City and County Authorities Considering the Pos
sibility of Allowing Pedestrian Travel to
Continue During Construction WorL
' Pandlng an investigation of the terms
' of the contract by himself and an opinion
br the city attorney. County Judge Web
ster will make no order closing the Morrison-street
bridge; to pedestrlaps.
'We wish to know the legal status of
th case clearly before proceeding," said
Judge Webster, "So far as compatible
with the safety of the public and the con
venience -of the contractors we wish to
accommodate the public. If it Is decided
. to leave the bridge open for pedestrians
. we shall doubtless put up signs warning
people of danger and statins that the city
end county refuse to be responsible for
Injuries which may happen to those walk
ing across. At present it is unsettled
whether a suit. If, brought, would be
against the city or the county," It Is also
robabI that in case the footpath on
the bridge is left open policemen will
: be stationed there to look out for the
public as far as possible."
; The storm of protest aroused at the an
nouncement that pedestrian traffic was
to be stopped across the Morrison-street
bridge on Monday and that a special car
would carry passengers from, Frent to
East Water street for Z cents a trip com
'pelled the bridge, committee of the city
council to modify its plan and yesterday
they announced "that people could con
tinue walking on the bridge, but that
they would do so at their own risk. Two
deputy sheriffs and two policemen are
to be on doty there during the day and
will try to. prevent accidents, but if the
luckless pedestrians are hurt they will
have no legal redress.
Sig Slchel wanted to know If it was not
possible to operate 4 free car for the
people's accommodation, but several of
his confreres insisted that the privilege
was sure (o be abused and there was also
some question as to who should pay for
the operation of the car.' In fact, there
were so many questions as to the legality
of several phases of the bridge question
that City Attorney McNary was appealed
to. He will report In a few days.
Mr. Howell argued that It was an Im
position to charge people 2 cents to ride
across the bridge. "and there are many
on the east side and elsewhere who can
not afford to pay it," he insisted.
C. F. 8wlgert of the City & Suburban
insisted that somebody was trying to
make political capita out'of the agita
tion. .We discussed the question thor
oughly," he continued, "and thought that
we had reached the only possible solu
tion to the trouble. The price is not too
much and I do not think the people
should kick at paying it."
The officials of the contracting firm
do not look upon this solution of the
question with very'' much favor. They
anticipate all sorts of trouble from the
mixing up of streetcar, vehicle and pe
destrian traffic. - "There is great danger
of accident," stated Vice-president But
ler, "and we will not be responsible for
any damages. Building operations will
also be delayed and If only all traffic
could be suspended ws could build he
bridge in two-thirds the time It will
take now."

Aftermath of the Silverf iejd Fur Robbery Ap
: pears to Be a Scramble for Reward, and
Strange Rumors Are Afloat
f I. Jacobs,' manager Of the- Sllverheld.
fur store, says that he was approached
early this week by an attorney repre
senting himself .as coming from Sheriff
W. A. Storey and asked how much
would be put up for the return of the
13.600 worth of seal skins stolen from
the fur establishment February 12. The
lawyer, who did hot give him name to
Mr. Jacobs, was referred to Detectives
Pay and Weiner in regard to the re
ward. The detectives states that they
werevnot seen by any ambassador of the
sheriff.
it is now claimed that there was a
strong- effort on the part of, the sheriffs
office to "butt in" on the reward, and
there is a rumor afloat to the effect that
two deputies of Storey's called on Man
ager Jacobs early this week and asked
,iiim to arrange to have the prisoners
taken to the county jail and the goods
turned up. Jacobs would not confirm
this rumor and the truth of it could
not be verified today. But Jacobs did
admit that the attorney, whoever he
was. called " upon him, claiming td be
from the sheriff's office, asking as to
the amount to be paid for the return
of the stolen furs and saying that the
seal skins might be returned if Kelley
and Cullen were sent to the count!
Jail.. . ,, .......
Kelley was arrested with Matt Cullen
last Sunday night by Detectives Day
and Weiner and 8ergeant Carpenter.
Cullen had the goods and Kelley main
tained he knew nothing of the rob
bery, lie was released Thursday night
and today is as free as the birds of the
air. '
Early this morning G. F. Mclnnes was
held up near his home, 81 Seventh street,
and robbed of $5 cash, a gold watch',
a Jeweled stickpin, a handsome ring and
a revolver. The highwayman is de
scribed as being about six feet tall, well
built in proportion and cool and deter
mined in his work. All this i&ilies with
the description of JCelley. The police
say they do not know the whereabouts
of Kelley, but it is said that a sharp
lookout is being kept for him.
Kelley admitted to Municipal Judge
Ifogue that he had served a term of
three years in Joliet penitentiary, and
the police know him as one of the most
desperate and clever of criminals. The
robbery of the Silverfleld store proves
his ability, for there appears no doubt
that he broke into the home of Andrew
Kan at Sunnyside recently and secured
the impression of his key to the store
next to Silverfleld's . in' order that he
might enter there) and perpetrate the
Job. (
Notwithstanding that 'District Attor
ney Manning said yesterday that he did
not give his consent to the release of
Kelley, he today gave out the following
statement: ' t
"1 wished to prosecute the man. but
there seemed no evidence , whatever
whereby he could be convicted. Man
ager Jacobs seemed anxious to recover
the goods, and stated that If the goods
were returned ha would be willing
to drop' the case against Kelley. .,
"The man should have been sent on a
commitment to the county Jail, after
he had returned the goods to Silverfleld,
so that I could have filled out a true in
formation against Kelley.1 Then the reo-
oros would have been straight. As it
was, Kelley was turned loose from the
city jail without a record of any com
mitment, or anything to show what had
Become or this man."
l consulted attorneys, and they
seemed to be of the opinion that Kelley
cuuia noi oe convicted," said Manager L
jaeoDs. or silverfleld's. "I wanted the
furs, and was willing that Kelley be let
go, ii ne oe me means or having- them
returned to me. I saw Manning, and he
although at first wanting to prosecute
the case, said that he did not see how
Kelley could be convicted, and if I was
willing to drop the case if the goods
were recovered, he would agree to it."'
u is still asserted that no part of the
rewara ror the return of the furs has as
yet been paid, but Manager Jacobs said
today that in due time the 1300 will be
turned over to Detective Da v. and that
he understood that a portion of it was to
go to the man who told where the furs
were, ,
It is claimed in nolice clrl that
Kelley knows who robbed the resident
of Slgmund Frank of $4,000 worth of
diamonds recently, for . the return of
which there is a standing reward of
ouo. it is only natural, therefore, say
many omcers, ror me detectives tn
sire to clear iu the Frank rnhhertr
which has been hanging Are for a inn
time. Those seemingly in a position to
know state that Keey knows where the
rranK diamonds are at present, and this
may explain why he is at large today.

A Manufacturers' association of San

Din increasing the weight of merchan
dise that may be sent by mall.
The resolution recites that the Parcels
post bill, now pending before congress,
is inimical to the retail trade, nartlcu-
larly of the smaller cities, in that this
measure, if it becomes a law, will ex
pose them to unfair competition with
catalogue houses 2.000 or 3,000 miles
away, and would thus tend to centralize
trade in the larger cities, and the asso
ciation is unalterably opposed to the in

ages of merchandise, and it requests all
similar organizations to unite with It in
Its opposition to this measure.

of them came up to Portland this morn
ing to make format complaint to Major

o'clock they secured an audielice with
tne major, and presented their cas.
just wnat the nature of the interview
w,as is not known. When asked about
me matter. Major Langfltt said;
"A couple of the men who. were am-
ployed on the Chinook called on me this
morning..;' I do not care to make a
statement about the conversation. They
gave me their side or the storv. and
men departed. ;
"The case will be thoroughly invest!.
gated at once. If I find the hav
just complaint steps will be taken ta
rectiry affairs.
'I do not believe there is anvthlna-
wrong with the rations. Ths men are
allowed exactly the same .quantity of
iooa as is served on all the other boats
in the service, as well as that furnished
at Fort Stevens, There has never been
a complaint from any of those quarters.
The cost of food per man will approxi
mate 46 or SO cents a day. and thers
is no possible chance for araftlnr. The
supplies are bought by ths department
irom Dusiness nrms that give us ths
lowest bids. Some times they are-purchased
at Portland ana other times at
Astoria. I do not' see where there Is
the-slightest opportunity for anyone to
hold back supplies from the men for
the purpose of securing; a rakeoff."
Before ths committee conferred with
mm tnis morning the major said:
"It is possible there is something else
aside from the food question that caused
the men to quit. There has been some
friction between the deck and enstna
departments heretofore. That may have
something to do with the dissatisfac
tion of the men now, but I do not know
that it has.
Those who quit have been paid off.
and a new force employed to take their
places."
S. McReynolds. who was a fireman on
tho Chinook, said today: 'The whole
trouble aboard the Chinook was on ac
count of the quality of food served us.
We made complaint a week ago, and It
did no good. There were 21 men In the
mess I was In. The steward laid out
about a half dosen mutton chops. Just
enough for one of the three tables. One
of the boys asked: 'Aren't we going to
get mutton chops, too?' The Stewsrd
said he had no more. The chief engi
neer came in and we told him about it
He asked tMe steward if he had no more
meat. The stewsrd said he had. These
boys are entitled to Just the same fare
we get, the chief engineer said. But i
we didn't get it. The government al
lows each of us $15 a month for rations
but it didn't , look like we a-ot our
money's worth.
They served us with salt salmon
most of the time. It was good' salmon.
but too salt to eat. The rest of the
time we had hash and bread and butter,
They made the coffee with salt water.
"When we came to breakfast yester
day morning there' was ths same old
salt salmon. A fireman named Bar
rctt said: That isn't fit grub for us to
work on.' Captain Dunbar was there
and heard him. If you don't like it you
can get your money," he said. So we all
packed our kits, 41 of us. The captain

SAYS SPOKANE
IS
WAKING UP
"For years the people of Spokane have
sat around and considered that their
mining interests and ths grain were their
main standbys. It was left for ths peo
ple of Michigan, after their pine .had
given out, to come to Washington and
Idaho to find new fields." F. Lewis
Clark of 8pokane, a well known mining
man and capitalist, who is In Portland
today, declares that ,the timber Indus
try at the Falls City : Is destined to
rival even that of wheat, and he - says
the laugh Is on Spokane in allowing out
siders to find this out,
"A big lumber mill Is being built at
Spokane that Is merely the removal of
a large plant from Michigan." he said.
"During the past yesr an electrte line
21 miles in .length connecting Spokane
snd Coeur d'Alene City has been con
structed, merely for the purposs - of
transporting lumber, hut ths passenger
traffic Alone is proving , a. paying In
vestment."
Mr. Clark says that this year work
on an electric line 100 miles in length
reaching south from Spokane to the
Snake river is to be constructed, and
work has already commenced.'
