THE MORTOG OKEGOjSTAN, WEDNESDAY, - NOVEMBER 19, 1902. 16 FOR AN OIL DISTRICT Councilmen Recommend Passage of Ordinance. TWO GO ON RECORD AS OPPOSED Committee of the "Whole Considers Creation of East Side District for Storing Fncl Oil Council Will Act Today. The ordinance creating a dlstriqt for the storage of fuel oil on the East Side was passed upon by the committee of the whole of the Common Council yesterday afternoon, and was by a vote of 3 to 1 and one protesting recommended to the favorable consideration of the Council, 'which will meet this afternoon. The mi nority voter was Councilman Merrill, and the protestant was Councilman Foeller. The majority was composed of Council men Albee, Flegel and Slgler. Council men Bentley, Cardwell and Rumelln and President Zimmerman also were present. Tho object of the meeting of the com mittee was to consider the applications for the East Side railway franchises and the Flegel ordinance creating an oil district on the East Side. The railway franchises were referred to the Council, which will consider them as a committeo of tho whole this afternoon. The Flegel ordi nance was taken up on motion of Presi dent Zimmerman, and Mr. Flegel moved that It be considered by sections. Be fore the first section "was taken up Mr. Bentley moved that the courtesies of the floor bo extended to D. C. O'Reilly, who owns a part of the block at East "Water street and Hawthorne avenue, in the pro posed oil district. "For myself and my partner," saldMr. O'Relllr, in response to the Invitation, "I will say that we protest against the creation of the oil district. But if the district must be created, we wish to have our block included in it, so that we may have equal privileges with the rest." This request was granted, and the block was included in the district which was first named, and which was bounded by East Water street. East Madison avenue, "Union avenue and East Taylor street. The addition of the block will extendi the boundaries along East "Water street to Hawthorne avenue and thence to the river front. The section as amended was adopted, and then the other sections were read. No amendment was offered until section 6 was read. This section provided penal ties for violations of the ordinance by a fine not to exceed $500 or imprisonment In the Countj Jail not to exceed six months. The penalties exceeded the legal limit, and they were reduced to a fine of ?300 or imprisonment in the County Jail for a period not to exceed "20 days. Section 7 was -a subject of controversy It provided that the ordinance was re vocable, and on this point Bentley raised a question. "To my mind," said Mr. Bentley, "the section is illegal. After we grant privi leges to a corporation, and that corpora tion spends $100,000 or so on the Improve ment of Its property, how can we reppal the ordinance, which would practically drive them out of business?" "Under police regulations, we claim to have the power to drive It" (meaning the Standard Oil Company) "out of the city now," said Mr. Flegel. "Why should we not have the same power after the cor poration has spent $100,000?" "Look at It in another way," suggested President Zimmerman: "We are not granting the privilege to a single com pany, and the ordinance does not pro vide for the revocation of the rights of one company." "Why should this dfetrict be created?" asked Councilman Merrill, taking another view of the matter. "Why should we leg islate to help the property-owners over in East Portland to fill their gulches, and that is all this ordinance is intended to do?" "Some hold that the location of the tanks there will decrease the value of their property," observed Councilman Al bee. "It will help them 'to fill the gulches," declared Merrill. "Why not have two or three districts. In Albina or In North or South Portland, so that the property-owners in those sections may be benefited by the fills?" Stuart B. Linthicum, attorney for some affected property-owners, said the object of creating the district was to provide a storage place for all who sell fuel oil. There were no limitations regarding, tanks, which may be placed wherever required. The city reserved the right to regulate and Inspect the tanks, and all the -selling com, panies would be placed on a common basis. Other companies may come in hereafter, and all will have equal privi leges. Then Mr. Flegel moved that the ordi nance, be amended by providing that the O'Reilly block, which had been included, be protected with earth, sand or gravel to the level of the street, as had been .pro vided for the entire district. The amend ment was adopted, and then Mr. Flegel moved that the ordinance be referred to the Common Council with a recommenda tion that it be passed. The motion was put and there were three aves and one no (Merrill). "The motion is carried," said President Zimmerman. "I heard only three ayes and one no, and there are nine Conncllmen present," said Merrill. "I move that we take a ris ing vote." The rising vote was ordered, and Albee, Flegel and Sigler stood for the affirma tive, whereupon Merrill made a few re marks for the negative. "Are the others afraid to 'go on record?" he asked. "I am against the ordinance," said Councilman Foeller, "because I think either North or South Portland will want a district In the future, and they may not be given it." "As I understand it now, there Is noth ing to prevent us from granting similar privileges In the future," said Mr, Zim merman. "No," was Merrill's sarcastic comment, "but you will understand it in the fu ture. "Wait until another company comes In and gets up a petition for the creation of-.another oil district,, and see what a protest the present company will bring out from the adjacent property-owners." "This ordinance," interjected George C. Flanders, special agent of the Standard Oil Company, "is not the ordinance that the Standard Oil Company would desire. The penalties for the fmprovement of streets are too severe, but the location is the best in the city. As to oil districts, every modern city has one, and those of sufficient size; have two. "We are perfectly willing to let .other companies come In, for we like competition." "Competition?"- inquired. Merrill, angri ly, "why, this is nothing more than a movement to shutout other companies, rfnd I am not willing to shelter it. Talk about cities of sufficient size having two districts. "Whjv San Francisco has four today." 'Portland may have he same number when It becomes large enough," said Mr. Zimmerman. O'Never, never." said Mr. Merrill. "Once you are in the clutches of the Standard Oil Company, you will stay there. "When they have you once they will hold you." The other Councilmen were averse to further discussion, jind after referring the railway franchises to the Council -an ad journment Wjas taken. WALKS AROUND THE GLOBE B. II.

He was answered that San Fran cisco was the only place that could be considered, and his. next .move was to get to California. It has taken him four days t,o get from Tacoma. and he will start South either today or tomorrow. While out on the road his diet is ex tract of beef of the prominent English and American brands.

Acceding to numerous requests from pat rons who came too late to join Club "C." which was completely filled early last week, we bave just arranged to start to morrow (Thursday) morning another club on practically the same lines as our former Club "C," Including some of the choicest $450 and ?500 styles of pianos of various high-grade makes. The prices to club members will be $264 and ?297, payments $12 on joining and J2 weekly. It Is not yet too late to join Club "A," with payments of 55 down and $1 25 a week. Club "B" Is nearly filled, while not many more sales will be required to also fill Club "D." Our original plans involved only 400 pi anos. With the new club now to be or ganized this number la increased to 500. There will be no more piano clubs after these five co-operative clubs are filled, for the simple reason that too much money is involved in handling any more of them. It will pay you, therefore, to investigate this club system at once. Eilers Piano House, 351 Washington street The Hot Springs of Arkansas.

PRESiDENTCLELAND'S ADDRESS He Favors Constitutional Convention and a Commission to Revise Stat utesJudge Sears Pays Trib ute to Matthew P. Deady. The Oregon Bar Association mot In its annual meeting yesterday morning in the United States Court, Judge J. B. Cleland presiding. The morning session was oc cupied by a reading of the reports of the executive ,'and grievance committees. The advisability of recommending an amendment to the Code, allowing a gen eral .denial instead of a special denial where all parts of the complaint are separately, denied, was discussed. Oppo sition to any change was strong and the association took no action: President J: B. Cleland read his an nual address in the affernoon, and was followed by Judge Alfred F. Sear's, Jr., who delivered a well-prepared and in teresting "address on "Judge Matthew P. Deady." After the addresses several res olutions were brought up but the ma jority did hot pass and none of particu lar, importance was adopted. In its report the grievance committee said: "The cise against Henry St. Rayner for unprofesElonal conduct in altering a tran script has been heard and determined by the Supreme Court, and the defendant dis barred. "The case against Henry C. Eastjiam is now pending before the Supreme Court. The evidence has been taken, and the case will probably be heard in the near future. In this case", the complaining witness, not withstanding he was duly subpenaed and hls'-witncss fees paid, and notwithstand ing the referee and the committees'- at torney traveled to Baker City to take his testimony, failed to appear at the ap pointed time and kept out of town until the referee and attorney had departed. It Is evident that the complaining witness and the defendant came to a satisfactory settlement without taking the committee into their confidence. Steps have been taken to have the witness punished for contempt. "The committee is oflthe opinion that it is not advisable to appoint nonresidents of Portland on this committee. Another recommendation the committee would make Is that members of this committee serve two years." Earl C. Bronaugh" and F. D. Cham berlain constitute this committee. . The executive committee urged the association, in Its report, to .select a nominating committee for the approach ing election of officers, and stated that any member should consider It an. honor to. be asked to deliver an address' at the meetings or to do anything that should promote Its success. In pursuance with the recommendation of the executive committee, the president appointed the following nominating committee: C. A. Dolph, W. R. Willis, F. P. Mays, A. L. Frazer and George G. Bingham. The committee on uniform state laws also made a report. They recommended that a standing committee of five be ap pointed by the president to further a uni formity of the state laws pertaining to wills, marriages, divorces, deeds and other conveyances. Insurance, descent and dis tribution, admission to the bar, usury and limitations. The address of the president. Judge J. B. Cleland, In the afternoon, was in part as follows: "The relation of the bar to the state .and to the business Interests of the com munity is intimate and Important. It has been the theme of many an enthusiastic and eloquent lawyer. History warrants the assertion that lawyers have borne a conspicuous partvin forming and sustain ing the form of government we prefer. The political men of the present are very large. ly chosen from the ranks of the legal pro fession. The record of the past Is one of which the bar may be proud. Conceding all that may be fairly claimed as the result of the labors of Individual members of the profession, the bar does not. as a pro fession, enjoy the same measure of Influence-once yielded to It as a' matter of course. Tho traditional respect once ac corded to ministers, lawyers and doctors no longer obtains. "The legal profession must expect to re ceive only the consideration accorded to other lines of business. The general public and each Individual holds an interest -in the .administration of justice. .Some, per haps not many, men may be able to ar range their private business without an appeal to the courts. "The association is furnished with some general comprehensive scheme of action that will afford opportunity for sustained L effort. It should .be, as far as possible, complete In Itself. The day of perform ance may be postponed, but its dawning 1s as certain as- the course of ,the sun. As an outlined such a scheme, three proposi tions are presented for the consideration of the association: "First To procure the .legislation neces sary to create a state board of commis sioners for promoting uniformity of legis lation in the several states of the Union. "Second To adopt and procure the call-' lng of a constitutional convention to sub mit an amended constitution, to the elect ors of the state. ' "Third To advscate and procure the cre .atlon of a commission to revise, complete and arrange the statutes of Oregon. "No general comprehensive readjustment of Judicial procedure can be completed without substantial changes in the pres ent state constitution. Several proposed amendments have failed to secure ap proval of the required majority of electors. Unless all the conditions are exceptionally favorable, the chances are that 'no single proposition to amend will be ratified at the polls. The available course is a con stitutional convention. "A few of the particulars In which the present constitution may profitably be amended may be stated briefly: "In civil cases, permitting a verdict to be rendered by a less number than a full jury. Such a provision would destroy the Importance of obstinate jurors and some expense and annoyance. "The date of holding general elections should be changed to correspond with the date of the Presidential election. "The constitutions of several states re quire the Legislature to provide, by gen eral law, for the organization of municipal corporations. A similar provision. in the constitution of Oregon would relieve the Legislature of the burden of considering special charters. "The term of office of county officers should be Increased to four years, and the salary of all state officers, especially the Judges of the Supreme Court, should either be fixed at an adequate sum, or, bet ter yet, refer the matter to the Legis lature. "Probate business might be transferred to the Circuit Court, and the County Judge superseded by a County Commissioner. Probate business should at once be sep arated from all county business." In closing Judge Cleland said: "Gentlemen of the Bar: In retiring from the office of president, I wish to acknowl edge my appreciation of the high honor bestowed. I return my sincere thanks. I wish my successor and his successors through the long years t to come success and an Increasing membership, and that it may not long, be until the bar of the state may yield a united, enthusiactic support to the association." Judge Alfred F. Sears, Jr., then followed with a paper on "Judge Matthew P. Deady." paying an. eloquent tribute to his memory. He said In part: "When a young man upon whose should ders had just been cast the toga vlriils, I threw my vision across the continent toward that land where flows the Oregon and sought to gain some knowledge of Its history and Jurisprudence, preparatory' to a visit, I was especially Impressed by the fact that one man had made a colossal imprint thereon r that while others of her sons had made a larger figure in the Na tional theater, the name of this one was peculiarly interwoven with the foundation and evolution of the state. Much was his direct handiwork; must was due to his inspiring lnltatlve; as to some that was 111 done, there was evidence of his protest, but everywhere there was evidence of his pervading potential personality." Concerning Judge Deady's political be liefs. Judge Sears said: "He did not believe especially in any magical effects secured by written con stitutions; he expressed only contempt for the Leyeses who hand out written forms of government ad libitum and ad nau seam. Notwithstanding his early party affiliations, he was essentially a Federal ist, and not a Republican. He believed in Washington and Hamilton, and not In Jefferson. "Scattered through all the laws of Ore gon will be.fpund evidences of his handi work, upon many and varied subjects, including an act of incorporation for this city, which stood for many years as a model for other cities of the state. Later he made a compilation of all the laws of Oregon, Including the codes then in force, in one volume. This was a delicate and laborious undertaking. " 'The miscellaneous laws of Oregon,' says Bancroft, 'were scattered through the current statutes from 1S43 to that date. The organic act of 1S4S had continued in force the laws of the Provisional Govern ment not inconsistent therewith, and the constitution of 1857 had continued In force all prior laws not in conflict therewith. It thus devolved upon the compiler to" deter mine what acts or part, of acts were then in force, .and what were not. He had also to substitute the proper officers and tri bunals created by the constitution for those charged with similar functions and jurisdictions under the provisional and territorial governments. This task re quired care, dlscrlmlnaton and judgment. The work was enriched with many valu able notes of a historic as well as a legal character. " Judge Sears said in conclusions "As I have said upon another occasion, 'He has buiided, too, his own monument, and It shall be more enduring than though constructed of triple brass, for Its is deep ly imbedded in the iife of our belove'd commonwealth. "It rises grandly by the golden rule of the Celestial Architect." The early beams of the morning sun shall bathe it in glory and the last rays of de parting day shall linger lovingly over It, and his name shall be revered and treas ured by us and handed down to our chil dren,vaye, unto our cnildren's children, as an illustrious example, as a priceless heritage.' " After the addresses several subjects came up for discussion. A resoluatlon recommending an amendment to the con stitution permitting an action or suit by summons evoked prolonged discussion. A standing vote decided that the association did not recommend the resolution. Another resolution not recommended was that allowing any person over 21 years of age, not a party to the action or suit, to serve a summons. The following lawyers were admitted Into the association: John Leland Hen derson, S. B. Riggen, C. U. Gantenbe'in, F. W. Mulkey, Frank S. Grant, E. E. Wilson and O. P. Coshow, of Roseburg. Among the prominent lawyers attend ing the sessions yesterday were: Mayor George H. Williams, C. A. Dolph, Governor-elect George E. Chamberlain, Judge Charles B. Bellinger, Judge R. P. Boise, of Salem, and W. R. Willis, of Roseburg. This morning the association will dis cuss the personal-service question as stat td In the-report of the executive commit-, tee. Hon A. C. Woodcock, .of Eugene, will deliver an address. Judge R: P. Boise, of Salem, will make an address on "Fifty Tears' Recollections on the Bench and Bar of Oregon." The association will close Its annual meeting with a banquet. To Attend Livestock Convention. A special meeting of the Oregon Livestock-Breeders' Association has been called for next Thursday.

The visitor announced his mission, stating that he had resolved to stop gambling forever, and thought the best way to do so was to swear off. Mr. Upton at first thought the man was Joking, but, after a few min- vutes conversation, he realized that he was in earnest, and proceeded to have the affair attended to in the most up-to-date fashion. Schliff, after he had explained the ob ject of his call and satisfied the clerk that he meant business, remarked: "I have not got the will power to resist gam bling, so I concluded the best thing to do was to swear off."

"Well, how about a notary; Is there one here?" asked the man. "There Is one In the next room," rwas the reply, and S. Bullock, . the Court Bailiff, who holds a notarial commission, was summoned.
