Iff THE MORNING OBEGONlAy. WEDNESDAY, MAlY 3, 1905.:. ELLIOTT TELLS : SBftND JURY ALL Ex.-Gity Engineer Throws Light ; m -the Crooked Front- . Street Bridge Deal. BUILDERS ALSO TESTIFY Hoffman. Brothers, Whose Suit lie Tcaled Existence of Contractors' ' Pool, Are Among First Witnesses Called. There xtas some switching: around in the .personnel of the grand Jury -which Judge . A. I .Frazer convened on Monday for the purpose of Investigating: the al leged scandals in municipal affairs. Albert Brlx and Ira B. Allen, clerk, of the grand jury, appeared before Judge Frazer and asked to be excused. This request -was granted by His Honor on account of business reasons and In their place -were added Peaumbra Kelly, former Sheriff of Multnomah County and for several years deputy In that office, and Frank D. Hig gins, an accountant. When the grand jury was reorganized, Mr. Higglns was made clerk. The delay caused by excusing the two jurs retarded the work of probing Into various charges which have been made against C. E. Rumelin and other city offi cials. Today, however, the work will start in earnest and before many days some very startling things may develop from the testimony that will be brought to the -attention of the grand jury. Only .three witnesses were called yesterday by District Attorney John Manning, who. by the way, is conducting the examinations in person. They were W. a Elliott, former City Engineer. George and John Hoffman. It was upon the testimony given before District Attorney Manning by Elliott that the information was filed against Council man Rumelin. It was impossible to learn the nature of the testimony that Elliott gave yesterday, because Judge Frazer, in swearing in the Jurors, instructed them to swear each witness to secrecy. Elliott was before the grand jury for over two hours and liad not completed his testi mony when it came time for adjourn ment. He will again appear this morning. Elliott, as City Engineer, was in a posi tion to be on the Inside of all the deals that were put through and undoubtedly his testimony furnished the District At torney and the members of the-Jury with the "names of persons who were mixed up more or less in the alleged scandals. Front-Street Bridge Scandal. The fact that Hoffman brothers and "W. C. Elliott were among the first wit nesses to appear before the grand jury clearly Indicates that It is Mr. Manning's intention to delve into the scandal con nected with the Pront-street bridge. It is -this case In which Councilman Rume ' Un figures so prominently. Hoffman brothers are cement contractors and are the plaintiffs in the suit recently filed against J. It. Bowles and George F. , Heusner, who are said to be the real con ''trsuclors for the Front-street bridge. Vhere are said to be some irregularities 'inj'the cement yardage and of overcharges for'the. work done for the city. In the Jfc complaint filed by the cement contractors "against Bowles and Heusner and the Pacific Construction Company, of Califor nia, there are some extraordinarily sen sational allegations of fraud made. These were ordered stricken out by the court, who held that such allegations had no place in a civil action. The Hoffmans laid the concrete for the bridge. "When they came to collect .for their -work, they allege that the contract they had with Bowles and Heusner was spurious because there was no such com pany as th5 Pacific Construction Com pany, of Everett, "Wash. Before the con tractors found that the contract was no Bood.-tbey had done the work and found that they had to look to Bowles and, Heusner for their money. The Hoffmans first began -a suit in equity, but later had the suit dismissed and began an action In Jaw to recover $4500 from Bowles and HeuBner as Individuals. When the certi fied check for $5300. which the Pacific Construction Company of Everett. Wash., . through J. J Maney, deposited with City Auditor Devlin, was returned, it is said that It was Bowles who furnished the check" for J30O3 which was deposited when the contract was relet to the Pacific Con struction Company, or California. When it came to opening the contracts for the Front-street bridge, it was found that the Washington company had made the lowest hid. $53,000. Accompanying this bid "was the certified check for $3300. It is. said there were several bids between the $53,000 made by the Washington Com pany and the bid of $5S.O00 made by the Pacific Construction Company, of Cali fornia. Councilman Rumelin, according to the story that Elliott tells, took a very active Interest in this piece of city work, . and when he found that it had been granted to J. J. Maney. he Is said to have requested Elliott to find some flaw In tho contract. Rumelin, it Is said, offered El liott a certain sum of money if he would throw out the Maney hid. Elliott is said to have refnscd to do this, and another 'tack was taken by those who were inter ested in having the contract given to the California company. Maney's Change of Heart. Just who put this,dcal through is eft for the grand jury to find out. The i&ct remains that Maney, who first refused to step aside aad give up fcia cob tract, ua derweat a change of heart. He set ealy turned "back the cea tract, but a4s certified caeck was returned to him. The Execu tive Board ordered this dose at a special meeting. It is also charged that the intermediate bidders were persuaded to assign their bids, which it is said they did for a consideration. Ruaielln Is said to have engineered the whole deal. Whether he did so or not remains for the grand Jury to find out. In addition to the charges against him In connection with the bridge deal, there is a rumor afloat that the grand Jury will look Into his methods of lending money to the city em. ployes. Unless something crops up that is un Iooked for. this county grand Jury will become as famous as the Federal grand jury which exposed the Oregon land k frauds. There is a disposition on the part of the Jurors to sirt all or tne rumors oi crookedness pertaining to municipal af fairs. If there is any truth In all of the stories that have been floating about of late, it will be brought to light and In dictments will be returned against those guilty, no matter who they are. Mr. Man ning will consult with Governor Cham berlain, and it is possible that the same Jury "will probe into the alleged school land steals. s. LEADING HEPUBIiICAX CANDI DATE HAS WARM SUPPORT. He Was Mayor in 1900-02 and His Friends Expect Him to Be Again in 1905-07. Henry S. Rowe is the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Mayor of Portland. He Is and has been for three years the general agent of the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, and has charge of the business of that rail way In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, Alaska and British Columbia. For 80 years Mr. Rowe was In charge of Important railroad work before he was elected Mayor of Portland In 1900. He has demonstrated that he is a successful business man, with large executive abil ity, Mr. Rowe has lived In Portland 23 years, and has all his interests in Port land. He resides at 443 Holladay avenue. Mr. Rowe has been an active Repub lican all his life. He -was Fire Commis sioner of Portland for four years before he was Mayor of Portland, and has an Intimate knowledge of the needs and ef ficiency of tho Portland Fire .Depart ment. In 1900 Mr. Rowe was elected Mayor of Portland and gave the city the most ef fective and economical administration it ever had. What Mr. Rowe has done as Mayor of Portland In the past he can and will do again In the future. The people of Portland want an ef fective Mayor f this city, and they arc supporting Henry S. Rowe for Mayor be cause he was a good, effective executive head of the city from July 1, 1900. to July 1 1902. and will be again. Mr. Rowe, as Mayor, will see that the Police Depart ment enforces all the laws of thc city without fear or favor. As Mayor, he will appoint a vigorous, capable man as Chief of Police and have a Police Department In Portland that will protect both the citizens and visitors to the Fair from the The next Mayor of Portland -will ( ap point the City Engineer of Portland. Mr. Rowe will appoint an honest and capable City Engineer, so that Portland will get value received for money expended on public improvements. Mr. Howe's ad ministration as Mayor had no scandals in any department, and it will not have. He will give an impartial, careful and eco nomical administration to all the different interests that make tip the City of Port land. Mr. Rowe Is not an extremist. He will give every man all that he Is entitled to nnder the law. The citizens of Portland are heartily supporting Mr. Rowe for tho Republican nomination for Mayor, because Mr. Rowe is a man that all Republicans can sup port with enthusiasm. ROWE REPUBLICAN CLUB. COLEMAN IN FOR MURDER Waives Preliminary Examination and Bound Over to Grand Jury. Pale and thin from the trying exper iences through which he has passed, and from illness, John T. Coleman was ar raigned before Municipal Judge Hoguo yesterday morning by Deputy District Attorney Haney. The prisoner was in charge of Sheriff Tom Word. Through Attorney Roger B. Sinnott, Coleman waived the reading of the com plaint, charging murder in the first de gree, and also waived preliminary hear ing. Judge Hoguc Immediately bound the prisoner over to the grand jury, with out bonds. Coleman Is charged with the murder of Edna Hoffman, in a room above the notorious Favorite saloon. Fourth and Couch streets. He was jealous of her. It is alleged, and killed her for revenge. Coleman fled from the scene, and for 24 hours could not be located. He was finally discovered on board a passenger train, bound for Tacoma, Wash. The Sheriff at Chehalls was notified, and took the accused man to the County Jail. While on the way there, Coleman sud denly -drew a razor from his shoe and slashed his throat. "He was returned to Portland the following day by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, and has .been kept under close guard ever since. For a time he hovered between life and death at Good Samaritan Hospital. While in the County Jail, Coleman took cold and sneezed. It was feared at the time that the act might cause his death, but he Is believed now to be out of- dan ger so far as his recent illness is concerned. General Kfllfeather Talks on Practical Politics . i They call him General Killfcather. Why. I Vlo not not know. Presumably, however, because he is a Democrat and a politician. It is trite but true -that some few men are born with titles, ome- achieve them . and still others 'have titles thrust upon them. I imag ine they had to hold VGjeneral" Kill feather while he got his. He is undeniably Irish and Demo cratic He 'bears the scars of many po litical battles in this particular prov ince. He'ls something of a hero, for it requires much of courage to retain a zest for the struggle through the long nights of gloom which intervene be tween Democratic successes in "Oregon. During these still watches he has re mained faithful to his cause, and great er fidelity than this "hath no man. . -T don't think I want to sayany thlng," was how he answered my In vitation to expatiate yesterday after noon, but being Irish and a Democratic politician it was simply Impossible for "him' to make that answer final. "Tb not Vlolng much In this cam paign. Of course I'm attending the meetings and doing what I can for this men Lane, but J'm not on the eemalt- , tee, and don't know,, much afeetft it. -' Ale-x Sweek s the ssan Jfor you to talk to." .He kaows what s likely to "hap pen." . .

"It's a cinch that Lane will enforce the laws If he's elected, and I think he will be. This question of a.now Mayor "doesn't liaye as much to do with the whlskyquestlqn'as lots of people seem to think. The people arcgettlng dust thrown In their eye's on the saloon business, while the contractors arc hav ing a picnic wilh the taxpayers. "You can't legislate drinking out. If .a man wants to drink he's agoing to, and if ho doesn't want to he has that privi lege. Tou can't reform the people down at Erickson's .and it isn't any use to try. The churcnes have been stirring that matter up too much and It won't help any. I believe In-liberty and don't want to see lu-closed-up town. I "don't want It too wUe open neither, but you can't put the .town out of business by the Municipal League runnln' things. The Democratic party has always been accused of being a whisky party, isn't it? Well, I "don't think we're going to be inconsistent this year. The voters ought to 'do a lot more thinking about- material matters than moral waves, and contracts certainly are material. But I dont know much about the situatioa. Teu ought to see Alex Sweek." . It will be observed frosa the ferege ing that "General" 5CI11 feather is prac tical. Practical aad a politic tern. Also a contractor whe .night jK-ot by aDea ocratic victory la Portias.
