14 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY DECE3IBER 18, 1907. REFUSES TO BEAR OF Streetcar Company Does Not Wish to Use Sullivan's Gulch Bridge. SO NOTIFIES MAYOR LANE Action Comes as a Surprise to City Officials Who Had Depended on the Corporation's Aid. Slay Delay Work. An official communication from B. S Josselyn, president of the Portland Rail way, Dirht & Power Company, addressed to Mayor Lane, the City Council and the Executive Board, was received yesterday at the City Hall, and conveys the infor mation that the corporation will bear no portion of the expense of building- the proposed bridge across Sullivan's Gulch on East Twenty-eighth street. This puts this new project, so important to that section of Portland, in a doubtful state, and it may become necessary to readver- tise for bids; it may be possible, even, that the enterprise will have to be aban doned. It had been assumed toy all city officials that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company would wish to use the bridfte. which it is planned to build of reinforced concrete, but from the positive declara tion or President Joselyn, It becomes apparent that the railway company has no eucn intention. This means that the city will have to bear the entire expense, approximately S83.O0O. Had the comoanv wished to use the bridge, its portion of tne expense, as provided by law, would have been one-fourth of the total. May Precipitate a Figtit. Inasmuch as the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has now de clared that it will not bear any of the expense, and in view of the fact that the project has advanced to where a con tract is about to be let. it Is generally believed that a fight will result between the city and the corporation, in order to force the latter to bear Its portion of the expense. Otherwise, it is thought by some, new bids will have to be called for. Oth ers think It possible that the entire "pro ject will be indefinitely delayed. At the City Hall yesterday It was de clared that the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company took precisely the ame action when the Grand-avenue bridge was projected, but that an opin ion from the City Attorney that the mu nicipality could force the corporation to bear its share of the expense caused the latter to change front. When Mayor Lane received the com munication from President Josselyn yes terday afternoon he was startled and de clared that It might be necessary to re advertise for ids, if the bridge was to be constructed, in case it became Impos sible for the city to compel the company to bear its. share of the cost. He said It would make a considerable difference In the structure and might necessitate new plans, if the car company did not use the new bridge. Says He Is Misquoted. Mayor Lane also denied a published statement to the effect that he had been outspoken against the selection of East Twenty-eighth street for the bridge. "I never spoke against any street," said the Mayor yesterdr.y afternoon. "I have been misquoted by a member of an East Side improvement club, who said that I am opposed to Bast Twenty-eighth street and that I have spoken in favor of East Twenty-first street. I have never spoken In favor of or against any of the streets in the vicinity, for I am not sufficiently familiar with the situation there to be a competent Judge of which is the best." The communication of President Josse lyn, in which he announces the refusal of his company to pay" any part of the construction of the projected bridge will come before the special session of the City Council tomorrow. The city officials will probably attempt to compel the corpora tion to bear one-fourth of the cost, and the matter will likely be referred to City Attorney Kavanaugh for an opinion. Important to East Side. The projected bridge Is one of the most Important matters now claiming the at tention of the East Side, and Is regarded as an absolute necessity, if that section of the city is to be developed. The resi dents of the district have been working on the matter for years, and the bridge has "been authorized for one year, but the contract has never been let by the (Executive Board; all of which has created an impression among some of those in terested in it that Mayor Lane is op posed to It. The Mayor declares, how ever, that he is not. Mayor Lane mentioned one feature yes terday that has not been considered, that being the constant jar of trains on the O. R. & N., which road runs through the gulch and will tunnel through the bridge. If it is built. Mayor Lane says he knew of a bridge In the East which cost a large sum, under which a railroad was operated. The bridge had to toe torn down. It was built of reinforced con crete, the material that is specified for the Sullivan Gulch structure. PTJMMAX MAY1 LOSE IICEXSE Council Committee's Recommenda tion Adverse to Conrad's Saloon. In all probability, the City Council will refuse to grant a renewal of the license of the Pullman saloon, 2S5 Alder street, conducted by John Conrad, and possibly also of the Armory Canteen saloon, lo cated at Tenth and Couch streets. The Pullman is a notorious resort, and Con rad has repeatedly been arrested for various- offenses, and has been convicted numerous times. The Armory Canteen, Mayor Lane asserts, is located too near the Atkinson school under the city char ter, although it has always been con ducted in an orderly manner. At Its meeting yesterday morning, the liquor license committee of the Council declined to recommend the renewal of the licenses of either of the saloons. The re port will be laid before the Council at to morrow's meeting. There will be about 4S7 saloon licenses renewed for 1908, and there will also be 37 wholesale liquor stores, eight grocery stores, 10 restaurants and six rectifiers licensed, all of which, will bring in a rev enue of St3,000. STILIi ANOTHER SITE OFFERED Hair-Block at Front and Davis for Garbage Crematory. One new proposed site for the city garbage crematory was received by the rpecial Council committee, named to se "lect a place for the institution, but as George I. Baker, the chairman, wan the only member of tlie committee present at the appointed hour yesterday after BURDEN noon, no action was taken other than to open and read the bid. It was for a half block at Front and Davis streets, and the price quoted is J10.000. It will be considered with others at a meeting of the committee to be held at 2 o'clock P. M.. next Tuesday. The bidders offering a site at Front, Montgomery and Water streets, withdrew their former quotation of J37.0OO and are now before the committee with an offer of $35,000 for the same property a re duction of $2000. made by them since the previous meeting, one week ago. Dr. George Strowbridge, representing numerous large faxpayers, was present with a lengthy petition against the ac ceptance of a proposed site on the water front, between Salmon and Taylor streets, but as no meeting was held, no action was taken. There has been no remon strance so far against the proposed site at the foot of Davis street, which seems to be Councilman Baker's choice. C1TV WILLi IiAY NEW WALK Brick Pavement Put In by Pen- noyer Estate Worn Out. Councilman Baker will introduce a resolution at the meeting of the Council tomorrow, authorizing the Executive Board to proceed with the laying of a ce ment sidewalk on the north side of Mor rison street, between 'West Park and Tenth streets. The City Engineer, ac cording to ' this procedure, will be in structed to do the work, and collection of payment for the same job be made by legal means, as prescribed by the char ter. . "The present condition of the old brick sidewalk on. the north side of Morrison street, between West Park and Tenth. Is an outrage," said Councilman Baker, speaking of the matter yesterday. "It must be changed at once, and inasmuch as the Pennoyer 'estate seems disinclined to do the work, I will introduce a resolu Won authorizing the Executive Board to instruct Civil Engineer Taylor, to lay a cement walk and collect by the method specified by the charter. It is something that cannot be allowed to drag along any more, but must be fixed at once, as the present old brick sidewalk is worn out and is a disgrace to that part of the city. - Nothing has been done on the block bounded by Morrison and Alder and West Park and Tenth streets for a long time. and it was learned yesterday that a new company Is being formed, to be known as the Portland Trustee Company, a branch of the Seattle Trustee Company, to take charge of the property. It is understood that J. B. Melkle, formerly secretary of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is to be the local representative of the cor poration. W. D. Wood, formerly Mayor of Seattle, is at the head of the Seattle Trust Com pany, lie visited Portland last week. but gave out nothing as to the plans of tne corporation touching the Pennoyer estate. He is now ill at his home, but is expected to return to Portland in the near future to investigate affairs relating to tnis property. L VOLUME OF BANKING TRANSAC TIONS IS INCREASED. Total for Day Largest in Many Months Effects of Panic Rap Idly Disappear. Rarely in their history have the banks of Portland done a larger busi ness than they transacted yesterday. Monday, being the first day following the removal of the holiday lid, some who had business to transact with the banks hesitated, expecting before the day closed to see some excitement, oc casioned by a general withdrawal of funds. The expectation was not real ized. With all doubts dispelled as to the strength of the banks, the suspi cious few Joined the army of regular depositors yesterday, with the result that the volume of the day's business was surprising, even to . the bankers themselves. The United States National Bank yesterday retired $66,000 of its Issue of clearing-house certificates and the same action is being taken by the other banks of the city. It is reasonably certain, with the very great improve ment In conditions locally, that the en tire issue of $l,100,oo of this emer gency currency will be withdrawn be fore February 1, next, when It becomes due. In the meantime It is being used principally in the payment of wages to out-of-town construction gangs, where it passes current and is just as acceptable as banknotes. Another healthful feature of the gen eral situation yesterday was an ad vance of from one-half to one point in New York stock quotations. There is every indication in all circles of re stored confidence which portends an early resumption of all activities mak ing for Portland's greater growth and "development. With the feeling of se curity in tne situation, which is every where apparent, it' is confidently pre dicted that Portland will soon don again her growing clothes and resume her commercial and building activities, which were partly suspended when the situation reached a stage that.suggest- ea proclaiming a series of bank holi days. Yesterday, as on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary happened at any of the banks, whose business equalled it not surpassed that of the active period Immediately preceding the re cent depression. The local effects of the threatened financial strlns-e nrv art "believed to have been removed entirly. MEMORIAL SERVICES TODAY Former Subjects Will Honor Mem ory of King Oscar.

SWAMP SHERIFF'S OFFICE Second Day After Holidays Makes Record for Handling of Next to Large.-t Number of Papers In Years. There was a marked falling away in the filing of legal instruments at the State Circuit Court yesterday, although, in spite of the reaction from Monday's unprecedented rush, the day proved the second heaviest of recent years. At clos ing hour 14 new complaints had been filed, 40 documents in cases already at hand were submitted and 27 transcripts were at hand in cases under investiga tion by the District Attorney's office. The filing clerks had comparatively an easy day after the campaign of the day before when close to 300 instruments were received. It fell to the Sheriff's office, however, to shed Its perspiration in the cause of the law and Sheriff Stevens had seven men hustling all day in getting service of process on the various defend ants. Just where the Sheriff and his men are going to get time for their Christmas shopping is a question that is not altogether clear, for the papers have to be served day and night and there Is no provision for extra help, the work falling as additional labor on the department. As on Monday, no suits were filed yes terday of unusual Importance. The most Interesting was one filed during 'the fore noon which described frenzied finance operations in a nutshell. The city, too, was charged with financial methods of a questionable order in a second suit. Di vorce complaints and miscellaneous suits to recover on loans made up the other cases. The case of frenzied finance developed in the filing of an amended complaint. The complaint, without elaboration, was worthy a place in a muck-raking mag azine's graft section. True, only about $261 in cash and property worth some hundreds more were involved, but the transactions of this corporation savored strongly of Wall street. ' J. L. Gilstrap is the plaintiff. He was acting as representative of stockholders of the Woodstock Band Company, repre sented as a corporation duly organized under the laws of Oregon. The suit was against the officers and directors of the corporation. George Hammond, president; C. F. Spaulding, secretary; Andrew Petrie. treasurer. These three likewise constitute the board of directors. Discord In Music Company. It seems from a perusal of the amended complaint that the company was organ ized for the purpose of dealing in musi cal instruments, and things went har moniously from the date of beginning, November 29, 1901, up to May 31, 1906, when the three men already named were selected as a board of directors. Pros perity had come to the company through dealings in various kinds of musical in struments from Jewsharps- to oboes. The corporation, among other things, bought Its own home over in Woodstock and was thriving immensely. The troubles of the corporation began with the election of 1906. The three mem bers of the board of directors held an election of officers and elected themselves to fill vacancies. Then they decided to rent the corporation's property. Other stockholders protested, whereupon the of ficers and board of directors held a Joint meeting at which all three were present. They decided to authorize the issuance of 15 shares of the unsubscribed for and unissued capital stock. It is alleged that this was done and after Mr. Spaulding. the secretary, had prudently purchased the new stock, the control of the cor poration's destinies were settled. The other stockholders could make all the noise they wished now and It made no difference. The balance of power . was with the corporation heads. So they decided anew to rent the prem ises and make other changes. Mr. Gil- strap says he offered $30 a month for the rent of the premises. But the operation of a corporation these days Is a thing peculiar within itself and It Is hardly strange to relate that the board of di rectors preferred to rent to the venerable secretary, Mr. Spaulding, on a basis of $15 per month. Later they allowed the secretary $44 lor repair bills and still later gave him $15 for a month's task in look ing after the building. The stockholders wept and wailed and gnashed their teeth and incidentally de manded an opportunity to buy. the bal ance or unused capital stock, .offering good gold coin, so the complaint recites. But the officers and board of directors did not see fit to modify their methods to meet the demands of stockholders, that were now a minority factor." So in desperation Mr. Gilstrap and his fellow stockholders wen to law. They want the Circuit Court to depose the self- Inaugurated officers and to annul the is suance' of the 15 shares of stock which turned the balance of power. Jneident- ally they want the money back that has been paid out of the treasury for unauthorized repairs and they want the difference between what was paid for rental of the corporation's premises and what was offered. It will take $261 to set the treasury square, they say. In ad dition to that amount they feel the board of directors should pay all the costs of action and the lawyers' hire in volved. Allege City Wronged Them. As to those who claim to have been buncoed by the City of Portland, their names make up quite a list: Edith E. Muller, Jane C. Kirkland. F. D. Simmons, A. Simmons, E. J. Finck. Otto Bren- necke, L. G. Reynolds, Adelia Pedrick, Mary A. Munger. James Gibson, W. F. Dickens and Edward Hirsch. All are owners of property In Park Addition to Albina. Their property is on Denver avenue. Back In the middle of last year there was a petition to improve the street. their complaint sets up. The petition was allowed. The city engineer prepared estimates of the probable cost of grad ing the avenue. He found It would cost $1637. Bide were then advertised for. When the street committee of the Ex ecutive Board opened the bid, there was but one, it was found that Bechill Broth ers would take the Job for $2786.56, They had the cost figured down to the cent, as will be observed by scrutiny of their bid. It could not be done cheaper. So the City Engineer changed his esti mate and said $2600 Would be a fair amount in view of the labor shortage. The Executive Board has a rule for al lowing 10 per cent more than City- En gineer Taylor's estimates, so they let the award to the Bechllis, in the face of pro tests from property owners who main tained that $1632 was enough to pay for the improvements. Despite these pro tests the Council amproved the contract and an ordinance was issued, the work was done and the property owners were asked to pay up. Liens were executed on property that did not fall in with the plan of paying up. What the property owners now want Is an injunction restraining the City of STORE OPEN EVENINGS BEGIN NING TODAY.

Mrs. Alma Lenon was wedded to Luther G. Lenon in 1900, bein? one of the June brides of that year. She was always kind to him, she says, but he failed to appre ciate the fact. One night last year he went out for a stroll. He is still stroll ing. She wants a decree of absolute di vorce and the custody of their 5-year-old son. In the next casej it" was the husband who had the grievance. H. T. Dow mar ried Lottie Dow less than a month ago. Now he wants a divorce. He says she Is too cold and distant to suit him. He would rather not have any wife at all. The Oregon Railway & Navigation Company has a grievance. In its capac ity as a common carrier It hauled 16 pianos out from Chicago for the C. A. Whale Piano Company. The haul was not an act ol charity, being performed rather with a view to adding $240 to the Harriman coffers. The Whale Com pany has failed to pay up and now Mr. Harriman wants tne court to collect tor him. a; L. Parsons is seeking from M. Van Alstine the sum of J2050.

Thirteen cases came before the Juve nile Court yesterday. Judge Gantenbein presiding. Complaints had been placed against boys ranging from smoking cigar ettes to assault and battery. Two cases of the latter character came before the court, the most serious being that in which Waiter Brill was charged with fighting with his stepfather and mother. and threatening to kill "the old man." and with greasing the streetcar tracks on Ankeny street between Twelfth and Thirteenth, last Halloween night. The boy admitted he was with the crowd out that night, but denied placing grease on the tracks.

Paul Keller and Todus Madden, each 16 years old, were brought in on the charge of having assaulted We Ving, a Chinese living at 244 Yamhill street. These two, in company with three others, Barrett, Rockwood and Vegel, who are under indictment to appear before the Municipal Court, were walking south on Fourth street near Taylor, when they met the Chinaman, and Keller bunted him off the sidewalk. A melee followed, in which We Ving was cut on the wrist and received a number of bruises on the face. The allegations of the Chinese were that one of the boys pulled out a pocket knife with which to cut the Celestial's pocket, and in doing so and stealing $21.50, which he had, cut We's wrist. The Chinese said he had been working in a saloon at Fifth and Burnside streets cooking lunch, earning $60 a month. He had been unable to work since the fight. The order of the court was that the two culprits pay $20 each to the Chinese for th-lr fun, and be placed on probation.

At the meeting of the St. John Council held last night tlie first resular meeting since October 22, steps were taken to submit to the voters of that 'place the question of Issuing bonds to the amount of $75,000 with which to secure parks and erect a public dock. The matter was brought before the Council by a petition signed by leading citizens and property-owners asking that the matter of issuing bonds be submitted to the vote of the people. It was decided that it would better be submitted at the regular city election in May, 1908. The Council also took steps to secure "waterfront property at the foot of Philadelphia street from Holbrook & Bingham. The Recorder was instructed to report their price for the property, comprising' four lots, which, with Philadelphia street, which is 100 feet wide, will provide space for a public dock 500 feet long. It Is un derstood that the property owners on Philadelphia street want it improved from Jersey to tha river. At the April election also wjll be sub mitted thequestion of extending the city boundary lines so as to take in the Willamette River to its middle, so the city will have, control.
