10 THE UKt,uuJiA.i. i xis ..ow l . vv v. ...... ., """" - I GULLS FOR VOTE Council Committee Favors Is sue to Build Span in North Portland. ACTS ON MODJESKI REPORT Bacnle Structure Is Approved and Project Will Probably Be Sub- mil ted to People at Elec tion Next June. The special committee named by Mayor Lane to report on the North- Portland bridge project, yesterday afternoon voted to recommend to the City Council an amendment to the charter, carrying: a bond Imus for in amount sufficient to build a bascule bridge, the location to be at a point Just north of the Steel bridge. Another session of the committee will be beld at 4 o'clock P. M. today, at which final plans will be made, and the whole proposition will be submitted tomorrow morning at an adjourned meeting of the Council. The Council will hold its regular suasion this morning, and will adjourn at noon out of respect to the memory of a nephew of Councilman Dunning, who died recently. Plan of Engineer Approved. The type of bridge recommended by the committee is that suggested by Ralph Modjeskl. the noted civil engineer, who w,ib employed specially to report on th nrt practicable means of solving the problem of handling the rapidly-increasing traffic across the Willamette River. H gave detailed reports of a proposed high bridge, a bascule or lift-draw bridge and a tube, and strongly favored the harcule span. It was early apparent that his recommendation met with the hearty approval of the majority of the people Interested most directly tn the matter, and It was predicted two weeks ago that the Council would carry out the Modjeskl jggestion. There was a large representation of residents from ,.. Kast Side at the meet ing of the special committee yesterday afternoon, among them being Judge M. G. Munly and Joseph Buchtel. who spoke briefly In favor of prompt action by the Council, looking toward the build Ing of a bascule bridge at the point sug gested by Mr. Modjeski. After con sideration, and the reading of an opinion by City Attorney Kavanaugh upon the question of procedure, the committee de cided by unanimous vote to recommend an amendment to the charter, as was don in the ca.se of the Madison-street bridge, soon to be constructed. Cannot Vote in November. One feature yet to he determined, is as to when the people will vote upon this proposed amendment. I'nless a spe cial election is called for this project alone. It will be impossible to have the vote before next June, as the charter requires a publication of Ue amendment of not less than ft days, which would make It Impossible to submit It at the November election. As it will cost ap proximately $.V-n.) to nave a special elec tion, it is considered doubtful whether the Council will feel justified In ordering one for this one matter. - The type of bridge recommended will cost, according to the estimate of Mr. Modjeski. $l..0rt. It will be sufficient ly high to permit of the passage of all liver craft without the opening of the draw, a feature particularly gratifying to the people who will cross over It going to and from their hnm-s and also for the rlvermen. The only time the draw will b opened will be when sailing vessels are towed In or out. FAVOR BRIDGE AT BROADWAY Fan Side Club Indorse Ralph Modjeski" Report. At the meeting of the North Alhlna Improvement Association Monday night a strong resolution was adopted, in dorsing the brlda-e report of Engineer Ralph Modjeski. and also favoring th location of the bridge at Broadway. There did not appear to be any oppo sition to the. resolution. The I'nlversity Park Board of Trade, which has heretofore favored a location further north, will not oppose the Broad way locatioji, and may be counted on to work for a bridge at this point. H. O. Sibray said yesterday: "We opposed the south location and wanted one farther north, but now that the report of the expert favors the southern location, we shall not op pose it. We are in favor of everything that will build up the city and the East Side. I can siy that we will work for the new bridge, now that the lo cation has been selected.' It is expected that the Multnomah Improvement Club which will bold a special meeting tonight in the hall on Mississippi avenue and Shaver street to consider the bridge, may oppose the location at Broadway, and insist that the bridge be built at Albtna avenue. A resolution was adopted at the last meeting of the club favoring the latter ' location. ASTORIA AND BAKED BEANS Mayor of Clatsop's County Seat Speaks on Snbjexf or Hospitality. ASTORIA. Oct. 26. (To the Kditor.) In today's Issue of your paper I notice a communication headed "Capt. Hobson's Trip to Astoria." which I think docs As toria an Injustice. I shall not refer to the political part therein, because as the National campaign nears its climax, a little Jolly Is excusable, but I do take exceptions to the statement "The hospi tality of the city by the sea will be ample protection against any invasion." All fair-minded persons who have ever visited our city will agree that Astoria's hospitality, like that of all Oregon, is above reproach. Captain Hobson was originally scheduled to speak here on last Thursday evening, hut at almost the last minute he found himself oblltred to change the programme In consequence whereof he addressed the people of this city on the afternoon of thai day. Notwithstanding; the fact that our peo ple had such short notice of the change in time and the further fact that most of the people work in the daytime. Captain Hubson had a very fine audience, both in point of numbers and Intelligence. Soon after his arrival on the noon train, "having expressed a desire to see the mouth of the Columbia River and the fortifications, he was courteously invited bv Collector of Customs William F. ile liregor. a loyal Republican and all around fine fellow, to make the trip down the bay in the customs boat Patrol. It was after 4:30 o'clock before the speaking was over and since Mr. Hob son instated that he must leave Fort Ste vens In time to catch the Portland train leaving Astoria at S:10 P. M. he had but a ahort time at the fort returning only IDG BONDS about 10 or 15 minutes before the depart ure of the Portland train during all of which time he was accompanied by a com mittee of Aatoriana, both Republicans and Democrats, who waited at tbe depot while Captain Hobson took hia famous ranch of beans. We had arranged for a banquet for Thursday evening, but It was not our fault that Mr. Hobson was telegraphed to Immediately proceed southward; besides, beans do not always denote a lack of hospitality; ali of cultured Boston dotes on beans and millions of good Americans enjoy an occasional plate of steaming hot beans; the only variety that seem obnox ious are the bas-beena and it may be that even the person who penned that commu nication which has called forth this ex planation, if he would fill up on beans Instead of hot air. he might feel much better, and be careful In the future about ridiculing tbe hospitality of a city. Another awful thing he observed was Captain Hobson perched on a high stool, between a train conductor and a colored porter. Well, well! Now we of Astoria consider a train conductor about as good a nr.an as can be found and the conductors on the Astoria line will compare favorably with the rest of them: and as to the colored porter sit ting besides Captain Hobson. it seems to me that both of the leading parties are Just now most profuse in their love for the colored brother and Captain Hobson being a gentleman, he is courteous to all men regardless of creed or color. It may be that Mr. Hobson should not have perched upon a lunch-house stool, hut he got the hahit during the siege of Havana, when after sinking the Merrlmac he was perched upon a life raft for nearly 24 hours while Spanish shells were flying about his head: he was only a Ueutenant then and having been advanced to a cap taincy he has the right to perch higer and I think that some day he will perch on a commanders bridge directing his fire against enemies of his country, as he detests today all who attempt to discredit the reputation of a whole community. HERMAN WISE, Mayor. ask mi TO E TAG DAY CANVASS OF CITY WILL BE THOROUGH. Young Women Will Cover Business District to Raise Big Fund for Baby Home. Plans for Tag day, next Saturday, will be completed at a meeting of the com mittee this morning at 10 o'clock In the corner room on the first floor of the Medical building. Park and Alder streets. Those who have volunteered to act as chaperons and any who desire to assist the committee in that capacity are re quested to attend this morning's meet ing, as Instructions are to be given them regarding their duties. It Is pro posed to cover the business district from Burnslde" to Madison streets and from First to Tenth streets. The Bast Side business district will also be canvassed under a special committee. No effort will be made to enter offices, the young women restricting their operations to the entrance hallways. The movement is receiving every en couragement from the business men of the city, many of them having readily offered to advertise the movement in connection with their regular advertise ments. President Josselyn. of the street railway company, has advised the com mittee that the young women soliciting purchases of tags will be permitted to ride on the streetcars In connection with their work. Every detail In connection with the plans for next Saturday shows-that the movement has the cordial support of all classes. Tbe value of the institution for which assistance Is being asked Is so thoroughly understood and appreciated that nothing but complete success could result from Saturday's undertaking. Over 700 babies have been cared for by the home since Its establishment, and more than 100 babies have been placed for adoption m most desirable homes. Tho institution has no fund from which to draw an Income, the few bequests to the home having been used In build'ng. Aside from a state appropriation It de pends upon subscriptions and contribu tions. The funds derived from Tag day operations are to be devoted to paying the cost of street Improvements and other expenses which the Institution has to meet. In answer to the criticism which aa been made that the young women en gaged in selling tags might be subject ed to Incivilities. Mrs. L. W. Sitton, pres ident of the committee, yesterday mide) the following statement: "On Tag day there will be no very young girls on the afreets selling tags. The young women who have promised their help for the day will work under chaperons and each block in the busi ness district will be carefully supervised by from two to eight or more women. Most careful attention is being given to the protection of all our volunteer work ers, and every effort Is being made to have the whole affair conducted with courtesy, honor and dignity." The following ladies yesterday offered their services to the commmittee as chaperons on Saturday: Mrs. Samuel I.oekwrvod. Mrs. Thomas Kerr. Mrs. n W. Coe. Mrs. M. D. Wisdom. Mrs Brooking. Mrs. E. O. Mattern. Mrs. Harry Clark. Mrs. J. K. Kollock. Mrs. R. B. Lamson. Mrs. C. w. Sherman. TRY TO BURGLARIZE CAR Toughs Board St. Jolin Line, but Alight Very Suddenly. What Is believed by the police to have been an attempt to hold-up a St. John car was made last night shortly before S o'clock, at Northern Hill, just outside of Woodlawn. The train consisted of car No. 4 and an open trailer. Three rough-looking men boarded the moving train. One got on at the front platform of the motor-car. one on the rear plat form and the third man swung on to the trailer. The trailer was deserted and the third man climbed over the dash board to join his companion of the for ward car. This action caused some apprehension on the part of the conductor. He col lected fares from the three men but about SOOT yards from where they boarded the car. they suddenly alighted. On their arrival In the city the streetcar men reported the affair. The police are work ing on the case. A party of men searching the brush from St. John reported that they had seen three men answering the description of these men and that they had fired several shots at them but had made their escape In the brush.

It is ex pected to be installed and in operation in the Caxadero plant not later than Novem ber 15. - This generator will Increase the power of the plant 3600 horsepower. This dyna mo is designed and tested to stand a speed of 650 revolutions per minute, while the snouting velocity of the water wheel tur bines that spin the generators at the plant turn at the rate of too revolutions a min ute. This elves a wide margin of safety and provides against the water wheels running away with the generators ana wrecking the whole plant, as was the causa of the destruction of the power house machinery last June. "A second generator of the same size will leave the same factory within the next 15 days and will be rushed through to Portland," said President Josselyn oi the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company yesterday. "This apparatus, when installed, will further increase the power of the plant another 3500 horse power, bringing It up to what it was be fore the accident last spring ana win take care. of the increasing demand for electric power In this vicinity for the next two years if the requirements in crease as they have in the past two years.

"When president Wlnchell, of the Rock Island, was in the city," said President Josselyn, of the - Portland Railway. Light A Power Company, "he expressed hl:ns6lf as astonished at see ing one of our electric locomotives hauling a train of 40 loaded steam standard freight cars Into the city on the O. W. P. division. He said the possi bilities of eiectrlc traction had never annealed to him so strongly before. He saw great possibilities in freight and passenger transportation even on steam railways by the use of electric power. "President Wincliell expressed him self to me tn Chicago as being amazed and delighted at the many wonderful features of this section of the country and the prospects for the future. Peo ple generally, throughout the United States are Just beginning to wake up to the possibilities of the great Facino Northwest and President Winchell pre dicts tho continued rapid growth of this section. It is pleasing to see our selves as others see us and to know that people here, instead of exasperat ing, do not tell half what is rue about th:s wonderful country. . "The effect of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-cific fair will be to bring this section again into prominence before the peo ple as during the Lewis and Clark fair. and. with Taft elected, and the confidence of the people restored, noth ing but a dark calamity that cannot be forseen will prevent this country, and Portland in particular, from forg ing ahead in the same conservative and substantial manner as in the past."

Attorney Logan said that Lux" wife, Mary Allen Lux. with their two children, lives at Berkeley. Lux, he said. Is en deavoring, for personal reasons, to reach New York. Mr. Logan also remarked that Governor Chamberlain, who was In the courtroom several days ago when the Lux case came up, has said in conversing with Logan that It was strange the Cali fornia asylum at Napa should make -such a strenuous effort to' locate Lux. Mr. Logan replied that he believed others than the California authorities were be hind the effort to take his client south, and that the state was not bearing the expense. When the court announced that Lux would be taken to Salem, Mr. Loga,n, jubilant over his victory, said no ap peal to the Supreme Court would be taken. When Mr. Logan contended yesterday that the rocord upon which Lux was to be returned to California was not com plete.

SALOON LAW IS UP Big Fight Expected Today on Cellars Measure. COUNCIL HAS MUCH WORK Cotters Milk Ordinance) and Bill to Drive Hawkers Off Streets Will Be Submitted for Vote at Regular Session. The Cellars "women-ln-saloon" ordi nance will occupy the center of the stage during the session of the City Council today, as the Rushlight amend ment, aimed to cut down the required amount of floor space for the serving of liquor with meals and adding the words "eating house," Is to be put up for action. The outcome is doubtful, but one thing has been learned which would seem to give at least some de gree of hope to the supporters of the Cellars law. Mayor Lane Is regarded as a strong friend of the measure, and it Is said that, if the amendment now proposed is carried today, the Mayor will veto it. If he vetoes it, the en emies of the Cellars law will be unable. It is thought, to rally sufficient votes to pass it over his objection. Six Can Retain Law. It is quite generally believed that, if the opponents of the Cellars ordi nance combine on an amendment and concentrate their strength today, they will be able to carry their point. It Is considered a certainty that Councilman Cellars will have the full support of Councilmen Wills, Bennett, Menefee and Wallace In his fight for the life of the present measure, and it Is prob able that there may be others who will prefer to see a further test of the law before taking action to change Its provisions. Six of the 15 members of the Council have it within their power to quash any ordinance or amendment, provided Mayor Lane vetoes it, as it requires a two-thirds vote to pass any measure over the veto. Councilman Cotters milk ordinance will be reported to the Council today by the committee on health and police, the recommendation being that it do not pass. The principal reason assigned for this recommendation is that the proposed measure is too lengthy, al though Mr. Wills declares the milk supply of Portland Is good enough, and that there is no need for inspectors. Dr. Cottel says there Is urgent need for the Inspection that would be af forded if his ordinance were passed. He declares the milk suppry needs rig id inspection, and he has also expressed the belief that the majority of the Councilmen will eventually pass the ordinance. May Revoke Two Licenses. The report of the liquor-license com mittee that the saloons of B, Pugllese and J. P. Berg, be revoked, will un doubtedly be the cause of considerable debate. Both saloonkeepers were found guilty of violating laws regulating their business, and it will be for the Council today to act on the report of the committee. At the last Council session, It was the recommendation of the committee that the license of M. Teabo be revoked, but the Council voted against this, and as' a result Councilman Rushlight strongly de nounced his fellow members.. He said It is a farce to try saloonkeepers In committee and report for a revocation of licenses, and -then to repudiate the report. The ordinance drawn to drive hawk ers off the streets of the downtown sections bids fair to cause a lively skirmish today. Councilmen Annand, Kellaher and Baker are leading the forces who seek to eliminate the ped dlers from the business section. Coun cilman Belding is the principal mem ber opposed to the proposed ordinance. It is believed that Councilman Vaughn and others will suport Mr. Belding. There is so much business scheduled for the session, that an adjourned meeting will be held tomorrow. The Council will adjourn at noon today in respect to a relative -of Cuncilman Dunning who re cently died. SHERIFF IS DEFENDANT Prevented Sale of Onion Sets, Now Woman Seeks Damages. OREGON CITT, Or.. Oct. 27. (Special.) Claiming damages to the amount of $2806.45, Mrs. L. E.

The embargo placed on betting on the race tracks Is to extend to betting on elections everywhere. Men who desire to back their opinions can safely do so without fear of publicity. The bets will be recorded by the custodians of them, but will not be given out for publica tion. This fact developed last night when a World reporter asked a profes sional stakeholder for the names of men who had put up money on the coming election. "Can't give them to you," said the stakeholder, "because it might get us in trouble. Some of the plain clothes men are trying now to get evidence against us for taking bets, and I don't want to be pinched. I am holding $14, 600 in wagers on condition that I don't make the names public." The prevailing odds at the Hoffman House, where several big bets have been recorded, are 7 to 6 that Chanler will be elucted and 8 to 1 that Taft will defeat Bryan. Other odds are S to 1 that Taft will not carry New York by more than 60,000; 9 to S that Bryan will carry Brooklyn by more than 12.000; to 5 that Chanler has 75.000 over Hughes; 2 to 1 that Bsyan will not lose New York by more than 40.00J; S to 1 that Debs polls more votes in this state than Shearn, the Independence party candidate for Gov ernor, ar.d I to 1 that Chanler carries more than five counties north of the Bronx.
