TnE MOUSING OI5KOONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1901. CiTY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements Tonight. MARQrAM GRAND - "The Prisoner of Zcnaa, CORDUATS THEATER-'The Country Girl." TllIED TO RUN THE Towv. rhnrlps Llnnehan and John Kramer, of San Fran clso. alighted from the train at the terminal depot yesterday and started to run things in Portland. At Fifth and Stark streets they encountered a China man named Chung Shu. with an um brola, and according to Chung's story, they smashed his umbrella and smote him to the effusion of blood. Policeman Cole arrested the Call for nians. and they were taken before Municipal Judge Cameron, where Llnnehan announced: "I ain't any lawyer, but I'll plead my own case." He accordingly cross-examined three wit nesses and objected to nearly every ques tion asked, until the Judge ultimately In quired: "Llnnehan. what have you been drinking today?" "What all good people take whisky." shouted Llnnehan. Kram er admitted having taken seltzer water. Llnne-han's story was: "I have been a soldier in the Philippines, and bled for my country. As for the Chink, he tripped Ivramer with his umbrlella. When a man hits me, I hit back." Llnnehan was fined 31j and Kramer $25. They could not pay the fines and went to jail. Barb Mineral Specimens. Two hand some specimens of the rich ore from the mine of the Standard Gold & Silver Min ing Company on Dixie Creek, seven miles north of Prairie City, were brought down from the mine yesterday by J. F. Batch elder. One of them was pent to the Na tional Museum at Washington. D. C, and the other was presented to the Chamber of Commerce exhibit. These specimens assay over $300 to the ton, about $100 in sold, a little silver, and the remainder co balt. This is the only mine on the Coast, If not the only one in the country, which is turning out straight cobalt ore. Co balt is a rare mineral. It is used in glaz ing pottery, and the oxide is used In mak ing purple dyes and colors. A small speci men of the ore was sent to the National Museum some time ago, and a request came back for a larger piece of the same ore. Superintendent Dosch was much pleased to secure the handsome specimen presented to the exhibit in his charge, and considers it one of the rarest of his mineral exhibits. Plaster Exhibit in Court. Another Instalment of the Mrs. Rice-Mrs. Bozarth case was heard yesterday before Munici pal Judge Cameron, when Mrs. Rice de fended herself from the charge of defac ing Mrs. Bozarth's house. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Spencer wrung the admis sion from Mrs. Rice that she had called the other woman names, and then he asked: "You abused her, then, to the full extent of your vocabulary?" "My what?" gasped Mrs. Rice. The meaning of the word was then explained to her, and Mrs. Rice ultimately said that she did not have J.ny difficulty In selecting suitable phrases for the subject referred to Mrs. Bo zarth brought a parcel into court con taining plaster, which, she said, Mrs. Rice had knocked from the celling of her house. The Judge marked the plaster 'Exhibit No. 1," and continued the case. Recalled Nine Times. The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave two concerts In New York City last Spring. Mme. Sembrich, the great opera singer, was the soloist of one concert. Leonora Jackson, the violinist, who is to appear at the Mar quam Monday, February 25, was the solo ist of the other. The following press no tice tells of her reception: Leonora Jackson, the young American violinist, who made her first appearance here with the big Boston Symphony Orchestra last night in Carnegie Hall, was recalled nine times after playing Mendelssohn's Con certo in E Minor. Miss Jackson won the audience as soon as she came on the stage. She has a peculiarly attractive manner, and this, added to her splendid equipment as a musician, established her in great favor.

Building Trolley Cars. At the Mil waukie shops of the Portland & Oregon City Railway Company work has been started on two passenger cars to be used on that line. The new car3 will be about the same size as those In service, but will be provided with more powerful motors and will be able to make quicker time be tween Portland and Oregon City. An or der for four more cars has been placed with a San Francisco firm. Measurements for these have been taken, and they will be built at once and sent to Portland. They will be provided with powerful motors also. With these six new pas senger cars it will be possible to inaugu rate the proposed 30-mlnute schedule. "Work is also progressing on the SOO-horse-power freight car. Will Probablt Be Cured. Game Warden Qulmby came down from Rose burg last night, where he went to at tend the trial of Lafe Engles, who was arrested with half a dozen deer horns in his possession, which he was taking to Roseburg to sell. He was tried before a. Justice of the Peace and fined $100. Warden Quimby has been after Engles for a year, but never before could secure evidence sufficient to convict. He Is a man over 50 years of age. runs a small store and postoffice at Peel, Douglas County, and has a number of half-breeds employed In hunting deer for him. Mr. Qulmby thinks the fine put on Engles will cure him of "sucking eggs," and if it does not, he will be arrested again. Services for Bust Men.

The meet ing of the Common Council today will have a lot of routine business to transact, but outside of this there is not likely to be much of Importance to be considered. The street committee, to which was re ferred the matter of vacating a number of streets In Sullivan's Gulch, will prob ably submit a report. Action may be taken on an ordinance authorizing the issuance of $16,000 of Improvement bonds. There are several petitions In asking for the improvement of sections of East Burnside street. It is desired that a short section be improved with vitrified brick, and that other sections be macadamized or planked "Watch and Money Gone. Patrick Col lins, CO years old. alighted from a train last night at the terminal depot and short ly afterward he gave a confused account Policeman Branch that two hackdrlv- ers had held him up, near the depot. and had robbed him of his watch and a small sum of money.

Looking for Homes. The number of visitors calling at the Chamber of Com merce exhibit daily of late Is much larger than usual. Mr. Dosch Fays that there were not less than 100 callers Monday, and that 50 were there at one time, newcom ers from many different states. They looked over the exhibit carefully and with much interest, and were much surprised with the showing of fruits, minerals, etc. Most of them were looking for homes and were here to settle. Some wanted to get Into the fruitgrowing business, others desired to settle in lumbering and dairy ing sections. The latter were recommend ed to examine the coast counties, and others to try Southern Oregon. Many of the visitors went up the Willamette Valley on locators tickets, furnished by the Southern Pacific Company. Some of the strangers spent several hours examin ing the exhibit and evidently concluded that the products of Oregon were finer than anything they had expected to find here. Efficient Catch Basins. City Engin eer Chase had a force of 10 men and two teams at work for some time cleaning the gravel and debris brought down by the first great storm of the season, from the catch basins at the Inlets to the great sewers In Tanner and Johnson Creeks. They had just completed their work and evers'thlng had been put In order when the storm of last Friday brought another mass of gravel, which completely filled the catch basins again, so the work of clean ing them out has to be done over again. This Is a matter of so little consequence compared to having all this gravel car ried down Into the sewer that it cuts no figure, and the taxpayers may congratu late themselves that the Inlets to these large sewers are provided with such effi cient catch basins. Freshets will bring down more or less gravel and debris ev ery year for many years and to protect the sewers It will be necessary for these catch basins to be carefully maintained. Incorporation. Articles of Incorpora tion were filed yesterday for the Congre gation Nevah Zedeck Thalmud Thorah, by a committee consisting of M. Ostrow. Dr. N. Mosessohn, J. Bromberg, J. Rlcen and P. F. Rogoway.

Hcllent of Portland for More Than -15 Youth. Aaron Bushwiler, the pioneer bookblndor of Portland, one of the founders of the Evening Telegram, and for many years Justice of the Peace of North Portland Precinct, died yesterday afternoon, at St. Vincent's Hospital. He had been a victim of afethma for more than 40 years, and suffered many deaths since he was first attacked. Still he kept on his feet, slept In a chair, because his malady would not allow him to lie fiat, and was on the streets yesterday morning, though In high fever. He lived only a few hours after being taken to the Hospital. He was u bachelor, and left no relatives in this part of the country, so far as known. The fu neral will take place from Holman's par lors tomorrow, at 10 A. -M. Mr. Bushwiler was a native of Hesse Darmstadt, came to Portland about 1852 or 1S53 from San Francisco, and was about 75 years old. He was the first book binder, or among the first, to work In Portland. Afterward he was a clerk Jn the wholesale dry goods house of Alex. Mayer & Co. He then became a reporter for the Dally Advertiser, published by S. J. McCormlck. late In the '50s. Among his duties was to cross the river every day and await the stage coming from the south with news. Exposure to the ele ments gave him the asthma, from which he suffered ever afterwards. In 1S75. in connection with W. R. Struble and E. D. Crandall, he founded The Evening Tele gram. He was eeveral times elected Just ice of the Peace for North Portland Pre cinct, and administered the office honestly. For the past few years his support was a legacy from a relative In Europe. He was a kindly-disposed man, a patient sufferer and left no enemies. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Trustees Will "Sot Reply to Scnntor Smith's Letter. State Senator Andrew C. Smith's letter to Secretary Fleischner, of the Chamber of Commerce, in the matter of the per sonnel of the Port of Portland Commis sion, was read at the weekly meeting of the trustees of the chamber yesterday and filed. A reply was not deemed neces sary, and the Incident, so far as the Chamber of Commerce is concerned, is closed. Members of the board of trustees will make an effort to Induce Theodore B. Wilcox and Charles E. Ladd to recon sider their decision not to serve on the new commission. A letter was read from Senator Simon saying he would co-operate with the Ore gon delegation to have Oregon's Interests cared for In geological surveys. Repre sentative Tongue wrote that he would con fer with Director Walcott. of the Geolog ical Survey, and ascertain what can be done for Oregon. Representative Tongue wrote that, in his opinion the proposal for a reduction of postage rates on first-class matter to 1 cent oer ounce would not come before the present session of Congress. The chamber recently joined with th'e Pitts burg Chamber of Commerce in a me morial to Congress in favor of the 1-cent rate. Representative Moody wrote that the persons who desire a reopening of the Skagway, Alaska, townslte case have made no showing to the Secretary of the Interior. Unless they take the proper steps the Secretary will not be able to take favorable action on the memorial for reopening, which have been submitted by Northwestern commercial bodies.

The teams were playing a nine-game series, and last night's victory was the fifth that Multnomah won. The features of the game were the heavy batting of the Mult nomah town and Zan's pitching, while the Y. M. C. A.'s also made several fierce bat ting rallies and distinguished themselves by daring sliding to bases. There was a large attendance In the Multnomah gym nasium, where the game was played, and both nines were well supported by crowd3 of rooters. The make-up of the teams follow: Y. M. C. A. Position. M.

An enthusiastic meeting of the pro moters of the Portland professional base ball team was held last evening at the Commercial Club. It was definitely de cided to enter a team In the Pacific North west League, and since the other teams of Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle are ready for organization, the league project is as sured of being a go. The baseball men also decided to post the ?500 deposit as a guarantee that the Portland team will finish the season, and to send a delegate to the league meeting in Tacoma, Feb ruary 22. with the deposit. At this meet ing, if the other teams mean business, the officers will be elected, and all the machin ery for the Summer season set In motion. The project has been up in the air for the last two weeks, but the promoters now feel confident that the proposed league will be a success. St. Helens vs. Mnltnomnh.

ANSWER TO SENATOR SMITH E. T. Williams, in Reply to ChnrRcs and Intimations. . PORTLAND. Or.. Feb. 19, 1901. To the Editor.) The publication In Monday's Oregonlnn of Dr. Andrew Smith's letter to the Secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, containing erroneous statements and certain insinuations that are equally baseless, all tending to reflect upon my character, makes It proper that I should meet them with an emphatic denial, a brief statement of facts, and complete disproof of the assertions; which latter I am prepared to furnish. Dr. Smith's three charges are: First That private dredging was dr at public expense. Second That contracts were be ing let without being submitted to bid, and Third That supplies were being care lessly purchased of a certain member of the Commission. I not only propose to disprove every one of these. charges, but I hereby further propose that Dr. Smith or any other citizen of this community call on the Tarayers League to make an investigation of the management of the Port of Portland Commission from the time of my appointment as a mem ber of the board, upon my agreement and bond, backed by sufficient sureties, to pay In to the proper authorities any sum of money, be I small or great, that shall prove to have been lost or wasted by malfeasance -or extravagance or care lessness for which I am In any way re sponsible. Meantime I propose to take up each ono of Dr. Smith's charges and answer It. On September 2S, 1S93. before I was a member of the executive committee, tho following resolution was unanimously passed by the Board of the Port of Port land: Resolved, That It Is the declared policy of the board that until It9 further order It shall be the rule that the commission will endeavor to keep the harbor of Portland at a proper depth of water to within HO feet of the docks' front, and will only go beyond that on the request and at the expense ot the owner of each dock, such dredging to be done only at the convenience of this board. The work of Improving the harbor was considered so urgent that bids from pri vate dredging companies were Invited to do this work, but after consideration were rojocted as being considered too high, and It was decided to operate the Commis sion's dredge on the work as long as possible. The dredge worked In the- har bor seven months In all, four and one half months being engaged In work on the East Side from the old dry dock site to the upper end of the O. R. & N. Com pany's warehouses, and one and one half months on the West Sldo directly opposite, frcm the southern line of the Eastern Lumber Company's property northward, and one month on the chan nel from the West Side to the East Side, property owners on both sides receiving direct benefit, the Northern Pacific Lum ber Company among the rest. Y'our editorial this morning suggests that It Is well to "avoid the appearance of evil," and Jt was solely for that pur pose, and because I foresaw that Irre sponsible and unscrupulous politicians would be certain to make capital by at tempting to connect the fact of my mem bership of the Board of Portland Com mission with Mr. Mackay's prominence In politics, and with the joint Interest of Mr. Mackay and myself In the North Pacific Lumber Company, that shortly before the dredge In the course of Its operations reached the property. I made a formal request to the executive com mittee that any work done opposite said property should be charged to the North Pacific Lumber Company. This, although the some work had been done In front of the property of other owners without expense to them In the carrying out of the general scheme of harbor Improve ment, and for no other reason than to "avoid the appearance of evil." The North Pacific Lumber Company, therefore, paid $S23 44, which was the full cost to the Port of Portland for work done In front of the North Pacific Lum ber Company's property, and also in front of the Oregon Pottery Company'."! property to points ISO and 300 feet from the wharf line, as at that time laid down by the United States engineers. I may also add that in 1S9S, before I was even a member of the Commission, the North Pacific Lumber Company paid the sum ! of J2136 0S for the use of the old city dredge In front of their property. Second The charge "that contracts wer being let without being submitted to bid," can best be answered by the clerk of the Commission, whom I have called upon to make a statement of the prac tice of the board In such matters. The same is appended hereto, and it will be observed that this charge has no more foundation In fact than the other. Third "That supplies were being care lessly purchased of a certain member of the Commission," refers, of course, to the purchases that the Port of Portland have made of myself or of the North Pacific Lumber Company since I entered the board, the facts and circumstances being as follows: Shortly after being appointed on the Commission, but previous to my becoming a member of the executive com mittee, I suggested the advisability of trying sawdust, as being a more econom ical fuel than cord wood. The records show that on July 13, 1SS9. Mr. Ellis G. Hughes, being then on the executive committee, moved that the executive com mittee be directed to make the experiment above referrd to. which was done under the supervision of the newly elected ex ecutive committee, consisting of the president (Mr. Wilcox), Captain Brown, and myself. The sawdust was supplied by the North Pacific Lumber Company, because at that time there was no saw dust obtainable from any other mill in town, for the reason that it was all un der contract, except so far as used for their own purposes In firing, and It was furnished at a price lower than that paid by the Portland Flouring Mills during a long period, and less than that charged to private citizens. The report of the president stated that there was a large, saving, amounting to 75 per cent. In the use of sawdust at the price furnished, ns against the use of cordwood, so that instead of the city's suffering a loss by reason of "supplies being carelessly pur chased of a certain member of the Com mission," as stated by Dr. Smith, it ap pears upon the testimony of Mr. Theo dore B. Wilcox, that the purchnse made of the company. In which "the most ob jectionable ring member of the Port of Portland Commission" Is Interested, re sulted In an actual saving to the city. It is perhaps proper to mention that dur ing the last six weeks, owing to the in ability of the North Pacific Lumber Com pany to supply the sawdust on account of repairs to their mill, the Port of Port land has been unable to purchase any supply of that article from anyone, and has been burning cordwood and slab wood at an Increased cost of over 5300 per month. Now, Mr. Editor, In order to forestall the criticism that will undoubtedly be made upon this letter, viz.. that It con sists largely of personal statements un supported by evidence. I beg to say that the truth or falseness of every state ment therein contained can be ascertained by consulting the records of the Port of Portland Commission; besides which I re Iterate the offer to execute a sufficient bond to make good any loss that the city may have suffered by my malfeasance or extravagance or ignorance, and I re spectfully submit that Dr. Smith should either prove his statements and cause the return to the city of the money that he says has teen squandered, or withdraw them with proper apologies; otherwise he must stand convicted of making an un warrantable attack upon the character of a fellow citizen and uttering false charges against him. Yours truly, E. T. WILLIAMS. PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 19. To E. T. Williams, Vice-President Port of Portland, City. Dear Sir: In response to your Inquiry, I have to say that no contracts have been let by the board or executive committee without bids having been received, and that no contract for any fixed tlme has ever been entered Into with the North Pacific Lumber Company for the supply of fuel or anything else. The amounts paid the North Pacific Lumber Company by the Port of Port land since October 1. 1839. up to the present time, are as follows: For fuel, 53113 S9; for lumber at different times, $378 C3; for towage, $95. Of this last Item $C0 was paid the Port of Portland by Mc Dowell & Co., and neld out again to the North Pacific Lumber Company. Yours respectfully, E. T. C. STEVENS. Clerk of tho Board.
