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.

THE MORNING OREGOyiAy, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1908.
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.

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.

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. The- probable
action of the Jury is the all-absorbing
topic of conversation on tne streets.

acts on the bill are All Hunter and

Pantages.
AN ORDINARILY good bill oi enter

management this week and those who
understand what they are to receive will
be In no wise disappointed. Two or three
acts on the bill are calculated to arouse
enthusiaem and the programme as a
whole is calculated to please all tnosa
who go there in search of amusement.
The show la opened by Newman, Ash-

A team of musical acrobatic clowns

Most of our ambitioug young
American girls work too Lard at
school.
Many teachers hav little or no
judgment about pushing a child
beyond her endurance. They ought

and it takes years and years to
recover lost vitality.
Many a young girl has been helped
over this critical period, and been pre
