A mans mooting of representative
rtutzcMK h( St. Johns and vicinity was
IwW Utft night in Woodmen Hall in
-nrjlch business of Interest to that place
htmi considered, chief of which was the
matter of .supporting- the Port of Port
land In requiring Uiat the Portland &
8enUl Railway Company should build
double-deck bridge across the "Wil
lamette River for use of street-cars
and tli- general public. Mayor W. II.
Ktnc wiis chosen chairman and Wil
li Mxou secretary. Mayor King an
nwtraced the object of tho meeting, but
urg! that tho proceedings be cau
tion nnd conservative.
Mr. Moxon made a forcible talk in
which h declared that only a doublc
ick Uldge should be built, that would
accommodate the public, and thus
avoid the building- of another bridge
for tret-cars and general traflic in
a few yiitra at another point. Mayor
Ktng culled for expressions of opinion.
Tb?mas J. Monalian spoke for tho
lMiblc-dcck bridge, and remarked that
xnan a bridge would shorten the dis
tance to the heart of the city and
bring greater prosperity to St. Johns.
He did not think that the requirement
would prevent the construction of the
bridge
H sold that if the company would
bwild tch a bridge ho should favor
relieving the company from dredging
near the bridge. Mr. Monahan then
submitted the following resolutions as
embodying tho purposes of the mass
meeting:
Bridge Tor General Traffic.
WfcoroR, Tho Iort of Portland Commlwlon,
liackc unanimous public sentiment. has
wiFot)- granted to tho Hill railroads the right
to ere ts "Willamette River at the point d
rtrni by that system: and.
M'hrm. Under this permit It will be necs
par fee th al4 railroad to construct and
inalntalR a awing drawbridge across the 6a Id
VlWaaKtte River; and.
Ulterwr. The capacity of the Steel bridge
i. t the present time, greatly overtaxed in
the handling of the traffic of the Eoflt Side,
wMch traffic Is Increasing at a. very rapid
jwiee. w.hlch ntr promises to continue, in
which caee all of the Bast Side and Tenlnnula
3tsttieu xmiPt suffer; and,
Whoreas, It will be necejwnry in the near
future t build a bridge at a point somewhere
lwiwoca the present Steel bridge und the con
templated Northern Pacific bridge to take care
tf the increasing traffic, between the I'enin
mU. and Portland. This bridge would be an
nricHttanal and unnecessary obstruction to nav
igation, but will have to be built unleMi some
arrangement is made with the Northern Pa
dftc Railway to make their bridge a double
deek one; therefore, be It
Resolved. That It is, in the opinion of the
peente of St. Johws in maps meeting a
iomhled. the duty of the Tort of Portland
Commission to insist upon the construction
of an upper deck on the railroad bridge about
be constructed by this system of railroad,
sad that the pame be given over to the use of
the general public, and to this end the rejl
dentn f St. Johns and adjacent territory ear
ned petition.
Resolutions Arc Adopted.
Tho rosolution called out much discus
sion. D. C. Rodgors called attention to
tho telegram that St. Johns had sent to
President Hill, of the Northern Pacific,
declaring that tho people would do all
they could to facilitate his entrance to
Portland and would do nothing to obstruct
ltim.
Mayor King advised great caution.
"Don't ask too much or you may got
nothing," he said. Ho said he would fa
vor the county iaying for tho upper deck
of this bridge rather than force tho
Northern Pacific to build a double-deck or
none at all. He deprecated all obstructive
movement on tho part of the people of
St. Johns.
T. J. Monahan and Willis Moxon sup
ported the resolutions, and-declared they
were not for obstructing the company,
ad did not believe the requirement ob
structive. Work had been started on tho
bridge across the Columbia River.
"After full discussion the resolutions wero
unanimously adopted. T. J. Monahan,
Willis Moxon. D. C. Rodgers and W. i.
Thorndyke were appointed a committee
to wait on the Port of Portland with the
expression from tho mass meeting.
Talks Tiro Protection.
Mayor King called attention to the
helpless condition of St. Johns in case of
Jlrc. and said that a lire engine costing
51S00 was offered that would throw two
streams 150 feet. He Invited an expression
of opinion. Willis Moxon said he thought
the Council should take the initiative and
provide Are apparatus, but Mayor King
said the Council wanted an expression
from the people. The subject was then
dropped to be taken up at a meeting
called specially for that purpose.
AY DIFFER OVER THE PLANS
Upper Deck Likely to Cause Trouble
at Conference.
Although C. M. Levey, president of tho
Portland & Seattle Railroad Companv,
came from Tacoma early this week while
J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager of the
Northern Pacific, arrived from St. Paul,
bringing his,, private' secretary. Henry
Blakely, general western freight agent
for the Northern Pacific, from Tacoma,
and Harry Adams, assistant traffic man
ager, from Seattle, all for the express
purpose of holding a session with the
Port of Portland Commission to discuss
the conditions under which permission
will bo granted the Hill officials to con
struct their bridge across the Willamette,
no conference has as yet been held and
it was given out last night that It is un
likely that tho commissioners and the
railroad officials will get together before
tomorrow.
The proposed franchise to allow the
construction of tho bridge, containing
stipulations as to width of draw, dredg
ing of the channel near the bridge and
the construction of an upper deck for the
passage of street-cars and wagon travel,
has been drawn up and will be submitted
In Its completed form, to the Port or Port
land Commissioners either today or to
morrow. After they discuss It, and sugest any
needed changes, an Informal session Is
likely between the commissioners and the
railroad officials, each attended by their
attorneys, when the conditions urged by
the Port of Portland will be talked over
and either agreed to or refused. It Is
not likely the matter will be settled un
til late this week.
Probably tho bone of contention be
tween tho coraralseJon and the railroad
officiate will be the prop Hftper deck

Jury Discharges I Urn on Motion of
District Attorney.
On motion of District Attorney Man
ning, the Jury called to try Dr. Paul J.
A. Semler for performing a criminal op
eration on Wlnnlfred, McGrath, a girl 16
years old, returned a verdict of not guilty
In Judge Sears' court yesterday. After
the girl had given her testimony Mr. Man
ning arose and Informed the court that
If she had told the samo story when she
appeared before him, when he was sitting
as a grand Jury, he would not have tiled
an Information against Dr. Semler.
The District Attorney called attention to
additional evidence which, ho said, he
had not been given in his office, and then
said: "If I was a Juror I would not con
vict on tho evidence which has been sub
mitted, and I would not expect this Jury,
to do so."
Thore was also a legal question in tho
case, which Judge Sears would probably
have docldcd in favor of tho dofondant,
and such a decision would havo taken the
case from the Jury and resulted In his
final dtecliarge.
ESTATE TAKES APPEAL.
Administrator AV111 Carry Johnson
Cnsc to Higher Court.
E. M. Cederberg, administrator of tho
estate of Rudolph Johnson, deceased,
tiled notice of appeal to the State Ciroult
Court yesterday from the decision of
Lionel R. Webster. County Judge, as to
the final report of R. O. Scott, the former
administrator. Judge Webster allowed
an Item of ?750 paid by Mr. Scott to R. W.
Ruffin. an attorney. The latter did not
account to tho heirs as he should have
done. Judge Webster also ordered Mr.
Scott to turn over the balance In his
hands, JS3, to Mr. Codcrberg. The Ruffin
matter is what is appealed from.
Rudolph Johnson was killed In a street
car accident at East Twenty-nrst and
East Glisan streets about a year ago. Tho
Portland Consolidated Railway Company
settled for J2500, and the JSS3 Is all that Is
left for tho heirs, unless the $750 Is re
covered from Mr. Ruffin or Mr. Scott,

B. P. McGlnnis. the pollco officer ar

the court. Mrs. McGlnnis, the wife of
the accused, has visited him in tho
Jail, and was present when he was re
leased. McGlnnis. through his at
torney, C M. Idloman. has filod a de
murrer to the information which will
be argued within a few days.
Marquain Theater Will Comply.
City Attorney McNary filod a demur
rer in the SUtc Circuit Court yestcr
daj to the Injunction suit of tho North
western Theatrical Association to pre
vent the closing of the Marquam
Theater, and the grounds of the de

state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of suit.
The theater people now have an
architect and a force of mon engaged
making the changes necessary to com
ply with the fire ordinance. If all the
required changes arc mado the case
will never be tried.
Claims Big Commission.
J. Goldsmith, a real estate broker,

UPPER DECK FOR BRIDGE
Mayor King, of St. Johns, Strongly
Favors the Measure.
MAYOR'S OFFICE. St. John. Or.. March
13. (To the Editor.) I wish to call your at
tention, and through you. the attention of the
Port of Portland CommUelonera and the pub
lic generally to the Importance of having an
upper deck to the new Northern Pacific
bridge across the Willamette River. If this
point is not insisted on and the railroad com
pany not compelled to make this provlclon. it
will be a grave blunder on the part of those
in authority. It la a matter of only a few
years when some means of getting across
the river to Portland, outside of the already
overcrowded Steel bridge will be an absolute
necessity, and this is the great opportunity
to provide for the rapidly growing districts
on the lower Peninsula, This matter in of
the highest Importance, and we earnestly hope
that it may receive the help of The Ore
gontan. W. H. KING.
Reports 'on Street Extensions.

Twenty-ninth street, from tho north lino
of Broadway to the north line of Tilla
mook; East Ninth from the south line
of Roselawn avenue to the north line of

within the boundaries of the proposed
change, containing 537 square feet.

REMAIN THROUGHOUT TRIAL
Judge Cameron Finds 3Irs. Campbell
and Daughter Guilty of Beating
and Scalding Mrs. "Walsh.
Sentence Suspended.
Wars and rumors of wars have dis
turbed the neighborhood In the vicin
ity of East Eighth and Fremont streets
for several weeks, and hostilities finally
broke out a few days ago between Mrs.
Mary Walsh and Mrs. Alice Campbell
and nor daughter, Jennie, aged 17
years. Mother and daughter were ar
rested on assault and battery charges,
and Municipal Judgo Cameron yester
day spent nearly two hours hearing
testimony In the case. He suspended
sentence, warning the defendants to
obey the law hereafter.
Five leading ministers of the city,
who had come Into court through In
terest in the cases against Acting Po
lice Detective Kay and Paul Rader. of
tho Anti-Saloon Leamio. remained to
listen to tho spicy
testimony given by
witnesses to the
neighborhood row.
Among other al
legations mado by
Mrs. Walsh was one
to the effect that
Mrs. - and Miss
Campbell used lan
guage most foul.
When the com
plainant began
telling what words
wore used during
the row. Judge
Cameron announcet"
that anyone who
wished to avoid .leldlmr the Bit
hearing the shock- Stick.
Ing details might step Into an adjoin
ing room. No one moved.
"Mrs. Campbell struck mo with a
big stick, making several black and
blue marks on my back and one on my
left arm. swore Mrs. Walsh. "I led
my cow along tho sidewalk In front of
her house, and she got mad. She has
beeu threatening to hurt me, and has
said she would kill mc. She had her
daughter get n cup of boiling water,
and she ran out and threw It In my
face. The last blow she struck with the
stick, broke tho stick. Mrs. Campbell
even fell on hor knees and prayed that
I would die."
"And what did you do all of the
time?" asked Attorney Glltncr, counsel
for the defense.
"Not a thing, but stood and took tho
beating, until Mrs. Campbell's husband
ran out and led hor into her house,
replied Mrs. Walsh.
"What did you threaten to do?"
asked Mr. GUtner.
"I only said that if there was any
law. I'd make her pay for beating mo
and trying to scald me. was tho roply.
"Mrs. Campbell was awfully angry and
wild that the next time we met one or
the other would die."
"Is It not a fact that you are angry
with Mrs. Campbell because one of her
daughters ran away with your first
husband?" asked Mr. GUtner.
"No, sir; she Is welcome to him," re
plied the witness.
Mrs. Walsh Is a daughter of Thomas
Burgos, an aged cripple, who was recent
ly arrested upon complaint of his son,
charged with assault and battery, and Mr.
GUtner attempted to show that It was
largely due to the fact that Mrs. Camp
bell bad recently given the old man room
and board that Mrs. Walsh caused the
trouble. Deputy District Attorney Brand
and Special Prosecutor Strode objected,
and after a wrangle Judge Cameron sus
tained the objection.
C. J. Jones, living 30 feet from the
Walsh home, swore that ho had. unfortu
nately, witnessed the battle between Mrs.
Walsh and Mrs. Campbell, and had heard
foul language used by the latter. He said
that Mrs. Walsh was leading her cow
along the street, when the hot water was
hurled at her, and she was attacked with
tho club. He swore that Mrs. Walsh did
did not retaliate, but stood and took tho
beating and the outpour of unmention
able language without a murmur, only
throwing up her hands to ward oft tho
blows.
"Why did you not go to Mrs. Walsh and
rescue here from her peril?" asked Mr.
Giltner.
"There was a big mud hole between us.
and. in addition. 1 thought Mrs. Campbell
and her daughter might turn on me." re
plied Jones, and the gallery went wild
with laughter. The ministers smiled, too.
"W arc prepared to prove by witnesses
that Mrs. Walsh was badly bruised," said
counsel for the prosecution, when Judge
Cameron suggested he had heard enough
of one side.
"May It please the court." said Mr.
GUtner, "If there are any bruises. I want
to see them, and want Your Honor to see
them. That rule has been established la
the Circuit Court,"
"That Is preposterous." said Mr. Strode.
"That rule did not apply to such cases as
this, and to attempt
to apply It in this
matter Is simply
ridiculous.
"I am willing to
have Your Honor ex
amine her back and
sec If there arc any
bruises on It, In con
Junctlpn with Mr.
Strode," said Mr.
Glltncr. "I demand,
however, that the
bruises be seen."
The matter was
settled by calling
Mr. Walsh, who
swore that six black
bruises adorned his
wife's back when he
reached home on the
evening of the day
oi tno Battle.
Scald Mrs. Walsh was
called back to the
stand by Mr. Giltner. when the defense
took up its case, and she was asked to
exhibit her left arm.
"You'll have to help," said Mrs. Walsh,
as she lifted up her left arm, and Mr!
Giltner deftly pushed back tho various
sleeves until the arm was bared and
closely scrutinized by Judge Cameron, and
the spectators, the latter having to bo
content with a long-dl6tanco inspection,
"I see the mark," said Judge Cameron.
"The whole arm looks alike to me,"
said Mr. GUtner. "The mark may bo
there, but It looks the same all over to
mc"
Mrs. Camp&ell was then called, and de
nied everything charged against hor and
her 6atgkttr. Xlss Canpbcll also denied
"She Tried to
Me."

Your complexion, as well as your tem
per. Is rendered miserable by a disordered
liver. Improve both by taking Carter's
Little Liver Pills.
SUGAR AND STARCH
riease the Palate, but Sometime Play nob
With Digestion.
Sugar and starch, as found in ordinary
food arc intended to supply energy and
strength, keep up steam to drive the
human machine, and this they do if prop
erly digested.
But when the digestive apparatus has
had too much work crowded upon it, or
when It becomes weakened from any
cause, the food decays (there Is no other
word so expressive) In the stomach and
intestines, and not only produces gas to
distend the stomach and crowd and
weaken the heart, but promotes other
disease conditions which develop Into
serious liver, stomach and sometimes
heart trouble.
It Is Important that the food present
the sugar and starch to the stomach In
such form" that they may be readily di
gested and pass to the nerves and blood
to energize the machine without overtax
ing the organs.
Grape-Nuts food does this perfectly. It
Is prepared by mechanical (not chemical)
processes, similar to those through which
food passes in the healthy human digest
