DISTRICT ATTORMEY STARTS OWN Shrievalty Vote Case Grows, but Mr. Evans Declines to Make Statement. HURLBURT YET GAINING Alleged Erasures Fail to Affect Count, Which Increases to Sher iff's Benefit Even Over Offi cial Mark of 2693 Votes. One witness was examined by Dis trict Attorney Evans yesterday in con nection with the Irregularities discov ered in 123 ballots cast for Sheriff at the November election in Precinct 37. Mr. Evans would not say who this wit ness was, nor would he make a state ment with regard to investigations into the evidences of fraud discovered dur ing the recount of the shrievalty vote. Th. 123 ballots, out of 330 cast In the precinct, contained erasures In front of T. M. Hurlburt's name and a new cross in front of Tom M. words name. Mr. Word was defeated by 171 votes, according to the official count, and brought contest, proceedings, alleging erroneous counting in each one of the 326 precincts in the county. The . recount under this contest Is now proceeding under the supervi sion of Circuit Judge Kavanaugh. and it was during the counting ot Precinct 37 that the erasures were discovered. Ballots Left In Polling Place. A. L. Clark, chairman of the day board, yesterday made a statement In which he charged that N. F. Donnelly, chairman of the night board, had left nearly 200 ballots lying on top of a crate in the polling place while he was at lunch. Mr. Clark said he went into the booth at 11:30 o'clock on the night of November 3 and saw the ballots lying there. Mr. Donnelly had stated in a depo sition Thursday that the erasures were not evident when he counted the meas ures on the ballots on the night of November 3, but that when his force began counting at .8 o'clock the follow ing night' the erasures at once were noticed. In his statement yesterday Mr. Clark also said that an extraordinary num ber of voters had asked for erasers. He said he changed the votes of some of them himself, where voters had voted for Mr. Hurlburt and wanted to vote for Mr. Word instead. He did not say that he changed 123 out of the 330, however. No other changes on any of the ballots were apparent. Artist Uses Eraser. Mr. Clark said the requests for erasers were so frequent that he as signed William Knowles, one of the clerks, to help people change their ballots. Mr. Knowles is an artist, and carried an eraser in his pocket. Knowles said last night that he re membered changing one woman's bal lot for her. "I might have changed two ballots, or possibly three," he said, "but posi tively no more than that. I don't re member that Mr. Clark particularly as signed me to the task of changing hllota." That the ballots in the polling place were left In charge of a special Deputy Sheriff, named Linde, while the judges and clerks were at lunch on November 4. is a statement that is Demg per sistently made. Linde. it is said, was a Word watcher at the polls ajid re mained at Precinct 37 until the count was finished. Word "Watcner"- Caller. The day board of judges consisted of Mr. and Mrs. A J- iam ana n.iii.n.. Ycsterdav Mr. Culhane said he went to lunch, leaving one of the clerks in charge. When he came oacs.. he says, counting had been resumed. All the board was there except him self, declared Mr. Culhane, and Linde, h .n.rlal Denutv Sheriff and Word watcher, had taken his place and was calling off the ballots. The day board passed up 51 erased ballots and counted them for Mr. Word, according to the disclosures in the re count. The night board rejected 71 A 1. 1. lint. Chairman Donnelly, oi tne mem board, said that wnen tne erui. were noticed a call was sent for the Sheriff. Deputy Sheriff Tom Word. Jr., responded, and after seeing some of the ballots, summoned his father, the Sher iff Mr. Donnelly said the Sheriff declared the ballots looked all right; that the . ... r-r.hohlv had changed their minds. Word MaKea stniemcni. n,,t t rinn't want the election if I have to win it on one crooicea The published statement, to Mr. Word's attorney, raui that if changes in tne Ua.iv.t oh. it was bv Hurlburt men who wanted to discredit tne pre:;". subjected to ridicule yesteraaj. jh.

Plans are in the process of for mation for extensive enlarge ments to be made to the plant of the Union Meat Company in North Portland, which, when completed, will entail an expendi ture of about $500,000. C. C. Colt, president and treasurer of the company, said yesterday that be tween $100,000 and $150,000 would be spent before next Fall in mak ing additions to the present plant The changes are to be made be cause of the increase in the com pany's business, last year's show ing being the record of history, despite the European war, which cut off all export trade. Part of the building programme is the erection of a large hog house. Work already is under way for enlargements to be made to some of the present buildings. The announcement of the Im provements was made Informally by Mr. Colt yesterday noon soon after he had finished addressing the Portland Realty Board on the subject of "Optimism and Confidence," in which he exhort ed the "real estaters" to think and say "business Is good." PROBE it is probable that an attempt will be made to present tnese an ev.ucuvc official count in this precinct was: n- x ran Hni-ihiirt 55. Precincts ad- Joining o'n every side gave Hurlburt bis majorities. Hurlburt Still Gains. The counting of disputed ballots un der the personal supervision of Circuit Judge Kavanaugh was resumed yester day, and further gains for Hurlburt were disclosed. No date was set for hearing arguments on Precinct 37, but this event is looked forward to with interest. . . The completed recount in 26 precincts gives Mr. Hurlburt a gain of 22 votes over the official ' count and shows a net loss to Mr. Word of 1 vote. The first 25 and the 28th Precincts com plete give Hurlburt 2715. Word 2445. The official count-was: Hurlburt 2693. Word 2446. ' . More disputed ballots may be heard by Judge Kavanaugh this afternoon if other court business does not interfere. REALTYMENOPPOSE BUS - DISCUSSION OF JITNEYS FOLLOWED BY TALK ON "OPTIMISM." Board Almost Unanimous In Opinion That New Passenger Service Is "Parasite" on Community. "I believe the unfavorable conditions we are just emerging from were caused directly by the muckrakers who a few years ago passed their time meddling with other persons' business and who couldn't bear to see good business get any better or big busi t tw bigger." declared C. C. rv.it nrosfdnnt of the Union Meat Com pany, in an address before the Realty Board yesterday on Confidence." "These knockers f encouraged tne American people, who are disposed to follow the leader like a Dana oi buccp, into the feeling if we can't have these profits we don't want anybody else to have them. v ! "I am glad to be able to say today that the pendulum has started to swing back on another arc, for people are again coming to realize, as is evidenced by the recent display of fair play to ward the railroads, that helping the other fellow's business indirectly helps their business and that nobody can hope to succeed except when others .. . i . . 1 ii a T-n are succeeamg. muo. also that they will nave to pay ! what they want and what they get. Mr. Colt contended mat pruaiJcuu and confidence, like fear and aouoi. were matters of mental attituae anu that mankind was not suDject to me influence of business conditions, oui rather the .creator of them. Preceding the address of the day J. Fred Larson and W. M. Killingsworth ir. a -kTinc.kinff bee" leveled at the institution of jitney busses. In which the jitneys were auDoeo. parBiu or. the community. This opinion ap peared to be shared almost unani mously by the realty members, who in,.i artnlnuriori the nrotestations and voted solidly that an investigation of the jitneys be referred to a special legislative committee, H. L. Idleman, j. x). Lee ana jar. Ltarsuu, wnu " empowered also to investigate me feasibility of favoring the retention of the Oregon Bureau of Mines and Geology, the merits or tne proposes appropriation of 4u.uuu to mawu u additional amount to be given by the Government to carry out irrigation work in Central Oregon ana xne pro posed changes in the blue sky law. "The jitneys are parasites, for they take something from the community to which they are not entitled," said Mr. Larson. "They are" hard to regulate, because the business cannot be organ ized. If the motor busses are usea to supplement the regular transportation lines in the outlying districts on a transfer basis they are beneficial to the city, but otherwise they have no place ir. our transportation system. "Portland could get along better without these busses which are stir ring up so much trouble in many other cities where tney nave oten men. Mr. Larson also referred to fake jitney busses, which, he said, were in tne habit of driving around to fill up with izirlH. It is not 'fair ball' to allow these busses to pick the cream off the trans portation traffic," said W. M. Killings worth. "They are parasites that ought to be sat upon immediately." M. M. Gilbert presided at yester day's meeting and Kathryn Ensey de lighted the Board with several solos. A. L. Mills, president of the First Na tional Bank, .will address the Board next Friday.

MANY CHANGES ARE MADE Parking of Machines and Reduction of Speed Limits Are Argued No Protest, However, Made to Provision for Pedestrians. Automobile dealers and drivers picked to pieces Commissioner Brewster's pro posed new traffic ordinance yesterday at a public hearing before the Council. In some of their contentions the auto ut. nn while in others they lost. Several points were left unsettled. The Council will wrestle with the problems again at another puouc meeting in about two weeks. Parking of machines in the business district was the principal bone of con tention. Under the proposed measure the district where parking is to be re stricted between 8 A. M. and $ P. M. extended south only to the north line of Yamhill street. Opposition was voiced to the plan of permitting park ing in the public market district. After much controversy the Council amended the south boundary of the district so as to include all of Yamhill street from First to Fifth. At Fifth the line now runs north to Morrison and west to Tenth street. Speed Boundaries Are Changed. An amendment was presented to pro hibit the parking of any vehicle in front of an entrance to a building. The Council left this question unsettled. Autoists declared the congested dis trict as proposed by Commissioner Brewster within which speed of ve hicles is limited is too far-reaching. As a result of a lengthy controversy, the boundaries were moved on the West Side from Thurman street south to Glisan street as the north boundary, and from Twenty-third street to Thir teenth street as the west boundary. Minor changes were made on the East Side. Objection was made to the plan of prohibiting automobiles from standing no longer than a half hour at any time during the day In the business district. There wts considerable argument about speed limits, which were opposed for any part of the city. ' "Leave It to a man's honor to drive at a reasonable speed," suggested A F. Dunlap. Skatlna- In Streets Opposed. Inasmuch as the Council did not reach the provision in the ordinance regulat ing speed, the question was not settled. A. N. Stanton objected to the pro vision of the ordinance permitting chil dren to roller skate in streets. "It is a dangerous pastime," said Mr. Stanton. The Council refused to change the skating part of the measure. Nobody was on hand to protest against the plan of requiring pedes trians to adhere to the whistle signals of traffic policemen, so this provision stood as drafted. There was some con troversy about traffic policemen being permitted to regulate traffic according to their own ideas. A. N. Stanton and others wanted them restricted to the enforcement of thcregulations as pre scribed in the ordinance. This was one of the questions left unsettled.
