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.

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.

Employe of Candy Company Re
ceives Fatal Shock While Talking
to Friend on Street Below.
Placing his hand on a live wire out
side the third floor of the Aldon Candy
Company's building: at Twelfth and
Glisan streets yesterday. John Bates, a
16-year-old boy, suffered Intense agony

dow of the third floor near a fire-escape,

from the window placed his hand upon
the wire. He died before aid .could
reach' him.
An Inquest will be held by Coroner

a few weeks.
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.
