14 XUE BIOKNKfG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 11HJ6. OPEN MEETING FRANCH SES Resolutions Adopted Asking City Council to Take Action. WOULD PASS ORDINANCE Purpose Is to Have an Agreement Whereby City Can Take Over Any Part of United Rail ways' Right of Way. After discussing the Front-street fran chises for three hours yesterday after noon at the mass meeting in the Coun cil chamber, called by Mayor Lane, a resolution was unanimously adopted ask ing the Council to pass an ordinance au thorizing the proper authorities of the city to -enter Into a contract with the United Railways Company, by which the city would be empowered to purchase the line to be constructed by that company from the southern limits of Portland to Irving street and on Flanders street. The objection was raised against the fran chise which has been passed by the Coun cil that under it the city could not pur chase any portion of the proposed sys tem of the United Railways Company (without taking it over in its entirety. Calls Special Council Meeting. Tn reply to this resolution Mayor Lane has called a special meeting of the Coun cil to convene next Friday atternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the purpose of authoriz ing the drawing up of such a contract. 3f this is accomplished it Is believed that the Mayor's signature will be affixed to the recent ordinance and the Front-street franchise will be finally settled. The Council chamber was well filled when yesterday's meeting was called to order by Mayor Lane, practically every element which has taken an active part in the franchise negotiations being repre sented. An extended discussion ensued in which different views were brought out, the whole terminating in the adop tion of the resolutions calling- for a spe cial meeting of the council. The opposi tion to the franchise as it now stands was led by Francis McKenna, president of the Initiative One Hundred, and other members of that organization, seconded by Lafe Pence, who himself had declared his Intention of applying for a Front Btreet franchise. Uphold the Ordinance. J. Whyte Evans, president of the United Railways, and W. T. Mulr, at torney for that company, upheld the present ordinance, but said that they were willing to submit to a clause speci fying that the portion of their system under consideration could be purchased by the city at any time. They were emphatic. however, in their protest against the preparation of a substitute franchise at this time, owing to the de lay of six months whicji would be neces sary for advertising It. Earl C. Bronaugh appeared for the manufactures of South Portland, urging that the Mayor sign the ordinance at once, and many other suggestions were brought out by other speakers. In opening the discussion. Mayor Lane said that he wished an open and free treatment of the matter, and that the meeting offered the last opportunity to voice opinions on the ordinance which Is to grant the construction of a line over the city's main gateway. He repeated the suggestions which he had made to the Council at its last meeting that clauses should be inserted In the franchise (riving the city power to take over the Front-street line for an equitable price at any time; that the city could ask for a future reduction of the hauling rate below the maximum of $2.50 a car stipu lated in the franchise, and that it might also ask for a future reduction of the passenger fare below 5 cents if it should eee fit. Evans States Position. President Evans then stated the position of his company as holding that the pres ent franchise covers all that is necessary to protect the welfare of the city. 9 "As to the reduction of the J2.60," he said, 'why do you not say change the rate. It is Just as likely that conditions will justi fy the advance of the price as a reduc tion. To say that we must sometime put it lower is unfair. We were called upon by a committee of the Initiative One Hun dred, and are willing to grant everything It asks under the condition that our work is not delayed. Now the Mayor brings In other suggestions. We are perfectly will ing to agree tliat the city can purchase the Front-street line franchise any time it pleases, but we don't want the delay of changing the ordinance. It seems to me that some new thoughts or influence is creeping Into this thing. The Mayor did not make one of these suggestions until last Wednesday, but he now comes at the eleventh hour to hold us up with some new Ideas that would mean six weeks' delay. We have our material here and want to go ahead. We ask for this franchise now with the agreement that we shall later accept a new franchise that provides specifically for the city to have power to purchase the line. We think the present franchise does that, but we are willing to make it Btill more definite." Mayor Lane's Reply. Mayor" Lane, in reply, said that he did not make his suggestions earlier as he did not consider the matter under his Jurisdiction until It had been passed by the Council, and, besides that, amend ments were being presented so rapidly while It was before the Council that he could not get an adequate idea of the franchise provisions before Its final pas cage. "I do not think that it was a nice thing for you to say that some influence or thought has crept Into this, Mr. Evans," he added. "I apologize if the Mayor believes that remark applied to him," said Mr. Evans. "1 did not mean it so. I simply said that Burn was the case with some one." Mr. McKenna, the next speaker, assert ed that the Initiative One Hundred would be satisfied with the United Railways franchise- if the clause providing for the purchase of the .line by the city was In serted. "My organization," he said, "de sired to offer this suggestion to the Coun cil, but we were never invited to come before that -body, even tnough it was known 'that we - had taken the matter under special consideration. When we did come at the last meeting we were refused permission to give our views. Wants Purchase Clause. "We want to call attention to the fact that the city would have to take over all or none of this line and that In the section which provides for the sale the words "'successors and assigns" are left out. The United Railways could sell to the Southern Pacific the day after get ting the franchise if it wished, and the city, could never purchase the line. If the purchase clause is put in that Is all we ask. Then if they charge too much or abuse their privileges we can buy tne line." Mr. Bronaugh at this Juncture pre sented a petition asking that the Mayor immediately sign the franchise ordinance. He said that the manufacturers of South Portland were united In believing that it would be better to let in the line at once, even with some defects in the charter, than to suffer further delay, and added that the corporations in this part of the city would have to remove their business soon if they were not granted relief from excessive rates. The petition was signed by 2 of the heavy property-holders of South Portland. Would Drive Away Companies. Mayor Lane wanted to know If the South Portland manufacturers would be willing to delay six months or so if an other company would agree to give them one-third the hauling rate asked In the franchise. He said that he had received intimation that this could be accom plished, and that a bond would be given for .Its accomplishment. Mr. Bronaugh replied that he did not believe this could be brought about, and that if they delayed they would simply drive away the two companies named in the franchise and be where they were ten years ago. Lafe Pence then came forward with his proposition to give the city free dockage on Swan Island if the Pence Company were granted the Front-street franchise, and agreed also to grade and keep in repair the streets over which the line should' pass. He was assured by Mr. Evans that, under the present franchise, he could have a right to use the line for his cars, and to haul them over it at any price he wished. Mr. Pence, being con vinced on these points, said that he would withdraw the conditions of being grXnt ed the franchise, hut should build to Swan Island and utilize the Front-street line. He added that he believed that he was the "Influence" to which Mr. Evans had referred in his remarks to Mayor Lane, and Mr. Evans concurred. Resolutions Are Adopted. It was at this juncture tha$ the resolu tions which were finally adopted were In troduced by Seneca Smith, representing the Initiative One Hundred. An argu ment ensued as to whether a contract to introduce a purchase olause subsequently would be binding after the franchise had once been passed. It was decided that it would. Judge Mallory and others present concurred in this opinion. The resolutions as adopted follow in full: Whereas, The Council of the City of Port land has passed an ordinance granting to the United Hallways Company a franchise to con struct a line of railway and operate cars over certain Btreets in Portland, Including with others a line extending from the northerly line of section 15, T. 1 6., R. 1 E.. to Irving street, and on Flandeni street; and. Where aa. It is desirable and Important that the said city be authorized to acquire and own said portion of said line without acquiring- the whole system, described In said or dinance, and said ordinance contains no pro vision for so doing-; and. Whereas, It Is desirable and important that the said city be authorized to acquire said line or said portion thereof from the success ors and assigns of said "United Railways Com pany In case the same shall be assigned and transferred by said company, and said ordi nance contains no provision therefor; and. Whereas, Said company has expressed a wil lingness to grant to the city the right to acquire said portion of said line from It and from Its assigns, without acquiring the whole system authorized by said ordinance; and, . WhereeM said company has expressed a de sire to move In the construction of said lines as soon as practicable; therefore, be it Resolved, by ' this mass meeting of citizens assembled. That the Council of the City of Portland be and they hereby are respectfully requested to pass another ordinance author izing the proper authorities of said city to enter Into a contract with said company, au thorizing the city to acquire said portion, from said company, its successors or assigns, and ttiat tne Mayor be and hereby is requested to call a meeting of said Council for such pur pose at the earliest time practicable. MAKES STAGE PROFESSION University of Washington Man Now Theatrical Manager. Lee Willard, a University- of Washing ton man, whose home is in Seattle, but who has adopted the stage as a profession and now claims a residence in New York, is registered at- the Hotel Portland. Mr. Willard went on the stage soon after leav ing college and played several years with various stock companies and on the road part of the time In leading roles. This year Mr. Willard has developed into a theatrical manager, and ii now touring the West at the head of a com pany of his own, playing standard dramas, such as "The Bells," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Monte Crlsto" and "David Gar rick" in the cities and smaller towns. He will rejoin the company in HUlsboro to day. Owing to the closing of the Empire The ater early in the season, Mr. Willard was unable to make arrangements to play his company In Portland during the Summer, but will bring it back here during the coming Fall. It is booked for an engage ment at the Seattle Theater during July. So far, Mr. Willard says, he has met with good success, and hopes to remain in the business on the Pacific Coast per manently. BOY. ORDERED OUT OF TOWN Frank Lamb, - Opium-Smoker, . Must Leave Portland. Banished from the home of his birth by order of court, Frank Lamb, 18 years old, slunk out of town yesterday after noon, fearing to turn back on penalty of a. long term in jail. Bad associates have taken the youth along the down ward path until he is little more than a worthless vagabond. The city he. was reared In has come to look upon him as a menace. The only conditions under which he may come back are complete reformation and the lapse of at least one year's time. Judge Cameron made this ruling yester day morning during the session of police court. The boy had been before him of ten and had made frequent promises of good behavior, but to no avail. This time the young man was up on the worst charge of all that of smoking opium. As the shifts of policemen changed yesterday Captain Moore led the de jected captive before the array of offi cers. "This Is Frank Lamb, a Portland boy who has gone wrong," said the captain. "He was arrested for using opium. Judge Cameron has given him a chance to leave the city and if any of you find him on the streets you are to arrest him on sight," Lamb, without a cent in the world and no belongings other than the clothes on his back, skulked away to take up the battle of life under fresh environments.

GETS IT Baker Theater Will Go Into the Circuit, CHANGES ITS NAME, TOO New Baker Theater Will Be Erected In Portland, and the Best of Vaudeville and Stock Will Be Given In This City. Developments yesterday proved again that the theatrical game is interesting. The local theatrical situation is as ka leidoscopic as a woman's mind. The Northwest Theatrical Association, which controls the Helllg, the Empire and the Baker theaters in Portland, has Just completed arrangements with the famous Orpheum people to turn over the Baker 1 CONTRACT LET FOR CEMENT FOUNDATION OF FORESTRY BUILDING ' ' " " ,vv- -&'' ' - f JAMES J. HIIX. THE RAILROAD MAGNATE, WHO HAS PLACED (6000 IX THE HANDS OF H. W. OOODE TO PAY FOR COST OF FOUNDATION. H. W. Goode, ex-presldent of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, awarded to Marshall Brothers of .this city yesterday tne contract for Installing a concrete foundation under the Forestry building. Last Fall when James J. Hill was here on a visit he became deeply lnter- ested in the massive structure recently 'acquired by the city, and, in company with Mr. Goode, passed fully two hours in admiring Its awe-lnsplring features. He told the president of the Exposition that one acre of timber land was worth -40 of agricultural so far as its Intrinsic value to railways was concerned, and that the Forestry building should be preserved for all time as a monu ment to the leading Industry of Oregon. After expatiating for some time on the magnificence of the stracture, he authorized Mr. Goode to inform the city officials that if the municipality would take steps to acquire the building and sufficient ground for a site, he would donate 16000 with which to provide a concrete foundation, and as much more as would be required for the purpose. - The generous offer of the railroad magnate bad much to do with Influencing the Council tn Its decision to retain the Forestry building, and also operated to a large extent In determining Mayor Lane not to veto the ordinance setting aside 1 14,000 with which to purchase two acres upon which the edifice stands. Theater late the coming August to the Orpheum vaudeville circuit. The Baker thus will become one of a string of five theaters which the North west Theatrical Association will relinquish to the Orpheum people, and they will be added to the regular Orpheum circuit. The theaters are the Baker Theater in Portland, the Seattle Theater in Seattle, the Grand Theater In Butte, a new house in Spokane, and a new house in Vancou ver, B. C. John Cort left yesterday from Seattle to go to Vancouver, B. C, and to Spokane in order to complete arrangements for the new houses in those places. Best Vaudeville in Country. This move will be welcome pews to the public, for it brings to these cities what Is acknowledged to be the best vaudeville Don't be buncoed by the Joker on the official ballot. They call the proposed amendment "equal suffrage"; it provides for woman suffrage. Vote No. 303 and vote It down. in the United States, and the regular Or pheum prices of 60 cents will prevail. When the Baker Theater is turned over to the Orpheum people it will change its name andbe called the Orpheum after that. It is leased for five years to the Orpheum Circuit and will be under that direction. This arrangement yields a pos itive profit for the Northwest Theatrical Association on the property, and it does not have to worry any more for awhile about making it pay. The Orpheum peo ple are very strong and successful. Their shows are the finest and can command patronage. Now what will this Involve as to the present successful Baker Stock Com pany t George L. Baker, who has Just been In Seattle, together with Calvin Heilig, the president of the Northwest The atrical Association, came home yester day with his head full of facts of in terest in the local theatrical situation. He announced that the Baker Company would go on tour at the time the the ater was turned over to the Orpheum people. The Baker company, he said, would tour the South and the Middle West up to St. Paul, Minneapolis, etc., and the Northwest, for about five months, returning to Portland about the holidays, or a little after, and open then at the Empire Theater here. The Empire, from early the coming Fall. up to the time the Baker Stock Company returns from its tour, would house the regular Stair & Havelin shows, which complete their list of attractions in this city about the first of January. The Baker company will occupy the Empire Theater until a new theater, which is now being planned for it, is completed. New Theater In Business District. The new theater will he somewhere In the district bounded by Third, Washington, Park and Tamhill streets. The plans are being drawn now, and Mr. Baker bag signed a contract with the owners who are to build the the ater, fixing the rent and the lease of the theater. It will be in connection with a new block to be named for the owners, and the theater will be called the Baker Theater. As the details of starting the building have not been entirely settled and arranged for, it Is premature Just now to name the exact location of the proposed theater and business block But Mr. Baker affirms that there is not a particle of doubt about the fact that the building and theater will be con structed, and that the theater will be open for the Baker Stock Company in the Fall season of 1907. The plans are for a fine theater, a large stage, seating capacity some thing under 2000, commodious as to stage and pretty and comfortable as to auditorium. It wfll be a distinct addi tion to the city's theatrical equipment. Mr. Baker has been retained by the Orpheum people, as their representative in Portland and he will be their resi dent manager here in charge of the Or pheum, which is now the Baker Thea ter. The new theater will be called the Baker, but there is a possibility that the "K. & E." attractions now booked at the Hellig will be played at the new Baker, and the Baker Stock Company be housed In the Hellig when the new theater is completed. But that is only a business detail between Mr. Heilig and Mr. Baker. Both houses will be ap propriate for either class of attractions. The plan at present is for the Baker company to have its permanent home In the new Baker Theater. 4 The splendid array of attractions printed Sunday that are booked for the Heilig. beginning the coming Fall, and the full details of the big merger that solidifies the interests of the Northwest Theatrical Association with the heavy Eastern theatrical powers, renders the outlook for entertaining shows in this city exceedingly bright. THE ANTI-PASS BILL. Josephine Contributes Somewhat to Current Discussion. GRANT'S PASS, Or., May 28. (To the Editor.) I have noticed the reference in The Oregonlan and other papers to the "anti-pass" law to be submitted to the people under the Initiative amendment at the ensuing election. The Oregonlan and other papers have doubted the valid ity of the act, even. If adopted by the people, under the theory that there Is a defect In the title of the act. This pro ceeds upon the theory that the form of an act proposed by the initiative is gov erned by the constitutional provision re lating to acts of the legislative assem bly, namely, section 20 qf article IV of our state constitution, to wit: "Every act shall embrace but one subject, and matters properly connected therewith, which subjects shall be expressed in the title. But if any subject shall be em braced in an act which shall not be ex pressed in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed in the title." In my opinion, this section cannot be construed as governing the form or draft of measures proposed by the people un der the initiative. The initiative amend ment Is complete , in itself, and its con struction is not dependent upon the or iginal constitution of this state. There is no restriction in the initiative amend ment upon the matters that may be em braced in a measure proposed by the ini tiative. The courts would undoubtedly follow this construction. Our Supreme Court has said in the case of State vs. Shaw (22 Or.. 288), concern ing section 20 referred to above: "This provision was designed to prevent the practice of embracing in a bill, matters having ho relation to each other, wholly Incongruous and of which the title was no notice, thus securing the adoption of measures by fraud without attracting at tention, or combining subjects represent ing diverse interests In order to unite the members of the Legislature who favored either in support of all." This cannot be possibly interpolated into the initiative amendment, and there is no reason for doing so, as the initiative is a power invoked by the people and they should have the right to commingle measures on different subjects in one act. if they see fit to do so. Section 20 was designed to prevent fraud upon the representatives in the possible manner referred to by the Su preme Court, but there could be no fraud in the people legislating upon several subjects in one act, if they chose to do so. The people could not commit a fraud upon themselves in that manner. In my opinion, an act proposed by the initiative is not required to have a title, and there can be embraced in such an act legislation upon different subjects, and I believe that under this method that the people could adopt an entire new constl tion in one act. I have taken this method and means of calling attention to the subject, for the reason that the "anti-pass" law Is one that is very similar to the one I in troduced and fathered in the last Legis lature, and which lacked only one vote of passing the House. I believe it a good act. but if the Oregon 8enate in the next session is composed of men of similar character to those who composed it at the last session. It would be defeated.

ROBERT G. SMITH. P. S. The Oregonlan seems to fear that I shall- be vexed at Governor Chamber lain expressing himself as being in favor of having a Democratic Governor and Republican Legislature. In reply to this I will say that I would take no offense at defeat. If I was sure that The Oregonlan would pursue its present Democratic pol icy and could Influence a Republican Legislature to its way of thinking. But, in view of the failure of The Oregonlan in times past to Influence the Republican Legislature in many things, I am con strained to think that the state would be benefitted more by having some one on the floor of the House like myself to up hold the principles which I have long ad vocated, and which The Oregonlan has recently espoused. R. G. S. Mr. Smith shows an . entire misunder standing of the question which has arisen regarding the form of the anti-pass bill. He refers in his letter to a supposed de fect in the title of the bill, whereas no one has ever alleged that such a defect existed. The section quoted by Mr. Smith Is, therefore. Irrelevant. The initiative and referendum provision of the consti tution, under which the anti-pass bill has been submitted, requires that "the style of all bills shall be 'Be it enasted by the people of the State of Oregon.' " It is this "style" or enacting clause that Is missing from the anti-pass bill, and which, under the decisions of the Su preme Court of this state, is an essential to a valid act. Quite likely the word "title" may have been used inadvertently in . speaking of the defect in the bill, hut the defect lies in the absence of an en acting clause. We have a shrewd suspicion that Mr. Smith knows the above facts as well as anybody, and that he adverted to the stale and pointless controversy' over the anti-pass bill merely to introduce the postscript, which contains all that he really cared to say to The Oregonlan. He intimates that he would be reconciled to defeat in his candidacy for the Legisla ture if he could be sure that "The Ore gonlan would pursue its present Demo cratic policy, and could influence a Re publican Legislature to its way of think ing." We hasten to assuage Mr. Smith's anticipatory pangs by assuring him that The Oregonlan purposes to pursue its present policy unwaveringly. If It gives him additional comfort to call our prin ciples Democratic, there Is no law against It. Nobody is compelled to give things their right names unless he chooses. The only penalty for calling black white is a reputation for silliness, and that has no terrors for some. To prevent confusion In minds not will fully perverse, we may say that The Ore gonlan's principles are and always have been Republican. In making the asser tion that they have altered recently to correspond with his own fixed and im movable opinions, Mr. Smith reminds one of the tipsy Irishman's remark to his friend. "Denny, Denny," he cried, as he swayed around the lamppost, "look at the world what it's doing'!" "And what is the world doln', Patrick?" "Be Jabers, It's a-whirlin' round and round like the cook was stlrrln' it up with a puddln' stick, and me the only thing in it that's etandin' still." Possibly when the ex citement of the campaign has drifted away. Mr. Smith may realize that his mind is somewhat in the condition of poor Pat's. FEAST OF THE PENTECOST It Will Be Observed In All Jewish Synagogues. The Jewish Feast of Pentecost will be ushered in this evening in all local syna gogues. The cause of this festival Is two fold. As an agricultural people, the an cient Hebrews observed it as the feast of first fruits and the beginning of the Sum mer season. Religiously, tradition assigns to tnls day the anniversary of the giving of the decalogue on Mount Sinai. This traditional cause of the festival has made It an appropriate day for confirmation ex ercises, and it Is greatly as confirmation day that Pentecost is now observed in many synagogues of this county. In Temple Ahavai Sholom, the services this evening will begin at 8 o'clock. The subject of the sermon by Rabbi Willner will be "Who Shall Ascend the Mount of the Lord?" ' Services tomorrow morning will begin at 9 o'clock. Confirmation ex ercises will take place at about 10:30 on Wednesday morning. The candidates and their honors are: Opening prayer, Julius Jacobs; floral address. Eva H. Cohen; ad dress to parents, Edith Abrahamson; the class motto, Daisy P. Ostrow; closing prayer, Albert B. Levi. The ritual will be chanted as usual by the cantor. Rev. R. Abrahamson. THESE ARE XOSTLY ONES We want buyers for a number of very costly Chlckering, Weber and Kimball in struments in special designs and known as "art cases," in choicest of select ma hogany, mottled English walnut, Hun garian ash, and other exclusive and cost ly woods. There are still among them several spe cial exhibition pianos, the like of which could not be obtained under ordinary conditions for S00. 1W. 800 and even JSS0. We must sell them within the next few days regardless of intrinsic value or cost. Three were snapped up yesterday by well-to-do families. The chance of a generation awaits fas tidious buyers wanting the very latest creations of the most famous factories in the world. Will take a few good square pianos or ordinary uprights In payment, as we have several buyers for a number of these, and we'll not split hairs about the payment of the balance. The quickest action is necessary.
