F awarding lloO.ooo of Broadway

Chtraao, at J.SO; appropriating $00.
!! for the first contract on the bridge;
authorising the City Attorney to take
steps to prevent Frank
fiom further Interfering with tna
Hroa.iw.y bridge project, and by au
tl.orWtng tlie Mayor to negotiate with
t ie Hrrtmn lutneMs for the rights
of wav for the bridge, the Council at
lis meeting yej.ter.Uy morning took
another determined stand In favor or
the project. In appropriating the
money for the bridge the Council an
thorlicd tha executive board to let
the contract for the construction or
t;i sub-structure.
There seems to be nolMtif sertous
now In the way of the early construc
tion of the bridge, for If the bond buy
ers, who reserve the right to reject the
bonds on advice of their attorney, fall
to take tlrem. the city will have on ti e
t an early date another block of bonds
of the same amount, the Council hav
ing authorised yesterday the solicita
tion cf bids for another sale. The only
other feature of the affair that might
in any way Interfere with the project
la the purchase of the rights of way
f..r the bridge from the Harrlman In
terests, but thla cannot be serious as a
failure on the part of the Mayor to
chtatn a suitable orfer from the com
pany for the rights of way will be
followed by condemnation proceeding's
n the court.
Proposed Illghts Valued.
At the opening of the'Cauncll meet
in, yesterday morning Councilman
Tellers read a communication to Mayor
-Iroon from the rommlttee recently ap
pointed by the council to estimate tlie
valuations of the desired rights of way.
The committee, which consists of tewla
Runsell. H. W. Fries and David S.
Stearns, fixed the valuations as fol
lows: "Damage to blocks IT and T sus
lalned by the erection of the approach
:o the bridge on Seventh streets. $73.
o0; overhead crossing through termi
nal yards from Seventh to Kront streeta
with rights to build necessary piers.
:h rights covering about 3O.S0O square
feet. $4.:00: easement for approach
to the Broadway bridge on east side
f the river with 0-foot river front
is;, and about SO feet deep, $:8.000.
This would bring the costs of the
rights of way alone up to a total of
tl 49.200. but Councilman Menefee de
stared the valuations were altogether
too high, and Mayor Simon agreed
with htm.
included In the report of the com
mittee which fixed the valuations for
the rights of way for the bridge, were
estimated valuations of other conces
sions wanted by the city from the
railroads. These valuatlona wera given
as follows:
nighta of wsy for the Sullivan's
gulch sewer. J5000;-atrip of land for
boulevard purposes, containing . about
six acres west of Overlook. $10,000: 3
acres in South Portland for park and
boulevard purposes. 15.000. This
brought the total value of all the con
cessions wanted from the company up
to $33.:00. The Mayor was author
ized to negotiate also for these last
mentioned concessions.
Mayor Will Negotiate.
On motion of Councilman Cellars, a
resolution previously made to Include
City Attorney Grant with the Mayor
In making negotiations for the conces
lions was changed to omit Mr. Grant.
The award of the sale of the bridge
bonds to Parson. Son It Co. was post
poned until Just before the Council
adjourned about 1I::0 o'clock. This
was to permit the company to- make
with the United States National Bank
Its deposit of 123.000 for the bonds. A
telegram had been received early in
the morning from, the company saying
It had sent the required check, but the
Council did not want to take action
until the check was received. The
Mil of this company for the bonds was
;.'. which is more than the amount
named In the bids of the Chicago
bond buyers at, tlie last sale of these
bonds, which failed to be completed
owing to Interference of the purchas
ers' attorney. The bid on the previous
occasion waa S3. 03.

tSCVIi METHODS REVERSED, IS
CHARGED IN SUIT.
Animals, After Pnrehaae, Made to
Appear Bad Bargains and Sold
Again at Loss.
Fine technique In the art of horse
trading la charged against Thomas H.
Murphy. In two civil suits filed In Jus
tice Court yesterday by Attorneys Stra-
nA Craih. In both cases the
! ni.inttff charge that they were mis
led because the horse was made out to
be worse than ha really was. Instead of
better, aa the case usually Is.
Ben Bowden. a farmer, sues Murphy
and Andrew J.' Ghormley. his partner,
for 1100. He says that he bought a
team from Ghormley for 350. When
he went the next day to the stable to
claim his purchase. Ghormley was not
there, but h met Murphy, who con
doled wish him on the bod bargain he
had made.
-Why look here." he says Murphy
said, as he placed hs band upon one
of the horses, which Immediately fell
down In a fit. - Bowden was convinced
that he had made a bad bargain, and
sold the team to Murphy for 1150. He
now alleges that the horse had been
drugged and that he lost his $100 by
misrepresentation.
In the case of I. Teter. a farmer
from Oreiron City, the partners are aald
to hale reversed places. Murphy sold
a horse to Teter for $195. and when
he went to claim It he met Ghormley,
who called to the stablemen to "bring
out the twister." Teter says that a
great pretense was made of mastering
the animal by twitches and other de
vices, whereby he tram Induced to give
up his purchase and accept Ghormley's
note for the amount due him.
Murphy and Ghormley have been the
object of frequent complaints at the
office of the District Attorney, but
their operations have not been found
to be covered by the criminal stat
utes. For dry fir and fcardwood call E 301

NEW SCHOOL BILL
OPPOSED 0YO0ARD
Civic Council's Measure Pro
poses Supervision by
Circuit Court.
DRASTIC CHANGES MADE
Vacancies to Be Filled by Mayor and
Members to Loe Place for
Xon-Atlendanoe Election
Dates Unchanged.
That the Circuit Court, at the In
stance of any member or officer of
the Board of Education or upon peti
tion of 10 taxpayers. must ' undertake
a thorough investigation of the official
acts of such Board of Education. Is one
of the most drastic provisions In the
draft of a new school lnw. designed for
application to districts having a popu
lation of 100.000 or more, prepared by a
committee of the Civic Council.
The draft la the outcome of the de
liberation of the members of the Hoard
of Education of School District No. 1.
and the Clvlo Council committee. It
wtll be presented to the members of
the Board of Education in the hope or
approval before being forwarded to
Salem for legislative consideration. It
Is doubtful, however, whether It can
reach the State Capitol In time, as there
Is some difficulty in obtaining a full
meeting of the Board of Education. The
board Is known to be opposed to the
measure practically in Its entirety.
Auditor Is Provided Eor.
The title of the official now known
as Superintendent of Supplies Is
changed to Commissioner of School
Buildings, his term of ofTlce is fixed nt
four years "and his powers considerably
enlarged. Provision .Is also made for
an Auditor, who shall devote his entire
time to the Board of Education's work
and wose duties shall be much the
same as those of a. County or City
Auditor. Both these officials shall be
appointed by the board. At present
the School Clerk, although he em
ploys a bookkeeper. Is responsible for
the proper accounting of school funds.
This responsibility would be trans
ferred to the Auditor, except that "the
clerk shall have a general supervision
over the fiscal affairs of the public
schools of the city, the collection and
payment of funds to the school de
pository, and the disbursement of all
revenue and moneys belonging to the
board."
The funds of the Board of Education
would be handled as are those of the
city. A depository would be selected oy
the board on the opening of bids from
banks and trust companies, stating
what rate of interest would be paid and
what security deposited as a guarantee
of the safety of the money. The pro
posed law falls, however, to mention
what relation the value of the security
should bear, to the amount of money on
deposit.
Ejection Dates Not Changed.
The Intention to have the dates of
the school and city elections correspond
has evidently not been carried out. as
the old date, the third Monday In June.
Is retained. Tha municipal election, ac
cording to the city charter, takes place
the first Monday in June. This Is
probably a concession to the members
of the Board of Education, all of whom
objected to the possible introduction of
politics into school questions. The only
change made Is that two of the five
members of the board shall be elected
one year and the remaining three the
year following, and the term of office
Is shortened from five to two years. At
present on member of the board retires
snd his successor is .elected each year.
It is also provided that the provisions
of the general election laws shall apply,
necessitating the maintenance of regis
tration books, etc The School Clerk
shall perform the duties of registration
clerk and all other duties performed by
a ' Countv Clerk, the Commissioner of
School Buildings shall perform the
duties provided by the general election
lews to be performed by the C-unt7
Sheriff, and the Board of Education
shall perform all the duties, such as
canvassing the vote, usually performed
by the County Court.
All vacanclea In the Board of Educa
tion are to be filled by the Mayor, not
by the remaining members of the
board. Failure of a member to appear
at the board meetings three consecu
tive times shall constitute a vacancy,
unless absence-shall have been occa
sioned for reasons considered reason
able and valid by the remaining mem
bars of the board. The present law
Is silent on this point.
Teachers Removal Regulated.
Power Is given the Superintendent
of Public Instruction, the new name
under which the Superintendent of City
Schoola would be known, to suspend a
teacher temporarily. The 1oard shall
later take such action on such suspen
sion aa It may deem proper. Where It
Is now provided that a teacher must
be notified of the reasons for suspen
sion or discharge, the new law makes
such notification obligatory only upon
application of the teacher. A teacher
may demand a hearing and the power
of subpenaing all necessary witnesses
Is given to the clerk, a power which he
does not now possess. All evidence
must be taken under oath, which la an
Innovation.
The board may remove any teacher,
with or without a hearing, by a four
nrthe vote, if the character, mental at
titude, disposition or qualifications of
such teacher are unsatisfactory. All
appointments and promotions' of teach
ers shall be made upon merit, the sys
tem of determining which, by examina
tions and length and character of ser
vice, is fully set forth In the act.
"All appointments, promotions and
transfers of teschers and Introducing
and changing of text books and ap
paratus," saya the proposed law, "shall
be made only upon the recommendation
of the Superintendent and approval of
the board." At present the Superinten
dent acts only In an advisory capacity.
The Commissioner of School Build
ings would also be autocratic In the
appointment of Janitors and other sub
ordinates, except that the board might
hold civil service or other examinations
and require hint to select from the list
of successful candidates. One of his
deputies must be cspable of "construct
ing the heating, lighting, ventilating
and sanitary machinery and apparatus
connected with the public school build
ings." The Commissioner would also
have the right to let all contracts un
der 150 without consulting the board,
except In cases of emergency, when his
powers would extend to the expendi
ture of $100. He would also arrange
for advertising and superintend the let
ting of contracts. (

Despair and Despondency
No one but a woman can tell the story of the suffering, the -desjair,
and the despondency endured by women who carry
a daily burden of ill-health and pain because of disorders and
derangements of the delicate and important organs that are
distinctly feminine. The tortures so bravely endured com
pletely upset the nerves if long continued.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for '
weakness and disease of the feminine organism.
It is non-secret, non-alcoholic and has a record of forty years of cures.
Ask Youb Neighbors. They probably know of some of its many cures.
If you want a book that tells all about woman's diseases, and how to cure
them at home, send 21 one-cent stamps to Dr. Pierce to pay cost of mailing

fense Asserts Measure Had
. Not Become Statute.
When a law is passed by the voters
of the stafe does it go Into effect when
the polls close, or not until the vote Is
canvassed officially, and proclamation
of the result is made by the Governor?
That Is the question put to Federal
Judge Bean yesterday morning, and
which he has under advisement. The
question was put in connection with
the newly-adopted employes' liability
act.
The question arose in the suit of
Wallace N. Bradley, of Spokane,
against the Union Bridge & Construc
tion Company to recover under the em
ployers' liability law S25.000 damages
for the death of Roy E. Bradley, son
of the plaintiff.
..Roy Bradley, 20 years old, was work
ing for the construction company on
the new O.-W. R. & N. bridge across
the Willamette. On the night of No
vember 9 he attempted to step from one
barge to another, but because the
barges were not lighted, he misjudged
the distance, fell into the river and
was drowned.
Although the accident occurred only
the day after the election when the em
ployers' liability law passed, Mr. Brad-,
ley 8 attorney Drought tne suit unaer
the new law, quoting that portion of
It which says that employers shall "use
every device, care and precaution prac
ticable to use for the protection and
safety of life and limb, limited only by
the necessity for preserving the effi
ciency of the structure, machine or oth
er. apparatus or device, and without re
gard to the additional cost of suitable
material or safety appliances and de
vices." The polntraised w-as that the barges
should have been lighted. The attor
ney for the construction company in
terposed a. demurrer, saying the law
was not in effect at that time. The de
cision of the court in this case will
effect other Initiative measures which
became laws but do not clto dates
when they shall become effective.
