A conference between the master bak

. the striking Journeymen nave all re
turned to work at those places. Corval
11s shops, they state, also resumed op
; era t ions this morning. All these out

the time the strike was declared at
Portland. The locals are affiliated, and
asked similar concessions at the same
time. ''.;" V ....... t ',V.
With ' half the shops In the city at
. work full handed the proprietors assert
that there is no danger that all eus
, tomers can be kept fully supplied wil
' bakers' products. 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

' 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

and in this manner they could keep
the most of their members employed.

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

of Mrs. Wbeeldon, manager of the house.

DEFECTIVE MATERIAL
IN CITY STREETS
Taxpayers' League Jabs City Officials in Its
Report on the Condition of Portland
Thoroughfares,
Assertions that defective material Is
used In. many of the streets In Port
land are a Dortlon of the report of the
Investigating committee of the Taxpay
ers' league, which filed a report wun n
citv auditor yesterday. 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

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

feel that if the league will take up this

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. " '"

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. Commis
sioner Showers declares that the sub
ject was not discussed with the sheriff
and . that no action would have been
taken,' anyhow, as Commissioner Barnes
was absent
None of the deputies In the sheriff's
office, except Daniel, had been called
in to state whetHer he would support
Btorey or his candidate on an Indepen
dent ticket up to an early hour thia
afternoon. All his men are in constant,
expectation of being summoned, and It
Is deemed unlikely that any of them
will subscribe to the undertaking.

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
