CITY MAY SHUNT PARKS COMMISSIOXER WOULD TIRJi BEAU TY SPOTS OVKIt TO COUNTY. Lack of Money Cause of Proposed Transfer f Benson and Other Parlu, If Lawful. Tho city wants to get rid of Benson Park and other municipally owned parks on Columbia River Highway. :ommissioner Baker, head of the Park Bureau, announced yesterday that he would take steps in the near future to get ownership of the parks along the Highway transferred to the countv, be lieving that their maintenance is a county function. The city has not the ecessary funds to make needed- im provements. How the transfer will be brought bout Mr. Baker, lias not aetermined. He has put the proposition up to City Atorney La Roc he for an opinion. The roperty was all donated by private wriers and S. Benson to the city for park purposes. 'It looks to me as though the parks long the Highway are purely undr he jurisdiction of the county." said Mr. Baker. "They are far from Portland nd very difficult for us to handle for that reason. To improve the parks as they should be improved will cost, we believe, about $100,000. .and the city asn't the monev to do it with. "We are being pressed by the resi- ents of every part of the city for play- rounds and parks. I feel that wa hould take care of these demands as rapidly as we can. and that means that we are strained to the limit financially. We would bring a world of criticism nd protest should we attempt to im prove the parks along the Highway as they should be improved. There are too many needs right here in the city. For that reason I am in favor of urning these parks over to the county for improvement and operation. The Highway belongs to the county, and hat places the County Commissioners in the positon of having to take cart- that much of the big river improve ment." Commissioner Baker says he has alked the proposition over with the County Commissioners and County Roadmaster Yeon and they all agree hat he is right.

In reply to a question as to whether there was any assurance that the street- ar company would construct a track on th extension. Mr. McMullin said there was no direct assurance, but that the extension would shorten the dts- nce from St. Johns to the business istrict more than IT, minutes, and that the company could save $30,000 a year on the new route.

AVarriner, Said to-Have Been Intoxicated' While Driving Auto at Time of Highway Acci dent,' Now Awaits Trial. , Is an automobile a dangerous weapon? District Attorney Waiter 11. Evans nays it is when the chaufeur is intoxi cated, and in consequence an indict ment was returned by the grand jury yesterday against A. C. Warriner, driv er of the automobile which ran down a motorcycle and seriously injured Mrs. Alfreda lieckman. wife of Henry H. Beckman, on the Columbia River High way April 9. Warriner is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon." The indictment, the first of its kind to be returned on the Pacific Coast and possibly new to Eastern states. charges that Warriner, "being then and there armed with a dangerous weapon, to-wlt. a motor vehicle com monly calied an automobile, did then and there unlawfully and feloniously assault one Alfreda Beckman with said dangerous weapon." The theory of Mr. Evans that an automobile is a dangerous weapon when driven by an irresponsible per son will be tested out In the Circuit Court. For a time Mr. Evans consid ered charging "assault with Intent to kill," finding authority in laws of other states for alleging "intent ' in the drinking of the liquor before taking out the automobile. It was decided it would be a difficult point to establish to the satisfaction of any jury and was abandoned for the simple one of as sault with a dangerous weapon. The charge against an autoist of driving while intoxicated is only a misdemeanor In Oregon and the penalty is not severe enough for an aggravated offense, said Mr. Evrns; hence, the charged placed against Warriner, which is a penal offense. In California there would have been no necessity for ouibbling. for "driving an automobile while intoxicated" is a penitentiary offerse in that state. Mr. Evans is in favor of making it a crime of similar magnitude in Oregon. Mrs. Beckman. victim of the acci dent, has left the hospital, terribly dis figured, as a result of the alleged care less driving. Sentiment against War riner was high after the accident. As sertions that he was going only 20 males an hour at the time of the acci dent were disproved by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Hammersley, he said, in an investigation which showed by skid marks that the automobile had been making a speed of about 40 miles. BRIDGE FIRM TO BE HELD Attorney Evans' Decides That Com pany Mtist Iive Vp to Contract. A contract's a Contract and must be lived up to. This is the decision of District At torney Evans in his recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners and Interstate Bridge Commission with regard to the reconstruction of pier No. 27 of the structure across the Co lumbia. During the construction the shifting river bottom played hob with pier No. 27.- making reconstruction work im perative. The contract of the Pacific Bridge Company, which sublet the work for this portion to the Tacoma Dredg ing Company, is airtight in the as sumption of responsibility for all ac cidents during the work necessitating reconstruction. Although John Lyle Harrington, en gineer in charge of the work, recom mended that the Bridge Commission stand the cost of reconstruction be cause the damage was from an un foreseen cause, the Pacific Bridge Com pany will be held liable, should the recommendations adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, subject to the ratification of the Bridge Commis sion, be acted upon. 2 SPEEDERS ARE JAILED Five Other Offenders Are Set Free.
