Erstwhile Warrant Shaver Dis
burses About $28,000 Ilennes-
y Item May Be Taken Up
latter at Board Sleeting.
Multnomah County emoloyea will get
their salary warrants for August this
afternoon. Chairman W. I. Lightner,
of the Board of County Commissioners,
consented to the elimination of one
item from the payroll, and signed the
sheet yesterday. Deputies in the office
of County Clerk Coffey worked late
last night and will continue today so
the warrants may be ready.
Few in the employ of the county
who Jiad dire need for their salaries
went without yesterday. They were
paid, but not by the county.
Mose Bloch, against whom the
County Commissioners had adopted
resolutions because of warrant shav
ing, appeared at the Courthouse with a
bag of gold. Golden eagles poured
forth in a continuous stream all day.
By night about $28,000 had been paid
out. Mr. Bloch announced that he
would not charge a cent of interest for
the accommodation.
"It's an emergency proposition the
boys need the money," he said.
Interest Is 6 Per Cent.
So a large slice of the $44,356 payroll
will go direct into the hands of Mose
Bloch today. The county is short of
funds and Bloch will receive 6 per cent
Interest on the warrants, if the treas
ury cannot redeem' them at once, from
the county. This is not likely, for
County Treasurer Lewis announced
that he would have nearly $40,000 on
hand within a few days from tax col
lection and fees.
The nam of "M. F. Hennessy" Dis
trict Clerk Hennessy's daughter. May.
which was scratched off the payroll
by Commissioner Rufus C. Holman
Thursday, was definitely eliminated
from the pay-sheet when Commissioner
Lightner yesterday consented to the
change and signed the roll.
The question of the raise of salary
of Clerk Hennessy may be considered
at a meeting of the Board when Com
missioner Holbrook returns from his
vacation at Tillamook. The. Board had
already acted on this in the absence of
Commissioner Holman, but his objec
tions may bring the matter up for fur
ther discussion.
That Commissioner Holman was
within his rights to have objected to
the payment of any item on the payroll,
but that he should not have mutilated
the Auditor's record, was the opinion
of District Attorney Evans on the case
yesterday.
Auditor Is ITpneld.
E. Sweeney, Deputy County Auditor,
wrote Mr. Evans for an opinion, as
both Hennessy items were covered by
orders of the Board. Mr. Evans replied
that the Auditor had sufficient warrant
for placing the items on his payroll,
but that it must be signed by two
Commissioners before he would be au
thorized to issue warrants covering the
Items of the claim sheet.
In the Judgment of Mr. Evans, Mr.
Holman should not have ruled out the
May Hennessy Item, as it represented
the action of the Auditor In making
up the record. Mr. Evans suggested,
however, the elimination of any items
in dispute and the signing of the rest
of the payroll, so as not to Inconven
ience county employes.
Mr. Hennessy was authorized to em
Ploy a new deputy at $80 a month on
July 20. He installed his 15-year-old
daughter. He received an increase of
salary of $15 a month August 16, by
order of the Board.
PENDLETON LABOR SCARCE
Warehousemen Crews Short Even at
Offerings of $3.50 Wage.
PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.)
Pendleton Is facing a labor shortage
for the first time in years. Warehouse
men are complaining, of the fact they
are unable to hire men to fill out their
house crews, even at $3 and $3.50 a
day. John Montgomery, of the Pacific
Elevator & Warehouse Company, yes
terday was six behind his full crew.
Approximately 60 warehouses are
handled by Pendleton grain dealers.
The situation here is peculiar, as har
vest is almost over and ordinarily there
is an abundance of warehouse hands.
The year is unusual also in that there
have been few hobos in evidence this
Bummer.
STATE GAME LAW IN DOUBT
Hunters Warned Against Killing
Migratory Birds.
PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 1. (Special.)
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Oregon state law opens the game sea
son for migratory birds today, accord
ing to District Attorney Frederick
Steiwer. of Pendleton, the sportsman
who kills migratory birds before Octo
ber 1 is taking a serious chance of
being brought into court for a viola
tion of the Federal law.
Several Pendleton men, claiming that
the Supreme Court will declare the
Federal law unconstitutional, have an
nounced their intention of shooting
these birds from now on.

Moore, a woodhauler, was fined $15 in
Justice Court. Sentence was suspended
on good behavior, on recommendation
of the District Attorney's office. Mem
bers of crews from the penitentiary are

Portland Company to Use Old

COLUMBIA SPAN NEAR DONE
Agreement on Fares to Be Subject to
Approval In Oregon and Wash
ington, and Also by Sec
retary of War.
(Continued From First Page.)
The commission decided that it would
be inadvisable to give the option. In
making this decision the principal fac
tor was the fact that 40 feet of paving
would have to be put in if provision
were made for the street railway using
thte embankment later. Otherwise 30
foot paving would be amply sufficient.
Trestle Advantages Cited.
In urging that the railway be per
mitted to use its old trestle approach,
Mr. Fuller declared the old approach
to be 1000 feet shorter than the em
bankment approach, and that a better
average speed could be maintained ow
ing to the fact that there would be no
interference by other vehicles and traf
fic. Members of the commission ex
pressed the belief that the embankment
would be safer, but finally yielded to
the request of the company.
A clause in the proposed franchise
providing that the streetcar company
should give first-class service for pas
sengers and freight was changed so
as to not make the freight service
compulsory. Mr. Fuller explained that
his company was' not. in shape- to
handle a freight service.
The proposed franchise will also
provide that the railroad company in
laying its track on the bridge ap
proach shall put in the same pavement
as that used in surfacing the approach,
or pavement which shall have been
approved by the Bridge Commission.
Another provision is that the fares
charged shall be subject to the ap
proval of the Secretary of War and
the Public Service Commissioners of
Oregon and Washington.
learnings Proviso Protected.
A provision of the proposed fran
chise providing for the company re
ceiving half of the net earnings for
streetcar traffic upon the bridge, and
the two counties receiving the other
half, was objected to strenuously by
Mr. Fuller. He declared that in order
to be able to compete on a fair basis
the streetcar company should be
treated the same as other common car
riers. E. E. Howard explained that it had
been necessary to put in a heavier and
more expensive bridge in order that it
might be fitted to handle streetcar
traffic tl was further explained that
the company would not be out any
thing for the laying of the rails across
the bridge proper as that was all
made a part of the bridge construction.
No decision was reached, and the
matter will be taken up later along
with other details of the franchise, by
a committee representing the commis
sion, with representatives of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company.
This committee is composed of Dis
trict Attorney Evans. District Attorney
Blair, F. M. Cortelyou, and a repre
sentative of each county to be chosen
by Mr. Evans. Afte the details of the
franchise have been worked out the
committee will report to the bridge
commission. .... . I . .
The proposed franchise, aa originally
submitted by the committee, without
the changed decided upon for the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, was adopted as a model franchise
by the Commission.
It was announced at the meeting that
the question of requiring jitneys to
tape out a franchise to operate over
the bridge will be taken up later.
Several claims for damages resulting
from the high water, alleged to havo
been 'caused to a certain extent by the
embankment approach damming up the
overfloow, were referred to F. M.
Cortelyou, engineer, for investigation.
Resolutions were passed to take steps
providing for dedication services on
the completion of the bridge and ask
ing the co-operation of commercial and
similar bodies in the move. The time
for the dedication was not set, as the
time of completion is still a matter of
doubt. ,
E. E. Howard, consulting engineer,
who, with District Attorney Evans,
made an inspection of the work on
the bridge yesterday, announced that
it is proceeding in a satisfactory man
ner. He said that the work on the
bridge and approach, now in progress,
will be completed by the end of next
month, when the time limit" expires.
There will then remain but the paving
of the approach to complete the work.

To make sure that there will be no

LIQUOR CASE FAILS

USE OF INFORMERS SCORED
State Also Should Be on Trial, Jur
ist Says Evidence of Sales
Procured by Hired Agent
Carries Xo AVeight.
Bootlegging evidence secured by a
state's agent paid "$5 a day and all the
booze he could drink" is not the proper
kind to bring into a court ruled Circuit
Judge McGinn yesterday when he
directed a verdict in favor of George
Hoffman, appellant from a J200 fine
levied In the District Court. Deputy
District Attorney Ityan gave notice of
an appeal to the Supreme Court on
alleged error in law.
"I've been trying to drill into your
head for four days. Tommy, that the
state cannot be a party to a crime and
get a conviction in my court" said
Judge McGinn. "The law is meant to
punish people for crime and not to in
vite them to commit crime and then
punish them for it."
"I'm going to appeal this case. "I "
Ryan began. He intended to say more,
but Judge McGinn cut him short.
"Wait a minute, Tom. Your long
winded speeches are all right for a
Hibernian picnic, but not here."
The verdict was directed on motion
of John Manning, attorney for the de
fense, at the conclusion of the state's
case. The action of Judge McGinn
might have been predicted from his
own statement at the opening of the
case during the selection of the jury.
Ryan wanted to 'ask the prospective
jurors if evidence of state's agents
would prejudice them in giving their
verdict. Attorney Manning objected to
the question.
"Objection sustained," ruled Judge
McGinn. "The court will instruct the
jury that if the state of Oregon caused
this crime there will be no conviction.
A thing I will not stand la the instiga
tion of a crime by the state.
"It is not a question of an informer
or stool-pigeon, but of the state itself,
through its agents and money fur
nished by the state. Conviction on such
evidence ought to be denied in any
state in the country. The idea of en
trapping people into crime is abhorrent
to the court."
"I object to this, it Is prejudicial to
the jury," interrupted Ryan.
. "The state ought to beon trial, too,"
returned Judge McGinn.
Hoffman was arrested at his home
on the alleged selling of whisky to a
Jitneur, who said he had secured cus
tomers for the alleged blind pig. Liquor
to the value of 400 was confiscated by
the state.

In Mystery and Appearance In
Lumber Trade Here Has Xot
Yet Been Assured.
Although only 1000 tons of sulphur
remains to be delivered at Portland
from Japan on contracts for 1916 held
by Mitsui & Company, that firm is
about to execute contracts for the de
livery of sulphur here during; 19l7, as
well as lots of hardwood, and the
probabilities are that more vessels will
be handled than during the present
year.
The company yesterday cleared the
Japanese steamer Nippo Maru for the
west coast of South America with a
lumber cargo. She is the most recent
arrival from Japan with cargo and,
after the present voyage, is to load
nitrate. It was intended to sail the
steamer yesterday, but delay in get
ting the last of her lumber aboard
caused a postponement until today.
Though her cargo Is small, measuring
it by that usually loaded on a tramp,
amounting to 1,489.706 feet, it Is to be
delivered over considerable territory. It
is made up of parcels for Callao. Payta,
Iquique, Pascasmayo, Antofagasta and
Tocopilla. The lot is valued at $17,162.
Japanese sulphur drawn here is
utilized by paper manufacturing plants
and large shipments have been made in
the past. Municipal Dock No. 3, at St.
Johns, being used for storage from the
time the material is discharged from
ships until it is moved to the plants.
Mystery is alleged to surround the
future movements of the British steam
er Blackheath. which is at San Fran
cisco and reported under charter to
load lumber on the Columbia River for
the United Kingdom. The name of the
charterer is being withheld and it was
said yesterday that it was not certain
the vessel would be sent here.
The British steamer Atlantic City.
A. F. Thane & Company, is also to load
here. Both are now discharging coal
at California City which was loaded on
the Atlantic Coast, and It is believed
the material they will load outward is
Intended for the British government.
An arrival expected in the river today
is the steamer Republic, which loads
lumber for the West Coast and there
takes a nitrate cargo for the Atlantic
side.
FLEET REMAINS WITHDRAWN
Prospects Not Bright for American
Hawaiian Resumption.
Prospects for resumption of the serv
ice of the American-Hawaiian fleet be

harbors via the Canal are no brighter
than when the company abandoned the
route, according to information re
ceived from San Francisco. C. W. Cooke,
head of the interests of the line on
the Pacific side, has returned to his
San Francisco headquarters from New
York, without encouraging news.
The Mexican is due within the Golden
Gate today from the Hawaiian Islands,
and the Floridan is to come along
later, and they will bring the last sugar
from the islands the company intends
to handle this season. It is assumed
the liners will be chartered for busi
