"I hav never voted away any of the
right of th public," aald Mr. Baker,
arising and faclna; Mnvor Ijine. "Not
by word, deed or thought, have I ever
prlven anyone occasion to bellev or to
slat that. I am reckless In this regard.
Yet th Mayor, In a aerlc of rommunl
cattona to th public, published over
bla siarnatur In the press, has been
insinuating that T. as well as olhar
members of this body, hav been guilty
of official misconduct In this matter.
Only thia morning, 1 read a letter re.
IsMng to the propose'd vacation of
streets for th Tnman-Poulseti Com
pany. In which th Mayor urged the
people to flock here In great throngs,
lo protest against, th giving away of
these streets. I Ray that there I

In my opinion, to create In the public
mind th belief that th members of
this Ooundl ar . aefc of graftrs. at

Rt this time, Mr. Baker hnd the at
tention of the large number of people
w-ho crowded th Council chamber, aa
well aa the members of the Council.
He, directed hla speech to Mayor Lane,
and continued:
"Thia thing has now been going on for
a long time, and I am sick and tired of
It. I now call upon Tour Honor to fro-
dtrc the proof. If any. of official wrong

Mayor Speaks In Reply.
Mayor Lan. in a qluet manner, ex
plained to Mr. Baker that it has been
the custom for years for the Council to
vacate streets, for which nothing was
given In return, whenever a corporation
has asked It.
"Corporation managers hover about this
Council chamber, whispering In the ears
of th Oounoilmen." said Mayor Lane.
But I never see the people here whisper
ing to Counoilmen. and I tell you. Mr.
Baker and gentlemen, that ao long as this
rontlnuea I shall continue to enlighten the
public, on all matters coming under my
observation. Do you think I am blind?
I am not. I ee. As I stt here I watch
the movements of corporation men. and
I see what t golraj on. I tell you, I will
keep on writing to th people.

rASS I.AW AGAINST QUACKS
New Ordinance- Tlrqtiircfc riiyslctans
to nNplay Their Certificates.
With k few minor amendments, which
In no way materially alter the measure,
the ordinance regulating physicians.
surgeons, osteopaths, dentists and other
medical practitioners was pRssed hy the
Council by a large majority voto yester
day afternoon. This Is a victory for
Councilman- Cottei. himself a doctor and
druggist. The law waa Introduce by him
on behalf of the City and County Medical
Society, as th members wished a simpler
means of reaching quacks" than the
present statutes.
There are numerous "quacks" who have
no certificates, entitling them to practice
medicine, at whom the law Is aimed
particularly. It Is argued by the legiti
mate practitioners that this ordinance
will enable the police to regulate wtth
ease the practice of medicine. The prin
cipal provision is that all practitioners
are required to post their certificates In
their offices. It is made an offense for a
doctor lo practice without so posting
his certificate, and an arrest can be made
on this alone, without waiting to work up
other evidence. It Is said this ordinance
supplements the state law in a way
that- will make It possible for the offi
cials to drive out a large number of tine
desirable practitioners.
Decline to Allow Deputy.
The City Council yesterday afternoon
voted a"gaTnst a recommendation to grant
to Plumbing Inspector Hey an additional
clerk for Tiis office, at a salary not to
exceed J-V a month. The Committee Vn
"Ways and Means brought in the recom
mendation, which was sufficient to make
defeat probable, as Mayor line's political
friends control the committee.
Widen Streets in Piedmont. .
Councilman Vaughn yesterday afternoon
secured the passage, by the. Council, of
a resolution fixing the width of certain
streets. In Piedmont, at 24 feet. These
streeta are In the district bounded by
Ainsworth. Killingsworth, Union and Wil
liams avenues, and it is the intention of
the property-owners to pa the whole
tract wild, hard-surface pavement.

names of J6 per cent of the qualified
voters of the territory In question, was
before the body, and after several rest
dents spoke in favor of the movement
the Council voted to grant Ihe petltjyn.
A large number of eopie were pront
from various sections of the Mount Scott
district, and when the result of the bal
lot was announced, they burst into loud
cheers. Mayor Lane was obliged .to rap
loudly for order. A remonstrance against
the proposed annexation was also pre
sented, bearing about 3"0 names, but It
waa Ignored, as the Councilmen thought
the question Is purely one to be settled
at the polls.
Councilman Baker took a prominent part
in the discussion, first asking Mayor
Lane his opinion of the probable effect
on the city, should the Mount Scott dis
trict be annexed. The Mayor replied
that. If the residents of the section ex
pect .water, lights, police protection and
everything that goes to make a metro
politan c-ty. they will be disappointed.
He said that the lack of funds to ex
tend water mains, to put In a lighting
system, and to install fi? apparatus pre
cludes these improvements until such
time as they can be provided for in their
regular turn. Personally, the Mayor said,
be favored annexation.
Ben Rcisland. an enthusiastic booster
for annexation, spoke at considerable
length, explaining why the - petitioners
wish to become an integral part of Port
land. He thought it would be a matter
of mutual benefit, he said, in due time.
During hi speech, he said that the real
movers against annexation are the
owners of private water works in the dis
trict. He said they had been very active
and would continue so.
"I have heard these people argue
against annexation, saying that, should
we become a part of Portland we would
then fall into the hands of this Coun
cil," said Mr. Reisland, "and those peo
ple said that this Council is a body of
grafters."
"No personalities." shouted Mayor
Lane, from the chair, rapping with the
gavel.
After Mr. Reisland concluded Mr.
Baker arose and said:
"I wish to thank Your Honor for call
Ine Mr. Reisland to order when he re
ferred to this Council as a set of grafters.

That whs proper for Tour Honor to do;

Thia aar'-aallo fling created much laugh

A hearty laugh followed, and after sev

QUERY FROM A SALOONMAN
Shall He Go Into Politics? If Not,
How Will He Stay Out?
Portland. April 22. rro the Ktfr)
BHnir a nalonnman. and om;-hat bewildered.
I want to nek a quntfon of th puWte. For
many yearn the nfrwcpapem, the prachrr
and th Prohibit inn Ints have be-n adviidna
me and my colleague!! to ptay nut of poli
tic. At thf aame time the rrohlbftiontta
art Kotna- to call . local option election neat
June and put me oat of bualnwj.
Now, what am t to do? It mi to b s
caee, of "you'll be damned if you do and
you'll he damned if you don't." If I auk
my fi-tend to vote atralnat prohibition, I will
be accused of 'a-tttna' Into polities'." If I
don't. I will be rproacnd with showing
a lack of interest in my own affaim. If I
araae that prohibition ataa-naten buslneaa and
throwa people out of employment, I am
"doing: pontics." If I don't, the prachtrs
will have the field all to themselves. and
their poohlerMcal arrumenta will be believed
by many person who have never heard the
other side. I want to know how a liquor
merchant can stay out of politic when the
my is tuji- or professional1 hlrett agitators,
armed with an unfair local option law.
Again: If I am not a tub!ic sneaker my
self, would it be allowable for me to hire
some one to speak in my behalf? The other
wae aoes u. n i am not a writer myseir,
might I pay a man to write for me?
The point to thia: If F pay to have these
things doty. I wiU be accused of "raising a
huge corruption fund." But In a Portland
evening paper. April 15 . the Rev. J. R. Kno
dell. a salaried superintendent of the Anti
Saloon Ieaa-ue, stated that his side would
have a large fighting fund and that one man
alone had subscribed S10"O to It. Is mure
for the goose no longer sauce for the gander?
And further: It has been sugg-effted that
the liquor merchant publish In the daily
paper the names of all who sign the local
option petitions. If this Is done, would1 H be
Justifiable for me to refuse to patronize those
men mo sign tne petitions wntcn aim to put
me out of bueine-w? If I were to buy my
groceries and clothing, etc.. only from some
friendly store. I will be accused of "twycot
tlnar" my opponents. And yet I remember
two years ago that the Rev. J. "Whit comb
Brougher advised his followers not to patron
ize The Oregonlan. because tt refused to side
In with mm on an points. a Dustnew man
said to me the other day that It was about
time for the liquor men to patronise theh"
friend? and refuse to do trosiness with their
enemies. Now would it be wrong for my col
leagues and mvself to take this advice?
I really think the situation would be per
plexing to ar.y man. and especially to i
email llnuor merchant who Is a great be
liever in minding his own business and tn
allowing others to mind theirs.

ASKS THAT JJKHTS BK PAUI
lam White) nio petition Aicalnst
the V. f!. Noon Kntnte,
The W. C. Noon estate was brought
to the front In the 'Ttrult furt yester
day, when Team White fled a petition
asking that, when the IMS share of
stork In the W. r. Noon Bag Company
are sold the proceeds be set aside for
the payment of eisims aralnat the es
tate. White says his claim against the
estate amounts to UVi. this being the
amount of a promissory note made by
the late W. C Noon February 7, iy.
White believe that all the personal
property of the estate has. been sold.
He points to th recent derision of tha
Supreme Court. In the suit between the
heirs, whlrh waa to tha effect that the
stork of the bag company could not be
sold for the payment of claims until the
other property belonging to the estate
waa exhausted. The Supreme Court dl
rectedl that, th dividends of the com
pany be distributed to the heirs In sc-
rordance with the eodlcll of the will.
White, says It would be unjust fir the
court no allow the funds derived from
the sale of th W. C. Noon Bag Com
pany stork to be distributed among the
heirs without a settlement of the claims
being made.
The Supreme Court found the total as
set of the estate to be I5H,W1 1, of
which 130920 was specifically devised
Over against a balance not speriflrjally
devised, of tllj.1191". White plares sn
Indebtedness of between $70,000 and
ono, whlrh he says Includes the cftst of
its administration. This Indebtedness, be
alleges, is constantly IncreaFing. while
the value of the estate is decreasing.
The petition Is made pa nf the ault
brought by the widow, Krnlly J. Noon,
and the heirs, against the trusters, T.
J. Armstrong, W. C. Noon, Jr., and H.
M. Cake.

A Permanent Business Opening of
Unusual Merit
An established financial institution, having a field
of business heretofore wholly unoccupied offers an
unusual opportunity to an energetic man, who has or
can command some capital, for use in carrying securi
ties, and whose standing, experience and acquaint
ance in the State of Oregon will enable him to place
an investment of unequaled merit, an investment that
is not affected by speculation, that always has and
always will pay regular and ever-increasing returns
and that will stand the most rigid investigation.
This is a permanent business opening of the
highest order. Ability and energy, however, are
absolutely necessary.
In answering, state fully your business experience.
Replies will be treated as confidential. An interview
will be granted. Address Managing Director, K 831,
