TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1912. 8 CITY TURNS DOWN BILL FOR $191,934 Claim of Shaw-Batcher Com' pany for Bull Run Conduit Indicates Suit. $7200 FORFEIT DEMANDED Snm Deducted, by Board Because of Delay Is Requested Peninsula District Complains of Low Pressure at Times. The way was cleared tor another big law suit against the city yesterday, when the City Water Board, at a spe cial meeting-, turned down a bill pre sented by the Schaw-Batcher Company for J191.934.13 tor extras on Bull Run conduit No. 2, completed by the com pany last year. A communication was read by the board yesterday from J. R- Bowles, attorney-in-fact for the Schaw-Batcher Company, In which a demand was made for immediate payment of the amount asked for extras for the work, along with interest at 6 per cent from No vember 4, 1911, to the present. In ad dition to this a request was made that the city pay the company $i200. the amount deducted from the contract price because of failure of the company to complete Its contract within speci fied time. Payment of this amount Is demanded on the grounds that the de lay with the contract was not the fault sf the company. Company Denlea Blame The Water Board after reading the communication ordered it placed on file. This probably means that the company will bring suit to settle the contro versy. A report made to the Board by Water Engineer Clark showed that dur ing the month of August the water de partment had laid 6.452 miles of mains. This raises the total since January 1 to 46.798 miles. A report of the engi neer was received regarding the con dition of the big submerged emergency mains under the Willamette River. An investigation of the condition of the big pipe was made by a diver employed by the city and it was found that some of the bolts in -a Joint were weak and allowed a large leakage of water. The joint was repaired and the pipe is now in condition to supply the entire West Side if the emergency should arise. The pipe is maintained for emergency pur poses. PealBaula District Complains. A delegation representing the North Portland Commercial Club complained to the Water Board about low pressure in the Peninsula districts. The water engineer was Instructed to investigate the cost of Increasing the size of the supply main In the district and also the cost of laying another feed main. It was reported that the present main is built to supply 8.000.000 gallons of water a day. Some days the amount consumed has been as high as 12.000,000 gallons. Reports were received from the water engineer regarding various proposed water main extensions. Included in the list of extensions recommended are the following: Linn avenue, from East Seventeenth to East Nineteenth: East Sixty-third from Burnslde to Glisan: East Seventy-third, from Hassalo to Halsey; Woodstock avenue, from East Thirty-ninth to Eastmoreland: Salmon, from Stout to Chapman; Chapman, from Salmon to Yamhill; Maiden avenue, from East Thirteenth to Milwaukle ave nue: East Thirtieth, from Division to Clinton; East Forty-eighth, from Haw thorne avenue to Newport Addition; East Forty-sixth, from Sandy boulevard to Broadway.

BULLET LODGES IN SHOE RockpHe Guard Shoots Himself in Leg Seeking Cat. When A. E. ("Ed") Anderson, a guard at the Llnnton rockplle, Thurs day night shot himself through the right leg with a 30-20 caliber revolver, he looked about for the bullet, but could not find It. Later, when fellow guards at the quarry undressed his right leg to get at the wound, they found the bullet in his shoe. Anderson was out gunning for a cat which had annoyed the neighborhood for a week with Its midnight sere nade. He had fired once and had drawn back the hammer of the gun to shoot again. Holding the revolver at his side, he forgot that It was at half cock, and placed his finger on the trigger. The bullet struck his leg four Inches above the knee and came out about the same distance below. Anderson was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital In the Red Cross ambulance. Dr. Rockey attended him.

Aviator Next Sunday. sven Portland women have sent in their names to Silas G. Chrlstofferson, Portland aviator, and professed their nriiiins-nofi-i to ramble with their lives at one of the seven aerial flights the daring young birdman will make at the Oaks Amusement Park today, Sun day and Monday. So far two of these women nave oeen selected by Christofferson to partici pate in the aerial exhibition ana doiu of them will be taken aloft on Sunday afternoon, while probably one of the balance will be permitted to accom pany the aviator on Labor day. In all probability the young woman to be able to declare she made the first hydroplane flight In Portland and the first woman ever to fly at any altitude in the West will be Mrs. Edna Becker, a pretty young Portlander. Mrs. Becker will ny aiort ounaay ai ternoon and will be followed by Mrs. R, F. Cox, another Portland woman, who is determined to brave all aerial dangers. Mrs. Becker's night is Dut a prelim inary to her becoming an accomplished amateur avlatrix herself, for she has just ordered from the Curtis factory a completely equipped biplane. The numerous accidents tnat nave haDDened In the last few days to pas senger-bearing machines have led Chrls tofferson to decide that after his oaks experience he will never carry an other passenger. 'I don't need to say tnat it is dan gerous," he declared, "for everyone knows It is. I don't mind juggling with my own life, but I have no excuse for jeopardizing the lives of others. I shall take these two young women be cause I am convinced that their nerve will not fail them. And there is no possibility of them disappointing either the crowd or myself at the uaks. 'I have an inordinate craving to fly at a tremendous height, said Mrs. Becker, who has barely passed into her twenties," "and I intend to indulge myself. Mr. Chrlstofferson has prom ised to take me aloft, and before I own my own machine, which will be within a month. I want to ride and feel the air force back my cheeks, as I travel at 75 miles an hour with someone else. Mrs. Becker made one small flight previously with Christofferson with a land machine and from that time she has had the desire for an aerial flight. 'This little pigmy earth cannot hold me any longer," she continued. "If Mr. Christofferson does not force his ma chine a mile high, so that I can just hang on In grim earnest, I shall be dis appointed." When thlg was told Chrlstofferson he snapped his jaws. "Mrs. Becker shall have just as much flying as she wants, ' he declared. She must remove her hat, iill loose hairpins and anything that might come loose. Should the smallest strand of hair entangle In my propeller t might be sufficient to send us both crashing down." Christofferson will fly Saturday at 4 P. M., Sunday at 3, 5 and 7 P. M., Mon day at 3, 5 and 7 P. M. GOODE HEIRS LOSE SUIT Court Decrees Lots Must Be Deeded to Street Railway Company. Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday de creed that Helen M. Goode and Henry Fairclough Goode, heirs of H. W. Goode, ex-president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, who' died March 31, 1907, must deed to that cor poration several lots in block 1, Town of Fairview. The court held that Mr. Goode had purchased the property in his own name as trustee for the com pany and for the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, a subsidiary cor poration. Prior to Mr. Goode's death a portion of the block, which contains 10 lots, was conveyed to the company. Upon his death the property went to his chil dren, who were the defendants In the action decided yesterday. The company was forced to show Its right to the property in court before the heirs would turn It over.

TACOMA- ENTERTAINS "LEGION" State of Washington Enthusiastically In Favor of Big Fair. TACOMA. Wash.. Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) A genuine, wholesome and en thusiastic reception greeted the expo sition's "Flying Legion" on its arrival in Seattle this morning and the citi zens of Tacoma were not a whit be hind in the cordiality of their welcome this evening. San Francisco's representatives learned what real, live boosting meant when they entered the cities of the Northwest. They also learned that the State of Washington Is enthusi astically In favor of the 1915 universal exposition, and that the people are coming to it by thousands. In Seattle they have an organiza tion called the "Tilllkums" and its members can put more ginger in a meeting than any aggregation of col lege students plus a yell leader. Ta coma also has a select set of boosters who know how. What Portland can put forth is to be learned tomorrow, when the trained chorus of ad men and the reception committee Join In making the visit of the "Flying Le gion" a memorable one. When the "Princess Alice" reached Seattle this morning with ita, exposi tion exploiters the "Tillikums" were on hand attired in Immaculate white suits, unmindful of the drizzle. After warmly welcoming their guests they ushered them into waiting motor cars and escorted them to the Arctic Club, where an informal reception was held. Shortly after 10 o clock the Legion was divided into groups, and whisked away over the city in automobiles. The "Legion" were shown the park, the boulevard system, the university grounds, where the California build ing still graces the site or the AiasKa-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, and Queen Anne Hill, where high places are low ered with hydraulic pressure.

L BRINGS PROTEST Formal Effort Will Be Made to Have San Francisco Em bargo Annulled at Once. ACTION TAKEN IN SPOKANE Product Finished In California Costs More Clearlng-House Says At titude Is Inimical Legisla ture May Me Resentful. Lumber manufacturers of the North west have started an active campaign to have the markets of San Francisco opened to their finished products, which now are barred in all forms excepting flooring and stepping. Within the next few months a formal effort will be made to have the em bargo against the finished lumber of the Northwest lifted at San Francisco, at least so far as the work of erecting the buildings of the Panama-Pacific Exposition is concerned. The matter has been brought to the attention of San Francisco contractors and builders in an unofficial way and probably will be called to the notice o some members of the Flying Legion, who will be guests of Portland today. as several among them are engaged In business that calls for the use of lum ber. "Reciprocity Is what we want," said F. H. Ransom, of the Eastern & West ern Lumber Company, yesterday. "We use the canned products of tne Cali fornia orchards and gardens in our lumber camps. They should be willing to use our sized lumber in their build ings. California Products Used Here. "We use California oil, cement and other products peculiar to that state, yet conditions there will not permit us to send our finished lumber to ban Francisco It all has to go in the raw state. "As a matter of fact the people ol San Francisco are the losers by this situation, as it costs more to finish It in San Francisco than it does here. Where we charge 31 for surfacing four sides they charge 16. The San Fran cisco consumer has to pay this differ ence. "Through a thorough understanding between millmen, contractors and car penters it is virtually Impossible to use any kind of lumber in San Fran cisco unless it bears the purple stamp of their local mills. "We believe that this attitude is un fair tn ui and to the lumber manufac turers of the Northwest. In no other community are we confronted with this handicap." Lumber interests of the Nortnwest are united in their effort to have the ban against their products lirted. Among those who have been most act ive in the movement are F. C. Knapp, Dresident of the Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Peninsula Lumber Company; O. M. ClarK, oi tne wiarjt Wilson Lumber Company; W. B. Mc Kay, of North Pacific Lumber Company; representatives of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Company and others. Chambers of Commerce and lumber organizations throughout the North west have adopted emphatic resolutions protesting against this attitude of the San Francisco lumber users. Spokane Send Protest. "Resolved that our strongest and oat emnhatlc protest be conveyed to such and all of the several commercial organizations of San Francisco." is the tone of the action taken by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce. "A discrimination at this time against Washington and Oregon products," is part of the statement of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, "would probably be construed as a sort of declaration of commercial war, which it would be dif ficult for all of our commercial organi zations to counteract, especially when the time comes to ask from the Legis lature of the state an adequate appro priation for representation at the ex position." Individual owners and operators of lumbering plants on the Columbia River and Its tributaries passed resolutions protesting "against the continuance of the pernicious policy adopted and car ried on by tne citizens oi du Cisco against outside concerns. The Portland Clearing House Asso ciation recently passed resolutions say ing the attitude of San Francisco is "inimical to tne Dusiness unci cols Dnnianrt " and started correspondence to have the embargo raised to the end that the commerce between the two states "may be free and unrestricted." ' Resolutions of protest also were tlv bv the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association. HEARING NOT COMPLETED Suit Against Insurance Commission er Ferg-uson on at Salem. t-ATru ry Ane SO.

PIETZOLD ARRESTED FOR THREATS TO GAXTEXBEIX. Prisoner, Since Adverse Court Rul ing in Ta.x Delinquency Case, AVrites He Will Shoot Jurist. G. A. Pietzold, of 708 East Thirteenth street, who wrote letters to Governor West and Mrs. Gantenbein in which he threatened the life of Circuit Judge Gantenbein, was arrested yesterday aft ernoon by Deputy Sheriffs Bulger and Salisbury at the instance of the judge. The charge against Pietzold is insanity. He will be examined by a commission this morning. The decision to arrest him was arrived at after a conference between two of Pietzold's grown sons and Judge Gantenbein. Pietzold's anger against the judge was aroused by the latter's action in allowing, as provided by statute, a de fault In a suit brought by Edward V. Baldwin against Pietzold to foreclose on a tax certificate of delinquency. The order accompanying the default pro vided for the sale of the property to day. Pietzold made no appearance, al though duly served with a copy of the summons and complaint. The certifi cate of delinquency was originally pur chased by H. M, Courtright and by him transferred to Baldwin. "Pietzold came to see me and I ex plained to him as best I could that the law allowed me no option but to order the sale of his property, said Judge Gantenbein. "I advised him to hire an attorney, but he said he had no money. By examining the records I ascertained that he had not paid his taxes for four years. The threatening letters to my wife and Governor West followed. I do not know whether the man is insane or bluffing, although I am inclined to believe that he has lost his mental balance." In his letter to Governor West, which was forwarded to Judge Gantenbein from Salem, Pietzold declared that the Constitution of the United States gives him the right to bear arms, and that he would be forced, much against his will, to shoot Judge Gantenbein as the only means of saving his property. He im portuned the Governor to advise the Judge to rescind his action. The letter to Mrs. Gantenbein was in a similar strain, the writer expressing the great grief it would cause him to be forced to kill her husband and leave her chil dren fatherless. Pietzold also wrote to Rldgway & Johnson, attorneys for Baldwin, saying that he was being taxed out of proportion to large prop erty holders in the city, and that, there fore, the assessments against his prop erty were Illegal. Pietzold has also failed to pay assessments for municipal improvements. "LET 'ER BOIL' IS SLOGAN Admen to Visit Hot Lake While on Roundup Excursion.
