Paving Company Makes Charge, Saying Rivals Seek to Lay Their Pavement In Way That Will Destroy Its Reputation. Mayor Lane and the members of the street committee of the Executive Board have decided to seek collection of 25 cents per car for all gravel, crushed rock or other material hauled over the lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company for the Pacific Bridge Company the past few years. This was announced publicly yesterday afternoon during a meeting of the committee, preceding the regular session of the Board. Vice-President P. I. Fuller, of the streetcar cor poration, and George W. Simons, man ager of the bridge company, were placed under oath by the Mayor and made state ments regarding the proposed pavement of Twenty-first street, which is believed by Mayor Lane to show collusion between the two concerns. Mayor Lane laid great stress upon the fact that Charles F. Swigert, president of the Pacific Bridge Company, is a direc tor in the streetcar corporation, and said "it looks as though he Is using his posi tions in both companies to the advant age of both, as against the property owners." Ordinance Provides for Toll. Mayor Lane recently discovered an or dinance which provides that the city shall receive 25 cents for each carload of material hauled over the streetcar tracks and this was read at the session of the street committee. Mr. Simons said he knew all about It years ago, but that ex-City Auditor T. C. Devlin, when asked regarding it, construed it as not applic able to the bridge company's oporat.ons. The Mayor and members of the com mittee expressed themselves as surprised that Mr. Devlin should have made such a ruling. P. IS. Sullivan remarked that he "thought the city had a legal adviser who construed ordinances." Mayor Lane placed Messrs. Fuller and Simons under oath to make inquiry as to why a rate of 90 cents per yard for con crete Is charged the streetcar company when It is admitted by both concerns that It can be laid for 55 cents per yard; the Mayor also wanted to know where this profit goes alter the payment is made. Neither witness answered this satisfactorily, and the result Is that the bids Df the bridge company and of the Warren Construction Company fo the proposed bltuhthlc pavement on Twenty first street were rejected. II as sam Company Makes Charges. At the meeting of the Executive Board Immediately following the representatives of the Oregon Hasan m Paving Companies entered vigorous objection to action by the Board to award five contracts for East Side streets to J. M. Sweeney. The latter Is the lowesf bidder, but has no permit to lay Hassam, which is protected by a Federal patent, and it Is said to be doubtful that Mr. Sweeney will receive the contracts. The .agent for the Hassam comnany plainly stated that rivals are trying a clever game to beat him out of the work and to lay some Hassam In a manner that will destroy its reputation in this city. Mayor Lane, when questioned, told the members of the Board "some affable gentlemen seem to be desirous of as sisting the Hassam company in laying some of this brand." The Mayor said he underatmds that rivals of the concern are using Mr. Sweeney in an effort to drive the Hassam firm out of business. Mr. Sweeney is a well-known contrac tor, but never before has he bid on pavements. He was represented by coun sel, who said that the Executive Board has no right tc say that Mr. Sweeney is irresponsible, as he has just been awarded the largest contract for railroad-building ever awarded in this section. This is the Lytle railroad contract. Both sides of the controversy declare they will resort to the courts if their rights are. ignored by the Board. The entire matter was referred to the committee. CONCRETE USED FOR SEWER Sellwood Conduit Is First of Kind ' to Be Built Here. Something: new In the way of con crete Is being- used In the new sewer system at Sellwood. on which work has been started. About one mile and a half of the main conduit, running: from three to two and one-half feet In diam eter. Is being; built of reinforced con crete, the first of the sort so far as known to be built here. This mate rial was selected by the committee from the Sellwood Board of Trade for the reason that It promised to cost less than brick or stone, and because it was recommended by the City Kngineer. The concrete conduit Is egg-shaped. The entire sewer will require about 10 miles of pipe ranging: down from three feet to 12 Inches. Provisions are made for lot connections. Yesterday a copy of the plans and specifications of the entire system were furnished 1). M. Donaugh. president of the Sell wood Board of Trade, and at the next meeting: a special sewer committee will be appointed to watch the construction of the system from start to finish. This committee will keep In touch with the inspectors furnished by the city. The Pacific Contract Company Is doing; the work. The cost is about IS5.000.

ACCUSED OF SETTING FIRES Man Charged With Spltework Against Cattlemen' In Jail. Accused of maliciously destroying valuable timber by setting spite fires in the Umatilla Forest Reserve, and under Indictment for this offense by the last Federal grand jury, Poilee Spray, alias Fred Spain, a cowboy liv ing near Spray, Crook County, Ore gon, was arrested yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Nicholson and brought to this city to await trial. He was placed In the County Jail in de fault of $5000 bail. Spray has been the object of search by the Federal officers for a number of months. The offenses' with which he Is charged occurred last September, but he evaded the officers at the time and made his escape to British Colum bia, where he has been in hiding since. He wrote to the office of the Forest Supervisor in his district saying he would return and stand trial upon the charge. Upon evidence gathered against Spray by Forest Supervisor Chidsey, It appears that Spray became involved in a difficulty with a number of cattle men In that county and In no less Than nine Instances set large fires, with the intention of destroying their pasturage. The fires spread with dire ful effect and caused great damage. From evidence submitted to United States Attorney John McCourt, that official believes Spray's conviction Is sure. The' Federal statutes provide the punishment may be as high as im prisonment for five years and a fine as high as $5000. Rose Festival Benefit Postponed. Owing to the fact that several of the acts which had been depended upon to carry the Rose Festival benefit through could not appear at the big entertain ment at the Baker Theater tonight, the event has been postponed until the first week of June. It Is to be held at the Melllg either June 4 or 6, both nights being dark. The date will be selected with a view to accommodating the talent which will be on the pro gramme of the local playhouses on those dates. Rehearsals of most of the acts which were to be run off at the show tonight, had already been held before It was found that the programme could not be carried out as planned. Many of the numbers are absolutely new and with the postponement plenty of chance to work them Into tip-top shape will be afforded. St, John Schools to Reopen. The public schools of St. John will reopen Monday, May 17, after having been closed for ten days owing to the epidemic of measles. Both school build ings have been thoroughly fumigated. A report haa been circulated In the town that all pupils will be required to be vaccinated before they will be al lowed to resume their school work. This rumor Is entirely erroneous. "While the School Board strongly recommends that pupils undergo vaccination. It is by no means compulsory. There have been a number of cases of measles In town for the past six or eight weeks. It was owing to the spread of the dis ease that the school authorities de cided to close the schools. The num ber of cases has steadily diminished and It Is now considered advisable to resume the sessions. Rent money will buy a home.

CONTESTED BILLS TO GO ON BALLOT Court Rules That All Names on Initiative Petitions Must Be. Counted. TEST, FOR FRAUD LATER Decision That Signers Need Not Be Registered Affects Lighting, Ex cise Board. Wiring and Bridge Questions. The Excise Board bill, the Kellaher municipal light and power plant bill, the proposed wiring ordinance and the measure for the transfer of the Madison-street bridge fund to the Market street bridge fund will go on the bal lot at the coming election, unless it is found the petitions do not contain 15 per cent of the number of votes cast at the last city election. All of the petitions will meet this require ment. But even though these measures are passed by the voters of the city, -they may afterward be declared Invalid by the courts should It be shown that signatures on the initiative petitions were forged. This, in effect, was the decision of Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh yesterday. Judge Bronaugh held that: All legal voters, whether registered or not, are entitled to sign an initia tive petition. The law requires only that a copy of the proposed act be attached to each aggregate of sheets containing signa tures, not that the act be fastened to each sheet of names. A petition is valid even though each sheet contains 21 names instead of 20. The City Auditor has no right to reject any signature on a petition, either because it is forged or because the voter is not registered. That is the exercise of a judicial function con ferred only upon the courts. Bills Will. Be Printed. The fear was entertained by the at torneys who are fighting to put the petitions through that unless the court Issued a peremptory writ of mandamus against the City Auditor yesterday morning or last night the petitions could not be placed on the ballot, as the law requires their publication In the city official newspaper not later than today. But Judge Bronaugh was assured by Auditor Barbur that he had ordered all the petitions published. He can now print the petition on the bal lot or not, according to the final rul ing of the court. This was satisfactory to all the at torneys Interested in the cases, and the court ordered a hearing of the Excise Board petition case and the municipal lighting plant case, on their merits at 2 P. M. today. The Injunction suit of the Postal Telegraph Company against the City Auditor over the wiring ordi nance, and the Injunction case of R. M. Wade against the City Auditor over the transfer of the Madison bridge fund to Market street, will come up for hear ing Monday, probably at 9:30 A. M. Judge Bronaugh's decisions yesterday morning were in overruling the demurrers of the City Auditor, made through City Attorney Kavanaugh, lo the petition of Paul Rader for a wrrc of mandamus di recting the City Auditor to place the Excise Board petition on the ballot, and the mandamus suit of Dan Kellaher to compel the placing of the municipal light ing plant petition on tne ballot. hen the court overruled the demurrers, which were efforts to knock out the mandamus proceedings, Mr. Kavanaugh asked until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to file answers. To this Judge M. L. Pipes ob jected, as he said the right to answer was in the discretion of the court. The court held with him that no answer to these cases could be made except to deny that the petition contained 15 per cent of the voters, but allowed the time asked for to file the answers. Clash With City Attorney. Another legal skirmish took place in the afternoon, when Mr. Kavanaugh at tempted to Induce Attorneys Seneca Smith and James Cole, appearing for Paul Rader in the Excise Board matter, to accept service of the answers. The attorneys strenuously objected, and Mr. Kavanaugh answered: "I am not accustomed to this sort of sharp practice. I am accustomed to hav ing cases tried out on their merits, and not to taking these small, narrow excep tions. Any member of the profession ought to know that it was a physical im possibility to get these answers drawn up and filed sooner." "This has been a plain attempt all the way through to keep this case from trial," retorted Attorney Smith. "Counsel himself, who claims to be so reputable, told me several days ago that we had put him in a place where he would have to answer. He could have had his answer here several days ago. We will demand the Issuance of the peremptory writ of mandamus forthwith." Judge Bronaugh decided that the City Attorney might file his answer. Mr. Kavanaugh said he knew the Ex cise Board petition to be fraudulent. "I know personally that tuere are several hundred forged names," he said. Mr. Smith replied that it would take between 13,000 and 14,000 such to make it invalid. Judge Pipes, representing the municipal lighting petitlan, then stepped up and asked to place ex-Senator Dan Kellaher on the witness stand. The latter testified as to the manner in which the sheets of names were arranged. CANNOT PAY, HELD IN JAIL Men Who Made Fraudulent Land Entry Detained for Judgment. For the first time In two years two men are In the County Jail for debt. They are J. C. Burke and O. M. Stafford. Dep uty Sheriff Bulger arrested them yester day morning. They are timber men, re cently sued in the Circuit Court by Sam uel D. Locke and Christ Olson for having accepted money for locating Olson and Locke on claims and failing to perform their part of the agreement. Judge Gatens decided that they must pay Locke $168.60, and the court $29.40 costs, and Olson $290, with similar costs. The judg ment was returned April 19, the court finding them guilty of fraud. The Sher iff's deputies could find nothing belonging to Burke and Stafford on which to levy, and the execution was returned May 1, unsatisfied. The writ committing the pair to jail Is to be returned by Sheriff Stevens within 60 days, but the men must remain in jail until released by law. Notes of the Courts. J. R. Elereth, who contracted to do the brick work in L. Q. Swetland's seven story building, has brought suit Jn the Circuit Court against Swetland for $1628, which he says Is unpaid. He asserts that he performed extra, work, the entire bill amounting to $15,803. He says .only $14, 174 was paid. Nettle I. S locum Is on trial before a jury in Judge Cleland's department of the Circuit Court, charged with having con ducted a house at Third and Pine streets contrary to law. In order to obtain enough men for the jury-box it was necessary to issue a special venire. Paquet, Geibisch & Joplin will not be compelled to pay Joseph Ehalaimen, ad ministrator of Frank Matson's estate, $7500 damages on account of the cave-in In the Brooklyn sewer by which Matson met his death. A verdict for the defend ant was returned at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by a jury in Judge Ganten bein's department of the Circuit Court.. The second suit for the same amount on account of the death of Antti Jaatinen, went to. trial yesterday afternoon. The jury which has been trying O. R. Blystone In Judge Cleland's depart ment of the Circuit Court, disagreed and was discharged last night. The jurymen stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal. DIVORCE DAY IN COURT SIX DECREES HAXDED DOWN BY JUDGE BROXAUGH. Catharine Burnbart Unyoked From Sullen Husband George K. llav- iland Is Given Liberty. Catharine Barnhart was granted a divorce by Circuit Judge Bronaugh yeBterday morning from Noah Barn hart; a house-painter. She said he told her she and her children by a former husband were "stuck up" and "too lazy to work," and declared he was sullen, morose, quarrelsome and vindictive. She married him "in July, 1906, and a year later he packed his personal belongings and left her. The Judge gave her a clear title to a half acre on Clover street. In Overton Park Addition, and permitted her to resume her former name, Osborne. Judge Bronaugh granted five other divorces, all of them going by default. James W. McFarland said that Thebitha Jane McFarland complained of his dress, his occupation, called him by such endearing terms as liar and fool, and told him he was not fit for the pigpen. He married her December 24, 1907. Amalie Schauer complained that Antone Schauer whipped their 14-months-old infant son; that he forced her into a corner last February with a razor In his hand, slapping her and threatening to wield the keen-edged knife In a way she would not enjoy. Dirkje Irene Blystone obtained a di vorce from O. R. Blystone, and was allowed to resume her maiden name. Storey. She married him December 16, 1907. She was frequently annoyed, she Bald, by having her house searched for her husband by the police. George K. Haviland secured a di vorce from Belle M. Haviland after testifying that she caused him to lose several positions by telling his em ployers that he was a liar and a drunk ard. She even went so far as to have him arrested for a statutory offense, of which he was acquitted.

He has a daugh ter by his second marriage, and said he was willing to pay $25 a month for her support and to have the mother care for her. He was married to his second wife October 7, 1903. Emma S. Turner secured a divorce from William Turner, whom she mar ried at The Dalles, October 17, 1897. She said her husband beat and threat ened to kill her. GRANT MAY BE SAFE CONFLICT FOUND IN LAW ON STREETCAR FRANCHISE. Acceptance Is Filed and if City Or dinance Prerails, Referendum Cannot Be Called. Whether or not the application of the referendum to the blanket franchise recently granted the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company by the City Council Is stopped by the accept ance of the terms of the franchise by the company within 15 days of the pas sage of the franchise will probably be come an Issue In official circles in the near future. Acceptance was filed with the City Auditor yesterday, 15 days having expired since the Council's action In passing It over Mayor Lane's veto. The state law gives 30 days as the time In which the referendum may be Invoked on an ordinance or a fran chise, but the city charter of Portland gives only 16 days. The point. If raised at all In the courts, will be as to whether the state law takes precedence over the city charter. There are legal opinions both ways, and attorneys are divided on the question. City Auditor Barbur, with whose of fice the acceptance of the franchise was filed yesterday, states that, in his opin ion, the state law, providing for 80 days in which to apply the referendum. Is the rule by which the matter will be decided. City Attorney Kavanaugh de clined to make any statement regard ing the proposition, as it might be that he will be called upon for an official opinion at a later date. He said that he has not given the matter sufficient Investigation to make any statement at this time, the point at Issue being of great Importance. Petitions were circulated by various persons within the past few days, de manding the referendum on the fran chise, and are still being circulated. It having been the general impression that 30 days' time was provided for the application of the law to the franchise, the same as on an ordinance. The franchise is one which grants to the streetcar company the right to lay tracks on about 40 streets or portions of streets, and at all times the com pany's officials stated that they were not so anxious to secure the conces sions as the people in the districts af fected 'are to get- better car service. After a long time, much debate and numerous meetings of the Council, the franchise was passed; Mayor Lane vetoed it, and It was promptly passed over his veto. Lighthouse Tender Due at Astoria.

R., L. & P. Co Submits Five Year Contract. REJECTION IS EXPECTED Concern Wants $63.60 for Arcs on Aerial Wires and $75 for Light's on Underground Circuit With 3V4 Cents for Incandescents. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has submitted to the City Exec utive Board a bid. of $63.60 a year for arc lights on aerial wires and of $75 on area attached to the underground system, and the Board yesterday afternoon referred the bid to the lighting; committee, of which Thomas G. Greene is chairman. A bid of 3H cents per kllowat hour for In candescent lamps was also tendered. These bids are higher than the rate, pre viously offered, and there is a strong Im pression in official circles that the bids will bo rejected, particularly since the condition is that a five-year contract only must be awarded. No offer for a three year contract was made. The Portland Gas Company submitted a bid for city lighting, but as It was not received by the City Auditor until 12 minutes past the hour 6et for accepting bids, it was not opened. It is presumed, however, that It had to do only with the city buildings, many of which are equipped for burning gas. The rate of 63.60 for aerial arc lamps and of $75 for arcs on the underground system Is considered exorbitant by mem bers of the Executive Board, and also by Mayor Lane, and It does not seem at all probable that any contract will be en tered Into as a result of this bid. The present arrangement with the company by the city Is that the lights are fur nished monthly and paid monthly, but the charter contemplates a contract, cov ering a period of not to exceed five years. This the Mayor and members of the Board do not want tj give, particularly at the figures submitted yesterday. They hope for competition and cheaper rates, and as Mayor Lane has but seven weeks more of his term to serve, It seems Im probable at this time that he will per mit of the awarding of a long-term con tract for lighting. Mayor Lane was surprised when the bid was opened yesterday afternoon. He said that President Josselyn, of the light ing company, some time ago gave him to understand that the bid would show better rates for the city. There is a claim of J29.000 made by the company which the city has refused to pay. It was held up from month to month by the Executive Board because Mayor Lane and Mr. Greene, after an. in vestigation, decided ' the company was not furnishing the amount of current called for in the contract. The city Is now paying $63.60 for aerial arcs and $73 for arcs supplied by underground cur rent. GOOD THINGS IN PORTLAND MARKETS BY LILIAN TINGLE.
