owner wishes to burn," said Mr. Woods,
"when there is no occasion whatever
for the trip."
Section seven of the state fire law
provides: "That during the period be
tween June 1 and October 1. it shall be
unlawful for any person to burn slash
Ings, brush or timber land without a
written permit from a warden.
This section, however, further states,
"This restriction shall not apply to th
burning of log piles, stumps or brush
heaps in small quantities, under ade
quate precautions and personal control,
and in accordance with-any regulations
which may.be adopted by the State
Board of Forestry."
It can readily be seen that in a large
number of cases no permit is required
to burn. The State Board has ruled that
when burning is done It must be con
tinuously watched, and the law pro
vides that if fires escape, the one doing
the burning is held strictly accountable
for all damage. If there is doubt In
any person's mind as to the safety of
burning even log heaps or brush, prop
erly piled and safeguarded, Mr. Woods
advises having a fire wardens as
sistance. But if this is not the case,
burning may be done as Indicated with

Woman's Attorney Says Denial of
Having Talked to Her of Case
Will Be Made.
An affidavit will be filed In the Circuit
Court today by W. A. WalUs, a mem
ber of the Jury which last week re
turned a verdict for $50,000 in favor
of the plaintiff in the breach of prom
lse suit of Helen M. Ooodeve against R.
H. Thompson, Jr. Wallis is alleged, in
an affidavit filed by Wilbur Le Gette.
Jr., to have talked the case over in
detail with Mrs. Goodeve while the trial
was in progress. H. S. Lusk. one of
Mrs. Goodeve's attorneys, said yester
day that in the sworn statement, Mr.
Wallis will admit meeting Mrs. Goodeve,
but will deny that the case was- talked
over. Mrs. Goodeve says Mr. Lusk has
subscribed to an affidavit confirming
the juror's contentions.
Arguments on the motion for setting
aside of the verdict and the granting
of a new trial probably will come up
before Judge McGinn tomorrow. There
also will be before the judge affidavits
of other Jurors stating that during the
progress of the trial Le Gette endeav

man of the jury, once spoke to Judge
McGinn about It and said that he would

was neglected.

court. Le Gette indignantly denied
that he acted as a "stool pigeon" for
the defense in inducing Juror Wallis
to accompany him on the visit to Mrs.

STEEL CONTRACT AWARDED
Northwest Company to Furnish Ma
terial for City's Xew Jail.
The police committee of the Executive
Board decided, at a special meeting at
the City Hall yesterday afternoon, to
award to the Northwest Steel Company
the contract for furnishing the steel for
the new City Jail, emergency hospital
and fire station, to be erected on the
site of the old building. Two bids were
submitted by this company, one for
$31,920, and the other for $27,240. These
were the only bids.
The police committee decided to ac
cept the lower bid, which is for Beth
lehem steel. It will take until January
15, next year, to obtain the steel, how
ever. Had the $31,920 bid been accept
ed, the steel could have been delivered
complete in 45 days, as me company
says it has enougn steel on nana,'
which it could fabricate ana deliver in
that time.
The city is to pay $23,070 for the steel
for the police headquarters and hos
pital, and $4170 for the steel for the
fire station.
SEVEN MOTHER BABE
Girl Learns to Call Each One
"Mamma" in Turn.
FIGHT FOR TOT IS WAGED
Juvenile Court Judge Will Decide
Whether Request of Mrs. Will
Ingram to Adopt Child
Will Be Allowed.
To have had seven "mothers' in five
short years of her life, six of whom
kept her but short parts of a year, has
not dismayed little 5-year-old Leca
Stringer, over whose possession a fight
in the Juvenile Court Is being waged
between the juvenile authorities and
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Younger, who have
been keeping the child. The final act
will come today. Mrs. Will Ingram, of
411 Fourth street, by agreement be
tween her and the Youngers, is the sev
enth "mother" of the tot, and if the
Judge of the court agrees to the
motherhood of Mrs. Ingram, the tot
will have a real mother for the first
time in her life, by adoption.
Leta Stringer Is the child of Osle
Stringer, of Omaha, Neb., but is not the
child of Younger, according to the de
cree of divorce issued to Younger in
Omaha in 1910, which .Younger ob
tained on the grounds of unfaithful
ness. The baby never learned to call
her real mother by that name, and,
when the divorce was granted, she was
given to Younger, who put her In the
care of a relative. '
Through the care of four other
women, all of whom she patiently
learned to call "mamma," she finally
came into the care of Mrs. Mabel
Younger, when Younger married her in
Oakland, Cal., several years ago. 1 Mrs.
Younger, on account of 111 health, came
from Los Angeles, where they had
been living, to Portland. When they
arrived the Youngers had $5, and two
children to take care of George, a 9-year-old
boy of Mrs. Younger by a
former marriage, and the baby Leta, so
they decided that Leta, who was re
lated to neither of them, must be put in
charge of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society.
They took Leta to the Aid Society
home, and Younger told Superintendent
Gardner that they had found the baby
running about the halls In a hotel
where they had stayed, and had adopt
ed her to take care of her. Younger
couldn't tell where the rooming-house
was and the officials doubted his story.
Leta, having failed to find an insti
tutional "mother," was returned to the
Juvenile Court, where Circuit Judge
Gatens, believing that Mrs. Younger
was the child's mother, refused to ac
cept the child for the Aid Society un
less Younger would say that he was
the father and Mrs. Younger the mother
of the baby. Af'.er failing to convince
the court the case was put over until
Wednesday, and the baby was put into
the care of the Youngers, who the
court had formerly decided were not
competent persons to care for her.
Younger had only 35 cents in his
pockets, but he had friends, Will
Ingram and his wife, at whose home
the Youngers were staying, offered to
adopt Leta. and the Youngers consent
ed. Now Leta calls Mrs. Ingram
Mamma," and probably will continue
to do so whether the court so decides
or not.
has started suit In Circuit Court
against H. T. Booth, to collect prin
cipal and interest on a note for $500,
given Mr. Bowerman by Booth, Novem
ber 7, 1911. The defendant was de
fended by Mr. Bowerman in a criminal
trial last Fall, Booth being accused
of withholding money collected for a
San Francisco insurance company, for
which he was district agent in Port
land. He was acquitted by Instructed
verdict. Judge Kavanaugh holding the
prosecution should have been waged
under a statute relating particularly
to Insurance men. Instead of under a
general statute. The note has been
assigned to Attorney Baldwin.
AUTOS AND PILCAUSE WOE
Motorists Prefer Dusty Streets, but
. Residents Want Dust Xot.
Inability of the city street oilers to
keep pace with the automobile trucks
in the neighborhood of Mllwaukle
street has caused all kinds of trouble
for Mayor Rushlight and other officials
and Incidentally has aroused the ire of
several hundred East Side residents
to such an extent that they are
ready to storm either the City Hall or
the drivers of autos and other vehicles.
Some time ago protests began to pile
into the Mayor's office against the
neglect of the city to oil East Fifteenth
street. Milwaukie street has been torn
up for several months and traffic has
been diverted to East Fifteenth street.
In consequence up to a few days ago
every vehicle over the street was fol
lowed by a dust storm.
The Mayor ordered the street oiled
for the benefit of the neighborhood.
When the oil was put down the drivers
seemed to be averse to the oil and took
to Herald street, which parallels East
Fifteenth. In consequence dust storms
now originate from this street and the
neighborhood Is as bad off as ever. The
Mayor has ordered Herald street oiled
and it is expected traffic will divert to
some other street as soon as the oiling
Is done.

'Unconstitutional and contrary to the

of the building inspector the right to

The proposed method of procedure,

for the Council to pass a resolution
authorizing the building inspector to
notify the owner to remove the build

If the owner fails, the building inspec

City Waits on Deirver Convention.
The city will not purchase the 160,000
worth of automobile fire-fighting ap
paratus until after the Denver con
vention of nre chiefs, a month hence,
if the plans of Mayor Rushlight are
carried out. He is now planning to
send Fire Chief Dowell and two others
not yet named to Denver to the con
vention, instead of to San Francisco.
The City Council recently appropriated
1400 to pay the cost or the trip to Ban
Francisco, but the Mayor says this can
be diverted to pay for the Denver trip.
The Denver convention is on Septem

Wagon "Skinner" Still Unconscious.
"Still unconscious and in a serious
condition," was the news at the St.
Vincent's Hospital yesterday with
regard to George Healer, - who was
struck and Injured by a heavy pleoe of
timber, while walking along the run
ning board of a car. Healer had been
employed by a contract company as a
skinner for the headquarters wagon
during the maneuvers of the Guard.
There has been no change in his con
dition since his admission to hospital,
and probably it will be some days be
fore it will be possible to say what
chances there are of his recovery.
Owing to an apparent confusion In
the attitude iOf members of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce to
ward one clause in the Panama-Canal
bill, now before the United states Sen
ate. Senator Bourne telegraphed the
Portland Chamber of Commerce yester
day for a confirmation of the stand
which it took a short time ago. favor
ing the exclusion from the canal of
railroad-owned steamships engaged in
coastwise traffic.
The clause which was in doubt, pro
vided that no railroad-owned or con
trolled steamship should pass through
the canal unless at least 50 per cent
of its cargo, in tonnage. Is destined to
or shipped from Oriental or European
nonts.
A short time ago all of the Chambers
of Commerce on the Pacific Coast went
on record in favor of this provision.
Later, it appeared that about half of
the members of the san Francisco
Chamber had telegraphed their Sena
tors individually, urging that this
clause be stricken from the bill.
The San Francisco Chamber as
whnl again has gone on record in
favor of the exclusion clause and yes
terday a telegram was transmitted to
the Oregon Senator irom me i-oruana
Chamber, reiterating the stand that had
already been taken here.
"It appears that the, Pacific Mall
Steamship Company now has in con
struction for Panama canal traffic, four
ships, which cost several minion dol
lars," said Assistant Secretary Moses
sohn. of the Chamber of Commerce yes-
terdav. "From the Senator's telegram
it appears that R. P. Schwerin, mana
ger of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, has represented to some of the
members of the San Francisco Chamber
that if the exclusion clause in tne bin
is retained, these new ships will be
lost to the Pacific Coast traffic To
this influence is attributed the action
on the part of some of the individual
members of the san trancisco i;nam
her."
J. H. Lothroo. of the transportation
committee and Mr. Moseasohn prepared
and transmitted to Washington yes
terday the following telegram, repeal
i-nr the attitude of the chamber in fa
vor of retaining the exclusion clause:
Efforts of Evarts and senwerm
fullv understood. Our experience with
the Pacific Mall has taught us that it
is maintained to prevent competition
and development of water carriage.
Coast interests generally are unalter
ably opposed to railroad-owned or con
trolled steamers operating through the
canal. Favor a provision of house bill,
which is even stronger than bill now
being considered by the Senate. .
"Views of the Coast Chambers of
Commerce and coast interests generally
are expressed in detail by Mr. Teal, be
fore the Senate committee on lnter
oceanlc canal and remain unchanged.
Although the Pacific Mail may not build
four ships if the clause is enacted,
doubtless independent and competing
water carriers would decline to build
several ships now contemplated if
railroad-owned or controlled clause is.
eliminated. Suggest that you confer
with Wheeler, representing San Fran
cisco Chamber now at Washington."
