10 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, J90S. MONEY WASTED. SAYS DRISCOlL Councilman Makes Sensation al Charge Against City Officials. BLUNDER COSTS $20,900 Fire Alarm Cables Alleged to Hare Been Put In at Expense of Tax payers, Though Outlay Was Entirely Unnecessary. .Sensational disclosures regarding an allegd .blunder of city officials that is said to have cost taxpayers $20,900, were made yesterday afternoon by Coimci'man Driscoll, during a heated debate at a meeting of the street com mittee, railed to consider the applica tion for a franchise made by the Na tional Automatic Fire Alarm Company. It Is charged that this sum was ex pended needlessly, since the Home Telephone Company, by the terms of its franchise, could have been forced hy the administration to put in cables for the electric wires of the fire-alarm service, for which the money was spent. Mayor Lane, when asked for a state ment, declared that the matter was brought to his attention but three days ago. He said he had already begun an investigation, by addressing a communication to Charles A. Savar ian. City Electrician, under whose supervision the wiring for the fire de partment is done. As yet the Mayor has received no reply. He was there fore not in a position, he said, to throw any light upon the subject, and could make no further statement, except to assert that It may be found that the City Council is involved, as he thought if a large purchase of cable was made, the Council authorized it. In such case, he said, those voting for it would probably be as culpable as any others. Savarlan Not Informed. City Electrician bavarian said that the Council authorized the purchase of cable for the fire department about a year ago. and that the bills were received last October, aggregating about $20,900. He said he did not know whether or not the franchise of the Home Telephone Company carried a provision that bound it to furnish sucb cables, or "conductors" for the city; but If such a provision Is con tained in the franchise, he said, some one has mads a mistake. Who is blamable, he eaid he could not de termine. Tt is evident, judging from investiga tion, that this matter is destined to arouse a bitter controversy. It Is said that It will be carried into the Council sooner or later and that Mayor Lane and his political advisers will be charged with the JUft.flnn, Inasmuch as the order for the cable Is said to have come from the. executive branch of the administra tion. Some members of the Council, It Is said, may be involved, for voting for an appropriation for the purchase, if it was an unnecessary expense. That the matter will be thoroughly investigated seems certain. Councilman Iriscnll, after declaring in the debate that the city had paid out about 10.000 of the taxpayers' money ridlessly for fire department equipment, declined to make any further statement. He refused to discuss the matter. Hold Lively Session. The session of the street committee of the Council, specially called to consider the Automatic Kire Alarm Company's application for a franchise, was the live liest meeting of the committee in many months. Couneilmen Kellaher. Cottel and Concannon locked horns with Coun eilmen Vaughn. Wallace and Drlscoil over the matter, the former being un favorable to any arrangement whereby the applicants would be granted the privi lege of using the. city's poles, conduits and wires for its system. Councilman Kellaher has led the fight against the granting of the franchise from the time it was introduced Into the Council, and has announced that he will continue the fight to the end. As matters now stand, howevjer. It is predicted that he will lose the battle. Against him are lined up Couneilmen who are in the ma jority and in addition Councilman Vaughn favors the franchise. Mr. Vaughn is usually found voting against anything that Councilman Driscoll favors, but In this Instance they are standing together. From this it would seem that nothing can defeat passage of the measure. TJuring the meeting yesterday afternoon In the committee meeting. Couneilmen Kellaher and Drlscoil frequently disa greed, and, in a burst of Indignation, Mr. Driscoll declared that the city has spent about $30,000 needlessly for fire depart ment cables. His remark led to an in vestigation, resulting in the disclosures mentioned. Xo Recommendation Made. After hearing arguments for and against the proposed franchise by R. W. Montague, the company's legal repre sentave: Superintendent Walker, of the Automatic Company: Fire Chief Camp bell, Electrician Savarian and some of the Couneilmen, a vote was taken. The result was that no recommendation was made to the Council on the matter. Coun eilmen Kellaher. Cottel and Concannon voted against granting the franchise: Couneilmen Wallace and Driscoll voted In favor of its passage and Councilman Vaughn, who was in the chair, declined to vote. Chief Campbell and City Electrician Savarian are opposed to the franchise, because they declare the automatic sys tem should be separate and apart from the city's fire-alarm system. This is also the view of all the Couneilmen who oppose the franchise- BRIDGE BIDS REJECTED Executive Board Will Let Contracts .Next Wednesday. In order to expedite the awarding of a contract for the construction of a rein forced concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch on S;sst Twenty-eighth street, the Executive Board yesterday afternoon voted to adjourn to meet next Wednes day at 4 P. M. The bridge committee will hold a session at 2 o'clock the same day to make a recommendation. The Executive Board rejected four bids of Robert Wakefield and one of the Pa cific Engineering Company, these being above the estimate and limjt allowed by the Board. This leaves three bids from which to select. Tbe Northwest Bridge Company, of Portland, which recently re ceived the award for the construction of a steel bridge across the gulch on Union avenue, Is the lowest bidder in this in stance, its tender being $6-1.400. 1'nless something unforeseen arises, it will be obligatory upon the Board to award this firm the contract. The other bids are by Paquet, Gieblsch & Joplin. for $73,000, and the Contracting Engineering Company, for $67,750. The citizens of the district in which the bridge is to be built are very anxious to have the contract let, and It is be cause of this that the members of the Executive Board ordered the adjourned meeting. MRS. SOPHIE GEER IS DEAD Wife or P. W. Geer and Daughter of Well-Known Sllverton Family. Mrs. Sophie Geer, wife of P. W. Geer and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Wolf, of Sllverton, Or., died last night at 6:30 o'clock, at the Good Sa maritan Hospital, after an illness of two months. Her husband, her mother and her brother. Dr. Louis J. Wolf, were at her bedside when the end came. News of Mrs. Geer's death will bring sincere sorrow and regret to a large circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Geer were married in New York City barely a year ago. the ceremony being per- !i,r. The Ijito Mrs. gorthie Geer. formed by Mayor McClellan. Mrs. Geer's Illness was not generally known of by her friends. She was brought West when her condition first became serious, two months ago, from ber home at Morris Plains. N. J., where Mr. Geer had charge of the Homer Davenport farm. Mrs. Geer was a finely eduacted and unusually talented young woman, hav ing spent three years In New York de veloping a marked ability in music and elocution. She was a bright enter tainer, and invariably was the soul of the social affairs she attended. She was born In Oregon 33 years ago, and spent most of her years at Sllverton, the home of her parents, and also of Mr. Geer. Her brother. Dr. Wolf, was physician with the last Peary expedi tion to the North Pole. Partial arrangements for the funeral were made last night, and the services will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Holman chapel. FAVORS SMALL COLLEGES Dr. W. H. Foulkes Lectures Before Women's Club. Rev. W. H. Foulkes' was the speaker of the afternoon at the Woman's Club meeting yesterday, 'his topic being "The Small College." After touching briefly on the origin and history of the modern American intellectual movement. he showed how the small colleges, scattered everywhere, are the natural and inevit able 'expression of the American spirit, just as the universities of Oxford and Cambridge are an expression of English aristocracy, while the universities of Ber lin and Leinaic and the gymnastics of Germany represent most fittingly the Ger man imperial spirit. The speaker summarized the reasons why the small college ideal and reality should continue in strength. First It comes in closest contact with the homes of the people. Second It de pends largely upon the voluntary sup port of the communities In which it exists and, while laying a burden upon them, gives them vigor to bear the burden. Third It makes possible a liberal educa tion for . many who would otherwise be unable to obtain it. 'Fourth It furnishes students and professors for the larger universities. Fifth Drawing, as It does, on the resources of the various denomi nations which it represents, it helps to save the church from being self-centered. Six It appeals to the generosity of men who do not confuse bigness with great ness. Seventh It promises to perpetu ate the democratic spirit, to relieve in tellectual congestion and to promote com munity loyalty without developing sec tional jealousies. Eighth It will con tinue to place emphasis upon character as the basis of culture and by the pre dominance of the moral elements in its constitution and methods, develop a full rounded manhood and womanhood. In conclusion Dr. Foulkes said: "As the end of all individual discipline is the development and perfection of one's own powers of mind and heart, so the ideal of social discipline is none other than the bringing to its full flower the best earthly institution God .ever estab lished: whiqh. despite social distinctions, immoral assaults, and religious indiffer ence has persisted In keeping, in the main, true to its heaven-ordained mission and which, better than any college or club, " embodies the spirit of American social and religious responsibility and liberty; that institution of which the mother is the earthly center, heaven the final prototype and eternity the only end the home." FORFEITS HIS CITY JOB John Brooks,- Convicted of Misde meanor, Is Discharged. Superintendent Donaldson, of the Street cleaning Department, sent in a communi cation to the Executive Board yesterday afternoon, recommending the discharge of John Brooks. The Board adopted the re port. "Superintendent Donaldson recommends the dismissal from the service of Mr Brooks," said Mayor Lane, explaining the case. "What will you do with the recommendation? "Brooks was employed in the Street cleaning Department," explained Auditor Barbur. "Wbat is he doing now?" asked C A. Cogswell, a member of the Board. "He's breaking rock at Kelly Butte," replied the Auditor. "He was found guilty of a misdemeanor and the Muni cipal Judge sent him to the rockpile." "Then he is in the street work yet." remarked the Mayor. "And crushed rock is scarce, too. R. W. Pryke, who formerly drove a hose cart for the Fire Department, was also dismissed from the service of the city because of Intoxication and inatten tion to duty.

WILL PAVE STARK STREET Property-Owners Demand Improve ment, Despite Increase in Size of Tender Other Bids Held Vp Until Xcxt Wednesday. Although the members of the City Council and the Executive Board have recently expressed themselves as of the opinion that it would be a good thing to arrange some means of "holding down" tbe bids of the Warren Construction Com pany and the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, alleged trusts, the Warren concern won a victory to the extent of $16,876 yesterday afternoon before the Ex ecutive Board. The personal appearance before the members of a number of large property-owners, and their unanimous re quests for a hard-surface pavement, re sulted In the award of a contract to that corporation for bitullthic from Seventh to Burnslde streets on Stark street. Notwithstanding the fact that, after readvertlsing for this improvement three times, the Warren Construction Company, tbe sole handlers of bitullthic, increased its bid, the people owning property abutting- clamored ' for the pavement and secured what they desired. This, they explained. Is because they are willing to pay almost any price to have the Im provement. Owing to the fact that property-owners on Belmont street have contested an im provement of bitulithic. and that the matur Is now under consideration by Circuit Judge Cleland. Assistant City At torney Grant advised the Executive Board yesterday afternoon to hold up all bids for bitulithic pavement until a decision is rendered. It was eaid that this may be done today. Whether or not the city has the legal right to use this prepara tion for paving, is the question to be decided. If Judge Cleland holds it has not, it is "said no more contracts for this brand of paving wil! be let in this city. That the Warren Construction Company and the. Barber Asphalt Company have a big fight on band, seems apparent, from the attitude of the members of both the City Council and the Executive Board. After Assistant City Attorney Grant ad vised holding up other bids of the Warren corporation, several bids were ordered laid over until Wednesday next, when there will be an adjourned meeting of the Board. If Judge Cleland decides the pending case in the meantime, action will be taken accordingly. There is a movement on in the City Council to fix a maximum rate to be charged for bitulithic and asphalt paving, and a strong sentiment prevails among some of the members for tbe appointment of a special committee to investigate and make a report. In the case of recent bids by the War ren Construction Company, Jt has been very noticeable that where readvertise ments have been ordered, the concern has increased its rate. In the contract that was awarded by the Executive Board yes terday .afternoon, at the special per sonal request of the abutting property owners, the bid the last time wtis $1400 higher than It was at first. This was after the improvement was advertised three times. At a recent meeting of the street com mittee of the Council. Couneilmen Rush light, Cottel and Vaughn declared them selves in favor of curbing the alleged trust and fixing a maximum rate. No action was taken, however, and the matter con tinues as usual. FEW FAVOR ALDRICH BILL POKTIiAXD BANKERS' VIEWS OX PROPOSED MEASURE. Board of Trade Ascertains Opinions In Response to Request for Fa vorable Action. In connection with the request that the Board of Trade take action upon the Aldrich emergency currency bill, that or ganization has taken up the matter with the different banks of the city. President William MacRae, of the Bank of California, expresses himself as opposed to this bill, believing that it .would not be a proper remedy for ex isting conditions. On the other hand, he strongly Inclines toward the formation of a central bank with a large paid-up capital, and branches in the most Im portant commercial centers of each state. His conviction is that this plan would come nearer meeting the i requirements of the business community and be a more satisfactory basis for currency than the present one.- . President A. L.' Mills.' of the First Na tional Bank, has the following to say in regard to the measure: "Though not agreeing fully with the provisions of the Aldrich bill, I neverthe less believe its passage would be a dis tinct benefit to the country, and if such a law had been in existence last Fall, there would have been no panic. The opportunity to obtain an emergency cur rency, as suggested in this bill, would have stopped the runs upon the trust companies in New York, and conse quently there would have been no wide spread trouble. As an emergency meas ure, the Aldrich bill la a good one. I hope that eventually a currency commis sion will be appointed to prepare a proper financing measure based some what upon the lines adopted in Germany and France." President J. Frank Watson, of the Mer chants' National Bank, is opposed to any scheme for granting National banks the privilege of issuing currency based on anything but United States bonds, as is the custom now. President Cohen, of the Portland Trust Company; President Peter Hume, of the Bank of Sellwood, and President H. H. Newhall. of the East Side Bank, bave also expressed themselves as opposed to the Aldrich bill. As soon as the replies from the other banks have been received, the matter wi(l be submitted to a special committee of the board.

DEMURRERS ARGUED TODAY Indictments In the Ross Bank Cases Are Attacked. Attorneys for J. Thorburn Roes and the other officials of the defunct Title Guar antee & Trust Company, now under in dictment, will argue this morning the de murrers filed in the Circuit Court, Judge Gantenbein, Judge O'Day and Judge Bro naugh will sit en banc in department, .No. 1. and will jointly decide whether the de murrers are sufficient ground for dismiss ing the Indictments by which tbe officials are charged with receiving money, know ing the bank to be insolvent. The demur rers contend that, although the charge may come under the new banking law, passed by the last Legislature, the law is not yet In effect. Argument on the demurrers In the three other cases of the state against the bank officials were heard by Presiding Judge Cleland, who will not sit with the other judges this morning, that he may avoid any charge of violating the proprieties of the presiding Judgeship. The demurrers In the other cases have not yet been passed on by Judge Cleland. WOMAN CHOKES A COYOTE i Strangles Wolf After Animal Had Sunk His Teeth in Her Breast. Choking a coyote to death after the animal had fastened his teeth in her breast is the experience related of Mrs. T. A. Caldwell by the Lakeview Exam iner. According to the Examiner, Mrs. Caldwell, who lives on the M. Wingfleld ranch, near Adel, was attracted to the barnyard by a commotion among the poultry. Discovering that a coyote was making a raid on her chickens, Mrs. Caldwell sought to scare away the ani mal. She had no idea that the wolf would attack her. but releasing his hold on a hen, the animal turned fiercely on the woman, who, as she started to beat a hasty retreat, tripped and fell. The coyote was upon her In a moment and fastened his teeth in her breast. Mrs. Caldwell grabbed Mr. Coyote by the throat, and notwithstanding his des perate efforts to free himself from the woman's clutch, the animal finally sank exhausted, but the brave woman did not release her hold until the animal was dead, and dead to stay. The coyote was skinned, and Mrs. Caldwell will keep the hide as a souvenir of the most blood curdling experience in her life. EIGHT FEET KfUH SCENIC PHOTOS. See them at Kiser's. 248 Alder st.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VOTE Mothers Belonging to Organization Vnite to Carry Re.-olution Bel llngham Will Send Exhibit to Show Theaters to Assist. The Portland Women's Club, at its meeting yesterday afternoon, went on record in favor of having the school chil dren of the city participate in the floral parade the second day of the Rose Fes tival next June. The question was dis cussed at some length, and the final vote was 34 to 28 in favor of the plan. What Is more significant than the mere figures of the vote is the fact that the members of the club who have children were a unit In favor of it. The leaders of the fight to give the children a part In the celebration took the position that the little people them selves were not only eager to parade, but that the whole festival Idea was a beautiful object lesson to them and of great educational value. "Well.'' remarked Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, who was one of the strongest champions of the plan at the meeting, "the situation was about like this. The mothers all want their children to take part In this beautiful demonstration. We don't see where there can be any harm in it. and we do see where great good can come of It. Rnd It helps make the little boys and girls feel that they are some thing of a factor in our civic life. Like Old Bachelors. "The members of the club who were against the idea were, as a rule, women without any children, and they are like a lot of old bachelors: they know more about raising a family of boys and girls than any mother ever did know. By all means, the children should be allowed to have their parade, and I hope the principals of the public schools will give their consent. The principals of the public schools will settle the matter at a meeting to be held at the Ladd School, at 9 o'clock this morning, and it is a question whether consent will be given, for the members of the Board of Education, at least a ma jority of them, are opposed to the plan and a number of the principals have ex pressed themselves as of-like mind. At the same time, public sentimfnt In gen eral is heartily in favor of the project for the reason that the children's parade, of last year was the most picturesque and interesting feature of the whole Rose Carnival. Bellingham. Wash., is not only con sldering sending a float to appear in the All-Northwestern parade, but will prob- ablv send exhibits of flowers for the ex position, which will continue two days during the week. Bellingham Is Interested. Ross Welch, secretary of the Belling ham Chamber of Commerce, has written that tbe matter will come before the next meeting of that body with the chances largely in favor of some sub Btantial participation. The Bellingham Reveille is also doing what boosting it can for the Portland Rose Festival, and wants to send a delegation of citizens here, as well as to enter a display of flowers In the show, as the following edi torial explains: .. If It Is at all pnssible Belllnfham should accept the invitation of Portland to take part In the coming- flower festival which baa caused the Oreson metropolis to be known far and wide as "The Rosa City." There are some people, and very desirable citizens they are, who act uaon impres sions received from a beautiful .display of flowers, in deciding:. UDon. a new home. a well as many who are interested In displays of bia potatoes, tall wheat nnd remark able timber products. Already Bellineham. through the efforts of the Roearians. enjoys an enviable repu tation aa a flower center, and it will not be lone until we are known as tha great est bulb-growing place In the "United States. It would be an excellent thing to take ad vantage of Portland's invitation and make a floral display that will convince a por tion of the world that the bulb Industry has been started here In earnest. It Is true the date of the Portland fair conies so late in the season that only our late tulips can be shown, but we should make an Imposing dis play of them. Theaters Will Assist. The local theatrical managers will co operate with the Rose Festival manage ment towards making the big event next June a success that will be worthy of Portland and the entire Northwest. At a meeting of representatives of the Heillg, Marquam, Baker, Lyric, Empire, Star, Grand and Pantages theaters it was decided to give a monster benefit for the festival fund at the Marquam on the afternoon of Friday, March 13. The Imperial Amusement Company gives the Marquam free for the matinee, and all the theaters will contribute acts. Roseburg Sends Delegate. ROSE BURG, Or., Feb. 2S. (Special.) W. L. Cobb, of this city, chairmen of the official board of the Metnodist Church, South, has been chosen as delegate to the laymen's missionary conference of his church, in Chattanooga, Tenn., April 20 to 23.
