14 PROTEST IS MADE AGAINST BRIDGE Port of Portland Hears Objec tions to Proposed Rail road Structure. EAST SIDE PEOPLE OBJECT Change In Approaches of New Span ln Xorth Portland Is Opposed Strenuously Port Offi cials Delay Action. , Tho brldire committee of the Port of : roruMia, comprised of President C. F. I PwlRert. W. D. WIlMlvHirhl anl T T ; Wills, held a special meeting at the City , j.hu yesieroay afternoon for the purpose criug statements regarding the pro , posed new bridge of the O. R. & N. . across tne Willamette River. Residents , of Holladay avenue and members of the I Holladay Improvement Association -were present to protest against changing the ' location of the approaches and also to i the type of span contemplated by the ,jlUei engineer Boschke and i Arthur C. Spencer, of the leral rienort- ment. -were present as representatives of I rJiroaa. Adjournment was taken at I 'clock 111 order to give time in which blue prints of the approaches suggested by the company may be secured for pres I entatlon at a subsequent session. The type of bridge proposed by the . railway company's officials is much the same as the present Steel bridge, and does not permit of the passage of river craft of the smaller size without the , opening of the draw, which la the chief I objection to the proposition from the . ftandpolnt of the pilots and those depend ent upon the crossing of the span by streetcar. There Is vigorous protest also from owners of property on Holladay I "venue, now the east approach to the , Steel bridge, and they object strenuously . to the changing of the east approaches I as proposed. j ; Lock-wort Finds a Way. 1 ..Chi Engineer J. B. C. Lock wood, of j w.n i uri or jt-ortiana, presented a plan Tnai is calculated to appease the wrath of the Holladay avenue contingent, which proposes to add another approach to Hie east end of the span, running in from Holladay avenue. This, It Is ar rued, would give the people on Holladay avenue a means of egress and Ingress, should the present struct ho j by the new one, with the location of the (approaches changed as proposed by the , railway company officials. This, how t ever, did not seem satisfactory to the 1 people directly Interested, and did not lorwi mucn comment from them, lawyer Alex Bernstein represented the residents along Holladay avenue, and de clared that, to change the established approaches would mean o- i j both to business and to the people of the I city at large. He said that the avenue leading to the east approach of the pres ' T,.81 brl5& having been so long es j tatolished. and being paved, makes it a handsome drive, and tourists and others by the thousands use that avenue In , J"" com,n from the East Side, lie said be regards It as very poor public I policy to permit the contemplated changes, and pleaded with members of , the committee to make an adverse report ( to the Port. Brings Bridges) Closer. Borne of the members of the Improve ment Association endeavored to bring out the fact that a recent collision of a steamer with the Burnside-street bridge was caused by the close proximity of that span to the Steel bridge. In order to show that should the proposed changes In the position of the new structure be allowed. It would create much greater danger of farther accidents, as It would bring the Steel and Burnside-street bridges so much closer together. The type of bridge proposed by the railway company officials Is no Improve ment over the present style of steel bridge now In place, according to those who were protesting n t. i , ... t - I "IT V openo"1 r every river boat wbloh has to go through the draw.

However, the railway company was not Included on this bridge, which was proposed to be built lust north of the stel span now In place. The west approach of the bridge pro posed by the railway company Is placed at Gllsan street, and the east approaches ? iLt?reKon "nd Aams streets, with , the third suggested to land In from Hol , laday avenue. The chief objection to the Ulan 1. that It will Impede the river traffic and hold up streetcar, team and . redestrlan travel, according to those who protest asainst It.

CHINESE CARUSO'S WAGE Iiocal Performer at Bungalow Re ceives $1.10 Per Night. Who knows of the early days of Enrico Caruso? Who can tell what he was paid, and whether he earned his salary or not? Probably, like Tol Kue, he had to begin way down at the bot tom of the ladder. Tol Kue Is a Chinaman with a voice. Not that a voice Is so unusual, but when Donald Bowles, one night after the performance of the "First Born" at the Bungalow, heard the Carn-liv accents of Tol Kue extolling the merits of the chop suey provided for the de lectation of the theater performers by their admirers, he felt he hnfl ft. wonder almost In sight. In fact Mr. Bowles said so an ap proached the balladist. "Will you sing on the stage?" asked the stage manager of the Chinese, who, together with a number of others, had been en staged to give the necessary Oriental atmosphere to the play. With true Far Eastern subtlety, Kue held out for pay. For long the argument waxed and waned. Bowles was willing to pay the extortionate price demanded, but he thought of the other Orientals, who might unanimously strike to sing, with the higher salary attached, and murred. Finally he agreed that 10 cents on what was hiin the other Chinese, and Tol Kha ac cordingly sing this week for Bungalow o-uu.cutea at tne munificent rate of 1.10 a night. All that Mr. Bowles asks Is that publicity will not be given to what Caru30 receives. It might lead to difficulties with Tol Kue. he fears. Scarlet Fever Is Epidemic. CENTRALIA, Wash., April 22.

Who Has Been Through Many Vicissitudes of Life Was Once Engaged to Talented Mrs. Frederick MacMonnies, Recently Divorced, Who Is Also Friend of Jeff Hayes. ' y HAUNTED by the memory of the days when he was engaged to Mrs. Frederick MacMonnies, wife of the American sculptor resident In Paris, who recently obtained a divorce from her husband. George E. Miller has descended the social scale until he Is at present a messenger in the employ of the Western Union. Jeff Hayes, manager of h Kmin Messenger Company, tells the story of a beautiful woman of artistic temperament and good natured, who fell passionately in love with Miller, then a telegraph op erator at St. Lopls, where Mrs. MacMon nies' father was manager of the Western Union lines. Mrs. MacMonnies. or as she was tbot. known. Miss Mamie Fatrchlld, was one of the belles of St. Louis and as much ad mired for her social qualities as for her beauty. She came to know many of the knights of the key through her father's leiegrapnic connection. With one of these. Gtorra TJ mui ... Intimacy was developed that beginning in propinquity went on until the engagement of the couple was announced. TVTtno ambitious and forceful, tired of his life and came West to make his fortune. In Nevada Miller obtained catlafsnr employment but his letters to Miss Fair child gradually lost their warmth until they became newsy letters of the ordi nary, friendly kind. The break finally came when Miller married the daughter of Mayor Austin of Nevada, and the couple lost sight of each other. From operator to Nevada, from Ne vada to San Francisco, where, traveling for a crockery house he became one of the most popular salesmen on the Paci fic Coast, and from salesman to a tele graph messenger in Portland; are the vicissitudes of Miller. Although his wife and child are still In San Francisco, the firm for whom he worked went into dissolution at the time of the earthquake. Miller was incapa citated by a sunstroke in Arizona and this militated against his chances for obtaining continuous employment. At the Lewis and Clark fair he ap peared with a theatrical troupe and was considered popular. As a messenger he la out of his place. He talks like a cultured man, although apt to wander a little on his troubles. . But talk to him of Miss Fan-child watch his face light up. Suggest to him that now MacMonnies Is divorced, the field is open to him, and you will see reflected in, his face tha hope of a lifetime. Then he will sadly say, "I am married and my wife Is in San Francisco. Mrs. Mac Monies Is only my friend now." After Miller's marriage Miss Fair child continued with her art Btudies and painted one picture that brought her world-wide fame. Then she began to long to go further afield, and when .the artist and sculptor.. Frederick Mac Monnies, approached her, she agreed to link her life with his. This was In 1SS8 They had not been long married when they took up their residence In Paris Both were good-natured and compatible In temper. MacMonnies was fond of adu lation and praise. He liked to have his wife spoken of as the "wife of Frederick MacMonnies." and It cut him to the quick to find her reaching fame on her As time passed the cares of a family THE MORXrvTr LISTS ARE CLOSED FOR GITY PRIMARY Final Petitions Are Filed by As pirants for Nomination. Before People. FOUR WOULD BE MAYOR Simon, Bailey, Rushlight and Mo Donell Formally in Race, but Democrats Will Depend-on Writing In Xame. With, the exception of George Bl Frank, who withdrew as a candidate for the nomination for Councilman from the Tenth Ward, every Republican aspirant for municipal office nimiifioH nn. his nominating petition with City Auditor Barbur before 5 o'clock yesterday after noon and will go before the voters for their Indorsement In the primary nom inating election Saturday, May 8. All four of the candidates for Mayor filed. Joseph Simon, choice of the Republican assembly, filed his nominating petition several days ago, while his three op ponents did not qualify as candidates until yesterday afternoon. They are Councilman A. G. Rushlight, who has the Indorsement of the anti-assembly forces; State Senator A. A. Bailey, who is asking support as an antl-conventlon candidate, and C. E. McDonell. who is running on his merits' as a young man, and who promises a businesslike ad ministration of municipal affairs if nom inated and elected. Of the quartet, Mr. McDonell was the last to file his nominating petition. He submitted his credentials as a candidate lust before the City Auditor's office closed yester day. Will Write On Names. As in the city election two years ago, candidates for favor among the Demo cratic voters of the city will depend upon their nomination from the writing of their names on the nominating ballot. Not one of them qualified as a candidate by filing with the City Auditor a nom inating petition. On the Republican side, however, aside from the four candidates for Mayor, five aspire to the two nomina tions as Councilmen-at-large, while City Auditor Barbur, City Treasurer Werleln and City Attorney Kavanaugh have no opposition in their candidacy for re nomination. There is considerable strife for the nomination of Ward Councilmen in each of the five wards from which candidates are to be nominated. With one man only to be nominated from each "ward, there are two candidates for the Job in the Second. Ward, three from the Third, three from -he Fifth, four from the Ninth and eight from the Tenth. Of the group of candidates, Thomas C. Devlin, for Councilman-at-large; Coun cilman H. W. Wallace, for renominatlon from the Second, and Sam L. Wood ward, for Councilman from the Tenth, are the only ones who do not request that some statement be printed after their names on the primary nominating ballot. A complete list of the Repub lican candidates and the message they desire submitted to the voters following their names on the ballot follows: Mayor. A. A. Bailey A progressive, common sense business administration and no favor itism. C. BJ. McDonell mlnlstratlon. - -A fair and Impartial ad- A. G.

Miller. caused Mrs. MacMonnies to relinquish her art work and the jealousy of her husband subsided. The family grew older and In the last few years Mrs. MacMonnies has been able to return to her old love her work. Possibly the fact that he Is said to be entertaining hopes of an alliance with the daughter of Senator Jones, of Cali fornia, may also have Influenced his desires to be free from his accomplished wire. Jeff Hayes, author of "Tales of the Sierras, was an old-time friend of the couple and has been in constant com munication with them. He recently wrote to Mrs. MacMonnies asking her if she would Induce her husband to Il lustrate a work of his. The fact that he received no reply led him to believe there was some trouble between the pair for herself, she would have done it In a w6nV Jamto hBJ mado MacMonnies. Without him he would still be unknown . Hayes talks with great pleasure of his friendship with the youngV oU ? Although he has not seen her for 25 years she still occupies a warm spot In Ws heart. That he revered and liked dfj Z "ftloned. and anything she did was, to him, perfectly right.
