DRISCOlL
Councilman Makes Sensation
al Charge Against City
Officials.
BLUNDER COSTS $20,900
Fire Alarm Cables Alleged to Hare
Been Put In at Expense of Tax
payers, Though Outlay Was
Entirely Unnecessary.
.Sensational disclosures regarding an
allegd .blunder of city officials that is
said to have cost taxpayers $20,900,
were made yesterday afternoon by
Coimci'man Driscoll, during a heated
debate at a meeting of the street com
mittee, railed to consider the applica
tion for a franchise made by the Na
tional Automatic Fire Alarm Company.
It Is charged that this sum was ex
pended needlessly, since the Home
Telephone Company, by the terms of
its franchise, could have been forced
hy the administration to put in cables
for the electric wires of the fire-alarm
service, for which the money was
spent.
Mayor Lane, when asked for a state
ment, declared that the matter was
brought to his attention but three
days ago. He said he had already
begun an investigation, by addressing
a communication to Charles A. Savar
ian. City Electrician, under whose
supervision the wiring for the fire de
partment is done. As yet the Mayor
has received no reply. He was there
fore not in a position, he said, to throw
any light upon the subject, and could
make no further statement, except to
assert that It may be found that the
City Council is involved, as he thought
if a large purchase of cable was made,
the Council authorized it. In such
case, he said, those voting for it would
probably be as culpable as any others.
Savarlan Not Informed.
City Electrician bavarian said that
the Council authorized the purchase
of cable for the fire department about
a year ago. and that the bills were
received last October, aggregating
about $20,900. He said he did not
know whether or not the franchise of
the Home Telephone Company carried
a provision that bound it to furnish
sucb cables, or "conductors" for the
city; but If such a provision Is con
tained in the franchise, he said, some
one has mads a mistake. Who is
blamable, he eaid he could not de
termine. Tt is evident, judging from investiga
tion, that this matter is destined to
arouse a bitter controversy. It Is said
that It will be carried into the Council
sooner or later and that Mayor Lane and
his political advisers will be charged
with the JUft.flnn, Inasmuch as the order
for the cable Is said to have come from
the. executive branch of the administra
tion. Some members of the Council, It
Is said, may be involved, for voting for
an appropriation for the purchase, if it
was an unnecessary expense. That the
matter will be thoroughly investigated
seems certain.
Councilman Iriscnll, after declaring in
the debate that the city had paid out
about 10.000 of the taxpayers' money
ridlessly for fire department equipment,
declined to make any further statement.
He refused to discuss the matter.
Hold Lively Session.
The session of the street committee of
the Council, specially called to consider
the Automatic Kire Alarm Company's
application for a franchise, was the live
liest meeting of the committee in many
months. Couneilmen Kellaher. Cottel
and Concannon locked horns with Coun
eilmen Vaughn. Wallace and Drlscoil
over the matter, the former being un
favorable to any arrangement whereby
the applicants would be granted the privi
lege of using the. city's poles, conduits
and wires for its system.
Councilman Kellaher has led the fight
against the granting of the franchise
from the time it was introduced Into the
Council, and has announced that he will
continue the fight to the end. As matters
now stand, howevjer. It is predicted that
he will lose the battle. Against him are
lined up Couneilmen who are in the ma
jority and in addition Councilman Vaughn
favors the franchise. Mr. Vaughn is
usually found voting against anything
that Councilman Driscoll favors, but In
this Instance they are standing together.
From this it would seem that nothing
can defeat passage of the measure.
TJuring the meeting yesterday afternoon
In the committee meeting. Couneilmen
Kellaher and Drlscoil frequently disa
greed, and, in a burst of Indignation, Mr.
Driscoll declared that the city has spent
about $30,000 needlessly for fire depart
ment cables. His remark led to an in
vestigation, resulting in the disclosures
mentioned.
Xo Recommendation Made.
After hearing arguments for and
against the proposed franchise by R. W.
Montague, the company's legal repre
sentave: Superintendent Walker, of the
Automatic Company: Fire Chief Camp
bell, Electrician Savarian and some of
the Couneilmen, a vote was taken. The
result was that no recommendation was
made to the Council on the matter. Coun
eilmen Kellaher. Cottel and Concannon
voted against granting the franchise:
Couneilmen Wallace and Driscoll voted In
favor of its passage and Councilman
Vaughn, who was in the chair, declined
to vote.
Chief Campbell and City Electrician
Savarian are opposed to the franchise,
because they declare the automatic sys
tem should be separate and apart from
the city's fire-alarm system. This is
also the view of all the Couneilmen who
oppose the franchise-
BRIDGE BIDS REJECTED
Executive Board Will Let Contracts
.Next Wednesday.
In order to expedite the awarding of a
contract for the construction of a rein
forced concrete bridge across Sullivan's
Gulch on S;sst Twenty-eighth street, the
Executive Board yesterday afternoon
voted to adjourn to meet next Wednes
day at 4 P. M. The bridge committee
will hold a session at 2 o'clock the same
day to make a recommendation.
The Executive Board rejected four bids
of Robert Wakefield and one of the Pa
cific Engineering Company, these being
above the estimate and limjt allowed by
the Board. This leaves three bids from
which to select. Tbe Northwest Bridge
Company, of Portland, which recently re
ceived the award for the construction of
a steel bridge across the gulch on Union
avenue, Is the lowest bidder in this in
stance, its tender being $6-1.400. 1'nless
something unforeseen arises, it will be
obligatory upon the Board to award this
firm the contract. The other bids are by
Paquet, Gieblsch & Joplin. for $73,000, and
the Contracting Engineering Company,
for $67,750.
The citizens of the district in which
the bridge is to be built are very anxious
to have the contract let, and It is be
cause of this that the members of the
Executive Board ordered the adjourned
meeting.
MRS. SOPHIE GEER IS DEAD
Wife or P. W. Geer and Daughter of
Well-Known Sllverton Family.
Mrs. Sophie Geer, wife of P. W.
Geer and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Adolf Wolf, of Sllverton, Or., died last
night at 6:30 o'clock, at the Good Sa
maritan Hospital, after an illness of
two months. Her husband, her mother
and her brother. Dr. Louis J. Wolf,
were at her bedside when the end
came.
News of Mrs. Geer's death will bring
sincere sorrow and regret to a large
circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Geer
were married in New York City barely
a year ago. the ceremony being per-
!i,r.
The Ijito Mrs. gorthie Geer.
formed by Mayor McClellan. Mrs.
Geer's Illness was not generally known
of by her friends. She was brought
West when her condition first became
serious, two months ago, from ber
home at Morris Plains. N. J., where
Mr. Geer had charge of the Homer
Davenport farm.
Mrs. Geer was a finely eduacted and
unusually talented young woman, hav
ing spent three years In New York de
veloping a marked ability in music
and elocution. She was a bright enter
tainer, and invariably was the soul of
the social affairs she attended. She
was born In Oregon 33 years ago, and
spent most of her years at Sllverton,
the home of her parents, and also of
Mr. Geer. Her brother. Dr. Wolf, was
physician with the last Peary expedi
tion to the North Pole.
Partial arrangements for the funeral
were made last night, and the services

FAVORS SMALL COLLEGES
Dr. W. H. Foulkes Lectures Before
Women's Club.
Rev. W. H. Foulkes' was the speaker
of the afternoon at the Woman's Club
meeting yesterday, 'his topic being "The
Small College." After touching briefly on
the origin and history of the modern
American intellectual movement. he
showed how the small colleges, scattered
everywhere, are the natural and inevit
able 'expression of the American spirit,
just as the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge are an expression of English
aristocracy, while the universities of Ber
lin and Leinaic and the gymnastics of
Germany represent most fittingly the Ger
man imperial spirit.
The speaker summarized the reasons
why the small college ideal and reality
should continue in strength.
First It comes in closest contact with
the homes of the people. Second It de
pends largely upon the voluntary sup
port of the communities In which it exists
and, while laying a burden upon them,
gives them vigor to bear the burden.
Third It makes possible a liberal educa
tion for . many who would otherwise be
unable to obtain it. 'Fourth It furnishes
students and professors for the larger
universities. Fifth Drawing, as It does,
on the resources of the various denomi
nations which it represents, it helps to
save the church from being self-centered.
Six It appeals to the generosity of men
who do not confuse bigness with great
ness. Seventh It promises to perpetu
ate the democratic spirit, to relieve in
tellectual congestion and to promote com
munity loyalty without developing sec
tional jealousies. Eighth It will con
tinue to place emphasis upon character
as the basis of culture and by the pre
dominance of the moral elements in its
constitution and methods, develop a full
rounded manhood and womanhood.
In conclusion Dr. Foulkes said:
"As the end of all individual discipline
is the development and perfection of
one's own powers of mind and heart, so
the ideal of social discipline is none other
than the bringing to its full flower the
best earthly institution God .ever estab
lished: whiqh. despite social distinctions,
immoral assaults, and religious indiffer
ence has persisted In keeping, in the
main, true to its heaven-ordained mission
and which, better than any college or
club, " embodies the spirit of American
social and religious responsibility and
liberty; that institution of which the
mother is the earthly center, heaven the
final prototype and eternity the only
end the home."
FORFEITS HIS CITY JOB
John Brooks,- Convicted of Misde
meanor, Is Discharged.
Superintendent Donaldson, of the Street
cleaning Department, sent in a communi
cation to the Executive Board yesterday
afternoon, recommending the discharge of
John Brooks. The Board adopted the re
port.
"Superintendent Donaldson recommends
the dismissal from the service of Mr
Brooks," said Mayor Lane, explaining
the case. "What will you do with the
recommendation?
"Brooks was employed in the Street
cleaning Department," explained Auditor
Barbur.
"Wbat is he doing now?" asked C A.
Cogswell, a member of the Board.
"He's breaking rock at Kelly Butte,"
replied the Auditor. "He was found
guilty of a misdemeanor and the Muni
cipal Judge sent him to the rockpile."
"Then he is in the street work yet."
remarked the Mayor. "And crushed rock
is scarce, too.
R. W. Pryke, who formerly drove a
hose cart for the Fire Department, was
also dismissed from the service of the
city because of Intoxication and inatten
tion to duty.

VICTORY FOR TRUST
Warren Construction'Company
Gets Contract.
WILL PAVE STARK STREET
Property-Owners Demand Improve
ment, Despite Increase in Size of
Tender Other Bids Held Vp
Until Xcxt Wednesday.
Although the members of the City
Council and the Executive Board have
recently expressed themselves as of the
opinion that it would be a good thing to
arrange some means of "holding down"
tbe bids of the Warren Construction Com
pany and the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company, alleged trusts, the Warren
concern won a victory to the extent of
$16,876 yesterday afternoon before the Ex
ecutive Board. The personal appearance
before the members of a number of large
property-owners, and their unanimous re
quests for a hard-surface pavement, re
sulted In the award of a contract to that
corporation for bitullthic from Seventh
to Burnslde streets on Stark street.
Notwithstanding the fact that, after
readvertlsing for this improvement three
times, the Warren Construction Company,
tbe sole handlers of bitullthic, increased
its bid, the people owning property abutting-
clamored ' for the pavement and
secured what they desired. This, they
explained. Is because they are willing to
pay almost any price to have the Im
provement. Owing to the fact that property-owners
on Belmont street have contested an im
provement of bitulithic. and that the
matur Is now under consideration by
Circuit Judge Cleland. Assistant City At
torney Grant advised the Executive Board
yesterday afternoon to hold up all bids
for bitulithic pavement until a decision is
rendered. It was eaid that this may be
done today. Whether or not the city
has the legal right to use this prepara
tion for paving, is the question to be
decided. If Judge Cleland holds it has
not, it is "said no more contracts for this
brand of paving wil! be let in this city.
That the Warren Construction Company
and the. Barber Asphalt Company have a
big fight on band, seems apparent, from
the attitude of the members of both the
City Council and the Executive Board.
After Assistant City Attorney Grant ad
vised holding up other bids of the Warren
corporation, several bids were ordered laid
over until Wednesday next, when there
will be an adjourned meeting of the
Board. If Judge Cleland decides the
pending case in the meantime, action will
be taken accordingly.
There is a movement on in the City
Council to fix a maximum rate to be
charged for bitulithic and asphalt paving,
and a strong sentiment prevails among
some of the members for tbe appointment
of a special committee to investigate and
make a report.
In the case of recent bids by the War
ren Construction Company, Jt has been
very noticeable that where readvertise
ments have been ordered, the concern has
increased its rate. In the contract that
was awarded by the Executive Board yes
terday .afternoon, at the special per
sonal request of the abutting property
owners, the bid the last time wtis $1400
higher than It was at first. This was
after the improvement was advertised
three times.
At a recent meeting of the street com
mittee of the Council. Couneilmen Rush
light, Cottel and Vaughn declared them
selves in favor of curbing the alleged trust
and fixing a maximum rate. No action
was taken, however, and the matter con
tinues as usual.
FEW FAVOR ALDRICH BILL
POKTIiAXD BANKERS' VIEWS OX
PROPOSED MEASURE.
Board of Trade Ascertains Opinions
In Response to Request for Fa
vorable Action.
In connection with the request that the
Board of Trade take action upon the
Aldrich emergency currency bill, that or
ganization has taken up the matter with
the different banks of the city.
President William MacRae, of the
Bank of California, expresses himself as
opposed to this bill, believing that it
.would not be a proper remedy for ex
isting conditions. On the other hand, he
strongly Inclines toward the formation
of a central bank with a large paid-up
capital, and branches in the most Im
portant commercial centers of each state.
His conviction is that this plan would
come nearer meeting the i requirements
of the business community and be a
more satisfactory basis for currency than
the present one.- .
President A. L.' Mills.' of the First Na
tional Bank, has the following to say in
regard to the measure:
"Though not agreeing fully with the
provisions of the Aldrich bill, I neverthe
less believe its passage would be a dis
tinct benefit to the country, and if such
a law had been in existence last Fall,
there would have been no panic. The
opportunity to obtain an emergency cur
rency, as suggested in this bill, would
have stopped the runs upon the trust
companies in New York, and conse
quently there would have been no wide
spread trouble. As an emergency meas
ure, the Aldrich bill la a good one. I
hope that eventually a currency commis
sion will be appointed to prepare a
proper financing measure based some
what upon the lines adopted in Germany
and France."
President J. Frank Watson, of the Mer
chants' National Bank, is opposed to
any scheme for granting National banks
the privilege of issuing currency based
on anything but United States bonds, as
is the custom now.
President Cohen, of the Portland Trust
Company; President Peter Hume, of the
Bank of Sellwood, and President H. H.
Newhall. of the East Side Bank, bave
also expressed themselves as opposed to
the Aldrich bill.
As soon as the replies from the other
banks have been received, the matter
wi(l be submitted to a special committee
of the board.

DEMURRERS ARGUED TODAY
Indictments In the Ross Bank Cases
Are Attacked.
Attorneys for J. Thorburn Roes and the
other officials of the defunct Title Guar

dictment, will argue this morning the de
murrers filed in the Circuit Court, Judge
Gantenbein, Judge O'Day and Judge Bro
naugh will sit en banc in department, .No.
1. and will jointly decide whether the de
murrers are sufficient ground for dismiss
ing the Indictments by which tbe officials
are charged with receiving money, know

passed by the last Legislature, the law is
not yet In effect.
Argument on the demurrers In the three

officials were heard by Presiding Judge
Cleland, who will not sit with the other
judges this morning, that he may avoid
any charge of violating the proprieties of
the presiding Judgeship. The demurrers

WOMAN CHOKES A COYOTE
i
Strangles Wolf After Animal Had
Sunk His Teeth in Her Breast.
Choking a coyote to death after the
animal had fastened his teeth in her
breast is the experience related of Mrs.
T. A. Caldwell by the Lakeview Exam
iner. According to the Examiner, Mrs.
Caldwell, who lives on the M. Wingfleld
ranch, near Adel, was attracted to the
barnyard by a commotion among the
poultry. Discovering that a coyote was
making a raid on her chickens, Mrs.
Caldwell sought to scare away the ani
mal. She had no idea that the wolf
would attack her. but releasing his hold
on a hen, the animal turned fiercely on
the woman, who, as she started to beat
a hasty retreat, tripped and fell. The
coyote was upon her In a moment and
fastened his teeth in her breast. Mrs.
Caldwell grabbed Mr. Coyote by the
throat, and notwithstanding his des
perate efforts to free himself from the
woman's clutch, the animal finally sank
exhausted, but the brave woman did not
release her hold until the animal was
dead, and dead to stay. The coyote was
skinned, and Mrs. Caldwell will keep the
hide as a souvenir of the most blood
curdling experience in her life.

BOARD'S VIEWS
Women's Club Would Allow
School Children in Rose
Festival Parade.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VOTE
Mothers Belonging to Organization
Vnite to Carry Re.-olution Bel
llngham Will Send Exhibit to
Show Theaters to Assist.
The Portland Women's Club, at its
meeting yesterday afternoon, went on
record in favor of having the school chil
dren of the city participate in the floral
parade the second day of the Rose Fes
tival next June. The question was dis
cussed at some length, and the final vote
was 34 to 28 in favor of the plan. What
Is more significant than the mere figures
of the vote is the fact that the members
of the club who have children were a
unit In favor of it.
The leaders of the fight to give the
children a part In the celebration took
the position that the little people them
selves were not only eager to parade,
but that the whole festival Idea was a
beautiful object lesson to them and of
great educational value.
"Well.'' remarked Mrs. Abigail Scott
Duniway, who was one of the strongest
champions of the plan at the meeting,
"the situation was about like this. The
mothers all want their children to take
part In this beautiful demonstration. We
don't see where there can be any harm in
it. and we do see where great good can
come of It. Rnd It helps make the little
boys and girls feel that they are some
thing of a factor in our civic life.
Like Old Bachelors.
"The members of the club who were
against the idea were, as a rule, women
without any children, and they are like
a lot of old bachelors: they know more
about raising a family of boys and girls
than any mother ever did know. By all
means, the children should be allowed
to have their parade, and I hope the
principals of the public schools will give
their consent.
The principals of the public schools will
settle the matter at a meeting to be held
at the Ladd School, at 9 o'clock this
morning, and it is a question whether
consent will be given, for the members
of the Board of Education, at least a ma
jority of them, are opposed to the plan
and a number of the principals have ex
pressed themselves as of-like mind. At
the same time, public sentimfnt In gen
eral is heartily in favor of the project
for the reason that the children's parade,
of last year was the most picturesque
and interesting feature of the whole Rose
Carnival.
Bellingham. Wash., is not only con
sldering sending a float to appear in the
All-Northwestern parade, but will prob-
ablv send exhibits of flowers for the ex
position, which will continue two days
during the week.
Bellingham Is Interested.
Ross Welch, secretary of the Belling
ham Chamber of Commerce, has written
that tbe matter will come before the
next meeting of that body with the
chances largely in favor of some sub
Btantial participation. The Bellingham
Reveille is also doing what boosting it
can for the Portland Rose Festival, and
wants to send a delegation of citizens
here, as well as to enter a display of
flowers In the show, as the following edi
torial explains:
.. If It Is at all pnssible Belllnfham should
accept the invitation of Portland to take
part In the coming- flower festival which
baa caused the Oreson metropolis to be
known far and wide as "The Rosa City."
There are some people, and very desirable
citizens they are, who act uaon impres
sions received from a beautiful .display of
flowers, in deciding:. UDon. a new home. a
well as many who are interested In displays
of bia potatoes, tall wheat nnd remark
able timber products.
Already Bellineham. through the efforts
of the Roearians. enjoys an enviable repu
tation aa a flower center, and it will not
be lone until we are known as tha great
est bulb-growing place In the "United States.
It would be an excellent thing to take ad
vantage of Portland's invitation and make
a floral display that will convince a por
tion of the world that the bulb Industry has
been started here In earnest. It Is true the
date of the Portland fair conies so late in
the season that only our late tulips can be
shown, but we should make an Imposing dis
play of them.
Theaters Will Assist.
The local theatrical managers will co
operate with the Rose Festival manage
ment towards making the big event next
June a success that will be worthy of
Portland and the entire Northwest. At
a meeting of representatives of the
Heillg, Marquam, Baker, Lyric, Empire,
Star, Grand and Pantages theaters it
was decided to give a monster benefit
for the festival fund at the Marquam on
the afternoon of Friday, March 13.
The Imperial Amusement Company
gives the Marquam free for the matinee,
and all the theaters will contribute acts.
Roseburg Sends Delegate.
