City's Chief Saj 3ItnJstr la Misin formed ad Offer to Prove. Con ditions Better Than at Tim Ho Entered Office. Mavor Rushlight returned to Port ' land on a. Great Northern train at 9:50 - last night from Vancouver. B. C, "When .kAitt inmon of Rev. W. B. Hlnson at the "White Temple Sunday . tn which the creacher advocated ... ,.it of thr Mayor If he did not i cop Tilth -what the preacher asserted were highly immoral conditions now 1 existing within the city, ho showed surprise and said Dr. Hlnson is be neath hta notice. "I do not propose to make a state ment now." the Mayor aald. "I have not read the story and do not care "very much whether I do or not. al though I shall probably go through it. T am pursuing my own course, regard less of what other people say or think about It. I shall have my say in due time. Meanwhile I shall let my ac tions speak for me." "When tolf that Rev. Mr. Hlnson Im plied very strongly that Portland was "taken by the throat by the worst kind of tricky politicians and debased sa loonkeepers and friends of Infamy" and' that moral conditions were- worse at present than they had been for years, the Mayor said: "Mr. Hlnson and I are unacquainted. I have never met the gentleman. But If he has made such- a statement, be was highly misinformed, and I con sider him beneath my notice." City Better, KushUght Insists. "To you think moral oonditions have Imnroved within the last three months?" the Mayor was asked. "Do I think ltr ha replied. "I know it. If any t" or woman wanted to come with me and take the trouble to investiarate. 1 could .show him a few things that would leave no doubt in his mind that moral conditions In this city have improved vastly since I went Into office. If neocle knew what I know about' theso things they would open their eyes. Not only have-moral con ditions Improved since I have ' taken over-the office of Mayor, bnt they are continually improving. ' -The statement that the present ad ministration is . taking a complacent attitude toward any attempt to 'open this city is absolutely untrue." Mayor Rushlight was told that Rev. Mr. Hlnson scored the "policy or si lence" which the preacher aald the Mayor had declared waa his. ( "I do not exactly know what the gentleman means by my policy of si lence." said the Mayor, "unless he-re fers to my announcement when I went Into offte that I would let my actions speak for me. I shall continue this policy without regard to what preach ers. newspapers, or other persons have to say about me. I do not propose to squabble with any one on the subject. I regard such things as beneath my notice." Mayor Rushlight's attention railed to the reference by Rev. Mr. Hinson that 300 parasites were at pres ent walking the streets 6t the city. - Hlnson Declared in Error. "I have nothing to say as to that." the Mayor said. "That may be the way Mr. Hlnson has sized things up. But there are other persons who see things differently." The Mayor agreed that the police de partment was not giving satisfaction, but said tbat Rev. Mr. Hinson erred in comparing the police deparment to the Army and Navy. Conditions In the Army .and Navy, he said, were such that any insubordination or Inattention to duty could be speedily coped with, while the police department was under civil service rules, where It was not such an easy matter to punish recal citrant men so speedily. T hlle in Vancouver, the Mayor ex amined the garbage crematory there, w Inch Is built along the same lines as the new one in Portland. He said the superintendent of the Vancouver Crem atory told him that the plant was at present handling 41 tons of refuse a day. while It has a capacity of 150 tons. If necessary, and that it was found In every way satisfactory. Mayor Rushlight said that other mat. ters also'-engagred his attention while away, and that, while ha had nothing to say regarding them now, he might have some , announcements to make later. Mayor Rushlght left Portland for his northern trip at 3 P. M. Friday, and during his absence Councilman Baker was Acting Mayor. The absence of the Mayor for something more than three days was the longest of a chief executive of Portland for many years. John B. Coffey, who accompanied Mm on his trip north, also, returned to the city with the Mayor last night. He Is chairman of the police committee of the Executive Board. f Kline. International president of the j Blacksmiths' Union, who has been aot tng as spokesman for the Eastern labor leaders now In this city. Kline saia ne naa received a numoer oi tele grams from Eastern cities to the effect that the shopmen favor arbi tration, providing all efforts fail to gain from the railroad officials recog nition of the federation. Kline says he expects that by Friday 35 delegates, comprising the general committees ef the shopmen employed by the Harrlman system, will be in this city for a conference, and that the ar bitratlon question then will receive consideration. On Saturday night the Ave presidents of shopcrafts issued a formal statement In response to one mads public a few days before by General Manager Kruttschnitt, outlining the position- of the Federation, and stating that the Federation plan is now in force on 14 of the big railroad systems of the United States, all of them as much under the control of the Government and as much responsible to the public as the Harrlman system.. The Eastern labor leaders took part In the Labor day parade today.

Receiver Tobln answered questions as to the management of the property of the depositors and the sale of the bank building and lot In Lents. It appeared that the transactions are somewhat complicated and involved, and Attorney Idleman was instructed to secure an abstract of the bank's property in or der to ascertain its present status, ow ing to its Involved condition. Mr. Idleman Informed the depositors that he would be able to complete the abstract by Wednesday, September 13, when another meeting of depositors will be held to hear his report. It has been reported around Lents that some of the larger depositors had been settled with, and would not press the case against Myers, the president, but this was denied vigorously at the meeting last night, and it was declared to be the desire of the depositors that the bank's officers should be pros ecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and several said that they cared little about the money they have lost. If they can bring the officers, to justice. GREEKS OFFER BRIBE EFFORT MADE TO XEASE MAN ACCUSED OF MURDER. CHARTER PROBLEM Control of Public Service Cor porations Favored by East Side Body.

Friends of Prisoner Take $1500 to District Attorney .Mulkey, Who . Orders ' Arrests, MEDFORD, Or, Sept 4. (Special.) Attempts to bribe District Attorney B. F. Mulkey to cause the release of George Boglas, Indicted for the murder of Christ Spanos. resulted in the Jail ing of Boglas' brother. Spanos son and two other Greeks tonight. Flfteea hundred dollars was offered the Dis trict Attorney If he would do what was asked. The fact that young Spanos should ask for the release of a man accused of the murder of his father, is attrib uted to possible bribery and a prom ise on the part of Boglas' friends that money would be sent to his father's widow In Greece. These men have been with young Spanos for soma time, and it nas been noted that he testified for the prosecution before the grand jury in a half-hearted way. The four Greeks left Medford this afternoon for Jacksonville with $1500 recently drawn from the bank. They went to the District Attorney and made plain to him that his assistance was worth $1500 to them. The District Attorney admitted that they were offering him a large re tainer, but tactfully refused it and as soon as they left his house, telephoned the Medford police to arrest the Greeks on arrival here. CHILDREN ARE OUTWITTED California. Bride Is Mother-in-Law . of ex-Statesman. Vexatious problems of municipal ownership were threshed over by the people's charter commission (East Side) for nearly four hours last night, and only a beginning was made of the task. The report of the subcommittee on municipal ownership, submitted by H. G. Parsons, chairman, was finally referred with Instructions to modify It to the extent that It should provide for the acquisition by the municipality not only of all public service corporations now operating In the city, but all other such corporations which might In the future be established within the juris diction of the proposed commission government. The subject will receive further consideration at another meet ing of the commission Thursday night. As submitted, the report conferred on the commission the power to construct, condemn and purchase, or purchase at fair valuation any waterworks plant or property, gas." electricity, heat or pow er plants, sewers, also plants conduct ing, under direction of the commission, 11 street Improvements. The commit tee received Instructions so to amend Its report as to Include telephone plants and other public service properties. .Valuation Clause Up. Another amendment ordered by tha general committee will provide that on petition of 5 per cent of the total vote cast for Governor -in the preceding election, the commission of five mem bers shall ascertain the physical valu ation of all public service corporations for the purpose of determining wheth er or not such properties can be oper ated by the municipality without en tailing a deficit This information Is Intended to serve as a basis for the commission In determining the actual value of these properties, and also for fixing rates and prescribing the serv ice to be rendered by these corpora tions. H. D. Wagnon appeared before the committee and declared that any char, ter which the committee might frame would not meet with the approval of the voters of the city If It did not pro vide a simple and direct method by which the municipality might acquire ownership of all public service corpor ations. In this connection, Mr. Par sons advocated, giving away franchises to such corporations without price, but at the same time see to It that the cost of service was reduced for the benefit of patrons. He favored this plan rather than the present practice of seeking to obtain from corporations en tering the city a financial considera tion for-thelr franchises. . Firemen Would Organize.
