"The following aulta, however,-hava

DIRECTED TOWARD MR.
CRANEY, WHO DENIES ALL

Over Pavement in Street
Committee Results in a War
of Words Only, f ; ;
The reputation "of CharleB Craney,
manager of the Trinidad Asphalt com
pany, was assailed yesterday afurnoon
by . H. WltUnberg at the meeting of
the street committee of the council. It
waa said by Craney that Wittenberg bad
accused him of complicity in tha famous
Doodling eaaea In St Lou la. ' '
Craney waa ; pot In the , room when
Wittenberg made the charges, but as
soon as he entered and learned what had
been said he. went to Wittenberg ajd
denied the accusations, ' '
"Thsy are true,", said Wlttanberg, ax
cltsdly. .... -i" ",'-' '
"They are 'not nd you eannot prove
them." retorted Oraney. .'"
. "I can prove them; I'll show1 you op.
"Do- It then; t defy you to do If
shouted Craney trembling with anger.
"I'll aet vour racord." aald Wittenberg,
aa a parting ahot aa Oraney left; .
Tha charges were made aurmg a Dis
cussion for tha improvement of Holladay
avenue from' the ateel bridge to Thir
teenth Btreetr;Somo time ago H. Wit
tenberg and 'a number, of other property
owners petitioned for tba improvement
of the atreet with' Warren's bltballtbio
pavement.- Tha council found that the
petition had not-been signed by one
third of tha property owners. They sisV
stttuted a. resolution to Improve the
atreet from the bridge to First atreet
with wooden' block pavement and from
First to- Union avenue with bltbuilthle
pavement
To this plan Mr.' Wittenberg objected
and said the property owners would re
monstrate against and defeat any effort
to Improve the atreet to Union avenue
only. - They must hava tha atreet im
proved to Thirteenth, or not at alt --
City engineer Waaser stated that be
thought be could build a wood block
pavement on which horses would not
slip and which would be superior to any
pavement of tha kind which had ever
been laid In thla city. Mr. Wittenberg
then proceeded to attack different peo
ple. . - . ' 1 ' .
1 understand, aald be. "that the
resolution to Improve this street' to
Union avenue has been Introduced by
the agent of the Oregon Real Batata
company. His tricks are aa vain and

- "Bef ore von take the advioa.of this

look up hla record., I safer you to Gov

something about him and hla actions In

thla man before you accept his advice."
Chkrles Craney stoutly denied the ac
cusation of Wittenberg. He aald that
he had not been la St Louis, and that
Mr. Wittenberg .wad entirely wrong In
hla accusations. . ' - ---41
