Get Together.

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. '

TENNYSON YET POPULAR
PROFESSOR GLEN" GIVES RECI
TAL, BEFORE WOMAN'S CLUB.
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 following women have been ap
pointed as a committee for the sale of
tickets for the educational loan benefit:
Mesdames Fear. Tichnor, Rushmore. Hu

GOOD THINGS IN
PORTLAND MARKETS
BY LILIAN TINGLE.
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

PORTLAND'S MILK

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

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.

Johnson, Watson and Elliott
Cases Cause New Rule
by City Attorney.
JOHNSON MAY LOSE PLACE
Chief of Police Threatens to Close

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

that prosecution by the city for viola
