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.

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.

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.

Will Add 3500 Horse Power
to Cazadero Plant.
TO BE READY NOVEMBER 15
Another Dynamo of Equal Strength
Will Soon Be Shipped From

River Plant.
A new generator for the Casadero power
station of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, ordered soon after the
plant' was destroyed by fire last June,
left the works of the Allis-Chalmers Com
pany. Milwaukee, yesterday for Portland
by freight and a man from the factory

It arrives here without delay. It is ex
pected to be installed and in operation in
the Caxadero plant not later than Novem

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

tricity as an agent both for light and
power and It is our plan to Keep as iar
ahead of the requirements as possible as
well as to provide a large margin for
safety tn the event of accident to any of
the six generating stations of the com
pany. As an evidence of this, when tho
Cazadero plant was entirely disabled in
June, there was no Interruption of any
kind to our service as the reserve capa

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

annealed to him so strongly before. He
saw great possibilities in freight and
passenger transportation even on steam

"President Wincliell expressed him

I.UX GOES" TO OREGOX ASYLUM
Contention Made That Relatives Are
Trying to Get Ills Property.
Upon the statement of Attorney John
F. Logan that Lewis A. I.ux owns J15.0OO
worth of property in California, and that
his relatives are doing their utmost to
take It from him. Judge Gantenbein, in
the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon
ordered Lux committed to the Oregon
State Asylum for the Insane at Salem.
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. Judge Gantenbein placed upon the
stand John McLaughlin, the attendant
who came from Napa to take charge of
Lux. McLaughlin testified that Lux was
twl..-e a patient of the Napa Institution,
the first time in 1906. Besides Mr. Logan.
John H. Stevenson appeared as attorney
for Lux.

United States Attorney McCourt late
yesterday afternoon began his argu
ment to the Jury in the conspiracy trial
against the Paciflo Furniture and Lum
ber Company. The last witness to tes
tify was Dr. J. H. Hedderly, one of the

Want Sidewalk Left Down.
That the tearing up of 200 feet of
sidewalk in North Portland is not au
thorized by law. and is not a part of
the duties Imposed upon the City En
gineer by the City Charter, is the as
sertion made in a complaint filed in
the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon
by the Espey Estate Company against
the City of Portland.
It Is alleged that the city is about
to tear up a portion of the sidewalk
In front of property belonging to the
estate. The latter owns the west half
of the block bounded by Sixth. Seventh.
Gllsan and Hoyt streets. It is al
leged that this sidewalk was laid after
the adoption of the present City Char
ter, and that it was at that time up to
grade, and In good condition.
An order restraining the city from
demolishing the walk is prayed for.

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

BETTING MEN LIE LOW
But a Few Wagera Are Being Made
In New York.
New York World. Oct. 12.
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.
