laying of the nocessury pipe line on shore
In caije the proposed experiment should,
not prove successful. He said he had no
doubt, however, of the undertaking being
crowned with success.
The dredge will 'be put to work digging
gravel from the harbor in the vicinity of
East Stark street, and it will be pumped
through pipes to the blocks between East
Morrison and the Sunnyside sewer on East
Alder. The fill will be 1C feet below
grade, and 1C feet above zero mark, bring
ing it about 13 feet above low water. In
order to give the dredge a thorough test
about 1000 feet of new and modern shore
pipe will bo purchased by the port, the
old pipe being worn out. The experiment,
it is expected, can be made in ten days.
The port will receive $150 a day for the
use of tho dredge.
Public Hearing: Ordered.
Through a letter from the Secretary of
War, it was ascertained that the Port of
Portland Is the proper body to take up
the matter of granting permission for the
construction of the proposed Northern Pa
cific bridge across the Willamette before
referring it to the Department in Wash
ington. In vJow of this fact, it was de
cided to hold a public hearing next Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock in the rooms
of the Port of Portland, in the City Hall,
when objections to the project will be re
ceived and taken down in writing. It is
also the desire of the Commission that
as many of the objections as possible be
reduced to writing when submitted.
The port went on, record as opposed to
the proposed change in the harbor line in
the vicinity of Waud's Point, opposite the
foot of Swan Island, for which applica
tion has been made with Major S. W.
Roossler. United States Engineers.
The Commission declined to accept the
proposition from the Portland & Seattle
Railway Company, for the use of one of
the dredges for a lump sum. in filling the
terminal yards in North Portland, and tho
secretary was Instructed to Inform the
company that the dredge could be rented
for a fixed sum by the day only. The
Portland Flouring Mills' request for the
use of a dredge was placed on file.
Bids for furnishing an eight-foot runner
for a big centrifugal pump were received
as follows: Knight & Co., $1200; Willam
ettc Iron & Steel Works. $1245; Columbia
Engineering Works, $1315. The contract
will be awarded to the lowest bidder.
Captain Obtains Rebate.
Captain Prltchard, of the British ship
Blythswood. appeared before tho board
and asked to have his bill for use of the
drydock reduced JUS, that amount having
been charged up against him while the
vessel was held on tho dock because of a
terrific gale making undocking dangerous.
The rebate was granted.
The bill of tho Willamette Iron & Steel
Works for repairs to the drydock engine's
piston-rod was ordered paid, although
some of the members considered it greatly
excessive. The bill called for $237, and
one of the members thought $40 should
havo been about right. It was explained,
however, that it was a rush order, as the
steamer Numantia was about to enter the
dock, and without the piston-rod repaired
the dock could not have been floated.
.Captain Archie Pcaso reported on the
wages paid on the dredges while the men
wore employed in making repairs to the
machinery, and it was decided that em
ployes drawing $73 or more a month are to
board themselves, while common laborers
arc to get $2.25 for a nine-hour day and
board themselves, In addition to the
wages quoted above, the employes arc
boarded by the port when the dredges arc
in operation.

RICHARDS' CASE GOES OVER
Hearing Is Set for Xcxt Wednesday
Morning. '
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgomld yester
day morning tiled an additional charge
against Thomas 1. Richards, proprietor of
an establishment at Park and Alder
streets. This latest complaint is based
on a section of the city ordinance rela
tive to the dispensing of liquors in res
taurants run In connection with barrooms,
and is the fourth count against the de
fendant. Wednesday morning of next week was
selected as the date for hearings. Rich
ards did not enter his plea yesterday, as
his attorney. C M. Idlcman, was absent
from the city, but it Is understood tho
cases will be contested. All talk of a
plea of guilty being entered lias ceased,
and a bitter fight is scheduled to take
placo between counsol'whcn the matter
comes on In court.
It was thought that perhaps Acting De
tectives Kay and Jones would Immediate
ly ask Clerk of the Municipal Court Hen
nessey for subpenas for many men and
women known by them to have 'patron
ized Richards' establishment, but they
now say they purpose waiting until next
Wednesday before getting the services, In
order to protect their cases and to give
no witness-to-bc notification in advance.
All day yesterday many persons sought
to ascertain from the officials the names
on Kay and Jones' list, but the acting
detectives smiled and kept silent regard
ing the identity of persons they intend
to call. Therefore, the matter Is as much
shrouded in mystery as ever.
Served Beer to Young Girl.
Al Wohlers, a saloonkeeper at Fifth
and Stark streets, pleaded guilty in
Judge Frazcr's court yesterday to having
served a girl 16 years old with beer In an
adjoining restaurant, on September 2L
last. Ho was fined $30, which he paid.
There were four In the party, a woman,
two nien and the girl.

Lutke Manufacturing Company
- Suffers Severely From
the Flames.
LOSS IS ABOUT $55,000
PIpcraan Injured by Falling Glass,
and Four Men Arrested by the
Police for Persisting In
Passing Fire Limits.
t
The two-story brick structure occupied
by tho Lutke Manufacturing Company
caught fire shortly after noon yesterday,
and before the flames were extinguished
by the Fire Deportment they had wrought
damage to the extent of $55,000. The
building was stocked with considerable
combustible material in the shape of
fine-grade lumber used In the manufac
turing of showcases, bank and bar fix-
PLANT OF T11K IXTKE MANUFACTURING
tures and the like, which offered ready
feed for the hungry flames. An old boiler
In the banomcnt of the building at Fourth
and Hoyt streets Is believed to have been
responsible for the blaze, which was first
discovered in that vicinity, and yoon
spread to the other portions of the build
ing. The Fire Department responded
promptly to an alarm turned in from box
C2. but the work of extinguishing the
Haines was difficult, owing to the thick
smoke I.sulng from the green wood and
varnishes stored In the building.
Dry Kiln in Basement.
The basement of the building contained
a dry kiln, which was situated near the
boiler and . was the first to take fire.
When the firemen reached the scene the
interior of the ground floor of the plant
was a seething furnace, and Chief Camp;
bell Immediately sent In a second alarm
calling several more pieces of apparatus
to the scene. The extra equipment was
needed, for the fire was placed under con
trol only after the hardest three hours'
work the firemen have had In many days.
Robert Lutke, president and manager of
the concern, and his partner, E. C. Mears,
estimated the losses at about $73,000.
which i covered by about $23,000 Insur
ance. The books and accounts of the
concern were saved through the efforts
of Mr. Mears, several of the employes of
the firm and some volunteers, who broke
Into the Fifth-street side of the store
and carried out the, office effects. The
loss at this time come? as a serious blow
to the firm, as It was stocked with rush
orders for new furniture and fixtures to
be delivered In time for the Spring open
ing of its customers.
Plpcman Baldwin Hurt.
Pipcman James Baldwin, of truck 3.
was severely cut by a piece of falling
glas which struck him on the wrist and
severed an artery. His wound was dressed
by Assistant City Physician Spencer.
In rounding the corner of Seventh and
Burnsidc streets In responding to the
alarm, hose wagon No. 1 overturned, but
outside of -lightly injuring the seat, no
damage was wrought.
Four persons were placed under arrest
by Captain Bruin and his squad of po
lice officers at the fire. The Inspector
himself placed Fred Jacobson. a newly
married man. under arrest,' because he
refused to move back at the command of
tho local czar of detectives. Jacobson had
no manner of recognizing the Inspector
and replied to his order In the same man
ner, with the result that he was taken
before Acting Chief Grltzmaeher. who al
lowed him to go after a short talk. O.
W. Hall became obstreperous toward Po
liceman Parker when ordered to move
out of the fire lines, with the result that
he was locked up to think the matter
over. Patrolman E. Burke arrested R- T.
McMulIcn. a driver for Malley's Grocery,
and Patrolman Aldcn arrested Eddie Fen
nel, .driver for Woodard. Clarke & Co..
both of whom were charged with driving
over fire hose on complaint of Battalion
Chief Young.
The fire tied up the teams of the Ore
gon Transfer Company, whose stables are
located directly across the street from
the burned building, for the teamsters of
the company, who put their teams up
during the noon hour, were unable to take
their teams out owing to the lines of
hose stretched In front of the stable.
Work will begin today to put the plant
in working order.
German Aid Society Flection.
The annuat meeting of the members of
the General German Aid Society was held

Morrison streets. The reports of the offi
cers show that the society Is in a healthv

i
Committee of the Executive Board
Makes lis Recommendations.
The streets committee of the Executive
Board yesterday recommended -the ac
ceptance of the following streets:
Fill on Corbctt street, between Porter
and Grovcr; fill on Alder street, from the
west line of Lownsdale to tho west line
of Chapman: improvement of Taylor
street, from the west line of Front to the
east line of Eleventh; West Park street,
from the north line of Yamhill to the
south line of Couch Addition; Eighteenth
street, from the north line of Marshall
to the south line of Vaughn, and Williams
avenue, from the north line of McMiUen
street to the north line of Morris. In the
case of the last-named, some effort was
made to penalize the Warren Construction
Company $55 pn account of 13 days' delay
In laying the bltullthlc pavement, but
was shown that the corporation had used
every effort to complete the contract on
time, in addition to being handicapped by
tho street-car company relative to the
typo of rails to be used, and the com
mittee concluded to Ignore all penalties.
It was decided to readvertlso for bids
for the improvement or Fiske street, from
the south line of Dawson to the north line
of Willamette boulevard. The City Engi
neer's estimates indicate that there Is
more than $2400 in this job. but it appar
ently goes begging, as there were no bids
for the work when proposals were opened
at the last meeting of the Executive
Board.
Committeeman Sabln stated that there
COMPANY.
was no maintenance bond on the Improve
ment of North Front street, from Flan
dcrs up. and desired an expression of
opinion from the other members as to the
best way of maintaining It independently
of contractors.
Belgian blocks on a concrete founda
tion are laid along the thoroughfare, and
Mayor Lane thought the most economical
way for the maintenance of pavements of
this character would be to have the speci
fications call for cement grouts between
tho blocks. His Honor was enthuslustic
over the lasting qualities of this process.
claiming that if properly done such a
pavement would require no repairs for
years. The Mayor was also very much in
favor of parking all residence strcets'wlth
the exception of a space 20 feet wide.
which he contended should be laid In the
best possible style with some hard-surface
material. In his opinion, the larger pro
portion of outlying streets grow up In
grass, and the wear and tear Is nearly al
ways confined to a limited area In the
center. Committeemen Sabin, Fletschner
and Wilson seem to coincide with his
views In this respect.
Telephone Companies May Agree.
The two rival telephone companies are
seeking to patch up their differences, and
yesterday the representatives of the
Home Telephone Company submitted a
proposition to the officials of the Pacific
States Telephone &. Telegraph Company
to the effect that each should name an
arbiter, and the two should thereupon
endeavor to adjust all contentions rela
tive to the Installation of the pole? and
other apparatus of the new concern.
C. H. Carey, the legal adviser of the
Pacific States people, took the matter
under advisement, and Manager Frank
H. Stow, of the Home Telephone Com
pany. promptly notified the streets com
mlttec of the Executive Board of -the
likelihood of an amicable arrangement
being reached between the two cor
porations. The plan, as outlined by the Home
Telephone Company. Is for the two rep
resentatives to agree upon some method
of settling their differences without re
sorting to the court", and submit it to
the Executive Board for Its approval. .
Slrcct-Pavins: "War.
Hostilities in connection with the street
paving war were 'resumed yesterday after
noon before a select committee of the
streets committee of the Council, com
posed of Councllmen Vaughn. Masters and
Wills. Attorney Malarkoy, on behalf of
the Barber Asphalt Paving Company, ar
gued briefly In favor of the recommenda
tion of nn ordinance permitting his clients
to bid on a particular clajs of street work.
Attorney W. 51. Davis. Tor the Warren
Construction Company, opposed his ideas.
The committee took the matter under
advisement, and will endeavor to hold
another meeting before the next session
of the Council in order to be prepared to
make a final report upon the proposition.
Malarkey also submitted a form of
specifications covering the claims of the
Barber people as applied to their pro
posals for Street work.

and Arc Released With ,
"Warning From Court.
TH just see you and raise you one
buck.
"I'll top you; I've got three sevens."
These poker" sentences, coupled
with the statements of Sergeant of
Police Baty and Patrolman Ebcrman
that they heard the clicking of chips
and the Jingling of money in the barber
shop at 4S Union avenue at 3 o'clock
last Sunday morning, convicted George
Pccry. Henry Miller. Albert Lake ana
II. Culley of gambling;, when they were
tried yesterday In the Municipal court.
Pcery was fined $10 and the otners
$5 each.
The defense set up by the gamhiera
was so unique that the large crowd of
spectators laughed uproariously ana
Judge Cameron said he would clear the
room If there was any more noise.
Peery and his fellow companions in
misery declared under oath that they
were sitting up all. night in order
that Peery might be on hand to take
the train for Astoria Sunday morning.
Patrolman Ebcrman is an expert
pokerplayer, as he frankly admitted on
the stand, and Sargeant Baty has suffi
cient information on the subject to
tell a good deal, so the combined evi
dence of the officers and the admis
sions of the defendants on cross- exam
ination by Deputy City Attorney Fitz
gerald brought convictions.
In sentencing the defendants. Judge
Cameron took occasion to state that
the proper place for men of families
at night was with their families, and he
warned the accused players to be care
ful in future and not to remain out
until the morning hours.
Patrolman Eberman discovered1 the
poker game by accident. He hud just
made his 2 o clock report to head
quarters when he stepped upon the
sidewalk In front of the barber shop,
and it was then that ho heard the sen
tences regarding poker as spoken be
tween two of the players. He, said
a "buck" was a dollar, and he was
positive, from personal knowledge of
the game of draw poker, that the men
were speaking of that game. He then
called for Sergeant Baty and together
they made the raid. When they en
tered the barber shop they fo.und cards
and chips on the table, and the oc
cupants of the room engaged In drink
ing coffee and eating sandwiches.
Peery and those arrested with, him
swore they were not playing for money
or drinks, and that they were playing
solo, but one of the players, when asked
by Mr. Fitzgerald several questions
as to the game of solo plainly showed
that he did not know anything about
it.
a
Gordon Dickie and Esmond Hall, who
were arrested by Patrolman Jodon and
Watchman Beyer on suspicion of be
ing highwaymen, were discharged yes
terday morning. One reason for this
action was the presence of Mrs. Dickie,
who said that she owned the revolver
that was found on her husband when
he was taken' into custody, and that
she was positive her husband and Hall
had no evil Intentions.
Judge Cameron stated to the two
young men that in future when visit
ing Portland it would be a good plan
to leave revolvers and such weapons
at home, and they agreed with him.

"WOULD DO NO HARM"
To Quit Coffee, the Doctor Said.
An Oak Park lady writes of her coffee
experiment:
"I am of middle age and had been a
coffee drinker all my life up to 5 years
ago when my physical condition became
so serious and medicines did so little good
that 'I began to suspect that coffee was
doing me harm.
"I had gradually become very nervous,
my heart grew subject to distressing pal
pitations and my mental faculties had got
Into dull, torpid condition. With It all
came bodily weakness that made it al
most Impossible to get around.
"My physician examined me and said
my heart was affected. I asked him if
coffee was Injurious to me and he replied
that it 'would do no harm to stop drink
ing It for a while. And so I quit It.
"But I felt very much the need of a
hot beverage, and In that way came to try
Postum Food Coffee, which I had seen
advertised. I had It prepared strictly
according to the directions, and the result
was a delicious, clear drink, which I
found most refreshing and satisfying,
with a flavor similar to that of the finest
coffee.
"I have used it as my sole table drink
ever since. Soon after I began to drink
it my nerves steadied down to normal,
the heart trouble ceased to annoy me, and
my head has been clearer, my mentality
more active and efficient during these 5
years than ever before in my life.
"My son-in-law was a victim of dys
pepsia, until I Induced him to stop drink
ing tho old kind and begin the use of
Postum Food Coffee. His digestion rap
idly improved until it became perfect
and, as he still uses Postum. it has re
mained so." Name given by Postum Co.,

"It was three years ago last spring
that my health failed me," says Mrs.
Arthur Conklin, of No. 5 Coldwater
street, Battle Greek, Mich. " I suffered
from leucorrhoea and other troubles
that, I presume, were caused by the
weakness it produced. I had sinking

like a walking skeleton.
"My back and limbs would ache al
most continually and there were days
when I was absolutely helpless from

on the street and inquired about my
health. He advised my husband to get
some of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for me,
said they were a good medicine, better
for my trouble than he could put up. I
felt better after taking the first box but
took six boxes and was entirely cured.
As soon as the leucorrhoea was cured
the headaches and other pains stopped.
I am entirely cured but I intend to con
tinue to uso Dr. "Williams Pink Pills as
a spring tonic."
Mrs. Conklin permits the publication
of her statement in the hope and belief
that it will help suffering women to find
the remedy that will cure them. Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills actually make new
blood. They don't act on the bowels.
They don't bother with mere symptoms.
They strike straight at the" common
root of disease. But, of course, you
must get the genuine pills. Substitutes
and Imitations never cured anybody.
The genuine Dr.Williams' Pink Pills are
sold by all druggists, or will be sent, post
paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per
box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. "Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, IT. 7,
