Commissioner Bigelow Says Facts i
Are Hot Fairly Presented by
Advocates of Payment.
Claims presented to the city ol
Portland by creditors of Hans Peder
son, who constructed the publicaudl
torium, amounting to approximately
$76,000 will not be allowed by the
city council. This was decided by ma
jority members of the council at an
Informal meeting.
Creditors and bondsmen contend
that throuKh changes demanded by
city officials In materials used In the
building and because of conditions
which arose because of the war, the
contractor was forced to expenses
which the city Is morally obligated to
pay. .
Investigation Is Made.
After the claims had been presented
by J. C. Bayer, trustee. Mayor Baker
appointed a committee composed of
William F. Woodward, Otto R. Hast-
wlg-, Franklin T. Griffith, Marshall N.
Dana and E. B. McNaughton, to in
vestigate and make recommendations
to the council.
After a thorough investigation, this
committee reported that, in its opin
ion, there la justly due to the claim
ants from the city such sum of money
as will reimburse them for the losses
for which they cannot be held prop
erly responsible. The committee rec
ommended the appointment of a com
mittee of fair-minded men, engineers
and experts Qualified by training and
experience, to determine the exact
amount which'the equities may indi
cate.
The committee also cited the f act I
that Mr. Pederson had contracted for
stone from a quarry in Washington,
and that city officials urged the cut
ting of the stone in Portland, so that
it might aid In relieving the unem
ployment situation which existed at
this time.
Action Held Optional.
Members of the present city coun
cil, which Includes Mayor Baker
and City Commissioner Bigelow,
contend that Mr. Pederson was merely
requested to cancel his quarry con
tract, that he was not obliged to do
so, and any losses which were sus
tained by virtue of this act cannot be
charged to the city.
"As far as I am concerned," said
Mayor Baker, "I do not believe that
this council has the authority to pay
any part of the claim. If the creditors
feel that the money Is due them, they
should go before the voters at the
next election and allow the people to
d'eclde the issue.
Although Mayor Baker feels that
the council cannot pay the claims, he
Is willing to submit the question to
the voters. City Commissioner Bige
low, however, is not willing even to
do that. He holds that the city is not
legally responsible and refuses to
give any further consideration to the
claim. ,
Commissioner Barbur does not be
lieve the city has any legal right to
ray the claims, and City Commission
er Pier, who was not a member of thti .
council when the contract with Mr.
Pederson was made, is willing to fol
low the advice of his colleagues. City
Commissioner Mann was not present
at the meeting at which the question
was discussed.
AD CLUB "JINKS" F
"BILL" STBAXDBORG BLACK
SMITII OF rMPIlOMJ'TC TOY
Retiring President Ejected From
Stage for Being Too Serious.
Officers Initiated.
Beneath a phony enestnut tree
The village smithy stood;
The smith, a comic cuss was he
His wife was also good.
"Bill" Strandborg, blacksmith of the
tmpromptn village settled on the top
floor of the Oreg-on building Thurs
day by the Portland Ad club, easily
outclassed the rest of the settlement
when it came to presenting a com
plete and striking picture. "Bill"
and his amiable consort, who ap
peared in a hat of the mode of 1860,
among other things, were only two
among many weirdly costumed of the
Ad club villagers.
Ad club members oelebrated
their annual "Jinks" Thursday and
Initiated officers for the year 1920.
There was but one serious moment in
the whole show. That came when
Marshall N. Dana, retiring president,
in making a reply to a presentation
speech, sought to express himself In
a. manner not In accord with "Jinks"
atmosphere. President Dana was
forthwith thrown off the Btage for
being "too goldurn serious."
The officers-elect, Edward . N.
Strong, president; W. S. Kirkpatrick,
vice-president; George L. Rauch, sec
ond vice-president, and William J.
Piepenbrlnk, secretary-t reasurer.
were inaugurated as no officers were
ever Inaugurated outside of an Ad
club "Jinks" by Master of Ceremonies
Morrow, whose cardinal gown got by
until It proved to be a bathrobe.
A musical programme that warmed
the cockles of the heart was present
ed by the village talent. Topllnlng
the bill was a danseuse about knee
high to the village grasshoppers, who
danced two solo dances in the dubious
""opry -house" stage. Other numbers
were wildly applauded, notably the
Hawaiian dunce, which bade fair to
disrupt the morals of the village.
"Constabule" John T. Dougall,
"Red" Riggs. Parson John Etheridge.
"Dude" English, "Kid" Strong and
Trombonist Jenkins were among the
prominent villagers having a good
time. "Doc" Hpblnson's wife was
there, and so was Mrs. "Bill" Piepen
brlnk. Jane Hlnkey and Eva Annls
wore their best calico dresses and
bad a fine time.

of Grain, Say. Oaear Vanderbllt
of Hood River. '
HOOD RIVER, Or., Jan. 9. (Spe
cial.). China pheasants here are
ralnine new fame. Al "W. Peters,
Mat sir! A nrrhflrrtist who declared he
observed the birds sitting on frozen!
apples, thawlnr the fruit until it
was edible, characterized them as
wiser than owls.
Oscar Vanderbilt, another east side
grower, who has been co-operating
with the Hood River County Game
Protective association In feeding' the
pheasants throug-h the frigid weather,
recently said' China cocks are pos
sessed of a chivlary and courtesy that
is impressive.
"I have some 100 regular pheasant
boarders near my barnyard," said Mr.
Vanderbllt. "Daily I scatter wheat
for them, the handsome birds come
from all directions. But the roosters
all stand .to one side until the ben
birds have eaten their fill. No China
cock ever feeds until females are all
through."
The local game association has dis
tributed food to various parts of the
valley. Approximately $100 has been
spent for grain for the pheasants,
quail and grouse. State Game War
den Shoemaker has offered to pay
for a, half of the feed.

trial. ,
Recommendations of the Joint com
mittee have been forwarded to the
city council and It is probable that a
date for final hearing will be set
within the next two weeks. Follow
ing this hearing the council will con
sider the ordinance for final passage.
