WAR IS DECLARED
ON LOCAL TRUSTS
Council Passes Resolution and
Mayor Names Committee
to Wield Probe.
CITY ATTORNEY TO AJD
Councilman Vaughn Fathers Meas
ure on Floor of Chamber Dray-
men's Combine Probably
First Victim In Line.
Councilman Vaughn yesterday declared
war on the various illegal combines and
trtinta .of the city by introducing a reso
lution in the Council providing for the ap
pointment of a committee of three y the
Mayor, with power to summon witnesses,
to put the latter under oath and to take
testimony In regard to all alleged unlaw
ful combinations doinjp business . here
Tbe resolution was adopted and Mayor
Jjine named Cnuncllmen Vaughn, Beld
Ing and Concannon. They will be assist
ed by City Attorney Kavanaugh. and his
deputies In the investigations.
It Is not known Just what the next step
will be In the' work of attacking Illegal
combinations, said to be operating in re
straint of trade, but it is supposed that
one trust will be selected for a test case.
The City Attorney has for Borne time
been endeavoring to bring criminal prose
cutions against some of Portland's oom
blnfs, but, as he said yesterday, has been
unable to secure the proper evidence be
cause of the failure of the Belding anti
trust law to provide a means of securing
testimony and getting possession of pa
pers and books In the hands- of the al
leped lawbreakers.
City Attorney Kavanaugh asked for a
detective to assist him in securing evi
dence against trusts several months ago,
and Chief of Police Ghltzmacher assigned
Defective J. W. Inskeep to the duty, but
Mr. Kavanaugh told the Council yester
day that, just as the operative was get
ting into good condition to do effective
work, the Chief recalled htm, leaving the
office without police help.
City Attorney Kavanaugh is In hearty
accord with fhe resolution passed yester
day, and gave it his official indorsement.
He Bald that some means must be fur
nished him to secure evidence, if any
prosecutions. are to be instituted against
the so-called trusts.
Under the provisions of the ordinance
passed yesterday, the committee named
will have power to summon any person
before It and to compel answers to ques
tions. There is no information at hand
at this time as to what alleged illegal
combine will first be attacked, but as
Councilman Kellaher furnished City At
torney Kavanaugh with copies of the
Portland Draymen's Association's scale
nf prices and of their by-laws, it is
thought probable he will first proceed
against that organization. ' Councilman
Driscolt is a member of the association,
and will 'be a witness, It is said, if the
matter is probed.
Councilman Driscoll also charged that
there is a retail grocers' trust, and the
Council asked City Attorney Kavanaugh
two weeks ago to investigate this, so Jts
officers may be summoned and ques
tioned. Corbett Estate Wins Fight.
After a long wrangle between Councll
jiien at the session of the City Council
Yesterday, afternoon, .the Corbett estate
was granted permission to place a venti
lation trap on the Fifth-street side of
the new Corbett building, but this matter
brought about what promises to be a
rather drastic action on the part of- the
municipality. Building Inspector Spencer
was called upon for a statement as to
whether the ventilator could be put in
without using the sidewalk, and he said
it could; also, he said, he would recom
mend the revocation of every vent per
mit in the city. Mayor Lane asked him
to submit a list of such vents. Action
will then be takers
Mayor's Message. Slighted.
Mayor Lane's message to the City
Council was not heard by that body yes
terday afternoon at Its regular session,
because of Its length, as was explained
by Councilman Annand, who moved to
dispense with its reading and have it re
ferred to the committee on ways and
means. .Mayor Lane at this Juncture re
marked that the message contained some
things he would like to have the Coun
rllmen know, but Mr. Annand replied
that tliey knew it all. anyway. Inasmuch
as they had read the message In the
newspapers. The Mayor thereupon re
ferred the matter to the committee.
Council Disregards Protest.
Over the protests of the City Engineer,
the Fire Marshal and the Chief of the
Fire Department, the City Council yes
terday granted the permit asked for by
W. P. Fuller & Co. to install a large
tank for the storage of lubricating oil
under the street at Thirteenth and Love
joy streets. lt this tank will be- stored
about 400 barrels of lubricating oil. Some
of the Councllmen fought the petition on'
the grounds of danger to property and
usurpation of the public thoroughfare.
RECEIVER'S FORCE IS BUSY.
Preparing Statement of Oregon
Trust Bank Accounts.
Almost as busy a place, as It was when
H was In its palmy days is the Oregon
Trust & Savings Bank, where expert ac
countants and clerks are busy getting out
a .statement of the exact status of the
accounts of the Institution. The working
force is bending every energy toward an
early completion of this statement, which
must be finished before a petition for
two years' time in which to pay the
claims against the bank can be presented
to the court. Early and late typewriters
and adding machines are clicking off the
figures that will show the exact status of
every account In the bank.
It is also too early 'to complete the di
rectorate of the new bank, for until those
'who are wanted to act as directors can
be shown exactly how the affairs, of the
bank stand, it is useless to try to interest
them In the bank. President Reed and
Receiver Devlin will not invite substantial
business men of the city to become di
rectors until a comprehensive statement
of the bank's exact resources and' liabil
ities can be shown.
Two Eastern Oregon' men have been
named as possible directors, but nothing
definite has been, settled. These men are
William E. Grace, president of the Cit
izens National Bank, of Baker City;
N. U. Carpenter. president of the
First National Bank, of sSumnter. Louis
O. Clarke, of Portland, is also a pos
sibility, and It is understood that steps
have been taken to place him on the
directorate. He has not yet accepted the
position.

FIREPROOF BLOCK TO BE ERECTED BY THE FAILING ESTATE
AT FIFTH AND YAMHILL STREETS. . SKETCH BY DOYLE A
t PATTERSON. . . v
, One of the most important building ' projects, announced for ' the
near future In Portland, Is the handsome fireproof block to be erected
by the Failing estate at the southeast corner of Fifth and Yamhill
streets. This building will be 15 stories high, or three stories higher
than the new "Wells-Fargo blook, the tallest building in Portland. It
will stand on the site now occupied by the Portland Gas. Company
and the new skyscraper will contain the quarters of this corporation.
The Illustration here shown Is a reproduction of a sketch pn dis
play at the architects' exhibit in the Museum of Art. It is a front
elevation and was displayed to show changes that have been made In
the design since the preparation of a large perspective drawing that
Is also a part of the present exhibit. Since the perspective was .
drawn by Doyle & Patterson it has been decided to add three stories
to the structure and otherwise alter the specifications, as .shown by
the above cut.
Definite announcement has not been made of the time that construc
tion work on this building will begin. . It Is generally understood,
however, .that work of laying the foundation will be under, way
within a few months. It is also known that the entire'building will
be erected at one time. Instead of building the. lower stories for
temporary occupancy, as was at one time reported tp be the intention.
HEEDS FATHER'S APPEAL
COUNCIL TOUCHED BY STORY OF
DAUGHTER'S RUIX. .
Cl'es Keeper of Saloon to Show
Cause -Why License Should -Not
Be Revoked.
Unable to control his emotions, his
frame trembling and his voice choked
with so'bs, E. F. Noiand told the story , of
the ruin of his lS-year-old daughter' to
the City Council yesterday afternoon. He
was there to protest against the granting
of a transfer of license to C. F. Lander
holm, who wished to establish another
saloon In the neighborhood of the Noiand
home. His tears and pleadings moved
the hearts of every member of the' body,
and the transfer was not only refused,
but upon motion of Councilman wills,
John J. Conboy, the proprietor of the sa
loon that Noiand blamed for the down
fall of his daughter, was ordered to ap
pear before the liquor-license committee
at its net session and . show cause- why
his license should not be revoked.
Seldom Indeed Is such a sight witnessed
In the Council chamber as that presented
when Mr. Noiand started to speak against
the transfer of the Landerholm permit,
hut lost control of hts emotions and broke
down completely. Deep silence reigned,
save for the sobs of the man whose
daughter, as he had just explained, had
met ruin through the influence of the
Conboy saloon, near her home.
"I can't speak further," concluded Mr.
Noiand.
"He don't have to. speak any further, so
far as I am concerned." said Councilman
Baker. "And I think I can say the same
for my colleagues. When a father tells
us that his daughter was ruined by a
saloon hJ his vicinity, he need not say
anything more. Sit down, (Mr. Noiand,
we'll take care of you."
When the petition for the Landerholm
transfer came up It was upon majority
and minority reports. Councilman Vaughn
having held the view that business In
terests were behind the protests against
the transfer. Among others present was
Mr. Noiand. who stepped forward and
asked to be heard.
"The saloon we now have there has
caused me intense sorrow," said Mr.
Noiand. "My little girl she Is only 36
years old is in the House of the Good
Shepherd Just through the Influence of
the saloon now run by Conboy, right near
my home. I think I have suffered
enough."
Unable to. proceed further, Mr. Nolaiid
broke down and wept. Then Mr. Baker
rose and spoke, afterward calling for a
vote on the majority report, which was
adopted.-
"I wish to icall the attention of the
Council to the. statement of that father,
that his girl was ruined through the in
fluence of Conboy's saloon." said Mayor
Lane. "What can you do toward remedy
ing this?"
Councilman Willis-moved to cite Con
boy. to appear before the liquor license
committee to show cause why his license
should not be revoked.
Mr. Noiand said he would be present

with a strong delegation of citizens to
protest against the continuance of the
Conboy saloon, and to demand the revo
cation of its license.
MAYOR HAS NO REMEDY
Opposes "Revocable Permits," .bnt
Offers No Substitute for Them.
Mayor Lane took a fling at the "revoca
ble permits," frequently issued by the
City Council, at the session of that body
yesterday afternoon, when a petition for
sidetrack privileges from the Portland &
Seattle Railroad came up. The petition
was for a permit to lay tracks on Fif
teenth street, ' from Marshall to Johnson
streets, and was granted.
"These revocable permits are worth
less," said Mayor Lane. "The mere fact
that you call them revocable permits does
the city no good. None are ever revoked ;
and If you revoke any. It will foe only at
the emd of a lawsuit."
"How would. you do It, then?" asked
Councilman Kellaher, of Mayor Lane.
'I don't know," replied the Mayor, as
he directed the Auditor to proceed with
the reamng of other business.
Vaughn Opposes Cancellation.
Tha big fill on East Sixth street,'from
East 6herman to Division, may be or
dered rescinded, but it is-certain that a
fight will come up in the committee on
streets, when .the matter Is reconsidered
at the next meeting. In the'City Council
yesterday afternoon, the Pacific Bridge
Company, the contractor -presented a re
lease to the city for all expenses. The
work Is being fought by the Inman-Poul-sen
Mill " Company, whose property "was
assessed. 325.000 for the cost of the im
provement. Councilman Vaughn wants
the work to proceed, and Is determined to
fight against cancelling tile contract.
Discharged Laborers Appeal.
Alleging "spite work" on the part of
Park Superintendent Montleth, Charles
Schnahel yesterday afternoon filed a
petition for a review of the cases of four
German laborers, recently discharged from
the city employ in the parks. At the last
meeting pf the park board, the superin
tendent's action was confirmed, and At
torney Schnabel now asks for a hearing
for the men by the Civil Service Commis
sion. The men say that one reason they
lost tneir positions was because they re
fused to contribute toward a Christmas
present for' Mr. Montieth. The latter
sets forth that he discharged the men be
cause they were incompetent and lazy.
Property-Owners Protest.
There Is a general protest against the
proposed widening of Sandy Road, be
tween East Sixteenth and East Twenty
eighth streets, and some of the property-owners
threaten to sue the crty for
damages, should the width be increased.
A formal protest was filed yesterday with
the Auditor, and will be investigated by
the street committee of the Council at its
next session.
Today, and tomorrow will positively be
the las" days for discount on West Side

DID F.J. HENEY
HELP SGHUEBEL?
Some Observers Think They
Trace Fine Hand in the
r Appointment.
BRISTOL; MADE SCAPEGOAT?
Deserted y Heney In Order lo Dis
credit Senator Fulton? Belief
That U"Rcn Will Be Boost
ed for : Governor.
That Heney combined forces with Sen
ator Bourne to put Schuebel into the of
fice of Federal District Attorney arid dig
Senator Fulton's political grave is the
opinion of persons who think they trace
the fine hand in Schuebel's appointment.
And that W. C. Bristol, who is to give
way to Schuebel in the office, was made
a scapegoat of the game and kicked out
on the pretext that he "insulted" the At-torney-General,
Is the opinion of some
others wno think they have traced the
lines still further.
Bristol deserted by Heney apd" blamed
for Heney's delay to prosecute ihe land
fraud defendants; Schuebel raised to his
place to pay one of Bourne's qld political !
debts: Fulton driven -Into a corner, un
able to make a showing for.' his candi
date with the President and attacked by 1
Heney on the eve of his run for re-election
to the Senate--all this is gossip on
the tongues of persons who are trying to
figure out the meaning of. the Schuebel
appointment. V
And since next in order for Bourne's
favor is W. S. U'Ren, the Oregon City
"lawgiver," arid there was talk in Bourne
quarters some time ago of runrilng him to
succeed Fulton (a plan evidently aban
doned), the question now arises. What -.Job
will U'Ren be 'boosted for? The fre
quent answer Is, "Probably for Gover
nor." . .'.
. Bourne's Apology for Schuebel.'
.The studied endtavor of Senator Bourne
to represent that Schuebel made no effort
to oust Bristol has raised the further
question, "Why thj endeavor?" Was. it
not proper for Schuebel to try to get(
Bristol put out and himself put in? Why
should there be any such apology? Why
has it been so important to announce that
Bristol put himself out, by insulting the
Attorney-General with a telegram? Did
not Heney want it kept dark that he was
willing to behold Bristol a scapegoat, in
order to make an alliance with Bourne
that would defeat Fulton? '
All this surmise has cropped out of the
mystery of Bristol's decapitation. The
real cause of Brlstol's'fate has been dark
and has caused 'much wonderment in Ore
gon political circles. Now some .observ
ers think they are getting the first ray of
light. Heney called on the President the
day before Christmas, Just two weeks be
fore the-Schuebel appointment. That the
President conferred, with him about the
appointment jhere' can be little doubt.
That Heney Rilled to. bolster .up, Bristol's
cause is evident. That Heney has had an
understanding with. Bourne for some time
is the ausplcion of Bristol friends, and
they, cite that not long ago -Heney con
ferred in California with U'Ren. Bourne's
close friend, on the occasion of U'Ren's
visit to that. state. ."
Chill Between -Heney and Bristol.
When Heney was in Portland three
weeks ago, there was a chilliness be
tween he and Bristol: The two had a
private interview, and didn't get along
very well. Heney took the stand that
Bristol' haa made his own trouble in
Washington, and Bristol that the trou
ble came from other sources from pon
tics and from Heney's delayed prosecu
tions. The Heney blame Bristol had
shouldered without a whimper, and It
now seemed Incumbent 'on Heney to
square Bristol in Washington. Heney
didn't see matters in that light, at all.
Heney made- no effort fn Washington
for Bristol's retention. He said before
starting from Portland that .Bristol could
take care of himself. Just before Heney
set out for the National capital. Schue
bel started for that place, and seems to
have been there wjien Heney -arrived.
Signs of a well-laid scheme to appoint
Schuebel and discomfit Fulton appear In
the whole business. The scheme was
cleverly carried out. Bristol was caught
between the two millstones, ' Bourne and
Fulton, and abandoned by Heney to that
fate.
. Evidences of some such deal between
Heney and Bourne are detected by ob
serving ones, even at this distance. That
they will be denied by both men is cer
tain. But both desire the political un
doing1 of Fulton, and what would be more
natural tnan for them to unite? Bourne
has wished to displace Bristol with his
own favorite. Heney has been willing
for this to be done. Together they lay
a trap, for Fulton. Bristol is slain for
sacrifice. Heney disclaims responsibility.
Bristol's friends are of some importance.
"Heney knows It. Two of them are Judge
Gilbert and Judge Wolverton. .
Thus far, Bourne has been author of
the tale. Will Fulton write the next
chapter? And will U'Ren be Oregon's'-
next Governor?
HENEY KEEPS HIS HANDS OFF
Senator Bourne Says No Knowledge
of Interference.
ORBGONXAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 8. Until Christian Schuebel
Is confirmed by the Senate, he cannot as
sume the office of United States District
Attorney, in Oregon. Appointments of
this character require confirmation by the
Senate when made while Congress is In
session. Until Schuebel is confirmed
Bristol will continue to act, for Schuebel's
nomination stated, that he was appointed
to succeed Bristol, "whose nomination
has been withdrawn and who is now
serving under a recess appointment."
Should a fight be made on Schuebel and
prevent action on his nomination this
session, the President, after adjourn
ment, could make a recess appointment,
which would place him in office, and, by
successive reappointments, could retain
him in office ' indefinitely. .
So far as can be ascertained Heney had
no hand In the appointment of Sdhuebel.
The Department of Justice officials say
they heard of no Indorsement by him,
or opposition to Bingham. Senator
Bourne says he has no . knowledge that
Heney Interfered In any way.-

DR F0ULKES ON SALVATION
Sermon by Evangelist Pastor at the
First Presbyterian Church. "
"Christ died to make the salvation
of some men certain, not to make the
salvation of all men possible," was the
astonishing doctrine preached by Dr.
W. H. Fosultes, the evangelist pastor of
the First Presbyterian church,- last
night. He justified It as follows:
"The foundation of tbe cross is laid
deep, enough to get ' under all men's
sins, but if the great sacrifice upon it
made the salvation of all men possible,
then a man might be saved whether he
believed or not. No. The sacrifice
was made so that if you come to. the
cross and .believe that your sins are
nailed tljere you shall be saved.
"The cross Is the bridge Of the chasm
that enables us 'to. ascend from the
depths of the . human heart to the
heavenly heights. It is the reconciling
cross with orte arm. over a sin-stricken
world and the other reaching, to the
throne Of God. -I am well aware that
the. theory .of divine deliverance must
not be founded on fancy. It must be
age-long and ageless. God must match
his wisdom and power with the tragedy
that has overcome his universe.
"But God is willing, able, and does
save. ' He - has entered with the lost
race and "taken the initiative of re
demption. The question is Just how far
must he enter Into the world to re
deem it? Every religion has some form
of revelation in which Jts deity comes
down among men to make them what
they, ought to be. Some say he must
just come to the edge apd dip. In and
dip out, as In the Buddhist concep
tion, where he bears none of the burr
dens. What good is it to be told the
way to' climb the steeps if we have a
burden upon our backs that Is grea'ter
than we can bear? Men ban never' be
delivered by the mere knowledge of
truth.
. -"Some say God must touch the senti
ments, feeling and emotion. But that
does not save all. Many a revival cap
tures the feelings, but not the man. If
God is to enter a lost world to sarve it,
he must go down to the deepest depths,
to the bottom of the pit In the human
heart. That Is the reconciling cross.
It cannot save from above, but must
come down and lift up."
The meetings will continue tonight
and tomorrow night of -this week, and
all next week. Beginning Monday
night, Fred Butler, the famous singer
who charmed so many while sing
ing at the White Temple last Summer,
will sing nightly. The women's prayer
meeting today will be at the residence
Of Mrs. P. J. Mann, 403 Third street,
between 2 and 3 o'clock.
