to Pay One-Fortieth of Out
standing Issues Each Year.
An annual tax levy of mills will b
the maximum city tax. If the recom
mendation of the finance committee of
the Charter Revision Commission is
adopted. The present limit is 7 mills,
hut the assessed valuation is so much
larger now than formerly that all neces
sary funds can be raised on the 6-mill
hasi. it was explained by Senator Ben
Selling, chairman of the committee,
which reported at last nights session of
the Commission.
In case the total assessment Is less
than J175.00O.00O at any time, it Is pro
vided in the report, the City Council
shall have power to levy an assessment
that -will brintr In a revenue of not to ex
ceed 1 ,030.000 a year.
There was considerable discussion by
members of the Commission last night
over a supplementary report of the com
mittee on public utilities and franchises
on the issuance of utility bonds. The
plan was worked out by T. B. Wilcox.
C. H. Chapman read the report and ex
plained the jrreat ravine that will be
made by the city in Interest on Its bonded
indebtedness under this system over the
one now In force.
Report on Ctlllty Bonds.
Thr. report wan finally adopted, and is
as follows:
The bnn4s Issued lindr the provision of

ths United Stntes on a rtay and at a placa

If the bonds lssuaed for stirh vndertaking
and the Interest thereon are not payable

receesary for the partial payment of the prin

of the principal of such bonds so issued m
provided in Section 8P. Such taxes shall be
in addition to the other taxes levied for
municipal purposes and shall he collected at
the same time and In the same manner aa
other municipal taxes are collected.
City Official Newspaper.
The Commission then took up the
subject of the city official newspaper.
The Commission finally voted that the
official raper shall be one having "an
actual paid circulation of at least
15,000 copies daily."
The subject of taxation was one
which called forth much comment from
the members. Sir. Montague declared
that "the fire department lias for years
been the pet of the Council and the
Police Department has been the ad
verse pet." Senator Selling", chairman
of the committee, explained the cutting
down of the levy for the Police Depart
ment only because the total sum avail
able on the maximum levy has never
been asked for, The cut on the police
levy was one-third of a mill, leavlngr
It at 1.58. whereas the old levy of 2.25
mills for the Fire Department was
unaltered. The report was postponed
until other reports are In. and In the
meantime Information on this line will
be aecured from other cities.
The following is the recommendation
of the committee In regard to the city
tax levy:
First. That Section 114 Cot ths present
charter) be. amended so as to provide thst
the tax levy during any fiscal year shall
not exceed 6 mills, exclusive of the amount
levied for interest charges, bridaes and
inking fund, apportioned as follows:

And thst ths levy for bridges shall not ex
ceed 1 mill.
Second, That If the total assessment shall
at any time be less thsn lTS,00O.O0
ths Council may Increase the levy suf
ficiently so as to produce an income of Sl.-
Third. That it shall be comj.ulory for
the Council to levv annually ?4 mill to
provide a sinking fund to retire outstand
ing bonds when due.
paid to it. He reiterates that the deal

adds:

am responsible for all that was done in
caftylng out the win of the Congress and
the provisions of the law enacted by v.on-
w re.ee after .rhiiittlva examination and Jis
cuesioo, were scrupulously compiled with by
the executive. While the transaction was
pending I saw Mr. Cromwell but two or three
times, and mr communications wltft nim
were Hmlteri !t the exohanse of purely for
mal courtesies. Secretary Hay occasionally
sew htm in tbe seme manner: I doubt
whether Mr. Root had any conversation

action of the Government, he said, was
whollv uninfluenced by any question or who
were or who were not stockholders either In
the new or old company.
How Money Was Paid,

zens. It would have made no difference
in ths finvemment s action, ine tram
action was carried on openly and was
published in detail, and the Govern
ment dealt solely with the liquidators
of the old and new canai companies.
The money was paid through J. P.
u.rn A r as financial agent of
i ).. r.M-ornniAni to the Bank of
France in Paris, in accordance with the
decree of the Civil Tribunal of the
Seine. The Government had nothing
to do with the distribution of the
money, but simply followed the award
of the French court, tie continues.
Under these circumstances there was not
the slightest need for Mr. Cromwell to give
anv Information on tne suojsci " ...
' . he ha,1 been counsel. This
Government has no concern with Mr. Crom
weirs relation to these companies or either
of them, or eJth the amount or nis Persona.
it was not the affair of this
Government to inquire wto were the security
holders of the company.
1,1st of Stockholders Existsj.
He then says Mr. Cromwell has sent
him a list of all stockholders oi tne
new Panama Canal Commission, num
bering over 6000. No payment will be
made on the capital stock of the old
companv and the bondholders will get
about 10 per cent. Stockholders in the
new company will get back -their orig
inal investment with about 3 per cent
annual interest. The accounts and
records are on deposit with the Credit
Lyonnals In Paris. A request from a
private individual for permission to
inspect these papers was recently re
fused, but the President has no doubt
that the list would be shown at the re
quest of our Ambassador, if Congress
desires. He concludes: '
As a matter of fact there Is nothing what
ever in which this Government is inter
ested to investigate about this transaction.
So far as this Government Is concerned every
step of the s'lghtest Importance has been
made public by its executive, and every
step taken In Frarce has there been made
public by the proper officials.
List of Canal Stockholders.
Accompanying the President's message
was a large ounaie m awnmema mol
ing upon the transfer or the canal prop
erty to the United States. Many of these
documents were in French without Eng
lish translations. There was nothing which
showed directly the persons who re
delved the M0.0on.000 paid by the United
Slates, but there were included the names
of about 7000 stockholders In the old and
new Panama Canal companies, all of
them citizens of France and of the Co
lombian Republic. There was not the
name of a citizen of the United States
In the list.
SUSPECTED YEGG CAUGHT
Xegro Acting Suspiciously Taken by
Officer gwennes.
Suspected of being a holdup. George
Hathcock, a young, Hght-oolored ne
gro, was arrested at 7:30 o'clock last
night by Patrolman Swennes at Elev
enth and Clinton streets. Dressed in
a slouch hat. with the brim turned
down. In rtsflgh-looking clothes, with
his coat collar turned up. and a blue
and white handkerchief about his neck,
with the ends knotted at the back,
readv at a second's notice to be used
as a mask, be presented the picture of
a tvpical 'stick-up" thug.
The officer observed him hanging
about the car tracks at this point,
where It is especially dark. When the
policeman approached the suspect he
did so with his revolver drawn. Hold
ing the weapon from view he advanced
casually upon the man and suddenly
thrust it against his face. The negro
put his hands up in the air with light
ning rapidity.
A loaded revolver was found In
Hathcock's pocket and a supply of
cartridges kept in a tin box in true
yegg -style to protect them from the
"wet. He was taken to the police sta
tion, where he said that he had come
to Portland from North Dakota about
four days ago and had been sleeping in
a room over Sam Washington's saloon,
corner of Park and Flanders streets.
He was unable to explain his presence
at the scene of his arrest. The police
are of the opinion that he had planned
a holdup last night. They also believe
that he has-been In the city longer
than he acknowledges and that he has
been guilty of some recent robberies
here. An investigation is now being
made.

APPEAL NOT TO BE STAY
BAR ASSOCIATION1 DRAFTS TWO
XKIV BILLS.
Meeting Held When Legislative
Committee Reports and Various
Measures Are Discussed.
Two new bills for presentation to the
Oregon Legislature in its next session
were brought before the Multnomah Bar
Association at its meeting last night.
One provides that when a criminal ap
peals to the Supreme Court It shall not
act as a stay of execution, except in cases
of murder in the first degree. In that
case the prisoner is to be taken to the
Penitentiary by the Sheriff as soon as
practicable after conviction. The other
proposed measure provides that in case
an accused criminal does not testify, the
fact may be commented upon by the
prosecuting attorney.
These two proposed bills were brought
before the Bar Association by Judge L.
R. Webster, one of the members of the
committee appointed at the last meet
ing of the association to propose new
legislation. The other members are
Charles H. Carey, W. W. Cotton. R. Q.
Morrow and Dan J. Malarkey. The bills
were referred to the legislative commit
tee, which Is to prune' them, and return
them to the association at the next meet
ing, ir it deems best.
ILast night's session was an adjourned
session. The next meeting will be held
December 29. It will be the last reg
ular meeting of the association before the
Legislature assembles.
As there is now no statute In Oregon
providing for the appointment of re
ceivers for defunct corporations, this
being done under the common law by
the courts of equity, a measure to pro
vide for it was discussed last night, and
will be drafted! for presentation at the
next meeting.
The legislative committee reported
favorably upon the measure changing the
method of selecting juries, and the pro
posed bill providing that the Judse shall,
at the request of attorneys, make- known
before the final arguments are made to
the Jury, what points of law will be in
cluded in his Instructions to the jury. If
the new jury selection bill is passed,
counsel will first challenge jurors for
cause. When the 12 have been made up
the plaintiff and defendant's attorneys
may use em many of their peremptory
challenges as they wish, when the first
process of passing or challenging for
cause will be repeated until the jury Is
made up. '
KNEW OF POISON POWDERS
Boas' Mother Says Wilson Tasted
Mixture Before Her Son.
" BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 15. The Inquest
to determine responsibility for the death
of Ham- J. Boas, the young electrician
who died after taking poisonous powders
sent him through the mall, was com
menced this morning. In tho custody
of detectives John Walter Wilson, the
friend and associate of the dead man,
now held as a ouspect, was present in the
chamber where the inquest was held.
Among the earlier witneesea were the
relatives of the dead man, Including his
aged mother, who several times gave
way to emotion while testifying. She de
clared vehemently that her son did not
commit suicide, and her testimony Indi
cated that Boas, on the night of his
death, was even more light-hearted than
ustial. While she was testifying to the
facts of a visit by Wilson, Mrs. Boaa was
overcome by her feelings, and said:
"Whoever did this, did his work well.
He took from me my only support. I
hope that whoever did it will have no
peace or rest on this earth!"
Both Mrs. Boas and her son, Martin
Boas, testified that Wilson knew that
the powders that killed Henry Boas con
tained some powerful drug, as he had told
both of them that he had tasted the
stuff which stiffened his jaws and made
him apprehensive of danger. But both said
did not tell Henry Boas of this, although
he knew It before the powders were taken
by the latter to his room.
