LOCATION IS AT ISSUE Council Will Be Asked to Order Change and Have Structure Built at East Mill' and Clay. A Van Hoomissen, who has been ad vocating the erection of a bridge across the . Willamette river at East Mill and ... vs-nnt streets, in second ana uj - th r,.v an interview yesterday, said that the City Council will be asked PM " ' " , .. .i .icnnnn hnnd Issue 1 lion repealing uic rebuilding the Madison bridge.

Recently he had plans drawn by J. B. C. Lockwood for a bridge on Haw thorne avenue and Jefferson redrawn to tvin wot inn at East Mill and Clay streets, showing an average height of fifty-five feet above hign water mum under all. the spans. These plans show a level bridge from the East Side to the nr..

He also undertakes to show that the streetcars can reacn tne tasi niae approach on a low grade either from Hawthorne avenue or from the south. Bridge and Boats. Mr. Van Hoomissen contends that the lunction of Hawthorne avenue and Madi son street is not the place for the bridge for the reason, he says, that it cannot be built high enough to allow ordinary river boats to pass under it. He declares the property-owners on Hawthorne ave nue will not consent to allow a nign ap nroach to be carried back to Union avenue above the . Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. tracks. He estimates the cost of the high bridge on East Mill at above $800,000, but thinks it may cost more. The petitions for this high bridge are all ready for filing as soon as the $450,000 appropriation for the Madison bridge is- repealed. This plan of Mr. VanHoomissen Is opposed by a great many persons. It is considered doubtful If V the City Council will consent to submit the question of repealing the $450,000 for Madison bridge to a vote. Those op posed to changing the location of Madieon bridge admit the new location is good because it is higher, but say it Is not the better location for the reason it lands on a short street on the East Side which ends practically at East Twelfth. Hawthorne avenue, they say, is a wide public highway connecting with all the county roads and one of the finest streets on the East Side. M. G Griffin said: "I have no personal interest In this matter, but it seems to me that the changing of the location of the Madi son bridge to Mr. VanHoomissen's lo cation will merely result In deprecia tion of a lot of property and build up property on the new location. Mr. Van Hoommissen contends he has only the public interest in view, yet he owns property on East Mill street and Union avenue. He accuses others who want this bridge rebuilt on Hawthorne avenue with being actuated by personal motives, but he himself is the only disinterested man. Expense Serious Question. "But granting everything he con tends for the new location, there comes in the. question of cost. The people voted $450,000 in bonds to rebuild Madison bridge. " The location, of course, cannot be changed and this money used. What then must be done? The bond issue must be repeajed and another bond issue for more than double this amount submitted to a vote for a bridge at this new location. The plans he submitted, he said, will cost approximately $800,000, but he said nothing about damages to property, which will be very large. To build at the new location will cost not under $1,000,008 and perhaps $1,250,000. Will the people of Portland be persuaded to repeal the $450,000 and vote a $1,000, 000 or more for the nw, location? I think not. The bonds voted at the election in 1906 totals $5,000,000. If the question of repealing the $450,000 and issuing $1,000,000 Instead, the peo ple might repeal the $450,000, but they will not now vote for a $1,000,000 bond Issue for a bridge at the new location, and then we would have no bridge at all." Discussion Tuesday Night. The question will again come up next Tuesday night at the United East Side Push Clubs, when the special committee, O. E. Heintz. Frank J. Perkins and I E. Rice, will report on what sort of bridge can be built on Hawthorne ave nue and Madison bridge for $450,000. This committee is now consulting engineers and examining plans in the hands of the City Engineer,' prepared by J. B. C. Lockwood.-' It is desired to ascertain if a bridge can be built at least 25 feet higher than the present Madison bridge, and then by running the East Side ap proach up to Union avenue get above all the car tracks. The Brooklyn Republican and Improve ment Club, which has indorsed the new location on ' East Mill and Clay streets, will hold a special meeting next Thurs day night, August 27, to consider ' the plans as submitted by Mr. Van Hoomis sen. Invitations have been issued to the Sellwood, Kenilworth and Sunnyside Clubs, which have indorsed this new location, and also the South Portland Club. If the Sellwood Board of Trade, the Kenilworth, Sunnyside and Brooklyn Clubs join their forces to repeal the $450. 000 bond issue and undertake to build a tl.000.000 bridge at East Mill and Clay streets, there will be a warm contest. Himself Misfit. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 19. When Elmer Dover re signed from the office of secretary to the Republican National Committee, it was announced from various sources that the resignation was entirely voiunutrj. To a certain extent that was true, but the fact is that Dover, after a long confer ence with Chairman Hitchcock, clearly understood that he was not the man de sired In that position, so, being a gentle man and a shrewd politician, he with drew, to take a place "substantially as good." Dover's ability was never ques tioned by the Taft managers, nor was his good faith doubted. But Dover, who was long private secretary to the late Senator Hanna, played politics differently from Hitchcock et al., and in the brief months of the campaign it was Kit he could hardly be expected to master the' Hitch cock system. Moreover, Dover was always Identi fied with that faction of the Republi can party now known as the antl-Taft crowd, and for that reason, as well. It was deemed expedient to have a new Secretary. Had he remained as Secre tary, It is not doubted that Dover would have besn as loyal as the man selected to succeed him, but there would not have been that same cordi ality and ready co-operation that will be found to exist between Chairman Hitchcock and Secretary Hayward. Hayward, moreover, enjoyed a dis tinct advantage over Dover in that he is thoroughly schooled in Hitchcock's card-index system of campaigning, and is in close touch with conditions in the Middle West, where the brunt of the battle will be fought. Dover was mor-i familiar with the East than the Middle West, and his acquaintaintance among eastern republicans will make him a valuable aid to the Treasurer, who is to gather the wherewithal to conduct the big fight. T SIX OTHERS SVSPEXDED OXE YEAR WITHOUT PAY. Secretary Wrights Recommendation as to West Pointers Approved by President. WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Announce ment was made today by Secretary of War Wright that his recommenda tion for the punishment of eight West Point cadets suspended from the mili tary academy for hazing, had been ap proved by President Roosevelt. The order to. be Issued by Secretary Wright, based upon the President's approval, will dismiss from the acad emy the two first-class men under sus pension, William T. Rossell, Jr., a son of Colonel W. T. Rossell. of the engi neer corps of the army, and Harry G. Weaver, of Illinois; and the suspension without pay and allowances for one vear of six members of the third class, George Washington Chase, of New York, James A. Gillespie, of Pennsyl vania, Byron Quimby Jones, of New York, William Nalle, of Virginia, Wil liam Wellington Brude, of Alabama, and Isaac Spalding, of Oklahoma, Last Wednesday evening after Sec retary Wright had had a long confer ence with Colonel Scott, superintendent of the military academy, the secretary sent to President Roosevelt his report for the disposition of the West Point cadet case. The President's approval of the recommendation was received by Secretary Wright today. In the con ference held at Sagamore Hill, partici pated in by the President, Secretary Wright and Colonel Scott, it was sug gested that all of the eight cadets be suspended from the academy for. one year" without pay or allowances. That was regarded as adequate punishment for the offenses against the law and regulations committed by the cadets. Superintendent Scott, however, Insisted that the maintenance of discipline at the academy required even more drastic punishment that would be contained in an order of suspension. He pointed out that the first class men were con fessedly the ringleaders in the hazing, and that being older than the other men, and in a sense responsible for the practices which had grown up at the academy, ought to be dealt with more severely than the others. He felt,' In fact, that if drastic action were not taken by the authorities in this case, his influence as superintendent of the academy would be weakened ma terially. With this view, the President and Secretary Wright finally agreed. An interesting fact was developed by the inquiry into the case. That was that Colonel Scott, the superintendent of the academy, was suspended from West Point when he was a cadet. He was found guilty by a board of hazing and was set back one year without pay or allowances. JAPS BUILD H SHIPS WILL- HAVE LARGE FLEET OF v AUXILIARY CRUISERS.

WIRES MUST BE REPAIRED Increase Made in Charges Affected Four Hundred I the Princi pal Buildings in City of Portland. Frank Blaker, local surveyor of th Board of Underwriters, yesterday an nounced that the directors of the Pacific; Board of Fire Underwriters at a recent meeting in San Francisco decided to re store old Insurance rates in Portland as soon as the electric wiring complained against had been corrected. The changes desired by the insurance companies in the wiring of business property here will he completed In about two weeks, when the increase of 25 per cent In the pre mium charges on this class of risks will be removed. Charging that a majority of the build ings in the business district of the city are supplied with defective electric wir ing, the insurance companies about two months ago announced, an arbitrary ad vance of 25 cents on every $100 of insur ance on all such risks. The insurance magnates objected to the service then furnished by the electric light company, contending that whre the same machine "was used for generating electricity for motor end trolley purposes the danger of fire was increased. Immediately following the announce ment of a higher rate of Insurance, Pres ident Benage S Josselyn. of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, proceeded to have his company's service adjusted to meet the objections of tho Insurance companies. The Increased rates applied to about 4W of the prin cipal buildings In Portland. "The alleged defective wiring to which the insurance representatives objected and on which they bused the 25 per cent increase," said President Jossclyn last night, "has been corrected in all of the buildings on the West Side, and it will not require more than another two weeks to complete the necessary changes across the river,. In adjusting the service, our company' has spent over $!'XW0. We have done this in the interest of insuring for property-owners the best possible rate of insurance that can be had. and not in any sense that w-i considered the change a matter cither of necessity or respon sibility on our part."
