STUBBORN FIGHT AT FIRST Several Ballots Are INecessary Be fore a Verdict for the Defend ant Is Finally Returned and He Is Freed. After deliberations lasting seven hours, the jury in the Charles E. Rumelin case returned a verdict of not guilty at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rumelin was not present in the courtroom when the verdict was read, and neither were hia attorneys, James Gleason and C E. S. Wood. There was a stubborn fight in the Juryroom before an agreement was reached. On the first ballot the Jury Stood seven for acquittal and five for con viction. The ballot changed to eight to four, and after considerable discussion the ballot was ten to two, and at 5 o'clock the Jury came together. At the former trial the Jury disagreed, standing eeven to five in favor of Rumolln. The charge against him was that he offered a bribe to William C. Elliott when the latter was City Engineer to have El liott find fault with the bid of the Pa cific Construction Company, of Everett, Wash., forthe construction of the Front street bridge, bo that the bid would be rejected by the Executive Board, and the bid of the Pacific Construction Company, of San Francisco, accepted. The differ ence between the two bids was 55000. El liott testified that Rumelh. told him there was $5000 in it, and he (Elliott) would re ceive his share. George Scoggln testified that Rumelin was active in trying to have the bid of the Everett company re jected. Rumelin positively denied the statement made by Elliott, and called witnesses to show that he instigated the investigation of the Tanner Creek sewer scandal which caused Elliott to lose his position, and El liott waa attempting to secure revenge.

NOT YET MAYOR, HE SAYS Until Ho Is Inducted Into Office, He Declares It "Would Bo Un seemly to Announce What . He Will Do. One week from today George' H. Wil liams will lay down tho burdens of Mayor, and Dr. Harry Lane win take them up. because, says the charter, the Mayor "shall be elected by the people and hold ofBce for two years from July 1 succeed ing his election." On that day the new Mayor will announce bis Chief of Police, his City Engineer, his Building Inspector, his Plumbing Inspector, one member of the Civil Service Commission, and. If he desires to clean out the present city gov ernment completely, new Water, Park and Health Boards. And on the following Wednesday, the new City Council will hold its first regular meeting, because the charter says, "on the first Wednesday in July next following any general city election, there must be i regular meeting of the Council." At that time, "or as soon thereafter as practica ble, the Council shall choose by ballot one of its mombor?. who shall be designated the President of the Council." Several in the Running. Several men are in the running for pres ident, chief of them being John P. Sharkey and Dan Kellaher. Councllmen-at-Large. and Henry A. Betdtng. of the Sixth Ward. And Is Dr. Lane Just as mum as ever about hl appointments? Yes, Indeed, for be says It would not become him to make appointments before v he shall be Mayor; therefore, be will make none unII he be- come Mayor next Saturday. When asked yesterday how the Jobs would be distrib uted, he replied: : Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.' " "That's too bad," responded the Inquirer, who hoped the evil would not be so long . deferred. "Well." responded the new Mayor. ; "that's the fact and the follow who said that was it Solomon? anyhow, he vtha a wise gentleman and no mis take." and the doctor looked as If the Jeb-sceklng evil had been already suf ficient to last him many moons. "Have you many callors who desire offlcer was RskeJ. "Van. a good many. But I sought them before the eleetlon and now that thoy are coming to me I shake "hands with them just aa I did before. I've "cot a pretty strong arm, you know," and the doctor worked it up and down with a pump-handle motion, similar to that which has mado Blnger Hermann and George Brownell and Colonel' Bob Miller and Governor Cnamberlain fa mous. "Any written applications for office?" Stacks of Written Applications. "Yes, some," waving his hand over a pile of papers, strewn over his desk as t nick a Autumn leaves on Port- j lands most aroorea streets, uut tno new Mayer wouldn't tell who they were; tome of them were modest and might not like to be known any more than tho school ma'ams who get the turn-down from the School Board. "You've probably made up your mind as to seme appointments?" was ven tured. "It wouldn't be seemly for me now to tell ths contents of my mind, would it?" replied the doctor. "I'm not Mayor yot; only a common cltixen. Until I ant Mayor It would not be proper for me to make appointments. Do you think it would?" The questioner had to confess him self unable to see the matter In any other light. . In the last few days a boom has been growing for Dave Houston for Chief of Police. Houston Is a oonJuctor on the Southern Pacific running between Portland and Reseburg and Is a Dem ocrat of wide renown. With other un terrlficd brethren he has cleaved to the forlorn hope of Democratic as cendancy lo, those many years. He is a bigger man physloally than Hunt or ex-Sheriff Storey apd a man who, when taking hold of a thing, has an iron grasp. But Dr. Lane has not heard of the boom for Houston. The doctor knew Dave well, but seemed surprised when Dave's boom was mentioned. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Axemts Say.

When Mr, Ber nard comes on the stage hi appearance creates a laugh; his walk, his beard, hia - ' j assssssssssssssssssssssrTTT lar W FlTO peculiar attire, the fit of his clothes. He has been on the stage but a few minutes when you forget that ha is portraying the part of a- Hebrew.

TRIP CROWDED WITH WORK "What the Visitors Havo Seen and What They Hope to See Ac complished on the Dry Sands of the West. The Congressional Irrigation committee, which arrived in Portland yesterday af ternoon, is touring the West, making a comprehensive study of the reclamation of arid lands. There Is no junket about It; It Is a trip crowded with work, and plenty of if. The two days' visit to Portland Is the flr.st real rest the committee has enjoyed since It started on Its tour, more than three weeks ago, and. with the exception of a visit to Puget Sound tomorrow, will be the only breathing spell on the entire journey. The Congressional party organized In Kansas City on June 1. went direct to El Paso, Tex., where an Inspection wa3 made of an Irrigation project In course of con struction on the Rio Grande River. June 17 the Congressional party turned water into the recently completed canals of the Truckee-Carsoo project, Nevada, thus marking the beginning of reclamation un der a Government system, and likewise commemorating the third anniversary of the signing of the National irrigation law. Since that time the party has made a study of Irrigation conditions In Utah, has inspected two large projects which are In course of construction In Southern Idaho, as well as the recently completed Twin Falls project. In that state, and. after viewing a portion of the lands under the Malheur project. In Eastern Oregon, came direct to Portland. The Malheur County Project. The brief drive from Arcadia to Ontario afforded but scant opportunity for the -visiting Congressmen to see what Is to be done under the Malheur project, but op portunity was given to see the type of lands proposed to be reclaimed, and Irri gation under private canals demonstrated what may be expected when the Govern ment furnishes water for the entire Mal heur tract. The soli In the Malheur coun try la equal to that of any other project that has been visited; the land, for the most part, lies well, and there Is an abun dance of It. The presence of alkali, how ever, will require drainage, and this will materially Increase the cost of the project. F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the Reclamation Service, predicts a bright future for the Malheur country. He is confident that existing differences will soon be adjusted and that the actual construction of the project will result. Once the land Is Irrigated, he believes it will bo rapidly settled; the quallty of the soil, the climate, the abundance of water nnd transportation facilities combining to make It one of the moat attractive projects of the entire West. From Into advices he has received, Mr. Newell believes the wagon road com pany, owning 30,000 acres under the Malheur project, will sign up their en tire holding within the next two or three months, thereby removing the only serious obstacle that now keeps the government out of this field. Earth Will Begin Too Fly. The Malheur project, as originally planned, waa estimated to cost $30 per acre. Subsequent Investigation shows that the cost will bo $40. Many farm ers owning lands under this project fear they will not be able to pay this high price for water In ten equal an nual Installments, and they have asked the government to reduce their first payments below 54 an acre In order that they may not be hardshlpped. They are willing to make larger payments during the last few yenrs covered by their contracts. In order to bring the average up to SI. This plan Is still unJer consideration at Washington. When this question Is adjusted and a final signed- agreemnt Is made with the owners of the wagon road lands, there Is every assurance that dirt will begin to fly on the government pro ject In the Malbeur country. Everywhere the committee has heard high commendation of the officials of the Reclamation Service, who are con structing works under Government projects heretofore authorized-,. Further more, the committee Is convinced that the enforcement of the reclamation law Is In competent hands. Reclamation en gineers have proved to be men of high attainments and ability. Entertained in Portland. When the Congressional committee drew Into Portland at 2 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon, it was met at the depot by E. T. Perkins, who has charge of the Govern ment's reclamation exhibit at the Expo sition, and Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial. Club, who es corted the distinguished visitors to a spe cial car In which they were conveyed to the Fair grounda There a dainty luncheon war served In the New York building, at which Presi dent H. W. Goode extended the party a welcome on behalf of the Exposition. At the conclusion of the repast the usual order of events was speech-making. But this was dispensed with for members of the party made It known that they were, anxious to see the Exposition. President Goode accordingly led the way to pteam launches which were Jn waiting at the boat-landing In Guild's Lake, and" a pleasant trip was made about the lake. The party landed on the Peninsula, and headed direct for the Government exhibits, where more than an hour was spent In viewing the mag nificent exhibits. General satisfaction was expressed at the showing which had been made by Uncle Sam. From the Peninsula, the party crossed the Trail, saw the principal exhibit pal aces and then repaired to the city. Today they will be the guests of the city on a trolley ride about the city. Special cars will take them up at the Union Depot at 9 o'clock this morning and leave them at the Exposition grounds two hours later. Here they will be en tertained at luncheon and will spend the afternoon In sightseeing. In the even ing they have been Invited to attend the reception and ball at the American Inn In honor of Rear-Admiral Goodrich anJ the visiting officers of the Pacific squad ron.
