TO SETTLE ON PLAN Hayor Williams Calls Meeting in His Office for Friday - Afternoon. " - ' . Mayor Williams has called the members t the Common Council, the Board ot Public Works and street railway officials io meet in his office Friday afternoon at i o'clock ' to have an Informal heart to beart talk, on street railway franchises. The Mayor ia out of the city and could not be seen this morning, but It ia known that he ia strongly In favor of a blanket . franchise, as advocated by The Journal, iand.lt is -supposed that the meeting is .called for the purpose of seeing If the various Interests cannot be got together. A majority of the 'members of the Coun cil are n favor of a blanket franchise, 'it Is believed that the street railways will surrender Ihelr present franchises and , accept a blanket franchise if too great's burden is not placed upon them. ' NEW CHARTER PROVIDES. i In discussing the matter this morning a dty official said:. "I do not see why the companies will not accept a blannit franchise. It will come in time anyway, . ia the new charter, which is certain to be adopted, provides for it. If the blan- set franchise should be adopted it would ; settle the question for the next 26 yean. In my. opinion the city will not be un 1 reasonable . in its demands, but on the "tontrsjTiwttrrWrt"na to be liberal ef the companies would corns in now." i The proposition directly at issue is the franchise of the Portland Railway Com S pany. . The . new blanket franchise, a "skeleton of .which Ja been prepared and wUl be submitted at the meeting Friday . afternoon, provides that the company j surrenders all of its present franchises - and to receive in consideration therefor 4 blanket franchise for 25 years. In consideration for this blanket franchise the company shall pay the city an annual tax either on Its mileage, gross earnings sr a flat sum. 1 Some of the franchises held by the tompany will expire in a few years, and alt of them within the next 25 years. The meeting will' be held behind closed loors, .that .there mar be a- free AJscus- lion of the subject. .

Schiller and Nye. by The slot machlnea are once more gaily distributing cigars to their customers and the plunk of the nickel as It drops Into the maw of the machine is heard In the land. To put the reason briefly the cigar deal ers put the devices back on their counters because Edward Schilling, of 281 Wash ington street, and Jeff B. Nye, of 83H Third street, were arrested yesterday for operating slot machines und cseaped salhbSH. True a, cane of the people of the slate of Oregon against Edward art JefT for violation of the statute, Is still pending but then tue ways of the law are proverbially tedious and the Lewis and Clark Fair may have passed into liistory long before Edward Schilling, Jeff B. Nye, or any of -their heirs are culled upon to pay a penalty to offended justice. The machines were seised yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Adklns on warrants sworn out by Constable W. E. Jackson, of Jus tice Reid's court. On advice from the District Attorney's office the confiscated property was later returned to the clgor dealers, and now elands on their coun ters.

TtlPhm Main 253, THREE-KINDS OF OPINIONS The Hatter of an Extra Session Calls Forth Diversified Comment. Opinion on the advisability of calling a pedal SeMloe of th legislature while generally rerjr favorable, is spiced with an occasional strong dissenting vot. Among the Impressions obtained by The Journal today are the following, which have been selected as being typical of their respective classes: COUNCILMAN A. F, FLEGELr "I am heartily -in favor of an extra session of the Legislature, for the purpose of get ting the new charter adopted, making lhe appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair, and fulfilling the pre-election pledges in favor of fiat salaries. CITY AUDITOR DEVLIN: ' '"" 'the' calling of a special session will secure the enactment of the Portland city charter and make the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair, without In volving it In the entanglement of other Interests, I am disposed to think that a special session would be Ju.tinVd." PHIL METSCHAN, president of the Imperial Hotel Company: "1 think the idea la ridiculous. There is no necessity for it. It will cost the state $30,000 and acomplish nothing, except an unneces sary saving of sixty day's time. More than that, it Is very liable to defeat one of the very objects for which it will be called the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fan, The oountry Legisla tors, already dubious as to the amount of the appropriation and more or less op posed to this city asking the country dis tricts to financially aid the Exposition, will protest vigorously against this ad ditional expense of an extra session. They may get in a' belligerant mood about the matter, and turn the whole thing down." NEWS OF AND FOR MARINERS The Goings and Comings of Those Who Plow, the Mighty Deep.
