BLOCK TO BE KEPT
Present Postoffice Property
Will Not Be Sold.
BOURNE TELLS OF PLANS
New Slto for General Delivery Pur
poses to Be- Bought Within Half-
Mile of Vnlon Iepot Owners
Offer Several locations.
That it is not the intention of the
Treasury Department to sell the present
postofflce site, on account of Congress
having appropriated J500.000 to be ex
pended for the purchase of a site for a
new building;, was made certain through
a telegram received yesterday by Secre
tary E. C. GUtner. of the Chamber of
Commerce, and duplicated to Postmaster
C B. Merrick.
As soon as It became known that bids
for furnishing the new site were to be
received in Washington up to August 2,
the Chamber of Commerce and the Com
mercial Club were besieged for informa
tion as to what disposition should be
made of the old block at Sixth and Mor
rison streets. Telegrams were dispatched
to Senator Jonathan Bourne. Jr., and yes
terday he advised that the old building
would be retained. The Senator stated
that in all probability the growth of
Portland would necessitate the erection
of a new building at that corner for
court and other Federal purposes.
The information is the confirmation of
the announcement of The Orogonian that
whatever site may be Anally selected for
the new postofflce. the building now used
for that purpose will continue to house
a large station where money order, regis
try aud general postal business may be
transacted, with the exception of a gen
eral delivery.
General Delivery for Transients.
"It Is undoubtedly the tendency of the
administration of the postal department
to make the general delivery serve tran
sients only." said Postmaster Merrick
yesterday. Should that policy be adopted
it would be no greater hardship for vis
itors to Portland to go to any other con
venient section of the business district
for their mall than to the present build
ing. With that view of the situation mem
bers of the business men's organisations
yesterday expressed a more favorable
view of a location within the half-mile
territory surrounding the Grand Central
Station. Under the regulations govern
ing the letting of mall contracts to the
railroads, there la a clause which pro
vides that the carriers shall deliver the
mail at the postofflce when that building
Is situated within half a mile of the
terminal station. Portland is now pay
ing 12.000 per annum for carting the
loads of mail from the main office to the
mailing station.
Postal Bank Site Mentioned.
It is also probable that the location
of the new postal savings bank will be
in the old building, at which point it
would be more convenient for the people
who are engaged in downtown shopping
at all hours of the day and in the early
evening.
There was a great scramble yesterday
among the owners of blocks in the dis
trict surrounding the Grand Central Star
tion to arrange their offers of property
and submit them to Washington In time
for consideration. The bids will be
opened August 2, and soon thereafter an
agent of the department will come to
Portland to look over the offerings.
CARS RACE FIRE ENGINES
Cliief XTrges Protection for Firemen
From Reckless Motormen.
Fire Chief Campbell is urging the
enactment of an ordinance that will
eliminate the grave danger of collis
ions between fire apparatus and cars
of the street railway systems in this
city. Of late there have been serious
consequences because motormen have
persisted in taking the right of way
over even Chief Campbell's automobile.
"I have run my automobile as fast
as 30 miles an hour, having the speed
ometer in operation so that I am posi
tive, and still have been outrun by
streetcars," says the Chief. "Some
thing must be done to protect the fire
department's men and apparatus. The
department should have the absolute
right of way, without question, when
going to answer alarms, but as it is
now the streetcar employes deliberately
try to get in ahead of us."
One day this week Chief Campbell
was hurrying to a fire on the East
Bide and had to wait for the draw to
close on the Morrison bridge. When
the draw closed, the Chief says, a
streetcar was started and ran In ahead
of his machine, thus delaying him to a
considerable extent.
Last Saturday morning a streetcar
ran inta a chemical wagon at First and
Morrison streets. Chief Campbell has
reports from his own men and from
the policemen at the corner showing
that the motorman did not heed the of
ficer's signal to the driver of the wagon
to proceed, but started hla car and
caused the collision.

WIDER FIELD COVERED
MOTORCYCLES BOUGHT FOR
POLICE ON EAST SIDE.
New Machines Have Efrect of In
creasing Scope of "Work by
Local Department.
If you are speeding an automobile,
riding a bicycle .on the sidewalk or
doing a little job of second-story work
anywhere in the suburbs and should
hear the chug of a gasoline engine in
the vicinity, it is high time to hunt
cover, for the noise may come from a
brand new motorcycle, operated by a
member of the city police force. Two
of the contrivances are now in service,
on the East Side, for the present, and
they will pay especial attention to
the outlying districts.
The new machines, the purchase of
which was recently authorized, were
received and at once put into commis
sion yesterday. Patrolmen Sims and
Evans were assigned to duty on them.
It is calculated that in the matter
of covering territory, a mounted police
man is as good as four afoot, and as
the motorcycles can easily travel twice
as fast as a horse at an ordinary gait,
a net gain of 14 has been made in
the number of patrolmen on the force
by the introduction of the new ma
chines. It is probable that if the test
is satisfactory, the number of the mo
torcycles will be increased.
Nick Tesllck was sentenced to 20
days on the rockpile in Municipal Court
yesterday for carrying concealed wea
pons. Tesllck was arrested with Mike
Bonervich. on July 4, after the stab
bing of Pete Stalck. at Second and
Couch streets, of which crime Boner
vich is accused. When arrested, Tes
llck was found to have In his posses
sion a set of brass knuckles.
WOODMEN TO SEE SIGHTS
Committee Plans An to Rides Boak
Boosts for Auditorium.
On account of the delay in arriving
in the city of A. E. Sunderland, chair
man of the committee on legislation of
the Pacific Jurisdiction of the Woodmen
of the World, no meeting was held yes
terday as had been planned. The com
mittee will meet at 9 o'clock this morn
ing at the Woodmen temple for the pur
pose of considering recommendations
to be submitted to the tenth triennial
session, which will open July 25.
The local entertainment committee
has prepared elaborate plans for enter
taining the officers of the camp and
delegates who are arriving in the city
dally. Automobile trips and trolley
rides about the city and suburbs will
be among the features. A large number
of members of the Women of Wood
craft are also expected to be present
during the sessions of the Woodmen.
Head Consul I. I. Boak installed the
officers of Multnomah Camp, No. 77,
and also Rose City Camp, No. 191, last
night at Multnomah Hall. There was a
large attendance.
In regard to the proposed auditorium
for Portland, Mr. Boak stated yester
day that such a project would prove
almost invaluable to the city.
"I notice that a movement is on foot
to provide ways and means for an
auditorium," aid Mr. Boak. "and in
asmuch as Denver has recently built a
new auditorium, one of the finest in
the United States, costing $700,000 and
built and owned by the City of Denver,
I commend the efforts now being made
by the citizens of Portland and trust
they will be successful. A large, well
built auditorium, if properly arranged,
will prove one of the most valuable ad
ditions to your beautiful city.
"Our auditorium is the best thing
we ever had In Denver as an advertise
ment. We are now in position to hold
the largest kind of gatherings to the
best advantage. We have a Convention
League which is actively engaged in
efforts to secure as many as possible
of the gatherings of state and National
importance."
Mr. Boak believes that if an audi
torium is secured for Portland, a con
vention league or permanent commit
tee would be of inestimable service.
ESPERANTISTS ARE COMING
Believers In Universal Language
Recommend It for Schools.
Bringing with him a large number of
expert Esperantlsts, Fred RIvieri, editor
of the Tacoma El Simbolo, will attend
the convention of the Oregon Esperanto
Association which opens at the hall of
the Portland Commercial Club this morn
ing. Primarily Mr. RIvieri comes with the
idea of Inducing the Portland Board of
Education to establish the instruction of
Esperanto in the schools. It is already
taught in the public schools of Maryland.
Mr. Rivleri will have a large number
of Esperanto curios.
Accredited delegations will be named at
the Oregon conference to the Interna
tional Esperanto Congress at Washington
City in August. This is the convention
which it is understood Carmen Sylva
(Queen Elizabeth of Roumanla) will at
tend. Oregon Esperantists are hopeful that
Her Majesty will visit the state in the
course of her visit to Washington and
rely on it as an especial means of help
ing along the Esperanto cause in Oregon.
At the Oregon convention there will be
delegates present from every large cen
ter in the Northwest.

REGISTRATION IS SMALL
TEARING OF COUNTY CLERK'S
SIGN RESULTS IX DECLIXE.
Total Number of Voters Who Signed
Books This Week Not as Large
as in 1908.
A very poor showing has been made
in the registration of voters this week,
the number registered being less than
those who signed the books during the
same period in 1908. The crowd began
to thin out as soon as the big sign,
which County Clerk Fields has had sus
pended on. the Fifth street side of the
Courthouse, was torn, Wednesday, mak
ing it necessary to have a new one
painted. The registration today is ex
pected to be heavier, as the new sign
was hung last night.
Testerday only 299 voters signed the
books, while 314 signed up on the same
day in 1908. Thursday, 257 signed, as
against 317 in 1908; Wednesday the
number was 830, but 344 on the same
day in 1908. On Tuesday, the day be
fore the sign blew down, 387 voters
signed the books, while 315 signed in
1908.
The total registration is now 12,700,
while at the same time two years ago
it was 10.473. There are now on the
books 9858 Republicans, 1713 Democrats
and 1129 miscellaneous voters. At this
time in 1908 there were 8067 Repub
licans, 1867 Democrats and 639 mis
cellaneous. County Clerk Fields urges all natur
alized citizens to take their naturaliza
tion papers with them to the Court.

ter.
SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILS
World-Weary Man Hangs Himself
by Strap, Which Breaks.
Only the breaking of a strap by which
he had suspended himself from a limb
of a tree saved James Neutz from filling
the grave of a suicide. Neutz. who is
about 25 years old. was seen early yes
terday morning by Patrolman Hennessy
at Burnslde street and Union avenue, act
ing so queerly that the officer stopped
him. He had a Hvld red mark around
him neck, and admitted to Hennessy that
he had attempted to hang himself with a
strap. The strap broke, which he said
he regretted extremely. He told the of
ficer that he was In the last stages of
tuberculosis and could not live long.
Neutz conducted the officer back to
East Third and Everett streets, in Sul
livan's Gulch, where a broken strap was
found hanging from the limb of a tree.
It had broken when the suicide threw
his weight upon It.
Neutz was taken to the station and
booked for disorderly conduct. He said
that his home was In Minneapolis, and
he had a ticket to that place. Judge Ben
nett ordered that he should be sent to
the County Jail for examination as to
hla sanity.
ALLEGED ROBBERS CAUGHT
Patrolman Arrests Two Men Said to
Have Been "Rolling" Third.
Caught in the act of robbing a man by
violence, Harry Graham and Pat Murphy
weTO arrested at the foot of Flanders
street early Friday morning by Harbor
Policeman A. C. Small.
About 12:45 o'clock. Small was passing
along Front street, when he saw a dark
object squirming at the foot of Flanders
street. He went down and found Graham
and Murphy piled on top of a third man,
who afterward gave the name of Law
rence Ryan. Murphy was stretched across
Ryan's legs, white Graham had him by
the throat with one hand and was going
through his pockets with the other.
Small flashed his light, and the men
Jumped up and submitted to arrest. Ryan
said: "Catch them; they are trying to roll
me." All three were taken Into custody.
Not a cent of money was found on any
of the three when they were searched,
but Ryan said he had had $1.50, and 60
cents was found lying in the street where
the scuffle occurred. Murphy and Ryan
were drunk. The men were arraigned
yesterday, but further action went over.
