THE M0B2SING 0BEG0NIA3F, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1904. V NEW COMPANY BORN Portland Consolidated Is Its Euphonious Name. RAILWAYS CHANGE OWNERS Directors of Corporation Are Elected, and In Turn Select A. L. Mills as President and C. F. Swlgert as Vice-President. TOKTLAND CONSOLIDATED STREET RAILWAY COMPANY. President. A. L. Mills. Vice-President, C F. Swlgert. Treasurer, J- C Alnsworth. General manager, F. L Fuller. Secretary, II. H. Swlgert. Director A. L. Mills, J. C Alns worth, C. F. Swlgert and F. L Fuller, of Portland, and TV. A. "White, of New Tork. Last night the city of Portland lost the Portland Street Railway and the City & Suburban Companies, and this morning as the Business man rode to his work he traveled In the cars of the Portland Con solidated Street Railway Company, incor porated with a capital stock of $5,000,000, and backed by the most conservative and at the same time progressive capitalists of the city and the Northwest. The name of the new corporation may be something of a surprise to those who have .followed the story of the combina tion and who have thought that the new company would be known as the Portland jBuburban. The articles were filed un der the last name, but it was discovered that there was already a Portland com pany known as the Portland Sc. Subur ban, so the second choice had to be adopt ed by the stockholders interested, and the cars from this time on will be labeled with the legend, Portland Consolidated Company. Yesterday afternoon the stockholders of the City & Suburban and the Portland Railway Company met in the office of A. Lu Mills, the books of the new company were opened and the transfer of stock was made. In so far as was possible at the time. Directors of the new company were then elected, A. L. Mills, J. C. Alnsworth, C F. Swlgert. F. L Fuller and W. A. White, of New York, being chosen to compose the board. In the afternoon a meeting of the Board of Directors was held, at which A. L. Mills was elected president; C. F. Swlgert, vlce-jiresldent; F. I. Fuller, general mana ger, J. C. Alnsworth, treasurer, and Miss Mary E. Swlgert, secretary of the new company. A. Lu Mills will be the theoretical execu tive head of the company. By this it is not meant that he will be inactive, for he will be the supreme officer in council and will stand as the head of the board. C F. Swlgert will co-operate with Mr. Fuller in the active, management of the company. He will have the management of the carshops and barns, the overslgtit of the tracks and the general charge of the repair and construction work and the mechanical departments. Mr. Fuller will, on trie qtfacr hand, be the operating head of the company." H& will look after the -traffic arrangements, decide upon the number of cars, the time in which they shall make their trips, the regulation of the employes, and will, in short, have the general supervision and control of this department. While the company was to all intents and purposes qrganlzed yesterday, it will be the middle of the month before all of the property belonging to the two old com panies will be transferred to the new. De lays in transfer have been caused by hav ing to send papers away for signature and .for various other reasons, and while the positive formation of the company is delayed by these technicalities, all has been agreed to and decided upon. Mr. Fuller is now working out his plans for transfer and car management. The new transfer system will be in ef fect by the middle of the month and will be comprehensive. On the East Side a system of cross-city transfers will be In augurated, so that the passenger can travel from the North to the South Sides without coming across the river. On the West Side a similar plan will be adopted and tranafer stations will be fixed upon, so that people coming from the East Side can transfer to any West Side line and reach any part of the city. Con versely it will be possible to reach any of the East SIdo lines from any West Side line. The plan for the looping of the cars-Is about worked out. and is waiting In part for the action of tho engineers of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany, who are making calculations for a loop down Second street for their cars which will utilize a part of the Portland Consolidated Company's tracks. When the new loops are made the Washington street cars will loop down Third to Mor rison, and thus connect with the present loop of the Morrison-street cars for Yam hill street from the Bast Side. The cars from the Steel Bridge will come down Fifth street until they connect with the Washington-street line and will then double back on First street, while the other lines will be so handled that practi cally all of the cars in the system will be able to transfer their passengers di rect to any line bound for any district. These plans will be worked upon and completed as the new management sees the conditions to be met under the con solidated operation, and It Is expected to have all track Improvement completed and every change In effect by the time of the opening of the Lewis and Clark Fair. MAY NOT PBESS CLAIMS. Secondary Legatees of Burrell Estate Are Expected to Withdraw. Heirs of, the late Rosa F. Burrell ex pect the secondary legatees to withdraw claim to the sums devised In the will. Mayor Williams Is disposed to give up the city claim to $20,000 for a fountain in the plaza, hut the matter will be decided by the Executive Board. Other secondary legatees, such as the Portland Library m000. Baby Home 53000. and Patton Home $2000. are yet undecided. Mrs. Bur rell bequeathed also 52.000 for a homeo pathic hospital and 52000 for the Peoples Free Reading-room, which used to hold forth In the City Hall, and is now out of existence. The secondary legacies were to be paid out of the residue of the estate after the preferred bequests had been paid. There is, however, no such residue, and will be none unless the sale of capital stock, held by Mrs. Burrell In the Burrell Investment Company, for 50.000 can be set aside and the stock sold again for enough money to pay more than the preferred legacies. As the sale now stands the heirs have put up a large part of the money that has .gone to the first legatees. This action by the heirs has encouraged the secondary legatees to the opinion that more money might be secured for the Bur rell Investment shares than has come from the sale and from the heirs. One of the reasons offered for the city's giving up Its claim is that there Is not room Jn the plaza for another fountain. City Attorney McNary, who is represent ing the city In the Probate Court, says that be will follow the direction of the Executive Board. The Board will meet next Friday. Yesterday morning was the time set for the answer of the heirs to the Probate Court's opinion, made last .August, favor ing the legatees, but on motion of J. N. Teal, counsel for the heirs, the hearing was deferred until next Saturday. POLITICS AJTD ITEESIAtf. Captain of Hose Company Is Tried for Assault. How far a political pull goes with the city- administration" was shown yesterday afternoon In the trial of William Hanson, the captain of Hose Company No. 6, be fore the fire committee of the Executive Board. Hanson was charged with assaulting M. L. Crane, who, lives at 330 North Seven teenth street, and who is incidentally the Republican leader of that precinct. The affair happened during the election days of last June. Crane has been trying ever since to get the matter before the Execu tive Board and have Hanson discharged. Two weeks ago Hanson was suspended, pending trial. After hearing the evidence against him the fire committee recom mended that he be fined 523 and rembved to another company. It had been ex pected that he would be dlscharaed. Crane, who Is 5 years old, produced wit nesses who said they had "seen Hanson strike the old man. The trouble occurred close to the Federated Trades Laundry, Seventeenth and Qulmby streets, whose watchman, J. Howes, testified that Han son had used language unfit for the ears ot the laundry-workers. Hanson didn't deny the epithets, but worked up the provocation end of the case like a lawyer. "Whenever I would return to Hose No. 6 after working at another company I found that stories of my being a Demo crat had been' Industriously circulated." said the fireman. "The chief spokeofthem to me and said I had better see Whitney Boise. I went to his office and his clerk told me such knockers' stories were al ways coming In. I paid no more attention until I heard the stories again. Then I went to Crane and asked why he had said such things about roe." Then, ac cording to the testimony. Crane and Han son swore at one another, and Hanson grew very wrath y. As to a blow being struck. Crane's wit nesses saw the blow, while Hanson's men didn't. Crane had told them ie had not been struck, they said, a statement which Crane emphatically denied. . Several times Mayer Williams had to order argu ments between witnesses stopped, for there was constant Jangling for nearly an hour. Just before the trial closed Whitney Boise came in and sat beside Crane. In a moment he arose to suggest that Crane had other witnesses which he would like to bring before the committee another day. Mayor Willi amB turned this sug gestion down cold. After half an hour's deliberation the committee rendered the verdict already stated, that Hanson be fined and shifted elsewhere. "He wasn't liked by the politicians down there," said the Mayor after the trlaL MORE MONEY THAN EXPECTED Water Board Receives $30,000 Over Its Estimates for Year. Thirty thousand dollars more than was estimated has been received by the Water Board thus far this year.. The consump tion of water during the Summer for sprlnklins purposes has been much great er than ever before, and the money poured Into the water office in proportion as the water poured out of the mains. With this extra money the Water Board wishes to commence immediately upon large construction work. A number of mains and service pipes are to be laid. The estimated receipts for the year were 5415,000, and the appropriation made by the Council was for the same sum. There fore the Council must pass an appropria tion authorizing the Water Board to upend the money which is now In the water fund. At a special meeting of the board yesterday afternoon the matter was dis cussed. Bids were also opened for a quan tity of pipe to be delivered before January 1, as the money is to be spent this year. After giving the Council an opportunity to pass the appropriation tomorrow, the Water Board will meet Thursday and award the contract. Bids on stop cocks and valves were , also opened and referred to the engineer. The stopcocks are of the "corporation" type, and are made especially for city use, no private individual being allowed to own one, nor the tapping machine which per mits them to be attached to a main with out turning off the water. Plumbers even are denied the devices. LIQUOR LICENSE NOT RAISED Committee Makes No Recommenda tion as to increase. Believing that the liquor license commit tee o the Council would raise the liquor license for 1305, a number of saloonkeep ers thronged the City Hall at the time set for the meeting yesterday afternoon. But as there was only one transfer of a license In the committee box, the session was postponed and no recommendation as to higher licenses made. While there Is a probability that the li cense will be1 Increased to 5500 or even 5500 next year, the chances of Its being placed at 51000 are remote. The officials are awaiting the outcome of the suit to determine the legality of the anti-saloon box ordinance. City Attor ney McNary yesterday told the Council men that Attorney Logan bad asked for another delay. Mr. Logan has, so the City Attorney was informed by a Councilman, drawn up a substitute ordinance which licenses boxes. Tbo liquor license commit tee would have charge of this and could allow boxes In only such establishments as it considered proper. The Councllmen joshed one another unmercifully about the prospective graft. Shortage a Matter of Bookkeeping. Because receipts and not warrants show exactly how much has been paid out of the city library fund, the City Hall rec ords show that 535,000 is now In the fund which has In reality been palj out by City Treasurer Werleln to tho library trustees on demand. Warrants drawn are supposed to constitute - a record of the money expended, and in this case only tho receipts act as evidence. Mr Wer lein finds that this method has been pur sued for two and a half years. The mat ter will be straightened out so that the books will show the amount actually ex pended. City Hall Notes. Officer C. E. Foster's "appeal to the Civil Service Commission will probably be heard some time next week,as all the commis sioners will not be In the city for several days. Street-lunch wagons are hereafter to be charged a license of 575 a quarter, nnd waffia wagons 525, according to an ordi nance of Rred T. Merrill, which the li cense committee recommended yesterday afternoon. The Oregon Waer Power & Railway Company has officially agreed to fill East Water street at the rate of 12 cents a cubic yard. Chief Engineer G. L Brown discussed the fill with City Attorney Mc Nary and members of the street commit tee yesterday afternoon, and the property owners will be charged for the fill at that figure.

The Spokane Flyer, trains 3 and , stop at this point on flag to take on or let off passengers. A commodious launch meets and carries all passengers and bag gage across the river to the hotel. The Great Bank Robbery. See tills marvelous moving-picture at the Star Theater, - SCORES THE WIFE Judge Fraser Severely Con demns Mrs. Jennings. IS , INFATUATED WITH SEED Charges of jnfideiity Fully Proved Jennlngs Is Given Divorce, Title to Property, Custody of .Son, and May GetDamages. "When the corespondent, John's. Seed, came Into the courtroom, Mrs. Jennings removed her jacket and assumed a pose such as might be taken by a young girl about to meet her sweetheart. She fairly beamed upon him while he was on the witness stand. I believe the woman is infatuated with him." These re marks were made by Judge Frazer yes terday in deciding the suitsof Orville D. Jennings against Helen Cynthia Jennings In the State Circuit Court. Jennings sued for a divorce and also for the return of two houses and lots on Everett street, which he deeded some time ago to his wife. The court decided in his favor In both cases, and the custody of the boy, 9 years old, was awarded to the father. The court revelwed the testimony, show ing that Seed had broken up his own home by his actions with Mrs. Jennings, and also destroyed the home of Jennings. "Seed can never right all the wrongs he has done," said Judge Frazer, "but he may partially do so by marrying this woman when the proper time comes." In rendering his decision, Judge Frazer stated that the evidence showed Mrs. Jen nings had been guilty of -acts with Seed which might tend to scandalize the neighborhood. The detective, Carlson, employed by Jennings to watch Mrs. Jen nings and Seed, was more exact in his details than any witness the court bad ever known of before, and, while he was tedious, the court believed he was con-i sclentlous. He was not an experienced witness, never having been In the court before. The fact that Mrs. Jennings and Seed had denied the charge was not to be won dered at. It was natural, both being in terested parties, but the evidence against them was so overwhelming, that the de cree would be granted. Concerning the custody of the child. Judge Frazer reviewed the testimony, which proved the boy saw his mother and Seed frequently together, and said the mother was destroying the child's moral nature as well as his sense of honor. Tho court commented on he fact that, as a witness, the "boy had" not told the whole truth. His mind had been poisoned against? his father, but that would change In a little while. Under the circumstances his mother was not entitled to his cus tody, and he was awarded to the father. Regarding the property deeded to Mrs. Jennings the court held that It was not to be presumed that a husband would deed any property to his wife If be knew her to be unfalthfuL If, as In this case, tho wife has been untrue prior to the giv ing of the deed, and continues unfaithful thereafter, the fraud Is great and suffi cient to set aside a deed. Mrs. Jennings did not in good faith Intend to carry out the agreement to go to Roseburg to live with her husband. This was all a scheme on her part to get tho property. She ap parently knew what was coming, what must be the final result, and was prepar ing herself. The actions of Mrs. Jennings during the trial were severely commented oipqn. es pecially tho enjoyment she displayed while the detective, Carlson, was on the stand telling the story of her conduct, whereby she practically tore down every fragment of decent womanhood. If she retained the property it would probably not be long before Seed would have It. The deed was ordered set aside. Today Judge Frazer will assess dam ages In favor of Jennings in his 510,000 suit against Seed for alienating the af fections of his wife. When the suit was filed in June last. Seed heard of it and went to Oregon City to escape the Juris diction of the court. He was served with the summons and complaint by the Sheriff of Clackamas County. Seed's attorney contends that the service In Oregon Clty ls not good, and refused to answer the complaint. A default was taken against Seed for want of an answer. Judge George deciding that the service In Clack amas County was legaL After Jamages have been assessed. Seed must pay, or ap peal to the Supreme Court for relief, Mrs. Jennings may appeal. NOT ABUSIVE ALL THE TIME. Mrs. Sophia May Says She -Did Not Always Call Names. "I called him a swindler, a loafer and a scoundrel, but I only called hlra these names sometimes. My regular way was to call -him my dear husband." said Mrs. Sophia May in testifying before Judge Cleland yesterday at the trial of a divorce suit brought against her by her husband, Paul H. May. Tho husband and father ad mitted that sometimes he told his wife she was a hog of the female kind, and an old one at that. Mrs. May denied that she called Paul a murderer. She was not so bloodthirsty as that. One night she raised an ax at him when he did not come home until after midnight, but she ohly did It to show she had some confidence left in him. She did not attempt to strike him with It Mrs. May contested the divorce suit and gave some damaging testimony against her husband, which he acknowledged to be true. The litigants were married 18 years ago and lived for a long time In Laramie, Wyo., where May was engaged in tho merchandise business. He still owns prop erty there. Mrs. May says she worked in the stors for ten years and assisted in ac cumulating the property, and she demands a share of it May testified that his wife has a bad temper and.they quarreled fre quently. She left him alone for seven weeks while he was sick, part of the. time in a hospital, and afterward living with friends. The litigants have three children. BEATEN BY BARTENDER. Walter Ford Sues Biazier Brothers for $50,000 Damages for Injuries. Walter D. Ford, wh'o complains that he has entirely lost the sight of his right eye as the result of a beating' he Tecelved in the saloon -of Edward J. and Eugene Biazier, yesterday filed suit against them in the State Circuit Court for 550,000. dam ages through his attorney, H. E. Mc Ginn. The complaint sets forth that on October 8, 1904, Ford entered the saloon of the Biazier Brothers and was there In a peaceable and orderly manner, when Harry Barrett, a bartender In the place, assaulted and beat him with a dangerous weapon, struck him a number of blows, causing him' to lose the sight of his right eye, which had to be removed to save tho sight of his left eye.

Judge George' desires Jury cases set for trial next month and yesterday be called the -attention of attorneys and the Dis trict Attorney to the fact that he did not like the way things were dragging along. The Judge said unless cases were set there would be nothing for the Jury to do. Mr. Manning said he desired to have the gambling cases set for trial, but wanted those arrested in August tried first. It is the Intention of the District Attorney to have a gambling case set each day, and try other criminal cases at the same time. Claim and Counter Claim. F. H. Brandes has sued S.

District Forecaster Edward Alden Beals, the man who Is popularly sup posed to make weather for Oregon, is home again after a two months' trip to Eastern cities, bringing back with him the title of one of the vice-presidents of the United States Weather Bureau offi cials. Mr. Beals mentions that the -chief of the United States Weather Bureau. Willis L. Moore, promises that the Gov ernment weather, exhibit now at the St. Louis Exposition will be moved for ex hibition purposes to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. "One of the most important matters which developed at the recent conference of United States weather officials Is a new method . whereby the position of a storm can be forecasted almost accurate ly 24 hours ahead of time,'' went on Mr. Beals. "But this method, which was dis covered by E. H. Bowie, forecaster at St Louis, will not be In use 'for some time to come, at least west of the Rocky Mountains. My tour included visits to Chicago and Peoria, 111.; Washington, D. C: New York City; the St. Louis Exposl-J tlon; Denver, Colo., and San Francisco, Cal. -After January 1 a change will take place in making out the. meteorological forms of the Weather Bureau.

SELECTS SITE FOE TEMPLE. Fraternal Building Association Visits Fair- Grounds to Choose. A vigorous campaign for funds is about to be undertaken by the Lewis and Clark Fraternal Building Association.. A site for the proposed building was selected on the Fair grounds last Friday by a com mittee Irom the board of directors ot the association. A strip. 110 feet by 150 feet, on the highest knoll of the enclosure, was chosen, and It Is undoubtedly the best slje for such a building that could be found. It will. In fact, be at the hub of the Exposition. The committee .had hoped to secure an even larger strip, but part of the site had already been given up for the Massachusetts building. The knoll will be called "Temple JH111." Following are the names of the com mittee: J. E. Werleln, J. H. Miser. Mrs. Robert Lutke and Mrs. Lou Ellen Cor nell.
