THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 0,- 1910. LABOR COUNCIL TO FIGHTAMENDMENT Will Demand Publication of Proposed Water Scheme in Pamphlet Form. MANDAMUS TO BE SOUGHT Organized 'Labor Sees Possibility of. draft in New Method of Paying for Mains, and Declares 16 City Officials Will Profit. Mandamus proceedings will be in stituted by thft Central lAbor Council against City Auditor Barbur to com pel him to print a pamphlet containing the proposed water amendment for dis tribution anion- the voters of the city prior to the ppecfal election, which will he hld Kebrunry 15. The pur pose of tills nuit la t enable the rep resentatives of organizeilTabor to sub mit with -the amendment an argument in opposition to the proposed chajipre "in the manner of laying and paying tor water mains. The amendment pro- v poses that the cost for all such, exten sions Fhali be paid from the receipts of the water department. ; Authority to institute such a sniit was delegated to a committee representing organized labor at a meeting of the Cen tral Labor Council l5t night, following1 tho submission of a report by an investi sating committee which charged that Mayor Simon and 16 of the members of his official family are the owners of 700 lots, many of them unimproved, within the eity limits, which would be benefited by the extensions that in all probability will follow the adoption of the amend ment. The committee estimated that the cost of laying water mains averages $40 a lot. representing an aggregate cost to water consumers for laying the mains for Urn Tnoo lots so owned of nearly $300, '00. The report of the committee involved the following prominent cltlzehs, who are members of the City Council or of one of the boards appointed by Mayor Simon J. F. O'Shea, T B. Wilcox, H. L. Corbet t. Oeorge W. Brown. J. c Ainsworth, tiig Sichel, and CounclImen Belding. Menefee and Baker. Committee Makes Probe. When the amendment was first recom mended by Mayor Simon's Water Board, the Central Jabor Council appointed a -special committee to investigate Into the character of the amendment and Its ef fect. The members of that committee Mere D. W. Robinson, chairman; 11. J. Parkinson. Heeretary; B. IX Marion, J.J. Tucker, Wiiltiim Mackenzie. C. R. Price and K. P. Coburn. This committee em ployed three assistants who, under the :ipervifiion of A. D. Cridge and Mr. Parkinson, Investigated the records of the elty and ascertained the extent of the property holdings of Mayor Simon and liis associates in the city administration who might be benefited by tTie adoption of the new system of extending water main:. When this committee had compiled its report, Parkinson requested City Auditor Karbur to order tho amendment printed In pamphlet form, that those opposing it might be enabled to submit an argument against Its adoption. Parkinson was in formed by that official that the ctty -did not expect to go to the expense of print ing the amendment. The City Auditor , maintained that he was not required, un der the charter, to print tbe pamphlet; that It was entirely optional with him. The committee representing the Central Labor Council consulted the statutes, and have obtaianed legal advice which holds thai the City" Auditor has no choice, in thrnatter, and that the printing of a pamphlet submitting- the amendment to the votors is compulsory. They refer to 1 tarts o sections 8 and 10 of the general laws of KK)7, which provide as follows: Section S. . . . nor later than 30 days hetore any special election, at which any proposed law. part of an act or amendment to the constitution is to be submitted to the people, the Secretary of State shall cause to be printed in pamphlet form . . . Section 10. The provisions of this act shall apply In e.ery city and town In all matters concerning the operation of the initiative and referendum in Us municipal legislation, on which such city or town has not made or does not make conflicting pro visions. Danger Id Pointed Out. The following excerpts are taken from the report of the special committee on which the Central Labor Council bases the action that has been ordered: The possibilities within the frrap of a few men who can persuade the Water Com missioners of the necessity o exiendlng mnins through Meant tracts is well up in the millions. Whore mains are to be ex tended and to what tracts is beyond the possibility of your committee t. discover. That is one of the thlnns that comes within iriM rt-Hlm of "hiph finance and a "hutfi ne,s Hdministrat ton" . of city government. omo indication of what run happen may - bo seen from the examination of Hie records hi to the ownership of land by members of the city government. No doubt this prop erty Is at present Inaccessible to rapid tran sit. Some of it may remain so for years, v bile other tracts only neorl the application of citv water to Inrreaji in - atue, as has t he Ala meda. trait, which In 1SuS was not worth JOO an acre, but now, partly from 'the Prescott-street main and other public Improvements, I held as hish as $ lOuu a vhiple lot. One of the most prominent promotPrs of this amendment, and now a member of the -ity pvernm'iit, in a man who alreadv has larpeiy benefited to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars by this kindly con sideration of the Water Board when It had i he power to construct mains with the money of the consumer. He is directly in terested in over HHn vacant lots which ore assessed at about HO,Oi'u. He is: indi rectly, through corporations, interested in over s:WH) building lota, assuming: n lot to be Mix 100 feet. Some of these lots are (mailer and mi of the tract are not platted. The sum ate. which at best can nly be approximated. Is that this one man has interest In ;t:.t. building lots, valued by I he Assessor at f-Mi."., 000 ami over. while there are indications that he ia interested in part in several other properties and corpora tions, to what extent and , t w hat degree would require months f research and in vestigation to discover. An investigation . of it; of :he citizens hold In n prominent psii ions in the city o f rn men t indica res t hat they are Inter ested in one way and another in nearlv 7ooo vucaut lots. ?onie ot which In due ttmo will receive benefits from the retro active clauses ot the proposed amendment, w hiie others will come in for new mains nt the hanua of a complacent Water Board. A single estate and family has over lo.OOO building lots, nearly all vacant, and to hich this proposed, amendment w ill add values of S'jo.ooo at the least. in addi tion, this proup of property-owners is inter ested through corporations in unknown n mounts of land outside and Inside the city limits. 'their Interests lie with the land speculator, who saddles on, the land-user mil the public expense he can. If this proposed amendment passes there is every reason to believe that the property worth many millions of dollars and amply able to bear the burden, situated in the . business districts, will be given the "g-Iad hand" by a complacent Water Board and the half dollars of the home-owners given to i hee millionaire land-owners. The amend 1 Tiient presides that "all water mains, ln- -I tiding- laterals, d 1st ribut tni; mams and m.-Ons for reinforcement hereafter laid or constructed shall be paid for out of the water fund, and not others tse." There Is a plunder scheme In this c'aust that Is big enough to create several million aires without even the "business adminis tration" of the Water Board heinc aware of It." The amendment further Rive full au thority to the Water Boars to purchase any water systems and to lay mains elsewhere. The only limitations are that in ordering new mains the Board shall be of the opinion that they will pay i; per cent on the coat after a rearonahle time- Thin loose restraint amounts te nothing, but will enable the Board to refuse to lay mains for. men with out pull, and where no hi and friendly in terests are to be benefited. In concluding its report, the committee made the following recommendations':' W'e recommend that the present charter provision be retained, that the amendment be voted down, and that the Central Labor Council announce that at the next election, which will probably be the general .eiection in November, an Initiative measure- be drafted whereby the cost of water will he fixed at minimum rates to the consumer, the cost of mains to the property benefited. and the evident graft in the water system of the people of Portland forever put a stop to. At this" point the committee is t)ot pre pared to recommend any one ' of the plana proposed, either of assessing vacant .and occupied lots alike, or of assessing all of the property of the city. Nor Is it pre pared to recommend that larpe mains be assessed to the property benefited, although recognizing Wearly that the system of smaller mains should he. Larger mains benefit the entire city in part, as do reser voirs, as a rule. Since the City Council will not permit an alternative proposition to cro on tho ballot with their retroactive grafting scheme of enrichment of a few at the expense of the many, your com mittee recommends that time he taken to draw up a just and effective measure, and that u-tion mi rtra-n-n I i . . , j v. - , w.anx, H, UVT BUUU1UICU VI IIIB l earliest opportunity to the neonle nt tu city, whether or not the proposed amend ment In-elation to the water mains, bonds, etc.. is adopted at the coming special elec tion. f "Under instructions frftrh 'the Cen Jralt Labor Council at tonight's meet ins:.' said Parkinson last night, 'the legislative committee tomorrow .will employ attorneys, anj immediately in stitute the mandamus suit against City Auditor Barbur.

DOZEN GRAVES FILLED 1KAI Oh- MARQUEZ FAMILY BURIED AT SAME TIME. Scientific Men Xow Doubt That li or Illness, 12 of Which I'atal, Caused by Ptomaines. SANTA MONICA. CaU. Jan. 8.-With the burial FYiday of 13 descendants of the pioneer Jiarqaej family, the last being a nursing baby, who died of ptomaine poisoning following the eat ing of tainted pears at a family re union last Sunday, the final chapter in the tragedy was enacted. The bodies were borne to the Sawtelle Cemetery by eight hearses and interred in a row of graves in th5 Marque plot. . Much interest renters in the infant daughters of two of the dead women, the little ones having developed symp toms of poisoning In the last two day;. Both are babes in arms, and it is feared that they contracted ptomaine poison ing through nursing at their mothers' breasts. Physicians are hopeful that they will be able to save the lives of the little sufferers. Despite the verdict of the Coroner's jury, much difference of opinion has developed among scientific men as to the cause of the 12 deaths, some assert ing that ptomaines would not have de veloped in the preserved pears, and that another poison must have been dropped into the jar by accident or de sign. M00RE SEEKS INQUIRY Ex-President of' Defunct Bank Ac cuses Receiver of XegHgence. , Walter H. Moore, ex-president of the board of directors of the defunct" Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, expects to prove that the bank was not insolvent on Aug ust 17. 1907, when it closed its doors, but that Receiver Thomas C. Devlin has dis sipated and sacrificed the assets Jn such a way as to render it insolvent after he assumed charge. At least this is the statement Moore makes in a petition filed in th Circuit Court yetserday afternoon, asking that he be given access to the Oregon Trust books and the books of the receiver, in order that copies of them may, be made and that an expert may make a report upon them. John W. Ferguson has been employed by the indicted bank officials, Walter H. and Henry A. Moore, W. Cooper Morris, Elmer E. Lytle and Leo Friede, to expert the books. Moore say, Devlin has refused him access to books and records of the bank. M'CARTHY NAMES HIS MEN Bay City's Xew Mayor OiHtributes Spoils of -Victory. SAN FRANCISCO, -Ian. S. Mayor-elect P. il.

See 30 PAPER BOARD MEN ARE INDICTED Grand Jury Says Their Asso: ciation Is Trust Which Restrains Trade. ANOTHER TRUST IN DANGER News Print Paper Trust Will Xext Come Under Ban Board Men Said to JLexy Tribute of $5,- . 000,000 on ' Consumers. NEW YORK, Jan. S. The Federation Paper Association formed by John H. Parks, who pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $4000 for his connection with the so-called fiber and manila pool, was indicted by the Federal grand jury in New York Friday, charged witll be in)? an Illegal combination in restraint of trade. The federation is the Paper Board Association, comprising: 14.6 prominent paper manufacturers, who are indicted Individually in addition to the indict ment returned against the association as such. A. fine or imprisonment way be imposed upon conviction. Today's indictment is only one of many ramifications of the Government inquiry instituted, against papr manu facturers. The conviction of Parks brought about the dissolution of the Kiber and Manila Association, whose members were fined $2000 each, and the action against the paper Board Asso ciation is following similar linns. A third proceeding directed against news print manufacturers is before the grand jury. Ninety defendants named in today's indictment were represented in court this afternoon and on behalf of all a plea of not guilty was entered, with permission to withdraw it within three weeks. Rigid rules bound members ot the association to adhere to prices agreed upon, according to the wording of the indictment. It recites that the association was organized in 1905 with headquarters in New York and that prices were fixed at the quarterly meetings. These prices were not to be departed from except by unanimous vote. The amount of trade each member was to enjoy was carefully apportioned. The prices, it is further charged, were , greatly in excess of prices that would have been fixed by natural competition, thus levy ing "an unlawful tax uposs'the peo ple of the United States, amounting to $5,000,000 annually." Covert- acts cited in the indictme"nt Include letters written by Parks to the various officers of the association and extracts from minutes of quarterly meetings. Minutes of the quarterly meeting held December 4 and 5. 1907," include .the following Items: "Fix your selling price for the en suing quarter." "Fix the cost schedule for the en suing quarter." "Fix the sales allotment for the en suing quarter." Adjustment in 3farried I-ifc.

I might divide the latter into three periods, as follows i From the first to the tenth year, the ; consciousness of the need for adjustment: from the loth to the 15th, the struggle, for adjustment, and from the 15th to the 30th. the assim ilation of the adjustment. Someone has said that in the union of the two in marriage, one real soul is created by the slow and painful process of this effort at adjustment, and that that ;"8oul" , is the existence of a true and perfect under standing. Those of -you who read these lines and who have; pass?d on to- where in your matured experience that "understanding?" has attained to a beautiful and satisfy ing development should be able-to declare whether the process of its creation has been worth the price of the struggle of years, worth the price of the tears, the mistakes and. eye, even the heartaches and the bitternesses as well ! But to those of you who are beginning to mold it into form only today, I want to say a feew helpful words. I think that right now, before you go further, you should have the courage to put to yourself the question, and very clearly and distinctly, bo that your inner eonscienceness will Viot fail to hear: "Am I marrying an Ideal or only just a plain human fact?"

OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Washing-ton, Jan. 8. Representative Mc Credie lias laid before the War Depart ment a petition from the people of Van couver, asking: for an appropriation of $25,000 for putting down a macadam pavement on the extension of Fifth street, passing through tie Vancouver military reservation. He urged upon the War Department the desirability of this improvement, and asked that they submit to-Congress an estimate for the necessary amount. . Quartermaster-General Ailshire, un der whose jurisdiction such matters come, promised to have an investiga tion made by the Quartermaster at Vancouver Barracks, but ho would be unable, he said, to submit the estimate at the present session. War Department Cuts Down. The War Department, he explained, had cut its estimates this year to the very lowest figure, under orders from the President, and this improvement, while it might be desirable, would hard ly come under the imperative rule which has prevailed recently. If there is (;o be greater liberality in appro priations next session. General All shire held out hope that a recommen dation for this improvement might be submitted next session. The paving of this roadway is de sired by the people of Vancouver be cause the Fifth-street extension across the military reservation is the only di rect means of communication between old Vancouver and Kast Vancouver. It is the only road across the reserva tion that is open to the public day and night. At present this1 piece of road, about 3S00 feet long, isn poor condition, and not at all in keeping with Fifth street proper, or with the connecting road to the east. Judge McCredie explained to the de partment that the State of "Washington is now expending considerable money on a road paralleling "the Columbia on the north bank, with a. view to develop ing a highway leading out from East ern Washington Vancouver. Over this road 'miist pass all vehicles seeking . Portland by the Vancouver ferry. The direct line of this road Is across the military reservation, and the amount of travel is such as to jus tify he Improvement asked for.. To make a detour of the reservation', as would be necessary should thj- pres ent road become impassable, would en tail an extra two-mile drive,- and this, he said, should not be necessary.
