SUBSIDIZING OF

Lombard Says Service Cor

With Patronage.

Kabll'a Printing Ratilnr Doubled
From Same Soarc. Candidate
Declares Campaign Prom-
Im to Set r
Oar Lombard, who baa charged a
majority of the ntobart of tha Coun
cil with banns organised a question
able combination, la a "atand-patter"
In tha sens that b yeaterday refused
to retract or to modify a single asser
tion ha baa made regarding tha organ
isation of tha preaent CouncIL
Instead. Sir. I-ombard aropllflad hla
formar atatamaata by alleging, with
out (trtar any names, that members
of tha Council have secured tha employ
ment at lucrative ealartee of friar da by
public ervlca corporations, not eicept
log tha pa vine com panl merely by tn
nilii racb appotntmenta with a lat
ter of recoraendation. Going farther.
Mr. Lombard aaya tha printing busi
ness of . Councilman Kubll baa mora
than doubled ln.-e Mr. Kubll became a
mmbr of tha Council. At tha aamo
time. Mr. Lombard Intimates that tha
great part of thla Increased Tolume of
business waa contributed by publla eer
Tlca corporations.
System Declared Wrong.
"t ahall retract nothlnir from my
statement that a majority of the mem
bers! of tha City Council are Influenced
bv forcea unfriendly to tha beet Inter
ests of the people of Portland." said
Sir. Lombard yesterday. "1 bare noth
ing against any member of tha Council
personally and my criticism la directed
against them only aa publla official a.
The system la wrong.
-Members of tha Council ran be and
are being Influenced and subsidized In
directly. On tha recommendation of a
Councilman soma friend frequently la
provided with a good position In the
employ of a publlo service corporation.
It mlrht be Interesting also to know
something of tha Increased rolume of
business Councilman Kubll has enjoyed
since becoming a member of tha Coun
cil and the source of this Increased
business. I have no doubt that tha
books of Mr. Kubll s firm will show
that Ita business haa at least doubled
ainca be went Into tha Council. Public
service corporations require a great deal
of printing In a year and they gener
ally place thla business aa they place
other patronage where, by ao doing,
they can place public servants under
obligations to them. In constantly
granting such favors, these corpora
tlona exert Indirectly a atrong Influence
ever aoraa men. with tha reault that
when tha Interests of tha general pub
lic and those of special Interests con
flict the former Is generally forgotten.
Candidate Will Sot "Straddle."
l ahall conduct a clean-cut cam
paign. I shall not be a etraddler. The
Indisposition of the average dtiaen to
serve In a publlo capacity la a danger
ous condition under our present sys
tem. I ahall advocate tha election of
a good Council of representative men,
reaardtesa of whether or not I am auc
rs.iful In ray candidacy for Mayor.
The needs of tha city demand at thla
time a Council be elected that will
truly repreaent tha people. Mora in
terest la new manifested In city af
fair, with tha election five waeka
away, than generally la shown la tha
concluding week of a municipal cam
paign. I am glad to aee It. It Indl
catea aa awakening on the part of the
people which Insures a thorough ecrut
Iny of all candidates and glvea promise
of tha election of a more representa
tive body of men for the admlnlatra
tlon of tha city government.
"In resenting my charges, certain
members of tha Council have under
taken to censure me by charging that
1 failed to prefer tha accusations I
have made ant II after 1 reetgned from
tha CouncIL My record aa a Council
man shows that I consistently and vig
orously fought those condltlona of
which 1 now complain- Tha trutb of
the matter la that every meaaure com
ing before the Council haa passed
through the neceesary cbannela and
baa received the Indorsement of a auf
flctent number of Councilman before
It la r resented to that body for con
sideration. Fight Ftoanrf Cac-lr.
"At thla ataga of tba proceeding I
found It nseleea to make any fight
against any sura measure. However.
1 never failed to lecteter my protest.
It haa become a saying In tha Council
chamber that there la no use arguing
against any meaaure seeking to grant
any special privilege. To do ao la coo
eldered only a waste of time. The
paasaga of all such measures la as
sured before they come before the
Council. The line-up la too atrong and
tha d eel red legislation la put through,
reaardleaa of tha protest of a vigilant
minority.
"I am not a public speaker, but I
shall go before the people In thla cam
paign and tell them what my experi
ence of two year In the Council haa
tatigM me. At the aame time I ahall
tell the voter that the only way to
correct the conditions now existing and
complained of la to elect the right kind
of men to repreaent them In the Coun
cil." "OtT Lombard. Republican candidate
for Mayor. Headquarters." Thla In
BTlptton on the door of 11 Board of
Tratle building serves to Identify the
headquarter Mr. Lombard haa opened,
and from which he Is directing bia
Mayoralty campaign. The office la In
ciiarae of George W. McMillan. Mr.
Lombard la planning a campaign which,
for aggressiveness, will set a pace for
bla two Republican opponents. Ruah
llght and Werleln. to follow.

LOMBARDS STAXD RIDICCLED
Holding Asks Why Candidate for
Mayor Didn't Speak Earlier.
"It would seem to me that Gay Lom
bard. Republican Mayoralty candidate,
should go over to the .Tenth Ward and
sea what 1 tha matter with Council
man Ellis, whom, he aaya. la one of
five Independent members of tha coun
cil not controlled by the Intereeta."
said Councilman Beldlng. yesterday. I
understand that JIM of the votera In
that ward have signed a petition asking
for the recall of Ellle. Can It be pos
sible such a large number of people In
F-llls' own ward have been fooled In
ElllsT-
alr. Balding eald ha had not paid
much attantton to tha charges of Mr.
Lombard that tha council waa domi
nated by a combination of member op
posed to the Interests of the people.
Hie charges are altogether general,
said Mr. Beldlng. "and no speclflo ac
cusations are made, neither era namea
mentioned. Aa a member of the council.
Mr. Lombard waa also a member of tha
street committee but I have never heard
of him raising hla voice against the
paving trust' or any othar municipal
condition against which. ha now ahouta
until after he realgned from the coun

Lombard waa a member of tha council,

Mr. Beldlng said be expected wtthln a
few days to announce hla candidacy for

from the Sixth Ward.

of the men, Caviness. Barrett and
Whalen, were prevloualy arrested and
charged with taking part in the rob
bery of a large amount of gold bullion
from the ateamer Humboldt, while en
route from Alaska last year.
The indictments were not a surprise,
aa the men had previously been arrest
ed on the charge for which tbey were
Indicted yeaterday.
The grand Jury made its final report
yesterday, and were diamlssed by Pre
siding Judge Gantebeln, who expressed
his appreciation of the prompt work of
the Jury, which saved the county two
days' salary that the rrembers might
have obtained, had they worked more
slowly and served the full time for
which they were appointed.
Indictments were also returned yes
terday against F. N. Myers, J. C. Law
and W. S. Davis, president, cashier and
vice-president, respectively, and direc

a witness for the state against Dr. C.
H. Francis, Indicted for the same of
fense. Deputy District Attorney Fltx
gerald had rertsona to believe that Bas
sett was Implicated In the case and for
that reason did not permit him to tes
tlfv In the Francis trial.
Strict watch waa kept on Bassett's
movements while at Salem and Deputy
District Attorney Fitzgerald haa evi
dence to show that Bassett waa sham
ming Insanity while at Salem. Bassett
has feigned Insanity since he has been
held In the County Jail but the officials
aay that he la sane.
Dr. Francla waa indicted jointly with
Dr. J. W. May for causing the death of
Mrs. Roberts by a criminal operation.
The Jury In the case In which Dr.

PROTESTS ARE NOT HEEDED
Woodstock to Be Graded and Side
walked Is Decision.
Woodstock '.striet will be graded
and sidewalks notwithstanding the
remonstrances f.2 about half of the
property owners, the street committee
of the Eexecutlvo Board having recom
mended that the contract be let to
Beechill Bros., for $10,195. This action
was taken yesterday afternoon, at the
close of more than an hour's argument
for and against tha improvement.
Delegations from Woodstock district,
which Includes an area from East
Forty-second to East Fifty-second
streets and from streetcar track to
Kelly street, were present. One wing
opposed the improvement; while the
other as vigorously urged that U be
made. Those opposed to It contended
that It is a. burden too great to be
borne by the laboring classes, who
make their homes there, and that, it
la not needed at thla time.
"What do the people out there pro
pose to do without sidewalka?" asked
Robert Treat Piatt, chairman of the
committee.
"Most of them have lived there for
SO years, and they are satisfied to get
along without any," replied Lawyer
Olson, who was spokesman for the
remonstrators.
"They are willing to tramp around
In tha mud?" commented Mr. Piatt.
Miss Kate Parker was the chief
speaker for the petitioners, and she de
clared that it is absolutely necessary to
have the improvements. She said that
Bull Run water pipes will not be laid
by the city until the grade Is made and
urged that the district must have this
water at once, as there is a shortage
every year now, the private system
there being inadequate.
The committee also ordered a new
advertisement for wood blocks for East
Morrison street, from East Water
street to Union avenue. This was done
at the order of the City Council, which
last week sent back the report of the
Executive Board that another kind of
material 6hould be substituted. It is
therefore virtually certain that wood
blocks will be laid on this street.
Hand Mangled Under Pile Driver.
The left hand of Thomas Lawton, a
young man employed by Contractor
Davidson, who is driving piles for the
foundation of tha building to be
erected for Morgan, Fleldner & Boyce,
East Stark street and Grand avenue,
was badly mangled yesterday under
the hammer of the pile driver, which
fell on the hand while it was on the
top of the pile. Nearly all the little
finger and portions of all the other
fingers were crushed so badly that
they had to be partly removed. Lawton
was adjusting the pile. Through a
