ST. JOHNS ITEM ELIMINATED
Several Oregon Cities' Provided For
In Buildings Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 19. There will be no pub
lic building to house the branch post
office at St. Johns. The item in the
omnibus building bill appropriating
$25,0Q0 for a postoffice building at St.
lohns was eliminated today, as the re
eult of a protest entered by Chairman
JiarK, or the public buildings commit
tee. Mr. Clark based his protest on a
letter from Postmaster Myers, of Port-
lnad, in which the postmaster called
attention to the fact that St. Johns is
now within the corporate limits of
Portland. Mr. Myers, In protesting
against the appropriation, further said:
"So far as I know there is no de
mand from any source for a Federal
building at St- Johns. In fact, there is
about as much need for a Federal build
lng at St- Johns as there is for another
Washington monument In Washington,
X. C My opinion Is that the people of
this city would look upon the construe'
tion of a Federal building at St. Johns
as a waste of public money."
Chairman ClarK said he would op
pose any appropriation for branch post
office buildings, as It is the policy of
the Government to house branch offices
in rented quarters.
The other Oregon items In the omni
bus buildings bill. $70,000 for a building
and site at Oregon City, $60,000 for
building 'and site at Hood River and
$10,000 for a site at Corvallis, were
retained in the bill. In addition Mr.
Sinnott secured an amendment appro
priating $10,000 for a site at Klamath
Falls. Representative Hawley offered
an amendment appropriating $50,000 for
a building at Corvallis, but this amend
ment was defeated.
Representatives Hawley and Sinnott
voted for the passage of the public
buildings bill. Representatives McAr
thur and Johnson and LaFollette of
Washington voted against the bill.
In addition to the Oregon Items, the
bill carries $275,000 for an Immigration
station at Seattle. $75,000 for a building
and site at Hoquiam. $83,000 for Coeur
d'Alene and $65,000 for Blackfoot,
Idaho.

PAVING SUIT IS PROBABLE
Clichalis Property Owners Object to
Paying Again.
CHEHAXJS. Wash.. Jan. 19. (Spe
cial.) National avenue property own
ers in Chehaiis who are confronted
with a $2100 reassessment for paving
will contest the matter in court. The
question arises from the fact that the
portion of the pavement along the
streetcar track was not properly pro
vided for in making the original levy.
The property owners contend that as
their original assessment was within
a few dollars of the estimate for the
work made by the City Council in its
original resolution, it will be lmpos
sible for the City Commission to hold
them for the extra $2100.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. A telegram
from Samuel Untermyer, protesting
against the use of his name as though
he "had been seeking a job, read to
the House by Representative Fitzger
ald, precipitated a new discussion of
the leak inquiry. The telegram de
clared Untermyer did not want the
place and could only have accepted it
at a great sacrifice.
Representative Miller of Minnesota
objected to the tone of the message,
which be said reflected on the House.
"I think he is not justified." said Mr.
Miller, "in sending a message that is
an insult to Congress. I do not think
his message is either parliamentary or
decent."
FitiKerold Defends Untermyer.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he objected to
"the throwing of bricks" at private
citizens who have rendered public
service.
Representative Moore. Republican,
of Pennsylvania, ended the discussion
by saying:
"Mr. Untermyer was retained to in
vestigate the sugar trust; he was the
people's representative for that in
quiry, but I know that he represented
great corporations. When Lawson sug
gested Untermyer I questioned his
right to serve. He is the last person
to be considered in connection with
safety for the . quiry."

VERDICT GIVEN FOR HORSES
Animals Sold by Stableman Are to
Be Paid For.

sertion of the defendants that they
did not know where the animals were,

Turtledove in the District Court this
week against Elmer Nash. Mike Nash
and Harry Squires In lieu of the re
turn of a gelding and bay mare, and
a $65 harness was ordered turned over
