All the shops are working to a certain extent. To take tbe place of the strikers women and girls hare been employed, and at some of such shops the Information Is given ' out that the situation is not nearly so ' bad as It might be. If a settlement is not soon reached i members of the union declare that they will start a co-operative' bakery. They I state that they have ample funds on ' hand to embark In such an enterprise, and in this manner they could keep the most of their members employed. About the only material difference be tween the new and the old agreement is an Increase of wages askea for bench hands. This class of labor is now being paid 1C a week, and 111 Is demanded.

INSANE MOTHER HAS PITIFUL STORY Cleveland Morse, charged with threat ening to kill his Insane mother, was ar raigned before Municipal Judge Hogue this morning. He admitted that he might have made' the threat, but In ex tenuation said he was not always in his right mind. t , . : His mother was present, and pleaded for the court to make her son cease his cruel treatment of her. In her deluded mind there seemed to be a feeling of in tense hatred for, her nusband,, from whom she was divorced' nine years ago. She told Judge Hogue that the father of the boy should be compelled to support her and her son. The case was flnall Aianosed of by the court suspending sentence and giv ing the metter Into the care of Detec tive Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid society. ' MITCHELL HAS NO POLITICAL AMBITION (Journal Special Service.) Indianapolis, Ind., March 22. Reply Ing to continued suggestions that . he be a candidate for vice-president ' for one party or another; John Mitchell this morning said: "I am not a candi date for any political 'office, either ap pointive or elective, and wouldn't ac cept the nomination of any if offered." In view of the fact that it has been repeatedly stated In the press and elsewhere that Mitchell would probably be offered the commtaslonerahlp of labor. his statement this . morning becomes significant. Mitchell has often stated that he worked purely from principle, and that his greatest ambition was to uplift the miners, of whom he is the head. . . ACCUSES Or BOBBSBT. Oeorge E. McCartney, alias Frank Russell, was held to .the grand Jury this morning by Municipal Jucge Hogue on the charge of larceny from a room In the Hobart-Curtis apartment house.

The report of the committee will be presented to the city council at Its next meeting. Allegations have been maae max n city streete were defective In that they were made of defective material. A committee was appointed by the Tax payers' .league for ,the purpose of In vestigating the charges and to present Its findings to the mayor ana council. City officials profess ignorance or me charges which are made by the commit tee. Mayor , Williams refused to dis cuss the matter, saying that he had not seen the report, and that he knew nothing of its contents. Various coun cllmen also said that they knew nothing of the contents of the report. City En gineer1 Elliott also refused to talk. . '-' The Xsagne's Presentation. T. W. Mulkey, president, and .L. J. Goldsmith, secretary of the Taxpayers' league, have filed a letter addressed to the mayor and city council in which Is discussed the report .filed recently by the league's executive committee. , In the letter they say: "The executive committee of the Tax payer a' league desires to call - your at tention to a report recently made by Its committee on streets, and to ask that this report be given your earnest atten tion.' In connection with thia report, and supplementing it, we beg leave to sug gest that you must have observed the desire within the last year or two on the part of the people of thia city to have good streets, followed by an apparent determination now to stop all proposed Improvement a In view of the fact that It la well known that the property- holder desires to improve, there must be some good reason for thia almost uni versal opposition to proposed improve ments which have been inaugurated by your honorable body. In this connection we desire to state that the feeling is be coming Intensified that the property holder Is getting nothing for hla money When he pays It out for street Improve ments; that either' the specifications are Of such a character, or the work done Is of such a nature, or the Inspec tion la so poor, or there Is such lack of care after the streets are Improved, or a combination of the whole, aa to create a lack of confidence. It is not our de sire to impugn the Integrity of the city engineer's office or of any one connected therewith, but candor requires us to state that there la not such confidence in this office as ought to exist to bring about the beat results. Discourages Improvements. "Furthermore, equal candor requires us, to, state. that the manner In which streets have" been allowed to be treated by your honorable body and the officers of the city, sifter they have, been built, tends also to discourage improvements. As an - Instance, on Twenty-fourth and other streets your honorable body gave a ' permit - o- contractors to ' haul over these-etreete -tractio-englne,-and re auired a S3.900 bond, This bond cov ered streets costing many thousands of dollars in excess of the amount of the bond required, and It would be far cheap er for the contractors In the end simply to forfeit the bond and pay It than to restore the streets. Also that portion of Second street used by the City A Bub urban Railway company is another ex ample of a street being allowed to go to ruin for lack of repairs. A corporation, while enjoying special privileges In tbe street, mistreats It; for we are sure no individual would be allowed to Indulge in such practices. Instances of this kind might be multiplied, but these are sufficient to illustrate the point we de sire to make. It is the same with the Inspection and acceptance of streets. It is claimed In connection with the as phalt that the defect la the material could not have been ascertained before It was laid . In this we do not concur. If asphalts and materials of that kind, which reaulre a chemical analysis to derf termlne their character, are to be usedjj then the city-engineer s office should analyse them, and the engineer should either possess ' these qualifications or have some one in his office who does. It has been said but for the truth of this we do not vouch that in the late Improvement of Washington street In ferior cement waa used for the founda tion. However, be this as It may, we think it time that plan speaking should be the order of the day, and without de siring to create any 111 feeling we do say that some radical steps will have to be taken to reform the method of street improvements in this city, or there will ba universal protests against it It is the same way in sidewalk improvements. It has been claimed and demonstrated as a fact that a taxpayer Individually will get a better sidewalk, and at a lower price, than does tne city wnen- n con tracts for such work. The average tax payer prefers to bear the ills he has rather than get into something which experience has demonstrated will be worse. The Beport. The report signed by Leo Friede, J. N. Teal, A. J. Giesy and Thomas Scott Brooks and addressed to the executive committee of the league follows: The undersigned, your committee to whom was referred the complaints re specting streets recently paved with asphalt In this city, beg leave to report that they have investigated the matter to some extent, and find the facts to be as follows: "A report was in circulation to the ef fect that defective material had tbeen used on some or all of these streets. Your -committee called the attention of Mr. Taylor, the superintendent pf the asphalt company in this city, to this statement and to the condition, or some of the streets and portions of some re cently naved with asphalt; and from hla statement it appears that during last year. a cargo of "Alcatras" asphalt was shipped to Portland to the Trinidad Asphalt company of this city, about one half of the cargo remaining here and one-half going to Seattle, It has since transpired that a mistake had been made In refining this asphfllt, and that the entire cargo was defective and not suitable for paving purposes. To all ap pearances, the material was ' of good quality, and there was nothing to Indi cate any defect until the use of the street developed that fact Defective Paving. ."Just tft what extent this defective material went Into the pavements can not be definitely stated at this time. The repairs on ' 81xth street, however, were made with it entirely. These re pairs the .company , have not asked the City to accept nor have they been ac cepted, and Mr. Taylor says that tne sur face of this street will be taken up and "Alder ' street: A portion of this street, : but lust to what extent Is not known, waa also paved with this ma terial. The company state. In connec tion with this street, that as soon as the weather permits, they will strip what ever la necessary and relay the surface, even if it has to be done on the enflre street. . "Morrison street: It Is thought that Morrison street has no defective ma terial in it, but possibly below Tenth street to a limited degree some may have been used. ''The company anticipate ho trouble on Washington, Third and 8eventh streets from this cause. "The company further state that they will replace all defective material at their own expense, and maintain the pavement for a period of five years, ana that by April 1 a new cargo of asphalt, which has been thoroughly tested, will be received, so the work can commence as soon as the weather will permit Testing Materials. "The paving company here claim that so far as the preparation of material and the laying of the same Is concerned, the utmost care was exercised by them, and that the trouble was caused solely by the mistake made In refining the asphalt above referred .to. "While It Is. true that to the eye the defect in this material would not be ob servable, we feel that the city author ities should have tested It by a chemical analysis before aoceptlng the streets. Defective blocks or bricks are rejected and so should other material be. In this Instance the company Buffers the loss, but that Is no excuse for accepting as good what is really defective, "Complaints have been made at times by the asphalt paving company to the effect that asphalt paving la injured by leaks from gas mains. In this connec tion we would statv that an inquiry ad dressed, to an asphalt company to C U Gru risky, the city engineer of San Fran cisco, a man of high standing and a reo ognlsed authority,, elicited the following answer, which is dated At 8an Francisco, February 19, 1904: " 'In reply to youri inquiry relating to the detrimental effect of gas leaking from mains'-' upon pavements .of asphalt and bituminous rock, I desire to state that no such effect in this cltj' has come to my notice.' "It has also been claimed that an asphalt pavement does not do well In a wet climate. In this connection we would state that we have been advised that the asphalts generally laid In pave ments, contain a large percentage of foreign matter, which Is so.'uble In water. This is said to be the cause of the asphalt companies throughout the country having abandoned laying asphalt In gutters, using Instead brick or other material. . 5 Asphalt and Water. ""While it seems to be generally ac cepted as a fact that Trinidad and Ber mudea asphalts are the best for street paving purposes, It, la .just as vigor ously maintained by domestic- produo' ers that the foreign asphalt does not compare in purity with the domestio product, and that It Is a success In a wet climate. The company operating here Is now using the California as phalt quite largely. "The city ; ordinances provide that Trinidad, Bermudes, Alcatras (a Cali fornia asphalt), or any other asphalt equally good, may be used. We find, from the inquiries we have Instituted, that California asphalts have been used with success In New York City, Brook lyn and other places. "It must be apparent from the re suits obtained In street work here that, something is radically wrong some where. "Before much can be expected a thor oughly equipped city engineer's office is a necessity. The very best talent available should be procured. This of fice should be posted on all kinds of paving, both as to materials and meth ods. . Tbe engineer should be an au thority on the subject a leader, not a follower. There should be specifications that will produce results. Inspections that Inspect The engineer, should be an educator of the people. Brave enough to withstand popular clamor, strong enough to do things, instead of allow ing the people to be driven hither and thither by the conflicting claims of in terested paving contractors, he should, if necessary, protect them from' them selves. The facts In the case before us are sufficient to show the necessity for the kind of talent required In the offloe of the city engineer. "Bedeviled and Bewildered." "We are spending houndreds of thou sands of dollars a year now on streets, and bedeviled and bewildered property holders have no place to go for advice, no one on whom to lean, and 'the result is our picturesque if Impassable streets. 'Furthermore, from our experience with street paving in this city, we have almost concluded that to allow each In dividual property-holder to determine the kind and character of pavement which should be laid In front of his property Is the roost fruitful source of trouble, as It results 'In the streets being paved not only with many differ ent kinds of material, but much of It of an Inappropriate kind; one part of It will consist of basaltic blocks, which will last a long time; another part of macadam; then a strip of asphalt; a block or two of bricks, etc, the result of It being that. the whole etreet Is a botchwork. - i "We. do not believe there will ever be many first-class streets In the city of Portland until the" pjwer of the property-holder to stop the Improvement or to dictate the character and kind of pavement to be laid, is more largely taken from him. As a proof of this, we would suggest that any reader of this report call a meeting of the property- holders on any street and obtain the different views as to the character of pavement to be laid. We will under take to say that ft will vary, on the same street ana wiimn a limit or ten blocks, from sprinkling a bit of gravel to laying granite blocks on a cement foundation, and will cover at least eight different kinds of pavement ' "In other words, we think a great deal of blame is attached to the city author ities in the matter of the deficiency in street paving and. 'maintenance, that properly should be laid on the shoul ders of the property-holders themselves, However, we do feel that the city does not reoognlse, as it should, the fact that street building is a, specialty, and that It shoul employ an expert,. In some capacity on mis wora, ana Because peo ple feel that this is not the case is the most cogent reason why they will not give up their , veto . power over . tho streets. To put It plainly, they lack confidence in this respect and feel they know about as much on the subject as 13 $2.40 If If This week we have placed on sale 48 of these hand some hand-polished Recep tion Chairs, in golden oak and mahogany finish, for only ta.40 delivered. Reg ular price 15.00, ' 130 minds ef the property-holders- that no street, however well made, will remain In good condition unless it is main tained ; that it can only be maintained by the city; that the city can only maintain It by having money to do it with, and that this , money can only be raised by taxation. "The attempt to get something for nothing has very often been tried, but It has thus far proven a failure, and this failure has no better Illustration than the theory we have seemed to work upon here in the past, that if a street waa once built nothing would there after be required to maintain it We feel that if the league will take up this matter on the lines above Indicated, good can be accomplished." OUSTS 19 DEPUTIES. (Continued from Page One.) nominee of the Republican party for as sessor to succeed McDonnell. Bid well is a brother-in-law of Judge i Carey. chairman of Che Republican county cen tral committee. The story originates from an authori tative source that 'the campaign contri bution of 1250 made by Assessor Mc Donnell has been returned to him and that Sheriff Storey's $300 will be returned to him this afternoon or tomorrow. The story receives coloring from the fact that Assessor McDonnell refuses either to deny or affirm that his money has been returned. Sheriff Storey declares that no'money has been repaid him yet. He adds that there Is little likolihood of -"the $11,000 I have spent on the party ever being repaid." Carey and Matthews Clash. . la this connection a most interesting fact has come to light. It was brought forth by the defenders of Judge Carey, chairman of the Republican county com mittee, who allowed Storey to make the contribution. It is declared that Carey took the money In good faith, as he did McDonald's, in the full belief that the convention was to be open and that no slate was to be permitted. In this be lief he Is said to have bumped when he least expected it against the deter mination of "Jack" Mlatthesvs that a slate should be prepared. The result was a quarrel between Carey and Matthews the night previous to the convention. "I refuse to stand for a slate," Judge Carey is quoted as saying. "The con vention must be open. We have taken all the money offered ua and It would be utterly unfair at this stage to .make up a elate." Matthews Insisted on a slate and the result was that there -waa a heated ar gument from which anything but a friendly feeling has resulted. Mat thews went ahead ana prepared a slate and tbe result is seen. "Tee, I am out," said Dryden, when questioned this morning. "I stayed by Storey until the laet. I cannot bolt the party for him." Daniel says he sympathises with Storey and feels friendly for him de spite his discharge, but that as he was one Of those prominent In forming the Mitchell wing of the party he cannot go contrary to its action now. The sheriff this morning, sent for a former deputy In his office, a son of Miles Ovaltt, and for David Mackay, to both of whom he offered the chief dep utyshtp to succeed Dryden, and both re fused. This refusal waa largely owing to a belief that the county court and county; board of commissioners would refuse to permit their salaries being paid. " '" On the notice discharging hla depu ties In the tax department. Sheriff Storey did not sign bis own name, but placed simply In typewriting sthe words, "By order of the court" County Judge Web ster did not see Storey before he dis missed his men, and knew nothing of It until after it had occurred.

All his men are in constant, expectation of being summoned, and It Is deemed unlikely that any of them will subscribe to the undertaking. Thomas Hialop, one of- the disap pointed candidates for the nomination for-county commissioner, called , at the tax collector's office this morning and In the hearing of a half dosen persons as serted; "I must see Storey. I am going to vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom hereafteranything to beat the regular Republican ticket ' Hlslop called on Storey . and had a long talk with him.
