16 TIIE MORXINCr OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1910. BROADWAY BRIDGE DEAL HANGS FIE Council Committee Does Not Recommend Terms of 0. R. & N. Company. O'BRIEN MAKES STATEMENT Terminal Company's Proposition Is Favored and Entire Council Is to Hold' Special Meeting on Proj ect in Near Future. .' A special meeting of the City Council will be called within a short time for the purpose of considering carefully the-negotiations of the special committee of the Council with the O. R. & N. and the Korthern Pacific Terminal Company, relative to the Broadway bridge. The special committee yesterday aft 1 ernoon made its report to the Council and was discharged from further duties in connection with the bridge project. It recommended the acceptance of the pro : posal of the Terminal Company. but made no recommendation as to the O. R. & N. portion of the negotiations. Mayor Simon declared it as his belief that the proposition submitted by the .Terminal Company is "eminently fair," 'and he favored the adoption of the spe 'clai committee's report, for the reason that it would get the subject properly before the Council and would enable each member to investigate- the case for liimself. Lombard Mates Objection. Councilman Lombard at first objected to the adoption of the report as to the acceptance of the proposition submitted toy Manager Lyons for the. Terminal Com pany, on the ground that it would, at least in a measure, commit the Council to the proposal as a final one; but the Mayor explained that ' this is not the case, as the company must come before the Council in any event and ask for the three street vacations it has desired In return for concesions it granted to the city and the Council will then have 'op portunity to take whatever action it may deem wise. The Terminal Company offered to give to the city everything the committee asked for to construct the Broadway bridge over its property and in return asked only for three street vacations, of one block each in length. This the com mittee regards as fair to both sides. Work Is Uncompleted. As to the negotiations carried on with the O. R. & N. Co., the committee re ported that it had been unable to com plete the work, but that it had done all that It believed It could do in this con nection, and asked to be discharged from (further duty. Upon motion of Council man Driscoll, this report was adopted, thus relieving Mayor Simon and Council men Menefee, Rushlight and . Wallace from any more connection of a special nature with the proceedings. It is now a matter for the entire Council to dis cuss. Copies of both reports of the com mittee and of the correspondence between It and the two companies will be fur nished each Councilman and when they are ready to take action the Mayor will call a special meeting. Owing to the depression in the bond market and the further fact that the litigation brought by Frank Kiernan in the Circuit Court Us not cleared up, the Council did not order the re-advertisement of the Broadway bridge bonds of $260,000 as was at first recommended by the ways and means committee. The applications of the O. R. & N. Co. for vacations of certain East Side streets in connection with a freight depot will be considered at the next regular meet ing of the Council, two weeks hence. j O'Brien Gives List. General Manager O'Brien, of the Har riman lines, yesterday declined to make any comment otherwise than to furnish the list below of the conces sions asked by the railroads and the city, with the respective valuations placed on them by the city assessors and by C. K. Henry, acting for the Har riman lines. Mr. O'Brien pointed out that on the city's own figures at the close of the first negotiations, (the railroad was only ahead $13,480. Following this Mayor Simon asked for other conces sions, several of which had been granted by the O. R. & N." Mr. O'Brien said that one of these alone, the ground for extension of Larrabee street, would wipe this out, while the value of the land along the Albina bluff for a boulevard was also or considerable value. Following is the tabulated statement given by Mr. O'Brien: Comparative Statement.

TIEUP APPEARS PROBABLE Issue Between Teamsters and Dray., men Remains Unsettled. With teamsters determined to go out on a strike June 1, unless their demand for an increase in wages is granted, and the transfer companies as strongly determined that the increase will not be granted, it looks as though Port land team transportation is soon to be tied up. It was reported yesterday that a number of the large transfer companies would grant the raise demanded by the teamsters, but prominent leaders of the Draymen's Association of Portland deny this, and say they will use every possible means to avoid a tie-up, but will not at this time meet the demands PORTLAND WOXA.V, NATIVE OP CALIFORNIA, DIBS. Mm. Lottie Wilkes. Mrs. Lottie Wilkes, wife of M. P. Wilkes, a passenger conductor on the O. R. & N. Railroad, died at her home in this city May 22. She was born in Hollister, Cal., March 1, 1875, her maiden name being Lottie C. Fredson. Mrs. Wilkes was a member of the Christian Church, a member of Condon Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, a member of Cedar Circle, Women of Woodcraft, of The Dalles, and of the Ladles' Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. She is survived by her hustfand, a daughter, Bernice; a father, brother and sister. of the teamsters. A meeting of the Draymen's Association is to be held within a few days, when a course of action will be determined on. Speaking of the matter yesterday S. W. Herrman, president of the Holman Transfer Company, said: "Portland teamsters are paid better than the teamsters of any other city in the United States, except San Fran cisco, and while we realize that the cost of living is. much higher than for merly, at the same time we are paying a much higher price for horse feed, while the rate we receive is no higher than several years ago. A few years ago the teamsters made a demand for an Increase in wages from $2.25 and $2.50 a day to the present scale of $2.50 and $2.75 a day. At that time, how ever, the merchants of the city allowed us a higher rate for moving freight and wfe could afford to meet the ad vance. "As to arbitrating the matter, wo can see no benefit to either side in this. The Increase will either be granted or will be turned down, ami a matter of arbitration would not change the result." There are a number of large transfer concerns in Portland which are affili ated with the Draymen's Association, and it is not known what course these companies will take. AUTO VICTIMS RECOVERING Xo Deaths Likely to Result From Early Morning Wreck. Mrs. Bertha Case, wife of R. A. Case, manager of the Rhelnpfalz Hotel, Is still in serious condition at St. Vincent's Hos pital but her husband and the other man who was in the Case automobile when it was struck by a freight train on the United Railways, at Front and Main streets early yesterday morning, are on the road to recovery. Mrs. Case's injuries are not considered fatal. The rear end of the train hit the auto mobile, which was going at a good rate of speed. Conductor E. W. Ryan and Motorman C. B. Rowland both saw the danger of ft. collision as the automobile approached, and tried to stop their train, but too late. They believe the chauffeur, C. H. Cummings. an employe of a local automobile company, was to blame for the accident. Their contention is shared by Ll B. Wickersham, chief engineer of the United Railways. First reports of the accident were to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. William Webber, friends of the Cases, were in the automobile when the train struck it. Mr. and Mrs. Case and Cummings were picked up and hurried to the hospital and after the men had recovered from the shock, they explained that the Webbers had left the car for their home before the accident. COMMONS VOTES TAG DAY Meeting Decides to Work for Success of Industrial Farm. Following an address by Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden at a meeting representing 14 Portland churches in the Commons Hall. 22 North Front street, it was voted unan imously to make a vigorous campaign in the interests of the coming "tag day" and to make the Industrial Farm a suc cess. Mrs. Hidden, in her address, said that the best of all charitable work was the caring for the "ragged ends of hu manity." Christ worked among the com mon people, she said, and if he came to Portland would say that the Commons' work was the greatest need of all. Among those who participated were: Mrs. Sarah Whiteside and Miss L. M. Fullmer, deaconesses: Mrs. Florence Wells, missionary, and Mrs. June Mc Millen Ordway. Mrs. Hidden will ad dress several parlor meetings on the work of the Commons.

MODIFIED LICENSE LIKELY Other Amusement Features May Be Permitted by New Ordinance. Kesldents of Portland Heights Join in Strong Protest, Council Crest as an amusement park will probably survive the attack made upon it by the people of the district in and about which it lies, but the dance feature will be eliminated. Yesterday af ternoon, the City Council took action to this effect, although an ordinance pre pared by Ellis, revoking all of the rights and privileges of the lessee, was passed by a vote of 11 to 2. This cannot be come effective until 30 days and mean time, it is believed, a license will be granted for the operation of the amuse ment features. Mayor Simon, yesterday morning, dur ing the discussion of the Crest establish ment, called a. special meeting of the Council for Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock, but this order was recalled dur ing the afternoon session for the reason that Councilman Dunning withdrew his objection to the Ellis ordinance and it was unnecessary to hold the special ses sion to act. At the morning session, a number of the most prominent citizens on Portland Heights appeared and pleaded in strong terms' that the entire establishment on Council Crest be closed. They declared with one accord that it is unfit to run; that it fosters and breeds immorality and should be closed as a nuisance and a blot on the good name of the city. Dances Are Denounced. - "I doubt if there is a worse specimen of debauchery In the city," said A. D. Charlton, one of those who addressed the Council on the subject. "They . put on dances worse than the "turkey trot'- or 'the glide,' complained of so bitterly re cently by residents of the downtown dis tricts when other dancehalls were running in the city. Decent people can't ride with safety on a Council Crest streetcar any more; there are drunken men in sulting women passengers and of ' a morning you can look along the track and see a string of beer and whiskey bottles, left there during the night by the revelers. It is a pronounced and aggravated nuisance and should, without doubt, be stopped." Messrs. I. Lang and John Bain spake Vt '- ''1 - is Family Is Vitally Interested in the Location of the Home Additions with Character Sy LotS AND UP Terms 10 Per Cent Cash 2 Per Cent Monthly rCk 522-526 Fifth Phones similarly, and it was plain that it was the unanimous sentiment of the resi dents of Portland Heights who were pres ent that the establishment should be closed. Owner Defends Lessee. Mrs. Preston Smith was the sole speak er present who ventured to defend the place. She owns the ground, which is leased ty A. Duchamp for the use of the park. She declared' that it is no fault of the proprietor or the management that this trouble has come about. "You would have to revoke the license of every saloon in Portland and make it impossible for those who go to the Crest to buy liquor to take up there with them before you could stop the drunkenness," she asserted. "No liquors are sold or allowed on the grounds, but the people take it with them from down town and there the trouble begins." Councilman Dunning interposed objec tion to the passage of the ordinance in troduced by Ellis, and this would have put over consideration of the subject for two weeks had not the Mayor ordered a special session. Later, Dunning with drew objection and the ordinance passed, Kubll and Dunning voting against it. Kubli made an unusually long talk, in which he said he was not in favor of immorality in any sense, but that h.e did not believe it to be right to close out the Crest as an amusement park simply because some trouble had oc curred from liquor being taken there and people becoming drunk. He thought the place should be treated fairly and be given another chance, he said. Councilman Annand, who lives on Port land Heights, said that he understood that the point made by Kubll of a poor man having Invested his all in this park, and now being "put out of business and made to lose all of his money," was not well taken, because the place Is financed by a large and wealthy com pany of Eastern capitalists. Protesters Not Satisfied. Displeased at the action of the Coun cll in passing the ordinance which will Do- you think you sion or trade ' tite, and lay your nerves all lingering cough, bronchitis, or bleeding at the lungs, it will bring about cure in 98 per cent, of all cases.

Ad Service. permit the attractions at Council Crest to continue in operation for a month, a number of citizens of Portland Heights held an Indignation meeting last night and passed resolutions de nouncing Council Crest as an amuse ment park. A committee was appoint ed to wait on Mayor Simon today and request him to veto the ordinance as passed by the Council and to ask him to call another special meeting as soon as possible, that a new ordinance may be drafted, in which there is an emer gency clause putting an immediate stop to the Crest "nuisance," as it is termed. This committee consists of Dan J. Malarkey, John F. Carroll, George C. Flanders, H. C. Campbell and H. c. Spencer. It Lang acted as chairman of the meeting last night. All the mem bers of the committee made talks de nouncing Council Crest and the way it is being conducted, and a number of other citizens spoke against the amuse ment resort. A second mass meeting will be held tonight, at which a report from the committee on the results of the con ference with the Mayor will be given. At this meeting there will be citizens of Portland Heights, and representative citizens from all over Portland have been invited. Woman Pound Dead in Bed. Mrs. Lizzie A. Nelson, wife of F. E.
