"Wrecked Steamship Due Here
for Repairs Does Not
Arrive on Time.
DOCK CONTRACT IN FORCE
Contractor Secures Dock forPerlod
of Four Weeks, Beginning Sep
tember 1 1 Vessel on Rocks
In Alaska Last July.
The British steamship Beechley. which
was due to go on the Port of Portland
! drvdock for repairs, has not been re
; ported In at Astoria. The dock waa en
caged for a period of four weeks, begln
inlng September 11. and it was thought
that the vessel would reach here In time
, in be raised on that date. She Is fully
ltiM nt Astoria.
The Beechley. from Nanaimo for Nome,
went ashore on Shlnrock July 9. She was
towed off by the Revenue Cutter Thetis,
1 the steamship Corwln and the steam
whalers Jeanette and Beluga. The
Beechley had two holes stove in her bow
and many plates were badly- wrenched.
Her fore peak was full of water when she
was pulled off. and It was found neces
sary to Jettison 1000 tons of coal and
300.040 feet of lumber in order to keep
her from sinking.
Bids for the repair of the craft were
opened In Seattle and the contract was
awarded to A. Kelly. - He immediately
made arrangements with the Port of
Portland for the use of the dock for a
period of four weeks. The Beechley will
distribute a large amount of money in
Portland. Seattle docks are not working
overtime and Contractor Kelly evidently
took the dock which offered the best
inducements.

CORPORATION ASSAILS LAW
TELEPHONE COMPANY ASSERTS
ACT IS DEFECTIVE.
License Fees of Over $10,000 Al
leged to Be Due State Made
Basis of Brief.
'Alleging that the initiative act under
which $10,450.66 Is said to be due the
state from the Pacific States Telephone
& Telegraph Company in license fees on
their gross receipts. Is unconstitutional
for five reasons, the company's attorney
has finished the preparation of a brief on
theuestlon. This will be submitted to
the State Supreme Court.
It Is held In the brief that the law is
defective because a uniform tax is not
levied and because it is double taxation.
It Is maintained that the measure vio
lates the Initiative and referendum
amendment to the Oregon Constitution
and that the law requiring the license
is of no effect because the Federal Con
stitution and the amendment to the State
Constitution creating the initiative, do
not harmonise.- In this case, it is held,
the Federal Constitution takes precedence
and annuls the Initiative amendment and
all laws enacted by the people under It.
It Is the contention of the brief that it
Is inconsistent with our republican form
of government for the people to make the
laws directly, the Legislature being cre
ated for that purpose. The brief holds
that "taxation by the initiative metnoa
violates fundamental rights, and Is not
In accordance with the law of the land.
The Initiative destroys the legislative as
semblies or legislatures, which It Is
the implied obligation Ef each state to
maintain, for "a legislature must be the
lawmaking power. The initiative over
throws one of the greatest safeguards
against the abuse of the power of legis
lation, to-wlt. the system of dual legis
lative assembly."
The brief also contends that In provid
ing for direct legislation the Oregon Con
stitution violates the provisions Incorpor
ated in the Congressional act under which
Oregon was admitted to the Vnion.

SWINDLER TRICKS A MINISTER
SECURING DOLLAR FOR RAZOR
Ect Clarence True Wilson Believes His Heart Is Too Soft for Practical
Purposes Eazor Worth Only Two-Bits.
R1
EV. Clarence True Wilson, pastor
of Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, has come to the conclu
sion that he can be more, easily im
posed on than any other man in Port
land. He is thinking of advertising for
bids for a steel htatrt, to replace the
one he Inherited, as he thinks It is
too soft for practical purposes.
"I have managed to give away more
than usual this year," said Rev. Mr.
Wilson yesterday." I guess I am about
as 'easy as it is possible for a man
to be."
The reason for the clergyman's re
marks Is that he had an experience
this week which makes him think that
the man who treats men "right" is
about scheduled to get his reward In
Heaven only. Being
a well-known minis
ter, he receives
many calls for help,
a good many of
them being perfect
ly legitimate, and
others being mere
tricks t o secure
money. The latest
of these he regards
as the most ingen
ious ret successfully
played on him. Having had a strong run
on his finances this year, he had decided
to resist further appeals until he could
recoup, but a clever individual man
aged to extract a dollar from Rev.
Mr. Wilson with the greatest ease.

ALLEN TO RETIRE
AS SCHOOL CLERK
R. H. Thomas, Principal at
Stephens School, Named
as Assistant.
HADLEY SUCCEEDS THOMAS
Resigned as Chief Probation Officer
to Return to Former Occupation.
John Teuscher, Jr., Successor
to Hadley Xow Effective.
With the announcement yesterday of
the resignation of E. J. Hadley, for
one year Chief Probation Officer of
the Juvenile Court, it became known
that in connection with this action im
portant changes have been made by
the Board of Education. Mr. Hadley
has been elected principal of the
Stephens school, and R. H. Thomas,
formerly Its principal, has been elected
to the position of assistant to School
Clerk H. S. Allen. During the after
noon Judge- Garrtenbeln made public
the appointment of John Teuscher, Jr.,
as successor to Mr. Hadley. AH of
these changes will take effect next
Monday.
The election of Mr. Thomas to the
assistant, secretaryship of School Dis
trict No. 1, forecasts a new regime In
the office of the Board of Education
at the City Hall. Clerk Allen, who is
now well along on the twentieth year
of continuous service in that position,
will succeed to the clerkship.
Hadley Returns to School Work.
The election of Mr. Thomas and of
Mr. Hadley took place during an execu
tive session of the Board of Education
last Tuesday afternoon. The Directors
are highly pleased with the situation,
and are very glad to have Mr. Hadley
again in the public school service. He
was long In the schools before accept
ing the position of chief probation
officer, and is glad to return to school
duties. Mr. Thomas is an expert in
bookkeeping and kindred duties, and is
regarded as a high-class clerk.
Mr. Hadley said yesterday that his
only reason for resigning Is that he
will receive a better salary, and will
be in line for promotion, as Portland
schools are growing with the city. He
has been receiving $150 a month as
probation officer.
John Teuscher, Jr., is said to be a
man especially well fitted for the place,
having been a traveling agent for
the Boys' and Girls" Aid Society for
the last five years. For about ten
years before that he was a teacher and
principal in Oregon schools, the most
of the time In Portland. Eight years
ago he graduated from the University
of Oregon law department, and was
admitted to the bar. He is about 40
years old.
Xew Officer "Well Qualified.
"While we much regret the loss of
Mr. Hadley's efficient work," said
Judge Gantenbein yesterday, "we feel
that in Mr. Teuscher we have found an
able successor. His familiarity with
the work of the Boys- and Girls' Aid
Society will be a great help to him
in his. new position. I feel sure that
his work will be carefully, thorouhgly
and systematically done.
"Every teacher should, after he has
been In the school work for a number
of years, spend a year in some other
line of work," said Mr. Hadley yester
day. "Now that I have spent some time
In the Juvenile Court work, after
teaching school In Hawaii and In Ore
gon, I have decided to get back Into
the harness again. There is no cause
for my resignation except that I feel
that I am bettering myself. The new
position carries a larger salary, and
places me In line for promotion.

FIREMAN MAKES DEFENSE
IJndloff Asserts He Had Permis

That he had authority to take two pints

Lindloff, who was discharged by the City
Executive Board, at its meeting yester
day afternoon, upon recommendation of
Chief Campbell and the members of the
Are committee. Unflloft declares he Is the
victim of enemies and makes counter
charges against Captain May, who first
accused him. Lindloff says he will de
mand a full Investigation and trial be
fore the fire committee. He submitted the
following statement:
Referring to the thief as published in this
morning's Oregonlan. I will here try to de
fend myself before the public and ask for a
more full Investigation, that will show that
I did not deliberately steal the cream, as
stated. Let It be known that the drivers of
the creamery wtigons have given many Domes
of milk and cream to the firemen, including
Captain May (who preferred charges) as many
as nine bottle at a time, and on one occa
sion Fields, the driver, told me where the
key of the creamery was and told me to help
myself, also telling the manager that some
one wee taking cream, and for him to watch.
This was to clear himself and others deeply

roped In with a few "knockers."

City Executive Board Orders
Shap Investigation of
Recent Trouble.
DERELICTION THE CHARGE
ear Elapsed Since Purchase Was
Made, but Nothing Is Done
Toward Accepting Xew
Equipment.
The City Executive Board yesterday
afternoon ordered a searching investi
gation into the recent controversy over
fire hydrants, and especially as to who
was responsible for 100 hydrants lying
at Fourth and Market street for many
months without Inspection, when the
whole city was clamoring for hydrants
to protect life and property. The task of
fixing the blame was placed upon the
fire committee, composed of Marcus A.
Fleischner, L. T. Peery and Richard
Wilson. The motion to authorize the
Investigation was made by Thomas G.
Greene, who declared that. In his Judg
ment, any official who would be guilty
of such dereliction of duty at such a
time "should.be fired."
While no direct charge or inslnua-
tlon was made against Fire Chief
Campbell, he will nevertheless be called
upon to explain, as on him devolved
the duty of ordering the teats of the
hydrants upon their arrival from the
factory of Hogue & Swift in the East.
He declared last night that the en
tire blame for the delay in the tests
lies squarely at the door of the con
tractors, and no one else: that the
fire department was at all times ready
and eager to proceed with its share
of the work, but -was waiting all of
the eight months to hear from the con
tractors, who had been notified to ap
praise him when they wished to make
the tests.
Loud Cries for Hydrants.
Mr. Greene was particularly incensed,
he stated to the Mayor and members
of the Executive Board, because of the
fact that, upon several occasions he
had addressed meetings of various East
Side push clubs, the members of which
were crying loudly for hydrants. In
each case, he said, he had assured them
that the city had no hydrants on hand,
and that the Executive Board and other
municipal departments were powerless
until such time as some more hydrants
were bought.
"As I was a city official, said Mr.
Greene, 'they naturally supposed that
I knew what I was talking about, and
when I said there were no hydrants.
they took me at my word and waited
for many months. After the lapse of
a considerable length of time, it de
veloped that all of the time there were
lying on the streets some 100 hydrants
untested; that these were later tested
and accepted, and are now being placed
in position in various sections bf che
city."
TJrges an Investigation.
Mr. Greene said that the newspapers
had made the charge there had been
gross neglect of public duty, and he
wished that a full investigation might
be made, and the responsibility fixed.
"I think, said Mr. Greene, 'that
If there is any city official responsible
for that state of affairs; If any one
In the city employ has been guilty of
such dereliction of duty, especially at
a time when the whole city was clam
oring for hydrants, we ought to seek
him out, no matter who he may De.
The hydrants referred to were
ordered tested immediately by the
Water Board, at a meeting held six
weeks ago, at which a delegation was
present from North Alblna, making
most vigorous demands for fire pro
tection. Although it had been nearly
one year that nothing had been done
coward accepting the nyorants, tne
cests were begun the following morn
ing and 85 hydrants were soon tested
and accepted. Those that were re
jected were sent to a foundry and
will be tested later.
