8 THE MOEKIKG ORE GONIAL, TUESDAY, . MARCH 17, 1903. MAY BUILD NEW JAIL Special Committee Says Old One Is Impossible. PLAHS FOR $17,500 STRUCTURE Architect' Proposal for Bastlle I Approved ami City CobhcIX.WIII Be AsUed to Make Necessary Appropriation. Portland's jail and police headquarters is to be repaired and put Into good sani tary condition. Such waa the edict sent lorth yesterday afternoon by the special committee appointed by Mayor AVilliama to look into the matter of the .city's bastlle. It -will take 517.500 to do the -work, but the expense must be incurred if the building is to be made decen- for the 1S05 Exposition. At present the bandhouse is both un clean and unhealthy. It Is also unin habitable for man, but not for the in oectlle life that pieases to make the build Ins Its home. The Mayor -and the Coun cllmen once paid a visit to the place of confinement, with the result that they Otnow a great deal about roaches and other disasreeable things. The chiefs of police, the police captains, the detectives, the patrolmen and even the hobos, have known all abotft these things for many years paet, and they think it Is high time to put them out of business. To accomplish this .purpose the Mayor recently appolhtcd Councilman Bentley. Councilman Merrill and Messrs. Beebe and sinhoi nf thn "Executive Board, to look into the matter of the City Jail. Edgar M. Lazarus offered his services, ana arew up a complete et of plana for improve ments that will cost at the outside, $17,500. These plans -were before the committee at Its meeting yesterday afternoon. The principal features of the plans of Architect Lazarus are the complete rear rangement of the lower floor with enlarge ments, placing the jail cells on the second floor, and making other changes on the top floor. The building wiU be made the full else of the lot. 50 by 100 feet, .and will include the house where the patrol wagon is stationed. The main wall on the west will be. extended to the -wall of. the Wor cester building, and the south wall will be extended several. 'feet to .the edge of the lot line. The lower floor will have a large patrolman's room with lockers In the center, with a room for the patrol wagon In the 3am e place as now. East of the' patrolmen's room will be the en trance, and a email surgeon's dressing room for surgical cases that require at tention. Then will come the- main office, the chief's room, bathrooms and detec tives rooms. The second floor will have the Municipal Court and the anterooms as at the present time, only the floor will be raised. There will also be an attorneys' room, and the steel ceils will be situated directly over the patrol-wagon room. There will be 24 of these cells of the latest pattern, and they will cost Z75O0 of the $17,500 to be expended. The plans of Mr. Lazarus weresetbefore. the three members of th committee. Mr. Beebe being absent, and they were care fully scanned. After eomc talk on the matter, Mr. Bentley asked to be allowed to make a suggestion. "I underetand," said he, 'that we could sell the present Jail and site for $60,000. What Is the matter with selling the prop erty and buying a lot further up town for less money, say $12,000. and then we would haye nearly $50,000 to expend on a new building for Jail purposes? I simply make this as a suggestion, and you may do as you see fit." Mr. Slchel was of the opinion that the old Jail and property could not be dis posed of -for anywhere near $00,000, and that thd plan was not feasible. After much discussion, it was decided that tho best way to mend matters was to report to the Council that tho new .plans had been adopted, requesting an appropriation of $17,500 from the general fund. This report will be made immediately, and action is expected at the meeting Wednesday. Several of the Councllmen are of the opinion that the plan for a new jail is the bfst. and would . be by far more economical. Even if the lot and the pres ent Jail could not be sold lor 5G0.O0O. It la said that with part of the 517.500 to be expended for repairs, a fine new Jail could be built in a better locality. "That Jail, as we hava it. Is fllmply awful," said Councilman Cardwell. "Every grand jury that haB ever looked into it has condemned it. The sewer connections can oover be made decent, and It has no basement. I doubt if it can ever be put in decent sanitary condition, and I think a now Jail on a cheaper lot would be far cheaper." "We should do something about it." aid Councilman Flegel. "I think that the proposed new jail might be built and a reiving made, though the whole matter would have to be considered carefully before going to work on such a propo sition." Councllmen Zimmerman and Bentley also sail that they had thought of a new jail, and were of the opinion that It might be built at a saving. In any case they were in favor of some sort of an improvement, and there seems but little doubt that the money will be allowed. The repairs will take about three months to complete. DISALLOW MAXY CLAIMS. Jtullclnry Committee Ltstcns to Pro posed Dajiinffc Suits. The Council Judiciary committee spent most of Its time yesterday disallowing claims against the city and in endeavor ing to compromise others. The first claim up was that of P. Brenner, for his son David Brenner, for damages for falling through the Second street bridge last Fall. The amount of damages was not stated, but an attorney present stated that It would bo between $1000 and $1500. It -was thought by the members of the committee that to allow one claim would open the way for oth ers, and It was recommended back to the Council that It be not allowed. A petition was received from Seneca Smith for a deed for block 35. Carter's Addition, at the head of Montgomery street. This block was assessed for street Improvements in 1S54 to some per son not its owner, and Mr. Smith wanted the cloud removed, as he had paid taxes on the land for IS years, and also for several street and sewer assessments. The petition was referred to the City Attorney for verification of the facts set forth, and if the facts are as stated an ordinance will be drawn up conveying a deed to Mr. Smith for a consideration of $1. A petition was Tecelved from Mrs. T. Pflugcr, who alleged that on the night of February 7 she was injured by trip ping on a defective sidewalk on Lovejoy street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. She asked for $3000. It was de cided that If the property owner hod been notified to repair the -walk, he was li able, and the petition and explanatory photographs were referred to the City Engineer to see If such notice had been served. Mm Bottler's claim for damages on account of the Second-street bridge dis aster was disallowed". An unsigned petition was received re citing that Mrs. Blake, of Mllwaukle. tripped over a defective sidewalk In front of lot 1, block L Criscomb Addition, and asking damages. Tho claim was referred to the City Engineer for consideration. Jennie Caples petitioned for "a cancel lation of a mortgage tax of $10.65, as sessed in 1S92, which was granted. Henry Hohnhaufer presented a claim for -injuries received "by falling through the Corbett-street bridge, setting his damages at $12,000. but stating that he would accept $3000 as a compromise. The committee thought that he was only en titled to $750, and offered that amount. Hohnhaufers attorney afterward stated that he would accept $1000, and a state ment to that effect will be presented at the Council meeting Wednesday after noon. The petition of J. B. Slcmmons for payment of street warrants caused by the improvement of Tenth street, be tween Gllsan and Hoyt streets, was laid on the table for further consideration. The assessment for the improvement of the street will be reassessed. W. F. Burrell asked that the assess ment for cement walks In front of his property on Fifth and Ankeny streets be canceled, for the reason that the walks were never laid. The work Is be ing held up waiting for the completion of the straightening out of the jog in the street at that point. As soon as the jog Is straightened out the walks will be laid, and it was thought that it would not do to cancel the assessment, so the matter was allowed to rest on the table. Will Xot Sipm In the Street. The liquor license committee of the Council decided yesterday afternoon that hereafter petitions for licenses from saloon-keepers would have to be presented only in committee meetings, and that there would be no signing of recommenda tions at the office of the committeemen or on the street. In the past It has been the custom for saloon men to take their recommendations to the committeemen separately and have them signed, but as several persons were granted licenses by this method who should never have been allowed to conduct saloons, it has been decided that the committee meeting Is the best place to do the signing. A communication was read as follows from C. A. Dolph, of the Portland Pub lic Library Board: "At a regular meeting of the directors of the Library Association of Portland, held on the 4th Inst., the matter of the establishment of saloons In the im mediate vicinity of the Library building was discussed and the undersigned was directed to request a serious consid eration of the question by you with a view of preventing, so far as you may properly do, the establishment of saloons In that Immediate" vicinity. "The honorable Council has, by ordi nance, prohibited the establishment of ealoons near public schools, and It would seem that the considerations which prompted such action would be sufficient warrant for denying applications for li censes for saloons to be located In the Immediate vicinity of a public library." A resolution will be prepared and Intro duced In the Council meeting Wednesday afternoon prohibiting saloons from oper ating within 100 feet of the library grounds. There being no other business, the committee adjourned. City Printing Awarded. The Council ways and means commit tee convened yesterday, the only Import ant business being the opening of bids for the city's advertising for the coming year. The Evening Telegram bid 1 cent a line, and the Oregon Dally Journal of a cent a line for agate notices, 14 lines to the inch. The committee recommended to the Council that the award be made to the Journal. The resolution asking for plans for op erating of the elevator In the City Hall was Indefinitely postponed for the rea son that the elevator Is now running regu larly. The resolution calling for a .code of city ordinances was also Indefinitely postponed. The report of the Municipal Judge was recommended placed on file. The request for an Increase of salary for a Deputy Plumbing Inspector was also filed." h'o Agreement on Franchise. No announcement was made yesterday as to whether the City & Suburban and the West Side & Suburban had come to terms over tho Northrup-street fran chises. The Council street committee will -meet tomorrow morning, and the matter will have to be settled by the railroad companies before that time. From pres ent Indications, It seems likely that the committee will In any case report on the Northrup-street route, and the Council will accept the report. Pugilists Must Pay License. Hereafter when the "pugs" mix they will have to pay for the pleasure of doing It. The Council license committee decided yesterday afternoon that all boxing ex hibitions should pay Into the city treas ury the sum of $100 for permission to ex hibit. This recommendation will be passed to the Council lor action Wed nesday. BURGLARS FOOL POLICE. Officers Sec Men Robbliifr Till, hut Do Not Catch Them. Several shots were fired yesterday morn ing by Officers Barnes and Hemsworth In a lutlle attempt to capture two burglars, caught In the act of robbing the Turn water saloon, at Seventh and Johnson streets. Special Officer Hoar turned In the alarm. Ho was passing the saloon at 3:15 o'clock in the morning, and noticing a light, slipped quietly to the window and looked in. Right In the very act of rob bing the till were two fearless burglars. "My duty calls me to action," mused tho officer, and he acted promptly. No, he didn't present arms and order a halt. He turned In the alarm, and two sturdy policemen came hurrying to tho rescue. " 'Tis there they are working," ex plained the special in a subdued whisper, as reinforcements appeared, "over there In the darkness," and the three crept stealthily to the window and peeped In. Sure enough, there were the robbers with a lighted match. The tiny blaze cast Its reflection upon the faces of the criminals, and it was plain to see they were men of desperate character. And the coolness of them! They even tipped a large, black bottle and drank of Its contents. To trap them from behind was the plan of action decided upon, and the three stal wart forms slipped stealthily to the back door. "In tho name of the law," began the leader, as three shining gun-barrels were leveled upon the flickering match, but that was all the warning needed. The match went out. and so did the burglars. The creaking of a door was heard, but not a form was seen against the sky be yond. Rushing to the door, the officers then poured volley upon volley In the direction supposed to have been taken by the fugi tives, but tho bullets only spent their force against the walls of neighboring houses. Investigation showed that 5LS5 had been taken from the cash register. International V. 31. C. A. Secretary Co ml n gr. Fred B. Smith. International secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will arrive here on Saturday. On Saturday evening an Infor mal reception will be tendered him In the parlors of the local association, and on Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, he will speak, to men only, at the Marquam. A chorus of 50 male voices has been training at the Y. M. C A. for several weeks, and will furnish the music upon tho oc casion of Mr. Smith's address. President H. W. Stone, of the local as sociation, received the following telegram today from Oscar L. Cox. general secre tary of the association in Salt Lake City, where the speaker has just delivered a lecture: "Twenty-two hundred present. Remarkable address. One hundred and fifty-three professed conversion." Mr. Smith spoke to 2000 men in St. Paul recently, and to 5500 people at the Na tional Y. M. C A. Institute in Boston last Summer. A cordial invitation is extended to men to attend Sunday's address. LAST DAY FOR REBATES , . , TAXPAYERS RUSH" TO SAVE THREE PEB CENT REDUCTION.

The collections amounted to $356,000, and 1100 receipts were Issued by the two men at the cashier's counter.

Jury Finds That He Is Entitled to That Amonat for Injury to Gums. Damages in the sum of $1 is all the ' jury in the suit of A. J. Delano against Dr. W. S. Drake, a dentist, thought the i plaintiff entitled to recover, and this Is J the verdict which was read by the clerk in Judge Cleland's department yesterday morning. The Jury agreed upon a verdict late Saturday night, which was scaled according to Instructions previously given. The trial occupied two days, and a great many witnesses testified. Delano and his attorneys, John "Ditch- burn "and Judge Bloomfield, were natural- ly not pleased with the result, and Mr. ( Dltchburn asked for the usual time to pre- J pare and argue a motion for a new trial. 1 Dr. Drake and his counsel, C. M. Idle man, smiled approvingly, although the de fendant would have been better satisfied If the verdict had been altogether in his favor. At a former trial the Jury dls- agreed. Delano sued for $1035. Crowns wereput upon two of his teeth by Dr. Drake. He complained that they did not fit and that his gums became polsdr 'd and sloughed off. He afterwards called upon Dr. P. S. Langworthy for treatment. Delano sued to recover the sum paid for additional treatment and $1000 damages for the pain and agony which he endured. Dr. Drake denied all negligence. He contended that Delano Insisted on the work being performed at once contrary to his advice, and that Delano was him self to blame for any results which fol lowed. WIIITE CASE GOES TO JURY. FInnI Arimineiits on Kidnaping; Trial Made Xo Verdict Reached. The James E. White kidnaping case was submitted to the jury at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. No verdict had been reached at a late hour last evening. Judge Frazer delivered a long and Im partial charge to the jury. He said the statute concerning kidnaping, which provides: "Every person who, without lawful authority, forcibly seizes and con fines another, or Inveigles, or kidnaps an other with intent either "To cause such other person to be se cretly confined or Imprisoned In this state against his will; or "To cause such other person to be sent out of this state against his will, shall be punished by Imprisonment In the State Penitentiary for not less than one year nor more than ten years." The court then proceeded to define what constitutes the crime of kidnaping In a full and complete manner, and In structed the Jury regarding other features of the case. Deputy District Attorney A. C. Spen cer made the opening speech for the pros ecution, and addresses In behalf of de fendant were delivered by Attorneys M. L. Pipes and D. J. Malarkey. British Consul James Laldlaw has at terided the trial In the Interest of the Shipowners' Association.- The crowd of auditors has been large. FOR A BEATING, ?2001.
