It makes this presentation of facts. The

"Do you arprove of the policy of

Williams?"
The replies oT the councllmen were as
follows:
Councilman John P. Sharkey I am
heartily In nrrord with every feature of
the mayor's policy; taje mayor has been
In office more than one year and during
that time has had ample opportunity to

dition of the city in all Its brunches, as
he gives all his time to the management
of Its affairs, and Is brought fact to face 1
with condition or every obstacle, and he
alone is the best Judge of what Is the
best policy to pursue. If the preachers
and newspapers who have assailed his
policy would pay as mucn aiirnuun iu
their own affairs as they do to those Of
the mayor's We might have better news
papers, and as for the preachers, well,
they could not be much worse.

The principal feature of the session
of the executive board this afternoon
s the acceptance of the plans and
specifications for the Morrison street
bridge and Instructions to the city audi
tor to advertise for bids. The cost of
the structure is limited to the appro
priation of $400,000, provided by the
last legislature.
At the meeting of the special commit
tee yesterday afternoon City Engineer
Elliott presented a set of drawings and
plans for the proposed bridge. The new
bridge will be feet wider than the
present one. The draw will be 60 feet
longer than the old span and will be
arranged to lie with the current when
open, at a slight angle with the spans,
allowing a better passageway for
traffic.
It has been decided to publish the
advertisements for 30 days, st the ex
piration of which time the bids will
be opened and the contract awarded.
The desire of the officials is to hasten
the work as much as possible.
The general dimensions of the new
bridge are about as follows: Length,
1,200 feet; roadway, 36 feet between
trusses; two seven-foot walks for pedes
trians; approaches to the bridge will be
the same width as the adjoining street
There are to be four spans, with the
draw span. Instead of the five used in
constructing the old bridge. The plans
provide for 107 feet of clear space on
each '.side Of the draw.
The time limit allowed for the con
struction of the bridge is one year from
date of award of bid. Streetcar traffic
is not to be Interrupted for more than
SO days.

fined 125 and costs by Justice Hlnkle
this afternoon for having cruelly
scalded a black spaniel dog belonging to
Eugene Aitken, who runs the Snowshoe
saloon three doors away.
"I scalded the dog because he barked
at the door and hung around," explained
the lethargic Mr, "Johnsoni as ' If this
absolved him from all blame.
The dog, although scalded three days

TACOHA DOES NOT
WANT PRIZE FIGHT
The Jury In the case of Multnomah
County against the Willamette & Co
lumbia River . Towing company. Pilot
Emkins, the Pacific Export Lumber com
pany and William Mltchelk former cap
tain of the towing steamer Vulcan, re
turned a verdict Mils morning In favor
of the county. The Jury was out from
11:45 a. m. yesterday until 10 a. m.
today. This morning the Jurymen were
brought into the court room that they
might ask Judge Sears certain ques
tions regarding his charge. One mem
ber, who Is said to have been holding
against the others, asked the court if
they could find Capt. Anderson of the
steamer Almond Branch guilty. He waa
promptly told that they could not do so,
Judge 8ears Saying, "You ' cant bring
In a verdict against him any more than
you can against the king of England."
The suit was for. IS.C72.82, and was
brought in order to recover the costs of
repairing the Morrison-street bridge, af
ter It had been bumped Into by the
British steamer Almond Branch, Feb
ruary 19. 1901. The steamer was in tow
of the Vulcan at the time of the acci
dent and both vessels were In charge of
Capt. Emkins. The Almond Branch
was chartered by the Pacific Export
Lumber company.
Attorney Ralph R. Duniway conducted
the case for the county, and this morn
ing's verdict Is regarded as a great vic
tory for him and for the taxpayers
of this county. He will move that the
sum which has been allowed be In
creased to three times the original cost
of the repairs. Mr. Duniway has been
kept busy this afternoon receiving the
congratulations of his friends.
The defense, which was represented by
W. M. Cake. C. E. S. Wood and J.
Couch Flanders, attempted to prove that
the cause of the accident was that the
orders given by Pilot Emkins were re
versed by commands given to the en
glneers of the Almond Branch by Capt
Anderson of that vessel.
It Is reported that the case will - be
appealed to the supreme court.
be arraigned before Monday.
An Indictment was also found against
J. C. Cogglns of Eugene, who Is ac
cused of altering three postal money
orderd and of uttering them. The In
dlctment Is returned In six counts. Cog

Clyde Lloyd was under fire before the
Unltod States grand Jury yesterday. He
was on the witness stand for the govern
ment In the hearing of charges of land
fraud and conspirary against Horace
McKlnley, Marie Ware and S. A. D.
Puter.
He is reported to have said that he
had dealings with Puter. and had found
him honest and reliable. He had had
trouble with Horace McKlnley, a matter
of difference on account of a lawsuit.
McKlnley had sued Lloyd, Lloyd's
father and Willis Gilbert of Ashland,
Wis., for 310,500 as his share of certain
commissions. The suit still is, bending.
It was begun several months ago.
"After or before the beginning of pro-
ceedlngs against McKlnley In this case
we are now interested in?" Is th ques
tion said to have been put.
"Before this case was begun," was the
reply.
A Profound Sensation.
It was the second big sensation of the
hearing. The first sensation was the
testimony of Edwin Hobson of Eugene,
that he knew that several persons In
Eugene were acquainted with Robert
Simpson, the man alleged by Lloyd in
his affidavit to be fictitious.
According to a Portland lawyer, the
questions of the motive of Lloyd and
the existence of Simpson constitute the
whole case. If the defense can estab
lish, to the satisfaction of the Jury,
that Lloyd had a motive In making the
charges, and then prove that Simpson
really exists.- It will be strongly forti
fied against attack.
Simpson the Central rigiire.
Lloyd was called on to explain the
presence . of his name on the deed
whereby Robert Simpson (one of the
six men alleged by Clyde Lloyd to be
fictitious) conveyed land to Edwin Hob
son. It is understood that he said that
he affixed it without seeing Simpson,
depending upon the word of McKlnley
that it was all right.
Lloyd made the original affidavit that
Simpson and the five others were not
real men, but myths born of the imagin
ation of McKlnley, whose names were
forged to the papers signed by the per
sons accused In the process of locating
and proving up on their claims.
Today it was understood that testi
mony was introduced to prove that
Simpson really . exists and - onoe - visited
Eugene. It was even reported that
Clyde Lloyd introduced Robert Simpson
In Eugene.
Xnew Blmpson Personally.
There was some sort of sensation this
morning, the exact nature of which it is
difficult to establish, beyond' that it is
believed that E. J. Fraser. an'lmmlera
tion agent for Southern" Oregon towns,
a resident of Eujrene, substantiated the
previous statement of Edwin Hobson
that Robert Simpson was known to
have been In Eugene, and was known
personally to several persons there,
Fraser stated, according to the report,
that he himself met .Simpson, was In
troduced to i Simpson.' by-Clyde Lloyd,
and negotiated with htm a deal for the
naleof the identical quarter section of
timber land which Simpson conveyed to
Kdwiir Hobson after " receiving the
patent therefor.
Fraser is reported to have said that
oiners in jtiugene are acquainted wun
Simpson, and it; is rumored that some
of those other persons will be sub
poenaed before the grand Jury to testify
on this point.
This being the case. It will be lm
possible to complete the case today.
and it is quite1 certain that it will go
over until tomorrow, and perhaps until
next week,
The case of . T. A. Wood, accused xf
pension irregularities, occupied part of
the time today. ' Many witnesses were
present and of them a large number
were taken Into the grand Jury room.
Most of the witnesses appeared to be
widows of deceased veterans of the In

Sheboygan, Wis., Oct 23. The North
eastern Wisconsin Teachers' assocta
tion began its annual meeting here to
day with a full attendance of members
from the entire section covered by the
association, A two-days'.i program has
been arranged which, calls fai papers,
addresses and . discussions covering a
wide range of educational topics.
The petitioners in the deportation
cases won the first point today, in estab
llshing to the satisfaction of the court
and the United States attorney that
there was no statute prior to the act
of March, 1903, prohibiting a woman of
immoral character from coming into the
United States', unless she were im
ported. No further action was taken than to
hear a statement from the district at
torney to the effect that he had searched
the statutes and found that the conten
tion of ' the defense on this point was
true.
Judge Bellinger postponed the case,
with consent of the counsel' on both
sides, to 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The caaVs arising' out of the order for
the deportation of two French women
In Portland, Victoria Gautler and Louise
Lea, were up again this afternoon.
When the case came up at 2 o'clock
the task of the court was to settle the
questions as to whether or not Victoria
Gautler, who arrived at New York from
France in November, 1902, was subject
to any statute prohibiting any foreign
woman from coming to this country to
ply an Immoral vocation; whether or
not the prohibition of the entranoe Into
this country of such a person had been
made Illegal only by the passage or the
act of March 3, 1903. subsequent to the
arrival of Miss -Gautler, which, being
the case. Miss Gautler could not be
kept from this country, .unless she had
been Imported, the former statute being
clear upon that point; and whether or
not Miss Lea, who arrived in August,
1903, after the passage or the act, was
subject to deportation, even though she
was admittedly -of the character. Indi
cated by the inspector, if she had sue
ceeded In gaining an entrance, and was
no longer an Immigrant.
The case of Miss Gautler as presented
by the defense rested upon the law prin
ciple: that no statute can be made re
troactive, and that. Miss Gautler hav
ing come prior to the passage of the
1903 act, she was not subject to its provisions-so
. far as concerned the issue
involved in this case. (
As to Miss Lea's case, while it was
admitted ' that she was of the character
claimed by Inspector Estell, and that
she came after the passage of the 1903
act, the question arose as to whether or
not the . 1903 act provides a method of
deportation, or, in other words, whether
the- statute may be made operative in
reference to a person who has gained
an entrance to this country, and Is no
longer a newly arrived Immigrant.
There was no dispute that, were she In
the ship at the port, Bhe could be ex
cluded and must be carried back at the
expense of the ship that brought -her.
or iof -the Person, If any, who" brought
her here as a procurer.
The defense urged that Miss Lea is
here, is not a, newly arrivted immigrant
and therefore does noPwame under the
provisions of a law that lJWejvefl reg
ulation of officials in handling immi
grants. . f

BOY FALLS UNDER
ALBANY STREET CAR
MANY CLAIMS HANG
ON ONE DECISION
In an argument on demurrer in the
case of Caroline Schroeder, who has
brought suit against Multnomah county
for 12,000 for injuries received In the
Morrison street bridge accident last
July, Schuyler C, Spencer, attorney for
several claimants, said that he knew of
23 suits that would be filed if tb court
decided the county to be liable, - Other
attorneys have said that at least 80
cases would be filed in the event that
the court decides that the bridge is a
road..
Mr. Spencer said in his argument that
in case the county failed to keep the
bridges across .the river in proper re
pair It was liable in case of an-acci
dent. The statute provides that the duty
of operating, repairing and caring for
the bridges be Imposed Upon the county.
The attorney also said that by the pass
ing of this law t&e bridges became a
part of the" county t roads.
Deputy District Attorney A, C. Spen
cer and. Charles H. Carey, who appeared
for. the defense, laid that the. bridge
was not a legI county road. nor. a part
of one. Mr. Carey cited the fact that
the last legislature passed an act 'au
thorizing -the city,-who owns the bridge,
to remove the structure and build a new
one,: The mere fact that the bridge was
turned over to ther county court did not
makeLjlt-a-county-roadVatated ttre at
