13 THE MORNING OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 190T. FAIL TO SELECT CREMATORY SITE Officials Visit Various Loca tions, but No Choice Is Agreed Upon. Waterfront is probable Councllmen and Superintendent Daggalt Endeavor to Find Place That Will Bo Least Objection able to Majority Residents. Superintendent Daggett and a special committee on selection of a garbage crematory fcite visited a number of locations yesterday afternoon, but did not reach any selection. The choice is now narrowing down to several points that have been suggested, and It is probable that the committee will prepare Its report at another meeting that Is to he held tomorrow afternoon. It. lo probable that the selection of the committee will finally fall on a site adjoining the city barn, or a loca tion on the West Side waterfront. Both Cottel and Wallace still favor the Sullivan's Gulch property, but this was rejected by the Council and the present committee was instructed to confine its consideration to the West Bide. Rushlight suggests that the Incinera tor be built on the lane adjoining the city barn on Chapman street, north of Jefferson. This property was inspected by the committee yesterday, and is ac ceptable to Cottel, although Wallace does not favor It. No option on It has been secured, and if it is found impossible- to purchase it at a reasonable price condemnation proceedings will be started, .if the Council decides this is the proper place for the crematory. Superintendent Daggett favors the site on condition that a second crema tory be built on the East Side. Several places on the waterfront have been examined by the committee and a loca tion south of the business center is regarded with considerable favor. The chief objection against a site on the river front is that there might be trouble operating the plant during high water. The committee has been considering a location in North Portland. This is a 35-foot strip running from Twelfth to Thirteenth street, between Couch and Davis, and was offered to the city by Ludwig Wilhelm for 2o,000. It Is not unlikely that this would have been the choice had It not been opposite the Atkln3on school. The matter of municipal collection of garbage was mentionel. The proper procedure for the Council, according to Rushlight, Is to buy a site first, then erect a crematory and finally tak up the method of garbage collection. "The recommendation of the Health Board is by far the beat suggestion yet made," declared Cottel. "The Commis sioners weff very emphatic In their rec ommendation and the Council should have abided by it. Now, hofiever, the thing to do is to find the best place on the West Bide and have the crematory erected as soon as .possible." Besides the Wilhelm site, other offers that have been made to the committee are as follows: Half acre in Marquam Gulch, near head of Seventh street, C. M. Idleman, $1500: fractional naif block, bounded by Washington, Stark and t.e river, Russell & Blyth. $100.00ft: block bounded bv Front. Salmon. Taylor and the river. Charles H. Lilly. $200,000 ; 6Ox?O0 on east side of Hood street, from Carutn--ers to Sherman, J. Worlck, $10,000: four acres waterfront below University SWlngle Mill, W. M. Barnett, price not given. WILL BE INDEPENDENT Portland Presbytery Lays Plans to Become Self-Supporting. The special committee of the Port land Presbytery on self-support met yesterday and effected an organization to carry out the plans of making every church of the Presbytery self supporting, or at- least to relieve the Home Mission Board from contributing toward their support. Rev. William H. Foulkes, of the First Church, was elected president, and Rev. Anurew J. Montgomery, of the Third Churcn, "sec retary. Following is the complete com mittee: Rev. W. H. Foulkes, Rev. Henry Marcotte, Rev. E. M. Sharp. Rev. B. E. S. Ely, Jr.. Rev. C. VW. Hayes, Rev. A. J. Montgomery, ministers; Wil liam M. Ladd, Robert Livingstone, John Bain, O. M. Scott, W. H. Markell, S. P. Lockwood, elders. The Portland Pres bytery has been receiving annually $6200 from the Board of Home MIs Fions. and sending the board $1600. As suming self-support means that the Presbytery must provide about $4600 additional to what has been raised an nually, ami this is the problem this special committee was appointed to Bolve. This is a matter that concerns the Portland Presbytery only, and the meeting of the synod had nothing whatever to do with its' determination to become self-supporting. The min isters of the Presbytery rather resent tho Intimation that the movement was the outcome of pressure brought by the officials of the Home Mission Board. The movement was started several months ago, and only just now the definite step was taken. Contracts with the board remain In force until --March 31, 1S0S. and April 1, 19J8. the Portland Presbytery cuts loose entire ly from the Board of Home Missions. The other Oregon Presbyteries are not affected by this action of the Portland Presbytery, except as It may be an example for them. A convention of the elders and lay men of the churches of the Presbytery will be held in Portland October 22, at which time the special committee will lay before them plans to make the churches self-supporting. JUDGE DIMICK EXPLAINS Mr. Paget Comments on Singular Position of 'Clackamas Official. OAK GROVE, Or.. . Oct. 15. (To the Editor.) During a year's residence In Clackamas County, I have found my friend, Grant B. Dlmick. tho County Judge, a most accommodating official, ever alert to the material interests of the people In all sections of the county, and em therefore disappointed' to discover through The Oregonian's news columns today a characteristic which I have not hitherto observed. In The Oregonian's account of the Canby tragedy, resulting in the death of a 15-year-old boy, whilst drunk. It Is said: "The case has aroused Intense In dignation in this section of Clackamas County, and tha authorities will make a vigorous effort to prosecute the of fenders." who are editorially described as malefactors who violate law by selling liquor to minors. I also read the startling announcement that the County Judge before whom these alleged "malefactors" are to be given their preliminary hearing, deposited his personal check for $100 to guarantee the appearance of one of them. I would like to ask Judge Dlmick if it is not reason able to suspect that his decision In this case might possibly be influenced by his,, evident personal friendship for the bap keeper and alleged criminal he is assist ing? I would also like to emphasize this conspicuous illustration of a habit which the Republican party has of honoring those who are in sympathy with the dis reputable liquor traffic and those encaged In it. B. LEE PAGET. Chocolate and Cocoa Prices Rising Wo Trout 4a Blame, Declare Agent, but Consumption la Growing Fnst er Than Production of Cocoa Bean. CHOCOLATE and cocoa prices are going skyward iong with other luxuries and necessities, according to Arthur I. Kline, a dealer in the brown sweetness in the Portland Hotel yester day. Some people are ungracious enough to hint, or even say openly, some rather unkind things about "trusts" and attempt to class the mati nee girl's delight and the callow youth's financial despair with Portland slabwood; but Kline raises both hands on high and solemnly attests that it is all due to the scarcity of the cocoa bean Itself. "Yes, prices of chocolate and cocoa are going up rapidly," he eald yester day, "but it is not our fault. You see, the demand for chocolate has increased enormously within he past year, and today 1,000,000 people drink cocoa for breakfast where they used to drink coffee. Whether this advertising against coffee in the vain attempt to get everyone to drink a concoction of boiled water and browned breadcrumbs has anything to do with the demand for cocoa I don't know, but I think It has. People have read about what a horrible stomach-tanning stuff coffee is, tackled the near-cofTee mess for a while, and finally have fallen back on cocoa. That is about the eize of it, I suppose. "Then, too, good times have made more girls eat candy, and that uses up tons of chocolate dally. As It takes from eight to ten years to get a cocoa tree to bearing, the supply has not yet had time to overtake the demand. An other thing that has raised the prices is that the Customs-House has put into effect a new rule about duties on cocoa and chocolate, which makes us turn over more of our good money to Uncle Sam, and of course we have to take it out of the public. The officials are rais ing 'the ratings on us, in some cases as high as BO per tint." "Wrhat about a chocolate and cocoa trust?" he was asked. "Never heard of such a thing," he replied with the utmost astonishment. "Impossible to form one. Fight Is too keen between us as It is. It is a scientific principle, you know, that, what goes up must come down,' so to reverse matters, what goes down the throats of the American people too fast must go up Jut as fast in price." Whereupon the wily chocolate man counted the number of pieces of candy the telephone girl was eating per min ute, asked how many people there are in Portland, got out his pencil and went to figuring. BREAKS CAR MONOPOLY Judge De Haven Decides Against Exclusive Street Franchises. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15. A decision in the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals, rendered by Judge De Haven yes terday, breaks the hold of the streetcar monopoly and overturns the law which restrained one railway company from run ning its cars over the tracks of another. Judge De Haven holds that the city au thorities have a right to grant a fran chise to one railroad company to run Its cars on the tracks of another company for five consecutive blocks. The decision will enable the California-street road to run over the tracks of the United Rail roads to the ferry. The Geary-street road could also find a way to reach the water front. Under the ruling it would be al most Impossible for any one company to shut out another. The decision of Judge Sharpstein in the State Supreme Court, has been considered the law for 20 years, in which he held that the municipal au thorities had a right to grant exclusive franchises. This Judge De Haven shows was not concurred In by the majority of the court, and therefore was not conclu sive. MONTREAL STOCK PANIC Passing of Dividend ly Detroit United Railways the Cause. MONTREAL, Quebec, Oct. 15. The stock market was in a panic, as the result of the passing of the quarterly dividend of the Detroit United Rail way. This stock is very largely held here. From 60 at the close of the mar ket yesterday it dropped to 40 at the opening today, and later on to 2S. Toledo dropped to 10. and the whole market was badly affected. A good el aed fraction of the total common stock Is held here, it having been bought after it had been booked as a safe dividend-earner. Widows and or phans in plenty are depending upon the dividends of this stock for part of their sustenance. The street is full of stories of people who have lost heavily by the slump, and there wa the great est excitement on the stock exchange. Court Grants New Trial. Upon the ground that new evidence has been discovered in the case of W. O. N. Morrison against E. E. Miller, the attorneys for the plaintiff yester day entered a motion for a new trial, and the motion was granted by Judge Frazer, of the State Supreme Court. Technical objections were interposed by the defense but these were swept aside by the Judge, who said that the courts are established for the adminis tration of justice and not for the en forcement of technicalities. Morrison alleged in his complaint that an agree ment was made with Miller whereby the plaintiff was to receive half the commission for the sale of 320 acres of real estate In Cowlitz County, Wash ington, in case he found a purchaser The property sold for $37,500, Morri son alleges, to a purchaser he found Morrison Is suing for $937. The proof of the contract was defective at the former trial. If Babr Is Cutting reeth Be sure and use that old well-tried remetfT Mrs Wlnsiow's Soothing Byrup, for children teething".

Owing to the Illness of W. H. Mc Cormack. one of the jurors, the trial of the Coon gang of alleged counter feiters was adjourned by Judge Wol verton .In the United States Circuit Court at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon until this morning. During the day Assistant United States Attorney Cole for the Government plied up much ad ditional testimony of a damaging char acter against the three defendants, Jo hannscn. Coon and Williams, and fur ther fastened on them the alleged con spiracy to defraud the Government. The most Important witness for the Government yesterday was C. K. Mills, who was arrested as a member of the gang and has since pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy. While on the stand Mills detailed the plans of the conspiracy, which was further supr ported by the introduction of letters that passed between him and Coon. The hydraulic press, purchased in New York by Johannsen, was traced from the East to Baker City by the intro duction of the original shipping re ceipt and bill of lading, In which Jo hannsen appears under the alias Wil liam Nicholas, while Mills, the con signee, who received the machine at Baker City and afterwards turned tt over to Coon, adopted the name of H. H. Wibrock. These papers were identi fied and explained to the court and jury by J. W. Trlbble. assistant chief clerk of the accounting department for the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company at Portland. Mills testified that the proposition of engaging In the counterfeiting busi ness was first suggested to him by Elmer Turner early in the Summer of 1901. Afterwards the witness said he furnished $400 to finance the scheme, delivering the money to Turner with the understanding that it was to be given to Coon, who was to operate the plant, vrhilo he, ns capitalist, was to share the profits. In September, 1905, Mills said he tired of the job. and to gether with the Turner brothers, de cided to have nothing further to do with their associates. He denied that he had been promised fmmunity by the Government if he would testify against the other defendants. Williams was assooiated with Coon and Johannsen in the alleged conspir acy by the testimony of J. W. Garner, cashier of the Astoria Savings Bank, and C. H. Northey, cashier of th Bank of Huntingdon. The former identified JURY LEGUMES OFFER NOURISHING DIET IN MANY STYLES OF COOKING Appearance, Flavor and Method of Serving May Be Varied and Appetites Thereby Tempted. BY LILIAN TINGLE. BX INCREASING the amount of legumes in the diet it is very necessary to take every opportunity of varying the appear ance, flavor, and method of serving, since most people tire of this class of food more readily than of cereals or flesh foods. Soups, made as described in a former article, are perhaps the most easily digested of legume dishes. Such soups, with bread and fruit, may often provide as much nourishment as is neces sary at a single meal. In any case it must be remembered that they contain far more nourishment, both of the fuel and of the tissue building kind, than a corresponding amount of thin soup such as broth or consomme: and due allowance must be made for this in the meal which Is to follow. A glance at the following analyses of equal quantities of a few typical soups (as shown in Richard's and William's "Dietary Computer") may help to em phasize this point: Cost Proteld Fat Name of dish. Ce nts. Grains. Grains. Consomme 15.5 2$ 1 Tomato soup .11 23 88 Potato soup : 14.S 26 32 Split-pea soup 6 6 62 82 If you are unaccustomed to dietetic terms, don't be scared of the headings and figures, but simply remember that the term proteld represents the tissue building element in food stuffs, and fats and carbohydrates (which include starches and sugars) represent the fuel element; while the term "caloric' is a unit measure of heat used to denote the energy giving power of food. Proteld food is capable of supplying heat and energy as well as building tissue. Fats and carbohydrates - supply heat and energy, but cannot build tissue. Now with some understanding of these points look again at the table and notice that for less than half the cost, split pea soup gives 13 times the amount of heat and energy and offers twice as much tissue building material as compared with consomme. The latter, however, has ad vantages in regard to flavor, stimulating effect and, probably, ease of assimilation. The prices quoted, by the way, are not Portland prices, but those of Boston some four or five years ago. The relative pro portion, however, still holds good. The quantities are estimated for six people. That is the end of today's lesson In dietetics. Next, I want to offer a few suggestions for the garnishing and ac companiments of similarly made soups, so as to afford a desirable variety in flavor and appearance. These may be conveniently shon in the following, foundations being mentioned first, then special flavorers and lastly garnishes: White beans, hams, onions, celery, fried Croutons. Black beans, mustard, celery, slices of hard-boiled egg; and lemon. Lima beans, onion, celery, whole beans, chopped parsley. Loya beans, celery, onion, clove, pepper sauce, small rings of browned onions. Mexican beans, tomato, garlic, cayenne, chopped olives. Split pea. onion, carrot, ' bam, dried or finely chopped mint. Green pea (dry), sag-a or mint, a little sugar, bay leaf., finely shreded lettuce. Lentils, ham. parsley, alsplce, onion and carrot, tiny squares oftoat. Pepper and salt is understood with all, of course. The "flavorers" mean some thing In addition to the chopped soup vegetables formerly spoken of, or some extra proportion of one or more of them as for example celery or onion. Celery seed or celery ' leaves, fresh or dry, may be used. Whole spices are meant. Where they are used it Is sometimes convenient to tie them with the celery seed in a t'.ny piece of muslin or cheesecloth so that they can be easily removed before serving:. Many people find that the use a draft for $100 that had been bought I at the Astoria bank by Williams for" Coon. The Huntingdon bank official identified the same draft as the Instru ment he had cashed for Coon, who re guested in its payment that he be given $50 in $5-gold pieces. Another strong witness against Wil liams was Frank Dayton, of the Day ton Hardware Compmy, of this city, who testified that the defendant nego tiated with his Arm for the purchase of a hand press and a reamer, such as are used for making medals, subse quent to the time the hydraulic press that 'had been shipped from the East was found unsuitable for manufactur ing gold coins. Edward A. Johnson, representing the Watson-Stone Company, of New York city, has explained further his testi money offered Monday. Tho machine his firm sold to Johannsen. said the witness, was one for the purpose of manufacturing medals or badges, in stead of coining money as he was re ported to have said. If Juror McCormack recovers- from his indisposition sufficiently to permit the trial to be resumed this morning, the Government will conclude its case probably before the noon receB. CLAIM TIP FROM HE GRAYS HARBOR OFFERS TO BET OS DECISION. Says He Sees Xoles of Supreme Court Stenographer on County Division. The Report Is Flatly Denied. OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct 15. (Special.) The State Supreme Court made direct and searching investigation of charges that have been circulated concerning the court and its employes by persons at Grays Harbor and may order the punishment for contempt of court of those responsible for the rumor. The -report circulated there was that the brother of an attorney who re cently visited Olympia had, while here, been shown the notes by a stenogra pher of the Supreme Court and that these notes showed that four members of the Supreme Bench had decided against and three members of the bench for the constitutionality of the act of the last Legislature creating the County of Grays Harbor. Based on this report it is said wagers of large sums of money were made at Grays Harbor as to the decision rendered. The stenographers of the Supreme Court have been employed for a long period of time and every mem ber of the bench has absolute confi dence In their honor. Aside from this, those familiar with the Supreme Court decisions pronounce the report ab surd from its impossibility. The pro cedure in the court Is such the ste nographers do not , 'know how the court stands until the decision is filed and made public. Vancouver Barrack Notes. VANCOUVER BARRACK'S, Wash., Oct. 15. (Special.) In accordance with Instructions from the War Department, the One Hundred and Fiftieth Company of mint with pea soup' tends to prevent flatulence. Any of these "purees" may be con verted into "cream soups" by the addi tion of slightly thickened milk. In an avowedly, economical article I dare not mention real cream I suppose; but I have pleasant recollections of a country lunch eon, In Winter, where "cream of pea soup" made from dried whole peas, had delicious islands of-whipped cream float ing on Its delicate greenish surface. .There is a long list of other legume dishes besides soups and the deservedly popular or sometimes unpopular baked beans Boston and otherwise. After cook ing beans, peas or lentils until soft, you may put them through a sieve or vege table press to remove the indigestible hulls, and then with a little nicely flavored "binding sauce" as for meat croquettes, you may make up attractive vegetarian croquettes, cork shaped, pear shaped or round, as your fancy dictates. These may be egged and crumbed and fried In the usual way or baked In the oven. With the price of eggs dally climb ing skyward, I find a tolerably good method is to brush the croquettes, after Carbohy- ' drate Calorics ' Grains 3 1S 79 1 103 1T1 1729 163 17SS shaping, with melted fat, then roll them in sifted bread crumbs. Have the crumbs on a sheet of paper. It is much easier to handle than a plate: for by tipping the corners you need not touch crumbs or croquettes with your hand, and moreover, you have one less article to wash when cleaning up time comes. The truly economical woman is as careful of her time and energy as she is of her material. When the croquettes are nicely crumbed set them in orderly rows on a baking tin and bake them. If you use bread crumbs that are already brown you need allow only time enough in the oven to heat them thoroughly to the center. Pre pare them the day before you need them. or In the early morning for an evening meal. You can also bake a similar mix turewith or without the addition of rice or chopped vegetables in ramakin cases or scallop shells, though that increases dishwashing, or you can make up "rolls" and "loaves" which may be baked, or steamed, veal loaf fashion, in a baking powder or coffee tin. For the latter, how ever, a beaten egg is necessary to bind the ingredients; or Instead of a well shaped bean or lentil roll, you will turn out a dismal "mess of pottage" for which no Esau would be foolish enough to sell his birthright. Then there are vegetarian ragouts un ending In their variety., in which different vegetables and whole legumes, previously cooked in the hay box until soft, are stewed together In a brown, red tomato, or white gravy, and served in a neat border of mashed potato or boiled rice. And finally and most tasty of all there are curries of various kinds in which different cooked legumes may take the place of meat. Curry, however, is not to be given to children nor eaten in excess by anyone. A good carry sauce lor gen eral use is made as follows: Chop a large onion fine and slightly brown It in three tablespoons of oil or dripping. Add a sour apple also chopped, then the curry powder in quantity to suit the individual taste, from one teaspoonful up to two or three tablespoonsful, and two level table spoonfuls of flour. A hopeless looking mush results; don't be discouraged, add 1H cups cold water or stock and bring to a boil, stirring all the time. Cook five minutes". Season rather highly with pepper, salt, sugar, and a dash of lemon or vinegar. Then add the cold cooked beans, peas or lentils, until It is thick, and H cup sultana raisins, if liked. Eat a small quantity, of this with a large quantity of boiled rice. Any kind of chutney Is a good accompaniment. litroduict f r ti n Worth up to $15, Special Handsomely Ge wariz & Worrell "Opposite Oregonian" Coast Artillery has been transferred from Fort Worden to Fort Ward, Wash.

"TOUGH" BOY AND TEACHER Smokes Cigar In School, Whips the Teacher and Is Arrested. ECHO, Or., Oct. 15. (Special.) Willie Hoskins has been expelled from school for disorderly conduct, and the irate father of the boy has failed in his efforts to get a warrant for the teacher's arrest. It seems that young Hoskins, In at tempting to be "tough." came Into school smoking a cigar, which he refused to throw away. The principal. L. W.

Maconda's Voice Is Compared With Sembrlch's. Madame Maeonda, who will open tha Lois Steers-Wynn Coman course of con certs on Thursday evening, October 24. at the Heilig Theater, ia a great soprano, with a range of voice equal to Sam brich. Her opening numbers in the third concert came as a' startling climax to all that had preceded. The runs, trills and bravura vocalization in the air from "Magic Flute" aroused memories of Nail son. Lucca, Kellogg and Marie Roze in the "Jewel Song" from "Faust," and Gerster in "Travlata," the "Mad Scene" from "Lucia," and Pattl in "Semira mide." In the role of Aida, with heavy solos in first and second acts; duets with alto and baritone, three ducts with tenor, were all perfection of a splendid soprano. A duet with Van Hoose in the closing act was equal, or at least as beautiful, as that of Sembrlch and Caruso in the last act of "Martha," says an Ann Arbor critic.
