ing to Motorcycle Patrolman Bert.
When he appeared in court the man
admitted that he did not know the
speed limit on Terwilliger boulevard.
The testimony also indicated that he
was looking around and paying little
attention to where he was going at
the time of "his arrest.
R. Denly, driver of a milk wagon,
who was also arrested on the Ter
williger boulevard on a charge of
speeding, was fined $25. Denly is
said to have passed three touring
cars previous to his arrest by Motor

Judge Deich told the driver that he
had no business on the boulevard with
a truck and that he took that into
consideration in assessing the fine.

MEETING TO PENDLETON.
The contract for constructing two
concrete retaining walls on Mont
gomery drive was awarded yesterday
by the Multnomah county commis
sioners to the lowest bidder, M. V.
Lorenz, for $9,733.75. The walls must
be built before the paving, which has
been awarded the United Contract
company for $14,200, can be started.
Commissioner Muck livened up the
meeting- by stating that he was going
to refuse to vote for both the-paving
ar.d retaining wall contracts.
"What is the matter with these con
tracts?" he was asked by Commis
sioner Holman.
Wall Ilulldlnsr Opposed.
T am opposed to building concrete
walls on that road within the city
limits, when persons out through the
country have asked for such walls
and haven't received them," answered
Mr. Muck. "If we are gSing to build
walls, we should do it in other places
where they have been asked for."
Mr. Muck said that for two or three
years persons living along the St.
Helens road had asked for retaining
' walls and their requests had not been
granted.
The wall on Montgomery drive will

In voting for the paving contract,
Mr. Holman said that he wished to

contract only because he did not wish
o see the work delayed, but that he
Was still opposed to the form of con
tract which does not include payment
of liquidated damages to the county
if the work is not completed at the
stipulated time.
Paving: Plant Planned.
"We are letting this work at the
contractors' own price, said Mr. Hoi
man. "This is because we have no
competition. We must have competi
tion, and I have begun preparations
looking toward including in next
year's budget money for establishing
a paving plant of our own, so that
the county can pave its own roads."
The work of paving Montgomery
drive from Sixteenth street to Vista
avenue will begin when the retaining
walls are in place, probably early in
October. The commissioners are eager
to get this work done before the win
ter season.

W. W. Banks, state senator for
Multnomah. Clackamas and Colum
bia counties, has withdrawn as a
candidate for president of the senate
for the 1921 session of the legisla
ture. Senator Banks is eliminating
himself and is supporting Roy W.
Ritner. senator for Umatilla county.
Announcement of Senator Banks
action will change the complexion
of the organization contest. Th
fight is now between Senator Ritri'jr
and B. L. Eddy, senator from Dougles
county and both have been making
an active canvass for support among
their colleagues.
Senator Banks had the support of
several senators who are now released
from their voluntary promise to him.
An intensive drive may now be started
by both Ritner and Eddy for the
presidency Inasmuch as they appear
to be the only onts left in the field.
Senator Banks thinks it wise to
end the contest as quickly as pos
sible and probably immediately after
the November election this will be
done. There are a number of can
didates for the eenate who will un
doubtedly be elected, yet they feel
that they have no right to presume
that they already possess a vote in
the senate and for this reason they
will not commit themselves to Ritner,
Eddy or any other person until they
have their certificate of election.
Senator Banks' Statement.
In withdrawing. Senator Banks
issued the following- statement of his
reasons, which, by the way, does not
show that he was ever an activo
candidate, although his name was
freely mentioned:

SPEEDING GETS $25 FINE
l)rier TclU Judge He Did Xol
Know Legal Limit.
Mike leCicco, who told the judge
he was driving for an afternoon paper,
was fiired $25 on a charge of speed
ing yesterday by acting Municipal
Judge Deich as the result of his arrest
on the Terwilliger boulevard.
DcCicco was driving 33 miles an
A near riot disturbed the tran
quillity of the municipal court room
yesterday when Amos Hall, 60 -year-old
resident of a houseboat in the
vicinity o Willbridge, "threw his hat
into the ring" and threatened to en
gage i.i physical combat with Charles
Johnson, up tor trial on a charge of
assault and battery preferred by
Hall, and shook his fist under the j
noses of A. Walter Wolf, attorney
lor the defense, and some half dozen
witnesses who had incurred his ire. j
The old man threw his hat in the
middle of the floor, doubled up his
fists and paced around the municipal
court room like a caged lion. On
account of his deafness the efforts of
the bailiff and court to quiet him
were unavailing.
"If you don't keep still I'll have
the court fine you for contempt,"
Attorney Wolf finally roared in the
old man's ear.
"Hey!" came the reply. "I know the
judge; he's a friend of mine."
Judge Deich decided that Hall was
able to take care of himself without
the assistance of the court, following
the demonstration, and so discharged
if onnson.
Hal. had told the judge that John
s' r and a number of other men had
been playing pranks on him and
causing trouble at his houseboat.
A page from the municipal court
docket yesterday had to do with the
eternal triangle and involved Henry
Gardner, his divorced wife and K. L.
Stringham, and a little drama in one
act which occurred at 605 Haig street
several nights ago.
Stringham, large and husky, was
paying attention to Oardner s di
vorced wife and so the trouble arose.
Stringham told the judge that he
took the former Mrs. Gardner home
the other night. After their arrival
at the house Gardner suddenly ap
peared on the scene armed with a
stick of stove wood and chased Mrs.
Gardner's cavalier from the place. So
hasty was the gentleman's exit that
he left his hat and coat behind.
The result of the incident was that
Stringham preferred charges of as
sault and battery against Gardner,
and he was arrested by Patrolman
Finn. In the meantime Gardner had
returned his opponent's hat and coat,
and Judge Deich announced that,
since he had made that much repara
tion, he would continue the case for
sentence.
"This man has been threatening my
lite and 1 would like to know if l ean
get some protection ?" demanded
Gardner, who is about half String-
ham's size, following the decision.
"If you are able to run him off the
place the way you did the other
night, I am of the opinion you don't
need any protection," Judge Deich
told him.
Stringham then chimed in and
asked if he could not get some pro
tection. The judge told him that if
he wasn't big enough to protect him-
seir tie had no business taking on
job as cavalier to a young lady.
m
"W ere you drunk?" Judee Deich
asked of John "Whalen, a eailor, when
tne latter appeared to answer to
charges of participating in a liquor
party at 24 North Second street.
I certainly was," came back the
unexpected reply in stentorian tones.
1 ne judge rewarded his frankness
by continuing his case for sentence
and allowing him to go back to his
ship.

It was pay day Thursday for "Wego

came to town and proceeded to buy
