CftPTI CALVERT'S STORY POL1CI5 PLACE LIITLK CUKDliXCB IX HIS TALE OF HOLD-UP. PROBING GAS EVILS Council Will Spare No Effort in Investigation. PURPOSE OF ITS INQUffiY Co Say That hc .llRKtrr of El Prhncro Wan Beaten by the nrothem of n Youbjj Woinnn. Captain W. T. Calvert, of the OaJ fornia steam yacht El Priraero. roport ed to the police last night that two highwaymen threatened to shoot him and throw his body into the IVillamotte If he refused to throw up his hands and submit to beinj? robbed. The police place little credence In the truth of the report of Captain Calvert anu pro nounce his tale a. rank "fake." Captain Calvert entered the station at 6:40 o'clock last nlffht with his face bleeding from scratches. He Informed the police tiiat he had attempted to scream and that one of the highway men had violently placed his hand over his mouth to prevent an outcry; that one of the highwaymen, while the other kept hinj covered with a revolver, took $25.10 from his pockets and commanded him to move on. He gave accurate de scriptions of the two men and detec tives were sent out by Captain Slovcr to look for the highwaymen. On investigation the detectives de clare that Calvert was thrashed by two brothers of a young woman to whom the captain was paying attention. Po licemen Price Interrupted a fight be tween two men, who answer descrip tions given by Calvert. In South Port land at 10:30 o'clock last night. Price was informed that the man set upon was the mate of tne yacht El Prlmoro. and that Calvert was one of the men present while the light was In prog ress. When the detoctivos arrived at the place the two men. who are thought to be brothers of the young woman, made their escape through a Uiilor ahop barring the door against the de tectives. The holdup story Is said to have been reported by Calvert for the purpose of having the brothers of th girl arrested to get them out or the way. The holdup story theory has ben dropped by the police department, ami no further investigation will be made. Little Doubt That a Franchise Will Be Granted for a Competing Corporation to Serve Cit izens or Portland:- Gas evils will be probed by the special committee of the Council without delay, nor will any stone be left unturned In searching out the graft methods of the Portland Gas Company. The committee will hold Its flrst meet ing next Thursday evening, probably pre sided over by John Annand. president of the Council. Complaints of citizens will then be heard, and such steps will be taken as will lead the committee to the core of the matter. That the Council will grant a new gas franchise to one of the two applicants, either the one represented by Thomas McCusker or the other by B. S. Pague, there Is little doubt, "provided one of them can give satisfactory evidence of good faltb, nor Is there any doubt that the joint committee to whom the two appli cations were referred the committee on streets and on Judiciary and elections will recommend granting one of them, if the joint committee shall be satisfied that one of them means business. The Joint committee will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. What the Charter Says. As to granting of franchises, section 97 of the charter provides that "before any grant of any franchise or right to use any highway, avenue, street, lane or alley or other public property, cither on, above or belowJhe surface of the same shall be made, the proposed specific grant shall be embodied in the form of an ordi nance, with all the- terms and conditions, including all provisions as to rates, fares and eharces. If anv. which nronoscd ordi nance shall be published In full at the expense of the applicant for the fran chise, at least twice In the city official newspaper. Such publication shall take place and be completed not less than 30 nor more than &) days before the final .passage of such ordinance and such or dinance shall require for Its passage the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the members of the Council, as shown by the 'yeas' and 'nays.' and the ap proval of the Mayor before It shall be valid for any purpose; but In case the Mayor should veto any such ordinance it can only be passed over sucn veto oy a four-fifths vote of all the members of said Council. In which case the same shall be valid without the Mayor's approval from and after such passage. No amendment to any franchise after publication shall hi vj1u unless the- ordinance as amended .shall be republished In like manner and for like lime as me original. Method of Procedure. t,i nrwoorilnirfl nf this character the Council shall receive from the Executive Board an estimate of tne casn vaiuc ot ranohlsns nr HI1 tVRtllllAtfl Of What thC body may consider fair compensation to the city based upon a percentage oi me r-ns f.n-rin" from the use of such fran chise, but the Council is not bound there by, the acts of the Executive uoara in this respect being merely of an advisory character. The findings of the Civil Service Investi gating committee, as well as the report of the ways and means committee relative to the municipal appropriations for the ensuing year, will be presented at an ad journed meeting of the Council next Wednesday nlghL They will likely en gross a great deal of attention, and tend to prevent conclusive consideration of any other subject until they arc disposed of. WILL ABOLISH POSTOFFICE Boring Will Take the Place of Orient for Rural Dcliverv. GRESHAM. Or.. Jan. 20. (SpeciaL) Orient Postofflee. situated six miles east of this place, will probably be discontinued within the next six months. It Is one of the old-time postoftices of Eastern Mult nomah Countv and has a rural rnntn hul constant change In conditions will soon cause the removal of the postofflee. An Inspector of the Postofflee Dopartment was mere last ween. looKing into the mat ter, and made up his mind to recommend its discontinuance, and the transfer of the rural route to Boring, an office on the o. w. P. Railway line. The saving to the department will come through the cutting off of the Orient Postmaster's pcrcentago of cancellation and the reduction In cost of the star route to Sandy. The star route now starts from Orient, but Boring Is six miles nearer to Sandy, and the con tract price will be reduced In proportion. As for the patrons of tho Orient rural route, they can nearly all be served from Boring. The remainder can all be served by carrier No. 2 from Gresham. The car rier's time from Boring will also be short ened because or the earlier arrival of the malls by the railway, and he will be able to leavo the office over an hour earlier than at present. Cold-Storage Plant for Gresham. GRESHAM. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) The Groshain Trading & Packing Com pany has begun work on a cold-storase plant which will cost between 530M and $6000. The company Intends to engage In an extensive packing business, and will opcrately largely In dressed meats of all kinds and the storage of all perishable products. It Is the Intention of the com pany to conduct a business aggregating about $400,000 during the coming year, and it will be prepared for- hot weather when Uiat season arrives. Base for Sacajawcn Statue. The sandstone base, upon which the bronze statue of Sacajawoa Is to stand, has crrlved. and the work of installation will soon be commenced. The piece of rock weighs about 12 tons, and is the product of the Columbia quarry, located on the Washington side, near Vancouver. The statue of the Indian woman will be set up at a point about 50 feet east of the owlhouse. In the City Park, on the site of the small fountain originally stand ing there. Francis D. Tcgart Dies. GRESHAM, Or., Jan. 20, (Special.) Francis D. Tegart. a popular young man, died at his home on the Sandy road Thurs day, after an 'illness of tow weeks. His ailment was pneumonia, which he con tracted while driving to Portland, in an open wagon. His funeral will take place Sunday at 11 o'clock, from his late home. Gambling Closed at Victoria.
