THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. JANUARY 9, 1908. 11 WAR IS DECLARED ON LOCAL TRUSTS Council Passes Resolution and Mayor Names Committee to Wield Probe. CITY ATTORNEY TO AJD Councilman Vaughn Fathers Meas ure on Floor of Chamber Dray- men's Combine Probably First Victim In Line. Councilman Vaughn yesterday declared war on the various illegal combines and trtinta .of the city by introducing a reso lution in the Council providing for the ap pointment of a committee of three y the Mayor, with power to summon witnesses, to put the latter under oath and to take testimony In regard to all alleged unlaw ful combinations doinjp business . here Tbe resolution was adopted and Mayor Jjine named Cnuncllmen Vaughn, Beld Ing and Concannon. They will be assist ed by City Attorney Kavanaugh. and his deputies In the investigations. It Is not known Just what the next step will be In the' work of attacking Illegal combinations, said to be operating in re straint of trade, but it is supposed that one trust will be selected for a test case. The City Attorney has for Borne time been endeavoring to bring criminal prose cutions against some of Portland's oom blnfs, but, as he said yesterday, has been unable to secure the proper evidence be cause of the failure of the Belding anti trust law to provide a means of securing testimony and getting possession of pa pers and books In the hands- of the al leped lawbreakers. City Attorney Kavanaugh asked for a detective to assist him in securing evi dence against trusts several months ago, and Chief of Police Ghltzmacher assigned Defective J. W. Inskeep to the duty, but Mr. Kavanaugh told the Council yester day that, just as the operative was get ting into good condition to do effective work, the Chief recalled htm, leaving the office without police help. City Attorney Kavanaugh is In hearty accord with fhe resolution passed yester day, and gave it his official indorsement. He Bald that some means must be fur nished him to secure evidence, if any prosecutions. are to be instituted against the so-called trusts. Under the provisions of the ordinance passed yesterday, the committee named will have power to summon any person before It and to compel answers to ques tions. There is no information at hand at this time as to what alleged illegal combine will first be attacked, but as Councilman Kellaher furnished City At torney Kavanaugh with copies of the Portland Draymen's Association's scale nf prices and of their by-laws, it is thought probable he will first proceed against that organization. ' Councilman Driscolt is a member of the association, and will 'be a witness, It is said, if the matter is probed. Councilman Driscoll also charged that there is a retail grocers' trust, and the Council asked City Attorney Kavanaugh two weeks ago to investigate this, so Jts officers may be summoned and ques tioned. Corbett Estate Wins Fight. After a long wrangle between Councll jiien at the session of the City Council Yesterday, afternoon, .the Corbett estate was granted permission to place a venti lation trap on the Fifth-street side of the new Corbett building, but this matter brought about what promises to be a rather drastic action on the part of- the municipality. Building Inspector Spencer was called upon for a statement as to whether the ventilator could be put in without using the sidewalk, and he said it could; also, he said, he would recom mend the revocation of every vent per mit in the city. Mayor Lane asked him to submit a list of such vents. Action will then be takers Mayor's Message. Slighted. Mayor Lane's message to the City Council was not heard by that body yes terday afternoon at Its regular session, because of Its length, as was explained by Councilman Annand, who moved to dispense with its reading and have it re ferred to the committee on ways and means. .Mayor Lane at this Juncture re marked that the message contained some things he would like to have the Coun rllmen know, but Mr. Annand replied that tliey knew it all. anyway. Inasmuch as they had read the message In the newspapers. The Mayor thereupon re ferred the matter to the committee. Council Disregards Protest. Over the protests of the City Engineer, the Fire Marshal and the Chief of the Fire Department, the City Council yes terday granted the permit asked for by W. P. Fuller & Co. to install a large tank for the storage of lubricating oil under the street at Thirteenth and Love joy streets. lt this tank will be- stored about 400 barrels of lubricating oil. Some of the Councllmen fought the petition on' the grounds of danger to property and usurpation of the public thoroughfare. RECEIVER'S FORCE IS BUSY. Preparing Statement of Oregon Trust Bank Accounts. Almost as busy a place, as It was when H was In its palmy days is the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, where expert ac countants and clerks are busy getting out a .statement of the exact status of the accounts of the Institution. The working force is bending every energy toward an early completion of this statement, which must be finished before a petition for two years' time in which to pay the claims against the bank can be presented to the court. Early and late typewriters and adding machines are clicking off the figures that will show the exact status of every account In the bank. It is also too early 'to complete the di rectorate of the new bank, for until those 'who are wanted to act as directors can be shown exactly how the affairs, of the bank stand, it is useless to try to interest them In the bank. President Reed and Receiver Devlin will not invite substantial business men of the city to become di rectors until a comprehensive statement of the bank's exact resources and' liabil ities can be shown. Two Eastern Oregon' men have been named as possible directors, but nothing definite has been, settled. These men are William E. Grace, president of the Cit izens National Bank, of Baker City; N. U. Carpenter. president of the First National Bank, of sSumnter. Louis O. Clarke, of Portland, is also a pos sibility, and It is understood that steps have been taken to place him on the directorate. He has not yet accepted the position. WILL 3E PORTLAND'S r v J,"-" - ' ' v-rc K mmwmmmimmmmmmmmmmmmmm I . r, t O- t. ''.-Hi y rrlffn fflrfln? I j$ 5. ' j 3 """ '4 , I .

SKETCH BY DOYLE A t PATTERSON. . . v , One of the most important building ' projects, announced for ' the near future In Portland, Is the handsome fireproof block to be erected by the Failing estate at the southeast corner of Fifth and Yamhill streets. This building will be 15 stories high, or three stories higher than the new "Wells-Fargo blook, the tallest building in Portland. It will stand on the site now occupied by the Portland Gas. Company and the new skyscraper will contain the quarters of this corporation. The Illustration here shown Is a reproduction of a sketch pn dis play at the architects' exhibit in the Museum of Art. It is a front elevation and was displayed to show changes that have been made In the design since the preparation of a large perspective drawing that Is also a part of the present exhibit. Since the perspective was . drawn by Doyle & Patterson it has been decided to add three stories to the structure and otherwise alter the specifications, as .shown by the above cut. Definite announcement has not been made of the time that construc tion work on this building will begin. . It Is generally understood, however, .that work of laying the foundation will be under, way within a few months. It is also known that the entire'building will be erected at one time. Instead of building the. lower stories for temporary occupancy, as was at one time reported tp be the intention. HEEDS FATHER'S APPEAL COUNCIL TOUCHED BY STORY OF DAUGHTER'S RUIX. . Cl'es Keeper of Saloon to Show Cause -Why License Should -Not Be Revoked. Unable to control his emotions, his frame trembling and his voice choked with so'bs, E. F. Noiand told the story , of the ruin of his lS-year-old daughter' to the City Council yesterday afternoon. He was there to protest against the granting of a transfer of license to C. F. Lander holm, who wished to establish another saloon In the neighborhood of the Noiand home. His tears and pleadings moved the hearts of every member of the' body, and the transfer was not only refused, but upon motion of Councilman wills, John J. Conboy, the proprietor of the sa loon that Noiand blamed for the down fall of his daughter, was ordered to ap pear before the liquor-license committee at its net session and . show cause- why his license should not be revoked. Seldom Indeed Is such a sight witnessed In the Council chamber as that presented when Mr. Noiand started to speak against the transfer of the Landerholm permit, hut lost control of hts emotions and broke down completely. Deep silence reigned, save for the sobs of the man whose daughter, as he had just explained, had met ruin through the influence of the Conboy saloon, near her home. "I can't speak further," concluded Mr. Noiand. "He don't have to. speak any further, so far as I am concerned." said Councilman Baker. "And I think I can say the same for my colleagues. When a father tells us that his daughter was ruined by a saloon hJ his vicinity, he need not say anything more. Sit down, (Mr. Noiand, we'll take care of you." When the petition for the Landerholm transfer came up It was upon majority and minority reports. Councilman Vaughn having held the view that business In terests were behind the protests against the transfer. Among others present was Mr. Noiand. who stepped forward and asked to be heard. "The saloon we now have there has caused me intense sorrow," said Mr. Noiand. "My little girl she Is only 36 years old is in the House of the Good Shepherd Just through the Influence of the saloon now run by Conboy, right near my home. I think I have suffered enough." Unable to. proceed further, Mr. Nolaiid broke down and wept. Then Mr. Baker rose and spoke, afterward calling for a vote on the majority report, which was adopted.- "I wish to icall the attention of the Council to the. statement of that father, that his girl was ruined through the in fluence of Conboy's saloon." said Mayor Lane. "What can you do toward remedy ing this?" Councilman Willis-moved to cite Con boy. to appear before the liquor license committee to show cause why his license should not be revoked. Mr. Noiand said he would be present TALLEST BUILDING ::wy.'vv:v:!:OT.W' 1 - ?Ti - & , Sir- : .:--v. . .:-::.. -iv s L with a strong delegation of citizens to protest against the continuance of the Conboy saloon, and to demand the revo cation of its license. MAYOR HAS NO REMEDY Opposes "Revocable Permits," .bnt Offers No Substitute for Them. Mayor Lane took a fling at the "revoca ble permits," frequently issued by the City Council, at the session of that body yesterday afternoon, when a petition for sidetrack privileges from the Portland & Seattle Railroad came up. The petition was for a permit to lay tracks on Fif teenth street, ' from Marshall to Johnson streets, and was granted. "These revocable permits are worth less," said Mayor Lane. "The mere fact that you call them revocable permits does the city no good. None are ever revoked ; and If you revoke any. It will foe only at the emd of a lawsuit." "How would. you do It, then?" asked Councilman Kellaher, of Mayor Lane. 'I don't know," replied the Mayor, as he directed the Auditor to proceed with the reamng of other business. Vaughn Opposes Cancellation. Tha big fill on East Sixth street,'from East 6herman to Division, may be or dered rescinded, but it is-certain that a fight will come up in the committee on streets, when .the matter Is reconsidered at the next meeting. In the'City Council yesterday afternoon, the Pacific Bridge Company, the contractor -presented a re lease to the city for all expenses. The work Is being fought by the Inman-Poul-sen Mill " Company, whose property "was assessed. 325.000 for the cost of the im provement. Councilman Vaughn wants the work to proceed, and Is determined to fight against cancelling tile contract. Discharged Laborers Appeal. Alleging "spite work" on the part of Park Superintendent Montleth, Charles Schnahel yesterday afternoon filed a petition for a review of the cases of four German laborers, recently discharged from the city employ in the parks. At the last meeting pf the park board, the superin tendent's action was confirmed, and At torney Schnabel now asks for a hearing for the men by the Civil Service Commis sion. The men say that one reason they lost tneir positions was because they re fused to contribute toward a Christmas present for' Mr. Montieth. The latter sets forth that he discharged the men be cause they were incompetent and lazy. Property-Owners Protest. There Is a general protest against the proposed widening of Sandy Road, be tween East Sixteenth and East Twenty eighth streets, and some of the property-owners threaten to sue the crty for damages, should the width be increased. A formal protest was filed yesterday with the Auditor, and will be investigated by the street committee of the Council at its next session. Today, and tomorrow will positively be the las" days for discount on West Side gas bills. Portland Gas Company. 1 r, X DID F.J. HENEY HELP SGHUEBEL? Some Observers Think They Trace Fine Hand in the r Appointment. BRISTOL; MADE SCAPEGOAT? Deserted y Heney In Order lo Dis credit Senator Fulton? Belief That U"Rcn Will Be Boost ed for : Governor. That Heney combined forces with Sen ator Bourne to put Schuebel into the of fice of Federal District Attorney arid dig Senator Fulton's political grave is the opinion of persons who think they trace the fine hand in Schuebel's appointment. And that W. C. Bristol, who is to give way to Schuebel in the office, was made a scapegoat of the game and kicked out on the pretext that he "insulted" the At-torney-General, Is the opinion of some others wno think they have traced the lines still further. Bristol deserted by Heney apd" blamed for Heney's delay to prosecute ihe land fraud defendants; Schuebel raised to his place to pay one of Bourne's qld political ! debts: Fulton driven -Into a corner, un able to make a showing for.' his candi date with the President and attacked by 1 Heney on the eve of his run for re-election to the Senate--all this is gossip on the tongues of persons who are trying to figure out the meaning of. the Schuebel appointment. V And since next in order for Bourne's favor is W. S. U'Ren, the Oregon City "lawgiver," arid there was talk in Bourne quarters some time ago of runrilng him to succeed Fulton (a plan evidently aban doned), the question now arises. What -.Job will U'Ren be 'boosted for? The fre quent answer Is, "Probably for Gover nor." . .'. . Bourne's Apology for Schuebel.' .The studied endtavor of Senator Bourne to represent that Schuebel made no effort to oust Bristol has raised the further question, "Why thj endeavor?" Was. it not proper for Schuebel to try to get( Bristol put out and himself put in? Why should there be any such apology? Why has it been so important to announce that Bristol put himself out, by insulting the Attorney-General with a telegram? Did not Heney want it kept dark that he was willing to behold Bristol a scapegoat, in order to make an alliance with Bourne that would defeat Fulton? ' All this surmise has cropped out of the mystery of Bristol's decapitation. The real cause of Brlstol's'fate has been dark and has caused 'much wonderment in Ore gon political circles. Now some .observ ers think they are getting the first ray of light. Heney called on the President the day before Christmas, Just two weeks be fore the-Schuebel appointment. That the President conferred, with him about the appointment jhere' can be little doubt. That Heney Rilled to. bolster .up, Bristol's cause is evident. That Heney has had an understanding with. Bourne for some time is the ausplcion of Bristol friends, and they, cite that not long ago -Heney con ferred in California with U'Ren. Bourne's close friend, on the occasion of U'Ren's visit to that. state. ." Chill Between -Heney and Bristol. When Heney was in Portland three weeks ago, there was a chilliness be tween he and Bristol: The two had a private interview, and didn't get along very well. Heney took the stand that Bristol' haa made his own trouble in Washington, and Bristol that the trou ble came from other sources from pon tics and from Heney's delayed prosecu tions. The Heney blame Bristol had shouldered without a whimper, and It now seemed Incumbent 'on Heney to square Bristol in Washington. Heney didn't see matters in that light, at all. Heney made- no effort fn Washington for Bristol's retention. He said before starting from Portland that .Bristol could take care of himself. Just before Heney set out for the National capital. Schue bel started for that place, and seems to have been there wjien Heney -arrived. Signs of a well-laid scheme to appoint Schuebel and discomfit Fulton appear In the whole business. The scheme was cleverly carried out. Bristol was caught between the two millstones, ' Bourne and Fulton, and abandoned by Heney to that fate. . Evidences of some such deal between Heney and Bourne are detected by ob serving ones, even at this distance. That they will be denied by both men is cer tain. But both desire the political un doing1 of Fulton, and what would be more natural tnan for them to unite? Bourne has wished to displace Bristol with his own favorite. Heney has been willing for this to be done. Together they lay a trap, for Fulton. Bristol is slain for sacrifice. Heney disclaims responsibility. Bristol's friends are of some importance. "Heney knows It. Two of them are Judge Gilbert and Judge Wolverton. . Thus far, Bourne has been author of the tale. Will Fulton write the next chapter? And will U'Ren be Oregon's'- next Governor? HENEY KEEPS HIS HANDS OFF Senator Bourne Says No Knowledge of Interference. ORBGONXAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 8. Until Christian Schuebel Is confirmed by the Senate, he cannot as sume the office of United States District Attorney, in Oregon. Appointments of this character require confirmation by the Senate when made while Congress is In session. Until Schuebel is confirmed Bristol will continue to act, for Schuebel's nomination stated, that he was appointed to succeed Bristol, "whose nomination has been withdrawn and who is now serving under a recess appointment." Should a fight be made on Schuebel and prevent action on his nomination this session, the President, after adjourn ment, could make a recess appointment, which would place him in office, and, by successive reappointments, could retain him in office ' indefinitely. . So far as can be ascertained Heney had no hand In the appointment of Sdhuebel. The Department of Justice officials say they heard of no Indorsement by him, or opposition to Bingham. Senator Bourne says he has no . knowledge that Heney Interfered In any way.- Pass Civil Service Tests.

" "Christ died to make the salvation of some men certain, not to make the salvation of all men possible," was the astonishing doctrine preached by Dr. W. H. Fosultes, the evangelist pastor of the First Presbyterian church,- last night. He justified It as follows: "The foundation of tbe cross is laid deep, enough to get ' under all men's sins, but if the great sacrifice upon it made the salvation of all men possible, then a man might be saved whether he believed or not. No. The sacrifice was made so that if you come to. the cross and .believe that your sins are nailed tljere you shall be saved. "The cross Is the bridge Of the chasm that enables us 'to. ascend from the depths of the . human heart to the heavenly heights. It is the reconciling cross with orte arm. over a sin-stricken world and the other reaching, to the throne Of God. -I am well aware that the. theory .of divine deliverance must not be founded on fancy. It must be age-long and ageless. God must match his wisdom and power with the tragedy that has overcome his universe. "But God is willing, able, and does save. ' He - has entered with the lost race and "taken the initiative of re demption. The question is Just how far must he enter Into the world to re deem it? Every religion has some form of revelation in which Jts deity comes down among men to make them what they, ought to be. Some say he must just come to the edge apd dip. In and dip out, as In the Buddhist concep tion, where he bears none of the burr dens. What good is it to be told the way to' climb the steeps if we have a burden upon our backs that Is grea'ter than we can bear? Men ban never' be delivered by the mere knowledge of truth. . -"Some say God must touch the senti ments, feeling and emotion. But that does not save all. Many a revival cap tures the feelings, but not the man. If God is to enter a lost world to sarve it, he must go down to the deepest depths, to the bottom of the pit In the human heart. That Is the reconciling cross. It cannot save from above, but must come down and lift up." The meetings will continue tonight and tomorrow night of -this week, and all next week. Beginning Monday night, Fred Butler, the famous singer who charmed so many while sing ing at the White Temple last Summer, will sing nightly. The women's prayer meeting today will be at the residence Of Mrs. P. J. Mann, 403 Third street, between 2 and 3 o'clock.
