COUNCIL UPHOLDS
DOCK BONDS VETO
Mayor Simonrs Action on Or
dinance Approved by .
8 to 6 Vote.
EXPENSE NOT WARRANTED
Business Men Oppose Expenditure
of $500,000 of Public Funds
at PresentSouth Portland
Bridge Supported.
Mayor Simon's veto of tha dock bond
ordinance was sustained-, by the City
Council yesterday, the" vote being 8 to 6.
.There was no comment, except by Baker,
who salt! that he had discussed the sub
ject with a good many. business men and
had come to the conclusion that the plan
is not sufficiently well in hand to warrant
the expenditure of $500,000 of public funds,
as called for in the ordinance.
There has been an insistent demand by
certain Interests for prompt action in
selling the issue of bonds voted by the
people three years ago, notwithstanding
the objections urged by the Mayor. The
latter, however, was able to convince
the Council that it would be an error
to proceed Without a definite plan in
view and his veto was, therefore, sup
ported. Railway Franchise Revoked.
The Council revoked the franchise of
the United Railway Company on Sev
enth, Hall, Sixth and Sherman streets,
and on Taylor, from Front to Sixth
streets, and an application was filed by
the company's representative, seeking a
new franchise on Taylor, from F.ront to
Seventh, and on Seventh to Stack streets.
This was referred to the committee on
streets, and will be considered - next
week.
Judge Morrow, presiding judge of the
Circuit Court, was granted-the use of the
Council Chamber wlien the; same is not
in use for city purposes, as he said that
the room is needed, the Courthouse being
overcrowded at the present while the new
building Is being constructed.
Authorization to place pn- the ballot at
the November election a proposed $1,500,
000 bond issue question for a bridge from
Division street to Sherman street was
given, upon motion of Councilman Wat
kins. The South Portland people are
booming this project and will make of it
a great campaign issue.
The Nelson automatic air fender for
streetcars was ordered placed on one car
of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company for a practical test of 30 days"
duration, and afterwards, the same action
was .taken in regard to the Eclipse, the
Kemp and the Keizur devices.
State Law Defines Fender.
While the fender subject was under
discussion, Co'uncilnran DevMn -declared
himself as willing to allow the tests, but
said that, in his opinion, the Council has
nothing whatever to do with the question,
as the state law defines a. fender and car
ries all of the necessary provisions.
Councilman Baker endeavored to . se
cure for Earnest Traxler a- special dis
pensation to Bell a song entitled "Mult
nomah," during the Rose Festival, but
failed.
"It's just a little song, dedicated to the
Rose Festival, and the mair wants to
peddle it through the season that's Till
there is to it," explained Mr. Baker.
"There's a pretty picture of an . Indian
girl on the cover and it's a clever little
song."
"Can the girl sing?" asked Councilman
Wallace.
"No, I can't sing it. but I will send for
some one who can, if you want to hear
It," replied Mr. Baker, who. had not cor
rectly heard Mr. Wallace's question.
The Council refused to give the author
the privilege of selling the song without
payment of a license, notwithstanding
Mr. Baker's statements.
OBJECTS T0ST0NE QUARRY
Court Hears Prisoner's Plea That
Application Was Irregular!
Jhn McDonald Is attempting to secure
hi freedom on a writ of habeas corpus.
Hearing was had before Presiding Circuit
Judge Morrow yesterday afternoon, but
Attorney W. H. Fowler asked time in
which to file an answer to the returnof
the City Attorney's office to his petition,
so the case was continued until Satur
day. -
McDonald was sentenced by. Municipal
Judge Bennett to serve 90 days in the
city -prison and to pay a flrie' of J300 for
assault and battery upon a child. He was
imprisoned at the Linntori 'quarry.' It is
his attorney's contention that the Linnton
rock" pile Is not a city prison," but a.
County Jail, and that city prisoners, can
not therefore be worked there. The con
tention of Deputy City Attorneys Tom
linson and Sullivan is that any place the
city may establish is a city .prison,
thought it be nothing more than a boxcar
along a railroad.
ABAXDOXED TRIP SUIT BASIS
Owner of Auto Wants $100 Though
Passengers Failed lo Go.
A. L White, a motorman, planned to
take an automobile trip to Central Ore
gon to look at some land near the pro
posed Hill Railroad a year ago, but
when the time came found the street
car company would not release him. As
a result he was sued in the Circuit
Court by Alvin S. Hawk, the suit com
ing to trial before Judge Cleland yes
terday morning. It was taken under ad
visement. Hawk agreed, he a'leged. to trans
port White and White's sister from
The Dalles to the northern part of
Lake County and return at $50 each.'
White telephoned he was usable to go,
but Hawk charged him $100 for the
transportation.. : . -.
DR. PATTOX SEEKS COMMISSION
Suit Brought for $11,275 for Ex
ploitatlng Patent Garments.
B. R. Charles, who . lost $7500 from a
safety deposit vault in the German
American Bank at the hands of a mys
terious small man who could not bo
found. Is being sued before Judge Cleland
in the Circuit Court by Dr. H. M. Pat
ton, Who demands $11,275 as commission.
The case went to trial yesterday after
noon. Patton alleges that a year ago
last January he agreed with Charles to
exploit Charles' electro-thermal gar
ments, said to be good for rheumatism;
that he assisted in the - organization Of
the United Electric Garment Company;
Interested Arthur C' Stubllngr in the
project and disposed of some stock. He
declares $11,275 is still owing. .
Dan J. Malarkey, associated with E. D.
8eabrook and E. P. Stott as counsel for
Charles, succeeded In confusing Patton
in his testimony yesterday afternoon. It
was necessary for the attorney to ask
Patton three times when the agreement,
by which Charles was to pay a commis-v
sion, was entered into before a satisfac
tory answer could be obtained. Even then
Patton could not fix the date, although
he Bald there was a verbal agreement
that he "was to be well paid."
It is Charles' contention that while
Stubling . and his brother were engaged
in the liquor business at The Dalles they
became Interested through Stabling's use
of the garment, and were Induced to pur
chase stock in the corporation. Carter
and Dufur are Dr. Patton's attorneys.
N Court Notes.
Eva C. . Rosebrook filed a divorce
suit agaln-st Shedrick Rosebrook in the
Oregon City Circuit Court yesterday.
Attorney McMahon representing her.
The proceedings on an Indictment
against 23-year-old Edgar Wilson were
continued at Wilson's request by Pre
siding Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday
morning, the young man being allowed
to go on parole on condition- that he
take passage on an ocean-going steam
er. Wilson's father and sister asked
the Judge to give him another chance,
saying that his downfall was the re
sult of association with bad compan
ions. -He ' was indicted by the April
grand jury for stealing a $5 watch
from Roy W. Goodwin.
Thomas Golemls has applied to the
County Court to be appointed guardian
for John Chouris, a boy alleged to have
been injured while cleaning a ballast
car at Spokane belonging to the O. R.
& N. Company. Golemls desires to
bring suit against the company for
damages. A runaway box car struck
the ballast car In which Chouris was
working, knocking him Into the pit, and
fracturing his- -hip bone. The accident
occurred December 16, last year.
Because a United Railways right-of-way
agent took several property leases
in his own name instead of the corpora
tion, the company has brought six suits
against him in the Washingtpn County
Circuit Court to recover damages or to
compel a change in the leases. The
leases cover sand and gravel deposits.
Lee Lawson, Lawson' & McCoy, Lawson
& Heisler and Lawson & DeMoss are
named as defendants.
HEM HITS WIN GAME
WASHINGTON HIGH DEFEATS
COIU3IBIA UNIVERSITY.
Batting Strength Suddenly Devel
oped by Unbeaten Team Final
Score Stands 6 to O.
By showing unexpected batting
strength, the Washington High base
ball team defeated "the Colubla Uni
versity nine "yesterday afternoon on the
Multnomah Field by the score of 6 o
2. Until yesterday's game, Washington
was looked upon as one of the weakest
hitting teams in the league, but yes
terday it changed this by hammering
Kirk for a total of 12 hits, including
three, two-baggers.
Washington has gone through two
successive seasons in the Interschol
astlc League without meeting defeat
on the baseball field. Yesterday's game
was the last in the league for Houck,
the Washington High twirler, and he
pitched good ball. Columbia got only
four hits off his delivery.
Heywood, the Columbia University's
scrappy shortstop, after making a great
three-bagger to center field, was forced
to leave the game by being injured at
the plate while sliding home after
Davis had hit a long fly to center field.
George made a beautiful peg to . the
waiting hands of Wilson, who tagged
Heywood. . Wilson blocked Heywood
and they both fell an' in the mixup
Heywood was injured.
The defeat yesterday put Columbia
out of the running for second place in
the league. If it had won yesterday it
would have been tied with Jefferson
and Lincoln high schools for second
place.
Washington started the run-getting
in the first inning. Cornell, the first
man up. after waiting until he had
three balls'' and two strikes on him,
caught the ball squarely on his bat and
sent it into the tennis court for a two
bagger. Cobb -struck out. Wilson
scored Cornell with a hit over second
and advanced to the middle station
on the throw to the plate. He reached
third on a passed ball and Anusen
worked the squeeze play, on which he
went out and Wilson scoredr Houck
got a two-bagger, but Moreland ground
ed out to first, and the Inning ended.
V. Perkins, the ,flr3t man up for Co
lumbia in the first inning, hit a hot
one tp Anusen. at short that the latter
muffed. Heywood struck out, but Wil
son dropped the ball- and Perkins ad
vanced to . second, . from whence he
scored on a two-bagger Into the grand
stand by "Davis. F. Perkins hit to right,
sending Davis to third, but both were
left at the - post, because Kirk fanned
and C Perkins grounded out, Cobb to
Moreland.- '
" Columbia got the other tally in the
sixth inning. Davis hit to center- field
for a sinRle, went to second on an out
by F. Perkins, went to third on an er
ror by Moreland and scored on an In
field out by Cliff Perkins. Harris end
ed the inning by fanning.
The eighth inning was the scene of
a slaughter of Kirk's' slants, when five
hits and an error let in four runs.
Cornell got. on and went to second on
an error by Finegan and after Cobb
had walked he scored on a single by
Wilson. Anusen hit for a single and
the bases were populated. Houck. after
fouling nearly a dozen, struck out.
Moreland came through with a long hit
to right and Cobb and Wilson scored.
Anusen took third and Moreland went
to second on the throw in. Jones hit
to right field and scored Anusen.
George walked, but Word flew o,ut to
center field and the side was retired.

RECORD TRIP IS MADE
Prinevllle Man Hastens to Injured
Father In Portland.
All records for rapid travel over the
dusty, road from Prinevllle to Shaniko
were broken by G. R. Ray, a rancher
from the former place, who came to
Portland to attend to the affairs of his
aged father, the victim of an accident
in this city. Upon hearing that his
father was hurt in Portland, Ray hired
an automobile, paying $40 for the trip
to Shaniko, and made the trip in quick
time.
The father, J. L. Ray, who is 75 years
old, still lies unconscious at the hos
pital, three weeks after his accident.
On May 4 " he fell from a window in
a rooming-house at sixth and Hoyt
streets, sustaining a fractured skull
and a broken leg.
