Taylor, who is spoken of very highly

Olds, Wormian & King Team on
Way to Barn Gets Beyond Control
and at Grand Avenue and East
Everett Ituns Down Child.
Laughing, playing and cooing in the
bright sunshine yesterday afternoon at
6:30 o'clock, little 5-year-old Kenneth
Raines Palmer .of 412 East Everett
street, trundled his little "push wagon"
down the sidewalk a few yards from the
door of his home, and there was stricken
with instant death.
He was knocked down and killed by a
runaway team and delivery wagon be
longing to Olds. Wortman & King. The
driver of the wagoni Richard Taylor, a
young man 24 years of age, was thrown
out and sustained but slight injuries to
his arm and one leg. while Russell Tay
lor, the 16-year-old delivery boy who
was in the wagon with him, escaped en
tirely without injury.
The little child who was killed was
the only son of Frank A. Palmer, who
ronducts a barber shop at 27 hi North
Second street and who has lived in the
neighborhood where he now resides for
the past ten years. Little Kenneth was
always a dutiful child and when left
alone by his mother for a short time
yesterday afternoon while she went to
do some necessary shopping for the
household, he "minded" his mother's
parting admonition not to go further
away from home than the corner. Their
house stands a few doors from the
corner of Grand avenue North and East
Everett street.
Children Playing Happily.
There are two other children in the
Palmer family. One is a girl ten yeeis
of age and the other is a little baby of
seven months. The sirl was allowed
to play with others of her own age and
the baby the mother took with her.
To the iot of Kenneth it remained to
stay about the front door.
Other children played about on the
streets and on the sidewalk and on their
childish games the little fellow gazed
with wistful eyes. But. obedient to his
mother's words, his sturdy little figure
never strayed beyond the appointed
limit. As the others skipped and hopped
in childish gles he smiled and clapped
his hands and wished he were there, too.
As the sun began to creep toward the
horizon he was laughingly pushing him
self along the sidewalk on his little
wagon when the end came.
Horses Come Suddenly.
Like a bolt of lightning out of a clear
sky sounded the clatter and charge of
the two thundering horses which madly
raced out of their driver's control.
Down Grand avenue they came. The lit
tle curls on Kenneth's forehead bobbed
as he shouted with glee. The driver
tugged madly at the lines. The fleeing
horses swerved at the corner. Their
stable Is fwo blocks up this street and
they evidently wanted to get there. Their
furious pare was too swift to make the
turn and without warning the horses and
wagon crashed into the building on the
corner. The wagon stopped, while the
animals dashed full tilt up on the side- '
wane.
The curly little head that a second be
fore had been bobbing In merriment was
laid low with a sickening thud and then
without a quiver the sturdy little body
lay still and stiff.
McKenzie Phillips, who works In the
Oregon Creamery and who was passing at
the time, tenderly picked up the little
figure, and. not knowing that the little
fellow's home was just a few doors away,
carried him to the large boarding-house
at the corner of East Davis street and
Grand avenue. North. They laid him on
a sofa and a physican who had Allowed
in the crowd examined him and said that
he had died instantly from either a frac
tured skull or a broken neck.
Deputy Coroner Flnley Called.
When Kenneth's 10-year-old sister
came back from her play, his mother
from her shopping and his father from
his work, instead of the little curly
head they loved so well they were met
by Deputy Coroner A. L. Finley, to
whose lot it fell to be the messenger of
the sad tidings. He said afterward in
all the -arled experience which his po
sition as a public official had brought
him there was not, within his memory,
a case which pained him so much as did
this.
There were many witnesses to the fatal
ity. Accompanying Phillips was Charles
Thompson, also an employe of the Ore
gon Creamery. Mrs. A. O. Horton, who
lives next door to the Palmers, was within
a few feet of the child when it was
killed and narrowly escaped injury her
self. She had just turned the corner of
the street when the horses came upon
them. She said last night that they
turned so suddenly she was unaware of
their presence until It was too late. It
happened so suddenly that she did not
even have time to step back out of the
way. Being- so close to the scene of the
arrident. she saw how the little boy was
killed. It was supposed that one of the
horses trampled him, but Mrs. H. 1 ton says
that the horses swung clear of the child
and that the rim or the hub of the wheel
ftuck him, felling him to the sidewalk,
which he struck with hi3 head with
great violence.
Whole Neighborhood Grieved.
Grief at the shocking death which over
took the manly little fellow is, not con
fined to his parents. The neighbors also
fori his loss to a remarkable degree. In
more than one sympathetic eye big tears
welled up as it learned that little Ken
neth, who had been everybody's play,
fellow, had been killed. "He was the best
child I ever saw," said one red-eyed
mother, who lives nearby. "It did not
make any difference what his mother told
him to do, he did it." No arrangements
have been made as yet for the funeral.
Fine Horses in Team.
The' runaway team which caused the
death, is as fine a pair ae there is in
the Oldst Wortman & King stable. It
is a young, strong team of grays. In
the stable they are known as Jack and
Ned. In charge of the driver, Taylor,
after the day's work, they were on
their way to the stable, which Is sit
uated two blocks further east on East
Everett street than the Palmer resi
dence. When they came into sight of
the stable Ned whinnied. Both, horses
struck up a little faster gait. Jack,
full of life and spirits, kicked up In a
froiicky way. As his heels came down
to the ground, one of them got on the
wrong side of the wagon-pole. His
steel shoe cut a gash on Ned's hind leg,
startled him, and Ned Jumped forward.
Jack had some trouble In getting his

RIVER IS RISING SLOWLY
WILL REACH 16.5 FEET- AT
PORTLAND IX TWO DAYS.
Weather Bureau Makes No Predic
tions Beyond Wednesday Hot
. Sun Is Melting Snow.
"It is impossible for the Weather
Bureau to predict river conditions more
than two days in advance," said Fore
caster Lodholz yesterday. "From pres
ent conditions, I would say that the
Willamette will reach a stage of 16.5
feet. Beyond that. I cannot say.
The Snake is falling very slowly
at Riparia, and at Wenatchee, ' on the
Upper Columbia, there Is a decided rise.
There might be high water but I
would not like to predict it at this
time."
The Willamette River at Portland
registered 15.6 feet on the Government
gauge yesterday afternoon, a rise of .7
foot since the previous day. This rise
will continue for several days, and the
water will come over many of the
docks. The locks at the Cascades will
probably close by the end of the week
and the steamboating between Port
land and The Dalles will cease until
the water subsides.
The Snake is falling slightly at
Riparia, but more water is expected.
At Wenatchee, on the Upper Columbia,
there has been a decided" rise. Con
tinued hot weather in British Columbia
will force large quantities of water into
the Columbia, and will cause flood con
ditions at all points. There is a large
quantity of snow north of the Ameri
can line, and there has been several
days of hot weather. This is respon
sible for the rise at Wenatchee.
The rise at The Dalles was six inches
yesterday, and the water at that point
stood 28.3. At Cascade Locks the
gauge (not official) read 30.6 feet.
There was a continued and rapid rise
at Umatilla.
The thermometer at Portland yester
day reached 85 degrees, four degrees
hotter than Sunday. The shirtwaist
man made his initial appearance for the
season, and heavy clothing, which was
badly needed a week ago, was cast
aside and clothing stores did a land
office business in Summer toggery.
Hourly temperatures, as reported by
the Weather Bureau, were as follows:
5 A..M., 59 degrees; 6. 62 degrees; 7, 67
degrees; 10, 72 degrees; 11, 74 degrees;
12 noon, 77 degrees; 1 P. M., 80 degrees;
2, 83 degrees; 4, 85 degrees; 5, 83 de
grees. Cooler weather Is predicted for
today.

MAYOR LANE DRAWS THE LINE
AT "CLAUDE" AND "AMILIA"
.
Rebels at Such Names for Portland Streets, and Sends Message to Coun
cil Vetoing Ordinance. N
MAYOR LANE draws the line at
"Claude" and VEmllla" as names
for Portland streets, and he has
vetoed an ordinance, recently passed by
the City Council, changing the names of
some streets throughout the municipality,
among which were those mentioned. He
sent a veto message to the Council yes
terday, referring the matter for further
consideration. The veto message Is as
follows:
I herewith return Ordinance No. 37,902 not
approved.
This is an ordinance providing for th
change of nam of a number of streets in
this city, and the name which have been
given In it to some of them are not such a
Refusal by Mayor Lane and the mem
bers of the Water Board to purchase
fire hydrants has caused the ways and
means committee of the City Council
to take action. At its meeting yester
day afternoon the committee decided
to hold a special session some time next
week, when the matter of hydrants will
be fully discussed and a way found to
buy the necessary hydrants. Some
pruning of the yearly appropriations Is
predicted, and it te probable the fire
department will be the first to feel the
knife.
At the first of the year the Council
voted to appropriate $42,000 of funds
from the water department for the pur
chase of fire hydrants, but Mayor Lane
and the members of the Water Board
have refused point blank to carry out
the order. Fire Chief Campbell has
repeatedly called upon the Council and
the Water Board for hydrants, saying
there is grave danger of serious results
as matters stand, but in spite of this
the Council and the Board have "stood
pat."
Mayor Lane, about one month ago,
adopted the system of announcing to
all residents applying for extension of
water mains and for more water, the
fact that the Council had tied up the
$42,000, which cannot be used for any
thing except hydrants, and he has since
been energetically informing all who
call upon the Board about the handi
cap, and laying the blame upon the
Council. Three weeks ago he addressed
a communication to the Council, railing
upon the members for a readjustment
of the 1908 appropriations, in which
manner, he said, money could be se
cured from the general fund with
which to purchase the hydrants. He
asked that the $42,000, appropriated for
hydrants out of the water fund, be
turned back to be used for extension of
mains.
Mayor Lane's communication was re
ferred to the ways and means commit
tee, of which Councilman Rushlight is
chairman. Mr. Rushlight is known as
a stanch supporter of the Mayor,- and is
identified with the minority faction of
the Council, but he announced yester
day that he will not vote to turn the
$42.0)0 back into the water fund. He
said he will simply try to scale down
the year's appropriations go that some
funds can be had for -the purchase of
hydrants, but that he will not favor
releasing the fund set aside by the
Council for that purpose, and which the
Water Beard has so doggedly refused
to do. In other words, he said, he
wishes life and property protected, but
he will not please the Board enough
to turn back its funds for water main
extensions.
RAPS DRY DUST THEOLOGY
Seattle Pastor Livens Ministers'
Sleeting With Criticisms.
SEATTLE. Wash, June 8. (Special.)
Rev. W. A. Major, pastor of Bethany
Presbyterian Church, at the weekly
ministers' meeting this morning took
occasion to criticise severely some of
the old theologians of the church, who,
he declared, think more of their
theology than they do of souls. He
asserted that they would fight desper
ately to maintain the fundamental
creed of the church and everything
written in the Westminster confession
of faith, but would not take the trou
ble to save a soul from perdition,
which, he declared, was far more im
portant than dry-as-dust theology. His
remarks were provoked by Rev. Owen
Jones, who criticised colleges in gen
eral for some of their modern teach
ings. Dr. Major recently created con
siderable comment by teaching boxing
and wrestling to the boys of his con
gregation in rooms in the basement of
his church.
WIFE FILLS THE PULPIT
Seattle Woman Equal to Emergency
AVhen Husband Is 111.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 8. (Special.)
Mrs. Winfield Scott Smith filled the
pulpit of the Rational Church last
night, taking the place of her husband,
the regular minister, who is recovering
from a surgical operation. The congre
gation agreed that she filled all re
quirements. Her sermon was mainly a
comparison of Christianity and Bud
dhism, and a criticism of the local
and foreign missionary societies of the
orthodox churches. Ui explaining his
absence to the congregation. Rev. Mr.
Smith-sent a characteristic message by
his wife, which he called the "First
Epistle of Winfield Scott Smith to the
Rational Church, which Is now assem
bled in Seattle." Rev. Mr. Smith's
charge is a creedless congregation,
whose belief is along unlversalist lines.

For example. I respectfully call your at

WANTS TO ADJUST DIFFER
ENCES WITH LIGHTING CO.
Bills for Illuminating City in April
and Slay Pruned and Held Up
by the Executive Board.
Mayor Lane suggests arbitration as a
means of arriving at an adjustment of
the differences between the City Execu
tive Board and the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company over the March
and April bills for electric lighting. The
two bills have been pruned about one
third their original amount, the lighting
committee of the Board, after an inves
tigation, reporting that, the corporation is
not furnishing the candle power called
for in its contract with the municipality.
President Josselyn, of the' power com
pany, has intimated that he will carry
the matter into the courts for a decision,
but Mayor Lane desires to ha'e the mat
ter arbitrated. All the facts could be
produced in that manner, he states, and
he hopes the company officials will see
their way to enter into such a plan of
adjustment.
The Executive Board has as yet done
nothing, so far as has been made public,
with regard to awarding a contract for
lighting the streets, public parks and
docks in Portland for the term beginning
January 1. 1909. The City Council, two
months ago, passed an ordinance author
izing the Board to let a contract not to
exceed five years. Mayor Lane, however,
started a campaign for municipal owner
ship of lighting, and conducted it with
such vigor that he forced the Council
committee on street lighting to make an
investigation. After going into the de
tails, the committee found no way out
of awarding at least one more contract to
the local power company.
Offirials of the Portland Railway. Light
& Power Company wished the contract
awarded quickly, in order that, if they
secured the work, they might install the
necessary machinery to handle it with.
It seems, however, from the inaction of
the Executive Board, that the Mayor in
tends to hold up the award Just as long
as he can. What he will do next in his
fight- for municipal ownership remains to
be seen. In the meantime, the present
term will soon expire, and, unless some
thing is done, no one will have a contract
for furnishing lights.

DISPUTE OVER SIDEWALK
George H. Palethorpe Causes Arrest
of Allen R. Joy.

street, acting for his daughter, Mabel,
yesterday afternoon swore to a complaint
before Municipal Judge Cameron charg
ing Allen R. Joy, an attorney, with vio
ating a city ordinance relative to prop
erty interests.
Attorney Joy resides at 1191 Taggart
street, in a house adjoining the Pale
thorpe home, and, according to the com
plaint, he built a cement walk around
his home, and in doing so encroached two
feet upon the lot belonging to Miss Pale
thorpe. Mr. Joy says that the walk is not on
his neighbor's property, and that he owns
several feet outside the disputed terri
tory. The Palethorpes allege that his
walk is on 'their property, and the mat
ter has been a source of controversy be
tween the two parties for over a year,
and, all other means failing of a settle

to have the matter settled in court.

IHIS ORDINANCE RESTING
STATUS OF LAW TO KEEP THE
WOMEN OUT OF SALOON'S.
Introduced by Councilman Driscoll
Months Ago, It Sliinibcrs
in Committee.
Slumbering peacefully in a City Hall
pigeon-hole is an ordinance, drafted, as
it states, to prohibit women from enter
ing saloons. It was introduced by Coun
cilman Driscoll several months ago, and
at the time it was said that nearly all
the members of the Council favored its
passage.
Time and again, the liquor-license com
mittee has met, but it has not considered
the ordinance for many weeks. In fact,
at yesterday's meeting, when the mem
bers were asked about it. they had to
study awhile to think what was being
talked about. It had been so long since
the proposed radical measure was dis
cussed by them that they had forgotten
it. And they promptly forgot it again. It
was not brought up for consideration, but
was left "in the box."
The proposed ordinance, however. Is
not dead; it is merely sleeping, it is said,
and may some time be brought out and
disposed of. It is said to have been the
product of enthusiasm, as it appears to
have been inspired by a spasm of virtue
which swept over the Council at the time
the members ordered the police to report
on all disorderly saloons in Portland. It
was gravely announced by the liquor
license committee that all "bad" saloons
would be closed. The police furnished a
long list, out of which the committee
actually closed one. It was when this fit
of righteousness was on that the measure
was introduced.
When the alleged disorderly saloon
keepers were heard before the liquor
license committee, it was agreed by mem
bers of the committee that the presence
of women in saloons caused nearly all of
the trouble The Councilmen were out
spoken at the time on this subject, and
loudly proclaimed that some law must be
put on the books whereby the police
could keep women out of saloons. It
looked at first as though the ordinance
would surely pass, but when it was re
ferred to the committee on judiciary, it
never got back, and Is ' still there.
Councilman "Vaughn. Democratic leader
of the Council minority faction, is respon
sible for holding up the measure. Insofar
as the committee Is concerned, as he said
he wished to investigate before voting.
Councilmen Bennett and Cellars, the
other members, declared themselves will
ing to vote passage of the measure.-

RUNAWAY VICTIM DEAD
Thomas May, Dragged Across a
Bridge, Succumbs to Injuries.
Thomas May, the veteran horse trainer,
who was fatally injured by being dragged
by the heels in the rear of his runaway
horse Saturday afternoon, died at St.
Vincent's Hospital yesterday morning.
May had been in the employ of James
Kennedy, foreman of a stevedoring con
cern, and acted as caretaker for Ken
nedy' driving horses. Saturday was the
42d consecutive day on which May had
taken the horse which ran away out for
exercise, and when the horse slipped and
fell to the pavement at Third and Davis
streets he had gotten out of the sulky to
assist the animal to rise, and in some
manner became entangled in the harness,
with the result that the horse became still
more frightened and dashed down Third
street, dragging the unfortunate driver
behind. The frightened animal with the
body of May fast to the sulky sped
across the Steel bridge and was not
brought to a halt until several blocks
past the east approach to that structure.
May was picked up unconscious and con
veyed to the hospital, where everything
possible was done to save his life, but
his age and the severity of his injuries
proved too much for medical science and
he puccumbed yesterday mornlnc.
T-ioT,iitr i-nmnor Arthur Finley investi
gated the occurrence yesterday, but de
cided that it was purely accidental and
no inquest will be held. The body was
taken to the undertaking establishment of
Dunning, McEntee & Gilbaugh, which
concern will have charge of the funeral.
May is survived by a wife and daughter,
who are believed to be in California,
although all efforts to reach them by wire
have failed.
