FLUMES IMPERIL MEN LIVES ENDANGERED BY BLAZE IX MATTRESS FACTORY. Department Has Difficult Work to Check Fire at I Corner of Front and Davis. Fife was discovered In the furniture and mattress factory of Peters & . RobertB, southwest corner of ; Front and Davis streets, early yesterday morning. Before the department could arrive on the ground and get water on the 'fire,, the three-story brick building and its contents were either destroyed or utterly ruined. The structure was filled with inflammable material, which the fire soon consumed. It created such heat that the walls of the building were rendered practically use less. The blaze was discovered by Patrolmen Rupert and Gill, who turned In an alarm. A second and general alarm was then sounded, bringing to the scene trucks 1 to S from the West Side, and 7 and 13 from the East Side. Engine 1 and the fire-boat George H. Williams got streams on the fire, from buildings across Front street. After a stubborn fight the flames were extinguished, but not before the stock and much of the machinery of the establishment were either destroyed or irretrievably damaged. Adjoining the burned building west on Davis street is the New Western lodging house, the occupants of which made a hasty escape. No damage was done the premises, a fire wall protecting, the house. The burned-out Arm saved most of the records from the office and some of the offce furniture, though they arei in a dam aged condition from the effects of water. Machinists were engaged yesterday after noon in cutting away, .the door of the vault, where valuable papers and books were kept. The value of the building Is placed at 360.000. with $5,000 Insurance; that of the contents at 360.000, with 340,000 insurance. The greatest damage was done the south end of the building, in which the offce and salesroom were located. From reports made by those early on the scene, the Inference Is ventured that the Are started In a portion of the building where excelsior and similar material were stored. As no fire was kept In any portion of the building, and electric wires were cut off at closing time, Mr. Roberts, of the Arm. concludes the fire started from spontan eous combustion. He announces resump tion of business tn the same site as soon as the building can be made ready. In the meantime it is Intended to rent quar ters where accumulated orders may be filled at once. It Is hoped that much of the machinery located in the north end of the building may be saved. No one was Injured, but several firemen had narrow escapes from death from falling walls. Captain Grenfel and Lieu tenant Johnson, of Truck 1, led some men to a position near the elevator and upon warning escaped being crushed by a par tition wall. The others in the party who made their escape ere Firemen W. Royal. Lew Parmenter, W. Ring and W. West of Truck 1. and Evans of Engine L ANNEXATION PLAN HALTED r Residents of St. John and Mount Scott In Quandary. Unless a writ of mandamus shall be secured against County Clerk Fields to compel him to place on the ballot at the November election the annexa tion question, the residents of St. John and Mount Scott districts will have no opportunity to vote upon it. Mr. Fields decided yesterday, after looking Into the law on the subject that It will not permit .him to place this question on the ballot except at a general election. It is provided by the city charter that annexation may be voted on at a general election, and by article 2, section 14. of the Oregon Constitution, that these shall be held biennially in June. Athough a petition was circulated In the Mount Scott district that a vote be taken on the annexation ques tion at the November election, and a large number of signatures were se cured, it looks now as though the dis trict will be obliged to remain outside the city until the election of 1910, un less the city charter should be amend ed so as to provide for a vote upon this issue at the city election next Spring. t m Work of Juvenile Court. During August 46 children were brought Into the Juvenile Court. Of these cases, 15 were dismissed. 14 with warning, and one for lack-of sufficient evidence. Three were committed to the Boys" and Girls' Aid Society, six to other charitable In stitutions, and one to the House of the Good Shepherd. Six were placed on pro bation. In 18 cases .the charge was lar ceny, and in one case murder. Geologists say that New York City is as unlikely to- be disturbed by an earthquake u mxjt sla.ee on the slob. KILLED BY, ELECTRIC WIRE BOY ELECTROCUTED WHILE LEAXIXG FROM WINDOW. Employe of Candy Company Re ceives Fatal Shock While Talking to Friend on Street Below.

John Bates, a 16-year-old boy, suffered Intense agony for a few moments before being killed.. The wire was heavllyt charged and the boy lived only a few moments after coming In contact with it The boy was leaning from the win dow of the third floor near a fire-escape, A live wire was in close proximity. He was talking with another boy, who was on the street below, and in leaning; from the window placed his hand upon the wire. He died before aid .could reach' him.

NOTTINGHAM FIGHTS CITY Asks Court for Injunction In Dispute Over His Building. , Arrested upon the complaint of the city officials because he .erected a wooden building on East Second street, between Stark and Washington streets, within the fire limits, although . the City Council had passed an ordinance permitting him to do so. C. W. Not tingham has taken the matter Into the State Circuit Court. C. W. Notting ham & Co. filed the suit through their attorney against the City of Portland yesterday, asking that an injunction issue from the court compelling the city to desist from prosecuting .Not tingham, and from tearing down the building. This, 1t Is said,- the city pf flciala threaten to do. It is explained in the complaint that the company owns lots 1, 2.. 3 and 4, block 61, East Portland. Prior to last Februarv two frame buildings stood on the property. At that time the City Council passed ordinance NO. 16.239, establishing the fire limits and includ ing therein the company's property. The company then went to the Council with a petition for an ordinance ex empting its property on the ground that no other buildings are near, to which fire might be communicated, and asserting that it was desired to erect another frame building, with a wooden passageway between the structures. The Council passed an ordinance to this effect March 26. The company then put. up a new building, alleging it cost $1500. It Is said that the threat on the part ' of the officials to tear down the buildings is accompanied by no offer to reimburse the property owners for the resulting damage. Since the time in March when the City Council passed- the ordinance granting Nottingham the privilege of erecting the wooden building. City Building Inspector Dobson has con tended the legislation Is unconstitu tional. In this City Attorney Kava naugh ooncurs. - An effort was made by the- Council to have Dobson let the present case go without action on the assurance that no other property-owners would be given special privileges. Mr. Dobson refused. The Council then sought to have City Attorney Kava naugh stay the proceedings against Nottingham. Just before Judge Cam eron left the Municipal bench, he con tinued the case ani no action has since been taken, although Mr. Nottingham has repeatedly endeavored to bring the matter to a head. BRETHREN' STILL AT WAR Records of Spiritualists Won In Suit In Circuit Court. t Through a technicality, Harry Tanck wlch and -J. E. Trigg have obtained pos session of the books and records of the State Spiritualist Association in time for the annual convention, which is to be held in Women of Woodcraft hall next Sunday. Judge Gantenbein, in the "Circuit Court yesterday morning, decided that the de murrer of Attorney Ralph Duniway to the complaint of Yanckwich was not well founded. He also denied a motion made by Mr. Duniway to have an affidavit made by Yanckwich for the delivery of the books. . Had Attorney Duniway filed a redelivery bond for his client, Mrs. Sophia Seip. who still claims to bo an officer of the State Association, he could have recovered the goods. But he decided to go about the matter In another way. Judge Gantenbein. In rendering his de cision, said that this case is only an Illus tration of the fact, that religious contro versies are the most hotly-contested of all classes of litigation, although they might seem to involve only small matters. Hn referred to the fact, which has been al ready mentioned by counsel, that this case had been before every Circuit Judge, ;end thought that the sooner It comes to trial on Its merits the better.
