The Hotel North Bend and an. nex Is entirely In ruins, as a result of the fire last night.' The origin Is un known. Fortunately there was consider able distance between the hotel and the adjoining building, but the flames crossed the street on several occasions and It was only by the heroic efforts of the fire-fighters that the White House store and the livery stable on the 'opposite side of the- street were saved. They were on fire several times. but the firemen on each occasion were successful In subduing the blaze be fore It reached the Interior of the build ings.

Third and Madison sts. i was yesterday acquitted as the result of an Instructed verdict. Following six hours of Intense argu ments over points of law. Circuit Judge Morrow held that Rosenberg's lawyers were correct In their legal contentions. Dispensing with further procedure in the matter. Judge Morrow called In the Jury and Instructed the 12 men who were trying Rosenberg to find him not guilty. This formality over, Rosenberg was released from custody. Several rela tives and friends were present to con gratulate him. For since the state has no right of appeal In such matters. It will be impossible to proceed further against Rosenberg. Close Questions Considered. Several fine points oflaw were con sidered by the Court In making the rul ing. But the decision centered largely about the issue of corroborative evi dence. Mrs. Nettle Hall, mother of Rosenberg's victim, told a story on the witness stand of finding her daughter's body In Rosenberg's private office. Judge Morrow found that the mother's pitiable tale lacked the legally required potion of corroboration. "The rule Is," said the Court, "that an inference cannot be based upon an In ference. As the testimony has been presented, we have to infer first that the defendant knew the girl was en ceinte, and secondly that he Intended an abortion. There la no testimony that the doctor ever knew her condition. That can be deduced only by infer ence. "The testimony does not reasonably tend to show," Judge Morrow added, "that any lawful act was committed without due caution or circumspection, or tend to prove the commission of any unlawful act whatever." The motion for a directed verdict was presented Thursday afternoon by Rosenberg's lawyers on the grounds that the State had failed eomplly by testimony to show the commission of a crime and particularly the crime of murder as charged In the grand Jury's Indictment. Involved arguments fol lowed In which voluminous authorities were presented. Prosecution Is Vigorous. In replying. Deputy District Attor neys Fitzgerald and Collier, who made n able and spirited fight for convic tion, took their stand under Section 1750. of tha Oregon Code, which says: jsvery other killing or a human being by the act, procurement of culpable negligence of another, when such kill ing Is not murder In the first or second degree or Is not Justifiable or excus able as provided In this chapter, shall be deemed manslaughter." The States attorneys contended that the evidence had clearly shown these facts. That a- girl 20 years of age had been taken to Dr. Rosenberg's office: that Dr. Rosenberg put her under chlor oform and killed her; that while no one was present, the circumstances and facts clearly established Rosenberg's culpability; that even If there were no proof of negligence or unlawful pur pose, the facta Indicated the chloroform was given for no grod purpose. The plea of the State's attorneys was that the Jury be permitted to pass on the case. The 12 men of the Jury were visibly affected by Mrs. Hall's comnell- lng story of finding her girl's dead body in Dr. Rosenberg's office. Prosecuting Witness Kails. Had not one of the state's witnesses gone back on his first story, the ruling made by Judge Morrow would not have been neceseary or possible. Elmer Erlck son. the youth responsible for Vera Hall's condition and wfo took her to Rosen berg office, first told' that he took her there for an operation.. On the witness stand be Insisted that she :d been suf fering merely from a minor hemorrhage of the nose. Had he kept to the truth, the' prosecuting officers say, Rosenberg's knowledge of the girl's condition would have been shown. That would have wept away one of the maze of techni calities. This same end could have been effected except for another set rule of procedure providing: that conversations bearing on the case and not held In the presence of the accused person cannot be repeated as testimony. But for that rule the mother could have shown young Erickson's knowledge of the girl's condition, a knowledge which he. dnnled completely qn the witness Mand. Just what Inspired the girl's betrayer to change his story and protect Rosenberg Is a matter of speculation. While declining to state for publication his Innermost beliefs as to Rosenberg's guilt or innoconre. Judge Morrow said the ruls of l.iw that made necessary the directed verdict In this case might pr,h sibly fall short of common Justice in tills particular instance, but that in thousands of other cases the same rules would be absolutely required. Defense Otherwise Cnrevcaled. No testimony was presented in Rosen berg's behalf nor was a plan of defense, except in technicalities, indicated at any time during the trial. Rosenberg's law yers represented in argniment that the girl might have been suffering from ail ments which the practitioner found Im possible to diagnose without use of an anesthetic. Alleging that the pres had sought to prejudice the public mind against Rosen berg and had printed biased and unfair accounts hearing on his arrest. Indict ment and trial, the acquitted man's law yers asked the court to cite representa tives of the tarlous -newspapers' in Port land to show cause why they should not be found In contempt of court. R. E. Moody, one of the attorneys, thought It high time to muzzle the press and sug gested that unless the courts acted along these linos It would be necessary for some of the lawyers to get together and attempt a tooth-pulling feat on the de mon of irtibllclty. Numerous copies of newspapers were handed to Judge Mor row, who said he would read the accounts of the Rosenberg trial and decide later about the advisability of citing newspa per writers and editor? for contempt. TONNAGE TAX ADVISED MOW PLAN I'KGED TO I1IUXG VESSELS TO PORTLAND. Revenue Would Be Increased and City Advertised Afar, Say Ad- . vocatcs of Measure. To make the Port of Portland th most satisfactory In the world and par tlcularly the most satisfactory upon th Pacific Coast, the promotion committee of the Commercial Club has under con sideratlon the preparation of a law which will change the entire method of assessment of vessels registered in thl Jiarbor. It is proposed to place all boats upon a tonnage basis and no upon the value of the property. Under the present law the Assessor can assess the vessels In the harbor upon the same basis that he wonld as sess a house or lot. It Is contended by the committee and by F. R. Hill, for merly of Duluth, but now a residen of Portland, that as an advertising plan and as a producer of revenue it would far exceed any other plan which could be devised. Boat owners In every har bor on the Coast would seek to regis ter their boats In this port. Mr. Hill said that Duluth tried the plan of as sessing each boat 3 cents for each ton of capacity and that when the law was passed, seven years ago, only 30 boats on the Great Lakes were registered from Duluth. In that seven years the number Of boats had grown from 30 to 450. Two things had been accomplished, said Mr. Hill. One was that all over the lakes the boats carried upon their bow end the words "From Duluth. Minn." The other was that the tax revenues had been trebled from that source alone He expressed the belief that If Portland would adopt the plan It would have five times the receipts from taxation and the name of Portland would be seen In all ports of the Coast.

Some 73 persons who went down In Oie Siletz country a year and a half ago and took up timber claims are about to receive in the neighborhood of JlO.OfiO each for their holdings. A majority of the entry men are Portland people and the land Is held in one piece. It com prises about 10,000 acres and is situated in Township 7 south. Range 9 west. Wil lamette meridian, and is in Lincoln County. Estimates based on cruises place the amount -of timber on the land at 700,000,000 feet, and the sale is on a basis of Jl a thousand feet, so the amount of money involved in the deal Is JTOO.OfK). The identity of the purchasers Is not revealed. The township was unsurveyed when the entrymen jvent there to locate, so they squatted, camping out In the woods until the survey was mado and the land was opened by the Government. They all made their filings in the Portland Land Office in March, 1310. Pooling Agreement Made. After they had obtained patent a meet ing was held by the entrymen, which all attended, and a pooling agreement was formed. They pledged themselves t act together and not to sell until a stipulated price could be obtained. The price agreed on has now been offered. It was fur ther agreed that any number of the pool who might find a purchaser should receive $35,000 as commission. Five per cent of J700.000 Is $35,000, and to earn this fat fee there has been a pretty thorough canvass of possible large purchasers of timber by members of the pool. J. Hyland and B. W. Jones were finally successful, and under the style of the Hyland-Jones Company they have had printed a contract of sale which Is being generally signed by the entrymen. The contract provides for the placing of $5000 in escrow In a Portland bank by February 1 to apply on the purchase price, and $3000 further to be expended in cruising the timber. Payment Due July 1. It is further provided that if the con ditions are satisfactory 30 per cent of the entire purchase price is to be paid by July 1, when the land will be taken over. The cruises are to be on the basis of those already made by Cuslck & Cox, cruisers employed by the entrymen. , Most of the entrymen hold 160 acres, while several have 120 acres and a few only 80 acres. The timber is fir, spruce, cedar and larch. The following are among the entrymen and members of the pool: Robert L. Fuller, George B. Tucker, George E. Frost, Jr., Job Mc Leod, George A.

The animal husbandry department of Oregon Agricultural College yesterday received the first shipment of fancy livestock that is to be brought to Cor vallis for the use of the students In the short Winter courses. The ship ment yesterday was from the Cralglea farm of Frank Brown, of Carlton, Or., and consisted of five Southdown ewes, ram and four shorthorn cattle.

Among the shorthorns a white bull, apato, which cre ated such a favorable impression at the short course last year. The students have so far been using the college stock In their classes, but -will work on outside stock very largely during the remainder of their course. Several shipments of horses and swine are to arrive soon.

By sending to the Executive Board for valuations the ordinance granting the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company a franchise to sell electricity within the city, the street committee of the City Council yesterday afternoon placed its approval on the ordinance. After the Executive Board acts on the franchise, it will go to the Council for final adoption. No action was taken on the proposed franchise for the same company for a street railroad. Several new clauses for the protection of the city were placed in the ordinance yesterday, upon recommendation ot city Attorney Grant. The more important of these Is the provision preventing the Mount Hood Company from merging or entering into any agreement with any similar concern to limit competition. City Attorney Grant also had included In the franchise a provision, required by the charter, that the Council should have the right at any time to fix the rates to be charged for electricity. At torney Fulton, representing the com pany, made objection to having mat clause included in the franchise, argu ing that even If It were In the charter It should not be included in the fran chise, but his objections were over ruled. Then he wanted It changed so as to add the words "Just and reason able," to qualify the sentence requiring the fixing of rates and this was allowed by the committee over the objections of the City Attorney. It was recommended by Mr. Grant that the ordinance be so arranged as to require the company to furnish a cer tain number of lights to the city free and to limit the amount to be charged for street lights, but the committee failed to authorize this provision. B. 8. Josselyn, president of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, asked the committee to pass -an ordi nance exempting the Oregon City cars from the use of the automatic fenders, and, he was told to have a new ordi nance with that provision prepared and presented to the committee.
