"That we. members of the street committee. Informed Rev. Hawkins at the time that the grade upon ! which he was, about to construct the walk was not an established grade, but on the contrary was sim ply established for sewers and not for sidewalks. "That we implored him, .Rev. Hawkins, to delay work for a few days that we might meet and modi fy the grade and thus avoid any confusion that might arise lu the event the sidewalk was constructed as commenced. "That Rev. Hawkins informed us' that In the event he delayed work he would expect the city to advance 1 16. the cost of resetting the moulds. "That we told him that we had no right to advance the money for such a purpose, but would gladly go down lu our pockets individually and help the church to raise such a sum in the event work was delay- ed until a suitable grade could be established. "That Rev. Hawkins refused to j delay, but on the contrary complet I ed the walk without regard for our pleadings. ' "That it would prove a costly pre ' cedent in the event the city recon . structed the walk for . the reason I that there are many other walks In a I similar condition In different parts ' of town."

Severe Selilencen ;ivrn Two (ircek at Portland. PORTLAND, Nov. 21. White ilavery given the severest blow ever (delivered In the Northwest! when Judge Wolverton. of the feder l court 1hla morning, ntenred Utorge K aval In and Jim Takes. Kav- alln was sentenced to servo eight years in the government penitentiary on McNeill's Island, at hard labor, while his colleague in crime was giv en six years in the same institu tion. This Initial sentence in the feder al effort to stop traffic In young girls and weak women, will be the most salutory check ever interposed locally lu an immoral work which has assumed alarming proportions. "You had a trial in this court by a jury, declared the Judge. "That trial has been conducted fairly, and the jury has, after due deliberation, found you guilty upon two counts of the indictment. There is no doubt that you are absolutely guilty of this heinous offense. Is has been suggested that the law is new. How ever, every person Is supposed to know tho law. Both crimes of which you are charged are immoral In themselves. They are crimes, per se, aud no decent person would en gage in such practices. You nre I both men of some intelligence, and you should use your Intelligence to better purpose. "Without speaking further of this case the court will Impose a sen tence, having in view two principles. One is to correct your own habits, to make the penalty severe enough so that It will improve your morals, and the second thought is to make the penalty sufficient to deter others from doing the same thing you have i been doing."
