NEW TROLLEY LINES
City & Suburban Extensions
to the North.
WIRING TOWARD ST. . JOHNS
About Three Miles of Aeiv Tract
"Will Be Iaid and Peninsula.
Residents Will Have Much.
Better Service.
The proposed street railway extensions
in Upper Alblna by the City & Suburban
Hallway Company Include the construc
tion of about two miles of double track
to be put down at once, and about one
mile of single track after a time. When
the new system has been completed, it
will do away with the junction at the
corner of Stanton and Commercial streets
from which point the steam motor rail
way to St. Johns begins. A double track
will be built northward on Williams ave
nue from. Stanton street to Killlngsworth
avenue, and then northward to Maryland
avenue at the Ockley Green station. Iron
for this extension is being distributed
along Williams avenue. Part of the St.
Johns motor railway Is on Killlngsworth
avenue west from Commercial street.
When construction on the proposed double
track reaches Commercial street on Kill
lngsworth avenue, the double track will
take the place? of the single track on to
Ockley Green. The new system contem
plates the removal of the railway from
the Junction on Commercial street to Ock
ley Green entirely, and the steam motor
will be operated between Ockley Green
and St. Johns, practically making the in
tersection of Killlngsworth and Maryland
avenues the Junction and transfer point
from the steam motor and the electric
cars.
Another part of the system is an ex
tension of the Mississippi avenue branch
from its present terminus at Beech street
northward a few blocks and then west
ward, possibly on Mason, Skldmore, or
some other cross street to Maryland ave
nue, and theni northward on Maryland
avenue to the Junction at Killlngsworth
avenue, Ockley Green To this latter
point electric cars will be operated.
With electric cars running there on
Williams avenue and Mississippi avenue","
the Commercial-street railway would not
be required, as It Is within four blocks of
both these avenues. The extension of the
Mississippi-avenue railway will not be 'un
dertaken at present, but It is part of the
new system. It is as Important as the
double track on the Wllliams-Kllllngs-worth
route, and will cut into a well
settled district Residents down further
on the Peninsula will get at least an hour
ly service to Ockley Green, which will be
a great improvement over the present
time table, which Is all the way from, an
hour and a half to two hours. The rail
way company assured the committees of
the various citizens' clubs, when the re
quest for better service was being gen
erally agitated, that there would be. an
improvement made when It could begot
ten at, and if they get an hourly schedule
to Ockley Green and electric cars from
there to the heart of the city? they will
be well provided for.

BURGLAR SCOTT GUESSES THAT HE
ROBBED SIXTY HOUSES.
Several Citizens Recover Fart ef
Their Belonsins;s and Learned
"Where Remainder 'Went.
In another confession to the police yes
terday, W. W. Scott, alias Nicholson,
Bruce and Burns, arrested for burglary,
said he "guessed" he had entered and
robbed upwards of 60 houses In Portland
and vicinity during the past two years.
'Tve been In so many houses that, real
ly. I've lost count of them," concluded
Scott
People whose houses have recently been
robbed were again In evidence at the po
lice station, looking over the goods found
In Scott's room. In the hope that they
might recognize some of their stolen
property. One man said. Joyfully: "Hul
lo, that's my revolver." Then there were
exclamations of: "That's my coat,"
"That's my watch."
An elderly citizen. looking over the col-
that very few spectators watching the
procession en route to the police station
would have thought that it was the re

ants had plenty of money with them, and
when they learned that ball of $250 each
would be required for their appearance
before Municipal Judge Cameron this
morning, the necessary J2500 was prompt
ly paid, most of it in gold coin. The
police said that the room3 where the
raid took place had been crowded with
visitors since the defendants arrived from
Seattle and started business here, several
days ago. The drawings took place every
hour, and customers chose the lucky num
bers, or otherwise, with their eyes shut.

A
Man Pleads Cftillty to Larceny and
Receives Sentence.
A singular Instance of willingness to
etand punishment for a ssck sister's sake
and' to save her husband from further
detention at jail came to light yesterday,
before Municipal Judge Cameron.
As already told In Monday's Oregonian,
Frank Grove, an employe of the Port
land Hotel, and his brother-in-law, Frank
Tucker, were arrested a little past mid
night on the 10th Inst-, charged with the
larceny of meats from the hotel. Grove
admitted that Tucker visited him at ffite
hotel, before the larceny took place, and-
that afterward on looking put- the win
dow he saw a policeman stopping Tucker
on Morrison street, near Fifth.
Tucker when arrested admitted that the
meat was taken from the Portland HotcL
In his alarm he referred the police to
Grove as a person who would vouch for
him.
This was the status of the case when
it was called yesterday In the courtroom,
and even the police were hardly prepared
for the sacrifice that Tucker was about
to make.
"It Is clearly shown that the meat came
from the storeroom of the hotel, where
Grove worked," observed the Judge, after
the police had given evidence as to the
arrest.
"Hear my story." pleaded Grove. "When
Tucker, my brother-in-law, visited me at
the hotel, I didn't know he had taken the
meat. After he left. I looked out the
window and saw that he was carrying
something, and that he had been stopped
by a policeman. I got scared, and ran
to my lodgings on the East Side. On
looking out one of my windows I saw a
policeman on the sidewalk, and I at
tempted to escape by climbing down the
fire-escape. As I hung to a window, two
stories up. I -was caught."
Here Tucker stepped forward toward
the Judge and took all the blame, saying:
"I was arrested with the stuff in the bag.
Thata's all."
"This is a puzzling' case," replied the
Judge. "The evidence does not prove

auested by the board to furnish free
water for the street fountains In Al

pany, declined to furnish the water with

The Portland Trust Company filed a re
monstrance against the improvement be

it was not in accordance with the spec
ifications. Parts of the improvements on Rodney,
Clifton, East Burnside, East Twenty
eighth and Schuyler streets, and a sewer
in East Eighth street were accepted.
A fine of 535 was Imposed on Contractor
Beilly, for being delinquent on the Im

The construction of a sewer in Ban.

connection with the assessments.
the same grounds on which they asked
for a rehearing- of the case.
Judge George ruled against the main
contention raised In Dixon's favor. This
was that the testimony of Dixon's" ac
complice, Mrs. Frost, on which he was
.convicted, lacked sufficient corroboration.
Xn.t?i3s point, Judge George said that he
had examined the testimony carefully,
and was convinced that the statements
on the witness stand of Mark Schlussel,
County Recorder Beach and the messen
ger boys was sufficient to warrant the
Jury's verdict.
On the contention that the indictment
was faulty In that it charged forgery of
a deed, rather than forgery of a name,
the court took the position that it was
sufficient, and- that such a quibble over
words did not offer valid grounds for a
new trial.
Dixon will be sentenced for the two
charges on wnlch he was convicted, trans
ferring property without a just title and
forging a deed. There will also be a con
test before the court over the money paid
to Dixon by J. M. Hodson for the prop
erty, amounting to 52125. Almost all of
this amount has been recovered by the
police department, and a motion will be
filed asking for Its return to the owners.

My house was robbed two years ago."
Mrs. Loolamlre, of Mount Tabor, called
to see about a watch that had been stolen
from her house several months agol,Her
watch was not In the loot.
"Perhaps Scott will tell you about the
watch, if he was at your place," ob
served Chief McLauchlan. Detectives
Snow and Kerrigan accordingly went to
Scott's call, and told him of Mrs. Loola
mlre's quest.
"Always glad to oblige a lady," said
Scott, smoothly. "Lemme see, what
house was that?" he went on. "Ive been
in so many. Oh. yes, I remember it now.
I sold the watch to a second-hand dealer
on Third street," and he gave the deal

recover the watch.
Anthony Nipper was among the crowd
searching In the loot, and he recognized
several articles as having been stolen
from him, but all the articles stolen were
vnot there. "I'll ask Scott where he dis
posed of your things," observed Detective
Snow, and when told of the Nipper rob

RAIDED THEIR GAME.
Proprietors of "White Men's Chinese
Lottery" Arrested.
Considerable flurry was created among
the patrons of what Is known as "The
White Men's Chinese Lottery?' Second
and Burnside streets, when Policemen
Roberts and Patton visited the place,
yesterday, armed with a warrant, and
arrested the alleged proprietors. The
charge was setting up and maintaining a
lottery, and the men arrested were: S. J.
Jones, Isaac Gratton, John Scott. J. D.
Mist, J. D. Hanlon. J. D. Tlngley, Fred
Fritz, L. Harris, W. H. Boaden and M.
Palmer. The gambling paraphernalia was
seized.
The men arrested behaved so quietly.
Station will also come up for consider
ation. At the last meeting of the Council these
matters received some consideration, but
were finally laid over to be taken up at
the adjourned meeting today. At that
time It was suggested that the extension
of time might be granted to the City &
Suburban Company, If they would agree
to let the Portland Railway Company have
equal rights with them on the First-street
bridge.
Since that time the City & Suburban
Company has laid a double track across
the F'irst-street bridge, and has laid a
new deck between the rails and for a
foot on each side. It Is also under
stood that they no longer desire any ex
tension of time In whiclu to build their
line from First and Burnside streets to the
Grand Central Railway Station, as they
have the rails required by the City En
gineer on the way from, the East, and will
soon be ready to commence work on the
extension.
From this it seems probable that the
Council will have as the principal thing
to consider the question of granting the
Portland Railway Company a franchise
across the First-street bridge, where tha
City & Suburban Company has- a double
track, and where the bridge Is not safe
for the operation of one railroad, let alone
two.
Miss Morse, the Soloist, Delights Her
Listeners With. Her Artistic .
Worlc.
An unusually large and brilliant au
dience crowded the aiarquam. to the doors
last night for the opening symphony con
cert of the season. Applause was hearty
and spontaneous, demonstrating much
cordial Interest In the plucky, vigorous
young orchestra In wfcich Portland music-lovers
take such pride. Their work
ran very smoothly for the first perform'.
ance after the long Summer's rest. There
was evidence of frequent rehearsals and
sincere and earnest effort in grappling
with difficulties. And while there was
of course an occasional roughness that
could not bo entirely effaced, the en
semble, in the main, was characterized
by a sympathetic spirit of co-operation
on the part of the 35 musicians that can.
not fall to bear rich results as the season
progresses.
The programme was much lighter In
character than any that has hitherto
been presented, with the possible excep
tion of the closing concert of last sea
son. Tho leading feature of the evening
was the andante con moto from Beeth
oven's Fifth Symphony, which was char
acterized by much conscientious care and
attention, to detail. It Is not an easy
matter either for a body of musicians
or for an audience to transport them
selves suddenly Into the symphonic mood
of the composer without the aid of the
preparatory stages that logically lead to
it. For a symphony 13 a thing of organic
structure, and no one movement can be
snatched from It and enjoyed with the
same intelligence and warmth of emotion
as when it is heard in its rightful place
In the symphony. A certain harmony of
environment Is necessary to apprehend
Its full beauty. For this reason perhaps
the spirit of caprice and humor that
Beethoven allows himself In this charm
ing andante could not be so successfully
caught In a single programme such as
that of last night. It was, however, as
happily given by the orchestra as was-
posslble under these disadvantageous cir
cumstances, and the audience signified Its
appreciation by an encore. GUlet's "Deux
Careese" that followed, by way of re
sponse, placed in such close juxtaposition
to this beautiful Beethoven number,
sounded rather more trivial and Inconse
quential than, It would have seemed oth
erwise. The orchestra did some of Its most bril
liant work In the "Lohengrin" potpourri,
the Improvement In precision and attack,
the effective crescendos, the carefully
shaded nuances, attesting much faithful
labor and zeal on the part of the musi
cians and their conductor, Mr. Charles
L. Brown, to whose energy and disin
terested enthusiasm so much of the or
chestra's success Is due. Several smaller
pieces by Massenet, Glllet, Delibes and
Verd! were exceedingly interesting as
novelties. And the' beautiful "Shanson
Sans Paroles" (Tschalkowsky) was so
much enjoyed that a repetition was called
for and given.
Miss Morse's rendering of the Salnt
Saens aria, "My Heart at Thy Sweet
Voice" ("Samson and Delilah"), aroused
much enthusiasm. She nas a big voice,
but, with better judgment than is usual
with owners of "big voices," holds Its
power In curb, preferring to give expres
sion to her art In delicate touchs arid
grace of tone and phrasing. The result is
that when the stress of emotion demands
greater volume of tone, one Is surprised
by the revelation of such power and re
serve force. Her rendering of the charm
ing little song by Grieg, "One Summer
Eve," -was full of daintiness and grace.
Mr. Coursen's accompaniments on the
piano were specially delightful for their
buoyant, sparkling airiness. Nothing
more enjoyable In the way of accom
paniment has been heard here la many
a long day.
A Cruel Disgrace to the Army.
Philadelphia Times.
President McKlnley yesterday cast Inef
faceable disgrace upon the Army of the
Nation by arbitrarily restoring Brigadier
General Charles P. Eagan to active duty
as Commissary-General of the United
States. The fact that General Eagan at
once applied for retirement and was re
tired from the Army on the ground of
30 years' service, does not In any degree
extenuate the act of the President. Presi
dent McKlnley Is Commander-in-Chief of
the Army and Navy of the United States,
and he Is the one man of all who should
scrupulously maintain the dignity and
discipline of the service; but there has
never been, In the whole history of our
Army and Navy, such a flagrantly inde
cent wrong-to the Army as that Inflicted
by the restoration of General Eagan.
