ELEVATOR
PETITION GOING ROUNDS TO GET
COUNCIL TO CHANGE SITE
OF STRUCTURE
WILL BE PRESENTED IN FEW DAYS
Boosters For New Scheme Have All
Sorts of Reasons Why Other
Streets Would Be More
Advantagous
Petitions are being circulated
through the city asking the council to
reconsider and move the elevator
from Seventh street to a new location
on Eighth street.
The plan of the boosters for the
new scheme is to get the petitions in
condition to offer to the council at
the next meeting on Wednesday even
ing. The contention is that the city
owns its approach to tBe elevator at
the head of Eighth street and that
there would be no property to con
demn or any preliminary legal fights
to be fought through before the ele
vator could be completed.
It is also contended that the new
postoffice will be at Eighth street and
that the upper end of the street will
be one of the important business sec
, tions of the city within the next few
years and just" as convenient as the
present location.
The promoters of the new scheme
plan to have the matter ready for the
consideration of the council within the
next few days. It is believed that the
rest of the foundation is so small that
the city could afford to make the
chansre even at this late date and that
it world be less expensive in the end
than if the case is fought through
with Mrs. Sarah Chase and the courts
should find that the board of review
ers did not assess her damage high
enough to cover the actual loss that
she will suffer by the construction of
the elevator and the opening of the
street through her property.
WILLAMETTE HOLDS
SPECIAL ELECTION
The city council of Willamette meet
in a special meeting Monday and set
November 17 at the date of the elec
tion to vote on their new charter.
There has been considerable mix-up
for the past year in regard to the city
charter, and it has been decided to
settle the discussion by putting up an
entirely new charter before the peo
ple. In most respects the new charter
is the same as the old, excepting in
regard to the tax limit. Under the
old charter the limit was placed at 15
rifills while under the new it is placed
at three.
The present tax assessment of Wil
lamette is three mills- which is one
of the lowest in the county.
MILWAUKIE ALSO TO GET

at once. An appropriation of $1800
has been provided to get mo'dern
furniture for the office. Automatic
lock boxes will be used. About 300

BRAKLE SEEMS
READY FOR EIGHT
Despite an adverr opinion from
the attorney general of -Oregon hold
ing that he is disqualified and can
not hold the office of secretary of tho
Clackamas County Board of Health,
Dr. J. A. Van Brakle seems to welcome
the medical fight.
As soon as aware that Deputy' Dis
trict Attorney L. Stipp had filed in
the circuit court a complaint in the
natre of quo warranto, asking for his
removal and alleging that he is not
qualified under the laws of Oregon,
to exericse the duties of his office,
his attorneys J. N. Seivers and U'Ren
& Schuebel offered to accept service
on the complaint and will conduct the
trial on behalf of the acting health of
ficer. - Attorneys Clarence L. Eaton and
Joseph E. Hedges will appear as
counsel for the state of Oregon, their
contention being that the county
health officer must be a person corn
potent to properly diagnose cases and
if necessary to quarantine, and admin
ister drugs and in general to carefully
look after the sanitary condition of
the county and the health of its peo
ple a work which they assert an
osteopath cannot properly accomplish
unless he is a graduate of a "reputable
medical college" as prescribed by
statute.
BASIS FOR DIVORCE
Two suits for divorce were filed in
the office of the county clerk Monday.
Henry H. Yost brought suit against
his wife, Madalena M. Yost, charging
her with desertion. They were mar
ried April 31, 1912 at Salem.
The other suit was brought by Eliz
abeth Whittle against Harry Whittle
who is charged with cruelty. They
were married November 14, 1912 at
Portland.
HUERTA STILL PRESIDENT
DESPITE ELECTION
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27. The elec
tion yesterday resulted just as every
one had expected.
It was clear today that not enough
votes were cast to elect a president.
The congressional candidates who
received majorities will get together,
it was expected, and declare them
selves elected Huerta approving.
Then they will declare that the
presidential, as distinguished from
the congressional, election was in
valid and ask Huerta to remain at the
head of the government until another
election can be held. This will be
whenever Huerta wants one.
Persons familiar with the Mexican
constitution said they did not see how
the congressional election could be
called valid and the presidential elec
tion void, in view of the fact that the
presidential and congressional candi
dates were voted for on the same bal
lots. Practical politicians replied,
however that this was a mere detail
which would not be permitted to
stand in the provisional government's
way.

RINK
Following out his threat to swear
out a complaint against them if they
operated the rink on Sunday, Con
stable Jack Frost Monday ' signed a
complaint that brougbt H.-Pierce and
O. A. Soltz into the justice court to
answer a charge of a violation of the
Sunday closinglaw.
Both men appeared in court and a
demurrer was immediately filed to
the complaint, justice Seivers held,
however, that the statute was broad
enough to include skating rinks as an
amusement that was under the legal
ban and the men will enter their plea
within the next few days.
During the argument before the
court, Joseph E. Hedges contended
that a country home where a man
could take his wife and family on
Sunday or even the green hill sides
under the trees where-"a man and his
wife could listen to the singing of
the birds n the tree tops and look
over the pleasant valleys and green
clad hills in the distance" was just
as much of an amusement as the
skating rink which the constable
would have closed down. He argued
that the law did not include skating
rinks when it closed down Sunday
amusements and that it specified no
amusementrthat bore any resemblance
to the rink. Along that line, he
argued that the court could only in
clude those amusements that were
smilar to those mentioned in the
statute and did not think that the
skating rink came under his class.
Livy Stipp, deputy prosecuting at
tornev, appeared for the state in the
case. The defense will demand a
jury trial.

RECEIVER DECLARES DIVIDEND
FOR A LARGE CROWD OF

ADMINISTRATION COST IS HEAVY
Estimated Legal Steps Taken Will
Run Bill Up to More Than
$10-000 Before Estate
Has Been Closed
Barde & Levitt has declared a 25
percent dividend for the creditors
and another one is in sight that will
soon be divided among those to whom
the company owes money.
B. N. Hicks, referee in bankruptcy,
Monday authorized the declaration of
the dividends for the benefit of the
173 creditors of the concern. He also
signed a permit authorizing the sale
of $20,000 worth of stock in the con
cern of Barde & Son, of Portland, to
raise cash for the satisfaction of. the
creditors of the 'concern.
It is estimated that the costs of ad
ministration of the bankrupt estate
will be fully $10,000. The manage
ment of the four stores has entailed
the appointment of receivers at each
place and a keeper of the stock at a
high salary. This has added to the
cost and the total will run close to
$10,000, it is now estimated.
It is believed that another dividend
will be declared later by the pur"
chaser and authorized by the receiver
but just how much this will be is still
uncertain. - .
