HOLDS UP BILL
Light Company Accused
of Overcharging.
CITY ENGINEER ACTS
fifty Cents Deduction for Each
light Out.
City Engineer Wanzer In the specifica
tions for the improvement of Handolph
street that the new specifications include
a fill and some excevatlon, things over
looked by -whoever made the flrst set- The
Executive Board yesterday ordered new
specifications. .
It -was reported that County Judge "Web
ster had refused to accept the new Alblna
ferryboat until all the provisions of the
special act were complied with- The same
Randolph-street improvement bothers the
board in this regard, as It is an approach
to the landing.
The Sumner telephone franchise ordi
nance was referred to the, street commit
tee to fix the compensation. The commit
tee will hold a special meeting Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. East Siders rep
resented by Councilman Sharkey protest
ed against the blockading of Grand ave
nue between East Stark and East Oak
streets. The City Engineer was ordered
to estimate the cost of a roadway for
East Oak street. G. H. Howell protested
against the condition of the pavement
close to the car tracks on- First street
south of Madison.
W. H. Gordon, who built the quarters
on the flreboat dock, lost money by the
Job, and threatens to sue the city. City
Attorney McNary has compromised with
him for about $100.

Given Decree,
H. W, GOODE'S CONTENTION
FRENCH SAILOR IS DEPORTED
President of the Portland General
"Electric Company Takes Issue
With Officer of the Munici
pality as to Contract.
According to the methods pursued at
present, calculates City Engineer Wan
zer, the city -will pay to the Portland
.General Electric Company $25,000 more
than necessary during the. life of the
lighting contract which ends December
81, 190S.
The Qlty Engineer has refused to "O.
K." the February bill of the electric
company, and in a written statement
presented to the Executive Board yes
terday afternoon declared that the com
pany had been overpaid 55710.26 dur
ing the 13 months ending February 1
of this year.
"This means $25,000 during five
years." said Mr. Wanzer afterward.
"When the January bill was presented
I knew nothing about it, but this time
I have looked up the contract, and
compared the bill with the reports of
the Police Department on the number of
lights out every night -which is fur
nlFlied the electric company and my
office every day."
In his communication submitting the
monthly bill to the Executive Board
without his approval, Mr. Wanzer pre
sents a counter claim of $665 for lights
out during February, leaving the com
pany a balance of $5094.62 Instead of
$5769.62, the bill submitted. He says:
"During the entire year of 1904 and
the month of January. 1905, the deduc
tion from the various bills for lights
reported out have not been made in ac
cordance with either the spirit or the
letter of the contract, but have been
made on a basis of deducting the time
each light was reported out and com
puting the deduction at the rate per
hour which the city agrees to pay for
each light while burning, to-wit, about
l?i cents per hour, while the contract
specifically demands a penalty of 50
cents for every light reported out." A
Statement showing the bills and possi
ble amount of deductions for lights out
Is included. Mr. Wanzer also quotes the
contract.
What the Contract Says.
A tjortion of the contract follows:
"The said Portland General Electric
Company further agrees that in case
it shall fail to light and keep lighted,
in accordance -with said specifications,
any lamp or lamps in this contract pro
vided for, during any of tho hours enu
merated in this contract, or in said
specifications, when the same shall be
lighted in accordance with tho terms
thereof, caused by the negligence or
carelessness of said Portland General
Electric Company. It, tne Portland Gen
eral Electric Company, shall forfeit and
tav to the said City of Portland the
sum of 60 cents per night for each arc
light for each and every night of such
failure, to be deducted from the amount
of the monthly bilL Fire, flood, light
ning, the act of God, strikes or riots
are causes for exemption.
H. W. Goode, president of the com
nan v. made tho following statement
last night:
"The only reasonable construction of
that clause is that it a light shall be out
all night, and if it is due to the com
pany's negligence or carelessness, then
the penalty of 50 cents shall be exacted.
While not set forth in the contract, the
Inference would be that a pro rata
amount of 60 cents -would be deduced for
any part of the night the light is out.
Tho fact is that only on very rare oc
casions are the lights out on account of
the company's negligence or carelessness,
and when the lights are out at all it is
ordinarily for a short period only, not
more than a few minutes. The greater
portion of the outages is due to causes
over which the company has no control,
windstorms particularly.
"it must be taken into consideration
that in the city's lighting system there
are many hundreds of miles of wire
stretched over 40 square miles of terri
tory. At about 1100 points on these wires
are arc lamps, which In themselves are
delicate pieces of mechanism. Therefore
it is impossible with the utmost care to
avoid a lamp's being out occasionally.
Every precaution Is taken. After the
lamps are lighted the entire system is
carefully gone over by lamp-trimmers
and inspectors. In addition to this, we
kocp a special man on duty all night to
look after the city's lighting system and
nothing else. Ho is there to answer calls
at any time from tho police or residents
of any locality if notified by telephone
that a light is out.
Says Engineer Is Wrong.
"The City Engineer's Interpretation of
tho contract is entirely wrong. Neither
the wording, the intent nor the spirit of
the contract arc in line with his state
ment. I am sure the Executive Board
will so decide after giving the matter
careful consideration. It would be a
reasonable for the electric company to
nay that when a light Is out there Is
nothing in the Eplrlt or intent of the con
tract to make it Incumbent upon the
company to tako the necessary steps to
start the light immediately. If Mr. Wan
ser is correct the contract means that
the company must stand the penalty
anyhow, and is therefore permitted to
leave a light out all night when the dif
ficulty might be, and ordinarily Is. reme
died at once."
City Engineer "Wanzer considers the
crossing of the wires Thursday night.
when 420 arc lights were extinguished.
something for which the company can be
held responsible. Mr. Goode does not
agree with him.
The company bill and the communica
tlon'of the City Engineer were referred
by the Executive Board to the lights com
mlttee, G. H. Howell and H. "W. Goddard.
"I think the contract Is very plain and
that the city has been paying more than
it should." said Mr. HowelL "There hav
been many complaints about lights, and
I hardly think the company has been ex
erclslng due care."
"That certainly seems the spirit of the
contract to me, but the wording is
little ambiguous," said Mr. Goddard.
Escaped From His Ship, but Was Ar
rested in Portland.
Accompanied by one of the officers of
the United States Immigration Service,
Joseph Morisseaux, a Frenchman, left
last night for New York. From there he
will be deported to France.
Morisseaux was arrested In Portland
last November. He had served as a
sailor on the French vessel Jules Gonne,
which was in the Portland harbor at the
time.
The master of the Jules Gonne was no
tified to receive Morisseaux and take him
out of this country. This he attempted
to do, but before tho ship sailed Moris
seaux escaped.
He was again arrested later in Portland
and immediately a warrant for his depor
tation on the grounds of degeneracy was
ecured by the Federal authorities in this
city from the Department of Commerce
and Labor at Washington.
OCTOGENARIAN TAKES BRIDE
Joseph R. Reed, Fruit-Grower, Mar
ries Mrs. Florence Canyon.
Tired of leading a lonely life, Joseph R.
Reed, an octogenarian, who is a fruit
grower at "West Portland, was married
yesterday to Mrs. Florence Canyon, s
widow, aged 40, who has one child, a lit
tie boy, whom the stepfather has agreed
to adopt as his son. Several years ago
the last member of Heed's family died
and since then he has been the sole occu
pant of his dwelling-house. Mrs. Canyon
and her child visited him occasionally as
they were passing his place. Reed was
weary of living by himself and proposed
to the widow, and was accepted. Al
though he has passed his SOth year he Is
bale and hearty and would readily pass
for 65.

son s big "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Company
will give two performances at tho Mar
quam Grand Theater. The matinee will
begin at 2:15 o'clock the evening perfor

Lights and Shadows.
A delicious love story is that of Karl
Hcinrlch, the Prince, and ICathle, the
lowly but light-hearted maiden of Hei
delberg, beloved of the students, delight
fully portrayed by Cathrine Countlss and
Howard Gould at the Columbia this week.
Pathos and comedy follow so rapidly
that one scarcely knows whether to laugh
or cry as tho tale of love is unfolded
until the parting of the ways in the last
acL
men inaeea ail oouot is solved as
Kathle stands with arms outstretched, tho
very image of heart-broken grief, toward
her royal lover, and he exclaims in his
despair. "I have never loved any one in
the world but you," tears conquer laugh
ter and few are thoBe -who view dry-
eyed that final separation.
"Old Heidelberg" is a poem of delight
ful contrasts. Scenes In the old feudal
castle blend with the glimpses of rollick
ing student life in fascinating fashion that
wins universal approval.
To miss it Is to lose a rare treat not
often offered Portland play-lovers.
The matinee at 2:03 this afternoon will
delight hundreds of ladles and children.
The large upper gallery will be thrown
open and it is a splendid place to see
and hear. All it requires is a little extra
exertion climbing the stairs, and one is
well seated to enjoy the play.

BUSINESS ITEMS.
UNLAWFUL LETTER IN CASE
Defendant Changes His Mind About
Contesting the Suit Brought by
Mrs. McLaughlin, and Allows
It to Go by Default.
An unlawful letter written by W. H.
McLaughlin to his wife, Almlra McLaugh
lin, figured as evidence In her suit for
divorce, which was decided in her favor
by Judge Sears yesterday.
"McLaughlin was connctea oi senaing
this letter throuch the malls in the Uni
ted States District Court." said John F.
Lotran attorney for the plaintiff, "but
the letter is In the nanas oi tne jeca
eral authorities, and I am unable to pro
duce it."
"Why can't it be obtained?" asked
Judge Sears. "It could be sent here In
charge of some officer, and returned."
"I don't know If the Federal autnonues
will allow papers to leave their custody,"
responded counsel.
They might send it over in charge of
the United States Marshal," suggested
the court.
I don't know if they would let tne
United States Marshal have the letter."
said Mr. Logan, probably thinking of the
story concerning the Joseph Simon let
ter when United States iiarsnai iiat
thews was Deputy Postmaster.
"I see." commented the court.
"I can prove the contents of tho letter,"
continued the attorney.
That will suffice," said Judge Sears.
"Proceed."
Tho McLaughlins were married at Mc-
Mlnnvllle. March 26, 1904. McLaughlin
owns valuable property in that vicinity.
His -wife testified that he was guilty of
cruel treatment toward her. and falsely
accused her of Infidelity. The evidence
concerning the letter completed the proof.
McLaughlin In the beginning filed an an
swer and was prepared to contest the
case Several days ago he settled mat
ters with hlB wife outsldo of court, and
agreed to allow the case to go by de
fault.
Attacks Character of Wife.

answer to the suit 'or divorce filed against
him by Edith Burkhardt. and for 535 a
month for her support. Mrs. Burkhardt,
on the nlea that she was greatly In need
of relief, -and that her husband absolute
ly refused to do anything for her, per
suaded the County Commissioners' Court
to advance the fees necessary to file the
complaint. Burkhardt in his answer al
leges that his wife is not entitled to sup
port. He charges her with frequenting
a saloon located in the downstairs floor of
the notorious Paris House. She has kept
company with Immoral persons, he says,
since their marriage. He further says
that his wife is a daughter of H. Hay-
ward, who was the principal witness
against Samuel Bauman, who was
charged with killing his. Burkhardt's
brother In 1903. and that Hayward and
some of his children have been from time
to time incarcerated in Jail for offenses.
Burkhardt said he did not know the rep
utation of the family at tho time of his
marriage, and Bauman, -whom he refers
to, was acquitted of the murder charge.
Accuses Wife In His Answer.
Claude H. Mansfield, who has been sued
by Hattlo E. Mansfield for a divorce, yes
terday filed an answer in which he states
that his wife is the one who Is at fault
and has conducted herself with other men
In an unbecoming manner. Once while
they lived at Mill City Mansfield says he
caught one Bradley walking with his wife
with his arm encircling her waist. In
Albany, in the year 1902, Mansfield alleges
that his wife associated with a man
named Alger, and in various ways be
haved improperly in public places.
The two were married in Albany In
1E92. and have two children. Tho father
asks for their custody, and also that the
divorce decree be pronounced in his fa
vor. He denies his wife's charges of cruel
treatment, and avers that she has ren
dered his life burdensome and unhappy
and asserts that he has always provided
his wife with a good home.

all manner of things which were untrue
"Once," said the witness, "he looked
through the window and declared that
ho saw a man In the house, when there
was no man there.
Husband Gets the Divorce.
A. T. Nairn was divorced from Agnes
Ada Nairn by Judge Sears because of
cruel treatment. The plaintiff testified
that his wife was Irrational on the sub
ject of Spiritualism. She threatened to
stab him through the heart on April 7.
1904, and threw a panful of hot mutton
chops over him. She threatened to poison
Itjm, and assaulted him on various occa
