IT was because John Bonner tried to take his spite out on . the innocent steamplpe. . Bonner is one ot the select who are learning new stunts at the physical train ing, school established at Kelly's Butte. This worker In rocks and pebbles declares that he has been able to bring stern peni tentiary officials to his way of thinking, in spite ot the fact that he was a prisoner behind the bars and they all-powerful. He was recently sent to Kelly's Butte to serve a 60-day sentence. He at once filed a demurrer against hard work. Chief Jus tice Briggs, who is also head guard, over ruled the demurrer. But Bonner always had something wrong with him. First it was the tooth ache, then the leprosy, and when that was almost cured, brain fever set In. Briggs -made the prisoner work. Just the same. Several days ago, Bonner did not get out of his bunk for breakfast. "I've got the consumption," he whis pered to Briggs. as the guard called to learn the nature of the new complaint. After a thorough examination, the guard satisfied himself that Bonner was trying another anti-work dodge, and the prisoner was ordered to get dressed In a hurry. "I can't and I won't work," was the den hurled at the officer when the "sick man" had dressed. ' "Well, then-you an stay In the. dun geon." answered Briggs. "All right,", came, the reply, "when I was in the penitentiary,", they tried that dungeon racket on me. I stayed In 37 days, and then the warden took me out, saying it was no use to try to tame me down that way. You can't do it." Bonner is a large, powerful fellow, and his temper wasat the boiling point when he was placed in the dark room. He grabbed one of the pipes that are used to' heat the dungeon and in his anger, wrenched it from the fittings. The steam began to pour out of .the pipe and soon the room was full of the hot vapor. And then did Bonner begin to yell. "Murder! Help!! Let me out. quick!!! oil 111 be rood I'll be sood!!!"- came the cries from the strong, dark room. Briggs at once knew what had happened and so he went to the dungeon door. Bonner pleaded and prayed. Briggs threw in the prisoner's ovencont to him, and then Bonner begged all the harder to be let out. Briggs regulated the steam from the outside so that it would not seriously hurt the prisoner and then he Informed Bonner that steam baths were fine for consumption. After a time, the prisoner made so many good promises that he was released. Now, he is one of the hardest working men at Kelly's Butte. He declares that the steam cure is the best thing he knows of for consumption and laziness. GAS FOR ALL OF MEXICO Americans Are Granted Concession by Mexican Government. L'OS ANGELE9, Cal., Dec. 7.-The Ex press say's today: "One of the largest and most valuable concessions ever given by Mexico hae been granted Edward L. Doheny and C. A. Canfleld, of Los Angeles, and Ir. Norman Bridges, of Pasadena, who are planning an extensive system for manufacturing gas from crude oil and distributing it all over the republic. "The concession gives the right to erect and operate gas plants and distributing systems in all cities and towns In Mex ico. The grant allows free Importation for a period of ten years of all machin ery, pipes and material needed for the construction and (operation of the plants. The concessionaires obligate themselves to begin the construction of a 1500,000 plant within six months, and to furnish gas to the districts of San Rafael, Santa Maria, Juarez and Roma within four years. "This new Industry is made possible by the recent development of crude oil in large quantities in the vicinity of Tampi co. Those to whom the concessions have been granted will begin at once the in stallation of a gas plant to supply the City of Mexico and the suburban towns of Tacubaya, Mlxcocoa, San Angel, Chur ubusco, Tacuba. Atzscapotazalco, Coyo can and Tialpim. L ASKS FOR MANY SUBPENAS Orlando Murray's Lawyer Summons 47 Witnesses to Appear Monday.

The subpenas are. for witnesses to ap pear in behalf of Orlando Sherman Muray, who will be placed on trial next Monday charged with killing Lincoln C. Whitney several weeks ago, on the ground that the latter had ruined tMuray's .19-year old sister. When Mr. Logan appeared at the office of Sheriff Stevens' yesterday afternoon with the list of persons he wished served with subpenas today, one clerk was kept busy for an hour. Forty-seven subpenas were Issued. In all. 79 persons have been summoned to appear in court next Mon day to tell all they know regarding the case. Of these about One-half are women." All but half a dozen of the witnesses live at Montavilla. CUPID'S OCCUPATION"' GONE. Santa. Claus Supplants Little Blind God In Public Eye. Santa Claus has driven Cupid to the tall timber and the little fellow, who is usual ly pictured . In the nude, is shivering in his lonliness. Too much , hurry and bustle during the holiday season for folk to think of wedding bells and their . ac companiments. "Ever since I have been In this office, I have noticed that there has been a falling oft in the marriage license market at the beginning of the holiday season," said Chief Deputy County Clerk Prasp yesterday. "I do not know what causes this, unless it is that people want to use their money to buy Christmas presents. "I have spoken to several of my friends about it, and they seem to think that it Is because parents are too busy with other things at this tirne of the year and haven't the time to spare to get the household ready for a wedding. Whatever the cause, there is a slump now. sure."- - MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD COMPLAIN. Assert That City Father's Ignore Their Recommendation as to Valuation ol Franchises. On the ground that the City Council pays little or no attention to its recom mendations, as a general rule, the Execu tive Board yesterday gave but slight con sideration to the protest made by Ralph B. Fisher, attorney for the Mount Hood Railway Company against the ' valuation placed on the company's franchise by the board. Members of the board asserted that It made but little difference what valuations the board placed on franchises, inasmuch as the Council did as it pleased after receiving the board's recommenda tions. - - A cash value of J1000 per annum for the first five years, $2000 for the ten suc ceeding years and $3000 per annum for the last ten years was placed on the Mount Hood franchise. Ralph B., Fisher, the company's attorney, declared that the valuation was entirely too high and that It ought to be materially reduced. He de clared that it was well-nigh prohibitory ' "Oh. what's the difference, anyway," said C. - A. Cogswell, a member of ' the board, while Fisher was protesting. "The Council always determines the valuation to suit itself and our action here in that respect seems to me to be of a perfunc tory character." "That's, so," said Mayor Lane. "They took the steam-heating franchise of the Portland General Electric Company and cut our estimate of Its cash value nearly in half." Had it not been for the attitude of the Council it is probable that the estimate would have been reduced to some extent. The Executive Board recommended, how ever, that if the company shall bind Itself to construct the line within three years the cash valuation be lowered. Mr. Fisher stated that the backers of the company were acting In good faith and that they intended to have the line built and in operation within three years. The street committee and the Fire Com missioners were authorized to sell at. public auction old wagons and other ma terials they have on hand and for -which they have no further use. But two bids for street improvements were opened and they were referred to the street committee: East Stark street. Harry Howard, $12,539.32; Minnesota ave nue, R. J. Debuhr. $1248.12. A report from Fire Chief Campbell, Deputy Fire Marshal Roberts and Build ing Inspector Spencer was read, in which it was stated that several of the churches and sanitariums in the city were inade quately protected against nra. Sixty days was allowed by the board for making the changes recommended by the committee. PERS0NALMENTI0N. W. W. Baker, who. is seriously ill at the home of his son, Frank C. Baker, was reported better yesterday evening. Harry C. Whittier, of the well-known firm of merchandise brokers, the Shafer. Whittier Company, arrived home last evening from a week's business trip to the Sound cities, where his firm is con ducting a number of special sales for leading firms in the Northwest. Mr. Whittier reports business as generally good in that section, but no section shows the growth and hustle so evident In Port land. NEW irORK, Dec. 7.
