AUDITORIUM DELAY
BRINGS CRITICISM
Resolution of Censure for
Commission Tabled
Ad Club Meeting.
at
BROKEN FAITH IS CHARGED
II. VT. Raymond Protests Action and
Tenders Resignation of Commit
tee., Which Is Promptly Re
jected by President.
Tabling a resolution recommending
that Portland be enjoined from paying
any further money out of the general
fund to the Auditorium Commission
until It Is evident that the Commis
sion Intends to rroceed w tii the erec
tlon of a nubile auditorium aroused
a lively controversy and brought out
tome sharp censure against tne com
mission at tie meeting: of the Portland
Ad Club yesterday at the Multnomah
HoteL
The special committee appointed at
a previous n-cetlng to Investigate the
auditorium situation, having first con
sidered a reso utlon recommending the
resignation of the Auditorium Com
mission, fina'.iy returned to the lub
t resolution merely recommending that
no more funds be advanced:
1 "Resolved, That it is our belief that
the City of Portland should be en
joined from paying any further money
out of the general fund to the Audi to
rium Commission until such time as It
shall be evident that the present Com
mission Intends to proceed with the
erection of a public audtorlum, in this
city," was the wording of the resolu
tion as finally submitted and. read by
Phil S. Bates, one of the members of
the committee.
Chapman Moves to Table.,
C. C Chapman, of the Commercial
Club, objected Immediately to taking
hasty action upon the motion and put
a stop to the possibility or aeoaie Dy
a motion to table the resolution, which
was auickly carried.
R, w. Raymond, chairman of the
committee that had prepared the res
olution. Immediately announced that
the committee desired to resign at once
so that another committee might be
appointed to attend the meeting of the
Greater Portland Plans Association,
which more clearly represented the
policy of the club In "sanctioning the
dilatory practice of the Auditorium
Commission. Mr. Raymond declare
that the shutting off of debate upon
the resolution by a motion to table It
was "gag rule," and protested that the
Auditorium Commission had "broken
faith with the people of Portland."
A. G. Clark, president of the Ad
Club, refused to appoint another com
mittee, and Instructed the same com
mittee to wait npon the Portland Plans
Association a representative from
the Ad Clnb and to announce the ac
tion that the Ad Club had taken. That
message being delivered, he declared
that the members of the committee
were at liberty to express whatsoever
personal convictions they might wish
to express. Members of the commit
tee, every one of whom upheld Mr.
Raymond In the position he took, are:
R. W. Raymond, Phil 8. Batesj Thomas
Hawkes, E. S. McDougall and W. A.
Markert. '
Raymond Voleea Protest.
"Personally I protest against the gag
rule of this motion to lay upon the
table a question which is of vital im
portance to the good faith of Port
land." declared Mr. Raymond, in ten
dering the resignation of his com
mittee.
"Next year we will entertain the
World's Citizenship Conference, having
secured Its coming here under the
promise of an adequate and attractive
meeting-place. A year has passed since
the present Auditorium Commission
was appointed and absolutely nothing
tangible has been accomplished.
"I yield the palm to no one in my
personal admiration for the chairman
of the Commission, but this Is not a
question of personalities, but of the
erection of an auditorium, and the
chairman of the Commission has stat
ed that he will not consent to the
expenditure of another penny until it
is determined whether they shall have
sufficient funds to complete the au
ditorium. Tet he sends to New York to
bring across the continent a high
priced architect to determine for 'us a
question which we are fully competent
to settle for ourselves.
Waste of Money Charged.
"Tve favored the motion we intro
duced because I am opposed to fritter
ing away funds already voted, by a
commission which has not shown good
faith In its intentions by erecting an
auditorium under "conditions Imposed
upon it at the outset by the people.
"I protest against further delay In
waiting for Mr. Frtedlander, the archi.
tect, who Is detained by the necessity
of appearing before the American In
stitute of Architects In Washington in
Iecember to defend his rights to the
award which he secured from the City
of Portland about a year ago In com
petition for designs and plans for the
Portland .Municipal Auditorium, and
also to protect the City of Portland
against possible or probable damage
suits from the various def'-.ted archi
tects In the competition, who claim
that they were defrauded In the com
petition held In this city.
"Members of the committee applont
ed by you resign in the best of humor,
simply that you may have the oppor
tunity of appointing a committee to
represent you tonight at the meeting
of the Greater Portland Plans Asso
ciation, which committee shall reflect
the sentiment favoring the dilatory
methods of the Auditorium Commission
which the club has expressed In its
motion to lay this resolution on the
table."

George K. Boos, Commissioner for
Paeifle Northwest.
That Oregon will make a gen
erous appropriation for Its ex
hibit at the Panama-Pacific Ex
position, to be held In San Fran
cisco In 1915. is the belief of
George E. Boos, exposition com
missioner for the four Pacific
Northwest States of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Mr. Boos was In the city yester
day and conferred with Julius I
Meier, chairman of the Oregon
commission.
He says that Oregon has one of
the best sites on the exposition
grounds assigned to state build
' ing purposes. It is his opinion
that Oregon will reap great bene
fits from the exposition.
Mr. Boos was a commissioner of
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo

Immediately for Tacoma, where
he will attend a meeting of the
Washington State commercial organizations.
AID FOR CHINA IS URGED
Chamber of Commerce Working for
Recognition of Xew Republic.
In a petition sent out Tuesday by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce to Na
tional organizations and to Coast
branches, to business societies and indi
vidual members, immediate recognition
of the Chinese republic In every way
is urged as a vita! necessity.
It Is urged for business and commer
cial reasons, and from the viewpoint of
International policy and morals. The
petition Is being sent to the National
Association of Chambers of Commerce,
to the Pacific Coast Association, to busi
ness Arms and men throughout the
United States; also to the commercial
bodies throughout China and to the
agents of local concerns in the large
ports and cities there. In addition, the
delegates to Congress from this state
have been asked to take a vigorous
stand on this Important topic
EJfitt-Hour Law May Not Apply.
That members of the police and fire
departments are not affected by the
state eight-hour law, passed .at the
recent general election. Is the opinion
gether the members after they leave
college.
As the" association grows, the inten
tlon Is to entertain the faculty and the
teams as they have occasion to visit
the city and to do all they oan to "cut
out" politics from the government of
college and inter-varsity affairs, to
promote good feeling with all other
such bodies and to work both for the
good of the college and the state along
broad lines.
It was at' the first meeting last
Saturday night that the Idea was
taken fully into consideration, when
25 former students and graduates came
together, electing J. G. Schroeder as
temporary chairman, and naming com
mittees to arrange the details for the
meeting next Saturday.
OFFICERS MUST PAY FARE
Star Without Uniform No longer
Honored by Car Company.
Expenses of the police department
are likely to be increased by a figure
close to $400 a month, by an inadvert
ent operation of the Malarkey public
utilities bill. Taking advantage of the
terms of the new law, the Portland
Railway, Light & Power .Company has
served notice that it no longer will
honor badges of policemen not in full
uniform and that all such persons must
pay full fare.
This ruling not only affects officers
going from and returning to their
homes, forcing them either to wear
their uniforms on such trips, and con
sequently to be on duty that much
longer, or pay their fares, but does
away entirely with the free transpor
tation of detectives and plain clothes
officers. There are close to SO men
In the department working constantly
out of uniform, and many of them, by
the nature of their duties, have re
course to the use of streetcars 30 to (0
times in the course of a day. This bill
they naturally argue, the city must
pay, or else they will walk, consuming
much more time.
As a temporary measure. Chief
SI over has obtained a small quantity of
tickets, of which most have been turned
over to Captain Baty, with instructions
to be sparing with them. The chief of
the detectives is spending most of his
time keeping books on the disposition
of the tickets. There seems to be no
way out of the difficulty but for the
city to assume the bill.
VIADUCT TANGLE HAMPERS
Differences Between Railway Com
pany and City Bring Protest.
Residents and property owners in
the South East Side will demand that
the Southern Pacific Company be per
mitted to proceed with the erection of
the proposed viaduct over the tracks
on Ho gate street, at East Twenty-
first street, according to the plans
prepared by the company. This via
duct will be composed of one span of
the old O.-W. R. A N. bridge, 300 feet
long, and the remainder to be built
on trestle. Cost of the viaduct, ac
cording to the plans of the company,
will be J38.000.
According to the plans of the city,
the viaduct will cost 180,000, but the
railroad company refuses to spend that
much money, and the matter is now
being held up. Holgate street Is paved
on both sides of this viaduct but the
street is closed to the public under
present conditions.
The city has ordered the contractor
to proceed with the paving to form a
grade crossing. Property owners op
pose a grade crossing and want the
city to permit the railway company to
erect a viaduct according to Its plans
at once. Holgate street extends Into
the Woodstock and Ivanhoe districts,
which want access to Milwaukle street
SEWER PLAN TOLD
City Engineer Offers Jnexpen
sive Suggestion.
EXPENSE DECLARED SMALL
Proposal Is to Carry Trunks, Empty
. Ing Into Willamette, to Harbor
Line and Defer Building of
Huge Intersection.
After a comprehensive study of the
sewer conditions of Portland and other
cities. City Engineer Hurlburt has
worked out a plan of improvement
which he says will meet all the needs
of the city for many years to come and
will not Involve any great amount of
expense. The plan will be outlined In
Engineer Hurlburt's annual report to
the Mayor and City Council.
He will recommend the extension or
all trunk sewers emptying into the
Willamette River to the harbor line
and the Installation of intercepting
sewers on the West Side between Col
lege and Glisan streets. After his In
vestigation he will not recommend the
construction of the huge Intercepting
sewer planned from Marquam Gulch In
South Portland to the north city
limits.
"I have found after extensive re
search and investigation," said Mr.
Hurlburt yesterday, "that there Is no
aotual need for a great Intercepting
sewer such as has been proposed. By
making some extensions of the present
trunk sewers draining Into the river,
we can care for the sewerage from a
city of 600,000 persona When the city
grows to that size the situation can be
met by Intercepting sewers which will
take away a portion of the sewerage.
Portland7 Position Excellent.
"Authoritlnes are at variance on the
question of how much sewerage can be
emptied Into the Willamette in Port
land without contaminating the water
and endangering health. The opinion
of experts is that the river at low
water will take the sewerage from a
population of 500.000 before the danger
mark Is passed. Some say the popula
tlon can be as high as 800.000. No one
places the number below the half mil
lion mark.
"No city I know of is better situated
for the economical disposal or sewer
age than Is Portland. Running through
the center of the city Is a large river,
the water of which does not have to
be used for domestic purposes, owing
to the mountain streams which are
found almost everywhere. When the
water reaches Portland it Is pure be
cause of the Oregon City Falls and
the long distance between Oregon City
and the next point where sewerage Is
emptied Into the river. This gives
Portland a large flow of water whlcn
Is practically pure and fresh to empty
the sewerage of the city into.
Cnrrent Utilisation Suggested.
Under the present system the mains
drain directly Into the river from the
water line, which is the only objection
able feature of the system. I would
recommend that the trunk sewers be
extended from the river's edge to the
harbor line, thus discharging the sewer
age Into the current of the stream In
stead of along the edges. This plan
would answer all purposes in the
districts where the large trunk sewers
empty Into the river at present In
the old nart of the city, between joi-
lege street and Glisan street, the
sewers are of the old type and conse
quently small. In this district I would
recommend an Intercepting sewer
which would gather the flow from
the small sewers and discharge it
through one big trunk sewer into the
river at the harbor line.
'The extension of the trunk sewers
to the harbor line would entail con
siderable expense. It is because of the
expense that the extensions were not
made when the trunk sewers were
built. Whn the city reaches a popu
lation which would place the river in
danger of contamination, the situation
could be met by running an intercept
ing sewer from one part of the city
and extending It Into the river in North
Portland, thus cutting down tne
amount of-sewerage draining Into the
river in the main part of the city.
Septic Tank System Costly.
'The suggestion has been made
that the city adopt the septic tank
system of disposing of the sewerage.
This would not do because of the great
expense necessarj'. Portland has what
Is known as the combination system
f sewers. That Is a system whereby
the sewerage and the storm drainage
are carried in the same pipes. This
would necessitate the consumption ot
all the city's rain water as well as th
sewerage by the septic system, which
would entail enormous expense. xo
eliminate the rain water feature it
would be necessary to reconstruct the
sewer system, which operation would
also Involve enormous expense.
COURT TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Citizen Objects to Police Regulation
or After-Theater Trafrlc.
Police regulation of the motor car
and taxlcab traffio at the big theaters
after the performance is to be made
the basis of a hot fight in Municipal
Court when F. W. Graves, of the
Graves Music Company, comes up' for
trial Saturday on a charge of refusing
to obey the orders of a traffio officer.
While Mr. Graves contends that the
regulation he flouted Is framed in the
interests of the taxicab companies, the
police assert that the present system
is the best ever devised for handling
the crush of vehicles at the theaters.
and cite a number of prominent men
who first protested and- then, alter
more experience with the system, gave
It the highest praise.
Patrolman Frey, who has charge of
the traffio at the Heilig Theater, re.
serves -all the east side of the block
for private vehicles, and forces the
taxlcabs to line up two-abreast on
the west side, the two companies
keeping in separate files. The taxi
cabs are also required to keep back
of the theater front so that the pri
vate vehicles can dart across the
street when their passengers leave the
theaters, while the taxicabs move for
ward as the leading ones are engaged
and driven off.
Mr. Graves objected to the system
and backed his car into the line of
taxicabs, angling across the street
Frey says he did so on several occa
sions and was warned until he defied
arrest Mr. Graves went to tne police
station yesterday and had a heated
interview with Captain Riley, who
supported the action of his officer.
Portland Company Sued for $1999.
'He forged our name," words alleged
to have been contained in a letter
written last . April by the W. T. Scud
der Syrup Company, of Portland, to
the Adirondack Maple Company, of
Lowville, N. Y., is the basis for a
damage suit against the Portland con
cern Instituted In Circuit Court by P.
L. Willetts. He demands 11999. Wll
letts was first In the employ of the
local concern as traveling salesman
and later with the Lowville, N; Y.
company.

cials as to rail line methods in vogue
in that countnry.
Major Morrow says that they found
railroad construction had been at a
standstill for two years in Alaska, only
repair work having been undertaken.
He thinks that the agricultural and
mineral wealth of the frozen North is
not appreciated by residents of the
United States. The Commission left
Seattle September 10 aboard the rev
enue cutter McColloch, and five days
later Seward was reached. From these
the party proceeded along the line of
the Alaskan Northern to its terminus
and, by means of a launch, reached
Knik, making a trip of 60 miles Inland
from there on horseback to reaoh the
Matanuska coal deposits.
On boarding the MoColloch again at
Knlk they headed for Ship Creek, In.
noskln Bay and Iliamna Bay. They
are in Cook's Inlet and have been
talked of as rail line terminals. Con
troller Bay and Katalla were next in
the itinerary, and Valdes was the fol
lowing stop, where the party spent
three days, leaving overland, Bsptem.
ber 30. for Fairbanks.
Wagons were used for the journey
and the Commission wended its way to
Chltina, on the Copper River Railroad,
reaching there October 24. After vis
