TWO JAILS IN ONE
City and County May Build
Jointly.
PROPOSED BY THE COUNCIL
Erection of New Prison Turned
Over to Committee on Health
and Police to Confer With
the County Court.
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. .
