INTERSTATE BRIDGE
Engineer Modjeski to Meet In
terested Citizens at Com
mercial Club Today.
DETAILED ESTIMATE MADE
Proposed Span Across Columbia to
Be Outlined With Maps Chicago
Man Inspects Work on
Broadway Structure.
How the proposed interstate bridge
across the Columbia, connecting Van
couver. Wash., with Portland, is to be
built, where It is to be located, what
are to be Its dimensions and how much
It is to cost will be revealed to a com
mittee of interested citizens when they
assemble at the Commercial Club at 2
o'clock this afternoon to hear the re
port of Ralph Modjeski. the expert
bridge engineer of Chicago, who has
given his professional attention to this
subject, for the last six montns.
Modjeski arrived in Portland yester
day and In addition to reporting on the
Columbia River bridge while here, will
attend to such details as examining the
progress on the Broadway bridge and
begin his Investigations into the cost
of the new Harrlman bridge, in both of
which cases he has been engaged by
the city.'
Steel Work Satisfactory.
He had a look at the Broadway struc
ture yesterday afternoon and. after
casting his professional glance over it
a few minutes or half an hour, came to
the conclusion that the Pennsylvania
Steel Company Is making satisfactory
progress In erecting the superstructure.
Roughly estimated, about 70 per cent of
the steel work now is in place. Work
men will begin before the end of the
present montlu to build the leaves of
the bascule span through which the
river traffic will operate.
"I am satisfied," said Modjeski last
night, "that the bridge will be com
pleted well within the contract time.
February 3. The. contractors certainly
are doing all they can to have the work
finished on time. With no unforeseen
delays, the bridge will be complete and
ready for operation on the date set."
Bascule Span Difficult.
As an engineer. Modjeski disagrees,
however, with the opinion of John B.
Coffey and R. O. Rector, members of
the Mayor's Executive Board, and City
Engineer Hurlburt that the bridge will
be ready for operation soon after the
first of the year. Coffey. Rector and
Hurlburt made an official Inspection of
the work and reported that itould be
completed SO days ahead of time.
While the work on the stationary
spans has proceeded with seemingly
unusual speed, the most difficult por
tion of the contract is the erection of
the bascule span, which involves some
careful calculation. This span will con
sist of two leaves coming together,
when closed, in the middle. When they
open to permit a boat to pass through
these leaves will rise up vertically, the
ends that rest against the solid por
tion of the structure acting as pivots.
While It is not possible to operate this
type of bridge any more rapidly than
those having lift spans, such as the
Hawthorne and Harrlman bridges, the
principal advantage lies In economy of
construction.
Haniman Span Not Estimated.
Modjeski has not yet begun to calcu
late the cost of the upper deck of the
new Harrlman bridge, which duty was
assigned him by the City Council a
few weeks ago. In advance of an offi
cial investigation of the work, he is
not reads- to venture a guess as to what
the upper deck the cause of so much
bitter strife between public officials
and corporations really- cost.
Maps, drawings, statistics and speci
fications for the proposed Columbia
River bridge have been prepared by the
engineer and will be presented to the
committee meeting at the Commercial
Club this afternoon. The total length
of the structure,- including trestle ap
proaches and necessary fills, will be
approximately three miles. The bridge
proper will be about 3000 feet long.
It would accommodate two electric rail
way tracks and the heaviest kind of
surface traffic.
INJURED WIDOW PAID $250
Council Provides for Victim of In
sane Man.
Out of compassion for a woman, who
has met with the loss of her husband,
sustained a broken leg by an accident
In Italy and who was brutally knocked
own and suffered the fracture of the
same leg and five ribs by a lunatic in
this city, all within a year, members
of the ways and means committee of
the City Council yesterday afternoon
recommended that she be given 250
out of the Council special fund.
Mrs. S. R. Johnston, widow of the
late Professor Johnston, of the Port
land Academy, is the woman whose
remarkable misfortunes brought about
the unusual act of the committee.
Counctlihen Wallace, Burgard. Menefee
and Maguire, after hearing the story
of Mrs. L. W. Sitton relative to the
case, promptly made their recommen
dation. Mrs. Johnston went to Europe with
her husband, who died while in Flor
ence. She returned here for a time,
but later went to France to perfect a
course in French with the intention
ef making her livelihood by teaching
that language here. She went to Flor
ence to visit her husband's grave and
while in that city broke Her leg by a
fall.
Some months ago, while walking
home, she was knocked down and ter
ribly beaten and kicked by an insane
man. Customs officers had reported
to the police as to his actions prior to
this, but he was not locked up. Be
cause of this the members of the com
mittee felt that the city had some
moral responsibility in the case.
Mrs. Johnston has been in the hospi
tal for months and it was but a few
days ago that the cast was removed
from the broken limb.

PAGET IS PLEASEET
Prohibition Candidate for Sen
ator Returns.
OPTIMISM IS DOMINANT
Auto Tour of State. Says Portland
Man, Reveals Many Things to
Fire Enthusiasm of Every
Loyal Oregonian.
B. Lee Paget. Prohibition candidate
for United States Senator, returned to
Portland yesterday morning, having
completed the first section of his auto
mobile campaign of the state.
"My route of travel has so far taken
me into 11 counties throughout the
Willamette Valley in a consecutive
chain from Washington to Klamath and
has afforded an Infinite variety of
scenic and other attractions," said Mr.
Paget yesterday.
"The campaign has been strenuous
but highly enjoyable throughout. I
have been accompanied by O. A. Still
man, Congressional candidate for the
First district and we have everywhere
been treated with great courtesy and
the utmost kindness. On one day in
Linn County we traveled 90 miles by
automobile and addressed good audi
ences in seven different towns.
"So far the campaign has extended
over 2500 miles, has taken me to 105
towns and afforded the opportunity to
speak at 112 meetings attended by 6000
voters and cultivate the acquaintance
of many hundreds of others.
"Among the other interesting points
visited was the beautiful residence and
nrnhm-ri of Welln Lounsberry. the ec-
. -i - hu -nhy h ii H 4h historic
historic
banking house of Mr. Beekman at the
town of Jacksonville. Mr. Beekman
contemplates retiring from business
and the institution, with its original
fixtures, installed in 185Z, is so unique
In its antique furnishings and of such
historic interest that I shall regard it
as more than unfortunate If some steps
are not taken to preserve It in its pres
ent shape. I commend this suggestion
to our State Historical Society with the
...tumnt that nf itself and lust as it
Is, it presents a museum of the most
absorbing interest.
"Lane County is enthusiastic over its
extended railroad constructions, now
under way. Klamath Falls is Jubilant
over Its prospect of soon being In the
direct line of travel between Portland
and San Francisco. Jackson County
people are exhibiting unusual industry
and optimism and the Rogue River
Valley, with its wonderful orchards, is
a revelation to anyone who has not
seen It for a few years. Many other
counties were engaged in preparing ex
hibits for the State Fair, and the won
derful agricultural products this year
were causing ea'ih of them to feel san
guine that they would secure first hon
ors In the county contests.
"From a Prohibition party standpoint.
Marlon, Lane and Jackson counties are
best organized, and each has a strong
legislative ticket that ought to win.
a- m Awn fa mnftl a-n. I am receiv
ing great encouragement and many
promises or support irom meiuueio
all parties. -
"I expect in a day or two to visit
Columbia and Clatsop counties and then
to leave on an extended automobile
tour of Eastern Oregon.

COUNTY SUES LOMBARD
i
POORFARM PURCHASE N PRICE
SOUGHT AT LAW.
Note for $35,000 Due May, 1912,
Unpaid, but Purchaser Wants
$47,000 rent for Year's Use.
Multnomah County. through the
County Court, has started suit in the
Circuit Court to collect from B. M.
Lombard and Caroline S. Lombard, his
wife, the balance due on tne purcnase
price of the old county poor farm on the
Canyon road. The property was pur
chased by Lombard May 5, 1910. and
the proceedings now instituted by the
county are for the purpose of forcing
payment on three notes which he gave
as Dart payment.
One of these notes is for J35.000 and
is payable May 6. 1912; a second is for
a similar amount and is due May 5,
1913, while the third is for J49.630 an-J
is due May 5, 1914. All bear Interest
at S per cent. Lombard was given a
clear deed to the farm and gave a
mortgage on the property as security
for the notes.
The contract between Lombard and
the county provided that in case of
non-payment at the stipulated time of
an interest or principal arouum.
the whole sum should become
due and payable immediately. The
complaint sets up that the de
fendant has paid the interest only
to November 5, 1911. Jind that he has
failed to pay the note lor J36.000 which
fell due May S last. Hence payment
of the entire amount is demanded.
A. E. Clark Is attorney for the county
in the suit and he asks that he be al
lowed 17500 as attorney fees, the notes
havinsr contained a clause that reason
able attorney fees would be allowed in
case suit to collect should become nec
essary.
After the sale to Lombard tne county
continued to occupy A portion of tlraj
rrooertv for nearly a year, until tne
new farm buildings near Troutdale
were ready for occupancy. In Decem
ber, 1910, Lombard started an ejectment
suit against the county and in the same
complaint demanded damages against
the county in the aggregate ot 4i,"u
because of the county's continued use
of the property. The sale agreement
bet-veen Lombard and the county pro
vided that the county should pay a rea
sonable amount as rent, but the views
of the County Commissioners and Lom
bard differed radically as to what con
stituted a. reasonable amount. This
suit has never come to trial and can
not be joined with the latest action, as
one is a suit at law, while the other,
that rtled by the county yesterday, is a
suit In equity. '
"The county allowed Mr. ixmDara a
reasonable rental, deducting from the
emount due from hirn ajinterest," said
Attorney Clark. "There Is no merit
to tis contention that he Is entitled to
such a sum as he claims or anything
like it."
CHILDREN ENJOY OUTING
.Many Nationalities at Free Picnic of
Portland Commons.
Everybody returned ' from the free
picnic under the auspices of the Port
land Commons at Magoon Park yes
terday tull of pleasant memories of a
Joyful day. Children were sorry they
had to leave and mothers, though per
haps not sorry to return home, bad
spent a happy day helping to amuse
the juveniles. s .
When the Pomona left the Taylor
street dock' yesterday at 8 o'clock it
had on board children of many nation
alities and ages. Scotch kiddies were
there. Irish lasses, German and Danish
kinder, to say nothing of Chinese and
colored picaninnies. In all about 150
took part, not forgetting the famous
Oak Grove Juvenile Band, which won
applause in the Elks' parade.
Arrived at Magoon Park, the first
consideration was care for the inner
man ,or rather inner boy and girl. Then
there were raecs of all kinds, so ar
ranged that everybody who didn't win
a prize in the first race had" an excel
lent chance of doing so In the second.
If they failed in that, why, there were
plenty" more opportunities.
Winners had some lovely things to
choose from. Watches, the great de
light of every child who does not pos
sess one. roller skates, which every
body knows how to use and longs to
possess, boxes of candy which they
could not eat at the time, because
there were too many other good things,
umbrellas, for the Fall Is now on, in
short, all sorts and sizes of awards,
premiums and prizes. -
And the "eats." Sandwiches, of
course, but also baked beans. Who but
the management- of the Portland Com
mons, which had charge of arrange
ments, would ever have thought oi pro
viding such a delicacy as baked beans?
After the baked beans. Ice cream and
cake held swav and then came water
melons, bananas and all varieties of
fruit, while each ana all natt as mucn
milk as they could drink.
In short, a great and glorious day,
for the weather god was propitious and
everybody helped to make a success of
this mothers' and children's picnic The
expenses of the picnic were paid from
the Albertina Jterr tuna.
,MRS. J. S. SEED HITS BACK
Repentance of Husband Said to Be
Sham by Divorce Applicant.
Replying to the answer of her hus
band, John S. Seed, a wealthy con
tractor, to her complaint in a divorce
suit, Mrs. iielen M. Seed declares that
after she started her first divorce ac
tion he came to her with tears in his
eyes and on his knees begged and re
Lceived
ceived her forgiveness. In this com
plaint she charged him with improper
relations with other women, the same
charge that is made In the present
suit.
As an evidence of good faith, Mrs.
Seed says, her husband deeded to her
a half interest in all his real property,
agreed to pay her J100 a month regu
larly and consented to her cashing a
check made out in his favor for
(1796.82. She now charges that his re
pentance was sham and under the cir
cumstances demands that she be given
in addition to the decree her legal
share of what property he has left.
The woman denies that she has ever
been other than a true and dutiful
wife and further denies that she insti
gated the suit for damages in the sum
of $5000 filed against Seed by Mrs.
Agnes F. Davis, their housekeeper, a
negress. Mrs. Davis alleges that Seed
called her vile names.
CLYDE ORDINANCE OPPOSED
City Attorney Says Anti-Gag Measure
Would Work Mischief.
Councilman Clyde's "anti-Cannon
gag" ordinance, so-called by its au
thor, would not be a good thing ana in
fact would work mischief In the
conduct of Council proceedings, ac
cording to an opinion by City Attor
ney Grant, made public yesterday.
Mr. Clyde, smarting under the "gag'
rules, as he himself admits they are,
drafted an ordinance requiring the
various committees to report back to
the main body every 30 days all ordl
nances pending before them. His, idea
was that this, if adopted, would make
it impossible for opponents or meas
ures to hold them up indefinitely by
failure to report.
' Mr. Clyde's ordinances, many of which
have been revolutionary, have ats times
been held back in committee. It was
to reach a means of remedying tnis
situation that he introduced his "anti-
gag" ordinance, which the Council
sent to Mr. Grant lor a legal opinion.
Mr. Grant says, if strictly enforced,
the ordinance would be detrimental to
certain measures, such as franchise
ordinances and street vacations, for
example, the charter requiring more
than 30 days for these to go through
advertising, etc.
AD CLUB HEARS ADDRESSES
Preparations Being Made for 400 at
Roosevelt Luncheon.
Patronage of home industries was the
theme of an address of A. A. Bailey
before the Ad Club at its luncheon at
tha Multnomah Hotel yesterday, on
"Some Reasons Why Portland Money
Should Stay in Portland."
K. K. Kubli. who had been given the
selection of his own subject, said that
he had thought of "Governor west s
campaign in the city, of equal suffrage,
of Dan Kellaher and his common-user
clause" and many other subjects upon
which- he might speak. He feared,
however, that the expression of his
"true opinion on some of these might
not be popularly received, ana in con
seauence he chose "The Value of Yes
terday" for theme and delivered a
striking oration upon that subject.
F. L. Moreland wa3 chairman of . the
day. . Preparations for the entertain
ment of the members of the Rotary
Club, Progressive Business Men's Club
and Realty Board at the Roosevelt
luncheon next Wednesday are com
pleted and it is expected that the at
tendance will be more than 400. This
luncheon Is to be held In the convention
hall of the Multnomah Hotel.
BONDS MAY BE REGISTERED
i
City Officials Considering - Sugges
tion of Dealer.
A suggestion by Morris Bros., bond
biiyers. that the city register its bonds,
thereby insuring a better premium, re
ceived the attention of the ways and
means committee ot the City Council
yesterday afternoon. It was finally re
ferred to City Treasurer Adams and
City Attorney Grant.
Registration of bonds would be a
great safeguard to the purchaser, as
no one but the person whose name was
attached to each bond would be able to
sell them. The sole question to be
considered by the city officials is as
to whether registered bonds would
bring increased returns sufficient to
justify the added expense.

BEAUTY IS FEARED
Veniremen in Trial of Hazel Er-
, win Warned by State.
GIRL GROWS DESPONDENT
Iilghthearterlness Fades From Youth
ful Prisoner as Picking of Jury
Progresses Confession May
Be Altered Somewhat.
The defense has exercised peremp
tory challenges on seven venijmen in
securing a Jury to. try the charge of
first ,degree murder against Hazel Er
win In Judge Kavanaugh's court.
The prosecution has so far used no
peremptorles, Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald expressing himself as sat
isfied with the Jury every time it came
"his turn to challenge. The Jury may
he complete by noon today.
The most important evidence which
will be used against the girl, who is
accused of assisting Wlllard Tanner
in the murder of Ray W. Wallace In
an Alder-street rooming house, to
which Wallace was lured by Miss
Erwin, is the confession which she
made to Deputy District Attorney Fitz
gerald following her arrest.
Despondency Seises Prisoner.
In this she accepted full responsibil
ity for the deed, representing that-Tanner
had been merely a pawn In her
hands, but her attorneys have stated
that whe,n she takes the stand in her
own behalf to make a clean breast of
the whole transaction she will recede
from that portion of her first story in
which .she sought to absolve Tanner
from blame. '
The defendant's sunshiny disposition
was not so apparent yesterday. When
ever Mr. Fitzgerald was impressing
upon the veniremen that a killing in
the act of robbery is always first de
gree murder and that anyone who par
ticipates in the robbery with the actual
slayer Is equally guilty of the murder,
she became noticeably despondent. Her
fits of depression were, however, only
temporary.
Jurymen Are Warmed of Beauty.
Neither did she seem to approve of
the prosecutor's Insistence in telling
the venremen that they must not be
impressed by her youth, sex or
comeliness.
Should Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald insist upon the Jury taking
as truth her first .statement. In which
Tanner was shielded and she incrim
inated herself, in preference to believ
ing the story shielding herself which
her attorneys say she is now willing
to tell, the prosecution of Tanner,
against, whom she is to be a witness,
may be embarassed. Mr. Fitzgerald
makes no secret that if neither is to
be convicted of anything less than first
degree he would prefer that it should
be the girt.
