FILL'S COST ASKED Tanner Gulch Question Is Put Before City Engineer., PAYMENT HINGES ON SUM City Attorney Holds, If Amount Reache $15,000 Coin May Be Taken From Bridge Fund. Owners Want Improvement. To determine the probable cost of filling Tanner Gulch, at the head of Morrison street, the question was re ferred to City Engineer Hurlburt by the street committee of the City Coun cil yeelerday. He will report at the next meeting of the City Council. Nearly a year ago property-owners on Morrison street from the river to Nineteenth street were assessed to pay owners of the property which will be covered, by the street extension, for tho use of the property by the city. The question has since arisen whether the City .Council may take enctigh money' from the city bridge fund to pay the cost of filling the gulch. The charter provides thst money may be taken from the fund for filling any ra vine where the cost Is more than 15. 000. It has been eatlmat4 that the cost of the proposed fill will bo be tween fll.OOO and 113.000. Owners Want Improvement. There has been a protest against us ing money from the bridge fund for this purpose, however, but the property-owners along Morrison street who were assessed are anxious that the improvement be made, and that their money be not tied up any longer than necessary without the Improvement be ing made. Councilman Baker, chair man of the street committee, said yes terday there Is no doubt In his mind but Chat this property Is a ravine, and that the Council has a right to pay for the cost of the fill from the bridge fund. City Attorney Grant submitted an opinion. In which he expressed the be lief that the cost of surfacing- the street after the fill is made and of putting In wooden or stone sidewalks, canno; be taken from the bridge fund, but must be provided for otherwise. Fakements Also Needed. The ordinance as drawn provides for the putting down of crushed rock, and artificial stone and wooden sidewalks. A new ordinance will be drawn If City Engineer Hurlburt's report shows that the cost of the proposed fill Is more then IU.000. Another question is the securing of easements from the abutting property owners permitting the city to slope the fills on their property without charge. Walter A Holt, president of tho Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club, owner of property abutting the fill, said the club would be willing to grant the easement, which, he said, lie under stood would not be construed as a deed, but merely a right to allow the earth to rest on the club property. The own ers of the property on the other side of the proposed fill are Russell Blyth. INSTITUTE IS UNIQUE SCHOOLS OK 11IOCF.SK ARE A IX WKIX REPRESENTED. SI. Paul Speaker Praises Inleres-t Taken In Recent Session of Catholic Teachers. "The Catholic Teachers Institute has Impressed me as one of the most suc cessful thst I have ever attended." said Rev. H. Moynihan. of St. Paul. Minn., yesterday, after the close of the last session. "It Is quite an un usual condition that I have found, for I know of no case In any other state where an Institute haa been held In which the schools of an entire diocese were represented, as was the case here." Rev. Mr. Moynihan delivered his last lecture before the Institute yesterday afternoon on "St. Tsui's Testimony to Christianity." Having elven and answered the arguments or various skeptics as to the cause of Paul's transformation, he declared, "there Is onlv one way to explain It, and that explanation Is that Paul was a. witness to the truth. in nis morning morns he spoke on "The Origin and Alms of tho Four oospels." Mr. Moynihan will leave today for St. Paul, where he presides over the St. Thomas College. He maue his visit to Portland solely for the purpose of taking part In the Institute.

A sister will be appointed In each community to su perintend the schools and to report fully upon their condition at the next Institute. These superintendents will Iso meet at different times during the year and confer, with the aim of fixing a uniform atandard throughout the school system In both grading and tost books. With but few exceptions the standard text books of the state will be used In the courses. "Our schools." ssld Archbishop Chris tie In concluding his address, "are the foundation upon which our churches rent Build up our schools and then we will be able to build up our mil lion churches, academies and colleges."

STRIKERS' BANNER HID DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPEALED TO TO REGAIN FLAG. Sign Found in Office of Mount Hood Railroad Contractor and Re turned After Mlx-Vp. Friction between employes of the Mount Hood Railroad ' and striking linemen, took a new turn yesterday, when the strikers appealed to the Dis trict Attorney for assistance In recov ering one of their banners, which they h-ald was In the office of Red ford Mur lork. a contractor for the company, with rooms In the Railway Exchange building. Many vicissitudes were ex perienced and the Prosecutor spent a busy morning before the banner was returned. A boy had been employed to carry the sign and set It down for a moment, when men in the employ of the com pany picked It up and carried it to Mnrlock's offlcex The strikers learned where It was and appealed to the Dis trict Attorney. Murlock agreed to sur render It and the strikers went to his office but were soon back, reporting that when they entered they found li men In the room who refused to sur render the banner. A telephone message from the Dis trict Attorney brought forth a promise that tie banner would be given up, and the strikers went again to Murlock's office, where the banner was turned over to them. Then the elevator boy, who. they allege, was In the conspiracy, refused to carry It down In the eleva tor and they were also forbidden to take It down the stairs, they said. For a third time they went to the District Attorney and an ultimatum was served, which finally released the banner. Workers assert that the strikers, whtl ostensibly avoiding violence, plant themselves between the men and their work and if Jot-lied in the least, say that they have been attacked. In structions of foremen and communica tion between workers Is made Impos sible by the Jeers and cries of the pick ets, who have adopted the college style of rooting In unison. Justice of the Peace Olson, who has the cases to deal with, has shown a disposition to defend the. right of free speech, and this called forth a colloquy between him snd Attorney Fulton In thi! hearing Thursday evening. "This court will uphold the right of any man to speak his mind." said the magistrate, ruling on a contention of the attorney that conversation which was undesirable to tho hearer forced to listen U it mlnht become disorder ly conduct even If not otherwise ob jectionable. "Then If a man wanted to come into vour courtroom and talk against your will he would not be disorderly unless his words were Improper?" replied At torney Fulton. It is the contention of the company's attorneys that a man has a right to re fuse conversation and to be protected from those who force It upon him. OVER-INSURANCE CHARGED Alaska Cannery Fire Loss Alleged to Be Misrepresented. Misrepresentation in submitting the proofs of losses resulting front the burning of a cannery at Nushagak. Alaska, is charged against the officers of the Alaska-Portland Packers' Asso ciation by four insurance companies that wrote Insurance on the property that was destroyed.

The Interested Insurance companies are: Agricultural Insurance Company, Globe Hutgers Insurance Company. Sve Fire Insurance Company and the National Union Fire Insurance Com pany, of Pittsburg. F. M.

REQUIREMENTS ARE UNFAIR Council Committee Opposes Measure on Account of Its Many Features Deemed Objectionable by Per- sons to Be Affected. The -health and police committee of the City Council, composed of Council men Jennings. Watkins and Magulre, decided yesterday that it will recom mend against the passage of the pro posed plumbing ordinance. This meas ure comes up at the- next meeting of the Council for third reading. Councilman Magulre said yesterday that he regards the proposed ordinance as vicious, framed entirely for the bene fit of the master plumbers and, whole salers. He said it provides the same class of plumbing for small dwelling houses as for large buildings, thereby increasing the cost to the small property-owners at least 15 per cent. "It is intended to keep out of the plumbing business every man excep the ones able to put up a big bond, he continued. "I consider It one of the most -vicious ordinances I ever looked into." Councilman Joy. although not a mem ber of the committee, was present, and said several plumbers had spoken to him. urging that the proposed ordi nance be quashed, as they said it would be bad for both the plumbers and the property-owners. "The majority of the members of the community are op posed to any stringent plumbing ordi nance," he continued. ' It was pointed out that the proposed ordinance gives the plumbing inspector arbitrary power, and that it will cause endless trouble and litigation. The ordinance specifies the weight of every plece of pipe and fitting to be put In. It Is asserted 'hat the inspector may compel a plumber to tear out a piece of pipe which looks lighter than the re quired weight. In order that it may be weighed. Councilman Joy told how a youns man without a plumbing license put a few pieces of rusty pipe together for an East Side citizen when the plumbers refused to do the work, and was ar rested and fined $25 in the Police Court for it. This was under the ordinance now In force, Mr. Joy said he did not consider that justice. The committee decided to refer to the Council without recommendation the ordinance against keeping chickens, ducks or geese in the following terri tory: From McMillen street and the river northwest to Williams avenue, to Eugene street, to Union avenue, to East Seventh street, to Thompson street, to East Twenty-fifth street, to East Stark street, to East Forty-fifth street, to Di vision street and to the river.. The Oregon Poultry & Pet Stock Associa tion filed a remonstrance against this ordinance, saying many householders keep poultry to supply eggs for the table, and some for profit, and that to pass such an ordinance will raise the price of eggs and poultry. There was considerable opposition to the petition of Conrad Helzer, a scaven ger, to be permitted to build a bam in Lower Albina. The property-owners recently secured an ordinance against the building of barns between Union avenue and East Seventh street and Klickitat and Fremont. Helzer says this Is unjust, as he Intends to erect a sanitary barn, complying with the cits ordinances, and properly drained. The matter was referred to the Council.
