COUNCIL MAY END
PAVING
MONOPOLY
Committee Would Take Ex
clusive Rights From Warren
Construction Company.

Kellaher Starts Movement to Throw
Open Competition for Hard-Surface
Street Improvement in
City of Portland.
The Warren Construction Company
stands In Imminent danger of losing Its
exclusive grasp on the bltullthlc paving
work In Portland, as the'street committee
of the City Council, yesterday afternoon,
voted a recommendation to repeal the
specification clauses of the ordinance
which now gives this concern the right to
put In "patent" pavement The resolu
tion to repeal was Introduced several
weeks ago by Councilman Kellaher, and
the vote yesterday showed a surprising
strength In the committee favorable to
such action. Councilmen Kellaher, Cot
tel. Rushlight Vaughn and Wallace voted
to repeal, while only Drlscoll and Concan
ron were opposed. This makes a formid
able showing, and at least foreshadows
a fight In the Council, which will meet
next Wednesdsy. and at which time the
matter will be up for final action.
Mr. Kellaher began a fight against all
kinds of "patent" pavements months ago,
and has continued It with vigor. He con
tends that the city cannot legally order
these Improvements laid, as the city char
ter specifically calls for "open and com
petitive" bids. Mr. Kellaher declares
that bltullthlc, asphalt and Hassam are
brands which are protected by patent, anl
that to specify either kind under the char
ter Is Illegal, and that the city will some
day have to pay for this kind of work out
of the general fund, if a single taxpayer
should Institute proceedings for a test.
Kellaher Asks for Repeal.
Notwithstanding this attitude of Mr.
Kellaher. and the fact that he has ex
plained the situation from his viewpoint
numerous times, the Council has pro
ceeded to order many miles of the kinds
of improvements named, as there seemed
no other means of securing hard-surface
streets. Beveral weeks ago, however, he
Introduced the resolution, repealing the
specification sections of the ordinance re
lating to Warren s Bltullthlc pavement. In
which are detailed the Ingredients con
trolled by that company.
These are known as "Warren's No. 24
Puritan brand, hard bituminous cement;
Warren's Puritan brand, waterproof ce
ment and Warren's quick-drying bitu
minous flush coat composition." . No one
outside the company knows the composi
tion of these materials, but Mr. Kella
her says that he has the strongest kind
of suspicions that there Is nothing of im
portance In them that any one else can
not purchase. He proposes to give every
one an opportunity to come Into Portland
lay this kind of pavement on a competi
tive basis.
All Patent Brands Affected.
There is an ordinance on the city's books
row which gives to every one the right to
lay bltullthlc pavement, but with the sin
ble exception of the Pacific Bridge Com
pany, which has an arrangement to do so.
none dare lav It. Comnetltion. it Is
said by Mr. Kellaher and others. Is ab
solutely eliminated, which is also true
of the asphalt and Hassam brands of
hard-surface streets.
"What I am waging this fight for Is
that we may have in Portland what the
charter calls for open and competitive
bids for all of our street Improvements,"
said Mr. Kellaher. "As matters now are,
the Warren Construction Company has a
monopoly, and it Is positively In violation
to the charter. If the Council continues
to order these patent pavements, it Is
going to result in the city having to pay
for some of the streets so paved, for
any property-owner can refuse to pay
for his Improvement, carry the matter
Into the courts and make the city pay It
out of the general fund."
There has been loud complaint from
property-owners all over the city, as to
the character and cost of the bltullthlc
pavement, and scarcely a street is ac
cepted without one - or more remon
strances. PLANS FOR NEW QUARTERS
Christian Association Decides to
Raise Money to Furnish Structure.
At a meeting last night In the T. W.
C. A. rooms on Oak street plans were
formulated for the raising of funds for
the furnishings of the new building at
Seventh and Taylor streets. It is com
puted that the cost of furnishing the
new Quarters will approximate $10,000.
Ths professsional women of the city have
assumed ths responsibility for the fit
tings of ths gymnasium, which are con
sidered the most expensive in the build
ing. According to the plan originated at
last night's meeting each person will
be provided with a strip of cloth one
yard In length. Each person accepting
this piece of cloth obligates himself to
obtain coins sggregatlng one yard . In
length. About 700 yards of coins so ob
tained will. It is estimated, in addition
to funds already subscribed, provide
suitable furnishings for the new build
ing. The new building will he ready for oc
cupancy about the first of November and
gymnasium classes will be formed soon
after. The association has secured for
this department Miss Alberta Cary, of
New York City, formerly In charge of
the gymnasium classes in the Harlem,
New York, association, and for six years
similar classes In Oberlln .College.
At last night's meeting addresses were
made by the (resident. Miss Carrie A.
liolbroolc. and Miss Constance McCorkle.
secretary, on the plans for the coming
year. Solos were rendered by Frau
Margaret Bekker.' At the conclusion of
the meeting light refreshments were

ADVOCATES BETTER ROADS
Judge Scott, of Marlon, Talks of
Improvement of Highways.
Under the auspices of the Portland
Automobile Club a meeting of those In
terested in the good roads movement in
Oregon was called for last night. The
meeting was held In the convention hall
of the Commercial Club and was pre
sided over by R. D Inman, chairman.
Will Llpman. secretary of the club, and
other officers were present.
The feature of the evening's meeting
was sn address by Judge John H. Scott,
of Marion County. He outlined what
must be done In order to accomplish
results In having new roads opened and
those already opened to be put into bet
ter shape. He explained how legislation
favorable to the cause of good roads
must come through organization In each
county of the state, and pointed out that
Portland and the country contiguous
thereto should take the Initiative, for the
reason that the city would receive the
greatest beaeflt. one reason being that
Portland has more automobiles and driv
ing teams than any other city in the
state, and would get proportionately
greater "benefit from good highways.
J. H. Albert, of Salem, followed In an
earnest address favoring concerted action
of the organizations In the matter of pre
paring a bill for submission to the next
Legislature. He said all suggestions
should be submitted to the special com
mittee appointed by the Good Roads Con
ference, and that committee would then
be able to prepare a bill covering all es
sential points so that when It appeared
before the Legislature It would be In
such form as to make amendments un
necessary, and could be considered as the
last word of those favoring and backing
the proposed legislation. Mr. Albert Is
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee of the state organization.

GIVES BOGUS DEED
G. F. Ritter Says Feminine
Wiles Entrapped Him.
REPLIES TO MRS. DRAKE
Aged Suitor Admits He Gave Worth
less Transfer to His Affinity,
Saying She Threatened Breach
of Promise Suit.
Just why Mathilda Drake got a
bogus deed from G. Frederick Ritter
to some of the Ritter property In Alblna
was fully set forth In an answer filed
by Ritter In the Circuit Court yester
day forenoon. Ritter says the woman
compelled him to make the deed by
casting the spell of her affections about
him and then threatening to sue him
for breach of promise unless he deeded
over the property.
Mrs. Drake, several times married
and something past 40, presented a
suit before the court some days ago
In which she revealed an artful plot
to defraud her, as her complaint
showed. Ritter conveyed to her a strip
of property. She had the deed filed
and was happy in the thought of her
ownership until she discovered the wily
Ritter had used "northerly"' for "south
erly" In the deed, thereby making her
the owner of nothing more tangible
than a worthless deed. She accused
Edward L. Ritter, a son, of having been
a' party to the wrongful transactions
and further accused R. G. Busse, who
acquired the property afterwards, and
sold It to Mrs. D. Bordowlck. of enter
ing Into the plot. In her suit she asked
to be declared the sole owner of the
property.
The elder Ritter, who is 68, and ad
mits in his answer being feeble and
a little short on common sense where
attractive women are concerned, makes
this allegation in the document filed
by htm yesterday:
"That rlaln'.lff is a buxom woman
of experience and well versed and
skilled In the wiles and blandishments
of lovemaklng; that she cajoled, coaxed
and Influenced by deceit, flattery, fraud
and coercion and Intimidation, G. Fred
erick Ritter, who waa then Infirm, de
crepit. In ill health and not entirely
responsible for his actions, to promise
to marry her."
The answer further charges Mrs.
Drake with having requested deeds to
a parcel of Ritter property. When It
was not Immediately forthcoming. It Is
charged that she became impatient,
said she would decline to marry the
old man and sue him for breach of
promise. It waa then that a deed was
drawn up. Ritter says frankly that he
had ho Intention of transferring any
thing to the woman.
WATER PIPES GIVE OUT
Owners Along- Williams Avenue
Have Trouble With Electrolysis.
Electrolysis or some other agency has
keen damaging the service pipes on Will
iams avenue. The heavier water mains
show no signs of Injury. This condition
has existed since the hard-surface pave
ment was laid. Nearly all the service
pipes on Williams avenue were laid new
Just before the street was paved, about
three years ago, and since then the pave
ment has been torn up constantly at dif
ferent places to repair breaks and leaks
in the service pipes. At certain points
the pipes suffer more than at others, and
several of the property-owners have been
compelled to replace their pipes several
times during the past two years. The
railway company has usually paid the
cost of repairs, but the pavement Is
broken up at places nearly all the time.
The railway company has been endeav
oring to ascertain the cause, but has not
succeeded so far. Many people have come
to believe that there may be some other
cause for the damage than electricity.
Williams avenue Is a clay street, which Is
said to facilitate the action of electricity
In the destruction of pipe, If such be the
cause.
The conditions there are practically the
same as in Eastern Multnomah, where
for four miles near Gresham the Bull
Run pipeline Is In constant need of re
pairs. Jl orew of men has been working
there nearly all Summer to stop the leaks,
but new ones are constantly breaking out.
The soil where these leaks occur Is a
heavy clay, and it has been noticed that
they do not occur in rocky or gravelly
soil.
MOTHER WEEPS IX COURT
Pathetic Scene When Ralph Ka el
derly Is Sentenced to Reformatory.
The persistent badness of 13-year-old
Ralph Kadderly got him a term In the
Reform School yesterday, and drove his
sorrowing mother Into hysterics. The
boy was tried before Circuit Judge Gan
tenbeln for incorrigibility. He had been
let off on probation once before and the
Judge thought he waa entitled 'to no
further consideration.
The boy broke two windows of a Mount
Scott car several nights ago. He used a
slungshot and narrowly missed a wom
an with an Infant in her arms. He de
nied the offense, but one of his play
mates confessed to having been present
at the time and on this testimony the
youngster waa sent to the reformatory
He was arrested by Special Agent W. P.
Lillls of the O. W. P. Company. In all,
a dosen bad boys, ranging in age from 12
to SO years, have been arrested for mis
conduct on the Mount Scott line. Several
have been placed on probation and one

WEALTH IX COAT'S LIXIXG
Fifteen Hundred Dollars Found in
Garment of Man Who Died.
L. B. BurrelU the aged miser who
dropped dead at the Postoffice lately and
whose hoard waa found to reach a total
of over 817,000, had an additional sum of
81560 sewed in the lining of his coat, ac
cording to a document filed with the
County Clerk's office, yesterday. Charles
Schnabel, lawyer for Burrell's heirs, filed
an amended inventory revealing the loca
tions of this additional amount.
"I thought a man of Burrell's habits
might have money in his clothing." said
Mr. Schnabel. "Although the Coroner
found nothing In the man's pockets I
thought It advisable to search the linings.
I did this last Saturday and found 81560
in ourrency In the lining of the coat
It speaks well for the Coroner's office
that the coat had been preserved since
Burrell's death."
This find brings the miser's estate up
to a valuation, of nearly 819.000 In cash.
There are two heirs, a brother and sister
residing in the East.
COCRT DECLARES A XOXSOT
Employes Cannot Heap Obligations
on Firm That Pays Salaries.
Employes, without direct authori
sation, cannot pile up obligations on
a corporation for which they are
working. This point was brought out
when a nonsuit was granted by Circuit
Judge Cleland, yesterday. In the case
of E. W. White against the Kllham
Stationery Company.
White is a speculator and promoter.
Some time ago he was talking with an
employe of the company named Fargo;
who said the concern was anxious to
branch out and wanted an investor
with 825,000. White located such an
Investor, who bought 810.000 worth of
stock. He then demanded a commis
sion of 82600. The amount was re
fused, and the nonsuit of yesterday
was allowed on the grounds that
Fargo had no authority to negotiate
In any such manner for the sale of
corporation stock.
MARRIAGE KXOTS SEVERED
Husband Obtains Divorce and Wife
of Another Man Gets Decree.
Two matrimonial knots were untied by
the Circuit Court yesterday. J. B.
Shandy obtained a divorce from Mary
Shandy for the reason that she had a
previous husband and neglected to secure
a divorce or await his death before mar
rying the second man.
Nellie Hawkins was given a divorce
from George H. Hawkins because of
brutality. She declared that he beat her
frequently and then deserted her.
Pearl Monroe will have to file an
amended complaint before she can be
freed from Samuel M. Monroe. She
pleaded nonsupport but that Is not a
sufficient ground for a decree in Oregon.

DEFENDS Y.M.G.A.
BEFORE SOCIALISTS
Secretary Stone Replies to
Ranting Attack Made by
E. J. Lewis.
FAILS TO WIN AUDIENCE
"Orator at Merrill's Hall Declares
Association Stands for Crime
and Is. Enemy of Work
ing Man.
Local Socialists and the T. M. C. A.
came to a final parting of the ways last
night at Merrill's Hall, when E. J.
Lewis, a professional dispenser of So
cialistic orations, bitterly attacked the
Christian organization, to the apparent
satisfaction and approval of several
hundred members of the fold. H. W.
Stone, general secretary of the Y. M. C.
A., was present to refute charges that
the organization Is an enemy of the
worklngman, but his explanations were
not accepted and his mission failed sig
nally. Mr. Stone received scant courtesy.
Lewis abused the Y. M. C. A. and the
order of things in general for something
over two hours. He connected the Y.'
M. C. A. with everything from murder
to petit larceny and declared It stands
for everything black and hellish. He
likewise poured his bitterness on the
militia and press and ended up by black
guarding his own father, describing how
the elder Lewis robbed him of his child
hood by putting him to work In a coal
mine, when he should have been at
school.
Long Address of Abnse.
Lewis, a very young man with a strik
ing ' resemblance to Kid Graham, the
Indiana middle-weight whirlwind, did not
elicit the enthusiasm that generally at
tends the meetings of local Socialists, al
though there were many demonstrations
from the less conservative element. His
address consisted mainly of unqualified
abuse. In beginning he said he would
"expose the Young Men's Christian As
sassination" and added that the organi
zation and all It stands for may be
summed up in three words, rent. Interest
and profit. "The Y. M. C. A. stands
for all the curses from which society
suffers today," he averred, and added
that a mysterious organization known
as the "Citizens' Alliance" and The Ore
gonian is part of the system for pulling
the wool over the worklngman's eyes,
while the militia is the power which in
timidates the worklngman and keeps the
wool there.
Mr. Stone here inquired who made up
the Citizens' Alliance, but Lewis evaded
the question with a flood of rhetoric and
proceeded declaiming against the order
of things In general and the Y. M. C. A.
In particular. He said It made mild
Christian young men who would respect
their masters, developed them physically
so they would work harder, and kept
them from "boozing" so it wouldn't take
so much to keep them, and consequently
cut down the cost of their maintenance
and wages.
Says Stone Is Hypocrite.
"I understand that Mr. Stone pretends
to be a friend of labor," Lewis said, "but
that cannot be. A man cannot repre
sent the capitalistic class and the work
lngman. I say that Mr. Stone In claim
ing to be the worklngman's friend Is
as big a hypocrite as Pontius Pilate."
Lewis also compared the general secre
tary to Judas Iscaiiot.
"The Y. M. C. A.," Lewis said In a
burst of noise, "is part of the system
that Is clutching the laboring man's
throat. The Y. M. C. A. stands for mur
der. It stands for burglary. It stands for
debauchery, for the white plague, it
stands for rottenness and therefore I
denounce the Y. M. C. A.
"The Y. M. C. A. wants' you to pray,"
he added. "It wants you on your knees,
with your hands raised on high. That
Is a good attitude to have you in for
picking your pockets and that's what
the Y. M. C. A. wants to do to you."
Lewis ceased speaking when the
audience showed signs of adjourning In a
body from exhaustion, and Mr. Stone
was then 'given an opportunity to ad
dress those that had remained. He said
he would be brief. Lewis asked that he
be given ' every courtesy while on the
platform and then took a seat behind
him and smiled broadly while Mr. Stone
was endeavoring to assure those present
that the Y. M. C. A. stood for the work
lngman as much as any other man.
Mr. Stone Makes Reply.
"We do not stand for the Socialist
alone as you do," he said. "We want
to help the banker as well. We want to
help every man, not alone the work
lngman. to a higher and better life. That
Is the aim and purpose of our organiza
tion and the charges Lewis makes here
tonight are something 1 have never be
fore heard breathed In the 18 years of
my service."
As to conditions, he said he would not
defend them, as he agreed with Lewis
In the main on the economic situation.
He asked that the workingmen continue
to regard him as their friend, as he felt
himself a worklngman and felt the ac
cusations otherwise were an Injustice.
Lewis hereupon arose and turned his
abuse loose on Stone, saying he wasn't
to be fooled by the Y. M. C -A. man's
pretty words. He said he didn't be
lieve Mr. Stone was a friend of labor or
that the Y. M. C. A. was an Institu
tion tending for the good of the work
ing classes, and again charged that Stone
was with capital on one hand and with
labor on the other and nothing more
than a Judas Isr-arlnt at heart.
