superintendent Mlerh reported last
rilxhi tl'at a stretch of land nearly a
mile long has been grubbed and cleared
for the new boulevard. Tha men. he
sa'd. worked even harder than expected
and the amount of clearing accom
plished Is said to ba remarkable.
Tie scene at the temporary paying
station waa interesting. The men. rep
resenting practically every class of
skilled and unskilled labor, stood In
line, wet from te rain In wMc.-i they
worked nearly all day. and their shoes
were covered with mud. As they were
paid they were discharged.
War Reaaasea Tstraday.
Work on tha roadway will be re
sumed Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
At that time only the married men and
those alia relatives depending upon
them for support will be engaged. Tha
list of slnn men will be suspended. In
tiie list of workmen paid la't night lit
were men with families and III were
single. The married men received pay
at tie rate of I! a dar and the others
It. 3 a day. Only a few had two full

mrt ho stood In line at tha t'ltr Hall
late Friday morning and malted for
cards entitling them to employment.
Mayor Rushlight visited the scene of
th work yesterday and expressed sur
prise at tiie amount accomplished.
The men seem to be willing and
anxious to work hard for the small
wages they receive." said tha Mayor.
-When I reached the new roadway the
men were strung out for about a mile."
Application Still Xmsaereaa.
A'.l day jssterrtsr Mayor Rushlight's
office was visited by men seeking em
ployment. Tiiey were all Informed that
no men could ba engaged until Tues
day. Tha married men were all In
formed that they would be employed
at tne office of Superintendent Mlsche
In the City Hail Tuesday morning.
Work will be started at I P. M.
From the list of men who received
pay it is apparent that many who ap
plied for work at the City Hall dd not
report at tha roadway. Employment
tags for 473 men were distributed "rt
dav and only 314 men reported for
work.
After tomorrow many kinds of work
will be begun. Including water-trenca
extensions and sewer extensions. Many
private lines of work will als ba
started within the next tw weeks. It
la tha general opinion that tha $10.
soo appropriated by tha :tty and tha
amount appropriated by the county to
rare for men of families will be ample
to carry the unemployed over until ttt
Spring rush begins.

BREWERS NOT TOLD
Portland Men Dubious on Pro
posed Big Combine.
FORMER ATTEMPT FAILED
I'oseiblo Kffort I P.cln6 Made to
Merge Breweries In California. Is
Belief of Arnold I. Ulltx. Vlce
Presltlrnl of Portland I'irm.
Portland brewers disclaim knowledge
of the report from San Francisco that
a combination of Pacific Coast brew
eries, extending from Seattle to lxs
Angeles, by tastern capitalists and
financed with English and German
money. Is contemplated. T!:ey declare
the subject lias not been broached to
them and are Inclined to question the
authenticity of the report to tha extent
that a foastwlde merger of these enter,
prisea is proposed.
An attempt was made a few years
ago to form such a combination of the
breweries operating In San Francisco
but It proved unsucceasf ul and was
abandoned. Portland brewers are of
the opinion that the proposed merger
announced from San Francisco, if such
a combination Is actually under con
sideration, contemplates a consolida
tion of the breweries in California.
They base this conclusion on the fact
largely that to date no overtures of
any kind have been made to Interest
beer manufacturers of this city.
"I know nothing whatever about the
proposed combination of breweries as
reported from San Francisco." said
Paul Wessinger. of the Welnhard
Brewery, yesterday. "Nobody has sug
gested it to me. neither have I had any
correspondence on the subject."
"It la possible an effort la being
made to merge the breweries In the
State of California." said Arnold I.
Bills, vice-president of the Portland
Brew'lng Company, "but I have not
beard the allghtest Intimation that the
proposed combination would Include
the plants operating In Oregon and
Washington. Nona of the other brew
ers in this city has received any word
directly or Indirectly of the purposes
of the gentlemen who are said to be
behind the project. Such a combination
waa attempted a few years ago by the
breweries of San Francisco but It did
not prove a success. I am satisfied
there is nothing !n the rumor so far as
It applies to the brewers of this city.
"The report from San Francisco Is all
news to me." testified A. C. Daschel.
treaaurer of the Northern Brewery
Company, which owns the Star Brew
ery, "and I do not beileve there is any
foundation for tha report to the extent
that the proposed merger Includes the
breweries of Oregon and Washington.
It is more than probable that the scope
of the territory to be included In the
combination has been allghtly misrep
resented. Certain It Is that nobody
here knows anylhlr.s concerning Its de
tails. The subject has not been broached
In any form to the Portland brewers.
Neither haa any representative of the
proposed combination consulted In per
son or bv letter with any of the brew,
ers of this city. For these reasons there,
must be some mistake."

GODDARD MAY LOSE VOTE
Cameron Sas Judge Erred In Saying
Sentence Door. n't Forfeit Rights.
Plstrlct Attorney Cameron said yes
terday morning that. In his opinion.
Judge Campbell, of Oregon City, erred
when he told J. B. Goddard. who waa
sentenced to serve from three to 10
years In the penitentiary and paroled,
that his rights of cltlsenshlp had not
been forfeited. In support of his con
tention Judge Cameron refers to sec
tion ISSO ef the Oregon code, which
reads as follows:
"A Judgment of Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for any term less than
life suspends all the civil rights of the
ptrson so sentenced, and forfaits all
public offices and all private trusts,
authority or power during the term or
duration of such Imprisonment."
"Vou will notice that the word "Judgment-
Is used." said the Plstrlct Attor
nty. "and I believe actual incarceration
Ih not necessary to forfeit the rights
of rltlxensblp. This Is the only way
that clauso can be construed."
Goddsrd. ex-clergyman.' po!tlclan
and real estate dealer, was convicted of
a statutory crime against a plrl under
the age of consent. After he had been
sentenced and paroled he asked the
Judge specifically if any of hla rights
bad been forfeited and waa answered
In the negative. Goddard wanted to
know particularly if he would be de
barred from criticising "bad officials"
and "bad laws."
Reports have been circulated that
Goddard was preparing to launch Into
a campaign of denunciation against
the District Attorney's office. Judge
Gatens and others who had to do with
hla conviction.
REPORTED DEMAND DENIED
3. C. Beck Say Seventh-Street Club
' Sot Dictating: Car Routing.
J. C Beck, president of the Seventh
Street Improvement Association, yes
terday denied that the organization
had demanded, as reported, that all
cars crossing Broadway bridge from
the East Side continue south on Sev
enth street to Jefferson.
"This statement is attributed to J. B.
TVerleln, of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, In an address
at a meeting of the Civic Council." said
Mr. Beck, "but we make no such de
mand and believe that Mr. Werlein
must have been misunderstood.
"What we do demand Is that the
company build a double track on Sev
enth street as far south as Jefferson,
and operate cars in both directions
thereon. We do not presume to dictate
to the company the routing of Its cars.
Such a line as we demand will give
proper service to the numerous hotels
and theaters on the street. The state
ment attributed to Mr. Werlein has
created the Impression that our de
mands are holding up the franchise,
and we wish to correct this Impression.
The franchise is at present In tl e
hands of the street committee of the
City Council, which has not seen fit to
recommend Its passasre to the Council
for reasons which are apparent in the
franchise Itself and to which I would
respectfully refer the public A copy
of the franchise is In the City Auditor's
office In the City Hall."

BROADER LAW IS URGED
INSPECTION OF MEATS IN CITY
DECLAHED NECESSARY.
Dr. Cnliln S. White Says Two Ef
flclcnt Veterlnarles Would Bo
Enough for Portland.
Tr. Calvin S. White yesterday reiter
ated and made even more forceful a de
mand that the City of Portland enact
a ma'ket Inspection ordinance that will
provide for Inspection of meats and
edibles Instead of one that tackles
"merely asparagus and the dirt In
syss-hettl."
-tor the same money that we are
raying- Mrs. Kvans and Joe Slna-er we
could hava two efficient vsterlnarlss.
who would be able thoroughly to over
see the meat arrivals of the city." he
said.
It cannot be denied that neither
Mrs Evans nor Singer are doing- the
work they should. I do not suppose
thev have the knowledge necessary.
"What is really irgent for Portland
to know is that the food-supply is
sometimes contaminated. With proper
inspection this would not be the case.
'Let me Illustrate what I mean: A
few weeks ago I was In Salem, where
I discussed with a Chinaman the state
of his herd of hegs. which had been
stricken with hog cholera.
- 'Going to sell these round here.
John.' I queried.
- -Not dare.' he replied. Me ship
allee Portland. No cares there.-
Now. had we had the market in
spection for which we are paying. John
would not have been able to vnload his
contaminated hogs on Portland butcn-
e"ln my remarks yesterday regarding
Mrs. Evans, there was meant no per
sonal Insult, but merely the charge
that in the offices of market and addi
tional market inspector, respectively
occupied by Mrs. Evans and Singer,
there was not performed the inspec
tion we have a right to demand.
"I want to see the City Council pass
this ordinance unanimously. The lead
ing butchers of the city are all in favor
and most of the small men. It is to
tiieir interest to support the measure."
Dr. White mentioned that while hog
cholera cannot be wholly eradicated
by cookinp. the danger from a herd of
tuberculous cows was principally that
the chickens and hogs with which they
were raised would become diseased.
