ENGINEER LEONARD SPEAKS
FAVORS REINFORCED CON
CRETE FOR BUSINESS BLOCKS.
District Attorney Cameron made an
emphatic denial yesterday that the liquor
interests had anything to do with his or
der for the enforcement of (he Sunday
closing laws, and declared that not one
saloon-keeper had asked him. either be
fore or after the elect'on, to take any
ction looking to the cpenlng of saloons
on Sunday. He further said that there
will be no relaxation upon his part in en
forcing this and nil other sections of the
code, as he said he was elected on Just
such a platform, and that he will carry
'out his promise to the people.
It is rumored, and the rumor seems
bound to orop out with dogged persist
ency, that the District Attorney Is insin
cere In his "closing" order; that he acted
at the suggestion of the liquor interests,
the idea being strictly to enforce the
Sunday-closing laws and to make the
statute so offensive that the public will
clamor loudly for a repeal of the whole
section. With the enforcement of the
stringent law, it Is urbed. people would
aurely become disgusted and would de
mand a change.
Not Backed by Liquor-Dealers.
"There U absolutely no truth in that
rumor," paid District Attorney Cameron.
"It is not so at all. I have always been
accused by certain people of being allieti
with the interests of the saloon-keepers
and the brewers, but the other fellow got
their money and their votes; I did not
even have their support in any way. and
1 am under no obligations to them, never
fhave been. I will never allow the saloons
to remain open on Sunday while I am in
.office, and. for that matter, you can say
that it Is known that the saloon men
xlon't want to keep open on Sunday; they
ay they prefer to close, as I understand
it. At any rate, the law will ba en
forced. '
The District Attorney also said:
"I see there is a movement on foot,
since I promulgated the Sunday-closing
Jaw. to hare the Legislature rut down my
term of office from four to two years. All
right: I am willing. Let the term be cut
clown. If the people want it shortened.
Howevr, while in office. I will do Just
what I said in my campaign I would do
enforce all the laws. I am not at all
alarmed as to this short-term proposi
tion, and It is not bothering me."
District Attorney Cameron yesterday
accepted full responsibility for the drastic j
order, which closes everything in the line
of business with the exception of res
taurants, hotels, drugstores Rnd theaters,
which are exempted by the code. Kvery
thing to bootblack stands, news stands
and candy stores is included, and ail
'have been notified to close next Sunday
tr suffer arrest.
"Why did you issue the order to close
t nil these places?' was asked of the Dis
trict Attorney.
"Law Is Plain," lie Says.
"Simply because It is the law." he re
plied. "It came about this way; Numer
ous complaints came Into the office about
poolrooms, and I wrote Chief Gritzmacher
a letter calling his attention to these
facts and instructing him to enforce the
law. When this was published the keep
ers of the poolrooms complained that they
wsre being unfairly treated: that other
business houses were allowed to remain
open, although, included in the code, and I
decided to treat every one alike to close
all that are included in this section of
the code. Now. that is the whole story. J
. i nrre i& nu pioi iwiunu u, Fimpiy a clear
ease of enforcing the law as it is on the
wtatute-books. I did not put It there; it
Is my business to enforce it."
There was a suspicion among some that
flavor Lane had a hand in the game, in
asmuch as the real enforcing of the law Is
being done by Chief of Police Grltx
jnarher. However, the Mayor denied it.
when seen yesterday afternoon. He said
'that the order came direct from the Dis
trict Attorney to the Chief, and that the
latter simply accepted the instruction
and will enforce the law just as It Is
found on the books.
Chief Grltxmacher is entering Into the
matter with pleasure, believing it to be a
jrood thing for the city. He said yester
day that he sees no reason why the clos
ing of such places as poolrooms and cigar
atores. especially, will not result In im
proving the moral tone of the city.
Chief Says Open Town Does Harm.
"There are a lot of places in Portland
which have not been closed on Sunday
tiat should have been closed," said Chief
r3rltsmacher. "It does young men a lot
f harm to hang around these cigar
wtoree and poolrooms all the time, and es
pecially on Sunday. They ought to be
elsewhere at home, at church or at the
libraries, where their morals will Im
prove, Instead of loafing about the down
town joints."
As to the closing of poolrooms, it is
known that Chief Grltxmacher is favora
ble to such action, and that he felt at
"the time the first order was givea to
close saloons that the poolrooms and billiard-rooms
ought to have been included.
He regarded it as a constant source of
trouble for the poolrooms to be allowed
to run. Inasmuch as the saloons were not
to be allowed to sell Intoxicants.
The, order by District Attorney Cam
eron is the most sweeping ever issued in
Portland. It shuts up -every line of busi
ness except places strictly conceded to
fee necessities, such as the restaurants,
the drugstores and the theaters. The
transportation companies will not be af
fected. It Is said, as they are not men
tioned in the code.
Architects and Realty Men Guests at
Dinner Preceding Lecture at
Commercial Club.
Architects, builders, contractors, realty
men and others interested in fire-proof
construction of. buildings, filled the con
vention hall of the Commercial Club last
night. The occasion was a lecture by
John B. Leonard, of San Francisco, who
is regarded as one of the leading en
gineers of the country in reinforced con
crete construction. Mr. Leonard had his
address illustrated by slides reproduced
on a screen. The views displayed the
effect of the great fire In his home city,
at which time there was not a single re
inforced building In San Francisco. There
are now great numbers of such struc
tures as the people demanded a building
ordinance authorizing them.
At the conclusion of Mr. Leonard's ad
dress he invited questions from the
audience with the result that almost
every phase of the subject was gone over
and thoroughly explained.
Mr. Leonard said he considered struc
tural steel frame and reinforced concrete
frame buildings to have practically equal
merits. To the owner contemplating the
erection of a large building, the speaker
was confident that a comparison of cost
of the two types, to at least eight stories
In height, will result in the selection of
the reinforced concrete. Either one can
be depended upon to perform Its duty
truly and faithfully, he said, but all
buildings of this type should be con
structed under the direct supervision of
a competent man or men. The estimated
of the cost of the two types, as given
by Mr. Leonard, show a very material
saving for the reinforced type from that
of the structural steel type.
Preceding the lecture 29 guests of Her
bert Booth King, of the Architect and
Builder, accepted his hospitality at an
elaborate dinner served In the private
banquet-room of the Nortonia. The din
ner was made the occasion of a reception
tendered Mr. Leonard and during its pro
gress responses were made by nearly
every one present to toasts proposed by
the host, which were humorous telegrams,
assumed to have been sent by prominent
men in all parts of the country. Those
attending the dinner were as follows:
Herbert B. King. John B. Leonard. D.

E
EXECUTIV
Charter Commission May Also
Abolish Park and Water
Committees.
WILL CENTRALIZE POWER
Although Des Moines Plan Was Re
jected, Members Show Tenden
cy to Do Away With Aux
iliary Bodies.
By a vote of 8 to !, ten members being
present, the Charter Commission last
night went on record as favoring the abo
lition of the City Executive Board. Com
missioner F. V. Holman alone dissenting,
the commission also directed the commit
tees on the legislative and judiciary de
partments to report at their earliest con
venience recomemnding a legislative or
governing body not to exceed seven mem
bers, which, with the Mayor, should have
charge of the admlnlstraiton of municipal
affairs. Although having rejected the
Des Moines plan In its entirety, the dis
position of the commission aparently fa
vors the centralization of the city gov
ernment in the hands of a limited num
ber of Councilmen and a minimum num
ber of auxiliary boards and committees.
""Only Two Oppose Motion.
The motion to abolish the Executive
Board was proposed by John F. Logan,
who mcluded in his motion the Park and
Water Boards. Commissioner Rynerson
seconded the motion, which was opposed
by Commissioners Holman and McGinn,
who contended that the legislative and
Judiciary committees should have the
privilege first of submitting their report
and recommendations, which, of course,
should be submitted for amendment by
the members of the commission before
final approval. After the Park and Water
Boards had been eliminated from the ef
fect of the motion, the other eight mem
bers of the commission in attendance at
the meeting suported- it, as follows: R.
W. Montague, John F. Logan, H. H. New
hall, F. B. Beach, John M. Gearln. John
P. Kavanaugh. C. M. Rynerson and Rev.
W. G. Eliot, Jr.
While the motion originally included
the abolition of the Executive, Park
and Water Boards, it was amended to
apply only to the Executive Board. The
expressed sentiment at the meeting,
however, portends the elimination of
the Park and Water Boards' before the
Commission concludes its sessions. It
Is possible that the Civil Service and
Library Commissions and the Health
Board may survive the ax which the
majority of the Commission apparently
is wielding on the various auxiliary
boards and commissions connected with
the administration of the city under
'the present system.
Would Watt for Reports.
Commissioner Holman opposed the
motion to abolish the Executive Board
for the reason that it proposed taking
away the functions of committees al
ready appointed. He maintained that
the pommittees should be allowed to
make their reports, which would be
subject to revision. He did not wish to
be understood as favoring all of the
commissions which existed tinder the
present charter, but he considered that
the committees had the right to formu
late their reports without any impera
tive suggestion from members of the
Commission. While he would admit
that the city had too many boards and
commissions under the present order
of things, he would not favor throwing
all of the responsibility on the shoul
ders of the Mayor, who, he said, should
be provided with some kind of an ad
visory board.
Chairman McGinn adhered to the
same views when appealed to for an
expression ard insisted that the com
mittee to which this particular ques
tion had been submitted, should at
least be given the privilege of sub
mitting its own report. After the report
had been made, he said, there was
abundant time for amending the re
port to suit the ideas of a majority of
the members of the commission.
John M. Gearin supported the mo
tion for the reason, he explained, that
it was merely an expression on the
part of the commission. The support
of the motion by Commissioner Gearln
was the more significant from the fact
that he formerly served as a member
of the Executive Board.
Says Boards Too Numerous.
In discussing the motion, Mr. Mon
tague pointed out that the Executive
Board was merely an administrative
arm of the Mayor, at the same time
admitting that the boards charged
with the conduct of municipal affairs
were entirely too numerous. He de
clared that he favored a paid board of
supervisors of public affairs of not to
exceed three members. .
In support of his motion, after the
Park and Water Boards had been elimi
nated from Its effect, Mr, Logan as
serted that the Executive Board was a
useless appendix to the city govern
ment. Besides, he said, his motion,
served only as a suggestion to the
members of the committee having that
particular feature of the work in hand.
So far as the Executive Board was
concerned, he said, the duties could
easily be performed either by the
Mayor or by that official and the Coun
cil. -
Seven Mombers Suggested;
On motion of Mr. Montague, the leg
islative and Judiciary committees-were
directed to report at their earliest
convenience recommending a legisla
tive or governing body of not to ex
ceed seven members, all to be elected
at large. The motion was opposed
only by Mr. Holman who Insisted that
It was ill-advised to instruct a com
mittee as to what its report should be.
He argued that the committee first
should be permitted to make its re
port and recommendations, which, in
turn, would be subject, to amendment.
He urged that the committee should
be allowed some latitude. -
Mr. Montague contended that there wa
no member of the Commission but knew
without further delay whether or not he
wanted a compact body of Councilmen or
more. His demand that a vote be taken
Immediately was acceded to and Mr. Hol
man was the only member to object.
Additional Committees Named.
Mr. Montague also was successful in
motions assigning to the judiciary com
mittee the duties of the legislative de
partment and to the committee on streets1
and public property subjects relating to
public works.
During the evening Chairman McGinn
announced the appointment of the fol
lowing committees:
Executive department Henry B Mc
Ginn. John M. Gearln and T. B. WUeox.
Boundaries, wards, precincts and ilso-
tions John V. Logan, H. H. Newhall

prisoner. They also took the length of
fatal scantling, gave instructions that
the body be left for the Coroner and, af
ter securing what evidence was possible,
brought the murderer to Portland and
locked him up in the County JaiL
"It happened so quick it was hard to
tell what happened," the Lundgren boy,
sole eyewitness of the tragedy, told the
officers. "Hegburn began swearing at
Bllckenstofer, and after this had gone
on for a few minutes Bllckenstofer
tore off his overcoat all of a sudden,
grabbed the club and knocked him
down. He hit Hegburn Just the one
time and then walked off."
Murderer Regrets His Deed.
When he reached the County Jail the
murderer was tlamlng himself for what
he had done. But he had got over his
first bewilderment and plainly was not
unconscious of his own danger.
"He was my best friend. I wouldn't
have killed him for the world," he said
excitedly. "But he drinks sometimes
and he bad a pitchfork in his hands
and I' was afraid he might use it on
me," Bllckenstofer added. "I was so
mad I didn't know what I was doing,
and was afraid of the pitchfork, so I
just picked up the first thing I could
find and hit him with it. He had no
right to accuse me of neglecting his
horses, either," the murderer went on,
as If the care of the horses was really
an important point In his defense. "I
fed his horses, curried them and It
made me mad when he said I had not
done it. I never neglected a horse In
my life."
An Inquest will doubtless be held
todny by Coroner Nordcn. If Bllckens
tofer can prove that the other was
armed with a pitchfork it may help his
case, but young Lundgren says Heg
burn was plainly making no move
towards using a pitchfork on the fel
low. It was thought questionable last
night if Bllckenstofer would get off with
a lesser charge than that of first de
gree murder.

So it Is for a short time, but the drug
caffeine acta on the heart to weaken
the circulation and the reaction is to
cause more chilliness.
There is a hot, wholesome drink which
a Dakota girl found after a time makes
the blood warm and the heart strong.
She says:
"Having lived for five years in North
Dakota, I have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. As a result I
had a dull headache regularly, suffered
from indigestion and had no 'life in me.
"I was known as 'the pale girl,' and
people thought I was Just weakly. After
a time I had heart trouble and became
very nervous, never knew what It was
to be real well. Took medicine, but it
never seemed to do any good.
"Since being married my husband and
I both have thought coffee was harming
us. and we would quit, only to begin
again, although we felt it was the same
as poison to us.
"Then we got some Postum. Well, the
effect was really wonderful. My com
plexion is clear now, headache gone, and
I have a great deal of energy I had
never known while drinking coffee.
'I haven't been troubled with indiges
tion since using Postum, am not nervous
and need no medicine. We have a little
girl and boy who both love Postum and
thrive on it and Grape-Nuts."
"There's a Reason."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well
ville" in pkgs.

one appears from time to time. They

attention. Local railroad officials will
look out for his comfort and the Commer
cial Club will entertain him, probably at
a luncheon.
