SITE LEFT WITH PEOPLE Auditorium Commission Says Will Act as Majority Wiabea. It Th Auditorium Commission has tak- n th preliminary steps to selecting a alts for th auditorium bo'ldlng by eliminating from consideration th Ex position building sit at Nineteenth and Washington streets and asking th East Side Business Men's Club to rec- commend a site on the Eaat Side.

"We want th auditorium exactly where the people want It to be," said B. Vtllcox. chairman of th Commis sion. "If th people want U building on th East Slds w win select a sits there. If th Market-street sit is con sidered good enough we will select It and secure the property adjoining It on ths south.

TTi Eaat Side Business Men's Club baa spoken In favor of the Market- street site and will be willing to ac cept It, If It Is th selection of the Commission.

Property Owners to Urge Official to Grant Privilege to Railway Com pany That Asphalt May Be Laid Next Spring:. As refusal by the city to grant a franchise to the Portland Railway, Light dc Power Company for Its Una on the Sandy boulevard is the only obstruction in the way of proposed hard-surface improvements on th boulevard, a large delegation . of prop erty owners Is planning to appear be fore the street committee of the City Council next Tuesday to urgs the city to grant the franchise. The delegation will represent Greg ory Heights. Elmhurst, Beaumont. Hyde Park, Wellington. Argyle, Rosa City Park. Rossmere and other dis tricts along and near the boulevard which will be helped by the street Im provement. Er L. Thompson, a property-owner. says ths petitioners desire the fran chise to be granted that the street committee and the Council may let contracts for the work. Bids have been opened and found satisfactory. There was considerable contention among the construction companies as to which variety of pavement would he laid and v the property-owners were divided between bitullthlc and asphalt paving, the hitulithle being the mora expensive. Mr. Thompson says th property-owners have decided that phalt, as figured on by the Inde pendent Paving Company, will be sat isfactory. That company being th lowest bidder and promising to rush ths work, the property-owners prob ably will recommend us of paving as bid on by the concern. The plan of the property-owners is to extend the hard-surface from ThU ty-slxth- street to the city limits, at Eighty-second street. From that point an effort will be made by the prop erty-owners to obtain the help of the county in widening Sandy Road and improving It with seml-hard-surfaclng; to Trout dale. It Is proposed to make this on of th most attractive boule vards In th city. Th road now la heavily traveled and is noted for its attractive scenery. It courses th bank of the Columbia River and in many placea passes through attractlvs forests. The property-owners desire to have the contract for the work let as soon as possible, that the work may be be gun tn th Spring. O'DAY WOULHALT RAID Attorney Declare Potice Ront Chi nese Illegally Clients Freed. "I propose to obtain an injunction restraining th police from entering Chlneae places of business without a search warrant. They have no right to do so, and It is a disgrace that they are permitted to act as they do," announced Attorney Thomas O'Day in the Municipal Court yesterday morn ing. He waa defending Wong On and Ah Gow against charges of conducting a lottery game and of having lottery tickets at 87 Second street. They were arrested by Patrolman Burrt Novem ber z. "There are two barrels to this Po lice Department, and they ar contin ually directed against each other." said Mr. O'Day. "They are Jealous of each other and the Chinese are mad th scapegoata of their warfare. For fear the gang working under on barrel HI get ahead of the gang working under th other barrel, the gangs un der both barrels are constantly pick ing onto ths Chinamen." Patrolman Burr! testified that he had been accustomed to visit the place where the arrest was made, and other places on bis beat In Chinatown, every hour. "Well, haven't they got a store there? Isn't it a leglUinat plaee of business?" asked Mr. O'Day. "No, Just a plain gambling place," replied the patrolman. Well, they hav cigars there, haven't theyT" 'About $4 worth, but they keep them locked up tight." answered Bjrrl. 'Well, I expect they would If you'r around there every hour," said Attor ney O'Day. After the examination the policeman began a statement to the court. I object to the policeman arguing this case unless he can show a license to practice law." Mr. O'Day said. The Chinese who had the tickets said they were merely records of pur chases. Patrolman Burrl told the court that a Chinaman had testified that they are lottery tickets. Judge Taswell dismissed the case. saying that If the police wished to prosecute lottery cases they must have Chlaese Interpreter to Identify the evidence or must prove their case In other ways. In two similar cases defended by At- orney O'Day recently th accused Ori entals were dlschsrged. In the first case Ah Toy, Mr. O'Day's servant boy, waa accused of having lottery tickets In his possession, and Ah Toy testi fied that they were merely memoranda of sums owed him by , persons for whom he had done odd chores. 15-CENT WARRANT SIGNED Mayor and Auditor Also I sane Order for 1 100.000.
