SIN STEPS OUT, AT Prominent Member of Execu tive Board Excepts to Mayor's Action. CONTRACTS NOW IN PERIL City Executive Declares That Grave Injustice Was Don to Many Firms by Severity of Con ditions Imposed. Robert L. Babln. for three yearn one of the staunrhest supporters of Mayor Lane and one of the most prominent and In fluential members of the City Executive Board, tendered his resignation to the Mayor yesterday morning and It was ac cepted. The action Is regarded as the culmination of the stormy session of the Board, held last saturnay moraius, which Mr. Sabin, as chairman of the street committee, was severely rebuked by the Mayor for recommending an ex tension of time on the contract for the East Stark-street fill, which is held by the Pacific Bridge Company. Following the exciting session of Sat urday morning. In which intense feeling was manifested between Mayor Lane and Mr. Sabln. and during which there was a decided division of the members of the Board, it has been learned that all has not been s?rene for some time with the Mayor and Mr. Sabln. That they parted company over the contracts' for the East Side fills seems certain. After tiling his resignation Mr. Sabin was asked for -a statement but declined to say anything as to his reasons. He simply said that at this time he would remain silent. Mayor Regrct9 Resignation. "I was given no special reason for the resignation." said Mayor Lane, "but I suppose It was because Mr. Sabln did not think my policy a good one. I am sorry he resigned, because I regard him as a man of absolute honesty and a good busi ness man. However. I was elected on a promise to stand by the people In every act. and I will do that at all times." In connection with the turbulent session of the Executive Board last Saturday, It developed yesterday that Mayor Ijine regards it to be the duty of the Board to annul some of the contracts of the Pacific Bridge Com pany for the East Side fills or penal ize the company the full amount, which Is $30 for every day of delin quency on each contract He regards the failure of the Board so to act as an injustice to the city, to smaller contractors and. In fact, to the mem bers of the Board themselves, it Is said. That he believes the company should be made to live up to its con tracts, la his position, and It is be lieved that the matter Is far from ended. Bridge Company Criticised. Mayor Lane yesterday gave out the Information that he had been told sev eral months ago that the Pacific Bridge Company was taking advan tage of a situation to make the East Side fills at the expense of the city. It was reported to him. he said, that C F. Swigert. president of the com pany and member of the Port of Port land Commission, had used his influ ence as such member to cause the re moval of the Port dredge from the Willamette River channel at Portland to Vancouver. In order to put In the dredge ordered for use by the com pany. "That Mr. Swigert actually used his Influence as a member of the Port of Portland and that he secured removal of the Port dredge," said Mayor Lane, "are matters that I am not in a posi tion to say are true, "but it was sd re ported to me, and I Investigated. I found that where the Port dredge had been stationed for a time, the dredge of the Pacific Bridge Company was in position, and that the company Is using the city s gravel lor Its fill contracts. Hauling of the Gravel. When the Pacific Bridge Company secured the contracts for the East Side fills, the dirt and gravel was hauled from various places over the city on dumpcars, on the lines of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, and Mayor Lane Is said to have suggested that the fills could be made much cheaper by using the river bed gravel. About that time the Port of Portland dredge was placed In the river and was there operated for some time. Later It was removed, and Mayor Lane states that he heard then for the first time : of the alleged machinations of the con tracting company. He inquired why I the Port dredge was removed, and was Informed that it was because the grav el wore out the pipes through which ; It was run. and that It was not a pay ing undertaking for the Port. Shortly after the removal of the Port of Portland dredge, the Mayor ex plained, the dredge of the Pacific Bridge Company was placed in position at the foot of East Taylor street, and has been worked ever Bince, the gravel . taken out of the river being used by the contractors for their city lobs. Mayor Lans also contends that the Pacific Bridge Company Is putting the city In a bad light with other smaller contractors, and he feels that the Execu tlvs Board should take action to demon- strata that contracts entered into by this and every other company or Individual should be regarded as binding. Small Contractors Suffer. "The Pacific Bridge Company secured all of the contracts for the big fills on the East Side." said Mayor Lane, "before they ever ordered the big plant since erected by them. They took the work fully knowing. It has developed, that the contracts could not be filled in the time specified by the city. At the same time, other smaller contractors did not bid be cause they had not the facilities to per form the work, the understanding being that the contracts must be finished on time. Had it been known w hen bids were sought that the Executive Board would hare allowed more than a year on some of these contracts, as It has done, some of the other contractors would have been able to bid and have had their share of the work. It appears to me to be an in justice to the small contractors and to the city, and I believe the Pacific Bridge Company should be shown that the city means business and that It cannot con tinue to extend time to the company with out limit and without penalty." Mr. Sabin. as chairman of the street committee of the Executive Board, as well as D. A. Patullo and Richard Wil son, the other members of the committee, have always been liberal with the eon tractors, and have granted extensions whenever they deemed it just without " penalizing any of them. They have spent much time hearing the details of all cases, and they have taken into' consid eration all of the things that enter into WROTH REBUKE trt lir.Dt-ovement work in reaching their decisions at all times. Chairman Sabin's Attitude. Mr. Sabln stated during the Saturday morning session that he had carefully considered the application for the exten sion of the East Stark-street fill and be lieved It should be granted, notwithstand ing what Mayor Lane had said on the subject, and it is believed that Mr. Sabln decided to step out and give the Mayor an opportunity to assign some one else to the street committee whose ideas would mora fully harmonize with the views of the executive. Mr. Sabin was one of the original ap pointees of Mayor Lane when the latter assumed office for his first term aa chief executive of the city, and remained un til the present time. He was chairman of the street committee and was also asso ciated with Thomas G. Greene on the police committee, and in these capacities gave much time to the city's Interests, being in attendance upon all of the meet- "owing to the absence from the city of President C. F. Swigert and Manager George W. Simons, of the Pacific Bridge Company, no statement could be secured from them as to the allegations emanat ing from the City Hall.

CHAMBERLAIN TO STUMP FOR BRYAN Governor Will Speak Through out Oregon in Interests of Nebraskan. FIRST PART IN CAMPAIGN Executive Ha Heretofore Adhered to Non-Partisan Policy, but Dem ocrats Announce He Will Soon Become Active. Onvernor Chamberlain. Oregon's non partisan aspirant for the Senatorshlp. Is to take the stump In Oregon for Bryan. This was the information given out yes terday at Democratic headquarters In this city. The National committee of the Democratic party is known to have been negotiating with Governor Chamberlain for his services as a campaign speaker for some time and It is understood that he has consented to devote the last two or three weeks of the campaign to speechmaklng for the Nebraskan. An itinerary has not been arranged for the Governor but those in charge of the cam paign in this state will insist that he spend all of his time In Oregon for the assistance he may be able to render in carrying the state for the Nebraskan. Remained In Background. That Governor Chamberlain would take an active part In the campaign before It closed has long been suspected although to date he has unwaveringly adhered to his announced non-partisan policy. He has persistently refrained from taking any part In a public meeting of the Democrats since the June election. When the faithful held their rally In the Baker Theater several weeks ago to ratify the nomination of Bryan and Kern. Governor Chamberlain sent his regrets and the audience listened to ex-Senator J. M Gearin, State Senator M. A. Miller and other orators of the party, but the Governor was not among those present. Again, when Alton B. Parker, the Sage of Bsopus, exhorted the voters to support the Democratic nominee, tne uvc.i. was at Pelican Bay flirting with Harrl- lan.

The Interests of the Governor, how- An nH with the nossiblllty of Bryan's success in Oregon. By carrying this state ror ryan, mujiuc. uu" better assert his title to the Senatorstllp and -demand an election at the hands of the legislature. The managers of the Democratic campaign In this state have been much encouraged by the apathy and apparent indifference of the Republicans and have Insisted that by means of an aggressive campaign there is a good fighting chance to carry the state. But to overcome the enormous Republican ma jority, notwithstanding the existence of factional differences within the dominant party, the united assistance of every Democrat was needed. Viewing the situation In this light, the combined influence of the state and the National committees was - directed on Governor Chamberlain, and he has yielded.

PROBE SOFT DRINK SHOPS PENDLETON GRAND JURY RE CEIVES POINTED CHARGE. Judge Lays Stress on Federal Uquor License Clause of Law. PENDLETON, Or.. Sept. 21. (Spe cial.) A grand Jury of seven farmers was drawn today and, judging by the charge to that body made by Circuit Judge H. J. Bean, it is regarded as certain that the proprietors of Pen dleton's soft-drink parlors will be In dicted for violating the prohibition law. He Instructed the grand Jurors to enforce the law as It stands and not to pass upon its wisdom. The judge also laid particular stress on the clause of the law which says that the holding of a Government license la prima facie evidence that the law has been violated. All former sa loons which are now being operated as "soft drink" establishments took out Government licenses about July 1 making their Indictment and convic tion almost certain. . Though 150 witnesses have been sub- penaed to appear at the hearing of the liquor cases before the grand Jury, several minor cases were taken up to day and the real investigation will not begin until tomorrow.
