have never had tho slightest
differences. The missing woman has their
three young children along. The police
have been notified.
Lodge's New Officers.
Rose City Camp, No. 776, Woodmen of
the World, which was organized but a
few weeks ago In Multnomah, held its
first regular election of officers last night
at the hall on Mississippi avenue and Sha
ver street. Several visitors were present
