Comniltheti Flimlnatc Act of od"
From Street tirnrtt. '
Members of the streets committee of
the City Council yesterday struck out
the words "act of od." which were
contained In a proposed railway exten
sion franchise, conforming with the
usuaJ form of city contract. Council
man Vaughn, chairman of tha commit
tee, requested the elimination of the
objectionable words and he was sup
ported by tha other member. Council
men Kellaher. Cottel, Concannon, rrls
coll and Wallace.
The offensive words were part of
the proposed franchise sought by F. B.
Holhrook & Co.. for an extension of
the Alberta-street line of the Portland
Railway. Light Power Company. It
Is simply desired by the petitioner to
secure this grant In order to open up
th trolley line to Rose City Fark. A
originally drafted, the franchise, which
was merely a stereotyped form of con
tract, required the company to com
plete the track In a certain time, bar
ring: a long; list of possible accidents
and ending: "or act of God."
"I would earnestly ask the committee
to eliminate those words 'act o God.' "
said Mr. Vaughn when that section was
read. "It ha long- been offensive to
me to have that clAuse In any contract
and for once I would greatly like to
have H stricken out. It seems to me
Irreverent and the Almighty, to my way
of thinking, has nothing whatever to
do with the case and we should not
hold him responsible." The committee
waa unanimous In voting to eliminate
the words, and unless a change Is made
later one Portland franchise will go
down In history a containing no such
phrase.

stisrht tendency on the parf of Spokane.
Seattle, Tacoma and other Washington
cities to challenge our contention of
being the only rose city In the world
and that is why our Admen's Associ
ation Is looking for some of the finest
displays of the Festival to come from
these neighboring cities.
"It Is not at ail Improbable that a
fine array of automobiles from Seattle.
Tacoma. Everett and other Pugot
Sound cities will come down here over
land and participate In the Festival.
We are trying to Induce automobile
owners In these cities to make the
trip with their own machines and they
can either ship their own floral deco
rations or we will supply them with
all the roses and other kinds of flow
ers they wont if they will only promise
to come."
This week will probably wrnd np the
list of entries for the All-Oregon
parade, otherwise known aa the "Spirit
ot the Golden West." Judge George T.
Baldwin, of Klamath Falls, was In
Portland yesterday and called to close
up arrangements for the float to repre
sent the Southern Oregon city. This
float will be typical of . Irrigation,
stock-raising, ngrlcultulture and horti
culture and the middle ground will
represent a replica In electric lights
and flowers of Crater Lake.
The time is now so short that April
55 will probably be set as the last date
for the entering of floats in this elab
orate parade. At least a dozen cities
and towns have closed their contracts
with the management and these, with
the half dozen or more of historical
pieces that are already under construc
tion, will form the mrst magnificent
pageant ever seen In this part of the
country. Such Is the testimony of all
those who have seen the work that has
already been done by the float-builders
and artists now busy making these
pieces.
GRAVEL PIT IN PIEDMONT?
Oonnollmsm Tanghn Will Try to
Get Permit Through Council.
Councilman Vaughn, chairman of the
streets committee of the Council, has
started an agitation to secure a permit
for the opening of a gravel pit at some
point In Piedmont. He says the people
of his ward desire this, as they have
a plan under way whereby .they propose
making hard-surface Improvements on
a number of streets in the district
bounded by Killingsworth, Ainsworth,
Grand and Union avenues, and they
would like to use the proposed gravel
pit to secure some needed material.
Owing to the great amount of trouble
that arose in Woodlawn and in por
tions of Alblna over gravel pits some
months ago. It seems doubtful whether
any amount of pressure or persuasion
can cause, the Council to grant such a
permit. All members of the street
committee, which met yesterday after
noon, were opposed. excepting Mr.
Vaughn, who said that to open a pit
would be against his judgment, but
that his constituents wished It done,
and that he would work for tt for that
reason.

(IDLER IN COUNTY JUL
KXTORTIOMST STIl-Ii SATS HB
WAS OMiY TOOU
Few Additional Facta Are) Iiearned
Concerning Austrian Who
Threatened Slg. Slcltel.
Adolph Adler, the young Austrian
who tendered a threatening letter, con
taining a demand for 400. to Slg
Slchel. Wednesday, waa removed to
the County Jail yesterday afternoon to
await trial for his offense, the charge
being that of attempting to extort
money. Efforts to deport the man will
likely be dropped and he will be prose
cuted by the local authorities with tho
Idea of getting him a substantial term
In prison.
Adler continues to maintain that tie
was compelled to deliver the letter by
an order of Nihilists having headquar
ters In New York, but refuses to give
any definite Information concerning
his alleged accomplices. As to his fu
ture disposition, he seems to have
little concern, beyond .saying he does
not wish to be deported, aa deportation
would mean hla death at the hands of
the Nihilists, In whose service he says
he has failed.
Adler's room was located yesterday
forenoon In a lodging-house at Fourth
and Salmon streets, and a search of his
effects revealed nothing that would In
any way assist the detectives who are
working on the case.
Little was learned by the police yes
terday regarding Adler. He waa re
peatedly sweated, but would tell noth
ing in addition to what he gave out on
Wednesday following his arrest. At
noon he was taken to District Attor
ney Manning's office and sweated for
