PUTTING BIDS IN A BOX.'
One Street Contractor Dissatisfied
With, the aiodn Operandi.
The locked tin box used at the City Au
ditor's -office to receive bids-on street and
sewer work used to sit on the counter,
and coritractors used to push their bids
through the slit into the box ,at their
leisure. For the last four years the box
has been kept In a drawer under the
counter, and contractors have not been
allowed to handle it. but have- handed
their bids to one of the deputies In the
office, who placed it in the box in sight
of the person handing if in, and the box
was unlocked when the time for opening
the bids arrived before the officials who
were to open them. The reason for thus
guarding the box is that contractors, when
depositing their bids used to shake the
box to see If there were other bids In
It, and when, as sometimes happened,
there were none, the contractor who had
discovered this fact would retire and keep
watch of the box until the time for put
ting in bids was about to expire, and then
would increase his bid and deposit It,
thus perhaps securing a higher price for
the work.
An attempt is being made to create a
rumpus over this style of depositing bids.
A contractor who wished to put in a
bid on the Beech-street sewer contract a
few days ago alleges that he was pre
vented from doing so, and now intimates
that he will contest the award of the
contract to the lowest bidder. The offi
cials Indignantly repudiate his allega
tions and "defy the alligator." They say
that when this contractor presented his
bid a "deputy offered to put it In the box
for him, but that he said he wished to
put it In the box himself, and that he
was given an opportunity to do so, but,
was not allowed to handle the box, where-'
upon he, went away and made complaint
that he' was not allowed to put in his
bldL The trouble about the matter is not
Hkelyto amount to anything seriou.. The
lowest bidder is "inclined to look upon It as
a scheme to Induce hlifa to make a com-
promise, which he has no intention of
doing.-

Fromadvlces received from Astoria the
baseball game scheduled to be played
there tomorrow between the Elke' base
ball team, of "Portland, and the Elks'
baseball team, of Astoria, promises to be
an affair that probably nearly all of
Astoria will witness. The Elks of Astoria
are running wild through the woods, up
hill and down dale, bellowing themselves
hoarse, shouting for all to attend the
game. Captain Hennesey says" that his
team will trim the antlers of the Astoria

says that if all goes well, the Portland
boys will 'be "sorry that they ever crossed
bats with boys at the City by the Sea.

WILL NOT GO A-BEGGIKG.
Investors 'FlRrnrlnsr on Baying "Wolff
& ZvrlcUer Plant.
It is not at all likely that the Wolff &
Zwlcker Iron plant will go begging when
it Is put up at auction to close out the
proceedings in bankruptcy. Portland and
Eastern capitalists are figuring on buying
it and there may be some lively bidding.
Harrison G. Piatt, who has been elected
trustee in bankruptcy for the creditors, is
making an inventory of the property.
When he has everything in shape he will
advertise the sale In Eastern engineering
and machinery publications and give the
widest publication to the notice at home
and abroad. Whether the assets of the
company will equal the liabilities will
depend upon the price which will be
realized at the sale. The disposition of
the plant after It passes out of the hands
of Trustee Piatt rests with the new
owners. It is said that one person who
will bid, will, if he is successful, move
the works to the vicinity o St. John's.
The present site on the south side of tho
Madison-street bridge on the east bank
of the Willamette has advantages end
disadvantages. The land is valuable for
purposes other than iron works, so tMte
new owners will not be out much by
moving the plant to a new location.
" T
IN THE SEVERAICOURTS.
Father Explains Hott He Wai Bnped
by Ilia Son Coart No'tea. "
Frank Drucks, 79 years old. explained
in Judge George's Court yesterday morn
ing how his son, Frank "Drucks, Jr.,
fraudulently obtained from him a deed for
a house and lot In Portland. The court
rendered a decree canceling the deed, and
restoring -fhe property to the old man.
Mr. Drucks testified that It was his
Intention to divide his property equally
among his four children, but that his son
Frank learned of this, and decided to
thwart him. Frank plied him with In
toxicating Mlquor and pursuaded him to
make a trip to the business part of the
city, where, believing he was signing
other papers, Mr. Drucks said he signed
the deed. The son then left Portland,
and has not Wen heard of since. Mr.
Drucks further stated that he afterwards
ascertained how he had been deceived,
and consequently filed this suit.
Record-Breaker as to Time.
The divorce suit of Florence Evans
against Dudley Evans Is a record-breaker.
Yesterday was the seventh day of the
DEBATERS
trial, and 45 witnesses have been called
and examined. A divorce trial of three or
four days' duration is the longest previous
one in the recollection of Courthouse at
taches. The controversy is for the pos
session of the children. Evans has called
witnesses in an attempt to prove that
his wife drank to excess on several occa
sions, and she, In turn, introduced evi
dence to show that she was not under
the Influence of liquor at the times re
ferred to. The mother of Dudley Evans
testified that she and her husband would
provide for the children, should the court
in its wisdom decree that her son is
the proper person, to be Intrusted with
their guardianship.
For Holding Up a Letter.
The case of H. W. Rlddell, formerly
Postmaster at The Dalles, charged with
holding up a letter mailed at his office,
came up for a second trial in the United
States Court yesterday. Rlddell was tried
at the last term of. court, but the jury
failed to agree upon a verdict. It is
charged that a letter written by a man
to the holder of a mortgage on the prop
erty of himself and wife, asking for an
extension of time or some other arrange
ment in regard to the payment of the
mortgage, was mailed In The Dalles post
office, and that Rlddell, having some per
sonal Interest In having the mortgage
foreclosed, held the letter, which was
found In his desk several months after.
Through this action It is alleged the
mortgage was foreclosed and the old
couple lost their property. The trial will
probably be concluded today.
Snlt for Commission.
George W. McCoy yesterday began suit
against Mrs. Laura A. Thomas In the
State Circuit Court to compel the spe
cific performance of a contract for the
sale of "the Eureka Lodging-house, on
North Seventh street. If this cannot be
done, he asks to recover ?125. McCoy
avers that Mrs. Thomas agreed with him
in writing that she would sell the place
for 5500, and pay him 5 per cent if he
found a buyer. He secured a purchaser
from whom he obtained $600, and he says
Mrs. Thomas refused to sell. McCoy al
leges that he Is entitled to the extra $100
and $25 commission.
Court Notes.

the Commercial Collection Agency against
the Electric Laundry for $395 due on as
signed claims.

in the State Circuit Court to recover $5409
on a note executed to the Ainsworth Na
tional Bank in April, 1894, and Interest

The habeas corpus petition filed by W.
M. Northrup to test the barbers' Sunday

FOUR GIRLS DEBATED
MISS ANNA DITCHBTJRN "WON HIGH
SCHOOL ALUMNI MEDAL.
Contest Was Spirited and the
"Welgrhty Free Trade Question
Was Ably Handled.
Of the four girls that debated last even
ing at the Portland High School for the
alumni medal, throe judges voted that
the prize should be awarded to Miss Anna
Dltchburn, while two cast their baljots
for Miss Beth Bradley. Miss DItctiburn,
having received the majority of the votes,
was declared the winner by Judge Otto
J. Kraemer, president of the High School
Alumni Association, who presided. The
debate was unusual in that there were no
young men entered for the contest, which
was open to all the students of the school,
and still more unusual was the weighty
subject chosen by the girls for their de
bate: "Resolved, That the United States
should adopt a free-trade policy." But
the admirable way In which the question
was handled, the skill shown by all the
four contestants in argumentation and the'
presence of mind with whleh the speakers
faced the large audience, was a revelation
to every one present. This showed also
that the young men of the High School
IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST.
had shown a keen foresight in not enter
ing a contest which would have severely
taxed their abilities. They not only re
fused to participate, but only a sprinkling
attended, thus casting the weight of their
disapproval on "debates .with girls."
The debate was spiritedly contested, and
al the speakers rose to the occasion.
There was keen-witted rebuttal on both
sides. Frequent references were made on
this order: "She rose to considerable elo
quence on this proposition"; "Our learned
friends of the opposition"; "The eloquent
speaker who preceded me"; "They would
have you believe," and frequently there
would creep In a feminine element, "She
says this, while we say that," almost flat
contradictions. But the fight was won and
lost In good spirit.
Miss Anna Dltchburn. the winner of the
medal, and her colleague, Miss Kato
Protzman, favored the free-trade side of
the question, while Miss Beth Bradley
and Miss Edwina Mastlck supported the
negative and the protective policy. The
judges. Judge George H. Williams, Prin
cipal T. T. Davis, State Senator Alex
Sweek, the Rev. W. S. Gilbert and Lloyd
Wlckersham, a prominent High School
alumnus, decided also on the merits of
the debate, giving the decision by a
unanimous vote to the negative, so that,
although Miss Dltchburn won, she was a
member of the losing side.
Judge Kraemer made an opening state,
ment that the Portland High School
Alumni Association had determined to
give this annual medal for an oratorical
contest In order to stimulate interest In
this field among the students, and also as
a means of showing the strong Interest
that the 1100 members of the association
took in the welfare of the school. The
ccmmltteo in charge of the contest,
Messrs. Ben Norden, J. Upton and Fred
McCarver, he said, were those who had
originally suggested the Idea of holding
the annual contests. V
Miss Anna Dltchburn opened for the af
firmative in a neat and exceedingly well
horded and well-delivered speech. On the
an-lmportant question, she said, econo
mists had debated, books upon books had
been written, girls upon girls had dis
cussed the question, and yet the protec
tionists still maintained that protection
was a benefit. She then proceeded to ana
lyze the arguments for protection, that it
nursed the infant Industries and protected
the worklngman from the pauper labor
of Europe, and made wages high. She
held that the infant Industries no longer
needed to be artificially assisted by im
posing restrictions to trade, and also con
tended that the high wages of American
labor were an Incident of the growth of a
new country with plenty of fertile and un
occupied lands. She then took up the
trust argument, on which she laid great
stress, contending that trusts were possi
ble only under the high protective sys
tem. ,For the negative. Miss Beth Bradley, the
first speaker, made a clear, logical argu
ment. She outline the policy of the nega
tive, which was that the change from the
protective policy advocated by the affirm
ative was unnecessary and inexpedient.
Ker line of argument was upon the prop
osition that a change from a protective
system was not wise, since' it had been a
success, and had given the country pros
perity. She contended that protection had
benefited not only the manufacturer, but
also the laborer, the farmer and the mer
chant She produced statistics to show
that wages in the United States were 77
per cent higher than. in Great Britain,
while the cost of subsistence was only 4
per cent higher In the United States. The
trust argument she met by admitting that
there were abuses connected with the pro
tective system, which could be "removed
without abolishing the whole protective
system and opening the United States to
the competition of the world.
"Better bear," said she, quoting, "the
ills we have than fly to those we know not
of."
Miss Kate Protzman followed with some
effective rebuttal. She argued that the
protective system Was injurious ,to the
country, taxing the consumers for thB
benefit of oppressive trusts. She met the
high wages argument with a counter one
on the relation of wages to supply. She
described the workings of the trusts un
der the protective system, charging the
home markets high prices in order to un
dersell their competitors In foreign lands.
This, she contended, was unjust.
Miss Edwina Mastlck closed for the neg
ative in a very effective argument- She
defended the trust system as operating at
present, cutting off expenses, and giving
greater opportunities for the wage-earner,
since middlemen were ellmlnatd. She then
outlined her argument on the inexpedien
cy of ti.e change from the protective sys
tem, which she held was the cause of the
Nation's prosperity. She reviewed the his
tory of the Cleveland Administration as a
lesson against any change in the tariff.
Miss Dltchburn reviewed the arguments
of the negative and summed up the de-
bate for the affirmative. The judges then
cast their ballots and decided the contest,
after which Judge Kraemer presented the
medal to the winner. All of the four con
testants are members of the Phllolexlan
Society, the girls' debating club.
FOR UNION AVENUE NORTH
Effort to Secure an Extension to
Woodlawa and Piedmont.
The entire northeastern district is
anxious for the opening and Improvement
of Union avenue north from Alberta street.
Under present conditions an extra tar has
to be paid by the residents on wagon
loads of material or goods delivered be
yond Alberta street The improvement of
Union avenue ends at Alberta street, and
beyond there Is no improved street con
necting with Woofllawn and Piedmont. An
effort was made to get Union avenue
opened SO feet wide through to the Colum
bia Slough boulevard, but the proceeding
came to a halt when a jury gave Cap
tain Love $5000 for the necessary strip con
ditioned on the extension of the street
through his land. Besides this some of
'the smaller owners filed claims for $200
damages where 10-foot strips were re
quired off their lots.
In the present proceedings It Is pro
posed to avoid as far as possible all con
flicting interests, and get Union avenue
opened from Alberta street to Dekum ave
nue and make, it 7$ feet wide. The com
mittee of the Sub-Board of Trade, with
Charles K. Henry, an experienced and
capable man, as chairman, is negotiating
with the property-owners in an effort to
secure an agreement. It is stipulated that
the avenue should not be extended be
yond Dekum avenue at present, and It Is
said that there Is clear sailing between
Alberta street and Ainsworth avenue. At
this corner the large building there will
have to be moved, and the cost is esti
mated at $400 There has been some talk
of reviving the old proceedings, but it Is
feared that this would only cause con
fusion and that the best way Is to start
entirely new, and thus avoid all former
complications. It is understood alt
through the district that the opening of
Union avenue and Its improvement as soon
as possible must precede any general ad
vancement In that community. When this
Is accomplished the other things. Includ
ing Bull Run water, free delivery and a
new schoolhouse, will be attended to.
Theological School.
Dr. L. E. Rockwell, presiding elder for
Portland district, will present the mat
ter of a theological school to be located
at Portland at the educational conven
tion, which will open at Salem today. He
says the need of such a school In the
Northwest is very great to supply the
demand for Methodist pastors from young
men on this coast, instead of sending East
for them. The details of the school are
not worked out, but It is proposed to
make teachers and lecturers of the min
isters. Death of J. J. O'Malley.
J. J. O'Malley, a locomotive engineer
for IS years In the service of the Oregon
& California and the Southern Pacific,

Portland yesterday. The funeral will
take place from the family residence,
206 Union avenue N., at 1 P. M. tomorrow,
thence to St. Frances Church and St.
Mary's Cemetery. Mr. O'Malley was born
in Portland nearly 42 years ago. He
leaves a wife and three children.
Vancouver Avenue.
An effort will be made to get the coun
ty to repair its portion of Vancouver
avenue. The Legislature restored the ave
nue to the jurisdiction of the county, but
nothing has ever been done to put the
road in even fair condition. It Is "cleslred
that the county should gravel the avenue
from, Stanton street to the Portland boule
vard, and build a bicycle path at least on
one side of the road.
Montavilla Sidetrack.
Montavllla will get a sidetrack from
the main line of the O. R. & N. Co. pro
vided the company is furnished a strip
of land 100x1500. The owner of this land
wants $450. An effort Is making to raise
the money, and $50 has been subscribed.
If the whole be raised the sidetrack will
be put In. It will be built at the five
mile county road.
East Side Notes.
Rev. Father L. A. Brousseau, of the
Mount Tabor Monastery, has gone East
on a month's vacation.
Jack Penny, a well-known East Side
fireman, took his departure for San Fran
cisco very suddenly the first of the week.
Mrs Joseph Buchtel, who has been seri
ously 111 at her home on East Sixth and
East Burnside streets, continues to Im
prove. The Wilklns brooding-house, on the
Base Line road, was destroyed by fire
the other day. The brooder became over
heated; loss about $175.
Miss A. Miller, of Sunnyside, has been
engaged to teach the Summer School In
the new schoolhouse at Cottrell. The
school will open Monday.
The brick work on the basement of the
new Central schoolhouse will be finished
today. Already the contractor has started

STRIKE IN TWO SHOPS
BARBERS EMPLOYED BY HOWARD
AND RIBBECKE "WALK OUT.
President of Journeymen's. Union
Unceremoniously Ejected From
Howard's Place.
Twelve union barbers employed in the
shops of Sam H. Howard and G. H. Rlb
becke were called out by the Journey
men Barbers' Union yesterday on the
charge that Howard and Rlbbecke had
tried to get non-union barbers to work
at Marsch's shop, where union barbers
were called out Thursday.
Action was taken in the matter at a
meeting of the Federated Trades As
sembly last night. It was decided by a
unanimous vote to extend moral sympathy
to the Journeymen's Union, to notify the
Astoria Labor Council of the facts In the
case, to declare that the Marsch, How
ard and Rlbbecke shops are unfair to
union labor, and that all union men pat
ronizing them shall be fined.
If the dispute Is not settled soon the
journeymen barbe"rs Intend to open shops
of their own.
The shop of Mr. Howard, who is presi
dent of the State Board of Barber Com
missioners, was visited at 11:30 yester
day morning by President Wanner, of
the Journeymen Barbers' Union, who 're
moved the union's card from the window,
and advised a man who was about to be
shaved to leave the place. At this Mr.
Lewis, Howard's partner, seized Wanner
by the collar and conducted him to the
door, and told him to stay out. The men
employed In tho shop thereupon folded up
their razors as soon as they had finished
the work they had in hand and walked
out. Howard was absent at the time,, but
soon returned, and, rolling up his sleeves,
called out, "The next gentleman," and In
a minute he and Lewis were at work.
The Incident attracted a crowd, "and
many of Howard's friends Jollied him
about having to get down to work again,
and offered to help him out. He took their
guying good naturedly, and Invited them
to "come right in; there will be two more
men here In a few minutes," the usual
gag In barber shops. Before night he
had a new man at work under a six
months' contract, and said he had thrown
his keys away and would be found on
deck from early morning till late at night.
He has done but little work for the past
two years, but said he was ready to go
to work again. He said he had given his
men all they asked, and had violated none
of the rules of the union. The excuse
made for calling his men out was that he
had endeavored to get men to work for
Marsch, whose men are on a strike. He
said the union was wrong In trying to
deprive employers of their Individual lib
erty by forbidding them to work outside
of union hours; that no other union did
this. He said the secretary of the union
had admitted that It was not right to
do this, and that It was not done by any
other union. His men had no fault to
find with their treatment or their pay.
The real reason for calling out the men
Is because the bosses refused to sign the
Iron-bound contract submitted by the
union, and it looks as If all concerned
want to determine whether the bosses or
the union control the barber business.
A number of Howard's patrons sided
with him, and said the union had no right
to say that a boss barber should not
work when he pleased, so long as his men
were not required to work outside of
union hours. Some of Howard's custom
ers who have always Insisted that he
learned his trade in Armour's establish
ment, because he shaves so smoothly, ad
vised him to send there for help, and he
replied that he had already telegraphed
for a lot of hog-scrapers for their special
benefit. Howard says the union card is
not his entire license for doing business,
as he pays the city a license of $20 a
year.
The strike in Ribbecke's shop was much
quieter than the one at Howard's. Mr.
Rlbbecke was shaving a customer at the
time, and one of the union delegates
stated that as Mr. Rlbbecke had assisted
In trying to secure "scab" labor for
Marsch the union had decided to remove
the union card from his shop.
"Very well, gentlemen," said Rlbbecke,
pleasantly. The barbers In the shop then
put on their hats and coats and walked
out.
In support of the position of the union
in its fight against Rlbbecke and Howard,
a copy of this affidavit was handed to
The Oregonlan by President Wanner:
Before me, a Notary Public for the State of
Oregon, XV. E Mendenha.ll and Ira Millard, and
each for himself, say that on May 30 Sam
Howard and G. Rlbbecke appeared at 205 Mor

IRA MILLARD.
Sworn to before me this 31st day of May,

It was explained that Mendenhall and
Millard are employed in the Morrison
street barber shop referred to, and that
they had been offered inducements to
work for Marsch.
Fight for Union Principles.
An Oregonlan reporter interviewed Pres
ident Wanner on the outlook. "We are
engaged in this contest for union prin
ciples," said Wanner. "It is time for the
matter to be brought to a trial to de
termine who Is for us and who Is against
us. We are not asking for higher wages
only that the reasonable rules and regu
lations of the union shall be enforced.
We shall conduct the contest In a gen
tlemanly way, and hope that the public
will believe In us, and In our contention
that our fight Is a just one. We ask that
the public will not patronize barber shops
where union cards are not displayed. I
want to say that the union delegates de
sire to return thanks for the kind treat
ment they received from Mr. Rlbbecke."
"Barber shops of our own will un
doubtedly be opened. If the dispute Is not
settled within a few days," said another
officer of the union. "If this has- to be
done, the bosses will suffer, but we cannot
stand idle and see the public put to In
convenience. Certain bosses are dead
against union labor. That is the whole
secret of the fight."
Only Marsch and one barber shaved cus
tomers In his shop yesterday. Marsch said
he had no statement to make.
Rlbbecke was the only barber In his
shop when the reporter called. He admit
ted that all Union barbers had left his
place because he was accused of trying
to get non-union barbers for Marsch. The
man whom Rlbbecke was shaving said
just then: "Echo answers, 'Mind your
own business.' "
