D. P. THOMPSON ELECTED
HE GETS 3IORI3 THAN TWO TO ONE
VOTE FOR. SCHOOL, DIRECTOR,
His Opponent Scores in Tito Small
PolUngr-PInces Q,uiet Contest,
Light Vote.
David P. Thompson was yesterday elect
ed School Director of District No. 1, to
succeed J. A. Strowbridge, by a majority
of 952, receiving 1696 votes out of a total
of 24S0. His opponent, J. P. Flnley, car
ried only two small precincts, one on the
Macadam, road, in South Portland, and one
on Powell street, on the East Side.
The election was unusually quiet. After
the opening of the polls at 1 o'clock, car
riages bearing the placards of the candi
dates were much in evidence, and the
fact that those labeled with Mr. Flnley's
name seemed to be the most numerous for
a time led to the belief that he was in
the lead. At the polls, however, it was
generally known early In the day that Mr.
Thompson would be elected, and this be
came evident as soon as the School Board
began to canvass the vote.
At the various polling-places on the West
Side, groups of men were gathered, offer
ing tickets to the voters or discussing the
chances of the candidates. The largest
vote was polled at 1C7 Fourth street, where
Mr. Thompson received 297 ballots to his
opponent's 13L "Women voted in small
numbers at i.early all the polling-places,
walking quietly in and depositing their
balloiB T'itl'cut a sign of the flutter of
excitement which the onlookers seemed to
expect.
On tbc East Side.
The election passed off on the East Side
without any special feature or incident
at 'E.ly of the polling-places. At Sellwood
the judges had an easy time till about the
clcse, when a number of votes came In.
At Gruner'e Hall the judges had plenty of
leisure on their hands, but there was
more Interest at G4 Grand avenue than
anywhere eke in Central East Portland.
At this polling-place a great many women
voted, and took more than usual Interest
in the election. At the polling-place on
Russell street, where ex-Mayor Hill was
one of the clerks, there was also more
than ordinary interest. A great many
women also cast their votes1 at this place.
On the whole, there was not as much
Interest as at former school elections.
However, there were workers out for both
candidates, and were doing their best. J.t
would have been difficult to have told dur
ing the voting just who was ahead. As
the vote was light the count was quickly
made and the returns from the East Side
polling-places sent to the Clerk's office.
The polls were closed at 6 P. M., and by
9 the count was finished. Mr. Thompson
takes his seat Immediately, and will meet
with the Director? at their next session.

BIKE REPAIRERS COMBINE.
Portland Shops Will Maintain Prices
and List Dcodbcats.
The Bicycle Board of Trade, a combina
tion of Portland bicycle repairers, has de
creed that its new schedule of prices shall
go Into effect next Thursday. Of the 24
bicycle shops within the boundaries of the
city, 21 have become members, and three
stand out, preferring to go it alone, as
heretofore.
The object of vie organization, as sta ed
by some of its p-omlnent members, is to
"protect ourselves from ruinous compe
tition, and also irom dtadbeats who refuse
or neglect to pay their bicycle bills. At
present, when a man brings In his wheel
to have a new rim put on, he asks, 'How
much will you do it for?' We answer,
$2. 'Oh, I can get it done for $1 50 down
street.' All right, let him take It. I won't
touch It for any less than 52. Anofher man
comes In to have a puncture fixed. 'What
will you do it for?' 'Fifty cents.' 'Oh, I
can take it down to So-and-So. who will
do it for 25 cents.'- Very well, let him
take it; I'll not toucn a double-tube tire
for less than CO cents, nor a single tube for
Jess than 25 cents. Of course, If he can
take It somewhere else and get It dona
for lees than that. It hurts business, and
the object of the Bicycle Board of Trade
Is to prevent such a ruinous policy.
"Then again. If a man says he will pay
me 51 50 next Saturday night for fixing
that wheel, and neglects to do so, every
member of our combine !; notified and
the delinquent can't get any work done In
any other shop, even if he offers to pay
cash for It. Dealers who sell wheels on
InBtallments are to be protected the same
way, and wheelmen who neglect to keep
their payments up will be listed with
the members of the Bicycle Board of
Trade, and they can't buy a thing from
any of us until they square matters on
that wheel.
"Organizations of this kind have existed
in San Francisco, Seattle, Spokane ana
Tccoma for some time, and Portland la
the last city on the Coast to swing into
line. The cutthroat system has been fol
lowed In Portland ever since bicycles were
introduced, and It is high time some mu
tual effort was made to stop it.
"How can we compel the rebellious re
pairers to join our comblne?-
"A man who refuses to Join us will have
to pay full retail prices for extras and ma
terial. After he has paid 60 cents for a
rim that other men are buying for 40, he
is likely to 'take a tumble' and come In."
One of the bicycle men who has refused
to join, said: "I am making a living at
present rates, and why should I raise 33
per cent on my prices? It is true, the big
dealers in Portland have notified me that
I can't buy anything of them unless I
join, but I am arranging to obtain my sup
plies direct from the East. Most of my
customers are poor men, whose wagea
have not been raised, though the expense
of living has, and I do not feel Justified
in entering a combine to raise prices. 1
am enameling and baking this frame for
$4, whllo others charge $7 for the same
work. I am making fair wages at this
rate, and can live without the new com
bine." n
HELD OUT A PITCHFORK.
Steamboat Ascent Seizes Security for
a Freight Bill.
The settlement of a rather lively fracas
which occurred on Alder-Street wharf
Saturday took place in the Police Court
yesterday. F. Leach, who has a foundry
near Milwaukle. manufactures window
weights. Owing1 to the rise in the price of
the scrap Iron he uses In his business, he
la compelled to go around the country to
collect material. He had been to Lewis
River and collected a lot, and on arriv
ing here the steamboat agent on the
wharf demanded payment of freight
charges. Leach said ho had paid the
freight to the purser on the boat, but
this did not satisfy the agent, who seized
a pitchfork belonging to Leach as secur
ity for the freight.
Then the trouble commenced, and the
loafers around the wharf had a picnic.
Leach undertook to take the fork away
from the agent, but, being hampered by
a shepherd dog he was leading, and the
agent being an active little fellow, he
could not do It The agent hit him a blow
on the leg with the fork, where there was"
a big patch of red paint or rust, and the
spectators imagined that he had been
stabbed, and groaned at tho sight of the
"blood." Then Leach tied his dog to his
wagon and returned to renew the fray,
but the agent and the fork had disap
peared. Then Leach went to the Police Court
and entered a charge of larceny of a
pitchfork against the agent. On hearing
HON. D. P.
tho case. Judge Hennessy decided that the
agent had a rbjht to retain the fork as
security for the freight, and dismissed
the case. Now all the steamboatmen
are providing themselves with pitchforks
to collect freight with at least, so savs

THE BEST CORSET FOR
LA VI DA
It is strictly hand made, French
surpasses In wearing qualities and
portoa gored corset sola in America.
SOME REASONS why they are better for the
American women than the Imported corset
BECAUSE they are fitted to American
models when manufactured, and consequently
fit the American figure. The imported corsets
are fitted to the French figure, and conse
quently do not
BECAUSE, fitting the American figure,
they are health-giving, their shape removing
the overtax on the heart, increasing the mental
and physical capacity, improving the diges
tion and assimilation, and giving new life and
ambition to the wearer.
BECAUSE they are adapted to any style
of dress, for they are made to fit the Ameri
can figure, and a corset fitting correctly will
enable any practical modiste to give the wearer
entire satisfaction in the fit of her gown, no
matter what the style of her costume may be.
BECAUSE, although superior in every
way, they are 50 per cent cheaper in price
than the best imported gored corset sold in
America.

Trying: to Repair Sixth Street.
Councilman Baker called attention to
the bad condition of the asphalt pavement
on Sixth street, below Burnslde, which Is
a disgrace to the city. He said he had
been requested to bring the matter before
tho Council and endeavor to have some
action taken to secure the improvement
of this- thoroughfare. On motion of Ba
ker, the City Engineer was directed to
devise some means for securing the repair
of the street and report the same at the
next meeting of the Council.
Councllmen Belding, Jameson and Mar
tln and Mayor Storey spoke of the- bad
condition of the street, and expressed
their willingness to render any assistance
their power to secure Its repair,
, Auditor Gambeil being called upon for
information as to the best course to be

stated that unless the Interested property.
owners chose to petition for the Improve
ment, it could be secured only by an ap
propriation direct from the general fund,
or by having the work done under the
expediency clause.
Mr. Belding was of opinion that the
owners of the abutting property would be
willing to incur the expense of placing
the street In good repair, but whether
they will sign a petition asking for the
work to be done, remains to be. seen.
Tho pavement over a large part of the
street needing repairs was raised by the
great flood of 1S94, but not materially In
jured. A great number of holes have

by tho gas escaping from leaky pipes.

COMING ATTRACTIONS,
Prizefight Picture.
Three exhibitions will be given at the
Marquani Grand, commencing tonight.
There are VA miles of film used by the
blograph machine to show the Jeffries
Sharkey contest pictures, which, were
taken at Coney Island last November.
These Alms are the largest ever manufac
tured. They are made exceptionally thin
In order that tho light can penetrate them
more easily. The blograph machine la
really the only perfect projected' moving
picture machine ever made. It has been
used for showing different pictures at the
Palace Theater, London, and Keith's The
ater, New York, for more than four years
Owners of the Jeffrics-Sharkey pictures
assert that, had tho pictures of Corbett
and FItzsImmons been taken by the Blo
graph Company. It would have made a
difference In the receipts of more than
$200,000, as these pictures were seen in
nearly every country in the world, but the
films used for that contest were nearly if
not quite three times the thickness used
for the Jeffrles-Sharkey pictures, and the
machine for these pictures was very im
perfect, which caused the flicker. The
blograph pictures, unlike these, have no
flicker or hazy appearance. It Is almost
like witnessing the real contest, and In
consequenco the business done by them
Is very large wherever they are on ex
hibition. "A Contented "Wonsan."
Of tho many farce-comedies which
Charles Hoyt has contributed to the stage
I ln recent years, there is none which hal
ever Impressed theater-goers so favora
bly as "A Contented Woman." This has
been forcibly demonstrated by the crowd
ed theaters everywhere the piece has
been presented. "A Contented Woman"
has been unanimously pronounced as by
far the be3t thing Mr. Hoyt has ever at
tempted. "A Contented Woman" will be
presented Friday and Saturday night and
Saturday matinee of this week, and is
likely to attract an audience that will
test the seating capacity. This great cast
is headed by one of America's most beau
tiful women. Miss Belle Archer. The sale
of scats will begin tomorrow morning.

Fourth street, was not as contracted for.
(Before granting judgment, Judge Frazer
j denied a motion for a new trial. A point
I made by L. B. Cox, attorney for the de
I fendant, on the motion for a new trial
I was that the verdict of the Jury was ln
( correct and could not stand. The Jury
I w as instructed. In addition to the general
verdict, to bring ln a special verdict as
to this question: "Was the contract sub-
tion. the Jury returned the answer, "No"
Judge Frazer also Instructed the jury
that they must find the contract had been
substantially complied with In order to
fmd for the plaintiff, because the action
was brought on the contract, but If they
found that the contract had been sub
stantially although not exactly compiled
with, they might find for the plaintiff, de
ducting the amount they thought proper
from the contract price for the failure In
unsubstantial particulars. The jury re
turned a verdict for only part of the
amount sued for, and seemed to think the
proper answer to the question was "No,"
In accordance with such a verdict.
Mr. Cox contended that under this er
roneous special verdict, the general ver
dict was of no force. W. T. Mulr, at
torney for the plaintiff, argued that the
verdict was good.
Judge Frazer said the Supreme Court
was very liberal In refusing to disturb
verdicts on technicalities, and he declined
to set it aside.

a new trial, because the jury awarded tho
plaintiff only 51 damages for the occupa
tion by defendant of the place since fast
August. The plaintiff asked for the ren
tal value of the hotel, and the defendant
placed it at about 55 per month, and the
plaintiff at 515. The plaintiff contends that
according to defendant's own showing, tho
damages ought to have been at least 535.
The attorney for Mrs. Danner argued that
the wrongful detention of the property
was the only point in Issue, and the dam
ages for detention were only inc d nt il
and within the province of the jury to
assess. Judge Sears took the matter
under advisement. Mrs. Danner still oc
cupies the premises, and it Is. said will
appeal to the Supreme Court. Mrs.
Schneider is satisfied so long as she re
ceives the rental value.
