RECALL THREAT IS
MADETGJ.T.ELLIS
Councilman "Approached" by
Billboard Posting Concern,
He Says.
DEF1 TAKEN; MAYOR BACKS
Supported by City Administration,
Origingor of Ordinance Looking
Toward Billboard Evil, Wel
comes Fight on Plan.
I A. McN'ary, counsel for Foster &
Klelser, billboard posting concern, vis
ited Councilman Joseph T. Ellis, at his
office In the Couch building yesterday,
according to Mr. Ellis, and threatened
that unless he withdrew a bl'lboard or
dinance to be placed on the ballot by
Initiative petition, Foster & Klelser
would put their force of between 50 and
60 men to work for the recall of Ellis.
At the conclusion of the interview with
Mr. McNary, Mr. Ellis said he would ob
tain the necessary 2000 signatures re
quired to obtain the placing of the meas
ure on the ballot and nothing could
prevent him from doing so.
"If that is the case," Mr. Ellis reported
Sir. McNary as saying, "then the only
thing for us to do is to circulate the pe
tition for your recall."
"Go right ahead," was the retort of the
Councilman.
Councilman Ellis fathered a billboard
ordinance last year which was killed by
Councilmen vvatkins and Lombard In the
police committee of the City Council.
:He has for some time been working on
another ordinance, which will have the
ffect, he said, of absolutely abating the
billboard nuisance. At the same time,
it is also said, the measure, if it obtains
the popular vote, will have the effect
of reducing the business of Foster &
Klelser to a minimum.
The following is an account of his in
terview with Mr. McNary as told by
Mr. Ellis:
"Mr. McNary came to see me this
afternoon." he said. "We are personal
friends, but as soon as he came in he
told me he was acting for Foster &
Klelser, the billboard people.
" 'Have you heard any talk recently of
your proposed recall?' said McNary to
me.
"I told him I had not and that the lit
tle trouble was but temporary.
" 'Well, he said, '1 want to tell you a
lot of people have been to see Mr. Klel
eer recently and asked him to let his
force of men go Into your ward and cir
culate petitions for your recall. Mr.
Klelser said It would cost the firm noth
ing, and if you were going to fight them
it might be the best thing to do.
" 'He told the people he would think
about it and then asked me to come and
talk things over with you.
" Of course at the time you circulated
your last petition. Mayor Simon was be
hind you. He has now changed that at
titude. " 'Well, Ellis, what do you intend to
dor
I told him I Intended to nress for that
measure becoming law more than I had
ever done.
'He then told me the only thing for
Foster & Kleiser was to send out their
men to circulate my recall petitions.
" 'Go right ahead,' I retorted. 'I will
give the press an account of this inter
view tonight.'
"McNary begged me not to do that. He
said it w-ould put his firm in a bad light
and that we might yet come to some ar
rangement. I told him that was impossi
ble and that as he had not asked for any
pledge of secrecy I did not feel Justified
In withholding an account of what had
transpired.
"He left me in considerable heat."
Immediately after Mr. McNary left.
Councilman Ellis said he called up Mayor
Simon and informed him of the occur
rence. Mayor Simon promised he would
continue to support any billboard meas
ure. The measure being advocated by Mr.
Ellis is one providing that any billboard
on a building or within 10 feet of any
Inflammable building shall be built of
fireproof materials; further that it shall
be securely fixed on the roof of a build
ing in such a way that the Inspector oT
Buildings will pronounce it safe.
According to the provisions of the
ordinance, no billboard shall be placed
so that the face of the same shall
come within three feet of the outer
wall of such building; at the same time
the bottom edge of the board must not
be less than one foot nor more than
three above the roof of the building.
To prevent disfiguration of the city,
the face of such board shall not be
over ten feet in height nor exceed 20
feet in width. Billboards shall not
extend over the edges of buildings and
when over 18 feet wide must have a
door in the center for the convenience
of firemen who may be engaged in
fire fighting.
By the measure, the billboards are
prohibited from being placed on any
building higher than two stories and
only on buildings with a flat roof. All
such billboards must be passed upon
by the Inspector of Buildings.
In the case of billboards erected
within the fire limits other than on
buildings, they may not be over 14
leet in height above the street level.
The base of the board must be at
least two feet above the grade of the
adjoining street. This is to prevent
the accumulation of rubbish. All such
billboards in the Are limits must be
constructed of fireproof material or
faced with iron or other material in
such a manner that they will be made
fireproof.
When billboards are erected outside
the fire limits, if they are put back so
that no part is nearer than 10 feet to
any building, fence or other structure,
they may be constructed of combustible
materials. However, the boards are
not to exceed 14 feet In height and the
base must be at least two feet above
the street level. Should any part of
the board be nearer than 10 feet to
any building or fence, the same pro
visions, as apply in the case of bill
boards in the fire limits, shall apply
here.
By the proposed ordinance billboards
may not be erected without a permit
to be obtained from the Inspector of
Buildings. AH existing billboards that
do not comply with the provisions of
the ordinance are to be cut down with
in one. year of the passage of the
measure. Any that do nrt so comply
shall be torn down by the Inspector
of Buildings and the cost charged to
the owner of the board.
The Inspector of Buildings is required
to examine all billboards and to see
they comply with the ordinance and
are quite safe.
Further provisions are there shall
be an open space of not less than five
feet between any two billboards and
that no board shall exceed 500 square
feet in area.
A fee of 2.50 is to be charged for
each, billboard. By the ordinance, it
will be unlawful for any person or cor
poration to erect a billboard without
first obtaining the consent of all the
property owners In the block in which
the board is to be built. The last pro
vision does not apply in the case of
land advertised for sale or lease nor
in the case of buildings upon which a
sign is displayed advertising an en
tertainment, exhibition or business con
ducted Inside the walls. The provisions
for non-compliance with the billboard
ordinance are a penalty of not less than
$25 nor more than $200 for each of
fense and for each day each offense
Is repeated.
A concluding paragraph to prevent
the pasting of bills on wooden fences
requires that no wooden fence shall be
more than eight feet in height above
the sidewalk grade.
The petition for the ordinance, of
which the foregoing is a synopsis, will
be distributed broadcast in the next few
days. If the necessary signatures are
obtained, the measure will be placed
on the ballot at the November election.
Lillian Andrews Played in
Portland 20 Years Ago
Actress in "The Three of l'a" Was
Member of Cordray Company.
C OMETHING like 20 years ago when
the crowds surged into the old
Cordray Musee and Theater on Summer
evenings, the same Lillian Andrews who
this week is playing the Irish servant
in "The Three of Us" with the Baker
Stock Company in the last play to be
given In the venerable theater, was also
one of the most popular members of the
company. It is one of those freak coinci
dences worthy of more than passing
notice. Those were the days of the good

a cruel black mustache, waved his hair
in a slick curl pasted down towards one
eyebrow, leaned forward and hissed
curses at the Jolly Irish, Dutch or colored
(whichever Lillian happened to be that
week) character woman who is always
there just in . time to frustrate his evil
designs against the heroine.
Since then Lillian Andrews has not
played in Portland until now, when she
has come back to be acting again the
Irish servant, although in a play vastly
different from the old ones. Miss Andrews
is an exception to the average member
of the acting profession, and is reported
to have large property holdings in Cali
fornia. Her old charm is still with her
and during the past eight "weeks of her
engagement with the Baker Stock Com
pany, she has created a strong following
or mends here. She is one of the fore
most character women in stock in the
country.
William Dills is the only surviving mem
ber of the first Baker Stock Company,
which included Catherine Countiss,
Charles Wyngate, William Bernard, Elsie
Emond, and others well remembered,

days when the playhouse consisted of a
tent with sawdust on the grqund.
YOUNG TEACHER IS LOST
DERANGED, MISS BERTHA I?AX
SOM WANDERS AWAY.
Sent to Mail Letters at-Street Corner
Box She Drops From Sight of
Her Relatives.
The failure of Miss Bertha Ransom, a
young school teacher, to return to her
home at East Forty-fifth and Gladstone
streets yesterday at noon caused a long
search in the neighborhood, and up to
a late hour last night no trace of her
had been found.
Temporarily deranged as the result of
an operation following an accident last
Wrinter, Miss Ransom is believed to be
wandering aimlessly on the streets, hat
less and coatless. The police have been
notified of her disappearance and the
entire neighborhood has assisted in a
search which continued fruitlessly late
last night.
Miss Ransom, who is 23 years of age
and who had been living at home with
her mother, Mrs. J. H. Ransom, since
the accident, was sent out just after
noon yesterday to mail some letters. She
put on no hat or coat, going to the
mailbox a few blocks away but
failed to return. Investigation showed
that she had mailed the letters. Early
in the afternoon a search was started.
The country Is covered with heavs
brush in that vicinity but a thorough
search failed to reveal the slightest trace
of the young woman.
She is described as being 23 years of
age, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 133 pounds in
weight and slender in appearance, having
light brown hair and as wearing a dark
blue serge skirt and a dark blue silk
waist, with no hat or coat, when last
seen. She is said by her relatives to
be apparently rational but suffering
from acute melancholia as a result of the
operation which she had to undergo. She
was a teacher at the South Bend, Wash.,
high school.

FACTORY IS TAKEN
Deputies Rout Besieged and
Serve Replevin.
MAIN DOOR BEATEN DOWN
Man With Sllverplated -Badge, Im
personating Policeman, Resists
Attack Bond of $100,000
Given in Litigation.
Giving a bond of $100,000, Nat Camp
bell and others, stockholders in the
Campbell Automatic Safety Gas Burner
Company, replevined the plant and the
property of the company yesterday
(rom the possession of J. C. Windsor
and others.
The writ was served by Chief Deputy
Sheriff Proebstel and Deputies Baty
and Hunter, who battered in the door
of the factory to gain entrance. While
this was going on, those Inside tele
phoned to the police station, saying
that the Sheriff s men were outside and
asking for police officers to compel
them to desist.. Chief of Police Cox
laughed as he told them that he had
no authority to interfere with the
Sheriff.
The officers first made an attempt to
enter a window in the basement, which
is leased by the Campbell Company to
a plating works. It happened that the
proprietor of the plating works was
engaged in plating some badges for
the city police force. Pinning one of
them on his coat and seizing a stick,
he ordered them away. Not wishing
to clash with one supposed to repre
sent the police department, the deputies
then attacked the main door of the
factory and beat it in. They are still
in possession and will remain nntll the
proper custody of the plant is deter
mined by law.
Victor and Nat Campbell disposed of
their 61 per cent of the stock of the
company, which has a capital stock of
$500,000, several days ago. It was
proposed that the old directors should
resign as a courtesy to the new owners.
All did so except J. C. Windsor, the
treasurer, who refused. When the old
board had resigned, Windsor, acting
under a clause in the company's by
laws, appointed a new board of direc
tors and the newcomers did likewise.
Windsor's men remained in possession
of the plant, while the newcomers have
be'en for nearly a week outside, clamor
ing for admission.
FIRE FOUGHT WITH BOOTS
Resourceful Supervisor Carries
Water and Saves Timber.
Falling to whip out an incipient
forest fire by the use of his saddle
blanket, Foiest Supervisor R. E. Bene
dict is reported to have succpded
yesterday in preventing the spread of
flames by carrying water in his boots.
The fire was discovered on a hillside
of the Olympic National Forest, at the
foot of which was a little mountain
stream. He succeeded in controlling the
situation. His feet were badly blis
tered and lacerated.
The Olympic Are was one of 25 re
ported at the office of the Forest Serv
ice since the dry season began along
the Coast range. Owing to the close
patrol which is being maintained, none
has been allowed to destroy any large
amount of timber, but it has been
found necessary to employ several men
in many instances. Probably $3000 has
been thus far expended by the Forest
Service and co-operating timber owners
since the danger began. In almost
every Instance the origin of the fire
has been traced to the carelessness and
neglect of some individual. Camp fires,
matches and pipe-bowl embers are'the
chief causes.
The most serious fires of the year
have been reported from the Umpqua,
Oregon and Cascade forests in Oregon,
and the Colville and Washington re
serves in Washington.
Forest Supervisor Chapman yester
day mailed S000 circulars, addressed to
the pastors of religious organizations
in Washington and Oregon, requesting
their co-operation in educating their
localities in the necessity of saving the
trees from destruction by Are. The
circular calls attention to the immense
value of every thousand feet of timber
which becomes available by the estab
lishment of sawmills, and points out
that the loss from that source In 109
was $700,000. Many members of the
clergy have volunteered to preach on
the economic side of the problem.
BRIDGE BONDS INDORSED
East Side Club Adopts Resolutions
Praising Major's Stand.
Mayor Simon's efforts to sell the $250,000
block of Broadway-bridge bonds received
unanimous indorsement from the Jsorth
East Side Improvement Association at
its meeting last night. Following re
marks by Joe Buchtel favoring the
bridge, resolutions commending the
Mayor s stand and thanking him for his
efforts to bring about the immediate erec
tion of the structure were introduced by
H. H. Prouty and adopted without oppo
sition. The resolutions were as follows: "Re
solved, That the North East Side Im
provement Association extend its thanks
and sympathy to Mayor imon in nis
efforts to dispose of the $250,000 block of
bonds, for the purpose of starting work
on the Broadway bridge, and also for his
efforts for the erection of this bridge."
In the absence of President M. G.
Munly, W. C. North presided, and the
hall was filled to its capacity. East
Portland was represented by Dan Kella-
her. Rev. George B. Van Waters, W. L.
Black and M. O. Collins. Many others
attended who do not often go to the meet
ings. The opposition that had been ex
pected to the bonds failed to develop,
and the meeting was the quietest and
shortest in the history of the association.
Besides indorsing the bonds, no action
was taken beyond hearing a report on
the city beautiful movement from J. B.
Ziegler.

GREETINGS SENT MAYOR
SIMOIf CONGRATULATED OX
StTCCESS OF FIRST YEAR.
Day Is Busy One for Executive, Who
Receives Many Messages
From Constituents.
Mayor Simon was the recipient yes
terday of numerous congratulations
from business men and others through
out the city on the success of his first
year as the city's chief executive. In
cidentally, it was one of the Mayor's
very busy days. In addition to a large
volume or routine, he presided at a
meeting of the Board of Health at 10
A. M., the Park Board at 2 and the
Water Board at 4 P. M.
It was a record-breaking year that
Mayor Simon put in, for he never
missed a session of the City Council,
the Executive Board or of the Water,
Park or Health Boards, and he was
absent but once from the regular ses
sions of the Civil Service Commis
sion, during his first year in the office.
Contrary to custom. Mayor Simon
does not preside at the meetings, of
Executive Board committees, leaving
the work of each committee absolutely
to the members. He does, however,
preside at all of the meetings of the
Council, Executive Board and the Park
Water and Health Board and Civil
Service Commission.
"I am thankful," said Mayor Simon
yesterday, "that I have had excellent
health throughout the first year of my
term and have not been sick one day
during the entire time. I have been
able to perform my duties and have en-
Joyed the work, although at times there
are some very vexatious problems. One
of the most perplexing was the team
sters' strike, which created a serious
situation for a brief time.
The Mayor will now bend his en
ergies in pushing to completion the
great projects commenced during the
first half of his term. Thes-e include
the Madison-street bridge, the second
pipeline to Bull Run River, the garbage
crematory and the various park, play
ground and boulevard schemes.
The most difficult problem now con
fronting the administration is the
Broadway bridge, for which there is a
bond issue of $2,000,000. Litigation,
started by enemies of this project,
bids fair to delay the work for a long
time, notwithstanding the strong ef
forts of Mayor Simon and the other
friends of the bridge to get the con
struction under way.
TWO MOTHERS SENTENCED
Terms In Jail Held Over Women
Whose Children Quarrel.
Police Judge Bennett took a short
cut yesterday to the settlement of a
neighborhood quarrel in which a dis
agreement between two 5-year-old boys
had drawn their mothers into the con
troversy. The judge sentenced each
mother to 15 days in jail, but suspended
sentence pending good behavior.
Mrs. Henrlette Josselyn appeared as
defendant on the complaint of Mrs.
P. E. Blckner. The Bickner boy, 5
years old, had struck the Josselyn boy
of about the same age. Mrs. Josselyn
pursued the Blckner boy to his own
home and administered, she said, "just
one little slap."
Judge Bennett imposed the jail sen
tence upon Mrs. Josselyn for striking
the child and upon Mrs. Blckner for
permitting her boy to strike his play
mate. In suspending the sentences, the
magistrate said, with much solemnity,
that they would be enforced if the
quarrel was renewed.
BOY VISITORS GO NORTH
First Youthful Mayor of Portland
Returns to Private Life.
After remaining in Portland six days,
during which they were constantly on
the move, the members of the Columbfa
Park Boys' Club, of San Francisco, left
yesterday for Vancouver, Wash., where
they gave an entertainment last night.
They will go today to Seattle, remain
ing two days, and then will start on the
return trip home.
Portland's first boy Mayor, Sammy
Weinsteln, yesterday became a private
citizen. He will continue, however, as
president of the Rose City Boys' Club,
which was organized at the boys' mass
meeting at the Portland theater Wed
nesday night. Another meeting of the
club will be called within the next few
weeks and a permanent organization
will be effected, .

was voted asking the council to appro
priate $15,000 for the acquisition of a
site and house already standing on the
premises, for this purpose.
The location selected is the south
east corner of East Twenty-eighth and
Tibbets streets, and the members are
agreed it will make an ideal Isolation
hospital, where contagious diseases
may by properly cared for and rigid
quarantine enforced.
Under present conditions there la no
place where the health authorities may
confine contagious diseases, aside from
the smallpox detention station at
Kelly Butte, and to a limited extent
in the contagious pavilion of St. Vin
cent's Hospital. Consequently there
have been times, one in the recent past,
when there was rapid spread of dis
eases because of lack of proper quar
antine. It has been shown that people
will not obey the ordinances unless
compelled to do so. They go about
spreading disease everywhere.
Fever Epidemic Ending.
Health Officer Wheeler reported
that there are only 32 cases of scarlet
fever, a gratifying decrease from last
month, when there were 96. There were
no deaths from this disease this month.
There were 22 cases of diphtheria, with
one death, and there was one death
from whooping cough. There were 108
cases of measles, with no deaths.
Dr. Story, a member of the board.
called attention to the manner in which
contractors are leaving streets. He de
clared there is reason to fear diseases
will be bred bv the formation of pools
along the hard-surfaced streets, as in
many places there is no proper drain.
Mayor Simon referred this subject to
Dr. Wheeler, with instructions to con
fer with City Engineer Morris.
Milk Inspection Valuable.
The milk-Inspection ordinance took
full effect yesterday, concerning tnis.
Dr. Wheeler reported as follows:
July is the time limit set for applications
for the tuberculin tests of the dairy neras,
I anticipate very little trouble, as it is be
coming quite popular among the diary men.
as they obtain a direct benefit wltnout cost,
and many of them beg us to test their herds.
The work Is carefully done and is of neces
sity slow and two men could not possibly
test all the herds In the prescribed time.
But such testing will continue until all the
cows supplying the city with milk have
been tested.
This movement is certainly a very valur
able one from a health standpoint, and the
State Legislature should enact suitable laws
covering testing for tuberculosis in cattle
within the state, and also laws that would
prevent importing of untested cattle into
the state.
The ordinance, which was secured
through co-operation of Mayor Simon
and the Board of Health, assisted by
others deeply interested, compels dairy
men to submit their cows to the tuber
culin tests if they wish to sell milk
In Portland. The city has a stair or
insDectors. of which two hold state
dairy and food inspectorships, to en
force the law, and is also installing a
laboratory to test samples or mine
taken from wagons in the city limits.

BRICK THROWN IN JEST
No Arrest Is 3Iade on Complaint of
Transfer Company.
Complaint was made to Patrolman
Black Friday morning by the Van Horn
Transfer Company that some one of
a party of four men had thrown a
brick at one of its drivers. The man
was found and said that he had tossed
the brick without intending to hit any
one. He was not arrested. The tame
company reported that someone had re
moved a nut from the hub of one of
its- wagons some time in the night.

ROCHE -ARRIVES FROM SOtTH
Speedy Featherweight Will Box
With Jockey Bennett.
Johnny Roche, the speedy little San
Francisco featherweight boxer, who Is
scheduled to meet Jockey Bennett in
a 20-round exhibition Monday night, ar
rived in Portland yesterday and is
ready to enter the ring at a moment's
notice.
Roche says he does not believe that
thetydict of Governor Gillett will kill
off the fighting game entirely in Cali
fornia, for he asserts that exhibition
bouts, such as are being held in Port
land, are within the pale of the law
and will be permitted.
Jockey Bennett, who Is scheduled to
meet Roche, is a red-hot favorite with
the Portland fans, for he has appeared
here in a number of first-class bouts
with clever opponents. Bennett likes
to meet a good boxer, for when he
does he likes to extend himself and
how lust what he can do. In Roche
he believes he has a lad who will force
him to extend himself, and that is the
came he is after.
Both lads win enter tne ring at sdoui
18 Dounds. Kid Exposito and "Spider"
Richardson will furnish the prelimi
nary. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.
