10 . THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 1, 1907. MAN MEN DO NOT CREOITSTORY Believe Report That Work on New Lines Is to Be Re sumed Unfounded. INQUIRY IS FRUITLESS Heads of System in New York and Chicago Profess Ignorance of the Newspaper Rumor Published - in the Former City. Reports that Harriman construction, halted a short time ago because of the financial situation, would be resumed at once, cannot be confirmed. Neither local officials of the Harriman Interests nor the heads of the Harriman railroads at New York and Chicago credit the report. Gen eral Managi-r O'Brien, of the lines In the Pacific Northwest, said yesterday: "I have not heard anything about re suming worlt on the projacts under con struction In this territory, and believe the reports to that effect are without foun dation." The Oregonlan has made diligent In quiry, both at New York and Chicago, but unfortunately receives nothing to con firm it. The following was printed in the New York American of Tuesday last: The Harriman railroads have announced the re-employment of 6000 men who were laid oft when the recent financial clouds appeared darkest. Here is a practical expression of the restoration of confidence more eloquent than all the clearing-house reports and bank statements that have been issued Flnce the first shiver ran over the financial body. These men are to construct the Improve ments along the thousands of miles of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific that had been planned to keep pace with the tremendous development of the country traversed by these roads. When the sud den dizziness struck the commercial world; when the money of the country began to be hoarded In strongboxes and anxiety took the place of confidence, so that it was Impossible to get funds for big enterprises, the railroads flt the pressure, and the plans of Improvement were laid aside, not to be taken- up again until the dawn of brighter days. The re-employment of these men is a physical evidence of that dawn. On De cember 1 the whole scheme of Improve ment Is to be resumed. The men are to be kf-pt at work on the Union Pacific un til Winter stops them, and are then to be taken to California and be used on the reconstruction of the coast line between Los Angeles and San Francisco. - To The Oregonlan's Inquiry Chicago an swered thus: November 30, 6:15 P. M. Cannot confirm Harriman resumption of work. Have asked New. York. The following came from New York: November 30, 7:50 P. M- Harrlman's secretary says he knows nothing of such action. No news could be so Important to the Pacific Coast as this, were It true. We should be glad of confirmation, but re gret we cannot make the positive an nouncement.

The Feast of Lights is in commemora tion of the recapture and rededlcatlon of the temple In Jerusalem by Juda Mac cabee. In the second century before Christ, after Its occupation and pollution by the Syrians during the regime of the Seleu cldai, when the temple was given over to the worship of Idols and many prac tices abhorrent to the Jews were insti tuted. The feast has been observed down to the present day by the Jews by the lighting of candles, one for each day, until the eighth day; Following Is the programme of the ex ercises tonight at the Congregation Ahaval Sholom: Prelude.

The State Board of Veterinary Exam iners concluded its session yesterday by granting certificates to seven more graduates of various schools' and col leges. No examinations were held at this meeting, but at the next Besslon of the board, early in the coming year, all applicants for licenses to practice will be compelled to pass a rigid exam ination and none will be admitted to practice on certificates from any school. Those who were given licenses at the session of the board just ended were: W. M. Miller, of Ontario: lone W. Parks, of Portland, who graduated from the School of Veterinary at On tario, Canada; W. G. Eddy, of Oregon City, graduate from the Ontario school and also from a course at Chicago; S. W. McC'lure, Pendleton, graduate of the University of Pennsylvania; H. E. Pinkerton, Pendleton, graduate of the University of Ohio; W. H'. Lytle, gradu ate of Ames, and W. D. Mason, Rose burg, graduate of Washington State College. "After the first of the year the law of the state will be strictly enforced," said W. H. Lytle, secretary of the board, yesterday. "At this meeting we examined ho one, only considering cer tificates of graduation from some good school and passing the applicants on that showing. No non-graduate cer tificates were issued. "After the first of the year, however, every applioant must pass a stiff ex- aminatlon, no matter what school he halls from. No graduate certificates will be issued to anyone who Is not a graduate of some recognized school, although men who are not graduates will be allowed to practice in small places that have no veterinarian, at least for a while. The examination of the regular men will be as exacting as that given anywhere in America, and will cover all branches of the subject, while the examination of the non graduates will not be technical but confined to what might be called "good horse sense.' "The idea is to have only first-class men In the practice in this state, .but till such men come here in sufficient numbers and are by force of circum stances properly scattered out over the state, we think that it is best to let some second-class men go on practic ing. "It is the object of the board to weed out the poor men as fast as pos sible and make the field attractive to only first-class veterinarians." BOB PATTERSON RETURNS Police Order Ex-Divekeeper to Go to AVork or Leave Town. Portland evidently has a strong attrac tion for Robert W. Patterson, familiarly known throughout the Pacific Northwest as "Bob" Patterson. After leaving this city 18 months ago. during which time he has sojourned In Tonopah, Nev., the old-time character returned ' yesterday morning and took lodgings with a North End saloonkeeper. Patterson was "spotted" by polisemen, who reported his presence to Chief Grltzmacher. "Tell him to get to work immediately or leave town, with the alternative of ar rest and prosecution," was the order giv en out by Chief Grltzmacher. This edict was conveyed to "Bob," who promised to behave. In the old days, when the North End in Portland was booming. Patterson held full sway. The Favorite saloon, at Fourth and Couch streets, under his man agement, was a notorious resort. Many robberies occurred In the place, and the police were unable to make headway in any of the cases. The matter was carried to the City Council, and the revocation of Patterson's, license was ordered. He refused to close until a squad of police forced him to do so, and with grim de termination, he then continued in a "soft-drink" business. The finishing touch was put on Patter son's Favorite resort, when Marie Palm, a Spokane actress, was robbed of J10U0 worth of diamonds and jewelry, together with some money. Patterson waVcharged with the crime, but the evidence was weak, and he was given an opportunity to leave the city, which he did very re luctantly. WILL RESIST OPEN SHOP Iron Trades ' Unions to Decide on Plans Today. At a meeting to be held at Drew Hall this afternoon, the members of the iron trades unions will decide on some plan for resisting the attempt of the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Works to inaugu rate the open shop. Under instructions that have been received from the Na tional officers, it Is expected that the men will report for work as usual to morrow morning and wait until some vital union principle has been violated, when a general walk-out will probably follow. It Is contrary to the rules of organ ized labor for a union man to work in the same shop with non-union laborers, so that any attempt to force the open shop policy is certain to result in a withdrawal of the union men. In Port land both the ironmolders and the ma chinists are well organized, and the same is true throughout the country. So well. In fact, are. these trades or ganized that the members do not be lieve enough non-union workmen can be found to supply their places in the Portland plant, should a strike take place. That being the case, the Ironworkers hope to force President Corbett, of the Willamette Iron Works, to abandon his fight against tthe organized ironwork ers.

Situation Highly Complicated by the Gambling Question. Rev. Paul Rader and Rev. F. M. Fisher addressed a meeting last night in the band hall at Milwaukie, under the auspices of the Good Government League, in behalf of the movement to secure league control of the municipal government at the election tomorrow. The candidates are as follows: Citizens --Councilmen. Philip Streib, J. R. Kelso, T. R A. Sell wood: Recorder, Fred Leh man; Treasurer, E. T. Elmer; Marshal, R. F. Johnson. Good Government Councilmen, A.J.Walker, F. W. Blrke meler and W. H. Grasley. The remain der of the ticket le blank. By electing the three Councilmen of the Good Gov ernment ticket, the league hopes to se cure control of the city government. Mayor Shlndler holds over for another year, as does also one of the present Councilmen. If the league elects its three candidates for the Council, It will have control, and can overrule the Mayor. The situation Is somewhat peculiar. The Milwaukie Club has ceased paying for the privilege of operating in "stock quotations," and its liquor license ex pires January 1, 1908. A. J. Walker, in a statement to the voters, declares that the club is down and out and Is no longer an issue. Slayor Shlndler's Answer. . Mayor Shlndler, replying to an 'attack made on his administration, which, among other things, was charged that the new charter was drawn outside of the city, declares that the charter was considered for six months before it was adopted, and that under the old charter the city was losing $200 road taxes, but under the new charter the Sheriff of the county collects the city taxes, making a great saving. He also calls attention to the franchise of the Home Telephone Company, for which the city received $500 for a 25-year franchise. The Mayor says he under stands it is charged that Milwaukie- 1 $1000 in debt. This he denies, and says that the city owes but $20 and has $1300 cash on hand. He says further, that the books of the town are open to the inspection of any citizen who wants to examine them. The Good Government League yester day issued a manifesto advising voters to vote for A. J. Walker, ,Fred Blrke meier and W. H. Grasley. Philip Streib, leading candidate for Councilman on the Citizens' ticket, said yesterday: "We have no particular answer to make to the charges that the Good Government League Is making against the municipality's affairs as they have been conducted. We have conducted them in the open. Every citizen of Milwaukie knows Just what we have done, where the money came from, and what we have done with it. But I want to say that. there are other issues in this fight. The Southern Pacific Rail way Company wants a franchise to run a line through the heart of Milwaukie. If the Good Government, candidates for Councilmen are elected, the company will likely get its franchise. Ben Ir win, who Is the leader, is, I understand, in the employ of- the .company. Convention Was Illegal. "The convention of the Good Govern ment League was clearly illegally held. We found this out. It was held out side the city limits. Ben Irwin called it to order, but it was never organized. No secretary was elected. Mr. Irwin knew better. He was not ignorant of the illegality of such a convention. His legal training and experience are such that he could not have been Ignorant of the plain provisions of law govern ing conventions. If the candidates of such a rump convention were elected to the Council their acts would have been illegal. If the Southern Pacific Railway. Company were granted a fran chise through Milwaukie and were re quired to pay a rental by such an il legal Council, when the railroad com pany built its road through the town, it could repudiate its contract with the town. 1 "As soon as we ascertained that the Good Government convention .had not been held legally, in order to prevent any future complications, such as At torney Irwin evidently contemplated when he did not advise the Good Gov ernment League correctly, we took steps to give the candidates of the Good CAMH ENGELS CELEBRATE THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN AT THE FAMILY REUNION I1V HONOR OF who have been residents of Multnomah Portsmouth, surrounded by their children Mrs. Josephine Bliss, of Troutdale.

Government League a legal standing by having them placed on the official ticket through a petition. By this means we have headed off any future complications with the Southern Pacific or any company, if these men are elected. I do not want any complica tions of any sort to arise that will cast a cloud on the-acts of the Council. If Mr. Walker. Mr. Berkemeier and Mr. Grasley are elected they will be legally elected, although according to Mr. Ir win's programme he apparently wanteck an Illegal Council, so that the South ern Pacific might get a franchise and then refuse to pay the city for it." Do Not Fear Holiday. Regarding the legality of an elec tion held on a bank holiday, Mr. Streib said: "I have been thinking very seriously about that matter, but Oregon City will hold its election, and they have plenty of good lawyers up there. We can fol low their example In the matter."' In a signed statement, the Good Gov ernment League says: "Mr. A. J. Walker's statement that the finances of the town of Milwaukie should be put into proper shape before taking active measures to close the gambling should be read just as it is written. Mr. Walker Is a resourceful, as well as an outspoken man, and everyone knows that he can and will do Just what he says. Messrs. Birke melei. Grasley and Walker, if elected, will find means to raise the necessary revenues. Voters of Milwaukie, you have your chance to choose between three level-headed, competent and pru dent men, successful in their own af fairs, and the three men of the bril liant financial class, who have wasted the money and neglected the ordinary business of the town. Every foot of land in Milwaukie could be doubled In value with only ordinary attention to streets and Improvements.

HEY can say what they please about the morals of the stage, but it is an actual fact that in the penitentiaries today there are more ex-Christian minis ters than there are actors," said Frank W. Healy, manager of the San Francisco Opera Company, In the Marquam yester day. "That worn-out Idea that the stage is more immoral than other lines of busi ness Is one of the notions that have come down from ancient times. Actors used to be hardly up to the moral standard of their times some centuries ago, when they were mere traveling players living from hand to mouth, but today It is vastly different. "Take the average chorus girl, for in stance, The comic papers, of course, paint her as" a dizzy little thing of uncertain age and loose, though frolicsome, morals. Compared with the average shop or fac tory eorl the chorus girl stands high. Poverty is the great cause of feminine immorality, and the average chorus girl draws from $18 to J25 a week where the average girl clerk or factory worker gets only from $5 to J15 a week. And the chorus girl has some of her expenses paid by the company management that the other girls must defray from their own pockets. "But it depends a good deal on the management of the company. Lome are under the control of men who care noth ing about the kind of women they em ploy. Just as there are many big stores or factories that care nothing about t..e morals of their employes. In the case of the stage, most of . the immoral girls naturally get Into these companies, while the good women on the stage natural, y get under clean management. Now as the stage Is necessarily always in the public eye, when a girl connected with the profession does something not right It is played up lh the papers, where a shop or factory girl would be Ignored. Where one such girl Is given publicity no mention is ever made of the other thou sand good girls behind the scenes. "As for my. company. If I find that a girl is not what she should be, out si.e goes. Most of the members of our troupe are married, husband and wife both tak ing parts. We have also the unique po sition' today of having the lonpest run of any company on the road. We started out right after the San Francisco earth quake in that city, and we started al most dead broke. Since then we have lost only four nights, and those were spent in traveling. This makes, with the excep tion of these four nights, a continuous run of over 20 months.

Another tine musical treat for the Port land people will be Fritzi Schcff in "Mile. Modiste." Although I manage a rival opera company, I am glad to speak well of these two, and hope they have the patronage they deserve. So you see that the almost proverbial jealousy among the) actor folk may also be a good deal of a myth." Bridge Bids Received. At the last meeting of the City Execu tive Board bids were received for the construction of a bridge over Sullivan's Gulch at Twenty-eighth street. The bridge Is to be of reinforced concrete un less action is taken rescinding the original plans, which action may be taken at the next meeting, because a sentiment in favor of steel construction has sprung up in the Board. The bids received were as follows: From Robert Wakefield of $93, 975, according to plans of the City En gineer; the other two were from Bachua, Giebisch & Joplin, one of $77,000, and the other of SS7.000 for construction according to their own plans. One other bid, that of the Portland & Seattle Construction Company, was handed In at 4.04 o'clock, but under a former ruling of the Board could not be received. The bid was re turned unopened, while the others were referred to the bridge committee and City Engineer. Savoy Hotel. Seattle, 2d ave near Srneea St.j 12 stories.
