TWO RECOGNIZE SUSPECT "Paul Lund," Declared by Prisoner to Be Keal Murderer, Ieft Xo Trail In Portland That Offi cers Have Thus Far Found. Edward Bartholomew will go on trial December 18 for the murder of John Iind a year ago. Bartholomew was ar raigned before Circuit Judge Davis yesterday and given until Friday to plead. But John White, appointed at torney for Bartholomew by the court, announced that the murder charge would be fought to the end, so that a plea of not guilty is assured. The trial would come before Circuit Judge Gatens, unless that jurists re cent illness requires that he go to Cali fornia before that time. District At torney Evans may conduct the prose cution in person, the record of unsolved murder mysteries and unpunished mur derers in Portland being too high, he believes. Yesterday was devoted by Detectives Know. Goltz and Coleman, who have been investigating the case, to rein forcing the net of evidence against Bartholomew. The examinations of the prisoner have ceased, for his attorney has advised him to talk no more of his actions. Batbolomew Recognizes FUheimfln, Bob Gavin, the fisherman sleuth, who followed Bartholomew through many states before finally successful in pointing him out to the Seattle police met the suspect face to face yesterday for the first time in a year. '' "Do you remember this man?" Dis trict Attorney Evans asked Bartholo mew. "Why, yes; he's the man I gave my coat to. replied Bartholomew. H. W. Reeves, who was with Gavin when the coat was given him, also identified Bartholomew yesterday as the donor. A clerk in the employ of Olds, Wort man & King, who sold some articles after the murder which were later found in the room where the murder was committed, was confronted with the prisoner yesterday, and recognized him as the man who had made the pur chases. Woman Identifies Prisoner Bartholomew was recognized by i woman who had conducted a lodging house at 327 Third street as a man who inquired of her for a room shortly be fore the murder. She remembered that Bartholomew had been insistent upon knowing whether there was a furnace in the house, and refused to take a room when he learned there was not. The detectives deduce that the murder was then being planned and that Bartholomew was searching for means of disposing of clothing and other articles. No one has yet been unearthed who remembers seeing "Paul Lund," the man Bartholomew maintains was the real murderer, in the company of either Bartholomew or Lind. In fact, the only evidence of the existence of such a man is in the assertions of Barthol omew. making a short stay in the city, is reg istered at the Seward. G. A.

SPECIAL MEETING IS SET REPAIRS ASKED OF COUNTY City Requests Rebuilding of Dam aged Bridge Pier. City Attorney LaRoche is of the opinion that the county and not the city is obligated to make repairs to the main pier of the Hawthorne avenue bridge, which has been damaged by drift logs. His opinion to this effect caused the Council yesterday to re quest the county officials to make the repairs. The estimated cost of the work is $1500 for repairs to the concrete and $1800 for the rebuilding of dolphins for the protection of the pier in the future. "The Song of Songs" is not a song. Adv. Council Will Hold Session Next Thursday to Regulate Jitneys and Commissioner Baker 19 to Submit Franchise. City Commissioner Daly has taken until next Thursday to complete a re vision of the standard taxicab zone system, which the City Council or dered him to revise so as to eliminate the subterfuge by which the Jitneys have been evading the Council's safety and service regulations. Mayor Albee told Mr. Daly yesterday that the revision should be completed as quickly as possible and asked him to set the earliest date the new stand ard zone system can be filed with the Council. Mr. Daly set the time at 1C A. M. next Thursday. At that time a special meeting of the Council will be held to take up the whole subject of Jitney regulation. There will be up for discussion a pro posed franchise prepared by Commis sioner Baker at the request of the Council, another proposed franchise prepared by Commissioner Daly, sev eral proposed franchises covering the Jitney line to Linnton and a franchise sought by Stephen Carver for the southeastern, part of the city. Other Systems to Be Studied. The meeting originally was planned for Tuesday of next week, but Com missioner Baker asked for postpone ment because he intends to go to Spo kane, Seattle and Tacoma between now and then to make a study of the Jitney situation in those cities. He will leave Friday night and' probably will be gone until the following Yednesday He will get first-hand information on the way those cities are handling the Jitney problem which has been so both ersome In Portland. It is expected that between now and the Thursday session the Jitneyn will be allowed to operate as they are at present, although it is said they have no right so to do, either as Jitneys or taxicabs. There is an ordinance in effect which prohibits the operation of itneys without a franchise and as tax icabs they would be operating on a zone system that has been nullified. Equitable Dali Desired. Just what Commissioner Daly will propose in the way of a new standard zone system for taxicabs is a question It Is said that the only zone plan he can devise that will meet Councilmanic pproval is a system which will pro vide service to all parts of the city on an equitable basis. How far the Council will get with the franchise question is uncertain. At present the main differences between Mr. Daly and the rest of the Council is that Mr. Daly wants to give the Jitneys a franchise virtually on their own terms, while the rest of the Coun cil insists that a franchise such as this Is of great value and that the city should exact from the Jitney corpora tion reasonable compensation, service and safety, the same as has been done in all other public utility franchises granted in Portland.

Good ell, of the local Young Men's Christian Association. Prior to 1795 days of thanksgiving had been intermittently observed by various of the states, particularly of New England,' and even Washington had appointed a day of thanksgiving for November 26, 17S9, at the adoption of the Constitution of' the United States, but until the proclamation of January 1, 1795, setting aside February 19 as the day of thanksgiving, the observation had not been generally proclaimed. Lincoln Established Precedent. A number of days of thanksgiving were observed on the resolution or the Continental Congress in 1777 and later by Congress. President Madison was one of the few during the early part of the 19th century to proclaim a day. The precedent for our observation of Thanksgiving was established by President Lincoln, who set aside by proclamation the fourth Thursday of November in 1864 for general thanks giving. Since that time other Presi dents and Governors of states have followed his example. The following is the text of the first general proclamation that re-echoes. In a large measure, the spirit of the mod ern United States: "When we review the calamities which afflict so many other nations. the present condition of the United States affords much matter of conso lation and satisfattion. Our exemp tion hitherto from foreign war, our increasing prospect of the continuance of that exemption, the great degree of international tranquillity we have en Joyed,- the recent confirmation of that tranquillity by the suppression or an insurrection (the whisky insurrection in Western Pennsylvania), which so wantonly threatened it. the happy course of our public affairs in gen eral. the unexampled prosperity of all classes of our citizens, and circum stances which peculiarly mark our sit uation with indications of the divine beneficence towards us. "In such a state of things it is in an especial, manner our duty as i people, with devout reverence and af fectioatate gratitude, to acknowledgi our many and great obligations to Almighty God. and to implore him to continue and confirm the blessings we experienced. February 19 Selected. "Deeply penetrated with these senti ments. I, George Washington. Presi dent of the United States, do recommend to all religious societies and denomina tions, and to all persons whomsoever. within the United States, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 19th day of February next, as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, and on that day to meet together and render sin cere and hearty thanks to the great Kuier or .Nations for the manifold and signal mercies which distinguish our lot as a Nation; particularly for the possession of constitutions of govern ment which unite, and by their union establish liberty with order for the preservation of our peace, foreign and domestic: for the reasonable control which has been given to a spirit of dis order in the suppression of the late insurrection, and generally for the prosperous condition of our affairs public and private, and at the same time humbly and fervently beseech the .Kind Author of all blessings gra ciously to prolong them to us: to im print on our hearts a deep and solemn sense of our obligations to him for them; to teach us rightly to estimate their immense value; to preserve us from the arrogance of prosperity and from hazarding the advantages we en Joy by delusive pursuits, to dispose us to merit the continuance of his fa vors Dy not abusing them, by our gratitude for them, and by a corre sponding conduct as citizens and as men to render this country more and more a safe and propitious asylum for the unfortunate of other countries: to extend among us true and usefu knowledge; to diffuse and establish habits of sobriety, order, morality and piety, and finally to impart all the blessings we ask for ourselves to the whole family of mankind. "In testimony thereof. I have caused the seal of the United States of Amer ica 'to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand. Done at the city of Philadelphia the firs day of January, 1795. OTHER SYSTEMS TO BE VIEWED Commissioner Baker to Visit Wash ington Cities. . To get first-hand information re garding the way Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma are handling the Jitney prob lem. City Commissioner Baker will visit thotj cities and make a study. He expects to leave Friday. "We have heard all kinds of talk about the Jitney regulations in other cities." said Mr. Baker to the Council yesterday. "I Intend to look into the subject personally, and particularly the question or bonds to protect the pub lic. I understand they have bonds in the state of Washington, and I wish to look into the subject thoroughly." Mr. Baker will take the trip at his own expense. BUDGETGUTS PROTESTED SHERIFF AXD COBOXER INSIST FILL, AMOUNTS ARE NEEDED. Advisory Committee Slashes Morgue. Ncnapaprr Advertising and Motor Vehicle Maintenance It emu. Cuts of the advisory budget commit tee were protested before the Board of County Commissioners yesterday by Sheriff Hurlburt and Coroner Damasch. Sheriff Hurlburt wished restored the $12,000 appropriation necessary for the publication of the delinquent tax list. The budget committee cut this down to $4000. viewing that advertisement In one newspaper would be sufficient. The law reads "newspapers of more than 10.000 circulation," and Mr. Hurl burt declared he must follow the law. Sheriff Hurlburt also objected to the slicing of an Item of 14500 asked for equipment and maintenance of motor cycles and automobiles in use by his department to $700. A report was asked by the Commissioners from the road department to ascertain whether some of this necessary equipment could not come from that department. A county morgue, which can be es tablished at a cost of $5000, is the demand of Coroner Dammasch. The budget committee cut that Item from his estimate for 1917.
