BIG BOND ISSUE FLOATED North Bank Road Formally Files Large Mortgage. One of the largest mortgages ever recorded at the Multnomah County Courthouse was filed with the County Clerk's office yesterday afternoon by the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail way Company. It was to secure a bond Issue, the amount of which was Indefi nitely stated as being? not to exceed $100,000,000. The mortgage is in favor of the Central' Trust Company, of New York, and applies to all rolling-stock, equipment, lines and property of the company, including the branch from Lyle to Goldendale and the uncom pleted line between Spokane, ' Kenne wick and Vancouver. No particular significance is at tached to the filing of the mortgage for recording, as that Is merely a for mal requirement- Copies of the mort gage will be filed with seven different counties of this state and Washington. The filing fee was $17. the largest fee of that kind exacted in months. Court Dismisses Sawmill Suit. Suit of V. E. Gilbert, against H. G. Colton to have a sawmill contract re formed, was denied by Circuit Judge O'Day yesterday. Both parties to the suit hinted fraud. Gilbert said he en tered into a contract with Colton to operate a sawmill at Middleton, Or., on a percentage basis. By the terms of the contract, he said he was to pay employes of the mill the first month's salary and that Colton was to take up that burden thereafter. By crossing out a section of the contract, Gilbert avers that Colton threw the paying of workmen entirely on his shoulders. Colton replied that the section of the contract in question was crossed out with Gilbert's full knowledge and that Gilbert was trying to saddle claims of workmen for wages on him. The court ordered that the plaintiff's complaint be dismissed, thus1 ending the suit. MONTAVILLA ROSE i-n- inftiiii iff ftt"" ' - N I.I.OIRF. DE BIJOX CLIMBER AT HOMK OF DR. E.

DRAFTS COTTEL ORDINANCE "Regular" Organization Says He Is in Habit or Attempting to Injure It by Such Measures and Says It iow . Has . Proof. Accused of having been the author of the now notorious ordinance introduced at la3t week's meeting of the City Coun cil by Councilman Cotter and known as "An ordinance regulating fortune-telling, palmistry and cognate practises in the City of Portland," Harrison D. Barrett, a spiritualist lecturer and the alleged self-assumed pastor of the First Spiritual ist Society of this city, is in immediate danger of being -ousted from the ranks of the society in this state. If the charges as -made yesterday by Sophia B. Seip, president of the Oregon State Spiritualist's Association, are true, Barrett is not pastor of the First Spiritual ist Society, as he says, and has merely assumed his position on the strength of the fact that he once held the presidency of the National Spiritualists' Association of America. Furthermore the state presi dent charges that while claiming to be a spiritualist, Barrett has done much to dis rupt and antagonize the association. Prohibit Barrett From Preaching. . From the present attitude of those In charge at the state headquarters of the association in the Allsky building, there is but little doubt but that a meeting of the board will be called in the immediate future to frame a resolution asking the National Association to prohibit Barrett from appearing as a spiritualist or from preaching the spiritualist belief. It is alleged by Mrs. Seip that Barrett in practically every city he has visited as a spiritualist lecturer has attempted to disrupt the organization by Introducing, without knowledge of others, so she says, ordinances similar .to the one which Dr. Cottel a week ago Wednesday afternoon offered to his collegues in the City Coun cil for passage. Until Barrett was pointed out Friday at the meeting of the street and health committee of the Council by Dr. Cottel, as the man who presented hiin with the ordinance, fully drawn up, no authentic proof of the lecturer s methods, said Mrs. Seip, had ever come officially to the knowledge of the association of its officers. Says Dr. Cottel Kx poses Him. Although suspected, accord! ng to the state president, of employing ''under hand methods against the interests of the association, it remained for Dr. Cot tel fully to expose him by proclaiming him to be the man from whom the ordi nance came. Following Barrett's visits to various cities. East and West, ac cording to Mrs. Seip. ordinances exceed ingly similar in legal technicalities and phrasing to the Portland ordinance have been presented to the city legislative bodies for adoption. While the state president admits she is not assured that Barrett drafted the ordinance, the fact that such an ordinance was presented by him is enough to cause his expulsion from the National organization if the proper steps are taken. Whether or not proper steps will be taken is as yet un decided. Giving as Barrett's motive for wishing to wipe out mediums, clairvoyants, fortune-tellers,, second-sight artists, etc.. Mrs. Seip says the lecturer is actuated by purely personal and selfish motives. "Professor Barrett's meetings are lightly attended," says the state president; "be cause he does not demonstrate, he only preaches."

For rates and special information for hotels, communities, etc., address SUNSET MAGAZINE, WELLS-FARGO BUILDING, PORTLAND, OREGON against Barrett, there Is no little talk going on as to what will be done. Mrs. Seip said yesterday: "Barrett has been supported by spir itualist believers and mediums for 14 I Jears. His very bread and butter has come from the mouth of the people he has been injuring. Yet he is so little that he will do everything he can to injure us and stop - our means of liveli hood. "He has gone from city to city trying to wreck the organization by doing all in his power to have mediums suppressed, when they are in reality the mainspring and mainstay of the belief. To rob spir itualism -of mediums would shatter the entire organization. Spiritualism, accord ing to the doctrines It sets forth, must have mediums, yet here is this man do ing everything possible to discredit these doctrines which he so heartily indorses and advocates when he Is lecturing for his fee of $15. Not Pastor of Portland Society. "If Barrett is pastor of Ihe First Spir itualist Society of this city, the Oregon State Board of Spiritualists ts yet to be officially Informed of it. He is merely a lecturer on spiritualism, advocating its doctrines before his audience while try ing to crush the association when their backs are turned. If Barrett had an or dinance which he wanted presented it was his business to take the matter up with the Oregon State Spiritualists' As sociation, as he has no authority to pre sent any such measure 'on behalf of the society by himself. "We want quacks suppressed. They should be. They have no right to de ceive the public and give honest' persons and societies a black eye.

At John Slater's spiritualist meeting, which will be held tonight in Women of Woodcraft Hall. Taylor and Tenth streets, plans will undoubtedly be formed and a programme arranged for taking action in the immediate future against Barrett and his ordinance. Mr. Slater is a spiritualist of the medium class and is well known throughout the country. The issue has so shaped 'itself that he will undoubtedly be expected to lead the faction against Barrett. Just how far the faction prepared to go at the meet ing tonight is not known, but it is be lieved the outcome will mean Barrett's retirement from the spiritualist lecture field. i HIGH JINKS BY THE ELKS Merry Widower" Social to Be Hold Thursday Night.
