MAYOR EXPECTED TO VETO KaTanaugh Declares Ordinance Is IH-Adrlsed, as Fending Suit Would Determine Company's Rights on Thoroughfare. The City Council yesterdar afternoon pasred an ordinance, granting to the Southern Pacific Company the right to operate aa at present on its Fourth-street line for another year. This will in no taft Interfere with the case now scheduled In the Municipal Court, where tn General Manager J. P. O'Brien Is charged with violation of the former or dinance. At least, tills Is the opinion held by City 'Attorney Kavanauga, based largely upon the fact that the ordinance has yet to pass muster before Mayor Lane, and Is therefore not a law. Wtien the ordinance was called up late in the afternoon session, several members of the Council discussed It. and there were various opinions as to the best course of action. Councilman Baker said he did not wish to injure the road at ail, but thouaht that another six months of time would sive the offlrs of the company sufficient time In which to show good faith. If they intend to abandon the line for freight and the use of the steam loco motives. Would Confer Willi Company. Councilman Cottel wished a special com mittee r.amcd to confer with the com pany' officials to see If arrangements could be made to electrify the line. Coun cilman Belding said he was willing to grant another year, largely because work had been held back by the "financial furry." Councilman Vaughn declared the whole matter should be turned over to the City Attorney for Investigation, and left the Council chamber In a rage because- of the numerous conflicting Ideas of his colleagues. 0. M. Sutherland, representing General Manager O'Brien, said that it is the in trntltm of the company to take Its freight ami steam engines off of Fourth street within a year, and that money has alreadv been expended in purchasing steel for the bridge across the Willam ette for the Oswego .put-off, and that plans are progressing rapidly toward the end In view. He explained that the com pany will be able to show in the time . now extended that it is acting In good faith. Mr. Kavanaugh had left the Council chamber when the ordinance was called up. but wiien Informed of tlte passage of the measure, he paid: Declares City Would Win. "I have gone to considerable pains to arrange the city's case to meet the points I expected to be raised in the Injunc tion suit, to be nled by the company, and have every reason to believe the city would win ultimately. I regard It as very unfortunate. If the Council has taken any aetion extending the privilege of the com pany to operate over the Fourth-street line, without any definite agreement from the company's officials that they will re move steam engines and freight traffic at a certain time. Tiic city's rights in the premises ought to be determined, and this pending suit afforded an excellent op portunity to do so to see whether the city can force the company to remove Its engines and freight traffic. To extend the time is merely temporizing with the city's opportunity to settle for all time this point." In view of all the facts in the case, it Is regnrded as certain In official cir cles that Mayor Lane will veto the ordi nance. If he does, there is good reason to believe his veto will be sustained, as the Council of late has not passed any measure over the objection of the execu tive. FAILS TO REVOKE LICENSE Council Reverses Committee on Gus Swanmn'a Saloon. As chairman of the liquor license committee of the City Council. Coun- cllman Cottel yesterday afternoon dur ing the Council session announced him self as being strongly opposed to the revocation of the saloon license of Gus Swanson. whose establishment Is located at S13 Fifteenth street. North. Last Monday in the meeting of the committee, which heard charges against the saloonman. nr. Cottel voted with Councilmen Rushlight and Vaughn to revoke the license. By a decisive vote, the Council continued the license. "As chairman of the liquor license committee." said Dr. Cottel, "I voted to revoke this license In the committee merely to get It before the Council. I object to all these hearings of charges against saloonkeepers before the com mltteee, anyway, as many of them are trivial and entail a arreat loss of time." Before the comraltteee. Monday af ternoon. Dr. Cottel said be would vote to reccommend revocation of the license because Policeman Swennea, the ar resting officer, testified thac on fog gy nights, there had been bricks and empty beer bottle burled at him and that he thought they were thrown from the saloon. As a member of he commictee." ald Mr. Driscoll. "I know that this saloon keeper did not have a fair hearing be fore the lteens committee, and his li cense should not b revoked." Five cases were heard before the committee on Monday, four being: dis missed at the time, and the other Swanson being recommended for rev ocation. OUR THANKSGIVING DAY Row It Haa Continued aa National Custom Since 1621. St. Paul Pioneer Press. The first American Thanksgiving day was observed In the year after their landing from the Mayflower by the Pil grims at Plymouth, Mass., a a token of gratitude for an abundant harvest. In teoodwm's "Pilgrim Republic" we find the following account: "The Pilgrims, fond as they were of social enjoyment, had since landing known no day of rest rxoept the Mcrod day of worship. Now that the Summer u past and the har vest ended, they determined to have a period of recreation, combined with thanksgiving for their many mercies. The Governor (Bradford) thereupon sent out four huntsmen, who in one day se cured enough game to supply the whole colony for nearly a week. Hospitality was extended to Massasolt (chief of a rolghboring tribe of friendly Indians), who accepted and brought 90 people with him. The guests remained three davs. during which they captured five deer to add to the larder of their hosts. The motley company indulged in a round of amusements ana tne coioni!-v talnca their visitors with military tac tics and evolutions. "Without doubt religious services opened each day. for the Pilgrims were cheerful Christians, who carried religion Into all their affairs. Thus heartily and royally was Inaugurated the great ew England- festival of Thanksgiving. for two centuries it continued to be a pe culiarity of the Eawern States; but it ha now become National. Its annual ) re turn Ending a welcome along 'he lake rr-pc--Mn.rar.i day of thanksgiving is noticed, and one Is mentioned in a letter of 16 . . I do not doubt that such a festival was held after every harvest, and that was so much a matter of course that the records did not mention it any more than they did the great training day, with Its sermon and holiday features. Aside from these New England prece dents, the Continental Congress recom mended day. of thanksgiving annually during the Revolution and in 1784 for the return of peace-as did President Madison In 1S15. Washington appointed such a day In 179 after the adoption of the Constitution and in 1795 for the general benefits and welfare of the Nation. Lin coln revived the custom in 1S63 and since that year the Presidents have always Is sued proclamations' appointing the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving day.

FIGHT OVER PATENT PAVING Cellars Practically Accuses Vaughn of Motive of Revenge In Opposing Bitnlithlo Latter Makes Heat ed Reply; Defies Accuser. Councilmen Cellars and Vaughn engaged in a warm verbal war yesterday morn ing, the subject under discussion being paving by hard-surface "patent" brand. The personalities became so heated that Mayor Lane refused to permit the quar rel to continue, but an appeal from his decision was taken, which resulted In the Council granting special privilege to Mr. Cellars, who had Just started pre vlouelv to make a vicious attack upon Mr. Vaughn. Mr, Cellars said that Mr. Vaughn could not have shown more feel-ino- airainat the Warren Construction Company had he at some time asked for a percentage of the profit and been refused. Mr. Vaughn called upon Mr. Cellars to state the detail. If he wished to charge that Mr. Vaughn had demand ed money from the "Warren Company. Mr. Cellars refused, and Mr. Vaughn said any Councilman who made such an accustaton against a colleague and re fused to state his authority, "is a coward of the blackest and moat damnable kind." and defied Mr. Cellars or any member of the Council to prefer charges. Immediately following the noon ad journment. Councilman Cellars was asked if he would say that Mr. Vaughn demanded money from the Warren Con struction C.ompany. "I make no charge," said -Mr. Cellars. "I simply repeat that Mr. Vaughn could not have shown more Interest In fighting the company if he had once asked and been refused." "I defy Mr. Cellar." or any one else to prefer charges against me," said Mr. Vaughn. "I also say that, since Mr. Cellars refused to tell the source of his authority and to make good his In sinuation, that he is a black and damnable coward, and I defy him most emphatically." The dispute arose over petitions for the paving of Hassalo street, between Larrahee and East Eleventh street. Both Hassam and bltulithic petitions were submitted to the Council. Hassam was first asked for, after which the Warren Construction Company's agents circulated one for bltulithic. Mr. Vaughn, following out his course of many months', took a stand against the Warren Com pany, and Mr. Cellars took the opposite view. The battle raged for an hour, with the two Councilmen verbally lambasting each other in the most biting personal manner. Mayor Lane was occupying the chnlr until Mr. Cellars started to make his In sinuation against Mr. Vaughn, but called Mr. Cellars to order, thereupon. Councilman Baker appealed from the de cision of the Mayor that no member can become personal on the floor of the Council, and the Council voted 13 to 1 to permit Mr. Cellars' to proceed. Mr. Vaughn voted with the majority. Coun cilman Kellaher cast the dissenting vote. Mr. Cellars then proceeded, and he and Mr.. Vaughn lampooned eaeti other for 30 minutes. At the conclusion of the controversy the Council referred all petitions to the committee on streets for consideration. After making the Insinuation against Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Cellars at first declined to say to whom he referred, his original statement being "some Councilman." Mr. Vaughn told Mr. Cellars the tatler should "be manly enough to designate the Councilman." "Who did you mean some weeks ago when you said that 'some Councilman' could not better represent the Warren Construction Company if he was a paid attorney?" demanded Mr. Cellars. "I meant you," quickly retorted Mr. Vaughn. "And I mean you In this Instance," said Mr. Cellars. The two Councilmen stood side by side, and glowered fiercely at each other. Mr. Vaughn then defied Mr. Cellars or any one else to prefer charges against him; he Invited an investigation, he said, and urged that there be a thorough examina tion' of the entire matter. He said: "So open and notorious ha It become that the Warren Construction Company absolutely dominate this Council, that the bitullthic outfit positively runs this Council, that It is high time that there is instituted an Investigation that will go to the bottom of the whole affair. This grasping concern has Its servants its vassals here, and it controls the Council fully and completely; what it wants it gets, and no other person, firm or corporation In this city could come In here and get what It .wants the same as it does. I here and now defy this Council to prefer charges against me; I challenge you to do it, I dare you to do so." THREE VETOES SUSTAINED COCXCIL REFUSES TO OVER RIDE MAYOR'S JUDGMENT. Thin Walls Ordinance, Increase of Peddlers' License and Alberta Street Franchise Killed. Mayor Une came out victorious yes terday morning, when the City Council sustained all three of the vetoes sent in by him. These were on the so-called 'thin-walls" ordinance, making It legal for eight-Inch brick walls outside the fire limits; the ordinance lnereasing the license fees of street peddlers, and the franchise for an extension to the Alberta-street carline. The first veto message read was that In connection with the franchise grant ed to Attorney Holbrook. for the Alberta-street extension. The veto on this was sustained by a vote of 6 to 3. There was no comment by Councilmen. The veto was on the ground that no common user clause was incorporated Into the grant. On the veto of the peddlers' ordi nance. Councilman Baker said that. In asmuch as the Mayor objected to it on the ground that he thought the Coun cil had no power to give the use of the public streets to private parties, the Mayor will Invoke the law and drive the venders oft the streets. The vote en this veto was to 8. It leaves the peddlers in the same situation as now, so they can remain on the streets ami hawk tneir wares. , When Clerk Grutze read the Mayor's veto of the "thin-walls" ordinance. Building Inspector Dobson asked the privilege of reading some letters on the subject He was permitted to pro- ceed. Several letters from well-known building Inspector and fire chiefs were read, all being strongly opposed to thin brick walls. Mr. Dobson also read two letters from prominent local archi tect, opposing the proposed law, and also said that at a special meeting of the architects, they went on record a opposed to the ordinance. The veto waa sustained by a substantial vote. . - The proposed ordinance, defining the duties and qualiflesrtions as to the Build ing Inspector, was referred to the com mittee on Judiciary. This la the measure supposed to be aimed at Building In spector Dobson. It requires ten years' of actual experience as one of the chief qualifications for the incumbent, and would thus operate to oust Mr. Dobson. WONDERFUL PIPELINE. Eight-Inch Rifled Tube In Califor nia Is C82 Miles Long. Technical World. The most remarkable pipe line In the world, a line of eight-inch pipe 282 miles long, has Just been completed In California oil fields. It runs from Oil City, in the famous Coallnga country, to the seaboard near Port Costa, and its length is the least wonderful thing about it. In this Immense tube, with pumping stations 24 miles apart, a complete In ner tube of flying, whirling water keeps the heavy crude oil from the teel pipe. The well known antipachy of oil and water keeps the carried fluid and the carrier apart, but: until the autumn of 1907 this comparatively sim ple principle had not been brought Into use and the problem of the transporta tion of oil wag the greatest the pro ducers of the west coast had to face. Now this great obstacle has been re moved, and Harriman's engines on the Southern Pacific and the furnaces of his steamers which are soon to ply the Pa cific will be fed from this line, by which 17,000 to 20,000 barrels of this fourteen degree fuel oil can be moved over one of the 24-mile sections every 24 hours. The pipe line, which, by the way is the invention of John D. Isaacs, con sulting engineer of the Southern Pacific Company and Buckner Speed, Is .first rifled. These rifles for corrugations are about one-eighth of an inch In depth and make one complete revolu tion of the pipe lino In every ten lineal feet. Instead of heating the oil to thin It and make It travel tne more easily through the pipe, as Is the custom on all the Pennsylvania, Indiana and Vir ginia lines, the heavy black fluid in this case is shot Into the pipe cold, with a ten per cent addition of water. The centrifugal force given to the whole mass of the rifling of the pipe throw the water to the outside, form ing a perfect sheath or coating In which the oil travels. completely separated from the guardian water. This film between the oil and the pipe naturally reduces the friction to a great degree, as well as carrying along the oil at a much greater speed than thin ner oil of higher gravity, which is much easier to move, has ever been carried before.
