l4 - THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1909. " ' ' I : HEWITT PLANNING MPET Tacoman Purchases Control of Economy and St. John Companies. ACQUIRES STOCK QUIETLY Jarns lom Attorneys Portland Gas Company's Franchise Xot Exclu sive and Is in Position to Be gin Operations at Once. Hcmr Hewitt, a millionaire Tacoma capitalist, has bought a controlling In terest In the Economy Gas Company and the St. John Gas Company. It Is be lieved to be the intention of Mr. Hewitt and his associates to start an Indepen dent gas company to supply Portland and suburbs In opposition 'to the Port land Gas Company. This would involve the expenditure for plant and distribution tystem of several million dollars. Mr. Hewitt has moved very quietly in picking up the floating snares of these two companies and it was only yesterday, when deals were closed for several large blocks of stock, that the movement be came known. Both the Economy Gas Company and the St. John Gas Company have fran chises permitting Immediate operation, so that control of these two companies gives Mr. Hewitt and his associates the opportunity of proceeding to carry out thlr plans without the necessity of secur ing franchises from the Councils of the two cities. It is known also that Mr. Hewitt has had attorneys carefully scrutinizing the franchise of the Portland Gas Company and has received opinions to the effect tliat the franchise of the Portland Gas Company, granted by the territorial Leg islature, does not give it exclusive privl lese of furnishing gas to the City of Portland. The fact that Mr. Hewitt has spent a large sum of money buying up the stock of the Economy Gas Company Indicates also that he has faith in the validity of the Economy Gas Company's franchise voted by the people of Portland In June. 1907. under the Initiative, as the Economy Gas Company has no other assets beside this franchise. Kconomy Needed Money. The acquisition of a majority of stock In the Economy Gas Company of Port land by Henry Hewitt is an indication pointing to a, lighting deal of no small magnitude. While the Economy Gas franchise has been in existence since June. 1907. It has lacked the financial backing neeaed. Despite the strong opposition of cor poration Interests the franchise was passed by the people, when referred to them by the City Council, for when It became known that one of the princi pal provisions of the franchise was that to become operative the Economy Gas Company must turn gas- through the. mains at the reduced charge of 95 cents, all opposition became entirely neutralized. The first holders of the franchise were merely acting as agents for larse finan cial interests in the East, which, being involved In the panic and consequent hard times of 1607 and 1908, failed to pro vide the money to push the deal on to consummation. Since that time there have been various attempts to dispose of the franchise, but the figure at which it was held, it is believed, held the local gas company from the purchase. Final ly, after passing through the hands of several dummies, the stock centered in the hands of George Morgan, an Ala bama attorney, having offices In the Goodnough building, from whom It has passed directly Into the hands of the Hewitt interests. As Hewitt already holds the franchise for the St. John Gas Company, with a piant there in course of construction. It can be seen that obtaining the Economy franchise Indicates a probability of his entering the field in direct competition to the Portland Gas Company. That this is not based on mere sup position is shown by certain amend ments to the franchise that the St. John Gas Company Is asking at the meeting of the St. John City Council tonight. The effecttof these would be to .show it is contemplated using the supply plant of St. John, with the gas holders to be located there, as a tempo rary supply for Portland, so that as soon as the first main Is laid, actual gas connection can be made. The mains of the St. John company are now In actual course of construction and by approaching almost to the city limits they can be ready at any moment to attach to mains laid in Portland. Henry Hewitt himself spent a consid erable time going over Portland last Sunday, when it was definitely learned that he had obtained his majority hold ing of the franchise stock, and went over the ground with his financial agent and a prominent gas engineer, W. S. Dole, who was formerly connected with the Portland Gas Company. Previous to his connection with Mr. Hewitt. Dole was In charge of Adolph Spreckeis' plant at San Francisco, and has also been assist ant superintendent of the People's Gas Company, of Chicago. During Mr. Hewitt's visit the three went over a considerable part of St. John and dis cussed the location of certain mains. Af ter that visit It is known that options and purchases were made In various parts of the city, and in particular sev eral sites in the north end and Wheeler's Addition were secured for the company. Furthermore, two riverfront" sites on both sides of the river were obtained on short-term option, and If the plans of the proposed company are brought to a consummation, the final purchase, will be made almost Immediately. George Morgan, who is associated with Mr. Hewitt In the deal, has, it is be lieved, been recently associated with the group of Seattle capitalists in their re cent operations, but it Is not definitely known whether he has Induced capital from that direction to come Into the re cent operation. Henry Hewitt, while not being seen In the field himself, has had his agents continually on the spot. "W. S. Dole spending practically the whole of to day at St John going over the situation. Mr. Dole also visited and examined In greater detail the tracts which It is known the company hold options on. Company Means Business. Kad these recent operations been In the hands of a minor group of capitalists, it might be believed the project had been got together with the sole idea of in ducing the Portland Gaa Company to pur chase the franchise and then of allowing It to lapse. Instead of this, however, the taxes, amounting to over $300. were recently paid in cash at Salem and the State license was duly paid. This busi ness procedure, it is thought. Is a direct Indication that the manufacture of gas on a larse scale will be started by Hewitt and his associates. With regard to the St. John plant. 0 IIIIl'J where Henry Hewitt also has the con trolling interest, there has been a recent successful stock Issue and construction there is likely to be pushed this Sum mer. The plans call for the erection of a $400,000 gas manufacturing plant and this would appear to be considerably greater than the City of St. John will require for a considerable time to come. It is surmised, therefore, that Mr. Hew itt has in contemplation competition with the Portland Gas Company at the earliest possible date, i The Portland Gas Company has ap proximately 200 miles of mains, and to duplicate this and allow for the city's future needs would require approxi mately two years. A prominent gas engineer said yesterday that there were mains in many parts of the city that would not have to be laid, but allow ing for the growth of the city, the amount of mains required would ap proximate the above figure. Should Mr. Hewitt finally decide to embark on competition with the local company. It is stated the quality of gas will be considerably better than that of the local company. Indeed one of the Interested parties paid that Mr. Hewitt had been directed to' the deal by the complaints that had been made regard ing the quality and force of the gas sup plied through the mains. Some IS months ago the Portland Gas Company reduced its gas rates to the present standard, and this change, it is said, was brought about by the possibility of opposition unoer the present franchise. Should the construction of a plant not be immediately proceeded with, It Js like ly that an attempt will be made to make a Junction with the mains of the St. John plant, if the amendments now before the Council of that city are favor ably considered tonifiht. The Economy Gas franchise was granted to a group of four men headed by R. W. Oolson, a broker, until recently a resi dent here. R. W. Colson sold out to in terests representing Ueorge Morgan, as did D. J. Tomasini, of 3f) Hancock street, former secretary of the Economy Gas Company. While Tomasini had only a small holding in the company, he declined to state what consideration he had re ceived. While he stated that the com pany was capitalized at J1.000.0W. the as sessable capital actually amounted to several thousand dollars. He. had sold, he said, without any Idea of the gas opera tion now being closed. B. S. Pague, an attorney ln the Ore gonian building, stated that he had had a fifth interest in the concern. Mr. Pague gave no financial consideration for this, it being understood that his lesal sen-ices were to act in place thereof. He believed . that the issue was entirely bona fide and that but for the financial panic of a year ago the franchise would have been put in actual operation. HEWITT IS MCIriMIIXIOXAIRE Plans to t'se Coal From Mines He Owns to Manufacture Gns. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 22. (Special.) "Myself and some very strong friends now own the controlling interest in what is known as the Independent Gas Com pany," said Henry Hewitt. Jr., tonlRht. -I made a deal for it lately and we think we have a pretty good thing. The Port land company claims to hold title under a franchise, but we think its franchise ran out 20 years ago. The charter for our company was given by vote of the people. It required bond, which was filed, hut wmcn me city did not accept. The bond was per fectly good. A small amount of work was done under the charter and tr.en stopped. I have looked the thing up and think the company's rights are valid and would not have bought a controlling In terest did I not think so and were I not prepared to go ahead. I own a lot of coal lands on the Northern Pacific and on the Cowlitz, and on Coos Bay, and expect to use the coal to make gas. We are making our plans to go ahead and do business, otherwise we would not have gone Into It at all." Henry Hewitt, Jr., is probably the larg est Individual owner of timber lands in the West, and is a multi-millionaire. Ho is one of the largest stockholders in the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, and one of its directors. He is also a large stockholder in the Fidelity Trust Company Bank and has a controlling in terest In the Wilkeson Coal mines, which produce the best coking coal west of the mountains. He has large timber, iron and coal in terests In British Columbia and else where. He has spent more than any other man in prospecting for coal and iron in Washington and Oregon, and Is an expert authority. For several years he has been heavily Interested in the Coos Bay country.

BRUTAL, SHE SAYS Mrs. Parker, Landlady Quelle, Accuses Police. of CHARGES ARE ALL DENIED Officers Say In Reply to Allegations of Brutality and Indignities They "Were Merely After Officer Stuart and Xo One Else. That the raU on the Quelle lodging house Sunday night, in which Officer Stuart was found in company with a woman other than his wife, was con ducted with humiliation to innocent per sons on the part of the raiding officers, Is maintained by Mrs. Llllie J. Parker, landlady of the place. She says that the elderly cduple taken from their room to the police station are respectable mar ried people from Salem, and that they had been in the habit of putting up at the Quelle when In the city. She charges the officers making the raid with caus ing an unnecessary disturbance and heaping indignities on the people routed out of their rooms. According to Mrs. Parker's allegations, the officers' conduct was of a nature so flagrant as to Justify a departmental in vestigation. The police deny these charges alto gether. Sergeant Kienlen. who was in charge of the raid, says that none of the inmates of the place were subjected to humiliating treatment and that as soon as Officer Stuart, who was the ob ject of the search, was found, the search ceased and nobody else in the house was disturbed. "We were ordered by the Chief to go to the Quelle," said Sergeant Kienlen, "and when we asked the land lady if Officer Stuart was in the house, she shielded him and said nobody answering the description was there. Then we told her we would have to go through the house, and Sergeants Keller and Kay and the other officers then knocked on the doors till we found "the room where officer Stuart was. The couple who gave their names as Early,' I saw by the register of the house had registered, or the man had, by the name of Ed Durano, or something like that, from Salem, the woman said to be his wife was not registered as such, of at all. Besides that room had been rented to four different people that same night, according to the register." Mrs. Parker was loud in her denun ciation of the ways of the officers and said they not only insulted the woman who was found with Durano, who she says Is at least 50 years old, but even stayed In the room while they com pelled her to dress before taking her to the station. This is denied by the po lice, who say that nobody was in the room whjle the woman was dressing, and that as to her being an old mar ried woman, she looked to be about 35. They also say that the character of the place run by Mrs. Parker has not been above reproach for a long time. Mrs. Parker asserts she offered the officers a pass-key when they came, but that they refused It and proceeded to dis turb the house and its Inmates. The po lice deny that they were offered a pass key, and say Mrs. Parker tried all along to shield Stuart. Mrs. Parker states that the officers compelled women to get out of their rooms into the halls while they went through the rooms, and made both men and women light the gas while they conducted an exhaustive search of the rooms, even prying Into closets and under couches. Tills, too, is denied by the officers, who say they were after Officer Stuart merely, and were not making a regular raid. Sergeant Kienlen said: "We knew well enough we couldn't go through a room without a search war rant, and we did not try to get anybody out. When we found Stuart we took him away and that ended the raid." ANOTHER RIDDELL LECTURE Home Training Association to Hear of "Child Culture." Newton N.

Un 1 1 iria i-oorse for any doctor, fi Consult Me First Even though your case may he one that soma other doctor is able to cure, and though his cure be absolutely thorough and permanent, there Is yet good cause for your coming to mo for treat ment. The service I render is entirely unlike and better than the ordinary. I have devised new and scientific methods of treating mens diseases in all their phases. I euro cases that others cannot cure, and cases that others can cure I cure in less time and without pain or possibility of injury. All my forms of treatment have been perfected along the lines of Nature's requirements and are in exact harmony with the natural recuperative forces. Therefore, no cures are painless, prompt and thorough. I Will Wait for My Fee Until I Cure You CONTRACTED DISORDERS Varicocele The serious results that may follow neg lect of diseases could scarcely be exagger ated. Safety demands an absolutely thor ough euro in tiie least possible time. I have treated more cases of these disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of treatment require in producing even doubtful results. I employ remedies of my own devising, and my treatment is equally effective in both re cent, and chronic cases. I TREAT MEN ONLY The vast multitude of men who have taken my treatment have not been disappointed. They know that I do not promise more than I perforin. To them I have actually illus trated in the cure of their own cases the truth of what I claim, namely, that my treat ment is as certain to cure as it is that my patient engages my services and follows my directions. My success is due not alone to education, experience, skill and scientific equipment, but to the fact that I limit my study and practice strictly to diseases and weaknesses of men. To male maladies alone I have earnestly and exclusively devoted 2b years of my life, and on them all my facul ties are concentrated.
