Defense Has Not Lost
All Hope
Important Questions of Law That
' Are Involved and Have Been
Passed Upon la theCase.
Although' Judges Seara has 'rendered
decUIon In the famoua Marquam prop
erty caee, overruling the demurrer of de
fendonta and giving Judge Marquam an
other chance to redeem hla property, the
caae la not yet ended. The defendants,
the Title Guarantee c Trust Company, J.
T. Ross- and others, have taken 30 days
In which to file an answer, and there Is
prospect of. much litigation yet before
Marquam la granted that for which he
prays.
Attorney Wallace McCamant. repre
senting the defendants in the suit. Is au
thority for the statement that the re
cent decision was not wholly In opposi
tion .to the stand taken by hla clients.
To a reporter for TheJournal, Mr. "Mc
Camant said:' V
TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
"TheiV were two Important legal ques
tions Involved In the demurrer, which
waa presented by defendants and over
ruled bjrtu court. . These questions
were:
"First, can a trustee, holding property
for the benefit of another, bid and buy
at a foreclosure gale under a prior mort-
. gager
'.'Second, did the previous adjudication
against. Marquam, In the foreclosure suit.
bar hie right to complain of -alleged mls
.eonduct on the part of the trustee, prior
to the decree rendered i the foreclosure
suit? ,
"After citing and quoting a large num
ber of authorities, Judge Sears decided
' both' of these questions In thb affirmative
and in accordance with the contention of
the defendants. H stated, . however,
that of oil the cases -Which he bad ex
amined on - the first of these questions,
ho had found none In which the case had
been determined on demurrer. He said
that courts of equity regarded transac
tlons between trustee and their prin
cipals with watchful care, And that ha
would, therefore, call upon , the Title
Guarantee Sc Trust Company to answer
and permit an examination to be made
Into the questions raised by the com
plaint 4 lie was satisfied, and so stated,
that the bulk of the chafes in the com
plaint aa to the misconduct of the trus
tee, charged no illegal acta, and that
Buch negllgenee es was alleged In tho
complaint, was concluded as against
plaintiff by the previous adjudication,
except so far as these charge related
- to matters which took "place after tho
decree In tha former suit .
STILL TIME TO ACT. i
"The defendants toojc Jo days in which
to answer."- .----
MrV McCamant saya he appreciates the
Interest and great pains taken in the
case by- judge Seam, and that he be
lieves the search made by his honor to
throw light on the subject was most thor
ough. While he feels that the defense
sustained a loss in the overruling of Its
demurrer.' he does not feel that the case
baa of necessity been loBt or gained by
progress thus far made.
MOFFITT STILL' HELD.

charge of embeeclement of moneys from

It was expected that the flaw found in

SEEKING HER BROTHER.
(Journal Special Service.)
gALEM, Jan. ZI-Gov. Chamberlain haa
received a letter from Mrs.(- Albert John
son, Westfield avenue, Lorraine,, N. J.,
asking fdr Information, concerning her
brother. Charles A- May, whom she haa
not heard from for several' years. Unless
he can be found, the property left by his
father la in danger of being lost. He
formerly resided In Portland, where he
was engaged in the business f , sign
palatine.
UTAH REQUESTED
TO GIVE MORE
Special Commissioner Mclsaac Says
' $10,000 Is Too Little.
The following clipping from Tho-SaW-i
Lake Tribune of Jenuary IT, shows the
kind of JfOTk that Special Commissioner
Mclaaae of the Lewis and Clark Fair is
'dolnir In Utah:
"Utah has an assessed valuation of
tia0,000, with SO,000 taxpayers, and If
each of these- paid X cents a year for
two years, it would be Ho.ooo. which
would not be too much. In fact, I think
that $50,000 should be appropriated by
the Utah Legislature for this purpose.
Five hundred thousand dollars haa been
raised In tho City of Portland alone, and
a bill has passed its second reading In
the Oregon Legislature and been- refer
red to the committee on appropriations,
giving $r.OC,000 more. '
"Utah Is a state of magnificent propor
tions, and these possibilities should be
brought to tho attention of the great
number of Eastern people whom we ex
pect will visit the- Kit position. The Ex
position, will aim to attract people and
wealth to aid in the development of la
tent or growing industries In the West.
There are hosts of people in the East
who arc anxious to come West, and if
they can but be convinced of the mar
velous possibilities of the region tra
versed by Lewis and Clark and the ter
ritory immediately surrounding, will flock
to tho West in mighty numbers. . . .
In showing the possibilities of com
merce with the Orient through the West
ern gates of America, the Exposition will
bring lasting benefits."

the. fol'lowins: '
Mayor Williams sent In his veto of
ordinance No. 13,14. The Mayor's mes
sage, reads: "I herewith retura to the
Council ordinance No. 13,141, entitled
"All ordinance to forfeit and , declare of
no Validity such franchises and priV'
lieges granted by the City of Portland
and the former cities of Alblna and East
Portland as are not In actual' use or en'
joymbnt or which the grantees thereof
have not in good faith commenced to ex
erclse," for the reason that section 108
of the new charter, which is now in ef
feet, ..makes all - necessary 'provisions
upon this subject, and further provides
that the1 grantees of such franchises aa
have not heretofore been In use,, may1
have six months la which to commence
the exercise of such franchises. This"
ordinance is in conflict with this pro
vision of the charter, which I consider
reasonable and just and that said sec
tluti 108 should bo the law to. contra

the jailor.
