CITY-GOUNGILMEII
Expert Accountant Refuses to
Testify Before Special
Committee.
GEORGE BLACK OBDURATE
Declines lo Answer Questions Re
garding Delinquent Taxes Ways
and Moans Members Also Ke-
calcitrant Papers Missing.
An important part of the report made by
Experts Clark and Buchanan on the pity's
nuditinjr system is missing, and no one is
ahle to account for its mysterious disap
pearance. No copies of it are in existence
and the -special committee from the City
Council which is goinj? over the report will
conduct an Investigation to ascertain what
lias become of the paper.
The special committee held a meeting at
the City Hall last night when it was dis
covered that all of the original report was
not on hand. A supplementary report,
which was made the object of criticism
. by the ways and means committee, was
missing, and the parties who are responsu
hie for it were called upon for an explana
tion. City Auditor Dcylln said that when they
. left his hands the report and the supple
mentary report were together and that he
had turned them over to the Mayor's pri
vate secretary. Miss McDonald. He pro
duced a receipt for the papers.
Miss McDonald was called up over the
telephone by Councilman Vaughn, one of
the members of the special committee. She
said that she had received but a part of
the report and knew nothing whatever of
the missing" paper. The special committee
will hold another meeting Wednesday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock, when Miss McDonald
will be asked to appear and testify.
All who are concerned are much sur
. prised and say that they do not see how
the paper could have been mislaid. It
contained itemized and comparative tables
from city records, and It was alleged by
the ways and means committee that it
had been taken from the published annual
reports.
. Kxpcrt Is In Contempt.
. '. The missing report was not the only
Interesting feature of the meeting last
night, as George Black, the public ac
countant, may be cited for contempt for
his refusal to answer certain questions
when interrogated by Councilman
Vaughn. Mr. Black is the accountant se
lected by the special committee of citizens
at the request of the City Council to ex.
pert the city records. He was subpenaed
to appear before the committee, and was
sworn In last night by Chairman Kellaher.
He then said he would prefer not to be
cross-examined, as he had not received
any official notitication of his appoint
ment, and had not accepted it. He plead
ed the privilege of his profession.
The members of the committee de
manded that he answer certain questions
which he refused to do. Councilman
Vaughn warned him and read him the
ordinance . which makes it a mis
demeanor to refuse to answer ques
tions put by members of any special com
mittee of, the City Council, such of
fense being punishable by either fine or
Imprisonment or both. Nevertheless
Black steadfastly refused to answer.
Councilman Vaughn said later that he
thought Black would be prosecuted.
"1 prefer to exercise the privilege of
my profession and not be subjected to
questioning at this time," said Mr. Black.
"You do so at your own peril,"
thundered Vaughn, reaching for a copy of
the city ordinances.
Asked Regarding Taxes.
. Mr. Black was asked relative to the
report lie made several years ago on the
records of Multnomah County in regard
to taxes due the city which were never
paid over. Every year there are delin
quent taxes which never reach the city
treasury and Clark & Buchanan in
their report declared that these losses
were unaccounted for. Mr. Black said
that his report was a matter of public
record and that he was not prepared to
an.swer questions concerning it.
Mayor Lane took a hand in the pro
ceedings and asked Mr. Black whether
there was anything in the nature of a
truthful statement that he might make in
answer to questions which would em
barrass him in his relations with the
committee. This question also Black
declined to answer. Many different ques-
. tioas were hurled at him by the com
mitteemen but they could not induce him
to answer. .
The proceedings . last night consisted
largely of a cross-examination of Auditor
Devlin by Councilman Vaughn. Vaughn
appeared anxious to establish the point
that the report of the ways and means
. committee criticising the report of the
experts was in reality the report of
Auditor Devlin.
"As a matter of fact, Mr. Devlin," in
quired Vaughn, "was not the report of
the ways and means committee made up
In the main from your answers to their
. question's?"
Devlin, on tlie Grill.
"No," replied Devlin. "I acted as clerk
. of the ways and means committee and
- wrote the report, which was later ap
proved by the members of the com
"niittee. 1 acted merely as clerk. 1 told
the members of the committee repeatedly
that I did not want to have anything
to do with making out the report. They
Insisted that . I should, as I had acted as
clerk of their meetings. I compiled the
. report according to their directions and
suggestions. It is not my report, but the
report of the' members of the ways and
means committee'."
The members of the ways and means
committee were subpenaed to appear at
the last meeting of the .special com
mittee, but none of them attended ex
cept Rushlight, who is also a member
of the special committee. There is some
talk about the City Hall that the mem
bers of the special committee will ... be
prosecuted for not obeying the summons
and Councilman Vaughn said last night
that perhaps something will be done in
that regard.
The members ' of the committee are:
Wallace, Rushlight. Masters, Bennett and
Gray.
MARQUAM MAY BE OPENED
Possibility That Theater Will Be Re
modeled by the Owners.
It is not unlikely that the Marquam
Theater, after having; been closed for a
year, may, within a few months, be re
opened as Portland's leading place of
amusement. J. Thorburn Ross, presi
dent of the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company, which owns the theater', fa
vors reopening it, provided satisfactory
alterations are found to be feasible.
In discussing the matter yesterday, Mr.
ltoss said:
We have had various propositions from men
who desire to rent the property for other uses,
but. when we came to figure on the rental we
found them unprofitable. One man wanted It
changed Into a hotel; another desired it fixed
up for office, and still others viehed to have
the building; fronted on Alder etreet for stortes.
While the Executive Board denies, us the
ri'Kht to reopen the theater, we find that It Is
really one of the safest- and best theaters tn
the country. Theatrical men from all over
the East tell us that there is more security
from fire and panic than in two-thirds of the
playhouses of the Cnlted States.
All this time the subject of building a first
class theater in some other locality ia can
vassed, but turned dawn. The Marquam is In
the center of the hotel district, and the busi
ness men near by have been urging us to open
It again. It would cost fully 20,000 to comply
with the requirements of the Executive Board,
however, and then w'e would have no assurance
that more "demands would not be made? by the
authorities.
The four-story brick fronting on Alder street,
recently occupied toy the Portland. General
Electric Company aa a base of supplies, has
been vacated at our request, as we desired to
have the coast clear- for the work of remod
elling and Improvement should we decide on
this course.
LONG CAPES A NUISANCE
Chief Gritzmacher .Will Request a
Change in Police Uniform.
Acting Chief of Police Gitzmacher
intends to recommend that the Police
Commissioners abolish the long cape
now worn as part of their uniform by
the patrolmen of Portland. Complaints
innumerable have been registered by
the officers against the cape, which is
worn In the rainy season and which
was Introduced as a portion yf the
patrolman's uniform during the regime
of Chief Hunt. . Hunt adopted the
recommendation of General Charles F.
Beebe, who was then a Police Commis
sioner. The capes, While warm and offering
some protection against the elements,
are cumbersome and hinder an officer
in his work.
Patrolman Bales blames his cape for
his- Inability to capture "Kid" Murray
at the time he arrested "Chick"
Houghton yesterday morning. Bales
claims that had he been free from the
cape, neither of his prisoners would
have had a chance for liberty. As it
happened, he confined his efforts to
the recapture of Houghton and alTowed
Murray to escape, for he looked upon
the former as the more important of
the two.
. When news of the Chiefs plan was
circulated among the officers it was
received with joy, for they are heartily
sick of the semi-military garment.
Chief Gritzmacher will recommend that
the city purchase suitable overcoats
for the officers, for which they may be
required to pay cost price.
A. design of coat will be prepared
and submitted to the Commissioners
with a strong recommendation that it
be adopted.
LUNATIC CAUSES ALARM
Runs at Large in Garb of Nature on
Peninsula.
The police were notified last night
of the reappearance of a man who is
supposed to be insane, and who has
been seen twice within as many days
on the Peninsula. Both times he was
stark naked. The citizens are alarmed,
and implored the police to take steps
at once to capture the lunatic. Owing
to the fact that the patrolmen and
plain clothes men are being used alto
gether on emergency work and strike
duty at present, no officers were avail
able to be sent to the Peninsula last
night
The man was seen by children at tho
Peninsula school at noon Wednesday
for .the first time, and last night during
a meeting? of the young people of the
German Lutheran Church he. was seen
again by three little girls. One of
them met him in the dark and thought
him to be her grandfather and called
to him, whereupon he took to his heels
and leaped over a fence.
COUNCILMEN PLAN JUNKET

city officials leave next Wednesday for
Victoria, to be absent from Portland

to every property-owner in Portland.' The, keynote of the number
will bo the remarkable showing made in Portland's building opera

190(5 following Exposition year. Some of Portland's best real estate
has shown an increase of 100 per cent in value during the present
year. Incidental to matters of interest touching on Portland's build

extend the privilege of playing in drink
ing places to both sexes, provided it were
vetoed by the Mayor.
The original saloon music- ordinance
was killed at the. meeting held Wednes
day afternoon. ? It had been vetoed by
the Mayor and the Council sustained
his action by refusing to pass it over
the veto.
There Is a possibility that -Mayor Lane
will not veto the substitute bill if It is
passed. At one of the meetings when the
measure was up for consideration he
stated that the enforcement of the law
prohibiting music in saloons was aimed
directly at the women and not the men'
musicians. If he vetoes the bill.Jt Is be
lieved there is a sufficient majority in
the council to pass it over the Veto. The
ordinance 'was Introduced yesterday by
Councilman Annand by request.
Councilman Beldlng yesterday presented
a resolution calling the attention of the
Mayor to the fact that music is rendered
in the Hotel Portland and the Oregon
Hotel in rooms where liquor is sold. The
Councilmen regarded the resolution in
the light of a joke, although Belding is
considering It seriously and adopted It.
Belding is one of those who supported
the original saloon music ordinance and
believes that the law should be enforced
without exceptions.
"Liquor is sold in the grill rooms of
the Hotel Portland and the Oregon Hotel,
which is contrary to the statutes of this
city," declared Belding when he cham
pioned his resolution. "You can buy all
the liquor you want in those places."
"I would like to inquire of Mr. Beld
ing," said Mayor Lane, "If there isn't a
bit of difference between the surroundings
at those hotels and those at Erickson's

"The whisky is about the same, ex
cept the prices are higher,' was the re
tort from Belding.
"Oh. very well," replied the Mayor,
"I'll inquire of the City Attorney and see
If there is not a distinction."
It will only take a few weeks ' to pass
the. substitute ordinance which is now up
before the Council and that will Insure
the two hotels from interference.
The meeting of the Council yesterday
was a short one and was held to clean
up considerable unfinished business that
had accumulated. Adjournment until
the next regular meeting, during the first
week of the new year, was taken at about
4 o'clock.
Organizing for Fire Protection.
A movement has been started among
the settlements along the Mount Scott
Railway between Anabel and Lents to
organize a complete volunteer fire depart
ment. A meeting was held In the Nash
ville building Tuesday night, and the or-
ganization of a. fire company accom
plished by- electing the following officers:
Captain, Jack Jeffries; first lieutenant,
M. A. Mann; secretary; P. H. McCarter;
treasurer. M. Mitchell. E. S. Couch and
W. T. Willour, from the Mount Scott
Fire Company," were present and made
short addresses setting forth the pian
for tire protection. Another company will
be organized at Anabel, and then the
three settlements "will co-operate in pro
curing apparatus and will assist each
other in case of fire. The district cover3
a large territory, containing between 3000
and 4000 houses, hence it is a problem
to provide adequate fire protection, but
the several communities have decided to
do the best they can by uniting their
forces.
JAMES O'NEILL MAY SUE
His Name Vsed ' In Advertising
"Monte Cristo" by Star Theater.
Through his attorney, John F. Logan,
the veteran romantic actor James O'Neill
threatens suit against Manager J. H.
Erickson of the Star Theater basing the
action upon a recent presentation of
"Monte cristo" given by the Allen Stock
Company at the Star.
During October the Allen Company
presented "Monte Cristo." .in which Mr.
O'Neill appeared at the Heilig last week.
He has been starring in the play for a
quarter of a century and .his name Is
Inseparably associated with the success
of the piece. It appears that the adver
tising matter used by the Allen Company
announced the O'Neill version "presented
by special permission of James O'Neill,"
the name of O'Neill appearing in very
prominent type. "
While here last week, Mr. O'Neill was
informed of these facts and he im
mediately placed the matter in the hands
of Attorney Logan. Manager Erickson
of the Star had the following to say re
garding the trouble:
"When we decided to present 'Monte
Cristo' we ordered a large quantity of
special printing, from Ackermann &
Quigley, the lithograph house of St.
Louis, ordering it according to their cat
alogue. In this catalogue the name of
James O'Neili was not mentioned with
Monte .Cristo" paper. Hvhen the paper
arrived at . the depot It came C. O. T.
and had to be paid for before we could
open the packages or examine it. After
buying the paper we discovred that a
considerable portion of it carried the ame
of Mr. O'Neill, but not In such a manner
as to lead the public to believe that the
noted artist was appearing at the Star
Theater for 10, 20 and 30 cents. Any
blame should fall to the printing firm
for using Mr. O'Neill's name on the
paper."

Earth.
PEOPLE living in the houses on the
south side of East Washington street
between East Ninth and East Tenth
streets were awakened yesterday morning
at an early hour by what they thought
was an earthquake, as the buildings
trembled and settled under them. They
sprang out of bed in a hurry, especially
the two families who occupied the third
house from East Ninth street, as it set
tled down several feet and was on the
point of collapsing. The other houses
did not settle much, but trembled slightly.
These houses stand on high trestles and
face East Washington street, where there
has been an extensive fill of solid ground.
Part of this fill becoming saturated with
water, slid down and against the founda
tion of the third house from East Ninth,
pushing the supports out of line. The
families of H. H. Smith and J. Crider
occupied this one, and they were terribly
frightened when the house went down.
There was a sound of broken glass and
straining timbers, and they did not ex
pect to get out alive, but the house did
not settle any further, and they all
escaped as quickly as possible." At day
light they moved.
The foundations of the other fhouses do
not seem to have been affected In the
least. The bank caved down directly In
front of the one occupied by the Smith
and Crider families. This fill was made
several years ago and had the appearance
of being thoroughly compact. Dr. C. H.
Raffety owns the dwellings.

GRANTED MORE PAY
Application 'of Switchmen for
Increase Successful.
DATES FROM NOVEMBER 1
Advance Is Four Cents an Hour on
the Basis of a Ten-Hour Day.
Other Kmployes Are
Hopeful.
Switchmen employed by the Northern
Pacific, Northern Pacific Terminal 'Com
pany, Southern Pacific and O. R. & N.
have been granted an increase in wages,
to date from November 1. The Increase
was asked some time ago, but a decision
has just been reached. It was agreed to
date the advance from the time it was
asked. ,
Switchmen will be advanced 4 cents an
hour, on a basis of a ten-hour day, with
half an hour's extra work to be recognized
as overtime. Day foremen in first-class
yards will be paid 35 cents, and night
foremen 37 cents an hour. Day helpers
will receive 32 cents and night, helpers
34 cents. In second-class yards, the scale
is 1 cent lower."
With the exception of clerks, all em
ployes of the railroads have taken up the
question of a raise in wages. Conductors
and brakemen on all lines west of Chi
cago are to ask for a 15 per cent advance.
In asking for a raise all along the line,
the men have the support of the organ
izations of trainmen . on the Western
lines.
The. granting of the request of the
switchmen for the increase "in pay is
taken by others to mean that the desired
increase of wages of engineers, which is
now pending with the railroads in this
state, will also receive favorable consid
eration. SHOWS XOHTHWEST'S GROWTH
Annual Keport of Northern Pacific
on Passenger Business.
The annual report , of the Northern Pa
cific Railway, recently issued, shows in
a striking' way .the growth of the Narth
western states. The statistics on pas
senger traffic illustrate how rapidly the
states of Oregon and Washington have
increased in population within the past
few years.
Passenger business out of Portland has
almost doubled over the Northern Pacific
since 1902. The increase amounts to over
80 per cent and is a more marked advance
than is shown out of either the Puget
Sound cities, , where Seattle has an in
crease of about 50 per cent and Tacoma
shows an advance of 75 per cent.
The palm must be awarded to North
Yakima, where passenger traffic has
more than doubled since 1902. The figures
for Lewiston show the business over the
Northern Pacific the past year is twice
that of 1902. Spokane's passenger busi
ness shows an increase of about 90 per
cent. The biggest advance In passenger
traffic oh the whole Northern Pacific
system .was . on. the West end.
WIIXTAM SfMURltAY RETURXS
East Taking Greater Interest In

William McMurray, general passenger
agent for the Harrlman lines in the
Northwest, returned home yesterday
from Chicago, where he has spent the
past two weeks in consultation with of
ficials of the Harriman system in regard
to the interpretation of the Hepburn Act.
Legal talent of the Harrlman system re
ported the latest views of the railroads on
provisions of the act that have heretofore
bothered officials in complying with the
act.
"The Middle West seems very pros
perous now," said Mr. McMurray upon
his return last night. "There is a large
amount of inquiry about the Pacific
Northwest and the railroad developments
In this territory are being carefully
watched. Apparently there is greater in
