Mayor Simon Vetoes New Or
dinance and Upholds Old.
REVENUE LOSS THE CAUSE
EiecntlT Teclares Adoption of Lat
est Law and Repeal of Other
Would Bar Collection of Li
censes The Veto Message.
Holding that ordinance No. 20,000,
pad by the City Council September
8, entitled "An Ordinance to License
Vehicles," and repealing ordinance No.
13,138, covering the same subject, will
materially reduce the revenue derived
from the licensing of vehicles, and
that by repealing ordinance 13.138 It
will be impossible to collect the li
censes due the City of Portland from
delinquents. Mayor Simon yesterday
vetoed the proposed law.
' The Mayor states that under the ex
isting ordinance there should be 116.743
due for the year 1909 from the licens
ing of vehicles, and the revenue that
could be derived from ordinance No.
20.000 is only 18955.
The Mayor's veto message to. the
Council is as follows:
This ordinance contemplate a complete
revision of the amount of licenses to be
paid hr the owner or owners of vehicles
In ue In this city and repeals ordinance No.
13.134. entitled. "An Ordinance to Ucenae
Vehicles." which Is the only ordinance under
whl-h licenses of this character fan ba col
lected I find upon examination of the records in
the Auditor's office that the amount of ve
hicle license collected for the year 107.
tinder the provisions of ordinance No. 13.
19 was S12.0&A.4.V On September 13. 1908.
the Council passed an ordinance. No. 17,414,
determining the amount of licenses to be
collected from the owner or orwnere of ve
hicles, and repealing ordinance No. 13 133.
The passage of this ordinance resulted in
litigation, and an Injunction restraining the
collection of the vehicle license, and a refer
endum upon the ordinance in question, the
passage of which by the Council was at the
last city election negatived and set aside. .
On account of the action Just referred to.
It Is Impossible to determine how much rev
enue could have been derived from vehicle
licenses for the year 9o9, the principal
part of the moneys collected subsequent to
the litigation having been refunded to the
parties paying the same.
After consultation with the Auditor and
from the best obtainable sources at our com
mand, we hare estimated that under the
existing ordinance. No. 13.139. the amount
of rerenue that shall be derived from ve
hicle license for the year 1900, Is about the
bm ab4 oould be derived from ordinance
No. 20.000. now returned to you for fur
ther consideration. Is about the sum of 8tS5.
During the present year. 1009. there has
been collected on account of vehicle licenses
but the sum of 81690.70. which. It must be
apparent. Is a very Insignificant sum. The
licenses so collected are baaed on ordinance
No. 13.188, the only license ordinance now
effective.
Am above stated, the amount of revenue
that would be derived from the ordinance
that has recently been passed by the City
Council (No. 2G.OOO) Is about 18955. and this
ordinance contemplates the payment of
Licenses by the owners. 'Of free .delivery
wagons who. In the past, have not been sub
jected to the payment of any license. It
will thus he apparent that the ordinance
under consideration 'materially reduces the
revenue derived from the licensing of ve
hicles. This Is a feature of the subject that
required earnest consideration aft the hands
of the Council.
There Is to my mind. ' howerer, s still
greater objection to ordinance No. 20.000.
The ordinance provides In section 8 for the
absolute repeal of or a in an oe ro. ib.iss.
which Is the ordinance now in effect, and
under which licenses are, and ' can be col
lected. There Is a large amount of rev
enue due' and payable to the City of Port
land from the owner or owners of vehicles
In usa In the City of PorUand in accordance
with No. IS. 133. By the repeal of ordi
nance No. 18,138 It will be Impossible to col
lect the licenses due the City of Portland
from delinquents.
BID AWARDED AFTER CUT
Barber Asphalt Company to Install
Main on' Hawthorne Aveirae.
OfK;ar Huber, of tJie Barter Aspbalt
Company, yesterday was awarded the
contract for- the construction of the water
main on Hawthorne arenue when he
agTeed to cut down his bid of $6625.69 to
or $350 lem than the first bid.
Hubers first bid was made at a session
of the Water Board a few days ago when
he said he would construct the sewer for
the actual cost of lat?)r and materials
with 10 per cent for profit added.
The Barber Asphalt Company filed a
contract to pave Hawthorne avenue for
HT8.O00. . In accordance with his . policy
to lay water mains before hard-surface
Improvements are made. Mayor Simon
refused to allow the company to go
ahead with the paving; until the water
main Is laid between East First and East
Twelfth streets on Hawthorne avenue.
After a request by Commissioner Wil
cox that the contractors' and Engineer
Clark's figures should be compared to
aee If they harmonized, the bid was laid
on the table while the estimates were
examined. The result was that Huber
admitted he had made a mistake amount
ing to 1166- Engineer Clark refused to
admit that his figures were too low, as
Intimated by Commissioner "Wilcox.

H0F1N, HER- SIGNAL
Affinity Won Husband's Auto,
Says Mrs. E. M. MendenhalL
SHE FILES LONG AFFIDAVIT
Harris Trunk Co. (or trunks and bage;
Attorney's Wife Makes Sensationa-l
Charges Against Him In Advance
of Fred Frederlckson's Sec
ond Suit for Divorce.
Mrs. Ellxa M-' Mendenhall has filed
In tha Circuit Court an affidavit to the
effect that she believes Fred Freder
ickson is about to' file a new divorce
suit against his wife, Maud Frederick
son, formerly Maud Cobb, which will
link the names of the Mendenhalls with
the Frederlckson family affairs.. Mrs.
Mendenhall previously . filed a di
vorce complaint In the Clroult . Court
against Attorney Ed C. Mendenhall.
Judge Bronaugh took under advise
ment yesterday morning a motion made
by Mrs. Mendenhall's attorney for $2000
suit money, $500 attorney's fees and
$150 a month alimony, after extended
arguments had been made. She de
clares her husband is well able to pay
these amounts, as he Is worth $200,000.
She says her Income is now only $17 a
month. Mendenhall states, however,
that his wife owns property worth
$25,000 and that he does not think he
should be required to pay her ali
mony until the oase Is decided.
CTiarges of a startling nature are
made by Mrs. Mendenhall against Mrs.
Frederlckson, whose husband unsuc
cessfully sought a divorce before Judge
Gantenbein last Friday. Mrs. Menden
hall alleges that the man with the 60
horsepower automobile which could
go 60 miles an hour, to which Freder
lcksen referred in his testimony, is her
husband. She says that the attorney
purchased the auto, a White Steamer,
while In the East, and traveled in it
through Illinois fcefore Maud Cobb was
married. Then she declares he shipped
It to Portland for the use of Maud
Cobb, who, Mrs. Mendenhall says. Is in
the habit of driving up to his office
and blowing the horn as a signal. Her
husband deceived her for a long time
as to the ownership of the maohlne,
she alleges.
Mrs. Mendenhall complains that lux
uries have been showered upon her
husband's alleged affinity, but that she
has been obliged to remain In two rear
rooms, while Mrs. Frederlckson's
mother and brothers live at the Men
denhall home. Her husband lived with
Maud Cobb, she says, while she was
in Los Angeles, until she discovered
the state of affairs and protested, when
Miss Cobb moved Into the next block.
Mrs. Mendenhall also accuses her
husband of having sold to himself
property of her father's estate at 68
and 70 First street and 32 Front street,
worth $50,000, paying $6500 for it.
The, lawyer on the other hand, de
clares that his wife held noisy dances
In the basement, and threatened to
publish scandalous stories about him if
he did not deed to her the property at
Sixth and Columbia streets. He also
accuses her of having threatened to
lay a trap for him if he did not pay
her $150 a month, and .with having
employed a detective named Cox, who
is said to have offered certain persons
a "chunk of money" for perjured tes
timony. Mendenhall has filed more
than 100 cancelled checks as evidence
of money he says he has expended for
bis wife.
BANK HEAD IS ARRESTED
L. O. Ralston Nabbed by Patrolman
Because Stable Is Unclean.
Li O. Ralston, president of the Ameri
can Bank & Trust Company was arrested
yesterday noon and was required to de
posit $20 cash ball to prevent his incar
ceration in the city prison. The arrest
arose from ths ownership by Mr. Ralston
of a stable on Kirgs Heights, which he
leased to Kneeland & Miller, teamsters
nd contractors. Many complaints had
been filed with the authorities by people
living In the vicinity who alleged ths
stable is unsanitary. (Notice was served
upon Mr. Ralston by patrolman Inskeep
dui tne conditions complained of not
having been remedied the patrolman
swore out a warrant in the Munloipal
Court and the banker was taken into
custody.
Mr. Ralston will be required to make
an appearance in the Police Court today
and explain why his stable was not kept
clean. He was amused over his arrest.
"If I had not had $20 in my pocket I
suppose they would have locked me up
In Jail." he said. "When the policeman
notified me about the stable I went to
see my tenants and told them they would
have to keep the place In the condition
prescribed by the officers. They promised
they would and I, supposing that it had
been done, gav tte matter no further
thought until the policeman came to ar
rest me."

PLAN BIG TOURNEY
Y. M. C. A. Basketball Meet
Will Be Held at Tacoma. .
NO LONG WINTER SCHEDULE
Championship of Pacific Northwest
to Be . Decided In Two Days.
Director Grllley Tells Re
mits of Conference.
Announcement of the schedule of Win
ter 6ports adopted by the Young Men's
Christian Associations of the Pacific
Northwest was made yesterday by A. M.
Grllley, physical director of the Portland
association, on his return from Ta'ooma
where he attended a conference of phy
slcal directors of this district. Arrange
ments were made for contests In several
branches of athletics which will decide
championships among the Pacific North
west Y. M. C. A's. Mr. Grtlley, as re
tiring president of the Physical Directors'
Association, presided at the conference.
Basketball competitions were put on a
new basis at the Tacoma conferenoe. In
stead of holding a series of games be-
twen ths various cities, extending
through the Winter, the championship
will be determined by a two-day tourna
ment to be held In . Tacoma February 18
and 19. It Is expected that Portland, Se
attle, Victoria and Vancouver, B. C, Ta
coma, Everett. North Yakima, Hoquiam
and Belllngham will enter basketball
teams and that all will compete In the
other sports scheduled for this Winter.
A basketball tournament is an entire
ly new thing on the Pacific Coast, al
though they have proven successful in
the Bast. If the results of the experi
ment this year are satisfactory, these
tournaments will probably become a
regular event. The new plan will elimi
nate much of the expense necessary to
carry out a series of games in which
long trips are necessary. Another ad
vantage is that the players will not have
to give up so much of their time to the
sport.
The Tacoma tournament will be on the
same plan as a tennis tournament. All
of the teams entered will meet, draw
places and carry out a schedule that will
definitely establish the championship.
The only event scheduled for this city
Is a championship aquatic meet to be
held In the new building of the local as
sociation January 22. This will be one
of the most Interesting competitions of
the Winter and all of the cities will have
teams entered. The list of events has
not been mad out but tha new swimming
tank offers ideal facilities for a meet of
this kind.
AnotheT feature that was outlined by
the directors of the Portland association
is a telegraphic Indoor track meet to be
held December 29. This will Inolude five
events, pole vault, running high Jump.
12-pound shot put, 120 and 440-yard potato
races. The results of each event will
be telegraphed from each association to
all of ths other cities 1n the league and
the championship determined.
Ths regular gymnasium meet will be
held this year at Taooma on Decem
ber 4. The Northwestern wrestling cham
pionships In the various classes will be
settled at a meet to be held in Seattle
March 19. In all of the competitions to
be held the Portland association from
Its large membership expeots to select
teams that will make strong bids for
first honors.
Outside the arranging" of athletic meets,
the physical directors took up muoh other
business at Tacoma, electing the fol
lowing officers: President, Harry Booth,
of Tacoma; vice-president, B. V. L. Wil
son, of Victoria; aeeietary and treasurer,
A. G. Donthltt, of Seattle. Several papers
were also read, including one on "Athle
tics," by Assistant Director Lee, of Port
land. Ths directors also provided for a cir
culating library of books pertaining ta
the work of the physical department, and
made arrangement for a newsletter to be
edited by President Booth.
