Judge Bean's Ruling Settles
Controversy Over Valu

WOOD FAILS TO PAY RENT
Defendants' Contention as to Verbal
Extension Agreement Dis
proved Second Salt on
Bond Now Pending.
By ths term of an opinion filed In
ths Cnlted State Circuit Court yester
day by Judge Bean. ths lease executed
on February S3. 107. by II. U Plttock
on tha Plttock homeslte. constltutlnr
an entlrs block In the retail business
ectton of Portland, to J. Whyte Evana
Is annulled.
The lease was for a term of approxi
mately years and at the time of the
Inauguration of the suit the rights un
der It were held by W. D. Wood, of
Seattle, under assignment from Mr.
EYans. The property Involved In the
case Is the largest tract la the main
business district now unoccupied by
buildings devoted to commercial pur
poses. The property is designated on
the city plats as block ! and is
bounded by Washington. Tenth. West
Park and Stark streets. Two residences
are now on the property, one a cot
tage that was occupied by Mr. Plttock
In early days In Portland, the other a
larger residence built by Ulm for a
home some years later.
t'nder the terms of the lease Mr.
Evans, or his assigns, was to begin
construction on the block not later
than July 1. lo. of a building to cost
not less than 1100.008 and to be con
structed of steel or concrete or a com
bination of both. The terms further
provided for the payment to Mr. Ilt
tock of the sum of $:so a month for
the flmt IS years, which rental was
Increased at the rate of S per cent
very five years thereafter for the full
term of the lease.
Salt tiled Year Ago.
Salt for the cancellation of the lease
was filed in October. 109. by Mr. Pit.
lock on the gr und that the terms of
the lease had not been complied with.
At that time there was due In unpaid
rentals and taxes approximately 170.000
and Mr. Wood had made no move
toward construction of a business
block on the premises, although more
than one year had expired after the
time limit fixed In the lease for the
commencement of work. Mr. Wood
had paid the rental specified in the
lease np to December 1. 1907. but there
after had paid no amounts until Jan
uary. DOS. except about $3030 1 1 street
assessments. Between January and
March. 10. he pa-d the further sum
of $10,000. making a total payment on
theJeae of about 110.000. or less than
one-third of the total amount that
should have been paid to the time of
commencement of the suit.
Before filing suit Mr. Plttock had
sent a written notice- to Mr. Wood, as
provided by the terms of the lea.e. no
tifying him that the lease would be
terminated, at the expiration of 60 daya
unless the rent due was paid. . This
was In August. U01, and r?o money
being thereafter paid on the accrued
rental, the action was commenced.
Extension Point at Issue.
As a defense to tke suit for cancel
lation of the lease Mr. Wood alleged
that on or about May 13. 109. Mr. Plt
tock. In an interview with him. ex
tended the time for the performance of
the conditions of the document until
the completion of the Olds. Wortman
ft King building, which Mr. Wood was
constructing and which was to have
been completed cbout February T.
1110. Mr. Plttock filed a reply to this
defense denying the existence of any
agreement for an extension of the
terms of the lease.
In addition to this defense the de
fendant Wood set out In his answer
that the lease had not been delivered,
nor possession of the preml-? surren
dered to him. and that Mr. Plttock bad
brought the suit In bad faith, seeking
to cancel the lease because of the In
creased value of the property. It was
alleged that this value had doubled
since the execution of the lease. The
latter Issues were abandoned on the
trial of the case, however. It being
shown that Mr. Plttock had extended
every reasonable courtesy to the de
fendant, and the Issues as finally
drawn In the trial Involved only the
question of an extension of the condi
tions of the lease.
Wood' Actions Held Damaging.
In the opinion filed by Judge Bean
yesterday, this question alone Is dis
cussed. It Is pointed out that there
was a sharp conflict of testimony In
the trial on the question whether the
time for the performance of the cov
enants and conditions of the lease was
extended by agreement of the parties.
Mr. Wood and Mr. Uawley. who was
associated with him. says the court,
testified that such an agreement had
been entered Into, but these allegation
were denied by Mr. Plttock and bis
secretary. Mr. Price, who wa present
flaring the Interview. The court hold
that the burden of proof was on the
defendant to sustain the allegations of
the answer by a preponderance of evi
dence, "and." say the court, "In my
judgment he haa not done so." The
court then reviews the subsequent con
duct of Mr. Wood and Mr. Hawley In
relation to the matter and reaches tha
conclusion that it was Inconsistent
with the existence of an agreement for
an extension of time as claimed.
Tha opinion reel tea that after Mr.
Plttock. In August. 10. served the
formal notice of forfeiture of the lease
If tha rent was sot paid In 10 day, the
defendant made no claim or conten
tlon that the forfeiture would be In
violation of a previous extension
agreed upon.
Other Pleas Made at Jlrt.

Company, out aia "i m u
utt would be contrary to agreement.
And. again, that after tha suit had
tervtew wth Mr. Plttock In Pittsburg
and New York and made no contention
of a violation of agreement.
Ruling I for Plaintiff.
The conclusion of the court follows:
"If uch an agreement had in fact
been made, it la Improbable that tha
defendant or Hawley would have omit
ted, in tnelr several Interviews, to
have Insisted upon the fulfillment of
uch an agreement. While I hare no
doubt that the defendant and Hawley
had Intended to testify on the trial to
what they understood to be the ar
rangement with the plaintiff. I am con.
strained to find from the testimony of
the plaintiff and Price and from their
subsequent conduct that they are mis
taken. ,
"Decree will therefore be entered in
favor of the plaintiff a prayed for in
the bill." '
The suit was not for the recovery or
money, but simply for annulment of
tha lease. In 1907. however. Mr. Wood
filed a bond In the sum of $150,000 with
the Trustee Securities Company of Se
attle, having assets represented to b
$1,301,000. as surety.
Another Action Pending;.
Another action Instituted by Mr. Plt
tock Is pending against W. D. Wood
and the Trustee Securities Company
for the recovery of the amount due on
the bond. At tha date of bringing; tha
suit for cancellation there was due
upon the lease about $70,000. without
Interest. Including taxes. There are
now due. including taxes and rental,

"In"the boxes presumably a bottle of

be had for a dollar and a man could

A Sag a estiva te the Minister.
I came away from Bumalde street with
a wish and a decision. I wish that tb
prohibition minister of Portland could
see and study the problem of prohibi
tion by spending say every evening for
a week in the North End resorts (and
others), not with a thought of pity for
the regular guests and host and host
esses or of condemnation or with any
feeling of superiority, but simply with
a determination to study the reasons
and motives In a commonsense wy foi
an aspect of life that they preach
against. There are difficulties In tha
way. I know. Mr. So-and-So. who con
tributes $350 a year to the church
treasury, and who haa. a voice In the
policy of the church, would probably
disapprove. Ministers are hired to
preach the word of God. denounce sin
while welcoming sinners, bury the dead
and marry tha living and be socially
the leader of tha church society. So
ciological studies of Vic and Intem
perance are "not part of a minister's
duties and they tend to tarnish his
reputation. It's not conventional, and.
besides. It' only tha beginning of
trouble.

As for Portland when tha citizen
through their city government are will
ing and determined to limit the num
ber of saloons to say 100; to Insist that
any saloonkeeper who violates tha law
shall lose his license and never hold
another, they will have taken one step
Milwaukee. Wis., with a population of
370 odd thousand, haa 143 saloons, ac
cording to the Associated Press re
ports of the census. Portland, with
150.000 less, ha 410 saloons. Milwau
kee proposes to Interest saloon loung
ers In other attractions to an extent.
It would not ruin the taxpayers of
Portland to have public toileta on the
down-town streets, which would lessen
the visits of men to the saloons, where
a drink at the bar la almost Inevitable.
Perhaps It would be dangerous to sug
gest that tha city government be tha
host of thousands of men In search of
recreation by furnishing municipal
dance halls and social centers and even
a municipal theater, to be made self
supporting so far as possible. How
ever, even that socialistic (so-calleu
movement might be cheaper than tho
cost of criminals, neglected children
and poverty-stricken families. Possi
bly It would be better to continue to
trv to drive men by profflbitlon and
kindred laws. Tha city's asset are Its

tion would be made to any disturbance
of the present frsnchlse relating to
rates; or the Incorporation of clauses
w hich may require repairs and Installa
tions to be made within a specified time
after notice has been given the company.
After receiving the reply to the biter

for the company, the committee of the
Council propoees to fix a time when the
users of Pacific phones may appear ana
detail In Just what particulars they have
not been properly served. That meeting
will probably be held November 2i.
The entire matter la the result or an
effort on the part of the Council to se
cure improved telephone service and
was precipitated by numerous complaints
from persona In ail parts or tne city.
Engineer Phillips, -representing the
company, yesterday appeared before the
committee and asserted that the com
pany is doing Us best to keep pace with
the rapid growth of the city.
"We have spent $300,000 in Portland in
the last two years In laying cables." aaid
Sir. Phillips, "and we Intend to spend an
additional $160,000 Immediately In extend
ing the lines to the suburbs. It Is an
engineering feat which requires the most
careful study, so to lay the cables aa to
give the best service.
The cable will carry only so many
wires and ofttlmea the Installation of
phones is delayed by the necessity of
laying new cables. In the outside dis
tricts It Is frequently the case that com
plaints come from people in Isolated
places, where we would have to bear the
expense of a long cable and carrying
poles In order to accommodate the one
customer.
We wish an opportunity to place th's
entire matter before the Council, to have
them examine our plants and to investi
gate thoroughly the entire situation."
Mr. Phillips declared that a delay of
more than 24 hours in making repairs on
an established phone line which was re
ported to be in "trouble" was Inexcusa

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 24. (To the

however, would reflect upon no one

With his personal and private life,
however, we probably have no con

Ellis Falls to Secure Vote to Cancel
One License and Attacks Hon
esty of Others.
After failing to secure a -vote on his
effort to report the license of the Ca
nadian Employment Company for can
cellation. whch would have had the
effect of forcing that company out or
business of supplying ' labor In this
city. Councilman Ellis yesterday
charged that concern, the Pioneer Em
ployment Company, the Pacific . Em
ployment Company and Charles E.
Hansen, Jr., with exercising bad lann
in sending out men who are seeking
positions. The charges were supported
by Deputy City Attorney Sullivan, who
asserted that he was in receipt of doz
ens of complaints every week to the
effect that laborers were not being
squarely treated.
The. case came up on a report from
the City Attorney on the treatment ac
oorded two men who were recently sent
to Estacada to take employment in a
sawmill. They paid $1.50 each for the
Information as to the position, and
later expended $1.60 each In reaching
the scene of their work. After work
ing a portion of a day the men were
laid off. and the mlU ahut down. The
men returned to Portland and asked for
a refund of a portion of the money. they
had paid out. It was refused, together
with an offer of compromise for $1
each.
An attorney representing the Cana
dian Employment Company informed
the committee that the company was
within the law and the city ordinance
regarding a license when It furnished
the men the opportunity to obtain
work. The attorney contended that
the company could not be held respon
sible for the shutting down of the
operations at the logging camp where
the men were sent.
. Mr. Ellis believed that the employ
ment agency was responsible and
called attention to an Instance where
Its proprietor. E. P. McCroskey, had
been reported to have sent men to his
own logging camp in Washington and
then discharged them in order to keep
his employment agency in operation
here.
The Assistant City Attorney asserts
that they are constantly receiving
complaints that employment agencies
are taking money from poor men and
are not rendering an adequate return.
Attorney Sullivan announced his inten
tion of bringing the matter to a head
before the City Council and either se
curing the revocation of all licenses
held by employment agencies against
whom complaints are substantiated or
asking the Council for a new law
which will require specific perform
ance of contract between the agency
and the laborer.
The license committee of the Coun.
ell will take the matter up for an
other investigation on November 7, at
which time all the employment agen
cies under suspicion will be cited S
appear and evidence will be taken from
men who are said to have been duped
into parting viu their funds on prom
ise of securing work.

County, has been freed of charges
against him . alleging burning of sheep

Smith, that the complaints would be dis

Smith could have cleared himself of the
