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. Carter, Young- Ensrll.Timan, At

B. H. Carter, a young English globe
trotter, arrived in Portland- late last night
from Tacoma.. from which city he has
been traveling since Friday afternoon.
Mr. Carter has been walking around the
world since 1S99, and expects to arrive at
his destination In London next Spring.
The trip is being taken to settle a wager
of $5000, that was made on the condition
that he should complete the journey in
five years.
Carter's home is in London, but he be
gan to walk on January 22, 1899, at Qhrist
churchf New Zealand. It tvas stipulated
that he should start without money, .and
that while he was on the trip he should
neither beg, borrow, nor steal. He has
journeyed through Australia, India,
Egypt, Japan. Africa and Afghanistan,
and from Asia to the west coast of -South
America. From Chile he secured passage
on the German ship Alsterufer to Tacoma,
where he set out on foot again. His con

he arrived on Puget Sound he cabled to
his friends In London asking if Tacoma

to California. It has taken him four days
t,o get from Tacoma. and he will start

While out on the road his diet is ex

of little use in Oregon, ahd two oilcloth
pouches, one containing his beef extract
and the other some medicines, bandages
and his papers. He also carried a revolv

Acceding to numerous requests from pat

It Is not yet too late to join Club "A,"
with payments of 55 down and $1 25 a

not many more sales will be required to
also fill Club "D."
Our original plans involved only 400 pi

There will be no more piano clubs after
these five co-operative clubs are filled, for
the simple reason that too much money is

of Their Prpfession.
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.

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.

the man was Joking, but, after a few min-

fashion.
Schliff, after he had explained the ob

gamble after I've sworn not to?" queried
Schliff.
"You will certainly be up against it,"
responded Upton.
"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.
Schliff, befbre the affidavit was pre
pared, stated that he thought he would
omit lottery, because fie wanted to buy
lottery tickets and get even on losses.

wanted to sign, it was written out. and
Schlift subscribed his name to it, and took
the required oath.
The document, reads as follows: "I.
Herman Schliff. do solemly swear that I
will never gamble any more in any gamer
called faro bank, roulette, shooting craps,
poker of any kind, or any game of cards,
horse racing, or any other way to bet
money, or any device where gambling is
connected, except one game, that in lot
tery. HERMAN SCHLIFF.
"Subscribed and sworn to, this 18th day
of November, 1002, before n. notary public
In and for the State of Oregon. S. Bullock,
Notary Public for Oregon."
Schliff was given a copy of the affidavit,
and the original was left to be placed on
file in the records of the court. He will
carry the paper In an 'Inside pocket on
the left side, and whenever the temptation
comes over him to gamble will press It
close to his heart and exclaim: "Away,
Satan, away!"
