JUDGE WEBSTER APPROVES
CASE BEFORE THREE JUDGES
Buit of California Barrel Company
Against Coopers Kcglns Today.
Sitting en banc, three of the Circuit
Court judges will today begrin hearing
testimony in the suit of the California
Barrel Company and Fred J. Kloster,
as trustee, against the Western Coop
erage Company and others. It is a
suit to restrain the issuance by the
defendant company of $600,000 Of bonds
on August 1, next.
The plaintiffs allege that the bonds
were voted illegally and aver that Wat
son Eastman, president of the defend
ant corporation, exercises an improper
influence over the majority of the
stockholders in that concern. The at
torneys for the plaintiffs are W. W.
Cotton. Campbell. Metson, Drew. Oat
man and Mackenzie, of San Francisco,
and James G. Wilson. The defendants
are represented by Carey & Kerr, Dan
J. Malarkey, and Chamberlain, Thomas
& Kraemer.
ways, which was set for today before
Judge Gatens, will probably go over
until the suit of the California Barrel
Company against the Western Coop
erage Company, which will begin this
morning, has been disposed of. In the
latter case, the three Judges will sit
en banc.
The suit against the United Rail
ways was brought by the people of
Linnton for the purpose of compelling
the railway company to give them a
live-cent fare between Portland and
Linnton. Under the present operation
of Its system, this corporation, they
aver, collects a fare of 10 cents each
way.
Official II poms Plan Necessary and
Inexpensive Joint Meeting to
Consider Project Soon Jail
Situation Part of Argument.
With the completion of the county's
modern hospital in South Portland,
about August 1, the practicability of
the institution being used jointly by
Multnomah County and the City of
Portland is being urged strongly. For
some time there has been developing a
sentiment which favors a more gen
eral co-operation between city and
county along such lines. With the ac
cession of Mayor Simon and a reor
ganized Council for the direction of
municipal affairs. It is considered more
than a possibility that the relations ',
between city and county will be more
mutual In the future than in the past.
The new county hospital Is located
on a part of what constituted the orig
inal W. Lair 11111 donation land claim
on Hooker street, between First and
Second streets. It will be ready for
occupancy in another month. The
palatial residence is being remodeled
into an ideal hospital, supplied with all
modern appointments. Including a com
plete surgical department. It will have
accommodations for about 100 patients.
"There is no reason why the city
and county each should maintain a
jail any more than that each should
have a separate hospital," said
a prominent county official yesterday.
"Of the taxes collected in Multnomah
County fully 90 per cent is contributed
by the residents of Portland. From this
money the people living outstde the
corporate limits of the city are get
ting the benefit of miles of Improved
roads constructed on approved modern
plans. Then why should not the city
have access to the county hospital
which Is being provided?
"By limiting the entrance qualifica
tions of persons applying for treat
ment .at this institution to those that
are really sick and are without funds
to take care of themselves, the new
county hospital will provide accommo
dations both for the city and the county
for some time. Por a long time there
has been imperative need for an emer
rency hospital in Portland for the re
ception and treatment of the Eick and
Injured. If the city would purchase
an automobile ambulance, as has been
suggested to the Council many times,
the new hospital, although not located,
right In the heart of the city, could'
answer the purposes of an emergency
hospital for the city besides furnishing
accommodations for the sick of the
county who cannot afford to care for
themselves."
County Judge Webster said yesterday
that na strongly favored some plan by
which, to some extent at least, the
present duplication in various depart
ments of the city and county govern
ments might be avoided. This he be
lieves can be done to the mutual ad
vantage of each through a practical
plan of co-wperatlon. While Judge
Webster said the question of the joint
use of the county hospital by the city
and county had not been discussed by
himself and the other members of the
County Court, there is considerable talk
that such a plan will be brought to
the consideration of the city and
county officials before many weeks
have passed.
Suit Before Federal Court.
The suit of John Welsh, adminis
trator of he estate of Michael Welsh,
deceased, against the Barber Asphalt
Company, was opened yesterday before
Judge Bean in the Federal Court. Mi
chael Welsh, an employe of the asphalt
company, died In December, 1907, from
injuries received by being caught in
the clutch of a hoisting apparatus
owned by the company. His adminis
trator is bringing suit for $7500 dam
ages, on account of the corporation's
alleged neglect in allowing the clutch
to be out of order and thereby causing
Welsh's death. After drawing a Jury,
court adjourned to enable the jurors
to inspect the plant of the defendant.
The case will be rseumed this morning
at 10 o'clock.
BATY RESIGNS AS HEAD
CAPTAIN OF CITY DETECTIVES
WOULD DOX UNIFORM.
His Action Is Climax of Rumors of
Many Police Changes
Programmed.
Rumors of proposed changes at police
headquarters, of heads that were to be
decapitated, of political veangeances that
were to be wreaked, came to a climax
Sunday and yesterday morning. Follow
ing the clash between Patrolman Clerk
Casey and his Captain, George H. Bailey
Sunday morning. Captain Baty appeared
in the office of Chief Cox yesterday
morning and asked that his resignation
as chief of detectives be accepted and
that he be returned to uniform.
According to Chief Cox, Baty's action
came to him as a surprise and he de
clared last night that if Captain Baty's
resignation resulted from any intima
tion of enforced resignation, it was tin
founded, as he did not contemplate any-
tning of the kind.
For some time reports have been cur
rent at headquarters that Captain Bailey
was scheduled to replace- Captain Baty
Captain Baty admitted that he had con
templated asking to be transferred and
said that his decision was made yester
day morning following the row between
Captain Bailey and Patrolman Casey. In
giving his resignation to Chief Cox he
stated there was no malice in his action,
but that matters had reached a point
where he could no longer remain in
his present position and enjoy any peace
oi mina.
Patrolman Circle was yesterdav as
signed to the desk occupied by Patrol
man Casey. Hereafter he will act as
Municipal Court bailiff and custodian of
the books of the department.
Captain Baty has been acting captain
or detectives since February, 1S08. At
that time he was a sergeant of detec
tives and was only made captain about
one month prior to the exit of the Lane
administration. Under the civil service
rules of the department he cannot be
reduced In rank and will. If hta request
Is granted, be transferred to one of the
reliefs. He regards the apparent enmity
of other members of the department as
resulting from the fact that he is con
sidered a creation of the Lane administration.

ALLEGED RELATIVES LOSE CASE
Judge Holds Kinship of Four to
Decedent Is Not Proved.
Judge Webster yesterday rendered a
decision holding that Frank Studars,
Minnie Vols. Daniel Studars and Mary
Helmllnger are not related to William
Studars, deceased, and consequently are
not entitled to share In the distribution
of the decedent's estate.
Studars disappeared from Portland
mysteriously in the Fall of 1887 and
has never been located. He was pos
sessed of real estate and personal
property of the value of $3500, which
made necessary the appointment of an
idtntnistrator for its management. This
appointment was made on October 15,
18S7. Subsequently the four persons
already named asserted their relation-
hlp to the deceased and applied for a
hare in the estate. After hearing tes
timony. Judge Webster has decided
against these claimants.
HIS LIFE DEEMED WORTH $9 7 5
Administrator to Collect Coin for
Death of E. II. Herget.
George Tazwell. administrator of the
estate of Einil H. Herget. has been
authorized by Judge Webster, in the
Probate Court, to accept $976 from the
Portland Gas Company In full settle
ment of the claims of the estate agatnBt
that corporation. While employed by
this company, Herget sustained Injuries
which resulted in his death.
The gas company was not regarded
responsible for Hergefs fatal Injuries,
but compromised the claim of the es
tate rather than resist the litigation
that was threatened.
FIVE-CENT FARE SUIT TO WAIT
Linnton Fight for Rate May Follow
Case Heard en Banc.
The mandamus suit of C. W. Watts
and others against the United Rail-
The Meier Frank Store's Expansion-Alteration Sale
& the Big Cloak and Suit Department Second Floor
1 I t ' vA -a! if .
Would Measure Supply Only of Big
Consumers, and Let Household
ers Use Plenty.
A meter system for all manufactur
ing establishments and all places where
unusual quantities of water are con
sumed, but none for the householder,
is quite likely to be the policy of the
present administration, as indicated
yesterday morning by Mayor Simon. It
is his opinion that this would be about
the proper means of adjusting the sale
of water by the city. A meeting of
the Water Board, scheduled for yes
terday, was postponed until 10:30 A. M.
today, at which time it is probable that
definite understanding as to the fu
ture of this matter will be had. Bids
for 6000 meters will be opened, and
upon this, the issue will be made.
"I do not like the Idea of a meter
system for the entire city." said Mayor
Simon. "It strikes me as too expen
sive of Installation, and I also dislike
the plan of metering the hnusehnirioF
We have plenty of water, and it seems
to me to be good policy to allow the
householder all that Is needed to keep
the lawns ' nice and green and make
the city more beautiful. I believe in
thus encouraging the people, and hard
ly think it would be justifiable to
meter every house, although possibly
I am wrong In my conclusions. I think
possibly it is best to meter the large
manufacturing establishments, for ex
ample, places where more than the
usual amount of water is consumed,
perhaps, should be on meter. It is a
matter of great importance, and the
Board will settle It as deemed best
when the proper time arrives."
Theodore B. Wilcox, a member of the
Water Board, was present at the last
meeting of the old Board, since which
time two of the former members have
resigned. Their places have been filled
by the appointment of J. C. Ainsworth
and W. B. Mackay, who will be pres
ent this morning for the first time
in their official capacity. R. B. Lam
son is the sole member holding over
from the Lane regime. He is heartily
favorable to a system for metering the
whole city, householders and all. Mr.
Wilcox, at the last session, expressed
himself as opposed to this on general
principles, saying that he would have
to be shown proof of its merits before
he would sanction the large outlay of
funds for Installation. The whole mat
ter wUl be gone over carefully today
but it is probable that a decision such
as indicated will be reached, and that
the bids for 6000 meters will be re
jected. It is virtually certain that the
Board will not buy so many, if any are
purchased.
A LOST ARTICLE.
The Rapidity With Which It Is Re
stored to the Rightful Owner.
In a city of a quarter million inhabi
tants one would naturally think that
to lose an article of value was to lose
it forever. Quite the contrary Is the
rule. The majority of articles lost are
returned through the agency of The
Oregonian's lost and found column

COUXCIX, INDORSES CKEMA
. TORI?.
When the ways and means com
mittee of the City Council met yes-
terday afternoon. Counoilman ' Devlin 1
being In the chair, the members ex
pressed their approval of Mayor
Simon's attitude regarding the crem
atory . and recommended that the
Council, at tomorrow's session, pass
a resolution granting full power to
the Board of Health to select a site.
While there is some difference of
opinion -as to where the plant should
be located, the, Councilmen . present
said they are willing to ' leave that
to the Judgment of the Mayor and
members of the - Board of Health,
The recommendation' of the ' com
mittee will undoubtedly be favor
ably acted upon by the Council.
Mayor Simon announced yesterday
morning- that he will ask the Board of
Health, which will meet in special ses
sion next Thursday, to authorize the
City Auditor to advertise for bids for
the installation of a modern, high
class 100-ton garbage burner, to be
erected and put into readiness for
operation at the earliest possible date.
It -will be built on the city's site, where
the present wornout Incinerator is lo
cated, the Mayor having settled that
point himself since he visited the place
last week. The matter of a second
plant, to be placed on the East Side,
win d taKen up later.
That the long-drawn-out contrbversy
as to where and how to build a crema
tory is -virtually settled by the action
or Mayor Simon, seems certain. He
has done more already toward secur
ing for the city an up-to-date plant for
the 'solution of the vexatious garbage
problem than the City Council and the
Lane administration did in the four
years of their power. They spent all
of the time wrangling over a Bite, but
the new Mayor decided that point in
less than half an hour when he went
to the crematory on Guilds Lake last
week and saw the awful conditions
that abound there.
"I shall request the Board of Health
to ask for bids for the Installation of
a 100-ton garbage burner." said Majfor
Simon yesterday. "I want to get this
problem out of the way at once, and
shall take vigorous action to that end.
While we are building a crematory, we
may as well put up a large one, which
will last this side of .the river, at least,
for years to come and take care of the
supply in first-class shape. As I view
it, the only thing to do Is to put up
this plant on the present site, near to
the old burner, and with a modern
establishment there, we wil be able to
care for the garbage very easily. There
will be far less objection to placing
it there than any other site we could
select. The whole thing Is in the
hands of the Board of Health, with
the exception of the site. I have al
ready settled that point for the one
on the West Side, and later we will
take up the proposition of erecting a
second plant somewhere on the East
Side."
Whether or not It will be necessary
to sell any or all of the bond issue of
$150,000 provided for the construction
of a crematory the Mayor cannot, as
yet, say, but it Is his purpose to avoid
this if at all possible. However, the
city wil get the crematory, and that
at a near date, unless all signs fall.
Upon this point the Mayor is deter
mined, and he will take whatever steps
are necessary.
