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.

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

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.

FARMER'S VIEWS ON GAME.
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.

TRADE ON FOR IBERG
MANAGER LOHMAN AFTER FA
MOUS SLOW-BALL PITCHER.
Jim Kelly May Go to Oakland Also
in Exchange for Second-Baseman
Schlafly.
SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 17. (Special.)
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. The
hitch is in the compensation which Ibeis
shall receive. It is probable that terms
can be agreed upon, wheceby a deal will
be made, but it Is not yet settled, defi
nitely. Judge McCreedle, according lo
local views. Is gathering together a strong
team, one which Is far superior to the
hodgepodge put together by the Elys last
year.
