TO SAVE EXPENSE
Says Efficiency of Employes Is
One Esential to Public
Economy.
CIVIL PENSIONS MUST COME
Issue of Waterway Bonds Before
Work Begun Is Opposed Expects
Surplus at Close of Pres
ent Fiscal Year.
NF7W- HAVBS. Conn.. Dec. 14. Presi
dent Taft told the business men of Con
necticut many facts about Governmental
expenditures and revenue at the annual
banquet of the New Haven Chamber of
Commerce tonight, but as he did not be
gin to speak vintil 11:30 o'clock he was
unahla to !o more than touch upon some
of the problfms that are facing the
country before It was "time for him to
catch the Federal Express for Washing
ton. Five minutes after he had concluded
his speech he was aboard his train.
The banquet was as lively as a Tale
reunion affair. It brought together fully
lino men of business prominence In the
state. The President attended a meeting
of the Yale Corporation in the afternoon
and held a short reception before the
banquet.
So Bond: Till "Work Begun.
Mr. Taft In his addrees said that he
flt the occasion opportune to speak on
the auestlon as to whether we are to have
money enough to run the Government.
He told of cutting down estimates in de
partments over expenses of last year, and
bow the money is to be spent In the ex
pectation of having a surplus when ac
counts are balanced for the year.
lie explained the unexpected Increase
in the cost of the Panama Canal, touch
ing upon the need of waterways, but de
claring that he did not favor Issuance of
bonds before work Is begun nor forming
a "pot" Into which each section could dip
its hands. He did believe, he said, in
having waterway Improvements go ahead
without delay and as economically as pos
sible, and without waiting until political
expediency demanded.
Tho President said there wero many
ways of saving money, and one of these
was to Increase the efficiency of Gov
ernment employes. He said he' felt like
one crying in the wilderness to advo
cate civil pensions, but he believed the
time would come when the policy would
have to be adopted that the Government
could run Its business as It should be
run.
President Iladley, of Tale University,
said there were two sets of problems
with, which the Government had to deal,
those that should be decided by special
ists and. those that should be decided
by the people. Of the latter he In
1 stanced slavery, relations between the
'. ptate and Nation and the annexation of
the Philippines.
Subjects tor Experts to Handle.
, "But. he said,, "currency, taxation of
the railroads and the tariff require ex
pert advice if the Government Is going
to be more than a piece of wasteful
bungling."
Dr. Hadley said that what makes the
situation serious now Is that many pub
lic questions which have come Into the
foreground are not. of a kind foreseen
by the framers of the constitution. Those
questions need -the advice of specialists.
Turing to Mr. Taft. Dr. Hadley said:
"You, Mr. President, have made this
a cardinal principle in your policy. You
have demanded that the Legislature leave
to the courts those things which are
the courts, and that it should take the
advice of economic experts on those
things which economic experts alone can
decide."
WILL EXTEND CARLINE
South Mount Tabor Undertakes to
Extend Hawthorne-Avenue Track.
At the meeting of the South Mount
Tabor Improvement Club Monday night,
J. B. Rand presiding, it was decided to
undertake the extension of the Haw
thore aventie carllne, which now ends
nt East Sixtieth street and the Section
Line road, about one mile eastward.
Mr. Rand pointed out the necessity for
this extension, and said that it will
pay the property-owners to secure the
right of way, build the extension and
then turn it over to the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company for
operation. Br. Hamilton Meade, Ed
ward Peterson and B. F. Boone were ap
pointed to take the matter up with the
property-owners. No route was decid
ed on.
The club indorsed the proposed
streetcar mass meeting to be held in
Kast Portland shortly. A committee
was appointed to take up the improve
ment of the Section Line road and East
Sixtieth street with sidewalks, and also
a committee was appointed to ask for

meetings twice a month hereafter, the
first and third Mondays. The meeting
was the best the club has held.

BOLD THUG ROBS CAE
FACING VGLY GVS BARTENDER
GIVES OVER $7 5.
Harry Mord Gives Robber Chase
Through Streets, 'but Thiet Es
capes in Darkness .Near Armory.
The second daring holdup of its kind
within 24 hours, occurred shortly after
8 o'clock last night when a brazen
thug, with his face, hidden behind a
mask and with a drawn revolver, en
tered the Royal Cafe, 75 North Tenth
street, and compelled Harry Mord, the
bartender, to turn over 76 which was
locked in the cash register.
After carefully secreting the swag
in the pockets of his clothing, the in
truder backed away from his posi
tion behind the bar and darted from
the front door. Although Mord was
alone in the place during the occur
rence he undertook to capture the
robber. . The instant he realized that
he was out of the range of the hold
up's weapon, he dashed through a rear
door and gave chase to the fleet-footed
thief.
After a sprint extending over six
squares the fugitive was lost in the
darkness near the Armory. Mord
added another marathon and hurried
back to the scene of the holduo. The
police were notified and a detachment
of bluecoats was sent scurrying in all
directions. Plainclothesmen Long and
Montgomery picked up a suspect an
hour later which almost tallies with
the description furnished by Mord. The
prisoner is held for an Investigation.
Mord asserts that the robber who
commanded him to "throw up his
hands or be pumped full of lead" was
not more than 18 years old, and pos
sessed a decided "boyish" voice and
wore a brown checkered Overcoat with
a hat of a similar pattern.
- The police are Inclined to believe
that the perpetrator of last night's
robbery was the same Individual who
held up and robbed the "The Boss"
saloon at 101 North Front street and
secured but $6, exactly 24 hours be
fore. BANKS ACQUIRE WEALTH
REPORTS FOR OREGON SHOW
BIG INCREASE IN DEPOSITS.
Portland Holds Two-Thirds and
Makes Over Half Loans for
Whole State.
Stability of Portland banks is apparent
from a comparison of their standing on
November 16, with that of the total num
ber of banking; institutions of the state,
208 in all, on the same date, as reported
by State Bank Examiner Steel. These
figures show, that the aggregate of In
dividual deposits In all banks was J90,
048.749.72 and of that amount the 22 banks
of this citycontained 60,850.11.92, or two
thirds of the total deposits. The figures
compiled by Mr. Steel show that the in
crease in individual deposits in all banks
from November 27, 1308, to November 16,
1909, was $16,103,510.01.
Reports of the Portland Institutions
show that between September 1 and No
vember 16, this year, practically six
weeks, their net increase in deposits was
1.961,786.99.
The same flattering- showing is made by
Portland banks in the item of loans and
discounts. The aggregate of loans aid
discounts in all banks, November 16 last,
was $62,127,946.78. an Increase during the
year of 10.935.6S7.06. On the same date
the 23 Portland institutions carried loans
and discounts amounting to $33,601,359.32,
or over 50 per cent of the total, and an
increase of $4,099,287.06 over their report
on September 1 last.
On November 16 the banks of the state
had in cash on hand or due from banks
J38,808,059.93 or an increase during the
year of $8,313,027.57. Of that total the
banks of this city held $21,392,625.83 or 55
per cent of all available cash in the
state. Even then the holdings of the lo
cal banks on the date of the last report
were $2,090,477.36 less than on September
1 this year, when their last preceding
report was made..

SPANS GAPE LONG
Bridges Open Eight Hours, Tab
Record Broken.
650 CARS ARE DELAYED
Bridgctendcrs Unable to Stop, Street
Railway Blockaded Thirty Cars
Are Barred at One Time
on Burnside.
The record kept by checkers of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany on the bridges shows little signs
of betterment of traffic conditions across
the three bridges. The record of Monday
was fairly favorable, with but 415 ears
delayed and with the drawbridges, open
but 6 hours, 38H minutes. It was be
lieved by the more hopeful that this was
an indication that the bridge delays were
shortened owing to constant watching
by- the public.
These hopes were shattered last night
when the reports of the checkers showed
that the draws had been open for 8 hours,
42Vi minutes, with 650 cars delayed. This
exceeded all previous records save Satur
day, when the rush of Christmas shop
pers caused addltiohal cars to be op
erated, and comparisons with Monday's
record are as follows:
Delays on Increase.
Delays tabulated yesterday are as fol
lows: Steel bridge Tuesday, open 3 hours. 58
minutes; cars delayed, 398: Monday, open 2,
hours. ISM minutes; cars delayed, 109.
Burnside bridge Tuesday, open 2 hours,
41 minutes; cars delayed. 211; Monday,
open 2 hours, 7H minutes; cars delayed, 151.
Morrison bridge Tuesday, open 2 hours,
2 minutes; cars delayed. 2410; Monday,
open 1 hour, 12 t minutes; cars delayed, l.Vi.
Tuesday totals Draws open 8 hours, 43
minutes; cars delayed. 650; Monday, draws
open 5 hours, 3SV4 minutes; cars delayed,
415.
Yesterday's tab seems to Indicate
that the condition Is a hopeless one
and that, despite constant surveil
lance, the bridgetenders are unable to
cope with the situation to prevent car
blockade.
While a large part of the blockade
is probably necessary, there were a
few spots in yesterday's check that
showed . that conditions are not ' all
they could be on the bridges. On the
Burnside bridge last evening between
5:26 P. M. and 5:36 P. M. the draw was
open for exactly 10 minutes and 80
cars were stalled at one time. Then
five St. John cars, a Vancouver car,
five Woodlawn cars, six Alberta cars,
five Broadway cars, four Highland
trippers ' and four Montavilla cars
were blocked. This made it absolutely
impossible to maintain the schedule
and required at least 30 minates to
get the cars running in order again,
but at 5:56 o'clock the draw opened
again for five minutes and a half, de
moralizing the schedule again by ty
ing up 11 cars.
Bridge Opens Seven Times.
To add to the difficulties of the sit
uation, on the Burnside bridge the
draw opened no less than seven times
between the rush period of 4:45 P. M.
and 6:30 P. M. The - bridge opened
once" for 10 minutes, once for 8 min
utes, again for 64 minutes, one for
o'A minutes and twice for 5 minutes. In
this hour and three-quarters on one
bridge alone 94 cars were stopped.
The entire check - seems 'to show
that the bridges have been interfering
with the car service during the rush
hours especially. On all bridges most
of the cars have been held up in the
morning and evening when traffic is
heaviest. On the Steel bridge the de
lays wero heaviest in the evening hours
when at 5:34 P. M. the draw was open
for 9 minutes, blocking- 11 cars. At
6 P. M. the bridge was open for 10
minutes, blocking 15 cars. On the
Morrison bridge 18, ,13 and 12 cars
were blocked on three occasions with
in an hour and a half in the morning
rush. In the evening between 4:41
P. M. and 6 P. M. the draw was open
almost constantly, resulting in the
blockade of 100 cars of the 260 cars
blocked. On . this bridge alone the
record shows that of the 260 cars
stopped, 157 were blocked in the -two
rush hours of the morning and the
hour and a quarter of rush in the
evening.

ing before them the grievances from
which labor suffers at the hands of this
corporation.
"At the Instance of the United States
Steel Corporation, officers of local, mu
nicipal and state governments have un
warrantably tyrannized over citizens, in
vading the constitutionally guaranteed
right of free assemblage and free speech.
We recommend that committees be ap

the Governors of states and such other
representative officials of the counties and
municipalities as are in control where
the United States Steel Corporation has
plants located, for the purpose of pre
senting to these officials the great wrongs
Inflicted upon the people of these commu
nities, and that the committees demand
an investigation, and, where charges made
are substantiated by evidence, those re
saarisible therefor be removed, and the
wrongs be immediately righted.

SAMPLE WORK SHOWN
PROPERTY OWNERS LEARN' OF
MERITS OF PAVEMENTS.
Selection of Material for Union Ave
nue Is Delayed for Fur
, ttier Consideration.
Representatives of the Warren Con
struction Company and the Oregon In
dependent Paving Company were pres
ent last night at the . meeting of
the Kllllngsworth-Avenue Improvement
Club, ' held at the store of II. Carroll,
and presented the. merits of the two
pavements. Samples of bitullthlc pave
ment were placed on exhibition, and the
representatives of the Independent com
pany urged the advantage of asphalt
pavement. It was decided to continue
the matter until after the first of the
year before a decision is made on ma
terial. Kllllngsworth avenue will be paved
between Union avenue and the city lim
its. According to the report submitted
last night, property-owners are sign
ing up for hard-surface and there is
no opposition. H. Carroll has the peti
tions in charge. The improvement will
be undertaken next year.
After the paving question was dis
posed of the Broadway bridge situation
was discussed. N. D. Ward said that
the erection of the bridge had been
hampered and delayed from the start,
as had other improvements, but the
opposition would be overcome because
the people wanted the bridge built. The
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas. The Port of Portland and cer
tain other citizens have, set themselves in
opposition to the erection or the Broadway
bridge and are doing all they can to delay
and defeat its erection for selfish, purposes,
and
Whereas, There is Immediate need of this
bridge to facilitate rapid transportation
across the Willamette River north of Sul
livan's Gulch, where there is a great and
growing population, and as the erection of
this bridge was authorised by the people
of this city at the last general election by
a substantial majority, therefore, be It
Resolved, That ' the Killing orth Im
provement Club express its unanimous dis
approval of the action of the Port of Port
land In its opposition to the erection of the
Broadway bridge, and the belief that such
course is hurtful to Portland and especially
to the Ka&t Side, where the great body of
our '- citizens must reside; that the Port of
Portland, by approving of the plans for
the railroad bridge to be erected at Oregon
and Glisan streets, with a 220-foot draw,
and refusing Its approval of a high bridge
at Broadway street, shows -Itself singularly
inconsistent; and be It further
Resolved. That we call on every push

that the Port of Portland, the servant of
the people, cease its opposition to the erec-
