The completed bridge ought to be open for traffic in the Spring or Summer of Northwest Firms Successful. iiihnnsrh the American Bridge Com pany was successful in getting the ma jor portion of the . actual steel work, fully 70 per cent of the entire bridge will be built by local and Northwestern concerns. , Much of the actual work of the American Bridge Company also will be done on the ground. 1 ne company, under the name of the United States Steel Products Company, maintains its Northwestern offices in Portland and h extensive yards and .warehouses here. Its local officers now are con riderlng plans for erecting a plant at Vancouver. Wash., for the purpose of fabricating all the uteel required for the new bridge. The Northwest Steel Company of Tortland will secure the contract for the steel on the superstructure over the Oregon plough. Involving an expendi ture of nearly $90;000. This company recently completed a plant on the west Lank of the Willamette in South Port land and will do all its fabricating there. . Porter BrM. Get Tut Contracts. Forter Bros., of Portland. will erect the steel superstructures over both the main channel and the Oregon slough. They secured two separate contracts for this work aggregating an expenditure of $118,415. The Pacific Bridge Company's con tracts for the substructural work calls for $439,174. The Tacoma Dredging Company, of Taeoma. will receive $158,214 for con structing the embankments on the Ore con' side and the Warren Construction ."ompany. of Portland, will be paid $83,802 for paving the floor on the steel structure across both the main channel and the slough. A big delegation of Portland business men was before the bridge commission yesterday when the engineers made their reports and urged that home con- cerns - be given preference in the awards. David M. Dunne, representing the Manufacturers' Association: George Baker, ' of the Commercial Club, and others asked for consideration of the home manufacturers. Arthur Lang guth advised rejecting all bids and re advertising for new bids so that might be possible to take advantage of the 5 p,er cent preferential law recently passed by the legislature. When E. E. Howard and John L. Har rington, the consulting1 engineers, read their letter of recommendations, to crether with the list of Tjids for all parts of the work, they showed that th bid of the American Bridge Compan was only $80 lower than that of the Northwest Steel Company on the steel for the main channel span. "If there is a difference of only $80 in these two bids." said Governor Withyeombe, "I certainly favor giving it to the home concern. I would not let $80 stand in the way of allowing a con tract of this kind to be taken away from an Oregon industry. I certainly favor home Industries and am here to represent the home producer." Governor Minn 'Applause. The Governor was interrupted with applause but held up his hand warn incrlv. I am not speaking for political ei feet." he cautioned. "If we have the legal and the moral right to give this contract to the home concern we ought to do so." Commissioner Holman, presiding, promptly put the question of accepting the engineers recommenaations to vote. Every member of the Board voted aye." but the Governor made the ex ceptlon that he preferred having the contract for the main channel steel go to the Portland firm Instead of to the Eastern concern. Various persons in the room asked the Board why they had proceeded to Ignore the requests of the assembled business men and award the steel con tract to the American Bridge company. Common honesty, that s why. an swered Commissioner Holman sharply. "We advertised for these bids and It was well understood mat tne lowest bidder would get the Job. These peo ple bid In good faith, and If they are the lowest they are entitled to the con tract I don't care if the difference is $80 or if it is only $1. County' Reputation at Stake. "The credit and reputation of Mult nomah County and of Clarke County are at stake. We may want to adver tise for bids for other work. If we play unfair to these contractors by taking the work away from them when they are low we will have a hard time get ting them to bid again. We will have to pay dear for our future work. 'If we are to take advantage of the new law giving the home firms a 5 per cent preferential we should advertise that fact in plain type when we invite these other people to bid. Other persons called attention to the fact that by combining the bids on the main span and on the slough span the Northwest Steel Company would be about $300 lower than the American Bridge Company. Mr. Harrington explained that it would be manifestly unfair for the Commission to "Jockey" the bids in this way. Bids were invited on 12 separ ate parts of the work, he said, for the precise purpose of allowing a wider competition. Had the Commission asked for bids on the whole bridge in its en. tirety only three or four firms in the United States would have been able to enter Into competition. As a result, he said, the bridge would have cost prob ably $150,000 more. Home Labor Wanted. Before the meeting adjourned Ben Osburn. representing the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers' Union, asked the Commission to take some steps that will require the contractors to employ men living in Portland in performing tne work. The Pearson Bridge Company of Seattle had bid $118,821.40 for the sub structural work on the slough span, but asked yesterday morning to have their offer withdrawn. Their bid was nearly $1000 lower than that of the Pa- cifio Bridge Company, of Portland, which was next lowest and which finally received the award of the con tract for this work. Immediately after the successful bid ders were announced they were be sieged by railroad freight solicitors, who want to- secure the routing for the steel and other material coming across the Continent. It Is understood that nearly all the bids were based on rates through the Panama Canal, but the carriers expect a reduction in the transcontinental rail rate co that they can compete effectively with the Canal. As soon as the successful bidders file satisfactory bonds for the per formance of their work formal con tracts will be entered into. Each firm must give a bond for the face value of its contract.

MENEFEE PROVIDES BAIL Charges Include Misrepresentation of Financial Affairs and Assets of Corporation, Also Sales of Personal- Stock. Charging conspiracy to violate the postal fraud statute, section-37 of the Federal penal code, former officers and stock salesmen of the United States Cashier Company were indicted yester day by the Federal grand Jury. Frank Menefee, of Portland, president and general manager of the concern, vol untarily surrendered himself to the United States Marshal and was re leased upon $2500 bail. Others indict ed, who are expected to arra'nge bail at once, are: F. M. LeMonn, sales man ager; O. E. Gernert, B. F. Bonnewell, H. M. Todd, Joseph Hunter, O. L. Hop son and P. E. Muraine, stock sales men, and Oscar A. Campbell and Thom as Bilyeu, directors. President Menefee Is a well-known Fortland resident, having come here a few years ago from The Dalles, where he was District Attorney, -to become the head of the company, which was organized to manufacture various coin- handling machines. Oscar Campbell was formerly a well-known business man of Eugene, while Thomas Bilyeu, a pat ent attorney of Hillsboro; Is credited with having invented tne macnines. $1,000,000 Fraud Charged. It is charged against the men in volved by the indistment that they made false and fraudulent representa tions as to the assets and liabilities of the company; that the concern was never solvent, and that patents on the machines to be manufactured were never held by the company, as repre sented to stock purchasers. That these a.llei?ei facts resulted in a million-dol lar swindle. In tnat purcnasers oi me stock hold paper costing over $1,000, 000 which is said to be virtually worth- Ipftn is stated. It Is set forth in the, Indictment tnat the company was incorporated for $1,- 200,000 and that all the capital stocn was sold. Fraud is alleged in that the defend ants are said to have represented that they held patents to five machines to be manufactured by the United States Cashier Company, being the change- computing machine, the bank-cashier machine, the lightning cnange-maKer, the currency-paying machine and a new style adding machine. It Is charged that those maiciea made statements to the effect that the assets of the company were in excess of its liabilities and that the company was in receipt of large bona fide or ders for the purchase of its product, both of which are said to have been false. Misrepresentation Is Alleged. The indictment also alleges that a large part of the stock was offered for sale under the representations that the proceeds were to be used tor tne pur pose of building a factory, when the stock was that privately owned by pro moters of the company. It is charged that for the purpose of leading tne niihlic to believe the stock irt the con cern was of great commercial value, the price was gradually raised from the par value of $11 to $12.50. from that figure to $15. from $15 to $20 and from $20 to $30, and that advances in the price of stock -were advertised in order to induce the public to purchase. it ia - alleged that the aeienaants published statements of the financial condition of the company that were false. It is said that the patents as serted to be owned, by the company, which were listed as assets worth $500,. 000. were not so owned and that in the statements mentioned, liabilities exceeding- $500,000 were omitted. Stock Widely Sold. The act upon which the indictment is based consists of 16 letters issued by the company and set out in the indict ment, it being alleged these letters were written and mailed by the de fendants. It is charged that the United States Cashier Company offered for sale its stock in the states or ure eon. Washington California, Idaho, Montana. Wyoming. Utah, Texas. Iowa, North Dakota, Michigan, Illinois, Colo rado and Wyoming. The company upon which tne reaerai Government has turned its prosecution was organized in September, ism, and for tje next few years a big stock- selling campaign was carried on. A two-story concrete plant was erected at Kenton, where experiments ducted. Manufacturing on a large scale, however, was not attempted. The company was sold in January, 1914, to an Indiana concern, which is now operating a plant at Terre Haute. Under the provisions of this sale, the United States Cashier Company was to receive $750,000 in stock in the buying corporation for its patents and assets and was to receive later $150,000 addi tional in stock. During its career in this city, the United States Cashier Company con ducted the time-honored stock selling game along the approved lines. Hand some offices were maintained and ex penditures were on a lavish scale. Salesmen, it is said, received a commis sion of 20 per cent for disposing of tht stock, while large salaries were paid to officers of the company. -The Govern ment investigation began in July, 1914. OSTEOPATHS FACE ATTACK Movement Started to Revoke Li censes of 161 in Pennsylvania. HARKISBURG. Pa.. Feb. 21. A movement hass tarted a few days ago, by the presentation of petitions in the office of the Attorney-General, to re voice the licenses of 161 osteopathic physicians practicing in various parts of the state, including that of Dr. O. J. Snyder, president of the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners. The petitions affect a large portion of the members of the osteopaths in Pennsylvania. Leon A.

Mrs. Rebecca Griffith. Mrs. Rebecca Griffith, an Ore gon pioneer, died at the home of her sons, near Crawford, in Clarke County, Washington, on Friday. Mrs. Griffith was born in Cooper County, Mississippi, on October 16, 1837. . She came to Oregon in 1843 and resided for a time in Marion and for a num ber of years in Douglas County. Mrs. Griffith resided in Port land for about 25 years. About three years ago she removed to a farm in Clarke County. Mrs. Griffith leaves three sons: Samuel Jasper Hall, Walter War ren Hall and Charles J. Griffith, all residing at Crawford, Clarke County. Washington. The funer al will be held at Holman's chapel at 1 o'clock today. - nice asking that a writ of mandamus be sought from Dauphin County Court which would require the State Board to revoke the licenses. The reason given in the petition is that the physicians are graduates of and -hold diplomas from and degrees conferred by the Philadelphia college and Infirmary of Osteopathy, which institution, the petitioner avers, has never had the right to conduct such a college to grant diplomas and con fer degrees, and that therefore these physicians were never legally licensed, as applicants for license are required by law to have a diploma from a legal ly incorporated college before they can be licensed to practice in this state." The petition relating to Dr. O. J. Snyder, president of the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners, is based on the ground that the Northern Institute of Osteopathy, or Minneapolis, irum which the doctor ts alleged to nave e-rnduated in 1909, and "which it is also alleged has long since ceased to exist," was not a legally incorporated college within the meaning of the law.
