X LEVY IS 36 MILLS
CQQntVjCorrirrissioners Will An
- "" tidunce If Today.
FOUR HILLS MORE THAN LAST YEAR'S
County Levy Is 8.4 Mill Low Valu
, atlon JJakes a Hlsh, Tax
Jfecessary.
The county commissioners will announce
the tax levy for county purposes today.
It was practically decided yesterday that
the levy for county purposes shall be S.4
mills. This will make the total levy 36
mttls, as compared with 32 mills last 3 ear.
The increase Is caused "by and is scarcely
proportionate o the reduction made in the
assessed valuation.
The 36 mills is made up of the following
items.:
State tax 6.3 mills
County tax S.4 mills
Boad tax 2 mills
State school tax 5 mills
City tax levy. 8 Uls
Port of Portland..., 1.5 mills
School district No. 1. 4.S mills
Total .....26 mills
This Is probably what the commissioners
will announce today, although they still
have time to make a change if they de
cide It is necessary?
To the county tax of. 5.4 mills might as
well be added the 2 mills for roads, mak
ing 10.4 mills. This goes to pay the "ex
penses of the courts and salaries of coun
ty officials, the cost of assessing and col
lecting taxes, cost of maintaining and re
pairing free bridges, etc
The city tax, levy Is fixed by law at 8
mills, and this with the money derived
from licenses, etc., pays the expenses of
the city. The s'L.te school tax of 5 mills
and the levy of school district No. 1, 4.S
mills, together, make 9.S mills, which
goes as far ar it can toward paying the
cost of the public schools of this city.
It may seem strange to some that the
tax ior supporting schools is 1.8 mills
larger than, the tax for running the whole
city in which the schools are, but this
can be explained on the theory that a part
Is greater or more expensive than the
-whole. One person familiar with the mak
ing up of assessments and tax rolls, re
marked -yesterday that the total tax levy
was not large enough that It ought to
have been at least 38 mills.
LETTER FROM A REGULAR.
Jacob Smith, of Sixteenth. Infantry,
Praises Oregon 31en.
A good word comes from a regular spl
dier in the distant Philippines for the
.Second Oregon. Jacob Smith, company L,
Sixteenth Infantry, says he finds soldiers
wherever he goes who were with or near
Oregon's volunteer regiment In Luzon, and
e ery one has high praise for both officers
and men. Writing under date of Septem
ber 13, 1899, he says:
"After much experience soldiering in
the Philippines, I.wiU make my first re
mark In lavor of the Second Oregon. I
have Tiad the pleasure of meeting soldiers
wherever I go that soldiered near the Sec
ond Oregon, both on garrison duty and in
battle, and every one praises them high
ly. Their officers were not only shrewd,
hut noted for their bravery-
"I visited the cemetery at Manila, where
I find 27 of .the brave Oregon boys resting.
I want to say to" the-xelatives of these
dead .men, that the, .graves are well re
jnembered hy' thelr'sbldier 'comrades.
"No doubt the people in the United
States think it a mystery why it takes so
long to put these insurgent people down.
If the whole truth and all the circum
stances were known, no doubt .many over
In the United States would change their
minds. There is but little more fighting
expected, yet that has heen the cry for
tho last four .months. The niggers will
shoot- and; run and It would worry four
regiments! bur men taking turns chas
ing, before catching them. They are
treacherous, and, to my mind, utterly un
worthy of self-government. Some people
In the Stated think that these people
should have their Independence, but they
would quickly change their mind by tak
ing a trip over here. They no doubt
would, say then that it would be a dis
grace to the world to have these people
govern themselves."

IN THE SEVERAL .COURTS
JUDGE SEARS DECIDES PATTERSON
IS POUNDMASTER.
Opinion in Case Brought by Cn swell
Question o Foiseiture of
Bail Comes Vp.
Judge Sears yesterday decided that W.
Patterson is the poundmaster of the city
of Portland, and Incidentally confirmed
the right of William A. Storey to the
position of mayor. A, Casvell, the ap
pointee of Mayor Mason to the office of
poundmaster, brought a proceeding to try
the title of Patterson, whom Storey ap
pointed as his successor. Storey, while
he was president of the council and acting
mayor, appointed Patterson to the place,
and reappointed him after being elected
mayor. Attorney Joseph, for the peti
tioner, directed his, main argument to.
Storey's alleged IHegal election as mayor
and his previous lack of power to remove
Caswell, as president of the council.
Judge Sears declared that, inasmuch as
Judge Frazer had sustained Storey's right
to the office In a proceeding directly at
tacking it, the right could not afterward
be questioned In a, purely collateral way.
Storey, having been confirmed In the of
fice, he could exercise all the powers
thereunto appertaining, the removal and
appointment of poundmaster being one.
The court held that the appointment of
Patterson by Storey while the latter was
acUng mayor andtiU a councilman, was
not valid, the vote for confirmation being
six to five, including Storey's, As acting
mayor, he might have .cast the deciding
vote, there being a tie, but he voted as
councilman, which he could not do In a
matter In which he was also acting as
mayor, and had inade. the appointment
as such. But Storey was afterward elect
ed mayor, and reappointed Patterson, and
this appointment confirmed by the coun
cil was lawful.
Carey & Mays and John F. Logan ar
gued the case as defendant's counsel.
FORFEITURE OF BAIL.
Interesting: Point Brought Up in An.
nie Stebblns' Case.
The case of Annie Stebblns, the negress
convicted of larceny of 50 from Andy
Gross, came "before Judge Qeorge yester
day on a motion for the forfeiture of $250
cash ball because of the nonappearance
of the woman to receive sentence. There
was considerable argument upon the sub
ject, and the case was continued till Friday
to give Mr. Giltner, attorney for the, state,
time to file an answer to an affidavit and
a petition filed-by-the -opposing side. The
law upon tne suDject or oau iorielture.
"If, without sufficient excuse, the de
fendant neglect or fall to appear for ar
raignment, or for trial, or judgment, or
upon any other occasion wheh his pres
ence in court may be lawfully required,
or to surrender himself in execution of
the Judgment, the court must direct the
fact to be entered in its journal; and the
undertaking, of ball or the money depos
ited in lieu thereof, as the case may be,
is thereupon forfeited."
An affidavit signed by Dan Marx, a
pawnbroker, who deposited the money for
the woman, was presented to the court,
setting forth such fact, and objecting to
Its forfeiture. Marx, in the affidavit, al
leges that he deposited the cash with E
J. Dougherty, the county jaller.and re
ceived his receipt for the same. He states
that he asked Dougherty when the money
would be returned to him, and Dougherty
answered: "As soon as Annie Stebblns
appears for trial."
On those conditions Marx alleges he de
posited the $250, and that he made it his
special business to see that she did pre
sent herself for trial. Marx 'thereupon
contends that he was exonerated from
further liability, and wants the money re
funded to him.
C. J. Schnabel, who appeared as attor
ney for Marx, in an amended petition,
makes the further po,lnt that E J. Dough
erty had no authority whatever to receive
the $250 as bail, or any sum, or any ball.
He called the court's attention to the stat
ute upon the subject, which provides as
follows:
"The defendant, at any time after an
order admitting him to hail, Instead of
giving ball, may deposit with the clerk
of the court at which he is held to an
swer, or In which the action Is pending or
the judgment appealed from is given, the
sum of money mentioned In the order; and
upon delivering to the officer in whose
custody he is the clerk's certificate of
such deposit, he must be discharged from
custody."
Counsel argued that, even conceding
that Mr. Dougherty acted as the agent
of Marx, the law was not compiled with,
because Mr. Dougherty on the receipt of
the money permitted the woman to go,
and turned the $250 over to the sheriff,
and the sheriff's return shows that he de
posited the bail with he clerk, but the
clerk never delivered the clerk's certifi
cate of deposit as specified in the statute,
nnd the nroeeedlnirs were therefore illegal
TheobjeqlS of he clerk's certificate is"
doubtless to advise the sheriff that cash
ball has been furnished, but If the sheriff
has received the money himself, and has
surrendered it to the clerk, he knows it Is
i tbero, and -whether under such circum

stances the absence of Jhe clerk's certifi
cate Is a fatal error, seems to be the point
'for Judge ,George tgi pass upon in this
jjtuLiuumr part pi ine t controversy.
Gounqel also has setfor.th In the amend
ed petition that -Annie Stebblns, on Jan
uary 8, the day of her trial, was taken
into custody by the sheriff, and was not
permitted to leave the courtroom at the
conclusion of the trial, until the court so
ordered, and by being In custody the ball
was exonerated.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Giltner, In
response, referred to the statute concern
ing the forfeiture Qf bail, and argued that
tne money was the money of the defend
ant so far as this court Is concerned. "He
cited a New York case where the court
held that even a fine was payable out of
cash deposited as ball by a person other
than the defendant Mr. Giltner said that
anything Mr. Dougherty may have said as
to when Mr. Marx might get the money
back was not binding.
Suit Over Flouring: Mills.
Yesterday was begun in Judge Sears'
court the second trial of the action of
John Klernan against V. Kratz, to "re
cover a "balance 6f $5215 alleged due" oh
the sale of the McMinnvllle flouring mlils;
The controversy Involves certificates of
deposit In the 'Portland Savings bank, and
the point in dispute Is whether Kratz had
signed an extention of time of payment to
the bank before he turned the certificates
over to 'Klernan. The certificates were
signed off by Klernan, "who says he did so
because Kratz had previously signed off.
This the latter positively denies, and as
serts that If he had extended the time of
payment it would not have been necessary
for Klernan to have signed nff, and Kratz
also says, if Klernan had not granted time
to the bank the certificates could all 'have
been realized upon, and he, Kratz, freed
from all liability.' and not now be having
to defend this1 proceeding. His position' is
that Klernan toolc'the matter In his oWn
hands, and must stand the loss. The case
Is being stubbornly contested on both
sides. Henry E. McGinn and Mr. "Ward
appear as attorney for the plaintiff, and
W. D. Fenton and Ed Mendenhall for the
defense. At the former trial the jury dis
agreed, standing about even.
Klernan sold the McMinnvllle flouring
mills to Kratz In January. 1891, for $14,
500. receiving a little over $7000. cash, and
as the balance of the purchase price cer
tificates of deposit In the Portland Say-
Ings banks for M tho following amounts:1
$62 45, $2500, $1600, $1500, $1000, $382. and also
a qheck for $316 accrued interest. The bank
at that time had suspended, but was mak
ing preparations to reopen, and Klernan
accepted the certificates only after Kratz
had guaranteed the payment by written
agreement, as follows
"In consideration of the acceptance of
tho certificates and checks by John Klernan,-
y. Kratz guarantees , to John Kler
nan that thg full payment of both princi
pal and interest of tfie certificates shall
betmade by the; bank, on or before three
years from datevthereof, or, if not so paid,
promises and agrees with John Kierrian
that he will at that time pay the full
amount of principal- and Interest so re
maining unpaid, ' the said John Klernan
returning to said V. Kratz said certifi
cates and check, or so many of them or
so much of them as remains unpaid at the
expiration of said term."
Klernan states that at the Instance 'pC
Kratzhe exchanged the certificates of AeA
posit at the Portland Savings bank on May1
19, 1894, for other certificates' payable tc
John Klernan as here given: One certifi
cate for $713, due in nine months; two for
$713, due in 12 months; three fpr $713, due
In 15 months; four for 5713, due in 18
months; five for $713, due In 21 months,
and six for $713, due and payable in24
months.
Klernan contends that he took these last
certificates for the accommodation 'of
Kratz, and to enable the hank to reopen
and to enable the bank to meet Its liabil
ity to Kratz; also thrt Kratz, while he was
not present, consented to the exchange,
and that he would abide by the agreement.
Klernan avers that he received from the
bank $3385, and that there is still $5215 ow
ing; that the bank Is insolvent, and Kratz
refused to liquidate. Interest from Janu
ary, 1897, is asked.
The answer of Kratz eets up that ho
never, agreed to any extension, and Kler
nan d'ld so without his knowledge. That
when the bank reopened and was doing
business between May and November,
1894, the certificates were all due and pay
able. They were 12 months' certificates, is
sued early-In the year 1893, and ought to
have been realized upon.
