EXCLUDE LAWYERS ' MID DRIFT BILL BOY CAUGHT IN ACT THE MAN AT THE DOOR "I WONDER IF THEY ARE GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ME" For Habitual ana Obstinate Constipation. APE Walter Stanley, Aged 16, Tries to Rob Phone Cashbox. Members of Council Committee Take Decided Stand and Prepare Wire Ordinance. BURGLAR ALARM IS RUNG lO :nta GROW WEARY OF WRANGLE rroriplons Are Selected From Rival Measures Presented by Electric Company and Cnion Linemen. Gordian Knot Is Cut. Weary of waitine for the linemen and the electric companies to agree on the proposed ordinance to regulate the string ing of overhead wires, members of the ways and means committee of the Coun cil assembled lan. night and drafted a, measure to suit themselves Both the Jinemen and the companies had presented "model" ordinances, and The committee men looked over these drafts and selected what they deemed advisable to embody in their own ordinance. It i thought hardly possible that the conflicting Interests will accept the committee's draft. For four months lawyers have been arguing over the proposed ordinance At every meeting of the ways and means committee there have been spirited de bates between the opposing attorneys, and at each meeting the Councilmen have urped the lawyers to "'get together" and draft a measure that the committee would fcanctinn. Representatives of the linemen and the companies did try to "get to gether." hut they never could agree. Yesterday ofternoon there, was a meet ing of the committee and it was known that the wire ordinance, as submitted by the linemen, would be considered. It was thought that the warring factions had at lat arrived at an understanding ' and that the long-drawn-out fight would cme to an end. Reports Utter Disagreement. As soon a. the meeting convened. Dan J Malarkey. representing the Portland General Electric Company, presented an ordina-nce which he offered as a substi tute for the one presented by the line men Mr Malarkey frankly stated that all efforts to agree had been signally un successful, and went on to explain the merits of the measure he was) presenting. "The substitute offered by Mr. Malar key doesn't suit us and never will until provision is made that tthere shall be four-foot spacing on all rloles." declared Frank F. Freeman on behalf of the line men. "I can't understand the nerve of the Portland General Electric Company sending another ordinance up here. If our ordinance isn't passed well, we'll try the initiative." "I am sick and tired of hearing of the initiative." shouted Mr. Malarkey. "You have been holding it as a threat over the heads of this committee and our com pany long enough." And thus they wrangled for half an hour or more. The committeemen as a last resort tried to make the attorneys agree in the committee room. But they could not come to an understanding on the simplest of things, such as the phra rology of the ordinance, each placing a different meaning on certain words. "Let's hold a special meeting tonight and iwrestle with it ourseJes," sug gested one of the exasperated committee men. "If these attorneys will keep away we'll be through with this ordinance in no time." Lawyers Were Not Present. So at the meeting last night Mr. Mal strky and Mr. Freeman were not pres ent. It took the committee just one hour to frame an ordinance. The measure as it now stands provides that cross arms shall be four feet apart, ex cept on poles that have but two cross arms. In new construction there shall be four-foot spacing on all the poles and this provision will undoubtedly displease the linemen. The new measure provides that the high voltage wires shall be placed on the upper cross arms when they are not four feet apart. A wire carrying "50 volts or more is designated as a high voltage car rier. Cross arms bearing high voltage wires must be marked so that the line men will have no difficulty in knowing them. The only feature that was not decided upon last night was the length of time to be given the electrical companies in which to make the changes necessitated by the ordinance, if it becomes a law. The linemen ask that a limit of one year be set and the corporations are holding out for two years. Copies of the new ordinance will be made and submitted to all of the Coun cilmen. Gray. Wallace. Masters and Rushlight were present at the meeting last night. Bennett was absent. MAKES $95,000 PURCHASE Frank E. Dooly Buys the Cascade Hotel Property. Frank E. Dooly has purchased from K B. Lam&on the property at the southwest corner of Sixth and Flanders streets for ISo.OflO. It is a. quarter-block accupled y the Cascade tlotel. a three-story brick. Tiis structure entirely covers the ground. It was built about one year ago and is paying a satisfactory revenue.' A branch station of the postofflce is to be located in this building, which is across the street from the property sold last week by R. W. Lewis for IrtO.flOP. "I have unbounded faith in North Port land property." said Mr. Dooly last night, "and I consider the investment I have made a good one. Values have been con stantly increasing in the district and from all indications will continue to do so. Property along Sixth street is now paying good revenue, which will increase with the activity on that thoroughfare. Justifying a still further increase in prices." ... F. Breske has sold to Carson Kal strom a lot at the northwest corner of Fifth and Couch streets for J30.000. There is a two-story frame building on the corner. I'llngs Insult at Army. NAPLES. Nov. 19. An anarchist made a demonstration against the army nere today while the Duke of Aosta was distributing prizes to soldiers who distinguished themselves in the relief work during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in April last. The Duke, who is commander of this military district and cousin of King Victor Emmanuel, was standing, surrounded by the local military authorities and the troops of the garrison, at a short distance from the massed standards of the regiment, when a man named Nieol Fiore, known to be a member of an anarchist or ganization, threw a package of anti military newspapers at the regimental standards and at the same time shout ed insults against the army in general.- Ua was arrested. 1 V SSm lit' I I 1 !ilulljJ fii f, QZm4' : 'sSlMS- rrnlp! kmm Ml OPENED North Albina and Portsmouth Pipe Line Complete. IS NOW READY. FOR TEST Water Is Turned on at Upper Mount Tabor Reservoir Conduit Eleven Miles Long Costs City $250,000. The new pipe line from the upper Mount' Tabor reservoir to North Albina and Portsmouth, IX miles long, has been completed, and early yesterday morning the gate at the reseirvoir was opened and water turned into the main. Foreman Edward Gray and the con tractors followed the water down the main to the standpipe on the Vernon tract, which was ' reachej shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Between the reservoir and the standpipe the main is 24 inches in diameter. From the standpipe on the diameter is 16 inches. The water was turned on as far as Commercial street in Killingsworth avenue, where there is a gate. It took more than a million gallons of water to fill the big pipe between the reservoir and Commercial street Some water wag allowed to enter the standpipe, but was drawn oft to allow the repair of the leaks near the founda tion. The standpipe will hold 250,000 gallons. At first the water moved rather slow ly through the main, as it had to drive out the air. No leaks in the pipe were noticed yesterday. It is castiron and each joint was carefully inspected before being laid. Dr. C. H. Raffety, of the water committee, went over the line for a considerable distance late in the afternoon, but found nothing amiss. Now will come the official test before the pipe line is accepted between the reservoir and Commercial street. This win be made, one section at a time, between the gates by means of a hy draulic pump. If the working pressure is 100 or '5 pounds the pipe will be tested to Just double that. This test will be made at once and probably will be completed within. the next few days. Arrangements have been made to make seven or eight connections at onre with this pipe line to supply the set tled district east of Union avenue as well as west. As soon as the new main becomes part of the operating system the pump ing station in Lower Albina will be shut down and the pump overhauled and held In reserve. Possibly by the last of the week the water from the upper Mount Tabor reservoir will be sent down the peninsula to Portsmouth. Soon thereafter the whole of the higher service will be taken over and supplied by this pipe, which will great ly improve the service all over the East Side. Mount. Tabor, Center Addi tion and Montavilla will also be sup plied by the new pipe line, to lay which will cost the Portland water consumers $250,000.1. Apprehension on the part of the Mount Tabor Push Club that the con tractors would not be required to re pair the torn-up roads in which the big pipe was laid is not well founded. A member of the water committee said yesterday the roads traversed would be put in as good condition as they were before torn up for the main.. Ten per cent of the money paid the eon tractors fs retained by the water com mittee until all these details have been attended to. WARRANT FOR A FAKIR Vendor of "Tiger Oil'' Accused of Practicing Medicine Illegally. Dr. Byron E. Miller, secretary of the State Board of Medical Examiners, yes terday swore to a complaint before Deputy District Attorney Moser charging "Dr." Tapping, who formerly had offices in this city at Fourth and Washington streets, with practicing medicine without a license. Two witnesses were produced to prove that the street fakir had pre scribed for them, but as Tapping is now in the State of Washington, and as the offense with which he is accused is a misdemeanor and not extraditable, the best that Dr. Miller could do was to secure a warrant which will be served upon Tapping in the event of his making appearance in this state again. The proceedings against him are the aftermath of Tapping's action recently in charging George A. Hart with the lar ceny of $300 at Bellingham, Wash. Hart was arrested here on a telegraphic war rant from the authorities of Bellingham. and has been held in the County Jail here in default of bail pending further instructions from the police of that city. He has already been in custody about a week, and unless something more tangible than a telegram is received today he will be allowed his liberty. Hart claims that whatever money he took from the vender of "tiger oil" was in the nature of partnership iunds and that the "doctor's" proper remedy is a lawsuit. STATE BAR MEETS TODAY Lawyers Gathering in Portland From All Over the State. From the large number of lawyers who have been arriving in Portland dur ing the last two days the attendance at the annual meeting of the State Bar As sociation promises to be larger than ever before. A number of important matters are to come before the meeting aside from the programme. In the absence of President Cake, B. B. Beekman or one of the other vice-presidents will preside. There is a, vice-president for each judicial district, and one of them will preside- at the meeting. In the morning session reports of commit tees will be heard and officers elected. The committees are: Grievance, legal aducation, admission to the bar, legisla tive, and executive. The question of increasing the Supreme Court will be discussed and some definite action taken. At the present time the State Supreme Court is over a year and a half behind with the work and falling farther behind every month. Three ways are proposed, and each one will be con sidered. The first is to create a com missioners court of three members su bordinate to the Supreme Court. This is the plan adopted in California and is said to be entirely satisfactory. Another plan is to increase the number of Su preme Judges by direct act of the Legis lature, but this proposal raises the con stitutional question of whether the Legis lature has power to increase the num ber of judges. Opinions differ on this point. A third proposed plan is to amend the constitution by the initiative or otherwise. William G. Graves, who will be the principal speaker, will arrive in Portland this morning from Spokane. His address will be "Radicalism versus Conserva tism. Hon. Frederick W. Mulkey. Lydell Baker and J. N. Teal will deliver ad dresses. In the evening a "Dollar Din ner" will be given at the Commercial Club. Courts Will Adjourn.' In honor of the Oregon Bar Association, which assembles at 10:30 this morning in annual convention in the Federal court room at the Postoffoce Building, all the State Circuit Courts have adjourned 'over until tomorrow morning. In consequence very little legal business will be trans acted at the County Courthouse today. At torneys are gathering from all sections of the state, and it is predicted that the session of the association today will be the most successful in the history of the organization. It will terminate with a banquet tonight at the Commercial Club. LEONCAVALLO MONDAY. Greatest Musical Event In History of State at H.eilig Theater.

Seats are now selling at Heilig Theater for both afternoon and evening. DOOMED TD DEFEAT Wills Fears High-License Or dinance Will Not Pass. BILL BADLY MUTILATED Council Committee Makes Final Amendment and Recommends the - Measure for Passage Musicians Ask for Favorable Legislation. Councilman Wills' much abused liquor license ordinance was further mutilated yesterday, afternoon when the liquar license committee, by amendment, struck out the provision for an annual license of $300 for rectifiers. This was the only change that was made yesterday, and the members of the committee then rec ommended that the bill be passed by the Council. It is generally believed, how ever, that the ordinance is doomed, and that it will be promptly killed when it comes before the Council. When Wills introduced his ordinance several weeks ago it provided that the retail liquor license be raised from J300 to $1000 per annum. This figure has been trimmed and retrimmed until now the license is iixed at $S00. Many other stringent features of the proposed ordin ance have been turned down until it now bears little resemblance to the orig inal. Councilman Wills himself is almost ready to admit that the measure will be tabled in consequence of the strong op position that is arrayed against it. Among tne provisions wnich remain and which are obnoxious to the saloon-, interests are those which would prohibit women from entering saloons and would prevent the sale of liquor to intoxicated persons. It a saloonkeeper violates these sections it is provided that his license shall be revoked and his license money not re funded. At the meeting of the liquor committee yesterday afternoon Attorney Ralph E Moody appeared in the interests of the wholesale liquor dealers and protested against the payment of a $300 license by rectifiers. He declared that inasmuch that the wholesalers now pay $400 per annum license and that practically all of them are rectifiers, the $300 license would work injustice. The members of the committee accepted his view and the -de sired amendment was made. "We are taxing the liquor business all it can stand or ought to stand." declared Gray In commenting on the increase of the retail license from $500 to $800. "There is no doubt that ' it will sub. stantially increase the revenue of the city," retorted Wills. "When Chicago raised its license to $1000 its revenue from saloons was increased from $3,729,000 to $7,292,000 and only a few of the 7,353 sa loons closed their doors. Why wouldn't it work the same in Portland? When Wrllls had offered his statistics Vaughn moved that the ordinance be recommended for passage. ' The mem bers of the committee passed the motion with an air of resignation. F. E. Newberger, secretary, and D. . L. Rich, president of the Musicians' Union, appeared before the committee and pleaded that favorable action be taken on the ordinance which would permit musical and theatrical exhibitions in sa- loons and other drinking places. The ordinance was held over to the next meeting of the committee. "Thirty or 40 musicians have been thrown out of employment by the rigid enforcement of the statute which pro hibits orchestras in saloons and concert halls, and it is working a great hard ship on our profession, said Newberger. "Many of these musicians have purchased homes and are paying for them on the in stallment plan and now they are out of work. Unless a change is made they must leave Portland. The following retail liquor licenses were Kranted: H. Abram. 274 Ffont street: A. Barger & Company. .65 North Sixth street; Oscar Hill, 361 North Sixteenth street. The following transfers were author ized: Bruno & Cosenza to George Qulno, 300 First street: J. J. Burno to Mat Gil more, corner East Sixth and East Mor rison streets: H. Pfester to Pfester & Kasper, 225 First street; Warren, Ander son & Carlson, to John Olsson. 42 North Third street Proprietor of Cigar Store Seizes Lad, Who Confesses Says He Is Son of Moro Bank Cashier. RECENT DEEDS OF JUVENILE CREdNALS. Hie record of crimes committed by youths within the past three week is said to be the most startling in the history of Portland. The most daring depredations were as follows: Three women suffered the loss of their pursea with cash contents at the hands of Homer Warner, aged 16. and Charles Greensheet. aged 16. One of the victims was felled and her hip broken. .Two young women of the T. W. C. . A. were held up and robbed of their money at revolver points on the street. Fred Stagerwauld. aged 16, m-as arrested, but unidentified; he con fessed to grand larceny; his boy "pal" escaped. "While bound homeward, a woman was attacked by a youth, she said about IS years of age. and sustained the loss of her watch, which he snatched from her waist. Walter Stanley, aged 16. made an attempt to rob a telephone-slot box, was captured and confessed. Caught in the act of robbing the nickel-in-the-slot machine attached to the tele phone in the cigar store of Robert . B. Jack, 374 East Burnside street, yesterday afternoon, Walter Stanley, aged 16 years, was held by the proprietor of the estab lishment until the arrival of Patrolman J. F. Anderson, who was dispatched from police headquarters by Captain Moore. When pressed for a statement as to his attempt at robbery the youth made a full confession, saying he had only 20 cents to his name, that he was alone in Portland with no place to eat or sleep and that he was desperate. He declared to the police that he is the son of the cashier of the bank at Moro. Or., con ducted by the Wasco Warehouse & Mill ing Company. During .the morning, Stanley confessed, he tried to open the box where the nickels are dropped, but the key he used would not work. With remarkable daring and determination he returned, after having filed the key and made It fit the lock. When he knew no one was looking he opened the box. As soon as young Stanley had opened the box he was surprised to hear a bell ringing Ioudiy. It was an automatic bur glar alarm attached to the box. and be fore he was aware of what had transpired he was grasped by the proprietor and held until the police arrived. The lad -was taken to police headquar ters, where he was held until his captor arrived and swore to a complaint against him charging him with attempted roboery of $4.80 the amount in the telephone box. The officials of the Pacific States Tele phone & Telegraph Company are also back of the prosecution, as they are equally interested in the sum the prisoner attempted to steal. When taken before Clerk Hennessey, of the Municipal Court, Stanley broke down completely and told the entire story while a complaint was being drawn up. He de clared it was his first attempt at a crime, and the last, he added. He does not ap pear the typical criminal like several of the youths recently arrested, but looks and acts like a lad of good family and training. He will be arraigned before Municipal Judge Cameron this morning. BUSINESS ITEMS. . tf Baby Is Cutting Teeth Be sore asd use that old and well-tried rem dy.
