CHARTER BODY HAS
STORMY GATHERING
Graft and Monopoly Charges
Hurled at Bitulithic Pav
ing Company.
ALMOST NO ACTION TAKEN
ConunUttion Passes Favorably on
One Section Sobmltlril. but Voles
Down or Delays Othrr Pro
posals After Hot Debate.
After three hours of hot debate that
t times bordered perilously close upon
personalities, the people's charter com
mission adjourned late last night, bav
ins passed favorably upon a single
section that had been submitted.
Dr. Harry Lane's amended section,
aimed to put a cheek on "watering"
stock by public service corporations,
was, after lone diitcusslon, referred to
him for the third time to be presented
at the next meeting In an amended
form.
W. C. Benbow declared that he be
lieved the Council could be empowered
directly to forbid Issuance of stocks
or bonds In excess of the actual value
f a company's proiert- and suggested
that Dr. Lane's provision approached
the matter In too round-about a way.
Cearta IleU Arbiters.
I believe that we should fro the
limit.- he said. "In conferring power
upon the city and leave It to the courts
" to decide whether or not we overstep
the bound-."
It. W. Montague pointed out that the
powers conferred in Dr. Lane's amend
ment were already fully covered by
other provisions in the charter and
when Isaac Mwett suggested that the
amendment should nevertheless be In
corporated In the charter, saying thst
It could "do no harm and might do
some good." Mr. Montague denounced
such action as dangerous.
This practice of putting In things
because they 'can't do any harm' mere
ly clogs up the charter with useless
words and is pernicious In the last de
gree." he said. "It Is an indefinite and
slipshod manner of doing that should
not be Indulged In In the framing; of
an organic law." '
il. G. Parsons' amendment, directed,
as he said, "to break up the grip of the
paving trust." was brought forward
and Its discussion pro and con con
sumed the remainder of the session. Of
the three sections In the amendment,
one was rejected, one adopted and the
other dropped without a vole being
taken.
RHaltthlc resspaay Attacked.
The first section of the Parsons
amendment provided that plans and
specifications in bidding for laying of
pavements should not specify any pave
ment by name, and that there should
he at least three general specifica
tions stating the ingredients, propor
tions anil method of preparation. In
endeavoring to explain the purpose of
the amendment, which was declared by
several of the other members to he
"meaningless and useless." Mr. Par
sons made statement that the bltu-
' Jithic paving company had obtained
trip on thia city and was using In
fluence to prevent open competition for
paving.
Ulvlng a long list of statistics as to
the relative amount of bitulithic par
ing that had been laid In Portland and
In other cities of the United States.
Mr. Parsons said:
"On account of its unfairness and
over-charges, the bitulithic paving
company has been driven out of prac
tically every other city In the United
btatcs-
"I beg to say." broke In Mr. Mon
tague, -that the statement that the
bitulithic paving company has been
driven out of other cities In the Unit
ed States is absolutely untrue."
"I bear your pardon." retorted Mr.
Parsons, "but It Is absolutely true."
Craft aargra Made.
The speaker struck another spark of
protest from his bearers when he said
that "everyone Is aware of the craft
trat nad been exercised by the bitu
lithic paving company."
"When Mr. Parsons refers so point
edly to s common knowledge of Im
proper dealings by the bitulithic pav
ing company." said Mr. Montague. "I
.want to say that I think he la going
a trifle far. None of us have such
knowledge. I hsve not and 2 don't
believe that anj of the men here have.
I resent such a statement."
IV hen put to a vote the section wss
rejected, with Mr. Parsons) and Mr.
Umbos alone voting In favor of It.
The second section, providing that the
paving for street Intersections should
The a charge tipon the city, and that the
city might Issue bonds for Its pave
ment without a vote of the people, was
carried without protest.
When the last section of the amend
ment was brought up. a discussion
arose as to whether the word "shall"
should be used, making It obligatory
upon the city to exact an Indemnifying
bond from the contractor for paving,
to protect It against litigation arising
from alleged Infringement of paving
patents; or whether the word "may"
should be Introduced, making It op
tional. Discussion became general,
with the prevailing sentiment evidently
against the section regardless of Its
wording.
Ianeaa A a.wrr Bitter.
"Do you Insist upon the wording set
forth here?" rAierled Dr. Lane, who was
presiding In the absence ef A. E. Clark,
chairman of the Commission.
"Jio its of Insisting on anything" re
plied Mr. Parsons, with a gesture of
surrender, "loo have turned the city
over to the paving trust."
The meeting adjourned shortly after,
allowing this section to drop by tacit
consent, without taking a rote.
The Commission expects to. hold an
other session tonight, to check UP lis
amendment with the existing cMirte.r,
and Intends to turn Its work over to
the engrossing committee tomorrow.
SALVATION SCETS AT WAR
General Xrnffln, of Salvation Army,
Sajs lUval Leader Is Deserter
War ha broken out between the
American Salvation Army and the
Nazarene Camp, rival militant religions
organizations, and on appeal from
'.eneral Jaroea W. Duffln. commander-
in-chief of the former, with headquar
ters In Philadelphia, the controversy
has been carried before Chief of Po
lice Stover.
In the general's communication. Gen
eral William Stacey. commander of the
Nazarenes, with headquarters at 143
Kussell street In this city. Is branded
as a deserter, who In abandoning nis
post at Seattle, carried away with him
property belonging to the Salvation
Army.
General Puffin forwarded to Chief
Slover copies of correspondence be-
'"" the rival renerais. In which
Stacey was taken to task for his de
sertion and for bringing discredit on
the army. Stacey replied by saylna;
that his secession was part of a gen
eral one of Salvationists alone tha

Stacey'e organization has been active
in collecting contributions for Christ
mas charity, his solicitors being eta
tioned at every corner where the Sal
vation Army has its post. Chief Slo
wer sees no reason for taking Issue in
the fight.
General Ftacey said last night that
when the two corps under his charge,
the one at Seattle and one In Port
land, broke away from the American
Salvation Army, the Portland corps
Was In rihf C i ' . u- i. a
. 1 . . i ' o uiieceu
to turn over all the furniture of both
corps to General Duffln if the latter
would pay General Stacey $J00. which
he said he had put Into the work on
tne coast.
"I didn't like to be mixed up In a
legal flgnt over religion." said Stacey,
"and. furthermore. General Duffln sent
a field officer to St. .Louis and put
him over me. after promising me the
t,oast i traveled with the 'Passion
Play' for 1 years, going from church
to church In Canada. England. Ger
many and this country. I figure I have
lost 10.000 since I have been with the
salvation Army, as there was never
year that we did not save 15000 with
my 'Paeslon Play.' We are now Incor
porated under tile name. 'Nazarene
Army of America.' We broke away
from the American Salvation Army
about a year ago. We now have
corps In San Francisco, and one at
Grand Island. Neb.
"I used to have to send 4 cents on
every dollar we took In to the St.
Louis officer, and 10 cents to General
Duffln. I received 3 cents. My books
will show where I have spent my
money, and are open to Inspection."

Efforts of the ways and means com
mittee of the City Council to cut down
Mayor Rushlight's 1912 budget provid
ing a tax levy of 6.2 mills were of no
avail. The committee, after consider
ing the details of the estlmatea of ex
penses for next year, made a few mi
nor changes in the levy yesterday and
sent the budget to the Council with
Rev. W. C. Hays, Who Will Head
Local Presbyterlaa Mlaaloa. t
recommendatlona that it be passed.
The only changes made were the do
crease of the park and police estimates
each one one-hundredth of a mill and
the Increase of the estimates of the
street cleaning and ftre departments
each one one-hundredth of a mill. The
levy as adopted will bring the city
11.270,000, which is about 2200.000 more
than the amount raised for 1911- on a
levy of mills.
The waya and means committee had
Intended using the pruning knife in
the police department estimate by cut
ting out provision for B0 new police
men. Mayor Rushlight ' protested
against this action, declaring that the
department Is In great need of more
men. Chief Slover originally had
asked for 75 new men. That number
waa cut down to BO. The committee
considered the advisability of cutting
out the B0 extra men, but later, when
shown the need of more policemen, it
voted to let the estimate stand as It
was, with the single exception of cut
ting the levy one one-hundredth of a
mill by dropping chauffeurs for the
police patrol automobile.
Need ( More Police Seeau
Mayor Rushlight said he had inves
tigated the police situation In detail
and considered the 60 additional po
licemen absolutely necessary. "The
outlying residence districts are not
properly policed at present." said the
Mayor. "Conditions there are no worse
than in the uptown districts, where at
night it is hard to find a policeman.
One man has so much territory to
cover he cannot attend to it properly.
There are 224 men on the force and
they have B2 square miles of territory
to cover. It Is possible at night to
go In an automobile for hours without
Golley appeared at the marriage II
cense counter at the Courthouse, with
Miss A. E. Northrup. Mrs. Northrup's
daughter, as a witness, ana the license

"1 have a friend who la a Justice of

tive bride, "and I'll bring him up here
and have him perform the ceremony.
So be brought Mr. Justice buck with
him and the supposed magistrate pro

"Hold on there," spoke up Mrs.
Northrup. "That isn't ths way I was
married before."
"That's all I ever do. I just sign up
the license for them when they come
to me," quoth the "fake" Justice of the
Peace.
"1 never beard of a marriage where
the minister or the judge didn't ask
any questions and where you didn't
make any vows." retorted Mrs. North
rup. "You're no Justice of the Peace."
she fairly screamed, '"and you get out,
both of you. Golley, I never want to
see you again."

"I didn't whack them on the head."
said Mrs. Northrup yesterday in tell
ing of her experiences, "but I would
have If they hadn't gone when they
did. The Justice I have forgotten his
name didn't ask us to stand up at all.
He didn't ask us anything. He Just
sat down and started to fill out that
paper. I told Golley he could take
his license back.
"I know what's right and I am go
ing to stick to it- I was married, once
before and my husband has been dead
five years, and I know 'what the cere
mony was that time."
Mrs. Northrup's advertisement for a

vertisements In last (Sunday's paper. It
read:

Gipsy Smith meetings the rural dis
tricts were absolutely unprotected.
With the Klks convention coming, the
city will be absolutely up against It
for policemen unless the 60 additional
men are allowed."
Vialtlag Chief Sees No "Cops.?
Acting Chief Slover declared that
during the crime wave of the last few
days he has had to work his men al
most night and day and the efficiency
of the department was greatly lowered.
He said Chief of Police Barlow, of Salt
Lake City, was here a short time ago
and passed two hours walking the
streets trying to find a policeman. He
finally gave up his search and went to
the station to see what a Portland po
liceman looks like.
The hundredeth-of-a-mlll levy taken
from the police estimate was applied
to the fire department levy to cover the
cost of acquiring a fire station site on
the Peninsula.
The cut In the park department was
made possible by dropping work which
had been planned and the Increase In
the street cleaning and sprinkling fund
was considered necessary to cover the
additional cost of newly constructed
streets. The levy does not provide for
any increase In the salaries of city em
ployes. Every request for a raise has
been referred to the Mayor's special
salary committee and every request for
more pay made in the department esti
mates was cut out by the Mayor In his
budget.

Building or Coyote CntOff Not to Be
Begun Until Umatilla Plans Are
infinitely Settled.
Pending a final determination by the
Government authorities as to whether
or not the Umatilla reclamation project
will be extended westward, the O.-W.
R. & N. Co. is temporarily holding up
the proposed Coyote cut-off. This In
formation was confirmed yesterday by
J. D. Farrell. president of the O.-W. R.
& N. system. At the same time Mr.
Farrell made the announcement that
for the same reasons a decision has
not been reached as to the selection of
a terminus for his railroad system in
the district directly concerned.
Some time ago it was announced that
if the west extension of the Umatilla
Irrigation project was abandoned, the
O.-W. R. & N. would build the Coyote
cut-pff. beginning near Stanfleld, and?
running through the area appropriated
as a reservoir site, ine iact mat sur
veyors, in the employ of the O.-w. R.
& N., are in the field with headquarters
at Pendleton, is taken as positive evi
dence by residents of that section that
the railroad company has substantial
evidence that the west extension of
the Umatilla project would not be fur
thered. This supposition Is denied by Mr.
Farrell. who declares that the future
operations of his company in Uma
tilla County depend entirely on what
action the Government finally takes
respecting reclamation work.
"Until the controversy between rival
interests concerned in the proposed ex
tension of the Umatilla reclamation
project have been adjusted and finally
determined." said Mr. Farrell, presi
dent of the O.-W. R. & N., yesterday,
"the plans of the O.-W. P.. & N. in that
territory will be postponed. WTe have
our plans but their execution depends
entirely upon the decision of the Rec
lmatlon Department as to the Umatilla
project. In the meantime, the ques
tion of a terminus in the affected ter
ritory has not and will not be deter
mined." Concert by Apollo Club

NEW heartiness, stronger ensemble
effect and more confidence made
memorable the pleasure-giving concert
last night by the Apollo Club, at the
Masonic Temple auditorium. The assist
ing soloist was Miss Louise Brehany,
soprano, of San Francisco, and both
she and the Apollo Club scored suc
cesses. The choral conductor was
William H. Boyer and the piano accom
panists were Edgar E. Coursen and
William C. McCulloch. Mr. Coursen
was also accompanist to Miss Brehany.
Mr. Boyer certainly had the 48 mem
bers of the Apollo Club who sang under
his direction welded Into a singing unit.
His lead was quickly and faithfully
followed and the tempos were well
taken. The programme was one to
please all tastes. There were soft,
murmuring sephyrs, serenades, battle
songs and fierce choruses that sounded
of conflict. Five choruses were sung
with piano accompaniment and three
without. It was Instructive to note
that the latter created better lasting
impressions, although as a matter of
fact every chorus selection was cor
dlully received. The one popular hit
of the concert was Young E. Allison's
awe-compelling, red-blooded "On Board
the Derelict." set to weird, shivering
music by Francis Campbell. The first
verse, which pierced the audience
through and through, was:
Fifteen men on the dead roan's chest.
Yeo, ho, ho, and a bottle e' ruml
Drink and the devil had done for the rest.
Yeo. ho, ho. and a bottle o' rami
The mats was fixed by the bo'an's pike.

It had been gripped by tinsers ten;
They lay. all good dead men.
Like break o' day In a booslng-pen:
Yeo. ho. ho. and a bottle o rum!
The Apollo boys sang It with a mas
culinity that was irresistible and a
hardened, cynical swing that " went
home. All hearers present were duly
Impressed and many men nodded with
conviction.
"The Battle Hymn of the Monks'
made a good premiere and "Come,
Charm of Night," with a finely sung
short solo by Dom J. Zan, had soft
charm In It- The old Irish favorite,
"Believe Me if AH Those Endearing
Toung Charms." was sung a capella
and with such tenderness that its repe
tition was demanded. "Break, Break,
Break" was effective, while the soft
finish of Dudley Buck's "Good Night."
a favorite number In Portland, was de
servedly admired. Max Filke's
"Spring Night" was a satisfactory
finale and was sung as a chorus, with
solo by Miss Brehany and a double
male quartet, consisting of Frank B.
