To prevent all the property ha ha
acquired from going to his two daugh
ters, to whom. In a spirit of friendli
ness and good will, be says he Issued
promissory notes representing the
value of the property. Chrla Von Lo
dlges testified In his own behalf In
Judge Kavanaugh'a court yesterday,
relating many domestic troubles thst
have overshadowed bis life.
Lodlgea came to Oregon with no
capital six years ago and .since has
acquired property valued at 15000. He
had left hla family In Germany and
bis repeated efforta t get his wlfo to
loin him In Portland were fruitless.
At last, finding that hla wife would
not Join him. Iidlges secured a divorce
from her on the grounda of desertion.
On the witness stand yesterday Lo
dlgea said that It aeemed to him that
It waa due to hla wlfe"a discovery that
he had acquired some property here
that she wrote him an appeal to be
taken back and forgiven. The appeal
had lta effect, and he sent the money
for her to come to Portland. When
she arrived. Lodlgea aaya. she refuted
to live In the five-room house he had
prepared for her and the children.
Not long after Iodlges" wife returned
to him she became homesick for Ger
many and. he declared, made such a
constant plea to return to that coun
try he finally agreed that she ahould
do so. After providing money for her
and the girls to go back, he waa In
duced, he aaya. by the girls to give each
of them a promissory note for 1:500.

his property, which already had two
minor mortgages. The notes were
given, he said, with the understanding
that one of the girls. Elsie, should re
main with him. while the other ahould
go with her mother.
At thla time Idlges waa driving a
milk wagon, and when he returned
home late one evening he found that
the entire family had deserted him.

JURY PLAN ENTICES

Taking of Civil Sulla to State Circuit
Court for Kasler Verdicts
Is Condemned.
The recent Oregon law providing for
acceptance of three-fourths Jury ver
dicts In civil suits In the State Cir
cuit Courts, while the law governing
Federal cases requires a full Jury for
a verdict, has led to a plan on the part
of attorneys to obtain the trial of cases
In the State circuit Courta where they
think It will be advantageoua to their
clients.
In personal Injury damage suits,
where the corporation la organized out
side the state, and Is therefore a non
resident. It has been the practice to
make the foreman a party defendant,
and ao retain the" case In the slate
court.
In a decision yesterday morning
Federal Judge Bean condemned this
practice.
"tfince tbe state Judiciary amend
ment was passed." said Judge Bean,
"the temptation to Join In personal
injury actions a local defendant with
a non-resident, to prevent removal of
the case to this court Is so great as
to Invite the closest scrutiny aa to
whether In fact and In law the action
Is baaed on a Joint cause of action, or
simply a simulated one. When a party
baa in fact a Joint cause of action
against tort feasors, his motive In
Joining them In the absence of bad
faith la Immaterial, and the cause can
not be removed to this court by a non
resident defendant." ,
The case In which this point arose
waa that of D. J. Shaver, administra
trix of the estate of Gilbert Shaver,
against the Pacific Coast Condensed
Milk Company and Benjamin Smith.
Gilbert Shaver. 14 years old. was
killed In an elevator accident. Suit was
filed In the State Circuit Court, alleg
ing the elevator waa not constructed
properly or guarded. The corporation
obtained removal of the case to the
Federal Court. The plaintiff sought to
have it returned to the state court.
The Judge said the petlt'on for re
moval, and proof accompanying It do
not show Smith waa In fact the fore
man. "The Joining of Smith aa defendant."
he sold, "la wrongful on account of a
legal fraud upon this court. The mo
tion to .remand Is overruled.

Intimating strongly that the people of
the North Kast Side might yet defeat
the Broadway bridge, the very opposite
of the result they wlslk Mayor Simon
yesterday demanded to know of a large
committee from Kast Side clubs, which
walled upon him, whether they had re
ferred to him as the "higher up" who Is
obstructing the progress of the span.
Not one said he was the man, but those
who spoke In reply cleared him of all
connection with obstructionists and laid
the blame on the O.-W. R. ft N. Com
pany, the City Council. Frank Klernan.
W F Tttinll r V llonr. na Attn.-.
ner Dunlwav.
Mnyor Flnion indicated that, unless the
members of the North Kast Side Im
provement Club and other similar or
ganizations delist from their course In
Insinuating that he Is In reality obstruct
ing the Broadway bridge, he will be un
able to proceed much further. It Is
within his power t- annul the present
contract with the Union Bridge & Con
struction Company for the substructure,
as. In drawing up the contract, he in
serted a clause for the protection of the
city. In case the bonds are not (Old and
the money Is not realized.
That the continual passing of resolu
tions and discussion about obstruction
by "higher ups" by East Side Improve
ment associations has resulted in much
Injury to the Broadway bridge project.
Mayor Simon made plain to the com
mittee, which in headed by M. G.
Munly, one of the chief advocates of
the span. The Major said he had gone
out of his way as Chief Executive of
the city to promote the project and de
clared he is tired of the abuse that has
been heaped upon him.
Mayor Tells Help Given.
From the very first." declared the
Mayor. "1 have done everything I could
to promote thla bridge project. I tried
to raise the necessary money to start
the work by subscriptions and subscribed
thereto myself; I also persuadod my
brothers and some friends to subscribe.
I have negotiated with the railroads and
have facilitated the hrid-re In every way
that I can as Mvor and aa a citizen.
Not only have I tried to provide the
funds for the work, but I assumed a very
grave responsibility when I signed the
contract for the substructure before the
cash was In the city treasury. I am
financially responsible and it required a
good deal of determination to take the
chances which I took. Nov, gentlemen,
after doing all of these things, tt does
not set very well with me to be called
an obstructionist and for you to be
throwing out all kinds of Innuendoes
sgalnst me; saying that I have tied the
hands of the City Attorney and that I
don't want to build the bridge. It strikes
me you are Injuring your own project
more than you are me."
Mr. Munly replied that he had never
referred to the Mayor as being the
"higher up" who is obstructing the
bridge project, explaining that in all of
bis public and private utterances he
referred to others.
There Is a prevailing Impression
among the people." said Mr. Munly.
"that the O.-V.'. R. & N. Company is
behind the obstructionists and while it
perhaps could not be proved, there is
reason to believe It la true. I told Mr.
QfBrien this a year ago and he got
pretty wrathy. I have never, however,
had reference to you aa the 'higher up.' "
Mayor Simon then cited an article
which charged him with double-dealing:
with being an attorney for the railroad
company; with betng secretary of the
North Pacific Terminal Company, and of
being opposed to the construction of the
Broadway bridge, and other similar
things. After denying every charge, the
Mayor said:
Speeches ITase Attack.
"Now. I do not presume to hold you
gentlemen directly responsible for this
article, for this paper will publish any
thing for the sake of a sensation, but
I do charge you with being indirectly
responsible for It. Tou. by your insin
uations and Innuendoea and your pass
ing of resolutions and by your speeches
at your meetings, furnish a foundation
for this trashy stuff, and I tell you that
you are hurting your own cause more
than you are hurting me. I have noth
ing to ask. no favors to seek and I do
not need the bridge, but I am trying to
help you people who do need It. Now,
after doing my best to get the bridge
for you. after adopting the type of
bridge you aaked me to adopt, after ap
pointing the consulting engineer you ,
asked me to appoint, ana aner aoing nn
I can. I don't like to be called an ob
structionist." YV. C. North, vice-president of the
North East Side Improvement Associa
tion, who declared last week at a meet
ing of that organization that "some
higher up' waa holding up legal pro
ceedings by the City Attorney." was
asked by Mayor Simon to whom he re
ferred. Mr. North said he had reference
to the City Council, and said he con
firmed his atatement the following
morning when he was told by the City
Attorney that a committee of the Coun
cil had aaked him to withhold the filing
of condemnation sulta for the bridge
approaches pending the outcome of ne
gotiations to be reported on tomorrow.
Council Direction Denied.
"Well, what has that to do with me?"
asked the Mayor.
"If you direct the Council, it has." was
Mr. North's reply.
"Well, you know I do not direct the
Council." replied the Mayor. "Further
more, the request of the committee was
made In open and public session, with
good reasons: negotiations pending be
tween the committee and the company
might result favorably to the early ad
justment of the case at Issue: you led
people to believe at your meeting when
you mentioned 'higher up' that some
one under cover, but high In authority,
waa dqlng this obstructionist work."
Various members of the committee
poke, disclaiming any responsibility for
the allegations and Insinuations against
the Mayor and the members of the com
mittee said they have given him credit
for being friendly to the bridge and of
trying to further It aa rapidly as pos
sible. "If you people on the North East Side
would devote one-tenth of the energy to
helping me to sell the bonds for the
bridge that you have been doing In de
faming me and In spreading statements
damaging to me as a man and as Mayor,
we might have been a good deal further
along," the Mayor concluded.
The Mayor said that it Is money and
money alone that Is needed to build the
bridge. He urged the committee to as
sist the city In disposing of Its bonds
for the purpose and not to discredit tbe
Mayor and to misconstrue and misinter- ;
pret his actions and to give circulation
to bits of sensational rumor.
Borrcll Case Argued.
Arguments In the case of W. F. Bur
rell to enjoin the city from continuing
the contract for the construction of the
Broadway bridge were begun before Pre
siding Judge Gantenbeln, of the State
Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon, and
will be completed thla morning.
Attorney Duniway, representing Mr.
Burrell. contended that the contract for
the substructure of the bridge, given to
the Union Bridge & Construction Com
pany, waa not In accordance with the
law. no mHluiuilcu liiml mo wajw. '
entered Into a aecret agreement with
Ralph Modjeskl by which Mr. Modjeskl
was to receive, supposedly. $50,000 for
serving aa supervising engineer of the
bridge, and contended that the charter
made It necessary for the City Engineer
to do that work. He also said the con
tract would cause a waste of $100,000.
Juda-e Gantenbeln ruled that the law
authorizing, the const rifction of - the J
bridge permitted the city to employ nec- J
eesary engineering talent. Attorney ,
Duniway argued that such Is necessary
only whon the City Engineer Is not com
petent to perform the work.
Deputy City Attorney Benbow' opened
the argument. He said there was noth
ing in the complaint to show that Mr.
Burrell had In any way been Injured
by the proceedings of the city.

yesterday. Emphasis will be laid upon the

"Few lnrtltuLIons of learning have

before us. much can be accomplished In
the establishment of such en institution
of learning in Portland. We propose to

Our catalogue will seek for merit, rather
than something to explain or apologize
for. It will aim to be thorough. We are
convinced that a college of liberal arts

we shall build three buildings and we be

COTTON YET IN QUANDARY
Harrlman Attorney Sees No Hope of
Adjusting Bridge Tangle.
When the sub-committee of the
street committee of the City Council
meets this morning to hear a report
from W. W. Cottqn. general attorney
for the Harrlman railroads, on the
subject of granting the city the east
approach to the Broadway bridge and
Immunity from damages to blocks "U"
and "V on the West Side in exchange
for certain streets that the railroad
wishes to cross In reaching Its new
steel bridge at Gllsan street. It is not
likely that they will add much to the
knowledge they gleaned from their
conference with Mr. Cotton last Fri
dav afternoon.
"I have been giving the subject very
little thought since the last meeting."
said Mr. Cotton yesterday, "and don't
know what report I will have to make.
I wish some well-informed citizen
would come in here and tell me what
to say to those gentlemen tomorrow
morning. They have made a certain
proposition, which I could not accept
last Friday, and I don't think that I
am in any more of a position to accept
It now. I am not at liberty to trade
off valuable property belonging to the
company for the legitimate use of
streets which should be granted with
out cost, and I don't think the com
pany will be ready to do. business in
that way.
"I'll meet with the committee In the
morning and I wish that I could sug
gest something that would be of mu
tual satisfaction and aid in the speedy
erection of both bridges, but I can't
think of any plan right now that will
even approach that end, to say nothing
of accomplishing It."
