GRAND AVE. BAD FOR PARADE
Contractors Fall to Make Good Their
Promise to Pave It.
Nothing was done on Grand avenue
yesterday toward paving any part of
that thoroughfare. A representative of
the Hassam Paving Oompanv informed
V; A.m B'lnr- of the East Sid Business
Men s Club. Thursday night that gravel
would be delivered on the west side of
Grand avenue by cars from the Pacific
Company's dock and the work would be
rushed. This information was received
with much pleasure, as the line of march
for the children's parade in the Festival
was unsettled on account of the condi
tion of Grand avenue, but the contractors
failed to make good their announcement
M. M. Ringer, who is in charge of the
. parade, has marked out tentatively a line
of march forming on Bast Ninth and
Bumslde streets and marching down to
Grand avenue, and then north on Union
avenue, provided Grand avenue south of
Belmont street cannot be used which
now seems improbable. This would bring
the parade on both Grand and Union
t-wuie-- The Business Men's Club has
felt confident that Grand avenue would
do completed, Dut the members are not
daunted by the prospects and will mark
out a line of march that win k aa oat.
Isfactory as conditions will permit.
Work Is progressing on East Morrison
street between East Water street and
Union avenue, and it will be finished the
early part of next week.

Edwards Gets Eight Years for
Killing McGalliard.
HE ADMITS MANSLAUGHTER
Judge Bronaugh Pronounces Sen

Drops -Murder Charge Pris
oner Remanded to Custody.
Osborne Edwards, who shot and killed
Thomas J. McGalliard in a Sixth-street
rooming-house January 5. was sentenced
by Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh
yesterday afternoon to serve eight years
in the penitentiary. He was charged
with murder in the first degree, but
Mii Lena ZygewikL
pleaded guilty to manslaughter, the court
accepting his plea upon being informed
that the evidence was insufficient to show
premeditation.
Attorney John F. Logan, counsel for
Edwards, suggested when the plea was
entered that the court hear the evidence
In the case before passing sentence, but
it was agreed between the court, Mr.
Logan, Special Prosecutor Lester W.
Humphreys and Deputy District Attorney
Thad W. Vreeland yesterday afternoon
that the court would hear the statements
of the attorneys in the case In chambers
before passing sentence.
Attorney Logan told the court in cham
bers that Edwards went to MeGalliard's
rooming-house and asked for a young
woman, whereupon McGalliard took him
for a spy in the employ of the police,
knocked him down and kicked him, and
Edwards whipped out a revolver and shot
McGalliard. After the position of the
state had been stated the widow of the
dead man was called in, having been an
eyewitness of the affair. Edwards him
self also told the Judge about .the fight.
In passinir sentence the nnnrt .n.
"A plea of guilty of manslaughter has

of the opinion that the facts in the case
Justified the reception of the plea. I think

BIG SEWER NEEDED
Citizens Protest Against Delay
to Mayor Lane.
TAYLOR MUST ACT FIRST
Water Is Seeping Into Brooklyn Con-
duit and if Job Is Not Accepted
long Investigation Will
Probably Be Made.
A delegation from the Seventh Ward
Improvement League waited upon Mayor
Lane yesteiday afternoon, seeking infor
mation concerning the delay in the ac
ceptance of the hi Brooklyn sewer. Th
Mayor told the members of the committee
mai jny engineer Taylor has the matter
under consideration, and that the Execu
tive Board is awaiting a report from
him. Probably early next week Mr. Tay
lor will be able to make his recommenda
tions on the subject, it is said.
The sewer is one of the largest ever
built In Portland, and will Bene an im
mense district. Impatience at the long
delay in its completion and acceptance
is general among those vitally affected,
as danger and great Inconvenience, to
say nothing of expense, confronts them.
They believe that the sewer has been too
long in building and that unnecessary
delay is now being tolerated by the city
authorities.
Water i? very prevalent in the district
through which the sewer runs, and it
seeps through the rows of Belgian blocks
which form the bottom of the sewer. All
kinds of means have been employed to
stop this, but without avail. Mayor Lane
is now awaiting the report of Mr. Taylor,
which will then be. taken up in the regu
lar order of business and acted upon. If
Mr. Taylor accepts the work, it will very
likely be satisfactory to the sewer com
mittee of the Executive Board and to the
Mayor, but If it Is rejected, a long inves
tigation will probably follow.
.At the meeting of the Improvement
League Thursday night, in the hall on
Powell and Milwaukie streets. It was de
cided to make a vigorous demand that
steps be taken to get the sewer accepted
or rejected. R. H. Thomas, member of
the sewer committee, reported to the
meeting that apparently nothing was
being done about the matter. According
to the reports delay in acceptance is caus
ing great expense and trouble. New cess
pools are being built and others must be
built at heavy expense.
Tn the matter of parks for the Seventh
"ird. Chairman HIesland was authorized
to appoint a committee composed of one
member from each club to urge the Park
Board to select the tracts wanted and
then secure them.
Rev. Green C. Love, of the Mount Scott
district, addressed the club on the affairs
in that section, which is to become part
of the city July 1. He said that the peo
ple were preparing to do their part to
make Portland a city of 500,000 people in
1912.
