Judge Seneca Smith Explains
Why Issues Were Illegally
Voted at Election.
COUNCIL IGNORED CHARTER
60 Says Lawyer In Statement of Ob--Jectlons
Prepared at JRequcst of
Major Lane Powers Grant
cd by Law Exceeded.
Judge Seneca Smith yesterday sub
mitted to Mayor I.ane a brief embody
ing his views of the law regarding the
so-called amendments to the city
charter and the bond Issues recently
voted on. It sets forth that tn placing
before the people the question of
whether or not $j.12.,000 worth of
bonds should be issued for civic Im
provements, Including a city water
works, docks, flrcboat, new Madison
treet bridge and parks and boulevards,
the Council did not act regularly nor
within Its province, and that the pen
alty for irregular action of this kind
is removal from office of the member
or members guilty. The question of
the issuance of a proper or legal no
tice 1s only a technical matter, says
Tudge Smith, while other phases of
the question are of vastly greater, im
portance. The power is conferred upon the peo
ple by the constitution to "propose and
enact laws and amendments to the
city charter independent of the City
Council," says Judge Smith, "a power
conferred on the people after a strug
gle extending over many years, which
power the Council has flagrantly at
tempted. In propostng and submitting
these, so-called laws to the voters, to
usurp to Itself, and further has at
tempted. In direct violation of the
charter, from which It derives all its
powers and to which It owes its exist
ence, to involve the city in a large
bonded indebtedness, without having
been moved thereto by petition of the
voters, as the charter and laws pre
scribe, and without conserving the
many carefully drawn and wholesome
provisions In the charter providing
gainst Involving the city In Indebted
Bess by hasty and inconsiderate action
on the part of the people.
"The only authority contained In the
city charter for the issuing of bonds
for the acquisition of such public
utilities as those for which these so
called amendments provide, is con
tained In article V of the charter,
which article Is headed 'Public Utili
ties and Franchises." and applies ex
clusively to those subjects.
"The law, as it is set forth in this
article, stood as the law of the city at
the time the Council proceeded to pro
pose and submit to the voters the so
called amendments Involving the' city
in an enormous Indebtedness, and still
atandg as the law, there being no pre
tense of amending or repealing any
part of 1.
Provisions Carefully Drawn. ' "
"The provisions of this article were
carefully drawn, with a view of pre
venting the city from becoming in
volved in debt, and from Issuing Its
bonds until the people had first been
thoroughly Informed and advised as to
the probable cost of the utility or
utilises to be acquired, either by pur
chase or construction, by having esti
mates of such cost and propositions for
the sales to the city or for construc
tion, submitted to them together with
the question to be voted on, as to
whether, with all this Information In
theit possession, they desired to -make
the proposed acquisition.
"This article of the charter prescribes
that tho proceeding to acquire any pub
lic utility must commence with a peti
tion of IS per cent of the voters to
the Council, setting forth that the peti
tioners favor making the acquisition
and praying that the matter be sub
mitted to tile people to be voted upon.
It is further provided that if all tho
voters at the election at which the mat
ter is submitted determine that the
proposed acquisition Is desirable, then
If the utility to bo acquired would cost
move than could be paid Tor from the
ordinary revenues of the city and the
incurring of indebtedness and Issuing
of bonds is necessary, the council
Is directed to call a special election at
which the question as to whether the
bonds of the city for the purchase of
the utility shall be Issued: and it is
further provided that no other ques
tion or thing shall be voted upon at
such special election. It is further
provided that bonds cannot be au
thorized except upon a two-thirds vote
cast in favor of such issus and such
special election.
"The article of the charter referred
to embraces sections 76 to 92 inclusive,
and I call attention particularly to
them that It may be known how flag
rantly the officials of the city have
attempted to violate them In submit
ting these questions in regard to issuing
$5,250,000 worth of bonds to the voters
as they did. It will be observed that
so carefully does the charter guard
the interests of the city in these mat
ters, that it Is provided In the last
section of the article referred to, as
follows: 'Section 92. A neglect or re
fusal on the part of the Council to
comply with the provisions of this
article, shall constitute cause for the
removal from office of any member
or members of the Cquncll guilty of
such neglect or refusal."
Ignored the Charter Law.
"Notwithstanding all this, the Coun
cil ignored the whole of Article V re
ferred to. and without any petition
therefor from the people, without sub
mitting any plans or estimates of cost,
without negotiating for any prop
ositions for the construction of the
utilities proposed to be constructed as
the charter requires, so as to Inform
the voters as to the necessity for the
amount of bonds proposed to be voted,
without submitting to the people the
question of the desirability of acquir
ing the utilities proposed to be ac
quired, or determining such desir
ability Itself by ordinance, without
rating a special election at which the
question of issuing bonds, and no other
question should be voted upon, they
proceeded to formulate what they call
amendments to the charter (not. be it
known, to the portions of the charter
applying to this subject, but to some
sections that were really obsolete,
having already performed their func
tions) and by resolution submitted
them to be voted upon, not at a spe
cial election, but at a general election.
"In proposing and submitting these
so-called amendments to the charter
i lie Council not only violated every
provision of the charter applying to
t:e acquisition of such utilities, a
t'icse amendments purport to provide
lends for. but in my Judgment the
'"iincll had no authority or power to
l-iopjse and submit these questions
BOND
MUDDL
to the people to be ' voted upon, the
power to propose and enact amend
ments to the charter Independent oftha
Council being vested exclusively in
the legal voters of the city."
CHARGED WITH RIOTING
Ii. B. Moran Arrested on Complaint
of Street Carmen. .
Louis B. Moran. a young: man em
ployed by the American Type Foun
ders' Company, was arrested by Act
ing Detective Alden late yesterday
afternoon on a warrant issued out of
the Municipal Court on a complaint
chargins participation in a riot. O.
R. Ball, representing the company,
furnished bail in the sum of $-'50, and
the prisoner was released. Two more
arrests are to be made, but the names
of the men are unknown at this time.
They are being sought by the police
on "John Ioe" warrants.
The details of the case are peculiar,
and involve Conductor J. D. Hatfield
and Motorman R. I. Xewcombe, of car
No. 356. on the Richmond division of
the Portland Railway, Light fc Power
Company, and Edward Jenkins, who
was a passenger Tuesday night when
the carmen were attacked by the three
men, led by. Moran, it is alleged. Re
venge is said by the car employes to
have been the cause of the trouble.
Wednesday night's trouble followed
a clash between Conductor Hatfield
and Motorman Newcombe with a pas
senger, who rode on their car Monday
night, according to their statement
to the police. The man used vile lan
guage, and was asked to refrain, when
he became still more obnoxious, and the
car crew started to put him off. Then
the father of Louis Moran took sides
with the passenger, and in the skir
mish received a bruise on his hand.
The following night, at 10 o'clock,
when Hatfield and his motorman
reached the Richmond end of their
run, they encountered three men, who
demanded that they come out of the
car. The crew at once supposed they
were facing hold-up men. and refused
to move. They were attacked, ac
cording to their statement, and a fierce
fight ensued.
Edward Jenkins, the lone passenger,
took sides with the car crew, and the
three drove off their opponents, but
not until after the car windows had
been shattered and many blows de
livered. The only member of the at
tacking party recognized by the car
men was Moran, and when they re
ported the cane, they were Instructed
by the company officials to swear out
warrants for the arrest of their al
leged assailants.
GOVERNMENT TOO SLOW
"Work on Naval Pier at Jamestown
Fair Stands Still.
NORFOLK. Va-, June 31. (To the Edi
tor.) In all that I have aen written con
cerning this exposition there Ik a compli
ment paid the Government for having lt
exhibit ready in time, but It in a striking
fact that at this time the leant advanced
of nil the exposition features Is the work
undertaken by the Government, notably the
naval pier or it-ater irate, which wan de
signed as one of the most attractive items
in the whole equipment. This construction
was planned and the contract was let Jn
ample season to have insured completion
by the time the exposition was formally de
clared open. But for reasons that are not
fully explained the work has -neen slow
and practically at a standstill. It presents
an a up not of Incompleteness that looks like
a waste of 3O,O00.
The exposition managers are in nc way
responsible for this delay.- The Govern
ment's representatives are the ones. Th
exposition management ha appealed to the
Government to hasten Its work, but ap
peals are in vain. There haw been no hust
ling, so far an the Government's representa
tives are concerned. Had the Government
fulfilled its promise and completed its
work, there would have been at. least one
Inspiring feature ready when the gates were
thrown open. The great naval assemblages
would have had a far greater significance
and effectiveness had the water-gate, whlrh
was planned largely for use in connection
with these displays of sea power, been
available for use.
It Is a sad commentary on the Govern
ment's enterprise that the naval officers of
other powers have been compelled, because
of the laxness of the official representatives,
to land at the exposition at ordinary
wharves while the beautiful official pier
especially designed for their accommoda
tion remains an unsightly mass of scaf
folding. it Is to be hoed that the Government
will follow the example of the exposition
management and hasten its work. The ex
position people are making good against
heavy odds. The weather has been against
them for six months, and now that fair
weather has come it is rushing things to
completion while the Government lags.
The exposition Is larger than I expected
to find it, and the attendance exceeds my
expectation, and I have seen all the ex
positions since 1SS5.

GIVEN SIX NEW CLERKS
Addition Made to Postmaster Minto's
Office Force.
Authorization of another addition to
the clerical force In the Portland Post
office was received yesterday from
Washington by Postmaster Minto. Six
additional clerks are to be employed
and also an assistant porter and mes
senger to begin work July 1. For the
past two years increases In the office
force and carrier service have been fre
quent as was necessitated by the rap
Idly growing business.
Stamp sales for the month of June
have already surpassed those of last
June and indications are that the
present month will show an increase of
at least 12 or 14 per cent. It is a
notable fact that with only two ex
ceptions, every month since May 1, 1905,
has registered increased business in the
local office. The two months when
there was a slight falling off were July
and August following the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. This was due to the
fact that during the Fair nearly all
residents remained in the city, whereas
the following Summer the usual cus
tom of "pending July and August at the
Coast or in the mountains was re
sumed. Mr. Minto has been notified that
all mail delivery by carriers wil! be
dispensed with on July 4. This
will be the first day during Mr. Mlnto's
administration that there has been a
day without carrier delivery. The mail
carriers will have the entire day to
themselves and are planning to par
ticipate in the parade.
SPECIAL EXCURSIONS.
The Canadian Pacific excursions will be
on again July S. 4 and 5. Very low round
trip rates to St. Paul. Chicago and St.

White Slave Girl's Case Puz
zles Portland Police.
TELLS OF HER CAPTIVITY
Alma Church, of Spokane, Fell Into
Hands of Chinese Master Through
Marriage to a Merchant
of That Nationality.
After a night of peaceful rest In the
women's ward of the city jail, the first
she had enjoyed In two years, Miss Alma
Church, the white slave who was res
cued from a den in Chinatown by Acting
Detectives Kay and Kienlen Wednesday
night. was able yesterday to give a few
details of her life as a captive. She ib
a physical wreck, however, and it may
be that her mind has been so weakened
by the cruel treatment received while
she was held In bondage by Lee Lim.
her yellow master, that she will never
be able to tell all her awful story.
Although the police have made every
effort to locate Lee Lim, for whom they

cued by Police.
hold a x warrant charging a statutory
crime, he haH thus far evaded them and
is still at large. It is feared he has left
the city and that he may never be
caught.
The police are at a loss to understand
the strange case. At the first they be
lieved that the young woman, whose
home is in Spokane, had become addicted
to the morphine or opium habit through
the influence of her Chinese owner, but
she firmly denied this, and from her
actions yesterday her denial seems te be
substantiated. She was asked by Police
Matron Simmons If she wished opium or
morphine, but she seemed surprised that
these offers should be made, and refused
the drugs. This ruse was used by the
officials to test the woman, and as she
refused the opiates her case becomes
far more peculiar and pathetic, because
it is apparently established that she held
out against the temptation and refused
to become a slave to drugs during her
captivity.
At times the girl seems to believe that
Bhe is still in danger of her life, and
trembles with fear at every . unusual
noise. It is hoped by the officers that
she may recover from this nervous state
within a few days and that she may be
able to give names of the Chinamen
who are believed to have shared In the
profits of her bondage, when arrests of
others than Iee Lim may follow. Lee,
however, is the chief criminal, according
to her story, and it Is hoped by the po
lice that he can be captured.
Miss Church said yesterday that she
first came under the influence of the
Chinaman through meeting Herbert Lee,
a Celestial, who formerly conducted a
store on Second street. Because she was
away from home and among strangers,
she told the police, she feared to an
ger I-ee when he proposed marriage, and
became his wife in Vancouver, Wash.
He soon deserted her and left for his
native land. It .was then that she fell
into the hands of Lee Lim, who held her
a slave, as she declares, for more than
two years. Everywhere she went she
was followed by Lee Lim or his servants.
and at all times she says she firmly be
lieved that If she spoke to a white man
or woman, she would lose her life at the
hands of the Chinamen who had her
under surveil lance.
Miss Church says her parents live in
Spokane, where they are well known and
highly respected. She cannot give their
address im that city. She will be kept in
the care of Matron Simmons until her
condition is improved, and in the mean
time efforts will be made to capture
Lee Lim.

FROM KELSO Tfi THE OCEAN
XORTHERN PACIFIC PLAXS TO
BUILD NEW LIXE.
Secures Rights of Way in Name of
Washington & Gray's Harbor
Railway.
From Kelso, "Wash., to the Pacific,
tapping the "U'illapa Harbor and Gray's
Harbor country, is the latest railroad
project to be fathered by the Northern
Pacific. Rights of way are now being
secured for such a line and it is ex
pected construction will be begun as
soon as the . Portland & Seattle work
is completed to Vancouver. The name
under which the projected line is ac
quiring rights of way is the Washing
ton & Gray's Harbor Railway.
This road-will dispute with the Kar
rlman road the travel from Portland
and the Willamette Valley to the
Southwestern Washington beaches. It
will .-also open up a fine timber coun
try, and because of the transportation
offered by the new road, many new
mills may be expected to be built
along the new line.
During1 the past week settlement has
been effected with a number of- farm
ers owning property along the surveys
for the road. Checks for lights of way
are signed by the Northwestern Im
provement Company, of Taconia. With
out question the Northern Pacific in
behind the project and It is understood
that as soon as the north bank grad
ing work is well along, the gangs will
be rAoved to Kelso and put to work
building a grade between . that point
and Ilwaeo.
The country to be entered by the
road has much rich fanning land and
there is said to be an abundance of
coal that would be developed with the
advent ef a railroad. Vast bodies of
timber that would be entered would
also fnrnish valuable traffic for the
road, while the Summer beach travel
would be no small item in the earn

"HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT"
Dress Rehearsal Held for Play to Be
Presented by Children.
To the uninitiated it seemed as If fairy
land had been transferred yesterday to
the vicinity of Thirteenth and Montgom
ery streets. For such a fluttering of
tarlatan skirts and such a gathering of
flower fairies, birds, grass blades and
even moonbeams, was never heard of or
seen before. And what was it ail about?
Why a dress rehearsal of "The House
That Jack Built, ' to be sure, and a fas
cinating: sight it was.
Although the interest in their own cos-
tumes and every one's else, too, was at
fever heat, the children didn't neglect
the business they were there for. and the
rehearsal of the second act went off
with great eclat. The duel between the
Queen's Page (Nan Russell) and the
Knave of Hearts (Robert McCtaken) re
suiting in the wounding and banishment
of the wicked Knave, was most exciting,
and the Joy of the blackbirds and crows
over their pardon is shared by all the
guests of Mother Goose, who Join in the
final chorus with all the gusto possible.
It is an entertainment that will be a
Joy alike to young and old. especially Is
it ' recommended to those who want to
take their children to something not only
entertaining but wholesome as well. The
seats will be on sale this morning at 11
o'clock at Marquam box-office, and
large sale is predicted.
COOLED BY SEA BREEZES
Portland Enjoys Respite From Ex
treme) Summer Heat.
Portland enjoyed an ideal Summer
day yesterday. Possibly it was a trifle
too hot at times, but the heat waa by
no means Intense and the mercury
barely made its way Into the sO's,
striking nowhere near the 90 mark.
This welcome change in the weather
was occasioned by refreshing1 ocean
breezes- The hot weather spell of
the few days preceding was brought on
by air currents that had swept the
sweltering plains of deserts of the in
terior. Yesterday's wind came from
the ocean and the weather office re
ports every likelihood of a similar oc
currence today. Clouds persisted In
trying to organize for business dur
ing the afternoon, but failed to get
together.
It is not at all Improbable, how
ever, that showers will end up the
week.

And Watch It Carefully.
Any brain worker who depends on

which the brain and nerve centers are
composed.
The fine, microscopic particles of
phosphate of potash are found in quan

brain baa been used actively. This
must be replaced from food, or brain
fag and nervous prostration set in.
This breaking down of the little cells
each day, from brain work alone, is a
natural process, and the cells can read
ily be rebuilt from the right sort of
food, if the system is not interfered

amount of cells are broken down by
the use of coffee, trouble then begins.
Frequently it first shows in dyspep

operate properly, palpitation of the
heart, or some other lack of vitality
and healthy vigor. There is but one
thing for a sensible man or woman to
do, duit coffee absolutely. "Hard to
do," you say. Take np Postum Food
Coffee, use it regularly, have it well
made, so it tastes good. You will find
a well defined, unmistakable change
in your health, and there's a reason
for it.
You'' have become free from the
breaking down force of coffee, and on
the other hand, you are taking a pow
erful, nourishing liquid food which
quickly rebuilds the new cells. These
are facts profound facts, ready for
any one to- prove to their own satisfac
tion by actual use. Postum is used by
