Action taken by the Council yesterday, upon motion of Councilman Bennett, In dicates that the officials are In favor, of entering Into partnership with the au thorities of Multnomah County to build a Joint City and County Jail and Emer gency Hospital. At yesterday's session of the Council the matter" of selecting a site for the proposed City Jail was taken out or the hands of the ways and means committee and was turned over to tho committee on health and police, with In structions to confer with County Judge "Webster. In making this motion." said Mr. Ben nett. "I do not intend any criticism to ward the members of the ways and means committee, for they have worked hard and have done their best to perform the duty assigned to them. In view of the fact that they will be very busy for the next two months on other pressing mat ters. I would like to see this work turned over to the committee- on health and po lice, with instructions to confer with the County Court." A vote was taken on the matter and the motion carried unanimously. Council man ' Bennett then declared himself Ftrongly In favor of immediate action on this important subject and said he fa vored the joint City and Cointy Jail and Emergency Hospital plan. Several others expressed themselves similarly. The selection of a site for a proposed new City Jail has thus far been in the hands of the committee on ways and means, composed of Councilmen Rush light, Cottel, Kellaher. Dunning and Vaughn, but is now. placed In the hands of the committee on health and police, composed of Cmincllmen Cnneannon, An nand and Wills. During the effort to se cure a site for the City Jail, several locations were offered, but none was en tirely satisfactory, and Building Inspector Ppencer declared that a new building is the only satisfactory means of solving the problem. A sentiment seems to pre vail that it would be better for the mu nicipality to enter Into an arrangement with the county, whereby both would erect a largo; modern Jail and emergency hospital. ' HAWKERS ARE TO BE HEARD Bcltling Intercedes for Peddlers Whose Business Is Threatened. Through the assistance of Councilman Beldlng, the street venders of peanuts, popcorn, candy and flowers will be given an opportunity to be heard on the pro- posed ordinance affecting their business. When the matter came up in the City Council yesterday afternoon, Mr. Belding in behalf of the interested pejaons, asked that the question be referred Vf the com mittee on licenses.- This was done. "t think' It nardly fair," said Mr. Beld ing. "to pass tills ordinance now, in view of the fact that no opportunity has been given the vendors to present their side of the case. The florists, on the other hand, were present at the meeting of the com mute at which the matter was discussed, and secured what thny wanted, while the hawkers knew nothing of it and were un represented." Some of the Councilmen are opposed to the increase in license fees now incor poratd into the proposed ordinance, as' they think it prohibitive and unjust. Councilman Bennett spoke in favor of the proposed new license fees as far as the Are limits go, but thought it might be wise to make a reduction for points further out. ' IX EG U IATE STREET SIGNS. Mayor Lane Advises Council to Pass New Ordinance. Because of the large number of busi ness signs of all kinds which are being put up in Portland. Mayor Lane asked the Council, at its session yesterday afternoon, to look into the matter of a new ordinance regulating signs. The re quest will be referred to a committee -for consideration, and a new law on the sub ject will probably soon be framed. Several requests for permission to put up signs throughout the city brought about tile Mayor's statement. He de clared that there are so many kinds of signs being put up that, in his opinion, a new ordinance should be passed 'regu lating the matter. "1 learn that in many of the Eastern cities they are taking measures to stop the placing of numerous signs," said Mayor Lane. "For the beauty of the city, I think it important that some new ordinance on this subject be drawn up and passed." it is probable that future Requests for signs of various kinds will be disallowed until the new law is put into operation. GUS C. MOSER TO RESIGN Will Run for Nomination as District Attorney as Republican. Gus C. Moser. deputy District Attorney under John Manning will resign January 1 and start the new year with a resolu tion to become District Attorney. He has decided to enter the lists against his present chief, seeking election on the Re publican ticket. That such were his in tentions was hinted at many times dur ing the Fall and early Winter, but con firmation of the rumor was not .secured until yesterday.- Mr. Manning han known of it for months past but declined to ask for Mr. Moser's resignation. Moser was given his present position because of his active work among Re publicans for Manning's election. DEATH OF FRANK B. COYNE Former Multnomah Club Athlete Parses Away in Manila. News was received yesterday of the death at Manila of Frank B. Coyne a for mer resident of Portland. He was a ion of the late Frank Coyne, and was reared in Portland. 'During his boyhood flays lie evinced a tendency toward ath letics and soon became well known in imateur circles. He first made his mark on the cinder path as a member of the Multnoman Amateur Athletic Club track team of 1804, 5f which crack athletic aggregation he tas a star member. At that time he ran fcith Bert Brazee. Ben Trenckman, Will fallant. Ed Tidcombe (since deceased) ind Bert Farrell, while Bert Kerrigan, William Jordan, Ned Barrett and Flana gan were also numbered prominently in track and field athletics. His specialty was in the 440 and 880 yards dashes, and in 1906, when Multnomah won the Pacific Coast championship, Coyne was a large factor In that victory. In 1897 Coyne went to Notre Dame .Uni versity at Nptre Dame, Ind., and suc ceeded In winning a large number of events on the track team of that famous athletic institution. He returned to Port land on the breaking out of the Spanish American war and joined Company H of the Second Oregon Volunteers and served with the organization throughout its stay in the Philippines. On the return of the regiment' to Portland Coyne remained at Manila with several other members' of the. regiment and secured a position in the Government service. He lived in the Islands almost continually ever since. Last January he made a visit to his relatives in Portland, and at .that time was so changed that several of his old fellow athletes had to be Introduced to him. for he had grown considerably and was fully 50 pounds heavier than when ' he wore the track togs of old Multnomah. George-Coyne, a brother, lives In Wood lawn, aPortlnd suburb. READY FOR SEATTLE TEAM Ml'LTXOMAH FOOTBAIi TEAM NOW AT ITS BEST. Men Turn Out Consistently for Practice and All Weak Spots Have Been Strengthened. Multnomah is ready for Seattle, and when the two old-time rivals line up on the gridiron tomorrow, those who brave the elements to witness the annual struggle for supremacy be tween the two leading athletic clubs of the Northwest will be treated to a ntost thrilling game, at least such is the prophesy of the football heroes who will wear the winged "M" colors in tomorrow's battle. - I Seattle comes to Portland with prac tically a clean record, for the only re versal that team has suffered this season was the 4 to 0 victory secured by the team representing the United States Battleship Nebraska. Since meeting the jailor lads Seattle has made a clean "swWp. The Seattle team this year is a much lighter and faster team than that which faced Multnomah in Portland last New Year's day. In addition to be proficient in the old style line-bucking game, the Washing tonlans have acquired considerable dexterity at the new game, the most pronounced feature of whicb. 4s the for ward pass, and it was by means of one of those new plays that they suc ceeded in scoring a victory over Mult nomah last week. Captain Frank Lonergan and his men have been at practice faithfully during the past week. Every day has witnessed the full strength of the Mult nomah squad at practice, and the last before the big game will take place at the usual hour today. Multnomah at present is in better shape for victory than at any time past in the present season. Heretofore the players have evinced but little disposition to. par ticipate in the preliminary workouts, and, outside of Captain Lonergan, there is scarcely a man who can plead guilty to having been present at every work out, except tUose of the past week. The defeat 'at the hands of Seattle seems to have awakened the dormant righting spirit of the clubmen, and judging from the -interest displayed during the week, the visitors are go ing to have considerable of a surprise sprung on them before the whistle an nounces the end of tomorrow's grid iron engagement. One especial feature of the clubmen's play will be the remarkable improve ment in the work of the ends, who have been more or less weak all sea son. "Weary" Chandler, for several years the star of the University ' of Oregon, has got Into v his stride, and is now as fast as he v ever was when wearing the lemon of the' State Var sity. When he went In the .game against Seattle he had participated In only two practices with the Mult nomah team. During the past week he has not missed an opportunity of learning the signals and teamwork of the club eleven, and the great improve ment he has shown Is a source of gen eral delight to the club adherents who Imagine the manner in whieff "Weary" will get into the game against the Seattle team. Kirby, the opposite end to Chandler on the Multnomah team, is slightly handicapped by a "Charley horse," but expects to be fit for the battle of his life when the whistle an nounces the commencement of the game. He has acquired his old-time proficiency which made him a record at Notre Dame, and with two such clever men at the end positions, Mult nomah will not suffer to any extent tomorrow. Dudley Clark, at fullback, or In a back-full position, scarcely needs com mendation, for every one in Portland knows what the splendid player can do when he gets Into the game. His work with the University of Oregon during the past season Is a sufficient guarantee that he will strengthen Multnomah greatly, and In addition will enhance the club's'chances of vic tory Immensely. His punting ability alone will assist Multnomah's ground gaining propensities fully 50 per cent The Seattle Athletic Club team will arrive in Portland tonight and will probably be quartered at the Oregon Hotel, where the management an nounced its intention of securing ac commodations. A .number of Seattle rooters and admirers of the team are coming with the football players and their voices will be heard on the field tomorrow. .
