thesw circumstances 1 can sea nothing
but victory aiu-ed for the city. We In
tend to contest any fureher attempts at
a restraining order, because we wish to
se the city sell the bonds and sell them
at once."
How It Wu Done.
Following Is a stenographic report of
the proceedings) resulting In denial of the
Injunction:
Jostles Kakln: I will tadicat to yoa right
yiuw m f via In rrcsrd to this, gentlemen,
very briefly. As su.rcsted In the tsre rates
that have beea passrj on airsadr. la wblcn
wrote the opiniuM, this court does not
s't here to protect aably; tnat la tne
bualneaa of the Circuit Court. There Is a
special provision of the statute maris where
persons aeea protection to apply to the Mr
cult 'urt to protect property or rights la
prooerit. and tto publio Icterrst or the In
terest of the taxpayers, snd all those quee
ti"s tha; have been mentioned la these
affwisvus and la the record have no bearing
wbe'ever od an application, for Injunction
In this fiu-t. The only thing that this
toart "HI !. when It appears to this oourt
that there is a matter la litigation pend
ing la tills court that Is Itable to go b.
yrnd the rear of the court before It anally
slscldee the case, this court will protect It
fey injunction. At coaXsnaca we ail agreed
that that Is ss far as this court ought to
go on that question and we thought that the
se-ond ease that came here from Portland
wss a case that required us to go beyond
thst if we granted an Injunction la that
Knw tha e- MvMtlnn here that comes
te me upon the hearing of this ease Is that
In Oregon 1 didn't notice the provision In
Illinois under that fnlted States decision,
but In Oregon Us pendens applies without
notice. Everybody Is affected with lis pen
dens, as I undsrsiand the law In Oregon.
I don't know as thla court has ever directly
passed on It, but I have had occasion to
look it up quite frequently, especially while
a Circuit Judge, and I so held la quite a
number of cases. If lis pendens applies,
nobody can buy those bonds without com
ing to Oregon. They will come to Oregon
and they are bound to take notice of this
suit pending, snd they will buy with notice.
I am not saying tkls as affecting any litiga
tion that may arise hereafter regarding tnis
question, but aa my present view on lis
Pli'utnwlthout holding that Its pendens
would prelect these bonds In the Interest
of the taxpayer, letting that pass as though
It would not. nevertheless the bonds are
being sold, as It appears from the record,
suoject to the question of legality, as to
be decided In this case, which is a ooufes
stea of knowledge of the pending of this
suit and will follow the suit to the end.
ss I understand It: and that of Itself would
deprive tbe plaintiff of any right to an
inunction in this suit for the purpose of
protecting the subject of litigation In this
case. .
Hat even Independent of that I am or tne
opinion that this S3i.oa of bonds Is not
the subject of the litigation itls only an
Incident The subject of the lltlgstton Is i to
annul the whole proceeding for the build
ing of thla bridge, which Involves t.'.sso.ooo
of bonds, snd that this Is only Incidental to
that proceeding. This whole suit goes to
the question of the legality of the pro
ceeding of the City of Portland la atiempt-
I.. n nrnvl.l. f.ir and COHStfUCt a brill gW
to cost l.o.o. I have forgotten the
amount I think It s !..oi).
Mr Fulton: Two million: that Is right.
The Court: Now. that being true. If these
bonds are sold, this suit will be decided
long before the bridge Is built, or snythlng
that will amount to anthing can bs oons
In connection with Its construction.
l"wsibly It snsy be six weeks or two
months before It Is reached In this court,
because e go to Pendleton la about ten
das; but It will be decided. I mean, aa soon
as we eaa possibly reach It: and the
iXw. or whatever tbe bid la upon those
bonds, will be In tbe hands of the city
and thev will still be subject to the control
ef the city and nobody will be Injured other
than possibly the amount of the discount
on the bonds If they sre In the hands of
these purchasers without protection to the
Therefore, from either point of view. I
am of the opinion that the Injunction la not
necessary for the purpose of protecting the
suhjert of litigation In this suit, and there
fore I d not feel Justified In extending the
Injunction beyond the former order.
The application will be denied.
DILATORY

In presenting arguments attacking tbe
regularity of the City Council's action
In approving- the Broadway bridge bond

utes and. according- to M. O. Munly.
made so strong an argument In favor
of having- the rase tried on Its merits
that Justice Eakln promptly waved
aside Dunlway s contentions and di
rected the case so to proceed.
"Judge Pipes gave a forceful and
lucid presentation of tha case, and
when he had finished there was nothing
left of Mr. Dunlwaya argument." said
Mr. Munly last night. "When Justice
K a k 1 n became cognisant of the
motive for Dunlway's dilatory tactics.
It waa simply a question of Judicial
politeness to announce that there were
no proper grounds to continue tha re
straining order.
"The case will continue today and it
Is probable that It will be adjudicafcd
by Tuesday at tbe latest. In my opin
ion, there is no doubt that the city will
win every point contended for In the
case."

mut Bank of Boston, by J. K. Werleln.
City Treasurer. Aa there has been an
error in the wording of the bonds, there
Is dancer, however, that they will not
be accepted until they are reprinted.
In a recent communication from tha
purchasers of the bonds, attention was
called to the ambiguous wording con
tained on them, which recites that the
City of Portland will pay for them, on
maturity, "tiooo or K09, as the caae may
be." The error in the wording and which
makes the bonds of doubtful value. Is he
result of the exact wording of the ordi
nance, wldch authorlexe them, having
been printed on tbe bond
At the time the ordinance waa passed
It waa not determined If the bonds
should be for tlXM or and to make
either legal, it was said that either class
might be issued.
Attorneys for the purchasers have said
that they could find no fault with the
bonds other than the error In their word
ing, and they have asked thst they be
reprinted. ,
Mr. Werleln said last - night that he
would make a formal tender of the bonds
today, and In doing so would promise to
redeem them with newly-printed bonds as
soon as the others can be obtained from
the printer. With this understanding he
hopes to get the money for tha bonds at
once.

escaped criminal prosecution, the an

appeal by the state from the decision
of the Superior Court of Skagit Coun
ty. This first decision freed the men,
tha court holding that the two men,
as partners, operated the bank at Ham
ilton that went to the wall In 1905,
and as criminal statutes must be
strictly construed they escape all
criminal penalties for the reason that
they did not do business through of
ficers, trustees or other officials of
a corporate body.
Had the bank been a corporation
the officials would hava been prose
cuted for accepting money when they
knew the Institution was Insolvent but
aa they acted as Individuals and there
was no law concerning the caae at

RARE MOONSTONES FOUND
Santa Monica Beach Strewn With
Hundreds of Beautiful Gems.
8ANTA MONICA. CaL. Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) Hundreds of large, rare and beau
tiful moonstonea have been deposited on
the beach the past two days by the un
usually high tides. Such quantities have
never before been known, and for ten
years few of consequence hava been
picked up. Ira M. M. Bucll, a geologist,
today gathered a fine lot.
"I found several," said he, "the size
of a hen's egg and one or two still larger.
I have seen nothing like them along the
Coast. They are clear and pretty, some
being blue, others yellow and some pink.
The most Interesting thing to be observed
in the vicinity where the moonstones are
found is the secretion of the moonstone
substance in the flswures of rock ledge
along the shore. The moonstone is a
nodule of felspar and If found with cer
tain internal reflections that lend bril
liancy. Is of much greater commercial
value than the chalcedony. Thla aort Is
quite rare, but Is found here now."
