Mayor and Water Board Want
Second Bull Run Line.
ORDINANCE IS ASKED FOR
Plan of Issuing Bonds for Big Im
proretnent as Funds Are Need
ed Is Recommended to
the Council.
Mayor Lane and members of the City
Water Board, In session yesterday morn
ing, went on record as favoring quick
action In the construction of the second
Bull Run pipeline, for which there has
been authorised by vote of the people a
13,000,000 lasue of bonds. The Board voted,
to communicate to the City Council the
sentiment of Its members and to ask the
Council to pass an ordinance, empowering
the Auditor to advertise for sale what
proportion of the bonds may be required
In the first work that is done.
Not all of the bonds are to be disposed
of at once, as It will not require nearly
all of the funds for the first lot of work.
Trie Board will ask the ways and means
committee of the Council to sell the bonds
at such times as more money Is needed
for construction. The engineers of the
Water Board will be busy In the mean
time with some new surveys along the
proposed route of the new pipeline and
with matters connected with the entire
project. When they are ready to report
on the probable cost of the work, and
It becomes known bow many of the bonds
will hare to be sold to flnanoe it, the
Board will notify the Council and the
erst sal will be ordered.
Whether the city will build the pipe
line under the supervision of the Water
Board's engineers or will let It to a con
tractor Is an Important matter as yet
Undecided. This was discussed briefly
at the meeting yesterday morning, but
nothing definite was done. The terms
of the act, authorizing the issuance of
the bonds permit of either means of
building the new line and the reservoirs.
City Attorney Kavanaugh was present
to advise with the Board as to certain
phases of the new project and as to the
new system of installing water mains by
districts. Many' details were referred to
him for a written opinion, upon which the
members of the Board will act when it Is
received.
When City Attorney Kavanaugh asked
the members as to their sentiments re
garding the construction work for the
second pipeline, all expressed themselves
as favoring quick action. While some
of the details are incomplete they said
the Council should order the sale of the
bonds at once, so that a portion of them
may be sold when the engineers make
their report on the probable cost.
Mayor Lane declared the Board should
push the matter Just as hard as possible,
so as to get the project under actual con
struction and finish the work speedily.
Another highly important and most dif
ficult task was placed upon Supelntendent
Dodge and Chief Knglneer Clark by the
members of the Board. The reinforce
ment of the city's mains throughout the
whole municipality Is nnder consideration
and the officials named were ordered to
make an Inspection and to report their
findings so that the Board may get. to
work on this and prepare to give better
aervic next Summer. Mayor Lane de
clared this to be equal In Importance to
the construction of the second pipeline.
A motion was made and carried that
the City Auditor notify the members of
the Water Board in all cases where the
City" Council orders a hard-surface pave
ment laid. It will then become the duty
of the members of the Board to recom
mend, under the new system, that the
Council Initiate proceedings to lay the
proper slse of water main In such street
or streets. Since the new law went Into
effect, which calls for payment of mains
from abutting property, there have been
no petitions for new mains and the mem
bers of the Water Board will have to
start proceedings wherever mains are
needed.
Physicians Neglect Reports.
Portland physicians are negligent as to
reporting cases of tuberculosis, according
to the statement of City Health Officer
Pohl. to the Board of Health, which met
yesterday morning. There were but three
cases reported during August, and there
were 14 deaths recorded, showing that
there Is nothing like a strict adherence
to the law In respect to filing reports of
deaths from this disease. Ir. Pohl de
clared that all these cases should be
promptly reported, so that proper atten
tion may be given them.

Money Left by Husband.
i
Mayor Lane yesterday took up the
cudgel in behalf of Mrs. G. H. Hill,
wife of a former member of the Fire
Eepartment, who was deserted by her
husband three weeks ago. Hill was
stationed at Engine No. 7, and left
suddenly. No one knows where he
went. He had $43.06 due him from the
city, which he signed over to C. E.

that was due her husband, but found It
tied up, and signed over to Mr. Rum
elin. She was left penniless and need
ed the money. Hearing of the facts
In the case. Mayor Lane, who had pre
viously affixed lils signature to the
salary warrant, sent for It and re
moved his name. He will hold the
warrant until ' arrangements can be
made to turn the money over to Mrs.
Hill.
"I would be wHIIng to turn over the
five cents to the broker," said Mayor
Lane, "but the $43 I want to go to the
poor, deserted woman, who rightfully
claims it and who should have it."

Ha Declines to Discuss Probable
Action In Campaign Against
Vice In Portland.
Mayor Lane received a letter yester
day from City Auditor Barbur conveying
to the Executive the wording of a motion
by Councilman Bennett, made and carried
at the last session of the Council, assur
ing the Mayor of the willingness of the
Council to furnish him all possible aid
"as he may request" in the enforcement
of the law. After reading the communi
cation the Mayor refused to make any
comment. -' ,
"Will you request any additional police
men r' was asked of the Mayor.
"As to that or any other phase of the
proposed action against vice, I (have
nothing to say," answered the Mayor.
"How about the Indorsement of the pro
posed reform by the Municipal Associa
tion?" was asked.
"Nothing to say," was the reply.
The letter received yesterday from City
Auditor Barbur was as follows:
"At an adjourned meeting of the Coun
cil, held August 26. 1908. Councilman Ben
nett made a motion, which was duly sec
onded and carried, that a communication
be directed to the Mayor, assuring him of
the assistance of the Council In provid
ing such additional help, within Its
power, as he may request, in the enforce
ment of the law." '
Mayor Lane's idea is to drive out the
women Inmates of all disorderly houses,
and he has told the Council he cannot do
this and enforce such action without ten
additional policemen. He did not put In a
written application for any extra officers,
however, and the Council Is waiting until
he does this. Every member of the Coun
cil has gone on record as willing to vote
for extra officers if the Mayor petitions
for them.
Under the existing laws, both city and
state, the police have full power to effect
ually put a stop to the evil alined at, in
sofar as the disorderly houses are con
cerned. The laws prohibit disorderly
houses and make It an offense for anyone
to "frequent, reside in or become an in
mate thereof." City Attorney Kavanaugh
is of th. opinion that a prosecution started
against any man first found entering a
disreputable house would fall, based upon
the word "frequent." The courts have held
that "frequent" means to be found In a
place more than once. However, the law
being as It is, the police power extends to
what is known as "blockading" any
known disorderly resort, and It Is always
within the police power to place police
men on duty to keep tab on any such
place.

TO WIDEN THOROUGHFARE
Proposed Improvement of Alblna
Avenue la Discussed.
To make Alblna avenue a 70-foot
street from its intersection with Gold
smith street, at the point where the
East Side landing of the proposed high
bridge will be, and Columbia boule
vard, a distance of about three miles.
Is now proposed by 'the North Alblna
Improvement Association. At the meet
ing held Monday night in the firehouse
on Alblna avenue, the subject of mak
ing this street a wide highway was
considered. It was finally decided as
the sense of the meeting that it is en
tirely feasible.
Several of the property-owners were
present, and they expressed themselves
as favorable to the movement of wid
ening the street. It will only require
five feet from each side of the street.
Inasmuch as Alblna avenue passes
through Multnomah Addition, it was
decided to confer with, the Multnomah
Improvement Club and secure its co
operation. Alblna avenue begins at
the Alblna ferry landing, but It is. not
Intended to undertake to widen the
street at the ferry, as that would not
be practicable nor desirable, but the
object sought is to make a wide street
leading from the East Side approach
of the proposed high bridge through
Lower, Center and North Alblna to the
Columbia boulevard. Owners of the
Swlfton tract,' north of West Piedmont
and the carbarns, have laid out Alblna
avenue 70 feet wide, and of course
would like to see it made TO feet as far
to the south as possible.
In order to get the widening under
way, J. H. Nolta. H. Ruble and H. C.
Meyers were appointed a committee to
have a resolution Introduced into the
City Conncll to start proceedings.

CHARGES LAW VIOLATION
RELEASED PRISONER FROM
KELLY BUTTE BRINGS SUIT.
Thomas Wallace Declares That His
Life Was) Endangered by
Orders From Guards,
That it is unlawful to work city prison
ers at Kelly Butte Is the allegation of
Thomas Wallace, a released prisoner, who
has brought suit In the State Circuit Court
against the county officials to recover
$5000 for injuries which he alleges be sus
tained there.
Wallace was hurt In an accident which
occurred at the Butte July SO, as a result
of blasting. At the time the county of
ficers said that his injuries were slight,
and he was brought to the County Jail,
where he was attended. This suit Is
against A. S. Briggs, superintendent at
Kelly Butte, W. L Llghtner, F. C. Barnes
and Judge Lionel R. Webster, County
Commissioners, and William EatehiL
Wallace was convicted in the Municipal
Court May 19. of petit larceny, and sen
tenced to serve adx months. The com
plaint alleges: '
"That at said Kelly Butte prison, on the
80th day of July.. 1908, the defendants
wrongfully, and unlawfully, maliciously
and wantonly had the plaintiff confined
and restrained of his liberty In said
prison and engaged at hard labor In the
Bald rock quarry therein, and the defend
ants wantonly and carelessly and negli
gently caused, compelled and required
the plaintiff to " work at removing loose
rock and stones from said quart? on said
day. At this time there was a large and
high well of loose rock at the quarry In
Kelly's Butte prison, which by reason of
blasting with heavy charges of powder,
had become loose and dangerous, and
which wall was of a height of at least 100
feet."
The complaint then states that Wallace
was required to work under the wall, al
though Briggs knew it was dangerous, and
that it fell, bruising him severely, and
crushing his ankle.
It Is asserted that he was kept at Kelly
Butte for four days without proper med
ical attention, his injuries being thereby
aggravated. Wallace says he Is perma
nently crippled as a result.
Wallace was a steamboat steward, earn
ing J100 a month. He Is 32 years old. He
asks for $2000 for his Injuries and S3OC0
for his loss in wages. Attorney J. A.
Jeffrey appears as counsel for Wallace.
