THE MORNING- OREGONIAN. SATURDAY; MAY 13, 19U5. TWO-MILL BRIDGE , TUX IS FAVOBE South Portland Citizens Adopt Commendatory Reso- . lutions. CALL !GN ELECTORS TO ACT VarloHS Topics of Public Interest Are Discussed in Mass Meeting, and Advice Is Given on Best Policy to Pursue. To boom the two-mill bridge tax, 50 citi zens, mostly from South Portland, at & gathering: at First and' Sheridan streets last night, called for mass meetings all over the city for discussion of the sub ject; declared themselves for annexation to the city of the area between Mount Tabor, and the present eatern boundary of the city and of the area between St. Johns and the northeast part of the city; de nounced the "street railway franchise" amendment as intended to give the Fort land Consolidated Railway Company "per petual and exclusive" franchises, to streets; scored the amendment which would raise the penalty on delinquent Im provement assessments from 6 to 15 per cent as certain "to work hardship on the laboring man and the small property owner": assailed the "security for city funds amendment" as put up "to benefit two banking institutions of this city, an unjust measure, dangerous to all public enterprises"; roasted the Taxpayers League, which has been pulling for the disfavored amendments and against the two-mill bridge tax, and called its mem bers "very wealthy citizens" in league with the. street railway company. Question to Be Voted Upon. All the foregoing questions will be voted on by electors of Portland At the city election, June 3. The resolutions were adopted with a whoop and nobody raised his voice against them. They declare last night's meeting as disfavoring all the measures which H- Learu Indorse and as following thor: which the League opposed. The purpose of the bridge tax Is to shift frm special assessment districts, as in South Portland, to the whole city, the , cost of bridges across gulches. The al leged aim of the street railway franchise amendment is to facilitate grants of fran chises by the City Council for short ex tensions and connecting tracks: of the de-" llnquent assessment amendment to pre vent needless delays in payment of im provements: of the "security for city funds" amendment, to safeguard deposits of city funds not by surety companies but by deposit of standard securities. Appoint n Committee. In order to make sure that property owners of South Portland arc not paying for more earth than is contained in the street fills for which assessments are about to levied by the Council, the meet ing delegated two of its number, V. K. Strode and A. J. Fanno, to attend the next session of the Council and protest against levying the assessments until the City Engineer shall have made a new surv ey. The gathering seemed to be will ing to pay the cost of the ljlls, provided the cost of the bridges could be put on the entire city. Publication of 15,000 dodgers as adver tisement of the mass meetings was au thorized, and a committee was named to raise funds from Interested property-owners. The committee is B. F. Jones, D. L. McLeod and Thomas Guinean. The speakers were; Mark O'Neill, L. Zimmerman, President of the City Coun cial; Thomas Guinean, George G. Will iams. G. IV. Allen, Ralph R. Dunlway. V. K Strode, B. M. Smith, William Horan, B. F. Jones and Mrs. Woodcock. Others present were: E. B. Colwell, W. Y. Masters. L. Wilhelm. "Citizen" Par ker, A. J. Fanno. S. C. Armltage, A. X. Gamble. W. T. Bumpy, H. A. Belding. E. A. Sessions aJid Judge Caplcs, who acted as chairman. Two-Mill Tax Resolution. The resolution for the 2-mill bridge tax ! follows: Resolved. That we believe it is for the bct interests of the city and citizen that all bridges without which business centers cannot be reached ,or communication had are m es wntlal and necessary to the citizens In the aggregate as city hall, parks, ferries and public utilities connecting and consolidating suburban Interests generally with commercial cctlons. That the bridges across the Mar quam Gulch arc public improvements of fuch a character and nature as nhould be paid for by the city at large. That the Thurman-strect bridge, known as the Bilch-Creek Bridge, bridges crossing Sullivan's Gulch, and alt bridges of a like nature, should be classed as public Improvements, and paid for by the city Instead of by special district assessments; and to this end and purpose we entreat all enter prising and public-spirited citizens at the com ing June election to vote "yes" on section 114, taxing the whole city for all such bridges. Preamble to Resolutions. The resolutions are preceded by the fol lowing preamble: Whereas. The Taxpayers' League, a self-constituted organization composed of about 67 cry wealthy citizens of the City of Portland, one-third of whom are active members and stockholders of the "Portland Consolidated Rail way Company, are seeking to amend section 105 of the city charter, a ruse by which the rertland Consolidated Railway Company may acquire an exclusive franchise on all the streets In the City of Portland without any cost or compensation therefor; and tt hereas. That In the event of the Taxpay ers' lieague effecting ich change of the city hartw at the coming June election, the Port land Consolidated Railway Company will hare an exclusive franchise on all the street for 2600 feet, or five blocks, on either elde of all It trackage' now in operation, thereby ex cluding all competition and subjugating the property rights of residents and citizens to the will of the corporation: and Whereas. The said Taxpayers" League has proposed an amendment to section 407 of the city charter by which all delinquents for the assessment of improvements shall be made to pay & penalty of 15 per cent Instead of the now existing law of 9 per cent; and Whereas, The Taxpayers League has pro posed as amendment to section 293 of -the city charter, known as the "security for city funds." the effect of which would be to de posit all city moneys with two certain banking Institutions of the City of Portland, upon such banking institutions securing ald city monies by street railway and other bonds; and Whereas, The Taxpayers' League is opposed to the Colwell bill and to the City of Portland paying for bridges which are necessary Im provements and public utilities, and which are beneficial to all Its citizens and Its public enterprises. CRANK AT WHITE HOUSE Tries to Force Entrance and Fights Six 3Ien at Once. WASHINGTON, May 12. A man who said his name is Daniel Constable, an Italian, was arrested by Policeman Hop kins, while trying to force an entrance at the rear door of the White House about midnight tonight. He was locked up at the police station. When questioned as to .the reason for being on the White House grounds, he declared a spirit had entered his head and told him that his murdered wife was to be found in the White House. The man was hatless. He was first seen by a ne gro, climbing over the iron fence sur rounding the grounds of the White House and attention -was then attracted by the sound of an attempted entrance at the rear door. He was tugging frantically at the door and shouting: "Frances, It is L" Policeman Hopkins rushed up and hurled him to the ground, when he made a dash for liberty, and six men were nec essary to hold him TWO MORE HAVE DIED Fatalities at Harrlsburg Total Twenty-Four, and More Are Likely. HARRISBURG, Pa.. May 12. Two more victims of the wreck of the Cleveland and Cincinnati , express on the Pennsylvania yesterday morning died today, bringing1 the total to 22. Two others are in a critical condition. Sixteen of the dead have .been Iden tified. The bodies of the others are so horribly charred and burned that it is doubtful if they will ever be posi tively Identified. Samuel Shubert, the New York the atrical manager, and Max Stetthemier, a New York manufacturer, died today. Joseph Eber, of New York, and Mrs. Pierce, of Cleveland, are at the hospi tal and are not expected to live. AH the others are expected to recover. Shubert s mother and two sisters, and his brother, J. J. Shubert. who came here from New York yesterday as soon as they learned of the accident, were witn him when ne died. His family physician, Dr. O. M. Lelser, who came here wlta a trained nurse, and Solomon Manhelmer, a friend of the theatrical manager, -were also with him. Abe Thathelmer. one of Mr. Shubert's personal representatives; and his attor ney, William Klein, of New York, who were with him in the wreck, have almost entirely recovered from their injuries and will accompany the body to New York. Mr. Shubert and his companions were on their way to Pittsburg to close a lease for a theater in that city, and were among the first to escape from the wreck. The Coroner, George C. Krause. of Har rlsburg, will not hold an inquest until after the railroad company has com pleted its Investigation into the cause of the disaster. Of the 115 Injured. 106 received treatment at the hospital. Of this number 50 re mained there, and the six deaths that have occurred leaves the number still there 44. Several of the Injured are in hotels. United States Senator Knox, whose daughter, Mrs. J. H. TIndel, and her hus band, escaped from the wreck with slight injuries and were taken to the Executive mansion, arrived here last night and took Mr. and Mrs. Tindel tc his farm at Val ley Forge. No estimate oZ the financial loss of the railroad property has been made by the company officials, although it is1 believed that $100,000 will not cover the loss of the passenger train alone. Shubert's liisc as Theatrical .Man. NEW YORK, May 12. Sam S. Shubert, who died at Harrlsburg, Pa., today, from injuries sustained in yesterday's railroad wreck, was one of the most successful of younger theatrical managers in the country. From a newsboy in Syracuse less than 20 years ago, he and his brother Lee rose through the ranks, until now the partnership controls several theaters in this city, a dozen or more in other cities In this country and one in London. It was only recently that they secured control of the London house the Waldorf. In addition to the theaters the partner ship owns several companies which have produced successful plays. ELECTIONS ARE DELAYED United Brethren Have Lively Debate. Sentiment for Merger Strong. TOPEKA. Kan., May 12. Today was purely a business session with the gen eral conference of the United Brethren at Representative Hall. The election of church officials was on the pro gramme, but was postponed until May 17. Bishop E. P. Kephard. D. D., presiding, favored this movement Fraternal delegates from other de nominations were allowed a voice in the proceedings. Several brief ad dresses and responses on the condition of churcn work and its betterment were Indulged in. Numerous reports were read, among them beingr one by Dr. Bell on "Missions," and remarks by Dr. Weakly on "Church Erections." A committee was appointed to govern the conference from day to day, and the regular rules of order of previous conferences were set aaiJe. The first report of this committee was to reverse the order of elections. Tills report makes the election of of ficers to commence May 1, and to con tinue each afternoon until completed. Heretofore the elections have beea concluded in one day. After a spirited debate the report was adopted by a vote of ltt6 to 105. This shows a very even division of the conservative an.l the more progressive or radical ele ments. The order of election, as reported, follows: Bishops, publishing' agents, trustees of printing establishments, editor of the Telescope," editor of the Watchman, editor of the Review, edi tor of Sunday school literature, gen eral secretary of the Sunday School Board; members of the Sunday School Board; mission secretary; mission board, church erection, secretary, man ager of the United Brethren Seminary, trustees and executive council of the Y. P. C. E. The indications arc that the South and the Pacific Coast will each be giv en a bishop of the six to be elected. A lively debate resulted from a propo sition to allow delegates money enough to pay railroad fare and boardbllls. A strong minority favored payment of dele gates for their time, but was voted down. Dr. J. W. .Sprinkle, of Ashland, O., ad dressed the conference tonight. There is much campaigning over the election of officers, and It looks as if there would be many changes. A strong sentiment has arisen in sup port of the proposition to merge with the Congregational and Methodist Protestant Churches. Awaits Forms of Etiquette. ST. PETERSBURG, May 12. The trans fer of Ambassador Cassini from Wash ington to Madrid was officially gazetted today under date of May 9, but the ap pointment of Baron de Rosen to succeed Count Cassini at Washington has not vet been gazetted. In fact. Emperor Nicholas Is awaiting a iormal notification that Baron de Rosen is persona grata to the United .States before signing 'his de cree of nomination. Not the slightest doubt exists here that the Baron is per fectly acceptable to the Government at Washington, where, besides his nign repu tatlon as a diplomat, he enjoys the per sonal acquaintance of not only many otn cials, but of President Roosevelt himself. TNTo Damages for Slander. DALLAS. Or., May 12. The jury in the case of Rev. J. A Mears vs. W. S. Mc- Clain. asking $5000 damages for alleged defamation of character, brought in a verdict this morning for the defendant. The verdict was a surprise, as the in structions of the court were considered decidedly in favor of the plaintiff. Rev. Mr. Mears accused McCIain of dr. culating a story that he bad seen him in i compromising poflti-on with a woman of the Buena Vista aalsaBoraeed. BELLINGER IS DEAD (Continued from First Page.) right without fear or favor. I have met him at many public functions since be has occupied his place on the bench, and he was always filled with good humor and his speeches were bright and witty. It is indeed a great sorrow to me that he has been called from his services of this life." C. J. Reed, who was, perhaps, the most Intimate personal friend Judge Bellinger had in the city, paid the following tribute to his friend yesterday afternoon: "if I were asked to mention one charac teristic of Judge Bellinger that impressed me more than any other in my long and intimate acquaintance with him, I should say the humanity of the man. I know of no man possessing more admirable quali ties than Judge Bellinger, his strict In tegrity, his unbounded charity, his keen wit and strong sense of humor, and his splendid Intellect made him, I think, the most lovable man I have ever known." Governor Chamberlain, who has been associated with Judge Bellinger for many years, both in law and In politics. In speaking of the Judge said: "The death of Judge C. B. Bellinger is one of the greatest losses that this state has ever sustained. I became acquainted with him shortly after my arrival in Ore gon in 1S76, and have known him quite In timately ever since. His position as re porter of the Supteme Court, for a num ber of years, brought him Into intimate relation with the bench, the bar and the people of the whole state, and I doubt if there was any man more generally known by all, for his many excellent qualities of head and heart. "As a member of the bar, he was al ways courteous to his brethren, and dur ing his service upon the bench as Judge of the Circuit Court in Multnomah Coun ty, and as District Judge of the United States Court, he endeared himself to all, litigants and lawyers alike. He was abso lutely fearless In any cause which he es poused, and his ability made him a dan gerous opponent In every controversy, and on the bench he endeavored to the utmost of his ability to arrive at a just conclusion in every case presontcd to him. "He was by nature Impulsive, and some times started out in the trial of a cause upon a theory antagonistic to that es-1 poused by counsel, out wnenever ne was convinced that his theory was wrong, he never hesitated to admit it and to adopt that which seemed to him to be the just and proper one on all occasions. "Judge Bellinger was truly a man of the common people. His sympathies were with them at all times, and he might 1usK ho drsltmatv1 iik thi rzreat com moner of the bench." He was a man of' peculiarly attractive manners, affable in his Intercourse witli his fellows, a de lightful conversationalist, and loved by all who came in contact with him. It will be difficult to fill his place, as a citi zen, as si lawyer, and as a jurist, and his death, coming at this particular juncture, is peculiarly unfortunate, not only to the people, but to those whose causes were soon to be tried in his court." "It is a privilege to express the sorrow caused by the death of Judge Bellinger and something of one's appreciation of his life services and charming personal ity," said Judge John B. CIcland. "I have known Judge Bellinger 15 years. We have been opposed to each other in litigation, associated In considering disputed ques tions, and I have appeared as counsel In cases where he presided as Judge. Pro fessional intercourse has been supple mented by cordial social relations extend ing over the entire period of our acquain tance. Judge Bellinger was an acute and sagacious trial lawyer. He carefully pre pared his cases for trial, and expected others to do the same. His treatment of his professional brethren in the courtroom was courteous and out of the courtroom kindly and considerate. On the bench Judge Bellinger was remarkably quick to perceive the real question at Issue, but willing to hear patiently. He ardently de elred to administer exact justice in every case. "He will be remembered as an able and successful lawyer, an upright and satis factory Judge. The death of such an one is a public loss that cannot be readily or easily forgotten. It is not, however, with the public loss we are just now most con cerned. We mourn because he was a genial, kind, thoughtful, sincere man, one who always gave a cheerful greeting, a helpful suggestion, a warm hand-clasp, and is now gone from among us." "One of the first lawyers with whom I became acquainted on my arrival in Port land. 22 years ago. was Judge Bellinger. He frequently called at the office of the late ex-Senator James K. Kelly. with whom 1 was then studying law, and be tween whom and Judge Bellinger there seemed to be the closest tics of personal friendship." said Judge Arthur L. Frazer. "Well do I remember how like a burst of sunshine his visits were. He had always Jokes to tell, and his conversation was filled with bright and witty sayings. His cheery, kindly nature, and his keen intel lect at once made a deep Impression upon me. "Afterwards I had occasion to feel and remember how strong he was as a law yer. His extensive knowledge of the law, together with his active and bright intel lect, made him one of the hardest of ad versaries and the most valuable of asso ciates- Judge Bellinger for many years has stood in the foremost rank of the jurists of Oregon. His work assisted ma terially In the upbuilding of the state. He was distinguished as a leader and a think er in whatever line of work he undertook. No man was more loved and respected by the members of the bar. I know of no one who had a larger clrclo of friends. He was public-spirited, broad-minded, just and generous. He was an able lawyer, a learned and impartial Judge, a delightful companion, an upright citizen. His loss will be deeply felt by his associates on the bench, by the members of the bar who practiced in his court, an'd by those engaged in the numerous charitable and other public enterprises to which he gave generous and valuable assistance, but most of all by his legion of loving friends, for few men have ever been more dearly loved." "Judge Bellinger's family and his num berless friends generally and the people of our State and nation at large have suffered. In hte untimely death, a great and in some respects irreparable loss. He was a most lovable man in the varied walks of life, ana was ever universally respected for his many good qualities. Professionally he was a very able lawyer and officially a most excellent State and Federal Judge," said Judge M. C. George. "His death at this trying period of his judicial duties is particularly unfortunate for I believe that no man could or would have held a more equal poise of the scales of justice or administered the law of the land or tried the important Issues of fact with greater ability, fairness and impar tiality to all Interests involved than Judge Charles B. Bellinger. "Personally. I deeply feel the loss in his death. For nearly 25 years it has been my privilege to esteem him as a personal friend and I greatly deplore his death." "At a time when sorrow is poignant any attempt at a critical estimate of one whom I have long considered it friend Is impossible. The temptation to laud his splendid -qualities of heart and intellect Is Irresistable. I believe I was arapng the first persons who suggested to him the Idea of succeeding Judge Deady. That fact emphasizes my estimate of his judicial abilities, and his answer to me at the time throws a light upon his char acter: M have always been a good deal of a Democrat and have cared but little for place,' " said Judge Alfred F. Sears, Jr. "I have seen much of him in public and private life; he has- always observed a real democratic simplicity, utterly free from ostentation or pretense. "When I first arlved In Oregon, Judge Bellinger was the sole Judge of the State Circuit. Before that time he bad not achieved prominence In his profession; since then he has always been among the first. "1 practiced before him as a Judge, have been associated with him In impor tant causes, and I have been opposed to him at the bar; I have, too, known him well in social life. His impulses were all sound; his mind essentially sane; I be lieve he never did a consciously wrong act In his life. "Judge Bellinger was alert, swift in the formation of conclusion, but not tenacious in adherence to opinion, even when expressed. He recognized the falli bility of human judgment and was there fore peculiarly free from pride of opinion. I said at the time of Judge Deady's death that his successor could not have as strong a formative Influence upon our laws as he who had grown up with them, who was indeed the author of many. But It must be admitted now that Judge Bellinger has -had occasion to deal with many and Important matters and that he has been found not unequal to the exacting demands of his office. "An irreparable loss has been sustained by our State and nation." SUPKEMK COUKT MOURNS. Justices Feel Judge Bellinger's Dentil as Personal Loss. SALEM, Or., May 12. (Special.) Upon being Informed of the death of Judge Bel linger. Chief Justice C. E. Wolverton, "f the Supreme Court, said: "In the demise of Judge Bellinger the bench has been deprived of one of tbo most distinguished Jurists of the West. His learning was broad and exact, and his keen and incisive intellect applied it with unerring aptitude to the difficult legal matters with which be was called upon to deal. His decisions rank high In dic tion, as well as In apt, clear and cogent statements of the law involved, and hly discriminating mind has enabled him to detect and unfold with great accuracy and good -ensc the lineaments and po tency of right and justice as they abldS In every cause. Beyond these brilliant and safe qualities of the mind in legal acumen, he was absolutely fearless and upright as a jurist and prompt In tho maintenance of judicial propriety in every emergency. Aside from his judicial career. Judge Bellinger was a most companionable and lovable man and has contributed a boun tiful share to the history of. the state, lie has held many positions of honor and trust and especially Is his work In con nection with the Oregon Historical So ciety to be commended. He leaves a sumptuous heritage to the people of the state and the Northwest, who mourn his loss with deep concern." Justice Moore Praises. Justice F. A. Moore said: "My ac quaintance with the Hon. C. B. Bellinger began when he was Judge of the Fourth Judicial District of this state and I was a struggling young lawyer At the bar. I tried many cases before him and. so long as I retain my memory. I shall never forget his wonderful kindness to me at that crucial period. The power of his penetrating mind to grasp the truth from an Intricate mas3 of facts, his extensive knowledge of the law. his absolute fair ness to parties litigant, and his great patience with contending counsel, have endeared him to the legal profession. Judge Bellinger was ever active in main taining right and fearless In denouncing wrong. His keen intellect enabled him to readily detect sham and hypocrisy, while his Innate sense of justice always made him the friend of the innocent and of the oppressed. The bench and bar will not be alone in mourning his departure, for the country at large has lost a true and noble citizen." Justice Bean Feels Loss. Justice R. S. Bean said: "It is my great pleasure to have known Judge Bellinger intimately for many years, and I feel a personal loss In his death. He was a great and a good man and a great law yer.

(Spcclal.)-News of the death of Judge Bellinger was re ceived with expressions of deep sorrow by residents of Salem who knew him. Among his- many friends here none were closer than Asahel Bush, the pioneer newspaper man and banker. When Mr. Bush came to Oregon In 1SG0 he carried a letter from Samuel R. Thurston. Ore gon's Delegate In Congress. Introducing him to Judge Bellinger's father. Before he reached Oregon Mr. Bellinger had died. On his arrival Mr. Bush formed the acquaintance of C. B. Bellinger, then a boy on the farm south of Salem, and a strong friendship has since existed be tween them. When he heard today of the death of Judge Bellinger. Mr. Bush said: "He Was one of my early and always most valued friends. With all who knew him, I mourned his untimely death. The uncompromising honesty, ability and courage he brought to the discharge of every public duty were born with him. His death is not only a loss to his friends but a greater loss to the state and country." SENATOR FULTON EXTOLS. Thinks It Will Be Difficult to Equal Bellinger's Service. ASTORIA. Or.. May liMSpecial.) When Informed by The Oregonlan corre spondent thl? evening of the death of the late Judge C. B. Bellinger. United States Senator Fulton spoke mo3t feelingly of the loss sustained by the state in the death of the able jurist. He said: "I most profoundly deplore the death of Judge Bellinger. To say that he was a great Jurist and a just judge, an ex ceptionally strong, upright and char, ltably-mlnded man is to say much, yet, spoken of Judge Bellinger, it is but a plain statement of the simple truth. It leaves, however, much, unsaid that it is necessary for one to know In order to fully appreciate the man: much that served to ender.r him to his friend and to enhance their admiration and respect for his character and abilities. "It !j difficult to measure or exprew in words the loss sustained by a community or a state in the death of one who has taken so prominent. Important and help ful a part In the. world's work as he did, yet every heart Instinctively follows and knows that loss is distinct and great. 1 have been personally acquainted with Judge Bellinger for nearly a quarter of a century and I know full well It will b hard to find another to give service such as his." linger had all the qualities of the beat manhood.

CHICAGO, May 12.-A dispatch to the Record-Herald from San Francisco says: "The Norwegian Consul here has. re ceived an order for provisions to be sent north to a whaling Arctic explorer, who" sailed from Norway on June 17, 1903, in an endeavor to find the Northwest Passage. From the fact that supplies are to be sent north by the Pacific Ocean, it is argued that this great quest of Arctic explorers for more than 400 years has been successful and that the explorer will soon appear on the Pacific Coast.
