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.

DELANO GETS ?1 VERDICT.
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.
