Peter Johnson Must Pay for
Trampling Affections of
Elizabeth Bock.
JURY FIXES THE AMOUNT
Aged Loer Admits Promise to Wed,
Says lie Is Willing to Pay $500
and Hopes Jury Will Not Be
Too Severe Conrt News.
It cost Peter Johnson, Kast Side com
mission merchant, only $350 to get q0L
of the fourth affair which his tender
susceptibility to feminine charms had
Involved him. A Circuit Court Jury de
cided late yesterday afternoon that the
sum named was sufficient to compen
sate Kllzabeth Pock for her trampled
affictiors. -
When the case opened yesterday
morning there were many people on
hand epecting" to pee a wedding In
court, l-'or In their preliminary docu
ments In the fjOCO breach of promise
suit both had announced themselves as
willing to wed at any time.
Johnson, however, was not ready to
make Rood this proffer when the final
moment came and he came near to los
Insr his case riKht there, but he jtot
permlrston to make a showing- as to the
probaole amount of damages due the
woman In the case. Instead of a trial
or a wedding, the rase resolved Itself
Into an Inquiry as to the amount Mrs.
Bn-k should he able to collect.
Johnson admitted freely that he had
promised to marry me woman; that he
hac bought her a diamond and a seal
skin jaciuc and some other thing. Hut
he explained that he had exercised his
rig-ht of changing his mind. As to his
financial status, he declared he had
nothing and could pay no large Judg
ment should it he decreed against him.
He averred that his private fortune,
Urged by friends to run well Into five
figures. Is really represented by two
figures, and these with a decimal point
before tliem.
I've got only 35 cents to my name,
he .-aid.
Hope Verdict Will Not Kxeeed 8500
Nevertheless he was very anxious as
to what the verdict would be and said
he truly hoped the Jurors wouldn't go
over J."."'. He Is known to have said
he would not at all mind having to pay
up to J .".00.
Johnson, through B. S. Pague. his at
torney, .et out to make light of the
Utile flirtation with Mr.. Bock. Mr.
Pasue, in arguing to the Jury, recalled
his ov.-n early flirtations.
"Haven't we all had our little affairs
and our dozen sweethearts, all of
whom we were going to marry?" he In
quired of the J.iry. "We all have our
affinities as well as our wives most
of us have at least."
Circuit Judge Morrow here Interrupt
ed th: attorney to say he should not
gauge all. In such a sweeping way. by
his own private ideas and practices.
Pague coucluded hy saying that tech
nically Mrs. Itock was entitled to re
cover, hut he felt that the value of her
lost hopes was represented by a lone
dollar and he Insisted that she be
awarded no larger amount.
Ix2an Makes Serious Tlejily.
John I". Logan, on "behalf of Mrs.
Bo. k. replied feelingly to Pague. saying
It Is this "affinity" business that ruins
homes and causes crimes, and that It
should not he made light of. He said
that the settlement of this rase was of
wider application than would appear
that the giving of small damages might
rtcmp approval upon the practices of
deceivers.
"There is no fool like an old fool."
said Mr. liogan. indicating the SO-odd-year-old
defendant, -but now that he
has deceived this woman and blighted
her future are wo going to say 'Well
done thou good and noble servant; or
are we going to put the stamp of dis
approval upon such conduct?"
Judge Morrow's Instructions to the
Jury were very brief.
"This woman has been damaged. No
denial is made of a broken' contract.
The question for you to decide Is how
much she has coming." said the court.
He added that they might fix the
amount at anything from one cent to
lii'OO.
The Jury was back In half an hour
with its finding.

Goodson. the English pianist, who Is to
be heard here January x u u ma
sonic Te.mple Hall, as soloist at the first
Portland Symphony Orchestra concert,
possesses a head of hair that always
arouses the deepest admiration. Miss
Goodson tells an interesting story of the
heroic treatment which resulted in her
crowning glory.
As a child her hair was extremely thin.
While at lesson with Lschetizsky one
day the master. In one of his fretful
mooite, exclaimed: "You play like a
voting llonesw. Just as your hair looks."
The next day Miss Goodson appeared
with her locks, which she had worn
loosely over her shoulders. In the fashion
of English girls, cut close like a boy's.
The result was a double one. for not
only did it astound Ieschetlzsky at the
next lesson, -but within a few months
caused the hair to grow with the splen
did luxuriance that makes her at pres

In the matter of hair and as an artist.

.Electrical Plant.

Goes Step Farther Than Mayor and
Would Light Streets Besides Sell

Petitions Out Soon.
SPECIAL MEETTNO ON IJGHTINO.
Mayor Lane announced yesterday
afternoon that he had called a epo
clal meeting of the Exeoutlve BoanS
for tomorrow mot-ulna- at 8:80
o'clock, at which a report will be
received from the lighting cominlt
tM. It will be one of the most Impor
tant meetlnae of the Board ever
h.ld. It le anticipated that the
f Board1 wilt authorise the Mayor to
enter Into a contract with the Port
land Hallway. Light Power Com
pany to supply the publla at present
rates for a period not to exceed one
1 year. It la beHevea tnat some susu
aa adjustment will be made.
Dan J. Kellaher, ex-City Councilman
and State Senator-elect will soon begin
the circulation of an initiative petition
calling for a vote at the forthcoming
election for J2.000.000 worth of bonds
for the purpose of installing a modern
electric ligrhting system. Including g-en-..,r.F.
nimtn distributing system and
everything that goes to make up a
complete equipment. Mr. Kellaher is
even more enthusiastic for municipal
ownership of lighting than Mayor Lane,
as the- latter is contending only for
the city distributing feature at this
time.
"When the time comes in the, history
-.- n.h0n nnA lone comnanv has
the people by the neck, aa has the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com-
.. i. m hiffh time that some one
got busy and started a remedy." said
snnnton Kellaher yesterday, in discuss
ing the lighting problem. "WhyIt is
simply outrageous, the rates this com
pany is charging:, ot only tha city, but
everyone else. I know of instances
vhere merchants have literally oeen

commercial Dusiness, wu, win imvo
tendency to help some, ana x evm so-
tn nnt t-hA matter UO tO the DOODlO
an see what they think eJjout this
proposition."
Mr. Kellaher has long; oeen narwsins
the power company, and it was he who
recently Introduced an ordinance Into
the City Council providing for repeal
of the former ordinance passed by the
Council, authorizing, the Executive
Board to enter Into a three or five
year contract with the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company for city
lighting. The Council rejected the Kel
laher measure. Mr. Kellaher made no
reply at the time, but he has since been
preparing initiative petitions to circu
late, the question belns on the issue of
$2,000,000 bonds to build generating
plants, to Install a modern distributing
system and complete equipment for
lighting the city's streets, public build
ings and parks, and to sell electricity
for commercial purposes. In competition
with the established company.
Mayor Lane, who has been making a
fight for municipal ownership of the
city distributing system, has never as
much as suggested the erection of a
munle.lpally-owned generating plant
in
to cost such an enormous sum as Mr.
Kellaher's proposed amendment wm
call for. The Mayor has always, when
questioned aa to the expense, declared
that the city system could be installed
at a cost of not to exceed $300,000.
The difference between the methods
of Mayor Lane and Mr. Kellaher
appears to be that the former would
acquire municipal ownership step by
step, while Mr. Kellaher would com
plete the Job with one large bond Issue,
and have funds sufficient to start up
generating plants, as well as to have
charge of the lighting of streets and
public bulldlng-s. It Is believed that
the Mayor would be glad to see muni
cipal ownership as outlined oy Mr. Kella
her. but It Is thought that he decided
that the best way to proceed is by de
grees, first taking over the distributing
plant and securing current for the city
lighting by means of competitive bids,
and later, perhaps, making more exten
sive additions and gradually working
up to the complete municipal system
for both city and commercial purposes.
J'OSSELYX DISCCSSES FLAX
Says Experiment With City Lighting
Plant Would Prove Costly. .
That the city will find a municipal light
ing plan an expensive venture Is the
opinion of Benage S. Josselyn, president
of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company. When told yesterday that the
city contemplates a bond issue to erect
and equlf) a city power plant to light
the city streets, besides furnishing com
mercial current to whoever may want to
purchase it, he said the experiment of
other large cities along the same line
has been such as not to encourage Port
land to make the experiment.
"I think it would be a foolish thing
for the city to undertake In view of so
many failures along these lines In other
cities." said Mr. Josselyn. "The report
of the lighting committee of the Civic
League, St. Louis, which was on this
same subject, was made by men of well
known Integrity and business Judgment
and Is of so recent date that Portland can
well afford to adopt it as a report on the
situation here without going blindly Into
the matter, which Is certain to result in
disaster In face of such a report.
"The coet of producing electrical water
power in this country is no less than the
cost of producing electricity by steam
plants In the vicinity of St. Louis, whore
coal is so cheap. It is also safer to depend
on a supply that has several sources,
like ours, than to have eggs all In one
basket
"It would be IS months anyway before
a lighting plant could be built and
equipped. In the meantime does the city
propose to prostitute us in the interests
of competition or leave the city- in dark
ness? To my mind, this is only another
vagary among the many others that have
been put forward In this controversy.
Meanwhile, the Interest on the bills the
city owes us continues to mount up and
It Is now about $1200.
"In the report made by the St. Louis
committee on the subject of municipal
lighting plants, many valid objections
are found."
Mr. Josselyn furnished the following
extracts from the report:
The total cost of operating: a municipal
plant. If operated in a businesslike manner,
would be approximately 2 cents per kilo
watt hour, or about (09.00 per aro lamp per
year, and about (17.00 per incandescent
lamp p:r year.
But the danger of partisan polities In the
management and operation of the plant,
which tends to reduce Its efficiency and In
crease its cost. Indicates the lnadvisablllty
of municipal ownership exoept as a last
resort.
Municipal ownership in the place of public
franchise grants merely transfers the danger
of political mismanagement from the legis
lative body, which grants the franchise, to
the administrative ofiicials appointed by the
legislative body to operate the plant.
The economy of municipal operation and
Rnniml hn not vet been proven In this
country only two - of the first ten cities,
Chicago and Detroit, have attempted It.
Tin experience of these two cities is not
such as to warrant the statement that a
municipal plant would be more economical
than contract lighting.
In the opinion of the committee the con
ditions at the present time are unfavorabks
for the construction and operation of a mu
nicipal electric lighting plant for the light
ing of the streets of the city; and it be
lieves this function should not be undertaken
bv the municipality if reasonable rates and
aoiati. s.r'liiti ran be secured from pri
vate companies. However. Uki city should

Figures Cited Showing Rates in Var
ious Cities and That Local Hate
Is Very Low Unless 5-Tear
Contract, No New Arcs.
In the lighting controversy that is
raging between Mayor Lane and Presi
dent Benage Josselyn, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company, the
latter is determined that the company's
position shall be laid fully before he
public so that If the company Is obliged
to turn off the lights on the night of
January 10, the people may know why
the city is left in darkness. President
Josselyn hopes by making the position
of his company clear to escape the al
ternative of turning off the city lights.
If this Is done, the police believe
outlaws and criminals of all kinds can
ply their trade throughout the city
unmolested and raise havoc with citi
zens. Mr. Josselyn, in going into the
controversy yesterday said:
Section 6 of the present charter of the
Cltv of Portland reads aft follows:
"Section 6. The City of Portland is not
bound by any contract or Is in any way
liable thereon, unless the same Is authorited
by a city ordinance and made in writing, and
signed by the Auditor, Executive Board or
some other board, body, persons or person
In behalf of the city. But an ordinance may
authorize any board, officer or agent of the
city, designating euch board, body, officer or
agent to bind the city without a contract In
writing for the payment of any eum of
money not exceeding one hundred dollars."
Sectione 207 and 208 of the charter provide
that tbe Council may contract for lighting,
but such contract shall be by ordinance and
directing the Executive Board to enter Into
a contract ror ngntuig me city: tnereupon
the Executive Board Is to advertise for bids
for 6o days.
It Is our Interpretation of the charter that
the city cannot In any wine oe Douna to pay
for lighting unless It to by contract author
ized by ordinance, and further, under a con
tract made from bids. The above being the
case, wa do not see how tbe Executive Board
of the city, or any other body, officer or
agent, can Dino, tne city witnoui a cuiuiaci
for the pavment of any sum of money ex
ceeding llOo. A contract cannot be let un
less bid are advertised for 60 days.
The Executive Board has the bid of the
Portland Hallway, Light tt Power Company,
in accordance with the ordinance and char
ter, for a period of five years from January
1, 169. whloh has not been accepted nor
rejected and- le still operative If the Execu
tive Board wishea to act.
In order that the public may be fully ad
vlped. the company has. of Its own accord,
extended the time of making a new comract
until January 10, when, If a new contract
Is not made In accordance with the city
charter, the company will be compelled to
turn off the 'city lights.
The provisional price made this city for
street lighting i at the rate of S8 per are
lamp per year. It is interesting to note that
the rate maue per sre ituui m
City is $90 to $10O; Philadelphia, $U9.0: St.
Iouls $7.60: Boston. $124.10; Cleveland,
$f7.92: Cincinnati. $60; Baltimore, $6.49;
Pittsburg. $76; Washington, $85; Detroit,
$62.83; Buffalo, 66. The low rate In Buffalo
Is because power Is derived from Niagara
Falls, only ten miles distant. For the opera
tion of are lights In Portland, hewever. power
Is mainly generated at Cazadero. 40 miles
awav. The greater the distance from the point
of generation to the point of consumption,
the greater is the line-loss of electric cur
rent in transmission, which has to be over
come by a corresponding higher rate to the
consumer. N .....
It will be observed that the bid for elty
lighting made by the Portland Railway, Light
ft Power Company Is lower than that made
any of the other cities mentioned except
Buffalo and should work for a good opinion
of the low rate made by the local company.
It la understood that the gas company
would not bid on rlty lighting for a period
lees than ten years, because of the cost of
exterding gns mains, whereas the city char
ter only permits letting a city lighting con
tract for a period not exceeding live years.
Ti,. p,,-iqt.i TinUwuv. I.lirht & Power Com
pany, for the same reason, cannot enter Into J
a contract ror a penon oi icm iii.u 3
and Install acMHInnal street lamps, because
the cost of installing these lamps Is greater
than the rental for a period of two and one
half years. On a rive-year contract all new
lamps installed In the last two and one-half
years would be a direct loss to the company.
Inasmuch as requests are now In for about
1SS additional ic lamps. If we enter Into a
contract with the city for a periou of less
than five years, we could not Install any
additional lamps and: receive any return on
