THE 3I0RXING OKEGOIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1909. r , i Z i ' I J WOULD CLOSE UP HALF OF SALOONS Mayor Lane Would Provide Flace for Men to Go by Opening Churches. WANTS AID FOR REFORM Fays if Council and Church Organ izations Will Co-operate Half of Police Force May Ie Dismissed. Th City Council should revoke the li censes of ahout one-half of the saloons now operated In Portland, and the churches should oiwn their doors to the unemployed, and furnish reading-rooms nnd a place where men may go and rest, Instead of lookinR the doors and thereby forcing the homeloes to fpend their time In the liquor shops, according to the views of Hoyor Iane. The present system of the churches, in keeping locked doors throughout the week, is condemned hy him as a had practice, and one which atioiiM be discontinued forthwith. In fact, lie say the churcs are not doiryr their full duty by the common people, and es pecially by the poorer, more unfortunate classes, such as the workingmen who are unemployed, and that the situation should be remedied. The Mayor, in dlsctis-fing civic right eousness, said that Portland can be made a better, cleaner city and that he will lead In the movement, if the City Council and the churches will support him. There are many thlncs to be made bettor, he says, but he cannot do it alone; he has no power to revoke licenses of vicious dives." he says, and no power, cither, to unlock church doors or to fit up reariinir rooms in churches, so that poor working men, unemployed for the time being, may bave somewhere to go other than the E aloon. If the City Council will close up about one-h.ilf of the saloons that are now li cenced. ' said the Mayor. "I will willingly d'smiss half of the police force, for It will rot be needed. And if the churchy will throw open their doors everey day and right In the week, provide a place for poor men to go and read and rest. I predict that Portland will soon he a bettor city. The City Council is to blame for most of he trouble the police have to combat, and J Intend to ask the Council to revoke a large number of licenses, and to assist me In making this a better city In which to live. "Another element, the co-operation of which I ask. is the church. I have pre viously said that the church, as an organi zation. Is not dolrur Its full duty, aud I Intend to repeat in future what I have already said In this respect, with the ob ject In view of securing the co-operation of the churches In helping the poorer classes. It s"ems to me that, if I were a minister of the gospel. I would throw opn the doors of my church and bid the poor people come in: I would arrange rading matter for them, so they might sit down and read when out of employ ment: I would try to make It comfortable for them, without being offensive as to preaching to them all the time, so they would not be forced, as now. to go to a saloon to rest." The Mayor Is said to hold the view that .h,ki-.h in the citr should keep open rlnor. and cater to the poor and unem ployed, making arrangements for their comfort, so they would not have to go lo a saloon when in search of a resting place, as he saya thousands of men do at present. tt "My idea of the business of a church, said the Mayor, "is to comhat the saloons and evil places, and they cannot do this fullv until open doors are the rule in rhurchdom. They must have their houses of worship open to the needy and worthy people, or the people will have to continue going to the saloons for rest." GROWTH PLEASES DARTT Minneapolis Man Coming to Oregon to Make His ironic. George Ft. Partt. a prominent real es tate dealer of Minneapolis, accompanied by his wife. Is registered at the Cornelius Hotel and will remain several days vis iting in the city. Mr. Dartt spent several months In Portland during the Lewis and Clark Exposition and was surprised to see how much Portland has grown.in a fw years. On the former visit here Mr. lnrtt made up his mind to become an Oregon property-holder and for several days has been at Hood F.iver. He says he about made up his mind to have one of Hood River"s famous apple orchards. "I was much taken with Portland." SHld Mr. Dartt last night, "when I at tended your splendid Kxposltlon In 1S05, and I felt then there was a great future for your city. Like thousands of others, I naturally believed there would be a reaction after the Exposition, but It eerns that you solved the problem of holding a great exposition and at the same time returning a profit to the stock holders. Ever since my visit I have kept in close touch with the progress of Portland, but I must admit I was not prepared for the growth of the city, not only In its population, but Its handsome and substantial buildings that have risen during the few short years. It is simply wonderful." LINEMEN WANT MORE PAY Klectrlcal Workers Present Petition for $4 a Iny. There is a possibility of a clash be tween members of the Electricalworkers T'nion and their employers. Yesterday a committee (ram the union cnlled upon President Josselyn. of the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company, and pre sented a request for an advance in the wages of linemen from J3.75 to $4 a day of eight hours. A conference was held at Mr. Josse lyn's office, but s far as could be harned. no understanding Was reached. Mr. Josselyn refused to treat with the committee In its representative capacity, but agreed to listen to any complaints made by employes of the company. When the requeVt was made that an advance be considered by the company, the presi dent Informed the men that, inasmuch as higher wages are paid in Portland than In other cities of the Coast, or at least the working hours are shorter, he was rot Inclined to believe that the advance could be made under the circumstances. FIREMEN MAY BE DRILLED I'lan Suggested lo Kelieve Tedious nours on Duty. Portland firemen are to have some kind of a course of study something to relieve the monotony of their lives if John Montag. chairman of the fire com mittee of the City Executive Board, has his way. He declares that the members of the department have too much time on duty and too .little to busy them selves with. He thinks they need drill ing or instruction in their line of work to lighten and make Interesting and prof itable their long hours. Chief Campbell, in his annual report, recommemnded to the City Council the construction of a drill tower, in which the men could be drilled daily by a com petent drillmaster, but the funds were too low to warrant the use of any portion for such purpose, and no Improvement whatever in the line proposed was au thorized this year. While the depart ment Is being extended as to equipment, houses and apparatus, no allowance Is made for the comfort of the men. who f have but 12 hours each week off duty. Their recreation at the station-houses each day consists In the routine of clean ing up. reading two rules of the depart ment and taking the horses out for ex ercise runs. If there was a drill tower. Chief Camp bell explains, the men would be sent there daily. In suitable numbers, to under go drills and instruction by someone competent to train them, and they would thus be made more efficient in their duties and their long hours wculd be en livened. LEO FTtlEDE TO SPEXD $50,000 ON iFItTII STKEET. Structure Will Adjoin New Lumber men's Building Van Schuyver Residence Sold for $50,000. Another good building improvement is under way for Fifth .street. Leo Friede, who owns the lot 50x100 adjoining the Lumbermen's building, approaching com pletion at the northwest corner of Fifth and Stark, has given the commission to Architect Emil Schacht to prepare plans for a six-Btory structure. The building is to occupy the entire lot and is to be of concrete foundations, steel and mill con struction, and is now estimated to tost about JGO.OW. Mr. Friede said yesterday that the new building is to b devoted to salesrooms on the ground floor and pos sibly the second also, and the upper floors to be arranged in lofts for light manu facturing and storage purposes. He said work will be started as soon as the archi tect's plans are ready and passed upon, probably in March. There are two small frame houses on the ground now which will be torn down and excavation started in a short time. The lot was bought about three years ago from Scott Brooke, the con sideration being recorded as fciT.SOO. The beautiful new Van Schuyver resi dence at Twenty-fifth and IxveJoy streets, built in one of the most prominent locations in that part of the city, has been bought by G. F. Sanborn, a recent arrival in Oregon from Wisconsin. Mr. Sanborn is extensively engaged in tim ber and lumber business. He expects to move Into bis new home this Spring. The Van Schuyver residence was built by the late W. J. Van Schuyver on .plans and under the direction of Bennes, Hendricks & Tobey, but before the house was ready for occupancy the owner died suddenly. The cost of the building was estimated abo.it J.T5.000. but exceeded that figure somewhat. Mr. Sanborn paid J30,0i0 for the property, which is considered by realty men a reasonable valuation on the premises. AFTER LESS DRUNKENNESS JUSTICE OLSON' ISSUES ORDER AGAINST SALOONMEN. Constable Wagner to Arrest Any Barkeeper Selling Liquor to Man Partly Drunk. As a result of the Invocation of a stat ute that Is rarely enforced. Justice Ol son issued Instructions to the Constable's, office to arrest every saloon man in Mult nomah County who sells liquor to a man even partially Intoxicated. Constable Wagner will co-operate heartily with Jus tice Olson and a lively campaign is ex pected. "I. can't for the life of me, see how so many drunken men can be arrested every day by the police with no arrests of the persons who are responsible for their con dition," said Justice Olson. "There Is a law prohibiting the sale of liquor to in toxicated persons and we propose to see It enforced. The police may do as they please, arrest all the drunken men they tind. but In Justice it looks as though they might solve the question by arresting those who violate a law by permitting these men to cet into such a condition. You can rest assured that any such vio lator of the law who is brought before me and found guilty will not repeat the offense." Constable Wagner says he will co-operate with Justice Olson and obey his or ders strictly.- He has Instructed his depu ties to arrest all saloonmen who sell liqour to persons who are Intoxicated. This order was a result of the hearing yesterday of the case against J. W. Jones, a saloonkeeper, of Greshatn, who Is charged with selling liquor to an habitual drunkard. After arguments were sub mitted Justice Olson took the case under advisement. BETWEEN CAR AND BRIDGE Longshoreman Trying to Board Moving Trolley Is Crushed. An attempt to board a moving street car on the Steel bridge last night at S;10 o'clock almost cost Frank Richwald his life. His escape from death left him severely Injured, and he new lies In the Good Samaritan Hospital with- four broken ribs, facing a long, slow recovery. Richwald is a longshoreman in the employ of Albers Bros. Milling Com pany. He lives at 827 Cleveland avenue and was on his way home, walking east on the south walk of the bridge when Williams-avenue car 251, In . charge of Conductor Prescott and Motorman De mlng, came by. Richwald darted through the steel girders separating the roadway from the foot walk, and, al though the rear platform was crowded, tried to get a foothold on the steps. The conductor shouted a warning. Richwald disregarded the admonitions and swung on. In another second his body was caught between the next steel girder which was passed and the moving car, sustaining a terrible crushing. He would have fallen under the wheels had It not been for the prompt action of several passengers, who reached out and grasped his mangled form, upholding it until the car was brought to a stop. The Injured man was carried Into the room of the bridge watchman. Officials of the streetcar company Bent an ambu lance for him and had him removed to the hospital, where surgeons set the broken ribs and dressed the numerous contusions and lacerations be had received.. 1Y HOLD UP BILLS County Court Says Purchase of Fuel Was Unauthorized. WOOD ORDERED BY AUDITOR Brandes Has 20 Cords of Slabs De livered at Courthouse and Orders Oil-Burning Apparatus in Basement Removed. Bills on "0 cords of wood that has been delivered at the Courthouse during the past few clays -may be held up by the County Court as the result of what is termed an unauthorized purchase of the fuel by Auditor Brandes. It to said that the Auditor had no more authority to buy the wood than did one of the janitors or other employes of the county. Mystery has attached itself to the piling up of the wood for nearly a week past. Busy teamsters have been contributing dally to a growing mountain of fuel the source of which no one knew. The County Court, which is given exclusive authority for buying fuel, under the law, had not ordered It. Hence It was supposed that some philanthropist was ' donating the wood for use during the Summer months. But even then the donation would have been of questionable benefit, since oil has been the fuel used for heating the Court house these many years. That the oil was not working very well, was suspected yesterday morning when everyone about the premises got to shivering. "What on earth is the matter with that engineer in the basement?" everyone was asking. Finally several county employes ven tured into the basement to inquire why more oil was not turned on. A strange sight met their view. The engineer, cov ered with grime, was wrestling with green and soggy wood which was willing to smoulder but not to burn. He said he was doing the best he could. He reported to the County Court that he had removed the oil-burning apparatus at the order of the Auditor and was now burning the new fuel supply. Just whether the bills will be held up Is a question yet to be passed upon by the court and Commissioners. It is learned authoritatively that such action is consid ered. Yet Mr. Brandes says the bills cannot well be held up, since he was authorized by tlie court to make the pur chase. At least, in a conversation some time ago. Judge Webster suggested that when the weather grew warmer it might be more economical to quit using oil and buy some wood. But as to being directly authorized it is stated that Mr. Brandes got no formal order for the change and that the court and Commissioners were the most surprised of all "on learning of such a change In the middle of the Winter. The law bearing on the subject Is quite clear. It says: The County Court hns the authority anA power pertaining to County Commissioners to transact county business, that Is (Sec. 21 To provide otlicog nntl furniture, books. ST-itinnery. fuel and light therefor, for the Sheriff. County Clerk and Treasurer or other county officers. The fuel wrs purchased from the Ban-fleld-Veysey Fuel Company and the bills have not yet been presented to the County Court for approval. "The way that various county officials are assuming authority that does not be long to them and the way duties are mixed up among the various offices Is something in need of Inquiry." said -a well-known official yesterday. "It is for tunate that an expert accountant Is now at work on the county books and affairs and the expert's duties will not be com plete unless he Is called upon to Inquire as to what duties are now In the hands of Improper authority. There might as well be no laws relating to the operation of certain county offices from the way these laws are Ignored. And thlscondl tlon has been going on for years." WOMAN GIVEN $1500 DAMAGES Oregon Electric Must ray Rosa Merlo for Invading Property. Invasion of private property by a work ing gang sent out by the Oregon Electric Railway company proved costly in the State Circuit Court, late yesterday after noon, when a Jury returned a verdict awarding Rosa R. Merlo. nn Italian wo man, J1500 damages for Injuries Inflicted on her by an employe of the company. The Jury was out only a short time. In July the corporation was laying its right-of-way thiough Eeaverton. The Merlo place was in line of the proposed route and the Merios refused to move. On Instruction from headquarters, the construction gang went forcibly Into the place, knocking down the Merlo fence. Mrs. Merlo, in attempting to prevent the foreman of the gang from knocking in a part of the fence, was roughly handled. An old fracture of her right arm was re newed and the pre- tature birth of a child was occasioned. She sued for J10.000 damages. MCST FACE MURDER CHARGE II. Goodager Indicted by Grand Jury With Two Others. Murder In the first degree Is the charge H. Goodager will have to face for shoot ing and killing Tony Moer, in a .North Knd saloon several nights since. An In dictment was returned against him by the county grand jury yesterday after noon. Goodager has maintained that he fired In self-defense. He Is a cripple, while Moer. was a husky logger. But It was shown to the satisfaction of the Jury that Goodager was partly drunk and need not have fired the fatal shot. He is In the County Jail. Two other indictments were returned simultaneously. Nick Boiler was held for stealing a watch from Klectra L. Myar. and S. O. Gray was indicted on a charje of embezzling JO.SO from the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany. Suit Against L. Gcrlinger. Suit of Myrtle L. -James against L. Gerlinger, owner of the Gerllnger block, for tM damages for - personal Injuries, was commenced before Circuit Judge Bronaugh, yesterday afternoon. She al leges that in passing In front of the building she was tripped by a projecting piece of an iron basement-door and badly bruised by the fall. William Palmer and C. G. Ellison, contractors, are named as co-defendants. DR. JAMES, NOTED AUTHOR Famous Callfornian Gives Series of Lectures in Centenary Church.

He Is a scien tist and explorer, author and orator. His book on "The Old Missions and Mission Indians," la the standard on this subject. tii "Whot the White Race May Warn from the Indians" has had an immense circulation. And his recent "Story of Scraggles," the biography of a little bird, bids fair to rival In interest and circula tion such books as "Black Beauty" and "Beautiful 3oe" Dr. James is here to lecture in Centenary Methodist Church and will be its guest for one week. He may be induced to write a book on Oregon to correspond with his famous work on California, "Through Ramona's Country," which created such an Instant Interest that the first edition was all sold before the books were out of the bindery.

I CHILDREN TO PLANT ROSES I'll TV BOYS AND 50 GIRLS WILL TAKE PART. Luther Burbank Sending New "Rose of Oregon'' for Rose-Planting Day, February 2 2. Arrangements are now being made by the committee in charge of the pro gramme of exercises for the celebration of the second annual "Rose Planting day." on February 2. Washington's birthday, to secure the participation of 60 boj's and 60 girls of the public schools who are to have charge of the planting of the 100 Cochet rose bushes. Half of. the roses are to be pink and the other half cream. It is not known, as yet, what the rose is which Luther Burbank, the world-renowned naturalist, will send to Portland for dedication as the "Rose of Ore gon." Mr. Burbank has not notified the committee as to the variety if this type of the "queen flower," but says It will be forwarded in plenty of time to be here for the formal observance of the planting-day anniversary. A conference of the committee has been held with Park Superintendent Emil T. Mische, and Mr. Mische has readily consented to provide for the planting of the 100 roses on Washington's birthday on the two-acre tract owned by the city and surrounding the Forestry building on the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds. This arrangement is regarded as the most satisfactory one that could have been made, for the reason that there Is very little shrubbery, no flowers and no form of vegetative embellishment on this tract. While the full details have not been completed, it Is likely that the City Park department will furnish .a sufficient number of men to prepare: the ground for the reception of the rosese. and that the little boys and girls from the public schools will simply be asked to Imbed the plants, the park department employes doing the rest. The "Rose of Oregon." the special variety which Luther Bur bank has produced at his experimental station, will be set out in a most promi nent place and will be the one upon which the "Blessing of the Rose" will be conferred by Bishop Charles Scadding. of the "Episcopal diocese. Plans for entertaining the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition officials who have promised to be present will await advices from Seattle so that it may be known how many are to be provided for. The Rose Festival Association is waiting to hear from the Peninsula Rose Association as to what it expects to do in the way of participating in the cele bration. This association has announced that it was making plans to take some part, hut has not taken the matter up with the general committee up to the present time.
