10 BONDHOLDERS TO POOL INTERESTS Portlanders, Holding Omaha Telephone Securities Get Together. LOCAL INTERESTS LARGE Offices Opened in Chamber of Com merce Buildinjr Where Interested Persons Will Congregate, Working for Own Benefit. f Portland persons holding Omaha Inde lendent Telephone bonds will pool their securities In order best to protect their interests and enforce the most satisfac tory settlement possible. This action was decided upon at a recent meeting of these bondholders, when a committee of three was appointed to organize a pool and to make such disposition of the securities as should be directed b- a majority of those joining the movement. In accordance with this arrangement, an agreement has baen drafted in which tho holders of the bonds agree to pool their interests, assume, their proportion ate share of the expenses of conducting the negotiations, and share proportion ately in the proceeds of the aettlement. Committee Opens Office. The members of thte committee are: John Kiernan, chairman; J. O. Elrod and Kugene Cohn. Charles E. Rumelin is secretary of the committee. Chairman Kiernan has opened an office at 91 Third street, in the Chamber of Commerce building, where all bondholders are -ged to call and join the pool that is being formed. This action was authorised by unanimous vote at a meeting of about 200 of these bondholders. It is estimated that approximately $500, 000 of these securities are held by people throughout the Pacific Northwest. Secre tary Rumelin is In possession of a list of these bondholders, showing a total of J426.O00 of bonds that were delivered orig inally to . people in this territory. Not being very desirable property. It is re garded probable that the bulk of these bonds Is still held by the original pur chasers. - Under the agreement which Is being signed by the bondholders, the committee that has been appointed is known as the bond committee. It is authorized, when practicable, to co-operate with other hold ers of these securities residing at other points on the Pacific Coast, and to do what may be deemed most advisable in securing to the bondholders the most sat isfactory settlement. Regular quarterly meetings, as well as special meetings, of the committee and the bondholders are provided for when the bondholders are to be made acquaint ed with the negotiations and given an opportunity further to instruct the com mittee In its work. At these meetings every bondholder will be entitled to considera tion and votes in proportion to the par value of the bonds deposited with the committee. Co-operation Is Asked. "The members of the committee and other of the large bondholders are satis fled that the only way they can realize anything from their securities is through co-operation," said Mr. Rumelin yester day. "As we have been Informed con cerning the situation, the Omaha com pany issued $1,000,000 of bonds for the con struction of its plant. Of that Issue, ap proximately $300,000 are owned by people In the Pacific Northwest. Subsequent to this original bond Issue, the trustees of the Omaha concern certified to the Issu ance of an additional $900,000 of bonds. We are not advised what part of the lat ter issue has born disposed of, btit, as owners of the original Issue, we do not feel that we are responsible for the dobts of the contractors who Installed the plant. This indebtedness Is said to approximate $700,000. and It is this obligation which has placed the company In the condition it now is. "Mr. llArris. of the contracting com pany, has submitted a proposal to the bondholder, but It does not look good to us. He proposes that we surrender 50 per cent of our bonds, he to reorganize the company and Issue a par bond for the other 50 per cent. This proposal does not include any guaranty as to the bonds. In other words. It merely amounts to asking us to part with half of our bonds and take chances of getting anything at all out of the remaining one-half of our holdings." In view of the condition of things and the unattractive proposal of the con tracting firm, there Is a very general dis position on the part of the bondholders in this section to -pol their interests and take chances on obtaining an equitable settlement. To adopt the Harris plan. It Is figured, would amount to- giving away one-half of their holdings, and at the same time assume the risk of realizing nothing from the other half. The bondholders' agreement Is as fol lows:. Agreement Is Made Public. ' Wherwts, the undersigned are owners of certain bonds and stock Issued by the In dependent Telephone Company of Omaha, unit receivers' certificate for such ' bonds nrt stock, and It has become doubtful whet part of the obligations thereby created can he collected; therefore, for the protection of our respective Interests therein, we here by mutually agree each with the others who mign this agreement, as follows, towit: The committee of three elected by the bolder of such bonds and certificates, at their meeting held In Allsky Hall, Portland.

Portland Organization Enjoys Read ing From English Poet's Fa mous Production, "Maud." The recital from Tennyson's "Maud," given yesterday afternoon by Professor T. M. Glen, of the University of Oregon, before the Portland Woman's Club, was enthusiastically received by a large audi ence of club women and their guests. Professor Glen's sympathetic voice, round and true in tone, was heard to advantage in the 13 lyrics set to music by Arthur Somervel. "Birds In the High Hall Gar den" was one of the most charming songs of the series, receiving additional charm from the brilliant and yet delicate accompaniment of Mrs. Warren Thomas. At the business meetrng preceding tho recital, the philanthropic committee re ported arrangements completed for plac ing a patient in the Open-Air Sanitarium. Further plans were made for the dramatic entertainment to be given in February. It was announced that no programme will be given at the next meeting, December 24.

THE recent cold weather has affected the supply of certain sra- dainties, notably clams and'small fish; and prices are Inclined to be higher In several other lines, though tho general display is a fairly good one. Game is decidedly scarce. Few wild geese were seen, wild ducks cost 50 cents to $1 each, and snipe are 50 certts. Poultry is no cheaper, but some choice turkeys at 35 cents and fine, fat Christmas geese at 23 cents give promise of delicate feasting for those who are not obliged to count pennies per pound closely. Chickens cost 20 to 25 cents a pound and ducks 30 cents. Royal Chinook salmon and Columbia River smelt at Jl a pound certainly belong In the luxury class. Sea-bass and "strawberry" bass are new this week at 20 to 25 cents a pound. Crabs are scarce and so are shrimps, but there are fine prawns at 30 cents a pound. Black, bass and striped bass at 30 to 35 cents, halibut and salmon at about 13 cents and frozen flounders at 10 cents, complete the list of varieties available yesterday. There was a good supply of green vege tables and "roots." Cauliflower, chicory and giant green peppers were partlcularly attractive. Hothouse lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes did their best, with green peas and beans to confuse us as to the season. There were good watercress, head lettuce and celery for salads and some good looking artichokes, both the French and Jerusalem varieties. Apnles naturally lead In the fruit market., oranges and grapefruit being tjieir nearest rivals. The latter are par ticularly fine ' just now. just the thing for holiday cocktails and palate-clearing salads, and yet there Is one dietetic au thority -who denounces grapefruit as "an invention of the evil one." Evil or not, save some of the clear rinds for mar malade if you want an inexpensive break fast appetizer. Nuts and dried fruits make a special feature just now and can be had in quantities at advantageous prices. Persimmons are good at 5 cents each, cranberries cost 12i to 15 cents a quart and huckleberries 15 cents. Christmas cakes, both imported and do mestic, are pleasant reminders of our cos mopolitan tastes, and so are the Christ mas sausaijes. and holiday displays of foreign cheeso and smoked and salted fish with strange names and labels that are regularly welcomed Quests at this season. THE MORXTXG OliEGONIAX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1909. PORTLAND'S MILK E State Dairymen Pass Resolu tion Scoring City Or dinance. TUBERCULAR COWS TO DIE Oregon Association, After Spirited Discussion, Declares It Will Do All Possible to Stamp Out Dreaded Disease. ACTION OF DAIRY ASSOCIATION'. Condemned Portla-nd milk ordinance. Resolved to work for partial pay ment by the 1 state for cow con demned as having- tuberculosis. Resolved to ask Legislature for flCOO for aid in publishing- associa tion's annual report and as pay for premiums, and for $2000 for paying i association's dairy Inspector. tf Resolved to Improve quality of milk supply. Opposed change In present oleomar garine law. Condemned consumers for unsani tary handling: of milk. Re-elected K. L. Kent president, Carle Abrama secretary and elected M. S. Shrock and J. D. Mlckle first and second vice-preeidents, respective ly, of the association. Raised annual dues of members from 1 to 2. Spirited discussions concerning the tubercular cows, and their danger to humanity, resulted in the general agreement among the members of the Oregon State Dairymen's Association, which came- to a close late yesterday afternoon, that all possible efforts to stamp out the disease should be made. At the close of. the meeting a resolu tion was passed, however, condemning: the ordinance recently passed by the Portland City Council, which imposed strict regulations regarding- the milk supply of the city. Bisbop Stirs Vp Discussion. Efforts made by "William Bishop, a wealthy dairyman oC Chimacum, Wash., and a member of the Legislature of that state, to prove that "bovine tuber culosis is not transmissible to man," first stirred up the discussion on the matter, and after his statements were severely attacked, Mr. Bishop diplomat ically smoothed matters over by saying that his attitude has been misunder stood, and that he was in favor of dis posing of the tubercular cows. Mr. Bishop recited in detail a fight he had conducted In the Washington Legislature against a law to protect people from the possible effects of milk given by cows diseased with tuber culosis. He stated that in case it were true that cows spread the disease among people it would be a matter of easy proof, and that there never had been proof presented sufficient to show that the disease can be obtained by people through milk. When he had finished his talk. Dr. James Withycombe, director of the O"regon Experiment Station, and who served for nine years previously as State Veterinarian, jumped to his feet, and with some show of agitation, said: "Mr. President. I think that is the most dangerous speech ever delivered in this state, and I ask for 10 minutes, immedi ately after the noon recess, to reply to It." Dr. Withyeombe's request was granted, and while he announced - that lie meant nothing that would reflect In a personal way on Mr. Bishop, he attacked his theories with much vigor. Withycombe Makes Kcply. That the arguments against the theory of contagion from tubercular cows was so much "torn my rot." was Dr. Withy combe's assertion. He related how, as State Veterinarian, he had aided in hav ing lflO infected cows killed at one time, representing a big loss. . It was Dr. Withycombe's opinion that judgment and care should be exercised in. the destruction of afflicted cows, and that this should be left to the manage ment of conservative, efficient men. He recited one case that came to his atten tion in Portland of a child dying of tuberculosis, and it was found the family cow was suffering with the disease. He told of a case where a chicken cared for by a girl who died with tuberculosis had become Infected with the disease, and he also recited an incident In which the dis ease was transmitted from a woman to a pet lamb, a strange case, inasmuch as sheep are not subject to the disease, he explained. As a climax to his argument. Dr. Withy combe explained how much vital Interest it is to the dairymen from a financial standpoint to eradicate the disease, as its spread is sometimes rapid. E. L. Thompson, who conducts a "cer tified dairy" near Portland, read a paper showing the advantages of cleanly hand ling of milk. "The man who neglect or refuses to take warning for the good of his family is taking no more chances than the dairy man who neglects to quarantine the tu bercular or diseased cow to prevent the spread of disease among his healthy Jierd." said Mr. Thompson. "Authorities may differ as to the danger of the human family In the use of milk, but all author!, lies are agreed that it is contagious among cattle, and suctT'milk fed to pigs Infects them with tuberculosis-." Ordinance Is Denounced. Concerning the Portland ordinance gov erning the sale of milk In the city, the convention adopted the following resolu tion: - "vi'e cannot help but fear that the late ordinanoa passei by the City of Portland will fail In securing- the results hoped for. It is our judgment that the ordinance Is too severe and drastic for any movement to be along; the lines of development. The City of Portland should understand that the dairymen of our state are not com pelled to sell their milk in the citj-. We think that rh city and state boards of health have not only been unjust but unwise In the way they have conducted tlvelr cam paign for better milk. Not only that, but they have made statements to the world that the State of Oregon and the City of Portland have the foulest and worst milk supply of any state in the Union. FEW HERDS FREE OF DISEASE LAW GOND MNED Inspector Discovers Five Unaffected of 5 2 Tested. VAKTOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 10. (Spe cial.) That only five herds out of 52 tested for tuberculosis in Clark County are free from the disease, Is the state ment made today by Dr. J. H. Martin. Assistant State Veterinarian. The herds tested average 60 cattle each, making 2500 animals. Korty-seven herds are infected, the per- - . - . centage being from 2 to SO. Where dis ease was proved averaging 75 to SO per cent. Dr. Martin advised the men owning the animals to dispose of them and go out of the dairy business at least a year. In most Instances the men have signified their willingness to do so, and have stopped selling milk and cream. Some of the animals most advanced in disease have been killed. "One idea people have Is that tubercu losis is transmitted from the mother to the calf, but thijs Is untrue," said Dr. Martin. "A calf from a diseased cow, taken from her at once and raised on pure milk, will be as healthy as can be. Had it been left with the mother and fed on her milk. It undoubtedly would become diseased like the mother." Dr. J. H. Martin and Dr. C. E. Calkins have been making tests of the herds of t F. I,. Kent, President .of the Ore eon State Dairymen's Associa tion, Who Mas Been an Active Worker for Pore Milk. this county. While they have tested the cattle In 62 herds, there is still much work to be done here. CONLEY MAKING FIGHT ACCUSED OF SWINDLE IN CAN'. ADA, RESISTS EXTRADITION. Prisoner Denies He Is Member of Bogus Bookmakitig Gang Which "Worked" Olsen. In endeavoring to avoid a return to British Columbia, where he is charged with having obtained money under false pretenses, James H. Conley Is resorting to every means at his command. This morning his attorney,' John H. Stevenson, will ask Judge Wolverton, of the United States Court, to issue a writ of habeas corpus, commanding Marshal Reed to re lease Conley from the County Jail. Conley was recently held for extradi tion after a hearing before United States Commissioner Cannon, ajid the papers are now in the hands of the Secretary of State for approval. Evidence was submitted at the hearing to the effect that Conley joined J. W. Stanton and Harry Overton in a conspir acy to promote a bogus book on races. They operated at Vancouver, B. C, and are said to have Induced Lars Olson, a Swedish logger, to place a bet of $375 with their syndicate. It Is charged that they Issued Olson a racing ticket, but that they never really operated a book and that the money was divided between them as soon as it was received by the operators. Stanton and Overton were arrested and are said to have turned King's evidence, furnishing the affidavits against Conley. Conley' makes a defense that he wa3 not a party to the conspiracy, that Olson paid the money to Overton and received a ticket in the handwriting of Overton. Attorney Stevenson has also raised the point that he prisoner has a right under the Constitution to be confronted with his accusers, and that an extradition can not be legally authorized upon affidavits. JURY DISAGREES ON VINEGAR First Failure in 14 Months to Reach Verdict Recorded. Reporting that it was unable to reach a verdict, the jury in the United States Court, which has considered the evidence against the Ingham Vinegar Company, charged with a violation of the pure-food act, was discharged by Judge Wolverton yesterday morning. The defendant com pany is engaged in the manufacture of vinegar, which it advertises and soils as being made from pure apple cider. When seen after the conclusion of the trial. Attorney Ralph R. Duniway, who, with Otto J. Kraemer. defended the Ing ham Vinegar Company, said: "The Ingham Vinegar Company manu factures a pure apple cider vinegar, and was supported in this Craim -by the evi dence of Experts Laire and Zimmer, both of .whom have had large experience In the manufacture of vinegars. Dr. L. Vic toria Hampton, a well-known chemist of this city, made an analysis of this vine gar and pronounced it absolutely pure cider vinegar as advertised, and asserted on the witness-stand that It would pass every test prescribed by the Government. "Evidently the Jury were not all Im pressed with the acetate of lead test ap plied to our vinegar in the courtroom. In the first place, that test is iot conclusive in determining the purity of vinegar. It is only claimed to be a negative test. "The pure-food law is a very good statute when reasonably used, but it Is a statute which can do tho greatest harm to manufacturers and dealers in food products if It Is enforced unreasonably." It is probable that a second trial of the case will not be had before the first term of the United States Court in 1010. ITAUIAN WOULT RIGHT WRONG Supposed Demented Man Halted When He Tries to See Judge. Wrhen an excited Italian yesterday at tempted to secure a perwinal interview with Judge Wolverton of the United States District Court and was prevented by court bailiffs, it wa at first thought that an attempt on the life of the Oregon jurist was to have been made. Giving his name as Genovesio Cornilo the man car ried a newspaper with the name of Judge Wolverton written at the . bottom, and after wandering aimlessly around the cor ridors making inquiry for the judge, the Italian was directed to the office of Clerk Marsh, u Cornilo. stated in broken English that he had been unlawfully sent to tho State Asylum for the Insane from Astoria, and that he was merely seeking informa tion as 4o the course he should pursue to gain redres. . . As he seemed to be harmless Mr. Marsh directed Cornilo to the office of tho Dis trict Attorney for Multnomah County. Cornilo appears to be demented. "Saves shoes, keeps feet dry.

JOHNSON MAY LOSE PLACE Chief of Police Threatens to Close Cafe as Public Nuisance Con tentions of Attorney King on. Vagrancy Brushed Aside. City Attorney Kavanaugh has an nounced that In future radical meas ures will be taken with all criminal cases brought before the Municipal Judge. This announcement is the out growth of recent publicity given the delays in prosecution of Edward John son, keeper of the notorious Delmon ico Restaurant on Seventh street, and of Frank Watson, bunco man, and Ray Klliott, consort of a disorderly woman,' Both the latter were convicted of vagrancy in Municipal Court, but the City Attorney's office has been blamed for the cases being dropped there. In the case of Johnson, which has been continued many times. Chief of Police Cox said if the Circuit Court upheld the conviction of the Municipal Court he would at once take posses sion of the place and close it under the public nuisance provision of the state law. Attorneys representing offenders against the city ordinances will find in future, says Mr. Kavanaugh, that no delays will be granted unless there be special reasons which make dela.y unavoidable. In ordinary cases, un less postponement is ordered by the Judge, the representative of the city in court will insist on immediate trial. In connection with the Watson and Elliott cases It had been found that in important cases the city is greatly crippled by delay, for it cannot detain a witness, as can the state. Witnesses Must Be Held. To obviate this difficulty Mr. Kava naugh says he will confer with the District Attorney's office, and where the circumstances warrant the action, will request that some state charge be brought against a witness so that he may be held until after the case has been decided. Not satisfied with the result in the case of Elliott, who was dismissed by Judge Gatens because there was no prosecution against him, Mr. Kava naugh will have the case reopened, be lieving that the Circuit Court will per mit this upon the showing that Attor ney King failed to perfect his appeal before the Municipal Court In Elliott's case, as has been done in the Watson case. If this is permitted by the Circuit Court, Elliott will be rearrested, if found, upon a bench warrant and will be forced to serve out the remainder of his sentence on the rockpile, from which he was released upon the order f the Circuit Court. Apropos of this point. Attorney King threatens to prove by taking the case through the higher courts that the city ordinance under which Judge Ben nett sentences men to Imprisonment for vagrancy Is unconstitutional. In the corridor of the Municipal Court yesterday Attorney King at tacked" the ordinance on the ground that. the enforcement of city ordinances was a civil action and that , as the State Legislature had made no provis ion for imprisonment for vagrancy, the City Council had overstepped its authority by providing a punishment of Imprisonment. The contention of Attorney King is ridiculed, however, by City Attorney Kavanaugh, who says: Charter Gives Power Enough. "The city charter is a statute of the State of Oregon and if any of the statutes of the state conflict with the charter the charter takes precedence over all those enacted before the char ter. In the parts of the charter set ting forth the general corporate and governmental powers, the Legislature provides that the police powers shall be exercised to the same extent as EDWARDS FIVE FLAVORS 25c and 50c PACKAGES HIGHEST GRADE IMPORTED ASK YOUR GROCER I CEYLON 1 nmHTimfiDscomur PORTLAND 0KC60N.
