that the moat flagrant offenders are mes

SITE EXPERT HERE
J. W. Roberts to Make Special
Report on Postoffice.
HILL REPORT QUESTIONED
Belief Is Recommendation of Taft
Appointee Meets With Disap
proval of Treasury Depart
mentMay Choose Block S.
That the selection of a Postoffice site
for the City of Portland, as recom
mended by Dr. J. W. Hill, has not met
with the approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury was made plain yesterday
morning when Joseph W. Roberts, of
San Francisco, reached the Seward Ho
tel. Mr. Roberts Is tne Federal superln
tendent of building construction for the
Pacific Coast. He admits that he is
here in connection with the purchase of
ground by the Government for Postof
fice purposes. That is as far as Mr.
Roberts will go.
"I am under orders to secure certain
additional information desired by the
Secretary of the Treasury in connection
with the Postoffice site." said Mr. Rob
erts last night. "I know nothing of the
report submitted by Dr. Hill, and have
nothing to do with It. I have not culled
uiwn Dr. Hill, and really have nothing
to say on the matter. My report will be
confidential and mill be submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury - soon as I
am through with the mission which
brought me here."
Itoberts Talks but Little.
Superintendent Roberts said he would
call upon Postmaster Merrick this morn
ing. but did not Intimate Just what he
had to say to the Portland official, in
fact, Mr. Roberts refused to talk more
than he could help.
it has been known for some time that
the representatives of the owners -of
block S, chluf among the latter being
Dr. Andrew C. Smith, have been in
Washington to controvert the report that
Dr. HIU, appointed by President Taft to
handle the site selection matter and
whose compensation for the 70 days of
service was approximately 11400, had
turned down block S on the allegation
tUat it was "filled in" ground. Dr.
Smith disputes that statement, and it
is bolleved that Roberts may be here to
Investigate the question.
Roberts Is the man m-ho had much to
do with the building of the Customs
House In Portland, and who constructed
the Postoffice building at San Francisco,
and Is considered an authority. His
reputation was made when the San
Francisco Postoffice building not only
withstood the earthquake of 1906, but the
fire which afterm-ard destroyed the dis
trict on all aides of It.
Knotting that Postmaster Merrick and
Senator Bourne hnd Joined in a recom
mendation of block S because It was the
cheapest site offered mithln 80 rods of
the Grand Central Station, it is general
ly believed that Bourne has helped block
the report submitted by Dr. Hill.
Realty Men Busy on "Tip."
Another rumor was prevalent last night
in real estate circles to the effect, that
Dr. Hill had selected and recommended
the purchase of block 68, bounded by
Tenth and Eleventh streets, Burnslde
and Couch streets. So strong was the
"tip" that real estate men were endeav
oring to make trades on account of It.
The block la a part of the Glisan estate,
under the management of Rodney L. Gli
san, and was not among those offered to
the Government when bids were called
for in August.
Under the Instructions which are said
to have governed Dr. Hill in his labors
of selecting a site, power was given to
report upon sites other than those ten
dered In response to the advertisement.
Knowing these facts to be true, real
estate promoters were inclined to credit
the rumor of the location of the favorite
selection of Dr. Hill.
It Is believed among real estate men
of the city that Mr. Roberts has been
asked to submit a general report upon
certain specific sites without having in
formed the superintendent of construc
tion what Dr. Hill really did recommend
and that when he submits his report it
mill be used as a check against the re-
lort of the special agent appointed by
the President.
Mr. Roberts will be here until Monday
or Tuesday, and perhaps longer. He is
not a Beaver ami admits an inability to
perform his mission when the rain pours

give us about eight Judges, but we hav
only five.
"The plan of making the County Court
also Judge of the Juvenile Court has
been suggested, but it does not meet
with our approval, because the County
Court has not the prestige of the Circuit
Court. People have not as much re
spect for the County Court.
"If we cannot have a bill to our lik
ing, we will help support the bill which
nearest meets our mind. What we want
Is more attention for the boys and girls.
I understood a bill was being prepared
to increase the number of Judges."
AlfreO I Thompson, a member of the
committee on the new law, was in con
sultation with Attorney John F. Logan
about the matter of a new law. Mr.
Logan said yesterday he Is In favor of
increasing the number of Circuit Judges
to seven or eight, and making the Coun
ty Court and Juvenile Court one body.
That he said, would send all family
troubles to the County Court, as that
body already has Jurisdiction over non-
support cases.
He said he is In favor of placing pro
bate business in the Circuit Court In
stead of the County Court, which would
give litigants in estate matters one less
court to which to appeal, and reduce the
amount of red tape. He said he would
also make the County Court the final
arbitrator of all Municipal Court and
Justice Court matters, unless Jurisdic
tional matters were Involved. "Let the
County Court have a Jury of six from
the Circuit Court Jurors, If necessary,"
he said.

CITY ENGINEER CHARGED
R. B. Lamson Says Official Is Dere
lict In Making Repairs.
Charges made by R. B. Lamson that
the City Engineer had forced him to
strengthen a retaining wall on his own
land to protect a street improvement
on Aspen street, on Willamette Heights,
refusing later to make repairs when
the wall gave way and the street im
provement suffered, were taken up by
the street committee of the Executive
Board yesterday afternoon, and, after
a hearing was given them, were re
ferred to the City Attorney to deter
mine the legal status of the matter.
Statements made by Mr. Lamson and
City Engineer Morris at ths hearing
did not agree, but the committee did
not put either man under oath. Mr.
Morris Insisted that his department had
been notified by Mr. Lamson that the
city would not be permitted to go on
his land in order to make a retaining
wall, while Mr. Lamson denied that
such a request had ever been made.
The following from Mr. Lamson's
written complaint to the Executive
Board shows on what his objections are
founded:
That whereas, your petitioner had, for
more than three years last past, a service

has been continuous!" in place, he la now

your petitioner believes, the automobile of
the City Engineer la the only vehicle that
hsa passed over said pavement since same

Mr. Morris, will be submitted to City
Attorney Grant, that he might decid
the legal status of the case.

Plant Elbson rosea Phone Sellwood 960.
Reform in the Juvenile Court law Is
proposed by a committee of business
men In charge of the boys' work of the
Young Men's Christian Association. A
sub-committee has taken the matter up
with E. C. Bronaugh, ex-Judge of the
Juvenile Court, asking him to draft a
suitable bill for a law.
J. C. Clarke, secretary of the bovs'
department, said last night that the
chief trouble mlth the present law is
that it puts the burden of Juvenile
troubles upon the shoulders of a Judge
already overworked mith Circuit Court
business. At present Judge Gatens holds
Juvenile Court on Tuesdsys and Fri
days, beginning at 1:S0 In the afternoon,
after his Circuit Court work Is out of
the may. Sometimes it is necessary to
adjourn In the midst of a case for the
benefit of the Juvenile Court.
Secretary Clarke thinks there should
be another Judge to attend to the Juve
nile Court: snd to be Judge also of the
Circuit Court. He says he believes a
Judge should be elected for this work
for four years. Instead of taking the
work for a year, as Is now done.
"If the Juvenile Court takes all the
j-.idgea time, let him spend all his time
at it." said Clarke, "but If he has time
left to give to Circuit Court duties, let
Mm take such of It as he has time for.
but let the Juvenile Court be made para
mount. Judge Fraxer. when in charge
of the Juvenile Court, took enough time
to attend properly to , Juvenile delin
quents. But the work has been piling
up so high since he died, that the Judge
in charge has hsd hut little time to
give to the boys and girls. Their cases
demand more attention. I understand
there has been hardly a case of con
tributing to the delinquency of a minor
which has been tried In the last two
years This Is not because such cases
do not exist, but because the Judges
haven't time to hear them, and the
Prosecuting Attorney refuses to prose
cure. "Seattle has IS Judges on the Circuit
bench. Ordinarily one Judge la allowed
for every 25,0 inhabitants. That would

County Clerk Fields received a let

corporations before the time expires
In which the city and school districts
may make their levies. C L. Starr,
secretary of the association, suggests
therefore, that last year's levy be used
as a basis, an addition being made
