ARSON CHARGE PROBABLE RrprenlatlT of -Sctco Itotlrrr Companies Accnwd sa Leader or I -aw Violator Promt Made to Police Is Broken. Cnucht In aa unexpected daylight raid by the police yeeUniar afternoon, Chi ree sanabters at 3 North Third rtreet. tteApted to eerape armrt by burning the evidence, while part of their number held the door mralnet the Intruder, and la doing mo t the house afire. - Whm Sergeant Riley and Patrolmen Moloney and Burke battered at the door, the lottery ttrketa and counter were thrown Into a pan of anbei and limited. Tbe flimsy paper burned bfiasJy and the Cameo started up the wall. Tbe police succeeded tn breaking In after a ahort dalar. and while the other officers ar rested the Inmates. Patrolman Moloney applied himself to putting out tbe blase. In doing so he suffered serere burns ou h'.s band. In addition to the gambling charge, a complaint cbarglnr arson may be placed against the Chinese. The leader of the three men taken pri soner was Tot Tel. who for many ratfca gave, the police trouble, but who announced a abort time ago that be waa was arrested several times and was fined for gambling, but appealed each case to the Circuit Court until repeated arreeti frightened him with tnelr cumulative penalties. About two month ago. tMtng arrested again, ne consented to with draw the appeals snd pay three flnrs. lie conducted a tailor shop, whlcb was used as a screen for the lottery game. It Is charged that Tol Tol represents seven lottery companies doing business In this city. lie explafned the secrecy surrounding his sbop by saying that ue had many union men among hla tu toraers who dtd not wish It known tbat they patronised a Chinese. Raids Are Surprise. Sudden activity on the part of Cap tain Baty and the officers of the day re lief took Chinatown completely by sur prise yesterday, when two successful raids were made under the command of Sergeant Rllry. Plainclothes officer working at night had reported that many places known to be gambling dens were deserted during the hours of their duty. but showed signs of being operated at other hours. Acting upon' this hint. Captain Baty set a squad of men to work. In a short time they succeeded in rushing a house at SI Second street, just across from tbe police station. Eight men were arrested and stakes amounting to nearly S?00 were seised. Tbe gamblers were re leased upon ball of 160 each. Activity of the dsy officer will not be 'abated as long as there Is any evi dence thst tbe games are running on their shift. T GOOD F0RCHILDREN.

Special Council Committee Objects, However, to Request to Extend Limit of Bars to 60 Feet. After a long verbal struggle with the members of the special committee of the City Council appointed to draft an amended liquor ordinance. Paul Wee singer, manager of Wetnhard's brewery, yesterdar morning succeeded in hav ing the time limit for tbe operation of saloons under powers of attorney ex tended one year further, to the end of December. 191J. A special meeting of the committee was called to hear Mr. Wesstnger's arguments. Wessinger also succeeded In having the Wei n herd brewery excepted from the clause which forbids the sale of liquor within 400 feet of a school build Ins;. The Welnhard brewery la within a stone's throw of the Portland School of Trades, which occupies the block bounded by Eleventh snd Twelfth streets and Couch and Davla streets. Mr. Wessinger said that his brewery. which controls about 60 powers of at torney. Is willing to accept responsi bility for the proper operation of the saloons conducted under them, but the committee failed to amend tbe penalty clauses so as to make the nominal and real owners of the saloons operated In this manner equally responsible In of violation of the law. The special committee was besieged by representatives of clubs, saloons, family liquor stores, breweries and wholesale liquor establishments, each requesting some change In the ordi nance. An attempt was made to have the length of bars changed from 60 to CO feet. The clnb representatives pro tested against the clause demanding j that clubs hereafter pay a (license fee of (300 each to the city. All that they now require Is a Federal license, which costs t2i. The question has also 'arisen as to whether or not the committee has the right to make any. further changes in the ordinance, it having already been submitted to the whole Council with passage recommendation and a special meeting; having been called for tomor row to consider it. It was finally agreed that the changes would have to be submitted In the form of suggested amendments to the committee's orig inal report. There is a possibility that the Conn cu may not see fit to accept any iurther alterations. Several Council men are known to be In favor of the adoption of the measure as originally reported by the special committee.

Officials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., Including; B. S. Josselyn and F. I. Fuller, will hold s. conference this afternoon at the City Hall with the special committee ap pointed by the City Council to 'report on the question of franchise abandon ments by the company. The object of the .meeting is to se cure, if possible, an amicable settle ment of the difficulty between the city and the company, thus relieving the city of the necessity of going; into court to enforce the demand that Uie com pany pay its proportion of She cost of hare -surfacing the streets over which it was given franchises and which It later abandoned. City Attorney Grant said yesterday that tut was prepared to tight the matter out In the courts if the company did not see Its way clear to tnee the city s demands. Both Mr. Grant and J. P. Kavanaugh. who was his predecessor as City At torney, have held the abandonment of a franchise by tire, company does not release the company from its obliga tion to pay its share of the cost of paving streets abandoned. Each of them has further held that the com pany has not even the right to .remove ts tracks from a street or cease' op eration over it. Speaking of the forth coming conference yesterday City At torney Grant said: 'The Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. Is required by the franchises which It holds to pave between the tracks and one 'foot towards the curb from the outer rail on each side and. In the case of a double track, between the two sets of rails. Foe the past three or four years, however, the com pany has been In the llablt of remov ing Its track from a thoroughfare when a decision was reached to pave such thoroughfare, or taking up one of the two tracks. As I Bee It, the object of this was to avoid payment of the company s just proportion of the costs of hard surfacing. I am convinced that the company cannot shirk Its financial responsibilities in this manner. We are willing to adjust the matter amicably with the officers of the company, thus saving the labor and expense of legal actions. "The company removed a track from Nineteenth street, between Savier and Wilson streets; one from Second street, south of Sheridan; a third from East Twenty-eighth street, and a fourth from Halsey street. We contend that the railway company should pay a part of the cost of the East Twenty-eighth street bridge. East Eleventh, between Hawthorne and Powell streets, was also abandoned. On Thirteenth and Eleventh streets, between Morrison street and Montgomery street, the lines were narrowed to single track. Double tracks were also abandoned on Four teenth street In North Portland. "In some instances, the costs of the Improvements In which the railway company should have shared have been borne by the city, but in the majority or instances by the abutting property owners." ' NEW LAW PUZZLES PEOPLE Whole Xumber of Votes Cast for Justices Is Problem. Questions raised over apparently Ir reconcilable provisions of the state con stitution pertaining to initiative petitions, placing the required number of signa tures on such measures at 8 per cent of the whole number of votes cast for Jus tice of the Supreme Court, and the re cent election which two' sets of Jus tices were voted for, making It difficult to determine the "whole number" of votes cast, have caused attorneys to think. A deluge of inquiries has been hurled at the Attorney-General and sponsors for the initiative and referendum are as much perplexed over the peculiar situa tion as any of the less enlightened lay men. "It Is a peculiar situation." said Martin Pipes yesterday, "and the provisions of the law are difficult to understand un der the present situation. However, I doubt if the condition that has brought about so much questioning will abolish the initiative and referendum. The courts may be called upon to decide the question, but, in my opinion, a petition containing enough names to place the number above all estimates of 8 per cent of what constitutes the whole number of votes cast for Justice of the Supreme Court, would be legal. A petition con taining signatures above the highest fig ure would make it safe." MISSOURI MAN IS INSANE Lunatic Held at Astoria Wants to Kill W. F. Spottswood. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 19. (Special.) Henry McSpaden, ,who arrived here about three weeks ago, evidently almost di rect from St. Joseph. Mo., was examined by the County Board today and com mitted to the State Insane Asvlum. McSpaden is a native of New Jersey, 47 years of age, and escaped from the asy lum at St. Joseph last September. He has also been confined in tbe asylum at Lincoln, Neb., and at other places. He appears to be afflicted with a homi cidal mania and is especially bitter at W. F. Spottswood. of Kansas City, who is the mans trustee, having charge of the estate left by the latters mother. It is probable that the state authorities will send McSpaden back to the Missouri asylum.
