know that the O. R- N. must se
cure permission from the city before
it can build the steel bridge, and we
do not Intend to allow this until the
opposition of Sir. Klernan and the
railroad la withdrawn from the
Broadway bridge project.
Frank Klernan If Judge Munly or
anyone else says that I claim to or do
represent the railroad company," It Is
an Infamous He. for maltlcous pur
poses, and I don't care how strong
that is put. I will withdraw my suit
against the Broadway bridge when
the courts say so.
Mayor Simon 1 believe the Broad
way bridge project will proceed in
good order, and that no serious con
sequences will ensue as a result of
the litigation.
:
t
Threatening: to stop the proposed con
struction of the O. R. & X. Co.'s new
steel bridge across the Willamette Kiver
unless all opposition to the projected
Broadway high bridge is withdrawn at
once, a committee from the North East
Side Improvement Association, headed by
31. G. Munly, its president, paid a visit
to Mayor Simon yesterday afternoon to
enlist him In the fight. While declaring
himself willing to assist in every way
to facilitate construction of the Broad
way span, the Mayor refused to promise
to awing his official Influence with the
club in the effort to force the railroad of
ficials to "call off" the Injunction suit
against the Broadway project, filed by
Frank Kiernan.
Charges Are Slatle.
Judge Munly and the members of the
committee, composed of D. L. Povey and
State Senator Beach, accompanied by W.
, O. McPhereon and Councilman Menefee,
charged that Mr. Kiernan purports to
represent the O. R. & N. Co., and that
he is handling the case for that corpora
tion, actuated by his own personal mo
tives, to "kill" the Broadway bridge proj
ect. Acquisition of property in the vicin
; lty of the east approach to the proposed
: new steel bridge, was said by the commlt
' tee to be at the base of Mr. Klernan's
activity.
Mr. Klernan. when Informed of the
charges made by Judge Munly and mem
bers of the committee to the Mayor, un- t
hesitatingly declared that "it is a dellb-
: erate falsehood, a malicious lie, and I
don't care how strong you put it."
Judge Munly and the members of the
. committee were very much wrought up
when they entered the Mayor's office, and
were at first more Insistent than when
they left, as the Mayor feels that there
is no very serious obstacle ahead in tho
- Broadway project, although he is anxious
to proceed with the work as rapidly as
possible. He advised the employment of
. .special counsel to assist the City Attorney
In defending the suits that have been
filed, and he said that, following this
course, he believed everything will turn
out all right. ,
Judge Munly told the Mayor that the
North East Side Improvement Associa
tion and the people of the entire North
. East Side are "going to have the Broad
way bridge, or there will be no new steel
bridge."
"We know that the steel bridge is not
as good as built simply because the War
Department said that It is all right," de
clared Judge Munly. "We know that the
. O. R. & N. officials must seek permission
, from the city before they can proceed to
build that bridge, and we want the Mayor
; and Council to refuse this permission un
til the corporation calls oft Mr. Kler
nan's Injunction suit."
Case Slay Go to People.
"And If the city authorities refuse to
iielp us, we Intend to take the case to the
people," added Mr. Povey.
Mayor Simon explained to the commit
tee that, as the executive for all of the
people of the city. It would not be at all
possible for him to exert his official In
fluence to hold up construction of the pro
posed steel bridge, and that he would not
do so in any event. He volunteered to go
with the committee at the proper time to
seek of the presiding Circuit, Judge an
arly decision in the Klernan injunction
suit, and said he believed, in view of all
the circumstances, the court would gladly
grant this.
"I will say." stated Mr. Kiernan; "that
I will call off the injunction suit against
the Broadway bridge when the court tells
me I am wrong. It is untrue that I have
large property interests affected by the
uteel bridge, and I neither did nor could I
Influence the railroad company In select
ing the site for the new structure."
The suit of Kiernan against the city to
test the- validity of the bonds Is pending
in the Circuit Court. It is the belief of
Mayor Simon that this suit should be vig
orously contested and hurried, in order
that a decision may be had, and it is In
this manner that he offered to assist the
committee.
In an effort to secure assistance from
the O. R, A N. Co. officials, the committee
today will call upon General Manager
O'Brien, of the Harriman lines, and lay
their case before him. .

OLD GUARD AT REUNION
COMPANY G RECALLS SERVICE
IX CHINESE RIOTS.
Noteworthy Gathering; Is Reminis
cent of Days 'When. Members Were
Young and Gay.
With 'song, jest and reminiscence,
Portland's old Company G of the Oregon
National Guard last night became a vet
eran association. Occupying an unique
niche in the history of the Beaver State,
this body of militia of the days of yore
stands today as an exanjple to the studi
ous youth of the state. Organized 23
years ago by the then young men of the
city, the organization was mustered Into
the state defensive forces as Company
G. For many years that company held
annual promenades and served Ices to its
women friends. Under the leadership of
Captain R. E. Davis, it was twice called
upon for active sen-ice. first in the Chi
nese riots of 1885 and 11 years later the
fisheries dispute, which called the com
pany to Astoria.
During those years Company G was
largely a social organization, but when
the Spanish War broke out In 1895 it
became a part of the Second Oregon
Volunteers.
The Second Oregon was first in Guam,
first in the Philippines and first in
Manila. Company G at that time, be
came F Company. Many of its members
have since become eminent in the pro
fessions. One is superintendent of a
railroad, one has been Attorney-General
of the state, one Is a Judge of the Cir
cuit Court of Multnomah County, one has
been a Judge of the Municipal Court, one
Is a member of a leading mercantile
house in this city, four are cashiers of
banks in Portland, and in the State of
Washington many of the old boys of the
khaki uniform are forging ahead in so
cial, mercantile and political lines. Last
night 12 members now living in Wash
ington answered rollcall.
Company G ought to have a historian,
according to several members. Last night
Toastmaster C. W. Idleman said he could
recall nothing of its lstory except the
times he was. court-martialed for non-attendance.
An honored guest of the reunion was
Captain L. C. ' Farrar. who organized
the companv in 1883. Another was Judge
C. V. Gantenbeln. Both saw active serv
ice The feature of the banquet was the
singing of old songs by Harry W. Hogue
and Ralph K. Lee. In the early days of
18S6, the company gave a minstrel show
in the old Casino Theater, and at that
time those soloists sang respectively.
"The Fisherman and His Chee-lld" and
"Green Faces." They had to repeat those
songs last night.
It was decided by the 70 members or
the old guard present to hold an annual
reunion, and committees will soon be
appointed to carry that purpose into ef
fect. mayoresses help

Robertson Also to Be Charged
With Causing Death of
"Dolly" Ferrara.
CIVIL CASE, IS DEFENSE
Court Decjines to Take View That
Offense Is Only Trespass, for
Which Owner, V. M.
Ladd, Can Sue.
John Robertson, who was driving WlU
iarn M. Ladd's automobile after midnight
Sunday morning, September 13. when it
overturned at the gravel pit near the
Twelve-Mile House, and killed "Dolly
Ferrera, was placed on trial before a
Jury in Judge Cleland's department of the
Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The
charge in this case is grand larceny, for
the theft of the automobile and 14 gal
lons of gasoline, but a charge of man
slaughter for Mrs. Ferrera's death has
also been laid against Robertson.
Deputy District Attorney Vreeland and
"Attorneys John Stevenson and George J.
Perkins began the selection of the jury
yesterday morning. This was completed
soon after 3 o'clock. Seven witnesses
were examined, and the closing arguments
of the attorneys were nearly completed
before adjournment last night. Judge Cle
land will instruct the Jury this morning,
and an early verdict is looked for.
During the trial Robertson's aged moth
er, dressed in black, sat in the court
room. Defense Calls It Trespass.
A motlpn by Attorney Perkins, when
the state had completed Its testimony,
that the court direct the Jury to return
a verdict for the defendant because the
state had shown no criminal intent on
Robertson's part, was denied.
"This car was taken under the direct
supervision of Mr. Ladd's agent. Harry
Holland," said Perkins, "and the taking
amounts to nothing more than trespass,
for which Mr. Ladd may sue in the civil
court for damages."
Deputy Vreeland was on his feet In an
instant. "If, the contention of counsel is
correct," he said; "a property-owner must
hotfoot around the country looking for
his property. No man has a right to
take another's property without permis
sion. The criminal Intent is a question
for the Jury to pass upon."
Anna and Eva Meyer, two of the three
sisters who went on tie "joy ride," told
of being picked up by Robertson and Hol
land at Ninth and Everett streets. Eva
Meyer was asked by Deputy Vreeland
whether or not Robertson had any drinks
at the Twelve-Mile House, but the ques
tion was ruled out by the Judge.
"Whether Robertson drank or did not
drink has nothing to do with the theft of
this automobile," said the Judge, "but it
may be competent in the other case."
Ladd Refused Permission.
Holland testified that he asked Mr.
Ladd It he might take the car out that
night, arid that Mr. Ladd replied he
might need it, and that if he did it would
be embarrassing for him to find it gone.
"I told Mr. Ladd I would pay him for
the gasoline I used, and for the repairs
to the machine," said Holland. "I told
him I wanted to make the matter right
as soon, as I could. I didn't care much
about going that night, but Dolly wanted
to go."
The witness said that on previous oc
casions he had taken the car out without
consulting Mr. Ladd, that he never before
was forbidden positively to use it,
Robertson was grilled by Deputy Vree
land, who wanted to know whether his
own sense of propriety wouldn't tell him
a driver had no right to take a car out
for his own benefit. .
"If the owner objects to letting a car
go out, the night washer has a right to
refuse to let It go out," said Robertson.
In answer to another question the wit
ness said it was the custom for drivers
to take machines out for "joy rides."
Attorney Stevenson, in his argument
urged that - the taking of the machine
amounted to a breach of trust only, but
not to larceny. "Robertson did no wrong,"
he said. "He only accepted Holland's invl.
tation to take a spin."
"It made me nervous to think of the
narrow escape this man Thompson had,"
continued Stevenson, ironically. "I sup
pose if poor Dolly Ferrera were alive sha
would be here, too, charged with lar
ceny. If this is larceny, any man ac
cepting a ride in a buggy belonging to
someone else is guilty of larceny, any
bum stealing a ride on a freight train is
guilty of stealing the train, -and any
stowaway on a vessel is guilty of theft
of the vessel."
The Jury is: J. D. Nelr. G. Sieber,
Frank S. New, Fred H. Kramer. W. S.
McElwee, A. C. Pool, John Mackenzie,
H. P. Kimball. J. C. McNiven, John Mc
Grath, Robert Kennedy and Rudolph

Power Company to recover $1300 damages

POLICE, BY rSE OF LANTERNS,
FIND HIM UNDER DOCK.
Two Men Quarrel in Salmon-Street
Saloon, and One Receives Two .
Bullet Wounds.
An Italian shooting affray in the sa
loon of C. Battaglla, 230 Salmon street,
in which the features were a sensational
chase through the streets after- the man
who had done the shooting and a search
by the police with lanterns for nearly
three hours in the .dark corners under
the docks along the waterfront, occurred
yesterday afternoon. Constanzo Raffaele,
an Italian laborer 24 years old, was cap
tured by Detectives Price and Carpenter
and Patrolman Ellis under the warehouse
of BIssinger & Company, corner of Sal
mon and Front streets, after about 15
police officers had been engaged in the
hunt for a long time.
Pasquale Seraflno, the victim of the
affair, IS in St. Vincent's Hospital with
two wounds in his abodmen, which are
reported to be of superficial character.
Raffaele is being held' in the City Jail
awaiting a hearing in the Municipal
Court. .
Both men were laborers and had been
good friends. The version told by the
prisoner is that Serafino induced him to
go to The Dalles for a job and having
got there and found no work, pawned
Raffaele's ring for money, for their meals.
On returning to Portland they met in
the lunchroom in the rear of the saloon.
Upon demanding his ring of Serafino, the
latter refused to return it and after some
words, threatened Raffaele with a knife,
upon which he drew, a revolver and fired.
This story is contradicted by a woman
working in the kitchen of the lunchroom,
who says that, the men got into a quarrel
over money spent for drinks.
Brave Hospital Nurse
Flees From Echo
SI1I Kla;ht Watches" Rudely Bro
ken at St. Vincent's Hospital When
Lone "Drunk" "Marks Time.
EARLY in the dim watches of yester
day morning a nurse paced her
rounds at St. Vincent's Hospital. Not a
shrill, noisy bell disturbed the silence,
whereat the nurse was greatly- pleased.
EVen the fever patients had not to be
sponged, and the man with a sore" toe
who was always howling for a hypo
dermic to put him to sleep was actually
snoring.
Suddenly there came in the dimly light
ed hall" an echo of the nurse's footsteps.
There could be no question that someone
was following. .And he, she or it must
be in the hall.
It was almost with a shudder that the
nurse thought of "it," for no one could be
seen along the long corridor, yet every
step she took was echoed.
Was this some more of the Harps boy
disturbances? she asked herself with a
shudder. She had been reading of the
wonders that youngster was reputed to
have performed and a kind of uncanny
thrill went down her backbone.
"I must be brave," she said, half to
herself. Then she took another couple
of paces. . Tramp, tramp, came the un
earthly echo.
That was Just enough. The young
nurse's nerve broke and she fled.. Re
turning with another nurse, the echo was
on a vacation and she plucked up cour
age again. - -
Alone, she heard the echo again, and
Just as she was on the verge of collapse
happened along a house doctor, who un
dertook to investigate the strange
"echo."
In the corner of the passage he found
an old. man drunk who had somehow
got into the hospital prior to the closing
of the outer door. He was an ex
soldler, and hearing the occasional
tramp, had "believed he had to "mark
time." Each time he was just a moment
late and this was why the strange, per
verse "echo" nearly frightened the un
lucky night nurse out of the wits she
possessed.
GOOD THINGS IN
PORTLAND MARKETS
BY LILIAN1 TINGLE.
THE markets all have a festive air
that says: "Thanksgiving is
coming," although the real holiday dis
play Is not yet ready. The turkey
question Is -an important one, but re
ports as to probable Thanksgiving;
prices are decidedly contradictory.
In the meantime first-grade birds
are a trifle" more costly than they
were last week, 30 cents a pound being:
the price now obtained. Ducks, as
well as turkeys, are much in evidence
at present. Tame ducks are somewhat
higher in price and cost about 30 cents
a pound. Tou may have canvasback
ducks, for $1.25', teal for 50 cents,
widgepn for 75 cents, and mallards for
1 each. Chickens remain about the
same price as last week. There are
fine capons to be had at 30 cents a
pound. Ordinary geese cost about 20
cents a' pound, while the choice "stall
fed" kind bring 25 cents.
In the meat market there is a hol
iday display of "choice cuts" of all
kinds, and many "special lines" (or
should one say "links") of savory
sausage, and the select "interior parts"
that have been the delight of epicures

from the days of. the Roman Emperors.
There is a fairly-good supply of flsh
at present, but a greater variety, includ
ing Eastern flsh. Is expected for. next
week. Sturgeon is practically out of the
market now but shad is new this week.
Mussels are in again at 10 cents a pound.
Shrimps are scarcer, and cost 20 cents a
nound. Salmon roe sells at 10 'cents a
pound and frog-legs at 50 cents a dozen.
The list also includes striped bass at 26
cents, halibut, salmon, catfish, sole and
smelt at about 15 cents; torn-cod and
black cod at ,12 cents, flounder and
herring, 10 cents a pound.
Vegetables make quite an impressive
appearance at present, and most of them
are excellent in quality. Celery and
celerlac are particularly good. A rather
uncommon entree recently encountered is
creamed oysters, served in neatly-made
cups of delicately cooked celeriac instead
of the usual patty or timbale cases.
Endive is excellent Just now and makes
an ideal dinner salad, especially with
duck. Oyster plant is good and so is
spinach. Turnips, squash and onions put
themselves forward as "the real originals"
in Thanksgiving vegetables, while peas,
artichokes, eggplant and Brussels sprouts
pose as their rivals. New leeks and
curly kale offer an appropriate choice
for people of West or North British an
ccstry. New arrivals In the fruit department are
the- little tangerine oranges that are so
good for "flaming cocktails" or "fiery
salads." They cost about 30 cents a
dozen. The new season's dried fruits are
prominently displayed-figs, prunes, dates
and raisins being particularly attractive.
Raisins are comparatively cheap this year,
something to be thankful for in the face
of other rising prices. Nuts are a neces
sity for the holidays and are, shown in
all the usual varieties at 15. to 25 cents
a pound. Oregon chestnuts cost 20 cents
and Eastern chestnuts 40 cents a pound.
Apples are the most attractive of fruits
at this time. They cost J1.60 to $3.50 a
box according to kind, or 15 to 40 cents a
dozen. There are a few pears, peaches
and grapes still to be had. Cranberries
cost 12 to 15 cents and huckleberries
20 cents a quart. Pomegranates, pine
apples and large Japanese persimmons
also Rive variety to the fruit stands, and
may appear advantageously in artist c
holiday "center pieces," or the fruit
salads..

Little Vernon Parks, Homeless and
Almost Friendless, Finds He
' Is Not Forgotten.
Little Vernon Parks is happy.
That would not mean so much IT
young Vernon was not ill In bed with
a severe attack of typhoid fer, able
to eat but little, in pain and helpless,
but Just because these troubles are as
sailing him he is happier than ever
before. . .
The reason is that Vernon is home
less and almost friendjess. For some
little time he has been earning a liv
ing as dishwasher in a small diet
kitchen attached to one of the , wards
of the Good Samaritan Hospital and
although this ward is one of the oldest
and poorest in the building, it has
been Vernon's idea of heaven to be a
patient in it. ...
So when Vernon succumbed to an at
tack of typhoid, he was sent to one of
the bright new wards.
Not until then did the nurses know
that Vernon had no home, that no one
cared whether he lived or died and that
he had not a single living relative,
o far as he knew. ."No one cares one
little b't for me," he told thorn faintly.
Now there's a young millionaire,
debonnaire and handsome, in a room
not far from Vernon's ward, and, al
though that young millionaire is well
irVated. he Is positively neglected be-
