A Van Hoomissen, who has been ad

the . Willamette river at East Mill and

an interview yesterday, said that the City

measures for the bridge at East Mill and
-,... ir tho r-ttv Council will con-
sent to pass such a resolution it will not
be necessary, says air. van nuviua., -
circulate a petition.
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

streets. 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bridge is- repealed.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.

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.

OLD RATES TO RULE
Underwriters Will Restore
Former Insurance Schedule.
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."
