THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FKIDAT, MAT 13, 1910. 15 MAYOR TO EXPLAIN Citizens to-Discuss Queslion of Public Docks. VETO WILL GIVE REASONS Bonds Should Xot Be Sold TTntil Definite Plan Has Been Outlined. Completed Project Will In volve Many Millions. Mayor Simon will hold a conference this afternoon with a Joint committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the Tax payers' League on the question of public docks. While the Mayor -has announced already that he will veto the ordinance which was passed by the City Council Wednesday, ordering the sale of J500.000 bonds, he has granted the committees named the privilege of presenting their side of the case. Mayor Simon never has expressed him self on the actual subject of public docks, but it is believed that, had the City Council proceeded according to some definite plan, and gone carefully into the project in a business-like manner before trying to sell the bonds, he would have at least acquiesced. However. without making any effort at all to arrange for a site for a public dock and with no definite plan outlined, the Council, led by Chairman 3riscoll. of the committee on commerce, landings and. wharves, passed the ordinance for selling the bonds. Plan Should Precede Bonds. Mayor Simon's veto, when It is issued, will go into the details of this question fully, and he will state his several ob jections to the ordinance, so that the public will have full knowledge of his attitude. He unquestionably will charge that the Councilmen who passed this measure did so without having any def inite plan for acquiring the site for a dock, and to this procedure he will make strong objection. The Mayor will stnte also that he Is opposed to selling $500,000 of 4 per cent bonds until such time, at least, as some definite plan for using the proceeds has been determined upon. Otherwise, it will be pointed out, the city simply will have to pay the heavy ltnerest on the issue and get nothing in return a policy to which he is emphatically opposed. He is against selling bonds for any purpose unless it Is shown to be absolutely nec cessary, as he has stated many times publicly. Whole Project Costly. Another strong objection the Mayor has to the procedure Is that, if there is to be a system of public docks in Port land, there should be an Issue of bonds, not less thnn $5,000,000. This, he declares, will merely Btart the project, which, when completed, will probably cost the people anywhere from $10,000,000 to $23, WO.OUO. to say nothing about main tenance and operating expense. With such a tremendous project as this looming up. Mayor Simon is naturally cautious, having been elected on a plat form that promised a thorough business like administration. It is his determina tion, as stated by himself, to keep down the public debt and to reduce taxation as much as possible and not to lay further burdens upon the people. COOS IS FOR ASSEMBLY Republican County Committee Votes liinnimously on Question. Coos County is the latest to an nounce unanimous decison of the County Republican Central Committee for an assembly. According to infor mation received at Republican head quarters in the Cornelius .Hotel yester day from C. A. Sehlhrede. state com mitteeman for that county, there was not one dissenting voice at the com mittee meeting. The precinct primaries for the se lection of delegates to the assembly will be held on the afternoon of May 27. The assembly will be held June 3 at Coquille. 'Sentiment here In favor of an as sembly is strong." wrote Mr. Sehlbrede to Charles 12. Lorkwnod, in' charge of headquarters here. "The four years of trial given the primary are the cause of the general unanimity for an as sembly." Other Oregon counties are rapidly taking similar action. The opinion for holding an assembly was unanimous in Baker County. Secretary Loekwood yesterday expressed the belief that every county in the state of any con sequence will take similar action. Y. M.

ACTS WILL CROWD FIELD SOCIETY CIRCUS PROBLEM IS BTJSVIXG CLUB MEMBERS. Plans Are Being Made to Scat Eight Thousand Persons on 3Iult nomah Grounds. The Mulnomah Field ground plan for the Society Circus during the Rose Fes tival is now being mapped out and the numerous acts and sideshows that will make up the circus will need all the space the field affords. With from 400 to BOO M. A. A. C. members participating In some capacity. 100 Portland Hunt Club members with a mount each on the grounds, a platform for the fancy M. A. A. C. carnival dances, a track for the airship flights, two big rings, bleachers to accommodate eeveral thousand spec tators and quarters for the concessions and the huge sideshow, the field will be filled with entertainment, not to say crowded. The problem will likely be worked out by running a wall and a set of bleachers north and south on the middle of the field and constructing the rings, plat form and general inside stunts In the space thus Inclosed by bleachers on three sides,- and the grandstand. Seats will In this way be afforded for 8000 spectators, including the capacity of the present grandstand. On the east half of the field, to which admission will be free to the public, the numerous outside fea tures of the performances, including the sideshow, will be located together with the track down which Manning's biplane will go to make Us ascents. The Society Circus Association, com posed of M. A. A. C. and Portland Hunt Club officials, incorporated, is working in conjunction with the Rose Festival, the two events being closely connected. The aerial flights, while on the Society Circus grounds, will be under Rose Fes tival auspices, and the Eastern Oregon Indians will be brought down by the or ganizations together. The Hunt Club and Multnomah will also figure in the parades and the Rose Festival officials are doing what they can to help out the three circus performances, Wednesday and Friday nights and Saturday after noon, of Rose Festival week. Immediate drainage of a portion of the King tract, now owned by the M. A. A. C. and consisting of several acres direct ly south of the present field, is being undertaken by the ctub. The big tract may como in useful for various overflow purposes during the circus, so the direc tors decided Wednesday night to have it ready. In the M. A. A. C. gymnasium, a net has been stretched, extending clear across the floor, and tumblers and aer ial artists are working nightly on it, en larging and perfecting the acts they gave at the April Spring carnival, with an increased squad. ROSE THIEVES ARE ACTIVE Complaint That Boys, Girls and Adults Rob Bu&hes. PORTLAND, May l2.-r-(To the Editor.) It may not be amiss to sound a. note of warning to the despoilera of flower beds and rosebushes. Since the advent of the rose, that royal flower of which Portland is Justly proud, and which is making Portland as the Rose City famous throughout the land and even in foreign countries, the pillaging of the blooms even before they mature is wide spread. The chief offenders are schoolboys and girls, the latter predominating- in bold ness of purpose, and in defiance of the threats of indignant property-owners who take pride In their hobby of cultivating rose gardens. The coming of the rose is joy fully anticipated by those who take great pains in caring for the bushes, and the ap pearance of the blooms at once diffuses cheerfulness all over the locality. Imagine the chagrin of property-owners when they see a gang of young marauders besieging their tardens in a mad tour of destruc tion, stripping and destroying the bushes. The effrontery displayed by these young rose thieves Is second to none, not even to that of the bank robber who pulls a gun on the teller and commands him to keep mum." 1 hey pay no attention to the housekeeper who warns them off. Indeed, they even dare her and hurl insulting lan guage at her, until she is only too glad to disappear, leaving them to carry on their depredation to their heart's content. However, the young people are not the only offenders in this respect. The rose season has just opened, and already the grown-up have manifested themselves. The writer has caught numerous women in the act of stripping bushes. Sitting on the porch a few evenings ago. I was surprised on hearing some person tearing away at the climbing roses within ten feet of me. The cry of "thief made the surprise mutual for myself and the woman (for she may be a kleptomaniac). In fact, she got a double surprise, for in her hasty getaway she rushed nto a holly tree, which no doubt pricked her conscience. Long after members of the household retire, thieves are heard getting in their work. Thia recalls a remi niscence of last year. A member of the fam ily on awakening at 1:30 o'clock one morn ing thought she heard the snapping of clip pers, and to satisfy herself she arose and looked out of a window. It was not a dream, for there in the bright moonlight stood a man and a woman filling a clothes basket with roses. On being detected, they coolly picked up, the hamper between them and skulked away, evidently with the su preme knowledge that they were safe as far as the police were concerned. It seems to me that schoolteachers could be potent factors in checking the eviL By warning pupils and threatening punishment to offenders, the trespassing and grossly insulting expeditions of young people would: soon be a thing of the past in this city JOSEPH H.

HARRIS BOND HIGH Man Accused of White Slave Traffic Held Under $5000. COURT USES HARSH WORDS Judge Bennett Declares if Jury Fails to Convict Suspect There Will Be Miscarriage of Justice. Weingarden Witness. "Low as this woman is. I believe she is' right when she says Henry Harris Is beneath her feet and I will hold him to the grand Jury under bond of J5000." said Judge Bennett yesterday in passing upon the case of a man ac cused of keeping a disorderly house. "It is only when these people fall out that the city gets a square deal," con tinued the Judge. "This is one of the vilest cases I ever handled and I be lieve that if a jury of 12 men falls to convict the defendant there will be a miscarriage of Justice." The prosecution of Harris arises out of that of Sam Weingarden, now be fore the Circuit Court on appeal from a sentence of $200 and 90 days in jail on a charge of "white slave" dealing. Weingarden blames Harris for his trouble and is after revenge. The charge is that Harris has in past time conducted no less than three or four disorderly houses, taking a large pro portion of the earnings of the women. Weingarden Takes Stand. Weingarden himself was the first witness for the prosecution. He testi fied that Harris had four houses, in one of which his wife was kept. He specified 203 Main street and 202 1-2 Clay street as two of the places. He said that Harris had attempted to blackmail him in the sum of $300, on penalty of being run out of town. Weingarden testified that he himself was a respectable and innocent busi ness man. Rosie Babchique testified that she had "worked" for Harris, paying him $3 a day for a room. Last manth one of his houses was closed up and she continued to reside there and rented It. she said, for $100 a month. She said that Harris demanded $300 from her for his lease and threatened to have some one kill her If she did not leave town. Marguerite Leroy was oratorical when she took the stand and it was plain that she had a well-developed grudge against Harris. She had a torrent of words to get rid of and all the officials' of the court could not stop her until she ran down. She said that she conducted a rooming-house on Fourth Btreet and that Harris tried to get her out of it because, he said, he could put six women in it, because he was paying for "protection." "Protection" Xot Paid. The woman said that she had never paid any "protection" and did not be lieve that Harris did either. Some of the intimate details that she gave the court concerning Harris were un printable and almost incredible. "Bad as I am," she said, "he is the dirt be neath my feet." Attorneys for the defense moved to dismiss the case on the ground that the indictment was faulty, but the court held that a case was made out and fixed the bonds at $5000 or $2500 cash. To this the attorneys objected most strongly," saying that they could not raise it and that it amounted to prejudging the case, but the court ad hered to its determination and Harris was taken to a cell until such time as the required amount is put up. GAMBLING WIDE OPEN? D. A. PATTULLO SCORES POLICE FORCE FOR INCOMPETENCY. Chief's Statement of Social Evil Sup pression Questioned by Portland Municipal Association. Declaring that Chief of Police Cox is utterly mistaken in his belief, as stated a few days ago, that the social evil was suppressed at the time he issued his orig inal order six months ago and reiterating that gambling is going on in Portland, "high and low," D. A. Pattullo yesterday issued another statement on tne moral condition of Portland. The statement in full follows: Chief of Police Cox is quoted as saying that "the condition in the North End are recent. I know when -the original order was Issued by m. the evil was successfully abol ished. Since that time, though, many ar rests have been made and every precaution taken to suunress it. a few have erect in and covertly operated, though not openly and flagrantly, as is intimated. If Chief Cox imagines this to be a true statement, he is utterly mistaken for, unless it may have . been for a night or so at a time, there has been no cessation during the past ax months until witnin the last day or two, when extra precautions have been taken as the result of public protest. But the busi ness is by no means confined to one district. It is to be found in the North End and the South End, on Stark street, on Washington, on Twelfth, on Third, on Fourth, on Yam hill, on Front and Madison. In fact, there is hardly a single street in the heart of the city where it is not found. It is doubtful if at any time in the city's, history there have been so many women of the under world In evidence. They have been flocking in here for some considerable time, and they have come because they knew they might expect an easy time, and the manner in which they are flaunting themselves in pub lic is sufficient proof that in their expecta tions they have not been disappointed. Gambling is going on high and low, and the fact remains that the Police Department is for some reason inadequate -to cope with it. The position of the Chief with regard to Chinese gambling is ludicrous. Has he for gotten, or did he ever know that Tom Word, when Sheriff, with two or three deputies effectually stopped Chinese as well as white gambling ? Why, then, cannot the whole police force of the city do it now? Chinese lotteries are wide open. We have in our possession tickets recently purchased with out any difficulty whatever. The unques tionable inference is that these places are running under protection for which they are paying somebody. But the Chief of Police is simply the em ploye of the Administration, and he is not to be blamed alone. Behind him are the Mayor and the PoJice Committee of the Executive Board and Council, and ultimately the bur den of the situation rests upon them, es pecially upon the Mayor, for it has already been demonstrated in the community that the Mayor can clean up the town in short order if he desires. It, therefore, behooves him to look to his police force for at present it is manifesting signs of serious incompet ency, PORTLAND MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION". By D. A. PATTULLO. President. MENTAL EVIL NO POWER Explanation of Mrs. Eddy's Teach ings as to the Subject. PORTLAND, May J2. (To the Editor.) .

But she had ap parently not been sure enough of her ground to remain away from the association, evi dently valuing friendships of many years. Mrs. Eddy's teaching about animal mag netism Is in the nature of an uncovering of its methods, and points the way of protec tion against it. She does not believe that pernicious mental evil Is a power, but she has exposed the fact that certain persons do believe !n such an influence, she has taught her students how to guard against this de ception by holding steadfast to the spiritual truth that God is in reality the only power.

NEIGHBORHOOD ROW AIRED Women Vie in Quality of Epithets Credited to Each Other. So dreadful were the epithets that Miss Marie Gianinni said Mrs. Jane Donovan had applied to her, that the young and pretty Italian girl whis pered them to Judge Bennett with many blushes. That Miss Gianinni was a fairly good hand at billingsgate herself was the assertion set up in ex tenuation by Mrs. Donovan. It was a neighborhood row. having Its inception near the head of Sixth street, and a large number of the resi dents of the vicinity were in court to lend a willing tongue or an attentive ear as the case might be. That more civilty would nof be a bad experiment for either side was the decision reached by Judge Bennett, who sus pended sentence during gqod behavior and cautioned the Montagues and Capulets to behave themselves in future.

SEATTLEITE WON'T TELL WITNESS GIVES EVASIVE A.. SWEK TO CENSUS QUERY. Question of Sound City's Population Arises In Court, but Banker's Reply Causes Merriment. Another futile attempt to secure inside information as to the population of Seat tle was recorded yesterday in the I'nited States Court. Attorney C. W. Fulton endeavored to extract the data on cross examination of Bank Teller J. C. Nor man, representing the banking house of Dexter Horton & Co.. at the trial of J. W. Scrlber.

"Yes, sir," responded the witness, over the objection of United States Attorney McCourt. "You ere an old resident of Seattle and have been In position to secure inside in formation as to its resources?" said Mr. Fulton. "I am," more confidently responded Mr. Norman. "Well, then, youngr man, what is- the population of Seattle?" inquired Mr. Ful ton.
