STRUGGLE NEAR AT HAND Advocates of Broadway Span Do Not Wish to Have It Complicated With Issuea Relating to Other Public Projects. The advocates of the Broadway bridge are nerving themselves for a great fight against-the powerful allied inter ests which are antagonistic to the im provement. In his address Friday night before the North East Side Improve ment Association, M. G. Munly declared that a vast sum of money had been accumulated by certain property-owners in Portland to fight the construc tion of the bridge at every point, to delay and hamper it, and defeat it if possible. Judge Munly said that he had been made defendant in a suit in connection with the sale of uie first block of bonds and an advertisement inserted in the Daily Abstract by John Klernan to discredit the sale of these bonds. "This is the policy of the opponents of the Broadway bridge," said Mr. Munly, "and you may expect that every man connected with this proposed bridge will be haled into court In some form or other, the purpose being to wear out its advocates and delay the proceedings for its erection. It is un fortunate; it is a burning shame for Portland that such a situation prevails here, where a great and heeded im provement, projected and voted for the people, can be held up and delayed by a lot of men actuated by mercenary purposes. But I have reason to believe that the people will prevail in the end against this combination that has been formed by a certain lot of property owners. "A vast sum of money, so I have been told, has been gathered which is to be used to defeat the construction of the Broadway bridge, and it behooves the friends of the measure to prepare to meet the opposition. We shall have to increase our subscriptions to the fund we have raised to defray expenses of litigation. We have every assurance that Mayor Simon is with us. While we were somewhat disappointed that parts of Adams and Oregon streets were vacated without securing concessions for the Broadway bridge, yet the Mayor has informed us that no more concessions will be given .unless the Broadway bridge is considered, and that the vacation of these streets is not important and was needed for the erec tion of the upper deck of the railroad bridge to expedite its erection, as the steel bridge is really in a dangerous condition." The resolutions opposing further con cessions for the railroad bridge and appointing a committee to take up the question of bridg right of way were then passed. Mr. Munly said he understood that the Terminal Company was now occu pying streets on the West Side not vacated, which would be the basis of negotiations for rights of way for the Broadway bridge West Side approach. "Councilman Menefee said that the concessions which had been given the O. R- & N. Company for its East Side pier were not as important as some people tried to make it appear, but that the company was asking for more rights in connection with the railroad bridge of far more importance. Mr. Menefee defended his vote for the va cation of Oregon and Adams streets. He declared that under no circumstances should the Broadway bridge be com plicated with the demands made by the East Side Business Men's Club, how ever proper those demands might be, as such, complications might result seriously for the construction of tl)e Broadway bridge, and advised that the association keep clear of these demands made by the East Portland club. Mr, Menefee said that General Manager J'. P. O'Brien had expressly declared that he would never consent to a common user clause that would permit another line to run the O. R. & N. Company's terminals, and this was one of the main demands of the East Side Business Men's' Club.

Prices J J to suit all purses way bridge and the railroad bridge to be adjusted without any reference whatever to the vacation of the streets south of the proposed steel bridge and we should so Insist." It was the sentiment of the associa tion that the Mayor and Council are friends of the Broadway bridge and will do everything in their power to expe dite its construction. COTTVCIIi AND MAYOR. UPHELD Brooklyn Club Indorses Street Vaca tions for Bridge Piers. At the regular meeting of the Brooklyn Improvement Club, held last week, the subject of street improve ments was discussed at length. In Brooklyn there are now many street improvements, which are being has tened as much as possible. Milwaukie street will be paved this Summer with Hassam from Hawthorne to Holgate, and East Ninth street from Cora to Rhone. Considerable progress is being made in this district In the laying of sewers. Father Gregory, a member of the association, spoke against the agita tion of the East Side Business Men's Club in decrying the action of the Mayor and City Council in granting the street vacations for sufficient ground, for the building of piers for the new bridge. He said: "To invoke the referendum in such trivial affairs and to refuse to allow the City Council any judgment in such matters looks mighty small and be tokens the minds of agitators. The new brfdge is a benefit for the public and the few feet of ground is no loss to the city. A little neighborly feel ing and not so much clamor would ac complish more.'' The encroachment of the O. W. P., upon East Eighth street was criticised and Father Gregory introduced a. res olution to check the company. The sand and gravel combine was also discussed. HATHAWAY HEIRS FIGHT FOUR WOMEN TO CONTEST DO NATION CLAIM; INTEREST. liCg-al Action Involves 289 Acres, Now in Possession of Property. Plaintiffs Ask $20,000. As heirs of the Hathaway estate in Jackson County, Sallie Bliger, Marie Kahler, Laura Fitch and Rose Hughes, residing in the State of Washington, yesterday began suit in the United States Court for the recovery of a one-sixth Interest each in Hathaway Donation Claim No. 92. The complaint alleges that the prop erty, consisting of 289 acres, is now in the possession of Jeremiah Nunan and O. Harbaugh. It is set out that the defendants have been In possession of the land for more than five years, that it is valuable, and that each of the women heirs have been injured to the extent of $5000. The land was acquired from- the Government under an act passed by Congress in the early days of the "Oregon country." For the promotion of settlement, a married couple were allowed to acquire title to 640 acres through three years' residence. The entries were known as donation claims. The country was not at that time surveyed and claims were taken up in irregular tracts marked with monu ments. That fact has been the cause of many complications of title which the legal fraternity has been called upon to untangle in the past few years. Original settlement in the Willamette Valley was through the donation claim act. WEMME MtST FACE COXTR'x Capitalist to Be Summoned Monday on Contempt Charge. E. Henry Wemme, good roads enthu siast, owner of the first automobile ever brought to Portland, and the first purchaser of an airship here, will be called before the United.

Mr. Wemme was summoned as one of 805 talesmen from whom a jury was secured to try Blnger Hermann. When the prospective jurors were allowed to present excuses which might exempt them from duty, Mr. Wemme told Judge Wolverton he had important business at Los Angeles the aviation meet was to be held in a few days. He was not excused. After the 12 jurors were selected for the Hermann trial the remainder of the talesmen were excused until later in the term, when they would be needed for determining other cases on the docket.. Judge Bean succeeded Judge Wolverton, and when the name of Mr. Wemme was called with no re sponse a bench warrant was issued. It was ascertained that Mr. Wemme had gone to Hot Springs, Ark., for his health and overlooked the formality of advising the court. The aviator ha3, however, mailed a doctor's certificate to Marshal Reed. Mr. Wemme returned to the city Fri day, but Marshal Reed was not aware of his presence in the city until yes terday.
