THE MORNING OREGOXIAJT. TUESDAY, JUXE 7, 1910. 1.5 MAYOR KILLS MOVE FOR PIPE COMBINE Terra Cotta "Trust" Ordi nance Vetoed, Blocking Mo nopoly Plan. COMPETITION IS SOUGHT Severe Rebuke Given Councilmen, Who, He Says, Would Create Trust by Passing Law Giving Sole Right to One Type. MAYOR 8MON GIVES REASONS IXR VETOING TERRA COTTA PIKE ORDINANCE. Ordinance pawed by Council pro hibits any but terra cotta sewer pipe, and creates a monopoly. There should be fair and legitimate competition In all public work. Cement pipe can be made Impervi ous, and can be manufactured and old cheaper than other pipe mate rials No Rood materials of any kind should be prohibited from uso In Portland ; there should be open and free competition. The Council can at all times regu late the kind of pipe to be used when "time and manner" ordinances are to be passed. Mayor Simon yesterday vetoed the or dinance giving to the terra cotta "trust" an exclusive control of sewer pipe mate rial In Portland and thereby has dealt this concern a body blow. Incidentally, he has administered a stern rebuke to the members of the Council who passed the special legisla tive measure at the last session and places himself on record as favoring com petition in all lines of trade. Mayor Simon declares that he Is satis fied that cement pipe is all right for use In sewer work, and that he, there fore, feels justified in vetoing the meas ure. In view of the recent demonstra tion, which showed that cement pipe can be made efficient, he declares that he would be aiding in creation of a monopoly if he fails to object to the ordinance. The veto will be read in the Council tomorrow morning, and it is believed that it will be sustained. The veto mes sage follows: Veto Message Goes to Council. T return herewith, and without approval, ordinance No. 21250, entitled "An ordinance specifying the kind and character of pipe to be used for sewer mains or laterals," passed by the Council May 25. 1910. The ordinance requires all sewer pipe here after laid to be salt-glazed vitrified sewer pipe or dipped cast Iron pipe of the beat quality, and directs that the specifications of the City Engineer for all sewer proceedings shall provide for sewer pipe as above stated. It is intended by this ordinance to restrict to terra cotta the kind of pipe used in the construction of sewers, and to prohibit the use of every other kind of sewer pipe. In cluding, of course, cement or concrete. I believe that there should be fair and legitimate competition in all public work, and therefore I am unable to approve this ordinance, for by so doing I would aid in the creation of a monopoly in supplying sewer pipe used In this city. I am convinced that cement pipe can be made Impervious, and that it can also be manufactured and sold at a price in competition with pipe of other materials. Sewer pipe, whether of clay or cement, if of good quality and manufactured under specifications Insuring efficiency, ought not to be debarred from use In the construction of sewers. Opening for Trust Seen. If the ordinance under consideration be comes effective, manufacturers of terra cotta pipe (the only kind permitted to be usedt may charge therefor whatever price to them seems proper. Should, however, the ordinance not 'be come effective, it will be for the Council to determine In the enactment of "time and manner ordinances" the kind of sewer pipe to be used in the construction of each sewer authorised, and leaves open the way to com , petition. Believing that the city of Portland should not be denied the benefit of competition, where Its interest can be protected by defi nite and reasonable speciftcatlons properly enforced, I am compelled to veto the ordi nance. . JAILBREAKER IS CAUGHT .Sheriff Stevens Clips In Bud Free dom of Long-Term Prisoner.. An attempted Jail break at Kelly Butte was discovered by Jailer Phillips at 7:30 o'clork yesterday morning, and promptly reported to Sheriff Stevens, with the re sult that Harry Harvey, the man who attempted to escape, was located, and Is now in the dungeon. The men had gone out to their work, and Deputy Sheriff Phillips was checking up on them, when he. discovered one man missing. As soon as Sheriff Stevens learned of the situation he dispatched two automo biles with a posse of deputies in each, to the Rutte. Soon he received the report that the missing prisoner had been found hiding among the rocks at the Butte. The man was sentenced to serve 360 days for larceny. His time would have expired Iecem ber 17. Although there have been several at tempts at breaking jail during Sheriff Stevens' administration, no prisoner sen tenced to the County Jail since he has been in charge has so far succeeded in escaping serving his time. CHINESE AUTOIST LOST C. Clrr Woo Buys Motorcar Goes to Salem Chinatown Worries. C. Gee TVoo. a Chinese doctor, bought a $4000 automobile Saturday, started for a trip to Salem with his family early yesterday morning, and when he had not returned at midnight all Chinatown be came aroused for fear harm had befallen the party. The police station was besieged by In quiring friends and all sorts of evil things, from a hold-up to an ordinary wreck of a touring car. were suggested as reasons for the doctor's absence. The police were unable to throw any light on the situation and the Chinese, not familiar wlrh the uncertainties that at tend automoblling without necessarily endangering human life, stood anxiously about the streets awaiting the doctor's return or trying to solve the mvstery. MAKE NAME FIT ITS WORK Corvallis Alumni May Propose Drop ping Word "Agriculture." Changing the name of the Oregon Agri cultural College to the Oregon State Col lege, or to some other name that will mors clearly indicate its varied eduoa- tional functions, is expected to be one of the more important subjects of interest to the institution that will be discussed by the alumni at their annual reunion next week. Owing to the unusual celebration to be held at the college next week to mark another quarter century since it became a state institution, an unusual effort is be ing made to get as many of the graduates present as possible. Special rates by rail, as well as the running of a special train next Tuesday, returning to Portland the same day, are expected to aid in bringing about this result, and the large reunion that has been promised will make oppor tune some action regarding the proposed change In the name of the college. - The popular mistake concerning the pur poses of the- Oregon Agricultural College has prompted the feeling that the word "agricultural" should be dropped from its name. This has been done in other states with similar institutions. Including that in the State of Washington, that people may realize that the purpose is not to teach agriculture only, and that numerous other courses and degrees are offered. By. request of the college authorities the Southern Pacific Company has promised to run a special train from Portland by way of Salem and Albany, on June 14. The train will leave Portland at 7 o'clock in the morning and will be due to arrive at Corvallis at 10 A. M. Returning, it will leave Corvallis at 7:1S P. M., arriving in Portland before 11 P. M. A special rate of one fare for the round trip has been granted for this special train, while a rate of one and one-third fare will be given for other trains to the celebration. EDUCATION IS SUBJECT INDUSTRIAL PART OF TOPIC IS DISCUSSED BY ADVEXTISTS. Western Oregon Conference Will Hold Annual Election of Officers While In Session. Industrial education was the keynote of the address yesterday morning at the Western Oregon Seventh-Day Adventist Conference, in session in North Mount Ta bor, delivered by Professor N. W. Law rence, educational missionary of the North Pacific Union Conference. Yesterday was devoted to education and all the addresses were on that subject. Professor Lawrence explained the gen eral system of the Seventh-Day Advent ists, who. he said, made a feature of edu cating the mind, body and heart, all the schools of the system being industrial. He pointed out the advantage of such a system, showing that it made the all round man and woman by fitting them for useful lives. In the afternoon the same subject was continued. Miss Comer, principal of the Gravel Ford Academy, delivered an ad dress, and others spoke along educational lines. It was set forth that the Seventh Day Adventists have a complete system of industrial schools, from the primary to the college, at Walla Walla. The report of the Sabbath school depart ment of the conference showed the fol lowing: Present membership, 1931; num ber of home departments, 77; donations, $2214.04; donations to f6reign missions, $3197.86. The aggregate donations for the Sunday schools of the entire denomination for the past year amounted to $112,000 in pennies; the total amount for 20 years, contributed by schools, $1,138,384. During that time the Sabbath schools gave a spe cial fund of $53,104 for the maintenance of the Haskell home for Orphans in Battle Creek, Mich. The financial report of the Western Oregon Conference gave these totals: Re sources. $7729.38: liabilities, $2421.60; bal ance, $4307.88; total receipts, including tithes, K,334.34: expenses, $22,390; pay ments to the General Conference, $1000; tithes to North Pacific "Union Conference, $5944. making the disbursements $1063.40 in excess of the receipts. The general trust fund of the conference was $9153.36, which was remitted to the Union Conference Treasurer. The annual election of officers will be held the last of the week. The camp meeting is going on in connection with the conference. GYPSIES ABDUCT GIBL? PLAINTIFF TELLS THRILLING TALE OF CRUELTY. Assault Case Grows Interesting When Band of Wanderers Gather. Duo Held on $5O0 Bail. Declaring she had been abducted by a Gypsy two years ago and that her infant child had been slain in Wyoming at that time, Mary Yoanivich, a bright and comely foreigner, told a thrilling tale of cruelty yesterday in Police Court when she appeared against John Adams and Louis Adams, her alleged assailants. The woman says the two men a few days ago assaulted her by cutting off her hair and beating her severely. Tha witness, who is the unmarried consort of Louts Adams, makes the complaint against the men. whose cases were put over until tomorrow at the request of the prosecution, in order that more witnesses may be secured. A large number of gypsies were in coxirt yesterday, dressed in the flaring colors which their people affect. One of the party was Mary Leahan, a full-blooded Cherokee woman, who has conducted a "phrenological" room in the Btirnside-street district for some years, and with whom the Gypsies have been associated. The woman carried papers stating that she was the mother of 21 children, all living. 15 girls and six boys. She showed letters of recom mendation which covered an itinerary of the whole country and among them were letters from Governors Gooding, of Idaho: Haskell of Okla homa,, and Patterson of Tennes see, together with one from W. N. Gatens. ex-Secretary to Governor Cham berlain, and from city officials of Jacksonville. Fla., and other places. The woman is said to be wealthy, owing to her allotment from the tribal lands. Ball for the" two men was fixed by Judge Bennett at $250 each, over the strenuous protest of Attorney A. Walter Wolr. who said the amount was ex cessive. The court held, however, that the bail was reasonable, in view of the wandering proclivities of the men and the fact that additional charges of un lawful cohabitation probably will be brought against them.
