Ordinance Granting McCorkle
Railroad Entrance to City
Vetoed by Mayor.
PROMOTER IS INDIGNANT
Calls ExecutlTe's Act "a Bunco Game
Pure and Simple" Says Council
Will Stand by Him in
the 3Iatter.
Mayor Lane yesterday filed a mes
sage vetoing the ordinance granting a
franchise to the Tortland & Mt. Hood
Railway Company. Dr. M. G. McCor
kle, the promoter of the enterprise, de
clares that it is an act of bad faith on
the part of the Mayor. The Council
will hold an adjourned meeting this
afternoon, but the franchise probably
wili not be considered until the next
regular meeting;. Dr. McCorkle says
ha has a sufficient number of friends
in the Council to pass the frarchU
over the vet.
The burden of The Mayor's message
in that the franchise does not provide
for the construction of the. road to Mt.
Hood, but to a point 40 miles from
Portland In an easterly direction. In
his veto message the Mayor says that
this would make the terminus 20 miles
from Mt. Hood. He also says that
ttie absence of a common-user clause
Is enough to condemn the franchise.
Dr. McCorkle declared last night
that Mayor Lane had given him and
the company's attorney to understand
that the franchise met his approval, as
Uev ttSti taken pd.n.s to consider his
wishes v.'l?n Xhc fva.'chisu was heiu?
draf'ed.
"It is a bunco game pure and sim
ple," said Dr. McCorkle. "We firmly
believed, and had every reason to be
lieve, that we would not be opposed by
Mayor Lane, and acting under that jus
tifiable supposition we had made ar
rangements to begin construction
work.
"Mayor Lane was given a copy of the
franchise, and he told my attorney
that ho approved our plan. At the
very .cast I think it a small trick on
nis part.
Will Build to Mountain.
"The franchise provides that we fur
nish a bond of $50,000. forfeitable ;in
lns we complete the railway to a point
40 miles east of the city within a pe
riod of three years. Now what could
we possibly want with a roa1 extend
ing only 40 miles out of the city?
The count--y we shall ponetraro is not
developed or rich enough to make the
road a paying proposition unless we
build to Mt. Hood and secure the pa
tronage ofr tourists. We intend to
and will build to the very summit of
Mt. Hood.
"I would not give 15 cents for the
privilege of operating ort the desig
nated streets on the East Side unless
we could build the line to Mt. Hood.
When w first considered the project
we learned that we could secure an
entrance to the city without obtaining
a franchise, but we did not deem It
wise to put ourselves under obliga
tions to anyone.
"The veto is intended to delay us,
but we shall go ahead just the same,
as I am satisfied that the Council will
stand by us and grant us the franchise.
The Councilmen have fully investigat
ed our proposition and know It to be
perfectly legitimate In every respect."
The franchise, which is for 25 years,
provides that the work shall begin
within eight months from the date of
the granting of the franchise, upon the
acceptance of which $500 shall be paid
to the city. For the next four years
$r00 shall be paid each year, l-'or each
of the next ten years $1000 shall be
naid, and $1500 for each of the last ten
rears.
The Mayor's veto message follows:
Text of the Message.
To the Honorable the City Council: I here
with return ordinance No. lti,24o not ap
proved. This is an ordinance which grants
to the Portland & Mount Hood Railway
Company, its successors ana assigns, the
right to lay down, maintain and operate
railways, poles, wires and underground con
duits in the City of Portland for a period
of 25 years. It provides that said Mount
Hood Railway Company shall commence the
construction of a railway within th city
limits within a period of eight months from
the final approval of this ordinance, and
shall complete the construction thereof
within a period of two years thereafter and
Khali complete the said ruilway to a point
40 miles easterly of thin city within a pe
riod of three years from such time. By
way of compensation for these privileges
and of guarantee for the performance of
th same the city Is to receive twenty-two
thousand and Ave hundred dollars $li2.
f.uO.OOi In certain annual payments, and a
hond for fifty thousand dollars $30,000. 00
for tho completion of the railway to a
point 40 miles east of the city within a
period of three years.
I had st all times, until it came to me
for my signature, supposed that this fran-
chl?t was being sought for the purpose of
e-onst rue tine a railway to Mount Hood, a
road to which point would he of great
value to this city, and to which end the.
city could afford to make some substantial
concessions, but I find on investigation that
It nowhere makes any provision for the con
struction of a railway line to that point
either now. or at any future time. It does.
"however, pro v id it for the construction of a
railway line for a distance of 40 miles east
of this city, which would, howeer, bring It
not nearer than !0 miles of Mount Hood,
with the most serious difficulty of construct
ing fiUL'h road still to be overcome.
ITHiicliise Merely Option.
This franchise then seems to me to be
merely an option granted by the City of
Portland In return for the sum of fifteen
liundrert dollars t$1300.oo to be paid in in-
tallmeiUs of five hundred dollars i,VR.00
each year for three consecutive years and
t toured by a bond of fifty thousand dollar
i.tf.LHtrt.Ot in return for the exclusive use
of certwln Ftrerts for a period of two years
and eight iitmtnn, during which time the
grantees of this valuable concession are not
required to build one mile of railway, nor
lay a foot of rail. I do not think that the
'itv or fort land, as a corporation, can af
ford to enter Into any such bargain. There
is no clause providing for a common nse'of
the facilities granted to this corporation by
any other company, which of itself is enough
in my opinion to condenjn It.
There are oth-r grave faults with this or
dinance, which are mimical to the greater
Interests of this city; these, however, are
rnoush, and I will uot dwell longer on the
subject. Respectfully, HARRY LANE.
Mayor.
St. Johns Census Taken.
Mrs. W. 1. Thorndyke, wife of the City
Recorder, has completed the census of St.
Johns for the director?- which she will
iwuie, and reports that the population is
3-57. A house-to-house canvass wns made
And the estimate is based on this work.
The population of St. Johns was a little
over 3oe when the city government was
first organized, hence the growth has
been remarkably rapid. Mrs. Thorndyke
undertook the preparation of the direc
tory in order to sret out into the oii&n
mm
air, and the work was accomplished In
three weeks. The directory will be pub
lished and distributed free. The, adver
tising it carries will more than pay the
cost.

CANADIAN PACIFIC ENTERS

prediction has often been made that a
Canadian Pacific line will be built from
the international boundary to the Pa
cific Northwestern cities, and this may
follow after the road becomes more firmly
established in this territory.
Jab at Hill by Harriman.
The significance of this traffic agree
ment, it is believed, is the . chance Mr.
Harriman sees to add to the revenues of
the O. R. & N., while at the same time
he will aid a sharp competitor of the Hill
lines in the contest for traffic between
Portland, St. Taul and other Hill terri
tory. The arrangement was personally
approved very recently by Mr. Harriman
himself
The reason passenger trains are not
.put on at once to Portland is that the
Spokane International, built for the
Canadian Pacific, is still largely un
ballasted and is unsafe for passenger
trains. The line is a new one but Is
rapidly being put in condition and when
it is ready, complete ser"iiee will be of
fered from this city by the Canadian line.

RECORDS TO BE SCANNED

ship for the AVorkingnian.
The Portland Labor party will not pass
on the merits of the various candidates
for city offices that have been proposed
for the indorsement of that organization
until next Wednesday night. At a meet
ing of the board of control of the Labor
party last night these indorsements were
expected to be determined, but instead
there was appointed a committee that
will investigate the record of the differ
ent candidates suggested, especially with
reference to the position of each with re
sard to organized labor.
This report will be submitted at another
meeting to be held next Wednesday night,
when the referendum ballot will be pre
pared for submission to a vote of the

members of the different unions that are
affiliated with the Federation of Labor.
Jast night's meeting was attended by
about 90 delegates of the 144 members of
the committee that were entitled to seats
in the convention. The convention adopt,
ed a resolution against making public the
candidates whose names were proposed.
The name of John B. Coffey, who already
has been proposed for Mayor by the
Teamsters' Union, through the Federated
Trades Council, followed the routine that
has been adopted for considering these
nominations. Thomas C. Devlin, another
Mayoralty candidate, his friends claim,
has a good following among the labor or
ganizations of- the city and It is a strong
probability that his candidacy likewise
was referred to the Investigating commit
tee. Just what other candidates have been
proposed for Mayor and for the offices of
Auditor. City Attorney and Councilmen.
neither the chairman or the secretary of
tne meeting would reveal. Ed. T. Hatch,
Indorsed by the Freighthandlers' Union
for Auditor, and William R. McGarry,
favored by the Carmen's Union, for City
Attorney, will also be passed upon by this
committee. These nominees were sug
gested by the Federated Trades Council.
Divided as to Polley.
There Is a divided sentiment among the
members of the committee as to the ad
visability of placing a straight Labor
party ticket in the field at the approach
ing election. But this question will be
finally considered at the meeting of the
committee next week.
"No candidate for any office of any
character will be indorsed by the Labor
party," said Secretary T. M. Leabo last
night, "unless he subscribes unqualifiedly
to our platform. Some of the candidates,
whose names have been presented, have
not so declared themselves. They will be
seen by our Investigating committee and
their candidacy will not receive any fur
ther consideration by our organization
until we learn where they stand with re.
spect to organized labor."
The referendum election will be held by
each of the unions as soon as the ballots,
which will contain the names to be agreed
upon by the committee, can be printed
and distributed. The original record of
the vote so taken will be retained by the
union and a duplicate transmitted to the
central committee, by which the vote cast
by the 48 unions will be canvassed and
the successful candidates announed. Sub
sequently an assembly of electors, chosen
from among the labor unions, will be
called, when the candidates that receive
the greatest number of votes in the refer
endum election wili be formally nomi
nated as the choice of the Labor party.
"The sentiment among organized labor
workers of Portland," said J. J. Price,
chairman of the central committee of
the Federation of Labor, last night, "is
practically unanimous for placing a
straight labor ticket in the field at the
approaching municipal election. Such
a movement will have the support
of every union man In Portland. Or
ganized labor has heretofore refrained
from indulging in politics as an organiza
tion in this city, and this will be the
first time that a straight labor ticket
has been seriously considered.
Chairman Price States View.
"We are desirous of determining our
true strength in this city and w-e
think this course Is the most direct
means of gaining this knowledge. The
candidate of the Labor party need not
necessarily be a man that is identified
directly with the labor organizations if
we can be satisfied that he will give an
administration of the office In the real
interests of the people."
"The time seems to me to have arrived
when organized labor of this city should
take a hand in municipal affairs," said
another prominent member of the Fed
eration of Labor yesterday. "There is
no reason . why we should not have a
full Labor ticket In the field in the com
Ing city election. Sentiment among the
members or tile 48 unions that are affili
ated with the Federation of Labor almost
unanimously favors placing a complete
ticket in the field and conducting a vigor
ous campaign in its support.
"Conceding that Mayor Lane will again
be the choice of the Democrats or will
run as an independent candidate regard
less of whom the Republican candidate
may be. I am satisfied that In three
cornered fight for Mayor the contest will
lie between Mayor Lane and the candi
date of the Labor party. There are affili
ated with the Federation of Labor In this
city about 7000 men. We figure that we
may depend on the support of many other
laboring men of the city, who. while not
affiliated with any of the trades unions
of which the Federation of Labor is com
posed, will support the labor candidate
as against either of the candidates of
the two old political parties. Under these
TPHOVEWOR
circumstances we believe that we have a
good chance to win.
Lane Not so Strong.
"Mayor Lane is not as strong with the
labor organizations of the city as he was
two years ago, when the labor vote was
a material factor in contributing to his
election. Those affiliated with these
unions now criticise JAayor Lane for his
course in connection with the recent
streetcar strike, when we think he gave
the policemen too much latitude In treat
ing with the situation. For this reason
the present executive of the city cannot
expect the liberal support from this
source at this time that he received two
years ago.
"We are satisfied that we can win the
fight if we nominate for Mayor a candi
date that can solidify the labor vote of
the city and at the same time invite the
support of the independent laboring vote
that is affiliated with the Republicans and
Democrats. This we propose to do. Talk
of any serious division of sentiment on
this question within the Federation of
Labor emanates only from men that
would in that way create dissension that
is not to be found in the organization."
William J. Cuddy, who was proposed by
the Federated Trades as a candidate for
nomination as Councilman-at-Large, last
night formally withdrew his name and
would not consent to be the choice of
the Labor party for this nomination.
"I appreciate the proffered honor," said
Mr. Cuddy last night, "and would be
pleased to serve the people of Portland
as a member of the City Council. But
it is a matter of principle with me- I
believe that a man to serve consistently
as a member of the Council or in any
other official capacity should be working
for himself, rather than be in the employ
of someone else."

adopted providing for the initiative and

tion the names of one or more candidates
for any and all of the offices to be elected.
These nominations are then submitted to
the central committee of the organiza
tion. This committee consists of three
delegates from each of the 48 unions of
which the Federation of Labor Is com
posed. The function of the committee is to In
vestigate into -the character of each can
didate and ascertain his position towards
organized labor. If a candidate is found
to be morally unfit for the office for which
his name has been suggested or the fact is
established that he Is unfriendly to labor,
then the committee is authorized to rule
adversely and the name of that candidate
will receive no further consideration.
Where nothing objectionable is -learned
concerning the candidate, his name is
placed on a ballot along with those of the
other candidates, who have passed mus
ter. A referendum vote is then taken by
the members of the different unions and
the candidates receiving the greatest
numbr of votes cast are accepted as the
choice of the Labor party.

PAT MANNING is as fond of trouble as
he is great In height and avoirdupois.
On account of his belligerent ' disposition
Pat now occupies a bunk in cell No. 6 of
the City Jail.
Pat's fondness for alcoholic decoctions
set up for the indulgence of the numerous
patrons and hangers-on by the many
booze emporiums 1ft the district known
to police circles as the North End Is the
direct cause of his present discomfiture.
The most galling part of Manning's
troubles is the fact that he was arrested
by Patrolman Humphreys, who is about
two feet less in stature and 100
pounds short of Manning's weight.
Humphreys had no intention of mo
lesting the gigantic fellow, but Man.
ning offered a number of slurring
remarks on the police force In general
and of one policeman In particular, all of
which were uttered in the' hearing of the
bluecoat.
The remarks being repeated a third and
then a fourth time, the policeman turned
to caution the man to be a trifle more
careful of his utterances.
To the officer's dismay, the gigantic
frame of the inebriated person approached
and a couple of strong arms caught the
representative of- the law around the
shoulders and neck and the following was
hissed in his ear: "Arrest anny wan.

Humphreys succeeded In wriggling out
of the bearlike hug; and aa he got clear

a deep slumber. Humphreys dodged the
blow and when Manning recovered from
the force of his swing, he gazed into
the muzzle of a blue-barreled sixshooter
backed up by a steady hand, over which
peered the steely gray eyes that spoke

PROFESSOR WAL WILLSON was
going to give a big dance last Sat
urday night, and he wanted the public
to know all about it, so he issued a
supply of posters and turned them over
to Mr. Sid Blumenthal, of the Empire

Wishing to complete the task of

by placing them all over the city on

city ordinance. After so doing, he
made his escape, leaving the others to
bear the result.
The police arrested Professor Will
son and S. Blumenthal, haled them be
fore Municipal Judge Cameron and he
fined each of them $5 yesterday morn
ing. When Professor Willson was arrested,
he had no money for bail, but secured
permission to go out and secure $25,
to guarantee his appearance in court
Monday morning. He went and start
ed his dance and intended using the
first $25 taken In at the door, but the
police wearied of his absence and an
officer went and took him to the station-house.
He had but $10 at that
stage of the game, and by comunlcat
ing with Judge Cameron over the tele
phone, arranged for his release on the
$10.
The dancing master declares that
he was entirely innocent of any wrong
intention. As soon as his posters
were printed he turned them, as he
supposed, over to an authorized bill
poster, and paid the billposter a good
price for circulating them. He thinks
it unjust that he should be made to
suffer for the misdeeds of another.
