Since the beginning ot the trial, Ked-

watching him closely. At first this was
imagined to be nothing more than a
curious interest on his part, but it had
a purpose, as was shown when he took;
the stand. Asked regarding the sanity
or insanity of the defendant from his
observations while In court, the witness
replied that the prisoner, in his opinion,
was same.
"By what observations or yours did
you come to Ui)s conclusion?" asked
Attorney Vance.
"Well, the defendant appeared to take
in everything: that was g-olng- on. ludgins
from the expressions that flitted across
his face. He smiled at amusing things
nd did not smile at improper times. He
maintains drfTerent positions. walks

Mass Meeting Discusses Pro
posed Changes.
MAYOR LANE GIVES VIEWS
Committee Appointed to Consider
AVI tit Water Board Xestred Amend
ments to Charter for Submission
to People at June Election.
After a leng-thy discussion of the water
question at a mass meeting- last night in
Oddfellows' Hall, Grand avenue, called
by the East Side Business Men's Club,
and attended by delegates from all sec
tions of the East side, the Mayor and
members of the Water Board, it was de
cided to refer the matter to a committee
composed of one member from each push
club. This committee will act with the
Water Board in the preparation or such
amendments to the charter as conditions
demand.
This action was the outgrowth "of the
numerous suggestions that were made by
those who addressed the meeting. Mayor
lne was the first speaker. He comment
ed at length on the splendid quality of
Bull Run water and the advantage it Is
to Portland in making this the healthiest
city in the United States. He reviewed
the work of the "Water Commissioners
In the past, and then remarKed that con-
dltions had changed and methods must
be changed to meet tho new conditions.
The Mayor said that the present method
of paying" for the extension of mains la
not fair, for the reason it taxes the home
builder to build up and &td value to
vacant lands. There axe other ways that
would be more fair, either to ta.3c the
abutting property, or tax a district for
the distribution system or pay the whole
cost by general taxation. He did not
recommend either plan.
Favors Meter Kates.
In speaking of the waste of water the
Mayor said that not more than 8.000.O00
gallons of water per day are really needed
in Portland at present, and that the re
mainder is wasted. Mayor Lane spoke
of the present rates, and" ejfyressed the
opinion that while they are probably as
Just as it is possible to make them, the
meter plan is the fairest, as it would
make every consumer pay for Just what
he uses and no more. He also declared
himself in favor of" making every vacant
lot pay a Bhare of the cost of laying
water mains and maintaining- the water
plant.
Dr. S. Joseph!, who has long been a
member of the Water Board paid a
tribute to the men who had handled tho
plant,' and declared that they had given
the City service It could not have secured
at any price, but conditions have changed
and other methods must be adopted. He
showed that the distribution system cost
Jl,3&6,000 and that $700,000 had been spent
In acauirine local plants. 'He then fle-
clared that every lot tributary to a water
main, vacant or occupied, should pay an
annual tax for extension and other pur-
pOSCS, additional to the regular rates
charged for water. He made a vigorous
argument for this plan, and also that the
charter should be so amended as to
compel the Council to levy a tax of
3-io or B-io of a mill to pay for water
used by the city, and pointed to the fact
that the city owes the water department
$00,0v0 whlcn It refuses to pay. rr.
Joseph! also spoke in favor of submitting
the question of laying a second pipe line
to -Bull Run. declaring that action should
be taken at once in order to get this
conduit completed in 1909.
W. O. Haines, of Irvington. spoke
against the free water Idea. declaring
there could be no such a thing. He
advocated the . meter plan as most
equitable for all concerned and favored
a second Bull Run pipe line.
Frank 3. Perkins then introduced the
following resolution:
