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

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.

II FULLS ILL
Causes Hitch in Trial of Al
leged Counterfeiters.
EVIDENCE IS DAMAGING
Government Brings In INirther
Proof That Coon Gang Planned
to Make Bogus Coins
on Large Scale.
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

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

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.

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. Kes
ler, arranged for a session with the youth
after school, but that was not to young
Hoskins' liking, and he slipped out, wait
ing behind a water tank near the tracks
for the teacher to come by. When the
latter appeared, the boy stepped out and
offered to do battle, at the same time
knocking the unfortunate teacher down.
The school directors have taken a hand
in the row, and young Hoskins is held
under $750 bonds to appear before the
Justice of the Peace. No warrant. would
be Issued, however, for the teacher.

A GREAT SOPRANO.
Maconda's Voice Is Compared With
Sembrlch's.
Madame Maeonda, who will open tha

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.
The box-office will be open for sale of
seats on Tuesday morning, October 22.
