TO SETTLE OUT OF COURT
JUDGE BELLINGER SO ADVISES
LYTLE AND O'REILLY.
lie Declared the Transaction Be-
tvrecn Columbia Sonthern and
Hammond to Have Been Fraud.
The time of the United States Court
was taken up yesterday with hearing the
closing argument in the case of Altschul
et al. vs. the Columbia Southern Rail
way Company et al., by Thomas O'Day
and C. E. S. Wood. Judge Bellinger ex
tending the afternoon session until 4:45
o'clock In order to give them time to get
through. At the conclusion of counsels'
argument. Judge Bellinger gave his view
of the case. He said in effect that the
method by which Mr. Lytle, the president
of the company, took a very large sum of
Its money, namely, selling its right of way,
he had previously received for himself,
could not be countenanced, and that the
contract he caused the company to make
with Its own chief engineer, Mr. Ham
mond, to effect this abstraction of money,
was a fraud too plain for argument; that
these suits now pending against O'Reilly
In the state courts for an unpaid assess
ment, and for the restoration of money
alleged to have formerly been taken by
O'Reilly and Lytle from the Company,
were palpably schemes to oppress O'Reilly
and freeze him out of the corporation;
that the stock was paid up and the assess
ment in It was Invalid. He questioned
whether Altschul and Rambaut could call
for redress of these grievances.
The court wanted no further argument
on the facts, but was not at all sure
about the law. and this point he would
take under advisement. His doubt was
what his powers were under the circum
stances, and whether a receivership of the
corporation was necessary to redress these
frauds, or whether the trouble could be
reached by less drastic methods. To this
point he wished counsel to address them
selves when they submitted briefs. The
court then said that he could not take
the matter Into consideration until his
return from Puget Sound. Meanwhile hp
would suggest that the parties settle their
difficulties out of court.
German Skip Rclcnncil.
The German Consul, C. von Wlntzln
gerode, yesterday filed a protest in the
United States Court against the court
taking jurisdiction in the matter of the
libel of the German ship Peter Rlckmers'
sailors, who deserted from her. The Con
sul set up that the Ubellants signed and
enlisted on the ship to be discharged in
an American port on the Atlantic Coast
or in a North European harbor. The ves
sel went from New York to Hong Kong,
and thence to this city, under charter to
load here, and has not since visited any
port on the Atlantic Coast of America or
in North Europe. After arriving at As
toria the Ubellants deserted without cause,
in violation of their contract. It Is fur
ther alleged that a large portion of tha
wages claimed by Ubellants has been paid.
Consul WIntzlngerode then quotes from
the treaty between Germany and the
United Stales to show that he has exclu
sive jurisdiction in such cases, and pro

tests against the court assuming jurisdic
tion, and asks that the libel be dismissed.
Judge Bellinger was inclined to believe
that he had no jurisdiction in the case
but desired to hear counsel's Ideas on the
matter. He said the libel should have
been brought before the ship was ready
to sail, and it would be an Injustice to
detain her in port; still, the sailors were
entitled to a, hearing, either before him
self or the German Consul. He would re
quire the ship to give a bond In $500. so
that she might proceed to Astoria at once.
Testimony In the case could be taken be
fore the German Consul, and he would
consider the matter later. The Rlckmers
was released and started down the river
yesterday.

SUPPLIES FOR COUNTY
BIDS WILL BE ASKED FOR. POOR
FARM NECESSITIES.
Nctt Lair Relative to Advertising
Xow in Effect Discission Over
Emergency Wants.
County Clerk H. H. Holmes was en
gaged yesterday in preparing- advertise
ments for bids to furnish the county -with
supplies for the Poor Farm and hoslptal,
the three bridges and Alblna ferry, and
one of the road districts. Requisitions
from the remaining road districts had not
yet been received. The Drlscoll bill passed
by the Legislature and which Is now a
law. prpvldes that no contract shall be
entered Into by the county authorities ex
cept after public bidding. The county'of
flclals have Interpreted the law to mean
that not even a paper of pins, or a pur
chase of any kind can be made except un
der a contract duly advertised for and
let. A reading of the bill, however, does
not denote that such Is the purpose Intend
ed. Within the past few years there has
been more or less comment that the
County Commissioners gave out consider
able work connected with bridges and
other public affairs, without first receiv
ing bids, although In some Instances bids
were obtained and the printing of bal
lots and other county printing has also
been let without bids. The latest exam
ple of this kind Is the repairs now being
done to the Morrison-street bridge. It was
especially this class of cases that the pro
moters of the act contemplated reaching,
and In the beginning the bill read "con
tracts of $500 or over." Some one, how
ever, decided that the act with this limi
tation was not sufficiently far reaching,
and the limitation was stricken out, and
the bllL as it passed was as follows:
In the counties of 50.000 or more population,
no contract shall be entered Into by any
County Court, or by any Board or County
Commissioners, for any public works, or the
purchase of any supplies or materials, until
alter bids have been submitted to the County
Court, or the Board of County Commissioners,
upon specifications therefor. Such speclnca
tlons shall be In- writing, and shall be filed
with the County Clerk or Clerk of the County
Court, for public Inspection, and an adver
tisement thereof, statins the date after which
bids will not be received, the character of the
work to be done or material or things to be
purchased, and that specifications therefor may
be seen at the office of the County Clerk, or
Clerk of the County Court, shall be published
In a newspaper of general circulation in the
county Interested. Such advertisement shall
be published not less than one week, and as
many additional publications as shall be deter
mined by the County Court or Board of County
Commissioners, and the time within which bids
shall be received shall not be less than five days
after the last publication. Such bids shall be
filed with the said Clerk, and shall be opened
In the presence of the bidders on the date
named therefor In said advertisement, and after
having been opened shall be filed for public
Inspection. The contract for doing- said work
or furnishing: said materials shall be awarded
as provided In the next section.
The following section provides that all
bids made to the county for supplies or
work, etc., shall be opened in the presence
of the bidders by each public officer en
titled to let contracts, or by the County
Court or Commissioners, which person or
court, or Board of County Commissioners,
or a majority of them, shall awacd the
contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
The contract shall be approved by the
District Attorney, and a bond in double
the amount shall be filed with County
Clerk. Each bidder must accompany his
bid with a certified check for 10 per cent

of the amount of the bid. It Is further
provided:
All warrants drawn In pursuance of any con
tract for public work or the purchase of any
supplies or material, unless upon public bid
dins therefor, as hereinbefore directed, shall
be void and unenforceable, whether In the
hands of Innocent third parties or otherwise.
The emergency clause states: "Inasmuch
as there Is no prescribed proceeding for
the letting of contracts, for which reason
uncertainty and confusion exists, resulting
In loss In letting of public work, the act
shall take effect from and after its ap
proval by the Governor."
As previously stated, it will hardly be
urged by anybody that under this law the
county authorities are prohibited from
making small, necessary and emergent
purchases except by contract, or that such
a thing Is intended by the law. It is im
probable that any one will seriously con
tend that a few boxes of matches for use
by the Courthouse janitors, a new broom
or a water pall, or a bottle of medicine
for a prisoner at the County Jail, cannot
be bought except by contract. The law
provides that "no contract shall be en
tered into," etc. As a matter of fact "to
bargain, or to contract a debt," no mat
ter how small, is a contract, but It would
merely be -splitting hairs to construe the
law in this rigid sense. The new law
does not say that "no supplies shall be
purchased except by contract." If it did
there would be no mistake as to Its pur
port. The object of law Is not to obstruct
and every statute is subject to a reason
able common-sense understanding of Its
terms. Wharton, one of the ablest rec
ognized legal authorities, defines contracts
in law as follows r
The agreement of two or more persons, upon
a sufficient consideration or cause, to do or to
abstain from doing some act; an agreement by
in which a party undertakes to do. or not to
do. a particular thing; a formal bargain; a
c6mpact; an interchange of legal rights.
A formal writing which contains the agree
ment of parties, with the terms and conditions,
and which seems as a proof of the obligation.
LARGER RECEIPTS FROM FEES
Sew Lott Increases Earnlngi of the
Recorder's Office.
The receipts in the office of the County
Recorder have been quite large recently,
reaching as high as $G4 one day this week!
A JCOOO mortgage brought in J37 in fees,
and another day a $500,009 mortgage real
ized fees amounting to $16. A law passed
by the Legislature, Introduced by Repre
sentative Heltkemper, will serve to In
crease the receipts of the office, as It pro
vides that chattel mortgages must be re
corded in full, and acknowledged the same
as a real estate mortgage. The cost is 10
cents per folio, and t5 cents for the cer
tificate of the Recorder. Under the old
law chattel mortgages were merely filed
and the charge was 50 cents. The average
cost under the new statute will be $1 50.
and Ions mortgages will run up to $2 50
and over. A chattel mortgage is now re
quired to be signed, witnessed und ac
knowledged. The chattel mortgage bro
kers In the past have used very lengthy
forms, but bo save fees under the present
per folio system these may be modified.
In order to protect wthe holders of filed
chattel mortgages all-valid chattel mort
gages at the time of the effect or the new
law are kept alive without any refiling or
affidavit. This does not apply to chattel
mortgages that have been filed and have
passed the law limitation of a year.
The new fee bill affects the Recorder's
office in a few particulars, and the new
scale of fees has been charged since the
first of the month. A horseshoers' Hen is
now 50 cents, whereas it was 25 cents be
fore; 'everything filed is 50-cents; marginal

"World Fnmoui Artists Dellsht a
Critical Audience.
The recital given by Mr. and Mrs.
Georr Henschel at the Marquam last
night more than fulfilled the great ex
pectations which had been built on the
news of their coming. Every number
of the long and varied programme
brought forth storms of applause and
twice the artists were compelled to re
spond to the most enthusiastic of en
cores. The audience, which was large,
was one of the most critical ever assem
bled at the Marquam, but it came not to
criticise but to enjoy.
The programme began with duets from
Mehul'3 "Joseph" and Gretty's "Richard
Coeur de Lion," which were given with
the supreme art which has made this
wonderful pair of artists famous. Mrs.
Henschel's first number was the exquis
ite aria from Semele, "Oh Sleep." which
she sang with such a power of expres
sion and technical perfection as com
pletely to captivate her hearers. It was
followed with Purcel's "Nymphs and
Shepherds," and the dainty and delight
ful Cornish song, "Where Be Goln'."
Mr. Henschel's magnificent singing of
"Wait Thou Still " delighted, his auditors
to a degree of enthusiasm scarcely to be
expressed in applause, but his "Das Wan
dern," from Schubert's "Muehlerlleder,"
received the greatest ovation of the even
ing. The wonderful power with which
he clothed his own composition, "Young
Dledrlch," and the Erl-KIng again awak
ened his hearers to rapture, and It was
with difficulty that they could be per
suaded to subside. Another of Mr. Hen
schel's compositions was old Thomas
Nash's "Spring," which was delightfully
sung by his wife, and "No More," to
which Mrs. Henschel Imparted a charm
ing sentiment.
The programme was generously long,
but still left the audience unsatisfied,
and at its close they remained In their
seats and clamored hungrily for just
one more number, which owing to the
length and difficulty of the programme
could not be granted them.
Mr. Henschel's playing of the accom
paniments was, of course, artistic in the
extreme, his masters' of the piano being
readily comparable with that of the fa
mous living pianists. Particularly beau
tiful was his arrangement of "Das Wan
dern," and his playing of "Die Erl-King."
By a special arrangement a return con
cert has been made possible and it will
be given at the Marquam Wednesday
night.

CASE OF THE KINTUCK.
Portlnnd Is Entitled to FnrnliU All
the Transport's Supplies.
Major J. AV. Jacobs, of the United
Stajtes Quartermaster's Department, said
yesterday 'that there is no truth In the
report that Portland will be ignored In the
purchase of supplies for the transport Kin
tuck, which Is to load animals here for
Manila. He added: "The subsistence and
veterinary, as well ae miscellaneous sup
plies for the KIntuck, are now being
bought In Portland, and will be ready for
her when she arrives, about March 16.
Eight hundred and fifteen horses have
been bought for her, and she will carry
400,000 pounds of hay, and about 300,000
pounds of miscellaneous supplies, all
bought In Portland."
The protest of President Hahn. of the
Chamber of Commerce, In the matter of
the Kintuck, was based upon truatworthy
advice that the transport would be held
at Seattle until Major Jacobs needed her
at Portland, and that meanwhile she
would be fitted for her voyage. It took
hard work on the part of General Beebe
with the War Department to get the Kin
tuck ordered here, and the business men
of Portland think that they are entitled
to furnish all the supplies. Including hal
ters and blankets for the animals, and
tools, and to do the repairing and painting
of the vessel. The 400,000 pounds of hay
