1G TUT? MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1909. COUNTY HOSPITAL SERVE CITY MAY Institution, Ready in Might Be Used Double Purpose. Month, for JUDGE WEBSTER APPROVES CASE BEFORE THREE JUDGES Buit of California Barrel Company Against Coopers Kcglns Today. Sitting en banc, three of the Circuit Court judges will today begrin hearing testimony in the suit of the California Barrel Company and Fred J. Kloster, as trustee, against the Western Coop erage Company and others. It is a suit to restrain the issuance by the defendant company of $600,000 Of bonds on August 1, next. The plaintiffs allege that the bonds were voted illegally and aver that Wat son Eastman, president of the defend ant corporation, exercises an improper influence over the majority of the stockholders in that concern. The at torneys for the plaintiffs are W. W. Cotton. Campbell. Metson, Drew. Oat man and Mackenzie, of San Francisco, and James G. Wilson. The defendants are represented by Carey & Kerr, Dan J. Malarkey, and Chamberlain, Thomas & Kraemer. ways, which was set for today before Judge Gatens, will probably go over until the suit of the California Barrel Company against the Western Coop erage Company, which will begin this morning, has been disposed of. In the latter case, the three Judges will sit en banc. The suit against the United Rail ways was brought by the people of Linnton for the purpose of compelling the railway company to give them a live-cent fare between Portland and Linnton. Under the present operation of Its system, this corporation, they aver, collects a fare of 10 cents each way. Official II poms Plan Necessary and Inexpensive Joint Meeting to Consider Project Soon Jail Situation Part of Argument. With the completion of the county's modern hospital in South Portland, about August 1, the practicability of the institution being used jointly by Multnomah County and the City of Portland is being urged strongly. For some time there has been developing a sentiment which favors a more gen eral co-operation between city and county along such lines. With the ac cession of Mayor Simon and a reor ganized Council for the direction of municipal affairs. It is considered more than a possibility that the relations ', between city and county will be more mutual In the future than in the past. The new county hospital Is located on a part of what constituted the orig inal W. Lair 11111 donation land claim on Hooker street, between First and Second streets. It will be ready for occupancy in another month. The palatial residence is being remodeled into an ideal hospital, supplied with all modern appointments. Including a com plete surgical department. It will have accommodations for about 100 patients. "There is no reason why the city and county each should maintain a jail any more than that each should have a separate hospital," said a prominent county official yesterday. "Of the taxes collected in Multnomah County fully 90 per cent is contributed by the residents of Portland. From this money the people living outstde the corporate limits of the city are get ting the benefit of miles of Improved roads constructed on approved modern plans. Then why should not the city have access to the county hospital which Is being provided? "By limiting the entrance qualifica tions of persons applying for treat ment .at this institution to those that are really sick and are without funds to take care of themselves, the new county hospital will provide accommo dations both for the city and the county for some time. Por a long time there has been imperative need for an emer rency hospital in Portland for the re ception and treatment of the Eick and Injured. If the city would purchase an automobile ambulance, as has been suggested to the Council many times, the new hospital, although not located, right In the heart of the city, could' answer the purposes of an emergency hospital for the city besides furnishing accommodations for the sick of the county who cannot afford to care for themselves." County Judge Webster said yesterday that na strongly favored some plan by which, to some extent at least, the present duplication in various depart ments of the city and county govern ments might be avoided. This he be lieves can be done to the mutual ad vantage of each through a practical plan of co-wperatlon. While Judge Webster said the question of the joint use of the county hospital by the city and county had not been discussed by himself and the other members of the County Court, there is considerable talk that such a plan will be brought to the consideration of the city and county officials before many weeks have passed. Suit Before Federal Court. The suit of John Welsh, adminis trator of he estate of Michael Welsh, deceased, against the Barber Asphalt Company, was opened yesterday before Judge Bean in the Federal Court. Mi chael Welsh, an employe of the asphalt company, died In December, 1907, from injuries received by being caught in the clutch of a hoisting apparatus owned by the company. His adminis trator is bringing suit for $7500 dam ages, on account of the corporation's alleged neglect in allowing the clutch to be out of order and thereby causing Welsh's death. After drawing a Jury, court adjourned to enable the jurors to inspect the plant of the defendant. The case will be rseumed this morning at 10 o'clock. BATY RESIGNS AS HEAD CAPTAIN OF CITY DETECTIVES WOULD DOX UNIFORM. His Action Is Climax of Rumors of Many Police Changes Programmed. Rumors of proposed changes at police headquarters, of heads that were to be decapitated, of political veangeances that were to be wreaked, came to a climax Sunday and yesterday morning. Follow ing the clash between Patrolman Clerk Casey and his Captain, George H. Bailey Sunday morning. Captain Baty appeared in the office of Chief Cox yesterday morning and asked that his resignation as chief of detectives be accepted and that he be returned to uniform. According to Chief Cox, Baty's action came to him as a surprise and he de clared last night that if Captain Baty's resignation resulted from any intima tion of enforced resignation, it was tin founded, as he did not contemplate any- tning of the kind. For some time reports have been cur rent at headquarters that Captain Bailey was scheduled to replace- Captain Baty Captain Baty admitted that he had con templated asking to be transferred and said that his decision was made yester day morning following the row between Captain Bailey and Patrolman Casey. In giving his resignation to Chief Cox he stated there was no malice in his action, but that matters had reached a point where he could no longer remain in his present position and enjoy any peace oi mina. Patrolman Circle was yesterdav as signed to the desk occupied by Patrol man Casey. Hereafter he will act as Municipal Court bailiff and custodian of the books of the department. Captain Baty has been acting captain or detectives since February, 1S08. At that time he was a sergeant of detec tives and was only made captain about one month prior to the exit of the Lane administration. Under the civil service rules of the department he cannot be reduced In rank and will. If hta request Is granted, be transferred to one of the reliefs. He regards the apparent enmity of other members of the department as resulting from the fact that he is con sidered a creation of the Lane administration. FLAT RATE FOR WATER MAYOR OPPOSES PLACING OF METERS IN HOUSES. See This Evening's Papers for Details of Tomorrow's Great "Hourly Sales" ALLEGED RELATIVES LOSE CASE Judge Holds Kinship of Four to Decedent Is Not Proved. Judge Webster yesterday rendered a decision holding that Frank Studars, Minnie Vols. Daniel Studars and Mary Helmllnger are not related to William Studars, deceased, and consequently are not entitled to share In the distribution of the decedent's estate. Studars disappeared from Portland mysteriously in the Fall of 1887 and has never been located. He was pos sessed of real estate and personal property of the value of $3500, which made necessary the appointment of an idtntnistrator for its management. This appointment was made on October 15, 18S7. Subsequently the four persons already named asserted their relation- hlp to the deceased and applied for a hare in the estate. After hearing tes timony. Judge Webster has decided against these claimants. HIS LIFE DEEMED WORTH $9 7 5 Administrator to Collect Coin for Death of E. II. Herget. George Tazwell. administrator of the estate of Einil H. Herget. has been authorized by Judge Webster, in the Probate Court, to accept $976 from the Portland Gas Company In full settle ment of the claims of the estate agatnBt that corporation. While employed by this company, Herget sustained Injuries which resulted in his death. The gas company was not regarded responsible for Hergefs fatal Injuries, but compromised the claim of the es tate rather than resist the litigation that was threatened. FIVE-CENT FARE SUIT TO WAIT Linnton Fight for Rate May Follow Case Heard en Banc. The mandamus suit of C. W. Watts and others against the United Rail- The Meier Frank Store's Expansion-Alteration Sale & the Big Cloak and Suit Department Second Floor 1 I t ' vA -a! if . Would Measure Supply Only of Big Consumers, and Let Household ers Use Plenty. A meter system for all manufactur ing establishments and all places where unusual quantities of water are con sumed, but none for the householder, is quite likely to be the policy of the present administration, as indicated yesterday morning by Mayor Simon. It is his opinion that this would be about the proper means of adjusting the sale of water by the city. A meeting of the Water Board, scheduled for yes terday, was postponed until 10:30 A. M. today, at which time it is probable that definite understanding as to the fu ture of this matter will be had. Bids for 6000 meters will be opened, and upon this, the issue will be made. "I do not like the Idea of a meter system for the entire city." said Mayor Simon. "It strikes me as too expen sive of Installation, and I also dislike the plan of metering the hnusehnirioF We have plenty of water, and it seems to me to be good policy to allow the householder all that Is needed to keep the lawns ' nice and green and make the city more beautiful. I believe in thus encouraging the people, and hard ly think it would be justifiable to meter every house, although possibly I am wrong In my conclusions. I think possibly it is best to meter the large manufacturing establishments, for ex ample, places where more than the usual amount of water is consumed, perhaps, should be on meter. It is a matter of great importance, and the Board will settle It as deemed best when the proper time arrives." Theodore B. Wilcox, a member of the Water Board, was present at the last meeting of the old Board, since which time two of the former members have resigned. Their places have been filled by the appointment of J. C. Ainsworth and W. B. Mackay, who will be pres ent this morning for the first time in their official capacity. R. B. Lam son is the sole member holding over from the Lane regime. He is heartily favorable to a system for metering the whole city, householders and all. Mr. Wilcox, at the last session, expressed himself as opposed to this on general principles, saying that he would have to be shown proof of its merits before he would sanction the large outlay of funds for Installation. The whole mat ter wUl be gone over carefully today but it is probable that a decision such as indicated will be reached, and that the bids for 6000 meters will be re jected. It is virtually certain that the Board will not buy so many, if any are purchased. A LOST ARTICLE. The Rapidity With Which It Is Re stored to the Rightful Owner. In a city of a quarter million inhabi tants one would naturally think that to lose an article of value was to lose it forever. Quite the contrary Is the rule. The majority of articles lost are returned through the agency of The Oregonian's lost and found column This column makes mighty interesting reading. , s Have you tried it?

When the ways and means com mittee of the City Council met yes- terday afternoon. Counoilman ' Devlin 1 being In the chair, the members ex pressed their approval of Mayor Simon's attitude regarding the crem atory . and recommended that the Council, at tomorrow's session, pass a resolution granting full power to the Board of Health to select a site. While there is some difference of opinion -as to where the plant should be located, the, Councilmen . present said they are willing to ' leave that to the Judgment of the Mayor and members of the - Board of Health, The recommendation' of the ' com mittee will undoubtedly be favor ably acted upon by the Council. Mayor Simon announced yesterday morning- that he will ask the Board of Health, which will meet in special ses sion next Thursday, to authorize the City Auditor to advertise for bids for the installation of a modern, high class 100-ton garbage burner, to be erected and put into readiness for operation at the earliest possible date. It -will be built on the city's site, where the present wornout Incinerator is lo cated, the Mayor having settled that point himself since he visited the place last week. The matter of a second plant, to be placed on the East Side, win d taKen up later. That the long-drawn-out contrbversy as to where and how to build a crema tory is -virtually settled by the action or Mayor Simon, seems certain. He has done more already toward secur ing for the city an up-to-date plant for the 'solution of the vexatious garbage problem than the City Council and the Lane administration did in the four years of their power. They spent all of the time wrangling over a Bite, but the new Mayor decided that point in less than half an hour when he went to the crematory on Guilds Lake last week and saw the awful conditions that abound there. "I shall request the Board of Health to ask for bids for the Installation of a 100-ton garbage burner." said Majfor Simon yesterday. "I want to get this problem out of the way at once, and shall take vigorous action to that end. While we are building a crematory, we may as well put up a large one, which will last this side of .the river, at least, for years to come and take care of the supply in first-class shape. As I view it, the only thing to do Is to put up this plant on the present site, near to the old burner, and with a modern establishment there, we wil be able to care for the garbage very easily. There will be far less objection to placing it there than any other site we could select. The whole thing Is in the hands of the Board of Health, with the exception of the site. I have al ready settled that point for the one on the West Side, and later we will take up the proposition of erecting a second plant somewhere on the East Side." Whether or not It will be necessary to sell any or all of the bond issue of $150,000 provided for the construction of a crematory the Mayor cannot, as yet, say, but it Is his purpose to avoid this if at all possible. However, the city wil get the crematory, and that at a near date, unless all signs fall. Upon this point the Mayor is deter mined, and he will take whatever steps are necessary.
