Preliminary to submitting the ques
tion to th Supreme Court within tha
next few days. Councilman Ellis will
file a petition for a writ of mandamus
la the Circuit Court this morning
acalnst City Auditor Rarbur. direct
ing him to place on the ballot the so
called Ellis paving petitions, which pro
vide, for a competitive method of let
tlnr contracts for hard-surface street
Savin sr.
As Presiding Judge Gantnbiti Isuifd
aa order Thursday restraining; the City
Auditor from placing the petition for
a municipal street-paving plant on the
ballot. It Is expected that the petition
of Mr. E'.lts will be denied, and In that
event Judre Gsntenbeln has promised
that he will aid as much as Is In his
power to present the casa to the Su
preme Court.
Mr. Ellis consulted Judge Gantenbeln
and City Attorney Grant yesterday re
garding his plan of filing bis petition
for a writ of mandamus, and received
assurance from both that they would
welcome his efforts in that regard. It
Is expected that a hearing- will be Riven
by Judge Gantenbeln this afternoon, as
the question must be selUed by a week
from today.
Definition Is Disputed.
It ts conceded by Mr. Ellis that ha
ria not IS per cent of the registered
voters of the city on. his petition, but
he maintains that the law requires only
IS per cent ot the legal votera ot the
city, and that the legal votera are not
limited to the reglatered voters.
Tyler Woodward recently filed a suit
-for an order restraining City Auditor
Barbur from placing the petition for a
municipal pavjng plant on the ballot.
City Attorney Grant filed a demurrer
to this petition, setting: forth that while
there were not IS per cent of the names
of the registered voters on the petition.
It was his contention that the law did
not mean that to be a legal voter a
man needed to ba a registered voter.
Judge Gantenbeln overruled this de
murrer Thursday afternoon, on the
ground that the Supreme Court had de
cided the Issue In a previous case from
t'nlon County Involving a local option
petition. He granted the restraining;
order asked for by Mr. Woodward.
As the Ellis paving petitions are ex
actly In the same position as that for
the paving plant regarding the signa
tures they contain, the ruling of the
court will apply.
Mr. Ellis said yesterday that the op
ponents of the so-called pavlac trust
had been ncglog him all day to take
soma action toward getting the case
before the Supreme Court. He wanted
City Attorney Grant to appeal, but Mr.
Grant said that It would be Impossible
t get the Supreme Court to advance
the case cn the calendar without the
permission of Mr. Woodward's attor
neys. L. A. McS'ary and W. D. Fenton.
and that Mr. McNary had refused to
grant such permission.
Haste) Is Agreed Cpon.
Mr. Grant agreed that If the court re
fused Mr. Ellis' petition for a writ of
mandamus directed against City Audi
tor Barbur. he. aa City Attorney, would
aid in advancing the case to a decision
In the Supreme Court.
Mr. Ellis contends that the people
ehouM have the right to vote on the
question whether there should be com
petitive biJdlng for street Improvement
work. He has gone to much expense,
he said yesterday. In getting proof to
show that hi petition had the required
Dumber of legal voters, and he Is de
termined to see the case through to
tne finish. If a ruling can be obtained
by the court this afternoon. It will be
laid before the Supreme Court Monday,
witn the request that, aa It la a matter
of much public Importance. It be ad
vanced on the calendar.

PLUMBING 'TRUST'
Competition Among Jobbers Is
Keen, Is Answer to Suit of -L
F. Brayton.
FORM OF CONTRACT IS BAN
Engineering; Company' Manager
A ceased . or Seeking to Atone)
for Own Delays by Enforc
ing- Objectionable- Clause.
Delay la placing hlsj order for the
plumbing to ba used In the new Wilcox
bundles;, now under construction at
Sixth and Washington streets, and an
effort to make Portland plumbera bear
the responsibility for the possible fall
ore of the building to be completed on
contract time. Is charged by At. L
Kline, head of tha firm bearing hla
name, against Louis F. Brayton. resi
dent manager for the Stone J Webster
Engineering Company, contractors for
tha structure, who on 'inursaay ac
cused Mr. Kline of being In a combine
tlon with other plumbing jubbera of the
cltv to control the business.
Mr. Kline denies that there Is a
clumbers' "trust" In Portland, but de
clares, on the other hand. that compe
tltlon among Jobbers is keen. The only
difficulty which he baa had with the
Stone & Webster Company in the pres
ent Instance, he aays, is In tha effort ot
Mr. Brayton to enforce a contract upon
him making him responsible for delay
In delivery of plumbing material.
Penalty Meet Objection.
TT added that ha would not enter
Into any agreement by which he would
be penalised for delaya caused by the
factories or transportation companies.
With that clause eliminated from tha
contract, ha la ready to do business
with Mr. Brayton or hia firm, he said.
Mr. Kline's statement follows:

Tnder date of May 10 I received a letter

ceive a aatlsfartory answer. In wrltlr.g. be

Boycott Is JDesued.
It will be noted that this correspondence
le of recent date, me.uregonlan of May
13 states thst the construction work cn the
steel sky-scraper Is fully a week ahead of
schedule; that tne steel frame will be com
pleted next Saturday; that the top course
ot steel wss placed last week, but up to
that time no order had been placed, or ar
ranged for. for the roughing material, which
would include pipe, nuinge. valves, sneclal

KLINE D
showing negligence In falling promptly to
place orders for plumbing material.
Relative to a boycott: To prove that there
haa never been a boycott on me or my busi
ness. It gives me pleasure to say that my
business last year was far ia excess of any
previous year since 1 have been in business,
and my business this year, for the first
four months, la considerably ahead of last
year. Purthermore. there are few plumbera
doing business In the city that we do not I
nave en our booaa every montn, ana " T
never near 01 any vwcviti. wi .
on me or nr business. I certainly would
have beard of It If such were the case.
The statement that I am disinclined to
furnish material for leer of dissatisfaction
on the pert of the local plumbers Is untrue
and la simply made to excuse the negligence
of the Stone a Webster Engineering Com-
T V . Vast. m y A am rluH tn fur-
nlsh material if the contract to be entered I
into is a fair one. but I certakily will not
consent to be responsible for delays at fac
tory an. In transit, all of which are beyond
my eontrol. . .
Mr. Brayton falls to state all of his con
versations with me and ha states several
things to the press which he did not say lo
me. and his statements, on the whole, are
untrue. In contradiction of his statement
to The Oregon Ian. hla personal expression to
me haa been only of hia friendship and ' great
appreclatloa of the favors I have extended
him In business matters., and for The ex
pediency of handling his orders; all of which
confirms ray feeling that he was trying to
use my employee to enter Into a contract
to protect him from the consequences caused
by his delay tn placing orders for material.
1 did not keep any notes of my conver
sations with Mr. Brayton. not anticipating
any lawsuit, aa t felt that they would elimi
nate the clause referred to and 'we could
proceed to enter Into a contract, which we
have mot yet done; but he. on the other
hand, apparently kept notes of everything
that transpired, anticipating a suit snd con
troversy m order to clear his own skirts of
his negleot in placing the order.
Contract Ia Offered.
8 far as I am concerned, I stand ready
now, and always have, to enter Into a con
tract with the Stone a Webster Engineering
Company for material for the T. B. Wilcox
building, a outlined In my letter, wherein
I quoted prices. Even If the contract la en
tered into with me bow for the finishing ma
terial, this would not In any way delay j
tn corapienen or tne bonding.
I have the rlrht to have a contract with
this company, satisfactory to myself, and not
entirely In its favor. I have a right to
protect myself against delays in the factory
making shipment and delaya In transit, and
no company can force me into an arbitrary
agreement to cover up its own defects in
not placing its orders.
The contract for tfie1 roughing and the
finishing- material abould have been entered
Into when the ground was broken for the
building. Instead of when the frame of the
bulU'lng Is 12 stories high, and on account
of the late date of his wishing to enter lntu
this contract, he has no complaint to make
tn anyone. If the 8tone a Webster . En
glreerlng Company will aasume Its part of
the responsibility, on account of its neglect
In placing the order. It, In all probability,
will not be damaged In any way whatever,
aa any Jobber will do all he possibly can to
hurry delivery of the goods.
Thesa are the exact facts of the entire
matter.
Good Things ia Markets
7HU fish market this week presents
a remarkably good variety of "sea i
food" for the epicure or for the eco- I
nomlcal houswlfe. Chinook salmon, of '
excellent quality. Is to be had at 15
cents a pound; and Columbia River :
shad can be obtained at 15 to 25 cents
each. Of course the latter Is handi
capped In the race for popularity by i
Its bonea; but remove these, skillfully

paragua. and you have a dish fit for
King George and Queen Mary them
selves.
The full list Includes black bass and
lobster. SO cents; sea trout, 5 cents;
striped bass, 20 cents; catfish, stur
geon, devil-fish If you are in search
of "something different," and shrimps.
15 cents; black cod, halibut, flounder.
perch, sea-bass, steelhead salmon, Co
lumbia River smelt and sole, 10 cents;
fresh herring and German carp, ( cents
pound, crabs cost 10 to 15 cents each
and raxor clams, 12 hi cents a dozen.
Much has been written recently
about mussels aa a source of Inexpen
sive nutriment. From Tillamook come
enormous specimens of these newly
popularized shell fish, some of which
range in weight from iz to 16 ounces
each. Mussel chowder is hugely ap
proved by some gourmets, while sole
steyed with mussels Is a classic dish.
New In the vegetable market are
yams, at 20 cents a pound; string and
green beans, at 25 to 30 cents; . and
morel mushrooms at $1.25 a pound.
Otherwise the vegetable supply la about
the same aa last week, except that Ore
gon heart-lettuce now comes at 2 to
heads for 6 cents instead of S cents
a bead. Radishes are very cheap and
plentiful and are good boiled with
sauce or grated In a salad, as well as
in their usual form. Asparagus Ktill
costs 7H to 12 H cents a bunch. Water

usually high price for this time of year.
Berries from Tennessee are expected
next week: and Oregon berries, a week
later. The first green gooseberries are
now to be had at 25 cents a pound; r.r.d

oranges are still to be bad, at 25 to S5
cents a dozen; but good apples grow
steadily scarcer.
Butter, egg and poultry prices re
main about the same as last week
though eggs " are tending towards
higher rates.
Cleveland Demnrs to Indictment.
Charles Cleveland, one or the men
Indicted for forging names to the Ellis
paving petitions, yesterday filed a da
murrer to his Indictment, in which ha
declares that the indictment Is in
valid. In support of his charge that
the Indictment Is not valid, he says
that It is not set forth that the names
said to have been forged were not
signed by permission of the men pos
sessing them. Tha lndiotment falls to
allege, ba maintains, that the petitions
on which the names appeared were
legal petitions and that any one was
injured by tha signing of the names
of the men mentioned.
