LAFFERTY ARGUES SETTLERS' CASE Intervenors in 0. & C. Land Grant Suit Say They Are Bona Fide Claimants. RIGHT TO TITLE IS GOOD Proceedings in Congress Covering Deliberations Over Original Issue Quoted to Show What Govern ment. Really Intended to Do. A. W. Lafferty, representing the inter veners in the suit of the Government against the Oregon & California Railroad Company, now be Ins heard before Judge Volverton, yesterday afternoon continued his argument in which he contended that the intervenors were bona fide settlers and had performed all the acts necessary to acquire title. Mr. Lafferty read at length from the proceedings in Congress regarding the land grant as showing that the decision of that body was that the land should be sold to actual settlers. Mr. Lafferty added that the preemtion and homestead laws were enacted as a means of enabling the Government to dispose of its. lands in small tracts to the citizens jOt the country who need land for homes, and for the purpose of en couraging immigration from the East to the West That was the character of the settlement which was contemplated in the railroad grants. The law originally only required that a man go out and settle on the land, without regard to the length of time of his residence. - Mr. Lafferty used" one of his clients who in 1870 settled upon a one-fourth sec tion granted to the railway as an illus tration of his contention that the client in question had the right to do so. Having complied with all the require ments of the law, his land could not be taken away from him by the qualified' grant to the railroad company; that no right of the United States and no right of any citizen can be granted to a cor poration or to anyone else. I have reached the conclusion," said Mr. Lafferty, "that Congress meant what It said when it provided that those lands should be sold to actual settlers, and that an actual settler meant a person actually occupying a given tract of land as his home. What Congress wanted was to get the land into private ownership, and to avoid land monopoly." Mr. Lafferty's closing remarks were de voted to a definition of the trusts created by land grants. He had not concluded his argument at 4 o'clock when court ad journed until 10 o'clock this morning. Townsend Ends Argument. The morning session of the Federal Court yesterday, was occupied by B. F. Townsend in concluding his argument in behalf of the Government, the same hav ing been continued from Thursday after noon. He proceeded with his presenta tion of the Government's side of the case by declaring that so far as he knew, the intervening settlers were acting in good faith in endeavoring to assert their legal rights; that Congress had directed the Attorney-General to bring the suit and had instructed the court to hear it, and if found that the terms of the grant had been violated, as charged, to enforce the penalties. Referring to Judge Fenton's assertion regarding the doctrine of laches, Mr. Townsend declared that the railroad's counsel was well aware that the doctrine did not apply to cases like the present one, and cited several cases in support of his position. There cannot be any such laches, according to Mr. Townsend. unless they are especially waived by Congress. Mr. Townsend finished his ar gument at 11 o'clock and was followed shortly after by Mr. Lafferty, represent ing the Intervening settlers. His opening remarks were devoted to a denial of Judge Fenton's intimation that his clients were merely interlopers, but said they were settlers, endeavoring to secure their rights independent of the work pursued by the Government. His argument was continued after the noon recess and was not completed when court adjourned at 4 o'clock. It will be resumed this morn ing at 10 o'clock. DR.

At the meeting of the Seventh Ward Improvement League Thursday night the relocation of the Courthouse was dis cussed. Many of the speakers favored the intiative submitting the matter to a vote of the people. John W. Campbell, of Sellwood, spoke against the measure saying: "I am aware that what I am about to say is not on the popular side of this subject before this meeting. I am op posed to locating the Courthouse on the East Side, and believe that should it be done it would result in very great extra cost to all citizens who have business with the departments in the building. It certainly would result in great loss of time in having: the Courthouse on the East Side with the other public buildings on the West. Side. It -would have to be built at about Holladay avenue. People of Sellwood and in all the suburbs would suffer great Inconvenience and several times the present expense. The suburbs are the places which would suffer the in convenience and the great expense. I cannot see that the location of the Court house on the East Side would even help that portion of the city. It might help the small section Immediately surround ing It, but outside of a small district it would not only not help, but. would be a serious inconvenience. Any one can figure out what the expense would be to have the public buildings scattered about. At present if one has business at the City Hall and the Courthouse he can transact both within a few minutes, but if the Courthouse were located on the East Side in Holladay Addition, he must make additional trips across the river. "There is another question and I am on the unpopular side of it. Consolidation was brought about largely on the argu ment that It would bring free bridges. It did. but removal of all tolls also resulted in business being transferred to the West Side. I believe that a small toll on the bridges would pay for- their repair and operation, and would help retain business on the East Side. It would be more effective In building up the East Side than the location of the Courthouse. That is my Judgment, although it is not the popular one." SALARIES TO BE ADJUSTED COUNCIL TO REVISE THE PAX SCHEDULES OF CITY. Inconsistency Said to Exist In Rate of Compensation Among Vari ous Departments. Much concern is felt in city official circles as to the probable outcome of a special . meeting of the committee on accounts and current expenses of- the City Council, which has been called- by Chairman Menefee for 2 o'clock next Tuesday afternoon. The committee has before it the task of revising the salary schedule of all city employes. Mayor Lane having called to the attention of the Council the fact that the pay is un equally distributed and unjust to some of the municipal servants. He said at the last session that some are receiving too much, some too little "and some should be kicked right out of office." Councilman Menefee, the chairman of the committee which has this task in hand, issued a call for the meeting and has requested City Auditor Barbur to have all of the heads of city departments present, and it seems probable that each will be asked to submit what they be lieve will be equitable salary schedules for their branches of the city govern ment. An effort Is to be made to har monize the p&y and to place the em ployes of the various departments on an equal footing, so that the salary per month will be rated on the ' basis of rank, term of service or some manner that is fair to all. There has never been any attempt by the Council to arrange an equitable sal ary schedule until this time. The em ployes of the several departments have come singly or In a body before the Council from time to time, often having no indorsement from their department chief for increased pay; but scarcely ever has the Council refused to grant the in crease sought. Political Influence is said to have cut a considerable figure in this, as it :s said that a Councilman does not care to incur the ill-will of any branch of the classified civil service lists. As a result of -the unsystematic in creases in pay, great injustice has been done to worthy employes, it is said. Some have not seen fit to lay their cases be fore the Council for an. Increase, and have never been granted an Increase for many years, while others' have gone be fore the Council several times, each time receiving their desired Increase in pay. DRINK RUINS POLITICIAN JOHX T. MATTIiER SEXTEXCED TO ROCKPILE. Was Prominent In Minneapolis Poll tics Five Years Ago, and Was Associate of Tom Taggart. John T. Mattler. prominent Jive years ago in Minneapolis politics and a former close associate of Tom Taggart. chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was sentenced to SO days at the rockpile by Municipal Judge Van Zante, yesterday forenoon, on a double charge of drunk enness and .begging. Mattler was operat ing under an assumed name and his identity would not have been known ex cept that he was recognized by Patrol man Riley, a former resident of Min neapolis. "Booze" is the magic word that ex plains the relationship between cause and effect in Mattler's case. Dabbling in politics, he tried to make a "good fel low" of himself, got the whisky habit, lost his position, his property and conse quently his nerve and here he is. His clothes weren't patched, but they needed it, a bath would help his general appear ance, while a haircut, some clean linen, a 'bar of soap and a shave would be' re quired to restore him to a condition fit ting him to face decent associates. Mattler hadn't anything much to say. He didn't put up any woeful plea. It was plain the man's nerve is gone com pletely and that he is a hopeless wan derer on the face of the earth, hounded by want and the burning thirst for whisky and the haunting memories of better days. He admitted the begging. But he had no excuse to offer. The proceedings did not even seem to interest him. He must have faced similar charges many times .before within the five years that have elapsed since he drank up his money and lost his friends, "auilty" was the only remark he had to make when the charge was read to him. by Municipal Clerk Milner. Riley said, after the ca.se had been dis posed of. that when he knew Mattler the man rode about In a carriage, and was very close to Taggart and other politi cians of note. At that time, the officer said. Mattler was reputed to be worth about J16.000, besides having a good in come and bright prospects.

EQUALS TRIP OF CAITHLOCK Record or 92 Days Was Set In 1879 by British Ship Machrihanisn Makes Same Time In 18 9C. Xews of Waterfront. t- '. S " record from Portland to the tinned Kingdom and smashing all rec ords but one during a period of 30 years. EQUALS SAILING RECORD BETWEEN COLUMBIA RIVER AND QUEENSTOWN. . V JJ- .y' y -w... .yC "V FRENCH the French bark Gael, Captain Savary. arrived out yesterday. The vessel passed Dungeness 91 days from the Columbia River and unless something out of the ordinary happens- she will arrive at Queenstown today, making the voyage from Portland to the Irish port of call in 02 days. The record for a fast passage to Europe was set in 1879. when the British ship uaumocn made the run from land to land On 89 days and had reported at Queenstown In 92 days after leaving the Columbia River. The passage which comes next in line is that of the British ship Maohrihanish, which was made in 1892. The records of the Caithloch and the Mtchrihanish are given by the Mer chants Exchange and are on file in that office. A copy of the log of the Machrl- Jianish is In possession of E. "W. Wright and furnishes come, interesting details of a record-breaking run around the Horn. According to-the log, the vessel set sail from the Columbia January 7. 1892, and on the first day out made 140 miles with fine weather. The next day there was rain and fog and only 84 miles were made. During the balance of the voyage the daily runs ranged from 60 miles to 270. The record run was made March 20 during a fair wind from the north east. On 40 days of the passage more than 200 miles dally were logged. Only on two days did the run drop to 60 miles, one at the beginning and one at the end of the route. It will be a matter of hours and minutes whether the Gael or Maohrihanish stands in second place. The Gael cleared from Portland on the last day in November with a cargo of 1,438,374 feet of lumber for the United Kingdom for orders. She crossed out over the Columbia River bar three days later and started on the record -tielng run for the United Kingdom. The Gael was built in 1901 and while never making a slow passage, this is her-first perform ance as a record sailing ship. She is a bark: in rig and Is as trim a craft as has entered the river. She is equipped with a donkey and all the modern ma chinery for sailing vessels. TEDDO TO SAIL- TOMORROW Steamship Will Carry Part Cargo of L-umber to Australia.
