PERMIT S PROMISED
Vote for Denial of Permit Followed
by Announcement That Matter
"Will Be Taken to Court.
Test of the lgal power of the city
council to refuse permission for erec
tion of apartment houses In what la
considered exclusive residential dis
tricts will be made In courts, follow
ing the denial of an application of
C. V. Everett to build an apartment
house on King and Main streets.
This announcement was made yes
terday by Roscoe P. Nelson, attorney
for Mr. Everett and his associates In
the proposed project. According: to
Mr. Nelson, the entire scheme of zoning-
will be involved in the applica
tion for a mandamus to force the city
to issue the building permit for the
structure planned.
Vigorous protest against the grant
ing; of the application was made be
fore the city council yesterday by
Wallace McCamant, former justice of
the state supreme court, Allen Lewis
and Charles F. Beebe, all home own
era In the vicinity of the site of the
proposed apartment.
Conrraerdallsm Long. Kougat.
Judge McCamant told of the years
f constant effort on the part of
property owners to prevent intrusion
f commercialism in the district. The
lata Theodore B. Wilcox, he said, had
purchased the site on which it is now
proposed to construct the apartment
house, and the property was sold by
Mr. Wilcox to Lieutenant-Colonel
George Kelly on a verbal stipulation
that a home would be built on the
property.
Attorney Nelson told the council
that Mr. Everett and his assoclatei
proposed to Invest i 300,000 in the pro
posed structure and its furnishing.
planning the finest apartment house
In the city. He said that although
he believes in zoning, the present
controversy raised the question of
whether zoning was for the benefit
of the city as a whole or was some
thing to be availed of by etx or seven
people "who wish to build a Chinese
wall about a district la which thev
are residents."
"The feeling of the protestants is
the natural growing pain inflicted
on the residents of any district not
permitted to stagnate, said Mr. Nel
eon. "The city must grow and the
property in question is strictly apart
' ment house property."
Barbur and Nelson Clash.
A tilt occurred between City Com'
missioner Barbur and Attorney Nel
son when the former announced his
intention of voting for denial of the
application before the arguments of
the applicant had been presented. For
a time Mr. Nelson refused to present
his side of the case, saying that it
would be of no avail if- members of
the council were prejudiced against
the applicant.
However, upon suggestion of Com
missioner Bigelow, the attorney pre
eented his case, after which Commis
eioner Barbur moved the denial of
the application, the motion receiving
the second of Commissioner Bigelow
Commissioner Pier joined in voting
ror the denial of the application
while Commissioner Mann did not
vote. Mayor Baker then announced
that the application had been denied
by a majority vote and the hearing
came to an end.
Immediately following the hearing
Attorney Nelson announced that a
mandamus suit would be filed In the
circuit court in an effort to force the
issuance of a building permit by the
city.

J. Skewis and S. 3. Bullis have pur

company on the Portland' Eugene

erations at once under the' name of
the Southern Oregon Lumber com

000,000 feet of lumber a year, accord
ing to statements of the proprietors.
The announcement has aroused
great interest in Medford, as it be
lieved the mill would not be operated
unless the Pacific & Eastern railroad
were soon to resume operations, for
the only source of timber supply will
be over this line.
With the brisk demand for lumber
throughout southern Oregon, the large
timber districts surrounding Medford,
it is felt certain that 1920 will see the
Pacific & Eastern in operation again
and more lumber mills operating In

Cardinal Again Accuses the "Centrals" of Being the Primary Cause of
Acute Distress in Which the Population of Belgium Was Placed.

1918, edited by Professor Fer

zentralen. In many ways the Baron
von Falkenhausen was a more ruth
less administrator than Von Bissing.
The last German governor of Belgium
carried out many plans which his pre
decessors had merely considered.
Throughout the autumn of 1917 food
supplies available for the Belgian
people in Belgium steadily decreased.
One-fourth of the populace subsisted
entirely upon what they received from
the surviving machinery of the Amer
ican relief commission.
The Belgians were allowed what
was left of their scanty crops after
the Germans had taken what they
wanted. In the cities meat and butter
rose to J1.60 a pound and flour to
$1.10 a pound.
The almost uneatable bread con
sisted of a large percentage of chaff
and dirt. Draft animals were requi
sitioned by the Germans for leather.
Even horses were replaced by wheel
barrows painted black, while the
mourners trundled the coffins
through the streets.
In September an order was Issued
compelling the Belgians to declare to
the authorities within eight days all
quantities of woolen goods such as
raw wool, mattresses, clothing, etc,
owned by every family.
An average of 30 persons monthly
were shot by Von Falkenhausen's
order. Notices were posted in Brus
sels prescribing that all men of 17
years and over must submit to the
control of a German commanding offi
cer. Parents and directors .of edu
cational establishments were held re
sponsible for the enforcement of this
order.
The governor-general was unwill
ing to answer the cardinal's letter of
November 24 on the pretext that he
would not discuss with him anything
eictpi religious matters, it was Baron
von der Lancken who took upon him
self to plead the cause of the "cen
trals" and to justify the manner in
which foodstuffs and particularly
agricultural products were being dis
tributed by the occupying power.
The cause was a bad one; conse
quently the pleading was weak. I
stead of acknowledging the responsi-
Dinty or tne -centrals," Lancken de
clared that the fault lay in the rich 1
Belgians, who; were profiteering. i

The cardinal in a letter addressed
to Baron von der Lancken and In
which he complain of several vexa
tious measures taken by the occupy
ing' power again accuses tha "cen
trals" of being the primary cause of
the acute distress In which the popu
ulation was plunged.
Archbishop's House, Mallnes,
December 11, 1917.
To Baron von der Lancken, Chief of
the Political Department of the
Government-General, Brussels:
Dear Baron I am fflad to accept
your kind offer to transmit a scaled
letter to the head Catholic chaplain,
Mgr. Joppen.
It is true, then, that In spite of all
the promises made to his holiness and
to us, thexean Jules Herman will not
recover his liberty. The case is one
of the numerous ' applications of a
process Inadmissible in justice. When
the tribunal sentences a prisoner to
a definite penalty and the penalty is
paid, the prisoner has a right to his
liberty. But now. without a new trial,
by an arbitrary decision he is kept In
exile. Among: the numerous victims
of this procedure I may mention the
mayor of Malines, M. Charles Dessain;
the dean of Orp-le-Grand, f. Herman,
and my secretary. Canon Loncln.
I know that people are trying; to be
disagreeable to roe, but is this a rea
son for condoning an injustice?
The same ungracious intention
toward myself again manifests itself
in the letter written in the name of
the government-general to his-excel-lency
the Nuncio, regarding the clos
ing of the Ursuline convent at Ma
lines. This letter speaks of the "spirit
of rebellion" against the laws of the
country, of "breaches, which being
committed at Mallnes Itself . . . ."
This Is erroneously identifying with
a "rebellion" a passive resistance dic
tated by motives of conscience; and
with the "laws of the country" meas
ures fabricated tor no other purpose
than to overturn them.
Furthermore, supposing the train
ing colleges had broken the laws of
the country, it does not follow that it
was permissible to shut the Catholic
secondary school and the Catholic
primary school, which, though under
the same roof as the training college
had nothing In comraqn with It. The
closing of these two schools is a se
vere blow to the freedom of educa
tion. I still hope that the line of ac
tion taken against these innocent
nuns will not be 'continued with.
As regards the "Centrals," it is not
possible for you to feel the weakness
of your pleading.
No doubt I have reminded email
farmers of the obligations, charity
and common fairness imposed upon
them because I hold that we must tell
the truth even to our friends, but you
will notice that I immediately sub
joined: "I am fully aware that the
primary responsibility tor the crisis
doea not rest with the small farmers."
In a document intended for public
reading in the churches, I could not
be more precise than this, but you are
too circumspect not to see that I did
not even mention the word "Central."
Do not place any additional burden
on the shoulders of the small farmers.
You have already weighed down and
drained them by the fines you have
inflietcTl. "The Central" Is but an
octopus whose spreading tentacles
unceasingly absorb the vital resources
of the country. Leave the permanent
deputations and the national com
mittee to preside over the distribution
of food and coal and then the people
will be nourished and warmed and
you will no longer Incur the reproach
of having favored Germany and en
gaged In commerce with the neutral
countries to our Getrtment.
Please receive the assurance of our
sincere esteem.
(Signed.) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
Archbishop of Malines.
