MAYOR UNABLE TO

License Committee Declines
to Revoke Permit of Maple
Waltz Pavilion.
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.

Yearly Collection by U. S. 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.

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.

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
