12 CITY WANTS LINE'S RIGHTS TO RIVER Mount Hood Road's Franchise Held Up Pending Negotia tions With Company. LITTLE SANDY IS SOUGHT Superintendent Dodge Believes Boll Ron Pipe Will Be Inadequate in Fire Years Railway's Attor ney Would Hold Fast. In an effort to Ret the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company to a-We the city the rlpht-to all waters In the Lit tie Sandy Rler except flood waters, the committee on Judiciary and elec tions of the City Council, composed of Councllmen Joy. Wllhelm and Jennings, decided yesterday not to take action until the next meeting of the commit tee concerning the granting of a fran chise to the company for laylnu a track on Villa avenue In Montatrllla. The company desires lo lay a track at this point, to be use.l by the Port land Railway. Ufht A. Power Company In running- Its Montavllla cars to a connection with the Mount Hood line, that passengers may be transferred at that point. City's Water In View. Superintendent Dodge, of the water department, aald that In ten years the new Bull Run pipeline lust btnr com pleted will not be adequate, with the other line now In use. to supply the city with water, provided the city con tinues at Its present rate of growth. It will be practically Impossible to ob tain much more water from Bull Run. he said, without dlvertlnn the waters of the Little fcandy Into It. which he thoufht the city ought to obtain the right to do. I'nder the present arrangement the company has the right to the use of the natural flow of the Little Fandy and the Bis; tfandy. and the city has the rlsht to the flood waters of the Little Sandy. The water of the Btt Bandy Is not lit for drtnklna- purposes, de clares Superintendent LHvlge. The averace dally flow of the Little Bandy, according to Engineer Clarke, of the water department. Is about ll.OOO.Ooa gallons, not quite half the present dally supply of Portland through the old pipeline. The Mount Hood Company has agreed with the city to contribute 150. OO toward a reservoir to hold the flood waters of the Little Candy, when the city desires to build one. This promise wss obtained In ex-Mayor M mon's administration. But In return for this new franchise the Councllmen and City Attorney Grant believe the company should give the city the nat ural flow of the Little Sandy, and take the flood waters for Itself. It already having the natural flow of the Btg ' Sandy. To this C. W. Fulton, attorney representing the corporation. would not consent yesterday. He Insisted that the company he represents Is spending Its millions for the erection of a power plant and a reservoir at the headwaters of the Big feandy covering I0 acres. He said the company will need the waters of both streams with in five years. On the other hand. It was pointed out that the corporation so far has done no mora than lay the foundation for the power plant, and that the wooden flume It has built Is apparently of temporary construction. Vnllon Sees Holdup. Mr. Fulton said the Mount Hood Company will supply power to points In Oregon and Washington, and that It will therefore need all the water It can get. "If you fail to give us a franchise to lay this track the ones you will Injure will be the traveling public, not the company." he declared. "The com pany can get along without this fran chise. Tou have no mora right to hold us up and refuse us a franchise be cause of the effort to obtain our wa ter rights than youave to bold me up with a shotgun." ROTARY MEN. CONVENE Is mors uncertainty. Boston will prob ably put In an Invitation, and Minneap olis and Kansas City are also In the Held. Iondon Spoke Cheered. Tho afternoon session was filled with lively discussion. In the reading of telegrams and messages from clubs of Eastern cities, a letter from Harvey C. Wheeler, of Boston, sending his good wishes to the convention, was followed by a great burst of applause when the secretary mentioned, after the closejof the reading, that through Mr. Wheel er's agency a Rotary Club had been organised In London, so that the American organization could now hoast of affiliations across the sea. The report of E. L. SkeeU of Seat tte. chairman of the committee on clvlo activities, brought forth a surprise In the form of a long and keen debate. In which the California delegate appeared to be arrayed squarely In opposition to all other members. Mr. Sk eel's rec ommendation that Rotary Clubs should take up discussion of subjects of clvlo development at their meetings for the information and cultivation of Its members evoked approval from the large majority of the delegates. A mo tion had alrsady been put to hare the report of the committee adopted, when the California delegation, under the leadership of the representatives from San Francisco, suddenly attacked It with sharp speeches, declaring It was foreign to the original purposo and In jurious to the prestige of the associa tions for them to mingle In the argu ment of other civic questions. Such work, they declared, should be left to the Commercial Clubs of the cities. Robert Rortson. the sole delegate from Oakland. CaL, wao chief among the attacking party. His speeches were brief and witty. Opposition Only Joke. In a few moments, however, most of the delegstes rallied from their sur prise at the unexpected opposition, swarmed to the defense of the resolu tion with fiery speeches and called for a vols to put the opposing delegation utterly to rout. The vote was unanimous In fsvor of the resolution. In the pause of surprise tbst followed the ballot, a member of the San Francisco delegation explained that the whola thing had been a con spiracy ob thslr part to bring about a thorough discussion of the question. With cheers and handclapplng the de fenders acknowledged that the Joke was on them. L. B. Thresher led the closing discus sion of the sfternoon session, on the question of whether the National As sociation should have an official period ical. The meeting was adjourned at ( and convened again at 7:30 to give Mr. Thresher an opportunity to complete his srgument. The entire convention Agreed with his suggestion that the periodical. . the National Rotarlan. or one similar to It. should be continued as the of ficial monthly organ of the association. L. B. Mettler. of Kansas City., led a discussion In which the assembly de cided In favor of a resolution that In future the Rotary associations should not mlthhold their plan of organization from publicity, and should work toward the elimination of the features In It which make It resemble In some re spects a secret organization. The meeting last night was followed with an Informal reception by the Port land Cosssmerclal Club to the visiting delegates and -their friends. Business seems to sit lightly on the shoulders of the Rotarlans. The sssem bly yesterdsy comprised perhaps the largest representation of strong busi ness men from all parts of the I'nlted States that has ever been brought to gether In one room In Portland. While their business session waa on they ac complished an enormous amount of rou tine work, but after Its close they larked like boys all the say. to the hesdquaretrs. and their most dignified members Joined In the sport of decorat ing one another's backs with the Panama-Pacific buttons that the San Fran cisco delegates bsd scattered among them. They will lay business entirely eslde today, and boarding the steamer Mon arch at S o'clock, the, whole Rotarlan throng will go for an excursion up to Cascsde Locks and a luncheon under the trees at Bonneville. They will not take on the yoke of business cares con nected with the convention again until the calling of the general committee meetings at S o'clock tonight after their return.

TUESDAY, AUGUST GRAFT DAY STORMY Accused and Accuser Fight at Hearing. Talk PERJURY CHARGES MADE Two Testify That Fercot Swore Falsely In Denying Knowledge of Protection Fund Hearing Halts Cntll Next Week. . A general squabble In which charges were hurled In every direction and which for a time threatened to break out In a free-for-all fight, culminated yesterday's session of the graft inves tigation before the County Court. In which County Detective Maher Is ac cused of conspiring with F. L. Perkins, a newspaper reporter, of forcing "pro tection money" from North End saloon keepers and others. After two Frenchmen had told-jon the witness stand that Fercot, one of the alleged supporters of the protection fund, had admitted that he had per jured himself In denying his connec tion with the case. Judge Cleeton an nounced that unless the prosecution had something more of a substantial nature to support the charges against Maher. he did not care to hear any fur ther testimony. Attorney Fouts said that he had other witnesses he In tended to produce. Then Attorney Clark, on the other side, said that the Frenchmen had all perjured themselves on the trial and he suggested that all be Indicted on charges of perjury, that the truth, might be brought out. Fonts and Maher Clash. Fouts declared Detective Maher had Intimidated the French witnesses al ready by threatening to shoot them. He declared that Maher had been de cidedly active In the case and had gone so far as to threaten Fouts himself and for doing so had to he admonished by one of the County Commissioners. Maher then broke In with a declaration that Fouts was open to criticism and Investigation In a case concerning two of his clients. This led to a general talkfeet In which Maher. Perkins. Fer cot. the District Attorney, and others came In for general criticism and which, but for the Interference of the court, might have resulted In blows. It broke out again after court adjourned but quieted before any trouble re sulted. In yesterday's hearing A. H. Perry, newspsper reporter, testified that he had started an investigation of vice conditions In the North End. He said he waa attempting tor his paper to get at the facts In regarl to graft ru mors and said he had conferred with Captain Bailey, of the police depart ment, and obtained from him a list of places at which to look for Informa tion. He said he had found nothing against Maher. Henry Libert, a French Insursnce agent, testified that he was at Sea side the morning of August IT and visited Fercot. He said that Fercot was not 111. as had been reported In Portland, and that he had told him (Libert) that he had had too much notoriety out of the local Investigation and for that reason wanted to get out of IL-Fercot. he said, told him Perkins and eputy District Attorney Frank Collier had visited him at 2 o'clock that morning and obtained an affidavit In the case. Denial Advised, Testified. Libert said Fercot 'declared he had denied everything In the affidavit and that he had done so at the Instigation of Ed Donovan. A. Methlvler, another Frenchman, who was with Libert, told a similar story and declared that Fer cot had dented that he had contributed to the Jackpot merely to escape noto riety at Seaside where. Methlvler said. Fercot has a good name. At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Cleeton announced that nothing whatever had been broaht out so far against Maher and said he would hear no more testimony unless it was against Maher. Attorney Fouts prom ised to produce witnesses against Ma her and the case went over until next week, the date to be set later. Y. M. C. A.

JOHNS, Or.. Aug. 21. (To the Editor.) I would like to call the at tention of the charter commissions (both kinds) to the following clipped from The Oregonlan of Aug. 17, 1911, Page 10: At the meeting of the Water Board yes terday T. B. Wilcox, one of the members, suggested that the City Council should re scind about half the ordinances which have been passed for the hard-surfacing of streets. Mayor Rushlight concurred in this view. It was pointed out that these improve ments are la many Instances forced on prop erty owners. Mayor Rushlight told of a young man of Montavllla who visited him a few days ako and complained that he was paying for his home on the installment plan, that it cost $2soo and he had paid all but $lloo. The street Improvement cost S.V.".. and he could bond the place for only $300. and was unable to raise the difference of 233 to meet the street assessment. The Mavor said ha was helpless In that case. He told of another Instance where a property owner turned over 21 lots to the street contractor, because the lots were wortb only J30O each, while the street as sessment was $400 a lot. "The contractor tried to sell them to me." said the Mayor. If this Is true, and there Is no rea son to doubt It. Is It highway robbery or Just plain stealing? Was the man that lost his 21 lots "benefited" by the street Improvement; will the contractor get a Judgment .against him for the other $100 per lot? And the young man at Montavllla his lot assesa-s4 at $300, street Improvement. 1535. cannot raise the 1235 cash, with the result that the property will be sold. But of course, he can rent It from the con tractor, or whoever buys It. I can not help saying that a City Engineer who will plan and recommend such an Improvement as suitable and nocessary. snd a City Council that will accept such plan and order by resolution such Improvements made, are in my opinion (whatever that Is worth) incompetent to the last degree to hold the offices for which they draw salaries. And these two cases cited are only two out of hundreds that cO'il.1 be cited In the City of Portland. Many small home owners now will be renters soon, because of the practical confisca tion of their little homes by the cost of street and sewer work. Now how can this be preventej In future? By putting the following clause In the new city charter: Limit of Assessment No lot, part thereof or psrcel of land shall be as sessed for any local or special Improve ment to exceed 60 per cent of the ss sessed valuation of such lot. part thereof or parcel of land, as the tame may appear on the last annual assess ment roll of the County Assessor for Multnomah County, Oregon, except up on the express consent of the owner of such land or his duly authorized agjnt. first obtained In writing. This little clause in the charter will do more to curb the activities of the paving trust (If there Is any) than any other thing that can be done. This clause, it is fair to say. Is a part of the charter of St. Johns and while It has at times been the cause of delay in street Improvements. It has also pre vented confiscation of property or hardship on the little home owner. An attempt waa made to change this clause In our charter two years ago but the voters refused to change It. And perhaps you may ask: What con cern Is It to the people of St. Johns what Is In the new charter of Portland? Just this: The voters of St. Johns voted by a majority of 66 votes to annex to Portland and it Is likely that the voters of St. Johns will be voters In Portland when the new charter Is submitted to the people for ratification or rejection, and may Insist upon hav ing the same protection for the little home owner that they now enjoy. Miles of hard-surface streets and boulevards are splendid for automo bile owners, but how does the poor devil that had his home eaten up to pay for them feel about It? This Is not a theory but a condition that actu ally exists today. Some time ago I called at the Auditor's office In Portland to Inquire as to the methods used in mak ing street assessments for Improve ments and happened to mention the fact that our charter set a limit on the ESSIONS OF ROTARY CLUBS OP s t unica i VV .- ." w- '.I' I" ', t ,' H: -.

I was informed that there was no such limit imposed by the Portland charter. I then asked how they regulated the amount that could be assessed against a lot. and was told by the deputy with whom I was talking" that the regula tion was very simple. He said that when the Council passed a resolution to Improve a stree the contractors ex amined the plans and specifications and looked the street over, and if they thought that after the Improvement was made, they could sell the lot or parcel of land, together with the street Improvements, for enough to pay for the Improvements they would bid on the Job. but if they thought they could not sell lot, street Improvements and all, for the cost of the Improvements AMERICA.

FEATHER HARVEST LURES Young Women Employed at Daks Watch Ostriches Avidly. Young; women employed at the Oaks have learned that It- is almost time for the harvesting of a crop of feathers at the ostrich farm, and every girl and woman, at the Oaks has been plotting and planning to get an ostrich plume from this harvest. The ostriches at the Oaks are all prime birds, and yield good and valu able plumes every eight months. The birds 'wer last plucked early in the year, and their manager is making preparations for another gathering of the long feathers. Young women em ployed at the Oaks have but one fear, however, and that Is that the birds will not be plucked until after the farm closes for the season. So far Miss Tlrty Broadwlck. the girl aeronaut. Is the only young. woman of the Oaks family who feels sure of a "feather." Miss Broadwlck say, she will get one, even If she has to drop CLASSIFIED AD.
