THE MORNING OKBGONIAN, SATURDAY, 1, 1904. LET THE CITY DO IT .Mayor Williams' Plan for Dis posal of Garbage, MORE AUTHORITY IS NEEDED Conference With Health Committee Ends In Adoption of New Scheme, Dependent on Legislative Action. According to the latest plan the city -will take care of the Incineration o all gar bage until funds can be raised to establish more perfect crematories and possibly cre ate a department which will have full charge of the matter. That plan was practically agreed upon yesterday by the health and police committee while in con ference with Mayor Williams. The propositions made by the Portland Sanitation Company, the Multnomah Sani tation Company and the City Garbage Company were placed on file and further consideration Indefinitely postponed. Mayor Williams has been In favor of giving a franchise to some reliable com pany, as he had feared the city could not raise the money necessary to handle the garbage properly In time to have the city in a good sanitary condition by the open ing of the Lewis and Clark Fair. Mayor Williams explained to the com mittee yesterday that he had given the matter considerable thought and had reached the conclusion that It would bo better for the dty to retain absolute con trol. For 000 an additional furnace can be constructed. He believes If applica tion is made to the Legislature in Janu ary for power to Issue bonda for an amount sufficient to construct the neces sary appliances, the request would be granted. The Mayor further suggested that his investigation of the subject had demonstrated to him the need of having the collection of garbage also under city control, as the present system is unsatis factory, yet at the same time the scaven gers are getting rich. The plan will be. provided the Legisla ture grants the city authority, to estab lish a department on the same lines as the 6treet cleaning department. Nominal rates will be charged for collecting offal and the income from that source is ex pected to be enough to pay running ex penses and interest on the bonds which may be issued. If the plan Is carried out an Incinerat ing plant "will be established on the Bast Side and do away with a five-mile haul now necessary. As there Is comparatively little garbage during the Winter months. It is believed the present plant can be run until after the Legislature meets. CLAIM AGAINST CAPTAIN LOVE Ex-Chief Besser Sends It in From Poor Farm, Where He Dwells. T. T. Struble, Phllo Holbrook and H. C. Breeden, executors of the will of Lewis Love, deceased, filed a report In the Coun ty Court, which states that Luzern Bes eer, ex-Chief of Police and Councilman of Portland, and now an inmate of the poor farm, filed a claim against the es tate for $6800, alleged due on a $5000 note; also a claim for 5253S for services alleged to have been performed for Captain Love between April, 1Kb, and August, 1S3S. Bes ster was quite closels' associated with Cap tain Love at the time of the trial of Jon athan Tice for the alleged forgery of a will purporting to bo that of Nancy M. Love, wife of Captain Love, and services In connection with this matter are doubt less some of those Besscr asserts he per formed. The claims have been rejected by the executors and he has not taken any steps to enforce payment. The report asks the court to allow the executors $1500 each for their services, covering a period of 14 months, and $1000 each to the attorneys, H. H. Northup and Ed Mendcnhall. The court is further asked to allow a distribution of $1300 each to be made to the six heirs amounting to $7200, less 51S53 inheritance tax, or $5345. The whole estate will not be distributed until January 1, 1907. It Is valued at $340,000. OUTPUT 0? DIVORCES. street bounded by fourth. .Filth, oak and Pine streets.

All have been confined In the County Jail here, but those released were arrested two months ago, while the two sentenced have just been arrested. All are from Pendleton. Will Heat Courthouse With Oil. Oil burners for heating the Courthouse were turned on yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and were found to work well and noiselessly. The County Court awarded a contract some time ago for an oil-burning plant at a cost of about $500 to take the place of the old wood furnace. It is esti mated that it is more economical to burn crude petroleum than wood, and unsightly piles of slabwood will no longer obstruct the ground on the Fifth-street side of the building.

The litigants were married in Portland on September 5. 1902. Mrs. McQuery testi fied that they went to Minneapolis, and a short time afterward he urged her to come to Portland to visit her parents, for the real purpose of getting rid of her. She came and he subsequently wrote her let ters stating that he had ceased to care for her. and telling her not to come back to him. A letter was Introduced la evi dence reading: 'Myrtle will answer your letter when 1 take a notion, will not maxe any ex cuses. CHAS."

Mrs. Lltt Says Her Messenger DM Not Deliver the Package. Three depositions have been filed in the State Circuit Court by Mrs. H. B. Lltt as evidence in her suit against James B. Wood and wife to recover $590. which she eavs she entrusted to Mrs. "Wood at Nome to deliver to H. B. Lltt upon her arrival In Portland.

Al J. Cody, formerly a police detective of Portland and now a Deputy United States Marshal at Nome, said Mrs. Lltt had told him that all the money she had given Mrs. Wood was in bills, and that the money was a portion of what she had brought from Portland. State Education the First Step From Individualism. BTKSSXJX.1SB, Md., Sept. 10. To the 'Ed itor.) Some public school defenders who lir in the back woods are contending that the public schools cover tbe earth like the ocean and cannot be swept back by any old men or women with their broomi. At the came time. all over the country, leading: Republican and, Democratic editors, alike, are confessing to the danger they are bringing, while ministers and eren educators are sometimes found ala telling of their danger. The Republican Chicago Chronicle baa lately come out with several editorials along the above-mentioned line. One was headed, "Pub lic Schools and Socialism," and Its; text was taken from Catholic Bishop J.' J. Hennessey, of Wichita. Kan. It was as follows: "Our public school system of today la a breeding place of socialism. "We are educating the youth of the country to look to the state for everything. We are building colleges and uni versities for the sons Of the well-to-do, while the poor man whose sons can't enjoy them must pay the burden. I am utterly opposed to the state's competing with private schools." The Chronicle Itself wants all "fads" cut off and all public Instruction stopped at the sixth grade, and It says anything more or less than this will "encourage the tendency toward state socialism, which Is growing stronger and fast approaching the danger line." Eut Presi dent Butler and other college presidents who dictate the public school policies, say emphat ically that the "fads" must stay, and we all see Indications everywhere that educators would fight rattier than etop the higher courses now so flattering to their pride and remunera tive to their numbers. What Bishop Hennessey says I have been saying for 30 years, and each year has seen a growth of socialism. If we want to avert the coming "danger" It Is time for all bishops to opeak with Bishop Hennessey, and demand that private, schools and home training toe u- stltuted for the socialistic public schools. Judge Emll Baensch. of Wisconsin, and Pro. fessor Thomas C Hall, of union Theological Seminary. JJew York City, have come out In a warning against socialism. Hundreds of oth er leading men are coming out on the same line. Just before dying, Mark Hanna. uttered his warning also through the National Magazine. Professor Hall says that socialism Is a move ment against the whole fabric of modern civ ilization. In this ho is mistaken. Modern civ ilization has bred It the public school more than any other one thing. It is an extension of that system in which something is gotten for nothing at the taxpayers' expense. That is what socialism wants all along the line Recognizing the difficulty there is In in troducing a piano in a new territory, Messrs. Story & Clark, the makers of the magnificent olanos which bear their name. have authorised the Ellers Piano House to make a special Introductory offer, wblch will oren the eres of the whole piano fraternity and gladden the hearts of many music lovers.

May Continue Welnhard Business. Henry Wagner, one of the executors of the will of the late Henry Velnhard, ap peared yesterday before Judge Webster and asked for -an order by the Probate Court authorizing the executors to con tinue the Welnhard brewery business, and also to complete the building on Fifth down to such humble matters as bread, bouses. clothing, beer and music Our Individualistic system the socialist calls a deplorable bog, and he sees the public schools as stopping-stones across this bog to his llve-oa-the-other-iellow system. He boasts of this continually,, and yet none of his oppo nents, from the late Fope or JJarK uanna. down, have been able to see the respocslbU lty of the public schools and to speak for their abolition. While the Catholis Church has found many of Its bishops and priests denouncing socialism, yet none see it as the direct product of the nubHo schools. Over SO per cent of Catholics, sad to say, patronize the public schools, and members have no scruples In teaching in them. George H. Conley. a Reman Catholic, has Just been appointed superintend ent of Boston's public schools. Herbert Spencer, however, saw the relation between Socialism and the public school, and be called for the total abolition of all state education, ere "ths coming slavery," as he called Socialism, was upon us. Has Spencer no effect? Where are the thousands who call him the greatest philosopher of the age? How many Tears must he be dead before the people Trill consistently respect him and heed his warning against the public schools T Our public schools were originally Intended as a charity to assist poor children In acquir ing tho three Re. Now they have added the higher branches also and find the richest peo ple. Cabinet Members and Congressmen, even the President, patronizing them such has been the greed of humanity to get something ror nothing. The Socialist, seeing this expansion of the system and the patronage given it, tninia It about time to walk In and demand Its ex tension to life generally. Therefore, like everything that becomes abused and a menace. It Is time to drop it. But If people, politicians, editors, ministers and social workers are going to be hood winked by, the educators Into throwing vast fortunes continually to the public schools, with their 16,000,000 children, we can rest assured that the usual percentage will continue to come forth from them disinclined and dis qualified for Individual effort, and shouting onlr for that brotnernooa in wnica every brother Is his neighbor's robber. FRANCIS B LrVEGLBT. Irrigation Convention at Spokane Irrigation will be discussed at a conven NEV-COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE INDIAN WAR VETERANS H. D. Mount, the new Commander-in-Chief of tho Indian War Veterans' Association, earned his title well, for he served against the Indians for three years. Born in Ohio in 1833. he came to Oregon in 1831 and spent the Winter of that year In Portland. The next Spring he went to Califor nia and did well in the gold mines. He got back to Oregon In time to take part In the war, and command ed a company of volunteers, though be was employed much of the time In carrying dispatches. His first ex perience of war was at the battle of Evans Creek, In 1B53. after which General Joseph Lane made a treaty with an Indian he thought to be Chief John, though the man's name was really Joe, and he was "no chief at all. only a blowhard In dian," as Mr. Mount expressed it. The United States failed to ratify that treaty, and in 1855 the Indians broke out again and continued the war till Chief John was surrounded, on Rogw "River. Thena treaty was made and raUfled which ended the Mr. Mount settled In Marlon Coun ty after the war and lived there H. T. Mocmt. most of the time, being one of the most noted hopgrowers in the state. He sold his- farm two years ago and retired to live at Silverton. He served a term as County Assesoor. being elected in 1865. and IS now a Justice of the Peace. In IKS.. Mr. Mount married Miss Rebecca Stevens, at Silverton, who Is still living, and they hope- to celebrate their golden wedding, four years hence. They have 13 children, all living, and are therefore tbe kind of couple President Roose velt likes. Mr. Mount also eays he Is a strong Roosevelt man. The eldest of their children Is Judge Wallace Mount.- once Justice of the Supreme Court of the SUte of Washington. food, clothing, shelter, beer and music fur nished by the state exactly on the same line that It Is now furnishing education. It would tax the well-to-do to accomplish these ends until that class was taxed out of Its well earned life and happiness and brought down to a common level with the hobo and the Idlet; or. It this did not suffice. It would sim ply confiscate property until the same end was attained. Every socialist boasts of the public school. He wants it to begin in the kindergarten at 3 or 4 and to continue until the university la -left at 2S. Like Cardinal Gibbons, Grover Cleveland and Senator Tillman, he wants no child labor either in factory or on farm. He says education Is acknowledged to be the bet gift in the hands of the people. He eays noth ing about Tellglon being the best gift at the hands of a church or of God. His dependence being on education, as a result, he Is an Infldcl. He Bays men like Rockefeller and Carnegie prove that education Is deemed the best gift when they seek honor and immortality through giving to it. So the socialist argues, if the state and all its men of wealth are straining every nerve to give us all this education, what a small additional thing It is to ask that they extend their giving along through life and bring It tlon to be called next week Wednesday at Spokane, under the auspices of the Spo kane Chamber of Commerce, and among the special subjects to be brought before the meeting will be a consideration of the reclamation act, a measure passed by Congress for the reclamation of arid and semi-arid lands.
