TTTE 3IOR5I5G UKEWJMAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1908. 7 CARRY INITIATIVE TO HIGHEST COURT Decision Against ' Telephone Companies Will Be Ap pealed Without Delay. CLELAND RULES FOR STATE Mmilar Action Kxpected on Part of Mate Supreme Court Which Has Already Parsed on the Point Involved. Th initiative and referendum amend ment to the State Constitution was up held in a decision rendered by Judge Cle land yesterday morning-. I'pon the valid ity of tile amendment hang the outcome of the suit of the State of Oregon againut the Pacific States Telephone Telegraph Company and that of another suit brought against the Sunset Tele phone Company. The state is seeking to recover the taxes levied upon the gross earnings of the telephone companies. The Sunset Company's attorneys stipu lated, with those of the Pacific States Company, that, as the same question is raised in both suits, the Sunset Company will abide by the decision rendered in the case against the Pacific States Company. In Its answer to the state's complaint the Pacific States Company attacked the constitutionality of the initiative and referendum and of all laws enacted un der it. one of these imposing the gross earnings tax. Attorney-General Craw-' ford and District Attorney Manning, who hsd filed the complaint for the state, then interpofed a demurrer to the tele phone company's answer, alleging that no defense was sot up by the company. This was submitted to Judge Cleland. of the State Circuit Court, without argu ment, yesterda.v morning, and he imme diately sustained the demurrer. Give Notice of Appeal. The defendant company, through its counsel. Harrison Allen, then refused further to move, or to plead, and the court adjudged that it must pay the JI'UMi lax. Notice was then given that the case would be carried to the State Supreme Court. As a similar case, that of Kaddcrly against Portland, has al ready been passed upon by the Oregon Supreme Court, upholding the initiative amendment, it is expected that it will also be upheld in the present case. It Is not Intended to leave the ease there, bov ver, but to take it to the United States Supreme Court, where a fierce battle will he waged to have the initiative amend ment wiped off the Oregon statute books. Should tbe contention of the telephone companies be sustained, all laws passed under the provisions of the initiative and referendum amendment will be declared Invalid. Among the laws involved ave the local option statute and all the city charters and amendments enacted since the adoption of the initiative. The direct primary law would also be wid off the books and Statement No. 1 would be a thing of the past. Basis of the Suit. In its answer to the complaint of the slate the telephone company alleges that the initiative and referendum amend ment is In violation of sections 2. 3, 4 and S. article 1. and sections 3 and 4. article 4 of the state constitution, as well as articles 5. 6 and 14 of the United: States constitution. It is the contention of the company that the provision of the Fed eral constitution guaranteeing to every tate a Republican form of government is violated by the Initiative and refer endum. It is the argument of the Attorney-General, however, that this is a po litical, not a judicial, question. Four paragraphs of the answer alleged that the telegraph company should not be taxed for carrying messages for the Government and its officials. These por tions of the answer were stricken out yesterday by the defendant, so that the validity of the Initiative and referendum amendment might be the only question Involved. Until yesterday It had been expected that K. S. Pillshury. of San Francisco, would be in court to argue for the tele phone company against the demurrer of the state, but as it was not expected that Judge Oleland would render a decision contrary to that of the Supreme Court in the case of KacWerly vs. Portland, the case was submitted without argument. It is to be rushed through to the United States Supreme Court as rapidly as pos sible. Sues Gas Company for $10,000. The Portland Gas Company is again in volved in a damage suit. l.arnts R. Haave has filed a complatnt against the company in the Circuit Court, in which lie demands $lo.00i damages for being scalded. He says he Is a machinist by trade, and was employed at the com pany's gas plant. He describes a pit in which is a steam pump, and says that on October 21, last year, as he turned a drain cock to draw off some water, an explo sion occurred. Tile hot steam filled the pit. As there was no exit except by a ladder, Haave was badly burned. Murder t'ise May Reach Jury Today When the Circuit Court adjourned last night John Wynne, on trial for the murder of W. H. Pu Puis, was on the witness stand in Judge O Pay's de partment, testifying; in his own be half. He had been questioned by his attorney and waa being plied with questions by Deputy lrlstrict Attorney Scabrook, for the state. The case will doubtless go to the jury today, as the attorneys for the defendant have with held Wynne's testimony until the last. SAFETY INTHE SCHOOLS Board Provides to Safeguard Chil dren' L.lves. Uwisiv strps wfrc taken by the Rnard of tiducatlon yesterday towards providing every possible precaution Rgain.it loss of le from fire in any of the public school butMinc of the ctty. Four fire escapes were ordered for the new Kast Side High School, and to the building committee was referred the matter of making Imme diate alterations in the West Side High School building to comply with the rec ommendations of the officers of the Fire Department. It was further ordered that weekly fire drills be held at each of the schools. Failure on the part of. a prin cipal to hold these, drills and to report the fact to City Superintendent Ripler will subject him to a fine of $5. Director Fleisohner brbujsht up the sub ject of providing the very best possible protection from fire for the pupils of the public schools. He referred to the criti c.sm that had been made because a blackboard had been nailed across win dows in a room in the West Side High School building, supposedly shutting off one of the exits to the fire escape. He exp-ained that on investigation he had learned that the miaunuerstanJing had re sulted entirely ' from a misplaced "fire escape' idgn which belonged in the assembly hall and not in the room where the black boards had been Installed. Mr. Rigler remarked that the signboard had been removed to the assembly hall, where it properly belonged. When the blackboard subject had been disposed of. Mr. FleUchner announced that he had requested a report from Fire Chief Campbell on the actual condition of the West Side High School butldins and its fire equipment. He submitted a report that had been prepared by Bat talion Chief Young after an examination of the building and in which the follow ing recommendations were made: Rearrange peat in the assembly hall and gallery to comply with the theater ordinance and make the aisles straight. Remodel the Are-escape windows in the gallery. Remove obstructions to Are escapes from gallery i blackboards). place signs an alt doors through which Are escapes may be reached. Place automatic door-catchers on the doors to 'hold them open. Install two four-inch atandplpea in main hall with hot gate and hose at each floor i ho. gates to be approved by the fire de partment . Fiemove ashes from the basement and pro vide metal ash barrels. Make small extensions to the flre escapes. Plate s.gnfl at all push buttons for fire alarm purposes and have one fire ax placed on each floor. Fix tend the flre alarms to the fourth floor and sound the flre alarm daily. Overhaul all windows. Cold-air shaft to furnace to be changed to the north or south aide of the building and be built of metal. Floor joists under the main hall should be mtal lath and plastered; in case of flre the wooden joists would burn rapidly. Remove the fence on the south side of Fourteenth street. Place shutter or damper in hot-air regis ter to prevent passage of flre. . The report of the Battalion Chief was referred to the supply committee, to gether with Architect Jones, and the com mittee will immediately comply with a majority of the recommendations. Mr.( Rigler called attention to the fact that "fire drills, although required to bo held once every two weeks, had not been held regularly for some time, ne sug gested that the drills take place every week and that provision be made for fining every principal who failed to com ply with the order of the board and to report the fact that the drill had been held to the City Superintendent, as is re quired under the school regulations. This order was immediately proposed in a motion and was carried unanimously, the amount of the fine being placed at flto. ERRORS FOUND IN NOTICES BATCH OF 2300 ELECTION" POS TERS MIST BE REPRINTED. Registration of Voters Holds l"p ami Total Will Soon Pass the 20,000 Mark. As a result of three errors printed on the cloth election notices, the entire lot of about 2600 must be reprinted. The errors were not discovered until about half the judges and clerks of the preeinets of the county had received their notices. It will now be necessary for the County Clerk to remail the new ones to these Judges and clerks, and they will be obliged! to tear down the notices now posted, and to put the others in their places. Dally registrations of voters are increasing. A few weeks ago the daily average was 350. but now more than register each day. As the books do not close until 9 o'clock an opportunity is afforded all to register. At o o'clock last night the registrations of the day stood as follows: Republicans, 346: Democrats. "2: miscellaneous. 16: total. 434. .The total number of registered voters will soon reach 20.000. I.ast night the totals were as follows: Republicans. 14.087: Demo crats. 3103: miscellaneous. S13: total 1S.103. Republican precinct committeemen seem slow in tiling with the County Clerk their declarations of intention. While 81 Demo crats have tiled declarations only 32 dec larations from would-be Republican com mitteemen are on file. Our New Girl," at the Lyric Theater THE laughter of the audience which witnessed the performance of "Our New Girl" at the L.yrlc last night was the surest guaranty of the success ef the latest effort of the Allen stock company. The patrons of that popular family the ater arc exacting, too, and are not given to indiscriminate approval of an offering unless it comes up to a certain standard of excellence. Therefore the management should feel well satisfied with this week's bill. "Our New Girl" is a farce, pure and simple. There lis never a moment when the members of the cast are not tangled up in an excruciatingly funny series of misunderstandings out of which they cmerge only as the last curtain is about to fail. There is. of course, little or no plot, no farce ever bothers with such a thing as plot. There is Just sufficient story to string a score of hilarious situ ations upon to give the players a chance to speak a lot of humorous lines. Benjamin Browne and his wife being newly married, start housekeeping with the handicap of an officious mother-in-law in the house. She is determined that her son shall practice medicine. In which desire she 4s backed up by Mrs. Browne. The unhappy bridegroom objects, but is overruled, and consequently he is palmed off on the public as a doctor when he knows absolutely nothing of what Is ex pected of him. Patients fairly throng the house, and It is soon discovered that the young man has before his marriage been considerable of a gay dog. His former sweethearts appear on the scene, and be tween them and a jealous husband, an emotional Frenchman, the poor doctor has a aorxy time of It. It is not necessary to ga farther into details except to say that the three acts are crowded full of mirth and that Anally matters are straightened out by means of mutual explanations. The principal trouble-maker Is a thick headed German servant girl. Katrlna. who. In spite of her good intentions, al ways does the wrong thing. Verna Felton plays the maid, and is screaminRly funny every moment she is on the stage. Irving Kennedy does one of the best assignments in the piece as the jealous Frenchman, while Forrest Seabury has one of those breeay light comedy roles in which he excels and he gets ail the laugrhs that he could possibly desire. Marie Thompson and Blla Hough ton make a fine impression as the two wives who are involved in the misunder standings, and" Mrs. Clara Allen makes a decidedly humorous mother-in-law. Maude Maybury. a new member of the company, gives a good account of herself as Berdie Nerve, a fair but flirtatious belle, and Rupert Drum is highly satisfactory as Willie West, an unsophisticated youth. Much Interest attaches to the moving pictures showing "Monte Cristo." which are introduced between acts. "Our New Girl" is well werth seeing. Grease paints and professionals' supplies at Woodard.

CQMBINEI5 DENIED Furniture Trade Unrestrained, Says E. C. Oiiver. I. GEVURTZ ALSO TESTIFIES Wholesale Dealer Declares to Com mittee That Retail Firms Have Suffered From Cut Prices Since Trust Dissolved. Testifying before a. special committee of the Council yesterday morning-, IB lis C. Oliver, manager for the F. S. Harmon Company, wholesale furniture dealers, swore that no combination of the trade to control prices exists at this time. He said that since the dissolution of the Northwest Furniture Kxchange last Sum mer, when Federal indictments were re turned, the members of. the asso ciation pleading guilty and paying fines of $25 each, the business among retailers has been practically ruined by cuts in prices in many lines of goods. I. Ge vurtz head of the retail furniture firm of I. Gevurta & Sons, was on the witness stand for a few minutes only, and also swore that no agreement or combination of any kind now prevails among the re tailers. The investigation will be resumed at the next meeting, which is set for next Monday morning. Assistant City Attorney Grant con ducted the examination of the witnesses, and Councilmen ' Vaughn. Belding and Concannon, comprising the committee, were all present. Mr. Oliver answered all questions apparently without the least attempt at evasion. He was candid in all his answers and volunteered much infor mation. Among other things, he eald he would greatly like to have an organiza tion of furniture dealers, to maintain prices and for mutual protection of the trade. However, he explained, he would not favor an association that would In any way conflict with the Belding anti trust ordinance or any ot.ier law. While positively denying the existence of any organization of wholesale furniture dealers, Mr. Oliver admitted that himself and some others, who formerly belonged to the Northwest Furniture Exchange, have been holding monthly meetings. D. P. Price, who was assistant secretary of the dissolved association, he said, was at each of these meetings, the last one of which was held two weeks ago. The only thing that was discussed, said Mr. Oliver, was the credit system, a subject that just at this time he considered one of great importance to the trade. He denied that any agreement as to prices or anything else was taken up. Asked as to whether his company would sell furniture to the Independent Furni ture Company, or to mail order or auction houses. Mr. Oliver said that those estab lishments could not buy from him. He said it had been learned that there is a general sentiment among the retail trade against such establishments, and it was for this alone that his company and other wholesalers had refused to deal with them. He swore that the action was not due to the fact that these concerns never were identified with the old association. When pressed for an explanation as to why the Independent Company could not purchase from his company, he admitted that it is probably because of the cut rates that prevail there. He said he "knew there was strife among the Inde pendent Furniture Company and the other dealers," but the origin of the "strife' he was unable to explain. He also said that no retailer ever objected to the sale of goods to the Independent Company so strongly as to voice such objection, but said it was a business matter, and that he knew the retailers do object. Mr. Gevurtz swore that, as a retail fur niture dealer, he was in a position to say that no combination, tentative or otherwise, exists today for controlling prices or for any other purpose. He said he had never objected to the wholesalers selling to whom they pleased. Relative to the testimony of M. Kertschevsky, who formerly operated the Rose City Furniture Company, Mr. Gevurtz said that the goods manufactured by Mr. Kertschevsky were not first-class; that on' several . occasions Mr. Gevurtz had trouble. with certain articles furnished by the Rose City firm, and that was the reason the Gevurtz Company declined to deal with him. CITY IS NOT FAVfORED Is Compelled to Compete for Its Own Bonds. The city cannot purchase its own im provement bonds unless it is the highest bidder, according- to City Attorney Kava naugh. When bids were opened for the sale of $173,000 worth of improvement bonds yesterday afternoon. Treasurer Werlein was found to have in a bid for I40.W0 worth. There were numerous bid ders, offering high premiums, while Mr. "Werlein. for the city, offered only par. Mr. Kavanaugh at once ruled that the municipality, if it desires to buy its own bonds, must compete with others. There fore. Mr. Werlein's bid was not consid ered. According to Mr. Werlein and others who have, studied the matter, this de cision strikes a heavy blow. That it LIGHT BREAKS IS Thoughtful Farmer I,nu-ns About Coffee. Many people exist in a more or less hazy condition and it often' takes years before they realize that coffee is the cause of the cloudiness, and that there is a simple way to let the light break In. A worthy farmer, had such an experi ence and tells about it in a letter. He says: "For about forty years I have had indigestion and stomach trouble in various forms. During the last 25 years I would not more than get over one spell of bilious colic until another would be on me. "The best doctors I could get and all the medicines I could buy. only gave me tei.iporary relief. "Change of climate was tried with out results. I could not sleep nights, had rheumatism and my heart would palpitate at times so that it seemed it would jump out of my body. "I came to the conclusion that there wait no relief for me and that I was about wound up. when I saw a Postum advertisement. I had always been a coffee drinker, and got an idea from the ad. that maybe coffee was the cause of my trouble. "I began to drink Postum instead of coffee and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. The rheumatism left me, and I have never had a spell of bilious colic since. "My appetite is good, my digestion never was better and I can do more work than before for 40 years. . "I haven't tasted coffee since T be gan with postum. My wife makes it according to directions, and I relish it as well a? 1 ever did coffee, and I was certainly a slave to coffee." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to Well ville," in pkgs. General debility may arise from a variety of causes but weakness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots passing be fore the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakefulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and un refreshing sleep. These conditions are simply a call for a blood tonic and builder - Mrs. Lena May Brooks, Prairie Hall, Macon county. 111., after sev eral months of suffering finally found the right tonic in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She says: "I suffered terribly from a general breakdown in health, was in bed for three months and after that was able to be up only part of the time. I was sick all over, being pale, weak and thin. My appetite was gone, my head ached most of the time, and often I would faint away. "As the treatment 1 was taking did not help me, I began to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. After taking a few boxes, 1 began to get well rapidly. I am now as well and strong as ever in my life." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills utc. jperbox; six boxes. $.a, at mil druggist. Tr. Williams Medicine Co.,heneetadyTN. Y shortens the life of the bonds is declared to be a fact, and it is said that because of this it makes them less desirable in vestments. Furthermore. Mr. .Werlein emphatically stated to the ways and means committee, the members of which have the sale of bonds in charge, that the policy now to be followed, if Mr. Kavanaugh's ruling holds, will cut down the premiums heretofore offered for im provement bonds. - "If the policy of the city is to be changed, declared Mr. Werlein. . "you will find within a year that you will re ceive far less for your bonds than you do now. If tbe bidders know the city cannot purchase, and that the bonds will have to be sold to outsiders, they will not offer premiums anywhere near as good as now; I know what brought about the present good premiums,, and I tell you now what to expect if the city- is to be ruled out of bidding.. I cannot make a ruling in direct con flict with the plain reading of the city charter.' replied Mr. Kavanaugh. - "ft says the bonds shall be sold to the high est bidder. I do not see that it Is fair to advertise for bids for improvement bonds and then for the city to turn around and buy these bonds itself at par, when others have bid higher." In view of the ruling of Mr. Kava naugh, the committee was obliged to dispose of the bonds to other bidders, and all brought good premiums. The Mer chants National Bank bid for $110,000 worth of the bonds at 2! premium and was awarded 1105.000 worth. The Lumber men's Insurance Company, of New York, bid for $50,000 worth at 4'4 premium and was awarded that amount. Its bid was by wire and was on the presumption that the bonds are of 10 years life; as a mat ter of fact they are about six years lire and bear 6 per cent interest. The com mittee discussed the advisability of sell ing to the New York firm for a long time, but at last thought wise to do so. The remainder of the issue went to A, H. Maegly. $2000 worth at 2M premium, and Mrs. Dora Frazer $15,000 worth at 1 premium. There were many bidders for the bonds, the bids aggregating more than $600,000.

GIVES ROAD WHAT IT ASKS Ordinance Granting Mount Hood Line Right to Cross Water-Plpe. . I ' An ordinance, granting the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company the right to cross the Bull Run River pipe line at points In Mulnomah and Clacka mas Counties, wu before the Council committee on judiciary yesterday after noon and was recommended for passage at the regular session of the Council scheduled for tomorrow after noon. This will give the company. If It passes, all the privileges it has sought, and will enable its promoters to immediately put in their line. It is said that the provisions of the ordinance fully protect the city, and it is understood that he company will in no wise Interfere with the Bull Run line, the source of the city's water sup ply. The grades are so made, it is said, that the road will not In any manner hamper the workmen on the pipe-line in their work from time to time. It had been feared by Mayor I-.ane and the members of the Water Board, that the company intended infringing on the water system. C. W. Miller, general manager of the Mount Hood Railway & Power Com pany, has repeatedly declared that he could make no headway whatever with the Mayor and members of the Water Board, and he at last took up the case with the City Council, and it is believed they will pass the ordinance now recommended by the committee on judiciary.
