Heney's Physicians Make Very Encouraging Report VON BCELOW DOWNS KAISER Rod Ttlal Bean Military Aspect Citizens' League Gains Strong Support For Cily Special to the Evening Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17. A Btatement iBsued by his physicians this morning says P. J. Heney passed a restful night and is much better than he was yesterday. He Is ex pected to recover In about three weeks, but will probably not be able to resume his duties until about Jan uary lgt. When the Ruef trial was resumed this morning, the same warlike or military aspect marked the surround ings. Ruef was driven to the court in a patrol wagon, guarded by five detectives and Ave mounted police men. The crowds In the streets were kept moving and everyone who entered the courtroom was searched to see that no weapons were carried. Attorney Dozler, for Ruef, opened the nroceeriings by filing a supple mentary affidavit supporting yester day's for a change of venue. After a 'wrangle Dozler allowed the affi davit to be read. It mainly covered the ground gone over since the close of court yeBterday.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 16. Thos. B. Neuhausen, who as a special agent for the Department of the Interior, was instrumental In gathering the evidence upon which a conviction has been secured In the case of the "Los Angeles conspiracy" to obtain 30,000 acres of government land in a fraud ulent and fictitious manner, has con sented to become a bondsman for W. H. Smith, one of the defendants, who was last week found guilty by a Jury and whose sentence was- fixed by the court at a fine of $5000 and a term of two years In jail. Mr. Neuhausen states that he has since resigned from the government service, and inasmuch as the bond now required is intended to cover an appeal to the Appellate Court of the United States, he sees no reason why he should not afford the defendant the opportunity of enjoying liberty 1,. company with his wife and child un til such time as the case may be defi nitely determined. He alleges that he has had no animosity toward the defendants in the performance of any official duties which have fallen to his lot as an investigator. The bond is 10.000, of which Mr. Neuhausen assumes $2000. That's What We're Here For Stale Wins Willamette Locks Case in Supreme Court CREDIT TO CHAMBERLAIN Jack La Rose, Gas-Pipe Thog, Sent to Prison for Life Portland at 225,000 Mark Special to the Evening Review. SALEM, Or., Nov. 17. The In terest of the State of Oregon In the Willamette Kiver locks at Oregon City was sustained today, when the Supreme court denied the petition for a rehearing in the case of the State against the Portland General Electric Co., owner and operator of the locks. The Interest of the state amounts to $200,000, which was appropriated by an Oregon legislature to defray one half of the expense of building the locks. The appropriation carried tho agreement that the state school fund was to reeclve 10 per cent of the earnings of the locks as long as they were operated. This percentage was paid to the state the first year (1874) after operation, but never afterwards, the corporation owning the locks having transferred the util ity to other parties, who contended that the y were not amenable to the contract entered into with the state by the former owners. In the law suit which resulted the state was vic torious, the courts holding, in effect, that the agreement regarding a per centage of the earnings was more than a mere contract tt was a law and therefore could not be evaded by anyone. The suit against the Portland Gen eral Electric Co. was brought In be- ( Continued , on page 4.) Legislature May Appro priate $3,000,000 - GROWTH OF INSTITUTIONS Calls For Increased Expenditures Branch Insane Asylum More Needed For Schools Tiy A. W. Prescott. SALEM, Or., Nov. lti. It seems altogether probable that the appro priations for state purposes for the biennial period 11)09-10 will pass the $3,000,000 piark. Though only u few of the state Institutions and de partments have made their reports recommending appropriations for the ensuing two years It Is apparent that the increase in population of the state and the consequent increase lu business at state departments makes a general Increase necessary In al most every Item of expense. The crowded condition of the State Insane Asylum and the proportions that institution has attained, makes it necessary that a separate Institu tion be provided and It is generally believed that an appropriation will be made for a branch asylum some where in eastern Oregon. The rapid increase in attendance at the Agricul tural College and the certainty of a further i n crease In the f it t u re, re- qulres larger appropriations for that institution, and as much will porbn bly be needed as Is now appropriated for the State University. The new laws requiring circulation of pam phlets In pursuance of the corrupt practices act, entails a heavy expense. N'ol More ltoont lu Capitol- ' At the State Capitol the depart ments are now crowded for room and when this Legislature meets, it will he di Ilk-nit to provide commit tec n:us. The only solution for this ditllculty seems to be the purchase of a small tract adjoining the CnpUnl grounds where a separate heating sta tion can he erected, with room there in for the state printing ofllce. This would give room for some eight ad ditional olllces In the Capitol. There Is a strong demand for the creation of an Insurance department, a State Board of Control and for the enactment of a comprehensive wa ter code with a provision for state administration. The stnte will be asked to help build a home for the Oregon Historical Society. These Items alone, In addition to the fixed current expenses of tho state, will carry the total past the 000,000 mark. There Is, alHO, a de mand from eastern Oregon that scalp bounties he restored. Agitation ban been strong for some time In favor of state aid for public road-bulldlng. The bill for erection of armories by the state will probably he renewed in another form, though defeated by the people last June. In some quar tern there is ah argument In favor of an appropriation for purchase of the Oregon City locks by the state with out waiting for government aid There will be renewal of tho demand for a bureau of mines. Out of all these projects some appropriations are quite likely to be granted, the amount of which cannot even be es timated. Some Necessary Expenses.

Tho most important Item of business that came up wan the second reading of tho paving bridge bond ordlnnnce, which was given without comment. The third and final reading of the ordlnnnce and Us probable passage will occur at tho next regular meeting of the council, Moudny, Doc. 7. Thirty days Inter the proposed bond Issue will he put up to tho voters of the city for their rejection or rati flea Hon. Tho first gnb-rest was ushered In by the report of the license commit tee, consisting of Strong, Mlcclll nml Josephson, calling attention to the fact that out of $1500 due the clt this year In licenses, or "oecupntioi. tax." not more than one-third had been paid In. The committee recom mended that the city treasurer be mnde the tnx and license collectinv oflieer of the city nnd that in con slderat ion thereof his salary he In creased from $200 to $300 per year The report, further, dwelt on the Iohk n llcenso money which the city sus tained annually, nnd for this the pros ent system, or rnther lack of sys tem, of collecting licenses was blamed. Under the charter, it Is the duty of the city treasurer to send out. no tices whenever license or tax is due enls of tho notices to call upon the lent of the notices to call upon the treasurer and liquidate. Falling t do so, they are subject to arrest and fine. The treasurer has always per formed his duty In sending out the notices, but only a small percontiigt of the license obligees have called on him to pay up. In tho pnst It hnv been the custom for the mnrshal to make tho rounds of the deltnquonn as a pure matter of accommodation and collect the money, or laie. How ever, this hns not been done. In con sequence of which, unless arrests are made, the city faces lite prospect oi osing about $1000 in revenue um yer. The report of the committee on this mn(.ter was adopted wminut (lis sent, but when the proposition rnmi up to authorize an ordinance raising t ho salary or cue ciiy treasurer uu wordy jangle began. Long registered the first kick. Ho couldn't under stnnd why tho city should pay extra money to have licenses collected ny he treasurer, when the charter pro vlded for the arrest of licensees wh'- do not call upon the treasurer, in stead, and nay up. Mullen objected too. on tho k round that lnnsmuch a the treasurer had been elected under tho present snlary that he was en- tlt ed to no additional compensation Fisher added a protest, saying be didn't have any faith In ngreemenlK and doubted whether the treasurer would collect the licenses If the coun ell raised his salary. Mayor Hoover was inclined to favor the proposed raise, but he called attention to the fact that It was the duty or the n cense committee to keep a lookou for delinquents and order their ar rest. Strong replied that as a mem her of such committee he would se that no delinquents escaped and ton there "would be something doing. hecnuse he Intended to see that tn Isw was enforced. Strong stated however, that he considered It good business policy to pay trie treasure $100 more a yar if he could snv the city ten times as much revonm Mlcelll and Josephson lined up wit Strong In support of the increase nlarv. The division of the coiinr mi s whole, however, was so mnrke. that no effort was made to put th matter to a vote. Sewer Itemonwt ranees, Six different sewer matters came up before the council In some form or otner. in mree rHmn, m-nhui stranrea were rncolvod to assess ments. One of these, affecting th lew for the Fullerton Avenue sewi coHtitig $2461, was sweeping In form The remonstrators. 22 In mini!)' were renresenled hv Attorney A I be Abraham. In their petition th statedtbat a considerable amount oi nronerty benefitted by the sewer tin been omitted; that certain proper! had been assessed too little and otb proKrty too much. ApiK-nded the netitlon was a new srhedule assessment, recommended for ado tlon and pointed out as being more equitable than that estannsned ny in committee of the council.

He continued thus for bout three-quarters of an hour with- t making apparent Inroads unon e understanding of the council. some of whom listened attentively! mm, wmie others roamed and con- ersed about the council chamber In disinterested sort of wav. Finnllv. hen some of the councllmen prepar-l 1 to go home., threntenimr to nut! heir total number below a quorum. ayor Hoover rapped for order nnd then requested Attorney Abraham to continue n'a argument until some her time. When Mr. Abraham re ined his sent among the spectators. Councilman Mlcelll remarked with no sarcasm that some of the remon- trators would be disturbed If they new thnt the granting of the poti on and the readjustment of tho as sessment would cause them to pny oro money. This cnused Mr. Ab- hnm to make a cutting reply touch- ng upon Mr. Mlcelll's ownership of some of tho property Involved. Mi ll! came back with words that ould not look well In print. At his juncture there was a motion r adjournment nnd the repartee me to a close. The outcome of the emonstrance la problematical. It h on the table to be taken up at me future meeting. Another assessment to which a re nnstrance wns presented was that ievled for the Donjlas-Fowler street sewer, costing $SH7. U. Stuhhs ob jected because one of his lots Is not Hunted so that connection can he nde in a practical mtinner, while other lot, he iisserted, nfforded Jtiportunity for connectl n enly with eat dilllcult'y.

After considerable din ussloii on this matter. Council nun long, who Is one of tho remonstrat agreed to Interview his follow roprrty owner and endeavor to of feet a compromise. One property owner, C. H. Meush Peel, objected to being assessed for the Brock way street sewer o? he ground that his premises won situated that he could not lay r own ward mnncctton. Tho council believed dlfferenilv, howoer, and re fected the remonstrance. Tho ns- ssment was then ndopted. The city attorney was ordered t' raw up an ordinance authorizing the epalr of the Mlll-PIno street sewer t a cost not to exceed the city engl- eer s estimate of $29i.
