1 THE MORMXG OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1906. THEIR INTERESTS ARE IDENTICAL Portland and Coos Bay Shoufd Work Together for Com mon Good. IRA S. SMITH'S OPINION Prominent Merchant of Marshfield TelJs Where the Two May Help Each Other In Many Ways In the Future. ' "Portland and Coos Bay have inter ests which are to a great extent identical and the residents of both places should co-operate on the most friendly terms," said Ira 8. Smith last night. Mr. Smith is a Marshfield merchant who is In Port land to attend the meeting of the Oregon Development League as the representa tive of the Marshfield Chamber of Com merce. While here he is calling upon the local whoesale dealers with a view of bringing about a better understanding between them and the Coos Bay business men. "There has been a certain prejudice against Portland among the people of the Coos Bay section, which is due to a large extent, I believe, to a misunder standing. However, they are ready and anxious to work: In harmony with this city, and I believe that the best of rela tions between- the two places will result. Wants Harbor Appropriation. "There is one thing which Coos Bay wants above all else, and that Is an ap propriation for her harbor. Residents along the bay feel that Portland has not worked heartily for this appropriation. They realize, too, that they need the help of this city to get the money desired, and If Portland will work with them for the appropriation' they will be willing to throw their trade as much as possible to Portland Jobbers in preference to those of San Francisco. "Coos Bay has a deep-water harbor that is superior to all others in the state, except the Columbia, and it should be classed with that harbor Instead ot with the smaller bays, as is sometimes done. It now has 24 feet of water on the bar at low tide, and 26 feet at mean tide, as was ascertained by Senator Pul ton, who witnessed soundings in the bay and announced the result in a public address at Marshfield. "While this gives entrance to the smaller vessels, it does not admit the larger sea-going craft, which are most needed. The country has untold wealth In timber, and needs the large vessels because they can give a more favorable rate on lumber. We believe that $1,000, D00 to $1,500,000 would do the necessary work. All that we ask is that the project as outlined in 1890 be completed. At that time it was estimated that $2,444. tXiO would be required. About $552,000 was expended on the south Jetty, which is half-way completed. The maintenance expense brings the amount to $691,000. The difference between this and the orig inal estimate would complete the north Jetty and build the south one. Asks Portland's Help. "If Portland wishes the complete friendship of the Coos Bay people she must convince them that she is ready to help get this money for harbor im provement. At present there is an im pression there that neither the people of Portland nor Oregon's delegation In Congress have co-operated In this mat ter as they should. "The merchants of the Coos Bay towns are anxious to give their trade to Portland. They realize that the up building of this city helps them. Be rause of the prejudice that has ex isted, however, Portland has got only About one-fourth of this trade and San Francisco has got the rest. If this prejudice Is done away with, I believe thHt Portland would get fully 75 per rent of the business. The Coos Bay people In turn also stand ready to do pverything possible to help along the Columbia River appropriation. Can Hold the Trade. "Now is the best time to further rriondly relations between the two sections. Since the San Francisco dis aster all of the Coos Bay trade has come to Portland. This will bring the merchants in touch with one another as they have never been before,' and if a complete understanding exists Port land can hold the great bulk of this trade, which is large and is constant ly increasing. "Since the lire at 6an Francisco there has grown up at Coos Bay among some rf the merchants the opinion that Portland tlrms have raised the prices of goods to them be cause with the California houses wiped Dut . they know that they had . to trade tTnere. I have made a thorough Investigation of this matter and believe that there 1a no ground for such a be lief. I do not think that there has been any advance of prices or any unfair advantage taken of the condition on the part of the Portland Jobbers. The only articles that are higher in Port land than they were in San Francisco are those which are shipped to Port land from San Francisco and then shipped back to Coos Bay, thus making a double freight tariff over part of the distance. On these things Portland can hardly expect to get the Coos Bay trade, but the rest of it she can have permanently as soon as the Coos Coun ty merchants are certain that Port land is ready to work in sympathy with them. Market for Their Coal. '"There is just one other thing that the Coos Bay people desire In Portland and that Is a market for their coal. They have an abundance of excellent coal which they can lay down here at better prices than Is being paid for that brought from other states. They ask for a trial on this and would be srlnj if the Portland commercial bodies would help them secure a market In the local field. "I heartily believe that a better feel ing Is to exist between the two locali ties In the future. I find that merchants anJ members of the commercial bodies show a very friendly spirit toward Coos Bay. This I am sure will be recipro rsted and that both Coos Bay and Port land, will work together for their common good." AT THE THEATERS What th.Prwat Agents Say. 4THE LITTLE MINISTER." Love Scenes Taken by . Mr. Baume and Miss Lawrence. Th exquisite love scenes In "TTve Little Minister,' the attraction this week of the Baker stock season, portrayed by Miss Law rence and Edgar Baume, are commanding general attention about, town. The Lady Babble brought forward by Mies Lawrence is one of the prettiest and most artistic per formances Portlanders have ever 'Witnessed; and it la the expression of everybody that the role of "The Leetle Meenster" fits Mr. Baume'i abilities like a glove. Misa Law rence brings Into her part an archness and a piquancy and a lovable touch that complete ly entice her audience, and against this the strength and skill and warmth of Mr. Baume's cleverness as an actor plays up a brilliant contrast. Their scenes together are catching the whole city. The play Is set in lavish way, and the piece abounds in Impressive character work. A BEAUTIFUL PLAY.

"I decided the case the way I did because I thought the plaintiff told the truth and the defendant did not," said Judge Sears yesterday in refusing to grrant a new trial in the suit of V. H. O'Neill, a 'commercial traveler, against Edson, Keith & Co., a Chicago firm. Mr. O'Neill sued for salary amounting to a large sum at the rate of $250 a month, and defendants answered that he was employed on commission and offered in evidence contracts ' which they said Mr. O'Neill had signed other than the salary contract, and alleged that he was not entitled to recover, and also guaranteed to sell goods amount ing to $6600 In the year, which he had not done. On the latter point Judge Sears found the year had not elapsed and rendered a decision in favor of Mr. O'Neill for the salary. Mr. O'Neill testified that he did not remember signing the papers and doc uments offered in evidence to show other than a salary agreement, and if he did so he was not aware of their contents. W. H. Fowler, attorney for the defense, contended that tlls evi dence was a claim of fraud and Judge Sears ought not to have admitted It, and in so doing violated the rule that fraud could not be shown unless plead ed, and counsel for O'Neill had not pleaded fraud. Judge Sears overruled this conten tion In his motion for a new trial, and by way ef explanation said that if a man sued another on a. forged note the defendant did net have to set up In his answer that it was forged, but merely deny that he ever made it, and could offer evidence at the trial that it was a forgery. Judge Sears once wrote an article on this same point which was published in the American Law Review and was favorably commented upon. At that time Judge Sears said: "It seems that the true rule alike ap plicable to cases arising upon contracts as otherwise should be this: Wherever a party invokes the aid of a contract or transaction which is to such an extent tainted with illegality as to be absolutely void, such transaction can not be made the basis of recovery, but may be ignored by the one attacking it and its Invalidity shown under the gen eral issue. If, however, -the transaction be not absolutely void, it would stand until set aside." - OBSERVE DECORATION DAY GRAND ARMY POSTS PREPARE PROGRAMME.

WILL WITHDRAW REQUEST Struggle Between the Corporation and East Side Belt Line Rail-, way Leads to a Complica tion of Affairs. Consideration of the rival claims of the O. R. & N. and East Side Belt Line Railway, as embodied In their dual ap plications for traction franchises on the East Side, occupied the attention df the Joint streets and Judiciary and elections committees of the Council yesterday af ternoon, and resulted in some amend ments to its East Third-street franchise offered by the O. R. & N. being so bad ly cut to pieces by the committee that the corporation may decline to accept them. About as soon as the committee as sembled. Councilman Annand moved that the O. R. & N. be granted a franchise to construct and operate a railway and sidetracks extending from a connection with the constructed railroad of the com pany at the Intersection of East Ankeny and 'East Second streets, thence In a southeasterly direction crossing East Ash street to East Third, and extending thence southerly along East Third street from a point between East Ash street and East Pine street to East Mill Btreet. This was the route originally favored by the O. R. & N.. and it was thought the other features embraced in the ordinance granting the franchise would prove equally aceptable to the railway com pany, but C. G. Sutherland, of the ex ecutive department of the Harriman lines, submitted an amendment, whh was in itself changed by the committee. As amended it reads: The Amended Franchise. The City of Portland hereby reserves the right to grant to any commercial railroad th, privilege ot connecting with the track of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company on East Third street, mentioned in section 1 of this ordinance, at any point - thereof between East Pine street and Bast Mill street, and if such connection la granted, said Oregon Rail road & Navigation Company, shall, if called upon, switch any and all commercial railroad traffic offered by said commercial railroad at the point of connection if destined to any in dustry located upon any tracks of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company and Southern Pacific Rallrold Company on the east aide of the Willamette River, or delivered to any connecting lines of said companies on the east side of the Willamette River in Portland, at a switching charge not exceeding $2.60 per car, which charge, in such case, shall include return of the empty car to point of connec tion. Provided, however, that any commercial railroad which is granted the right to make such connection and desires to avail Itself of this switching arrangement, shall reciprocate and switch any and all commercial carload traffic offered by the Oregon Railroad Nav igation Company at the point of connection, if destined to any Industry located upon the tracks of such commercial railroad or Its con nections on the east side of the Willamette River, at a switching charge of not exceed ing $2.50 per car, which charge, in each case. shall - include return of the empty car to point of connection. s What Sutherland Offered. The amendment as proposed by the O. R. & N., through Mr. Sutherland, and which he Indicated as the ultimatum of the corporation, provided that the O. R. & N. should "switch any and all com mercial carload traffic offered by said commercial railroad at the point of con nection, if destined to any industry lo cated upon said track of the O. R. & N. Co. on East Third street between East Pine street and East Mill street, at a switching charge not exceeding $5 per car." Thomas McCusker, Joseph M. Healy, Judge George J. Cameron and others were on hand to combat the proposed amendments of the O. R. & N., and were successful In having the commit tee change them so as to provide that the commercial traffic should apply "upon any tracks of the Oregon Rail road & Navigation Company, and Southern Pacific Railroad Company on the East Sfde of , the Willamette River, or delivered to any connecting lines of said companies on the east side of the Willamette River in Portland at a switching charge not exceeding $2.50 per car." Road Threatens to Withdraw. Mr. Sutherland declared positively that the companies he represented would not stand for the amendments as proposed by the committee, but would withdraw the application of the O. R. & N. for a franchise. In view of the fact that the Harri man lines had presented the amend ments indicated, and decided to abide by them without change, McCusker and his associates resolved to include that portion of East Third street originally planned In their route. Inasmuch as this Involved another amendment to the East Side Belt Line Railway Com pany's franchise, the committee con cluded to inspect its route before tak ing further action, and this will be done some day during the week. The Coming Election in Belgium. PORTLAND, May 21. (To the Editor.) Since the elections in France have resulted in the return of an Increased number of Rad ical and Socialist Deputies and have practic ally annihilated the Nationalist and Clerical or Catholic parties in having any more domi nant influence in France. I wish to give you a statement regarding the elections to be held in Belgium Sunday, May 27, when what has taken place in France will probably be re peated In Belgium; I quote from a man on the ground, of international reputation in the Socialist movement and who is also recognized by the capitalist class as being very well Informed: "Maay among us hope that In a few days our Clerical majority will, have disappeared It appears probable, in any case, that the vic tories of the opposition will reduce that ma jority to such proportions that the elections Oi 1908 one-half of the chamber Is elected every two years will complete its destruc tion. The defeat of the Conservative majority in Belgium means the opening of the way to universal suffrage, pure and simple. And once we have conquered universal suffrage we So cialists are assured we shall see Immensely increased doubled it may be the number of our parliamentary representatives." J. H. F. Captain Nicholson Is Dying. SEATTLE, Wash.. May 21. (Special.) Captain Norman Nicholson, one of the best-known mariners on the Coast, com mander of the steamer Spokane when President Roosevelt made his Puget Sound excursion. Is dying In Vailes, Ariz. In a letter received from him today he states that he expects death from con sumption at any time. Captain Nlcolson says In his letter that his ranch, which he purchased when driven to Arizona to recover his health, has failed to pay expenses this year. A barley crop was ruined by raiding In dians, who drove their cattle onto the land and pastured them upon the grow ing crop. Mrs. Nlcolson was compelled to plead with the Indians to Induce them to allow the land to be cultivated. R B afemg aves aves ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK i HI MO Judge Sears' Ruling as to Alimony. TROUBLES OF THE COFFEYS Attorney Says Husband Secured Loan to Sue lor . Divorce, and Court Declares He Can Get .Another to Pay Wife. "If a man thinks it is so necessary for him to get a divorce that he will borrow the money to do so, he can borrow some more if It Is required." These comments were indulged in by Circuit Judge Sears yesterday at the con clusion of the hearing of a motion by the wife for suit money and alimony In the divorce suit of D. D. Coffey against Car rie W. Coffey. The latter through br attorney Ralph W. Moody, asked that her husfcand be made to contribute for her support and their child, and also to provide for Mr. Moody's fees. J. N. Pearcy, counsel for Mr. Coffey, re plied that his client had no money and borrowed the money to pay the fees to begin the suit and, said Mr. Pearcy, "he has not paid me anything, and I suppose when he does it will be a little at a time from his salary." Quotes Dr. Bishop. Judge Sears said: "Dr. Bishop in his work on marriage and divorce laid down the rule that a wife was entitled to ali mony pending the suit, and especially when the husband was the plaintiff, a man who can afford such a luxury ought to pay some money for It." Mr. Coffey Is employed in the postofBce and earns a salary of $58 a month. In an affidavit filed by him he says he has al ways been thrifty and his wife made life unbearable for him. They separated last Fall and he transferred a house and lot in Alblna to her cousin for her benefit, and agreed to contribute $10 a month for the support of the child. Mr. Pearcy argued that this was a settlement of their property rights and Mrs. Coffey had no right to come into court and ask for anything further. Mr. Pearcy in an affidavit included the sentence that Mrs. Coffey had discharged one attorney and now came Into court and asked a sum of money for another one. Moody Makes Objection. Mr. Moody objected to this comment as unprofessional. Mr. Moody also argued that Mr. Coffey had given his wife noth ing. The house was purchased on the In stallment plan and Mrs. Coffey was com pelled to rent It and go and live with her mother to keep up the payments and In terest. Counsel said Coffey stayed away from home a night or two at a time and then three or four nights at a time and asked what he .was doing on these oc casions. When Coffey remained at home with his wife and gave her $45 each month everything went along all right. Mr. Moody said Coffey had grown tired of his wife and wanted to get rid of her. A great deal more was said by both at torneys about the domestic troubles of the couple, their prior separation, a pleas ure trip made by Mrs. Coffey to the East ern states and other things. Mr. Pearcy contended all along that Mr. Coffey had always treated his wife well, saved his money, and that her conduct drove him forth. Judge Sears stated that the allegations In the complaint did not impress him as very strong, but that would be a matter for the Trial Court. An order was made requiring Coffey to pay $17.50 a month for the support of his wife and $40 attorney's fees. EDWARD M'lXTOSH RELEASED Charged With Statutory Offense, but No Prosecution Follows. '"Oh, papa, I am . so glad you can come home." cried two of the little daughters of Edward Mcintosh yester day morning, when District Attorney Manning dismissed an Indictment against the father and told him he could walk forth a free man. The wife of Mcintosh and their five children were in the courtroom and all were overjoyed at the result. The accused had been In jail 47 days. His attorney, J. E. Magers, asked that the court rec ord show a verdict of not guilty, and Circuit Judge Sears responded that It was impossible for this action to be taken where there had been no trial. Edward Mcintosh was charged with a statutory offense against Pearl Toung, 10 years old. The chgd soon after the arrest was takerj to Alaska by her mother, Margaret Young, and they have not returned. Under the circumstances no trial could be had. Mcintosh had entered a plea of not guilty. FRATER MTTST STAXD TRIAL Ex-Postmaster of Roseburg Accused of Embezzling Funds. C. M. Idleman appeared in the Federal Court yesterday as attorney for William Frater, former postmaster at Roseburg, who is charged with embezzling Govern ment funds, and asked that the case be dismissed. Judge Wolverton. however, ruled that there would have to be a hearing and the trial was set for Thurs day. Frater was arrested In October, 1904. on an Indictment Issued by the Grand Jury, accusing him of misappropriating $358 of the postal funds. When the case was brought up before the late Judge Bellinger, the more Important land fraud matters were receiving the attention of the Federal authorities, and it was post oyai Powder Heami Money, poned. Frater was also removed from the Rosebursr postofflce. , Attorney Idleman yesterday claimed that there had been an understanding with Judge Bellinger that the case was to be dismissed, and added that he sup posed that It had been dismissed. The records, however, show no such action. F. I. Gannon's Case Postponed. The case of F. I. Gannon, an East Portland lodging-house-keeper, . charged with sending scurrilous matter through the mail, came up in the Federal Court yesterday, but was postponed until today to give the defendant time to procure counsel. Gannon Is accused of mailing to Mrs. Grace Wolf postal cards, charging her with the theft of articles from his lodging-house, where she formerly roomed. Will Admitted to Probate. The will of Anna J. Quarnberg was admitted to probate yesterday in the County Court. The property is devised to the children, Andrew A., Hans, Bertha, Christine and Anna M. Quarnberg In equal shares. IS ON TRIAL FOR MURDER CASE AGAIXST GOSTA WIRTANEN BEGINS. Accused Shot Matt AVatlla Following a Drunken Carousal in His Saloon. At the trial of Gosta Wirtanen for the murder of Matt Watila on April 22, Dan J. Malarkey, attorney for the defense, will endeavor to show that Wirtanen was so drunk that he did not -now what he was doing, and was utterly irrespon sible for his act. The killing of Watila was the result of a drunken carousal in the Finnian Hotel and saloon at Seven teenth and Pettygrove streets, conducted by Wirtanen, which was a resort for Finns. The party remained up all night, going upstairs when the time for closing the saloon came. Wirtanen was brutally beaten and kicked, his assailant being Mat Hautalan, who has since left the city. Wirtanen was assisted to his room by his wife and Watila. Groping about in the darkness, he found a revolver. In sane with drink and from the blows he had received, he rushed from his room and shot. Tne bullet struck Watila, and proved fatal. The defense claims he did not intend to kill Watila, and, it is said, fired wildly. The trial of Wirtanen was begun yes terday in Circuit Judge Frazer's court, and when court adjourned for the day the following-named Jurors had been chosen: A. N. Cummings, Lafayette Caples, J. T. Chinnock, G. W. Allen, Charles A. Bauer, William B. Cobb, T. W. Zlgler. The drawing of the Jury will be concluded today. District Attorney Manning is engaged in the prosecution of the case, assisted by his deputy, A. B. Adams. Mr. Malarkey is assisted in the defense by J. A. Lee. In examining each Juror as to his quali fications to act, Mr. Malarkey asked if he would consider evidence tending to show that the defendant was In a condi tion of mind caused by excessive drink ing as to be unable to formulate such an intent as the law requires to make the killing murder. He also asked if the Juror was prejudiced against saloonkeep ers, and other like Interrogations. Jurors, however, have been excused by Mr. Ma larkey who answered these questions his way, because his judgment appeared to be against them otherwise. One Juror stated that he was not opposed to sa loonkeepers, and would give a saloon keeper Just as fair a trial as anyone else, and would even give his worst enemy a fair trial, and still Mr. Malarkey did not take him. The defendant is attended in court by his wife. MANIAC FELLS TWO MEN Kills One and Wounds Another In Attempt to Escape. SALT LAKE, Utah, May 21. A special to the Tribune from Provo.
