Cites City That Removed Tele graph Poles When Company Was Too Slow. EARTH SLIDE KILLS Tunnel Laborer Dead Two Weeks After Wedding. COMPANION BURIED, TOO Western Tnlon Reminded That Au thorities Have Power to Take Work Out of Their Hands. Bad Faith Believed. "I recall clearly that, at one time In J New York, when a company failed to ! comply with the ordinance requiring its j wires to be placed under ground and its poles to be removed, the Mayor ordered a force of men to do the work on behalf of the city." said Mayor Simon yester day, when asked regarding the situation in Portland as to the Western Union Telegraph Company. The corporation has failed to comply with the ordinance. and has asked of the Council an exten sion of six months in which to do it. ThU was cut to three months by request of the Mayor. j Mayor to Force Action. Mayor Simon did not say outright that he would take the action he said New York had taken, if the company here i falls to get its wires In the conduits by March 1. the date fixed by the Council at his request. He did Intimate strongly, however, that he would take action to force compliance with the ordinance. Superintendent Reed, of the Western ' Union Company, through whom the time extension was asked, told the Mayor ana members of the Council. Wednesday . morning, that he did not think thework ; could be begun within 30 days, as re quired by the amendment secured by . request of the Mayor, or that the work could be completed by March 1. "Superintendent Reed probably does not realize that the city has full power " to proceed with this work and put the ; wires of any corporation in conduits on , Its own behalf." said the Mayor. "It , would be hard for the company to do much business should the city take this ) step, and I hope that the company will 1 not delay this matter any longer, but I that it will ge to work on this and com ply with the ordinance." Bad Faith Believed. There is considerable feeling in official . circles that the Western Union officials j are not acting in good faith, as they have ' not begun the work necessary to put 1 their cables In the conduits, and admit- ! tedly have not the materials hand in i Portland with which to proceed. They ' have only two carloads of pipe, accord I lng to Superintendent Reed, with which 1 a vnrk AUTO CRUSHES WOMAN MRS. ADA M. BILLIXGS' IX- JVRIES PROBABIT FATAL. Twice Run Over by Taxlcab, Her Age, 7, Makes Recovery Ex tremely Doubtful. Mrs. Ada M. Billings, aged 67 years, wife of George W. Billings, sustained ser ious and perhaps fatal Injuries in a pe culiar automobile accident at Eleventh and Yamhill streets at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Billings lies In bed at the Westminster Apartments, 262 Sixth street, and her attending physicians, Drs. Rockey, Sabin and McKay, have grave doubts of her recovery- The aged woman was crossing the street on (her way to visit her daughter, Mrs. Blanche West, at Fifteenth and Morrison streets, when she was struck by a taxlcab belonging to the Portland Taxlcab Com pany, as she was emerging- from behind a passing streetcar. The wheels of the auto passed over Mrs. Billings, and it is sup posed the chauffeur then threw on the reverse, for the car immediately shot back and again ran over her. She was taken by several bystanders to a millinery store nearby and then con veyed In the taxlcab to her apartments. It was found by the physicians that two ribs were broken and that one punctured the light lung, causing it to be filled with blood and making the chances of re covery doubtful. "Besides the Injury to Mrs. Billings lungs and ribs, the crushing of the auto made her black and blue from head to foot, and may have caused Internal in juries which we have not discovered yet," said Dr. McKay last night. "Her aire is against her. Her condition Is ex tremely serious and she may not re cover. Men Thought to Have Struck Prop, Bringing Roof and Walls Down V pon Them Bride Does Xot Know. To meet death by an unexpected acci dent, two weeks after his marriage was the fate of N. Jonathan, laborer, em ployed by the Pacific Bridge Company, who, with M.

Both men were dead when dug out. The laborers were working in a narrow passageway, upheld by temporary props The props cave way and the earth fell upon them both from the sides and over head. It was' 1:15 o'clock when they were reached though every man em ployed on the works was engaged. The bodies were taken In charge by James J. Dunning, the Deputy Corone and taken to the morgue. It Is not known whether an Inquest will be held. An Investigation Is being made, how ever; and If It Is found the contractors were negligent In providing for the safety of the laborers, a Coroner's Jury will be asked to hold an inquiry. The opinion was voiced that one of the len must have struck one of the props and caused the entire Interior structure for several' feet each way to fall. Jonathan lived In Sellwood. He was married two weeks ago. His wife could not be found last night and will probably not know of her husband's death until today, as the contractors did not know the street end number of the Jonathan home.

That no bonds for the construction of a steel fireboat and reinforcing mains for the waterfront district will be sold. Is j evident from a statement made by Mayor I Simon yesterday. The City Council has started proceedings for such a sale, ag- 1 gregatlng J3.fl00. a resolution having been introduced Wednesday morning by j Councilman Annand. The Mayor referred 1 it to the committee on ways and means. "I am not In favor of selling any bonds unless it is absolutely necessary," said the Mayor yesterday. "We now have one good fireboat. and I am of the opin ion that this project does not come under the 'absolutely necessary' clause. I am not saying that it would not be nice to have another fireboat. but I make the claim that the city should proceed slowly, and I am opposed to Issuing any more bonds than are necessary to give efficient sen-Ice to the public." Mayor Simon has maintained the sams policy toward public expenditures since assuming office. When he took charge. a sale of bonds to the amount of $500,000, for the acquisition of parks and play grounds, was in sight, but he stopped it. He strongly favors small plots through ; out the city for playgrounds, and is lend- - lng his influence to that form of park at traction. "I have frequently said that I am ambi- tious to make Portland famous as the , city with the least bonded indebtedness.' I added the Mayor. "I want to keep down ! the public debt, and also to make provi sion for paying off the debt already con- , tracted. It is good policy, both for pri- ' vate and public life, to keep out of debt I when possible, and to get out as soon as ! possible if debt becomes necessary. I '. have followed this rule In my own per sonal affairs, and am applying the prac tice to city business. The resolution by Councilman Annand, , calling for the sale of the fireboat and i reinforcing main bonds, will be consid ered by the ways and means committee ; at Its next meeting. Councilman Devlin : is chairman of this committee. The ; Oouncll has power to sell the bonds, but ; Its authority is then at an end. as the act calling for the issue specifies the Ei ' ecutive Board as the agency by which the boat and mains shall be constructed 1 and Installed. This gives the Mayor ab solute control, and it is certain that. If It progresses to this stage, he will stop proceedings.
