appear to be satisfactory to a majority
Of the east side residents and the mayor
and executive board wished to confer
wtih those interested.
At a meeting of the bridge committee
f the executive board yesterday It was
decided to close the bridge to foot pas
sengers next Monday. The City & Su
burban Street Railway company proposed
to run, cars over the bride, charging 2,
cents a ticket in- lots of five.
This the board approved of. The street
.car company intends to transfer pas
sengers to the bridge cars at the St.
Charles hotel and at East Water street
However, pending an Investigation of
the circumstances, s.nd particularly of
the terms of the contract for reconstruc
tion, no order will be Issued by County
Judge Webtser suspending , foot traffic
on the Morrison-street bridge. The board
t county commissioners grappled with
the problem at the meeting held this
morning, but reached no definite conclu
sion as regards action, though the mem
bers were of .the opinion that such an
order will soon have to be issued.
J It was the Intention of the Pacific Con
struction company, which has the con
tract for building the new bridge, to be
gin work on the structure Monday. The

; Two facts came to light this morn

One is that Dltchburn will serve no sum

probably not endeavor to compromise
but will fight the suit.
"I do not regard Forbusch as to

my reputation, I hold, because I thrashed
him in the office of District Attorney

A SNOW-STORM
is always the fore
rxinner of colds, grippe
and pneumonia. When
the snow is followed
by severe cold the con
ditions are still worse.
We can say confidently
that no other remedy
so strengthens and
fortifies the body
against these attacks
as Scott's Emulsion.
Thirty years prove it
mm
on this dummy," said Commissioner
Showers. "It is beyond our jurisdiction
or that of the county court, in fact, to
say whether a charge shall be made or
not. Our work will cease when this order
goes into effect."
Judge Webster did not decide to have
the order held off until after the board
adjourned. Then a question arose in his
mind as to certain provisions in the con
tract, particularly with -regard to the
subsidy to be drawn by the traction conv
pany during the work on the bridge. He
decided that it would be best to exercise
caution regarding the Issuing of such an
order until he had looked Into the subject
In Its various phases.
"It seemed to us to be the only success
ful way of accommodating the people,"
explained Mayor , Williams today. "It
Is said to be necessary to stop traffic,
for the people would be In constant
danger of accident and It will be neces
sary to tear away the sidewalks to start
work on the foundations. The company,
I understand, does not want to make any
money through the inconvenience to the
public; they simply desire to pay the ex
pense of the special car."
"When once the contractors take
charge of the bridge they have full and
complete control of the structure. In my
opinion," said City' Auditor Devlin.
"While they ;are conducting building op
erations they take absolute charge and
It is entirely optional with them as
to what mariner of traffic is permitted.
Of course they will not assume too many
risks and deem -it a danger to allow
foot- trttfflc. Therefore they want It
stopped. It is aomething which they
city has nothing to say about. I pre
sume if they want to arrange with the
streetcar company for a dummy service
it Is a personal matter that ia entirely
out of our jurisdiction."

EXCBABOB VIEWS.
A large number of property-owners on
Yamhill street, between Fourth and
Chapman, met yesterday afternoon at
Ladd Tlltona bank for the purpose of
discussing the proposed improvement of
tne street. The first question consid
ered was whether the street should be
improved. . Residents on Yamhill, be
tween Sixteenth and Chapman, said that
that part of the street is in excellent
condition, and this was corroborated by
others who had visited and inspected it.
A resolution in favor of Improving the
remainder of Yamhill street was then
adopted by large majority.
There was a prolonged discussion as
to the character of Improvement that
should be made. Some of those pres
ent were in favor of merely dressing
the street up, but the majority were In
favor of a substantial improvement The
views of t'he property-owners as to the
kind of improvement needed varied
greatly, and it was finally agreed that
the street committee of the city council
should be aaked to advertise for bids
for the various classes of improvements,
also for bids for the maintenance of the
street after it has been Improved. By
this plan there will be opportunity for
contractors to bid upon ' each kind of
Improvement, and the property-owners
will have the advantage of both ccmpe
tljion as to cost of construction and
maintenance, and of a full exposition ot
the merits of the several kinds of im
provement Under the provisions of the
new charter the street committee can
call for bids In this way. -
There is no question that Yamhill
street will be improved, and the matter
will be considered by the street com
mittee of .the city council at 2 o'clock
next Friday aTternoon. in the city hail.
Property-owners who desire to be heard
by the committee will be present at the
meeting.

California Democratic Leaders at Work for

: A movement is On foot .which may
exert a powerful influence upon the
presidential nomination by the next
Democratic 1 national convention, , and
which, if successful, will make the Pa
cific coast states a far more Important
factor in national affairs than they have
been hitherto.
i It Is proposed to effect a eojnbinatlon
of all of the coast states and territories,
so that their delegations' may vote as
a unit in the Democratic national con
ventton. By such united action the ex
treme western states will . command a
recognition which has been denied them
in the past, and they will have an influ

Califomlans Meet Governor.
Hon. B. D. Murphy and Louis M.
Mooser, "respectively chairman and
treasurer of the Democratic state cent
tral committee of California, are here in
Portland for the purpose of interesting
leading Democrats of this state In the
proposed combination, and' they are in
conference this afternoon with Governor
Chamberlain. During the past three
days they have conferred with a num-:
ber of other prominent Democrats and I
the plan which they are advocating has
met with strong approval.
California, Oregon. Washington, Idaho, i
Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and
Colorado are to be included in the com
bination, and it has been suggested that
it would be eminently fitting that Gov
ernor Chamberlain, the only Democratic
governor on the coast, should act as
chairman of the consolidated delega
tions. While Senator Murphy is himself
strongly in favor of the nomination of
William R. Hearst as the Democratic
candidate for president, both he and Mr.
Mooser say emphatically that the pro
posed combination la not in the Interest
of Hearst or of any other candidate.
Wants a Solid West.
"California Is very desirous that there
should be unity of action between the
Pacific Coast states." said 8enator Mur
phy, "so that their Influence may be felt
in the national convention and In order
to aid in obtaining legislation for this
coast. In the past the votes of these
states have been scattered and their in
fluence has been very slight. If they
act together, adopting the unit rule, they
will be a strong factor in the convention
and can also exert an Influence upon con
gress." "The primary object of our trip," sup
plemented Mr. Mooser, '.is to effect this
combination of the Pacific Coast states
and territories. We are not here as the
emissaries of any individual candidate.
We want the delegations to come to the
convention free-handed and there settle
for themselves whom they will support
If our plan IS successful the delegations
will adopt the unit rule and the major

BOB DID WOT AUTHORXM KELLY'S
RELEASE.
George Kelly, arrested by Detectives
Day and Welner and Sergeant Carpenter
for complicity In the theft of a large
amount of furs from SUverfleld's fac
tory recently, was released today by
Chief of Police Hunt, without authority
from District Attorney Manning, ac
cording to the statement of the latter
official. Kelly was bound over to the
grand- jury and placed under $2,000
bonds, which he never gave. He was
let go today.
When a commitment to the county Jail
was issued by Municipal Court Clerk
Olson yesterday for Matt Cullen, the
other alleged fur thief, none was asked
for Kelly, and It developed this morn
ing that he had been released.
Judge Hogue stated this afternoon
that the detectives had asked him to let
the man go, but he told them he could
not do so. They then went to Deputy
District Attorney Adams, who telephoned
to Manning, and the release was made.
Manning today denied that he agreed to
the release. .
"The police had no business to let
Kelly out," said Manning today, "and
if they do that it will get so that if
any criminal tells where goods are lo
cated he wilt be released."
"Kelly was released because he told
where things were, and nothing could
have been proved against him, anyway,"
said Manager I. Jacobs of the Stlverfleld
Fur manufactory.
There is a reward of tZOO for the re
turn of the stolen furs, and Kelly told
the detectives where me plunder was
located. As published yesterday, ' the
furs were recovered. No part of the re
ward has yet been paid.

Hearst's Candidacy.
' Senator Murphy said: "While it is
too early to forecast the action of the
California delegation, I think It will be
friendly to' Mr. Hearst I do not think
that It will be , Instructed, and will be
free to act with the delegates from the
other coast states.
"California has a friendly feeling for
Mr; Hearst. His father was a pioneer
and a United States senator, from Cal
ifornia. His mother Is a regent of the
state university and has made large do
nations to the Institution. Mr. Hearst
ia a native son, and we are anxious tq
have some one from the west in- the
presidential chair. But apart from all
this, California is very desirous of se
curing unity of action among the coast
States. It should be productive of sub
stantial results in securing legislation
from congress. I understand that you
people , in Oregon have had to assess
yourselves at times in order to keep the
Willamette and Columbia rivers open
for navigation. I do not see why con
gress should not make complete provis
ion for that Many other measures
which this coast wants might be ob
tained if our states were acting in
concert While we are endeavoring to
bring about a combination among the
Democrats we would also advise the
Republicans of the coast to do the same
thing."
Chamber lain for Oh airman.
"Who would head the united delega
tions of the. coast states In the conven
tion," Senator Murphy was asked.
"The logical chairman of the Pacific
coast delegation would be Governor
Chamberlain," he replied. "He Is the
only Democratic governor on the coast,
and In my opinion, should be the head
of our combined delegations."
In response to a question as to the
probable attitude of the California dele
gation toward Hearst, .Mr. Mooser said:
"It would be unwtse at this time
to think of pledging the Cal
ifornia delegation. Inasmuch as
that would preclude' the possibility
of this Joint arrangement with the other
coast states and territories. -
Mr. Mooser had little to say as to
the different candidates for the presiden
tial nomination.
"We in California" he said, "want ss
far as possible, to eliminate the line of
demarcation between Cleveland Demo
crats and Bryan Democrats. Here is a
radical Cleveland Democrat," pointing to
Senator Murphy, "and I am a radical
Bryan Democrat, yet we get along to
gether all right. Oh, yes, I suppose
there will be a conflict in the .national
convention. There is bound to be a
clash, and we can't get away from it,
but perhaps It may not amount 'to
much." '
Senator Murphy and Mr. Mooser have
been invited to remain in Portland until
next week afid attend the meeting of the
Democratic state central committee, and
they may decide to do so. Their mission
promises to be successful, so far as the
Democrats of this state are concernea,
for the party leaders whom they have
seen are generally strongly disposed to
favor the proposed alliance.
BEQUESTS WILL
NOT BE SETTLED
In the work of administering the es
tate of Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell. deceased,
it has been discovered that full payment
of the bequests she made Is impossi
ble, as she over-estimated the value of
her estate. Among the bequests is one
of $106,200 to charitable institutions and
oth'er beneficiaries. The heirs are Wal
ter F Burrell, Mrs. Margaret Burrell
Blddle and Mrs. Helen Burrell Voorhles.
Under the terms of the will as Attorney
Dolph, who drew it Interprets them, the
charities snd other beneficiaries will
receive about $25,000; otherwise they
will get In the neighborhood of $70,000.
Capt. Gordon Voorhles, administrator
of Mrs. Burrell's estate, said this morn
ing: "In my petition for the sale of the
real estate I said that the heirs had no
tified me that the stocks In question be
longed to them. I did this in order to
give fair notice to everybody concerned
that that was the Interpretation . put
upon the will by the administrator and
his attorney. C. A. Dolph, who for years
has been the family lawyer and who
drew the will. Mr. Dolph told the heirs
that he believed the stock belonged to
them.
Mrs. Burrell over-estimated the vlue
of her estate. Her will of 19 Is al
most a-redraft of one she made in ifii
before she began her announced plan
of distributing her property before her
death. By 189 she had distributed a
considerable part of her estate- so that
her over-estimate of Its value is easily
explained. a " .: ,
"I have been indirectly approached
with a proposal that the .heirs waive
their claim to the stocks in question, in
favor of the charities which Mrs. Bur.
rell remembers in her 'will, .The heirs
take the position that they do not know
absolutely to whom the stock belongs.
That is a matter for the court to de
cide. They do not wish credit for giving
away something that does not belong to
them and they do not see their way
clear.tffl waive claim to anything..
"When the estate Is reduced to cash I
propose to ask the court for an interpre
tation of the clause which leaves to the
children 'all moneys, notes and choses
In action.' The question is, what is a

"The settlement of the estate should
not occupy above sl weeks or two

The Yoimg Men's Christian associa
tion of North America have Interests in
Japan which make them deeply con
cerned in watching the progress of the
war, and the possible later invasion, of
Japan. There are now six. American
secretaries in Japan. . Galen M. Fisher
of California la national general secre
tary and V. W. Helm of Indiana national
secretary for the city work, O, S. Phelps
of Michigan is secretary at Kyoto.
George Gleason of Massachusetts is sec
retary at Osaka. C. V. Hibbard of Wis
consin is student secretary at Kyoto,
there are also It instructors in the
government schodls in Japan who were
selected and secured at the request of
the Japanese government from among
the college association leaders of North
America by Mr. Fisher. These men,
while in the employment of the govern
ment as teachers are conducting Bible
classes in their own homes ' and are
volunteer leaders In the many university,
college and city associations of the
country. Five buildings have been
erected with the help of Americans at
Tokio, Kyoto, Osaka and Ku ma mo to,
worth $58,000.
Many of the officers of the associa
tion have been educated In America
and are among the national leaders of
Japan. The late Hon. K. Kataoka, pres
ident of the lower house of parliament
was president of the association at
Toklo. He always opened parliament in
silent prayer, and held at his residence
a Bible class for some of his closest
friends in the house. In the board of
directors of 'the Kyoto association ace
included a major . of the army, a pro
fessor In the government college, a
member of the city council, an owner
of electric railway and merchants and
prominent Japanese cit liens.
The hero of the naval battle at Chem
ulpo, Rear Admiral TJrln, was trained
at the naval academy at Annapolis and
during two years was president of the
Young Men's Christian association. The
Japanese associations are planning o
undertake an army work similar to that
done by the American associations dur
ing the Spanish war.
There is being enlisted In the asso
ciations at Japan many of its eminent
leaders, who take time to attend con
ferences, to study arid direct the national
association movement. At a recent
meeting of six associations were three
college presidents, two Judges, an attor
ney, city official, a member, of legation,
one member of parliament, an officer
of Japan's largest steamship company
and three teachers.
Baron Mltsu Maejlma, ex-postmaster-general
of Japan, recently said: "The
religion of Christ Is the one most full
of strength and promises for the nation
and Individual. I can congratulate the
Young Men's Christian association upon
the good work it Is doing for the wel
fare of our young men."
There. are now in' Japan tT associa
tions, 2,600 members. Over 1,000 Jap
anese young men in. Bible classes, a
large force of native secretaries have
been enlisted. There are 18 hotels or

The loss at the burning of the Port

fire originated in sme of the machines,
where shoddy, wool and cotton are
mixed. It. spread rapidly. The hand
fire ' extinguishers and the, -small hose
which comprised the fire protection of
the factory made no showing against
the mass of flames. The only thing left
standing Is the woolhouse.
The mill employed on an average of
150 persons, and had a payroll of about
$6,000 per month. Many of the em
ploye were building homes at Sellwood,
and that suburb will be a great sufferer
from the fire. The output of the plant
was about $30,000 worth of goods a
month. All of the machinery Is ruined.

years, was making money and had for
