tripped him of all he had.
For ,155.000 Mr. Dodge says he pur
chased a tract of timber land in Ska
manis ? County, containing W?
ly 93 000.0UO feet. This land, he says,
is now worth 1250,000.
Misrepresentation Is AiieBeu.
Kribs and Jones, says me cuiuv.".h
represented to him that they had
,51.895.0 feet of timber near. his. and
that it was worth $l,383,ti-u-rn?de
a contract with him whereby .he
was to turn over his timber land . PUd

Dodge alleges that Kribs and Jones
exaggerated the amount of timber on

Sit hU contract conta ned a clause
which made it impossible for him to
comply in view o ""Va.lroad
to have be'en paid over to him in
Xprll 1913. Dodge says he had to ad
vance the money to build the road hta
elf and that it cost about J370.000. AO
Sttfonal cost was due to the delay of
Krib. and Jones in getting the money

tliat his contract had been violated and
that they would immediately take pos
session of the railroad and retain the
"niber land he had turned over to them.
At this time, says Dodge in ha com-!
plaint, he was almost bankrupt and the
three concerns of which he was head
were hovering on the edge of insol
vency. In order to put the logging
d through he had borrowed money
from his own companies. But in spite
f this he says, he was still firm in
. belief that the other two men would
Jive up to their part of the contract.
Insolvency 0 Averted.
' Kribs and Jones Indorsed his note for
150 000 he declares, to keep him from
lol'ng bankrupt- They did this because
they were at that time trying to float
IS- bond Tissue, and to have Dodge be
come insolvent at that time would
make it impossible for them to sell

not to press him if Jones and Kribs
would let his contract for the logging

He declares the two men agreed to this
and work again proceeded.
On May 14. 1914. Dodge alleges Kribs
and Jones ousted him from the road
on grounds, that he had violated his
contract. The forfeiture clauses gave
them the railroad, into which he had
unk a great deal of his money, and
they were already in possession of his
' Dodge1"; that his liabilities are
S475.000. and that his total assets are in
clumber mill at Rainier and this he
ays. is "of doubtful value.' The af
fairs of Dodge and his three corpora
tions are all being administered to-
Dodige asks in his complaint that all
of his contracts with Jones and Kribs
be rescinded, that the defendants be
required to pay him $370,000 for buill
lng the logging railroad, and either
return him his original timber land or
pay him $250,000 for it.

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.

The day board of judges consisted of
Mr. and Mrs. A J- iam ana

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

TJNION MEAT COMPANY TO
SPEND $500,000 ON PLANT
ON PENINSULA.
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."

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.

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. '

TRAFFIC UVMCKED
Council Hears Autoists Pick
Proposed Law to Pieces.
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.
