The proposed extension' will require 17 lots, which are valued At $3000 each. -The. committee appointed to investi gate the extension. A. L. Keenan, Rev. Father Gregory and "W. Raabe. favored opening Brooklyn street as the best and least expensive as the cost of ex tending Powell street will be about 175.000. It was urged that it would be better to open Brooklyn street, between Mllwaukie street and the river, than to extend Powell street four blocks, be cause the latter would destroy valuable property. Brooklyn is a narrow street, which will have to be made 60 feet wide, and most of the property owners favor widening It. The whole matter will be referred to the City Engineer to decide what Is best to do. Property owners on Powell street, between Mllwaukie and East Nine teenth streets, have agreed to make that street 60 feet wide, provided an outlet to the Willamette River can be secured. There Is great Interest In Brooklyn "pver the proposed extension of Powell street to the river. PUYFUL ROMP IS FATAL JJAD IXSTAXTLY KILLED BY RCXXIXG IXTO ACTO. Paul Benninghoven Wrecks Machine Against Streetcar Trying to Save Sherman Sorsby. Circling into the street to escape the pursuit of other boys with whom he was "Dlavinsr Injun" at East Fiftieth street and Hawthorne avenue about 5 o'clock last night, Sherman Stanley Sorsby, 6 years old, son of w. p. borsDy, J37 East Fifty-first street, ran Into the rear mud guard of an automobile driven bv Paul Benninghoven. a liquor sales man, living at the Portland Hotel, and was Instantly killed when the rapidly moving machine threw him 20 reet to the pavement. Benninghoven wrecked his machine against a Mount Scott car in trying to avoid the boy, but could not get out of the way m time. Decked In Indian feathers, the little fellow had been hiding behind a post from his companions, and when he saw them coming he ran down Flttiem street, upon the east car tracks. ' Ben ninghoven, who had been driving nis car slowly after the Mount Scott train. as It rounded the curve at East Fif tieth and Hawthorne, had turned out to the left side of the car and was at tempting to pass it. When he saw the youngster coming he threw his car quickly to the -right and so nearly missed the little chap that only the tip of his rear mud guard struck him. The front of his machine crashed into tne Mount Scott train Just between its two cars and was badly damaged. The force of the blow threw the boy through the air for about 20 feet, breaking both collar bones and his right leg and Inflicting internal in juries. He was dead when picked up, but Benninghoven took him to the home of his father, 337 East Fifty-first, where Dr. William ' Reese was sum moned and pronounced the lad dead. The body was removed to Lerch's un dertaking establishment. In the automobile with Benning hoven were Gustav Froshman, 483 Twenty-first street North, and George M. Bent, 5812 Forty-fifth avenue South east. The three members of the party went to the police station, where they reported the accident to Captain Riley and promised to appear at the Inquest. H. B. Spalding, of 349 East Fifty-first street, an eye-witness of the accident, said: "The boy ran into the automobile, rather than the machine running into him. He evidently did not see the automobile at all when he started across the street. The driver tried his best to avoid the collision and wrecked his car in . so doing." - GeVurtz' Great Furniture, Carpet and Rug Half-Price Sale Will Continue at 5th and Alder Till Saturday Every piece of furniture, every carpet, every rug, every range that was moved to Fifth and Alder; from our old location will be sold Terms Cash!

ACCUSED WAIVE HEARING Grand Jury Begins Hearing Testi mony Against Men. The grand jury yesterday started hearing testimony against 17 men charged with immoral practices. Dep uty District Attorney Collier said he anticipates the return of 26 Indict ments today. All the defendants were before Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday afternoon for preliminary hearing. All waived hearing and orders were made holding them for grand Jury action. No new arrests were made yesterday. The authorities are tracing by telegraph and telephone several who have left town. His arrest has cost Jancl RIgo, vio linist, his position at the Louvre and in addition Theodore Kruse, proprietor of the grill, has filed suit against him demanding 860.90. A lot of Rigo's personal belongings were attached by the Sheriff's office. Kruse says that between July 12 and November 19 he advanced Rigo sums aggregating $1639.45 and that IS60.90 is still due him from the musician. Rigo has been released on his own recognizance. It has developed that in at least two ' cases, and probably three, the Juvenile Court authorities through mistake took to the Courthouse men who are now declared to be entirely innocent. The names of these men were published In afternoon papers. Dr. H. A. Start was again arrested yesterday on a new charge when the rumor reached the Juvenile Court offi cers that he was contemplating leaving the city. Judge Gatens at first ordered that he be required to put up 33000 additional bond, but later relented and let the former bond of 35000 cover both alleged offenses. Start declared he had no Intention of leaving. STREET EXTENSION URGED Brooklyn Residents Will Seek City r Engineer's Advice. City Engineer Thomas M. Hurlburt will be asked to examine and report on the feasibility of extending Powell street from Milwaukle to the intersec tion of East Seventh street and Wood ward avenue. At a special meeting of the Brooklyn Improvement Club Tues day night In Gregory Hall. East Elev enth and Center streets, K. C. Kauch presiding, it was voted to ask the opinion of the City Engineer before CITY EMPLOYES DEFAULT Effort Will Be Made to Provide Fand for Aid of Need y. When 30 city employes appeared be fore the ways and means committee of the Council yesterday to explain why they had allowed their wages to be garnlsheed a move - was started by members of the committee to establish a special city fund from which city employes can secure loans at reason able rates of interest The move may result In a charter amendment with that provision being submitted to the people at the regular city election. ' The 30 delinquent employes were brought "on the carpet" by order of the committee at Its last meeting. The plan at that time was to discharge all persons who could not give good rea sons for falling to pay their bills. The committee heard the story of one po liceman and then called a halt on the proceedings. Councilman Magulre declared that avery delinquent employe would have a tale of woe which would convince the committee and that It was a waste of time. He protested against the hearing of more of the explanations, declaring that the committee had no authority to do anything even if the employes were deserving of dismissal from the city service. He declared his Intention of taking the question of a permanent loan fund up with the City Attorney. It is likely that the Execu tive Board will begin an Investigation of the delinquent employes, in the naar future. STREET EXTENSION ASKED Brooklyn Club Wants Viaduct Over Holgate Street, . A special meeting of the Brooklyn Improvement Club was held in the Gregory Hall Tuesday night to discuss the extension of Powell street from Mll waukie to the intersection of Wood ward avenue and East Seventh street, and the erection by the Southern Pa cific Railroad Company of a viaduct over their car track on Holgate street. It was voted that the City Engineer be asked to survey and make a report on the feasibility of the first proposal The extension of the street would take 17 lots at an estimated cost of 160.000. In the second case, it was the unan imous opinion of the members that the city should accept the proposal of the Southern Pacific to erect the viaduct at a cost of 138,000, the price the company offered. Instead of at a cost of $80,000, the amount the city desires the com pany to expend. City's Xeed Not Made Known. PORTLAND, Nov. 20. (To the Edi tor.) My attention has been called to the report from Hood River in The Sunday Oregon Ian, wherein it was stated that the Terminal Company had held up that city by asking a big price for a small piece of land needed for an Incinerator. The truth is that the said company, of which I am secretary, never gave any price, and was never asked to give a price on land for an Incinerator at Hood River. An agent of our company was in conference with two Councilmen and the City Attorney at Hood River last Saturday, but the fact that that city was wanting a site for an incinerator plant was in no wise made .knowh fo him by them.

DOCTORS WATCHING CASES Mild Epidemic of Smallpox Is Much Like Chicken Pox. nu ..imh.f rt rflaflnitA CARes of ll.O i . nntar tinker uttpnUnn hv T fl P Bma.lll'UA -...- city health authorities totals 17, seven of them In the hospital, the others being under observation in quarantine. Dr. C ri. yv neeier, ny xicb.ii.ii wu cer, said yesterday that he was ex- tAnlnD pnnnldprfthl A trouble In dealing with the outbreak chiefly be cause of tne oiriicuity oi omgngsing the very rrrua cases ana inrougn me slowness of some doctors In making known their cases. In addition, a small outbreak of chicken pox ados to tne trouble from the slmilarltiy of the two diseases. "Two cases of smallpox occurred on the East Side recently," said Dr. Wheeler, but in each case they were extraordinarily mild attacks, and the patients were treated for the grip. To this day it might not have been known that they had smallpox had it not been for the fact that a third person In the same house contracted the disease. By that time, however, the trouble had been done, for the other men were out and about all over the town. "Much of what was at first thought to be smallpox out at Weston has turned out to be chicken pox, of which there Is also some at the Ladd School and at Rose City Park. The similarity' of the two diseases adds to the diffi culty of checking the more serious one." MODEL SALOON IS HOPE WOODBITRX TO ALLOW TWO UN DER, RIGID ORDINANCE. Twenty-Three Applications for Li censes Are Filed, but Council Will Reject 21, at Least. WOODBURN, Or, Nov. 20. (Special.) Following the recent city election, when those in favor of saloon license hoodooed the opposition by the time honored "23," numerous applications for license have been filed with the City Recorder. According to the city char ter but two saloons will be allowed and much speculation is apparent as to the probable successful applicants. The City Council has set December 3 as the date , upon which all applica tions will receive consideration, at which time it is probable that licenses will be granted for two saloons, which will open their doors for business on January 1. The provisions of the charter give the Common Council full power to accept or reject any applicant and their decision is final. Stringent rules have been adopted for the regulation of the proposed sa loons and all applicants will have to file a bond for $1000 as a guarantee that they will obey and abide by all laws and regulations, in addition to paying the annual license fee of $1500 in advance. The regulations provide that there shall be no adjoining rooms, no card tables, no billiard or pool tables and that the fronts of each place of busi ness shall be so constructed that all parts of the barroom will be in plain view from the sidewalks. No advertising-signs will appear on the win dows or otherwise and during the closed hours no proprietor, employe or anyone will be allowed to enter or remain in the place of business. The ordinance provides for closing between 12 midnight until 6 A. M., on all Sun days, election days and on Memorial day, legislates against all kinds of lunches being served and provides a penalty for giving or attempting to give any drink or article of value to any police officer. No entrance Is al lowed except directly onto the street. ' It is predicted that, if the above and numerous other regulations are en forced to the letter, Woodburn will have two model saloons, which will not in any way compare with the five sa loons of ordinary type, which were voted out of existence two years ago. HUDSON'S BAIL IS $1500 APPLICATION MADE TO HAVE BOND SET. Prisoner, With Several Alianses. Is Still in Jail, but Will Be Taken to Baltimore Soon. ? . Intimations that John E. Hudson, alias Ringling, had found succor were seen in Municipal Court yesterday, when the first application since his arrest, over a week ago, was made for the fixing of bail. Hitherto the alleged lmnostor. who was caught when on the point of realizing on his supposed relation to the Ringlings or circus fame in the amount of 1000, has taken his confinement as a matter of course, and surety for his release has not been mentioned. The court suggested that a $2000 bond might be about right. "Can you raise that muVh?" asked Deputy District Attorney Hennessy. "No." replied toe defendant's attor ney, with emphasis. "Then I guess that will be satisfac tory," said Mr. Hennessy. The amount was cut finally to $1500. Hudson was ordered out from the box to have a telegraphic copy of the indictment on file against him at Bal timore read to him. Mr. Hennessy started to read before the prisoner ap. peared: "Shepherd, alias Hudson, alias Ringling" to the number of five or six, then, glancing around, saw that the prisoner was not present. "Bring those fellows out." he re quested. The prisoner heard, without a change of face, the reading of the Indictment, which set forth in full and In the an tiquated verbiage of the Eastern states that he had deserted his wife and had failed to support her, the of fense being a felony In Maryland. An officer with extradition papers is ex pected here before the end of the week and the prisoner will accompany him without resistance. ' Philip Pen and famous Russian Court Symphonic Orchestra, now at the Louvre. Also Mrs. Pelx and Miss Helen Horn, vocalists. From .to 8, and 10 to 12 P. M " A PLEDGE I will investigate what appears to be the greatest investment op portunity I have run across for years. I kuow the purpose of the Panama Canal; I believe it will open a new commercial era for the Pacific Coast. I am con vinced that it will increase the value of waterfront property in San Diego, San Francisco, Oak land, Astoria, Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. I am satisfied that the city that has made the least effort to profit by the opening of the Panama Canal. next year, has the greatest oppor tunity for profit. That's Port land. I know that nearly every avail able foot of waterfront in the City of Portland, and for miles either way, is owned by the rail road companies. I believe that the only water frontage that is obtainable now, by the man of small wealth, is at BRIDGE PORT. I cannot name a piece of prop erty within the city limits that stands the excellent chance for BRIDGEPORT advance in price that BRIDGE PORT does. I believe that I would be overlooking an unus ual investment, did I not investi gate, at least, the investment merits of BRIDGEPORT. I am of the firm opinion that $2000 invested in BRIDGEPORT now will increase more rapidly than $2000 invested in any other section of the city, especially dur ing the next few years, when steamship companies, railroads and big industries will all be seeking the very things that BKLUu EJrUlvi has to offer. Namely, deep water, five rail roads, hard-sur face pavement all the way from town, on streetcar lino, west side of river, between the bridges, 5c fare limit and at the very en trance of Portland Harbor. For these reasons, I WIL L LOOK INTO BRIDGEPORT AS THE BEST INVESTMENT IN THE CITY, TODAY. I will pay 10 per cent cash and 2 per cent a month, that's all.
