Captain North Declares Subject Was
Considered Fullj. Before Election.
Simon Says He Will Investi
gateTo SaTe Hie Aim.
Announcement In The Oregtonian yes
terday of possible changes in the type of
bridge projected for Broadway and Hoyt
streets across the Willamette River
created nothing short of a sensation
. throughout Portland, especially in the
northeast portion of the city, the sec
tion most vitally concerned. From all
parts of the city messages were received
by Mayor Simon. City Engineer Morris
end others, inquiring as to the probable
outcome. All questioners' were informed
by the Mayor that he will carry out the
wishes of the voters, expressed at the
pnlls last June, and that he will con
struct the Broadway span, but that he
proposes to "go slow." and that, if he
can build one for J1.0on.ono and thereby
tav an equal sum. he will do so.
No changes in the projected type, how
ever, will be tolerated for a moment by
the Northeast Side Improvement Asso
ciation., according to Vice-President
JCorth. '"Hp announced yesterday after
noon that he will call a special meeting
' of that organization next week to take
tome action looking toward the speedy
construction of Identically the same kind
of span ordered at the polls last June,
irrespective of the opinion of City En
gineer Morris or anyone Vise that one
equally as good can be built for half the
amount of money.
"There is no. use in talking about an
other type of bridge." declared Captain
t North. -It will not do: we went into the
subject fully before submitting it to the
people, and we know all about the ins
and outs of the proposition. We have
simply got to have that high bridge, and
we want it quick. The Impression is
abroad in Northeast Portland that it is
the Intention of -some people to dilly
dally along until the O. R. & N. finishes
it's new steel hridg?. and that we will
then forgt the high bridge. Now. tills
Is not going to hold, for we will keep
on until we get what the people au
thorized at the election.
"It has been argued." continued Cap
tain North, "that a bridge of the lift
draw type, on the same level as the
other bridges, will suffice, and be as
good as the high bridge for less money.
Why. it would cost more than $1,000,000
for approaches alone, if our original plan
is changed and the other kind built.
Besides, it would land people into the
Terminal yards, and there would be a
lot of people killed. I tell you, the peo
ple want what they voted for, and right
away.- As for the O. R. & N. bridge,
when that is completed, the East Side
will be so large that the Increased facil
ities will not be noticed."
"So far as I am concerned." said
Mayor Simon, "there is nothing to say
beyond that published in The Oregonlan
this morning. "If that bridge can be
. built for ll.floo.ooo. I will build it for
J1.00O.0. and keep the other half of the
fund in the treasury. As to a different
type of span. I will have that investi
gated. I never have intended to delay
the construction of the bridge, but I
will use business judgment in this, as In
all other public business, and if there is
any chance to save some money, I will
do it. The people need not be alarmed
about the matter, for it will receive due
attention and will be put forward as
fast as is consistent with good business
methods."
GIRL BLOCKS A SUICIDE
Osie Connor. 15, Wrests Pistol
From I'ncle and Poison Drops.
The story of a heroic young girl's
struggle with her uncle, who was trying
to kill Ihmself either by swallowing car
bolic acid or shooting himself with a re
volver, was brought out In the police
court yesterday. The case of Frank Mc
cormick, aeed 3S years, who lives with
his sister Mrs. Elzer Connor at 64 East
Kifty-fourth street, arrested by Patrol
man Sorenson on a charge of disorderly
conduct preferred by neighbors, showed
the girl's heroism.
Osie Connor, the 15-year-old daughter,
and her uncle were alone in the house
Wednesday night. She was aroused by
someone walking about in the dining
room and upon in estimation found her
uncle standing with a revolver in one
band, a bottle of poison In the other,
muttering to himseif incoherently. She
reached for the pistol and in doing so
knocked the drug to the floor. The strug
gle for possession of the revolver lasted
for more than an hour before a patrol
man, called by neighbors, arrived.
MeCormlck was given a 10-day sentence
on the rockplle. He had apparently en
tirely recovered from the mental de
rangement which prompted him to at
tempt suicide.

quired his wants.
"I have a warrant here for the ar
rest of W. C. Noon. Are you the man?"
said Ackirman.

JURY IS ASSAILED
Mrs. Collins' Counsel Calls
County Body Incompetent.
MOTION TO DISMISS FILED
DemurVer to Be Argued September
7 Attorney Sewall Declares In
vestigators of Murder Probed
Without Lejjal , Authority.
That the last county grand Jury was
Incompetent and acting without legal
authority is the charge made by
Attorney Russell E. Sewall in a motion
to set aside the indictment which
charges Mrs. Kate M. Collins with the
murder of her young husband. Dr. Roy
A. Miles Collins. The motion, and a
demurrer to the indictment, were filed
In the Circuit Court late yesterday af
ternoon. The filing of these papers
took the place of Mrs. Collins' personal
appearance In court.
-Attorney Sewall arranged with the
District Attorney to hear the demurrer
and motion on September 7, the open
ing day of the September court term.
After they are disposed of Mrs. Collins
will be obliged to appear in court
again personally. In the meantime she
is under a physician's care at Crystal
Springs Sanatorium. Mount Tabor, al
though technically in the custody of
Sheriff Stevens.
That the grand Jury- had no author
ity to inquire into the murder of Dr.
Collins is the allegation of the de
murrer. It also asserted that the in
dictment does not conform to the re
quirements or me criminal coue, una
that it does not state facts sufficient
to constitute a crime under the Oregon
statutes.
Besides alleging that the grand jury
was illegal and incompetent, the mo
tion to set aside the Indictment avers
that the court has no jurisdiction over
the case. These allegations are made
In face of the fact that the woman
was examined by County Judge Web
ster and several physicians and found
to be sane.

WATCH AND RINGS IN DOG
Canine Coughs Up Jewelry Believed
to Have Been Stolen.
A white bull dog with a penchant for
swallowing everything small enough,
cheated a Portland burglar out of a
rich haul Tuesday and saved its mis
tress four diamond rings and a gold
watch. This fact came to light Wed
nesday when a veterinary surgeon was
called to examine, the. dog, known as
"Kazooks." which was acting strangely
as if suffering from an. internal .disor
der. The surgeon, acting on the con
sent of eGorge W. Brothner, of 1897
East Forty-fifth street, North, owner
of the dog, gave him an emetic which
caused the canine to vomit, the missing
Jewelry coming to light.
The rings and watch were first
missed'When the family returned from
the circus Tuesday afternoon. The
house was in disorder and many bu
reau drawers throughout the residence
were operi, intimating that a burglar
had ransacked the home. The police
were not notified of the supposed bur
glary, however. "Kazooks" has entire
ly recovered his hazardous experience
and is now more than ever the prize
of the Brothner household.

Court Takes Steps to Protect
County in Poorfarm Suit.
DEFENDANTS FILE ANSWER
General Denial Entered to . State
ments In Complaint of Frank
Boll am Spanton and Associ
ates Ask Dismissal of Suit.
The County Court will apply to Presid
ing Circuit Judge Bronaugh today for an
order compelling Frank: Bollam to give
an increased bond to insure the county
against damage on account of the delay
occasioned by the suit over the County
poorfarm. Bollam's bond is now J1000.
The defendants In the suit, represented
by Attorneys M. L. Pipes, R. C. Nelson,
filed their answer yesterday, . In , which
they deny any attempt to prevent com
petitive bidding for the farm. As evi
dence of their contention they call at
tention to the fact that B. M. Lombard
put In a bid for J141.4O0.
W. A. Spanton, one of the parties de
fendant, says that it was his intention
to plat fhe farm and place it on the
market, but that in order to finance his I
plan it was necessary for him t interest j
third partles. He says he interested I
Lombard. Fred A. Jacobs, D. E. Keasey
and H. R. Reynolds after the bids were I
opened by the commissioners. They j
agreed, he says, to tlie formation of a
corporation in which each would own an !
equal number of shares. But Keasey, it
is alleged, failed to put up his $1000 in
time to make the J5000 deposit, so the
other four advanced it. Lombard and
Jacobs then refused to join In the cor
poration scheme, so Spanton and Rey
nolds incorporated as the United States
.Trust Company. '
Spanton says he assigned to the cor
poration on July 17 his interest in the con
tract, and that on August 17 he offered
the county J3O.C0O and $150 interest as
the second payment", as well as a mort
gage for the balance of the $154,000 pur
chase price. The defendants ask that
Bollam's suit be dismissed.

In the absence of the family, fire at
S:30 o'clock last night burned to the
ground the bungalowof Robert B. Pal
mer on Reservoir avenue between
Powell Valley road and the Section Line j
road, near Laurelwood. A piano and the
furniture from one bedroom were re
moved from the eight-room building by
neighbors. It is estimated that the loss
will amount to $3500. The Sellwood 'fire
department made a run to the scene, but
arrived too late to save the structure.

KODOL WORKS

in Cases of Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.
Undigested food is a dead weight on
the stomach. You must get rid .of it if
you want to feel good. Don't get rid
of it by purging, for In that way the
needed nourishment is lost. Remove
the weight by helping the stomach
digest the food. The greatest help
known to science is Kodol because it
digests all the food at all times, and
under all Conditions. Every' table
spoonful of Kodol digests J '4 pounds
of food. Kodol is a scientific prepara
tion, pleasant to take, and is a liquid.
It must be a liquid, because some ele
ments for perfect digestion must go in
liquid form.
Pepsin digests some foods, but not
all foods. There is Pepsin in Kodol,
but we cannot depend alone upon Pep
sin. We rely upon other Ingredients or
else digestion would not be complete.
Some preparations digest partly and
they are only part good. Kodol con
tains the natural digestive juices that
are found in a healthy stomach. It
digests as Nature digests. The pen
alty of Indigestion is nervous chronic
dyspepsia that leads to catarrh or can
cer of the stomach. Nearly all serious
diseases are traceable to Indigestion.
Help your stomach do its work. Give
it help at once. Our Guarantee: Get
a bottle of Kodol. If you are not
benefited the druggist will at once
return your money. Don't hesitate;
any druggist will sell you Kodol on
these terms. The dollar bottle con
