HEW PAVEMENT SHOWS WEAR 2Ieat Ordinance I Introduced and Referred Franchise- for Pnbllo 2Iarlcet Is Amended and Ready for Final Passage. The Council yesterday afternoon passed an ordinance prohibiting all trucks and heavily loaded vehicles from traveling over the asphalt pavement on Seventh street. This recently laid Improvement is already showing signs o wear, and the action taken yesterday was deemed necessary to keep it In shape. Another Important ordinance that came up yesterday, but which was not passed, was the meat inspection ordinance pro posed by the Health Board. The ordi nance was introduced, but it -was li me diately referred to tho committee on health and police, which -will consider it before the next meeting of the Council. The ordinance granting a franchise to the Union Meat Company to use the Mechanics Pavilion eito was amended -until It was entirely satisfactory both to the representatives of the company and to the Council, and it -was then ordered printed, after which it will come up for Its final passage. To Protect Seventh. Street. The Seventh-street ordinance was In troduced by Councilman Fred T. Mer rill, who made a short talk in Its favor. .He spoke of places where heavily loaded truclts and drays had already cut fur rows in the fresh asphalt, and he thought It was high time that the city was doing something toward keeping such vehicles off the thoroughfare. The ordinance he introduced ordered that all heavy trucks and furniture vans carrj'ing a load of over one ton should not he permitted to travel on any portion of the street between Taylor and Burn side streets for a distance of more than 335 'feet at a time. This distance provi sion was inserted so as to permit wagons to get to any house or store on the street without inconvenience. After Mr. Merrill's remarks, the ordi nance was put on its passage, and it went through unanimously, every one of i the nine Counellmen present casting a jyote for It. The Mayor announced that tie would sign It Immediately, so that it would be In full force this morning. Mr. Rumelin introduced an amendment 'to the cement sidewalk ordinance, mak ing It prohibitory to repair a sidewalk "with more than one-sixth of the number of planks. The original ordinance stip ulated that no more repairs should be made for more than one-sixth of the original cost, but this was considered in definite, and the plank provision was sub stituted.. Election Bills Amount to $2190. A report was. received from the com mittee on judiciary and elections author izing the payment of the bills incurred in holding the special election, amount ing to S21B0. The report was adopted and the bills ordered paid. The" following petitions were received and referred to the proper committees: B. B. Rich, for the Improvement of Marshall street; Hawthorne estate, for the Improvement of Ea3t Twelfth from East Taylor to Hawthorne avenue; Mis sissippi avenue from Morris to Prescott; for a bridge across Sullivan's Gulch at Grand avenue; for a sewer In Crescent street, and for a cower in East Alder street. Ordinances Pnsnca. Ordinances were passed as follows: Ap propriating $000 out of tho general fund for the Mayor, to be used as a secret service fund, as authorized by the char ter; assessing the cost of the construction of sewers in East Everett, East Burn side and "Wasco streets, and for the' im proving of Falling, East Madison and Wasco streets; establishing the grade of East Twenty-seventh street; authorizing a quit-claim deed to Emma Fitzgerald for lots 4 and 5, block S. Market-Street Addition, and adopting the report of the City Engineer on tho extension of Crown avonue. MUST APPROVE ILAXS. Before Buildluprs Are Erected Fire Deimrtment Must Be Consulted. Though it is not known to many build ers and architects in the city there is an ordinance on the municipal statutes re quiring that before any building is oracled, the plans must be submitted to the Fire Department. This ordinance has been overlooked by many people In the pest, and the members of tho depart ' mont are making an effort to have it Etrlctly enforced In the future. According to the authorities, there are many houses being built -without permits from the department. While in most cases architects draw up perfectly ac ceptable plans, there are some instances where they do not. and the Flro Depart ment has to complain about It afterward, sometimes causing long delays and great Inconvenience. Tho Department wishes to call the at tention of the building fraternity to the ordinance, and have it observed more fully in tho future. MANY NEW DRUGGISTS.

Long-, !Jh Things Accused Embexxler Gives Himself Up, Weary of Being; Fugitive. James F. Bowen. wanted In San Fran cisco on a charge -of embezzlement, gave himself up to Detective Joe Day yester day and was locked In the City Jail. .A telegraphic dispatch received by Chief Hunt yesterday said that an officer would be sent at once to take the prisoner back to San Francisco. Bowen is a pleasant-appearing man. and cays that ho did not take the money with criminal Intent. 'I have felt as if I was hunted sinco I left San Francisco," said he. "and life is not worth living under such circum stances. I have been undecided whether to give myself up or to commit suicide. and have finally decided to face the charges against me." Tho officers do not believe that Bowen is an ordinary embezzler. Ho Is a work- ingman. and seems- to have had a good reputation previous to his trouble In San Francisco. He was a clerk at the Pleas anton Hotel, owned by O. M. Brennen, of San Francisco. According to the story told by himself, he was drinking one day and became so badly intoxicated that he lost control of his actions. He had J25S of his employer's money with him and went to see the races. As usual, a friend gave him a tip on a sure winner. He bet and lost. In his Intoxicated condition, he lmasrlned that the onlv thins left for him to do was to play even. Each bet turned out as the first had done, and before the afternoon was over he had lo3t the entire amount. He was In despair and dared not faco his employer without the money, so. leaving his wife and family, fled, as ho supposed, from the pursuit of Justice. No trace of him was obtained, and, as far as Is known, little effort was made to follow him, but he Imagined constantly that the officers were close upon his track. From San Francisco he went to Eureka, Cal.. and then came to Portland a few days ago on the steamer Alliance. He was registered at the Esmond Hotel under the name of J. F. Buckley.

DEADLOCK BROKEN AT LAST Contract Let for Drydoclc Spuds and Bids Opened on Drydock Berth Advertisement of Bond Sale About Provision Contract. ' The deadlock In tho Port of Portland Commission was broken yesterday after noon by the election of C. F. Swigert as president. The result came in the fifth ballot. Mr. Swigert receiving four votes to three for Captain Archlo Pease. Since the Commissioners began voting for a president, on June 9, 40 ballots have been taken, Not until yesterday did any of the five candidates get more than two votes. On the third ballot yesterday Cap tain Pease received three votes and Mr. Swigert got that number on the fourth ballot. On the last ballot of the day all but these two candidates dropped out and Mr. Swigert secured the majority. Not much time was lost In choosing the other officers. G. B. Thomas was elected vice-president on the third ballot, receiv ing five votes to one for Captain E. W. C. F- SiTlgert, new president of Port of Portland Commission. Spencer and one for Captain Pease. One ballot decided who would be treasurer, C. F. Adams getting six votes to John Drlscoll's one. John Driscoll was elected secretary, receiving five votes and Captain Spencer two. The election of Mr. Swigert as president of the commission caused no surprise at the meeting, which led to a belief that the matter had been arranged since the pre vious session, though none of the mem bers would acknowledge this to be a fact Mr. Swigert was vice-president of the pre ceding board, and his promotion to tho chair seems tp be a happy solution of the controversy that has agitated the now commission since It took charge of the office. Spuds for the Drydoclc. The ' meeting opened with Temporary Chairman Thomas presiding. The first business taken up was Engineer Lock wood's report on the drydock spuds, -or guides. These aro the timbers that will bo used In securing the dock In its berth. The engineer's specifications call for 40 spuds, each 16x12 inches and 36 feet long; 38,400 feet of lumber; 3000 pounds of bolts and 1200 pounds of washers. Contractor Wakefield offered to supply the material for J1400, which Mr. Lockwood considered reasonable, and ho recommended that the offer be accepted. Most of the members were In favor of this, but Mr. Willis thought it best to lay tho matter over until tho board had organized. A resolution was passed authorizing the chairman to sign a voucher for money due from the Government on the lease of the dredge Columbia, which was altered later In the meeting by substituting the newly elected president for the chairman. Lnst Ballots on President. Then the balloting for president was begun. After the first ballot, which gavo no indication of a breaking of the dead lock, Mr. Willis moved to adjourn and Captain Spencer seconded the motion. Mr. Driscoll suggested a second try at it, and another ballot was taken without result. It was then Mr. Swigert's turn to get 'tired, but Mr. Thomas advised persever ing. When the third ballot showed three votes for Captain Pease and a breaking away from old ties, no one thought of moving an adjournment. With the an nouncement of Mr. Swigert's election ho changed seats with Temporary- Chairman Thomas and the business of tho meeting proceeded. Only one bid had been received for sup plying tho dredges with slabwood fuel. E. H. Hablghorst & Co., $1.65 a cord for one year, or JL50 a cord for two years. Tho company is now supplying the Port of Portland with fuel at $1.40 and $L50 a cord. As there was but one offer, Mr. Thomas suggested readvertlslng for bids, hoping to hear from tho Banflcld-Veysey Company. The latter firm, of course, had not bid, as Mr. Banfield was a member of tho commission when tho bid were called for. Bids on Drydoclc Berth. Elds were also opened for supplying pil ing and other material for the drydock berth at St. Johns. The first bids for this purpose had been rejected as being too high. The lowest bid then was $42,303, while Engineer Lockwood had estimated the cost of the work at $3S,165. Yester day's bids were nearer the engineer's mark. They provided for 1570 piles, 975,003 feet of lumber, 500 cords of brush and 2000 tons of rock. The bids -were as follows: Robert Wakefield J39.S72 B. F. Smith & Co 40,054 J. E. Bennett 41,290 Joseph Paquet 41.337 The bids were referred to tho engineer for his recommendation. A long-standing case was settled, by tho board deducting $363 from the contract price of the drydock machinery, owing to the readjustment of tho electrical con trolling devices. Tho petition of tho O. R. & N. Co. for relief at Its boneyard, owing to the shoaling- of the water there, was again passed over, as the members -want to find out just what are their rights as well as property-owners' rights In tho matter. Be sides, the river Is at a high stage now, and no one Is suffering from shoals. Advertise Sale of Bonds. The important matter of advertising for bids for bonds was fully discussed, and Clerk Stevens was authorized to attend to the advertising. It is proposed to sell $300,000 worth .of drydock bonds and $300,000 of refunding bonds. Tho bids will be opened July 23. , President Swigert called attention to the need of an auditing committee, and -was authorized to appoint three members on It. He -will name them In a few days, co that when the board meets again the bills can be paid. . M. motion by Captain Peaso agitated the Corset Specials GREAT BARGAINS. Pal?

These goods are bought now In the open market, and Clerk Ste vens pointed out that the board was get ting its provisions at a most reasonable price. Some or the members were in favor of trying Captain Pease's scheme, but when it came to a vote Adams, Thomas and Driscoll voted "Xo," and, as President Swigert cast the deciding vote in the neg ative, the supplies of the Port of Port land -will continue to be purchased by the clerk.

The movement to consolidate the schools in Districts No. 16 (Fairview) and No. 7 failed at the election Monday evening. It was voted down in District No. 7 by a vote of 12 to 7. In the Fairview District It carried by a vote of 24'to 1. Its failure In District No. 7 Is explained by the fact that those favorable failed to turn out. while those opposed brought out their full force. "We regret the failure to carry con solidation," said R. Kofer, of Fairview, "as we were confident ithat it would carry. It would have carried had its friends in No. 7 not been over-confident and turned out and voted. We wlllhave a high-class school at Fairview anyway, and will have the ninth grade."

They exempt firemen from poll tax, which is not collected anyway. SAILS FOR THE NORTH POLE Captain Amaiundnen Is Equipped for a Four-Tears' Stay. CHRISTIANIA, Norway, June 17.
