Mayor Williams yesterday stated that
ho turned over a list of delinquents to
City Attorney McNary with instructions
, to proceed against them at once. Tho

firms and corporations that have not
paid tho occupation tax for the present
quarter, but of many who owe for past
quarters and there are prominent names
in the list.
The news that delinquents are to be
arrested and prosecuted caused a rush to
tho City Hall yesterday and 45 license
receipts were issued for amounts ranging
from 50 cents to $7 50.
CLERK KITER IS OUT.
ILesiffns From Judeo Hold's Court
Successor Appointed.
Alvin S. Held, son of Justice of the
Peace Reld, was appointed clerk In tho
Justice Court, -vice J. Kiter, resigned,
Yesterday. Sir. Klter was appointed
clerk at the time Judge Reid took office
early last month.
Mr. Klter, on being interviewed, said:
"The statement that I wish to make Is
this: That I tendered Justice of the Peace
Held a 5500 cash bond, and also a $1000
personal bond, but ho would not accept
either, saying that It might have a tend
ency to recall his bond. After some talk,
he said he would reconsider my personal
bond, but later Informed me he would
not, for the reason that I talked too
much. My guarantee bond had arrived
"at the Portland office of tho bonding
company, and they informed mo that
the bond was ready for 'delivery. But,
after a few hours, they notified me that
the bond was recalled by wire from the
homo office. Judge Reid hag appointed
his son, who is 17 years old, and I leave
It to tho public to Judge If this is not sn
effort to keep the money in the family,
although he promised In black and white
to hire me for the Job. I now claim that
he Is the real founder of having my bond
recalled."
An Oregonian reporter afterward Inter
viewed Judge Reid, as follows: "There
Is no necessity for any newspaper talk
concerning this affair. I agreed to ap
point Klter as clerk, provided ho was
competent to fill the position. Before en
tering upon his duties. It was agreed that
he should furnish me with a bond In one
of the bonding companies. Ho then ap
plied to Hartman, Thompson & Powers,
who furnished him with what is known
as a binder for a period of about 30 days.
About the first of the present month her
told me himself that his bond had been
withheld and would not be delivered to
him. Upon receiving this information from
him, we discussed the matter, and he
determined to resign the office, and did
resign. A day or two after resigning, he
called upon me and asked rae to recon
sider the resignation, saying that he
could furnish a bond in the same com
pany, and proposed to deposit $300 with
tho company. But I declined to reconsid
er his resignation. Why his bond was re
fused I have no knowledge, and was un
able to obtain any Information concern
ing the reason for canceling the bond.
There is no truth in the assertion itliat I
am the founder In having his bond can
celed. Neither is there any truth in the
assertion that my aon Is only 17 years
old. He Is past 19. and this Mr. Kiter
well knows. I had no object whatever in
giving this office to any one, except some
one who Is competent to fill the office at
bo small a salary. I did everything In
jny power to assist Mr. Klter to acquire
the knowledge necessary to 1111 the office,
and even came down nights to assist him.
At tho time of tendering his resignation,
he said he had two other Jobs waiting -and
was undecided which one he would
accept. I did everything I agreed to de
tfor, Mr. Klter. and was willing to do more
to assist him."
LITTLE GIRLS IN COURT.
iloslo Wlnpr nnd Dollic McUale Tell
of Their Fight.
Two sweet-voiced, demure llttlo girls,
Rosle Wing and Dolly McHale. looking
lor all the world as if they had Just
stepped put of one of Kate Greenaway'-s
charming pictures, appeared yesterday in
the Municipal Court to tell their versions
of what turned out to be a kicking, slap
ping, hair-pulling episode. Roslo Wing,
12 years old, was the defendant, and sho
was accused of having assaulted Dolly
McHale, 8 years old. Both girls wore
pure white dresses, adorned with pretty
sashes.
"Roslo kicked and struck me and pulled
my hair. I didn't strike her," said Dolly
McHale.
"Dolly threw a rock at me, Then she
struck me and I struck back." was the
other girl's version. Municipal Judge
.Hoguo was puzzled over tho contradic
tor' evidence, and he characterized tho
affair as a neighborhood row that should
never have come to ,court. Sweet Rosle
O'Grady no. Rosle Wing, was found
guilty of technical assault and was fined
510, but sentence was suspended and the
Judge gave orders that the fine would
not be collected, pending the llttlo girl's
future good behavior.
Mrs. Catharine McHale. residing on
Morris street, mother of Dolly McHale,
testified: "Last Sunday evening about
6 o'clock I was walking on Morris street
with my little girl and boy. The Wing
family livo near us. Rosle Wing stepped
tip to my girl, saying: 'I'll slap the
darned face of her.' Roslo struck my
girl in the face and pulled her hair. I
tried to pull Dolly away, but could not,
as the other girl had a firm hold of her
hair. Then Roslo kicked my daughter In
the stomach. Rosle also kicked and
struck at my little boy. Agnes McGlone
was with Rosic I have had trouble with
the Wing family for months. They have
sworn at me and threatened my life.
They said that I struck their boy. This
is false."
"Look at tho bruise under my right
eye," said Dolly McHale "Rosle did
that when she struck ma. She kicked mo
and pulled my hair."
"Did you cry?" she was asked.
"I did, but Rosle never cried."
"Did you strike Rosie at all?"
"No. I tried to get away from her, but
ehe had too much of a hold of my hair."
Then Rosle Wing had her Innings.
Municipal Judge Hoguo asked her if she
knew the meaning of the oath sho had
taken, and Rosle gazed at him la blank
astonishment. "Do you know what It is
to tell the truth?" went on tho Judge.
"Oh, that's it. Yes, I know what it Is to
tell a lie it's wrong, and I'll be punished
for it," said the little glrL Sho then told
this story: "Mrs. McHale and Dolly
walked toward me, and Dolly threw a
rock at me. Mrs. McHale Bald: 'Hit
her, and Dolly did so. I hit back. Mrs.
McHale placed one of her knees on me
and held me down, with Dolly on top of
me. I did not have hold of Dolly's hair
until sho had a hold of mine. Dolly hit
me first. Mrs. McHale knocked the wind
out of me by shaking me. I had a hold
of Dolly's hair most of tho time. I never
struck the little boy. They are telling
lies when they say that."
"Do you like Dolly?" Insinuated Dep
uty City Attorney Fitzgerald.
"No; and Dolly doesn't like me," said
the little defendant. "Now, about Mrs.
McHale. She pushed Dolly toward mo
and told her to hit me. Dollydid not
want to do It, and her mother compelled
her."
"Did you strike Dolly with your
clenched fist?"
"Oh, no; with my open hand. No, I
neTer fought with Dolly before." "

UNION ASKS CONFERENCE
ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SETTLE
CEMEXT-WORKERS TROUBLE.
Plasterers' and Hodcarrierm' Unions
Invited to Meet Committee to Ar
range Division of Worlc
A difference of opinion exists 'among
the union men of the city as to the proper
solution of the difficulty that has arisen
between the Cement-Workers' Union and
the Building Trades Council. Organizer
Duke was present at the meeting of the
cement-workers last night and advised
them to try to settle the matter by meet
ing with committees from tho other
unions and adjusting matters of differ
ence. If they could not reach a settle
ment in this way ho said that the mat
ter could be settled by the American
Federation of Labor.
The meeting was held at the union hall
In the Alieky building. The matter was
CANDIDATE FOR QUEEN OF ELKS' CARNIVAL.
MISS 5 AD IE L. RID GEWAT, WHO HAS RECEVTLY ETTTEnED RAGE.
Mlia Sadie I Rldgeway, -who recently entered the contest for Queen of tho
Elks' Carnival, Is a native of Portland. Sho was educated In the public and
high schools of this city, and is the only daughter of a well-known and respected
family of S3 years' residence In this city. Her father, Daniel T. Rldgeway. is.
and has been, au active member of the L O. O. F. and A. O. U. "W. fraternal
orders for many years.
corroborated Rosle Wing In every detail,
and said that Dolly was the one who
started the fight by throwing the rock.
"Are you and Rosle chums?" she was
asked. "Yes, sir," she replied. "I don't
like Dolly. The fight took place about
7:30 o'clock Sunday night."
Mrs. McGloane thought -the fight took
place between 8 and 9 p'clock, and went
on: "I heard Mrs. McHale say: 'Pull
her hair, Dolly. Sho pulled -yours.' "
In deciding the case, the Judge stated
that he was far from satisfied with the
contradictory evidence and conflicting
testimony. "Neighborhood rows are un
satisfactory to the court, police and par
ties ooncerned. Rosle. Wing practically
came out victor, and the condition of
Dolly McHale showed that she was as
saulted. Rosle Is fined 510, but, under
the circumstances, the ..fine will not be
collected, unless there is more of this
sort of" trouble. Next time the parties
will bo severely punished," concluded the
Judge.
TO SELL A GREAT MINE.
Jonathan Bourne May Dispose of
Mobntnin Lion.
A. E. Palmer, of Spokane, a prominent
mining man of that city, has been for the
past few days endeavoring to get posses
sion of part of the stock of the Mountain
Lion mine, which Is at present owned by
Jonathan Bourne, of this city. Palmer
thinks that the property, which Is one of
the richest In the Republic district, should
belong to one person, and he wants to bo
the person.
Mr. Bourne controls in the neighborhood
of 1,000,000 shares of the stock of this
mine, the present value of which Is some
thing over 30 cents per share. It Is this
stock that Palmer wants to secure pos
session of. He Is willing to pay more
than 30 cents per share to close tho deal,
and he wants to do it this week. Whether
he will' accomplish his desire Is not at
present known, for thero have been no pub
lic statements been made regarding tho
transfer of the stock. Palmer's position
in the matter is made clear by the fol
lowing article from the Spokane Spokesman-Review
of Monday Issue:
"The deal for the control of the Moun
tain Lion, Involving nearly $250,000. will
probably be ended this week. By Satur
day It Is likely that A. E. Palmer will be
in charge of the property, or elso he will
have relinquished his efforts to get tho
stock of Jonathan Bourne, of Portland,
Or., which ho is now after.
"Mr. Palmer said yesterday: T am not
after an option on Mr. Bourne's stock. I
want to get it outright, and I do not
want any more time than is involved by
a three-day draft. If Mr. Bourne Is will
ing to sell at a price which I consider
reasonable, we shall close the deal at
once. Otherwise I shall give up all efforts
to get control'of the property with which
I have been connected during the past
three years. In that time I have Invested
in stock to the value of nearly $300,000, for
myself and friends.
" 'The deal which is under way now,
however. Is for myself alone. I havo
raised the money to finance it, and I am
willing to go broke on Mountain Lion if
necessary, for I am firmly convinced of
the merits of the property. The deal
would give over 1.000,000 shares to me and
my friends. Already I personally am the
the largest shareholder In the company
outside of Mr. Bourne.' "
An effort was made yesterday to see
Mr. Bourne at his office In the Chamber
of Commerce, but without result, so that
nothing regarding his position In the
matter Is known.

thoroughly discussed, and an Invitation
sent to the members of the Plasterers'
Union and the Hodcarrlers' Union to
meet- a committee of cement-workers to
adjust matters.
The main point at issue seems to be the
proper division of the work. The plaster
ers and painters say that the cement-men
are offering to do work that Li theirs for
a lass figure than they are getting. "The
plasterers have a special line of work
which, according to the trade rules, we
are not permitted to do," say the cement
workers, "and we want them to allow us
our work. There can be no trouble as
to tho wages, for they have riot a right
to do the work that Is alloted to us."
"Even pebble-dashing they claim Is
theirs." said one, "ar.d they think that
they have a right to build a cement wall.
Everything that 13 in cement should go
to us, and men that want to work at this
work should Join out union. They want-
red us to Join the Laborers' Protective-
Association, the same as the hodcarrlers
have done. This is simply an organiza
tion to cover all of the trades that have
not a separate union. They can carry
hod one day, lay cement the next day,
dig post-holes the next, and still they
are working at their trade."
R. A. Marshall, of the firm of Marshal!
Bros., who are cement contractors, is a
strong advocate of the union principles
and Is taking a great Interest In -the or
ganization. In speaking of the matter
last night, he said: "Up to the present
time there has been so little demand for
cement work here that-there has been 'no
call for a cement-workers' union. But
today there Is a great amount of it being
done. Cement work is a profession, the
same as any of the other trades, and none
but an experienced workman can do the
work and do it right. It Is only proper
that they should have their own union.
As for their asking less wages than the
plasterers, that Is only the minimum
wage, and is a necessary thing In this
community. All of the good finishers
are getting more than $4 per day, and
some of them as much as $C. Here, Jones;
come here. What are you gettlrJg as a
finisher? Tell this reporter, please.
"Five dollars" was answered, promptly.
"Do any of the men get moro than you
do?"
"Yes," said he, "thero are some that
get as much as $6.
"Are you working shorter or longer
hours than you did some time ago?"
"I used to work 10 and 11 hours and
now I work but nine," said the cement
worker. "You see, the business is so new," con
tinued Mr Marshall, "that we cannot
always get- good men, and a new one
cannot earn more than $4 per day. We
do not pay any of them less than that,
but If they are good men we pay thein
more. They aro in a position to demand
it."
Eleven new members were taken Into
tho organization last night, making a
total membership of over 70. The "mem
bers are confident that they will be" able
to settle their trouble In a short time
and say that they aro in a position to
demand recognition from tho Building
Trades Council.
NOW FOR A LITTLE RAIN.
AH Late Crops Need Moisture Week
ly Crop Bulletin.
PORTLAND, Aug. 12. Tho past week
has been the warmest one of the season;
temperatures between 90 and 100 deg.
were common in both tho Eastern and

and oats too rapidly, and fears are en
tertained that tho heads will not fill well
Fall grain yields are disappointing in
the Willamette Valley, but threshing re
turns are coming in slowly, and it Is too
early to say Just what the shortage will
be. In Southern Oregon tho yields aro
satisfactory. In tho UmatlUa country
there is a shortage of about 10 bushels to
tho acre In the wheat already threshed.
In Gilliam and Sherman Counties tho
yields aro abovo tho average. But little
threshing has yet been done In tho
Grand Ronde Valley, but it is expected
the crop there will be an average one.
Corn is earing nicely, and hops continue
doing well. Late apples are promising In
most sections of the state.

Many Lemons Sold for Duty an Them
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. The Appraiser
of tho Port of New York has sold for
the Government In the last three weeks
100,000 boxes of lemons because the Im
porters declined to pay duty on them. Tho
chief reason for tho present glut is believed
to be because there has been no prolonged
hot spell. Fewer lemons have been con
sumed and the visible supply has Increased
until the price has gone down to a point
where It would bo money thrown away
to pay duty. Importers, therefore, have
preferred to lose the amount they paid
for their lemons on the other sldo and
have abandoned vast quantities of the
product
