of the Unnton rockpile. Is charged
with accepting a bribe of 1100 to aid
O. A. Richards, a prisoner In his cus

this transaction the name of Oeorve

the unsupported statement of Klcharda
that the money he paid HrlKcs was to

Aitency's Accusation Weak.
Against Detective Lou Carpenter the
charm has been made through the
Burns detective agency that he ac
eepted money from dissolute women of
the town. The accusation airalnst Car
penter, however, has not been sub
stantiated by the detective agency pre

of the women. alleKed by Carpenter'l
arcusers to have paid him money for

lice Commissioner Coffey refused to
confirm her previous charges against
Carpenter and made to representatives
of the detective nftency. She went fur
ther and In response to direct ques
tions declared that she at no time paid
Carpenter any money for protection or
for any other consideration. She made
these statements positively and with
out any reservation.
Friends of Carpenter Insist that the
coup directed by the detective agency
u rat list Carpenter la prompted entire
ly by revenge. In other words, they
describe It aa a -bluff on the part of
the Burns detective agency to make
Carpenter be good and not to Interfere
further with the operations of the de
tective airency In the performance of
private detective work.
I'lalnt Called Bluff.
To Carpenter, say his friends. Is laid
the blame by the Burns detective
agency for the action of a plume dealer
In cancelling payment of a check for
I1SS he had delivered to Otto H. Kul
per, manager of the atrency. for the
recovery of several hundred dollars'
worth of stolen plumes. It la also con
tended by Carpenter's friends that the
report that W. J. Burnt, the celebrated
detective and head of the local Burns
detective agency, la coming; to Tort
land personally to Inquire into alleged
graft conditions Is only another step
In the "bluff ftaxue) that la being; di
rected attain t Carpenter.
These representations by Carpenter
and hla friends are emphatically de
nied by Mr. Kulper and his associates
In the Burn agenry. They deny earn
estly that they are practicing any
bluff or mean anything other than
"business.
"You may aay for me. regardless of
what Mr. Carpenter and his friends
have represented, that Mr. Bums will
to here some time next week." said
Mr. Kulper. manager of the local Burns
agency, yesterday. "Those who know
Mr. Burns know him well enough to
understand that he will not stand to
have any agency or other concern with
which he la identified slandered and
maligned as hla Portland agency has
' been, without resenting It and ascer
taining those responsible therefor.

"Mr. Burns Is detained at Los An'
grles temporarily as a witness la the
trial of the McNamara dynamiting case.
As soon as he gives his testimony and
Is excused he will come direct to Port
land. I am not able to aay to what
extent he will delve into the alleged
graft situation in this city. It may
be depended upon, however, that he
will make a thorough Investigation of
the charges that have been made
againat his agency and the character
of the work it la doing here."
County Uetectlve Patrick J. Maher
and Frank L. Perkins, a newspaper
man. were the butt of accusations yes

It is said that Fouts ever since has

This remarkable face of "The Old Man of Cow Creek Canyon" was
developed accidentally on the plate of an amateur photographer who
wandered through ths gorge a few months ago taking pictures of
scenery. Including portlona of the Southern Pacific track. He did not
see the 'man's head In the rocks when he took ths picture, and It was
not until after he printed It that he discovered It on the plate. The
scene Is one and one-half mile south of West Fork station In Doug

face bears to Colls P. Huntington, while members of the Hill railroad

Perkins Return Awaited.
When Fouts Insisted that It was Im
possible to disassociate Maher and
Perkins, the Commissioners adjourned
the investigation till this morning at
9:S0. their object being to give Per
kins an opportunity to appear In per
son or by counsel.
Judge Cleeton said later In ths af
ternoon that this morning ths subject
will be gone Into thoroughly, whether
Perkins Is present or not. AH three
Commissioners Joined In declaring tbat
there Is no Intention on their part to
minimise the charges against Detec
tive Maher or to protect him in any
way. Judge Cleeton voiced what he
declared was their sentiment when he
said that he wished a full and sweep

George Constable, rormeny a aep-
nuty Sheriff, but now with the Burns
agency, started the trouble Wednes

FROM PRISON WORK.'
Governor Said to Hate In Mind to
Crge Number of Changes In
Taxation IegisIatlon.
SALEM, Or, Aug. 10. (Special.) It
present signs do not fall Governor
West In the near future will start de
voting some of bis energies now being
directed toward prison reform toward
the work of the Stats Tax Commission.
It Is understood that the Governor
haa been devising a number of schemes,
which he plans to put Into practice In
the near future through the medium of
ths State Board of Tax Commissioners.
When Senator Miller, during the last
legislature referred to the work of the
State Tax Commission as that which
"could be dons by a ITS clerk If hs
possessed some knowledge of steno
graphy," coming as It did from a Dem
ocratic Senator, who was one of ths
administration leaders in the Upper
House, It started the administration
thinking as to how to Increase the ef
ficiency of that commission. For sev
eral months the Governor has been ten
tatively formulating plans, which so
far he has not seen fit to make public
Inasmuch as ths new county tax
amendment requires that there can bs
no new taxation legislation unless It
Is put up to a vote of the people his
scops Is rather limited. But It la prob
able he will take an active hand In re
lation to ths work of the commission
named by the last Legislature to pre
pare and draft laws to be submitted to
the people. This commission Is to
work In conjunction with the Stats
Tax Commission.
It Is known that ths Governor Is In
favor of the separation of the sources
of state and local revenue.' When this
Is done hs believes that ths state will
raise Its revenue principally from pub
lic service corporations, license fees.
Inheritances, etc. He believes that this
plan would give each county complete
home rule In the matter of taxation,
and unless ths sources of state revenues
failed to produce enough to cover tbs
needs of ths state the counties would
not be called upon to contribute any
thing toward ths support of ths state.
It la probable that soma of these
Ideas will be placed before ths com
mission to revise the system of taxation
when It meets here.

tors Are Discussed.
.FRAUD EVIDENCE SOUGHT
City Attorney Grant Flics Report
Concerning Waddel & Harring'
ton and Builders Intimating
Collusion Against City.
Intimations that there was collusion
between Waddell & Harrington, of Kan
sas City, consulting engineers for the
city on the Hawthorne-avenue bridge,
and two contracting companies which
built the span, were contained in a for
mal opinion by City Attorney Grant,
read before the bridge committee of the
Executive Board yesterday afternoon
After discussing ths subject at con
siderable length, R. O. Rector, chair
man, and D. Soils Cohen and John B.
Coffey, the other members, voted to
ask Mr. Grant whether he has any
facts In his possession sufficient to
warrant the case being carried Into the
courts on. the ground of fraud.
In case Mr. Grant has no such facts.
It was virtually admitted by the mem
bers of the committee that the city Is
"stung" for from (30,000 to $40,000 for
"extras' and the balances called for In
the reports of the engineers on the con
struction of the bridge. The bridge
was finished 237 days late.
Rector Against Extras.
Chairman Rector, who Is familiar
1th bridge and Iron work construction.
declared that he would not favor allow
Ing a single cent of "extras," or claims
presented by the United Engineering
A Construction Company and allowed
by the city's consulting ' engineers.
Among these are bills of $2320 for
"maintenance of essential working
organisation for 48"; maintenance
and use of plant, $1433"; "use of office
at bridge, $33"; "rehandllng steel at
shops, $90"; rehandllng of steel In field.
$320": "bond, accident and Ore Insur
ance, $563"i; "overtime charges after
delivery of piers, $994" a total of
$6266.
f never heard of such a proposition
as a contractor charging for the bond
and Insurance he has to provide," said
Chairman Rector. "It seems to me to
be ridiculous to ask the city to pay
such bills, and for one, I shall never
do so. Charges for delays and such
things, in my opinion, are also ridicu
lous, as the company knows the state
of the river and should have made al
lowance for high water and the like.'
Steelworkers Imported.
Asked by D. Soils Cohen why it was
necessary to maintain the working or
ganization for more than a month when
the contractor for the substructure was
not out of the way, Drake C. O'Reilly,
president of the United Engineering
& Construction Company, said that ne
had to import expert steel workers and
retain them here at high salaries all
tbat time to keep them.
1 know all about steel workers, re
plied Chairman Rector, "and I dare say
that, while the company may have
brought In a superintendent. It brought
no others here whatever. It is unnec
essary to do so, for it Is with this
trade as with carpenters or others
there are always enough men for the
Jobs. I can and will ascertain Just how
many iron workers the company
brought here, but it was not more
than one."
Mr. Cohen, speaking as a lawyer, said
b rnnnnmd in the ontnlon of ths
City Attorney to the effect that the
consulting engineers, having been dele
gated the authority by the city to act.
must be recognized, and. unless they
were actually in collusion with the
contractors as against ths city, their
rulings must bs sustained and what
ever sums they recommended for pay
ment must be paid; likewise that ths
engineers' recommendations as to ths
Infliction of penalties against tne con
tractors must be met.
$40,000 Excess Involved.
The amounts paid out on the bridge.
combined with what Is due. taking the
report of the engineers as the guide,
aggregate more than the bridge bond
Issue of $450,000 by not less than $40.
000. There Is no fund from which to
pay this and City Attorney Grant aays
that it these items must be paid by
ths city, ths only recourse Is to ask the
people for enough to cover them.
The Dortlon of City Attorney Grant'
opinion which caused the committee to
hesitate and ask lor runner miorma-
tlon waa:
while I must aar. and the authorities
seem o hold generally that where a con
trut nravidu tbat an engineer shall de
cide certain facts, that his determination la
eonclualve, yat the courts wiu go into tne
question It it caabe shown that the en
gineer has acted In bad faith. Notwith
standing said provision In said contracts
providing that Waddell si Harrington shall
be the sola ana exclusive juukh oi tne ex
tension of time to which the contractors
hall be entitled. I am of the opinion that
the Eieoutlve Board has a lesal tight to
ascertain all of the facta concerning the de
lay In the construction of said Hawthorne
avenue brldsa tor the purpose of determin
ing whether in its opinion ths consulting
engineers have acted In good faith In mak
ing their report.
While I do not want to be understood aa
doubting tiie sincerity of the consulting
engineers, yet I am impressed lorcioiy Tram
the facts disclosed in the record, that they
have not acted In good faith so far aa the
penalties to be allowed are concerned.

DEATH DATA TO BE TRUE
STATE HEAXiTn OFFICER PLAXS
REVISIOX IX SYSTEM.
Settlement of Large Estates on Evl
dertce of Certificates Demands
Accuracy In Reports.
Death certificates as ' factors in the
settling of Insurance claims, property
rights and pensions will be a feature of
the coming year's work of the State
Health Board, and the more careful reg
istration of all deaths will be sought by
State Health Officer White. Many cases,
especially among foreigners, have been
found in tne past year where the state
death registration has been accepted by
foreign governments as evidence of
deaths, upon which large estates have
been settled. The effort will be made
during the coming year to have the reg
istrations mors complete than before.
Fines are ths penalties on health officers
falling to report deaths and upon under
takers who bury bodies for which no
adequate death certificate showing the
cause of death have been furnished.
The cause of death of a Russian nobis
man who was a workman In a road gang
on a railroad In the central part of the
state was recently accepted from the
Stats Health Board by ths Russian gov
ernment when the estates of the de
ceased nobleman came to be settled.
Two death certificates a week at least
are sent to Europe by the State Health
Board to settle details connected with
the death of Europeans In the state.
Death rates, according to the report
of the State Board of Health, are higher
In ths cities of the stats than In the
country, and the death rate of 11.1 per
1000 of population in Portland has a large
effect upon the general death rate of the
state, which without Portland Is 7.7 In
1000, and with Portland Is 8.8 in 1000. A
high death rate In Marlon County Is
explained .by the number of state insti
tutions, of which many are at Salem.
In seven counties of the state one per
son in every 100 dies each year. In
Wasco County, which, outside of Marion
County, haa the largest death rate of
any county, the rate Is 11.5 In 1000;
ClatsOD County follows closely with 11.4
deaths to every 1000 persons each year.
Portland, without the rest of Multnomah
County, has a rate of 11.1 deaths in each
1000 persons, based on a record of 2308
deaths In a population or Doug
las County's mortality is 10.1 in 10OQ, as
Is also Josephine County. Marion County
ha 13.6 deaths to every 1000 persons
Union County's rate is 10.8. The lowest
rate Is that of Clackamas County.'
Clatsop and Wasco counties have the
greatest proportions o violent aeatns.
Clatsoo because of the fishing and log-
ring Industries and Wasco by general ac
cidents. Of 20 deaths In Wasco County
In July reported to the State Healtn
Board. 13 were violent. Four were
caused bv drowning, seven persons were
killed In railroad wrecks, one was shot
and one was blown up by dynamite.

FORMER REGIME BLAMED
Night Guard, Termed 'Bump on

Had "Cop" Cicerone Nightly.
Several Stars Taken.
Referred to by Acting Chief Slover
as a hump on a iogv wnen ma appli
cation for a "special" star came up be
fore the police committee of the Ex
ecutive Board for consideration yes
terday afternoon. Special Policeman
Franklin created a sensation later.
when testifying- for H. A. Galbraith, a
Datrolman. charsred with drunkenness.
and now recommended for dismissal.
"During- the preceding- police admin
istration," Franklin swore, "the North
Bank Saloon proprietor, M. Weiss, had
a policeman go home with him every
morning-. The policeman on the beat
would go Into the place ana stay some
times from 1 to 3 A. M.. and then ac
company the proprietor home. I asked
Sergeant wanless, in cnarge or me. dis
trict, about it. and he said the patrol
men had orders to do so. That saloon
keeper seemed to have It on all the men
on that heat, for they would do Just as
he said."
Tnumnrh as Actlna- Chief Slovc-r was
then Captain in command of the second
relief, on duty at the hours mentioned
tiv Franklin, it cast somewnat or a re
flection on the present head of the
force, but he said that he regarded
irranklln's etatements as. "hot air.
"If TTranklin had known tnat tne
committee had already granted him his
star, he probably would have taiisea
less." said Chief Slover, after the case
was completed and Galbraith waa rec
ommended for dismissal.
Franklin, when asked by a memDer
of the committee why he had made no
effort to Interfere wltn tne saloon
keeper's alleged unlawful operations,
replied that he supposed that when Ser
rnt wtnlnii told him the policemen
had orders about the saloon, that ended
It, and he did not reel tnat it was ma
duty to act.
