STREET ' CASE DECIDED
ASSESSMENT OP ARUTTIXG PROP
ERTY HELD TO BE VALID.
Supreme Ccmrt' Ruling: Wtticn May
Have Benrlnc on Portland's
Method of Improvement.
The Supreme Court of the United States
rendered a decision on April 23 which has
some bearing on the recent ruling of
Judge Bellinger that the Portland method
of assessing for street Improvements Is
unconstitutional. Judge Bellinger followed
the Federal Supreme Court In the case
of Nqrwood vs. Baker, which holds that
ai assessment for an improvement with
out considering the question of specified
benefits is taking property without due
process, of law. It is not clear from the
brief summary of the -decision of April
29 which has come to hand -that the
United States Supreme Court has reversed
the Norwood decision, and consequently
Judge Bellinger's decision. The case de
cided was" that of John L. Shumate vs.
August Heman. an appeal from St. Louis,
Mo: Half a dozen other cases from as
many cities were pooled with the Shu
mate case. All involved the - right of
municipal authorities to levy assessments
on abutting property. The Supreme Court
afllrms-.such right.
The attention of City Attorney Long
was called yesterday to the Shumate de
cision. Mr. Long was not certain that
the ruling covered the point raised in
Portland. Under" the circumstances, he
considered it his duty to proceed to "Wash
ington and ask the Supreme Court to ad
vance the case of King vs. the City of
Portland which involves the validity of
the present method of making assess
ments. He left last night.
Justice Shlras?, who wrote the opinion
of the United .Slates. Supreme , Court in
the Shumate case, concludes that what is
complained of by the plaintiff In error
was an orderly procedure under a scheme
of local Improvement prescribed by the
Legislature and approved by the courts
of the state as consistent with Constitu
tional principles. The judgment of the
Supreme Court of Missouri is affirmed.
It may be conceded. Justice Shlras holds,
that courts of equity are always open
to afford a. remedy where there is an
Attempt under the guise of legal proceed
ings to deprive a person of his life, lib
erty or property without due process of
law. The vourt holds that no such state
of fact is presented in this case.
The decision cites a large number of
cases "In which the principles on which
special taxes for public improvements are
based.
"It will be sufficient," continued Justice
Shlras. ""to state the conclusions reached
by two text-writers of high authority
for learning and accuracy!
"The major part of the cost of a local
work is sometimes collected by general
tax, while a smaller portion Is levied upon
the .estate specially benefited. The major
part Is sometimes assesed on estates ben
efited, while the general public is taxed
i smaller portion in consideration of a
smaller participation in the benefits. The
whole cost In other cases is levied on
lands In the immediate vicinity of the
work.
"l3X a. Constitutional point of view,
tlther of the methods Is admissible, and
ane may sometimes be ju6t and another
it other times. In other cases It may be
Seemed reasonable to make the whole cost
i general .charge, and levy no special as
tessment .whatever. The question is leg-
-islative. .and. like all legislative ques
tions, mar be decided erroneously: but it
lis reasonable to expect that, with each
latitude ofr choice, the tax will be more
lUsf and equal than It would be were the
Legislature- required to levy It by one
nflexible and arbitrary rule. (Cooley on
luxation.)
"The courts are very generally agreed
3iat the authority to require the property
tpedally benefited to bear the expense
if local Improvements Is & branch of the
taxing power, or Included within it
Whether the expense of making such im
provements shall be paid out of the gen
eral treasury, or be assessed upon the
ibuitlng or other property specially bene
Stefl. and! IT In the latter mode, whether
the assessment shall be upon all prop
irty found to be benefited, -or alone upon
ihe abutters, according to frontage or ac
jordlng to the. urea of their lo'ts, Is ac
cording to the present weight of author-
ty considered" to be a question of legis
tattve expediency." (Dillon's Municipal
Corporations).

depended very largely upon a decision of
the United States Supreme Court in the
case of Norwood vs. Baker. That de
cision was quoted repeatedly by the coun
sel of various property-owners. It was
claimed by them to establish the prin
ciple that the cost of a local government
cannot be assessed against abutting prop
erty, according to frontage, unless the
law under which the Improvement Is made
provides for a preliminary hearing as to
the benefits to be derived by the prop
erty to be assessed. Justice Shlras,
speaking for the majority of the bench,
says:
"But we agree with the Supreme Court
of Missouri in its view that such is not
the necessary legal Import of the de
cision In Norwood vs. Baker. That was a
case whereby a village ordinance, appar
ently aimed at a single person, a portion
of whose property was condemned for a
street, the entire cost of opening the
street, including not only the full amount
paid for the strip condemned, but the
costs and expenses of the condemnation
proceedings, was thrown upon the abut
ting property of the person whose land
was condemned. This appeared, both to
the court below and to a majority of the
Judges of this court, to be an abuse of
the law. an act of confiscation, and not a
valid exercise of the taxing power. This
court, however, did not affirm the de
cree of. the trial court, awarding a per
petual Injunction against the makinsr and
collection of any special assessments upon
jars, isaner s. property."
Among the cases In which the Supreme
Court .sustained the right to levy special
taxes was one for asphalt-paving In Kan
sas City. The style of the case was Mar
garet French et - al. -plaintiffs in error,
vs. the Barber' Paving Company. This
was a suit instituted in the Circuit Court
by the paving company to collect tax
bills issued against Manraret French nnrt
others, owners of lots abutting on Forest
avenue, which had been paved. The de
cision sustains the Supreme Court of Mis
souri in declaring the right under the
charter of Kansas City to authorise-pav
ing Jim to issue special tax bills for it.
Against the decision of the court sus
taining the special tax bills in the various
cases. Justices Harlan, McKenna and
White dissented.
City Attorney Long made the following
statement:
"The Shumate case lays down the same
principle as the case of Poulsen vs. Port
land (149 U. S.). affirming the decision of
the Supreme Court of Oregon. The case
of French vs. Barber is a street assess
ment case. The law of Missouri, under
which the assessment was made, makes
the assessment prima facie evidence of
the validity of the tax lien. Such lien
can be enforced only by suit In a court
against the owners of the land. The
right Is expressly conferred on the owner
of reducing the amount of the recovery
by pleading and proving any mistake or
error In the amount of the bill. The case
was tried out under the allegation that
the method of apportionment violates the
Federal Constitution, and in conflict with
the case of Norwood vs. Baker.
"The particular question presented for
considc-ation in French vs. Barber was
as to whether such an assessment undei
such a law was void. The Supreme Court
of Missouri distinguished Norwood vs.
Baker rnd sustained the validity of the
assessment upon the ground that the op
portunity to be heard in the suit to en
force the tax bill was due process of law,
and that French was without ground of
complaint.
"The courts say In the Shumate case:
'But It Is reasonable to expect that with
each latitude of choice, the tax will be
more Just and equal than it would be
were the Legislature required to levy
It by one Inflexible and arbitrary rule."
This Is the exact point raised by Judge
Pipes in King vs. Portland, and was the
point raised by the attorneys for the
plaintiff In Ross vs. Portland, decided, by
Judge Bellinger, that the rule established
by the Legislature of this state Is Inflex
ible and arbitrary, there being no pro
vision as in the Missouri case for dis
puting or litigating the question of bene
fit." Attorney M. L. Pipes, who represents
the plaintiff in the case of King vs. Port
land, when shown the dispatch, stated
that he had nothing to say further than
that the Shumate case did not cover the
points Involved in his case.

CHURCH FUND COMPLETE
PRESBYTERIANS OF PORTLAND
1 SUBSCRIBE 916,150.
St. Mark's . Episcopal Church,' Free
of Debt, Holds Thanks
giving Service.
"
The Presbyterians of Portland have suc
ceeded in raising $1G,150 for church work,
the appeal for which was made at the
banquet in the lecture-room of the First
Presbyterian Church Friday night.
About $11,700 was raised at the . ban
quet towards the reduction of the $16,150,
and Saturday the subscriptions came
pouring In until $3000 more was added.
Yesterday morning, at the First Presby
terian Church, Dr. Hill referred to the
effort to raise the fund and expressed
the hope that the full amount would be
subscribed before his departure for the
general assembly. He appealed for a
morning offering of $550. After the en
velopes had been passed and counted it
was found that the congregation had sub
scribed $675, or' $125 more than the sum
asked by Dr. Hill.
In addition to the sutris they have al
ready subscribed, the members of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, under the leader
ship of Rev. W. S. Gilbert, with the
help of the East Side Presbyterians, have
assured the completion of the fund.

St.
Mark's Eniscrfnal Church Holds
Thanksgiving: Service.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church held a
thanksgiving service yesterday morning
for the raising of the church debt of
$1920, which has been done within the
past two weeks. The rector, Rev. J. E.
Simpson, preached from the text: "This
is fee Lord's doing and it is marvelous
lr our eyes," St. Matthew, xxi:42. He
said in part:
"I am sure that most of the people of
this congregation feel that a wonderful
thing has come to pass. If, the Sunday
before -last, some one had told., us, 'In
two "weeks ttie wliole amount 'of your
mortgage and other Indebtedness will be
subscribed, and over $260 of it paid into the
hands of the treasurer,' we should not
have believed him. We should have
looked upon such an achievement as ut
terly improbable, if not absolutely Im
possible. And yet this thing has been
flone. The sum of $1929, in addition to
the current expenses-of the congregation,
has been pledged to be paid within the
year, and pledged for the most part by
our own people. How is this thing to be
accounted for? There is just one answer
to the question: The spirit of God came
upon this parish and put it into our hearts
to do that which hitherto we deemea
Impossible. :
"My brethren, I believe this. I believe
God. In his merciful kindness, .has given
us a signal manifestation of his presence
with us. I can only utter the words of
our text as giving us the explanation of
what has -happened, and say, 'This is the
Lord's doing, and It is marvelous in our
eyes.' "

FARM MAY NOT BE SOLD.
Many Odd Fello-jva in Favor of Keep
ing: Cleone Property.
Among Portland Odd Fellows there is
difference of opinion as to the advisabil
ity of selling the farm at' Cleone. Al
though the trustees of the Orphans' Home
were authorized to dispose of the place
for not less than $5000, it has not been
sold. The trustees have purchased the
Riley property, consisting of a large house
and seyen acres on the East Side, for a
Home, and it will be turned over to the
grand, lodge at the session at Baker City,
May 22. At that time will come up the
question of the support of this home.
KThe rooms will be furnished largely by
tne Kebekah degree lodges of the state,
many of which have started to raise
funds. Quite a number of Odd Fellows
have come to the conclusion that the in
come from the Cleone farm would help
maintain, the home. It amounts to $250'
per year, and the land has Increased in
value. Many Oda Fellows believe that the
farm is poorly located, the land non
productive, and that It should be disposed
of as .soon as possible. G. R. -Matthews,
of the- East Slde, who visited the farm
the other day, says it is one of the finest
in thestate There will be considerable
opposltionin the grand lodge to selling
the farm. The large building put up on
the "ground for a Home will probably be
disposed of. however. Some parties have
been trying to get a price set on it. They
want it for a composite grist mill at

GOOD AMATEUR PLAYING
FONTELLAS WON FIRST GAME OF
THE NEW LEAGUE.
Stephens Clnb Dazzled by Meteoric
Batting: and Hish-Colored
Maroon Uniforms.
The Stephens Athletic Club ball tossers
were overcome by the meteoric batting
and dazzling appearance of the Fontel
la team yesterday, and went up into
the air with a ecore of 15 to 2. The Fon
tellas were clad in suits of maroon, not
an ordinary subdued maroon, but one
the redness of which made every member
of the nine loom up on the diamond like
the flare of the traditiona.1 burning
house. The players looked big. Not a
ball was lined to the outfield by the
Stephens' batters that one of the red
figures did not pinch. The Stephens
players 'were nice, modeet boys, in neat
suits of gray. The only1 surprise which
they counted on springing on the public
was their brilliant crimson stockings,"
which offset the quiet, impression made
by the rest of their costume. But the
crimson stockings were outshone by the
gorgeous uniforms of the Fontellas, and
the surprise was not sprung.
well, anyway, jr. we lost the game.
suits
are tne nicest, said one
of
the disconsolate Stephens players..
"Yes, but you, hear ours farther," said
a Fontella.
The game was the opening of the
series of the Pacific Amateur Baseball
League, which has been formed by the
Fontellas, and Stephens Athletic Club, of
Portland, the Jolly Good Fellows, of Ore
gon City, and the Vancouver Athletic
Club. Five hundred spectators gathered
at the professional grounds, at Twenty
fourth apd Vaughn streets, to witness the
play, jid among them were many of the
prominent fans of the city. They .sat
perfectly content in the new grandstand,
breathing the fine air, and basking in the
sunshine, ready to yell at any good play
made by either side. And there were
some, too. Fleming, for the Fontellas.
pitched a fine, steady game, scattering
the hits, fielding his position w.ell, and
sending out a bice drive to center. Shea
caught a good game and all kinds of
fouls. Siebels, for the Stephens team,
was wild, although possessing excellent
speed and , several seductive curves.
There were three double plays. " The
first was in' the third-Inning. Archie
Parrott had just scored Fay by a well-
placed hit to right, and had stolen
second, when his tall brother
Rich flew out to French, in right field,
who returned the ball In time for second
Baseman McNeeley to catch the other Par;
rott. Siebels ' fielded a hot grounder of
Flemings in the fourth, Second Baseman
Townsend putting out Shea and sending
the ball to First Baseman Caffey to
cut off Fleming. The closing play of the
game- was a double. Patterson, of the
n M
Stephens nine made a hit, stole second. , enjoyed by 53 members. BesidSs the pleas
and was leading toward third. Ray flew 1 flnt f-atrM nf ty, trin ttm't,,,,
out to A. Parrott. who assisted Austin to 1
put out Patterson.
The Fontellas took the lead in run-
getting at the start, sqorlng Black, Fay
and Parrott, the three men leading the
batting order. After that the game was
simply -a walk-a-way for the Fontellas.
The monotony of hearing Umpire Joe
Stutt call out "St-r-r-lke," when Fleming
was In the box, was varied by the-rapidity
with which the Stephens nine leaped
Into the air and handed the outfielders
nice easy high ones as a" reminder that
they were in the baseball game, and not
sentinels stationed to keep the Horde
of small boys from climbing over the
high-board fence.
In the fourth the fans felt a ripple of
,it,t nr thpm. Th ynihtv
Ray, of Monogram and Torpedo fame,
appeared on the field with the Stephens
i. wo tnni tn thA hnt in th fifth
and the Stephens supporters cheered.
Now they said Fleming would face a
'batter that was a slogger.
"Hit 'er out, now Ray, me darllnt,"
called out a voice in a rich, mellow
brogue. ,rT haye an eye like a shinln'

"Supposing Ray strikes out like Casey
at the bat," yelled out a fan with oppo
site sympathies.
Ray stepped to the plate like a veteran.
'Fleming sent over a ball that floated
up like a toy balloon In the bands of a
vender on the Fourth of July. Rajr saw
It coming. He drew his bat back and
met it with all the delight of a long
lost friend. The hit was a peach. Out

gently down to a safe spot, out of reach

TORTURING A LITTLE FROG
Some Thinsa That Science Is Not
Called Upon to Demonstrate.
In one of the show-cases in the City
Museum is a llylng ffrog hermetically
sealed In a fruit-Jar. An. explanatory note
states that the frog was imprisoned and
sealed in this living tomb on April 2,
1901. There Is mud and water in the Jai
in which some kind of a plant is grow
ing or trying to grow. The note further
kexplalns that the. frog gives off carbonic
"acid gass," necessary for the life of
the plant and the plant gives off "oxlgen"
gas necessary to the life of the frog,
the whole being a sort of co-operative af
fair. It is further related that no Hu
mane Society need apply as the frog ha?
dedicated hl3 life to science. Now, while
it Is true that plants require carbonic
gas, and frogs as well as all other ani
mals, require oxygen, this does not afford
any excuse for sealing the unfortunate
little froff In a living tomb, nor Is it
true that he has dedicated his life to
science. The wretched little creature re
quires other things besides oxygen, and
his living shut up where he can have no
comfort or pleasure in life smacks very
much of cruelty to animals. If there
was any important fact In. science to be
demonstrated, the dedicating of the life
of this small frog to science might' be
tolerated, but as matters stand there
seems to be no excuse for it. When it
is considered that eight-ninths by
weight of the ocean and all the water
In the worjd consists of oxygen, and that
it forms probably one-half by weight of
the entire solid crust of the globe, and
that plants are supplied by nature with
all the carbonic acjd they require, the
cruelty of Imprisoning the little frog for
life 13 evident. Unless some better rea
son than that furnished In the note men
tioned can be given for this cruelty-. It
Is advisable for Mr. Hawkins, the custo
dian of the museum, to restore the frog
to liberty.
