ROW AT EXECUTIVE
BOARD MEETING
Curses Bandied and Threats
Made Over Rejection of
, Brooklyn Sewer.
MAYOR ESCAPES BLOWS
Contractor Gieblsch Calls H. M. Es
terly. Member of Board, "Grafter"
and "Hold-Up Man" Sewer
Inspectors Join in Wordy War.
Mayor Lane was threatened with
bodily Injury, H. M. Esterly, a member
of the Executive Board, was called a
"grafter" and "hold-up man" and un
printable language by the column was
ued during a general "rough house"
In the Council chambers at the close of
a meeting of the Executive Board at 7
o'clock last night. No such scene haa
ever been witnessed at the City Hall.
No blows were struck, but menacing
gestures were made and epithets of de
fiance hurled at the Mayor and members
of the Board by Anton Gieblsch, of ,he
firm of Paquet, Gieblsch & Joplln, build
ers of the Brooklyn sewer: by Assistant
City Engineer Jesse Hannam and by
Harry Ourr, an Inspector In the En
gineer's department. Quiet was finally
restored, no arrests being made, but the
matter may have a sequel later, all of
those engaging In the row being subject
to arrest for disorderly conduct and pro
fane and abusive language.
Ulebisch was wild with rage because
the Mayor and members of the Execu
tive Board have rejected the big Brook
lyn sewer, which is said t$ have taxed
the financial capacity of the contracting
' firm to the limit. He shook his fist In
Mr. Esterly's face, called him a vile
name and dared him to leave the Coun
cil chamber, threatening him with phy
sical violence. Mr. Esterly conducted
himself quietly, making no rough re
plies, but all the time endeavoring to
show Mr. Gieblsch that there is no use
in making such a rumpus over the
matter.
Turning to Mayor Lane, Mr. Gieblsch
charged that Mr. Esterly, before his ap
pointment to the Executive Board, "tried
to hold me up for a piece of money, but
I refused to give it, and now he is taking
out his grudge on me. He is a grafter,
a hold-up man and worse."
Mayor Tries to Calm Row.
Mayor La"ne was engaged in an effort
to quiet the excited contractor and the
Inspectors employed on the sewer 1ob.
but with scarcely any success, and the
din grew louder. Policeman Carr, City
Hall officer, had gone off dutv two
t hours before and there was no patrol
man ac nana, or, in all probability,
some arrests would have resulted. All
nanns remained until thev exhausted
their vocabularies, after which they
wiinarew, vowing tnat they will have
redress for their alleged wrongs.
At one time it appeared as though
Mayor Lane would be assaulted by the
angry half-dozen men. who swarmed
about him. . When he was in a corner
of the room, some one called out
. loudlyi .
"Now, you've got htm In a corner
soak him.
No one. however, acted upon this ad
vice, and the trouble passed without
any physical violence being done.
1 will not accept the Brooklyn sewer.
with Its rotten defects, if all the con
tractors and inspectors on earth threaten
me. said Mayor Lane after the affair.
"I have demanded the facts in connec
tion witti this piece of work, and they
have not been forthcoming from the
office of the City Engineer; neither he
nor his inspectors would either accept
or reject the work. We have informa
tion that Justifies the board in refusing
to accept the sewer, and it will not be
accepted by me until it is put in proper
shape."
Mr. Esterly made no reply to the sen
sational cnarges hurled at him by Mr.
Gieblsch, except to say that Mr. Gie-
nison evidently rererred to a case In
court some months ago. wherein Mr
Esterly sued the contracting firm of
which Mr. Glebisch is a member. Mr.
Esterly acted as an attorney for a wom
an, wno alleged damages to her prop
erty resulting from the turning on of
water from the sewer. The case was
lost. Mr. Gieblsch alleges that Mr. Es
terly sought to "hold him up." using
the court proceedings as an excuse, and is
now reeking to hold up the sewer as a
means to "get even.
Taylor Gives List of Inspectors.
When the Executive Board was in ses
sion City Engineer Taylor fulfilled the
requirements of the board, which met
the previous day, by submitting a list
of the Inspectors of "his department who
had charge of the construction of the
Brooklyn sewer. They are Jesse A. Han-
nin. Harry Gurr. B. E. Trumr. and Ci. A
Wright. . The Inst named is not in the
service now. however. It was he who
first aroused the suspicions of Mayor
Lane. He told the Mayor one day that
thousands of soft brick were placed in
the walls of the sewer. The Mavor
soufrht to engage Wright to inspect tho
worn and to report the facts to him
offering him $2.50 a day from the private
iunrt set aside tor the use of the Mayor.
Alter tne talk with the Mayor regard
ing the sewer and as to it being in
spected. right did not report, and one
dy Mr. Esterly met him. Wright said
ne would not work for the sum stipu
lted by the Mayor, and when Mr. Es
terly t'old the Mayor the latter said to
offer Wright to a day anything to get
a correct report of the actual conditions
of the sewer. However, Wright refused
to act. and never did anything.
Being unable to secure any report tha
satisfied him the work on the sewer was
being properly executed, the Mayor and
jir. lsttriy. accompanied by City Engi
neer Taylor and Mr. Gieblsch. went
through the sewer. The result was the
rejection of the work, and also, as it
now appears, fhe discharge of the rep
resentatives of the City Engineer. All
were ordered to be suspended and charges
of incompetency preferred at yesterday's
board meeting. It was the unanimous
opinion of the Mayor and members that
all should be discharged. Mr. Hannan
sought fo refute the charge made against
him. but was silenced by the Mayor, and
the board refused to hear anything fur
ther, saying that the employes may state
their side before the proper authorities
when their cases are heard.
A BELIEF IN MIRACLES
This Writer Has No Troubles Upon
This Most Difficult Subject,
SPRINGFIELD. Or., June 22 (To the EM
1tor -tom articles regarding th inspira
tion or tn BiWe lately eem to the under
rnI to b amwhat larking the basis of
pound reason for ccnaiderinc it (the Bible)
spurious or fabulou.
,,Ln V nTmt P1. fw eonidr that the
Bible l a product of a Ions aerie of years
r acaa, running about 1600 years, aad proba
bly longer, as many consider the book of
Job the oldest and that it wu composed
very probably before the time of Mopes,
though not before the settlement of the Sy
rians or Arameans west of the Euphrates
River, which has been supposed 220O to 230O
B. C. Taking this latter date, we have 2300
or 2400 years as the length of time for the
composition of the Bible the fact that some
portions of the Bible may have been taken
from previous religious writings is no bar
to the inspiration- of it, at there may have
been additions of divine truth by revelation
as mankind became ready for It.
But has any one a real basts for the denial
of the miraculous? There are things in past
secular history which seem to partake of the
miraculous, for instance, the escape of Wash
ington's Army from Long Island after his
defeat, the defeat of Napoleon at "Waterloo.
The nw minute events often seem to ac
complish the most far-reaching effect..
It is readily to be seen that the Old and
New Testaments are written for different
purposes, or rather the one being the out
growth of the other. The old one was to give
forth rules for the government of man's
outer or social relations, the other, or New
Testament, was to show him truths for his
epi-ritual, internal or personal relations.
Hence history Is not brought into It as much
as In the Old Testament, as It is evident it
would have been confusing. Man as a rule
can consider or grasp only one thing at a
time. We are many-sided In a way, yet can
look but one way at a time. The attitude of
negation of the miraculous is absurd in con
sidering the idea of religion. No one would
believe in a religion without the miraculous.

Prosecutions by State Food Commis

in the State r ood and Dairy Commission
er s oince. bix samples were recently
.emeu into tne oince of the commls
Bioner which showed a great nereent
age of added water. Mr. Williamson
said that the milk Is so rich this weath
er that the dairymen can add a certain
amount of water and still keep within
the limits as required by law. If they
neglect to make a daily test of the
muK tney may add rather more than
the possible percentage, reducing the
solids In the milk immediately, which
makes them liable to punishment.
Comissioner Bailey and his-deputies
have all been absent for several davs.
so no action nas been taken as the
samples must be purchased by the com
missioner or one of his deputies from
tne dairyman or his delivery wagon, in
order to make action effective.
Mr. Williamson said that on the re

be opened against milkmen and anv
found negligent will be immediately pros

the Baptist convention at Portland, who

day that everything in Cuba now de

said. "I cannot criticise the actions of
the Government, for it is my home and
I must go back there to live, but we are
all hoping that the Government will
make good. We are most anxious Cuba
snail not revert back to the states, a:
there are enough troubles here
"Good sohools are there, but they are
not being as efficiently administered as
they might be.. We look for a change

Devlin, Who Is to Be Candidate tot
President of Body, Wanted Mas
ters Named Retiring Mem-.
bers Receive Bouquets.
By the election yesterday afternoon of
Kasper K. Kubli, of 916 Belmont street.
Sunnyside, to succeed Frank S. Bennett
as Councilman from the Eighth Ward, the
Devlin foroee in the City Council were
given a hard blow by tho Rushlight-
Baker faction. A struggle was on be
tween the two for supremacy, and both
desired to name the man for the place.
By a piece of strategy. Mr. Rushlight,
who is now president of the Council, suc
ceeded in lining up the vote for Mr. Kubll,
who was elected by nine votes, W. Y.
Masters receiving two. Frank Motter one.
and Joseph Beverage two. Mr. Kubli was
elected on the first ballot.
Immediately after his election. Mr. Ku
bli appeared, was introduced to Mayor
Lan and tho members of the Council,
was sworn in by city Auditor Barbur
and at once took his seat. He delivered
a brief speech, saying he will serve tho
city to the very best of his atrtlity. and
thanking the members of the Council for
their kindness in selecting him for the
place. It is understood that tho Devlin
candidate was Mr. Masters, and that the
latter, in all probability, would have been
chosen had tho election gone over one
session, as was attempted by the opposing
taction. jir. jjevnn, who is not yet a
member or the Council, but who was
elected at-large three weeks ago, was
present aunng tne balloting.
Devlin vs. Baker.
Mr. Devlin, it is reported in official cir
cles, aspires to be president of tho next
Council, and in Councilman Baker he has
a strong opponent. Mr. Baker feels "that
he should be given the honor of serving
in that capacity the next year, and in his
ambition ne nas with him Mr. Rushlight
wno engineered the coup of yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Rushlight conceived the
idea of inviting tho anti-Devlin contin
gent to luncheon at the Commercial Club
at noon, and it was while there that
caucus was held, Mr. Kubli being selected
ror the vacancy. All efforts of the op
position to break the combination after
the Council reconvened for the afternoon
session failed, and Mr. Kubli was elected
without a hitch. He is a prominent Elk,
has held important offices in that order
and is president of tho Kubli-MUler
Printing Company.
Councilman Bennett, whoso resignation
was accepted just before the election of
Mr. Kubli, will become Judge of the Mu
nicipal Court July 1. He went from tho
Council chambers into the Auditor's of
fice, where he was sworn In as Judee.
Mayor Lane and Councilman Vauehn.
Cottel, Heppner and Bennett, all of whom
are to retire July 1, were given tokens
of the esteem in which they are held at
tho City Hall by a large committee of
young women employed in various ca
pacities there. Choice carnations In bou
quets were given each member named
and George S. Shepherd, formerly & Coun
cilman, made appropriate presentation
speeches to each recipient. All expressed
their deep appreciation for the remem
brances, and regret at so soon leaving tho
city s oiriciai service.
Farewell Regrets Said.
Councilman Cottel said he is sorry to
leave tho Council although he has been
called everything since becoming a mem
ber, even a grafter and Democrat; Coun
cilman Heppner said he was greatly sur
prised to receive such a pretty token of
regard, but he was rather afraid to take
It nome; councilman Wills said he in
proud of his record; that he had done his
best ror tho city, and Councilman Vaughn
spoke similarly, as did also Mavor Lan.
"I thank you, one and all, for your
kindness to me; good-bye and good luck
to each of you," were the last words
spoken by Mayor Lane as, he left tho
chair as presiding officer for the last
time during the term of office.
Asido from routine business, little was
done during the afternoon session of the
council, nearly all of the time being de
voted to presentation of bouauets. with
tho speeches and responses. Councilman
neppner, who leaves the Council Julv l.
and who is serving out the unexpired term

making tho entire city a cement side

provisions. It was referred to the street
committee.
An ordinance, granting to D. L. Wil

Professor Alfred Battelll Tells
About Trip of Himself and
Fellow-Journalists.
Professor Alfred Battelll. New York
correspondent of La Trlbuna, of Rome,
and special correspondent of a number
of Italian papers in America, arrived in
Portland yesterday. Professor Battelll
said that with three companions he was
engaged in walking round the -world for a
prize of $80,000, offered by the Interna
tional Geographical Society.
His friends are all connected In some
way with the newspaper world. They are
Albert Wilckes. an American, writing
for tha New York American: Adolph
Schneider, correspondent for a Berlin
paper and German papers In this coun
try, and Silvio Ortonas. of Le Courier, of
Paris. They left New York In October
and seem well supplied with funds. . Mr.
Battelll said the idea of the trip was to
furnish data for a book to be printed in
four languages, narrating their travels
from the four standpoints of adventure.
Industrial conditions, science and politics.
Each is to handle one phase of the work.
Mr. Battelll believed the profits from the
book would mors than approximate the
J80.000 which he said the International
Society had offered for its completion.
The trip is being made on foot The
Frenchman and the American are travel
ing the southern route and will meet with
the others in San Francisco. January,

Philippines. In the meantime Mii Bat
telll will meet his German friend at Se
attle and together they will visit Alaska.
Mr. Battelll was heavily armed, wear-
ing a cartridge belt full of missiles, and
a large revolver. He said it'was neces
sary, owing to the undesirable friends he
met in the course of his travels.

Strong Healthy Women
If woman is strong and healthy in a womanly way, moth

in the fact that the many women suffer from weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organism and are unfitted
for motherhood. .This can be remedied. .

IF YOU EN JOT GOOD CLEAN HUMOR, IT WILL PAY
YOU TO BUY A COPY.
THE ANGEL CHILD, by Clinton Dangerlield. is .a de
lightfully humorous story or a bad little sjirl left in charge
of a group of distracted cowboys.
JUSTICE IJT HYLO, by Edith R. Mirrieless, is a bit of
genuine frontier humor that you will appreciate.
THE PROFESSOR'S FOURTH Is another story of the
well-worth-while kind.
Wm. Maxwell contributes a virile, blood-stirring war
poem entitled "BY COURT-MARTIAL."
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland, but now
the rabbi of the Free Synagogue in New York City, has
an article entitled "JUSTICE AND LAW." You cannot
read his eloquent plea for more justice ar.d less evasion of
the law without having higher conception of your duty as a
citizen.
The above are only a few of the many notable contribu
tions to the July number. Buy a copy and when you have
read it, send it to some Eastern friend.
