THE MORNING OlREGQXIAH,. .T&EDNESD&Y, , SAOTAKY, . 18, 1$0B TO VOTE ON SEWER Council to Consider Tanner Creek Tunnel Repairs. SIX PLEDGED TO VOTE $5000 Amount Will Be Deducted From Con tractors' Awsrd Property-Owners Will Resist Attempt, and Litigation May Ensue. Six Councilmcn gave their word Monday to Mayor Williams that thoy would carry a resolution In the Council today apprp jriatlngr WX for the repairs to the Tan-.ner-Crcek sewer. Yesterday an attempt was made to break this agreement, but it seems certain that not only Councllmcn Albee, Flegel, Zimmerman. Whiting, Shaj-key and Ehcrrctt will vote for the resolution, but Councilman Foollcr and probably Mr. Merrill. The Coundlmen who figured in tho impromptu meeting in the Mayors office Monday are heart ily In favor of the plan of repairing the Tanner-Creek sewer, whereby Jhe cost "will bo deducted from the amount to bo paid to the contractor. The only pos sible disposition of the matter that re ceives any credit is that tlje Council may defer voting on the resolution until next meeting and refor it to some committee for investigation. Whatever the course of the Council, it is doubtful if the city will escape liti gation. The property-owners declare that the sewer cannot be repaired so as to bring It up to tho standard of the speci fications and they also assert that they will not pay a cent unless the sewer com piles in every respect with the contract. Tyler Woodward, in an interview last night, was vehement in his denunciation of those who have the Tanncr-rCreek mat tor !n hand. Ho said: "I will say to you, as I have said be fore, that I am convinced that the offi cials who were put in office by the tax payers. Instead of showing any inclination to do tho right thing, are all working to gether to do justice to the contractor, and not to the property-owners, who are footing the bill. "Instead of trying to patch Up that sewer tho city should go ahead and build a new sewer. I tell you they can't patch It. I know what has to bo done. I don't have to take an engineer's word for it. All it requires Is common sense. There is nothing in the eewer for thorn to patch on. It ia all right for an engineer to go Into the sewer and find the details of the bad construction, but any man with a fair amount of common sense can see that the sewer cannot be patched because its rot tenness la so bald. The people call me a kicker. Well, let them. 1 am kicking for Justice. I am not a wealthy man, and while I am not largely interested In the matter, I do not intend to pay for some thing I do not get. But they will call me a kicker. Do they think I am a fool? Well. I am plain. I call a spade a pade, and I would rather be called a damned rascal than a damned fool. There arc two grourtdB that I stand on, and I know I am right Tho Tanner-Creek sewer is not a sewer, but a viaduct, and there Is no law, in my opinion, that can make the property-owners pay for such a viaduct. Here the city is trying to take care of that big stream. Why didn't tHey let pome one through whose property it was running take care of it? However, if they would only do something and make a good sewer, I would bo willing to pay ray assessment and walvo my first grounds for a legal fight. On the other hand, Jf the newer does not como Up to the speci fications, thoy cannot make the property owners pay the assessment. "Why, tho Tanner-Creek sewer that Ri per has put In is not as good as the orig inal sewer. Tho engineers tell me that the tipper and lower ends of the eewer are in fine condition. Before the new charter went into effect I was with the Council, and later with the street com mittee, and it was I who asked that a etone bottom bo put In tho old sewer in stead of brick. I do not think now that the old sewer is as good a one as might have been built, but thore Is no compar ison between It and. the one that the city is trying to make us pay for. "This talk alout protecting the property-owners is more subterfuge. Pshaw! I tell you that thoy arc working for the contractor., and the property-owners, in my thinking, stand a good chance of be ing frozen out." Mr. Woodward was much wrought, and is apparently determined to fight the prop oSltl6n to tho end. His assertions about volee the opinion of others who are Inter ested In the matter. AID GOOD ROADS CAUSE. Movement Has Been Taken Up Jy Oregon Development League. The good roads, movement has been taken, up by the Oregon Development League. Cdirimittees In each of the 45 affiliated organizations will "be appointed in the next few days to correspond with Judge J. H. Scott, president of the Good Roads Association, and become thorough ly acquainted with the needs of the state GLIMPSES OF ORIENTAL LIFE Bits of Local Color From Japan and China Papers Received by S. S. Aragonia. J ywf T the Instance and expense of Mr. iJL Kobel Kuwada, an ex-army sur- geon, religious services for the Japanese and Russian horses killed in the war lias boon held at the Kwannon temple at Aaakusa. over 10 priests being present, says the Kobe Herald. The British steam launch Wangfat. says tho Kobe Herald, was captured by pirates as she was leaving Wuchou. She was recaptured by Chinese soldiers, and two of the pirates, loaded with booty, were made prisoners. According to Japanese official Investi gations, says the Kobe Herald, Japanese carrying on business in Corca number 7S51. The Kokumln relates that one sunny morning at Port Arthur on one of the principal streets of the Chinese town a number of Russian sailors and -soldiers were chafing one another, when a young Chinese girl apeared In their midst and participated in the fun. Suddenly she threw her hands above her head and went down. like a log. The men who hastened to her side pronounced her stone dead, -and how the question arose as to who was responsible for her murder. The sailors accused the soldiers and vice versa. For a tlmo pandemonium ccigned. Then the police came and arrested the entire crowd. At the police station an autopsy was held an the doctor pro nounced, the girl's death to be due -to a Japanese rifle bulet which had skimmed the top Of her head, slightly fracturing her skull. The Kobe Herald notes that a joint session of tho Aristotelian and Baconian Literary Societies of the Kwahsel Gakuin will be held in the school chapel. Scarcity of money, -according to tho MalnlcaL prevented the Corean govern at large, as well-as of their own particu lar portions, in regard to highways. When the league meets In March one of the most Important topics of discussion will be this matter. And when the Na tional Good Roa&a Association msets here next Bummer, it will be found that Ore gon will be well organized and able to carry out any good roads movement. The Commercial Club of Portland has already appointed Its committee, and Sec retary Tom Richardson has Informed the organizations throughout the state of the action. The committee consists of John H. Beall. chairman; A. 1 Craig. W. E. Coman, G. W. Evans. H- W. Goddard and W. M. Cake. These men were chosen on account of their interest Jn the question of good roads and their knowledge of the state's needs in that direction. Other commercial clubs- in the state will make similar appointments. This Is the broadest movement in the direction of better highways that has ever been taken up in Oregon. Every sec tion will be actively Interested in the movement and closely connected with It. The state at large will also be well rep resented at tho Good Roads convention, and will be able to derive the greatest possible benefit from it. INSURANCE TOO HIGH. Chamber of Commerce Would Effect an Amendment of Law. A 'memorial to tho Legislature, asking for an amendment In the insurance law of the state, is being prepared under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, and will bo .sent to the Assembly tomor row. The petition is being drafted at the request of a majority of the principal business men and property-owners of the city", who arts suffering from the exor bitant insurance rates now being charged on business houses, docks and other largo properties here. The matter was brought up at the meet ins of the trustees of the Chamber yes terday morning, and- at that time It was ordered that the moraorial be drawn at once. The amendment which will be asked for is that the state abolish the $30,000 bond clause lu the law, in effect at the present time. By this law it is provided that all fire insurance companies doing business in the state be required to furnish a bond of $50,000 before they can assume risks under the protection of the law. As a result of this. It Is claimed by the business men that a great many of the most reputable firms remain out of the state, by reason of which tho few remaining, under the direction of the Un derwriters' Association, are able to ask enormous rates, from which there Is no appeal. Tho purpose gf the amendment will be to allow more companies of recognized standing to come into the state, and thus increase tho competition to that extent where tho rates will fall to a normal fig ure, and at the same time to take the absolute control of the situation from tho hands of the Underwriters' Association. It is also wished to restrict the power of tho underwriters by enacting an anti compact clause in the law, which will make it unlawful for any association to fix arbitrary rates of insurance for any business or locality. Tho amendments proposed will make the law almost identical with the provisions of tho Washington statute. Oregon la the only state on the Pacific Coast which has the bonding clause in its insurance law, and as a result there are 10 Insur ance companies doing business in Wash ington and California where there are lees than CO In Oregon. The memorial will be sent to Salem this evening, and will in all probability be submitted to the Assembly on tho day following. President Wheelwright of tho Chamber of Commerce, appointed part of his stand ing committees at the meeting yesterday. There are a number of appointments which have not been made as yet, owing to lack of time on tho part of tho presi dent, but the list will bo finished be tween this time and tho next monthly meeting.

Fined $20 on a charge of smoking on duty, notified that he is to bo severely repri manded for associating wth a woman not his wife and to have another charge of a rious nature filed against him such is the record of yesterday for Patrolman W. J. Bullus. Failure to salute Acting Sergeant Car penter Is the latest charge, coupled with the allegation that ho used profane lan guage toward his "superior." The trial of Bullus for this last alleged offense will take place today. Last night the patrolman was suspended from duty pend ing tho outcome. He denied bis guilt, saying that Carpenter is simply "sore" because he failed to give the military sa lute ordered by deneral Beebe to be given by patrolmen when meeting alleged supe rior officers. ment from earning out it intention of sending S000 to Hamgyongdo to drive out tho Russians. A Corean garrison, when orders were givon to dismantle Its bar racks, threatened to 0 over to tho Russians and the orders were rescinded. The women'j clubs must flourish in Japan, acocrdlng to a Kobe item which says that the first annual meeting the Oriental Ladles' Society was held in the residence of Marquis OCabcshlma, when Count Okuma, the Chinese, Corean and Siamese Minsters, about a hundred Chinese and Corean ladles and about 300 Japanese ladles were present. Russian sailors at Shanghai, where the cruiser Askold Is Interned, members of its crew having recently killed a Chinaman, as reported in the cable dispatches, are given a bad character By tho North China Dally News, which says: "The sailors from the Russian warships now in port, who are daily let loose on the Settlements, are becoming an Intolerable nuisance. Going along the Broadway yesterday afternoon a representative of this paper saw no less than five brawls In less than half an hour. So long as tho men use their fists on each other the public suffers but little, but when they smash up rickshas, and have to be forci bly ejected from shops, it becomes rather too much of a good thing. The men seem td go about in parties of two or three, get disgracefully drunk and then start fighting." A piece of ammunition among the spoils kept in the compound of tho War Depart ment at Toklo exploded while some offi cers were examining It, Seven persons were Injured, says the Kobe Herald. The only theater now (December) run ning In Dalriy Is a Chinese one, writes a correspondent bt the Kobe Herald. A troup arrived from China a short time ago and their performances attract large crowds of Chinese and Japanese (mostly soldiers, who are admitted tn nf ch&rre). FIND NEASE GUILTY Jurors. Return Verdict Against Poolroom Manager. CASE WILL BE APPEALED Supreme Court Will Be Asked for an Opinion on the Ruling of Judge Frazer That a Pool room Is a Nuisance. The remarkable spectacle of. a man as sisting to convict himself on a criminal charge was witnessed In Judge Frazers court yesterday, at the trial of M. G. Xcase. on a charge of conducting a pool room known as the Warwick Club, In October last Xcase desires to- obtain a decision from the Supremo Court whether section 1SS of the code, under which ho was Indicted, applies to selling pools on Morse races, and he was therefore de sirous of conviction because if acquitted It would deprive him of the right to ap peal and test the law. Tho statute under widen he was in dicted makes It unlawful for any person to commit an act which openly outrages public decency, or Is Injurious to public morals., or grossly disturbs the' public peace. The Council passed an ordinanco li censing poolrooms, and Xeaso was operat ing under a city license when his placo was raided and closed by Sheriff Word, and he and his employes were arrested. The Warwick Club premises have ever since been in charge of tho Sheriff, who has an armed guard in the place. Judge Frazer. In charging tho Jury, said that, a a matter of law. a poolroom or turf exchange, where betting on horse races occurs, whether tho mon6y is tele graphed away or kept here. Is an act which outrages public decency and is In jurlouj to public morals, and disturbs the public peace. "In other words," said tho court, "it Is a nuisance, and, under tho common law. keeping a common gaming house was a nuisance. Your discretion In passing upon the facts cannot bo re viewed. If the trial court makes an error It can be reviewed in tlic Supreme Court Taking bets on horse races Is gambling, one form of gambling, and keeping a house where bets are taken Is a nui sance. The only question Is If the de fendant conducted such a house. If he did, it is your duty to find him guilty." Council Had No Power to License. Concerning the city license held by Xcase, Judge Frazer said it was no de fense. "The Council had no power to pass such an ordinance," the court said, "and the ordinance is void. Under tho city charter, the Council has power to suppress gambling and gaming houses, but it does not give them any power to license gambling. The license is null and void, of no effect, and no defense in this action." The Jury returned a verdict of guilty without leaving their seats. John 7.L Gcarin, attorney for Xcase, after the evi dence was all In. remarked: "There is nothing left to .do but for the jury to re turn a verdict of guilty." Poolroom Under Heavy Expense. Xease. when on the witness stand, tes tified that th Warwick Club made books on the races and took bats from tho public. He told of the telegraph service of tho club, but was careful to cover up the amount paid for race reports. Bills in tho possession of Sheriff Word, ob tained In the Warwick clubrooms, show that ncarely 5700 was paid by the club to the Western Union Telegraph Company In nine days. According to this, the race reports would cost over J200O per month, and the total oxpenscs of tho poolroom would be about $150 per day. Xcase tes tified that telegrams cost the concern $5 to J6 per day, but he evidently did not mean to include tho race reports. Xcaee was particular to Impress tho jury with the fact that taking bets on hdrse raceB was his business, and he did not -want to take any chances of - not being convicted, because he desired to test the law. GRAND JURY STILL AT WORK Three Members Investigate Purchase of County Supplies. Three members of the late grand jury, John M. A. Laue, George H. Thomas and F. M. Johnson, arc still engaged In con ducting an investigation to ascertain if the county has paid too much for sup plies purchased In some instances. The, grand Jury lq Its report stated that cer tain supplies were bought in open market and from 40 to SO per cent more paid for the goods than the same might have been purchased for. It appears that the poor farm superintendent occasionally buys a few things In the open market and County Physician Gray has also some tiroes made some purchases In the same manner. There are also other cases which the grand Jury objected to. After the adjournment of tho grand jury Judge Webster sent the members a letter in which he called attention to this part of its report and took some excep tions to it The grand jury in its report stated that all goods should be advertised for and purchased from the lowest respon sible bidder. Following the receipt of Judge Web ster's letter. Messrs. Laue, Thomas and Johnson called at tho office of County Auditor Brandts and asked to .see cer tain bills, which were passed over to them by the Auditor for Inspection. The bills included some poor-farm bills, print ing bills and among the number a bill of The Irwin-Hodson Company. A whisky bill of the poor farm, where $3.50 per gal lon was paid, was commented upon by Mr. Lane, who said good whUkey ought to be bought for- $2 per gallon. The liquor was for medicinal purposes. It Is evi dently the Intention of Messrs. Thomas, Laue and Jornson to -answer Judge Web ster's letter. CHARGES HER'WITH DESERTION Husband Wants Divorce After Thirty Five Years of Wedded Life.

Opposed to Practice of Feeding Duck Lakes. HILLSBORO. Or.. Jan. IK (To the Editor.) Some perstti kindly rtnt me the decisions of Judge Ross In the United States Circuit Court of the Northern District of California. In rela tion to tbe uie of repeating shotgun and th preservation of game. Tbts case was brought before the court under a writ of habeas corpus. The Judge, in his summing- up. says that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution declares that "No state shall make cr enforce any law which thall abridge the privileges or Immunities of citizens of tbe United State; nor shall any Plate deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within IU Juris diction the equal protection of the laws." He s-oes on to state that "Labor Is property, and, as such, merits protection, and that the power to make it available Is next In Importance to rights of life and liberty. The Judge makes It very plain that the man who was con victed in a lower court and was sent to Jail had committed, no crime. The gvn he used being bis. proycrij, he hau & right to us Jt as euebt I was glad to get this decision, and I intend to show how consistent vome people are. The poor boy, according to Judge Ross, has Just tbe Faroe right In law with hlfi quail trap as the rich man has with his automatic gun. It takes labor to build tbe trap, and it Is con trary to the Constitution of the United States to deprive the poor man of tbe use of his labor: and. furthermore, no state has a right to make a law to govern Tny labor,' as long as It Is not criminal. Ton see whet this leads up to. Every farmer and every member of his fam ily has a right to their traps, and each one has a right to catch the full limit. I do not like the trap Idea, but It is law. and there is nothing to do but grin and bear it. Now. we will look a little at the rights of our Legislature. Has it a right "to say .to the farmtr. Tou shall keep chickens, or tur keys, or ducks, or geese on. your farm, and you shall only kill them during certain months of tbe year? You will zay any fool knows It has no such rights. Then what right have our laws to say that the farmer ishall keep Chinese pheasants on his farm when they are a nuisance to him? I have seen wheat fields damaged $100 by the pheasant and It is almost Impossible to raise a garden in some places on account of these birds. Now, the farmer owns his farm In fee simple, and he-.owns all it con tains. No state nor set of men has any right to dictate what he shall keep cn his place, or how he shall dispose of It or when he shall sell the products of his. farm. The best time to sell Is when-it commands the best price. As to dogs, what are we going to do about them? They are property, as Is the gun. Judge Ross says the value consists in its use. and of course- It Is the same with dogs. I see most of the sporting fraternity is ia favor of ueing them after birds, but draws the line on deer. "O, consistency, thou art a Jewel?' As they are property.. It Is con trary to the Constitution to deprive me of the use of mj property. All laWs prohibit ing tbe use of my dogs after deer are un constitutional., and therefore null and void. This Is my stand: It is unconstitutional to prohibit the use of the gun. the trap and dog. As to ducks. I have been up and down the Valley, and it would shock any sensitive nerves . to hear the anathemas pronounced against those who are putting feed In the lakes. I heard it said that the sporting clubs were sot satisfied with saddling tbe Chinese pheasant plague on us, but they must feed the lakes and keep the ducks from coming to their natural feeding grounds. The people say ducks do no harm. Law can be made to prohibit tbe feeding of the lakes, as laws are made to prevent obstructing the streams to prevent fish from going up. These sporting clubs are mostly composed of rich men. some of them mil lionaires. They want such laws passed as will suit them. They do not once think of the great majority of our citizens Who .have to take pot luck, or, in other words. with them It Is us first; If there Is anything left then you can be served. Now. we hope that our Legislators will look Into this thing carefully and not let discriminating laws be passed. It Is an ab surd Idea to allow dogs to hunt birds and not deer. Dogs are a protection to deer. The killing of one or two cougars, bears, lynxes, wildcats, coyotes or catamounts will be the cause of presertlng more game In tbe mountains ' than would be killed before a dozen packs of hounds. A.

The statement was made today that Manager Iohman has traded Second Baseman Schlafly to Portland for Iher?. There is a deal on, hut as yet it has not been consummated. It is known that some friction has existed for sometime between Schlafly and Lohman, and the former was- anxious to play under some other management. Manager McCrecdie is willing to trade Iberff and Jim Kelly for a second bas man. Kelly played with St. Paul last year and is a ballplayer of note.
