BLOOD LEADS TO SEARCH
Judge Bennett Sees Evidence of

Judge Bennett was an indirect wit
ness In a case that came to him for
adjudication In the Police Court yes
trday. George E. Crump was on trial
for stabbing Henry Ivy while on a
streetcar last Saturday night, and an
attempt was made to minimize the
seriousness of the offense. This case
will be thoroughly Investigated." said
Judge Bennett- "I rode on that car
the next day, and saw that It was
smeared with blood from end to end.
also learned that a number of women
fled from the sickening sight."
Ivy said that he entered the car and
found Crump and another man match
ing nickels to see who should pay the
fare. He playfully picked up one of
the coins, whereupon, he says. Crump
drew a knife and slashed him three
times in the ribs. He then knocked
Crump down and kicked him in the
face. Both men were arrested for
fighting. The case was not terminated
yesterday, as more witnesses to the
affray will be looked for.

He passed a good examination before
two physicians in good repute. He Is
a man of exceptionally fine habits,
and his applications for insurance were
accepted and policies Issued In a num

that the applicant Is not a resident of
Oregon.
The management of Oregon Life ex

though everything else appear equal,

COUNCIL DECIDES TODAY
Local Firm, Representing Eastern
Client, Willing; to Far 93.08.
City Also to Act on Suburb
an Annexation Plans.
When the City Cour.cll meets in ad
journed session at :30 o'clock this morn
ing. It Is probable that the entire block
of 50,000 30-year. 4 per cent Broadway
bridge bond will be sold to the Ladd
Tilton Bank, which submitted a bid for
an Eastern client.
(Mayor Simon last night gave It as hu
opinion that the bid of Ladd & Tilton
is within the meaning of the charter pro
vision which requires the sale of bonds
to go to the highest, bidder. While there
were a few small bids at a higher figure,
it Is said that In the aggregate the Ladd
& Tilton proposal 1 the largest rate. The
figures quoted are 93.06.
Sale of these bond by the Council will
give the Mayor and the Executive Board
the long-sought opportunity to proceed
rapidly with the construction of the big,
high span across the Willamette River.
The bid of Ladd & Tilton Is not condi
tioned at all upon the outcome of the
litigation that is pending to test the
legality of the Iwue, but merely upon the
approval by their attorney a to the
legality.
Court Action Xot Asked.
The victory for the Broadway bridge is
made all the greater by the fact that the
highest bidders do not require action oy
the courts upon the legality of the Issue.
If they had stipulated this provision, it
might have been years before the city
could realize the funds, but a It la, the
money will probably be paid soon.
In addition to selling the bonds, the
Council will have before it petitions for
the annexation of Lents. St. Johns and a
portion of territory lying west of Fulton.
Lents and Fulton Not In.
The petition for Lents and the Fulton
districts are unquestionably In full legal
form and have the full number of remas
tered voters attached, but there 1 some
question as to the one for Bt. Johns. It
Is believed, however, that it has suffi
cient voters' signatures, but it will proo
ably be referred to a committee for
checking. If It is found that It has Insuf
ficient number of signatures, there I
ample time for the St. Johns people to
die an amended petition, a the Council
con pass the necessary resolution within
30 days of the November election. There'
fore, the town la certain to be allowed the
nrlvileee of voting on the subject.
The Mayor and Recorder of St. Johns
conferred with Mayor Simon yesteraay
about the proposed annexation of their
town, and stated their opposition to the
plan. They will make known their Ideas
regarding It before the Council thl
morning.
STEVENS DENIES RUMORS
North Bank President Says Terminal
Question Xot Settled.
As the result of the publication of ru
mors that an adjustment of the termi
nal situation had been brought about
between the Harriman and Hill inter
est In Portland through the activity of
John F. Stevens, president of the North
Bank road. Mr. Stevens yesterday em
phatically dented that he had been a
party to any conference or negotiations
on the subject. He also declared that If
any adjustment had been effected in the
East he knew nothing of it.
"A short time ago," said Mr. Stevens.
"Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Cotton were In my
office discussing with me matters in
reference to the joint road In the Des
chutes. As they started to go Mr.
O'Brien asked me If I would care to talk
over the terminal condition with him
some time. I replied that I would be
wiling to do so when I had more leisure
and would let him know as soon as I
had disposed of other matters that were
demanding my attention. These mat
ters are now out of the way. and yester
day 1 sent a letter to Mr. O'Brien say
ing that I was ready to talk over the
terminals.
"We had no conference prior to Mr.
O'Brien's departure for the East. I have
never had any other conversation with
Mr. O'Brien on the subject, and I do not
know whether there is a possibility of
a change In the terminal situation."
