14 EVERYBODY HITS AT "OLD Question of Enforcing Street Contracts Causes Stir at Committee Meeting. MANY EXCUSES OFFERED Contractors Have Various Reasons to Explain Delay In Doing AVork and Difference of Opinion Ex ists as to Method Procedure. 'The old Board," came In for cutting ind unkind remarks, and upon Its shoulders was laid the burdens of many a contractor, during a long: session of the Street Committee of the City Ex ecutive Board, yesterday afternoon. Laxity In handling- contracts was one of the allegations laid at the door of "'the old board." which was composed of R. L. Sabin, Richard Wilson and D. A. Pattullo. They are the trio who resigned when Mayor Lane rendered Ills opinion of their official actions, Home eight months ago. Dilatory con tractors yesterday took advantage of 'the occasion in an effort to clear their own skirts, to cast reflection upon the exmembers, and the Mayor added his Jnite by saying: "The old Board put up a bold front but did not enforce con tracts." The delinquency of G. K. Howitt, contractor on East Sixty-ninth street. In the Mount Tabor district, was the original cause of the pow-wow yes terday afternoon. Mayor Lane. Isaac Swett, P. E. Sullivan and H. M. Est erly. comprising the committee on streets, labored loud and long in the -frort to find a way out of a difficulty which was characterized as serious. Contractors on many streets are far behind in their work, and at every ses sion of the street committee they come ( before the members with all manner of excuses, offered in extenuation of their failure to comply with the terms of the contract In point of completing Im provements on time, in order to escape lines. Swett Wants Golden Medium. Isaac Swett. chairman of the com mittee, said he wanted to "strike a ftolden medium in dealing with the con tractors." p. E. Sullivan declared "the committee must " be lenient and look more to fair play and Justice than to the strict enforcement of the terms of the contracts." while H. M. Esterly said "the whole system is a farce, a by-word and a hiss, and should be ab rogated, or the committee should en force the contract terms." Contractor Howitt. a new man in the business, finished grading East Sixty-J-ilnth street 12 days late, and Mr Es terly wanted to penalize him SS a day tbe sum provided by law where con tracts are less than S5000; Mr. Swett wanted the matter sent back to City Engineer Taylor for further details about the allegation that the street car company held up the work by re fusing to do its share at the crossing on Belmont street. As there was complaint that the streetcar company's delay in perform ing its share of work held up the im provement for some time, and as the Mayor and members of the Board de clared they have many such complaints all over the city, a resolution was adopted asking the City Council to pass an ordinance, "reasonably regulating" the company In such instances in fu ture, as provided it may do by the charter. This will relieve the Execu tive Board, it was explained, and will place upon the Council a good deal of responsibility in improvement work. Streetcar Company Blamed. JOOltn Moplra wava Altn . everai streets, and it was explained that they had been delayed by the streetcar company, also. Contracts of the Star Sand Company were also re ported far behind completion in the contract time, especially several streets in Alblna. and a further discussion as how best to regulate contractors raged in committee for more than one .hour on this point. A representative of the company made a strong point of .the allegation that the old committee members "had a tacit understanding" that they would allow extensions of time in all cases where reasonable ex cuses v-re offered by contractors. "In other words, the old committee went back of the contract in an oral statement." suggested Mr. Esterly. "Well, it was understood by all the contractors that extensions of time would be granted for reasonable delays." replied the representative. "This thing of slsnlr.g a contract, and then having a 'tacit understanding- to the contrary, is a farce, a by-word and a Jitss. and will never work." remarked Mr. Esterly. "!t us either abrogate the rules, or enforce the terms of these con tracts that Is my policy." Major Kps Old Board. "I will tell you about the old board." said Mayor Iane. "The members put up a bold front, but did not enforce the terms of the contracts. They tried to tnake believe they would, but they did not do it." "Well. I think we should enforce, these contracts." said Mr. Esterly, "no matter whet the old board did." "Oh. heavens." exclaimed Mr. Swett, 'Tou are absolutely wrong. Mr. Esterly. in your view; you have not a leg to stand on absolutely none." whereupon every one present enjoyed a laugh at Mr. Ksterly's expense, and Mayor Lane com mented: "I've got a different board now; they don't agree on things." The Star Sand Company also made a strong point of the fact that, while some of its contracts are late in completion the streets had been filled with crushed rook, and had been made passable for traffic before the "Winter set in. Mayor I-ane commended this plan, and said It would be well to lay all streets that way. and In this the members of the committee agreed. After considerable debate, the company was penalised In the sum of $270 for delay. "Let It go.- said Chris Mlnslnger. the manager, "It will all come out in the wash." Mr. Mlnslnger said he believed that, if the Executive Board purposes to penalize contractors for delinquency, it should also give them a bonus for completing work ahead of the contract time, and the Mayor said he believed that would be a Kot plan, but the city cannot do this under the present charter. EVANS TALKS TO POINT Noted Rear-Admiral Ijectures With Remarkable Dlrectnes. . Delightful In humor, authoritative in 'fit Jjuuent and pleasing in personality. BOARD Admiral Robley D. Evans is meeting "..u icwuuuie success on nis present lecturing tour that includes the big cities of the country. He talks with an offhand directness that wins his hearers immediately. "His bluntness is a good-natured sort that fits into a lecture and makes its delivery as telling as the Are of a well almed 12-inch gun. There are no wast ed shots," says the St. Louis Globe Democrat in commenting on the fa mous sea fighter's visit to that city. "The story he himself told of the Missouri farmer boy who was to per form his first target practice at Mag dalena Bay symbolizes the Admiral's method of lecturing. The boy, hewaid. was a little nervous, didn't know any thing about the gun, but he bravely fired nine shots and when the smoke --. v . j i units notes in the target. You note that when Admiral peaKs nine sentences, every sentence hits the mark. No profession al talker who has visited St. Louis in some years surpassed him." Rear Admiral Evans, will lecture at the Armory on the night of March 31 under the auspices of the Portland Commercial Club. ALIMONY MUST BE PAID WIFE NO. 1 CAMPS OX TRAIL OF COFFEY AND WIFE NO. 2. Alleges He Gave Present Spouse Di amonds, but Did Not Deliver Money Ordered by Court. D. D. Coffey, at one time Assessor in Marlon County, and his wife, Margaret M. Coffey, must pay Carrie W. Coffey, Coffey's former wife, 1160 alimony. This was the decision of Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday afternoon. Coffey obtained a divorce from Mrs. Carrie Coffey in Feb ruary, 1907. The decree carried with it alimony of 10 a month. When her ex huband failed to pay, Mrs. Carrie Coffey brougnt suit, obtained Judgment for 160 and the Sheriff was directed to levy an execution of Coffey's property. But he could find none on which to levy, so Mrs. Coffey brought suit against her ex-husband and his present wife, charging them with having conspired to defraud his creditors. The complaint charged that various tracts of land in Vernon were bought by Coffey and his second wife but that they were ell placed in her name. Mrs. Margaret Coffey, whom Mrs. Car rie Coffey says is otherwise known as' Maggie South, said on the witness stand yesterday that she had J1000 when she marri3d Coffey. He was. to manage the real estate transactions and upon the in terest of .their investments they were to pay expenses. Mrs. Coffey No. 2 said that her first husband, whose name was Montgomery, failed to support -her, so she secured a di vorce from him on "Washington's Birth day, 1906. She married Coffey at Everett, Wash., in March, 1907. After obtaining her divorce from Montgomery, she said she worked in logging and mining camps and in restaurants as a cook until she had accumulated J1000. She said she was at work in the logging camps for about three months. The testimony showed that al though Coffey was able .to give his second wife a 2o diamond as a Christmas pres ent in 1907. he had not paid his first wife's alimony.

Pfeif fer Telia How He Deserted Her for New Love and Paid No Attention to His Child Divorce by Default. Albert L. Howard, chief steward on the steamer Geo. W. Elder, obtained a divorce from Rose Agnes Howard yester day afternoon. Circuit Judge Gantenbein heard the evidence and granted the decree. Howard and his wife were mar ried in San Francisco, May 15, 1902, and went on a honeymoon trip to Australia. Howard said he gave his wife the best of everything, but that she deserted him a year ago in January, taking J5200 of his monXl Hs Baw her two weeks ago in San Francisco, but she would not return to live with him, he said. R. Rogers, third officer on the Geo. W Elder, testified he has known Howard for the last 12 years, that he was on the ship bound for Australia on which the Howards took their honeymoon trip. -He said Howard treated his wife well. Harry Young, agent of the North Pa cific Steamship Company, said Howard was first employed on the steamer Roa noke as steward, and that he did his work so well that he was transferred to the Elder. Young spoke of him as "the best man we have." 'i Tale of Deserted Wife. Nell Sayre Peiffer was given a divorce by Judge Gantenbein yesterday afternoon from Albert J. Peiffer, salesman for the' Breyman Leather Company. She said her husband has become Infatuated with a Spokane woman, whose name she did not give, and left her in February, 1907. "How did he come to leave," asked her attorney. "Shall I tell Just h6w it happened?" she asked, as she shrank from making public her family troubles. "Well," she continued,- "he met another woman whom he preferred to me. so he stayed away, and forbid me to go to see him. I used to go to see Mm, until he said he didn't care for me any more," she added. "He said I had been everything a wife could be to him, but that we couldn't control our affections." As she spoke, her little 2-year-old child toddled about the courtroom, making friends with the attorneys, court clerk and newspaper men. until Bailiff Courtney yielded to the impulse, and took the little girl up in his arms. There she seemed perfectly contented, failing to heed the i - - - ill i utiy uam tnat her husband had paid no more at- iciniun xo nis oaDe than If It had not existed. Her sister then took the witness stand and said that Mrs. Peiffer was her husband's "slave," when he was at home. An agreement signed by Peiffer was in troduced in r-nnrt li 1 li t. .7 . . he shall pay his wife $3000 in cash, pay .icr .iiunicjrs- zees or jsou, deed her a lot on Wlllamefte Heights, and three Sots in SellwoorL. nnri v 9A a -mrtnV. .

Alleges W7ife Stole Jewelry. , Emll Lang has answered his wife's divorce complaint by saying she con tinually found fault with everything he did, objected to living on a farm near Hood River, although he is a farmer and depends on the crops for his sup port and that of his wife, and continually made uncomplimentary comparisons be tween her first husband and the second. Lang also says that his wife, Anna, is addicted to the use of Intoxicating liquors, and that she made secret trips to Port land to procure these. He discovered several whisky bottles behind her trimk, he says. Further than this, he -states she put her threats to leave him into execu tion last December, and took with her when she left,- two watches, a diamond and other valuables, which Lang says are his property. He says that when they were married at Astoria. January 27, 1908, they both invested their money in furni ture for their home. He asks that he be I given tne decree of divorce, and that the court divide the household effects' be tween himself and his wife. Charles A. Cemer says that the tender and considerate manner in twhich he treated Fllmina Cemer failed to keep her at borne, and that she has not returned to him since July. 1906.

HUSBAND SUES FOR $10,000 George Hanlon Accuses A. F. Reed of Alienating Wife. Tempted with costly dresses and other articles of feminine finery, and Induced by A. F. Reed, owner of the Bachelor Saloon, . to drink with him, Mrs. Eva Hanlon transferred iher affections from her husband to the saloonkeeper, accord ing to George Hanlon's charges. He filed in the Circuit Court yesterday morning a complaint, in which he demands 10,000 damages from Reed for the love of Han lon's wife. The Hanlons were married at Vancouver, Wash., October 14, 1901. Hanlon says that his wife made his home a little heaven until November, 1908, when she fell under the Influence of Reed. He adds that the saloon keeper first iplied her with liquor from his saloon at 143 Third street, and then took advantage of her intoxicated con dition to induce her to go to live with him at his residence at 327 Larabee street. The wilful seduction which is charged against Reed has caused -Hanlon great disgrace and distress of body and mind, he says, which he thinks is worth $10,000.

THE JACOBS-STINE COMPANY 148 FIFTH ST. :ffinEasm)' urn A Strong Argument The strongest sset this company can offer as an inducement to investors to purchase $100 units in its $300,000 building project is the location of the prop erty. The northwest corner of Fourth and Alder streets, 100x100 feet square, is the actual retail cen ter of a city of nearly 300,000 population. The proper-. ty we have already secured. That such men as Theo dore B. Wilcox, William S. Ladd and other Portland multi-millionaires are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for similar corners, not nearly so well located, should appeal to the investor con vincingly. To ask you to participate in such an un dertaking as this is not asking too much. It is, in fact, conferring a favor upon you, as your money could earn you no more than this project will earn, no matter where it is invested.
