market
Compromise Thought to Indi
cate Purchase by Sulivan
& Considine.
TWO CONCERNS AT PEACE
frewnth and Yamhill Corner Litlga-
lion Settled Out of Court Both
Warring Concerns Now Of
, ' fer Property for Sate.
:l
'' Litigation that threatened to keep
off the market for Indefinite year the
quarter block at the northwest corner
'ot Seventh and Yamhill atreeta. It la
announced, has been amicably aettled
out of court, and now both the Fred A.
Jacob Company and the Inside In-
fvestment Company are offering th
; (property for sale.
I These were the two warring Inter
' '! that clashed over the ale of thla
I lot about five months ago. The In
: side Investment Company Is composed
i of W. W. Wells, presl.lent: J. H. Laber.
' Secretary and treasurer: Walter H.
: Moore and B. F. Allen, all of Port
j land, and C. B. Cartwrlght. of Seaside.
The real estate firm of Walker at
J Tleed negotiated a deal whereby the
. lot was to be sold to the Fred 'A.
I Jacob. Company, for I200.00B.
' . Dissension In the ranks of the in-
vestment company arose as soon as tha
' proposed sale was reported. This grew
i presently Into dimensions that final
j ly required the courtroom to hold them.
! Certain of the members of the In
. vestment company alleged that J. B.
Laber. who gave to Walker ac Reed a
i contract for the aale. had no authority
for this act. The real estate men ex
hibited thia contract, signed "J. B. La-
. ber. Secretary and Treasurer." and as
. serted this was authority enough to
warrant them making the sale to the
" Fred A. Jacobs Company. I'pon the
'authority of Mr. Laber to order this
sale, the suit was based.
, Compromise In Readied.
' Walter H. Moore went to Walker
; Reed recently and asked If they would
'.stand In the way of an agreement.
should one be reached between the
litigants. The real estate men said no.
.Mr. Moore Inquired whether they would
.be willing to help if their aid were
needed In bringing about a settlement.
to which the real estate men were
t agreeable.
.) Charles B. Shanks, of the Fred A.
: Jacobs Company, yesterday announced
that the troubles were over, saying a
'baste of compromise had been found
that was mutually acceptable. He fur
ther said that the property would go
'. on the market at once, and would be
' sold by either company. The price at
: which It Is held Is said to be ISJ5.00U.
Sow the most Interesting part of the
' peace pact brought about Is in connec
' tlon with a well-defined rumor that
exists that the property ha been sold
already and that before long announce
ment will be made of the purchase of
-this lot by Sullivan Considine for a
theater site.
When the new building code goe
inta effect on January 1. Sullivan ac
'onsldlne will have to vacate the
(irand theater, on Washington street at
the corner of Park, and will have to
get Into a fireproof building. It ha
been known for some time that this
company was In search of a alte for
. Its own building and after Mr. Lincoln,
a representative of the firm, had been
here a few months ago. the remark
' was attributed to him that a site south
of Washington was the only thing that
would appeal to him.
' Conclusion Is Drawn.
Through source supposed to be well-
Informed. It Is hinted that this seventh
and Yamhill, of all sites available. I
' ine one that Sullivan c Considine want.
Hence, the logical conclusion Is drawn
' that the theatrical firm has quietly
' bought this property and that the two
concerns that were fighting for Its
possession have been drawn together
In bonds of peace by this purchase.
' When the Fred A. Jacob Company
first thought It had bought the lot. It
; waa announced that Mr. Jacoba desired
i'to put up a building there, and plans
were drawn, even, for a structure, on
hh condition that ownership could be
.obtained. Mr. Jeob Is now In New
York, from where he will sail for
Europe soon, and hi Intention re
garding a building are unknown.
An effort was made to get light.
' from Frank Cofflnberry. manager of
' the Grand, on the rumored 8ulllvan
' Considine purchase of the lot. Mr.
'ofnnbrry was vigorous In his atate
. Tnent. that so far as he knew person
ally, the property had not been bought.
JOY RIDERS CAUSE WOE
Police Promise Relief to Harried
Residents of M. Tabor Slope.
Twenty-seven Irate freeholders on the
west slope of Mount Tabor will take
drastic action against drunken Joy-riders
If the police do not succeed In giving
, the harried neighborhood relief from the
rowdyism of nocturnal visitor who make
Fast Stark street the thoroughfare of
their orgies.
A petition ws presented to Acting
Chief of Police Moore yesterday setting
T"rth the grievance and praying for re
lief. It Is said that the disturbers pass
at all hours of the night, singing and
" yelling, and that they habitually violate
! speed regulations. They climb the
Mil wt:b the muffler off and make a
racket that is a foe to sleep. The peti
tioners say that they will give every
possible support to the police In a fight
: against the evil, and that If relief is not
g-ven they will take the Issue Into their
own hands, and deal severely with the
'intruder.

Judge Bennett held that one man

as was launched yesterday In the office
of J. H. Haak. In the Lumbermen build
ing. The meeting wa largely attended
and was enthusiastic, foreshadowing suc
cess. A previous effort to sell the bonds by
popular subscription had resulted in total
subscriptions of J110.000. leaving a balance
of $140,000. To secure pledges for these.
E. Henry Wemme. Dr. Andrew C. Smith,

Bond Issue for $2,000,000.
One of the most significant statement
was made by R- E. Menefee. Councilman
from the Ninth Ward, who has been the
chief mover in all official action on- be
half of the high bridge project. He de
clared that his Investigations have been
such that he Is warranted In saying that
the big span complete will not exceed
$1.0no.00. although the entire bond issue
Is for fCOOC.OHO.
The canvas for subscriptions is now
to be made almost exclusively among mich
business and professional men and- women

directly by the completion of the bridge.
Those In charge of the campaign believe
they will be able to secure pledges for the
remaining $HO.OflO before the end of the

titude regarding the big project.

to solicit subscriptions from other prop
erty owners will themselves subscribe to
set the proper example The members
of the committee will commence their
active work tomorrow morning and will
continue until they have secured the nec
essary amount of subscriptions.

the meeting. Is the nrst new span to be
built across the Willamette River by the
city for 14 years. Sixteen years ago

The first block of $260,000 bonds for the
construction of the bridge will be of
fered for sale one week from tomorrow
at t P. M. by the ways and means com
mittee of the City Council. It 1 now
believed by those who are working on
the project that the bonds will be dis
posed of this time, and they then expect
the city administration to proceed with
the actual construction work.
Litigation, started by opponents of the
project. I till unsettled, but It is be
lieved by the active worker for the
bridge that the people of Portland will
stand by them and subscribe for all of
the bonds next week. Among the larger
subscribers heretofore secured are the

IRELAND HEARS CRY AFAR

"VOTES FOR WOMEN" STRIKES
EMERALD ISLE FOLK.
Ware of Suffragist Agitation at Last
Has Reached Dublin, Where Fair
Sex Is Known and Feared.
DUBLIN. Aug. 10. (Special.-) At last
the wave of suffragist agitation has
reached - the Emerald Isle. The cry of
"Vote for Women" has been taken up
by Irish suffragettes.
"Not that this Is any new thing,
really," aays Mr. Sheehy-Skefflngton,
one of the founders of the Irish Wo
men' Franchlee League, "for there have
been suffragettes m Ireland for years.
It Is only their recent adoption of mili
tant methods that has roused people to
their presence."
In Dublin they are already known and
feared. They have abandoned the old
fashioned principles of moral suasion and
have coerced a shivering but sufficient
majority of the Nationalist party to up
hold their cause. Recently a deputation

of them visited John Redmond in Lon
don. Headed by Mrs. Sheehy-Skefflngton
and Miss K. M. Shannon, a graduate of
the University of Dublin, they demanded
that he give his support to the suffrage
bill. But the question is one on which
the Irish leader could not promise full
party support. "The men of Ireland
need waking up," aaya Mrs. Sheehy
Skefflngton. Clearly the men of Ireland
have something in store for them.
At the latest suffrage demonstration in
London, the Irish marchers were the fea
ture of the International contingent. Far
down the line of the procession you could
hear the sound of Irish music. A band
of Irish pipers played away a if for
dear life. Behind them marched the
Irish suffragettes, resplendent in bright
green and flaunting the harp of Erin on
many a streaming banner. The Irish
Fusilleers could not have marched better.
One of the 40 platforms at the Hyde
Park meeting following was an Irish
platform, and here a sympathetic and
patriotic crowd listened to the speakers.
Prolonged cheers greeted Mra. Sheehy
Skeffington's announcement that mili
tant tactics came out in Ireland In the
nrst place In the days of Parnell.
"How can our men expect us to light
for Ireland," she demanded, "with our
hands Ued behind our backs?"
Many women traveled from the ex
treme west of Ireland to attend this dem
onstration. Among them were many
graduates of Dublin University, teachers.
