THE MORNING OREGONIAy. WEDNESD&r, MAY 24, 1905. OQLSELLING IT viira is Manning Says It Will Not Be Permitted at the Meet. WORD SAID TO BE WILLING Attorneys Tell -3Icinbers or llaclng Association SupremeCourt Decis ion Docs Xot Apply Unless ' Nuisance Is Declared. Despite all denials, it has become known that District Attorney Manning has said a big emphatic "no" as re gards poolseiling at the Irvington race track next July. Sheriff Word closed the poolrooms in Portland. Sheriff Word and the Dis trict Attorney waste little love upon one another. Sheriff Word is connected by marriage to the family of A. R. Diamond, president of the Multnomah Fair Association. The Sheriff was in ollned to hold poolseiling at a race track to be an entirely different mat ter from a city poolroom. Ufr-. Ulr Munninn- cow Vita chiDT. to'fcwj-Mr' Wordn1tuj.oi4 his own ulphur a3ra molasses. The Supreme Court of the State of Oregon has 'declared poolrooms a nuisance. Tnerefore, said Mr. Manning to himself, why isn't poolseiling at a racetrack a nuisance, too? If Sheriff Word was In clined to let poolseiling go on all the more reason why the District Attorney should exercise his prerogative and get out an ax. The ofilcials of the Multnomah Fair Association are reported to have made a nttl deal with Mr. Manning when tne Supreme Court's decision was an nounced. Poolseiling was to be per mitted. If no pools could be sold at all the races would be a fizzle. Well and good until the District Attorney changed his mind. It was reported that Mr. Manning and Mr. Diamond had a little talk yes terday, which ended in a row, the Dis trict Attorney declaring never a pool should be sold at the track at any time during the meet. Both say nothing of tne kind happened. Mr. Manning says he will announce his position in a day or two. Other officials of the association say prominent attorneys have given them an opinion to the effect that poolseil ing at a track cannot be classed as a poolroom, and that to stop the bookies it will be necessary to declare the en tire track, grandstand, stables, fence and horses nuisances. They also de clare that the race meet will be held and the demands of the public for clean sport satisfied. City Offenders Before Municipal Judge Hogue This is the land of the free and the home -f the. brave, but a person who gets caught by a policeman during the chilly hours of the early morning, having no excuse to offer for being on the streets. Is up against it in Portland. This stern fact has Impressed itself upon Fred Loef fell, who was caught at 3 A. M. yesterday by Patrolman Foster, after two shots wore fired by the officer. Loeffell ran out of an. alley in North Portland, and as this was a peculiar thing to do at such an 'hour of the morning. Foster called upon him to halt. Loeffell ran the swifter. ' Stop, or I'll shoot." yelled Foster. Shoot, and Heaven bless you," replied Loeffell. or words tJrthat effect. And then Foster fired two shots In rap id succession. Loeffell dropped to the ground, badly frightened. He was not struck by cither bullet, but fell for safety. Loeffell could not tell why he was out at that hour, and he was carted to police headquarters by Price and Hills' ex press, and locked in the City Jail by Captain Bailey. In the Municipal Court. Loeffell ap peared, with other offenders, and was still unable to give a clear account of himself, or to tell what object he had in being out fo late and running so rapidly from the alley. He said he could bring prominent people into court to testify as to his good character, among them G. Y. Harry, the labor loader. Judge Hogue. continued the case for that purpose until this morning. Hugh Wolfcr, aged 20 years, was held to await the action of the grand Jury josterday. whon Judge Hogue heard some of the evidence against him. on a charge f larceny from a store. More specifical ly, he was accused of stealing at least $75 from the grocery store of M. E. Godfrey. 258 Russell street. Young Wolfer was employed as a clerk In the grocerj- store, and had the respon sibility of balancing the boos and hand ling the cash. He experienced difficulty, apparently, in defining the difference bc twecsi money belonging to 7n employer and that belonging to himself. Affinal accounting was demanded by Mrs. God frey, who was in charge of the store dur ing the absence of her husband, who is in attendance upon the Presbyterian Gen eral Assembly, at Winona Lake, lnd. Detective Hartman was called into the. case, and after closely questioning? Wolfcr, the latter admitted taking at least $75. He was placed under arrest and taken to police headqu arters. His bonds wero fixed at $500, and he had to go to the County Jail. Paul Pongids was before Judge Hogue yesterday on a charjjc of disorderly con duct. The defendant is employed in the California building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and walks from his lodgings on North Fourth street to the Fair grounds each morning. As he finds the long distance rather mo notonous during the. early hours of the morning, he stopped, or tried to stop, a little girl who was going to a grocery store after supplies for her mother. He called to her, although she was a strang er to him, and thereby got himself ar rested. When the case was tried before Judge Hogue yesterday, Pongids was found guilty and was fined $50. Farmer Seriously Injured. Henry Huhman. a farmer residing about one mile and a half south of Cor nelius, Washington County, was severely Injured at noon Saturday last while mak ing a footbridge over Tualatin BJver. It appears that a tree had fallen across the Etream, and while engaged with his 16-year-old son In Improvising a footbridge of its trunk, his- foot slipped and he was precipitated to the bed of the creek, a. distance of 15 feet, striking on his head and shoulders, from the effects of-which he was rendered unconscious for several hours. The youth -was afraid to leave his father while he was in that condition, but pluckily bathed the injured man's fate with water until he had recovered consciousness, when assistance was re-cured- and" Huhman removed to his resl- M dence, where he is now resting as easily as possible, although srtill in a dangerous condition, his left arm being partially paralyzed, and the shock having other wise affected his nervous organization. The injured man is the father of Miss Anna M. Huhman, a clerk In the City Health Department, who was hastily summoned to the bedside of her parent. THAT FIFTEEN PER CENT Robert J. O'Ncll Explains Its Pur pose and Commends It. rOHTLAND. May 23. To the Editor.) A kickers meeting vat hrld in South Portland the other night at which oratory prevailed and resolutions were adopted. As is often the case, amid .the flow of eloquence, the facta were lost sight of. -The resolutions atate that it Is proposed to amend section 407 of the city charter by making the penalty for delinquent improvement assessments 15 per cent. Instead of the now existing law of g per cent. Nothing of the kind I? proposed, and there is no such existing law at the pres ent time there is no penalty at all for de linquency, section 407 of the charter merely providing that an assessment shall be due and payable from the date of entry in the docket of city lirnr, and if not paid or bonded as provided by law within ten day from the date of such entry thereafter the same nball be deemed to be delinquent and shall bear Interest at the legal rate. What is pro pod is this, that there shall be required to be paid In addition to the interest a penalty of 15 per cent for failure to pay an assessment within 00 days from the date of entry in the Hen docket. It Is true that section 411 of the char ter and sections following the same provide for the sale by the Treasurer of property against which assessment, a certified by the Auditor, stand unpaid or bonded 30 days from the date of entry, and for the redemption of property so aold by the owner paying at any time within three years from the dale of the cert!fi.ti.'of sale the purchase price and 10 per ent thereof as penaltr. and inter- 5ont0 purchase prtcju'bc !e 6f 10 - f'!,,5n,t an""m the date of such certificate. Hut those provision do not reach the case, of the man who allows his as sessment to go delinquent and puts the city to tho expente or advertising the property for sale, and then either slips in the day before it is to be .sold and pays hi assessment and a Utile interest at the legal rate of 6 per cent per annum, or by means of a fictitious law suit postpones the day of reckoning awhile longer. It Is to discourage this sort of thing that the amendment Is proposed to the char ter providing for a penalty of 15 per cent in addition to the Interest on assessments paid after 5K days' delinquency. The orators at the meeting are quoted as saying that such a law would work a hard ship upon the laboring man and small property-owner. Again they are wrong. No law can work a hardship upon the man whom It does not affect. There will be no penalty for the man who pays or bonds his assess ment In time, which the small property-owner Invariably does the truth of which Statement any one who will take the trouble to examine the city Hen docket can verify. It is gen erally the large property-owner, and partic ularly certain real estate companies holding in the Interests of nonresident clients Im mense tracts of land for their speculative values who are in the habit of blocking pub lic Improvements In every possible way. and who In the course of their enterprising aplrit think it a legitimate graft to borrow money from the contractor or warrant-holder at a low rate of Interest and to put the city to the expense of advertising sales and defend ing lawsuits, which most frequently have no substantial basis and are brought merely for purposes of delay. . Any law which has a tendency to- make the city's warrants of better standing as commercial paper ought to commend Itself to the taxpayer if he looks at the matter from the standpoint of the general interest of all concerned. It la not surprising, there fore, that this amendment originally proposed in a more radical form by a committee rep resenting the principal street contractors of this city, who seek relief from the anomalous position of comparatively poor men loaning money to wealthy individuals and corporations at a low rate of Interest, in the mild form in which It was adopted by the legislature should be indorsed by the public-spirited citi zens who comprise the Taxpayers' League. This little Impersonal candidate which will have a place upon the official ballot at the coming city election may or may not carry. I do not know as to that. The referendum Is only a success when there is sufficient gen eral understanding of the subject upon which the voters are called to cast their bal lots. But remember this, that cpntracts will continue to be let by the city for sewers, bridges, pavements, etc., and the contractor will be found who is willing as now to look , for his pay to the fund created by the as sessment ordinance, but he will have one price for cash and another price "for war rants, or else he Is a fool. It Is up to- the property-owner who pays or bonds his as sessments propmtly to wy whether he shall continue to pay a discount on the warrants drawn agalnrt his property because so many do not pay or bond within a reasonable time, or whether he shall do what he can 'to make the clty'St paper of higher commercial value. HO BERT J. O'XEIL , Gambler Gets Heavy Sentence. "I have six children to support, and my husband Is serving a term of 1(0 days on the county rockpile," said Mrs. J. J. Shea yesterday. "He was among those arrest ed by Sheriff Word for playing poker in a place on Burnslde street, but while the others were fined $5 he was fined $200. Judge Frazer imposed the fine, and when I asked him about it he replied he would have no mercy on anyone who played cards. My children need clothing and food and I am too ill to work. The sentence of the Judge seems very harsh to me." "Shea has gambled for ten years,'' said Sheriff Word. "He never earned a dollar for his family. Ho went to Tonopah to gamble, but had to return for his health. I would not help the woman so long as she runs around howling, as she is doing." Mrs. 'Shea lives at 916 Rodney avenue Shshas Jujt recovered IromaAjjllncs. Kate CoilCgrjtacc Postponed. The rate conference between T. 3.

HE PAYS F0RIT $200,000 Half Block on Stark Street Opposite the Chamber ot Commerce Sold hj J. Kiernan for SI "5,000 to Unknown Purchaser. Two real estate transfers of consider able significance took place yesterday In the business district. The Washington block was sold by Edward Holman, through Bountree & Diamond, to Charles Sweeny, of Spokane, and the half block opposite the Chamber of Commerce build-, lng on Stark steet was sold by John Kiernan through Charles K. Henry to an unknown purchaser. The consideration In the first sale was $200,000 and In the second $175,000. The purchase of the Washington block gives Mr. Sweeney 200 feet frontage on Washington street, practically half of one of the most valuable blocks 'In the city. The newly-purchased building ex tends 100 feet along Washington, though it is only 50 feet deep. No . immediate change In the structure in anticipated, though at some time, according to Roun tree & Diamond, who arc acting as agents for Mr. Sweeny, a modern office building will be erected on the site. This purchase makes Mr. Sweeny -one of the largest holders of valuable proper ty In town. Moreover, a year ago hp did not own a foot. He has bought it ail, and at good figures. He has stated on many occasions that he believes Portland real estate Is one of the best possible in vestments. He now owns the Dekum block, the "Dekum homestead, an ell shaped fractional block at Seventh and Morrison, and now the Washington building, immediately adjoining the De kum building. Work on Mr. Sweeny's new seven-story building at Seventh, and -Morrison, to cover the whole ell. will begin July 1. The whole structure will be occupied by Tull & Glbbs. There are persistent ru mors that Mr. Sweeny purposes building some sort of large structure on the De kum homestead, but Mr. Rouritree. of Rountree & Diamond, snld yesterday that nothing could be given out about that at present. The Kiernan property has long been considered one of the best locations- In town for an office building, and it is un derstood that the new structure to take the place of the two-story brick now on the site will be used for that purpose. The property extends 200 feet on Stark between Third and Fourth and Is 50 feet deep. DICUSS TWO-MILL TAX CHARTEIt AMENDMENTS THEME ' AT AliBIXA MEETING. Topics of Interest to .Citizens .Are Explained, at lenglh by Sev eral Speakers. For the purpose of favoring the adop tion of an amendment to the city charter providing for a general assesment of 2 mills on all property to build bridges and make fills that cost $15,000 and upwards, and against certain other amendments, a public mass meeting was held in Gomez Hall, In Alblna last evening. Attendance was rather small. Dr. N. S. Splnny was chairman. V. K. Strode was the first speaker, who contended that as a matter of fairness the 2-mIIl tax levy amendment should be adopted. He set forth the great injustice that was holnir rinno iinHnp. thi (present system of making extensive fills ana erecting oriages at tne cost of limited districts, or by.assement of the abutting property-owners. B. M. Smith made a strong appeal for a 2-mIH tax amendment, and said that it was the only fair way of making large general -improvements, which are used by the general public Mr. Smith said that he did not own a horse and buggy, but was just as much Interested In the bridges and fills made in South Portland as the people there, although he lived in Alblna. The whole city, he declared, was equally interested In the bridges and fills, and there was no Justice In a pro vision that assessed a limited district for such i general improvements. He urged the people to work and vote for the 2-m!II tax for bridges and fills. Mr. Smith spoke against the amendment to the charter proposed to section 293. "that any bank in the City of Portland with a paid up capital of $250,000. which desires to re ceive a portion of or all of the city funds, shall, prior to the first Monday in April In each year, file with ihe City Treasurer an application for such deposits." This amendment n1r r,rtk v. .4. -and rate of interest the bank will pro- viuc. xranus are specinoa as security. Mr. Smith spoke against the ' amendmentrTJe also spoke against the adoption of ihe amendment of section 407 to the docket of city Hens, providing that 15 per cent shall be collected from person or person; de linquent In the payment of the assess ments. He declared that the amendment would work a great hardship and was In the interest of street contractors and the men who furnish the money to contrac tors to carry on their work. He urged that the voter should vote against this amendment. Mr. Smith also urged the taxpayers of Portland to examine the amendments to the city charter" that will come up for adoption at the election in June. Thomas Guincan spoke for the 2-mlll tax for bridges and fills, as the only equitable and fair method of making such Improvements. He said he was dlsap-' pointed that so few were present to hear so important a matter presented. It showed, he said, that the people were not giving the proposed amendments to tho charter much attention.- He denounced the amendment of the charter regulating the granting street-car franchises, giving them five blocks, as being In the sole In terests of the present company, the Port land Consolidated. Ralph Dunlway made a short talk in which he said that the men who caused the amendments proposed to be brought forward were not making any effort for them. They are not making any expla nations concerning them. Mr. Duniway said that it would be saffc for the people to vote against the amendments which they could not understand, but they do know what the 2-mill tax for bridges and. fills means. He said that the other amendment would be adopted unless the people awoke, and unless, they are edu cated what to do. "Unless they are Informed on the sub ject." said Mr. Dunlway. "the people will vote for a lot of amendments they know nothing about, and this is what the men who want the amendments carried expect them, to do. . They count orr the indiffer ence, of the people, and are ranking a silent campaign." Tom Plttinxer. Ir. W. I.

Heard in the Rotundas Smuggled away at the bottom of the Portland Hotel register yesterday were two name that were pas3ed unnoticed by the many, though the men who bore them were of note in their country: the one. Chevalier de Tavcrnler. the other Daniel Berthelot, and both of Paris. The former Is the engineer In chief of bridges and canals in the service of the French government, is the general man ager of all the electric lines on the west side of the Seine TMver. and the manager rot the Metropolitan Subivay.' wnich han dles more people, perhaps. In a year than any electric system in the world. Sir. Berthelot Is the manager of the new power station now under course of con struction at Saint Denis, the historic old town near Paris, which station, when completed, will yield 30.000 horse-power and be the largest electric station in France. -The two gentlemen came to the United States to make a study of the railroad conditions here, and to attend the inter national railway congress which has just adjourned after a session in Washington, D. C After attending the conference the travelers visited the Baldwin Locomotive Works, paid a visit of Inspection to the Xew York subway, went to see the power stations at Niagara Falls and then trav eled through the South, afterwards visit ing the Yellowstone Park and San Fran cisco. They came to Portland to pay a short visit td the Exposition grounds, their time being so limited that it is impossi ble for them to remain until the opening. They will return by way of Chicago in order to visit the Pullman car shops and will after that go to Franc by way of Xew York. While in Portland they paid a visit to General Manager Worthlngton. of the O. R. &. X., and discussed western railroad conditions with him. They are much in terested in the railroad operations of the United States, and' especially of the mountain regions, paying particular at tention to the feats of engineering by which the Denver & Rio Grande led Its tracks through the Royal Gorge and over the Rocky Mountains. Yesterday afternoon the travelers dis cussed the American railroads as seen through the eyes of a Frenchman and found them a little too slow. They ex pressed surprise that there were not more double-tracked lines running through the Eastern portion of the Nation, where the population Is dense, though they realized that the number of 'the systems pfeT came7 to a great degree the necessity for such arrangerfienc as It cxltts in France. The -t.hW dtaktf4nce. however, waa noted in the Height of the trains, Jt appearing that tho American train Is of lighter build than those run In France. They will leave today for their return to the East, and will have spent a couple of months in the United States before re turning to Paris. AT THE THEATERS What the Prc Asents Say. YSAYE IS COMING.
