POLICE CONDEMN PLACE Tliree-Meps on Nightly Programme Termed Shocking Owner ot Establishment Weeps at In quiry Ordinance Asked. Mayor Simon's efforts to close the Maple Dancing Pavilion on Washington treet, near Seventeenth street, did not vail with the license committee of the City Council. Yesterday afternoon the committee heard the manager's side of the case and declined to revoke his li cense. Maple Hall is declared by Chief of Police Cox. Captain Bailey and others to be an immoral place. Immediately after the committee's action was an nounced. Councilman Wallace re quested Deputy City Attorney Grant to prepare an ordinance, the terms of which will eliminate "fancy" dances Stepped In the Maple and other places. William Lilly, proprietor of the es tablishment, appeared before Council men Driscoll. Dunning and Concannon. members of the license committee; wept profusely: said he had been badly used by the police and others-, and felt that he was not to blame for anv of the trouble that has befallen him. Mayor Simon has declared lie will close tiie dance-hall. If possible, but ns long as the Council grants Lilly a license to operate, it is difficult for the executive branch of the city govern ment to interfere. , There will un doubtedly be strong opposition to the committee's action when the Council meets tomorrow, as the recommenda tions of Mayor Simon. Chief Cox and Captain Bailey may weigh heavy when closing the place Is considered. Among the. objectionable features named by the police are three dances known as the turkey waltz, the rag md the moonlight glide. These steps ar characterized by the police as "shocking." and Lilly was ordered by Captain of Police Bailey to eliminate them. Lilly refused, it Is declared, and complaints against the pavilion are made frequently. The "moonlight glide" U waltzed with the lights turned low. After hearing Lilly's story. Chairman Drisooll said he could see no reason why any of these dances should be "cut out," as, ho said, other places in the city permit them and he believedi In "fair play." Councilman Dunning moved to file the police complaints. This carried and the report will go be fore the Council. Assistant City Attorney Grant ex pressed the belief, upon hearing of the committee action, that there should be an ordinance against the objectionable dances named, which would give the police power to suppress them. Coun cilman Wallace then asked him to frame such a measure. sampiIe surrs $21.75. Better materials, better fitting and more style to these coats than others offered about town at $30 and J35.

On Projects Upheld. KLAMATH FALLS CO. LOSES Judge Bean Holds Maintenance and Operation Charges Are Due T7n til Half of the Cost Is Paid. System Divides Expense. Through a decision of the United States Court, handed down yesterday by Judjre Bean, an interpretation is given of that portion of the Reclamation Act authorizing: the collection of mainten ance and operating expenses from year to year. The court held that the Department of the Interior was authorized to col lect construction and maintenance charg-es until such time as. one-half of the entire cost of any project shall be paid and that particular system of irri gation shall be turned over to the man agement of the Water Users' Associa tion, composed of people who are mak ing beneficial use of the water. The question was raised by the re fusal of former owners of the Klamath Falls Irrigation Company to pay an assessment of 1908 amounting to J1.50 an -acre. District Attorney McCourt was compelled to bring action for the .collection of the amount. In the plead ings it is recited that the Klamath Falls Irrigation Company was one of the oldest water-supplying ditches in the country acquired by the Reclama tion Service. Situated In the heart of the Klamath Falls project it possessed old and valuable water rights, and in the formation of the plan to reclaim lands, that system became of Import ance to the Service. Pledges Made at Purchase. Roscoe E. Cantrlll and Cordelia M. Ankeny owned a large part of the stock of the irrigation company and the Rec lamation Service started into negotia tions by which the system was acquired In April, 1906, by the payment of $50,000. Cordelia M. Ankeny at that, time contracted to purchase water for the irrigation of 1700 acres of land as It should be needed and "to pay charges dly levied against such lands for the management and operation of the sys tem." In 1908 water was -delivered to the lands, by the .Government and the charges fixed reached $1.50 an acre, which Mrs. Ankeny refused to pay. Water was then turned off from the lands and her attorneys began suit con testing the right of the Reclamation officials to collect any charge. Under Section 6 of the reclamation act it was Insisted that it became In cumbent on the Government to con struct, operate and maintain the Klamath Falls project at its- own ex pense until such time as the Govern ment should have collected 50 per cent of the cost of the works. Opposite Contention Expensive. If the Government were able to col lect all the assessments levied each year the granting of this contention would mean that the Reclamation Ser vice would be called upon to spend $13,000,000 in the United States for maintenance and operation alone, it being aserted that all users of water under the various projects now in pro cess of construction would take ad vantage of the ruling. It was argued by District Attorney McCourt that such action would cripple the operations of that branch of the Government ser iously, and that the contention could not be considered for the reason that the law provides that after payments have been received five years the sys tems shall be turned over to the local Water Users' Associations, and there after all payments are made to them. In passing on the questions raised Judge Bean pointed out that the Recla mation Service had expended $53,000,000 in the Irrigation of lands by the con struction of projects far too expensive for private capital to undertake, and that the purpose of the Congressional act authorizing the work was to col lect the moneys so expended by dividing the cost on an aereage basis, payable in 10 annual installments. The court ruled that money expended for the operation and maintenance was necessary In assuring the efficiency of the service to the settler in making otherwise worthless land a productive and valuable asset, and that It was within the power of the Secretary of the Interior to make division of the an nual payment between the construction and maintenance funds. The decision is the first handed down in the Federal Court affecting the recla mation act and is considered to be of great importance in furthering the work undertaken by the Government in many places in the West. WITHDRAW LAND CERTIFICATES 4 Evidence Used In Hermann Case to Be Sent to Salem. District Attorney McCourt informed Judge Bean yesterday that it was the desire of the State land Board to with draw a large number of certificates of purchase used In the trial of Binger Her mann. Attorney Gearin, counsel for Hermann, was asked by Attorney McCourt if at torneys for the ex-Commissioner of the General Land Office had any objection to the evidence against Hermann being sent to Salem. "None in; the least." replied Mr. Gearin, "send the indictment along, too." DISCHARGED EMPLOYE SUES Ilivaco Resident Asks $30O0 for Al leged Violation of Contract. William A. Heller, of Iiwaco, Wash., yesterday began suit in the United States Court against the Iiwaco Mill & Lumber Company, of -Pacific Cbunty, Washington, seeking $3000 damages. The suit Is the result of alleged fail ure to comply with a contract for the construction of the Iiwaco eleutric light plant. Heller asserts he was en gaged or three years as manager of the operations of the lighting company and worked on a percentage basis. He complains that when the business be came profitable the Iiwaco company sold the lighting plant, and that the new owners dispensed with his serv ices. The plaintiff says he has been unable to secure payment for the unexpired portion of the term said to have been covered by his contract. SILETZ ENTRANT GETS APPEAL Injunction Refused C. V. Hare, De cision to lie Submitted. Attorney A- W. Lafferty yesterday, in the United States Court, secured an order allowing an- appeal from the de cision of Judge Bean, who refused an injunction in the case of Chester V. Hare against August Birkenfield. The case will go to the Court of Appeals at San Francisco. Hare was one of the original settlers In the Slletz Indian Reservation whose claim had not been passed to patent because of the general order issued by the Department of the Interior de manding an investigation of all claims. Hare submitted final proofs, which were accepted and forwarded. After making final proof, August Birkenfield entered on the Hare claim as a squatter. He declares his intention of remaining on the ground to acquire a preference right of entry In rase the Hare claim Is canceled. The court re fused to grant an injunction restrain ing Birkenfield from again entering on. the land. A bill is pending In Congress which is intended to cure all defects which may be discovered in the final proofs of actual settlers on the Siletz lands. Should it become a law the appeal taken by Attorney Lafferty will be unnecessary. SCRIBER TO APPEAR. MAY 9 Date . of . Trial of L Grande Bank Cashier Is Set. J. W.

Ordinance, Long Held Vp by Wrangling-, May Pass Today Improve ment Bonds Sold. Favorable action by the ways and means committee of the-City Council on the proposed ordinance appropriating funds for the construction of a garbage crematory was taken yesterday afternoon. The vote was unanimous. The measure carries an appropriation of J130.000. and It Is regarded as certain that it will be passed by the Council tomorrow morning. This is the measure which haa been held up because of factional differences in the Council. Now that the Board of Health has rejected the bids tendered re cently and has asked the Council to make the apropriation before anything further Is done. It Is believed that there will be at least a majority favoring its passage when it comes to a vote tomorrow morn ing. If it passes, the Board of Health will again advertise for proposals for an Incinerator, and will probably be able to build the plant within a r time. The committee also disposed improvement bonds at good ra mium. The highest was offer Merchants National .Bank, of p Interest and 2.35. The bonds terest at the rate of 6 per cen life is indefinite.
