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.

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

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."

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."

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
