Stamp Oono Oslt pom RaxitsTBT.
Registry stamps, recently issued by the
PostofTtce Department In a new style,
have caused considerable confusion aa
to their direct purpose. Formerly a
registry stamp was good for 10 cents
postage and the mall to which It was
attached would be sent to Ita destina
tion even If the regular postage was
not added. TVlth the new stamps this
Is not allowed, aa they only have value
for registration purposes and If the
regular postage Is not added the mall
either Is returned to the aender or. If
that address Is not given. It goes to
the dead letter office. In either of
these events the stamp ts canceled.

GRANT FIGHT PENDS
Southern Pacific's Request Is
Puzzling Council.
25 YEARS HELD AS LIMIT
Wallace Contends That Indefinite
Franchise on Fourth Street Is
Illegal Common User
Clause Slay Be Issue.
Councilman Wallace yesterday morn
ing said that. In his opinion, the City
Council Is limited to 25 years in grant
ing franchises, as the charter prohibits
the granting of franchises for a longer
period. He expressed the opinion that
the Council cannot grant the Southern
Paclflo Company a franchise on Fourth
street for an Indefinite length bf time.
"I think it la clear that the Coun
cil Is bound by the charter to limit
the life of all franchises to 25 years."
said Mr. Wallace. "I cannot see how
we can do otherwise. I favor grant
ing the franchise, but feel certain that
the charter compels us to Insert a common-user
clause, too. It seema to me
that the charter provisions are plain
on these features, and that tha Coun
cil's power Is limited thereby.
Ceaaosoa-l aer Flaw FoaghC
1 have no patience, however, with
the effort to compel the Southern Pa
cific Company to grant common-usess
on Its East Side lines, where la has
opened the territory on Its own Initia
tive and has built up the business there.
I do not regard that as fair, and shall
not vote for any such thing."
The Southern Pacific Company Is
seeking what Its representatives desig
nate as an amendment to Its existing
franchise, which la regarded by them
as perpetual. The design Is to double
track and electrify that line from the
city to Willamette Valley points. It
appears that the subject will be dealt
with largely when before the Council
on the question of granting of common-users
on the East Side tracks of
the same company.
Agitation by the Eaat Side Business
men's Club for common-user clauses on
the tracks In the big wholesale dis
trict of the East Side Is being watched
over all the city, as It Is desired to see
what the Council will do with regard
to that question in considering the ap
plication for a franchise for a double
track- on Fourth street.
Fight Is Expected.
Councilman Joy and Schmeer, of the
Seventh and Eighth Wards respective
ly, are enlisted under the banner of
the East Side club, as they have filed
measures calculated to declare common-users
on the Southern Pacific and
Portland Railway, Light A Power Com
pany's tracks on East First and East
Water streets, at the solicitation of the
club. '
It Is regarded In official circles that
the Council Is facing one of the largest
Issues In Its history, and one In which
the entire city Is deeply interested. The
proposed franchise for Fourth street
will be applied for formally next Wed.
nesday, when the measure will be filed
with the Council. It probably .will be
referred to the committee on streets
for consideration, and It Is likely that
the fight will center about that com
mittee.

that Ed Kllfelter. a contractor for

him 138 In wages.
"Benson Is an honest Oermaa work

DAMAGE CASE HALTED
Terra Applied Traction Company by
Lawyer Angers McGinn.
Objecting to the use by Attorney W.
M, Davis of the term "this big com
pany," his reference being to the
Portland Rsllway, Light 4 Power Com
pany. Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday
morning continued the case of Marie de
Paepe against the street railway com
pany, after Impaneling of a Jury had
been commenced. The phrase was used
by Attorney Davis tn examining J. W.
Lakln, the first venireman.
"Mr. Davis." said Judge McGinn,
"you know that It Is not fair to preju
dice a Jury by the use of such terms.
It makes no difference whether the de
fendant Is a big or little corporation.
I will say right here that tf a verdict
for the plaintiff was returned after
such examlnatlon-I would look with
favor on a motion to set tt aside on
the grounds of prejudice."
Attorney Davis took an exception to
the Judge's remarks and continued ex
amining the Juror. He had asked only
a few questions when Judge McGinn
broke tn again, saying:
"In view of what has transpired I
have decided to continue this case."
