SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17. A

this morning says P. J. Heney passed
a restful night and is much better

When the Ruef trial was resumed
this morning, the same warlike or
military aspect marked the surround

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

a 'wrangle Dozler allowed the affi

NEUHAUSEN A SURETY.
Accommodates Man Against Whom
He Had Gathered Evidence.
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.

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-

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.
The charges to which the stnte
seem very likely to be subject during
the years 1909-10 are as follows:

'One Sweeping Remonstrance Turned
Into Farce Treasurer Fails
to Get Increase
Two and one-half hours of talk was
indulged iu and a few minutes of
actual business was transacted at the
regular meeting of the city council
Monday night. 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

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

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
