The poor condition of Portland's fire houses was the subject of comment in the council chamber yesterday when a request for an appropriation foi1 $9;0S193 for immediate repairs and needed appar atus was received from "the executive board. The request was referred to the committee en ways and means. .'Councilman Rumelln started the ball rolling by a statement of the condition of houses No. S and No. ft. The houses are not fit ' to shelter boas, let alone human beings." said he. "The roofs ara leaking sjstfrafford hardly any protection from tlie rain, and one of the ixlaces is alive with vermin. They, have not been painted for years ana tne floors are so rotten that it is actually dangerous for the horses and apparatus t cross then The stringers are likely , to give way at any time.' Councllmen .Zimmerman. .'and Sharkey had made informal Inspections of sev eral places and urged the appropriation.

Tha long contract which becomes ef fectlv next month is the same aa that now In force, excepting as to tha slse of the rock, and the quantity to be de llvered within a specified time. In this contract for 471,000 tons, tha classes shall be Class A, 10 to If tons, averaging 12 tons, pieces up to 17 tons being ao cepted. Class D, 1,000 pounds to 10 tons, 2 to range t to 10 tons, the average to be 4 tons, the remainder, 1,000 pounds to be I tons. Class C, to range from 20 pounds to 1,000 pounds. According to the estimate made in the preliminary investigations by tho engt neers, 2 per cent, or 118.760 tons, were to be of class A; 60 per cent, or 288,000 tons of class B; IS per cent or 71,260 tons, of class C The delivery Is to be In larger quan titles per day than under the short con tract Kaj. J-angfltt Interviewed. MaJ. Langfitt, engineer officer In charge, said this morning: "Prior to the publio agitation of this question I had Instituted inqalry Into the conditions surrounding the oontraot and Its fulfillment with the end in view of ascertaining whether or not the con tract Should be annulled, under a spec! flcatlon permitting the government to abrogate It, If deemed necessary. . have not yet made a report on that sub Ject "As to the quality of rock that Is being delivered. It Is satisfactory to the government It Is a basaltic rock such as scientific men regard as proper for Jetties. 1 have specially ordered careful Inspection of the rock as offered by the contractors, and nothing but the proper kind has been accepted, "Regarding the amount that Is being delivered, I am convinced that the con tractors will be not snore than 30 days later than the contract calls for, aa the uantlty delivered will be much larger hereafter than It has been. 'The only trouble has been In the uantlty delivered, and I am convinced that the contractors have done as well they could under the circumstances. The 80 days delay will not be Of much consequence to the commercial Inter ests, and is not In my opinion sufficient to warrant creating any disturbance. As to the sea dredge to be made from the "transport Grant, I have noth- ng to do with that It Is entirely in charge of the Mare Island officers." O. A. Anderson's Inquiry. G. A Anderson, experienced in the handling of rock, believes that tha ma terial that Is being furnished by the Northwest Construction Company to build the jetty, extension at the mouth of the Columbia, is not of a kind to en dure the action of the waves. "It Is," ssld he today, "a basaltic rock such as will shell off Into small frag ments and . cause the jetty to crumble Into a mass that will not resist the ac tion of the tremendous seas that come rushing In during the winter months, j "I spent 10 nays at the mouth of the river and watched the work of hauling the rock, and ascertained that the aver. age quantity now being supplied Is about 780 tons a day. The contract, as I un demand it, calls for an average or 1,600 tons a day during the entire life of the contract I am convinced," af firmed he, "that It will be Impossible for the contractors to furnish the amount required by that contract The Maygers quarry, from which the rock Is now being taken, will soon give out and the Bugby quarry, from which It Is proposed next to take it, will not sup ply the needed amount 'As I have learned the requirements of the contract it Is their duty to fur nish about 70 or 75 per cent of the rock In sizes not less than those that weigh several tons, the remainder being legally accepted at sizes running' much lower. "I watched the rock as It was deliv ered at the Jetty, where It Is taken by the government for placing upon the Jetty extension, and found that the av erage- size Is far below that called for by the contract In my opinion, the average will come nearer to 75 pounds. Instead of averaging eeverat tons. In other words, the contractors, aa I see It are reversing the numerals, and are supplying about 75 per cent of the smaller rocks and about 2$ per cent of the larger. Instead of 76 Per cent of thfc larger and 25 per cent ef the smaller. "My observations were conducted with Soma care and merely because I have an interest in the commerce of the city, in which I am a taxpayer." ' The investigation that is being made by the chamber of commerce navigation committee ' will be continued until the facts have been ascertained. Members of the committee will visit Astoria, soon, going to the quarries and out on the Jetty, if permission can oe secured for that privilege. It Is the intention to make close personal examination of the condition obtaining at tne jetty, to In spect the quarries, and to go.accompa- ied by some expert and scientist on rocks whose opinion would be accepted as competent on such subjects. The date of the visit has not yet been determined, but It Is thought that It will be within a few days. In sn Indefinite manner rt Is learned that the theory of the federal engineers at the jetty works Is that the proper manner in, which the Jetty should be built is to' lay first a mat of smaller rocks, and then upon It place the larger rocks, to resist the action of the seas, which in the winter time are especially heavy and strong enongn to move very large masses of rock. Hew Contract Begins Soon. It is also asserted that the contract under which the work is now being prosecuted will expire on September 30. and that then a new contract comes into force. The new contract will be by s different company, both of which are presumed to be backed by the Astoria lc Columbia River railway, and will call for rock from the Bagby quarry, the rock to be larger than those which have been required under tha. contract now in, force.

Davis, when asked If he had had crlm lnal relations with one of his patients Some time ago. Dr. Davis was on the stand nearly all of thla morning, test! fylng In the suit brought by him egalr.it his mother-ln-law, Mrs. Nlcolal, for $60, 000 damages, alleging allentatlon of his wife's affections. Questions relating to every phase of his dally life during his residence in Sumpter were asked by the defendant s attorney, O. F. Paxton. 'Do- you remember Alloa Brown T" asked Mr. Paxton. "No." responded the doctor. "Did you know any dance hall girls In BumpterT" "I did not." The young dentist denied taking his four-year-old son Into gambling houses and permitting him to playfully put up a coin on some of the games, but stated that he had allowed the boy to play slot machines, but so did Mrs. J. IL Davis, he said. Drank Oocktals With Xls Wife. The doctor said that he had drank whisky ever since he had been of age. but he never drank to excess. -During his stay In Sumpter, the doctor said he and his wife usually took a cocktail be fore dinner. While In Portland, he would take two or three drinks after finishing his work for the day. Several "Dutch lunch" parties were held at his home In Sumpter, he said. Wbsn asked about who paid the bills while there, Mr. Davis stated that they had been paid. At this. Attorney Pax ton presented a few papers, which he askad about. The doctor told him that they had been made out by persons from whom he had borrowed a little money Just before returning to Portland, and that he had written them that tin money would soon be paid. The witness denied that he had vlaltrd the White House near this city. He also said that he had not been drunk durli the visits he made In Baker City whll 1 on his way to and from Sumpter. When asked If he had visited the Quelle In this city, Dr. Davis said that he had often been there with his wife, and on soveral of these visits they had been accompanied by his mother-ln-law. "Have Qnlt Whisky Xntlrsly." Two letters written by Davis to his wife during her stay In California were read to the Jury. The epistles were ad dressed. "My Dear Lucy," and closed with the endearment, "Kisses to yoa and the baby." Davis suited that he wrote to his wife six times during her stay In California, but none of the let ters reached her. In the last letter which he wrote to his wife, Davis sald "I, am living straight Have quit whisky entirely. It was the whole cause or our trouble, x am staying nome ai nights. I love you." And still she never came back, re marked Judge Caples, when Mr, Pax ton had finished reading the letter. The defendant's attorney turned to ward Mr. Caples and ssked, "Would you want your daughter to return to such man?" The doctor said that he had told hla brother-in-law that If Lucy would come back to him he would beg her mother's pardon on bended knees, and that lie would do what his wire wished him to do. But his wife did not come back. When asked about going duck hunt ing, the doctor said that neither his wife nor mother-ln-law had objected tj this sport, and that Mrs. Nlcolsl had often accepted aa presents soma of the ducks he had shot Dr. L. M. Davis, father of the plain tiff, was called on the stand to testify regarding the physical condition of hta son after Lucy hsd left him arid gone to California. The father said his boy was In a very nervous state; that he would cry out In his sleep for his mother. While asking the witness seyernl questions. Attorney Paxton pointed his finger at the doctor: 'Don't you point your finger st me that way, Mr. Paxton," said the doctor. But within a few minutes the same finger was being pointed direct at tha doctor. "Don't you do that again," roared the witness. Dr. Davis testified yesterday after noon that he had taken a few drinks now and then; had gambled once in a while, and had been acquainted with vaudeville actresses during-his stay at NoBales, Ariz., In 1902.
