Thorwn, vf BIr Paint Firm, Say He Will AVelonme Out-oT-Clty Plan If InveMlgatora Can Oirrromo Higher Costs. Whn the special comtnttlf of tha C!tr Council. named br Mror Simon under Its authority, and consisting of Counci'.men Baker. Burgard and Wat kins. mi this afternoon at I o'clock and takes up the question of legisla tion on otl tanks It Is believed that It will fare on" of the most f-rlous and difficult taks ever asalicned to a com mute In Portland. Millions of dol lara' worth f business In Involved, vast etabll.-hmc nt are concerned and how to solve the question of dander to life and property. It Is certain, will priTe a delicate one. M. ti. Thor-n. of the wholesale paint store of Kther. Thorsen e Com pany, speaking for ht firm yesterday, said thst he and his associates have no disposition whatever to flitht pco posed lerislatlon arising out of the death of Chief Camnhell. who loat hi life In the fire that destroyed the plant of the Union Oil Company of California last Monday. Action I Nt Oppooctl. In the first place." s.iid Mr. Thorsen. "every membar of this firm knew Chief Campbell personally for many years. We all had the utmost faith and con fidence In him as a man. as a friend and as head of the fire department. We mourn Ms untimely death and deplore the accident most deeply. We realise that the public Is entitled to the areat et possible protection from the dan leer of fire and. since the Council has ordered a special committee to frame proper legislation In this regard, we will welcome a solution of the problems that have now and always have and will confront those fniititd In the oil and paint business. We are In no way Inclined to fight this proposed action. " hen the special committee holds its meeting-, we will be represented and will present our aide of the case. One of tha gravest featurea that I now aee Is that. If oil and paint establish ments are legislated outside the city limits. It will result In a larre Increase in operating; expenses and will, there fore, naturally necessitate a rise la prices to the consumer. Better Plan An ailed. "We have no disposition to place dol lar above human life and protection, but this la a phase of the case that must be considered. I confess I do not see how we could manage the great business we have built up here In the last 12 years outside the city limits, but If the special committee has a plan or can evolve one that will solve this problem, we welcome It. I mlitht say. however, that thus far there have been no lives lost la fires at any paint store la Portland, and none In any oil tank fire until the death of Chief Campbell." In addition to t'lsher-Thorsen & Com pany, tha Union Oil Company. Standard oil Company and Balfour. Guthrie A Co.. a well as many smaller concerns, must be considered by the committee. The combined business of the firms amounts Into tha millions annually and their plants are capitalized at more than tl. 000.000. All are now located In the city limits. With the death of Chief Campbell there arose a demand for legislation to place oil tanks outside tha limits, beyond the danicer-zone In case of fire. Because of this, tha Council, upon mo tion of Mr. Bker, ordered a special committee to draft legislation In this respect. Mayor Simon concurred In the belief that something should be done and sent a special message to the Coun cil, asking for action. Tills Is what led to the agitation for the removal of all oil tanks without undue delay. PERSONAL MENTION. P. Taylor, of Ca'-Kary. Is at the Bowers. E. T. Mess, of Or-vn City, Is at the Perkins.

Board Without Dissension. "It has been two years of the most pleasant association, and it is very sig nificant that, not once has there been a dissenting vote on any Question In this Board. It shows the laitn you have had In your committees and the unanimity of purpose existing between the members. "The marvelous progress of the city, it having been transformed from a vil lage to a metropolitan city, I think, tes tifies to the ability and leadership you have exhibited. I am not here to re view the achievements of your admin istration, but a silent future will de termine the value of your services and ours. I simply wish to say to you that we regard your friendship, as Emerson said, greater than love, because love. In Its last analysis, is selfish; but friendship is unselfish. and we will carry with us wherever we go and whatever may come, the mem ory or your friendship. In a measure to show our friendship for you, I pre sent, on behalf of my colleagues, this loving cup." Mayor Moved to Tears.

Portland Attorneys Believe Affidavit Asking Extradition Ia Legally Questionable. The long-awaited documents in the Kllman extradition case, which ar rived by special delivery yesterday, may result In the throwing out of court of the case, for in lieu of certi fied copies of the records of indict--ment of Alf Kilman, the record of the case and of judgment, there arrived an affidavit from the present Prosecuting Attorney in which it i affirmed that all records were destroyed In a fire which destroyed the Courthouse at Wayneavllle, Pulaski County, Missouri, in 1903. Whether or not the affidavit of a man who does not appear in the orig inal case and was not present at the court will be upheld by the local court Is a question that is causing much dis cussion among lawyers Interested in the case. The papers were delivered to the court yesterday afternoon and Judge Gantenbein will call the hearing for 2 o'clock Monday. The affidavit, which is made out by Fred L. Scott, the present prosecuting attorney, recites the charge against Kllman of grand larceny In the steal ing of a cow, and says furthermore that the case came to trial and that In open court on September 8, 1898, the sentence of a term of five years at hard labor was passed, and that Kil man broke custody and the Judgment of the court remains unsatisfied.
