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:

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

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

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.

The environment of the home is of course its chief charm. The environment
of Laurelhurst will be its chief charm. Every father and mother attempts to
rear their family in an environment of culture and refinement. The high,
class of the improvements in Laurelhurst and its wise building restrictions
compel an environment of the highest culture and refinement.
The wise homeseeker or investor will see Laurelhurst. It compels their atten

that its ideal location in close proximity to the heart of the city means for in
vestors rapid increases in value.
The last plat of Laurelhurst, which has just been filed, comprises an allotment
of the most beautiful homesites in the entire city. Every high-grade improve

different car lines, these lots are still being offered at the first and original
prices placed on them. Buy now before prices advance.

DANCEHALL TO GO
Council Crest Privileges Are
Revoked by Council.
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."

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.

cll in passing the ordinance which will

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.

the meeting last night. All the mem
bers of the committee made talks de

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

At this meeting there will be citizens
of Portland Heights, and representative
citizens from all over Portland have
been invited.
